If he had known that Cui Dadu had gone elsewhere to entertain the distinguished guests, he would have been able to have a drink with him and join in the fun.

There is often excitement, but the excitement related to Governor Cui is rare.

The envoy of Longyou Jiedu glanced at the sky, and it was obviously too late to catch up with this excitement now, so he had to take people here to rest and wait for Cui Jing to come back.

Fifty miles away, in a military camp lit with torches, a banquet for Meng Lieyang had been prepared.

Several generals who had just finished their affairs were rushing to the tent where the banquet was held, and someone on the road swallowed saliva: "...... Thanks to the blessings of your guests tonight, we can also get drunk with alcohol! ”

Gong Dou said: "What do you think, there is no wine at all!" ”

"I clearly saw Mr. Jiao hugging several jars of wine today!"

"It's ready, but the guest says he doesn't drink!" Gong Dou also regretted slightly: "Jiao Junshi asked someone to take it back and hide it again." ”

"How can Jiao Junshi be stingy......"

A few people regretted it for a while, and after thinking about it, some people also said, "...... It's also a good thing not to drink, and this distinguished guest doesn't want to break our military regulations. ”

"It is worthy of the people around the regular envoys, or do you say that people have to be reused by the regular envoys?"

Someone lowered his voice and said, "What's this called?" It's not a family, it's not a door...... Born to be a family with our Xuan Ce Army! ”

Speaking of this, someone answered in a mysterious whisper: "I look at this gentleman surnamed Meng...... These days, I have been looking at most of our governors, and they seem to be looking at their sons-in-law openly and secretly. ”

"What's the matter, the old man saw that his son-in-law was here?" Gong Dou glared: "But this is not an old man." ”

"It's really inappropriate to say that the old man is ......" A military general recalled the state of Mr. Meng, racked his brains, and finally came up with a more appropriate description: "At first glance, it looks more like ...... The housekeeper of a large family looks at each other, and the uncle is here! ”

It has to be the kind of calm and shrewd, insightful, noble and decent...... The identity is equivalent to the housekeeper of half the master!

After his description, everyone felt that their understanding of this matter was clearer, as if they had seen the picture of most of their own governors being strictly scrutinized and evaluated by the other party from their bodies to their gestures.

But if they change their homes, they will not feel so pressured, after all, most of their own governors can be called impeccable, but when they think that the head is also impeccable, and they have rejected the governor of the regular festival, everyone can't help but get nervous.

Hey, the door of a good family has never been so easy to enter, even if it is a metropolitan governor.

Therefore, tonight's feast must muster up 120,000 spirits to serve that distinguished guest.

Everyone summed up that there was no wine at the banquet, and there was a slight shortage, and there could be no more music...... So he quickly decided that one person would beat the drum and one person would dance, so as to add to the fun.

Gong Dou didn't have much talent, and when he arrived in the tent, he waited for an opportunity to squeeze into a position adjacent to Meng Lie and sit down, taking care of the needs of the guests at the banquet.

Gong Dou's care is mostly reflected in the matter of pouring tea.

Tea was used instead of wine during the banquet, and whenever Meng Lie put down the teacup, Gong Dou diligently filled the tea for him.

The tea cup is always in a full state, while Gong Dou is always in a full blood combat state.

Sensing the eyes that were always staring at the tea cup in his hand, Meng Lie wanted to speak several times, only to feel that such enthusiasm was somewhat unbearable, and he even didn't dare to take the cup.

But Meng Lie also knew that this was the reason why he paid special attention to it.

And this attention, not only because he brought seven million guan this time, but also because of his identity as the owner of the family, and-

Meng Lie raised his eyes slightly and looked at the young man at the head of the main seat.

After hearing some news today, he temporarily decided to leave for Jiangdu tomorrow, and this young man immediately rushed back to make a trip for him.

With the cheerful and beautiful drums and the heroic dancing of the generals, the lights in the tent flickered, but the young man's eyebrows and eyes were still clearly visible, and this sense of clarity that was different from ordinary people came from the excellent bone contours and from the unique clear and noble atmosphere.

Excellent skin appearance, excellent bones, excellent gas state - Meng Lie nodded with satisfaction in his heart.

Although appearance is an external object, ability and inner cultivation are more important, but it is undeniable that the presence of a good-looking person can not only be pleasing to the eye, soothe the mood, but also increase appetite, which is a must-have at home.

Meng Lie was indeed secretly observing Cui Jing during this period of time.

Cui Jing's name, Meng Lie was like thunder when he was in Beijing, and because the other party was in charge of the Xuan Ce Army, he naturally paid more attention, but those understandings only stayed on the surface.

