At that moment, Meng Dongting followed Hu Yinglong out of the tavern, and the two walked on the street one after the other.

After a while, two people on the side of the street ran towards them, dressed in military uniforms, saluted Hu Yinglong, and led two war horses in the army.

Hu Yinglong took the reins and said, "Brother Meng, please get on the horse!" Meng Dongting no longer hesitated, and sat down on the horse's back.

As soon as Hu Yinglong lifted the reins, he galloped out first, and Meng Dongting was not far behind, and followed closely behind on horseback.

The two of them rode to the north gate of the Beijing Division, and when the officers at the city gate saw Hu Yinglong, they immediately ran up and said happily: "General Hu is here!

Hu Yinglong laughed and said, "I'll look for you to drink in a few days, you open the city gate first, I have a business trip!" As he spoke, he took out the token and let the officer check it, and the two of them flew out of the city.

Hu Yinglong galloped all the way to the outskirts of the city, in the middle of the night, the moonlight was reflected on the road, Meng Dongting looked back at Beijing City, thought of Wu Qianhe for a while, and thought of Ouyang Bei for a while, and his heart was entangled in every way.

After a short walk, I saw Hu Yinglong galloping towards a hillside, under the bright moonlight, the mountain road was barren, and there was still residual snow underground.

Meng Dongting muttered in his heart, I don't know how Hu Yinglong led him to this deserted place, could it be to his own disadvantage? But he thought about it and thought: "General Hu is an open-minded and unruly person, and he is by no means a despicable and shameless villain. If he really wants to disadvantage me for the affairs of the Yang Mansion that day, he can attack me in the tavern, why go to such great lengths to lure me into this wilderness?"

The second rode to the top of the mountain, Hu Yinglong turned over and dismounted, and beckoned Meng Dongting to get off the horse as well, only to see that this was the top of the mountain wall, and I really didn't know what the difference was here.

Hu Yinglong seemed to see through Meng Dongting's thoughts, and said: "I think it's quiet here, it's a good place to chat and talk, and there is no other intention." Brother Meng, just sit on the ground!" said as he lay on his back to the sky and fell on a piece of rotten grass.

Meng Dongting didn't say much, only jumped off the horse and found a place to sit down.

Hu Yinglong said: "The moonlight is bright tonight, look at this huge Beijing city, it is clear that it is under your feet!"

When Meng Dongting heard this, he looked down from the top of the mountain, and saw that the city of Beijing was illuminated by the moonlight, with pavilions and pavilions, streets and alleys, as if it were in front of him. Meng Dongting searched with his eyes, wanting to find the martial family's mansion, but it was difficult to find it for a while.

How did Hu Yinglong know that Meng Dongting was looking for that beloved, seeing that his eyes were wandering, and he said that he was looking for the Forbidden City, and said with a smile: "Brother Meng is looking for the residence of the emperor Lao'er?"

Meng Dongting looked far away along the direction he pointed, and saw that the palace pavilions were combed and laid out, and the layout was rigorous. This Forbidden City has been operated by the royal family for several generations, and during this period, it is no longer comparable to any other architectural mansion.

Hu Yinglong saw that he was almost looking at it, looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "Brother Meng, come and see, let his emperor Lao'er call himself the Son of Heaven, and it is not at the feet of you and me at this time!haha...... Haha!

Meng Dongting couldn't help but be stunned when he heard his disobedient words, although his own mouth was also fast, every time he was arrogant in his bones, he had never had a comfortable life when he grew so big, but he had never said such a rebellious word, and he couldn't help but look at Hu Yinglong in a daze.

Hu Yinglong looked up to the sky and said: "The sassy west wind is full of courtyards, and it is difficult for the cold fragrance and cold butterflies to come." If I am the Green Emperor in his year, I will report that the peach blossoms will bloom together. ”

Meng Dongting listened to him chant these lines of poetry, and his heart was even more shocked, Hu Yinglong's chant came from the "chrysanthemum" of Huangchao, which was rumored to be made before the Huangchao rebelled. Such rebellious words have long been banned by the imperial court, and ordinary people will never dare to say them casually.

I only heard Hu Yinglong chant again: "When autumn comes, September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom." The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor. ”

These lines are still poems written by the Yellow Nest.

Meng Dongting thought about Huang Chao's poems, thinking that he had suffered from the suffering of this world since he was sensible, and he was empty of literature and martial arts, but he was forced to set up stalls on the streets to make a living, and he couldn't help but let out a clear roar.

Hu Yinglong sat up and said, "The eldest husband is alive, he should be in charge of the three-foot Qingfeng, gallop across the horse, and establish meritorious hegemony! Brother Meng, what did my brother say these words?"

Meng Dongting thought that he had become a death row prisoner for no reason, and after escaping, he was framed everywhere, and he didn't know where his future would be, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to make a difference in this life.

Hu Yinglong saw that he didn't belong to his thoughts, so he reached over with a big hand, held Meng Dongting's hands, and said loudly: "Brother Meng, although my friendship with you in the past is far inferior to that Ouyang Bei, why does Hu still want to find you even though he is not afraid of difficulties?"

Before Meng Dongting could reply, Hu Yinglong immediately replied by himself: "First, because Hu is not used to seeing this world, what he hates most in his life is that heroes are not willing. When I heard about my brother's plight, I felt a sense of sympathy, so I was looking for you everywhere at night; secondly, I traveled to the front line this time, and found that although there were many fierce generals in our border army, there was only a lack of intelligent men like you, Brother Meng. Brother Meng, brother is here to beg you again, would you like to follow me to the border to make a contribution?"

