As Chen Mingye's voice came out, there was some silence in the carriage for a while.

Meng Che looked at him for a while, as if he had given up the idea of taking the school examination, and smiled bitterly at him: "Brother Chen's words are sharp, Meng admires." ”

Chen Mingye shook his head: "If you think differently, you naturally say it differently, Brother Meng's strategy in his heart is also admired." ”

Hearing this, Meng Che really smiled bitterly: "Brother Chen, although you and I are new acquaintances, somehow, I always have an extra sense of familiarity with you. ”

Chen Mingye was shocked in his heart, and the surface was still indifferent: "If Brother Meng wants to say that he is familiar at first sight, Chen will naturally accept it happily." ”

Meng Che wanted to speak and stopped, as if he didn't know how to express what he thought in his heart, he hesitated for a moment or gave up the topic, thought about it and said to Chen Mingye: "Brother Chen, in fact, there is still a question in my heart that I want to ask for advice. ”

Chen Mingye smiled: "Brother Meng just asked, if Chen has an answer, he will naturally know everything." ”

Meng Che looked at him and scratched his head, as if he was a little embarrassed by the next question, but he still gritted his teeth and asked: "Mother seems to be quite fond of Brother Chen, but although she has a filial piety, it seems that she can't be happy with her mother, I wonder if Brother Chen has any special methods?"

Chen Mingye was stunned for a moment, Meng Che wouldn't have had a problem with himself for this reason before, right? But being able to ask it frankly now means that it is not a big problem.

He smiled and looked at Meng Che and replied: "Brother Meng is too worried, Lingtang treats people with generosity, and treats his son strictly, as the so-called strict self-discipline and leniency towards others, it is precisely because I have expectations for you in my heart that I will be strict with you, and how can I have any way to please me?"

Meng Che sighed: "What Brother Chen said is good, it's just that my mother seems to be really special to you, but I don't have any jealousy in my heart, but I have some expectations......"

Chen Mingye was stunned when he heard this.

"In the past, there was also such a person, like my brother, who tolerated and protected me, although he was not biological, it was no different, and his mother treated him as his own...... "Meng Che looked at him with a somewhat complicated look.

Xiaohong, who was happily eating snacks, seemed to feel the sudden subtle atmosphere in the carriage, and also looked up at Chen Mingye.

Chen Mingye sighed slightly in his heart, but he knew that this was not a good time to reveal his identity, so he had to pretend to be curious and asked: "When Brother Meng said this, Chen was curious, what kind of person can get such a miss from you." ”

"He, his name is very similar to yours, so when we first met, I was very surprised when I heard your name," Meng Che still looked at him fixedly, his deep eyes seemed to penetrate the layer of camouflage on his face, until he was inside, "And you give me the feeling that he is really similar to him, so I think my mother should feel the same way, but I know that he can't appear here now." ”

After Meng Che finished speaking, he seemed to spit out a long breath from the bottom of his heart, leaned back slightly, and leaned on the wooden board of the carriage.

Chen Mingye chuckled, looked at the young man in front of him who had grown up a lot compared to his impression, and said lightly: "Brother Meng, I think I won't be worse than your brother in the future." ”

Meng Che closed his eyes slightly, shook his head, and frowned: "You don't understand." ”

Chen Mingye nodded: "It's Chen who said more." ”

Meng Che seemed to feel the slightly embarrassing atmosphere in the carriage, and then opened his eyes and looked at Chen Mingye with a wry smile: "Meng Mou's mood fluctuated a little just now, and his words were a little impulsive, and I hope Brother Chen will not be surprised." ”

"It's okay, Brother Meng should rest for a while, there is still a long way to go. Chen Mingye smiled slightly, not minding.

"Okay, then Brother Chen can take care of himself. Meng Che nodded.

Xiaohong on the side looked up suspiciously, not quite understanding what the two of them had muttered for a long time.

Chen Mingye smiled at her lightly, signaling that he didn't have to care.

Xiaohong pouted, reached out and picked up a small shortbread and brought it to him, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Chen Mingye laughed, opened his mouth, and bit down the whole cake in one bite.

Xiaohong let out a "ah" and hurriedly sent her hand away.

Chen Mingye looked at her and seemed to be smiling, the old god chewed the shortbread in his mouth on the ground and swallowed it, and then closed his eyes and recuperated.

Since hitting the southern Xinjiang, there has never been such a comfortable journey.

The city of Yuzhou is located on the east side of the border of Yuzhou, so the road to Kyoto is not too far. The Meng family took the spacious official road set up along the way, and the flow of people was very frequent, and the Meng family's convoy obviously did not mean to rush deliberately, so they chose an inn to settle down before nightfall.

