Hearing the voice behind him, Chen Mingye's footsteps paused slightly, and when he turned his head, he saw that a little maid dressed in Ayaluo walked out.

"Something?" he asked casually, making a gesture of resignation.

"Xiao Yi has seen the son, and the lady asked Xiao Yi to invite the son into the house to talk, and I hope that the son will appreciate his face. The maid bowed to him.

Chen Mingye hesitated slightly.

The maid said in a low voice: "I hope that the son will not embarrass the slave and maid." ”

Chen Mingye looked inside the house, how could he not know the temperament of that lady, how could he be embarrassed when he wanted to be lenient with others?

But he only probed slightly: "That's it, you lead the way." ”

"Thank you, childe. The maid immediately showed a smile on her face, "Then the boy, please come with me." ”

Meng Che had a strange face, and he didn't seem to expect that his mother would invite Chen Mingye into the house to talk.

Chen Mingye glanced at him, and sure enough, after so many years, this kid was still as afraid of that Mrs. Meng as ever.

Meng Che thought about it, but still followed behind, planning to go in with Chen Mingye, who knew that when he walked to the wooden house, the attendant guarding the door actually stretched out his hand to block him outside: "Young master, Madam said, I only saw this son at this time." ”

Meng Che scratched his head, Chen Mingye frowned slightly, and still walked into the house.

The light in the room was quite dim, and Chen Mingye squinted slightly to get used to it.

The furnishings of this side room are not much different from the room they were in before, they are all set up against the wall, a square wooden table is placed in the center of the room, and the benches are around, and Mrs. Meng is sitting on a recliner by the window, looking at Chen Mingye who has just stepped into the house with a smile on her lips.

"I've seen Madame. Chen Mingye looked at the woman in front of him, and for a moment a thousand thoughts came to his heart, and he hurriedly lowered his head and only said these four words in a low voice.

"Sit down, don't be polite to me. Meng Shi smiled at him.

As always, it was the kind tone in his memory, Chen Mingye took a long breath, and he didn't show any abnormality, but replied lightly: "Thank you, madam." ”

"You kid, thanks to you today. Meng Shi waved his hand and motioned to the maid beside him to send over a cup of tea.

Chen Mingye took the teacup and replied respectfully: "Madame is too polite, the kid is just enthusiastic for a while, and he really didn't help much." ”

Meng Shi didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, and the whole room fell silent.

"Child......" Meng Shi looked at him, gently pursed his lips and said, "My eyes are not very good, can you come closer and show me?"

"Good. Chen Mingye answered, put the teacup in his hand on the table, walked slowly to the old woman's approach, and respectfully replied.

"What are you doing with such a big gift, you kid, alas, ......" Meng Shi said half a sentence, but suddenly paused, took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes slightly, and then turned his head to look at the maid on the side, "Quick, quickly bring the stool, how can there be a reason to let the guests sit." ”

Speaking of urgency, Meng Shi couldn't help but want to get up from the chair.

Chen Mingye couldn't help but step forward and support Meng Shi, and said softly: "The kid is out of the way, Madame can rest well." ”

Meng Shi grabbed his hand, and those weather-beaten eyes fell on his face, and he looked at it carefully.

Chen Mingye panicked in his heart, but he was afraid that forcibly breaking free would collide with the old woman, so he had to sigh and look at the lady.

"Childe, please take a seat. The maid had already brought a small stool.

Chen Mingye took it with his other hand, but he was just able to sit with Meng Shi.

"Madam, ...... you" Seeing that Meng Shi still didn't speak, Chen Mingye sighed and was about to speak, but was directly interrupted by Meng Shi.

"Child, what's your name?" Meng Shi asked softly, looking at him.

"Madame just call me Chen Ye. When Chen Mingye said this, he was inexplicably a little weak-hearted.

When he was young, because of his friendship with Meng Che, he often went to the Yipin Military Marquis Mansion to play, and Aunt Meng at that time was always the most gentle. Because of the frequent visits, I probably also know Chen Mingye's preferences, so every time I prepare afternoon tea, pastries and the like, I always prepare two servings, one for Meng Che and one for his.

Meng's original surname is Tang, she was originally a young lady of Qingzhou's official eunuch family, and she took a fancy to Meng Xiao, who was still unfamous, but later the Marquis of Dingyuan led the army to break through Eastern Wu and made great achievements, and the Tang family in Qingzhou even enjoyed a lot of blessings.

Meng Che has been afraid of his mother since he was a child, and Meng's family education is very strict, so although Meng Xiao was born in a reckless manner, Meng Che was taught to be like a child from a scholarly family, after Chen Mingye befriended him, although Meng Che also came and went with a few fox friends from a military general's family, but only Chen Mingye was the most compatible, and Meng always liked Chen Mingye the most.

