Chapter 27 Fake Romance

Zhong Qiyan hesitated for a while and said, "The second prince said that he would go to the emperor and send reinforcements, and asked me to be an overseer to support Master Lu."

Mundo asked, "What's the price?"

Zhong Qiyan said: "You must stand by his side and support the second prince unconditionally."

Meng Duo looked at Zhong Qiyan, as if he didn't know him, and said: "What does it matter to me whether I send reinforcements? What does it matter to me whether Beiyu can fight or not? You go tell the second prince that Meng doesn't want to step into the officialdom." Wading in muddy water."

Zhong Qiyan relayed Meng Duo's words to the second prince, and the second prince asked the master beside him: "It seems that Meng Duo doesn't care about Lu Shiying."

Zhong Qiyan was in awe of the second prince, but he was even more afraid of the master beside him. He always felt that this person was very dangerous, so he couldn't help but speak tremblingly, "Your Highness, the student has a plan."

Second Prince: "Say."

Zhong Qiyan swallowed his saliva, "Your Highness wants to let Lu Shiying stay in the capital to know that Meng Duo has surrendered to you for me, so if Lu Shiying is disheartened, you might as well let Meng Duo and his students go to Beijing together." Islet, if he sees that Meng Duo is already with the students, he will definitely be in a state of chaos and cannot restrain himself, and it is not impossible to induce the old poison to flare up."

The second prince: "If Meng Duo and Lu Shiying resurface in Beiyu, what will you do? If your Highness's plan is disrupted, Zhong Qiyan, you know what will happen."

Zhong Qiyan tried his best to calm himself down before he said such a thing. Hearing the second prince's questioning, he almost couldn't stand up, with cold sweat on his forehead, "Yes, it is the student who is thinking lightly and shallowly. Return, please forgive me, Your Highness."

But the master at the side suddenly said: "It's not impossible. I know Lu Shiying. I just saw Meng Duo and Mr. Zhong going back together that day, and I almost couldn't restrain my inner breath. Coughing up blood and making it difficult to fall asleep, it must be at the end of its strength and it won't last long. If you give him another heavy blow at this time, you will surely get what His Highness wishes. Besides, Meng Duo left the capital, and the shop of the Meng Mansion is not at your disposal. Go, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages." Zhong Qiyan's back broke out in a layer of cold sweat, as expected someone was spying on them, and he belatedly felt lucky that he shook Meng Duo's hand that night.

The master is the person who knows Lu Shiying best. Since he said so, the second prince also thinks it is feasible. After Zhong Qiyan left, the second prince asked: "As soon as Zhong Qiyan and Meng Duo leave the capital, it will be difficult for my highness to control them." .”

The master smiled slightly, "Your Highness, don't worry, if you can't control it, just kill it."

The second prince saw the cold-blooded and ruthless words of the kind-hearted master in an understatement, and felt a creepy chill. Presumably the supernatural deer Shi Ying must not have known that the master of the national temple who raised and cultivated him since he was a child was devouring his heart. A person who is poisoned to the bones must not guess that the person he respects as his teacher is the person who most wants to destroy him.

Zhong Qiyan left the second prince's mansion, went to the market to buy Meng Duo's favorite snacks, and took them to Meng's mansion.

Ever since Meng Duo learned about the Beiyu battle, he couldn't sleep well for two nights. He didn't dare to let people go out to inquire. He still remembered what Zhang Lijiang said to him before he left.

Zhang Lijiang said that Mr. Lu has monopolized the power for a long time, which has aroused some people's jealousy, and Meng Duo holds the financial resources of the capital, and financial power is the foundation of the country. He didn't think too much about it, thinking that he could achieve a good relationship, but thinking about it now is really naive and ridiculous. He doesn't know if Mr. Lu has thought about this, but Lu Shi should plan his own business step by step since he entered the WTO. He should have his own plans, but Now Lu Shi should go far to the north, Meng Duo is alone in the capital, it is best not to have anything to do with Lu Shi Ying.

Meng Duo told Zhang Lijiang that it was too late for him to resent the deer now, and he would never have anything to do with it in the future.

Zhang Lijiang took a deep look at Meng Duo, said his farewell, and got on his horse to follow the deer.

A Luo prepared a meal for Zhong Qiyan, Zhong Qiyan said: "I heard A Luo said that you have been having a bad appetite recently, so I went to buy Xu Fu's dim sum specially, you should try it."