Meng's body and bones still don't seem to be very good, and dinner was sent to the room, and people didn't come down. Chen Mingye and Meng Che are also happy, after all, there is one less elder on the side, so they don't have to be too restrained.

Meng Che seemed to be in a much better mood at this meeting, and specially asked for two pots of good wine, seemingly planning to toast with Chen Mingye.

Chen Mingye thought to himself that he had nothing to do, but he had no intention of ruining his interest, so he did not refuse.

Meng Che did seem to have a sense of familiarity with him, so he drank quite happily, and after a few glasses, he began to drag the poems with him.

Chen Mingye smiled bitterly, he knew the amount of alcohol that Meng Che kid had, but he didn't expect that kid really had no scruples, and he didn't hide anything at all, so it took a long time to hand over the bottom.

"Crossing the far Jingmen and coming from Chu to travel. The mountains follow the plains, and the rivers flow into the great wilderness. Flying to the sky under the moon, the clouds are born and the sea is built. still pity the hometown water, thousands of miles to see off the boat. Meng Chefu took another sip of wine, seemed to be very happy, and opened his mouth to come.

Chen Mingye smiled bitterly, although it was not convenient with his current status, he still planned to dissuade this Meng Dagongzi a little.

Just before he could speak, Meng Che had already turned his head to stare at him and asked, "Brother Chen, do you have a grand wish to go to Kyoto?"

Chen Mingye looked at him with the pride of being the best in the world, and he didn't know his plans, so he simply let him vomit: "Brother Meng might as well speak first." ”

"Okay, I, Meng Che, will be blunt, this time I will return to Beijing, I should study hard, in the spring of the next year, I will compete for the top spot, on the top of the Golden Palace, and I will vomit my ambitions, so that the whole world will know the name of my Meng Che!" Speaking of this, Meng Gongzi seemed to be extremely excited, and with a flick of his sleeves, the whole person staggered and wanted to stand up.

It's just that he was already drunk and drowsy, and as soon as he got up from the table, he was about to fall down with weakness under his feet. The guards on the side hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out their hands to support him, and at the same time smiled bitterly at Chen Mingye: "Chen Gongzi, don't be surprised, my young master must have been too happy to see Gongzi today, so he lost his temper." ”

Chen Mingye shook his head: "It's not in the way, Brother Meng's pride is really admired, help him go back to the room to rest." ”

"What's the matter," Meng Che, who was paralyzed over there, seemed to be able to hear Chen Mingye's words, and even had the heart to interject, "Brother Chen hasn't said anything about your ambitions?"

Chen Mingye laughed, and was about to speak, but when he saw Meng Che over there finish saying this, his head tilted, and he had already fallen asleep soundly.

"Take your young master to rest. Chen Mingye said to the guards.

Let the son smile, and the villain took the son back to the room first. The guard punched him, then turned around and helped Meng Che upstairs.

Chen Mingye waved his hand casually, leisurely raised the wine glass and put it to his lips, looked at Meng Che's back, and said lightly: "I'm going, when I get close to the sky to see the sun and the moon, and hold the wind and clouds in my hand." ”

"What pink balls?" Xiao Hong on the side raised her bright eyes and looked at him, as if she vaguely heard something of interest from his mouth, "It's delicious?"

Chen Mingye smiled and said: "There are so many delicious things in Kyoto, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat them then." ”

"Hehe, don't be afraid, junior brother, didn't you say that it will take a long time to arrive in Kyoto, Xiaohong has already been ready!" the little girl looked at him and raised her neck proudly.

"Xiaohong, you tell me honestly, do you know Aunt Meng?" Chen Mingye swept around, and saw that there was no one around at the moment, so he went straight to the point and asked the little girl.

Xiaohong raised her head and looked at him innocently, her big eyes blinking.

"You girl has a lot of ideas, don't pretend to be innocent. Chen Mingye knew how powerful she was, and deliberately made a stern appearance at the moment. The scene when Xiaohong met Meng Shi for the first time in the courtyard during the day was really weird, and Meng's slightly sluggish expression at that time was still clearly remembered by him.

"Hmph!" Xiao Hong stuck out her little tongue unhappily, "Xiao Hong doesn't say it, if you want to know, go back and ask Shizun." ”

"You little girl, what are you going around in circles with me. Chen Mingye glanced at Xiaohong and found that she was faintly flustered.

