Episode 16 Chapter 3: Hole Cards

"Little Tang Tang, let's go, go and meet Mei Jiyan." On the helicopter, Song Wulun beckoned to Tang Xiaoyan.

"Okay." Tang Xiaoyan jumped directly into the helicopter.

"Uncle Song, is there anything you want me to help with?" Tang Xiaoyan said.

"Let you be my bodyguard." Song Wulun said with a smile: "Mei Jiyan is very powerful, and there is a tiger's den in Longtan in the palace, I went to the meeting alone but I had no power to restrain the chicken, in case I was slaughtered by Mei Jiyan in anger, it would be troublesome, so let you, the top master, escort you." ”

Tang Xiaoyan was suddenly a little embarrassed, and his face turned slightly red.

"What, did you disturb your intimacy with your little girlfriend?" Song Wulun continued to laugh.

"No, no......" Tang Xiaoyan quickly shook his hand and denied it, and then changed the topic very distinctly: "Uncle Song, it is said that Mei Jiyan begged us to support him to become the new emperor of the Asian American Empire, why does it seem that we are asking him now." ”

"Shangfeng is acting secretively and unpredictable, how can I and other little people speculate?" Song Wulun laughed, then rubbed Tang Xiaoyan's head and said, "Move your smart head melon seeds, it's easy to know." ”

**************************************************************************************

When he met with Vice Chairman Gooch, Prince Mei Jiyan was lying on a hospital bed. But when Song Wulun and Tang Xiaoyan entered, Prince Mei Jiyan stood at the gate of the palace in full costume and with a saber to greet him, although his face was a little pale. But it still looks very noble and heroic.

When there were still ten meters to go, Prince Mei Jiyan bent down and stretched out his right hand with white gloves and said, "Welcome to Director Song Wulun and Mr. Tang Xiaoyan." ”

After Song Wulun and Tang Xiaoyan shook hands with Prince Mei Jiyan in turn, Prince Mei Jiyan turned sideways and saluted, "Please come in." ”

After entering. It is a palatial banquet hall. Soft red carpets, gold-trimmed dining tables, and sparkling crystal lamps.

The food and wine at the table were sumptuous, but there was not a single person in the entire banquet hall.

"I don't think the two gentlemen have had dinner yet. Does Mei have the privilege of inviting the two of you to dinner? Prince Mei Jiyan bent down and said.

"I've always heard that the diet of the royal family of the Asian American Empire is the most exquisite in the world, so let's meet the market." Song Wulun said.

Then, the three of them sat down at the table. Prince Mei Jiyan sat on the left, and Tang Xiaoyan and Song Wulun sat on the right.

"This restaurant is the exclusive restaurant of the Emperor of our country, and Mei Jiyan did not have the right to enter this restaurant before. The last time the first lady of the Begonia Kingdom visited the palace, she did not enter this restaurant. Mei Jiyan said: "However, the Daxing Emperor of our country has a strange taste in food and drink, and it is very light. I don't think the two of you like it much, so I asked the chef to cook it according to their tastes, hoping that the two of them would like it. ”

Song Wulun picked up the bowl of soup in front of him and scooped it with a silver spoon and ate it, then smacked his lips and said, "It's delicious." What kind of soup is this? ”

"Beef tongue truffle soup." Prince Mei Jiyan also scooped up a spoonful and drank it.

"Oh, this is truffle soup, huh?" Song Wulun was surprised.

Tang Xiaoyan took a sip and said in surprise: "Uncle Song, haven't you ever drunk it?" ”

Song Wulun shook his head and said, "I haven't drunk it, I eat a boxed lunch most of the time." ”

"I haven't drunk it either." Tang Xiaoyan drank the small bowl of soup in one gulp.

"We people in the Asian American Empire don't eat abalone, but your people seem to like it, so I specially invited a chef to make three points and try it." Mei Jiyan said.

Tang Xiaoyan looked at the abalone on the table. It's relatively large. Look at the chopsticks on the left and the spoon and knife and fork on the right. I couldn't help but ask, "Should this be eaten with chopsticks or with a knife, fork and spoon?" ”

Mei Jiyan smiled: "Whatever." Mr. Tang Xiaoyan can use whatever he likes. Tang Xiaoyan first cut with a knife, then clamped it with chopsticks, and praised it in his mouth: "This is delicious......"

