Chapter 23: Old Friends

Li Daqing and Li Qing are holding Meng Yuanhua hostage, although Li Daqing is joking with Meng Yuanhua, he looks very relaxed, but when facing the flankers in front of him, this is actually extremely vigilant;

"I almost forgot, I am Zhuang Feng's guard;" Li Daqing was extremely cautious, this Li Qing saw the person who was called Hong Ye by Meng Yuanhua next to him, and moved his hand to the back of his waist, and at the same time said this to the pretending to be relaxed;

Perhaps, there was only Li Qing's innocuous words, but it made that Hong Ye stunned for a moment, and his hand was loosened, and it was natural that his hands were crossed over his lower abdomen, and his fingers were bent into a somewhat awkward appearance;

For Hong Ye's action, Li Qing couldn't help but frown a little, and looked at Li Daqing at the same time, and Li Daqing also discovered Hong Ye's action, while Li Qing looked at him, Li Daqing also looked at Li Qing, and seemed to have the same doubts;

Because of Hong Ye's action, Li Daqing and Li Qing brothers were extremely familiar, because it used to be the standard action of the guards of the Zhuang compound when they were standing;

Looking at Hong Ye's natural appearance, it seems to be a long-term habit, with this long-term habit, it has to make people suspect that this Hong Ye used to be the guard of the Zhuang family, but at this time he was loyal to Meng Yuanhua, which is exactly where Li Daqing and Li Qing are confused;

"Master Hong, it's okay, Young Master Zhuang wants to see this seat, don't be too nervous;" Meng Yuanhua actually discovered Hong Ye's movements, and after being stopped by Li Qing's voice, he naturally let go of his hand there, but he didn't dare to look at her, as if he was a little guilty;

In this regard, Meng Yuanhua naturally knew why, so he also told him there, because this person who was called Hong Ye by Meng Yuanhua was called Wang Puhong, and he used to be the guard of the Zhuang family's compound;

As the guard of the Zhuang family, ten years after the collapse of the Zhuang family, as soon as he heard that Zhuang Feng was here, then this Hong Ye subconsciously obeyed the orders of the Zhuang family, so he had that habitual action;

However, while Hong Ye was doing this, he also thought that he was already loyal to Meng Yuanhua, and in this way, his habitual actions seemed to violate his oath of allegiance to Meng Yuanhua, which made him feel a little uneasy;

However, Meng Yuanhua will not care, but has to be appeased; if nothing else, this Wang Puhong can be used by her now, if you want to calculate it seriously, it is still Zhuang Feng's order more than ten years ago, he is just executing;

More than ten years ago, Zhuang Feng destroyed the three major families in one fell swoop, but before Zhuang Feng had not risen back then, he became friendly with the Yan family, which was once one of the three major families, or had some inexplicable emotional entanglements with Yan Nan, the head of the Yan family;

Perhaps, it is precisely because of the inexplicable and inconspicuous emotional entanglements with Yan Nan back then, after Zhuang Feng unified Jiangzhou, the former Yan family did not actually fall, but surrendered to Zhuang Feng;

And she, Meng Yuanhua, was just a little girl back then, and she had never been involved in these things, but Meng Yuanhua's brother Meng Bin was the number one general of the Yan family and Yan Nan's confidant;

Later, Zhuang Feng collapsed, the Yan family was also affected, and Yan Nan also disappeared; in the end, after several battles, the power of the Yan family fell into the hands of Meng Yuanhua, and there is today's Meng Yuanhua;

And Wang Puhong was one of the guards sent by Zhuang Feng to the Yan family to be responsible for Yan Nan's safety; after some battles, this Wang Puhong still guarded his duties and was responsible for Yan Nan's safety;

Although Yan Nan was missing, this Wang Puhong did not receive an order to go back, and because of Yan Nan's disappearance, he felt that it was his own dereliction of duty, and he didn't know how to face Zhuang Feng;

