"'Serve in the army from home to hometown, and leave home to send a cold coat.'" Thinking about it, the little junior brother should be cold now, and I don't know if the warmth of this Wuyang City can warm his heart. Zhong Fan, who was next to the side of the boat, looked at the looming Wuyang City, patted the boat wood and said.

The two sticks of incense with the flag of Dongyang City on the boat have docked, Zhong Fan originally thought that it was the people of the Chongjia family of Wuyang City to greet him, at least he didn't have to see the junior brother's disappointed eyes, but it backfired, the figure of the junior brother in the crowd was particularly eye-catching, Zhong Fan took the lead and stepped off the boat before he spoke, only to hear the little junior brother arch his hand and say: "Meng Yan, the deputy envoy of the North King of Nanyue Town, has seen the lord of Dongyang City." ”

"Senior brother? You! What's going on? Zhong Fan's embarrassment was overshadowed by surprise for a moment, he never thought that the little junior brother would enter South Vietnam.

"Senior brother, you are here today on behalf of the Zhong family, let's talk about the rest in private, and finish the process first." Meng Yan reminded in a low voice.

This reminder made Zhong Fan's heart settle down, the original embarrassment and worry now seemed to be superfluous, and he quickly adjusted his demeanor and said, "There is Deputy Envoy Laomeng, please also ask Deputy Envoy Meng to lead the way." ”

As soon as the official greetings between the two ended, suddenly a dissatisfied voice came from behind Zhong Fan: "Why doesn't Deputy Envoy Meng remember Miss Ben for only a few days?" ”

"Three... The third lady is fine, Meng Yan is rude. Meng Yan was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to call it.

"Okay, it's too fake, second brother, where is my sister? Where's Big Brother? Although his tone was light, his expression could not hide his sadness.

"The second lady is now in the Yantang Annex, oh, now it is the Zhong Courtyard, and she is preparing to get married these days, and she will see it in a while." Meng Yan can't afford to lose etiquette.

At this time, Zhong Roulan flashed to Meng Yan's side with an arrow step, grabbed his ear, and kept beating with one hand, "I'll let you pretend!" Wouldn't it be nice to talk? ”

Meng Yan let Zhong Roulan vent on herself, but Zhong Fan couldn't stand it, and it was not good to go up and pull, so she could only cough softly, but Zhong Roulan completely ignored his reminder, Meng Yan saw that everyone's helplessness had to fall on him after all, and suddenly turned into a laughing face, pretending to be in pain and said: "Okay!" Okay~ If you go down again, you're going to fall off, I'll take you to Zhenbei Wangfu to find your eldest brother! ”

Hearing this, Zhong Roulan let go with satisfaction, as if she was deliberately saying loudly: "Brother Fan, let someone else take you to the Zhong family's courtyard, second brother, you take me to live in the eldest brother's mansion, crisp pear hurry up!" After speaking, a jumper jumped onto Meng Yan's back, and a series of operations made everyone dumbfounded, but Meng Yan reacted first and said, "Girl, don't make trouble!" It is not suitable for you to live in Zhenbei Wangfu as the third lady of the Zhong family now, and you can live wherever you want after the wedding, okay? ”

"No! I'm just going to live in Zhenbei Wangfu, what can the Zhongjia Courtyard mean. "Zhong Roulan is very stubborn.

Zhong Fan suddenly understood something, smiled helplessly and said, "Since Sister Lan is the deputy envoy's righteous sister, then the deputy envoy will take care of it." ”

Meng Yan also seemed to understand, hesitated for a moment and said: "Then it's lazy, Xiao Cong, you send everyone to the Zhong Family Courtyard on my behalf, and I will send the third lady back to the palace." As she spoke, she dragged Zhong Roulan hanging on her back up, and Zhong Roulan took advantage of the situation to hug Meng Yan tighter, and said softly: "Hurry up!" I don't want to spend more time with them! ”

The people of Wuyang City have never seen such a grand scene, even the most shouting hawker is now stupid, a young man in formal clothes carrying a dressed girl on his back rushed to the newly completed Zhenbei Palace, and there is a flower branch trembling clothes like a maid in the north, and behind the maid a large group of guards and maids followed.