Meng Duo looked at the colorful dim sum on the bone china white plate, was silent for a moment, and said, "You are the one who likes Xu Fu dim sum, not me." He called Zhong Qiyan by name, and said, "You never knew that I really liked Xu Fu's dim sum." What." Zhong Qiyan froze for a moment, and said: "I'm going to the north, Ah Duo, I really miss you as a brother."

Meng Duo didn't want Zhong Qiyan to meet Lu Shiying, and said, "You can tell the second prince that you don't want to go."

Zhong Qiyan shook his head: "I'm very happy to share the worries and problems of the second prince, but I just can't bear you as a brother." He stood up, walked to Meng Duo's side, took Meng Duo's hand, and said: "Aduo, you come with me Go, the second prince has already agreed."

Meng Duo frowned, trying to shake off his hand, "I think you are obsessed with ghosts, you—"

Zhong Qiyan suddenly hugged Meng Duo and buried his face in Meng Duo's shoulder.

Seeing Meng Duo frowning, Ah Luo was about to pull Zhong Qiyan away, but when he approached, Meng Duo, who was originally angry, raised his hand and hugged Zhong Qiyan as well.

In a place where only Meng Duo could hear, Zhong Qiyan covered his face with a hug and said softly, "Don't move, someone is watching me."

After receiving Meng Duo's response, Zhong Qiyan said in a low voice: "Go to Beiyu with me, leave the capital and go to Mr. Lu's side, only then can you and I be safe."

After finishing speaking in a hurry, Zhong Qiyan stepped back a little distance, looked straight into Meng Duo's eyes, and said tenderly: "Aduo, I can't bear to part with you, the journey is long, you can go with me, can you relieve my worries?"

Meng Duo looked at him for a moment and said yes.

Meng Duo has been shrewd for half his life, and saw two people as wrong, one is Lu Shiying, and the other is Zhong Qiyan.He thought that Zhong Qiyan was pedantic, old-fashioned and full of words, flattering and flattering when facing high-ranking officials, ignorant of the world, and unrealistic worship and belief in deer, which often made Meng Duo angry.

The current Zhong Qiyan still seems to be like this, timid, humble, cowardly and foolish, still obsessed.But his obsession is Lu Shiying, he firmly believes that Lu Shiying has dedicated himself, just like hundreds of scholars in the world study Lu Shiying's "Dachang Tongjian" day and night, and feel earnestly from countless laws and regulations. The people are the country, and keep in mind, willing to bow their heads and proclaim themselves ministers.

In the middle of the night, the Grand Canal is rolling with black waves, and the Yanyu Boat is like a solitary lamp floating in the endless waves. On the way home, Zhong Qiyan stood on the shore for a while, and the imperial city in the distance was faintly lit. , but he was surrounded by thick, unresolved night, and Zhong Qiyan seemed to understand why Meng Duo liked this canal.

Sorrow is like water, thousands of miles away, and I have no choice but to talk to anyone.

In prison, Zhong Qiyan learned about Meng Duo's friendship with him from the mouth of the second prince. Before Zhong Qiyan had time to think about it, and learned about Meng Duo's relationship with Lu Shiying, it was impossible not to be shocked.

In the dead of night, Zhong Qiyan sat in the prison and looked back on the seven years of acquaintance with Meng Duo. There were signs in the details, but he didn't notice it, which made Meng Duo waste his friendship and time. Fortunately, Meng Duo got a good match. It made Zhong Qiyan feel a little less guilty.

Although I don't know what kind of rift between Meng Duo and Lu Shiying, but now that the arrow is on the line, and he himself is under the control of others, he has no choice but to pretend to bow his head, so he has to wrong Meng Duo and pretend to have a relationship with him, and wait until the north to see him. At the time of the deer, Ying at the time of the deer will definitely be able to protect them well.

The emperor is sometimes sober and sometimes confused, but his vigilance towards the prince has never changed. In the eyes of the old emperor, the prince is now the one who wishes him the most to die. However, Lu Shiying was still alive, using the hands of the prince to control the land that his ancestors conquered, and enjoyed a great reputation for thousands of years.The emperor was unwilling, so he killed the virtuous.

