Chapter 50: The Problem
Today's update is earlier, right? Hehe, it's not because I woke up early, but because I haven't slept yet......
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^This is the dividing line of morning and dusk upside down ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A simple sentence, just because it came out of Mei Changsu's mouth, seemed to be surging with wind and thunder, and no one could easily doubt it. King Jing stared at the elegant and plain scholar in front of him, thinking of the waves that had been set off openly and secretly since he entered Beijing, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It's just that I don't know how this talented Jiang Zuo Meilang could choose himself so firmly? Is it really just like what he said, to support an unfavored prince that can get more reliance and higher status?
"How special is Your Highness's military affairs today?" As if he didn't know what he was thinking, Mei Changsu put his hand in his sleeve and asked idly, "It's not too early when I came, but I see that you guys are still not finished." ”
"Routine affairs are handled quickly, and today's delay is because something tricky happened, and the tall man of Jingzhao Yin Mansion came to me for help."
"Tricky again? This tall man's luck this year is really good," Mei Changsu couldn't help but laugh, "But it's not the trouble I gave him this time." What is it? ”
"It's not a brainstorm, it's just brute force." King Jing said, "A monster recently appeared in the eastern suburbs of the mountainous area, disturbing the mountain people, and reported the case to Jingzhao Yin Mansion. It's not that hard, but we'd like to discuss how we can set up an ambush and capture this monster alive to see what it is. ”
"Even if it's a suburb, after all, it's also the imperial capital city, how can there be monsters? It's a miracle, and after Your Highness catches it, don't forget to open my eyes. ”
King Jing raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect Mr. Su to be a curious ......."
"Could it be that in the eyes of His Highness, Su is only full of gloomy and bad water?" Mei Changsu joked self-deprecatingly, because he felt that his feet were stiff, so he got up and paced a few steps, walked to the west window, and wanted to touch the vermilion iron bow hanging on the wall next to the window.
"Don't move!" King Jing immediately shouted, Mei Changsu stopped in shock, groaned slightly, slowly put his arm down, did not look back, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry." ”
King Jing also felt a little rude, and explained: "It is a relic of a friend, he was ...... when he was alive I don't really like strangers touching his things......"
Mei Changsu nodded indifferently, did not comment, stood in front of the window and came to his senses, without saying anything, and said very abruptly that he was leaving.
King Jing only thought that he was annoyed because he didn't allow him to touch the iron bow, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. But if you want to apologize, it's impossible, not to mention Lin Shu's iron bow, it really can't be touched casually, and at the moment, you can only think that you don't know, get up and send it off.
The two walked out of the study side by side, the atmosphere was a little subtlely awkward, Mei Changsu didn't seem to want to speak, and King Jing was not good at casually playing haha, so he walked silently to the side of the martial arts arena, and the two stopped together.
In fact, there is a proper main road leading to the gate, which is on the other side. But the reason why the two of them chose to come here in the opposite direction together was because they both guessed that Feiliu must be here.
King Jing is a military man, his palace is different from other princes' palaces, the inner courtyard is far away, and it is also very small, but the front yard occupies a huge area, in addition to several martial arts arenas for infantry, there are also horse farms for practicing horsemanship.
At this moment, the situation in the central martial arts field can be described as "lively". Although Feiliu is just a guard, his reputation in Jinling City is not only not inferior to Mei Changsu, but even for some generals, the weak and thin scholar can't attract too much attention from them, but Feiliu, who is a master of strange martial arts, is even more curious.
Therefore, the Tingsheng who was originally responsible for entertaining Feiliu had already been squeezed to the periphery, and the people who challenged Feiliu one by one in a circle were all the generals under King Jing.
From Feiliu's expressionless, but sparkling eyes, it can be seen that the boy is having quite a good time today. Because when he was in Jiang Zuomeng, everyone was busy every day, and it was rare that there would be so many people to accompany him to practice martial arts, not to mention that the martial arts of these sparring practitioners were not bad, and they were all very serious, and no one had the intention of teasing him.