"Second brother, don't be so fast!" Zhong Roulan buried her head on Meng Yan's back and buzzed, she has never been so crazy when she grows so big, although she is a little shy, but it is really refreshing, and she swept away the haze in her heart.

"Girl shy? I'm afraid, this is not Dongyang City, who can control us! Sit tight, let you see the second brother's exercises! After that, Meng Yan performed the exercises to make the people behind him exclaim.

This kind of crazy news has already reached Xiao Yu's ears, waiting at the gate of Zhenbei Wangfu early, with a sad look, no good face for all the people around him, a dog who has just entered the door for a few days is afraid of wagging his tail at Xiao Yu for comfort, in other words, Xiao Yu has already teased the dog, but at this time the dog meat is estimated to be in the pot, and later according to the secret passed by the cook in the house, it is said that the master of Zhenbei Wangfu and the younger brothers and sisters who worship like to eat dog meat, not that the master has a big temper.

A cup of tea kung fu Meng Yan and Zhong Roulan appeared in front of Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu was first happy, and then pretended to be serious like an old man and said: "Come down, what's the trouble!" I forgot what my identity was, come with me into the house! ”

Zhong Roulan was playing with the excitement of what, so she flew over and hugged Xiao Yu, wrapped her legs around his waist and said with a smile: "Why is the eldest brother the same as the second brother, so let's pretend to be the little sister first?" ”

Xiao Yu felt embarrassed to be poked by someone, immediately turned around, waved his right hand, and the three of them quickly entered the mansion, and when a large group of people followed, the three of them were already in the lobby of the mansion and one person was holding a cold melon for a long time, looking at the crisp pear that Zhong Roulan ate and was still panting and wiped it for her angrily, these are all acquaintances, Xiao Yu said: "You can also have a crisp pear, this cold melon is also available in the south but cannot be sought." ”

"Gongzi Xie is kind, the slave can't afford to eat it!" Obviously with some complaints.

"The pear girls are all old acquaintances, don't be so restrained, it's the same as coming home." Meng Yan's accosting is obviously looking for trouble.

The crisp pear was not polite, picked up a small cold melon and stood behind Zhong Roulan to eat silently, the palace guards and maids swallowed their saliva and no one dared to come in.

The four of them didn't stop until they were humming, Meng Yan got up and walked to the door to call the two maids and said something, and then returned to the hall and said, "Girl, are you comfortable, are you still happy?" ”

Zhong Roulan looked at the two of them, with a little sour in her smile, "Comfortable, I know that you two are used to me, don't worry, I won't be rude in the future." ”

"Afraid of a ball! Girl, as long as you want to vent, you can do whatever you want! Your second brother and I have long been notorious, and besides, we still have the identity of wanted criminals in the Ling Dynasty. Xiao Yu said with a grin, Xiao Yu was not relieved, he was really happy, he never thought that Zhong Roulan would choose to come to him, or it was underestimated, otherwise he would be the one who greeted him today, where would Meng Yan be in the limelight, he was really annoyed.

At this time, a servant girl came to report and said: "Tell the young master, the washing is ready, and according to the instructions of the deputy envoy, all the pine barrels with new hoops are used." ”

Xiao Yu looked at Zhong Roulan's reaction and said, "Girl, you go wash up first, it's hot here to change into some light clothes." ”

Zhong Roulan nodded and followed the maid with the support of Shu Li, and after the two watched Zhong Roulan's figure disappear around the corner in the lobby, Xiao Yu spoke first: "Second child, what do you think?" ”

"That's good, even if your uncle is unhappy today, it's still a problem for you, isn't it?" Meng Yan said lightly.

