When the retainer who opened the door saw that the person who came was sensible, he immediately smiled on his face and said, "The minister will report it." Dare to ask...... Childe's honorable name! The retainer glanced at Mangshen and saw that it was a scholar dressed as a scholar, so he called him "Childe".

Mang Shen said: "Captain Liang sent Mang Shen to return to the country under the order of General Xinlingjun!" ”

When the retainer heard this, his face changed in fright, and he hurriedly said: "The minister is ready to report!" He handed out the copper coin that he hadn't had time to put in his arms. Meng Shen smiled and pushed the retainer's hand back, and said, "There is Lao Zun!" ”

The retainers didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly turned the wall and reported to the elders: "The people of Mangfu, the envoy of Xinling Jun has entered the city!" The old man was also a little nervous when he heard this, so he quietly walked around to the hall and said a few words to the guard. Hearing this, Shou was also stunned for a moment, and then said, "Who?" …… Please come to the banquet! ”

The old man retreated, went around to the door, bowed and said: "My lord has a guest, I don't have time to greet him, the old minister respectfully invites you on the orders of the lord!" ”

Manshen said: "It's okay to enter the hatchback for the time being." ”

The old man said: "How can this be reasonable? Please take a seat! ”

Manshen came in by himself, and turned around the wall accompanied by the old man. There were already two rows of seats in front of the lower steps of the hall, and the sudden appearance of Manshen attracted the attention of the people in the seat. Mang Shen stopped in front of the Xiao wall and saluted: "Captain Liang envoy Mang Shen will return to the country by the order of General Xinling Jun!" ”

The old man replied: "Please send the military envoy to the front of the stairs!" ”

The two of them arrived at the front of the stairs, and Mang Shen saluted again: "Mang Shen, under the command of Captain Liang, will return to the country by the order of General Xinlingjun!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was an exclamation in the hall, and then the sound of the wine lord falling to the ground was heard. There was silence for a long time, and a restrained voice came: "Welcome the military envoy!" “

Manshen turned sideways and stood at the foot of the stairs. A group of people gradually walked out of the hall, on one side was the guard and the lieutenant, and on the other side, it was the son of Liang Wei and the lieutenant!

The first place in the confinement was guarded, and everyone came down the stairs together. Confined and said: "The major general is here in person, and please take a seat." ”

Mangshen said: "I prefer to return to the country under the order of the general Xinling Jun, so that Yu Shoujun." Five companions are now in the pavilion. ”

Before he could reply, Liang Wei Gongzi was already in a hurry to speak: "Where is my father now?" ”

Mang Shen was startled when he heard this, looked up to look for prestige, and saw that it was Liang Weigongzi, and there were lieutenants behind him.

Liang Wei's family and the Mang's family were in the same dynasty, and the Mang's family was a guest secretary and had many military divisions, and they had contacts with the military family Liang Weifu, and they had a lot of secret grievances. In addition to the battle of Captain Liang this time, Gongzi Liang Wei was also forced to lead the army out of the city, all thanks to Mangmao. Unexpectedly, it was said that it was good to lead 10,000 soldiers out of the city, but Mang Mao did not act in many ways, and stood by and watched, causing Liang Weifu to be anxious, costing money and effort, and finally only more than 2,000 people, and they were not subordinate to each other, and the golden drum banners were not complete, and they did not form a march, and they were really a rabble, so anxious that the lieutenants vomited blood. In addition to being frightened, he had to follow Mangmao's instructions and lead the army to the prison.

The people of the Weifu were rectified on the way, and they only had a team of 100 people to fight, and they stayed with Liang Weigongzi as a guard. The rest of the military guards were temporarily organized into twenty-two pawns, and the pawn uncles were appointed, and the superior officers were all absent, and the junior officers were assigned by the pawn uncle. But there were only ten flags taken out of the city, and they were still small flags, not only did they not have the commander's banner, but these twenty-three pawns alone were also insufficient. The weapons were only carried with them, and there was no baggage, almost a remnant.

