"Miss Yueqing is here, what did Miss Ah Xiu say?" In a remote courtyard on South Street in Beijing, Qiu Qingyun welcomed the palace maid in disguise, and asked impatiently.

Yueqing is the maid who grew up in the Meng family, and after entering the palace, she often acts as an intermediary between internal and external contacts, and generally Qiu Qingyun and others have something to discuss with Ah Xiu, and they will pass through her.

Hearing Qiu Qingyun's question, Yueqing shook her head helplessly: "Aunt Axiu said, she has nothing to say to you." ”

Qiu Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "It's okay." ”

Although he received such an answer, Qiu Qingyun did not show too much disappointment, thinking that he had expected this kind of result.

He said to Yueqing: "There have been many events in Beijing recently, you have to pay more attention in the palace, if it really comes to a critical juncture, you must not let Miss A Xiu insist on going her own way, and you must remember to pass the news to us." ”

"Well, the slave understands." Yueqing nodded, the two didn't say anything, she cleaned herself up again, and soon left the small courtyard.

After Yueqing left, Qiu Qingyun suddenly said to the empty room, "She doesn't want to see you." ”

"Expected." Originally, there should have only been one person left in the room, but a second voice suddenly appeared, and Meng Yuan's figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

Qiu Qingyun sighed: "We don't have to worry about her in the palace, now you should think about it more, how to deal with the chaos in front of you." ”

"Don't you think that's good?" Meng Yuan said with a smile.

Qiu Qingyun frowned: "A few years earlier, or a few years later, it is a good time to deal with the family, but now. To put it mildly, Your Majesty is fifty-five in his sixties this year, and you know best how his body is. ”

Meng Yuan's eyes lowered, as if he was reluctant to talk about this topic, he looked away and said lightly: "I can probably guess why that kid did this, the New Year is approaching, and the day of Yongle is not far away." ”

Qiu Qingyun stopped talking, but his frowning brows never let go, and after a while, he said, "I'm too anxious, after all, all this is just your speculation." ”

"Anyway, things have been done, we have no way back, since we handed over all the power to that kid, now that this situation, you should have been mentally prepared."

Meng Yuan poured himself a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, he said, "As for how to deal with it, after seeing him, we will naturally know." ”

Qiu Qingyun saw that Meng Yuan had made up his mind, so he no longer persuaded him, but said, "Since this is the case, then I'll go to the Yamen?" ”

"No need," Meng Yuan said, "the less people know about your return to Beijing, the better, and he will come to us." ”

"But."

Qiu Qingyun wanted to say something, but he heard Meng Yuan laugh: "Qingyun, you are not confused, you must know that in this capital, but there is wind and grass, Jinyi Wei will come when he hears the sound, wait, at most an hour, they should come." ”

Indeed, as Meng Yuan said, in less than half an hour, the door of the small courtyard was knocked open, and Zeng Hongren, who saw Qiu Qingyun head-on, was stunned.

After hurriedly saluting, he went in with Qiu Qingyun to meet Lord Meng Yuan, who had "come back from the dead", and then he naturally hurried back to the yamen and told Lu Hanjiang about it.

So, after a stick of incense, Lu Hanjiang met Meng Yuan in the small courtyard.

Qiu Qingyun and the others retreated with interest, leaving the space for the two of them, and as soon as they sat down, Lu Hanjiang couldn't wait to start complaining: "Old man, you are really happy to be the shopkeeper. ”

"Each other," Meng Yuan glanced at him lightly, and said, "Compared to you being able to mess up the world while shaking your hands, the old man is ashamed of himself." ”

"Cough," Lu Hanjiang coughed unnaturally, he smiled and said, "Okay, let's not go through the old accounts, let's get down to business, you always go back to Beijing this time, you should have a way to take care of the big trouble in front of the kid, right?" ”

Meng Yuan said angrily: "It turns out that you also know that this trouble is as big as the sky, when you killed Chen Heguang, you didn't think about what you would do if I really left it alone." ”

Lu Hanjiang shrugged his shoulders and said a little scoundrelly: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and besides, there is Aunt Axiu watching in the palace, so there must be no big deal." ”

Speaking of Ah Xiu, Meng Yuan's face changed slightly, Lu Hanjiang saw it, and he sarcastically said with no conscience: "Old man, I heard that you have eaten behind closed doors at other people's houses." ”

No matter how big or small the affairs in the capital are, Nanzhen Fusi is staring at, not to mention such a special moment, so as soon as Miss Qingyue leaves the palace gate, even if she can avoid the eyes of other forces, it is impossible to escape the eyes of Jinyiwei.

