Chapter 19: The Past Is Like Smoke

"What did you say?" Meng Zhi was taken aback, and almost couldn't help jumping up, "His Royal Highness King Qi has a child?!" ”

"You don't even know?" Mei Changsu was a little surprised, "Jing Yan is really secretive. But it's no wonder that if a hint of wind is revealed to the ears of the crown prince or the king of honor, Tingsheng will die......"

"Is this news true?" Meng Zhi showed an expression of disbelief, "The men of the Qi Wangfu are all dead, all the female dependents are confiscated into the secluded court, and the person with a little reputation is forced to die in less than a year, how can there be an orphan who will live for the rest of his life?" ”

Mei Changsu's eyes were deep, and he pondered for a moment and said, "I can't guess this joint. However, the princess's sister-in-law is smart and decisive, and Xiutong's sister is brave and unparalleled, they are all heroic women who do not let their eyebrows be saved, and the situation was chaotic at that time, and they desperately saved a little of Jingyu's brother's blood hidden in the hidden court, which is not impossible. Looking at Jing Yan's concern about Tingsheng, he should have confirmed the identity of the child, and he would not be wrong. ”

"What about looks? Long like King Qi? ”

"This child has been tortured since he was a child, his face is yellow and thin, and he can't see it well. However, sometimes the eyebrows and eyes will still bring out some shadows of Brother Jingyu's back then. ”

"Since King Jing knows that it is King Qi's orphan, why don't you take more care of it and let that child suffer like this!" Meng Zhi couldn't help but complain.

"There's no way around it. Taking too much care of a small palace slave for no reason will inevitably arouse suspicion. If the identity of Tingsheng is accidentally revealed, how can the prince and King Yu let it go? ”

"But you can't just let this kid stay in a place like the Hidden Garden, can you?" Meng Zhi stood up excitedly and strode around the room, Feiliu sat up from the bed, staring at him with cold eyes alert.

"Fly to sleep." Mei Changsu turned his head and coaxed, and said to Meng Zhi again, "Brother Meng, you sit down first." You're in a hurry, aren't Jing Yan and me in a hurry? Tingsheng must be saved, but he must be rescued unscathed in a foolproof way. ”

"Do you already have a plan?" Meng Zhi asked anxiously.

"I thought about it roughly, but I still have to work on the details. This matter cannot be rushed, and it cannot be reached if you want to hurry. Mei Changsu glanced at Meng Zhi and raised his eyebrows, "Brother Meng is now the top master of Daliang, and he has the heavy responsibility of being a guard. I often hear people praise you for your calmness and seriousness, and your heart is as strong as iron, why are you so unstable today? ”

Meng Zhi scratched his head and sighed, "I don't know why, on other occasions, it is not difficult for me to collapse without changing my color, but now when I talk to you, it seems that I have returned to the recklessness and recklessness of my youth...... Do you remember the battle of Hulu Valley? If it weren't for the three handwritten golden orders of His Royal Highness King Qi to strangle the reins of my horse, I am afraid that I would have fallen into the enemy's trap long ago. If the gourd valley is lost, Lord Lingzun will definitely pull my head off and kick it hard. ”

"My father really couldn't believe you at the time, but later he also said that if he was not as good as King Qi in terms of knowing people, King Qi could pick out a single one of the thousands of soldiers who was not the winner through a martial arts exercise, and he couldn......'t do it with this vision."

"But when it comes to the subtlety of the use of soldiers, who can compare to Ling Zun? Wherever the Red Flame Army went back then, what kind of Iron Army didn't tremble? Talking about the old things, Meng Zhi only felt that the pride that had been silent for many years was surging, and he only hated that there was no wine in front of him, so he could only pick up the tea bowl and take a big sip, and said with emotion: "I hate that I was forcibly transferred out of the Red Flame Army not long after, if I can sharpen myself under King Qi and Ling Zun for a few more years, I am afraid that the current Jinyi will be more than that." ”

Mei Changsu sighed faintly: "If you don't transfer out of the Red Flame Army, not to mention the catastrophe twelve years ago, you can't dodge, just with your identity as the old Red Flame Department, the position of the commander of the forbidden army will not be yours." ”

At his mention, Meng Zhi immediately thought of something else, and couldn't help but clench his teeth, and said hatefully: "That's not true. Isn't there now an old department of Chiyan in the middle of the court who is extremely favored, and his whole body is covered with the halo of 'pillar stone of the court'? ”

Mei Changsu's hand on the table trembled, and then stabilized again, and his fingertips pressed the red lacquered tabletop, as if he wanted to press out a few marks.