At the beginning, Mang Mao said that Mang Yin was in prison, but in fact, it was just speculation, not true; Ordering the soldiers outside the city to drive to the confinement was really a matter of urgency, not the result of careful consideration, and it was not decided with the confinement guard and the lieutenant in advance. When I first returned to China, I passed by Confinement, and only let Confinement Shou have a good grasp of the people's army, and the camera moved to the girder, and there was no feeling of martial arts. When this force marched towards the Great Wall, the garrison had already learned that the military and police outside the Great Wall had been lifted, and the battle had shifted to the south of Daliang. The main beam is in the first line, and his crisis is almost completely resolved. When Liang Wei Gongzi led these more than 2,000 people to the vicinity of the prison, the gate of the prison was closed, refusing to accept it, and he was unwilling to receive grain and straw. Fortunately, the lieutenant was well versed in court affairs, and personally entered the city, and said that he was ordered by Mangmao to move the guards and lieutenants, and it was delayed until now that he opened the city to welcome Liang Wei Gongzi and others into the city. Fang was at the banquet, and Manshen actually arrived.

Yu Zhongshou also didn't have time to discuss with others, and felt that Liang Wei Gongzi had come on Mangmao's order, and there was no obstacle to meeting Mangshen, so he blurted out and invited Mangshen to the table. Unexpectedly, when Liang Wei heard the name of Mangshen, he reacted strongly and almost lost his temper; If it weren't for the lieutenants, the situation would be almost out of control. The lieutenant and lieutenant were very surprised: Could it be that Liang Weifu was not ordered by Mangmao, but was forced by Mangmao? If that's the case, you're not going to be pleasing to both ends.

Mangshen was a few years older, and he could still calm down, and hurriedly saluted the two again: "Chen Mangshen has seen Gongzi and Wei Lao!" Captain Liang contracted an illness on the way, saw that he was recuperating in the barracks, and he was getting better day by day, and today he has helped the sick director of Xinlingjun, the son of Zuo Wei. ”

Liang Wei Gongzi was still angry, and it was useless for the lieutenants to hint again and again, so he had to step forward and say: "The ministers serve our son, on the orders of General Mang, lead thousands of soldiers to the middle of the prison to get food, and meet with the eldest son Mang Yin every day, that is, to serve in front of the battle." ”

Seeing that the matter was right, Mang Shen saluted again: "Xinling Jun knows that the prince is personally risking the front, and his heart is very unbearable, and the special ministers and the gentlemen of the king and the subordinates of our house will return to the country, and in addition to the king's order, they will definitely keep the prince safe." ”

Seeing that this matter was not simple, he said, "This is not a place for discussion, and please go to court." ”

Mangshen said to the guard: "I am waiting for the five people to go with you, and I am the king of Xinling and the mansion, and I will see it in the hall and settle the carriage and horses." May the king keep the summons. ”

Yu Zhongshou remembered the first thing Mang Shen said when he saw him, but before he could answer, he was interrupted by Liang Wei Gongzi. Now that Mangshen mentioned it again, it was obviously more important, so he turned to beckon and called the old man, and said, "Let's bring a few stables to the hall and wait for the military envoys, chariots and horses, and make sure they are ready." ”

Manshen saluted the elders of the family and said: "I prefer to wait for the car to be six rides, all of them are horses, and they are very laborious." ”

The old man said: "Respect! Said to the guard: "The three or five sons under the stable, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it, and I dare to ask the second and third sons in the army to help." ”

The lieutenant said: "Don't work." There are also one or two stables in the house, although they are unbearable, they can be driven. Then he summoned his entourage from the hall and ordered him to go to the governor's mansion to lead the stables to the hall to wait for the carriage and horses. Again and again, where the nobles are, they must do their best and not slack off.

Taking advantage of the lieutenant's efforts to explain his subordinates, he said to Tsukasa Zai, who was serving as the guest minister: "You should be the military envoy." ”

Bin Xiang said: "What should I do?" If it is also, it should be placed below; If the guest also, when placed in the west. ”

Confined to the road: "The military envoy is not one person, they are all nobles, and they should not be taken lightly." and set up another six seats in the west. The guest saluted and left.