So as soon as he knew that Old Man Meng Yuan was actually hiding in this small courtyard, Lu Hanjiang immediately linked the two things together.

"Stinky boy," Meng Yuan scolded with a smile: "If you have time to laugh at the old man, it's better to think about how you will end up poking out this big hole." ”

"It's all said, there will always be a way."

Lu Hanjiang didn't look anxious at all, and he seemed to be really in the chest, but Meng Yuan was very suspicious that the other party was just watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal.

But before he could open his mouth to reprimand, this topic was pulled back by Lu Hanjiang.

"Old man, what grievances do you have with Aunt Axiu," Lu Hanjiang said with a smile: "We have nothing to do now, why don't you talk to the kid?" ”

"Didn't your uncle teach you that you shouldn't ask about your elders at will?" Meng Yuanpi said with a smile.

Lu Hanjiang said very simply: "There is no way, your sister and the boy's wife are now staying in the palace, if you break up with Aunt Axiu, it won't be a fool for nothing." ”

"Nonsense."

Although he scolded like this, Meng Yuan also knew that when Lu Hanjiang said this, he must have broken the casserole and asked to the end, rather than letting the other party hold back his curiosity and find a way to forcibly dig out the truth, it was better for him to say it directly.

After being silent for a long time, Meng Yuan slowly spoke: "Before the old man entered the Jinyi Guard, he had traveled through the rivers and lakes for a period of time, and I met Ah Xiu at that time."

With Meng Yuan's narration, Lu Hanjiang had a general understanding of some of the things that happened back then, and the old man met the sisters of the Emei faction when he was traveling, and by chance, they traveled together.

Along the way, the three of them can be regarded as knowing each other, and subtly, the old man also has some thoughts about Ah Xiu, and Ah Xiu also has feelings for the old man.

Originally, all this should have come naturally, and it was a good story to achieve, until a certain time, the three of them had the courage to break into the territory of the Xuantian Sect, and they also snatched the supreme sword technique passed down from generation to generation by the other party.

And the problem lies in this knife method.

"The ruthless sword is a rare supreme martial art in the world, the harsh training conditions, and the high demand for talent are all staggering, and the old man can practice it, which is also a coincidence within a coincidence."

Meng Yuan said in a heavy tone: "It's just that there is something wrong with this knife technique, it is the same as the shadow skill, it is a genuine magic skill, the more you practice, the weaker the emotion, the knife is as its name, practice to the extreme, it is to break off love." ”

Meng Yuan said it carefully, but unfortunately, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Lu Hanjiang's disdainful expression, and he almost couldn't hold back and wanted to slap the other party's head.

"Old man, there are no outsiders here, you don't need to talk to the kid about this, right?" Lu Hanjiang looked at the old man very suspiciously, the other party's sons have given birth to several, it really doesn't look like it's a broken love, what kind of magic skill is this, it's more like a pretext used to prevaricate outsiders.

Meng Yuan glared at Lu Hanjiang angrily, and only after a long time did he shake his head helplessly, the old man looked out of the window with his hands down, and the blue sky was reflected in his eyes, slowly removing his temper, and after a long time, only a cold self-mockery remained.

"You're right, these are bluffs."

Meng Yuan said expressionlessly: "The old man has affection for Ah Xiu, and the reason why he didn't leave her is not because of any sword skills, but because the Meng family will not agree to a woman from the rivers and lakes to become the main mother, and Your Majesty, he doesn't want the people he relies on to have such a deep connection with the rivers and lakes." ”

When the words fell, Meng Yuan looked down at his open palm and clenched it again: "The old man abandoned her for the sake of power, so she has a grudge against the old man, and the old man knows it, but the old man also knows that she still has feelings for the old man in her heart, plus she has a sisterly relationship with the young man."

"No wonder old man, you never worry about what will happen in the palace, so that's the case," Lu Hanjiang shook his head and said, "It's just that you always use Aunt Ah Xiu like this. Okay, be a big mouthie. ”
