Since he was at the top of the Langya Young Master List, of course Mei Changsu was not only a gang leader, but also had other virtues of elegance. He knew all the scenic spots, historical sites, and allusions that he passed along the way, and it was interesting to talk about it, and the beauty of the scenery of the four fields was added a bit. Talking about the depths, several people couldn't help but be surprised to find that when it comes to government affairs and economy, he is not inferior to Xie Bi, and when it comes to poetry and rules, he is no less than Xiao Jingrui, and even studying rhythm and instrumental music, he can also make the capital famous. Yanjin Yu, the master of music, is willing to give in to his inferiority. As for other astronomy and geography, it is even harder to see the bottom line. Within a few days, Yan Jinyu began to sigh with emotion: "I always thought that Jing Rui was perfect, but now that I met Brother Su, I realized that Jing Rui can only be ranked second on the Langya list. Couldn't be more correct."
Although he was frank, Mei Changsu always gave people the impression that he was gentle and smooth, and he was obviously talented and sharp, but he never made people think he was aggressive, so Xiao Jingrui didn't have any grudges, but smiled: " You only learned today how discerning the pavilion master Langya is, when did you miss the position?"
"Why not? He didn't put me on the list for so many years. Isn't it a big mistake and a big mistake?"
Xie Bi chuckled and said, "I think he made a big mistake in putting you on the list this year. It is estimated that now he regrets that he doesn't even have the strength to count the money!"
"Don't mention the silver, I get annoyed when I think of the silver that I gave to Langya Pavilion in vain!"
"Why did you also go to Langxie Pavilion to buy the answer?"
"Yeah. Weren't we discussing my marriage with Miss Changsun? I didn't want to, so I went to Langya Pavilion and asked them what my future wife would be like..."
"My God," Hearing this, even Xiao Jingrui patted his forehead, "What kind of rotten question do you have, do you think Langya Pavilion is a fortune teller?"
"If I were the pavilion master of Langya, I would set a price of 90 million silver and scare you to the point of not wanting to come back to Northern Qi!" Xie Bi also said.
"He's not black, he only charged me a thousand taels," Yan Yujin raised his eyebrows, "but the answer is too irritating!"
"What is it?"
"Very concise, eight words, 'childhood sweethearts, no guessing'..."
Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi laughed together, almost fell off the horse, Mei Changsu didn't quite understand, and after asking a question, Xiao Jingrui held back a smile and explained to him: "Yujin likes to hang out with little girls since he was a child, so the capital Most of the young ladies in the school have spent time with him and played bamboo horses with him, and you know his identity. In the future, he will not be able to escape from these ladies, so the answer of Langya Pavilion is really the same as usual. Just as correct!"
"Just try your best to gloat over the misfortune," Yan Yujin snorted, "Wait and see, I'm going to use this energy, I have to find someone who is not a childhood sweetheart, and then go to Langya Pavilion to demolish their signboard!"
"Well, don't you dream, is it easy to find a young lady who has never been your childhood sweetheart when you were in an aristocratic family?"
"Why do I have to look for a noble family, do poor people have no good daughters?"
"If you want to marry a commoner, even if you want to, will your parents agree? Will the Empress agree?"
"If they don't agree, I will threaten them..."
"Threat them to what?"
"Threatened them to say... If I don't let me marry the girl I want to marry, I will marry Jing Rui and show them!"
"Hey," Xiao Jingrui couldn't help laughing, "you two grind your teeth, don't get involved with me!"
"This threat is good!" Xie Bi laughed until tears almost came out, "It's just that Langya Pavilion has been cheapened for nothing, because there is no guessing between you and your childhood sweethearts, Jing Rui recognized the second, who would dare to recognize the first?"
"Yeah," Yan Yujin deliberately said in a very regretful tone, "In order not to let Langya Pavilion's answer come true, Jing Rui, I have no choice but to wrong you. Let's continue our relationship in the next life..."
