Faced with King Jing's questioning, Mei Changsu did not answer directly, and turned his gaze slightly to the imperial tent on the east side: "Didn't Your Highness go over to ask for peace?" ”

"How long can my father take a nap?"

"Then why doesn't Your Highness come in?"

"Mother obviously wants to take me away, so why should I go in so quickly to annoy her

"But Your Highness, you ...... Or would love to know what we're talking about? "Of course." Xiao Jingyan was a little overwhelmed by his casual attitude, "Mother hasn't had such a gaffe for many years, I have to know the reason." ”

"Then why didn't Your Highness eavesdrop at the tent? Neither Niang Niang nor I are masters, if you are careful, we will not be able to show up. ”

King Jing glared at him, a thin layer of anger flashed across his face, "I don't never do such things, but I won't do it to my mother," Since His Royal Highness didn't come to eavesdrop just now, why do you need to interrogate me now? Mei Changsu said coldly: "There is not much difference between the two, right?" If Your Highness really wants to know the content of our conversation, it is best to ask Concubine Jing Niangniang to ask me, it is not good after all. ”

King Jing was speechless for a while, his eyes wandering, and he hesitated.

"Actually......" Mei Changsu slowed down his tone and said slowly, "In Su's humble opinion, His Royal Highness only needs to know that Concubine Jing is a good mother, and she will be wholeheartedly good for you, so why pursue it too deeply?" Everyone has their own part that they don't want to know, and not asking is also a kind of filial piety, if you really can't help it, then ask in person. In short, I will not say anything, please forgive your Highness. ”

King Jing walked back and forth several times in great strides. He stopped again: "Mother won't let you say it?" ”

The mother didn't tell me that. But she supports you out, which naturally means that she doesn't want you to know. ”

"Don't want me to know, so why can you know?"

Mei Changsu slumped his shoulders helplessly. "It seems that His Royal Highness really can't help but ask Niangniang. I'll go back first. After saying that, he arched his hand. It's really Shi Shiran who left.

King Jing was angry for a while, but it was about his mother, and he had no way to hesitate for a while, so he was not at ease or opened the curtain again to enter the tent.

Concubine Jing is cleaning her face with wet wipes. There were no other signs of messiness on his face except for the slightly red and swollen eyelids. Seeing her son come in, she put down her handkerchief and said with a light smile: "You are back, Mr. Su has not waited for you to say goodbye and leave." ”

"The child knows. We...... I met ...... outside," Xiao Jingyan came over and helped her mother sit down on the chair, pulled a cushion by herself, and leaned on her lap. Raising his head, he asked slowly, "Mother." Do you really have nothing to say to your child? ”

Concubine Jing placed a hand on her son's head. Rub it gently. sighed: "Jing Yan, can you not ask?" ”

"But it's been a long time since I've seen my mother grieve so much, maybe I can do something about it......"

"I understand your filial piety," Concubine Jing showed him a sad smile, her voice was still so gentle and kind, "But Jingyan's mother also has a mother's land, and many things were born before you were born, but they actually have little to do with you, so why do you have to ask?" ”

"Before I was born?" King Jing was stunned. It is indeed difficult for every son who admires his mother to think that she also had a past before he was born.

"I'm so sad because it's been so long ago that I've forgotten and have no defense, so when I think about it suddenly, I feel so uncontrollable," Concubine Jing muttered, but the meaning was very vague, "In fact, it has nothing to do with Mr. Su, it's just those memories...... He hooked him up...... He is a very thoughtful and considerate person, although I did not ask him not to say anything, but he will definitely not say anything, so you don't press him, and when his mother thinks she wants to explain it to you, she will naturally say it. ”

Concubine Jing and Mei Changsu, who had not been discussed, tacitly adopted the same method, and the scene just now has been turned into Concubine Jing's secret, not Mei Changsu's secret, but King Jing did not show this. Out of concern and love for his mother, even if he was full of doubts, he had to force it down, and he couldn't continue to ask.

Although he was not convinced in his heart at the moment, he had turned around countless times, guessing all the possibilities, but in the end he had to lower his head and whispered: "Then please take care of your mother, the child has retired." ”

Concubine Jing was silent, and did not hold back, waiting for her son to withdraw from the tent, she took out a box of ointment from her sleeve and carefully wiped it on her eyes in the mirror, but she couldn't help but cry when she wiped it.

This meeting ended in such a hurry, there were no waves, no accidents, but the consequences seemed a little weird, at least that's what Lie Zhanying, the Zhonglang general of Jingwangfu, felt. The two went out together, and each came back one after the other, as if nothing had happened, and the other frowned and pondered. Said that they were out of harmony, they still greeted each other every day, said everything was as usual, but suddenly became estranged, and they didn't sit together for a long time to eat and talk, but it was the king of Huai, who only loved to read, and recently because he came to borrow books frequently, he had a closer relationship with Mei Changsudi.

This strange situation lasted for seven or eight days, and was finally broken by an unexpected visitor.

"According to the guard's report, the man said that he was looking for Mr. Su, and he should have been expelled from him, and it happened that a guard captain next to me was passing by, and he knew that I had always saluted Mr. Su, so he ordered someone to take him into custody first, and came over to inform me." Meng Zhi sat in King Jing's main tent, wearing soft armor all over his body, obviously squeezing time to run over, "But that person refuses to say his name, is his surname, Mr. Su, want to see?" ”

Mei Changsu pondered for a while and said, "If it's not troublesome, it's better to meet." ”

"Then I'll have someone bring him." Meng Zhi walked to the tent and gave an order, then returned to his original position and sat down to look at the two people opposite, "What's wrong with Your Highness and Mr. Su?" ”

"Huh?" The two of them looked up at the same time, "What's wrong?" ”

"Is there something wrong with Mr. Su...... Angered His Highness? ”

"No," King Jing said quickly, "other things have nothing to do with Mr. Su." ”

"Oh......" Meng Zhi actually wanted to know what the result of seeing Concubine Jing was. But Mei Changsu refused to say anything, and he didn't dare to ask, but he looked at King Jing's appearance. It's not clear if it's been fooled again.

