Chapter 269: Asking Rivals
Ying Shaoyan and Meng Xue's new home in the capital is simple, very small, but very warm. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The room was small, but the charcoal fire burned so much that it was a simple table, a few equally simple chairs, a cupboard, and a hanger in the dining room. But there is a delicate blue-glazed handle pot on the table, and there are several blue-glazed teacups next to it.
Ying Shaoyan and Guo Shichao sat at the table, Meng Xue came in with a tin kettle with boiling water, and Guo Shichao stood up stiffly. Meng Xue smiled and said in a soft voice: "Sit down, what's polite." ”
Meng Xue poured water into the green glazed pot, and a refreshing fragrance of tea immediately spread in the air. Compared with the simple layout of this home, this teapot and the teacup on the table are very delicate and exquisite, and there are simple and smooth patterns and patterns on it, which should be things from Lord Meng's mansion. Tea is also good tea, Meng Xue poured a cup of tea and served it to Guo Shichao.
Guo Shichao stood up and took it, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”
Meng Xue couldn't help but smile: "Shichao is too polite, thank you for the flower seeds you gave me, you are really good at picking." ”
Guo Shichao was embarrassed: "A little thing, sister-in-law still remembers." ”
Meng Xue couldn't help but smile, no one had ever called her that. Guo Shichao was even more nervous, today's visit was the most uneasy thing he had ever felt in his life, and he met such a legendary beauty. When she gave her flower seeds, she was just enthusiastic about helping Meng Yu prepare gifts for her sister, and she never thought that on this occasion, this atmosphere would be able to see Meng Xue with her own eyes, the beautiful woman that the emperor was worried about, and personally served tea to herself.
Meng Xue poured another cup of tea for Ying Shaoyan, said softly, "You guys have a good chat", and then entered the inner room without a sound and closed the door.
Ying Shaoyan said to Guo Shichao: "I've only been here for a few days, thanks to you for taking care of me." It's just that I didn't expect such a thing to happen, except for you and Sister Jiang, no one else can understand or accept it. ”
Guo Shichao lowered his head: "I know." Now that it's decided, I know what I'm going to endure. It's just that you don't blame my sister, she is exhausted. ”
Ying Shaoyan said: "When I was in Hedong, what Meng Yu was looking forward to the most was to take Sister Jiang to the capital," Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the courtyard door and someone came in.
Guo Shichao immediately stood up, looked nervously at the closed door, and subconsciously rubbed his robe with both hands.
The door was pushed open with a clatter, and Meng Yu walked in. He was covered with broken white snowflakes, like a layer of broken pearls, and the yard was also snow-white. This is the first snow in the capital this winter.
Guo Shichao looked at Meng Yu with some horror, without Jiang Luping present and needing his protection, he became scared instead. The courage and courage in front of Meng Yu that day didn't seem to know where to run.
Ying Shaoyan also stood up: "Meng Yu, the snow is really big." Take off your clothes and drink a cup of hot tea first. As he spoke, he stood up, picked up the duster that swept the bed, dusted off the snow for Meng Yu, took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, and poured him a cup of hot tea.
After doing this, he said, "Let's talk, I'll go with Xiaoxue." ”
Meng Yu pulled a chair and sat down, Ying Shaoyan also pressed Guo Shichao on the chair, and entered the back room himself.
Meng Yu picked up the teacup: "The corpses of the few people of the Sword Alliance you killed have been sent to the government and have been examined." However, "
Meng Yu looked at Guo Shichao: "There is one thing that can't be tested. What kind of knife technique did you use to kill the people of the Sword Alliance?"
Guo Shichao snorted: "Brother Meng, when you ask this, are you doubting me in your heart?"
Meng Yu really didn't want to face Guo Shichao at the moment, all kinds of care for this little brother in the past are a kind of irony today. He felt that the weather was cold for a while, but his heart was even colder. However, he couldn't help but face him like this, there was only so much time, and some things could not be delayed.
"Revenge by killing people is already on a path of no return. You still have old and weak women and children in northern Jiangsu, and now northern Jiangsu is in charge of Shen Hechang's original deputy general Xue Kexing, if something happens to you, think about it yourself. ”
Meng Yu stared at the teacup on the table, the tea in the cup was shaking, his delicate black eyebrows were frowning, and his eyes were becoming more and more condensed. In the past, he always affectionately called him "Shichao" and treated him as a child who could be cared for, but today, although he still cares about him under his cold face, and has to stop his dangerous actions, he really doesn't want to call him by his name anymore.
Guo Shichao looked at Meng Yu nervously: "Brother Meng, my home has been destroyed, if I only give the emperor a deputy commander of the forbidden army, but let my relatives die unjustly, let Shuangfeng Villa be destroyed, what are my parents doing when they gave birth to me and raised me? ”
Meng Yu snapped and put the teacup on the table. Guo Shichao was startled and shrank back.
Meng Xue in the house was also frightened, buried her head in Ying Shaoyan's chest, Ying Shaoyan patted her, and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, don't be afraid." ”
Only then did Guo Shichao see Meng Yu's fire-breathing eyes, and he snorted and said, "Brother Meng, you forgive me." At this point, I don't have a lot of options left. ”
Meng Yu said coldly: "Is it your Wuji Knife taught by Guo Wei?"
Guo Shichao nodded.
Meng Yu said: "In Shuangfeng Villa, many things happened suddenly, we have too few people, and we are afraid that something will happen in Jiangnan, so Jiang Zhan and Hou Lingshan will also leave." The battle was so badly fought that many questions went unanswered. After that, you are the only adult man in Shuangfeng Villa, and you have to do so many post-calamity things alone, and it is impossible for me to ask you anything at that time. ”
Guo Shichao lowered his head: "I have no ability to do anything more than bury my relatives and the dead brothers in the villa. As soon as you left with Xiaoxiao and Yubao, the emperor's decree arrived, and I quickly settled my grandmother, mother and other relatives and came to the capital. ”
Meng Yu looked at the teacup blankly, the curling smoke had quietly dissipated, and the tea was also cold. Maybe brotherhood, like this tea, is getting cold?
"What have you done for the Sword Alliance with Guo Wei?"
Guo Shichao's face turned white: "Since my father's legs and feet began to be bad, my uncle gave birth to the heart of replacing my father." It's just that he can't talk to my dad because I'm going to be an adult soon. He was in a hurry to become the owner of the village at that time, and he had already had the heart of harming his father, but he was afraid that several senior brothers and Zhuang Yong in the village would not be convinced, so he wanted to use the power of the Sword Alliance to divide Shuangfeng Villa. Dad actually found out quickly, but because of his poor health, many of the affairs of Shuangfeng Villa are inseparable from his uncle, and he can't openly turn his face with him, and he is even more afraid that he will harm me, so he temporarily forbears it, but he is also on guard with a few loyal disciples. Later, when Master Qingxin went to the temple, Master Qingxin treated his leg, and his father's leg gradually improved, but it had been hollowed out in the villa, so he could only secretly accumulate strength. And at this time, there was another problem on my uncle's side. (To be continued.) )
