A simple sentence, just because it came from Mei Changsu's mouth, seemed to be surging with wind and thunder, and no one could easily doubt it. King Jing stared at the elegant and indifferent scholar in front of him, thinking of the scandals that had been raised openly and secretly since he entered the capital, and he couldn't help feeling emotional. I just don't know how this talented Jiang Zuomeilang chose himself so determinedly? Is it really just like what he said, supporting an unfavored prince can get more reliance and higher status
"How special is Your Highness's military affairs today?" Mei Changsu, as if he didn't know what he was thinking, put his hands into his sleeves and asked leisurely, "It was not too early when I came, but I saw that you still The discussion is not over."
"Routine affairs are handled very quickly. Today's delay is because of a thorny matter. Lord Gao of Jingzhao Yin's residence came to me for help."
"There's something difficult again? This year's Master Gao's luck is really good," Mei Changsu couldn't help laughing. "But this time I'm not causing him trouble. What's the matter?"
"It's not a brain-busting thing, just use brute force." King Jing said, "A monster recently appeared in the mountainous area of the eastern suburbs, disturbing the mountain residents, and reported the case to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion. Live, so come to me to borrow some soldiers. It was not difficult at first, but we want to discuss how we can ambush and capture this monster, so that we can see what it is."
"Even if it's a suburb, it's an imperial city after all. How can there be monsters? It's really a miracle. After Your Highness catches it, don't forget to open my eyes."
King Jing raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect Mr. Su to be curious..."
"Could it be that in His Highness's eyes, Su Mou is only full of gloom and bad water?" Mei Changsu joked to himself, because he felt his feet were stiff, so he got up and walked a few steps, walked to the west window, and wanted to touch it. A scarlet iron bow hanging on the wall by the window.
"Don't move!" King Jing called out immediately, Mei Changsu stopped in shock, pondered for a while, slowly lowered his arm, and without looking back, said in a low voice, "Sorry."
King Jing also felt a little rude, and explained embarrassingly: "It was a friend's relic. Before his death... he didn't like strangers touching his things..."
Mei Changsu nodded indifferently, and did not comment. He stood in front of the window for a moment, and without saying a word, he said abruptly that he was going to leave.
King Jing only thought that he was annoyed because he did not allow him to touch the iron bow, and he felt a little sorry in his heart. But if you want to apologize, it's impossible, not to mention Lin Shu's iron bow, you really can't let people touch it casually.
The two walked out of the study side by side, the atmosphere was a little awkward, Mei Changsu didn't seem to want to speak, and King Jing was not good at casually playing haha.
In fact, there is an upright main road leading to the gate, which is on the other side. But the reason why the two chose to come here in the opposite direction is because they both guessed that Fei Liu must be here.
King Jing was a member of the military, and his palace was different from other princes’ palaces. The inner courtyard was far apart and it was very small. Instead, the front courtyard took up a lot of space. In addition to several performance fields for infantry, there were also practice riding grounds. horse farm.
The situation in the Central Martial Arts Field at the moment can be described as "lively". Although Feiliu was only a bodyguard, his reputation in Jinling City was not inferior to Mei Changsu, and even for some generals, the weak and thin scholar could not attract their attention, but was a strange one. Fei Liu, who has repeatedly fought against masters of strange martial arts, is even more curious.
Therefore, Tingsheng, who was originally in charge of entertaining Fei Liu, was already crowded to the periphery, and those who challenged Fei Liu in a circle were all the generals under King Jing.
From Fei Liu's expressionless, but bright eyes, it could be seen that the boy was having a good time today. Because in the Jiang Zuo League, everyone was busy every day, and it was rare to have so many people practicing martial arts with him, not to mention that the martial arts of these sparring people were not bad, and they were all very serious, and no one was teasing. his meaning.
Seeing King Jing approaching, the sharp-eyed people stepped aside and bowed in salute. King Jing saw that Mei Changsu had nothing else to say, so he waved his hand and said, "Continue."
At this time, it was their turn to fight with Fei Liu. It was a pair of twin brothers who used long spears. They were only twenty-five or sixteen years old, and their clothes should be of the rank of school captain. , the cooperation is also very tacit. If you put your horse on the battlefield and kill the enemy, of course you are a good player. Unfortunately, when facing martial arts masters, this foundation of foot combat is not enough, and Feiliu will not vary from person to person. The merciful people, as soon as they came up, threw the two brothers on the left, one on the right, and the other on the right, and their faces tightened a little at the same time, probably because they felt that the opponents in this round were too weak and not fun.
"Don't end up like this, let His Highness watch something exciting!" With this rough voice, a figure with a burly but not cumbersome figure appeared in front of Fei Liu, holding a long-handled scimitar in his hand, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. , God is majestic, before he can make a move, he already has a pre-emptive momentum.
"General Qi! General Qi!" The surrounding crowd immediately became furious.
Qi Meng, the fourth-rank ginseng general, was a confidant and loved general who had followed King Jing for many years. He was also very popular in the army. As soon as he appeared, the atmosphere became more enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that even Fei Liu felt that this person should not be an ordinary person, so There was a hint of joy in the eyebrows.
Amid the cheers, King Jing stood with his hands behind his back, his expression very cold.
Because he knew that Qi Meng could not be Fei Liu's opponent at all.
Sure enough, Fei Liu was very interested in the peculiar shape of the machete at first, so he let go of a few tricks. After he saw it clearly, the palm of his hand suddenly turned sharp. Rao is Qi Meng's profound skills and natural The divine power could not be resisted at all. He took a few steps back, dragged the knife behind the back, and the sharp back of the knife suddenly buckled, and a knife in the knife flew out, as fast as a shooting star, and unexpectedly flew straight to the door of Liumian. And go. This move is Qi Meng's trump card, and he has repeatedly defeated powerful enemies, helping him to achieve a lot of military exploits. However, for Fei Liu, this level of attack was not enough to surprise him. With a flick of his hand, he blocked the throwing knife and nailed it to a tree. Qi Meng frowned and shouted "Get out!" The back of the knife flicked, and another bright light flashed.