Come to think of it, it's more or less the reason why my mother was not around since I was a child, and I have been strictly taught by my father, although I don't love to be motivated, and I have never studied well, but the ink in my stomach is still dangling compared to those real second ancestors. is also because her mother is not around, Aunt Meng at that time, in Chen Mingye's heart since she was a child, is not a mother but is better than a mother, and she is the most gentle person in the world.

"Your child's name is very similar to one of my former nephews. Meng Shi looked at him, and even the corners of his eyes seemed to be a little gentle.

"Madame Miao, it is a blessing for a boy to be like your nephew. Chen Mingye replied.

"Child, you are about the same age as my uncompetitive child, don't dislike me as a Meng, just call me Aunt Meng. The old woman watched him speak slowly, and there was a faint expectation in her voice.

Chen Mingye hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her again, and the memories that were originally buried in the depths of his heart came alive again with this call.

"Aunt Meng. He shouted in a low voice, as if blowing away the thousands of dust buried in his memory, and the whole world seemed to become hazy with this sentence.

In front of this Meng Shi, he even forgot to pretend to have those rules, and actually confided these two words in a hurry.

"Good, good. Meng Shi said three good words in a row, and there was endless comfort in his voice, and he seemed to be extremely distressed.

Chen Mingye was speechless for a while, but he didn't know what to say.

"Where are you from ancestral home?" Meng Shi wiped his eyes lightly with a handkerchief before continuing to ask.

Chen Mingye has already prepared a unified answer to this kind of background question: "The kid was born in Jiaozhou, and this time he made a special trip to visit and study, and he will enter Beijing to take the exam in the spring of next year." ”

When Meng Shi heard this, he glanced at him deeply, and sighed slightly: "Good ambition, my unsuccessful child can have half of your potential, and I will be relieved." ”

Chen Mingye said helplessly: "Mrs. Miao praised, Ling Lang is dignified, and he is lofty, and he must have a day when he will soar." ”

Meng Shi seemed to be quite happy when he heard this, and asked, "You kid has a sweet mouth, don't be nervous, do you want to eat any fruits?"

Chen Mingye was just about to speak, but Meng Shi had already turned his head to the maid and instructed him.

"Go, take the snowflake white pear crisp, as well as the green dates that have just been picked, and the citrus specially supplied by Yangzhou. ”

Chen Mingye was stunned for a moment, these things Meng Shi said happened to be his favorite food when he was young.

"Are you traveling alone?" Meng Shi turned his head and continued to ask.

Chen Mingye thought about it, and still replied: "It's with my sister." ”

"Oh, little girl, bring it to me. When Meng Shi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Chen Mingye replied: "It was dangerous here just now, so I let her hide in the wing room next door." ”

Meng nodded: "It's okay, I'll let Xiao Yi bring some food, it's almost time to eat, give the little girl a cushion first." ”

Chen Mingye hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, madam." ”

"You stupid boy, why are you so polite, what's so thankful for this," Meng Shi smiled, turning his head to look at the maid, "Xiaoyi, bring some food to the little girl next door, and by the way, ask the elders again, when can you have dinner, I guess I was so troubled by Yuzhou Taishou, I didn't prepare it all morning, and I have to wait a long time." ”

"Yes, ma'am. ”

Chen Mingye sighed: "Madam, let's not bother much." ”

Meng Shi took his hand, and said with a slightly flat face: "Although I am a shallow woman, I still understand the truth that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, doesn't Gongzi Chen still want my Meng family to be a villain who does not repay his kindness?"

Chen Mingye smiled bitterly, this Aunt Meng's speech was still as sharp as ever, so she had to reply immediately: "Madame's words are serious, the kid doesn't mean that." ”

"If it's not an important matter, I'll call your sister in a moment, and let's have a meal together. Meng insisted on persuasion.

"Then thank you Madame for your kindness. Chen Mingye had no choice but to nod.

At the entrance of the majestic hall of the Jingyue Temple, the contemplator who stood with his hands closed his eyes, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Although several Taoist priests around him stood still, they frequently turned their heads, obviously not as calm as they appeared in their hearts.

Soon after, there was a large number of footsteps behind him, and everyone turned around for a while, but they were all a little depressed when they saw the soldiers who were originally surging at the moment.

Guo Zixing walked in front, the expression on his face still did not change much, he just looked at the closed-eyed viewer and smiled faintly: "The old Taoist is really powerful, he can hide things unknowingly, I Guo Zixing admires." ”

"It's something that doesn't exist, and Lord Taishou wants to forcibly draw water with a bamboo basket, so naturally it can only be empty. The old Taoist priest didn't open his eyes, but replied calmly.

Guo Zixing walked in front of him step by step and stared at him deadly. Lao Dao still didn't notice it at all, closed his eyes and recuperated, and he was very safe.

