When Xiao Jingyan came to the door of Xie Mansion, the person who received the report to greet him was Xie Bi, and as soon as he met, he said: "His Royal Highness King Jing is here in person?" Please come in, Brother Su is in the snow house. ”

King Jing was slightly stunned and asked, "What?" Mr. Su knows I'm coming? ”

"That's not it," Xie Bi said with a smile, "Brother Su just said hello to me, saying that His Royal Highness King Jing wants to take in those three children who have just released Ye Youting, and is going to train them to be guards in the future, so he will send someone to pick them up soon." I just didn't expect His Highness to come to the door in person. ”

King Jing let out an "oh" and followed his words: "I am very interested in the swordsmanship taught by Mr. Su, mainly because I want to come and ask for advice, and take them back by the way." ”

"His Royal Highness King Jing has outstanding military achievements, of course he will be interested in martial arts, like me, I can't, I don't have that talent." Xie Bi said as he led the way. The two of them came to the door of the snow house, and the attendants went in to report, and Feiliu soon appeared in front of them, looking at them coldly, his eyes were like ice needles, and Xie Bi was very uncomfortable.

"Come in!" The boy is erect and authentic.

Xie Bi smiled reluctantly, and said to King Jing: "Brother Su is so quiet in his illness, I won't go in to bother him, please Your Highness take care of yourself." ”

King Jing didn't want anyone to accompany him, so he nodded and walked into the small courtyard, Mei Changsu was already waiting in front of the steps, except for the three children lined up behind him, there was no one else.

"I've seen Your Highness." Mei Changsu saluted his subordinates, bowed down, and Tingsheng and the others also bowed down together.

"No need to be polite." King Jing said lukewarmly, "My carriage is parked outside the gate of the mansion, let the three children wait for me in the carriage." ”

When Mei Changsu heard this, he immediately understood that King Jing had something to say alone, so he ordered Feiliu to call a servant of the Xie family, and together he led the court students and others to go out first, and he turned around and invited King Jing into the room and served tea in person.

"The Nihuang County Lord was almost humiliated today, do you know?" King Jing didn't seem to see Mei Changsu's gesture to invite him to take a seat, he still stood with his hands in his hands, and asked coldly.

"Haven't you been saved safely?"

"As long as I go one step too late, the county lord will be taken into the backyard by them, and even if I try hard, I am afraid that I will not be able to save her, do you know?" King Jing took a step forward and spoke more forcefully.

Since he entered the snow house, Mei Changsu has noticed a hidden anger in him, originally thought that he was still angry at the behavior of Concubine Yue's mother and son, but now looking at it like this, he actually came at himself.

"Although the process is thrilling, fortunately, everything is still complete, why is Your Highness so angry?" Mei Changsu pondered, his face suddenly turned slightly pale, "Could it be that the county lord is ...... because of shame?"

"Do you really care about the county lord's feelings?" King Jing sneered, "Remind her that prevention is better than prevention, it's just a small favor, and you can't take the opportunity to make Concubine Yue and the prince guilty, of course you're not satisfied." Now the result is more perfect, I desperately save each other, the scene is fierce, the county lord is grateful to me, once there is a fight in the future, Yunnan Mufu will naturally support me. That's what you're trying to achieve, right? ”

Mei Changsu was a little stunned, slowly rolled his eyes, and said for a while: "Does Your Highness think that I am deliberately concealing the county lord so that things can develop step by step in order to seek the greatest benefits?" ”

"Isn't it?" King Jing stared at his eyes tightly, "You obviously knew that something would happen in Zhaoren Palace, and you obviously had the opportunity to warn the county lord in advance, why didn't you say it?" If you have time for her to watch out for the queen, she really doesn't have time to say the word Concubine Yue? ”

Looking at King Jing's aggressive face, Mei Changsu's expression was a little scattered. He really didn't expect that King Jing would actually misunderstand that place, it can be seen that people's minds are really the most unfathomable, you can never say that you have grasped the thoughts of another person, so even if it is a father and son who were once close, they may also be eroded by rumors.

King Jing's anger burned even more because of Mei Changsu's trance and cold expression, and at the same time, his silence was regarded as a tacit acquiescence to his questioning, thinking of the pain and shame on the face of the Nihuang County Lord when he fell in front of the steps, the anger was even more surging, and he couldn't help but grab Mei Changsu's collar and bring him up in front of him, and his other hand tightly pinched his upper arm, and his angry breath almost burned the other party's cold skin.

