Meng Ying claimed that he was the descendant of Yasheng Mencius, and he didn't want to destroy himself in jealousy and calculation, so he told himself that it was not his fault that his brother was too good, and it was normal for him to be ashamed and jealous. However, in the future, he can't go on like this, otherwise Brother Xuan will continue to prosper as usual, and he will be destroyed by his own demons first.

Adhering to the principle of not being out of sight and not being jealous, Meng Ying left the Wubian Army in Shanhaiguan and did not return to the capital, but traveled around to study, hoping to broaden his horizons and mind and dispel the haze of the past. Later, he became acquainted with Ning Wang, Feng Yang and Qi Xuanyu's gang, and he was envious of their practice and ability, so he visited them frequently, hoping to improve his knowledge. As soon as King Ning's gang found out that he was the son of Baoding, they were even more interested in making friends, and they had similar temperaments and temperaments, and the two sides gradually got closer and closer.

A few months later, Meng Ying was allowed to contact Wu Yingge's intelligence network, and she also received preferential treatment from the Cao Gang for free access, not only did she greatly improve her knowledge and knowledge, but she also became a good friend with Feng Yang, and benefited a lot from him. Just when Meng Ying was glad that his decision to go out to study this time was really the wisest and most correct choice, he was careless for a while, and came into contact with the core secrets of King Ning and his gang, and he couldn't get out, so he had to formally join their gang semi-forcedly.

After that, he fell deeper and deeper. Wu Yingge's actions and philosophy are incompatible with the "courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, faith, and wisdom" that he has been taught and instilled since he was a child, which made him want to escape from these people several times, but what kind of tiger and wolf is Zhu Quan, how can he allow a chess piece with a handle firmly grasped by him to escape? After several overt and secret calculations, Meng Ying was defeated in addition to worship, and he was convinced and frightened when he lost, and he thought that he was not the opponent of this noble man at all.

During this period, he heard the name "He Angelica" for the first time, after a scene of fragrant eye addiction.

Although King Ning controlled him and coerced him, on the other hand, King Ning was no longer to the level of a corporal of Lixian, but a peer who was courteous and courteous. Every time he arrived in Daning, he was the first to be accepted into the palace, and the degree of respect in the mansion even exceeded when he was in his own home, and "home away" was interpreted appropriately.

Of course, Meng Ying understands that all kinds of courtesies he gets have a price, and he also knows Yu Rang's theory of "all the countrymen" - King Ning treats him as a "countryman", of course, it is impossible for him to be "everyone", it must be because what he wants to do as a "countryman" is something that those "people" who are not courteous can never do. Meng Ying could even predict that one day, King Ning would use both soft and hard measures, forcing him to set up a clear banner and completely throw himself into King Ning's faction, and not for him to surrender alone, but to let him take control of the Meng family, and take the entire Meng family, which has always been loyal to the emperor, to join King Ning together.

The Meng family is the head of all the prominent families of the Ming Dynasty, and the six families of Wang, Xie, Li, Chang, Guan and Xu are established as the "Seven Great Families of the Ming Dynasty", and the reason why the Meng family, the Wang family, the Chang family, and the Guan family have been honored for more than 20 years is because they are all unswerving royalists and have always been obedient to the emperor's orders. Taking the Chang family as an example, as early as the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, their in-laws Lan family was found to have rebellious behavior, and the Chang family's attitude was very clear, and they cut off ties with the Lan family on the spot, and assisted the emperor to thoroughly investigate the "Lan Yu plot against the case." ”

Lan Yu is also a famous founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, a generation of famous generals, and often meets his wife and brother. He is known as strategic, brave and good at fighting, and has repeatedly made military exploits. It's just that after he climbed to a high position, he was arrogant, and he kept more slaves and fake sons, wantonly and tyrannical, and seized people's land, which greatly angered Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in the ranks of the grass army, he was extremely poor when he was poor, he couldn't make a living with bran vegetables, and his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law and other families died of illness and starvation and abandoned him, so he vowed to "kill all the corrupt officials in the world" at that time. Lan Yu was proud of his achievements and brushed the emperor's tiger whiskers, so the Lan family was completely bloodbathed by the royal butcher's knife headed by his in-law Changjia. Lan Yu was killed for the crime of treason, the whole skin was peeled off, the inside was filled with straw, and it was spread to various places, and then the factory guards investigated Lan Yu's henchmen, implicating more than 15,000 people in death.

