Chapter 18: The Evil Emperor
Chapter 18 Journey to Suzhou City
Yan Huanchi's letter troubled Meng Chuanqing for a long time.
After arranging Yan Shangci, he first went to the firewood room to see Meng Yuwen, who had been thinking about it behind closed doors, and learned that Sang Youwei had gone out to look for him, and released a white dove to report safety, and then returned to his room. As soon as he entered the house, Meng Chuanqing fell on his back on the bed and closed his eyes in contemplation. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he jumped up again, took pen and ink and a piece of white silk, spread them on the table, and began to paint.
It wasn't long before it was done, and he picked up the finished work and looked at it carefully, with a satisfied smile on his face. What he drew was the topographical map of the confused hall, no one knew, Meng Chuanqing was not only shrewd, but also extremely amazing, and the technique of Danqing was a must. On the roof of the farmhouse, he had already seen the topographical map clearly, and he had all it in mind, and because of this, he did not force it.
At this time, he heard footsteps outside the door, light and fluttering, and he should be a person who practiced martial arts. I was surprised: Isn't it Ah Zhong? Hurriedly put away the map and put it in his arms. Pushing the door in, it was a maid dressed in white, Meng Chuanqing recognized this face, such a beautiful face, it was difficult for anyone to forget it when they looked at it.
It was two years ago, the first day they had just moved to Luoyang City. He overheard the maid coming out of his father's study with a deep smile on her face. Since then, he has known that this girl ring is by no means simple, at least her status in her father's mind is different from others. The strange thing is that since that day, this girl ring has never appeared again, and today she suddenly appeared here, which made Meng Chuanqing very puzzled, so he asked, "What are you doing here?"
"The slave and maid are here to serve the second son. ”
"Where's Ah Zhong?"
"Ah Zhong is sick with madness, and the owner has sent someone to send him back to his hometown in the countryside. ”
Meng Chuanqing's face changed after hearing this, "How can a good person get crazy?" He knew in his heart that the so-called madness was just an excuse, and Ah Zhong might have been poisoned by his father. Sure enough, my father was still a little concerned about my sudden change, so he wanted to learn some secrets from Ah Zhong, who had been with me for six years, that he didn't know. With Ah Zhong's loyalty to himself, he may use suicide to get rid of his father. After Ah Zhong died, my father sent his henchmen to spy on me, and he really had good intentions.
"What's your name?"
"Meng Xueye. ”
Meng Chuanqing knew that this maid was sent by her father to test her, so the demon spirit bead in her arms was never allowed for her to discover. For this reason, he refused Meng Xueye to change his clothes, and on the grounds that his left shoulder was injured, he sent her out to get gold sore medicine. After Meng Xue Ye left, Meng Chuanqing changed into the clothes she brought, and took the Demon Spirit Bead and the map back into his arms.
Meng Chuanqing felt that he needed to do two things now: Meng Xueye hadn't heard any news from him, and he would definitely go to Shang Ci to find out. He had to teach Shang Ci how to make up lies, and by the way, he discussed with her how to hide the Demon Spirit Bead. The Demon Spirit Bead is definitely a problem to carry on the body, and where to hide it is also a problem.
Meng Xueye didn't hear any useful news from Meng Chuanqing and Yan Shangci, and with a feeling of anxiety, she went to Meng Fanchen's study.
"What's wrong?" Meng Fanchen stood in front of the desk with his hands behind his back, and asked coldly with his back to Meng Xueye.
Meng Xue Ye said: "The second son's left shoulder has a scar, and it seems that he was injured by a strong sword qi. ”
Meng Fanchen was silent for a moment, and then asked, "And then?"
Meng Xueye's face changed, "Second son, he didn't say anything, he seemed to be guarding against me." ”
"Smack!" Meng Fanchen turned around and slapped Meng Xueye in the face, "I can't do such a thing, what's the use of raising you?"
Meng Xueye covered her face and knelt down, "Owner, I've done my best..."
"Okay, let's go down!" Meng Fanchen waved his hand and said, "Keep staring, don't come to me these days, you can deal with anything yourself." ”
After Meng Xueye left, Meng Fanchen opened the letter that Yan Shangci handed to him. Looking at the above few words, his pupils suddenly constricted, as if he was extremely angry and unwilling.
"Ling Lang is humble and polite, brave and resourceful, and he is a good boy. He has the grace to save Shang Ci's life, and Shang Ci also has a dependence on him, so I would like to allow Shang Ci to be his wife, and hope that the virtuous brother will be the master, and become a good couple. ”
Why? Why is that evil seed so well received? He is the son of that man, he should be cowardly and incompetent, and he should be afraid of me, and he should lose his own father's face! Thinking of Meng Chuanqing's performance in Yiqing Villa, he was even more angry, it turned out that that evil seed had been disguised all along, and was as deep as his biological father.