In the end, under the persuasion of Meng Yuanhua, she stayed, and because of Wang Puhong's special status, Meng Yuanhua is also extremely respectful; she has always been a confidant; of course, this is also the ability that she followed Yan Nan back then, and she had seen the ability of these guards sent by the Zhuang family, and she wanted to take over the power left by Yan Nan, so she naturally had to rely on Wang Puhong;

For Meng Yuanhua, although Yan Nan is not her own sister, she is already a relative, so she still wants to keep this family business and wait for Yan Nan to come back that day; however, so many years have passed, and Yan Nan has not the slightest news;

To this day, Meng Yuanhua received the news of Zhuang Feng's return, and he really couldn't believe it, but it was indeed true, which made Meng Yuanhua so happy that he was going crazy;

In fact, with a woman like Meng Yuanhua, in such a chaotic situation after the collapse of the Zhuang family, she was able to roughly preserve the Yan family's family business, and only she knew the bitterness and tears;

In the past ten years, Meng Yuanhua has been hidden behind the scenes, and a lot of things can be seen;

In ten years, she has to keep this family business and hide behind the scenes; in addition to the fact that she can't go to the front in the name of the Yan family, which will only cause more trouble, she also has to solve a lot of affairs that cannot be seen outside; it is really difficult for a woman, or ten years ago when she was just a girl, to face such bloody things;

Of course, Meng Yuanhua is responsible for these things alone, but he is really tired, and now that he is good, Zhuang Feng, the bastard, is finally back;

Meng Yuanhua and Zhuang Feng are actually quite familiar, of course, it is also because of the inexplicable emotional entanglements between Zhuang Feng and Yan Nan back then, and she Yuan Hua has always been regarded as a little sister by Yan Nan, and naturally knows many things that others don't know, and at the same time, they also understand Zhuang Feng, and the relationship between the two is also familiar;

Of course, it's just familiar, because Meng Yuanhua was just a little girl back then, and she wasn't deeply involved in the world, so she wouldn't have too much intersection with Zhuang Feng; however, in the past ten years, the person she thought about the most was Zhuang Feng, and she didn't know why;

Perhaps, it was because it was really difficult for her to hold up so much alone, and in her impression back then, Zhuang Feng was a man who could hold up the sky, so how good it would be to think of such a person to support her when she was tired;

Of course, Meng Yuanhua has supported the Yan family's family business in the past ten years, and it is not in vain;

In this way, when he received the news of Zhuang Feng's return, although he was so happy that he was about to go crazy, he also quickly calmed down;

There have been too many things that have happened in the past ten years, and Zhuang Feng suddenly came back, so we have to figure out what the situation is;

With Meng Yuanhua's understanding of Zhuang Feng, he can roughly guess what Zhuang Feng does;

Perhaps, the person who always thinks of this person when he is most lonely has the greatest influence on his people;

For example, Meng Yuanhua, when Yan Nan disappeared suddenly, she felt that the sky had fallen, but she had come to the present, among which she thought most about Zhuang Feng instead of Yan Nan; although Yan Nan treated her like a sister, but it was Zhuang Feng who had the deepest influence on her;

In other words, there were some unknown things back then, but Meng Yuanhua knew;

For example, Yan Nan took over the family business left by their old man, and the head of one of the three major families in Jiangzhou who seemed to have infinite scenery, but as a woman, she didn't like these;

Later, when she met Zhuang Feng, she could finally have such a person to accompany her, just to accompany her, not the head of one of the three major families;

Perhaps, Meng Yuanhua has seen these things, maybe Meng Yuanhua didn't quite understand it at that time, but when she took over the Yan family, she also experienced the process that Yan Nan had experienced, and finally understood something;

Who can say things in the world clearly, perhaps because of that common experience, people with that common understanding, Meng Yuanhua's style of acting is getting closer and closer to Zhuang Feng, but she herself did not realize this, until one day Hong Ye said that, she is becoming more and more like a young master, this Meng Yuanhua reacted, only this reaction, but she still had to support herself;

