"What did you say?" Meng Zhi was taken aback and almost jumped up, "His Royal Highness King Qi has a child?!"
"Even you don't know?" Mei Changsu was a little surprised, "Jingyan is really hiding it. But it's no wonder, if there is a hint of wind in the ears of the crown prince or Prince Yu, Tingsheng will be dead..."
"Is this news true?" Meng Zhi showed an expression of disbelief, "All the males of the Prince Qi's mansion died, all the female relatives were confiscated into the Tucked Courtyard, and those who had a little name were forced to die in less than a year, how could it be possible? Will there be an orphan who survives the catastrophe?"
Mei Changsu's eyes were deep and he pondered for a moment: "I can't speculate on the joints. However, Wang Fei's sister-in-law is smart and decisive, and Xiutong's sister is brave and unparalleled. The situation was chaotic, and they desperately saved Brother Jing Yu's blood to hide in Yeyou Ting, which is not impossible. Judging from Jingyan's concern for Tingsheng, he should have confirmed the identity of the child, no would be wrong."
"What about his appearance? Does he look like King Qi?"
"This child has been tortured since childhood, his face is yellow and his muscles are thin, and he can't see it clearly. But sometimes there are still some shadows of Jing Yu's brother in the back of his eyes."
"Since King Jing knows that it is the orphan of King Qi, why don't you take care of him and let the child suffer like this!" Meng Zhi couldn't help complaining.
"He can't do anything either. Taking too much care of a little palace slave for no reason will inevitably lead to suspicion. If Tingsheng's identity is accidentally revealed, how can the Crown Prince and Prince Yu let it go?"
"But you can't just let this child stay in a place like Yeyouting?" Meng Zhi stood up excitedly, strode around the room, and Fei Liu sat up from the bed, staring at him with icy cold eyes. follow him.
"Fei Liu sleep." Mei Changsu turned his head and coaxed, and then said to Meng Zhi, "Brother Meng, sit down and talk about it. You are in a hurry, aren't Jingyan and I in a hurry? Tingsheng must be saved. Yes, but there must be a foolproof method to rescue them unscathed."
"Have you found a way?" Meng Zhi asked anxiously.
"I thought about it roughly, but I have to scrutinize the details. This matter can't be rushed, and haste is not enough." Mei Changsu glanced at Meng Zhi and raised his eyebrows, "Brother Meng is now You are the leading expert in Daliang, and he is also responsible for guarding. I have often heard people in Langzhou praise you for your steadfastness and strength, and your heart is as strong as iron, why are you so impatient today?"
Meng Zhi scratched his head with a long sigh, and said, "I don't know why, it's not difficult for me to collapse in front of me on another occasion, but now I'm talking to you, as if I went back to being so reckless when I was young... Do you still remember the Battle of Gourd Valley? If it wasn't for the three handwritten golden decrees by His Royal Highness King Qi to restrain my horse, I would have fallen into the enemy's trap long ago. If I fall, Lord Ling Zun will definitely take my head off and kick me hard."
"Father did not believe you at the time, but he also said later that in terms of knowing people, he is not as good as King Qi. It is not that King Qi can single out one of thousands of soldiers through a martial arts performance. If you are the winner, he will not be able to do this kind of vision..."
"But when it comes to the sternness and subtlety of military use, who can compare to Ling Zun? Wherever the Chi Yan Army went, what kind of iron army did not tremble?" Talking about the old things, Meng Zhi only felt the arrogance of many years of silence. Going up, he only hated that there was no wine in front of him, so he took a big mouthful of the tea bowl and said with emotion, "It's a shame that I was forcibly transferred out of the Chiyan Army not long ago. I'm afraid that the current profit is more than that."
Mei Changsu sighed: "If you lose, you must gain, if you hadn't been transferred from the Chiyan Army, let alone the catastrophe 12 years ago, you couldn't escape the catastrophe that happened 12 years ago. , the position of the commander of the Imperial Army is unlikely to be yours."