After about a cup of tea, two Praetorian guards escorted a man in ragged clothes in. He bowed to the tent and withdrew. The man knelt on the ground and took two steps towards Mei Changsu, and shouted in a hoarse and choked voice: "Sect Master......"

Mei Changsu was slightly shocked. Before he could reach out and pull his head, Meng Zhi had already rushed forward, lifted the man's chin upwards and scattered the sides, and then fell backwards, revealing a bruised and dirty face that could barely be distinguished.

"Tong Lu?" The eyes of the sect master of the Jiang Zuo League jumped: "Why did you come here?" ”

"Sect Master!" Tong Lu fell to the ground and cried, almost unable to cry, "Belong, subordinates, right...... I'm sorry you ......"

Mei Changsu stared at him. After a while, he took a glass of water and put it in front of him, and said in a steady tone: "You drink some water first and be quiet." ”

Tong Lu wiped his face. Grabbed the water cup and drank it all, and then took a breath. Said: "Thank you, Sect Master." ”

"Tong Lu. Mr. Thirteen said that you betrayed you, do you admit it? Mei Changsu asked quietly.

Tong Lu sobbed. Lying on the ground and silent.

"Why do you have to come when you have confessed to the charge of treason? Isn't it nice to be under the protection of King Yu's wings? ”

"Sect Master...... The subordinates did something wrong, but the subordinates were by no means willing to betray the alliance, "Tong Lu gritted his teeth and turned pale", and he recruited Miaoyinfang because...... Because ......"

"I know that Mr. Thirteen has already checked because of a woman named Jun Niang, right?" Yes......" Tong Lu lowered his head, and a look of shame welled up on his face, "I can give up my life, but I can't give up Jun Niang's life, so ...... So ......"

"Don't say it, I understand." Mei Changsu said lightly: "You really didn't recruit everything you know, so we also guess that you were forced to betray the alliance and not voluntarily." But a traitor is a traitor, and there is nothing to say. Mr. Thirteen has carefully investigated your whereabouts, but he can't find you, how did you get out on your own? ”

Tong Lu touched the ground with his forehead, and his originally white face turned red again, and he said in a low voice: "At first, they threatened me with Jun Niang, but later they imprisoned me to threaten Jun Niang. Someday...... Jun Niang secretly came to find me, and I learned that Jun Niang was sent by them...... Send ......"

"Jun Niang is Qin Panruo's senior sister, which was also found out later." "Jun Niang lied to me like this, I shouldn't have believed her anymore, but she said...... She also wants to cut off the past and live a free life in the countryside with me...... Sect Master, she also has her helplessness, she is different from Qin Panruo......"

"I don't want to comment on Jun Niang, why did you come to see me?"

"Three days ago, Jun Niang escaped with me, but as soon as I got out of the city, the people caught up with us, and finally although I escaped desperately, Jun Niang was also seriously injured, and that night...... She's ...... He swallowed his breath and ...... Tong Lu's lips trembled violently, and his eyes were bright red like blood, but there were no tears, "We were just going to find a mountain village to live quietly............ Sect Master Jun Niang, she is really different from Qin Panruo, she really ......"

Mei Changsu couldn't help but show a trace of pity in his eyes, but he immediately suppressed this emotion, and his voice was still calm: "Chase and kill, chase and kill, why did you say kill just now?" Do you know any secrets? That's why you came to me, right? ”

"Yes," Tong Lu bit his lip fiercely, as if he wanted to make himself more painful and sober, "King Yu wants to rebel against ......"

As soon as these words came out, not only Meng Zhi, but even Xiao Jingyan jumped up: "Impossible, how many people are in the hands of King Yu?" Why did he rebel? ”

"I ...... I don't know much......" Tong Lu said while thinking, "I heard Jun Niang say that as soon as the holy driver left the city, King Yu went to the heavenly prison to visit Xia Jiang secretly, and they didn't know what they planned, but it is certain that King Yu has already found a way to control the forbidden army left in the capital......"

"What?" Meng Zhi's face changed greatly: "There are nearly 7,000 left-behind forbidden troops, how can they be so easily controlled?" ”

"It is said that the two deputy commanders who commanded the remaining forbidden army have been loyal to King Yu." Facing King Jing's inquiring gaze, Meng Zhi was a little embarrassed: "These two deputy commanders are not the people I brought out, and the internal prison was transferred after the murder case, and I really can't grasp it, but ...... I believe that they will not listen to my orders to rebel. ”

"Tong Lu just said that they were controlled, not fully mastered." Mei Changsu shook his head and said, "The forbidden army is well-trained and has always obeyed orders. Now that the capital is respected by the queen's edict, if they are separated from each other, the weapons are collected in batches, and then they are concentrated in one place to take care of them, it can be done. After all, there has been no fight outside, although the forbidden army can't understand Shangfeng's order, but it won't forcibly resist for no reason. ”

"Even if the forbidden army is abolished, King Yu only has two thousand soldiers, what can he do? At most, it may not be able to fight with the patrol battalion......"

"Not only ......," Tong Lu said hurriedly, "Jun Niang learned from her uncle that King Yu has strong help in Jingxi...... What is Xu ...... called? Xu ......"

"Xu Anmo!" King Jing's eyebrows jumped, and the hand on the table clenched into a fist.
