When Mo Li returned to the General’s Mansion, the watchman had just knocked on the second watch.
The encirclement of the imperial guards is not tight, just guarding near the front door and the side door, not patrolling around the wall, which makes Moli feel a little strange. After entering the house, before putting down the medicine bag, the gerbil hurriedly got out of the ink carp clothes and rushed to the bedroom.
“…”
What’s wrong, running so fast?
Mo Lei reached out his arms in doubt, and found that the fat mouse had dropped even the amber bracelet.
This string of amber was deliberately polished into a round bead shape, large and very full, because the color tends to be bright yellow, so it became an object that the emperor and prince could use.
It looks like chestnuts fried in sugar from a distance, but it looks more like it when you look up close…
Mo Lei put the string of amber on the table, hesitated, did not enter the bedroom, but sat on the low couch by the window and waited.
Not long after, Meng Qi, who was well-dressed, walked out from the back room. If you don’t know the truth, you will never connect the chubby gerbil from all directions to the person in front of you.
“Liu Dan is in trouble.”
“Huh?”
Mo Li was taken aback when he heard this, not knowing where Meng Qi started.
“The surveillance outside the mansion is just a look, but near Yiguangmen there are heavy soldiers, bows and crossbows. If you say this is a search of the rebellious mansion here, it can barely be said, but it was not like this yesterday. “
“…not to catch the thief?”
After all, many officials lost their official robes at their homes. Although the city was in chaos, they could not immediately report to the officials to let the Taijing Mansion arrest the thief. However, the official robes brought back by Meng Qi were all of high grade. Among the civil servants, there is no lack of second-tier seniors. At this moment, Wenyuan Pavilion has mastered the situation in the palace and the army. Although the factions of the civil ministers are intricate, this heinous act of theft will definitely make the courtiers tremble with anger, and they will be investigated to the end.
Think deeper, why would anyone steal court orders?
Not only stole the official robes, but also the rice grains. Is it a rebellious person? Trying to pretend to be an official and get out of the city?
“Not catching a thief.” Meng Qi gave a light cough.
Moli looked over suspiciously, not because he didn’t believe it, but because the gerbil was nestled in his arms. What could he see?
“Those people are hiding in ambush…not only in high places, but also in my favorite corners.” Meng Qi hinted implicitly.
The doctor’s light skills are good, and he runs fast, but he is not familiar with Taijing’s path, and there is always time to pause to identify the direction. Because there were guards everywhere in the capital, Moli did not pay attention to where these people were, but it was different in the eyes of gerbils.
When Meng Qi became a gerbil, he liked to walk around. He knew where to hide and where to see all the movement of nearby roads and mansions.
More importantly, Meng Qi understands the art of war and has led soldiers in battles.
In some cities, although the gates were breached, there would still be remnants of soldiers remaining in the alleys of the city to resist.
Sometimes it was spies who stayed in their own city, instigated rebellion, tried to burn the grain or seize the city. During Li Yuanze’s conquest of the world, Meng Qi spent a long time guarding the rear, and he deployed troops on this terrain. Familiar.
Just a few cursory glances will reveal the clues.
“When we went there, it was not so tight. When we came back from the palace, several places where we could ambush were already lined up with heavy soldiers, just like opening a big net, waiting for fish to appear.”
Meng Qi approached the ink carp inadvertently, then bowed his head slightly,
Seeing that face was getting closer and closer to him, Mo Li’s breathing was messed up, and then he recovered.
For martial arts masters with deep internal skills, this is very abnormal. Just because the inner master’s breath is stable and the inner strength is running all the time, eating and sleeping will not be affected, this kind of breathing law is difficult to break.
Meng Qi didn’t seem to have noticed anything. He picked up the string of amber and raised his head to continue talking about the abnormal behavior of the Imperial Guard.
Mo Lei settled down, the thought that had just passed away was so fast that he didn’t catch it, but the pause in his inner breath was real. He knew that this could not be hidden from Meng Qi, and he was embarrassed.
The embarrassment is because I can’t explain my accident.
“Sorry, doctor, I should say…waiting for the prey to appear.”
Fish or something, just a description.
