Chapter 31: Childe stays

Chen Mingye stood under the porch, looking at the sergeant who was hurrying to a place not far away, his eyes showing a little doubt.

Could it be that in this Silent Moon View, what did they really discover?

Thinking about it in his heart, he no longer hesitated, turned his head to look at Xiaohong and said, "Xiaohong, do you want to see something fun?"

Xiaohong's eyes suddenly became bright, and she stared at him intently: "What's fun?"

Chen Mingye chuckled: "Follow me to know." ”

Xiaohong stretched out her hand and threw the last piece of preserved fruit in the fruit bowl into her mouth, patted her little hand and stood up with a happy face: "Then little junior brother, let's go quickly." ”

Chen Mingye took the little girl by the hand, and followed the mighty sergeants leisurely, all the way to a certain place.

Although the sergeants were in a hurry along the way, there were a lot of gossip exchanges along the way.

Chen Mingye took Xiaohong with him, both of them were smart, and it was easy to follow behind all the way, and even the news was very different.

And the more he listened, Chen Mingye's brows became more and more furrowed.

Kyoto, Monshi.

He sighed slightly, he had to go on this trip. Thinking like this, a thin figure involuntarily appeared in his mind.

Meng Che, the sister-in-law of Meng Xiao, the general of Dingyuan Hou and Yipin, is the most well-behaved kid in the small group composed of several of their second ancestors in Kyoto. Born in a family of military generals, he is the best at dancing and writing, and he can't squeeze into the circle of Qing officials, and even a few children with military generals don't look at him very well.

Chen Mingye, who was still the child king, saw him pitiful at that time, and took the initiative to pull him along, and Meng Che could be regarded as blending into the small circle of military generals.

Rao is like this, Meng Che has always been arrogant, and he looks down on them in his heart for these martial artists who don't like to study, of course, this is to get rid of Chen Mingye, who once helped him kindly, so although Chen Mingye has never done anything, Meng Che over there has always regarded him as a close confidant.

Chen Mingye shook his head and smiled, this time he was not his true face, and that guy should not recognize himself. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can talk to him again.

Guo Zixing stood in front of the closed door, looked at a guard with a stern expression and a knife in front of him, smiled slightly, and then said loudly: "Mrs. Meng, Guo Zixing, the Taishou of Yuzhou City, heard that you are here and came to pay a visit." ”

There was silence in the courtyard for a moment, and after a moment, a woman's voice came from inside the room.

"Thank you Mrs. Guo for your kindness, but the old woman is slightly ill today, and it is really inconvenient to see guests. ”

"In this way, the lower official can invite the best doctor in Yuzhou for his wife, and his health is serious, so Mrs. Wanwang should not refuse. Guo Zixing's expression moved, and he continued to persuade.

"Hmph! My mother has already said that it is inconvenient to see guests, so it is difficult for Lord Taishou to be strong?" The door creaked open, and a young man stepped out.

Guo Zixing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the young man and smiled faintly: "If I am not mistaken, this should be the son of General Meng, and he is really a dignified person, a dragon and a phoenix among people." ”

Meng Che looked at the smiling middle-aged man opposite, and couldn't help but feel a wave of disgust in his heart, and immediately replied coldly: "Lord Taishou is really praised, mother said today that it is not appropriate to see guests, I don't know what it means that adults have brought so many people to surround this small courtyard?"

Guo Zixing glanced at him, stretched out his hand and stroked his long beard and said: "Today, in fact, the original intention is to search for foreign objects, just because of the natural vision, so I am worried that there will be foreign objects to disturb the people, and I heard that Mrs. is also here, and my heart is even more frightened, so I sent some more people, so the son does not need to panic." ”

"Panic, what am I panicking about?" Meng Che sneered, "I'm standing here, can you still forcibly search?"

"Childe really misunderstood, we didn't have any intention of searching, but we were worried that something foreign would disturb Madame, so we came to protect it. Guo Zixing looked bitter.

"That's fine, just stand outside the door, and stand as long as you want. Meng Che looked at him, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.

"Childe, if we don't see Madame, how can we rest assured, let's let some of our people get closer to Madame, so that the lower officials can rest assured." Guo Zixing continued, ignoring Meng Che's meaning at all.

"You!" Meng Che was furious, "What if I don't let it?"

Guo Zixing sighed and shook his head: "After all, this is Yuzhou, and the lower officials are also for the sake of the people and their wives, I just hope that Meng Hou will know about it in the future and understand it." Come on, put Meng Gongzi away for me. ”

Meng Che was shocked, he never expected that the old fox on the other side had no intention of being afraid at all, and he really dared to come by force.