Mei Changsu's expression did not change, but the black and angry pupils shrank violently in an instant.
Because this time, the flying knife came straight at his throat.
If it was Lin Shu in the past, such a flying knife would naturally not be in his eyes, but now that his whole body skills are useless, I am afraid that an ordinary strong man can't beat it, and it is impossible to avoid this snow-like blade.
Since he couldn't dodge, why should he dodge, so Mei Changsu stood there, not moving.
Fei Liu's figure has also turned into a knife at this time, chasing after him, but after all, it was too late to start, a step slower.
The handle of the flying knife was finally caught in King Jing's hand. The tip of the knife was only four fingers wide from Mei Changsu's neck, but the direction was slightly off. Even if King Jing didn't make a move, he would probably only wipe it neck over.
Mei Changsu made a slight gesture to Fei Liu, no one understood what it meant, but Fei Liu stopped all movements and stood silently.
Qi Meng scratched his head, hehe laughed, and said, "I missed it, I missed it, you scholars are not used to swords and swords, are you scared?"
Mei Changsu's face was frosty, his eyes locked on Qi Meng's face like ice needles.
This scene is not uncommon in the military. When dealing with newcomers, those who have been transferred from foreign troops, and all other people who do not like them, they often come to show off. If the other party behaves well, they can get preliminary approval.
Lin Shu had done such a thing before. That year, when my father introduced a 40-year-old scrawny scribe who was still working in the Ministry of War into an important position in the Red Flame Army, the young and arrogant Major General once deliberately broke his own sword and let a piece of sword blade fly to the other. A thin figure to test his courage.
That time, my father's military stick was so severe that he could barely get out of bed for three days.
Mei Changsu believed that King Jing must remember this incident and the words his father reprimanded him at that time.
At the scene of the execution, Nie Zhen, who was the client, did not say a single word to plead for mercy, because he knew that the reason Lin Shu was beaten was not because of provoking Nie Zhen, but because when he provoked Nie Zhen, His Royal Highness King Qi stood up. Beside Nie Zhen.
Just like when the flying knife shot over, King Jing was standing beside him.
Although Qi Meng was not malicious, his target was definitely not King Jing. But after all, he pointed the sharp edge of the blade in the direction of his lord.
If King Jing keeps the status quo, and if his future comes to an end, he is just a general king, then this scene can be laughed off.
But that is no longer the case. When his ambitions and aspirations point to the most supreme throne of Daliang, he must consciously cultivate the temperament of himself belonging to the monarch, a temperament that must never be ignored or offended in any way.
Looking at King Jing's gloomy and monolithic face, Qi Meng, who was still smiling, felt more and more wrong, and gradually panicked, he couldn't help but cast his eyes to his left front.
The higher-ranking generals under King Jing's command were all standing there, and everyone's expressions were a little nervous. One of them made a secret gesture to signal Qi Meng to kneel.
"It's the last commander who was reckless. Apologize to Mr. Sir. Please read me as a rude person. Don't take offense." Qi Meng thought about it and thought that King Jing was angry because he loved Su Zhe and hated himself for being rude to him, so he immediately followed the goodness. , bowed to Mei Changsu.
"You don't need to apologize to me," Mei Changsu smiled coldly, and what he said was like a poisoned knife, "Anyway, it is His Royal Highness Prince Jing who is embarrassed, not me."
He ignored the commotion caused by his words, his eyes were still cold, and shifted from Qi Meng's face to King Jing's face: "Su has long admired King Jing's military demeanor, I didn't expect to see him today, I'm really disappointed. It's no wonder that His Majesty has blue eyes. Throwing a flying knife in the direction of His Royal Highness King Jing is really a good rule. You can imagine your majesty among your subordinates. Su Mou has really opened his eyes today... Farewell!"
Halfway through his words, Qi Meng's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he knelt down with a plop. King Jing looked at him coldly, without saying a word, his face was sinking like water, all the people present were silent, kneeling one after another, even Ting Sheng, who didn't quite understand, was frightened by the atmosphere and quietly followed. down. Therefore, when Mei Changsu led Fei Liu out of the mansion without anyone beside him, no one dared to stop him from speaking out.
Because everyone realized that although Su Zhe's words were ugly, not a single word was wrong.
Although it is common practice to say that it is common practice to compete in martial arts and test outsiders, the presence of King Jing and the absence of King Jing should be very different after all.
"His Royal Highness," Lie Zhanying, the highest-ranking general in Prince Jing's mansion, said in a low voice, "My subordinates are wrong, please calm down your anger, and your subordinates are willing to accept the punishment."
Qi Meng slammed his head down and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness please punish."
King Jing's gaze swept the surroundings coldly, and when he saw everyone bowed their heads to avoid his gaze, they turned back to Qi Meng.
Mei Changsu used the sharpest words to leave him a big task - rectifying the interior. Because once he chooses the path of the supreme, the things that will change will be much more than he imagined. While obtaining other capital through the land invasion case, he must find a way to forge the top and bottom of Prince Jing’s mansion. into a solid iron plate.
King Jing felt the heaviness of his shoulders for the first time, but his waist was also straighter because of this.
"Qi Meng was disrespectful and arrogant. He was beaten with two hundred military sticks and reduced to a centurion. Zhan Ying, you are imprisoned."
After just saying this, King Jing turned around and strode away, leaving a large group of overwhelmed subordinates on the school grounds.
