Chapter 115: Wind and Snow
First of all, I will take a leave of absence: I will fly to the south tomorrow on a business trip for a period of six days, and the update will be suspended during this period.
Another: Book friends who don't like the word "brother" in this book bear with it, in fact, most of the men in the book are talking to Feiliu, a child who speaks children's language, when they call their brothers, Xiaoshu has also used it a few times when he recalls Jingyu, and he thinks it's not too frequent, so please stick to it. In the man's book "Water Margin", it is really the "elder brother" who is flying all over the sky, didn't Sister Hai also persevere? It can be seen from Song Yuanming's words in this novel that "brother" is a very normal and commonly used title in ancient colloquial language, don't have to think about the meaty place, if you really can't control the goosebumps, just think about the picture of Li Kui called "Brother Song Gongming", just think about it~~~~Hehe~~~~
ββββββββββββββββββββββ this is overkillββββββββββββββββ
In the past few days, the weather was particularly cold, and the heavy snow for several days covered the whole capital in a white expanse. Mei Changsu was guilty of an old illness and always coughed all night. Since he went to the secret room to see King Jing once, Xiao Jingyan refused to take the initiative to come again, I don't know if it was because he was too busy in his own year, or because he intended to let Mei Changsu recuperate quietly. However, King Yu came to visit the door a few times, and he was still concerned about his words, as if he had no knots, but it was a pity that no matter how much he pretended, no one was stupid, and when things came to this point, Mei Changsu would no longer unrealistically imagine that King Yu was still unaware of nothing.
"Sect Master, Tong Lu is here." Li Gang was ordered to go out today, so the person who came to report was Zhen Ping.
"Let him in."
Tong Lu strode in and brought in a breath of snow. Zhen Ping is the most careful person, so he immediately grabbed him and asked him to roast by the fire before going over.
"It seems that there is no urgent news today," Mei Changsu smiled and pointed to the table, "Let's have a cup of tea." β
Tong Lu rubbed his hot hands, smiled and took a step forward, and drank a cup of tea in two gulps. Zhen Ping scolded him with a smile and scolded him for "drinking cows", and went out to busy himself.
"Mr. Thirteen has two things that order me to return to the sect master." Tong Lu knew that the matter was important, so he wiped the tea stains on his lips and immediately said, "Xie Yu has been attacked several times recently in the penal colony, but he has been protected by us, and now he is too scared to do it. In addition, Xia Dong's whereabouts in Beijing in the past few months have been ascertained, and she went to find Xie Yu's left deputy general, Wei Qi, the current commander of Jiaxing Guan. But I got the news yesterday that before she arrived at Jiaxing Pass, Wei Qi died mysteriously in the middle of the night. β
"Dead?" Mei Changsu's face was cold, "Did Xia Jiang do it?" β
"Probably...... But it's still being verified. β
Mei Changsu closed his eyes and groaned slightly. In fact, although Xie Yu's left and right lieutenants are considered parties, they are just obedient to orders, and they don't know as much about the truth of the year as they do, so they don't have to worry about life or death. Merely...... When he attacked the Valley of Absolute Souls, Wei Qi didn't go, if Xia Dong was just to investigate Nie Feng's affairs, how could he go to him? Could it be ...... This female mirror envoy plans to investigate the entire case of his boss from scratch for the sake of her husband who died to death? And Xia Jiang hurriedly stopped talking, presumably he still valued this already suspicious female disciple very much, and was unwilling to embark on the road of final break with her......
It's a pity that Xia Jiang didn't know that in the dark cell of the heavenly prison that day, Xia Dong had already heard the most fatal confession from Xie Yu.
So no matter how much he tried to hide it, since he killed the killer back then, the rupture has been an inevitable end.
"Okay, I got it. Go back. Mei Changsu moved the stove on his lap upward, and slowly rubbed his fingers against the stove cover, "Tell Mr. Thirteen that if Qin Ban is not someone who will give up easily, he will ...... to her Still not to be careless. β
"Yes." Tong Lu bowed and slowly retreated.
As soon as he left, Zhen Ping came in with a bowl of medicine, handed it to Mei Changsu, saw that he drank it with a bitter face, and rinsed his mouth with tea.
"Dr. Yan's medicine is getting more and more bitter, have I offended him in the past few days?"
"If the sect master is sick, he has offended Dr. Yan." Zhen Ping replied with a smile, put the empty bowl back on the tray, thought about it, and said with some hesitation, "Sect Master, don't you think Tong Lu is like a ...... A bit of a change......"
"Huh?" Mei Changsu spit the tea in his mouth into the gargle and turned around, "I didn't pay attention." What's wrong? β
Zhen Ping scratched his head, "I can't say anything specific...... Anyway, it's in a hurry than before, as if it's in a hurry. When he went out to greet me just now, he didn't stop his steps, which was different from his previous habits, and he seemed to be in a lot of energy......"
