Xu Anmo, the governor of the Qingli Army, who was in trouble this time, was hunted down on the third day. When the news came, Mei Changsu was sitting face to face with King Jing, discussing the follow-up matters after returning to Beijing. After hearing the news, both of them were very happy.
"Xu Anmo should be detained in isolation, do not beat or scold him, and let him return to the capital alive." King Jing immediately ordered.
"Yes!" Lie Zhanying hung one arm and couldn't clasp his fists, so he bowed and said, "The people who are guarding him on shifts are all from our Prince Jing's Mansion, so don't worry, Your Highness."
"Did he say anything?" Mei Changsu asked.
"He was yelling all the way, arguing that he was deceived by King Yu."
"It seems that he doesn't intend to sacrifice himself to save King Yu," Mei Changsu couldn't help laughing, "King Yu and Xia Jiang went to a dead end, it's no wonder others. But on the Queen's side, I have to trouble the concubine to ask for mercy for her. At any rate, the mother of the country should not be executed, she is the younger sister of Marquis Yan."
"Mother concubine has already expressed this meaning, and I think she will try her best." King Jing seemed to be aroused by him, and his eyes flashed with some deep meaning, "When I went in today to ask for safety, the royal father scolded Xia Jiang at me again. After a while, he even showed me Xia Jiang's confession."
"This is very good. Showing it to His Highness means that His Majesty does not believe it."
"That's right. I don't believe a word of Xia Jiang's confession, but I understand in my heart that most of what he said should be the truth, not casually biting." King Jing stared deeply into the advisor's eyes, "but I can't figure it out. The thing is, since he is trying his best to tell the truth, why does he have to say that you are an old friend of King Qi? This kind of statement will make people think that he is jumping over the wall. Xia Jiang should not be such a stupid person, right? "
"He's not stupid." Mei Changsu chuckled, "I told him."
"Oh?"
"King Qi is a thorn in Xia Jiang's heart. His fear of you, His Royal Highness, is caused by King Qi. I claim that the old man of King Qi will easily make him emotionally unstable, which will help promote my future plans."
"So it's like this..." King Jing leaned back. His face was pale, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not, but he did not continue to ask.
Mei Changsu neatly sorted out the documents spread out on the table, and was just about to find another topic to talk about, when suddenly there was a commotion outside the house.
"Go and see what's wrong." King Jing frowned. Xiang Lie Zhanying raised his chin, the latter ran out immediately, and soon came in with Qi Meng.
"His Royal Highness! We caught it!" Qi Meng was full of excitement, knelt down in the middle, and said loudly.
"I know you caught it, Zhan Ying has already reported back and forth just now."
Lie Zhanying hurriedly said, "No, it's not, what Qi Meng said was not Xu Anmo."
"Not what is Xu Anmo? It's worth your excitement..."
"Monster, Your Highness, it's such a coincidence that it also ran near Jiu'an Mountain. We went to search for the rebels, and we surrounded it with a crooked attack. Hehehe. Hehehe." Qi Meng said, and it was a while Silly music.
King Jing didn't have his obsession with any monster. After thinking for a while, he finally realized, "Oh. It's the Jingzhao Yamen who came to ask for help. You caught that monster that you haven't caught for more than a year."
"Caught Your Highness. We caught it. It's outside. The iron cage is closed. Do you want to take a look at it?"
Prince Jing waved his hand indifferently, Mei Changsu took the opportunity to stand up, and said, "I would like to see, Your Highness will allow me to retire?"
"Sir, please do it. Mei Changsu bowed slightly, and withdrew with Qi Meng. King Jing picked up the document on the top of the table, and before he opened it, he didn't see half a page, and suddenly there was a terrible sound outside. cry.
"Mr. Su!"
"Dangerous... hurry, hurry..."
"Mr. Su, no..."
Xiao Jingyan stood up and rushed out with Lie Zhanying. At first glance, his heart almost skipped a beat. In a corner of the spacious courtyard, there was a half-human-height iron cage in which to sit curled up. A furry dark brown thing was struggling violently. Mei Changsu's body was blocked from sight by several guards from Prince Jing's mansion surrounded by panic, but the pair of pale arms had obviously been pulled into the cage, and both palms were trapped in the monster's brown fur.
"What happened?" King Jing's face turned blue instantly, and he rushed forward and shouted, "Don't be stunned, save people!"
But when he rushed to see more clearly, he was as stunned as his own subordinates. It turned out that the monster was not forcibly pulling Mei Changsu's arm. On the contrary, it was hiding, but the cage was too small. No matter how much it was hiding, Mei Changsu would hold onto its wrist.
"Don't be afraid... Don't be afraid... It's okay, it will be fine, it will be fine..." Completely ignoring the chaos around him, Mei Changsu concentrated on comforting the monster in the cage, "I won't hurt you, I will help You, don't move, let me touch..."
The monster was silent for a moment and let Mei Changsu grope his left wrist in a daze, but it didn't take long for it to start agitating again, spewing hot air non-stop.
"It's red, it's red, its eyes are red," Qi Meng shouted, "Mr. Su is going to move away, as soon as its eyes are red, it will suck blood, and it almost sucked someone's blood on the way!" King Jing was shocked. , grabbed Mei Changsu's arm and pulled it out.
"Let go!" Mei Changsu rushed over as soon as he was torn apart, "Didn't you see him enduring it? He wants to suck blood, yes, especially human blood, which will relieve his pain, but He has been enduring, he is trying to control himself not to hurt others, don't you see?"
As if to match his words, the monster suddenly roared and struggled in the cage in pain. Mei Changsu supported the railing of the iron cage and stared deeply at it, and suddenly called out, "Qi Meng!"
"Huh? At... "
"Give me your knife."
