It was just okay that Meng Guiyu didn't mention this matter. Once he mentioned it, hatred surged in Gao Chengxuan's heart again. While rolling up his sleeves to look at Meng Guiyu's injuries, he gritted his teeth and said, "I remember the whole clan of Sheng Sleeping Crane. !!!Uncle, please think of a way for me quickly. It’s best to bring their brother and sister here tonight. I want Sheng Suihe to see with his own eyes how the little bitch he was protecting was played by me. Then he was thrown to the guards, servants, beggars... He couldn't even die in peace!!!"
"It seems that the wounds on your arms are all scratched by you yourself?" Meng Guiyu seemed not to have heard these words, looking at his bare arms intently, frowning, "You just... seriously Aren’t you just pretending?”
"How is that possible?!" Gao Chengxuan turned around and looked in disbelief, saying, "Don't look at him just now and patted the back of my hand. At that time, I felt a strong force going up along the meridians, following the lines. It's like a snake covered with thorns. It's painful and itchy wherever it goes! I can't help it even if I want to... "
I stopped talking mid-sentence because I saw that my bloody arm did not have any other scars except the blood marks that I scratched!
"Is that Nanmanzi actually a hidden master?" Both uncle and nephew were puzzled by this question, but it was the guard Gao Rong who, after all, had a specialization in martial arts, and he relied exclusively on martial arts to make a living, so he interrupted at this moment He said, "Young Master was probably punched with internal force into his body, so you can't see any external injuries! But as the saying goes, 'train the muscles, bones and skin externally, and practice one breath internally', external skills are only for martial arts, while internal skills are the body of martial arts. It's just that Internal strength training is about softness and strength, and pays attention to the flow of qi into the membrane to fill the whole body. Without talent, just relying on beating the body, you may not be able to practice until death. [Note] The Nanmanzi looks at his age and the young master, as if he is the south wind again. How much time can Jieyuan of the county devote to practicing martial arts, and he can actually have such attainments?!"
"I knew it was that bitch!!!" Gao Chengxuan had originally identified Sheng Sleeping Crane as the culprit, but when he was confirmed by the guards, he immediately jumped up and turned to Meng Guiyu, demanding urgently, "Uncle Six! You must help me say this! Otherwise, I will not be able to calm down. Spring will start in two days, and I will not be able to calm down after entering the venue. If I lose my hand and disappoint my grandfather, it will be difficult for both of us to explain. ah!"
Meng Guiyu's eyes darkened when he heard this: Gao Chengxuan's request to capture Sheng Suihe's brother and sister just now was just an entanglement, but now these words are nothing more than a naked threat!
Originally, Meng Guiyu was ignored by the other three members of the Meng family when he was young. Not only was he full of resentment, but he also had a grudge.
This was also the reason why he had not been much touched by Meng Boheng's death before. Meng Boheng was not only his direct cousin, but also because they lived in Chang'an. A nephew coming to Chang'an? !
The dual love stemming from blood ties and love for talents was not very deep at first, but now it was gone even further with such a habitual threat from Gao Chengxuan.
It was not because he was worried about Marquis Wu An that Meng Guiyu wanted to just walk away and follow Gao Chengxuan to seek death!
He suppressed his anger, then made a pleasant appearance, and said slowly: "Xuan'er, don't be ridiculous! I just said that you can never admit that you have been to the Night Pavilion tonight. For what reason, you immediately Have you forgotten?! If the person who made a fool of himself here tonight is just a liar, and after being exposed, especially by me personally, how can he not be picked up and punished? Where do you have the ability to make the Sheng family brothers and sisters disappear?!"
"If we do this and make you insist that you have never been here tonight, wouldn't it be in vain?!"
"Furthermore, as you have seen, the people who came to sit in this wing just now are not only the Sheng Suihe brothers and sisters, but also the Zhao brothers and sisters and Huang Ziyue!"
