Since returning from the birthday banquet in Wufu, Meng Dongting seems to have changed as a person, fooling around in the teahouse and wine shop all day long, not even going to the school grounds, and never receiving a penny less in the monthly salary, and it has turned into fine wine. Ouyang Bei saw it in his eyes, he was angry, but he was entangled in official duties all day long, and he had no time for anything else, and sometimes he couldn't help but blame him for a few words, but when he saw Meng Dongting's hanging, he also knew that it might not be useful to say it.

On this day, Meng Dongting was drunk like a drunk cat again, and returned to Ouyang Bei's lieutenant's mansion full of alcohol. At this time, it was getting late, but Meng Dongting didn't want to rest, so he took a wine bottle alone and sat in the courtyard alone, obsessed.

When he was drunk and dreaming of death, he suddenly heard someone talking in the room, but it was the housekeeper and the housekeeper chatting there.

I only heard the housekeeper say: "This Meng Gongzi really doesn't know what to do." It's just that if you don't go to work every day, the archer's fortune is a lot of money, and he only knows how to drink and have fun all day long. He also looks like a reader, so I really don't know how he reads this book. ”

The family in the wing room said: "I heard that the master said that this Meng Gongzi and him are lifelong friends. The lord indulged him so much, I am afraid that it will hinder his former feelings. ”

Meng Dongting listened to them whispering behind their backs, although he had no intention of listening, but the answers broke into his ears forcefully, and he couldn't listen to them if he didn't want to.

The housekeeper snorted and said, "It's not easy to be a good person these days! I heard that the old man wants to send this kid to the palace of Marquis Yang to be an official." Who knew that this kid was arrogant, and he dared to talk nonsense in front of the generals in the General's Mansion, and the old man was slashed hard, you say it's not ridiculous?"

The family was taken aback and said, "I have talked to this Meng Gongzi a few times, this person does have some knowledge, how could he be so ignorant and cause such trouble?"

The butler snorted and sneered: "He has knowledge? Let me tell you, this kid was originally a god stick who set up a stall on the street to look at people's faces!

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Do you know that that day in the Mansion of Marquis Yang, our master knelt down and kowtowed to those generals and lords to intercede! Otherwise, the kid surnamed Meng said wildly, can those generals still allow him to live until this time?"

When Meng Dongting heard this, his whole body was like pouring a basin of cold water, and he woke up eight minutes when he was drunk, and thought: "It turns out that there was such an incident that day! I didn't expect that Brother Ouyang would kowtow and kneel to those generals in order to protect me, I am really sorry for him." ”

He thought for a moment, "How can I stay here?" Brother Ouyang has done his best to me, so why should I trouble him again and make him worry about these trivial things?"

Meng Dongting stood in the courtyard, tidied up his clothes, and a sense of arrogance arose, and he said in his heart: "There is no master here, there is a place to keep the master, what will happen to the master of Beijing? Even if I go back to set up a stall to write paper, what will happen?" casually threw the wine bottle and strode towards the gate.

Meng Dongting saw the world very lightly at this time, the joys and sorrows of life, and he was in a hurry for decades, and he was already in the past.

He slowly walked out of the Captain's Mansion, at this time Ouyang Bei had not returned to the mansion, Meng Dongting knew that he was leaving this time, and he was afraid that he would never come back.

It's just that Meng Dongting didn't even want to leave letters at this time, Pingshui met, a tribulation, such friends were worth it, so why bother to disturb others again?

Meng Dongting left the Captain's Mansion and walked alone on the street, thinking about his thoughts all the way, but unconsciously, he passed by the door of the martial family's mansion. He was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "Am I just so unable to let go of the second lady of the martial arts? Could it be that I am thinking of her directly, and I am afraid that I will never see her again......?" What the hell is wrong with me?"

Meng Dongting looked at the gate of the martial arts family, knowing that Wu Qianhe was inside, a voice in his heart shouted, go see Wu Qianhe, even if it is just a glance. With his martial arts at this time, it is really easy to climb over the wall and enter. I just wanted to move my feet, but my legs were filled with lead, and it was difficult to walk.