"Okay, that's right," Guo Zixing sneered, and actually clapped his hands to himself, "You Jingyue is going to hide the foreign body demon to the end." ”

Lao Dao shook his head: "If Lord Taishou has to forcibly be charged with such a crime, Lao Dao has nothing to say." ”

"It's powerless to refute," Guo Zixing sneered, seeing that the old Tao did not refute, the dark depression in his eyes became more and more intense, and suddenly he yelled, "Someone!"

"In!" hurriedly walked over to the side.

"This old Taoist is the master of Jingyue Temple, I must know the mystery of the view, take him back to me, and torture him. Guo Zixing narrowed his eyes slightly, took a few steps back, and stared at Lao Dao tightly, as if he was guarding against Lao Dao's outbreak at any time.

Lao Dao just sighed softly, and finally slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lord Taishou in front of him: "My lord's trip, it is inevitable?"

"Of course! I don't do useless work. Guo Zixing's eyes were cold.

Lao Dao shook his head: "The truth of the world, between the willing, there is no mutual birth, and Lord Taishou is finally more persistent." ”

"Leave these twists and turns to you to understand slowly," Guo Zixing sneered, raised his hand and pointed at Lao Dao, "The city defense battalion listens to the order, take him down for me, and those who dare to obstruct it will be treated as a rebellion." ”

"Yes!" the already somewhat sluggish morale followed his order, so he had to shout with his neck pulled high.

"Who do I think would dare to do it?"

A loud shout came from afar, seemingly a little lazy, but also full of majesty.

Guo Zixing smiled angrily: "Is it true that anyone dares to pretend to be a ghost in front of me, or are you the demon?"

"Devil, Lao Tzu is your grandfather. "It's a faceless backlash over there.

Guo Zixing's face was pale, and he couldn't help it anymore, and roared: "The city defense battalion still doesn't move?"

"Do it!" said to the side, pointing forward quickly.

"Kill!" the mighty sergeant roared and rushed towards the old man standing in front of Jing Yueguan.

This time it is not like the narrow terrain in the small courtyard before, this is the entrance of the main hall of Jingyue Temple, the steps are wide, nearly a hundred floors up and down, and hundreds of sergeants spread out vertically and horizontally, which is more than enough.

Lao Dao looked at the sergeant in front of him, but he didn't react in the slightest, but turned his original wood-like body and looked in the direction where the voice came from behind him.

"Kill whatever you want, you have the ability to go to the north to fight the Tartars, and it's quite capable of engaging in infighting in your own territory all day long. A figure flew out and swung a sword at the hundreds of soldiers in front of him.

This brilliant sword qi was like the wind sweeping away dust, knocking hundreds of people back a few steps, and even dozens of sergeants were unsteady on their feet, so that they rolled down the steps all the way, and their heads were broken and bleeding.

Condescending and descending, the vigor is against the declining soldiers, Rao is so, a sword repelled hundreds of people, and for a time it also shocked everyone present.

Guo Zixing didn't have time to see how his army's losses were, but he hurriedly raised his head in a panic and looked at the figure that suddenly fell from the sky.

Dressed in a gray and white shirt, with a white beard full of vicissitudes on his face, his body was even slightly hunchbacked, and he was carrying an ordinary branch in his hand, such an old man who was not amazing-looking actually repelled a team of hundreds of people on his side?

Guo Zixing felt that his brain was a little confused for a while, looking at the age of the other party, he was definitely not a new junior, when did such a powerful character appear in the Yuzhou territory?

"What are you pretending to be, boy?" said the old man, pointing at him with a twig.

Guo Zixing only felt that his eyelids seemed to be beating faintly, looking at the branch not far away, which was even a little yellow, for the first time he had such a terrifying and frightened emotion, and even for the old man to give himself such a contemptuous name, he subconsciously ignored the past.

"Stupid?" the old man glanced at him, but he didn't bother to look at him, and turned his head to look at the Taoist who had been silently watching him.

"The younger Gu Yue has seen the seniors. The man bowed straight to the old man.

The old man tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he still didn't stop it, but said lightly: "Since you are all her disciples, you should be my juniors, so I will accept this gift with a cheeky face." ”

The Taoist's hand trembled slightly, and even his voice, which had always been as indifferent as water, trembled: "Thank you, senior." ”

"Thank you, thank you for my gift," the old man plucked out his ears, "Of course, as a senior, it is natural to cover you juniors, and those who dare to provoke our Jingyue Guan should always teach him a lesson." ”

Gu Yue Zhenren looked at the old man in front of him, and when he heard him say the words "Let's watch the moon quietly", he couldn't control it for a while, and he was in tears.

"Alas, you ......"

The old man scratched his head, sighed rather distressedly, and then thought of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned his head to look at Guo Zixing, who was already a little confused.

"Boy, you say, shouldn't I teach you a lesson?"