"You have a heart, I received a holy decree from the Emperor of Nanyue before you came over, and it was actually a reward for the two of us, and my uncle can be regarded as having a heart." Xiao Yu didn't seem to have any excitement about the reward.

"Oh? Tie us to the chariot of South Vietnam, which can be regarded as confirming our identity as rebels. Meng Yan smiled.

"There are four people mentioned in the holy decree, one is the matter of marriage, Feng Zhongrou Ning is the concubine of the king of Zhenbei, the lord of Hepu County, and the actual seal of 600 households; Named me the Marquis of Zhanchuan, sealed 400 households, and the deputy general of the Beida Battalion; Named you Shaonanbo, 200 households, Beida Battalion joined the army, and there is one person..." Xiao Yu hesitated.

"It's Uncle Yang, but it's okay to say it, after all, we have to meet, and it's not good to be rude in terms of title." Meng Yan's attitude is official.

"Well, Yang Boyu was named the prince of Shixing County, and he will go to Bihai City in South Vietnam as the head of the Senate in the near future, so he should not go to Wuyang City, but the Emperor of Nanyue allowed him to settle the clansmen from the south and the scattered children of various families in Shixing County. I see that there are your Montessori children who have already passed the Shaonan Pass from the north, so you can go if you want. Xiao Yu didn't look at Meng Yan, but his ears were nervously waiting for an answer.

"No, they don't know me when I go, I'm also embarrassed, since I have passed the Shaonan Pass, can I, Shaonanbo, play a role?" Meng Yan smiled.

"Are you going to place them in Shaonan County?" Xiao Yu was a little surprised.

"After all, it's Montessori's people, it's not good for them to depend on others to live, and I won't go back to Shaonan, so I'll leave it to them to make a living."

Xiao Yu gave a thumbs up and said, "Second brother, I admire you, this kind of thing can't be handled so indifferently by anyone, don't worry, I'll handle it." Then he suddenly changed his words and said mysteriously: "In the past few days, I have been wandering around with Chongsheng, and Chongsheng has revealed some things about the Ling Dynasty to me intentionally or unintentionally. ”

"Tell me, what's the secret?" Meng Yan became interested.

"The king of Houcheng, the first assistant of the Southern Pavilion of the Ling Dynasty, has resigned from the post of first assistant and went to the fiefdom of Houcheng, and this time my uncle's big wedding right Hanliang sent someone to come, and it is said that it has arrived."

"Quan Hanliang, I know this person, when I was still in the Night Guard, the master... Shixing Gong has not had much contact with him, but he has a good relationship, I am really not surprised that he resigned from the first assistant and sent someone over, his mind is weird, and now he can give up the position of the first assistant of the South Pavilion to avoid trouble, and there may be something big in recent years. Meng Yan said very fairly.

Xiao Yu nodded and agreed with Meng Yan's statement, for some people in the Ling Dynasty, the most authoritative person in the entire southern territory except Yang Boyu and Zhong Fan is Meng Yan.

"The crown prince took over the South Pavilion and the Night Guard, and Yuan Changli, the newly appointed general of the Northern Ya Dynasty appointed by the Emperor of the Ling Dynasty, is training troops in Sanchuan County next to Luochen City, who is this Yuan Changli, it seems that he has not heard of it, and the second child knows about this person?"

"The prince of the Ling Dynasty has a perverse temperament and is very stingy, he took over the South Pavilion and the Night Guard, and look, the already unsustainable Ling Dynasty is coming to an end, Yuan Changli? Isn't it Yuan Changli of Chen Jun? Meng Yan was also a little puzzled when it came to this person.

"According to my verification, this person is from Chen County."

"That's it, this Yuan Changli still has some ability, he is the person who is trusted by Nangong Buqi, the second assistant of the Nange, and the emperor of the Ling Dynasty has a headache about the private soldiers of the major families and the difficult things to control the border military horses, so he let the Nangong who was in charge of the military department at that time not start training recruits, I remember that the intelligence department of the Dark Night Guard recorded this Yuan Changli, but it took two or three years to become the general of the Northern Ya." Meng Yan's impression of Yuan Changli was limited to this.