Mei Changsu had been watching them fight with a smile, but seeing Xiao Jingrui being speechless with anger, he waved his hand and motioned for him to follow him to the front.
"Ah, shy, shy! We Young Master Xiao still can't make jokes like before!" Yan Yujin's hearty laughter came from behind.
"Yu Jin is really cute, I must be very happy to have such a friend." Mei Changsu said with a smile.
"Bah, it's actually a shameless thing." Xiao Jingrui spat, "He's crazy, no one wants to pay attention to him."
Mei Changsu glanced at him, slightly withdrew the smile on his face, and said in a low voice, "But you're actually very envious, don't you?"
Xiao Jingrui was shocked and turned to look at him suddenly, "What did you say?"
"I envy his casualness, envy him for not worrying about his troubles, and his heart is wide... Isn't that so?"
Xiao Jingrui froze for a while, and only struggled to say a few words "I... I...", and then he couldn't go on.
"Insisting on loving Miss Yun should be the most self-willed thing you have done so far, right?" Mei Changsu stared into his eyes, "Several years are like a day, even knowing that you have no luck, you still don't give up your love for someone who is not. For a girl who has a deep friendship, in addition to sticking to your first temptation, the more important thing is because she represents your only reckless behavior? Losing her is like losing the self who once tried to break free. That’s why it’s so painful, so sad and helpless…”
"..." Xiao Jingrui opened his mouth, and felt that he didn't know what to say, and the circles of his eyes were a little red.
"After Qinling met for the first time, I went to get to know you. If you don't insist on asking for a kiss from Miss Yun, you are like a standard sample, a sample that makes parents the most proud and reassuring in the world. What do they expect you to grow into? If you look like this, try to grow up. You are filial and obedient. If you are asked to practice writing, you should practice writing, and if you are asked to practice martial arts, you should practice martial arts. You have never disappointed your parents once, and never once made them think, this child... Probably not our child…”
Xiao Jingrui took a deep breath and turned his head to the side with difficulty.
"Actually, you can relax occasionally. Do you think Yujin really has no worries at all? He is just more relaxed than you. You have a delicate mind and a natural sense of responsibility. This is a good thing. What you need to learn is how to take responsibility. Responsibility becomes a kind of happiness, instead of turning all your pleasures into responsibilities of last resort." Mei Changsu looked at him sideways, her eyes soft, "Growing up is... very hard for you, yes no?"
Xiao Jingrui bit his lip and lowered his eyes. It took a long time before he let out a long sigh and said slowly, "Yes, it's very hard work... Double doting is actually double suspicion. I seem to be both a child of the Zhuo family. , is the child of the Xie family, but on the other hand, it seems that it is neither the child of the Zhuo family nor the child of the Xie family. I felt that my parents seemed to have too many demands on me, and I could not I don't force myself to be what they want, I don't want to make any mistakes, I don't want to go against any of them , a child who will be unconditionally forgiven by his parents for everything he does..."
"But once you did, did they forgive?" Mei Changsu asked with a smile.
Xiao Jingrui raised his head in a daze.
"Miss Yun is six years older than you, so they may not have any objections. But if you say you like it, they will ask for a kiss for you. In fact, you are the same as other children. They seem to be restraining all your requests, but in fact it is because of love. you."
Xiao Jingrui's heart trembled slightly, and he was savoring these few words, when Mei Changsu suddenly raised a smile and said, "Stop talking about this, it makes people angry for no reason, let's race horses?"
"What?" Xiao Jingrui was taken aback.
"Horse racing. The Fenjiang River is not far ahead. We will race to the edge of the Fenjiang River first!"
Xiao Jingrui was shocked, and quickly stretched out his hand to hold Mei Changsu's reins firmly, "Don't look at your physical condition, I heard you cough for a long time next door last night, if you really run wild with you Go down, it's only strange that the Jiang Zuomen don't come to chase and kill me. No, don't run!"
"Don't run? Do you still want to control me?"
