Chapter 775: The Crime of Baoding Hou
Low beds, ambiguous gauze tents, fragrant mandarin duck quilts, and ...... Bright and violet!
What kind of weird combination is this?
He Angelica was completely stunned.
Even if she changed the glitter in the picture to Meng Xuan, she was not so surprised. First, the person Zixiao admires is Meng Xuan; Second, Yi Yi is a lump of wood, and he can't imagine that he would do something like "snatching love with a knife".
Yi Yi also had a stunned expression, his mouth opened and closed, as if he didn't know how to speak.
He Angelica turned his head to look at Meng Xuan and asked, "Why is he?" How not you? I saw that on the bed not far away, in addition to a dazzling red, there was also a map scroll next to the pillow, which Meng Xuan held in his hand when he left last night.
Meng Xuan gave her a look back, as if to say, Hey! What kind of stupid problem is this?!
He Angelica glared back. Meng Xuan looked aggrieved and bowed his head.
Duan Xiaolou saw their eyes talking, his face was faint, and his lips were smiling. Only a few people who knew him knew that it wasn't really laughing.
On the other hand, Zixiao also has the same question, maybe it is too light to use "question", she is simply hysterical - she found that her chastity that had been guarded for many years was given to the wrong person, and she suddenly found out the moment she lifted the tent! No wonder she was blindfolded all the time!
Zixiao hugged her head and screamed: "Ah! I clearly saw a man with an iron head walk out of the camp through the fire! Why is the one left not Meng Xuan, why not! Yes! ”
Meng Xuan shrugged innocently: "Indeed, the conditions you offered are very tempting, and I have also kept my promise, girl, please cherish the guests you chose to enter the curtain yourself." Yi Yi is my most valued subordinate, if it weren't for his resolute refusal to unload the errand of the little guy, he would have been the commander of the first army by now. ”
Yi Yu's face flushed, and he weakly pleaded: "Childe, I don't want her...... She didn't want me, just right. ”
Meng Xuan said: "I have wronged you, these 'sacrifices' you have made for the Meng family, my father and I will remember them in our hearts, and we will remember them." As for how you deal with your woman's problem, I give you absolute freedom and will not interfere with your decisions. ”
was ridiculed by Meng Xuan like this, and his shining face was as if it had been steamed in the upper basket drawer, and it was amazingly red, which made He Angelica worry about whether he would have excessive cerebral blood and explode to death.
But he was still a little confused, He Angelica poked Meng Xuan, "Hey, do you owe me an explanation?" ”
Meng Xuan pulled his lips and said briefly: "It's just that I was coerced, and I just planned it." My father made a mistake when he was out on the march, and his army walked over, and several nearby villages were slaughtered, and the chickens and dogs were not left ......behind."
He Angelica hurriedly covered his mouth, glanced at Lu Jiangbei, and a large amount of sweat broke out on his head. She asked Meng Xuan to explain that it was right, but her father-in-law didn't need to be so sincere, in front of the spy leader Lu Jiangbei, to expose her father's old bottom, right? !
Sure enough, Lu Jiangbei, who had finished disposing of the bloody corpse, came up and asked, "Tu Village?" What do you mean...... The Taizhou mystery case of the year? It turned out that Meng Jiajun did it? ”
"No ......" Meng Xuan opened his mouth, but was immediately suppressed by He Angelica, "Impossible, there must be some misunderstanding in it!" That was the old thing twenty-five years ago, different from today's Shengping world, in addition to the remnants of the Yuan soldiers and Chen Youliang's Han army, there were also small bandits, and many forces were superimposed. Perhaps, Meng Jiajun just happened to pass by and took on a suspicion! ”
Lu Jiangbei was stunned, and said that girls are outgoing, and it is true that He Angelica also has a time to protect his shortcomings.
Meng Xuan stopped He Angelica for a moment, then looked straight ahead, and said slowly: "That's right, it was Meng Jiajun who did that thing, and we can't justify the outcome of this matter." Meng Jiajun carried two hundred and twenty-nine lives on his back, and the order to slaughter the village was personally given by my father, Meng Shan. ”
He Angelica stared at him in surprise, only feeling that he couldn't accept it, how could the disciplined Meng Jiajun stretch out the butcher's knife to the people and do that kind of beastly behavior? Father-in-law Meng Shan, from which side of the view, is an absolute righteous gentleman, there are many courtesy, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety, how can he be so mad?