Mei Changsu thought for a while, "In my impression, Tong Lu seems to have always been very energetic. β
Zhen Ping laughed heartily: "That's right." When I told the others, they didn't think there was any change in Tong Lu, it seemed that I was guilty of my old mistakes, and I always saw places that people couldn't see. I remember when I first entered Jinling and saw Aunt Ji, I said that she was fat, and she was so angry that she chased me with a spatula......"
"Is Aunt Ji fat?"
"Of course I'm fat, and my waist is at least two points thicker!"
"Aunt Ji's waist is almost three feet, and you can see that it is two points thicker?" Mei Changsu couldn't help but laugh too, "No wonder she beat you, you know that Aunt Ji is most afraid of being fat." β
"So I've been pleasing her for months." Zhen Ping stood up with a blink of an eye, and put away the medicine bowl and teacup, "Sect Master, rest, I'll go out first." β
Mei Changsu nodded, watched him turn around and walk to the door, and suddenly stopped him again: "Zhen Ping, let's let Mr. Thirteen pay more attention." You've always been careful, and it's not for nothing that you feel that way. β
"Yes." Zhen Ping bowed down to receive the order, thought about it and added, "Sect Master rest assured, he won't let Tong Lu find out." β
Mei Changsu knew that Zhen Ping was one of the smartest people around him, and he understood some things without saying them, so he just smiled and made him retreat.
The room was silent, except for the crackling of a burning fire and the sound of Feiliu chewing on a piece of shortbread. Mei Changsu closed his eyes for a while, and finally couldn't help but open his eyes and smiled: "Feiliu, if you eat like this again, you will eat like a little pig." β
Feiliu, who was sitting on a small stool next to his couch, raised his head with a piece of cake in his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's delicious!" β
"Of course it's delicious," Mei Changsu's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia, "We all like the dim sum she makes......
Feiliu tilted his head and thought about it, ran over and hugged the entire food box, and handed it to Mei Changsu: "Eat!" β
"Wouldn't it? You've already eaten so much? Can you still eat dinner? β
"Hmm!"
Mei Changsu smiled and picked up a piece of jujube paste soft cake and put it in his mouth, and took a sip, it was still a familiar sweet taste. When King Jing sent the food box over for the first time, he originally refused politely, but Jingyan didn't listen, saying that his mother's order was inviolable, so he put it down and left. Later, I would bring a box almost every month, and gradually it became the case.
Once, there were a lot of varieties in the box, about ten different kinds of dim sum, so Mei Changsu smiled and said, "Did Your Highness take the wrong one and give me your share?" β
King Jing replied without thinking about it at the time: "Both copies are exactly the same, what's wrong with it." β
Regarding his answer, although Mei Changsu was very calm on the surface, he couldn't help but panic in his heart.
Xiao Jingyan has always been a person who doesn't care much about eating, so he hasn't noticed any changes in the contents of the food box since Concubine Jing started preparing double snacks. But Mei Changsu didn't dare to say whether he would never notice it.
Because of this worry, when Feiliu was bringing over the food box he was eating, Mei Changsu specially solemnly asked King Jing to tell Concubine Jing not to bring him any more snacks in the future, he couldn't bear it.
But Xiao Jingyan obviously regarded his words as real humility, so he also joked: "The mother concubine cherishes you as a rare talent, and she knows that I won't win people over, so she will envelop you for me." β
Mei Changsu was afraid of drawing too much attention to the food box in plain terms, so he didn't dare to say more, just smiled.
Fortunately, since Jin Feng, King Jing's affairs have suddenly increased a lot, and he is busy from morning to night every day, and he doesn't seem to have much time to think about these small things.
"Plum Blossom Cake!" Feiliu, who was leaning on his legs, lowered his head and flipped through the food box, and suddenly a sentence came out.
"Oh, we Feiliu recognize this plum blossom cake, huh? Who taught you? β
Feiliu kept his mouth shut, obviously unwilling to answer, and when Feiliu was unwilling to answer, the answer was revealed.
"Okay, don't eat anymore," Mei Changsu couldn't help but smile and patted his head, "Go see if Uncle Li Gang is back?" β
"I'm back."
Mei Changsu couldn't help but be stunned, when Li Gang left, he had ordered him to see him directly as soon as he came back, how could he come back and not see any movement?
"When did he come back?"
"Just now!" Feiliu listened to it again, "Enter the door!" β
Mei Changsu realized this, and just as he was smiling, Li Gang's voice had sounded outside the door: "Sect Master! β
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and Li Gang walked in in a navy blue cotton coat, with uncleaned snow particles on his shoulders, which showed that the wind and snow were still fierce outside.