"Of course..." At the same time as these words rushed out, Xiao Jingrui looked at Mei Changsu's smiling eyes, and suddenly felt a sense of realization.
Yes, it's all just a knot in the heart. Because I have double the parents, I felt that I was suffocated by being detained since I was a child.
Just like at this moment, he didn't have any reason to detain Mei Changsu, and the reason why he didn't hesitate to say "no" was because he cared about him.
"Hey, what are you two talking about in private, I want to listen too!" Yan Yujin's hearty voice sounded from behind again, the two looked at each other and laughed together.
"Laughing like this, you must have been talking bad about me just now," Yan Yujin caught up and looked at the two with suspicious eyes, "Hurry up and tell me what you are talking about?"
Mei Changsu smiled and said, "Speaking of your good horse racing, apart from Jing Rui, there is no rival in the entire capital."
"What?" Yan Yujin showed an unbelievable expression, "Why do you want to get rid of Jing Rui? Does he mean that he is better than me? Cheeky, let's compare!"
"Okay," Mei Changsu encouraged, "Let's start from here, how about who of you two run to Fenhe first? Dare to compare?"
"What's not to dare? But you and Xie Bi will definitely be behind, there is no witness!"
"I don't think you and Jing Rui are the kind of people who want to be fooled when they lose, right? Heaven and Earth are the most noble, what witness do you want?" Jin is hard to say."
"Che, look down on people. Compare it, Brother Su gave an order, I have to make that kid bow down in front of my horse!"
In Xiao Jingrui's mood at the moment, he really wanted to ride his horse to be happy just now, but he also thought that this place is still the border of Jiangzuo, leaving Xie Bi and Mei Changsu to be no problem, and he didn't object at the moment. Jin stood side by side.
"Prepare... Let's go!" Mei Changsu gave an order, and the two steeds were like arrows from the string, and in the blink of an eye, only two puffs of smoke remained.
"Let's take a break and then go, don't follow behind to eat ashes." After all, Xie Bi was careful, he had noticed that Mei Changsu had a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and knew that he was not feeling well, "This part is not good either. The scenery, why don't we get in the car and take a seat?"
Mei Changsu did not reluctantly, and nodded in agreement. The carriages followed several meters behind them all along the way. The groom, seeing his employer raising his hand and calling, hurried forward and put down his footstool. Xie Bi tied the two horses to the back of the car, and helped Mei Changsu to sit in the carriage together. The two casually found some light topics to talk about, such as anecdotes on the rivers and lakes, the order in the capital and so on. While we were talking about speculation, a horse neighed suddenly, and the carriage suddenly stopped. It seemed that the groom had encountered an unexpected situation and was making an emergency stop.
"What's the matter?" Mei Changsu asked Xie Bi, who had fallen into a ball with him, and asked loudly.
"Master, two people suddenly rushed in front of the car... ah..." the driver's voice began to tremble, "God, it's covered in blood..."
Mei Changsu frowned and lifted the curtain of the car. I saw two people lying on their backs covered in blood, less than two feet away from the front of the car. A poor old couple.
"Hurry up and get up." Mei Changsu ordered and jumped out of the car. Seeing that the driver was still in place because he was afraid, he stepped forward to help him. Xie Bi then came down to check the situation. After all, he was Young Master Houmen, and he didn't really want to get close to the two old men in ragged clothes and covered in blood, but seeing that Mei Changsu didn't care, he couldn't help but blushed and was ashamed. help before.
Although the two old people were lying on the ground, they were not unconscious. They felt that someone was coming to help them, so they struggled to get up again. Mei Changsu took a brief look at them, only to feel that their injuries were not serious, but that they were old and frail and had been running around for a long time. The sound of drinking, looking back, saw a group of people fighting and killing getting closer and closer, the melee was full of dust, after looking closely, there were seven or eight masked men in black besieging a middle-aged man, more precisely. It was the middle-aged man who was desperately trying to stop the people in black from chasing him in this direction. His body was covered in scars, and his pair of steel knives had danced chaotically, but his bravery remained undiminished, and he shouted out, "Empress Hu. Madam Hu, run away!"