The second prince's reinforcements were commanded by Lu Ke, accompanied by three warlords. A total of 1 troops were dispatched from Nanwen City, Liangyu City, and Jingdu City, and marched to the north in three routes. General Lu Ke led [-] people from Kyoto. , Zhong Qiyan was arranged to go north with General Lu Kelu.

Meng Duo's business suddenly became very busy, and he was also looking at the account books along the way.

General Luke disdains Zhong Qiyan, a small warlord, and hates Meng Duo even more. He thinks that Longyang's habit is a disgrace to the army, but Meng Duo doesn't care. When the army is stationed in the countryside, he always takes Zhong Qiyan to the nearest Go to the city, live in the best room, and live in one.Beside Zhong Qiyan, there is a little servant who doesn't talk much, who usually follows Zhong Qiyan, inseparable. It was given to him by the second prince to take care of his daily life, but both parties know the reason well.

When Zhong Qiyan came to the city, the servant naturally followed.

Meng Duo opened a room next door for A Luo and the young man. The young man hesitated for a moment, saying that he wanted to live with Mr. Zhong so that he could protect him nearby. Meng Duo smiled meaningfully and gave the room to the young man. Opened another one myself.

Zhong Qiyan looked at the boy standing coldly in the room, summoned up his courage and said, "Lu Shiying's people are also watching in the dark, if you don't let me live with Meng Duo, how can Lu Shiying believe it? The spy found out about the inside information and ruined His Highness's plan, can you bear the consequences?"

The servant said: "Your Highness asked me to follow you inseparably." After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I want to report to the higher authorities first, so that His Highness can make a decision."

Zhong Qiyan waved his hand: "You report."

Meng Duo had dinner, sat in the inn and waited, after a while a man dressed as a businessman walked into the inn, looked around, met Meng Duo, and asked: "But Master Meng?"

Meng Duo said yes, and the businessman hurried over, "When I heard the news, I thought I heard it wrong. The master hasn't come for two years."

Meng Duo said: "It's been a while, this time I'm passing through here, and I'll come to see you by the way."

After exchanging pleasantries, the businessman took out the account book and handed it to Meng Duo, saying: "The book of the cloth shop is regularly sent to Kyoto every year. This is the past six months." A Luo took out a few banknotes and handed them to the businessman. The businessman's eyes widened immediately after seeing the amount. Meng Duo said, "Use this money to open a few more cloth shops in the most prosperous area of ​​the city, and buy the best sources of goods." , find another ten good garment makers to sit in charge."

The businessman was puzzled: "Master, do you want to...?"

Meng Duo said lightly: "It's nothing, I just want to expand the scale."

The army rested for two days, and broke out of camp on the third day. When they returned to the team, General Lu called Zhong Qiyan to stop him, "Guardian Zhong is so leisurely. During the march, he eats delicacies from mountains and seas, lives in the upper house, and there are people to relieve his worries."

Zhong Qiyan was ashamed and didn't know what to say. Meng Duo bought a fan on the road, waved it in his hand, walked up to Zhong Qiyan, and said: "General Lu can do the same if he has money. Don't envy others. If you really have Difficulties, you tell me that Meng has always been kind and generous, and is willing to subsidize General Lu's rent."

The soldiers on the side held back their laughter. Lu Ke intended to embarrass Zhong Qiyan, but he had nowhere to put his face. He stared at Meng Duo coldly, pressed his hand on the saber at his waist, knocked Zhong Qiyan away, and left aggressively.

Zhong Qiyan clutched his sore shoulder and said, "He, he wants to kill us?"

Meng Duo glanced at him, raised his foot and took two steps forward, remembered something, then turned back and rubbed Zhong Qiyan's bumped shoulder, then said softly, "Don't be afraid, with the Second Prince here, he doesn't dare. "

On the 25th of the journey, Luke received news from Beiyu, saying that there was heavy rain in the north, many mountain roads were blocked, and the soldiers in the north were trapped in the mountain torrents.

Lu Ke is a reckless man. He was once punished by General Feng to guard the underground palace at Lingshan for causing trouble. He is now supported by the second prince. General Feng Yun and Lu Shiying have a good relationship, so Lu Shiying is in trouble today. Lu Ke It was too late to add insult to injury, not to mention rapid support, and even deliberately ordered that the army was repaired on the spot for three days in order to avoid losses in case of floods in the north.