Seeing King Jing coming, the sharp-eyed people had already dodged a way and bowed down one after another. King Jing saw that Mei Changsu didn't say anything else, so he waved his hand and said, "You continue." ”
At this time, it was the turn of the opportunity to fight with Feiliu, it was a pair of twin brothers who made the spear, only twenty-five or sixteen years old, looking at the color of the uniform, it should be the grade of a captain, they were all born tall and strong, a spear danced vigorously, and the cooperation was also very tacit, if it was placed on the battlefield to kill the enemy, of course, it was a good hand, but unfortunately in the face of martial arts masters, the foundation of this foot combat was not enough, and Feiliu was not a person who would be merciful to his subordinates, and as soon as he came up, he threw the two brothers left and right to the sidelines, and his face was tense a little at the same time. Probably because I think the opponent in this round is too weak and not fun.
"Don't end up like this, let Your Highness watch something exciting!" With this rough sound, a burly but not bulky figure appeared in front of Feiliu, holding a long-handled scimitar, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a majestic look.
"General Qi! General Qi! The crowd around him immediately became agitated.
Qi Meng, the fourth-grade staff general, is a confidant and favorite general who has followed King Jing for many years, and he is also very popular in the army, as soon as he appeared, the atmosphere was naturally more enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that even Feiliu felt that this person should not be an ordinary person, so there was a hint of joy between his eyebrows.
In the midst of a group of cheers, King Jing stood with his hands firmly in his hands, his expression was very cold.
Because he knew that Qi Meng could not be Feiliu's opponent at all.
Sure enough, at first, Feiliu was very interested in the strangely shaped scimitar, so he let go of a few tricks, and after seeing it clearly, the palm wind suddenly turned fierce, Rao is Qi Meng's skills are profound, and he is born with divine power, and he can't resist it at all, even a few steps back, dragging the back of the knife, the back of the knife suddenly shocked, and a knife flew out of the knife, as fast as a meteor, and unexpectedly rushed straight to the door of Feiliumian to go. This move is Qi Meng's killer weapon, and he has repeatedly defeated strong enemies and helped him make a lot of achievements. However, for Feiliu, this level of attack was not enough to surprise him, and with a flick of his hand, he blocked the throwing knife and pinned it to a tree. Qi Meng frowned and shouted, "Out!" The back of the knife shook, and another bright light flashed.
Mei Changsu's complexion did not change, but his black and angry pupils had contracted violently in an instant.
Because this time, the throwing knife was actually coming straight at his throat.
If it was Lin Shu in the past, such a flying knife would naturally not be taken seriously, but now that the whole body strength has been wasted, I am afraid that an ordinary strong man will not be able to beat it, and it is absolutely impossible to avoid this snow-like blade.
Since he couldn't dodge, why did he need to hide, so Mei Changsu stood in place and didn't move.
Feiliu's figure had also turned into a knife at this time, and he chased after him, but after all, it was too late to start, and he was a step too slow.
The handle of the flying knife was finally caught in King Jing's hand, and the tip of the knife was only four finger widths away from Mei Changsu's neck, but the direction was slightly off, even if King Jing didn't make a move, he would probably only pass by his neck.
Mei Changsu gently made a gesture to Feiliu, no one could understand what it meant, and he could only see Feiliu stop all his movements and stand quietly.
Qi Meng scratched his head, laughed, and said, "Missed, missed, you scholars are not used to swords and swords, are you scared?" ”
Mei Changsu's face was like frost, and his eyes locked on Qi Meng's face like ice needles.
This scene is not uncommon in the army, treating newcomers, dealing with foreign military transfers, and treating all other people who do not have a good impression, often come to such a scene, if the other party behaves well, you can get preliminary recognition.
Lin Shu had done something like this before. That year, when his father introduced a thin scribe who was still in the military department at the age of forty into the Red Flame Army to take up an important position, the young and vigorous young general once deliberately broke his sword and let a fragment of the blade fly towards the thin figure, so as to test his courage.
