I immediately followed: "What's wrong?" Is my mother in danger? ”

Meng Wu ignored me, walked a few steps, and then hesitated to stop, and said in pieces: "But if those two make up their minds, even if I go, it's useless?" I can't quarrel anymore, I can't beat ......"

"Fifth uncle, what are you talking about? Is my mother in danger? Where is she now? "Seeing his chattering appearance, I was a little anxious.

Meng Wu suddenly turned his head to stare at me, his eyes lit up, and said, "But with you, I will have a little backer, so I have a better chance of winning - Yanzi, go with the fifth uncle, if someone bullies me, you have to stand on my side." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Yamen courtyard!" Meng Wu pulled me forward.

Yamen courtyard?

But—

But Master Huang has explained, let's stay away from Shangguan Bo, Meng Wu will pull me there, isn't this hitting the knife edge?

Meng Wu walked very fast, his expression was solemn, and I almost always ran in small steps, and I also followed with a dignified face-

Isn't my mother safe now? Qin Zheng's relationship with my mother, as well as his protection of us, even if Master Shangguan wants to be held accountable, he will protect my mother, won't he?

When I arrived on the road on the edge of Xihua Plain, Meng Wu suddenly lowered his speed, I thought he wanted me to take a breath and rest, but judging from his cautious face, the reason was not so.

He turned his head and looked around, the boundary of Xihua Yuan was deserted for dozens of miles, there were no trees or branches, except for the bleak hut in the plain, there was no place to hide people.

After choosing such a safe place, he had something to say to me, and this could not be said in a town full of houses and alleys, nor in the courtyard of the yamen, so he could only ask here.

Meng Wu's breath is steady, his face is not red, his heart is not running, but I am already like I have only half a life left, panting to death.

"Yanzi, you can catch your breath first, I have something to ask you, it's very important, I'll only ask once, so I'll ask again when you get out of breath, and answer me when you think clearly." Meng Wu held me tightly and whispered to me.

I tried to calm down, but Meng Wuze waited patiently.

When I was not so tired, I nodded cautiously.

"Can you hear it clearly and think seriously?" Meng Wu asked.

I nodded and said, "Well, what does the fifth uncle want to ask?" ”

What exactly is to ask? How to be so cautious?

Meng Wudao: "Have you ever seen one of your mother's beads, half an inch round, maybe a little smaller, colorless ring fog, such as smoke?" ”

I frowned, I didn't expect Meng Wu to ask me about beads? And it's still such a strange bead?

How can there be a bead that can make smoke around the fog?

Meng Wuda's eyes stared at me meticulously, and he said word by word: "Don't ask more, don't repeat my description, you think about it carefully, think carefully, and then answer me." ”

I replied quickly and firmly, "Not yet." ”

Meng Wu's expression was complicated, as if he was relieved, but also a little lost: "So sure? She doesn't necessarily wear it with her, maybe in some box or bag or something, I really haven't seen it? He didn't give up and continued to lead.

I don't really need to think about it, because if I've ever seen such a special bead, I'll definitely remember it.

I said truthfully: "Over the years, I have seen my mother only a handful of times, and the number of times I entered her room is not more than ten times, she usually does not wear hairpins, occasionally only a beaded hairpin, on its size and color is definitely not the fifth uncle to ask, if there are other beads she did not take out, I don't know." But as the fifth uncle said, if there is really such a special bead, I will definitely have an impression if I have seen it. ”

Meng Wu nodded and said, "En, I know." I asked you this bead, you must never mention it to others, not the most trusted people, Han Sanxiao and Song Lingjian can't, you know? ”

I looked at him inexplicably.

Meng Wu emphasized: "This bead is related to your mother's safety, you must not let others know that it exists, even if it is not in your mother's hands, you can't mention it to anyone, anyone-who-person, remember?" ”

Meng Wu's expression at this time can be described as fierce, I haven't seen him with such an expression after knowing him for so long, I can't help but feel a little creepy, and I nodded tremblingly.

The next thing was that there was nothing to say all the way, Meng Wu didn't walk as fast as just now, but I was still very tired from following, and I remembered that I hadn't eaten much early in the morning.

Hey, thinking of breakfast, I'm annoyed again, I finally came back from Li Xue today, and I came here again when I didn't have a door, what happened to Yan Cuo?

Otherwise—otherwise, I'll be late for a while, and I'll wake up when I'm back—

Am I being selfish to think so? Xia Xia must be in a hurry, I can imagine her looking at Yan Cuo while probing and waiting for me to come back.

When I arrived at the Yamen compound, the people guarding the door were no longer Chen Bing or Zhu Jing, two faces I didn't recognize, looking very serious, bowing to Meng Wu, and then glaring at me fiercely.

I timidly retreated behind Meng Wu and looked at the unfamiliar Yamen courtyard.

How do you feel that this yamen courtyard is so quiet that it won't even blow the wind, like Zhang quietly opening his bloody mouth waiting for the prey to throw himself into the net.

Meng Wugang was about to take me in, and a few people came out of it, and the leader I recognized was Zong Bai, he looked very haggard, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time, his scumbag was sloppy, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Also, if Master Shangguan comes back, then Zong Bai, who brought news back to the imperial capital, should also come back together, but it must be very troublesome to rush back and forth like this, no wonder he is so haggard.