Among the 15,000 people, including all the officials who had correspondence with Lan Yu, and even had several face-to-face friends, the government and the opposition were shocked for a while, and the people were panicked. But among the 15,000 people, none of them are members of the Chang family, which shows how deep the emperor's trust and favor are for the Chang family. Such favors are all obtained by their prudent words and deeds, their obedience to the imperial power, and their good official reputation for decades. And the Meng family is also favored in this way, even more prosperous than the Chang family, known as "Wan Nianqing" in the "Officialdom Sutra", raising the thumbs up, the only favor and glory.

This extremely high and precious position, once it falls, you can imagine how painful and injured it will be. At that time, the dynasty will be turbulent and earth-shattering, will it be another "blue jade case"?

After Meng Ying was wooed by King Ning, she was always worried about such and such conjectures in her heart. Will one day, before the old emperor Zhu Yuanzhang returns to heaven, Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, will no longer be able to restrain his ambitions and claws, and will coerce all the forces he has accumulated over the years, or force the palace to force the emperor to take the throne, or launch a coaxing of the government and the opposition, and force the emperor to make him the east palace. Will there be such a day, and the Meng family will also be tied to King Ning's chariot because of themselves?

Although Meng Ying very much wanted to escape from all this, Zhu Quan used various methods to prevent him from withdrawing. The hard ones also came, and the soft ones were even more, so that Meng Ying gradually lost herself, knowing in her heart that she was lost to a thief, and sooner or later the Meng family would be affected by herself, but the gentle township of the Ning Wangfu once made him want to stop.

That's right, Zhu Quan was so generous to him that he not only let him live in the palace, but also called all kinds of colorful courtesans and pretty maids, and even Zhu Quan's own concubines to serve him. Meng Ying has been accustomed to the rules in Meng's Mansion since he was a child, and every word and deed is bound by the rules and regulations of family laws and regulations, and he suddenly left home and walked into the circle of King Ning, and suddenly had a pleasant feeling of "being in the cage for a long time, returning to nature". In addition, there are many beauties given to him by Zhu Quan, and he said in his heart, he will be sad for a day, and happy for a day, so he will simply be happy in the bitterness.

In this way, he really lingered in the gentle countryside for several months, and he also bumped into Zhu Quan holding a stunning beauty against the branches of the tree in the plum forest. Originally, Meng Ying was also embarrassed and frightened when he bumped into him, and planned to avoid it immediately, but the next scene really shocked him, making him hold his breath and stop, staring at the whole process.

At the beginning, Zhu Quan was extremely entangled with that beauty, and he was even more gentle and subservient to her, which made her eyes misty and overflowed with more tears. Meng Ying said in her heart, this woman must be Zhu Quan's beloved, I often hear that Zhu Quan is extremely indifferent to women, and I see that he will call the concubine he marries out at will to entertain guests, and call the prostitute, it can be seen, and Zhu Quan is so fond of that beauty, it can be seen that he also has tenderness.

But as soon as he finished thinking about it, a terrible thing suddenly appeared, Zhu Quan's face suddenly changed in joy, a red and black vertical stripe pattern appeared between his eyebrows, and then the whole person also exuded a compelling momentum from the inside out, which was very different from the Zhu Quan that Meng Ying had always known well, and was several times heavier than the latter's domineering, domineering and evil spirit. After "transforming", Zhu Quan had no pity for the beauty under him, and his actions became wild and rough, torturing the beauty to cry and beg for mercy.