It was because of this experience that Meng Yuanhua guessed what Zhuang Feng was going to do, and the facts proved that her guess was not bad, because when she brought someone over to help Zhuang Feng, Zhuang Feng was really here;

As for why Meng Yuanhua wanted to bring someone over to help Zhuang Feng, she couldn't say this herself, anyway, when Zhuang Feng came back, she had to help the farm;

Because Meng Yuanhua has been hidden behind the scenes, this is going to appear to the Zhuang Feng Gang, so the follow-up shock caused by it is very serious;

There has been no big power in Jiangzhou for ten years, but the Yan family has been preserved, so what is the consequence?

It is not difficult to imagine that the three major families in the past are now the largest families in Jiangzhou; how will the other forces in Jiangzhou react to this?

Meng Yuanhua didn't know this, but he still came to Zhuang Feng to help the field; as for what the reason is, and what the consequences will be, we have to wait for Zhuang Feng to help the scene first; this is also what Zhuang Feng once said: "If you want to do something, don't think too much, because the more you think about it too comprehensively, the more you dare not do it, and in the end you can't do anything; it is better to do it first, and then solve the problem of consequences;"

If you have to find a reason for Meng Yuanhua to help Zhuang Feng without thinking about the consequences, then it should be what this Zhuang Feng once said;

It's just that Meng Yuanhua came over to help him Zhuang Feng, but let Zhuang Feng's guards hold him hostage, which made her feel very funny;

If a person is lonely for too long, and meets the people he used to be, then he will have less to worry about, because time has sharpened everything, so that many things will no longer be so careful;

Similarly, Meng Yuanhua also didn't care about Wang Puhong's reaction when he heard Li Qing say that he was Zhuang's bodyguard, and even she wanted to talk to Wang Puhong about a few idle words, such as saying that Zhuang Feng was back, and you still don't believe it, but now believe it;

In fact, Wang Puhong really thought so; although Zheng Xingbing went to participate in Zhuang Feng's summons and confirmed that Zhuang Feng had returned to the capital, this Wang Puhong was skeptical; he even dissuaded Meng Yuanhua there, and talked about who's tricks and so on;

Now, at last, it is confirmed, because at such a time, or after the collapse of the Zhuang family, it is not a good thing to talk to the guard who professes to be the Zhuang family, it will kill people;

But this Li Qing said it easily, and according to Wang Puhong's observation, the two people who held Meng Yuanhua hostage were indeed the behavior styles he was once familiar with;

According to the rules of the Zhuang family, there is a world of difference between ordinary guards and the guards of the head of the family; therefore, this Wang Puhong will not know every guard, and guards like Li Daqing will not know every guard;

Especially the momentum revealed in Li Daqing's relaxed words, a very relaxed appearance, but the meaning of the words is that they are the guards of the Zhuang family, and if they want to snatch people from their hands, that is, they are looking for death;

It is precisely because of this that Wang Puhong has such a knee-jerk reaction, because he is too familiar with these things, and at the same time, he has not missed them for a moment in the past ten years;

For Zhuang Feng, everyone seems to have different feelings, but under Li Daqing's strong self-confidence in such ease, no one dares to have any other thoughts there;

Wang Puhong didn't, and neither did Zheng Xingbing;

Especially Zheng Xingbing, he is a person who followed Meng Yuanhua later, but he is extremely useful; in this way, he and Wang Puhong can also be regarded as equals; at the same time, because he once served in the army, he has such a bold energy, so these two people can be regarded as quite able to talk together, and they can be regarded as friends;

In this way, of course, when Wang Puhong trained this group of flankers, Zheng Xingbing also had a deeper understanding of the Zhuang family, because before this, he had only heard about it, and only at this time could he be regarded as somewhat understanding;