"Judging by your expression, the trip went well, didn't it?" Mei Changsu pointed to the chair next to the couch, "What did Yanhou say?" β
"Yan Hou was very surprised when he heard that the sect master was serving King Jing at first, but he quickly calmed down and said a few times, 'No wonder'. I directly conveyed to him the meaning of the sect master, and he hesitated for a long time, and finally made a request, hoping that King Jing would not treat the queen lightly when he succeeds in the future. β
He didn't embarrass me when he made this condition. β¦β¦ After all, the queen is the queen mother, although she has the knot of the old case, she should not be held responsible. Once King Jing succeeds to the throne, even if it is only for filial piety, he will not deliberately treat her poorly. Yan Hou ...... Sure enough, it is still biased towards King Jing. β
"Yes. Marquis Yan only mentioned this one condition, and then agreed to the suzerain's entrustment, agreeing to take advantage of the inconspicuous opportunity to walk around the various mansions in the New Year to pay New Year's greetings and listen to the opinions of some courtiers on King Jing. β
"Just say yes." Mei Changsu stretched his body, "Yanhou is a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing and is very good at talking, not to mention being idle at home and not involved in government politics, only by inviting him to come forward can he naturally leave no traces." Besides, if you talk about being sensitive and good at judging people's attitudes, no one can compare to Yan Hou's back then. β
"In fact, according to the observation of his subordinates, Yan Hou is just cold to the emperor, the abolished prince and the king of Yu, so he asks the immortals to visit the Tao, but in fact, he is not completely cold about the situation of the Great Liang Dynasty."
Mei Changsu bowed slightly, "This is natural." Yan Hou was born in a hairpin family, and he had such a period of scorching years, how could his blood be completely cold? I can't let people find out that I have too much contact with Yanhou, so I will have to work hard for you to move around in the future. β
Li Gang hurriedly said: "The sect master has been sent, and his subordinates will die!" Why did the sect master say such polite words today, which made his subordinates uneasy. β
Mei Changsu put a hand on his shoulder, pressed it slightly, stopped talking, showed a trace of fatigue on his face, leaned back on the square pillow, and closed his eyes. Li Gang thought that he also had to work hard during his illness, and couldn't help but feel a sourness, so he hurriedly turned his face to the side, and swept to Feiliu when his eyes turned, and saw that the young man was asleep on Brother Su's lap when he was full, and his handsome face was calm and simple, and he couldn't help but feel even more complicated.
"You only slept in the middle of the night last night, so it's better to go down and rest for a while." Mei Changsu felt that Li Gang was not leaving, opened his eyes again, and said, "Although there are many murderous intentions in the dark now, you don't need to keep vigil in person at night." What do you do with these children? Leave it to Aqing at night. β
Li Gang raised his eyebrows, "How to arrange the defense of the Su Mansion is something I discussed with Zhen Ping, and the sect master shouldn't even worry about this." β
"Okay, okay, it's me who is wrong, I don't care, just let it be you."
A warm smile appeared on Li Gang's dark face, "My subordinates know the sect master's kindness, but they don't want the sect master to put in a little more effort. Since the sect master knows that his subordinates only slept in the middle of the night, they must have slept peacefully last night, right? β
"It's much better, but it's just a few more awakenings." Mei Changsu said in a relaxed tone, "This is the season, just wait for spring." In the letter you sent to Langzhou, don't talk nonsense. β
Li Gang couldn't bear to argue with him, so he hurriedly bowed his head and watched him close his eyes again, and then withdrew lightly from the door.
Outside the courtyard, it was still snowing, Zhen Ping was standing under the porch with his back to the main house, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he turned his head.
"What's wrong? Complexion so dark? Li Gang walked over and slapped him heavily on his vest, "Your solid body, will you freeze?" β
Zhen Ping lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Doctor Yan told me that I should arrange a person to stay in the sect master's room at night......"
"Isn't there a flying stream?"
"What Dr. Yan means is to arrange another one in addition to Feiliu, a more clever ......"
Li Gang's heart jumped wildly, and he grabbed his arm, "What do you mean?" β
"This winter's weather is even more intense than last year's, especially this snow, which has been falling for five days. Doctor Yan checked his pulse this morning and found that the sect master seemed to have signs of recurrence of cold poison, so he had to take strong medicine, so the next few days were very dangerous...... But as long as you get through it, it's okay. β
Li Gang stood in a daze for a long time, and finally fell on his head, took a deep breath, and didn't know whether he was talking to Zhen Ping or himself: "It's okay, you must be able to get through." I see that the spirit of the sect master is still very good. β
Zhen Ping also calmed down and said: "Before taking the medicine tonight, I have to ask Dr. Yan to tell the sect master, this is a retreat to recuperate, and he can't take care of anything during this period, whether it is King Jing or Tong Lu, no one is allowed to see him." You and me...... You also have to be able to hold your heart steady. β
Li Gang pressed his forehead hard, and it took a long time before he said, "Zhen Ping, fortunately you came...... If it's just me, I'm afraid I'll panic even more......"
"You think I'm not panicking?" Zhen Ping pulled him hard, "Let's go, let's go to the West Courtyard to discuss it carefully, it's not good to let Feiliu hear it here." β
The main room behind him was still quiet, and Mei Changsu and Feiliu were sleeping peacefully. Li Gang and Zhen Ping did not go around the corridor, but coincidentally walked directly through the wind-howling courtyard, as if they wanted to calm the chaotic minds of the icy wind and snow.
Fortunately, at this moment, it was impossible for them to foresee that that shocking news would reach the imperial capital in the few days when Mei Changsu's condition was at its most critical......