"Listen, Su Zhe," Xiao Jingyan's voice seemed to be squeezed out of the root of his clenched teeth, "I know that you strategists are not afraid to do the most insidious and shameless things, and I also know that the cold arrows shot by you people cannot be resisted even by the strongest people." But I still have to warn you, since you recognize me as your lord, you must know my bottom line. The Nihuang County Lord is not one of those who indulges in the struggle for power, she is the commander-in-chief of the 100,000 Southern Border Army, it is she who has taken on the responsibility of the soldiers to protect the country and the people, and it is she who has fought bloodily on the battlefield to keep you from intriguing in this prosperous royal capital! A person like you, who is bent on fighting for power, will not know what is the iron blood of a soldier and what is a wolf smoke on the battlefield. I don't allow you to treat such people as chess pieces, fiddling with them at will, and sacrificing at will, if even these soldiers who fought on the battlefield don't know how to respect, then I, Xiao Jingyan, will never be with you! Do you understand? ”

Mei Changsu's heart swelled with a fever, and a miserable smile appeared on his lips, don't you know what a soldier is and what a battlefield is? Maybe in the snow of that cold winter twelve years ago, my heart was cold, and my blood was cold, but what about those things that were burned into the bone marrow, were they also cold?

However, this question didn't need to be thought about much now, and there was no need to answer it immediately, because in Mei Changsu's trembling sight, Feiliu's angry face suddenly appeared. The young man's murderous blade exuded a thick chill, slashing straight at King Jing's neck like a scythe of death.

"Stop!" While shouting loudly, Mei Changsu used all his strength to knock King Jing to the side and moved his body forward to block.

Feiliu's murderous move was halfway through, and suddenly saw Brother Su appear within the range of the palm wind attack, knowing that he couldn't stand it, he was shocked, and immediately retreated with all his strength, blocking the right palm with his left palm, and he was a few feet back, but the chill still invaded King Jing's side and Mei Changsu's shoulder.

King Jing often practiced, and his muscles and bones were as strong as iron, and the cold qi that had been greatly weakened was nothing to him, but Mei Changsu felt as if he had been stabbed by an ice needle, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood gushed up, and he swallowed it back hard.

"Brother Su!" Feiliu shouted.

Mei Changsu endured the pain in his chest and abdomen, lowered his face, blocked in front of King Jing, and said sharply: "Have you forgotten everything I told you?" Don't you remember that you promised me that you would never hurt this person in the slightest? ”

"But he'......" Although Feiliu's expression was stiff, his big eyes were full of children's grievances.

"Don't talk back!" Mei Changsu reprimanded, "What you can't do is what you can't do!" Apologize to His Royal Highness King Jing! ”

Feiliu's whole body trembled slightly, and he pursed his mouth tightly, and Junxiu's face tensed, stubbornly twisted to the side.

King Jing had no objection to people like Feiliu, and frowned, "Don't force him. ”

"No," Mei Changsu's face sank, "he has to remember this." Feiliu, don't you apologize? ”

Feiliu was rarely scolded by Mei Changsu like this, his face was red, his breath was thick and heavy, his chest fell together, his teeth were clenched so that the muscles on both sides of his cheeks were tightened, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, if he hadn't been trained to have no expression since he was a child, it would have looked like he was about to cry.

Mei Changsu sighed, his heart softened again, he slowly stepped forward, held his face with both hands, rubbed it gently, and said in a low voice: "Don't grit your teeth, your head will hurt......"

Feiliu's mouth flattened, and he rushed forward, throwing himself into his arms, his hands tightly around his waist.

"Okay, okay...... Mei Changsu coaxed in a vague tone, "Does Feiliu listen to Brother Su?" ”

"......, listen to ......"

"Then go and apologize to His Royal Highness King Jing."

Feiliu hung his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his eyes, glared at King Jing fiercely, and said stiffly: "He first!" ”

King Jing raised his eyebrows and didn't understand, but Mei Changsu immediately understood the meaning of Feiliu.

"Don't talk nonsense, why does His Royal Highness King Jing apologize to you?"

"With you!"

"I can't do it either......

"He hit you!"

"He didn't hit me," Mei Changsu slumped his shoulders a little helplessly, "He was just a little angry, and he leaned closer to me when he spoke...... "He apologized!" Feiliu insisted.

"I'm not going to apologize." Before Mei Changsu could speak, King Jing opened his mouth unexpectedly. When he turned his head to look, Xiao Jingyan's expression was still very serious, and in the face of Feiliu's appearance, he did not appear perfunctory and coaxed at all because of the other party's weak intelligence, but his tone was solemn, "Everything I said just now is what I want to say, and none of it is wrong or false, so I don't apologize." But Su Zhe, I don't need this little brother to apologize to me, he is just doing his duty as a guard, and he is not at fault. But I think you should go and apologize to Lord Nihuang. ”

Mei Changsu looked at him, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Does the Nihuang County Lord also think that I deliberately concealed the report?" ”

Xiao Jingyan was stunned, "That's not true, she thought that what you were about to say was interrupted by someone else......"

"Then why bother to deliberately apologize and chill her in vain." Mei Changsu said lightly, "The county lord has suffered such a grievance in the royal capital, do you have to make her more uncomfortable?" ”

King Jing didn't think of this layer, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"I have taken the words of His Royal Highness King Jing to heart. Will be careful in the future. Mei Changsu continued, "But I also have a few words I want to say to Your Highness. You can't be averse to all schemes. To deal with people like King Yu and the crown prince, it is not enough to rely on blood alone. Sometimes, we have to be ruthless, black, spicy, and if we relax a little, we will never recover. You don't understand this, do you? ”

Xiao Jingyan frowned, but he knew that this was true, and he only felt as if his chest was stuffed with something, and it was difficult to describe the feeling of disgust.