"It's really uncomfortable to die of being humble and wrongful to him all these years, maintaining a superficial friendship." Meng Zhi exhaled a long breath, as if he wanted to vent the depression in his heart, "And you, why do you want to live here?" ”

"For safety." Mei Changsu said lightly.

"What? Is it safe here? ”

"At least it saves a lot of trouble." Mei Changsu's voice was like ice, chilling to the bone, "Using those three young people to enter Beijing, you can quickly get in touch with the dignitaries in the center of the imperial court." This is much better than accepting the call of the crown prince or the king of Yu to become a staff member and come to Jinling with his hands and feet tied. ”

Meng Zhi thought about it and nodded approvingly, but looking at Mei Changsu's tense face, he instinctively avoided continuing to delve into the topic, and instead asked another thing: "What do you think of the Nihuang County Lord's recruitment this time?" ”

"Yunnan Mufu is the southern barrier of the country, and the county lord has worked hard for the country for many years to delay her youth, I just hope that she can find someone who can really love her this time, and nothing else matters."

"Did you know that both the crown prince and the king of honor have sent capable men to participate in the competition, and if one of them succeeds, your affairs will be much more difficult."

"The county lord is far wiser than me, but I don't need to worry about it. It's just that Da Yu and Bei Yan know that it will be difficult to succeed and still come to ask for relatives, so they must have a backhand, so you have to pay more attention. ”

"Hmm!"

"It's not early, and you should go back. Once the plan to save the court is mature, I will ask you to help you complete it. Wei Zheng, on his side, also wants to trouble you to keep an eye on them out of the city, and never come back. ”

Meng Zhi stood up as promised, just took a step out, and reluctantly stopped, turned his head to stare at Mei Changsu, with no pity in his eyes, but he knew in his heart that what he could do was really limited, and he couldn't suppress the sadness in his chest, and he stretched out his arm without thinking about it, and hugged him heavily.

The bed tent moved slightly, and the flying stream shot out like lightning, standing up as a blade, cutting straight towards Meng Zhi's throat, and after he retreated to avoid it, he immediately turned around and flipped up, and attacked a few more ruthless moves like a bead.

"Flystream!" Mei Changsu hurriedly pulled him back, "Uncle is saying goodbye to me, not bullying me, Feiliu is not angry......"

"Flying Stream is not allowed!" The young man's cold face radiated anger.

"Okay, okay, not in the future." Mei Changsu smiled apologetically at Meng Zhi, "I'm sorry Brother Meng, my family Feiliu has always been like this." ”

"It's okay, I'm glad that this kid defends you so much." Meng Zhi smiled kindly at Chaofei, "You have to protect him well." ”

Feiliu ignored him, still firmly guarding his brother Su, not moving a single step.

"Then I'll go first," Meng Zhi glanced at Mei Changsu deeply again, and said in a low voice, "Xiaoshu, you have to take care of your body, don't let anything happen, you know?" ”

Mei Changsu's eyes were hot, and he hurriedly endured it, and nodded wordlessly.

Feiliu glared at Meng Zhi, although he still had no expression, but it was obvious from his eyes that he was impatient, and when Meng Zhi jumped over the windowsill and disappeared, he immediately went to close the window tightly.

"What? We Feiliu don't like uncle? Mei Changsu teased him softly.

"I don't like it!"

"Why?"

"Feiliu can't beat it!"

"It's okay," Mei Changsu rubbed his hair, "We're still young, and when you grow to your uncle's age, you'll definitely be able to beat it." ”

Feiliu's face remained unchanged, but his eyes immediately showed joy. Mei Changsu took his hand, personally sent him to the bed to lie down, covered him with a quilt, and hummed a soft ballad softly until he closed his eyes quietly, then quietly left and went to bed by himself.
