Ji Furong's body was as sluggish and decadent as a small cabbage that had been ravaged by autumn frost, and she threw herself into the arms of the person who came, without any movement.

It was only at this time that Meng Ran breathed a sigh of relief gently, and a tired breath emanated from the inside out.

The spectators who watched the battle were shocked, and although they had already concluded that Meng Ran was the winning side before the battle ended, they couldn't help but marvel.

A young man from an unknown place defeated the eldest lady of the family who had been inherited for a long time without any suspense.

In the eyes of most people, this is a battle worth learning, a young man from a small family, defeating the eldest lady of the Ji family who has learned the true trick of the Dao Sword Rune Sutra.

Only a handful of far-sighted people saw something else, and Meng Ran dominated everything from beginning to end of this battle.

first provoked Ji Furong to lose patience with a gambling contract, and then confused Ji Furong's mind with the right time, place and people, and then used his body to dodge Ji Furong's attack, making it lose its sharpness.

Finally, and most crucially, since Meng Ran took out the sword, he has intentionally or unintentionally induced Ji Furong's sword momentum.

According to common sense, the eldest lady of the Ji family must have more combat experience than Meng Ran, an outsider, after all, the Ji family is a high-ranking family, and there are countless servants and servants, and Ji Furong's competition on weekdays will never be less.

But in the actual battle, Meng Ran showed a wealth of experience that did not match his actual age, and defeated Ji Furong with superb means.

After the silence returned to the vicinity of the street, he held Ji Furong's figure and asked in a clear voice, "When is the little brother going to enter my Ji Jiawu Garden?"

Meng Ran thought for a moment and said softly, "The sooner the better." ”

The figure was silent for a few breaths, and said, "How is today?"

Meng Ran said: "Okay." But I'm going to wait for someone. ”

"Yes, when the time comes, you go directly to the gate of Jijia Wuyuan, and we will wait for you there. ”

After the figure finished saying this, he picked up the unconscious Ji Furong and walked in the direction of the Ji family.

After the people of the Ji family walked away, the young boy who was standing in front of the window on the second floor applauded a few times, unabashedly his appreciation, and said: "In Xiao Zhengyang, Xiashengzhou, I don't know my brother's surname?"

Meng Ran raised his head slightly, glanced at the son-in-law on the second floor, and said, "Hangzhou Meng Ran." ”

Xiao Zhengyang laughed and said loudly: "It's better to meet by chance, Xiao wants to invite Brother Meng to have morning tea together, can you?"

Meng Ran said in a harmonious voice: "I don't dare to ask for it." ”

The other spectators who wanted to befriend Meng Ran all regretted a little after Meng Ran entered the inn lobby, feeling that they should not be self-conscious and missed the opportunity to make friends with this young handsome man in vain.

......

Meng Ran walked into the lobby of the inn and found a well-lit place to sit down, and the shopkeeper's burning gaze fell on him, with countless awe in addition to admiration in his eyes.

But he didn't feel any pride, as calm as before.

There was a sound of tapping, Xiao Zhengyang came to the lobby, saluted Meng Ran quite seriously, and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Meng has excellent talents, this battle will definitely spread widely, and at that time, your glorious deeds will be spread throughout Suzhou or Jiangnan Dongdao." ”

Meng Ran replied with a strong salute and said, "Brother Xiao, don't elevate the junior brother too much, I was just lucky enough to win the eldest lady of the Ji family." If I had to do it again, the outcome would still be unknown. ”

Xiao Zhengyang smiled and said: "Little Brother Meng is too humble, if others win a big victory, they will definitely announce the world with great fanfare, saying how they are good, only the virtuous brother is so humble, it is really admirable." ”

Meng Ran shook his head slightly, and didn't explain much, the reason why he was able to win this battle had a lot to do with his sudden breakthrough, so no matter what, this battle was won by luck, not as easy as outsiders thought.

Xiao Zhengyang looked at Meng Ran, who looked tired, and said softly: "It seems that I can't drink morning tea, so I'll sit here with Brother Meng Xian." ”

Meng Ran showed a grateful expression, slowly closed his eyes, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

In the cool autumn breeze, two teenagers sat at the same table, speechless to each other.

......

Capital.

At the beginning of the morning sun, the capital is already boiling, and the bizarre events that happened last night are secretly rumored among the luxurious mansions.

It is said that Zhang Ziyi, the head of the military attaché, actually had a private meeting with Liang Ying, the king of Jin, last night, and was arrested by the people of the Emperor's City Division.

His Majesty the Emperor is sympathetic to the courtiers and holds a court meeting every three days, so there is no early court today, so many officials are still in their own mansions and have not yet gone to the yamen of various ministries.

As a result, all sorts of gossip spread rapidly.

In Wei Fuzhong, Wei Shanhui, whose eyes were red, sat quietly in the study, pondering solemnly, wanting to find crucial clues from the news obtained.

Zhang Ziyi of the Pillar Kingdom had a private meeting with Liang Ying, the king of Jin, this is one of the most intolerable things for His Majesty the Emperor, like the reverse scales of the dragon, those who touch it will die.

Why would the Elder of Zhuguo, who has never been involved in party disputes, act like this, this is obviously the way to die, but why does he still do it?