Mei Changsu stared at every change in his expression, and his tone was still cold and hard: "Your Highness will inevitably feel uncomfortable sometimes, but you must endure it." I know where your bottom line is, so I won't break it. But I also have my own means and ways of doing things, and I'm afraid Your Highness will have to get used to it slowly. You and I both have a common purpose, what's the big deal about sacrificing a little personal feeling for this? ”

King Jing raised his head and took a deep breath, closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, before he slowly opened his eyes, cast his blazing gaze on Mei Changsu, and said, "Is this what you really think, I know." Let me tell you the truth, I really don't have the slightest brotherly affection for the crown prince and the king of honor. I don't care what you do with them and their henchmen. ”

"Your Highness is really frank, and you dare to say such things to me."

"If I'm working with you, why hide it. If you really want to harm me, just because you know the secret of the court can restrain me. Although you are insidious and vicious, you are really talented, if I don't have people like you by my side, what strength do I have to deal with the crown prince and the king of honor? However, in this big beam world, above the court, there are still some pure and good ministers, who did not participate in the party struggle, and ...... to them"

"I'm still going to take advantage of it." Mei Changsu said coldly, "But do my best not to hurt it." ”

King Jing looked at him steadily, and after a long time, he nodded slowly, and said clearly: "Just remember it." ”

Mei Changsu smiled slightly, knowing that today's conversation was over, he took a step back and bowed. King Jing really didn't say more, turned around, strode out, walked out in stride, walked to the door, suddenly stopped again, and said without looking back: "Thank you for saving the court students." ”

"You're welcome." Mei Changsu said lightly, "I hope Your Highness won't pity his suffering, he is too spoiled." He was sent to the army to hone his training, so that he would know earlier what a man's generosity was. Don't be like me, full of scheming ......"

Xiao Jingyan's figure seemed to stiffen for a moment, but in the end, he didn't look back and was discharged from the hospital.

Feiliu's angry gaze had been stuck to his body like a nail since just now, and when his figure disappeared, he still refused to withdraw his gaze in that direction.

"Feiliu, no," Mei Changsu took the young man's hand and forcibly pulled him to the inner room, "Brother Su repeatedly, this person is absolutely not allowed to hurt, not under any circumstances, understand?" ”

"Understand ......"

"Brother Su is very unhappy that something like this happened today......

"He's bad!" Feiliu said aggrievedly, "He beat you." ”

"He didn't beat me, I will never let him beat me......" Mei Changsu rubbed Feiliu's hair, "If he beats me, Brother Su will definitely be very angry, do you look at me, as if you are angry?" ”

Feiliu took a closer look and shook his head.

"Actually, Brother Su is very happy now," Mei Changsu twisted the young man's face and said with a smile, "I'm really very happy." ”

"Happy ......" Feiliu tilted his head, a little confused.

"Because he still hasn't changed," Mei Changsu said, his eyes gradually blurred, "Although he doesn't seem to like to talk or smile anymore, although he is not so cheerful and not so bright, although his heart is also full of resentment and hatred, but in his bones, he is still the kind-hearted Xiao Jingyan, or the same ...... A good friend who sometimes bullied me and sometimes was bullied by me......"

"Brother Su'......"

"Huh? What the? ”

"Don't drop!"

"Okay," Mei Changsu inhaled, with a smile on his face, and gently wiped the corners of his eyes with his fingers, "We are obviously very happy not to shed tears." ”

"Happy!" Feiliu suddenly forgot about the troubles just now, and pointed outside, "There is the sun, play!" ”

"Good...... Let's go play. ”

said it was playing, but Mei Changsu just sat on the bench under the tree and basked in the warm sun of the early winter afternoon. Feiliu jumped among the treetops to catch the light spots of the sun's shadow, and had a lot of fun, and from time to time he would come back to Brother Su's side and ask him to wipe his sweaty forehead with a handkerchief.

In an instant, it seemed that time and space flowed, back to the years of youth and indulgence, he tamed the horse shirtless on the grassland, the yellow sand dust flew under the horse's hooves, Jing Yan threw the wine bag in the air outside the fence, caught the head and drank it, the wine splashed on his chest, his father walked in, rubbed his head with a smile, and gently wiped it with a handkerchief......

"Brother Su......" Feiliu called out to him with clear eyes.

"It's nothing," Mei Changsu looked back gently, "the sun is warm. I'm almost asleep......"

"Then go to sleep!" Feiliu jumped up and grabbed a blanket, gently covered Mei Changsu's body, snuggled himself aside, and rested his head on his knees.

As the sun shifted, the entire snow house suddenly became unusually quiet.

But for Mei Changsu, who has been caught up in the treacherous clouds, such a peaceful time will become more and more rare and short-lived in the future......

(hmm...... There is one more update this afternoon...... ）