Since Zhu Jing told me about Zong Bai's identity, I can't help but have a different kind of feelings for him, like he suddenly got a lot closer, he used to be my father's brother from birth to death, and that kind of brotherhood is far deeper than that of Xiang Zhou and Zhu Jing.

But who knew that after all these years, it was a stranger to the people, no wonder when he sent me back to the embroidery institute that day, he would say, if it wasn't for the creation of people, he might be lucky enough to hug me in swaddling clothes......

In this way, he also has feelings for us, not full of hatred for us like Xiang Zhou.

They stopped at the door, seemingly surprised at how I could be here early in the morning.

"Why is the girl of the Yan family here?" Aunt Rong, who was following him, asked strangely.

I saw that there was also Fluffy and many servants following out, and the battle with the load box was quite large, and I didn't know where to go.

"Zong-Uncle Zong, Aunt Rong, where are you going?" Although I was a little nervous, I said hello anyway.

Zong Bai glanced at me, approached Meng Wu with a displeased expression, but he was holding back his temper and said politely: "Lord Hou brought the young lady to the courtyard at this time, it seems that he is not worried, right?" ”

Meng Wu rolled his eyes and said: "It was I who brought her here after repeated consideration, the two people surnamed Qin and the Shangguan family coaxed the old mother here, and the baby of the family is not allowed to come to find the mother?" ”

Old mother? My mother?

Zong Bai was a little surprised, and glared: "Madame is here?!" ”

Meng Wuxiang guessed something again, raised his eyebrows and said, "Look, they still want to send you away at this time, do you think they have another purpose?" ”

Zong Bai tightened his eyebrows and turned his head to look at the courtyard uncertainly, as if he was hesitating to leave.

Meng Wuqi was playful at this time, looking at the servants with the cargo boxes and said curiously: "Anyway, what are you guys playing with?" Shangguan Bo won't sweep your family out of the house in a fit of rage, right? It's okay, the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't want you, it's the same when you come to my Wuwang Houfu, I'm not as stingy as Shangguan Bo, I'll give you twice as much moonsilver. ”

At this time, a sneer suddenly sounded in the courtyard, elegant as a string, but it seemed to stab Meng Wu's heart, and he immediately glared at the courtyard with a fierce look.

"What are you laughing at secretly?!" Meng Wu shouted.

"The bereaved dogs all know some loyal rituals, no matter how poor the people are, they are also the descendants of the sect for many years, and there is really no tiger and monkey in the mountains to claim the king." The people in the courtyard were not in a hurry, but their words were full of spikes, isn't this sarcastic Zong Bai's abandonment of Yan to the Prime Minister's Mansion is not as good as a lost dog?

Is Qin talking inside? Such a nice sound, even if it is full of barbs, it is very pleasant.

Meng Wu bounced up at once: "Say who is the monkey you!" ”

"When the Yan clan died, you didn't even dare to incorporate a Yan clansman who shrank your head and brain, what kind of Yihai pride are you pretending to be here? Saying that you are a monkey gives you back your face, the turtle king eight is more suitable. Qin Zheng did not show up, and was still sarcastic in the courtyard.

Meng Wu's face turned green with anger, and he stomped his feet and said, "Say that I shrank my head and brain, but you are telling me where you went when our swallows were suffering?" The pot calling the kettle black! ”

Zong Bai should have a task in his body, and he didn't want to listen to the quarrel between these two children, who might not be ten years old together, so he gestured to the servants with rigid faces, and the group quietly went to the east.

"My fifty steps are indeed more than enough for yours to take a hundred steps." Qin Zheng continued the battle situation.

Unexpectedly, this sentence really provoked Meng Wu, he jumped into the courtyard and shouted: "My legs are short, no matter how short they are, they are not as good as you!" ”

"If you're going to die, you'd better go back to that sentence just now!" Qin Zheng's elegant voice suddenly became extremely fierce!

Hehe, it seems that they are all people with weaknesses.

"If you want my life, you're going to try?!" Meng Wu said sharply.

This tone is confrontational, as if it is real!

I quickly followed the courtyard, only to see that Qin Zheng in the courtyard was dressed in black, reaching out to support his hair, as if he was going to pull the hairpin on his head, his face was as handsome as a plum, whether it was picking flowers or killing, it seemed to have an innate poetic feeling.

And Meng Wuwei stood on tiptoe, as if he was ready to dodge something.

At this time, I actually wanted to laugh, if it wasn't for Meng Wu not confessing just now, I really didn't find out that he had short legs, Qin Zheng must have deliberately provoked him.

"Fifth uncle, what are you doing here?"

These two people, shouldn't they be like children who want to fight if they disagree?

Meng Wu pulled me behind him and said seriously: "Yanzi, do you want me to win or do you want your cheap uncle to win?" ”

I was stunned and glanced at Qin Zheng, who was also staring at me, as if he wanted to know my answer.

I said helplessly, "What are you talking about?" Okay, why do you want to win or lose - didn't you say that you brought me to my mother? What about my mother? ”

Meng Wudao: "Why are you bringing your fourth sister-in-law here?" What do you want to make a bad deal or do you want to be shameless? ”

Qin Zheng pressed his eyebrows, and the hairpin in his hand was already half off his hair!

Meng Wu seemed to sense something and pushed me back.