"Those three are all close to King Gaomi... Especially Huang Ziyue has been hostile to you for a long time, and they know each other well! You said that he would not guess your eagerness for revenge, or remind brother and sister Sheng Suihe, and Or simply borrow someone from the King of Gaomi, set a trap near the Sheng Sleeping Crane brothers and sisters, and wait for us to fall into the trap?!"
"Xuan'er, you are very talented and knowledgeable. You are destined to show your talents after becoming an official. The second uncle has always had high hopes for you... How could you disappoint the second uncle because of such a small setback?!"
He looked at Gao Rong and others, waved his hand and ordered them all to go out. He lowered his voice and whispered, "Also, you better not miss this Chunwei! You know, it took a lot of effort for my second uncle to do it for you this time." Get the chance to work hard to cultivate you in the next few years... If you relax and give your uncle a reason, maybe this person who has been cultivated by Meng will become the heir of the eldest sister and the second sister! After all, You also know that my aunt always prefers big houses!"
Gao Chengxuan couldn't help but said in awe: "Seriously?!"
Seeing Meng Guiyu nodding solemnly, he no longer dared to threaten Chun Wei, and said angrily: "Then I will have to suffer the consequences of being mute tonight?!"
"Anyway, Sheng Sleeping Crane is also here for the Spring Festival. Are you worried that others will run away?" Meng Guiyu said perfunctorily, "There will be plenty of time to deal with him in the future... Moreover, my aunt likes his two sisters very much. Don't say anything against him again in the future." What they say, lest my aunt find out and be unhappy!"
... That Sheng Suihe personally killed his sister because his sister was involved in the fight over the back house of Zheng Guogong's mansion; you actually want to play with his two sisters in front of him, and you also want to find dirty and despicable people to play with them to death... When these words reach Sheng Suihe's ears, I'm afraid that if you don't say anything, even the female members of the Gao family will be angered and suffer disaster!
Although Meng Guiyu didn't like his nephew, after thinking about Sheng Suihe's ruthless methods, he still gave him a tactful comment.
"The Empress Dowager has lived alone in the palace for many years, so she is inevitably lonely. Seeing how well they flatter them, it's just a few words of teasing!" However, Gao Chengxuan disagreed and said, "They are just the daughters of two foreign ministers, and their father and grandfather have no official positions. Well, the so-called 'like' is mostly what they say to put money in their faces. My mother is the Queen Mother's direct niece, and I am the Queen Mother's direct niece! Even if I haven't met the Queen Mother yet, , but as the saying goes, blood is thicker than water, how can my status in the heart of the Queen Mother be compared to those two little bitches who are not related to the Queen Mother?!"
He is really very confident, because his elders have never disliked him, and Queen Mother Meng will be no exception!
But he didn't know that Meng Guiyu secretly sneered when he heard this, saying that his relationship with the fifth sister was very weak anyway. When the fourth brother was in decline, Meng Bichen, as the superior daughter-in-law of the second brother, did not particularly bully the fourth brother, but he did not care. Living the life and death of several cousins in the fourth room.
I have tried my best to persuade him today, but this nephew just refuses to listen. No matter where he ends up because of this in the future, I can’t blame him!
Although I feel that it is rare for Meng's blood relatives to have a seed of reading, and it has been cultivated to this day, and it is about to become an official to help, but it is a pity that he is seeking his own death, but...
If this nephew doesn't change his temper, he will most likely not end well in the future.
As the saying goes, life and death are determined by fate and wealth. He is so eager to seek death. He should not waste his words. He should think about how to distance himself when Sheng Suihe wants to kill him in the future!
... When their uncle and nephew's conversation came to an end, Sheng Sleeping Crane and his party were being led by the old shopkeeper to a three-story building in the backyard. The top floor of this small building is connected to the third floor of the Night Pavilion facing the street by a double road. From the side, it looks like the character "冂", but it is a back door that can lead to the third floor of the Night Pavilion without going through the store below.