After thinking about it, He Angelica asked: "Is it that my father-in-law was deceived by a traitor to give that kind of order?" ”
If this is the reason, maybe the emperor can also forgive some of Meng Shan's crimes, at least it will not affect the Meng family too deeply. Otherwise......
Unexpectedly, Meng Xuan still denied it: "My father is deaf and clear-sighted, he was not deceived, he did march through Taizhou, and issued a military order to slaughter the village in a sober consciousness." It was only two hours before and after, and there was no one in a radius of ten miles. I heard about this with my own ears from my father, and it is absolutely true. ”
Every time he said a word, He Angelica's heart sank, and when he finished speaking, he completely sank to the bottom.
If this is the case, then Long Yan is furious, and the Meng family is the target of his surgery!
looked at Meng Xuan in confusion, since Meng Xuan ate Zixiao's threat and sent Yi Yi up to "sacrifice", why did he say it all in front of Lu Jiangbei at this time?
Even if Meng Shan is really guilty, there are many innocent people in the Meng family, and they shouldn't be involved!
Meng Xuan sighed lightly and patted her head, "Let's go, let's go home first." ”
She looked confused, and Lu Jiangbei knew about it. Are they still walking?
"Hula-"
Sure enough, Lu Jiangbei blocked the way, and his wide long sleeves blew in the wind, revealing the black belt wrapped around his wrist. He Danggui heard Duan Xiaolou mention that the power of the things in that belt was extraordinary, and even he couldn't deal with it. Lu Jiangbei's name in the rivers and lakes seems to be what "everything is in the sleeve".
Meng Xuan looked at Lu Jiangbei's icy face, and said with a smile: "Since I have said it, I will not escape." After sending her home, I went into the palace alone to face the saint and confess to the emperor the truth after the Taizhou mystery case. ”
"The matter of more than 200 lives may not be able to leave you such a room for freedom." Lu Jiangbei said in a deep voice, "I don't want to make a big fuss, let's enter the palace now." Hand over a piece of hemp rope, "I'm going to wronged you." ”
He Angelica said: "The hemp rope is not even trapped in me, let alone him." ”
Lu Jiangbei said in his words: "That's why the word 'grievance' is used. ”
He Angelica raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"The Meng family has more than 200,000 elite soldiers in their hands, and the entire Ming Dynasty is only more than 300,000 soldiers and horses." Lu Jiangbei was shocked, "With all due respect, today, whether it is hemp rope, chains or anything else, there is nothing in the world that can trap the Meng family headed by General Meng." General Meng suddenly added such a big crime to the Marquis of Baoding at this moment, or did he dare to ask what the meaning was in front of Lu Mou? ”
He Angelica's heart suddenly sudden, pretending to be ignorant, and replied: "His conscience found that he just confessed his guilt, what other deep meaning could he have!" ”
Meng Xuan pointed to Mai Mang, and replied head-on: "The chief manager is afraid that I will use this as an excuse to show weakness to the emperor first, so that the emperor can punish the Meng family's crimes, and it is best to order me to be beheaded first, and my father will raise troops in the name of saving his son - is this the worry of the chief manager?" ”
The so-called "rebellion" is a rebellion!
He Angelica gently squeezed Meng Xuan's hand, Meng Xuan shook it back, and the dry palm was warm and inclusive, which made her feel at ease all of a sudden.
Lu Jiangbei handed over the hemp rope and motioned for Meng Xuan to tie himself up, "Whether Lu Mou is worried about the sky or not, whether the Meng family is ambitious or not, at least you already have that kind of strength." This hemp rope, even if it is to reassure the emperor, please. ”
Meng Xuan took the rope, and He Angelica helped him tie it, and he was bitter for a while.
The change of color of the wind and clouds was only a short moment of work, a moment ago, Meng Xuan and Lu Jiangbei also worked together to kill Jiang Yi, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them also became enemies.
Zixiao and Xiao Tao have long since disappeared. That's right, now is the time to avoid suspicion.
Meng Xuan lowered her head, touched her forehead with a warm forehead, and commanded in a low voice: "The matter of the rain and fog, if you still count, it will be hard for you." Father told you to go home first, but unfortunately I can't send you off, be careful on the road. Don't worry about me. ”
"I'll send her." Duan Xiaolou, who had not spoken, spoke.
