"What's the matter? Do you think your mind can hide from me? Hehe, although there are words that are unpredictable, but they are not really that unpredictable, but it is a pity that such an accident happened suddenly, otherwise the next secret confrontation between you and me and my master and apprentice may be quite interesting. ”

The corners of Meng Lao's lips were raised, and he said leisurely, his eyes were uncertain, it seemed to be the convulsions of the bonfire before he died, and his face was even more pale, without a trace of blood, but there was a strong confidence in his words.

"I see...... It seems that it is not Master, that you underestimate me, but that I underestimate you, Master. ”

Hearing this, Ye Wen's eyes shrank again, and then returned to normal, raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "The reason why I apprenticed is because I have confidence in the rules of Chiba City, if I was a small person a few months ago, I would naturally be at the mercy of others, but now even if I am not a top master, I am not a weak person who can fish at will, even if you have any weird thoughts, I am afraid that I will not be able to make any conspiracy in secret." ”

"Although the disciple doesn't know Master's plans, he can probably guess that Master also has scruples and is difficult to use too strong means, otherwise he should have kidnapped me directly from the beginning, instead of luring me into the beginning? ”

"Haha! Well said! Meng Lao is not wrong!"

Listening to Ye Wen's provocative words, Meng Lao's face also bloomed, not only did he not seem to be provoked, but he also seemed to have a little appreciation.

Ye Wen raised his eyebrows, thinking that this cheap master has a really strange temperament, even if it is a false master-apprentice relationship, but what he said just now can be regarded as a big rebellion, no matter how good his temper is, he is so ridiculed by a junior who is nominally a disciple and has an extremely humble background, he should not be able to sit still.

Such a reaction was really unexpected.

After a while, as if he had finished venting his emotions and had fun, a hoarse laugh came to an abrupt end, Meng Lao looked at Ye Wen carefully, and when he saw the other party's slightly guarded look, he suddenly sighed: "What a good one who lost his wife and lost his soldiers! Speaking of which, although it was not from your handwriting, but the old man did lose his wife and his soldiers! Presumably you are also full of questions now, take this opportunity, I will be open and honest directly, and the next thing will be judged by yourself——"

"As I mentioned before, in order to ensure the stability of the battle line, the army will regularly replenish the combat power that can be active in the jungle, and at this point, the monk is equal to the talisman alchemist, all kinds of tasks that need to be performed, and even to a certain extent, the loss of the talisman refiner is more serious than that of the monk, after all, ......"

"Heh, this point involves military secrets, I can't say it here, but all in all, the merchants in the armor forbidden area, in addition to being protected by the army, must also shoulder the responsibility of supplying alchemists to serve, and the Yanyu Pavilion is no exception, the Yanyu Pavilion has two major factions, the two sides often compete in secret, and they are hostile to each other, because no one wants to send out the disciples they have cultivated for many years and send them to death on the front line of the fierce battle, as a result, with the tacit consent of the general, a rule was set, the so-called winner stays, and the loser is sent away!"

"The struggle between these two factions is led by Meng Tianxing and another purple-patterned talisman refiner, a despicable guy named Lu Buwei, but the hateful old man is not effective in teaching, and all his disciples were defeated by Lu Buwei, and in the end only one blood relative was left, that is, Hao'er ......"

Ye Wen, who understood the meaning of the words in an instant, and the cold glow in his eyes, the slightly false smile on his face, as well as the respectful attitude that remained on the surface, were swept away at this moment, the smile quickly disappeared, and he said coldly: "In other words, your original plan was to use me as a substitute to serve your baby grandson?"

"That's right. ”

Meng Laohun didn't care about Ye Wen's fierce gaze, and replied indifferently, he admitted it bluntly, anyway, at this point, it was pointless to hide it any longer, and then continued: "I originally wanted to use all means to train you into a talisman refiner who meets the requirements of conscription in a few months, so-"

"Then as long as I lose to Lu Lao's disciple by then, your precious grandson can escape, and I must participate in the war on the front line as cannon fodder!"

Ye Wen coldly interrupted Meng Lao's words.

"That's right...... I understand your anger, but let me finish the conversation. ”

Meng Lao looked at Ye Wen, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and the light of this moment fell on an old man with a pale face, and he actually had an indescribable courage: "However, people are not as good as heaven, I just fell for Lu Buwei's radical method at this moment, and almost ended up dying, but fortunately, there was the intervention of General Huo halfway, and my old life was saved." ”

"Huh?"

Listening to Meng Lao's tone, there seemed to be no lack of gratitude to General Huo in his words, and there was no trace of resentment, Ye Wen's heart moved slightly, but he was a little surprised, he thought that this sudden incident was probably a secret private fight, and he was broken by General Huo in a bad luck situation, which expanded the seriousness of the matter.

But the truth is that this is not the case, for Meng Lao, who was caught in such an incident, is the fire general not the oppressor, but the identity of the savior?

Just when Ye Wen began to guess a little reason, Meng Lao's hoarse and dry voice sounded again, interrupting Ye Wen's thoughts: "Because of Lu Buwei's actions, I fell into a dead end, and then General Huo's intervention allowed me to escape from death, but after all, I violated the military regulations of the forbidden area of the armor, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable——"

"I was sentenced to five years in prison, but for the sake of my previous merits, the execution could be delayed for three months, and all the disciples under my disciples, whether they were outsiders or insiders, even if they were their own grandchildren, must be punished in a row, and all of them will be sent to the army! ”

Hearing this, the corners of Ye Wen's mouth twitched slightly, and then a wry smile appeared on his face, hearing the news that he was assigned to the army for no reason, it was really not a good taste, if he didn't know that the other party still had the following, he was afraid that he would turn his face with Meng Lao, who was the culprit, at the moment.

"However, the great luck in the misfortune, although it is said to be a distribution to the army, but in fact, it is like a conscription, not like a criminal to become cannon fodder, but to be able to retain a low-level rank, and the treatment is actually similar to that of an ordinary soldier. ”

Meng Lao looked at Ye Wen calmly, and said slowly, but Hao'er's careless appearance couldn't help but appear in his mind, and he suddenly sighed in his heart: "Whether it's you or Hao'er, you, as my disciples, are also implicated in this matter, enlisting in the army is already an established fact, no matter how clever my means are, it is impossible to go against the will of General Huo, and because of this, all my attempts to you have instantly become a water moon mirror flower-"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Ye Wen glanced at Meng Lao in surprise, and then the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking arc: "So, are you saying that the gap between us can be written off with one stroke, and we can finally become a real master and apprentice?"

Smiling faintly, Meng Lao ignored Ye Wen's sarcasm, and said to himself: "Therefore, I have a proposal-"