When he mentioned this, Meng Zhi immediately thought of something else, and couldn't help clenching his teeth, and said bitterly: "That's not true. Now there is a Chiyan old clan in the court who is extremely favored, and his whole body is covered with 'the pillar of the court'. ' the halo?"
Mei Changsu's hand on the table trembled, and then he stabilized again, pressing his fingertips on the red lacquer table, as if to press out a few marks.
"It's really uncomfortable to maintain a superficial friendship with him over the years." Meng Zhi exhaled a long breath, as if he was about to spit out the depression in his heart, "And you, why do you want to live here? ?"
"For safety." Mei Changsu said lightly.
"What? Is it safe here?"
"At least it can save a lot of trouble." Mei Changsu's voice was icy, chilling to the bone, "Using those three young people to come to Beijing, you can quickly get in touch with the important people in the center of the imperial court. This is better than accepting a prince or a reputation. It is much better to come to Jinling with the call of the king to be a staff officer."
Meng Zhi thought for a while and nodded in agreement, but looking at Mei Changsu's tense face, he instinctively avoided going deeper into this topic, and instead asked another matter: "What do you think of Princess Nihuang? What do you think of this recruitment?"
"Yunnan Mu Mansion is the southern barrier of the country, and the county owner has worked hard for the country for many years to delay her youth. I just hope that she can find someone who can truly love her this time. The rest is not important."
"Did you know that both the Crown Prince and Prince Yu have sent competent subordinates to participate in the competition. If one of them succeeds, your affairs will be much more difficult."
"The county master is far more intelligent than me, but I don't need to worry about her. It's just that Da Yu and Beiyan came to ask for marriage knowing that it would be difficult to succeed. "
"Um!"
"It's getting late, so you should go back. Once the plan to save Tingsheng is mature, you will be asked to help. On Wei Zheng's side, please keep an eye on them out of the city and never come back."
Meng Zhi promised to stand up, just took a step out, but stopped reluctantly, turned back and stared at Mei Changsu, with no pity in his eyes, but he knew in his heart that what he could do was really limited. Unable to hold back the sadness, he stretched out his arm without thinking, and hugged him heavily.
The bed tent moved slightly, and the flying stream shot out like lightning. It stood up as a blade and cut straight to Mengzhi's throat. After he stepped back to avoid it, he immediately turned around and turned over, and attacked again with a few fierce moves.
"Fei Liu!" Mei Changsu hurriedly pulled from the middle, "Uncle is saying goodbye to me, not bullying me, Fei Liu is not angry..."
"Flying is not allowed!" There was anger on the young Binghan's face.
"Okay, it won't be like this in the future." Mei Changsu smiled apologetically at Meng Zhi, "I'm sorry Brother Meng, my Feiliu has always been like this."
"It doesn't matter, I'm very happy that this child protects you like this." Meng Zhi Chaofei showed a kind smile, "You have to protect him well."
Fei Liu ignored him and remained firmly beside his brother Su, not moving a single step.
"Then I'll go first," Meng Zhi gave Mei Changsu another deep look and whispered, "Xiaoshu, you have to take care of your health and don't let anything happen, you know?"
Mei Changsu's eyes were hot, he hurriedly endured it, and nodded silently.
Fei Liu stared at Meng Zhi. Although he still had no expression, he could clearly see from his eyes that he was very impatient. After Meng Zhi leaped over the window sill and disappeared, he immediately went to close the window tightly.
"What? We Feiliu don't like Uncle?" Mei Changsu teased him softly.
"do not like!"
"why?"
"I can't beat Fei Liu!"
"It's okay," Mei Changsu rubbed his hair. "We Feiliu are still young. When you grow up to your uncle's age, you will definitely be able to beat him."
Fei Liu's face did not change, but his eyes immediately showed joy. Mei Changsu took him by the hand, personally sent him to lie down on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and hummed soft songs until he quietly closed his eyes, then quietly left and went to bed on his own.