With Guo Zixing's order, the surrounding sergeants, who were already eyeing each other, immediately rushed up and surrounded several escort companies with Meng Che.

"You guys, you don't want to die, let my father know about this in the future, and all of your heads will fall off! I see which of you dares to do it!" Meng Che stretched out his hand and pointed at the soldiers who were approaching him, and he was a little nervous for a while.

The one on the side sneered: "Didn't you hear the words of Lord Taishou, set him up for me!"

"Yes!" The soldiers did not hesitate for a moment, and rushed towards Meng Che and the others.

"Alas......" Chen Mingye, who had been watching from the side for a long time, couldn't hold back any longer, sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand and patted Xiaohong to signal her to wait for him here, and jumped towards Meng Che's side.

Xiaohong's eyes were shining, and she didn't seem to have the slightest concern.

Chen Mingye's movements were very fast, and compared to these ordinary soldiers, it was not too much to say that it was a bolt of lightning. Almost in the blink of an eye, he had already crossed the heads of a large number of soldiers, kicked over a few guys who were in the way, and landed firmly in front of Meng Che.

Meng Che was startled, and before he could react, several guards next to him had already subconsciously drawn their knives and slashed towards this uninvited guest.

Chen Mingye seemed to have expected it, and with a slight movement of his hands, he easily pushed a few blades aside.

"I'm here to help, to join forces against the enemy. Chen Mingye didn't even glance at the young man behind him, but just said lightly.

Meng Che was slightly stunned and nodded: "Believe him." ”

Only then did several guards relax their vigilance and continue to confront the city guards in Yuzhou with their knives.

Guo Zixing was slightly stunned because of this sudden change, but he didn't pay much attention to it, he still squinted his eyes and stared straight into the room, as if he was looking at Mrs. Meng inside through the wooden door.

And the soldiers who originally surrounded them were only slightly stunned because of this change, but in a blink of an eye, they came back to their senses, and the long knife in their hands was raised high again.

Chen Mingye no longer hesitated, reached behind his back, and pulled out the Wu Swallowing Sword that had not been unsheathed for a long time.

As soon as the swallowing Wu sword came out of the sheath, the cold sword light suddenly swept the audience, and the momentum was so strong that for a while, a few soldiers who were shocked did not dare to rush forward again.

The person behind frowned, and even Guo Zixing's attention was also attracted, looked at Chen Mingye in the field, and stretched out his finger to him: "Where did this kid come from?"

He shook his head and said, "Lord Hui, this kid jumped out of nowhere, I'm afraid he came here to make trouble on purpose." ”

Guo Zixing sneered: "Just him, give it all to me, I don't believe that he can turn the world upside down alone?"

The corners of Chen Mingye's mouth outlined a cold smile, if it was an open area here, in the face of these hundreds of soldiers attacking at the same time, he would indeed be overstretched, but this courtyard was narrow, although it was besieged, but there were only a few people to face at the same time, so there was no need to worry too much for a while.

"Wait!" At the last moment, a woman's voice came from inside the hut.

Guo Zixing was slightly stunned, but he still raised his hand and stopped the attack of the soldiers. He looked into the room and asked with a smile, "Does Mrs. Meng want to persuade me to retreat?"

"Alas......" responded with a slight sigh.

Chen Mingye only felt a jump in his heart, and the wooden door that had been closed all this time actually "creaked" open at this time.

"Lord Taishou insisted on seeing the old woman, and even did not hesitate to make trouble to this point, and the old woman is not a big girl with a bad yellow flower, just see it. A gentle voice came out, and then everyone saw a woman slowly walking out of the room.

The woman was dressed in an ivory white makeup floral dress, wearing a threaded cicada wing veil, although her hair was slightly white and well-groomed, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were slightly vicissitudes of life, but she had the slightest elegance in her temperament, and she looked particularly dignified and majestic just by walking out of the house.

"Mother, why did you get out. Meng Che hurriedly turned around and looked at the woman, a little anxious for a while.

"It's okay, it's just a little cold, and it's not in the way. The woman shook her head, looked at him and sighed, "You are always too impulsive, and my discipline never seems to have listened. ”

Meng Che hurriedly lowered his head with a obedient look.

Chen Mingye couldn't help but want to laugh, this scene, in the past days of friendship with Meng Che, he had seen a lot, but at this moment, he had met again after a long absence, and he never thought that he would be in this situation when he met for the first time.

He turned his head slightly to look at the woman, and for a moment, he quickly turned his head away.

