Yang Chengliang sighed lightly when he heard this, his brows tightened, and he didn't say a word for a long time, and the hall was so quiet that it was terrifying.

When everyone in the hall was worried about how to break the long silence, someone at the back of the hall suddenly laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, it's not early! Everyone go to the house to eat, and if you don't eat, my old Hu will be hungry!"

When Yang Chengliang saw it, his frowning brows stretched for a moment, and he said with a smile: "Ying Long, when did you come back, why didn't you say a word?"

Hu Yinglong snorted and said: "You old boy didn't tell me when he was promoted, why did I tell you when I came back!"

Yang Chengliang feigned anger and said: "You are getting bigger and smaller, come to my study, I want to teach you a good lesson!"

As he spoke, he looked at Ouyang Bei again, and said in a deep voice: "Ouyang Bei, you also come here, I have a few words to say to you." ”

Ouyang Bei hurriedly agreed, followed Meng Dongting's eyes, and entered the study with Yang Chengliang.

The crowd will be greeted by Hu Yinglong to eat, all hula into the inner hall, the hall is instantly empty only Meng Dongting alone, when the spring is cold, the lights are on, and the hall is deep. Meng Dongting stood quietly for a long time, but no one in the Yang Mansion came to greet him.

Meng Dongting has experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, and he knows what to do, so he smiled bitterly at the moment, and said in his heart: "Meng Dongting, Meng Dongting, you will die on this hard mouth, won't this offend people again?" Thinking about his personality, he is easy to be angry, and he will offend people with one mouth, but he is afraid that Ouyang Bei will be in a dilemma and difficult to be a man.

Meng Dongting stood alone in the hall, and heard everyone eating and drinking in the distance, talking and laughing, and the sound of drinking was endless, which made people feel very sad.

He walked to the courtyard of the Hou Mansion, looked up at the stars in the sky, and inexplicably, a loneliness hit his heart, and tears were already in his eyes.

Meng Dongting sighed lightly, and said in his heart: "What's wrong with me? I'm still alive now, isn't it already good?" He wiped away his tears, and felt a little hungry, touched his belt, fortunately, there were still a few taels of silver in his wallet, so it was better to go out and find some food.

Meng Dongting smiled slightly, and was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly thought of Ouyang Bei and Hu Yinglong, and remembered that it was not trivial to have experienced life and death with these two people, or to see each other late, so he turned back to the hall and waited for them to come out.

Nearly half an hour later, Ouyang Bei walked out. He suddenly saw that Meng Dongting was still standing alone in the hall, and said strangely: "What's the matter, no one beckons Brother Meng to dinner?"

Meng Dongting smiled slightly and said, "Brother Ouyang, don't talk about this, I should go." ”

Ouyang Bei nodded and said, "Brother Meng is hungry if he dares to be affectionate." It's okay, as a treat for the eldest brother, let's go to the street to eat and drink. ”

Meng Dongting shook his head and said, "Brother Ouyang, you and I are also destined to go through hardships together. Now that you are safe and thoughtful, you have become a school captain, and Meng has everything on his mind, so he will leave. As soon as he said that, he walked out the door.

Ouyang Beida was taken aback, he didn't expect him to speak like this, he was in a hurry for a while, he grabbed Meng Dongting's arm suddenly, pulled it into the courtyard, and whispered: "Brother Lu Meng, why did you say such a thing! Could it be that you blame your brother for not protecting you just now?"

Meng Dongting said with a smile: "What did the eldest brother say, you and I have taken care of each other and worked through hardships together, but I am unobtrusive, I am afraid that it will affect the eldest brother!"

Ouyang Bei had a bitter face, not knowing how to speak. After a long time, he said: "Brother, we are our own people, no matter what happens today, there are some things that my brother wants to tell you clearly." ”

Meng Dongting nodded and said calmly: "Big brother, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Ouyang Bei sighed and said, "Brother Meng, you can't let that Lord Niu get off the stage today, and Hou Ye Yang is very unhappy. He said that you are arrogant, and he does not want to use you unless you change your face and do it yourself. Brother Meng, the way of the official, harmony is precious, it's not that my brother says you, you ...... Why do you have to embarrass you like this?"

Meng Dongting looked up at the starry sky, smiled faintly, and said, "The eldest brother has learned a lesson, and Meng Dongting has learned from himself. However, Meng is thirty years old, has no wife and no children, and has lived a lifetime, and Brother Wu's words would have been heard ten years ago, which undoubtedly greatly alerted me, but today, it is too late. ”

Ouyang Bei saw his aura, and he was even more distressed, shaking his head and saying, "Anyway, my Uncle Bao is decided." You and I have been friends for life, and I can't see you go outside to be the lawyer of the Rausch again. Let's go out and have a drink with me first!" said he pulled Meng Dongting to drink with him.

The two arrived at a small restaurant, and Ouyang Bei ordered a pound of white dry and a few dishes of side dishes, and tried his best to pour them. Meng Dongting couldn't bear to spoil Ouyang Bei's interest, so he suppressed the conversation and picked up some side things to chat.

After drinking to the heart, Meng Dongting asked: "Brother Ouyang, you just told me that you chased and killed the Donghai faction and the Jinyi Guard in the Huguo Alley that day, and you also received a heavy blow on the back, and then you fainted. I wonder who saved you?"