On that occasion, my father's military stick was punished so badly that he almost couldn't get out of bed for three days.
Mei Changsu believed that King Jing must remember this incident and remember his father's words of reprimanding him at that time.
At the scene of the execution, Nie Zhen, who was the party concerned, did not say a word to plead for mercy, because he knew that the reason why Lin Shu was beaten was not because he provoked Nie Zhen, but because when he provoked Nie Zhen, His Royal Highness King Qi stood by Nie Zhen's side.
It's like when the throwing knife shoots over, King Jing is standing by his side.
Although Qi Meng has no malicious intentions, although his target is definitely not King Jing. But after all, he was sharpening his blade and facing the direction of his lord.
If King Jing has been keeping to the status quo, and if his future comes to an end and he is only a great general, then this scene can be laughed off.
But that's no longer the case. When his ambition and ambition point to the supreme throne of the Great Liang, he must consciously cultivate his own temperament of belonging to the monarch, a temperament that must not be ignored or offended in any way.
Looking at King Jing's gloomy and ironclad face, Qi Meng, who was still smiling, felt more and more wrong, and gradually panicked, and involuntarily cast his eyes to his left front.
The higher-ranking generals under King Jing were all standing in that place, everyone's expressions were a little nervous, and one of them secretly gestured for Qi Meng to kneel.
"It's the last general who is reckless, make amends to Mr., please Mr. read me as a rough person, don't be surprised." Qi Meng thought about it for a while, thinking that King Jing was angry because he loved Su Zhe and hated that he was rude to him, so he immediately made a gesture towards Mei Changsu.
"You don't have to apologize to me," Mei Changsu smiled coldly, and the words he said were like poisonous knives, "Anyway, it's His Royal Highness King Jing who is disgraced, and it's not me." ”
He ignored the commotion caused by his words, and his two eyes were still cold, and they shifted from Qi Meng's face to King Jing's face: "Su Mou has long admired King Jing's style of governing the army, but I didn't expect to see it today, and I was really disappointed." A group of rabble who have no discipline in their eyes, no wonder His Majesty is blue-eyed. Throwing a flying knife in the direction of His Royal Highness King Jing is really a good rule, and it is conceivable that Your Highness, your majesty among your subordinates is not as good as me, the leader of the rivers and lakes. Su really opened his eyes today...... Leave! ”
As soon as he was halfway through his words, Qi Meng's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and he knelt down with a plop. King Jing looked at him coldly, without saying a word, his face sank like water, and all the people present were silent, and knelt down one after another, and even Tingsheng, who didn't quite understand, was frightened by this atmosphere and quietly knelt down. So when Mei Changsu walked out of the mansion with Feiliu as if no one was around, no one dared to stop him to defend himself.
Because everyone realized that although Su Zhe's words were ugly, not a single word was wrong.
Although it is customary to compete in martial arts and test outsiders, the presence of King Jing and the absence of King Jing should be very different after all.
"Your Highness," in the end, it was the highest-ranking Zhonglang general in the Jingwang Mansion who said in a low voice, "The subordinates know that they are wrong, please calm your anger, and the subordinates are willing to admit punishment." ”
Qi Meng knocked his head down violently, and said in a trembling voice: "Please punish Your Highness." ”
King Jing's gaze glanced around coldly, and when he saw that everyone was bowing their heads to avoid his gaze, he turned back to Qi Meng's body.
Mei Changsu used the sharpest words to leave him with a big topic - to rectify the interior. Because once he chooses that supreme path, there will be much more things to change than imagined, and while obtaining other capital through the land invasion case, he must find a way to forge the top and bottom of the Jingwang Mansion into a solid iron plate.
King Jing felt the weight on his shoulders for the first time, but his waist was straighter because of it.
"Qi Meng was rude and disrespectful, arrogant, and severely beat 200 military sticks and demoted to centurion. Zhan Ying, you are imprisoned. ”
After saying this, King Jing turned around and strode away, leaving a large group of overwhelmed subordinates on the school grounds.