"Well, anyway, if you want to know, go back and ask Shizun, Xiaohong doesn't know. The little girl was determined, and she looked like she had a backer on her back.

Chen Mingye was helpless, so he had to change his question to find out some clues: "Are you afraid of Aunt Meng? If you tell me the truth, I can take you to buy delicious food!"

"Don't be angry," Xiao Hong replied simply, looking at him unhappily with a pouted mouth, "Little junior brother, do you think Xiao Hong is so easy to buy, you want to be angry like this Xiao Hong!"

"......" is the first time to see the little girl's soft and hard appearance, Chen Mingye only feels a little headache.

"That's it, let's not say it," Chen Mingye could also see it, and reached out and pinched the little girl's fleshy little face, "Some little girls said that they would be obedient when they went out, and they could only say it." ”

Xiaohong grinned: "Then you can't ask again." ”

"Okay," Chen Mingye shrugged, "don't ask." ”

"Okay," Xiaohong seemed to feel a little indebted to him, thought about it, reached out and took out the spirit treasure gourd, carefully poured out a red pill and handed it to him, "Oh, this is for you." ”

Chen Mingye smiled: "Is this Xiaohong's compensation for me?"

"Do you want to!" Xiaohong seemed a little shy, and stamped her foot angrily, her face slightly flushed.

"Forget it, you can keep it. Chen Mingye thought about it, but still shook his head, he didn't need these pills too much, the Xuanting Sutra left by Qingwei Palm Sect is still alive and well in his body, and it is more than enough for him at present.

"Hmph!" Xiao Hong seemed very unhappy about his refusal, stretched out her little hand and pulled his hand over violently, and then broke his fingers quite brutally, and stuffed the pill directly into his palm, "This is a healing red elixir, you can take it!"

Chen Mingye laughed, and was about to speak, but the little girl had already jumped upstairs.

The night is shrouded, the moonlight is swaying, Chen Mingye sits at this table by the window, the night breeze blows, and he pours a sip of wine, which is quite pleasant.

This is the intersection of Yuzhou and Sizhou, it should be a place where the traders and men move around, but the flow of people in the inn seems to be a little scarce today, although it is nighttime, but there are only three or five tables of customers scattered in the store.

Chen Mingye listened attentively, and the wind faintly came from some ordinary complaints.

He shook his head with a smile and reached out to raise the wine glass, but it was just brought to the corner of his mouth, but his ears moved slightly.

Above the roof, there seemed to be a strange noise.

Chen Mingye's eyes narrowed slightly, gently put down the wine glass, pretended to be full of wine and food, and walked leisurely towards the stairs.

On the second floor of the inn, most of them are excellent guest rooms. Especially because of the small number of people in the inn today, the wealthy Meng family almost covered the entire second floor.

At this time, the strange noise on the roof of the building was clearly divided into two sides, with the staircase he was on as the middle boundary, one to the east, and the other to the west.

Chen Mingye remembered very well that Meng's room was on the east side of the stairs, and his and Meng Che's room was on the west side of the stairs.

His mind had already been thought about clearly, and based on his trust in Xiaohong, Chen Mingye did not hesitate anymore and went straight up the stairs to the east.

Obviously, someone wanted to do something before the Meng family entered the Kyoto area.

The Meng family stands above the court as a noble lord family, and Meng Xiao, the Marquis of Dingyuan, who is in charge, is already a veteran of the three dynasties.

Chen Mingye seemed to be walking slowly, but he had already gotten up at the moment when the abnormal movement sounded, so at this moment, he almost arrived in front of Meng's room at the same time as the abnormal sound on the roof.

Sure enough, Chen Mingye narrowed his eyes slightly, his steps were extremely light along the way, and the attention of the people on the roof was all focused on Meng's side, thinking that he must not have noticed himself.

There were two guards outside Meng's house, and when they saw Chen Mingye coming, they first saluted, and were about to open their mouths to him, but they saw Chen Mingye raise his hand and make a silent gesture.

The two guards were slightly stunned, looked at each other, and then closed their mouths in amusement, without speaking.

Chen Mingye listened attentively, and for a while, his spiritual power was already radiated.

The noise of the drunkards at the tables downstairs was automatically isolated by him, and the unknown sounds on the roof were constantly amplified by him, and even the sound of the night wind whistling seemed to blow through his ears along the perception of spiritual power.

For a while, everything around me seemed to be carved into a clear picture in my heart.

The corners of Chen Mingye's mouth were slightly hooked, and he walked to the door with light steps, and knocked on the door in the surprised eyes of the two guards.

"Madame, are you resting?"