Ouyang Bei smiled: "It's a coincidence, it's really a bit magical to think about it now." I was originally surrounded by the Donghai faction and the gang of Jinyiwei gangsters, but fortunately, Li Langzhong was also by Lord Yang's side that day, and Li Langzhong recognized the commander of Jinyiwei, and saw them committing murder on the street, so he rescued me. ”

Meng Dongting couldn't help but wonder: "Looking at that Li Langzhong's demeanor in the Hou Mansion today, he is from a Jinshi background, how can he have such martial arts?"

Ouyang Bei said with a smile: "That Li Da is an all-round talent in humanities and martial arts, and he is especially famous in the capital, and it is not for us mortals to pay attention to." In fact, Hou Ye Yang was surrounded by a cloud of masters, and in addition to Lord Li that day, there was also a Master Yao Guangyao. This person's martial arts are also extremely strong, and in front of these two people, it is expected that the Jinyi Guard and the Donghai faction will not dare to make a mistake. ”

Meng Dongting snorted and said, "After this experience, the current people of these parties are no longer rounding up the eldest brother?"

Ouyang Bei groaned for a while, and said: "These many people besieged and killed me, not really because they had any deep hatred with me, but mainly for the sake of the important thing on me, so they did not hesitate to use many people to chase and kill me." ”

He paused, raised his wine glass, drank it all, and said, "Now that I have handed over the things to Yang Houye, I wonder if these people from the Donghai faction and Jinyiwei will come to embarrass me again." ”

Meng Dongting bowed his head and said: "The so-called husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, it is really bitter for the eldest brother." ”

Ouyang Bei sighed slightly and said, "I think I used to be a little head catcher in Yangzhou City, but I was also content." Who knew that he was inexplicably involved in such a big case, and now he has this easy glory, somehow, he just feels uneasy in his heart. A big official like Captain Dunwu, who inspected the school, didn't dare to think of it in the past, but now I actually ran into it, it's really like that, alas!"

He added another glass of wine for Meng Dongting and said, "Brother Meng, I really don't have any friends in the capital to talk to, even if you are an elder brother, please stay with your brother!

Meng Dongting heard him say sincerely, and he sighed in his heart, and temporarily suppressed his farewell.

Ouyang Bei's wine was up, and he spoke without hindrance, but Meng Dongting had deep internal strength, and he couldn't even drink a few buckets. He listened to Ouyang Bei sing Yangzhou tune, talking about the scenery of handling cases in the past, and when he was young, he finally got drunk.

Meng Dongting helped Ouyang Bei and slowly paced down the street, suddenly remembering that the two had survived the tribulation together a few months ago, but it was he who supported him like this at that time.

Meng Dongting had mixed feelings in his heart, and a trace of cold rain drifted under the cold night, and accompanied the two of them back to the Yang Mansion mansion.

After a few days, Ouyang Bei found a residence in Beijing, which was used as the residence of the envoy, although the scale could not be compared with the officials of the court, but the living room was spacious, the flowers and trees were sparse, and it was also a little magnificent. Ouyang Bei was busy with official business every day, so he invited a few account masters to help him in the house, and Meng Dongting acted as Ouyang Bei's horse archer, and accompanied him to the school on weekdays, and sometimes came up with some ideas.

It's just that since I said goodbye to Hu Yinglong in Yangfu that day, I haven't seen anyone else, I don't know what he was busy with, and I wanted to thank him for his support all the way but never had the opportunity.

Suddenly, Ouyang Bei and Meng Dongting were training soldiers in the school field, and the guards in the camp hurriedly came and said, "Lord Ouyang, Li Langzhong has arrived." Ouyang Bei was taken aback, and said to Meng Dongting: "Master Li is here, I have to go to greet him in person! said that he hurriedly ran out of the school field, but heard a clear voice say: "Lord Ouyang stayed, I happened to pass by here, I just wanted to stop by to see you." ”

Ouyang Bei and Meng Dongting looked at the man together, and saw that this person was handsome and chic, with a slender body, and the jade tree was in the wind, it was Li Nanxing.

Li Nanxing smiled at Ouyang Bei and said, "Lord Ouyang, can military affairs go smoothly recently?"

Ouyang Bei hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern." Recently, the soldiers in the battalion have been practicing as usual, and the last general will not dare to neglect his duties. ”

Li Nanxing's official residence in the martial arts selection of Shilang, a few grades higher than Ouyang Bei's captain, is because Ouyang Bei does not dare to slack off a little.

Li Nanxing nodded, saw Meng Dongting standing aside, and asked, "This friend is so familiar, ...... dare to be affectionate?"

Ouyang Bei hurriedly said: "This is a close friend named Meng Dongting. If the adults were not forgetful, they would have seen him in the Marquis Yang's mansion that day. ”

Li Nanxing sighed, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be this brother, fortunately!

Li Nanxing is handsome in appearance, and it seems that he is several years younger than Ouyang Bei, but when he speaks, he is old-fashioned and has a well-trained appearance. At this time, I heard him say that he was lucky, but I didn't know if he really thought like this in his heart.

Li Nanxing no longer paid attention to Meng Dongting, turned his head and said, "Lord Ouyang, you have been in the capital for some time, but you have never had the opportunity to make friends with celebrities in Beijing. After a few days, there happens to be a first-class official in the court who wants to hold a birthday banquet, you should take care of it and prepare, but don't miss this opportunity again. ”

Ouyang Bei hurriedly thanked him when he heard this: "It's rare that Lord Li takes care of me so much, thank you for mentioning it, thank you!"
