Chapter 54: Recognition
Zhang Yue stood up suddenly,
"What did you say??"
She felt her hanging heart sink in her heart.
"How do you know he's dead? What did you see with your own eyes? β
"Yes, when I found him, he was already dying of being hunted down, and he gave me that safe fish and asked me to hand it over to a person named Zhang Yue."
Zhang Yue felt an abnormal pain in his chest, his eyes turned red instantly, there was no news from Meng Ke all these years, this time there was news suddenly, I thought there would be good news, but I didn't expect to hear his bad news. She felt her eyes itch and numb, and wiped away the tears rolling down with her hand.
The man looked at Zhang Yue's expression quietly from the side from beginning to end, without saying a word.
Zhang Yue forced himself to settle down, and asked in a choked voice, "Who killed him?" β
"What? Do you want to avenge him? β
"Yes, back then, I didn't save him, I've been guilty all these years, and now I still haven't saved him, but I want to know who killed him, I... I want to help him get revenge. β
"His enemies are strong. You can't fight it. β
Zhang Yue pursed her lips and said firmly, "That's my business, you just need to tell me who killed him." β
The man clasped his hands to his chest, looked at Zhang Yue for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing.
Zhang Yue said strangely, "What are you laughing at?" β
The man stopped laughing and said calmly, "You don't have to avenge him, Munch is not dead." β
Zhang Yue's eyes flashed and he asked in surprise, "What did you say?" Is it true? β
After thinking about it again, "You will say that Munch is dead, and then you will say that he is not dead, why should I believe you, who are you?" β
The man stared at Zhang Yue's eyes, and suddenly said very seriously, "Can't you guess who I am until now?" I've already hinted at you today. β
Zhang Yue was puzzled, "How do I know who you are?" β
The man glanced at Zhang Yue and sighed, "What a stupid woman, where was I hiding just now?" β
"In... In the closet, what are you asking this for, you... You.., are you.."
Zhang Yue looked at the man in front of him in surprise, and then shook his head violently, "Impossible, impossible, you can't be Munch?!" β
The man didn't argue, but raised his head slightly, as if to remember, and said, "Do me a favor, you can fire this cigarette bomb in the courtyard towards the southeast of the sky, just pull off the black rope below, and then you can leave here with your uncle, and someone will naturally come to save me." β
Zhang Yue's eyes widened, and he couldn't speak in surprise, and the man continued,
"This peace jade buckle was given to you by your uncle to keep you safe, and it will definitely keep me safe."
Zhang Yue felt that his jaw was about to fall, and stammered, "You, you, are you really Munch?" β
The man's body leaned back slightly, clasped his hands on his chest, and smiled calmly, "Zhang Yue, long time no see." β
β.......β
Zhang Yue felt that her brain was a little insufficient, and she still remembered Munch's injury vividly, but she really couldn't merge with the tall and handsome Tatar in front of her. But the man knew all the things of that year, and indeed the things that only Munch and she knew. Could he really be Munch.
Meng Ke looked at Zhang Yue's appearance of wanting to believe but not believing, shook his head helplessly, bent down slightly, untied the leg strap of his left ankle, rolled up his trouser legs, Zhang Yue looked over curiously, and saw that a half-foot-long winding scar appeared on the calf of his left leg. The location......
Zhang Yue raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashed with tears, and he grabbed Meng Ke's sleeve with both hands, "Meng Ke, it's really you!" β
Meng Ke nodded to Zhang Yue,
"Well, it's me back."
"Munch, back then, when I went back to the inn with my uncle to save you, you were no longer there, and there was blood all over the ground, we all thought you were ...... I've been looking for news from my uncle all these years? But there was no news. How did you get out? Eh, are youβAre you a Tatar? β
Zhang Yue was excited for a while, and said the questions in his heart.
Meng Ke looked at Zhang Yue with deep eyes and said as if he was talking, and after Zhang Yue finished speaking, he asked, "You ask so many questions at once, which question should I answer you first?" β
Zhang Yue touched her hair and said embarrassedly, "I want to know all these questions." β
Munch took a deep breath and said, "I was originally from the Mongolian Tatar tribe, and I was chased and killed by killers on the way home that year, thanks to your rescue, not long after you left the inn, the first flare attracted by the killer of the previous night, just when I thought I was going to die, my guards arrived, killed those killers, and saved me." β
Zhang Yue listened attentively, and secretly marveled in his heart that it was dangerous, thanks to the timely arrival of the rescuers.