"Well, second brother, do you know who else is here this time besides the Zhong clan of Dongyang City?" Xiao Yu pretended to be mysterious and said.

"It seems that the Ling Dynasty is rotten to the bones." Meng Yan hit the nail on the head, let me guess, "Yunmeng Tushan Clan? ”

"The second child really has a torch in his eyes, you can guess it." Xiao Yu's sycophants are disgusting.

"Okay, Marquis Zhanchuan, the young lady of the Tu Shan clan is the eldest lady of the Zhong clan, even if I am a fool, I know that they have a great relationship." Meng Yan gave him a roll of his eyes angrily, "If there is anything else to say in one breath, don't hide it, since I choose to accept Shao Nanbo, the matter of the Night Guard is naturally my vote." ”

"Second brother, I've always been afraid that you won't understand, since you have expressed your position, I won't be tempted, listen, I didn't go to the dock today because I received Yuan Changli's envoy, Sima Xu Shaoting of the Northern Ya, I think there will be a big event in this wedding." Xiao Yu chose to believe Meng Yan, at least for now, Meng Yan would not threaten him.

"Big deal? Raising troops for the Northern Expedition? Meng Yan was not surprised, "Xu Shaoting is not simple, he was originally a squire of the Ministry of War, and when Nangong Buqi was in charge of the Ministry of War, he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Sanchuan County as the county guard, according to which it can be seen that he has a good relationship with Yuan Changli, and at this time Yuan Changli can send him over just to delay time. ”

When Xiao Yu was about to discuss with Meng Yan in depth, Xiao Cong came to report: "Son, the prince is about to arrive at the gate." ”

Xiao Yu stood up suddenly, his heart was mixed, all these years of loneliness, the only relative, and the incomprehension in his heart all came to his heart at this moment, he almost forgot that he was still a teenager, after a pause, he glanced at Meng Yan, Meng Yan nodded, and the two went out quickly hand in hand.

As soon as the two arrived at the gate, Wang Jia's advance guard had already arrived at the gate, and after a while, an unusually luxurious carriage slowly came, Xiao Yu recognized that this was a specially built carriage of Chongsheng, after the carriage stopped, Xiao Yu pulled Meng Yan down the stone steps and knelt on one knee, "Little nephew Xiao Yu greets uncle!" No matter how this kneeling, this uncle is sincere.

At this time, a person walked down from the carriage, with a medium stature, a calm face, and a fatherly smile, this is Xiao Huli, who fought all the way to the North King of Nanyue Town, he quickly walked into the two, helped the two of them up, and said unabashedly excitedly: "Okay!" Good! Good! The boy is my boy! ”

"Uncle has worked hard all the way! Please come to the house! Xiao Yu restrained the excitement in his heart, but it was difficult to hide his true colors between his words.

Xiao Huli patted Xiao Yu's hand and turned his eyes to Meng Yan, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "No, it's Brother Meng's son, and his spirit is like a father's style, thinking that this king was still a teenager back then, and now I see your Brother Meng's demeanor seems to be back again, I heard that you and Yu'er have been married, very good, and Zhenbei Wangfu will be your home in the future." ”

"Thank you for your love! The weather is hot, please enter the palace, and the children will talk with you again. Meng Yan said respectfully.

"Hahaha! That's right! Let's have a good chat when you enter the house! With that, he took a big stride into the palace with one hand.

The officials behind Xiao Huli are all sticking out their heads to probe these two teenagers, engraved in their hearts, Xiao Huli, the king of Zhenbei, can kill tens of thousands of elite soldiers all the way to the eldest prince Hu Xin with only 3,000 men and horses, and support the second prince to ascend the throne. In the eyes of these officials, these two must be exceptional.