The old man shuddered and stretched out his hand to pull the old woman. He just propped up half his body when his feet went weak and fell into a ball.
Mei Changsu's face was a little ugly. No matter what the cause was, it was an obvious pursuit from the scene. This place is still to the left of the Fenjiang River. Naturally, he could not tolerate such blatant atrocities. He immediately took out a small jade flute from his sleeve and blew a few times The tone of the song is simple and clear, but it has an air of gold, which can be heard by anyone with a little knowledge. This song is still the golden order of the Jiang Zuo League, the largest gang in the world.
Before the lingering sound of the flute fell, the movements of the men in black obviously slowed down, and finally stopped completely.
Judging from this result, Mei Changsu firmly believed in his own judgment: these men in black are killers in the arena. Because if it was a member of the government, the reaction to Jiang Zuo Jinling would probably not be like this.
This was the first time that Xie Bi had been involved so closely in the affairs of the rivers and lakes. He was excited and a little worried. In order to avoid accidentally dragging Mei Changsu down, he quietly took a few steps back. Contrary to him, Mei Changsu put away the jade flute, walked slowly, glanced coldly at the people in the arena, and said loudly: "Everyone has entered my fourteen states on the left side of the Yangtze River, and such a tragic fight is really a shame. If it is a personal grievance, I, Jiang Zuo Alliance, would like to mediate it in the middle, but if it is in the business of killing people, please think twice, in our Jiang Zuo realm, buying and selling is not like this."
Several men in black exchanged glances with each other, all of them hesitated. They were probably chasing them all the way from Fenjiang, but they didn't notice that they had reached the border of Jiang Zuo League, so they didn't think to hide their tracks. Since the Jiang Zuo League has been alerted to come forward at this time, even if it is only a sick and weak young man, after all, he has played the golden order. If you offend the Jiang Zuo League and can't kill the established target, then you really lose your wife and lose your troops.
Thinking about it like this, the choice is obvious. The killers never negotiate directly with others, so after listening to Mei Changsu's words, the group of men in black only stayed for a while, then jumped up one after another, as if When he came, he usually walked away without saying a word, "Wow, the name of the Jiang Zuo League is really good..." Xie Bi sighed in a low voice, and came over to help Mei Changsu bandage the wounded, and waited for the three people to be shocked for a while. After the decision was made, he slowly asked the reason.
In the end, I didn't know if I didn't ask, but Xie Bi was taken aback after asking.
It turned out that Hu Gong and Hu Po were peasants from Binzhou. They went out this time to sue the Yuefu in Beijing, and the person they were going to sue was not a small one. It was actually the Qingguo Gongbaiye, which is currently highly regarded by the sage. Baiye was born in Binzhou, and naturally there are many relatives there. Looking at the loyal and tragic appearance of Hu Gong and Hu Po, I want to come to the story of Qing Guo Gong's relatives running rampant in the village, fish and meat people, and take farmland for private property. It should be true, but The Duke of Qing and the Xie family of the Marquis of Ningguo were both world clansmen and had always been friends. Duke Qing was in Beijing all the year round, and it was hard to say whether he knew anything about Binzhou, so Xie Bi hesitated.
Mei Changsu was so delicate and caring, he knew what Xie Bi was hesitating at a glance, and without saying much, he was busy giving medicine to the most seriously injured middle-aged man first. This middle-aged man calls himself "Basao Zhu Minghai". Although he is not a super-class expert on the Langya list, he is also a famous hero. Because of a chance encounter, when he saw Hu Gong and Hu Fu being chased and killed by two people, he couldn't get used to it. The former rescued them, and after asking the reason, they were very indignant, so they kept them walking all the way. Who knew that there were more and more killers, and he was unable to support himself alone. If he hadn't panicked and fled into the Jiangzuo boundary this time, I was afraid that he would not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