"I returned to my hometown under the protection of the guards, inherited the ancestral business, and then I wanted to look for you several times, but unfortunately I only knew that your name and your uncle were a catcher, and there were no other clues. Thinking that the owner of the Fuquan Inn knew your uncle, he sent someone back to the Fulai Inn in Fuquan Town to inquire about your news, but the Fulai Inn had already closed down due to poor management, and the boss was nowhere to be found, so he cut off your clues. β
Zhang Yue nodded again and again, "Munch, over the years, I have always felt guilty for leaving you alone in the inn at that time......"
Munch's eyes quickly flashed with a hint of emotion, "It was my decision to let you leave and release the flare, you don't know anything, I can't blame you." If you stay, you will be implicated by me. β
Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "When I received the letter yesterday and saw the Ping An Yukou, I was very excited, and now I know that you are alive, I am so happy in my heart."
Munch laughed, "Don't you hate me as a Tatar now?" β
Zhang Yue's face was slightly red, and he said embarrassedly, "The few times we met before, I didn't know that you were Munch, and you behaved a little bit unliked, so ......, by the way, when did you recognize me." β
Meng Ke said, "On that day, you and I grabbed that ancient jade buckle, and Gu Li called you Zhang Yue, and I was puzzled." Later, in Yun Dingtian, I tried many times, and I was almost sure of your identity in my heart. Yesterday I wrote a letter, attached to the peace fish buckle to test you. β
Zhang Yue thought for a while and said, "Then you're not afraid, I forgot about you, or I took you as a liar, and didn't go to the appointment today?" β
Meng Ke looked at Zhang Yue with a determined look and said, "You won't, at least the Zhang Yue I know will definitely come." You didn't disappoint me either. β
The corners of Zhang Yue's mouth rose and he laughed, "Hehe, you, you were hiding in the closet just now, which scared me." β
Munch said, "I thought I was hiding in the closet, you can think of me, I was also hiding in the closet back then." β
Zhang Yue was stunned, "This, I didn't think about it so much for a while." β
Meng Ke asked, "Zhang Yue, do you live in the capital now?" Why do women disguise themselves as men to serve in the Qin Heavenly Prison? β
Zhang Yue said, "My hometown used to be in Xingji, Hebei, and I just moved to Beijing this year, as for working as an errand in Qintianjian. Alas, it's a long story, Lord Zhou Hongmo, who manages the Qin Tianjian, is a good friend of my uncle, and I am now helping Lord Zhou make a device in the Qin Tianjian, in order to facilitate the act, I disguised myself as a man and temporarily became the petty official of the Qin Tianjian, but now that the help has been completed, I will soon resign from this official and go home. β
Meng Ke opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask something, Zhang Yue asked first, "By the way, Meng Ke, since you are a Tatar, is it true that Gu Li said that you are a Tatar nobleman?" β
"Uh..., I am now working under the Tatar Khan, who brought me to Beijing this time to congratulate the Ming Emperor on his birthday. Tomorrow I will leave Beijing and return to Tatar. β
Zhang Yue said in surprise, "So fast! Don't you want to stay in the capital for a longer time? We haven't seen each other for so many years, and we've just met again. β
Munch shook his head and said, "Emperor Ming's birthday has passed, and I must rush back to Tartary as soon as possible." That's why I made an appointment to meet you before I left. β
"Oh..."Zhang Yue lowered his head in disappointment, as if he remembered something, took out the Ping An Fish Buckle from his arms and handed it to Meng Ke, "This is for you, since it can keep you safe back then, let it continue to bless you in the future." β
Munch's eyes quickly swept a trace of tenderness, slowly took the Ping An fish buckle, put it into his arms, and took out a thing from his arms and handed it to Zhang Yue, Zhang Yue took it in a daze, and took a closer look, it was a wolf-shaped wood carving, the carving was lifelike, and the wolf's appearance was bigger and more fierce than that of the Central Plains.
Munch said, "This is our Tartar wolf, the wolf is the most sacred existence in the steppe, and it is also the symbol of our family, you usually carry it with you, it will keep you safe." β
Zhang Yue nodded, and carefully held the wolf wood carving in his hand. The two chatted for a while, and there were several rhythmic knocks outside the door.
