Mei Xiaoren asked the palanquin drivers to wait on the spot, and she found another secluded alley and went in to wait first.

She turned around and saw Ye Zhi coming with a lantern, and asked confusedly, "Didn't you move to the General's Mansion today?" How is it here? ”

"Because of this letter, my lord." Ye Zhi took out the letter he had received this morning and beckoned.

Mei Xiaoren said with a smile: "Don't be careful, this letter has nothing to do with the position, I really want to congratulate you, but there are some things that are inconvenient to say in person." ”

"My lord refused, and only sent such a letter, because of the last time?" Ye Zhi didn't wait for Mei Xiaoren to answer, and explained by himself, "There is a debtor and a debtor, and I will not impose grievances that have nothing to do with adults, in short, the last incident has nothing to do with adults, I came because I don't want adults to misunderstand." ”

Mei Xiaoren couldn't help frowning, what did Ye Zhi mean that he only remembered Chu Yu's hatred?

"Lao Ye, listen to me, what happened last time ......"

"My lord doesn't need to explain, I know what my own fate is." Ye Zhi said indifferently, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Grievance and resentment, right and wrong, it is enough to remember it for a long time if you can't tell the difference at one time, if you don't hate or hate, it's stupid." ”

"Lao Ye, it's inconvenient for me to say anything else, I didn't treat you as any enemy, but now the situation is getting more and more chaotic, and if you and I have less contact, we can arouse less suspicion from the staff on both sides." Mei Xiaoren said with heavy eyes, "Actually, I don't care, because Xiangye won't misunderstand, even if he misunderstands, it's easy to explain, but you ...... It's not easy for you to get back what belongs to you. ”

The smile on Ye Zhi's lips deepened, and he said with a negative hand: "My lord, there are far more things that should belong to me, and I will take the rest back one by one, and after the wind and rain subside, I hope that my lord will still be willing to communicate with me without scruples." ”

"You are now the master of the General's Mansion, and when you make war achievements, sooner or later you will attack the lord, don't call me Lord again." Mei Xiaoren sighed again, "As for the wind and rain...... I have stood in the court for all these years, and I understand better than anyone else the truth of both prosperity and loss, if God will really make a choice for today's turmoil, it is difficult for me to be alone. ”

She looked up at the sky, and the moon was shrouded in smoke tonight, and it was not bright. She is rarely pessimistic, and she does not often think about the outcome of this dispute, in fact, she does not need to think that she also knows who wins and who loses corresponds to the different consequences.

The best example of "success and defeat" is her and Gao Jingshu, one enjoys the benefits of high-ranking officials, and the other is trapped in prison and lives rather than death......

"It's getting late, I'll go first, thank you for coming to explain it to me." Mei Xiaoren moved away, walked a few steps, stopped and turned around, and said, "Congratulations, but Lao Ye, I hope you can be like me, holding your own gains and losses in your own hands, instead of being manipulated by others." ”

"I'm measured." Ye Zhi still had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Mei Xiaoren found that she could now touch Chu Yu's thoughts, but she couldn't see through Ye Zhi more and more, such as what he was referring to that belonged to him, or what else was there besides the Zhenguo General's Mansion, the title of the Zhenguo General, and even the titles such as the Duke and Marquis?

Mei Xiaoren slowly walked back to the yamen, and saw that there was more than one sedan chair waiting there, and there was a carriage and many Xuanyi guards next to it.

When her eyes caught his figure, she suddenly smiled as if a wilted grass who had not seen the sun for a long time saw the sun that belonged to her.

It's a day to laugh, it's a day to be scared, so why not enjoy the moment while keeping an eye on the road ahead?

Mei Xiaoren walked behind Gu Chuyu and stopped, deliberately holding back his voice and asking, "This son, are you waiting for this official?" ”

Gu Chuyu turned around, raised his hand and flicked her head, "Where did you go?" ”

"Go...... Go and don't tell you. Mei Xiaoren rubbed his eyebrows, smiled, and walked towards the sedan chair, halfway was grabbed by the wrist and dragged into the spacious carriage next to him.