If nothing else, just because of the strength of these flanks, in the eyes of people like Zheng Xingbing who had been in the army, this is more elite than the army he served, and the only missing thing is that the number is too small, and when Zheng Xingbing knows that the Zhuang clan once did not even have the numerical shortcomings in his mouth, he was truly shocked;

Perhaps, Zheng Xingbing was born poor, and he didn't have a good life after retiring; he finally set foot in the rivers and lakes, and then Meng Yuanhua valued him; however, Zheng Xingbing was a person who was very serious about everything, including everything he learned in the army;

In this way, he understands the power of these flanks, if there are no more shortcomings in quantity, then this turbid world should also be cleaned up;

And when he went to see Zhuang Feng, he had a lot of thoughts, but he was not the kind of person who dared to admit that he knew others after seeing him once, but he became more and more curious about Zhuang Feng;

From what he heard, to what he saw, to what he saw with his own eyes, this made him feel differently, but he couldn't explain it clearly;

However, judging from Wang Puhong and the two people who call themselves Zhuang's guards, this Zhuang Feng made him feel something different, what it was at this time, it was not clear at this time;

Regarding what Wang Puhong and Zheng Xingbing were thinking, Meng Yuanhua didn't have much to pay attention to at this time, at this time, she just wanted to see Zhuang Feng, an "old friend" who had not seen him for ten years;

Although Wang Puhong and Zheng Xingbing were nervously on guard with the flankers, they also gave up their plans to take over people, if nothing else, because Wang Puhong's admiration for Zhuang Feng when he trained them was enough to keep them from moving;

What's more, even the leaders Zheng Xingbing and Wang Puhong didn't move, so the others did their duty and never moved without orders;

There was no obstacle, Li Daqing and Li Qing held Meng Yuanhua hostage and passed smoothly, and when they saw Zhuang Feng standing in the corridor smoking, they finally handed over the task;

When Meng Yuanhua looked at Zhuang Feng who was standing in the corridor smoking a cigarette, she naturally stopped, and at the same time she also found that Zhuang Feng was facing her, and suddenly it was a little hazy, and it seemed that she couldn't see it clearly;

Zhuang Feng, who has not been seen for ten years, seems to be still the same; maybe it is a little far away, and there is no slight change in it; after all, the time of ten years is enough to make a person change a lot, but in Meng Yuanhua's opinion, Zhuang Feng does not seem to have changed;

is still the accustomed black clothes, still has shoulder-length hair, and is still used to sandwiching cigarettes between the ring finger and middle finger, rather than the usual habit of sandwiching cigarettes between the index finger and middle finger;

Everything, it seems, hasn't changed;

But has it really not changed?

This, she is not sure;

Because although this is far away, she can't feel the familiarity of Zhuang Feng, but instead it is a kind of cold that rejects people thousands of miles away;

Even if she was standing in the doorway and Zhuang Feng was standing in the corridor on the third floor, Meng Yuanhua felt the cold, but she preferred to believe that it was because of the weather rather than from the man she had thought about the most in the past ten years;

Meng Yuanhua stood there looking at Zhuang Feng, and there were many indescribable things in his heart, but there was a feeling of wanting to see him clearly, which was very strong;

However, Zhuang Feng stood there, although he was also looking at her, but he didn't seem to mean to move his feet;

In this regard, Meng Yuanhua can only sigh a little;

Because she had fantasized many times that Zhuang Feng could come back, Yan Nan could come back, and fantasized that the three of them were still together like that, but when Zhuang Feng stood where she could see, she felt that Zhuang Feng was far farther away than she had imagined;

It seems that Zhuang Feng is always so high, and she is just the ignorant little girl who follows Yan Nan;

Changed? No;

It's always been like this, but I'm thinking a little too much;

Meng Yuanhua thought about such a mess, and after seeing Zhuang Feng make a gesture, he continued to move forward with Li Daqing and Li Qing;

Maybe it will be different when you get closer;

Meng Yuanhua thought so, and at the same time, he walked towards Zhuang Feng in a hurry;
