Chapter 44: The Meridian Clock
Syllable!
In the courtyard, the lights were bright in an instant, which made Meng Xie a little uncomfortable.
Squinting, he looked up, and at the front of a row of rooms, he saw a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, standing with a smile in his eyes, with a hint of joy and relief in his eyes.
The middle-aged man's temples were white, and his weather-beaten face left traces of time, but he couldn't hide the breath left on the battlefield, which made Meng Xie extremely familiar and kind.
"Adjutant Zhao!"
Meng Xie shouted excitedly, strode forward, and hugged the middle-aged man.
And this middle-aged man is none other than Zhao Ming, the adjutant of the Qilin Army.
Zhao Ming also reached out and patted Meng Xie twice on the back, and said with a smile: "Meng Xie, I haven't seen you for a long time!
The words were very simple, but the feelings contained in them made Meng Xie can't help but have a sour nose.
Thinking about it, it had been almost a year since he entered the Exile Sect.
Although he cultivated hard day and day, every time in the dead of night, he still thought back to these people in the Qilin Army, and he couldn't help but worry about them, not knowing if they were doing well.
And what he never forgets is his mission to enter the Exile Sect, to cultivate, cultivate, cultivate, and become a martial monarch powerhouse in the shortest possible time.
Not for anything else, just to correct the name of the dead General Tuoba!
Letting go of Adjutant Zhao, Meng Xie also heard an unusually kind voice behind him.
"Brother Meng, come and let my brother see, how do you cultivate, even I am not an opponent. ”
Turning his head, Meng Xie saw the figure who had just stumbled and stood up straight, revealing Cao Kui's big face.
At this time, Cao Kui rubbed his shoulders, picked up the silver spear on the ground, and looked at Meng Xie with a surprised expression.
Meng Xie laughed, walked in front of Cao Kui, and hugged the other party's burly body.
"Brother Cao, you want to kill me!"
"Good brother, big brother misses you too!"
Looking at Meng Xie who was safe and sound, Cao Kui's eyes were moist, and his nose twitched a few times.
"Yo he, I'm moved, who was going to shout to give Meng Xie a good look just now. ”
Behind Cao Kui, a seven-foot-tall man sarcastically mocked Cao Kui in a weird manner, but his eyes were fixed on Meng Xie.
"Brother Zhangde!"
Taking two steps forward, Meng Xie punched his strong chest, causing the opponent's body to shake a few times.
Zhang De also slapped Meng Xie and laughed: "Brother Meng, it's not bad." What a strength!"
"Brother Meng!"
An excited voice came, Meng Xie doubled his head, and saw a black figure jumping down from the wall.
The black shadow approached, and Meng Xie recognized that it was actually Li Liang!
After a year of tempering, Li Liang has already faded away from his original immaturity and has become calm and calm.
But when he saw Meng Xie, he regained his childlike smile.
"Li Liang, you didn't go back to the village?"
When Li Liang heard this, he scratched his head and said with a smile: "No! My mother said, let me avenge General Tuoba, the Li family already has a queen, let me come with peace of mind!"
"That's good! Auntie is really ......"
patted Li Liang on the shoulder, and Meng Xie sighed for a while.
Parents who don't want their children to live well.
But Li Liang's mother asked him to follow Zhao Ming to the east and west, this is a deep love.
At the same time, he is also educating Li Liang that as long as he stands up to the sky, even if he dies, many people will remember him.
Just like the unjustly killed General Tuoba.
After greeting for a while, several people hugged Meng Xie into the house.
They sat around the table, Zhao Ming smiled and squinted at Meng Xie, "We've heard about the daytime, okay, don't embarrass the Qilin Army." ”
A little embarrassed, Meng Xie touched his nose, "You have won the award, Brother Zhao, what do you want to do this time?"
"Find Emperor Heng and rehabilitate the general. ”
Every time he mentioned this, Cao Kui was very excited, and his eyebrows, which were as thick as fingers, kept stirring.
Zhao Ming also frowned, looked at the steaming teacups on the table, and opened his mouth in a low voice.
"We came to Danyang City this time, to see if there is a chance to meet Emperor Heng, so as to rehabilitate the general, I heard that you are here, so I left a password, and I will meet you by the way. ”
"But we have been here for some days, and the palace is heavily guarded, and we have not found a way to enter and see the Emperor. ”
After Zhao Ming said these words, Zhang De, Cao Kui and the others around him also frowned and looked at the table.
"That's ...... so"
With his fingers tapping the table a few times, Meng Xie smacked his lips and said, "Three days later, Emperor Heng will reward us in the palace, I don't know if it's an opportunity." ”
"Really?" Zhao Ming's eyes lit up, and he immediately shook his head and said, "Even if this is the case, we can't get in, we can't all pretend to be disciples of the Wandering Sect and sneak in." ”
"Unless, the meridian bell of the palace rings again, and the emperor celebrates with the whole world, maybe that is the opportunity. ”
Ring the meridian bell?
Meng Xie looked at Zhao Ming suspiciously, not knowing what he meant.
Glancing at Meng Xie, Zhao Ming explained: "The meridian bell is an ancient bell in front of the Jinluan Palace, which is said to be the oldest bell on the Tianyan Continent, and it will ring every year during the Spring Festival. ”
"When the time comes, the imperial city will be opened, and the emperor will celebrate with the people. ”
Softly, "Oh, Meng Xie squinted his eyes, and kept muttering the words "meridian clock" in his mouth.