Settle properly, stick to it, and then invite Mangshen to the court. He turned back to salute everyone under the stairs and said, "The military envoy is from afar, the etiquette is not good, and the kings forgive their sins!" The lieutenant behind him, the Liang lieutenant and Mangshen also saluted together. During the banquet, everyone rose and fell, and said in unison: "How dare you! ”

The guest who had arranged the matter of setting up the table returned to his position and said in a loud voice: "The master is respectful!" "There was someone next to him who offered a wine lord, and he scooped out the wine from the honor. During the banquet, everyone had already left the table, lined up on both sides, and stepped forward to sing in turn. On the master's side, Liang Wei Gongzi, Liang Weigongzi, Wei Wei, and Mangshen stepped forward in turn, and entered the hall after drinking. When Mangshen entered the hall, the seats in the hall had been paved, and the tables, tripods, and utensils in front of the table were all ready.

The singing outside the hall did not last long, after all, it was wartime, and the people who invited to accompany the guests were all high-ranking officers in the city, but there were not many of them: the standing garrison in the city was only one school and two battalions, so it was impossible to invite even the pawns. In addition, everyone can see the situation in front of the steps, and the military envoy has this kind of identity, and he will crush people to death wherever he goes; And the Liang Wei family and the Mang family obviously have a Liang son. Although the free liquor was delicious, it ...... It's better to leave as soon as possible! It's like an appointment, everyone drinks the wine and says goodbye. The hall was quiet, only the retainers were withdrawing and moving. In the hall, despite the three rounds of wine toasted by the guards and the captains, the atmosphere still seemed dull and gradually quieted down.

Liang Wei Gongzi, who was sitting in the guest chief, still did not hold his breath, and avoided the seat and prostrated himself and said: "As for the father, I hope that the son will explain it in detail to comfort his children and endure it!" ”

Mangshen, who was at the end of the guest seat, put his hands on his knees, leaned over slightly and said, "Respect! After leaving the city, Captain Liang suddenly saw the flames of Kaifeng, worried about state affairs, screamed, and fell to the ground. On the way, pay for the businessman Jia Lu Bo Kunzhong. - Lu Bo and others arrived with Captain Liang. In the barracks, Captain Liang and the son of Xinling Jun saw each other, and their expressions were very withered, but fortunately, thanks to the mediation of Mr. Zhongyue, a subordinate of the son, gradually improved. This morning, Captain Liang has sat in the tent, believing that the prince of Lingjun ordered the chief military officer. ”

Manshen looked calm, his words were methodical, concise and to the point, and although his words were full of protection, it was obvious that he put the responsibility on Captain Liang himself. Liang Weigongzi's face was uncertain, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. The lieutenant had a calm face, listening to Mangshen's brief introduction, trying to hear something from the words. After Mang Shen finished speaking, Liang Wei Gongzi did not continue to speak, the hall was a little silent, and the captain said: "All the princes went out of the city with Liang Wei, where are they now?" ”

Mang Shen's face changed, and he said: "The nine sons of the Wei family were all killed, and their bodies have returned to Daliang a few days ago. ”

Liang Wei Gongzi was surprised again and said, "Gongzi can't wait for more than ten generations, but nine people are in trouble?" ”

Manshen said: "Yes. The ninth prince was ordered by the king of the Ling to go to the garden to urge food, but he met a thief on the way, so he was unspeakable. ”

Liang Wei Gongzi was speechless again. The lieutenant said: "Who is the thief, has he ever been punished? ”

Meng Shen said: "The opportunity to fight the horse is not allowed to be launched, and the thief has not yet been captured." - Please Captain Yu Liang, teach to focus on military affairs. The last sentence blocked the lieutenant's further questioning.

Yu Shou felt that the style of his words was wrong, so he quickly changed the topic and asked, "The son returns to China, and he is in prison, there must be an order?" ”

Mangshen said: "Mr. Che of the Mansion said, Liang Wei's son is diligent and hardworking, and he braved the arrows and stones, and he went out of the battle angrily, and Liang Wei mourned, and Xinling Jun was uneasy. I also heard that my brother Yin was in charge of the military outside the city, and he would also stick to it and know where it was. It is ordered to be under the door of Mr. Jin and Mr. Cao Er, and Mr. Hui Fuche and Mr. Xiao Er, who are supported by the army and serve on the way. It will be that Liang Wei's son is safe, and the armies will be rewarded. ”

Yu Shou was shocked and said, "The ministers don't hear where the eldest son is!" ”