She ...... Does she remember me? I was just a lowly little guy back then, and I wasn't her relative...... If any of those noble sons in Beijing are not a hundred times stronger than me, why should I bother myself? Even if she still misses me, what can I do now? A poor fugitive is just to make her sad. Meng Dongting's heart was sour, he sighed, and walked away slowly.

He saw a small liquor shop on the side of the street, which was deserted and empty, which suited his temperament at this time. Meng Dongting sat in, Zhang Luo took a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts, and poured himself a drink.

Meng Dongting drank a few glasses, looked at the street with his hand, and saw that the buildings of the Wufu were faintly visible in the night, and the wine entered his throat, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply for a while.

Suddenly, there was a "slap", and a knife slammed on the table.

Meng Dongting was startled, and suddenly looked up, only to see a big man with his hands on his chest, his eyes like electricity, looking at himself.

Meng Dongting was stunned and was about to speak.

The big man smiled and said, "Brother, you are not sick or painful, why are you sighing here for a long time?"

Before Meng Dongting could answer, the big man sat down and said, "It's a good night tonight, I'll have a drink or two with you!"

Meng Dongting closed his slightly hazy drunken eyes, and saw that the big man looked like he was in his thirties, with a high nose and eagle eyes, big shoulders and a round waist, and a mighty demeanor, who was not the guerrilla general Hu Yinglong.

I saw Hu Yinglong take out a silver ingot, throw it to the shopkeeper, and said, "I'll have a few drinks with my brother tonight, and you will serve you." ”

The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and hurriedly made a few hot stir-fries.

Meng Dongting's face was stunned, and he asked in surprise: "General Hu, I haven't seen you for a long time, how do you know that I am drinking here?"

Hu Yinglong's eyes swept away, his face was full of fierce looks, and he said: "You kid still know that I haven't seen you for a long time, why do you forget your new friends when you see them?"

Meng Dongting smiled apologetically and said, "General Hu, I'm really sorry, I haven't seen you since I came out of Marquis Yang's mansion that day, and I have no way to say hello to you!"

Hu Yinglong snorted and said, "Don't make excuses, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to find it!" Forget it, I don't bother to tell you so much, I just rushed back from the command of the general army of Xiong Wandi, guess what?"

Meng Dongting's heart sank, and he said secretly: "It turns out that General Hu has actually been to the front line these days, but I don't know why he returned to Beijing so quickly?" ”

Hu Yinglong said hesitantly: "On that day in the Yang Marquis Mansion, you said that the condescending and waterside formation laid by General Xiong was self-defeating, and you also said that this formation would inevitably be broken by the enemy in less than two months, right?"

Meng Dongting's heart moved, remembering that day in front of the generals of Yang Houye's mansion that he boasted about Haikou, saying that within two months, if the cottage of General Xiong was not captured, his head would not be needed, could it be that Hu Yinglong rushed back from the border front line so quickly, could it be that he really came to take his head?

But at this time, Meng Dongting was already tired, and he didn't care about anything anymore, and when he heard Hu Yinglong mention this, although he was a little surprised, he was calm as usual for a moment, and said with a smile: "I saw that Lord Niu didn't know the art of war that day, but he was still ashamed to speak, and he lost his sense of proportion for a while, and he opened his mouth to say a few words. Since I was a child, I have been this stinky temper, right and wrong, and there is no room for sand in my eyes. ”

Hu Yinglong said: "At first, I also thought you were crazy and opened your mouth, but when the Hou Ye sent me to the front line, I was really broken by the old man in more than ten days." In retrospect, my whole body suddenly cooled down, and I couldn't imagine that there was such an incisive insight in the world! You kid didn't go to the battlefield, just by just one map, you can gain insight into the military plane so far, it's really rare in the world! Fuck, let's have another drink!" he gave a thumbs up and poured wine for Meng Dongting.

Meng Dongting was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the result was really as he expected, he was stunned for a long time, then sighed, and said gloomily: "Meng has always been open-mouthed, and there are few people who have offended?"

Hu Yinglong snorted and said, "Brother, you are such a talented person who has passed through the heavens and latitudes, don't be humble with me!

He raised his wine glass and said, "For your courage to strategize and win thousands of miles, Hu will give you a glass!"

Meng Dongting couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard him praise himself like this.