Prince Mei Jiyan smiled slightly, raised his wine glass and raised it to the two of them: "Originally, Mei Jiyan's body was not healed and he couldn't drink, but the two of them were honored guests, so I did it first." ”

After that, Mei Jiyan took a sip.

The injuries to his trachea, lung lobes, and esophagus have not yet healed, and he should have eaten liquids, let alone alcohol. So after drinking this breath, it immediately caused a fierce cough, and after wiping the corners of his mouth with a snow-white silk scarf, the silk scarf suddenly left red blood stains.

For the next half hour, neither side talked about anything serious, just eating and drinking. Prince Umekihiko was a gentleman of all who helped introduce the various dishes on the table, and although he coughed violently and coughed up blood foam every time he drank, he was still very enthusiastic and frequently persuaded to drink.

The last three drank two bottles of red wine with a total of 1,500 ml, which made Tang Xiaoyan a little drunk.

After eating, Prince Mei Jiyan asked everyone to tear off everything on the table and replace it with a cup of coffee and two cups of green tea.

"Not long ago, I just finished hosting the league's rotating vice president, Mr. Gooch, and Mr. Lin Lifu." Prince Mei Jiyan said: "When I received Mr. Gucci, I was lying on the hospital bed. When I received Mr. Lin Lifu, I sat casually on a chair and wore casual clothes. ”

"We have negotiated a lot of things, and I think Mr. Song Wulun should also be clear." Prince Mei Jiyan said: "Both of you know that Mr. Lin Lifu and I are relatively good friends, but Mr. Gucci and I have a very good personal relationship, especially in some unknown hobbies. They are good friends to me, and Mr. Song Wulun and Tang Xiaoyan can be said to be enemies and even enemies to me. ”

"But for my friends, I didn't entertain a cup of tea, a glass of wine. Because deep down I despise them. A timid and cowardly politician, a greedy and cunning capitalist. As for the two of them, I am willing to express my respect with the highest courtesy. Prince Mei Jiyan said: "Your country is really a very strange country. There are businessmen and politicians who can sell everything for their own even a little profit. There are also noble people who are willing to give everything they have, including their own lives, for the benefit of the people. ”

"For the latter, I call it a patriot." Prince Mei Jiyan said: "Mr. Song Wulun is a patriot. Mr. Tang Xiaoyan is a patriot. I, I'm also a patriot. Pure patriots, patriots who can sacrifice everything for the sake of the country. We are like-minded, even if it is against each other. Also like-minded. ”

"Can I interject." Tang Xiaoyan said suddenly.

"Please." Prince Mei Jiyan said.

"Since we are like-minded, and we actually have similar blood in our blood, why is Prince Mei Jiyan not on our side?" Tang Xiaoyan said.

Prince Mei Jiyan looked at Tang Xiaoyan seriously and thought about it for a long time. said: "Mr. Tang, in fact, from the heart of the feelings. Not only Emperor Zhaowu of Daxing, but also Emperor Suren of the previous year, they all want to stand by you. Emperor Suren even showed it, it was more obvious, so he died, on a trip to the sea, he was sunk and died. Of course, it's not just Emperor Suren. There was also Prince Tsumi, the chief minister of the cabinet at the time, Lord Tsutsuki, who fell and died while climbing the mountain. In just a few decades, at least more than 40 members of the royal family and cabinet of the Asian and American empires died unnatural deaths. It's all because of the feelings in their hearts. ”

"Of course, just because of these dastardly assassinations and the like, is not enough to threaten and intimidate me." Prince Mei Jiyan said: "Mr. Song and Mr. Tang also know that I have a certain degree of attainment in martial arts, and it is not so easy to kill me in some aspects. If I hadn't seen something and knew something, I would have chosen to be on your side. Perhaps my next words will be a great blow to both of you.........,"You don't know how powerful your enemies are, with my mind and vision. I don't see any hope of winning at all. Prince Mei Jiyan said: "You can't imagine how unimaginable your enemies are......"