Behind the wall, Ye Zhi had already blown out the lantern in his hand in order not to attract anyone's attention, but his hand was holding the wooden pole tightly.

This was the first time he had seen with his own eyes how close Mei Xiaoren and Gu Xiang were.

It was difficult for him to be as numb as the entourage around him, because he had never believed in any rumors before, but his eyes did not deceive, how could he believe that the girl who was coquettish to a man would be an adult who he hated and repented but respected to this day......

In the carriage, Mei Xiaoren rested on Gu Chuyu's lap. There should be no deliberate concealment between her and Chu Yu, especially something like she has seen Ye Zhi, if she doesn't explain it now, it will be even more unclear in the future.

"I met Ye Zhi just now, I wrote a letter to him this morning, saying that I was busy with government affairs and couldn't go to his housewarming banquet, Ye Zhi thought I had a misunderstanding about him, so I came to solve my knot."

"Why refuse?"

Mei Xiaoren closed his eyes and said lightly: "If you don't go, it's appropriate for me to go?" ”

"Who told you you weren't going?"

She opened her eyes and looked at Chu Yu, and saw that he was serious, not like a joke, she stretched out her hand to hold his face, and asked solemnly: "Then tell me, what are you calculating?" ”

"I won't tell you."

Mei Xiaoren glanced at him, "Okay, just go, as long as someone's vinegar jar doesn't turn over." ”

He gently pinched her chin, and the corners of his lips raised, "In terms of jealousy, the skill of the original appearance is not as good as one-third of that of Lord Fu Yin, at least the original appearance has never asked anyone to line up." ”

"Gu Chuyu, it's too much!"

The city walls of Shangjing are much higher than those of the local ones, and the soldiers guarding the city walls are also several times more than the local defenders, and they are all well-trained forbidden troops, and the words "impregnable" are displayed everywhere.

On the city tower, countless "Ning" character flags are waved in the wind, and they look very solemn and solemn in the bright sun.

In stark contrast to the flying banners, the soldiers stood like pines, dressed in armor with black scales and silver edges, and looked like people cast in iron, without life of their own, only obedient.

Ye Zhi was wearing armor, and he and the forbidden army all ascended to the city tower.

"Major General, Lord Guogong can let the young general come to the forbidden army on an errand, which is really the luck of the last general." General Gao said with a smile, "General Ye used to be kind to his father, and the last thing my father couldn't let go of before his death was this kindness, and now I finally have the opportunity to repay my father's kindness." ”

Ye Zhi arched his hand, "General Gao's words are serious, General Gao is a lowly boss, how can he claim to be a ......?"

"Eh, compared to General Zhenguo, my little one is not worth mentioning, rather than changing my words later, it is better to get used to it now." General Gao raised his hand to guide Ye Zhi to look at the city, "Young General, please see, the forbidden army has two military camps in the city, namely the south camp and the north camp, both of which are by the city wall. ”

General Gao continued: "In addition to the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, there are also troops from Ding'an Houfu outside the city who are also guarding the capital, but they are stationed between Shangjing and Xinyang, far away from here, and they are not allowed to approach Shangjing without a call, and if they come, they will be killed. General Gao patted the railing of the city wall and sighed, "Now that General Zhu and Wei Taishi have parted ways, they have nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, as long as we don't provoke the Zhu Mansion, they won't take the risk of taking care of the affairs of the capital." ”

"What does General Gao mean that in the land of Gyeonggi today, only the forbidden army is dominant?" Ye Zhi asked.

General Gao shook his head, "Definitely, we still have a threat right now. ”

"What threat?"

General Gao's expression was solemn, and he raised his hand and pointed directly to the east of the city, "Shangjing Prefecture!" ”