He pressed the beauty to death in the middle of the plum tree, pushed her up and down, and in just a few strokes, he rubbed more than 20 scars of different shades on the beauty's snow, and the blood flowed like an infusion. A few of them also pierced directly into the woman's buttocks and back, and with Zhu Quan's undulating movements, they fell deeper into the flesh, and the beauty cried so hard that she gradually fell into a semi-comatose state, I am afraid that she will lose her breath when the clouds and rain disperse. Meng Ying couldn't bear to see it, she didn't expect Zhu Quan's hobby between the bed to be so cruel and unkind, and she intended to prevent him from killing people in disguise.

But Zhu Quan took the first step to wake up himself, stopped the atrocity, hugged the beauty and cried incessantly, calling "Yiyi" and "Yiyi" in his mouth, and also infused gas to treat the beauty's injuries, but the beauty was unbearable and finally died. Zhu Quan "transformed" into a demon again, not only continued to commit violence against the breathless beauty, but also slapped everywhere in a frenzy, destroying the entire Merlin in an instant, and looking up to the sky and shouting "He Angelica, take your life!" "What a angelica, how deeply you owe me!"

The fragrant affair turned into a murder scene and a battlefield of gunpowder in an instant, and Zhu Quan completely became another person, sometimes crying and laughing, sometimes beating his chest and splitting trees, crying for a while and shouting "Yiyi", and scolding "He Angelica" for a while.

Meng Ying was finally scared away and didn't dare to look any further, and in the following days, he lived in the palace very nervously, wanting to leave but couldn't get out, it was like a year. It wasn't until Feng Yang came to Daning half a month later that Meng Ying told him about it, and learned from Feng Yang that Zhu Quan became like this because he fell in love with a woman named "He Angelica" in Yangzhou two years ago.

The woman's appearance is like a fairy, but her heart is like a snake and scorpion, and she forced a normal Zhu Quan into this situation. But Zhu Quan loves this woman deeply and intends to give her the position of concubine, and now she is still in preparation, so in order to solve the pain of lovesickness on weekdays, she found more than a dozen beauties from all over the world who are similar to her appearance to be her stand-ins. Because the small character of He Angelica is "Qingyi", there is a word "Yi" in the names of those stand-in beauties, wearing the same dress as He Angelica, and dressing up like He Angelica, for Zhu Quan to quench his thirst.

Meng Ying smacked her tongue about this matter, and when she returned to the capital, she met Duan Xiaolou in Duan Mansion who was also harming "He Angelica's illness", and her impression of He Angelica can be imagined. Therefore, when he learned that his best brother Meng Xuan also loved this girl deeply, Meng Ying naturally drew a cross in her heart first. Later, whether it was King Ning's people looking for him or Duan Xiaolou looking for him, for the magical woman called "He Angelica", Meng Ying promised to help.

And this time, he confessed to the dying Meng Xuan about Duan Xiaolou looking for him, but he still hid the matter of Ning King Zhu Quan looking for him - although King Ning was disgusted after seeing He Angelica's "ugly" face that day, and immediately threw the fiery love he had accumulated for three years into Changbai Mountain, but King Ning came to Meng Ying again afterwards and asked him to help get He Angelica in his hands, one for revenge, the second for practice, and the third for covering up a secret related to He Angelica's life experience.

Of course, for three reasons, Zhu Quan only said the first two to Meng Ying, and it was another coercion and temptation, and He Danggui must be poisoned and tied up to him. It's just because Zhu Quan went to catch He Angelica by himself a few days ago, but he encountered the same thing as Duan Xiaolou, that is, he found that there was a very strange peach blossom array outside He Angelica's house, and people who came and went could pass through as usual, only he couldn't even take half a step close.

Bai Yangbai's "Peach Blossom Hundred Killing Array" was created in the Yongle period, although he taught Zhu Quan everything, but he can't lay out this peach blossom array himself, and now it is only the thirty-first year of Hongwu, so Zhu Quan can't crack it. The normal way to come to the door to marry, Zhu Quan was too troublesome, and it was easy to have an accident, so he thought of a method that coincided with Duan Xiaolou, that is, to take advantage of Meng Ying's favorable terrain, get the moon first near the water, and directly turn over a bottle of medicine, take it away, and store it secretly.