The cavalry battalion, which was still full of people just now, seemed to have become an empty camp in a blink of an eye, and after Lu Jiangbei escorted Meng Xuan away, Duan Xiaolou took two horses and sent He Angelica back to the city. Passing through half of the camp, there were almost no human figures to be seen.
"Don't worry." Duan Xiaolou comforted, "He doesn't look like he's going to die, but your face is pale, isn't it uncomfortable?" ”
"No, I'm fine." He Angelica on horseback hung his head proudly.
Duan Xiaolou's red-maned horse got closer, and his voice became closer, "I have a separate courtyard in Yinma Town, which is next to Baisha Villa, with beautiful mountains and rivers, quiet and uninhabited. If you don't want to go back to Meng's house, I'll take you to another courtyard. ”
He Angelica pulled his lips and said: "Thank you for your kindness, you can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime." I am also a member of the Meng family, I am when I am glorious, and I am still when the catastrophe of destruction comes. There's just something I haven't figured out. ”
"Sure enough." Duan Xiaolou smiled knowingly.
"That's right," He Angelica turned his head to look at Duan Xiaolou and asked, "Jiang Yi is the emperor's designated prison army, and he died before he could jump, will the emperor make a decree to blame?" ”
Duan Xiaolou shook his head and said: "It's okay, Jiang Yi's death is his own fault, and it has nothing to do with you." You probably don't know, in fact, the current emperor and Jiang Yi have a personal grudge, and the reason why Jiang Yi was appointed as a supervisor this time is to have the idea of getting rid of Jiang Yi by someone else's hand. Jiangbei even set a charge for him, a total of twenty articles, enough for him to die ten times. ”
He Angelica breathed a sigh of relief and laughed at himself: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not because of me, otherwise I won't be able to forget that guy's death in my dreams." ”
"I don't blame you, it's his fault."
"That Jiang Pi is his younger brother, right? If you kill his own brother, won't he fight with you? ”
"No, it won't." Duan Xiaolou said, "When Jiang Yi left the Jinyi Mansion, he also broke away from the Jiang family, and in order to pursue fame and fortune, he did whatever it takes. At that time, Jiang's mother stopped him from going out, and as soon as he shook his hand, Jiang's mother's head touched the pillar and died, he didn't shed a single tear, and he didn't even show up at the funeral. Jiang Pi once swore to kill him, but now that Jiangbei and I are doing it for me, Jiang Pi won't say anything. ”
"Oh, so there's such an inside story." He Angelica nodded.
The two horses walked side by side, and soon entered the city, the first thing they passed by was the Anning Hou Mansion, He Angelica broke the silence and asked, "Is your mother's health okay?" The last time I saw her in Yangzhou, her complexion didn't seem very good. ”
Duan Xiaolou replied: "She has a bit of an old injury, which was left over from the battlefield in the early years, but it is not a big problem. ”
"Oh, that's going to have to take care of it."
"She will."
There was another suppressed silence. He Danggui saw that he was about to arrive at Mengfu Street, so he pulled the reins and said loudly: "No need to send it, the outside of Mengfu should be surrounded by the Royal Forest Army at this time." Don't show up, don't be involved, it's good for everyone. ”
Duan Xiaolou obediently reduced the speed of the horse, half a horse behind her.
He Angelica nodded: "There will be a period later!" ”
Brushing the ground and adding a heavy horsewhip, seeing that the distance between the two horses was getting farther and farther, Duan Xiaolou, who didn't talk much along the way, suddenly opened his mouth and floated from behind with the wind.
"You say, if you can hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime. If I say that I am willing to hide with you for the rest of my life, and guard you incognito for the rest of my life, will you turn your horse's head and go with me? ”
“……”
The horse was still galloping, the wind was whining, and she looked back in surprise at the blurred faces in the distance. He seemed to be laughing and continued, "You don't have to give me an answer, I'm just asking." ”
“…… Well, there will be a period later, Duan Xiaolou, take care. ”
Duan Xiaolou finally said: "The reasons I said before are all lies...... Jiangbei killed Jiang Yi because of a secret decree of the emperor, and I killed Jiang Yi because I saw him bullying you. ”
"Huh?" She looked back in surprise.
There were many people and cars on the street, and Duan Xiaolou's shadow could no longer be seen, and I don't know where the sound came from. Many years later, when she recalled the original parting, she could only remember the last words of farewell.
