The desolate Northland is now silvery white. The howling wind was so cold that it felt like even the bone marrow was frozen.

It was in such a silvery white land that two carriages were slowly moving towards the royal court of Beiqi.

From the outside, the two carriages are as ordinary, but the inside of the carriage is very different: in the carriage that went first, sat the Wang steward, the four Wang family guards, and Na Ye, although all the furnishings were extremely ordinary, but they were not ambiguous in resisting the cold outside the car; In the carriage that followed, Lin Ruo and Murong Chong sat two people, and the furnishings in it were all available, and it seemed that the carriage had just changed its appearance.

And in fact, it is.

The carriage that Lin Ruo and Murong Chong rode in was the carriage that Ji Junyang specially prepared for her to travel on weekdays. The design of the carriage is extremely exquisite, and when it touches the mechanism in the secret compartment of the carriage, the whole carriage is transformed. Of course, there are also many tricks hidden in this carriage to deal with various dangers, and so on.

"The Lin family and the Meng family of Zeguo also have business dealings?"

"Hmm," Lin Ruo replied lightly. She didn't seem to have recovered from the feelings between Murong Chong and the two, although she agreed to go with the flow, but at this moment, there were only the two of them in the closed carriage, and her eyes still didn't dare to look at Murong Chong, and she was a little more restrained when she spoke.

When Murong Chong saw her like this, he didn't say anything, his expression and tone were extremely natural: "The emperor of Zeguo, surnamed Meng." ”

"Well, Brother Meng Jiu is the nephew of Emperor Zeguo, his father is the late King Gong, and Emperor Zeguo is the brother of the same mother. It's just that he has no intention of ruling the government, has no official position, and just inherits his father's throne. ”

Regarding Meng Bin's matter, Murong Chong had also heard about it. This unofficial and unemployed Meng Jiu Gongzi is also an unpredictable person. His father, King Gong, was the younger brother of Emperor Zeguo's mother. King Gong had a strong relationship with Emperor Zeguo during his lifetime, and was one of the most trusted people of Emperor Zeguo, but unfortunately his fate was ill and he died, leaving only Meng Bin an only son, who was raised by his ninth uncle and King Su of Zeguo.

When Meng Jiugong was young, he was the most powerful military general in Zeguo, attacking cities and villages, and he was invincible. Zeguo's most ferocious Xuanjia Army was trained by him. Now this Xuanjia army, only listening to the dispatch of the emperor and Meng Jiugong, is enough to see how much Meng Jiugong has the trust of Emperor Zeguo.

In this generation, Meng Bin is one of the most outstanding juniors in the royal family, and the emperor's favor for him is beyond the reach of even the prince of Zeguo, so he chose to stay away from the court and concentrate on business.

However, what Murong Chong didn't know was that in addition to the Xuanjia Army, Zeguo also had a pervasive secret guard, known as the Black Armor Guard. And this black-armored guard is in the hands of Meng Bin. The seventh brother beside Lin Ruo used to be a member of the Black Armor Guard.

Such a person, Lin Ruo called him "Ninth Brother", which shows that the relationship between the two is close. Murong Chong couldn't help but wonder, how could Lin Ruo, a little girl who had never left Donglu, have a connection with Meng Bin?

Thinking of this, the question naturally came out.

"That was many years ago," Lin Ruo tilted his head and said slowly, "At that time, my sister was no longer there, and I was taken to the Lin Mansion, and my health has not been good. The doctor said that he wanted to find a secluded place to raise well, so my uncle asked Brother Li to send me and Xiao Qi to the Lin family's Zhuangzi in the countryside to recuperate. ”

With the recollection, the image of the past seems to gradually come to mind.

At that time, she didn't like to talk very much, except for teasing Lin Qi, most of the time, she would hold rolls of bamboo slips and books, and it would be several hours at a glance.

In addition, she would let the grass accompany her every day, walk by the stream, force herself to listen to the sound of the water, and overcome her fears. Li Yan couldn't persuade her, so he could only follow her every day, just in case.

This "what if" appeared one day.

It's just that it wasn't Lin Ruo who had this accident, but Meng Bin, who suddenly appeared injured and unconscious by the stream.

Lin Ruo came here to recuperate his body, so the most important thing in Zhuangzi is a doctor.

Meng Bin was taken back to the Lin family's Zhuangzi in this way, and he woke up after a high fever for three days. When he woke up, the first thing he saw was Lin Ruo who was looking at him with a pair of dark eyes.

"At that time, Brother Jiu was carrying a map, but unfortunately, it was soaked in blood and sewage, and the counties and labels on the map were no longer clear."

The importance of the map, there is no need for Lin Ruo to say it in detail, Murong Chong knows it very well.

What kind of person would carry around a map with such detailed markings?

Lin Ruo has been smart since he was a child, and Murong Chong already knows it. Therefore, Lin Ruo must have guessed that Meng Bin's identity was not ordinary at that time.

"So, you drew one for him again?"

If it was before, Murong Chong would never think that a six-year-old girl would have such ability, but if this little girl was Lin Ruo, then it seemed that there was no need.

Lin Ruo nodded: "Well, but there are many place names on it that I am not sure about, because I have never seen them in the scroll, so the annotations are not very detailed." ”

Lin Ruo's so-called is not very detailed, but only for the names of counties and counties on the map. After all, Donglu was an era she didn't know, and judging from the books she had read, it could only be determined that it was after the Tang Dynasty. However, the borders of each country are not much different from those drawn on the maps of later generations. Therefore, on the map she redraws, the border boundaries, searivers, mountains and rivers are incomparably detailed and accurate.

It was because of this that Li Yan discovered that something was wrong with her.

It is also because of this that when Meng Jiugong saw Meng Bin and the new map, he gave Meng Bin two choices: either take this little girl away or kill her. Such a person, if he can't be used by the Meng family, will become an enemy of the Meng family, so he shouldn't stay in this world.

As the lord of Minhui, it is impossible for Lin Ruo to leave Donglu; But if he wanted to kill her, Meng Bin couldn't bear it.

Lin Ruo not only saved his life, but also helped him a lot.

He realized that a six-year-old girl didn't know what it meant.

He felt that it was only because she was kind and unbearable that she had worked hard to help him draw a map that was important to him.

Therefore, he knelt for three days and three nights, begging Meng Jiugong to let Lin Ruo go.

"In this way, you can be regarded as a lifelong friendship." Murong Chong's eyes narrowed, and the inexplicable sourness and unhappiness in his heart began to overflow again.

"Sort of." Lin Ruo retracted his thoughts and said in a calm tone, "Later, Brother Jiu followed Meng Jiugong back, but he left the seventh brother to me and asked him to protect me. After that, Brother Li went to Beiqi, and Brother Jiu also gave up politics and business, and the business of the Lin family and the Meng family really began. ”

"Then this time ......"

"Brother Li has secretly sent a message and informed Meng Jiugong and Brother Jiu of the whole thing. What is beneficial to Yu Zeguo, Meng Jiugong will not refuse. ”

"Are you in danger? What if Meng Jiugong turned against the water and got rid of you with the help of Midu? ”