"what?"
"Bring me the knife!" Mei Changsu shouted fiercely, Qi Meng jumped in shock as if in reflex, and dazedly pulled out his waist knife and handed it over. However, Mei Changsu did not reach out to catch the hilt of the knife, but pulled his wrist on the edge of the knife, pulling out a two-minute-long opening. The blood beads suddenly came up, and Qi Meng was so frightened that he dropped his waist knife to the ground.
"It's okay, come. Take two puffs first." Mei Changsu stretched his bloody wrist between the iron bars and handed it to the monster's mouth. He said softly, "I have medicine in my blood, you will feel better, come, don't be afraid. If you can't suck me, I will be fine... If you don't suck, the blood will flow in vain... "
The monster gasped and resisted for a while, but in the end it couldn't resist the bright red blood bead. It grabbed Mei Changsu's wrist in one bite, and there was a burst of exclamations all around, and Prince Jing couldn't help but take two steps forward.
However, everything was just as Mei Changsu had said, this monster didn't want to hurt anyone, it only took less than ten mouthfuls. After a little relief from his pain, he took the initiative to let go of the wrist in his mouth, and he refused to take another breath no matter how much he tried to persuade him.
"Bring the key." Mei Changsu simply tied the wound on his wrist with a towel. He got up and stretched out his hand towards Qi Meng, "The key to the iron cage."
Qi Meng, who was stunned by the scene just now, handed over the keys like a puppet. Mei Changsu quickly opened the iron cage. The monsters inside were helped out.
"His Royal Highness, I will take care of this person. Can he share a room with me?"
"this person?"
"Yes, maybe it doesn't look like it, but it's a person." Mei Changsu's usually indifferent and cold eyes were very hot at this time, "If it's inconvenient here, I'll take him to camp outside, just ask His Highness to send someone. help me."
Xiao Jingyan stared at him blankly, a little dizzy, as if he had not recovered from the shock just now. Mei Changsu didn't urge him either. He supported the "person" beside him and waited quietly.
After a long time, King Jing finally regained his senses, looked at the Westinghouse door, and at Mei Changsu's firm expression, he coughed: "Since you are so sure, it's okay to live here, just please be careful. some."
"Thank you, Your Highness." With a dim smile on Mei Changsu's face, he bowed and dragged the "people" in his hands into his Westinghouse. King Jing frowned and motioned for Lie Zhanying to follow.
After a while, Lie Zhanying came out and ordered to prepare hot water and a tub, and then entered the main house and said to King Jing, "Mr. Su didn't tell that... that person said anything, just kept comforting him and found some medicine for him. Eat. The man is quiet now, and Mr. Su wants to bathe him again."
Prince Jing frowned, rubbed the wrist of his right hand with his left hand, and said to himself, "But just because he is a human being, he would normally not be able to suck his own blood for him, right?"
Lie Zhanying blinked, not knowing what to say, so he could only stand silently. After a long while, Qi Meng also came in, clasped his fists, and said without thinking: "His Royal Highness, it turned out to be a white man."
"What white ground?"
"That monster... uh, that person, only after washing it out did he realize that the fur on his body was white, but it was just so dirty that he always thought it was brown."
"Qi Meng!" Lie Zhanying scolded, "Why do you tell His Highness these irrelevant things?"
"Your Highness doesn't want to know..." "That's not what Your Highness wants to know. Come on down." Seeing that King Jing was dull, Lie Zhanying hurriedly drove Qi Meng out.
Outside the hospital, two soldiers carried out the dirty water, and another brought a clean towel. Qi Meng, who had been catching a monster for a year, suddenly became a "human".
The white-haired man was now lying on Mei Changsu's bed, curled up in a ball, the long hair on his face covering his facial features. Mei Changsu didn't resist when he checked any part of his body, but as soon as he touched his left wrist, he would instinctively throb and hide his wrist in his arms.
Qi Meng stood behind and watched for a long time, but Mei Changsu didn't distract him, which made him feel very boring, and went out embarrassingly. But as soon as he left, Mei Changsu immediately closed the doors and windows, went back to the bed, and tried to pull the white-haired man's wrist out, but this time he was still rejected.
"You don't need to hide, I know what it is," Mei Changsu said quietly, "It is the bracelet of the Chi Yan Army, engraved with everyone's own name, once killed, even if the body is damaged, it can pass through The bracelet identifies bones, right?"
The white-haired man trembled violently, his throat made a "huhu" sound due to excitement, and his teeth rattled. "I just want to see your name and see if there's anything else I can do to help you," Mei Changsu gently patted his back and whispered in his ear, "Come on, let me take a look, What if you look at it? Could it be worse?"
The white-haired man seemed to be moved by him, and his stiff body slowly softened. Mei Changsu gently and carefully pulled up his wrist, and slowly brushed away the long hair. Due to the swelling and thickening of the arm, the finger-wide silver ring has been deeply embedded in the flesh, and the ring surface is also somewhat black and fuzzy, but the unique double cloud flame pattern of the Red Flame Army, and the flame pattern surrounded by the flame pattern That name can still be identified.
Mei Changsu looked at the name with a face like snow, his vision gradually blurred, he blinked and tears rolled down, but his eyes only became clear for a moment, and then blurred again.
The white-haired man sat up panting heavily, his eyes peeping from behind the long hair at the man who was crying without any scruples in front of him, opened his mouth, but only made a harsh "ho ho" sound.
After an unknown amount of time, Mei Changsu finally raised his hand, used his sleeve to mark the tears on his face, took a deep breath, and let out a smile.
"Brother Nie Feng, you're still alive... It's really great..." After saying this, Lin Shu finally couldn't hold back his excitement, and opened his arms to hug his former comrade in arms tightly.