And this time, for Meng Lie, he wanted to take a good look at the person who made His Royal Highness "willing to owe each other", what are the outstanding features.

Although Meng Lie doesn't like to socialize with people in the deepest part of his heart, he doesn't like it but he is not good at it - many years of experience in business make him very knowledgeable, and the experience of being a secret guard makes him very good at observing things from the subtleties.

Meng Lie's observation was not undisguised, but Cui Jing had been marching for many years and had a keen awareness that was different from ordinary people, even if there was noise in the tent at this moment, he could also detect Meng Lie's gaze.

Meng Lie has been staying here for more than a month, this gaze is no stranger to Cui Jing, but it still makes him nervous and cramped, although the surface has not been revealed, but the heart has long been uneasy.

These days, every time Meng Lie is obscurely observed, when resting in the evening, Cui Jing often suddenly sits up and ponders whether his words and deeds are inappropriate during the day - he has never been so cautious in his life, and his body has become a bone of introspection.

At this time, Yuan Xiang, who was sitting at the bottom, raised his glass and said goodbye to his own governor and his comrades.

Looking at his subordinates who began to say goodbye, Cui Jing felt that this was also a farewell in another sense, because he still never said that he would let Yuan Xiang go back to Jiangdu with him this time......

But everyone is generally used to it.

Everyone used tea instead of wine to send off Yuanxiang, and some generals coaxed: "...... Yuanxiang naturally wants to go back together, General Yu said that Yuanxiang is the marriage of our governor! ”

The military general laughed out loud as he spoke, and quietly paid attention to Meng Lie's reaction.

However, Meng Lie did not react, and even took a sip of tea.

As far as Meng Lie is concerned, although he is secretly watching, he does not have the right to speak for his highness, so it is naturally not suitable to show any clear attitude.

Seeing this, Vice General Yu said to the general: "...... I think you've drunk too much! What nonsense! ”

The general was busy making two delirious drunken states, but then thought about it...... It's not alcohol at all!

But he could only play hard, and said with a dry smile: "...... I haven't touched the tea for a long time, and I drank it suddenly, this tea is also intoxicating haha! ”

Everyone around laughed around the circle, and they quickly revealed this.

Chang Suian was a little frightened when he heard this, what kind of jokes are these people making, Governor Cui Dadu won't be angry, right?

Thinking like this, Chang Suian couldn't help but quietly glance at Cui Jing's demeanor, and saw that the person did not show annoyance and cold faces, but only a little uncomfortable, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

These people are really fearless and ignorant...... At the hibiscus flower banquet, Cui Dadu Governor was able to act at all.

Chang Suian sighed a little worriedly in his heart - I don't know when this absurd rumor caused by acting will end.

Chang Sui'an was worried, and also toasted Yuanxiang with a cup of tea.

The number of courtesies was so, and he followed with a salute to Meng Lie.

Meng Lie picked up the teacup and nodded slightly to Chang Suian.

Looking at Meng Lie, there is still a trace of incomprehension in Chang Sui's peace of mind.

At first, Chang Suian was very surprised when he saw Meng Lie in the army, he couldn't understand why the Meng Dong family in the Jingshi Dengtai Building was the one responsible for escorting the money and food, and why would he do things for Ning Ning?

Chang Sui'an was shocked, an idea popped up in his heart, and he endured it for several days, but he couldn't help but open his mouth to Meng Lie to test it, his tentative words were not clever, so he almost asked Meng Lie directly: [Could it be that you are Ning Ning's pro-father? 】

Since learning that her sister is likely to have figured out her true life experience, Chang Suian has been guessing her sister's father every day and night.

Meng Lie naturally denied it.

Chang Suian breathed a sigh of relief, and asked sideways: [Then do you know who is Ning Ning's pro-father? 】

Meng Lie also shook his head.

At this point, Chang Suian tried to ask about the reason why Meng Dong's family was doing things for his sister.

Meng Lie replied: [Because of General Chang. 】

——Coax Lao Chang's son in the name of Lao Chang, and explain it to Lao Chang if he is in trouble afterwards, which is very reasonable and effortless.

Chang Sui'an listened to it half-understood, but seeing that Meng Lie had no intention of saying more, he had no choice but to dispel the idea of delving.

Therefore, until this moment, when Chang Suian looked at Meng Lie, there was still a puzzle in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong.

This feast, which can be seen to be quite laborious, did not disperse until late at night.

After the banquet was over, Meng Lie and Cui Jing were nowhere outside the tent and talked alone for a while.