The woman glanced at him casually, but her eyes were deeply imprinted on his back.

Chen Mingye only felt that his whole body was slightly stiff, and then he heard the words that the woman turned to Guo Zixing and said: "Lord Taishou, you want the old woman to come out, just to find something, please do it now." ”

Guo Zixing never expected that the old woman opposite would make such a play, and he was stunned for a while.

"My lord?" hurriedly reminded him.

"It's a good move to retreat," Guo Zixing gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice, but instead showed a smile and said to the woman, "Since Madame agrees, and it is also for the safety of the people and Madame, then the lower official is not polite." ”

The woman's expression was as usual, without the slightest change.

Guo Zixing gritted his teeth: "Search for me." ”

A group of soldiers hurriedly rushed into the wooden house, and several female Taoist priests in Taoist robes were driven out of the house, followed by the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

The guards and maids on one side were all red-eyed, as if they had been greatly insulted, but the old woman had a flat face, as if these could not stir up the slightest wave in her eyes.

After a while, the squad leader came out and reported to the Taishou Lord: "Lord Hui, there is nothing abnormal in it?"

Guo Zixing gritted his teeth, and his face was cloudy: "Have you searched carefully?"

"It's really nothing, those female Taoist priests were all searched in the house before they were driven out. The team leader had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply.

"Okay, good," Guo Zi laughed angrily, stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the soldier in front of him, "I really didn't disappoint." ”

"My lord!" the squad leader was shocked and quickly knelt down.

"Don't kneel at me, you contradicted the wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan, go back and receive the punishment yourself." Guo Zixing shook his head and said lightly.

“...... Be. A whole team of people knelt down at Guo Zixing and lowered their heads, and the entire courtyard was silent for a while.

"Madam, it seems that it is really a misunderstanding, there is no abnormality here, that is the best, and for the safety of Madame, the lower official is relieved. Guo Zixing turned his head, and he looked smiling again.

"The adults are worried about the people, take care of the old woman, so conscientious, it is the blessing of Haoming, after this matter is returned, the old woman will definitely make it clear to the officials. The woman replied lightly, "If there is nothing to do, please go quickly, the old woman is not good and needs to rest." ”

Guo Zixing was stunned for a moment, and then he still said with a smile: "Madame has a small accumulation, why don't you go to Yuzhou City to rest for a while, the lower officials must invite a good doctor to take good care of Madame." ”

"No need. The woman turned away, as if she did not want to say any more.

Guo Zixing looked at her back, his eyes were gloomy, and his words were still kind: "Then the lower official won't bother, I hope Mrs. will recover soon." ”

"Thank you, sir. The old woman lifted her feet and went into the house.

"Let's go. Guo Zixing glanced fiercely at the few women who were still shrunk to the side, and walked away with his sleeves.

The mighty procession came in a hurry, and it went simply, and in a short time it was completely withdrawn.

Chen Mingye also vaguely saw the horse-faced sergeant glaring at himself in the crowd, he smiled a little for a while, turned to look at Meng Che, but it was not much different from his impression, his face was still slightly childish, but it already showed a little bit of the warm temperament of a scholar.

Meng Che obviously didn't recognize him, and at this time he had already come up and bowed to him: "Thank you for this benevolent brother's righteous action, Meng is really grateful." ”

"Brother Meng was polite, and he passed by here on the way, but he was enthusiastic for a while, but he didn't help much. Chen Mingye shook his head and said.

"Do you still want to thank this brother Ren, I don't know the name of Brother Ren?" Meng Che said with a gentle smile.

“...... Call me Chen Ye. Chen Mingye couldn't think of any name for a while.

Meng Che was obviously stunned when he heard this name, and his eyes were fixed on Chen Mingye's face.

"Brother Meng?" Chen Mingye naturally knew what he was thinking, but at this moment, it was really not the time to reveal his identity.

"Ah, I'm sorry Brother Chen, it's just that your name is too similar to a close friend below. Meng Che came back to his senses and looked at him with a slight embarrassment.

Chen Mingye sighed secretly and said, "It's okay, there are many people with the same name in the world, let alone similar. ”

"Brother Chen is alone, do you want to stay and have lunch together?" Meng Che hurriedly asked.

"Thank you Brother Meng for your kindness, Chen still has some things, so I won't stay longer. Chen Mingye suddenly remembered that he had made an appointment with Xiaohong to take her to eat delicious food, and he guessed that the little girl might not be able to wait.

"Okay, that's the case, Brother Chen......" Meng Che was about to speak, but was interrupted by a voice.

"That son, can you stay for a while?"