Prince Mei Jiyan struggled to organize the wording, and said, "So for the sake of the empire." For the sake of the people of the empire, I have to make a choice. And. A lot of people in the league are acting in ways that I despise, and I don't see any hope of winning with them. Of course, because of them, I am comfortable in negotiations and politics. ”

"I invited the two gentlemen to come this time, not to be precise, not to negotiate, but to entertain." Prince Mei Jiyan said: "You two know that one of the conditions I put forward is to arrest Mr. Song Wulun, remove him from his position, and send him to a military court. They agreed, and according to their methods, perhaps Mr. Song would die, or he might never be able to get out of prison. Therefore, tonight's reception can be regarded as a send-off for Mr. Song. ”

"I'm tired." Song Wulun said: "But we are here to negotiate, but we had a meal by the way." Now that the meal is finished, I want to talk about our conditions, is that okay? ”。

"Please." Prince Mei Jiyan said.

"First, you must not become the new emperor of the Asian and American Empire. Second, Princess Mei Yuehina must become the new emperor of the Asian American Empire. Thirdly, all the contents of the Holy Capital Agreement must be fully implemented. Of course, when Princess Mei Yuehina becomes the new emperor of the Asian American Empire, the alliance will talk to her. Song Wulun said.

Prince Mei Jiyan frowned and said, "Mr. Song is undoubtedly not the kind of person who can say certain things at will, since you say it, you will definitely have something to rely on, can I ask what makes it possible for you to say these things to me?" I can't imagine what great hole cards you're going to have. ”

"Because, the Emperor of your country and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were all killed by you." Song Wulun said.

"Bang ......" Suddenly, a thunderbolt struck from the sky, and winter thundered.

Then, there was a brief silence in the entire palace, as if to make time for the thunder outside.

After a while, Prince Mei Jiyan's handsome eyelashes trembled slightly: "Your guess is groundless, and the whole world knows it. At the time of the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I was in the intensive care unit in Akin City, and I was in a coma all the time. Every second I spent in the dust-free monitoring room, there were many pairs of eyes staring, not only the eyes of the Asian and American Empire, but also the eyes of the Eastern Alliance. ”

"That's right, you've been in the intensive care unit all the time, so you won't be suspicious." Song Wulun said: "You lost to Tang Xiaoyan in the duel, and what you lost was not only a duel, but also a game between the Asian and American empires and alliances. And you yourself were tortured and killed by Tang Xiaoyan, and you didn't know your life and death, and you didn't open your eyes for more than a month on the death line. Even if the whole world is suspected of assassinating your emperor and crown prince, you are absolutely innocent. No one in the world will associate the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on you. ”

"Yes, you said it yourself, why do you say such horrible words." Mei Jiyan said with a smile.

"Because it's true." Song Wulun said with a smile.

"According to the theory of the ultimate beneficiary of the assassination, I am suspicious." Prince Mei Jiyan said: "But I am extremely weak, I have been in a coma, I have not left the intensive care unit for a minute, how can I assassinate His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thousands of miles away?" ”

"Because it is another you who went to kill His Majesty the Emperor of your country and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, another Prince Mei Jiyan." Song Wulun said.

"Ha......" Prince Mei Jiyan laughed and said, "Then Mr. Song means that I, Mei Jiyan, am a fake." But before I went to the intensive care unit, my blood, my DNA went through many lab tests. Even if someone can have plastic surgery exactly like me, blood and DNA, fingerprints, pupils, and other top-secret data can't be the same. As we all know, everyone's DNA, fingerprints, and pupils are unique. ”

"I didn't say you were fake." Song Wulun said: "I'm just saying that it was another Prince Mei Jiyan who went to kill His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As for you now, you're just a clone. ”

"Boom......" There was another thunderclap outside.

Prince Mei Jiyan was slightly stunned, only less than half a second, as if he was frightened by the thunder outside, and then regained his confident and elegant smile.

"Your Excellency Song Wulun, you really have crazy fantasies, congratulations on your ability to retain your fantasies." Prince Mei Jiyan said with a smile.

"You have a weak heart, that's why you put on a defensive mask and call me Your Excellency Song Wulun." Song Wulun said coldly: "But it's not me who has this fantasy ability? If it weren't for the fact that one day he was so unsure about saying his crazy thoughts, I would never have imagined that the Prince Mei Kihiko standing in front of me at this time turned out to be a clone. ”

Prince Mei Jiyan smiled: "Who is the person who has the fantasy power of a novelist?" ”

Song Wulun said: "This is the boy standing opposite you at this time, Tang Xiaoyan......"