Hu Yinglong grabbed a handful of peanut kernels and threw them into his mouth and said, "I rushed back to the Hou Ye's Mansion overnight, and I heard that you arrived at Ouyang Bei, and hurried to him." Who knew that his housekeeper said that he couldn't find you, so he was afraid that he had gone out of Beijing. I wanted to say that I couldn't let you go, so I scattered my feet and searched around the capital. I'm glad I got you here!" he laughed and drank another glass of wine, looking indescribably happy.

Meng Dongting heard him say sincerely, and he admired himself again, remembering that he had left without a word to explain before, and his heart was full of guilt.

Hu Yinglong said with a smile: "These wine bags and rice bags in the Hou Ye Mansion, in addition to the whiskers and horses, how many of them have real skills? ”

Meng Dongting hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "General Hu is in love. This time they finally raised their glasses, and the two of them did it together.

Hu Yinglong's glass of wine went down, but his face suddenly became sad. I only heard him sigh for a long time, and said: "Alas, this Ouyang Bei must have built a monk's temple in his last life, and he can have you by his side." But I don't know what kind of errand you are doing in Ouyang Bei, but Lan Ling, the commander of the cavalry battalion, or is he joining the army?"

Meng Dongting listened to what he said, they were all official positions with rank, and he was just a small position with the size of a sesame seed that did not enter the stream, and he didn't even have one of the two words "official", so he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Thanks to Captain Ouyang's love, I am now an archer by his side." "The foot archers are just foot soldiers, they can't get into the flow at all, and they only receive the salary of the soldiers.

Hu Yinglong was stunned for a long time, slowly with anger in his eyes, and suddenly slapped it on the table, only to shake the wooden table apart and the dishes fell all over the ground.

Meng Dongting was also taken aback when he saw that he was angry for no reason, and he didn't know what he said wrong, and hurriedly retreated, afraid that he would start a violent move again.

Hu Yinglong said angrily: "His grandmother's! Ouyang Bei wants you to be a step archer? Then why don't you let Zhuge Wuhou sweep the streets? And why don't you ask Zhang Zifang to pick up dung!"

Meng Dongting listened to what he meant was to fight for him, and he couldn't help but be moved in his heart. It's just that this person acted unexpectedly, and I really don't know what he will do next, Meng Dongting opened his mouth wide, but he didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, Hu Yinglong pulled it with one hand, brushed the ground, and pulled out the sheath, and the knife was actually shining with firelight, which was particularly dazzling in the dark night.

Hu Yinglong said: "Let me 'Fire Devouring Crazy Knife' here, I won't see such a heroic thing! Brother Meng, Hu will definitely do his best to ensure your way out in the future." ”

Meng Dongting was distracted for a long time and said, "General Hu doesn't have to be like this, I'm going to leave the capital anyway, don't worry about me like this." ”

Hu Yinglong couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you leaving Jingshi?"

Meng Dongting sighed, his face full of helplessness, and while lifting up the tables and chairs that had been knocked over by Hu Yinglong, he cleaned up the broken dishes on the ground. The shopkeeper saw it and hurriedly grabbed it, and replaced the two of them with new dishes and chopsticks.

Hu Yinglong saw that Meng Dongting seemed to have a knot in his heart and didn't want to say more, so he immediately said: "Brother Meng, you are going to leave anyway, and you are not in a hurry." You come with me, I will let you see some new tricks, and if Brother Meng wants to leave, I will not stop you. As he spoke, he turned around and went out, motioning for Meng Dongting to follow.

Meng Dongting didn't want to move, but he turned his head and thought: "Through previous contact, General Hu is a heroic and resolute figure, different from those snobs in the General's Mansion. ”

When I think about my past experiences, I never really have a good friend. Although he and Ouyang Bei have experienced hardships together, the difference between the two in the future is too big, and they already have a sense of not speculating.

The Hu Yinglong in front of him is heroic and unrestrained, full of heroism, with the respect of a guerrilla general in the imperial court, and still comes to visit his little step archer at night, how can he go to Ouyang Bei by himself without giving a word like last time?

After thinking about it, he stood up and said, "General Hu can afford it, why should he not follow it?"