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and there was a dull pain in my chest, which was a recurrence of an old injury. Twenty years ago, the old wounds left by the battle of Tianluo Mountain, in that battle, he not only lost his martial arts, but also left behind a hidden disease. Although he finally recovered his martial arts, he could no longer reach the peak of his former state, and could only rely on continuous retreat to improve.
The initiator of everything is the biological father of the evil seed - Lou Zhongcong. The father and the son paid the debt, and he swore that he would definitely make that evil seed worse than dead!
Looking at the letter in his hand, his eyes gradually became gloomy, and he lit a candle, and the letter paper turned into ashes......
[For the past events of 20 years ago, see "Past Events: Meng Fanchen" for details]
After Meng Fanchen's retreat, Sang Yinyan and Meng Jin went out one after another, but Meng Chuanqing didn't pay attention to them because he had been with Yan Shangci all the time.
Yan Shangci quickly adapted to this unfamiliar environment, but because he was only accompanied by wheat, he seemed a little bored. With curiosity, she visited Meng Chuanqing's room. Seeing that the room was neat and monotonous, he couldn't help but say, "It's the same as my brother's room, simple and tidy." She turned her head to look at Meng Chuanqing, and said seriously: "You don't like superfluous things to appear here, because you don't want others to see through you! In other words, except for the people you want to believe, you are wary of everyone else, and you don't want to show your truest side." You're so tired!"
Meng Chuanqing looked at her in surprise, it was really not simple to be able to see the master's mind from the furnishings of a person's room. In fact, she is also a two-faced person like herself! The difference is that she is deliberately disguised, but she is inadvertently revealed. So, as she said, he was tired, and she was far happier than she was. He smiled wryly, "If one day, you and I will switch identities, you will know why I am wary of everyone." Although it also keeps out many good things, sometimes it is involuntary. ”
When a person is afraid, he cannot help but be vigilant, because once he relaxes, he will expose his weakness, and then he will be grabbed by others, suppressed and excluded, and will be forever controlled by others, suffering for a lifetime.
Yan Shangci smiled and said: "Why do you need to exchange identities? I have long understood your situation, I just want to tell you, no matter when and where, don't turn me away, I will always be on your side." ”
When Meng Chuanqing heard this, he was all moved, and took Yan Shangci's hand and kissed it.
The two walked out of the room hand in hand, just bumping into Meng Xueye. She looked at the two of them and said meaningfully: "The second son is really bold." ”
Meng Chuanqing looked at her, thought for a while, and said, "I'm even bolder." ”
Before Meng Xueye could react, Meng Chuanqing suddenly sealed her acupoint and said, "I'm going out to be chic, your eyeliner must be following closely, in this way, how can I have fun?"
Meng Xue couldn't move at night, but her eyes were full of surprise. Meng Chuanqing said again: "Since you are so obedient, you should go to the study to guard your father." After that, he moved Meng Xueye to Meng Fanchen's study, found a bottle of medicine in his cupboard, and stuffed it into her mouth. "This is the Sleeping Pill, enough to make you sleep until the day your father comes out. ”
After solving Meng Xueye, Meng Chuanqing left the study in a chic manner, and Yan Shangci asked, "Hiding her in Uncle Meng's study, aren't you afraid that he will find out?"
Meng Chuanqing said: "First, my father practiced martial arts in the secret room, and if he didn't come out before the end of the day, he couldn't find her; second, no one was allowed to enter my father's study, so that others would not find her and wake her up; third, I wanted my father to find and wake her up after he got out, which was also a small challenge. And in the meantime, I'm going to go out of the village to the fullest. ”
"Do you hate him?" asked Yan Shangci.
Meng Chuanqing was stunned. He didn't know what he had done wrong to make his father hate him so much. Whenever he sees the children of other people's families being able to bear the knees of their parents, how much he longs. He longs for his parents to give him more care, and no matter how tired he is, he also tries to do his best in his father's requirements. He tried his best to prove that he was extraordinary and made his father face up to his existence, but the better and better he did, the less he was taken seriously by his father. He is in a dilemma, obeying his father's words will only make his father hate him even more, but if he disobeys him, he is afraid that he will lose this home and lose this last bit of warmth.
All these years, all he had asked for was a word of praise from his father. The indifferent attitude again and again finally made him understand that his father would never say a good word to himself, so he let go, maybe only disobedience will make his father face his existence!
Yan Shangci saw that Meng Chuanqing was silent, knowing that she was asking about his heart knot, she sighed and said, "Why don't you talk to Uncle Meng calmly?"
