"Humph! \"

The man snorted coldly, then took out the token from his arms, shook it in front of Meng Xingzhou and the others, and said arrogantly: "This is the prince's waist card, you can see clearly, this is the privilege given to me by my emperor, and the prince can order all the people in the Drunken Dream Pavilion to listen to me." \"

Seeing this, Meng Xingzhou snorted coldly and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince? Hehe, what a big shelf! ”

"Since you are a member of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why are you robbing me of my business? \"

When the man heard this, he sneered and said, "In this world, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies, only interests. \"

"Oh? \"

Meng Xingzhou looked at him with interest and asked, "So, do you want to cooperate with me now?" \"

"Hehe, I don't like working with waste, not to mention, it's still your kind of waste. \"

When the man heard this, he sneered, his tone full of sarcasm and mockery.

\"Who do you say is waste? \"

When Meng Xingzhou heard this, he was immediately furious, and his face was red and white.

He is a dignified martial arts master, and it is a great shame that he has been insulted like this!

"Hmph, am I not telling the truth? You don't even know a little bit of martial arts, and you still want to earn those copper plates? \"

\"I've seen a lot of you kind of waste. \"

After listening to the other party's words, Meng Xingzhou couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his leg and kicked out.

"Bang! \"

As soon as his foot kicked out, a fist hit him head-on.

Meng Xingzhou was caught off guard and was immediately knocked out.

"Poof! \"

Meng Xingzhou spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly ran to Meng Xingzhou's side and supported him, his face full of worry.

"Childe, Childe, are you alright? \"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......"

Meng Xingzhou coughed violently, and he struggled to his feet, his eyes looking at the man with resentment.

\"You...... Sneak attack ......\"

"Sneak attack? \"

When the man heard this, a contemptuous smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "Do you think I look like that kind of despicable and shameless villain?" \"

"I'm just in self-defense. \"

"Humph! \"

Meng Xingzhou listened, snorted coldly, and ignored him.

Seeing this, the man said coldly: "I advise you, if you know each other, leave quickly, otherwise, don't blame Young Master Ben for being polite!" \"

After finishing speaking, he took his subordinates and left the Drunken Dream Pavilion.

Seeing this scene, the people around were stunned.

After the man left, Shopkeeper Zhang set his eyes on Meng Xingzhou.

"Childe, you ......\"

Meng Xingzhou waved his hand, signaling that Shopkeeper Zhang didn't need to say much.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, I'm fine, let's go." \"

After finishing speaking, Meng Xingzhou walked straight into the Drunken Dream Pavilion.

\"Hey......"

Shopkeeper Zhang sighed and followed closely.

After returning to the room, Meng Xingzhou first took a healing pill, and then sat down cross-legged.

He closed his eyes and ran the exercises, suppressing the spiritual power that was surging in his body.

I don't know how long it took, Meng Xingzhou finally opened his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

He stood up, moved his muscles, then walked to the table, picked up the teapot, and poured himself a cup of hot water.

"Gurgling ......"

The tea entered his throat, and Meng Xingzhou felt a hot current rushing down his throat into his limbs, which was very warm and comfortable.

After he finished drinking, he put down the teacup, and with a thought, he took out a pen and paper and wrote down some elixir recipes.

When he was done, he handed the paper to the shopkeeper.

After the shopkeeper Zhang took it, he asked suspiciously, "Childe, what is this?" \"

\"Refining the antidote requires a pill, and I don't have much pill on my body now, so I can only refine the antidote for the time being." \"

"However, the ingredients of the antidote are more complex, so it is a little difficult to refine. \"

\"You can rest assured about this, we are drunk in the Dream Pavilion, but there are special people in charge of the development, and we are not afraid that we will not be able to refine it." \"

"Well, thank you, shopkeeper Zhang. \"

When Meng Xingzhou heard this, he nodded and thanked him.

\"It's nothing, I promised the girl that I would take care of my son." \"

Shopkeeper Zhang shook his head with a smile and said.

When Meng Xingzhou heard this, his expression froze, and he said, "The girl refers to Sheng Guo'er?" \"

"Yes, that's good. \"

\"I see"

When Meng Xingzhou heard this, he nodded lightly, and said secretly in his heart: "It's still my wife who has a heart!" \"

\"Then ask Shopkeeper Zhang to help me invite her over. \"

"Okay. \"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhang nodded, then turned around and walked out.