Wei Shanhui had a headache when he thought about it, his two mottled thick eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together, and there was a big word 'Chuan' on his forehead.

Seeing the master's appearance, the maid standing on the side immediately stretched out her wrist and gently rubbed Wei Shanhui's temples.

President Wei Shan breathed a long sigh of relief and asked softly, "Qingmei, is there any latest news?"

Qingmei has a beautiful appearance, a plump body, and a unique charm in her voice, "Master, it is said that the old man of Zhuguo is sick." ”

"Oh, you're sick?" Wei Shanhui laughed strangely and asked, "What kind of illness did you say?"

Qingmei said: "The news handed out by Zhang Fu said that after the boss drank last night, he took advantage of the wine to have a discussion with Zhang Jingyue, and accidentally caused the old wounds left when he was young, and he slowly woke up after being in a coma until the end of the night, and now he is sick in bed, I'm afraid he won't get better." ”

Wei Shanhui looked at the military strategy map on the desk in front of him with a gloomy face, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he ordered: "Check carefully, what happened last night, why Zhang Zhu appeared in Xingningfang, why was it so inopportunely seen by the people of the Imperial City. ”

"Yes. ”

Qingmei answered, ready to go out to do the things handed over by the master.

"Also, call the second child, I have something to look for him. ”

"Yes. ”

After Qingmei retreated, Wei Shanhui was the only one left in the study, he rubbed the corners of his sour eyes, and sighed with a hint of tiredness.

After a while, Wei Jingren knocked on the door of the study.

After the ceremony, Wei Jingren stood in front of the desk with a worried face, silently enduring his father's scrutinizing gaze.

However, after a while, Wei Jingren's forehead already had beads of sweat the size of beans, and the look of wanting to wipe it but not daring to wipe it was really pitiful.

Wei Shanhui glanced at his son and asked in a cold voice, "Do you know the purpose of my coming to you?"

Wei Jingren asked softly, "Father, but I want to ask where I went last night?"

Wei Shanhui glared at his son and scolded, "I need to ask you? Is there anyone in the capital who doesn't know that you went to Shendu Yuan last night? You tell me, what are you thinking in your head? Why did you go there?"

Wei Jingren breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he know that his father didn't know the news of his private meeting with the ancestor of the Chen family, so he slowly put down his hanging heart, and said in a low voice: "After I left the Wu Wangfu last night, I felt a little bored, so I went to Shendu Yuan to visit. Later, when I saw that it was a little late, I didn't dare to go home, for fear of disturbing your old man's rest, so I stayed in the outer house. ”

Wei Shanhui sneered and said, "You are really filial, why didn't I find out that you thought about me so much before?"

Wei Shanhui snorted lightly, changed the topic and said, "Have you heard about Zhang Zhuguo's private meeting with King Jin?"

Wei Jingren wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said softly, "I heard about it, I don't know how my father is going to act?"

Wei Shanhui said: "There is no need to care, just wait and see what happens, now the biggest headache is only His Majesty the Emperor." However, I always felt that there was something strange behind this incident, but it was difficult to grasp the truth in it. ”

Wei Jingren took over the conversation and said: "Zhang Zhuguo and King Jin have an old relationship, but that was a long time ago, in the past ten years, the two have never intersected, why they have a private meeting at night now, I really can't understand it." Could it be that King Jin never gave up that position?"

"Be cautious. Wei Shanhui scolded in a low voice and said, "That's a royal family matter, don't talk about it, we just need to do what we have to do." ”

There was a hint of disapproval in Wei Jingren's eyes, but he hid it very deeply, and when he spoke again, he had replaced it with the awe that his son should have when facing Lao Tzu, and said, "Father thinks the Wei family should go where to go?"

The fatigue on Wei Shanhui's face became a little heavier, and he said earnestly: "Naturally, it is a good student to assist Your Majesty, and it is the duty of a courtier." Liang Xinli, our family, can only be a relative and a minister, don't think about anything else, otherwise, the wealth of this family is about to come to an end.

Now the whole world is watching His Majesty's attitude, watching my attitude, but I don't have any attitude, I just want to pass on the authority in my hands unharmed.

Even so, there are not a few people who are hot on our Wei family, but they don't want to think about it, if it wasn't for your Lao Tzu and I working hard, how could I be the one who sat on the dragon chair, and the wealth of our family deserved it.

People in the world say that Wei's relatives interfere in politics, and that your sister is arrogant and domineering in the palace, but so what? As long as we hold the Tiger Ben Army in our hands, our Wei's will still be a wealthy family, and we can continue to live in happiness.

I've lived to this age, and I haven't enjoyed any blessings? I haven't seen anything? I've almost never sat in that seat, but is it easy to sit in? That seat is hot, and if I don't sit well, the whole race will perish, and instead of doing something that I am not sure of, it is better to seek some power and luck for future generations.

In the days to come, as long as you don't mess around, even if you lie on the merit book all day long to enjoy happiness, it's nothing, as a father, I am afraid that you will not be able to figure out your own position, and you will be angry, and finally ruin the relationship between Your Majesty and our family, and make a miserable end. ”