Meng Chuanqing said hatefully: "He never gave me a chance." ”
Yan Shangci took his hand and said softly: "Don't be hateful, hatred will make you more painful, if you are tired or unhappy, come to me." I will always be on your side, and I will always give you a chance to speak. ”
As he was talking, he suddenly heard someone shouting in the courtyard: "Second son!"
Meng Chuanqing was shocked, "This seems to be Sang Jun's voice, could it be that my cousin is back." He left Yan Shangci and ran out.
Sang Jun's voice also drew out Meng Chuanxin in the room, and the two of them looked at him panting, and they felt a little uneasy. Sang Jun's kung fu is not bad, being able to be tired like this proves that he is very anxious, and the only thing that can make him anxious is Sang You's worries.
Before Meng Chuanqing asked, he heard Sang Jun say: "Second son, come with me." ”
"Cousin, what's wrong with her?"
"Do you know what tomorrow will be?"
Meng Chuanqing thought for a while and said, "It's my uncle's sacrifice day, no wonder, I said why my mother hasn't seen anyone for a long time, and she has already set off for Beibi Mountain." ”
Sang Jun said: "Miss knew that you had come back safely, so she couldn't wait to rush back, and on the way, she suddenly remembered that tomorrow was her father's death day, and immediately rode her horse to the north mountain." However, her body is very weak, she has not rested for a few days, how can she walk such a long distance. ”
Meng Chuanqing sighed, "You can't stop her temper, she is a filial daughter, how can you not go to her father's sacrifice day, even if she is paralyzed, she will climb over." ”
"Teaser, you and Sang Jun go to her. The eldest brother thought about it behind closed doors, but his mother and Steward Meng were not there, and I was watching the village for the time being. Meng Chuanxin said.
Meng Chuanqing was immediately about to set off with Sang Jun, Yan Shangci came out at this time, grabbed his arm, "Chuanqing, what did you promise me? ”
Meng Chuanqing smiled: "Okay!"
Sang Jun glanced at Yan Shangci and took a step first, and Meng Chuanqing then took Yan Shangci and Wheat to chase after him.
"Chuanqing, you really don't care about Wulinzhuang anymore?" Yan Shangci and Meng Chuanqing sat on the same horse, hugged his waist, and asked.
"Whatever, what does it do? How can a mere martial arts village be as precious as my cousin, she is a priceless treasure. ”
"I heard that she is rich, is it true?"
"Of course, as long as she is willing, it is not a problem to buy ten martial arts villages. ”
"Huh, so rich, did you inherit the family property?"
She's a talented woman in business. When he was ten years old, he was sent by his mother to study business in the Western Regions, and he succeeded in learning in only five years, and then spent another two years making himself the richest man in the Central Plains. Because she keeps a low profile and doesn't like to appear in public, she is not known. ”
When several people caught up with Sang Youwei, she fainted because she was tired, and Sang Jun helped her to a grass to rest. Meng Chuanqing came to Yan Shangci's side and asked, "Are you afraid of pain?"
"I'm afraid. ”
"Then you have to bear with it. ”
"What do you want to do?"
Meng Chuanqing said with a pleading look: "Borrow a few drops of your blood to save my cousin." "The fig should have fused with her blood, and her blood might be able to make her cousin's body heal as soon as possible.
Yan Shangci was refreshed, and without thinking about it, he took off the hairpin on his head, handed it to Meng Chuanqing, and then stretched out one of his hands and said, "Come on!"
Meng Chuanqing was a little unbearable and refused to receive the hairpin. Yan Shangci said: "As long as you want me to do it, no matter how painful it is, I can do it." Then she cut her own palm. She is only a frowning brow when she once feared blood when she saw blood, but today she has let herself bleed, and she has the courage to cut her own hand when she once pierced the face of others. Unconsciously, she has gradually become stronger, and love is really a great power.
"Why don't you look for something to continue?" The blood flowed out, and Yan Shangci realized that Meng Chuanqing came empty-handed. Meng Chuanqing smiled, and suddenly his left palm moved, and a blue circle of light appeared on his left palm. Yan Shangci's blood droplets formed beads of blood in the aperture.
Meng Chuanqing came to Sang Youyou's side with the aperture, picked up her unconscious with one hand, opened her mouth, shook her left palm, and the blood beads in the aperture turned into a stream of blood~ to Sang Youyou's mouth. His stunt seemed to be magical, which made Sang Jun beside him envious. When he was playing in the water when he was a child, Meng Chuanqing discovered that he had this stunt, and because it was too incredible, he never used it easily.
Wheat helped Yan Shangci bandage his wounds, and the two came to Meng Chuanqing's side together. Yan Shangci asked, "What now?"
Meng Chuanqing looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting dark, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to Wulin Village." Let's find a place to stay nearby! Tomorrow - let's go to Suzhou City!"
Go see the outside world and go to the rivers and lakes.