After the shopkeeper left, Meng Xingzhou lay back on the bed, his mind turned over the river and the sea.

This time, I'm really in big trouble.

However, he was not afraid.

Because, behind him, there is that woman!

......

After half a pillar of incense, Shopkeeper Zhang pushed open the door again and stood respectfully in front of Meng Xingzhou.

"Childe, Miss Guo'er is here. \"

\"Hmm. \"

Hearing this, Meng Xingzhou nodded, got up from the bed, and said, "Let's go." \"

"Yes, Childe. \"

Shopkeeper Zhang answered, then led the way and led Meng Xingzhou out of the room.

When the two came to the staircase, they saw Sheng Guo'er, who was waiting anxiously at the corner of the staircase.

"Xianggong, are you alright?"

Seeing Meng Xingzhou's safe return, Sheng Guo'er's hanging heart slowly let go.

\"Do you think I'm looking like I'm in trouble? \"

Meng Xingzhou smiled and asked rhetorically.

Sheng Guo'er shook her head and said with a grin: "No, of course you're fine." \"

"Let's go, let's go to the second floor for dinner." \"

\"Okay! \"

"By the way, you asked the guys in the store to account for all today's losses, we spent a total of 150,000 taels of silver, this meal, I please!" \"

When Sheng Guo'er heard this, she nodded with a bright smile, \"Okay! \"

After the two went downstairs, Meng Xingzhou ordered a drink and food, while Sheng Guo'er ordered a pot of tea.

Meng Xingzhou looked at Sheng Guo'er and asked with a smile, "What?" Not willing to spend money? \"

When Sheng Guo'er heard this, she pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "You don't look at what your father-in-law does, will I be short of money?" ”

"Well, you win. \"

"Hmph, that's pretty much it. \"

Sheng Guo'er raised her chin proudly, \"By the way, Xianggong, how are you recovering from your injuries?" I just looked at your face, and it seemed a little pale. \"

"It's no big deal, don't worry. \"

"That's good. \"

Sheng Guo'er breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

Seeing this, Meng Xingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Guo'er, do you have anything to tell me?" \"

When Sheng Guo'er heard this, she hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to say, you have to be careful recently, the capital is a little unpeaceful. \"

Meng Xingzhou nodded, his expression was serious, and said, "I know." \"

Sheng Guo'er heard this and nodded.

......

Early the next morning.

The sky was slightly bright, Sheng Guo'er woke up early, and personally brought breakfast, so that Meng Xingzhou had a fine meal.

"Xianggong, let's go out together today. \"

After Sheng Guo'er cleaned up, she said to Meng Xingzhou.

"Alright, let's go to the city gates. \"

\"Yes. \"

Hearing this, Sheng Guo'er nodded, and walked out of the room with Meng Xingzhou.

\"By the way, Xianggong, you go out this time, but you must be careful, I always feel that this capital will not be peaceful. \"

Sheng Guo'er suddenly thought of something and reminded.

When Meng Xingzhou heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry." ”

Seeing this, Sheng Guo'er sighed and said, "If you are in any danger, you must come back immediately, let's stay in the capital, it is safer." \"

"I know, I will. \"

\"Yes, good. \"

......

The capital, in a luxurious mansion.

\"Smack! \"

Meng Xingzhou kicked open the door of the study and broke in angrily.

\"Who dares to trespass on the mansion of the Eastern Yuan Empire abroad! \"

The guards guarding outside saw this scene and hurriedly rushed over.

Seeing this, Meng Xingzhou raised his leg and kicked one of the guards fiercely.

"Bang! \"

Another kick kicked another guard to the ground, then roared, "Get out of here!" \"

The guard who was kicked by him, after holding his chest and getting up, saw Meng Xingzhou's appearance, and trembled with fright.

Seeing this, Meng Xingzhou glanced at them coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Who sent you?" \"

\"This ......\"

The guard who was kicked away looked at Meng Xingzhou hesitantly, afraid in his heart, and didn't dare to talk nonsense.

\"Don't say yes, do you? \"

When Meng Xingzhou heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a cold arc.

"I ask again, who sent you!" \"

His tone was extremely cold, and his eyes flashed with coldness.

The guards he was glaring at trembled and couldn't help but shudder.

\"I...... We ......\"

The guard opened his mouth and stammered, but he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

\"Which force sent you?" \"

Meng Xingzhou asked in a cold voice, his tone gloomy and terrifying.