When you enter the back door, you will see a hall that connects most of the third floor of Night Pavilion into one hall. Under the high and open roof, countless palace lanterns are hung at random heights.
Looking around, you can see a dazzling array of lotus lanterns, hibiscus lanterns, revolving lanterns, hydrangea lanterns, rabbit lanterns, ape lanterns, and monkey lanterns. However, because of the careful selection of combinations, they feel magnificent but not cluttered.
And among these lights, a banquet was being set up.
The number of people at the banquet is not very large, not counting the servants. There are only about ten people sitting at the table at this moment. They are all dressed in rich clothes, and it is obvious at a glance that they have extraordinary origins.
Among them, there were three or five revolving lanterns at the top where the main seat was located. When the revolving lanterns rotated rapidly, they cast strange lights and shadows, making the faces of the three people in that direction a little blurry when viewed from the position where they just came in. Identify their identity.
Huang Wujiu, who took the lead in saluting, did not address the people in detail, but only gave general greetings to everyone present.
Sheng Weiqiao took this opportunity to quickly look around, and saw that the hall was very spacious, but because most of the place was opened, the layout was simple: there was a banquet in the middle, which was an ordinary banquet arrangement for wealthy people;
To the west, there is a 20% red sandalwood seat screen with carved landscapes and fisherman pictures. You can see from the gap in the screen carvings that behind the screen is the staircase leading up from the Night Pavilion. There are several lanterns hanging high and low at the entrance of the stairs, and it seems that a servant is waiting for him with his hands down. It seems that this is the last level of the three levels of the Night Pavilion. It's just that at this moment, there is silence both at the entrance and on the stairs. Apparently no one has been able to break through the barrier on the second floor;
Next to this screen hangs a row of heavy tents from the past. Between the rolls of gauze, the lower half of two carved lattice doors are vaguely exposed, which seems to lead to the part of the house that is not opened through the three floors. It's just that at this moment, not only is the carved lattice door tightly closed, but the tents hanging outside are also layered on top of each other. Only through the gaps can you see the occasional person who looks like a servant passing behind the tent... I don't know what the purpose is. What are you here for
Under the east wall, there are several book desks with tree-shaped lamps on brass round seats. There are more than ten lamp panels in the left and right circles. From bottom to top, there are lifelike carvings of apes, birds, etc. The wild beasts and birds illuminated the desk as brightly as day. At this moment, because no one is using it, the brand-new pens, inks, paper and inkstones are neatly placed, and three or five smart-looking book boys in green stand beside them, ready to serve the pens and inks at any time.
"Brother Ziyue, what happened just now? I heard that Gao Shaoyang made a big mistake?" At this time, someone shouted from the top. His voice seemed to be very young. The group of people straightened up. Among them was someone who was obviously related to Meng. Shi Bui asked loudly and gloated to the people he was trying to deal with, "It is said that it was intended to blackmail you by rolling around on the floor to molest our ladies?"
"Such nonsense is simply ridiculous!" Someone who was supposed to be close to the Meng family scolded him, "Mr. Gao is a young man from a famous family and is very talented. How could he do such a thing?! This must be ignorant people wantonly slandering talented people. Scholars, you have ulterior motives! You and I are considered scholars after all, so how can we follow others and believe such ridiculous rumors?!"
The two people were facing each other tit for tat, but a surprised voice came from the three people above who couldn't see their faces clearly: "Fifth cousin, why are you here too? And you brought your third cousin with you! Could it be that this happened? Has it affected you?"
"Marquis Huaiyuan, who are these two?" Hearing this, the voice that was called above asked curiously.
When Sheng Weiqiao heard the words "Huaiyuan Hou", his heart skipped a beat: Huaiyuan Hou? Yuan Liuguang? This is not the husband-in-law of Princess Qingfang, but also... the brother-in-law of Sheng Suihe? !