The atmosphere in the room became a little heavy, Zhao Ming saw that everyone was a little depressed, and quickly clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I don't want to be so much, Meng Xie is back today, let's not get drunk and not return!"
"Zhang De, go get something to eat, Li Liang, go and take out the wine we brought. ”
Zhao Ming commanded casually, and everyone was busy.
Everyone who hadn't seen each other for a long time pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and chatted in the sky.
Meng Xie also told everyone about his experience over the past year or so.
Let everyone also sometimes exclaim, sometimes indignant.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Zhao Ming looked at Meng Xie, who was talking happily, and asked with a smile: "Meng Xie, is it time to take out all your things for everyone, after all, you are the heir of the Exile Sect, and you are also in the limelight in the Young Hero Competition, there are a lot of good things." ”
His words made the room suddenly quiet, and everyone else looked at Meng Xie with a smile.
Meng Xie pretended not to hear it, and wanted to continue the vernacular, but found that no one spoke, scratched his head, and said, "Ready, ready." ”
After speaking, he took out a large handful of Xuanshi from the storage ring, as well as the basic martial arts cheats, and put them on the table.
"Brother Zhao, the reward hasn't been sent out yet, I'll give you a little more when it's down. ”
Before entering the Exile Sect, Meng Xie told Zhao Ming that he would not only work hard to cultivate, but also collect some resources, so that everyone in the Qilin Army could also quickly improve their cultivation.
Now, it's time for him to fulfill his promise.
It's just that Zhao Ming knew Meng Xie's character very well, raised his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Meng, you are the heir of the Qilin Army!"
Hearing this, Meng Xie frowned, gritted his teeth, and reluctantly took out some more Xuan Stones, as well as pills, cheats, or something.
"You are the heir of the Kirin Army. ”
Pretending not to see it, Meng Xie's bitter gourd face, Zhao Ming opened the folding fan in his hand and repeated it leisurely.
Whoa, another handful!
"No, I don't have much. ”
"You are the heir of the Kirin Army!"
Whoa, take out another handful.
Everyone shook their heads and looked at Meng Xie amusedly.
"You are the heir of the Kirin Army. ”
"You are the heir of the Kirin Army. ”
......
Zhao Ming is this sentence, repeating it back and forth.
Meng Xie was about to cry, and some of the resources he had worked so hard to save were almost hollowed out by Zhao Ming.
And Zhang De, Cao Kui and the others around looked at Meng Xie with a burst of amusement on their faces.
They who knew Meng Xie were very willing to see this person who had left the outer sect of the sect to be deflated in front of them.
This makes them feel extra relatable.
As for Meng Xie, although he shouted that he was distressed, he took out something happily every time.
In his heart, the brothers of the Qilin Army are family, and there is nothing to hesitate about giving things to his family.
It's just his personality that makes him naturally make this expression.
After a few moments, the room shone brightly with the things on the table.
Pills, cheats, spirit stones, everything, piled up as high as a hill.
Dazzling everyone, Zhang De and Cao Kui both swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
It was also the first time for Li Liang to see so many Xuanshi cheats, and his eyes were looking around, a little overwhelmed.
Only Zhao Ming looked up at Meng Xie, not knowing what to say.
There are as many as 100,000 pieces of this multi-spirit stone, and if you add the elixir and martial arts cheats, I am afraid that even 300,000 spirit stones are all less.
From these things, Zhao Ming knew that Meng Xie had an average life in the Exile Sect, and even tried his best to frantically gather cultivation resources, and maybe he also had some bad reputation.
Don't look at Meng Xie's painful face, but Zhao Ming knows that this is just the way everyone gets along.
"Then I will thank you for my brothers, after all, the family is a big business, and many brothers have to feed, and this family is not easy to do. ”
Watching Zhao Ming put away the Xuanshi cheats, although Meng Xie looked pained on the surface, he could be regarded as having fulfilled a wish in his heart, and let out a long breath.
Seeing that it was almost dawn outside, Meng Xie didn't dare to stay longer.
After saying goodbye to Zhao Ming, Zhang De and others, he left in a hurry.
After a short reunion and a short departure, Meng Xie knew that this was for a better life together in the future.
It's just that before Meng Xie left, Zhao Qing remembered something.
He told Meng Xie that this time he went to rehabilitate General Tuoba, and they also found another very important person, who might help Meng Xie at that time.
However, Zhao Ming didn't say who this person was, only that he would naturally know when the time came.
And a helper? Meng Xie was puzzled, looked at Zhao Mingshen's mysterious appearance, and left in a hurry without asking too much.
The next two days were Meng Xie's happiest days.
Many disciples of the Exile Sect came to visit Meng Xie and brought all kinds of gifts.
I know that after I go back this time, Meng Xie's identity will change greatly, and maybe he will be cultivated by the sect and become a hot figure.
And it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, and it is easy to add icing on the cake.
No one minds, at this time, he will have a good relationship with Meng Xie first.
On the evening of the third day, Meng Xie had just sent off a wave of guests, and after dinner, he heard another knock on the door outside.
"Senior Brother Meng, are you there?"
The voice was a little familiar, so that Meng Xie didn't remember who it was for a while,
Walking out of the room, he opened the door and couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the person in front of him.