Under the moonlight, I saw Hu Yinglong's sincerity, Meng Dongting's heart was moved, and he knew that Hu Yinglong was indeed serious. It's just that no one appreciated himself in the past, thinking that Lord Shangshuwu of the military department, why wasn't that?

Meng Dongting's heart was agitated, he looked at the starry sky from afar, and thought: "I have never forgotten my fame, but I have become a sinner by mistake, so that today it is difficult to vote for a country and a family, and I have ruined my ambitions, I ...... Am I going to be the lawyer who writes pleadings for people again? But I'm ...... I am a sin, even if I join the army, how will I get out in the future?" he gritted his teeth and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing that he was silent, Hu Yinglong couldn't help but say, "Brother Meng, what else do you have to worry about?

Meng Dongting shook his head and said, "No, General Hu admires me so much that I can't believe you." ”

Hu Yinglong snorted and said loudly: "Then what are you going to do? Do you still want to be your lawyer who writes pleadings for others?"

Meng Dongting's body trembled, and suddenly sounded in his ears When someone asked why he did such a thankless job as writing pleadings on behalf of others, his answer at that time was only four words "ask for life for the people", he grew up in a poor place, and was bullied since he was a child, and he also saw that the poor people around him were bullied and oppressed by others like himself but had nowhere to be reasonable, and even worse, he could only swallow his anger when he was beaten to death, and human life was not as good as grass mustard, so he vowed to use what he had learned to open an upward road for these poor people.

Even if the jailers on Yangzhou death row beat him to death and asked him to confess his guilt and surrender to the law, as long as he kept a trace of clarity in his mind, he never dared to forget what he wished. At the moment when life and death were at stake, he suddenly understood one thing in his heart.

The reason why he can endure what others can't endure and endure all kinds of inhuman torture is because he has always hidden this heart of "asking for the people's life" in his heart.

Meng Dongting was born in a lowly family, and he studied hard for ten years, just so that one day he could rehabilitate himself and ask for his life for the people. Such an innocent person, but now he has become a fugitive from the end of the world.

Meng Dongting couldn't help but wet his eyes, lowered his head suddenly, and sighed: "General Hu, it's not that Meng Dongting doesn't know what to do, and he deliberately lives up to the general's hospitality, but I think that I, Meng Dongting, am an outlaw and a sin, even if I go to the border with you, how can I have a bright future?"

When Hu Yinglong heard this, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

Meng Dongting didn't expect that he would sincerely confide in his inner worries, but he was ridiculed, and he was furious in his heart, and shouted: "General Hu! I tell you what I am worried about, what is your intention in laughing at me like this?"

Hu Yinglong hurriedly suppressed his laughter, and said with a solemn expression: "Brother Meng, you are slow to get angry, I just laughed at you and your face was so tender." Eight out of ten in our army are prisoners, who have committed great crimes, murder and arson, and Xie Liu from Qingfeng Village in Xuzhou were born as bandits, and you also saw that Hu took him in without care, and you are still afraid of your little thing?"

Meng Dongting heard him say that there was indeed something to do, and hurriedly said: "But General Hu has led the royal forbidden army!"

Hu Yinglong said with a smile: "The famous royal family, called the forbidden army, is not all a coolie who carries a knife and sells goods? Do you think, who is willing to make a good living and not do anything, but in the army, he sleeps overnight, and his life is rotten, and he has no shadow of wealth? If he does not commit a dogma and end up with a family that is difficult to return to, who wants to risk life and death? To be honest, it is better to beg for food on the street than to be far away from the frontier. ”

Meng Dongting shook his head and said: "I don't care about the hard work on the frontier and the death on the battlefield. It's just that I wear a guilty body, even if I join the army, I am afraid that I will not be able to come out, and I will be a nobody until I die. I don't know how much leisure I have to bear, so it's better to walk in the rivers and lakes as freely. ”

Hu Yinglong stretched out his huge palm, slapped Meng Dongting on the shoulder, and said loudly: "Brother Meng, what kind of discouragement is this? In the future, we will do a great cause, pacify Mongolia, and break the Qiangrong, and at that time, if you say that you have made a small mistake, you will really kill and escape from prison, and you are afraid that the emperor will not forgive you for that little crime? At that time, not only will you be innocent, but maybe you will be made a marquis and knighted, and you will be rich and glorious for the rest of your life!"

Meng Dongting was originally disheartened, but when he heard Hu Yinglong wake up, he was shocked in his heart, and thought: "Yes! Why didn't I think of this section? If I make great contributions to the imperial court, and the Holy Lord gives me a decree to return my innocence, why can't he go to the scientific examination to gain fame in the future?"

Meng Dongting looked up, only to see that Hu Yinglong's eyes were full of encouragement, he was grateful, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't care what official title." As long as I can see the light of day again, return my innocence, and never forget your grace today. His heart was so stirred that he burst into tears.

Hu Yinglong was very happy when he saw him look like this. He clasped Meng Dongting's hands tightly and laughed: "As long as Brother Meng is willing to draw his sword to help, with his strategy and martial arts, are you afraid that he will not be able to move the minister?"

Meng Dongting burst into tears, looking up to the sky and howling, as if he was going to throw the grievances out of the clouds. Hu Yinglong was overjoyed, and he couldn't stop laughing.

These two people are deep in internal strength, at this time the howling sound shook the sky, and there were some birds and beasts inhabiting on the top of the mountain, and they all taught him to wake up with a whistling sound, and they were so shocked that a group of birds flew around, and they circled the tree three times.