"What do you have to say about Governor Cui, or do you need to ask Meng to bring it back to Jiangdu and hand it over to your lord?"

Meng Lie is now walking outside, and he is used to using the surname Meng, but for those who already know his identity, there is no need to hide it.

Cui Jing: "Thank you, no. ”

Hearing this simple refusal, Meng Lie turned his head slightly to look, only to hear the young man explain: "Ten days ago, I had sent a letter to Jiangdu. ”

Meng Lie was silent for a moment, ten days ago, not a month ago, it means that the other party originally thought about letting him take him back to Jiangdu, but seeing that he was slow to move, he finally chose to send another letter.

He did walk a little slower, and the heart of this Cui Dadu Governor who wanted to deliver the letter was indeed a little anxious.

Meng Lie nodded, looked at the young man in front of him who was outstanding enough in every aspect, and asked Zhengse, "Does Governor Cui have a heart for my lord?" ”

This is undoubtedly a very blunt inquiry.

Meng Lie asked, and even the young man in front of the meeting was unusually stunned.

After a moment, the young man with his eyebrows sinking into the sea like a star said one word: "Yes." ”

The voice was not heavy, but it was unwavering.

After looking at each other for a moment, Meng Lie smiled slightly, nodded approvingly, and said, "Governor Cui has a good eye. ”

Another sentence of approval: "If I can get my lord to treat me differently, Cui Dadudu's luck is also very good." ”

It is true that this young man has many advantages that others cannot match, but for Meng Lie, the greatest advantages are these two points.

The biggest difference between Meng Lie and Chang Kuo and others is that he only values his master in his heart - in comparison, the order of good and evil in this world, right and wrong, or the worldly standards for judging a person's merits and inferiority, are all empty things for him.

Cui Jing also smiled: "You and I see the same thing." ”

In this life, he also thinks that his vision and luck are the best.

Hearing Cui Jing's words, Meng Lie laughed, and this smile was more real than Fang Cai.

The matter of the Heavenly Maiden Tower, Cui Jing is the one in the know, and Meng Lie also knows. And when he was in Jiangdu, Wu Jue also told him in private that Cui Jing broke the formation alone in order to cover up his identity in front of the saint for His Royal Highness.

For this alone, Meng Lie's impression of Cui Jing was very good.

At this time, the two talked and laughed, and Meng Lie added two points of satisfaction and appreciation in his heart.

But he only asked to confirm Cui Jing's intentions, and did not tell him to "treat His Highness well", or force the other party to make an oath, etc., which are useless and unnecessary.

Her Highness doesn't need anyone to swear loyalty to her.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if this Cui Jing moves other thoughts in the future, it will be his own loss, not His Highness.

If the wavering of the other party displeases or hurts His Highness, or threatens His Highness in the future, His Highness can be imprisoned or killed if he wishes.

Meng Lie, who has never been soft-hearted, has too bloody and unreasonable thoughts in his heart, even if the two seem to be talking happily at the moment.

But this worst plan did not affect Meng Lie's sincere farewell to Cui Jing at this moment: "The wind and sand are about to rise, Governor Cui Dadu, please take care." ”

Cui Jing raised his hand: "Meng Dongjia also take care." ”

He knew what Meng Lie's phrase "the wind and sand will rise" meant, and the Beijing master summoned all the vassal kings and jiedu envoys to Beijing, and the situation would soon change greatly.

Ten days ago, when Cui Jing sent a message to Jiangdu, he had not heard the news, but at this moment, he really wanted to convey it to Menglie——

"Please convey a message to her for me." Under the silver moon and yellow sand, the young man's eyes seemed to contain the power to stabilize manpower: "Cui Jing is here, please rest assured." ”

The wind lifted up the dust and sand, and with the aftermath of the young man's words, it drifted away to the south by the night.

In Huainan Road in August, the smell of harvest wafts in the air.

Recently, everyone in Jiangdu has been busy with the autumn harvest, even Chang Suining is no exception.

She is a festival envoy, although she does not have to go to the field to harvest and work in person, but what awaits her is the autumn festival.

As the old saying goes, the major events of a country are in the worship and Rong - the soldiers determine the world, and the sacrifices are calm.

This year is a harvest year worth celebrating, and this sacrifice to thank God for giving a good year has greatly inspired the hearts of people in Jiangdu and even Huainan Province.

After finishing the autumn festival, Chang Suining didn't have a moment of leisure, and spent almost every day in the study to discuss with everyone.

In comparison, Chang Kuo is much more leisurely, but he is just a human being, but his heart is not idle at all-he has been worrying about one thing, or one person, recently.

Good night everyone!