\"I...... We are ......"

The guards who were kicked away turned pale with fright, and they couldn't find a suitable reason to prevaricate Meng Xingzhou for a while.

Seeing this, a sneer appeared on Meng Xingzhou's face, \"Okay, since you don't want to explain, then I'll check it myself!" \"

With that, Meng Xingzhou turned around and left.

"Xianggong! \"

When Sheng Guo'er heard this, her face changed greatly.

If these two guards refuse to confess, doesn't that mean that they are friends and foes?

If that's the case, it's bad!

"Xianggong, you listen to me......"

Sheng Guo'er hurriedly called out to Meng Xingzhou.

"Guo'er, there is no need to explain, these two guards are definitely not simple, they should be from a certain great family, but this great family, why did they send someone to assassinate us? What does this mean exactly? \"

Meng Xingzhou stopped, looked at Sheng Guo'er and asked.

\"This...... I don't know. \"

Sheng Guo'er frowned in distress when she heard this.

\"These two guards should not belong to any faction, so I suspect that some great family is dealing with us, not just the Zhao family or ...... For the people around you, but these are all speculations, that's why I told you to be careful. \"

I see. \"

Meng Xingzhou nodded and continued: "But I'm very curious, what kind of force has the ability to make the great family use a secret stake to assassinate me......"

Before the words fell, a spiritual light suddenly crossed Meng Xingzhou's head.

\"Is it ...... Zhao family?! \"

Meng Xingzhou muttered.

Sheng Guo'er heard the word "Zhao family", and her face changed suddenly.

"Yes, I also suspect that the Zhao family did it. \"

"I think the Zhao family doesn't have this ability. \"

"Oh? Why is that? \"

Sheng Guo'er said curiously.

"The Zhao family has no real power in the capital, let alone this ability. \"

\"But ......\"

\"This matter, I will investigate it when I get back, don't worry about it, during this time, you try not to go out casually." \"

When Sheng Guo'er heard this, she nodded helplessly, she also knew the priority of this matter.

"By the way, in the next few days, I will ask my brothers to keep an eye on the capital, and if they find anything abnormal, notify me immediately." \"

\"Yes. \"

Sheng Guo'er nodded.

"Then I'll go back to my room and change my clothes, and then I'll go out on errands." \"

Meng Xingzhou said, turned around and walked towards the outside of the study.

Sheng Guo'er looked at Meng Xingzhou's back as he gradually moved away, and her expression darkened a little.

Whether it was done by the Zhao family or not, she had to pay attention.

After Meng Xingzhou walked into the room, he took out a pen and paper, wrote a letter, and asked people to send it to Master Chang.

Master Chang looked at Meng Xingzhou's letter and felt that this matter had something to do with Zhao Changfeng.

Because in the letter written by Meng Xingzhou to Chang Daren, he deliberately emphasized that Chang Daren paid close attention to everyone in the capital, especially the Zhao family.

Although Lord Chang was puzzled by Meng Xingzhou's actions, he still followed Meng Xingzhou's instructions and conveyed Meng Xingzhou's orders, and it was necessary to protect Sheng Guo'er's safety.

After Meng Xingzhou received the news, he nodded with satisfaction.

In his hands, there was enough evidence to prove that the two guards were involved with the Zhao family, so it was impossible for the Zhao family not to show their stuff.

"Zhao Changfeng, wait! I'll make you regret it! \"

Meng Xingzhou muttered in a low voice.

There was a hint of gloom in his eyes, and in the depths of his eyes, there was a cold glow.

......

\"My lord, are you really sure that the woman next to Meng Xingzhou is Miss Sheng? \"

The young man stood in front of a middle-aged man and asked respectfully.

\"That's right, it's Sheng Guo'er, you personally lead someone to follow her, once she and Meng Xingzhou are alone, you will tell me the news, you know?" \"

The middle-aged man nodded and commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes, subordinates obey. \"

"Remember, don't let Sheng Guo'er find you. \"

The middle-aged man reminded.

"Yes. \"

The young man answered.

The middle-aged man bowed slightly, then waved his hand, and let the young man retreat.

Not long after the young man left, a dark shadow burst in through the window.

"Master, we have sprinkled poison powder on those guards in accordance with your instructions. \"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction.

"Well done, next, I'll let you assassinate them." \"

\"The subordinates understand, please rest assured. \"

The shadow nodded respectfully, then vanished.