Meng Qi fiddled with the string of amber beads, thinking that he couldn’t make it too obvious.
If the doctor notices it, he won’t be able to turn his face, but it will be a bitter medicine!
Meng Qi looked out the window nonchalantly, and continued: “Liu Dan has only a dozen guards around him. Even if he is a skilled archer and a soldier from the bitter cold land of northern Xinjiang, it is difficult to break through the siege. This It was a force that forced Liu Dan to leave the capital. It made him feel that he was in danger, his official position was not preserved, and he might even lose his life. Once Liu Dan tried to escape from the city, he would be charged with treason, even if he was shot and killed on the spot. , No one else can say anything.”
Moli was distracted by Meng Qi’s words, and he couldn’t help frowning: “Liu Tan’s soldiers and horses are in Pingzhou. Even if Lu Zhang needs military attaches to suppress the situation inside and outside Taijing, he will not find Liu Dan’s body to recover. Tan, what threat does he have that is worth the courtiers to deal with deliberately?”
If you say that you are afraid of Liu Dan’s leading ability, even Moli doesn’t believe this.
Liu Dan is just a fourth-rank miscellaneous general, and his power is still far away in the Pingzhou area. It is already a trend for Qi Dynasty to emphasize civility and despise military affairs, and Moli has already felt this after entering Beijing.
Liu Dan was left unused and fell into trouble. This is a common occurrence in officialdom. However, it was very strange to call out the Imperial Guard and make it clear that Liu Dan’s life would be directly required to buckle the black pot.
“Is it aimed at the Six Princes? Someone saw that the Six Princes entered the General Mansion?” Mo Li felt a headache, and obviously refused the Prince’s request to take care of his brother. In a blink of an eye, the problem spread to Liu Dan.
Living in someone else’s house, you can’t just stand by.
Furthermore, after meeting so many times, they are not friends with Liu Dan, but they are also considered acquaintances.
“Does Liu Dan know about this?”
“Go and tell him, he will know it naturally.”
Meng Qi stuffed Amber into the hidden pocket in his sleeve, let Moli rest, and went to the front yard by himself.
Sure enough, Liu Dan didn’t sleep. Instead, he took his own soldiers to ponder the terrain near Taijing, apparently really planning to find a chance to escape the city.
There were only two candles left, and a group of people gathered around the table, arguing in a low voice from time to time.
Liu Dan leaned back on the chair with his brows furrowed. When he was worried, he suddenly heard a voice sounding next to him:
“When are you going to leave?”
“…”
Everyone was shocked, they all jumped up and almost overturned the table.
Liu Tan looked at Meng Qi dumbfounded, wondering how the other party entered the flower hall silently when the door and windows were closed.
At this moment, the movement inside attracted the attention of the soldiers stationed outside the door. They quickly opened the door and checked, only to find a person who shouldn’t be here, and immediately looked at each other.
——Did they just doze off when they were standing guard? It seems not!
“The general forgive me.”
The guards at the gate bowed their heads helplessly, no matter what, they did not fulfill their duties.
Liu Dan waved his hand without further questioning.
Because he knew that it was useless to ask, he knew from the expressions of the soldiers, they were as unaware as himself.
Liu Dan looked at the table subconsciously, and then was pleased to find that the soldiers had quickly put away the crudely drawn map, and then he touched his waist.
No wallet.
I looked up again and found that Meng Qi’s eyes were amused. Liu Dan was horrified and quickly said: “The national teacher came here late at night, but what can I do wrong about it?”
Liu Dan began to sweat behind his back, because from the surface, he just put the people in the farthest backyard and led them to discuss the escape plan overnight, as if he couldn’t wait to get rid of the trouble of the national teacher.
What else is there to say, it must be explained!
“To be honest, your Majesty cannot be a director now. There are many variables in Taijing, so he planned to leave first.”
Liu Dan didn’t intend to bring the second and sixth princes. He couldn’t protect himself, and he didn’t want to be an emperor. What’s the use of these two troubles? And it was these two who bothered to find the door by themselves.
Meng Qi nodded, Liu Dan’s choice was not unexpected.
I casually found a chair at the table and sat down, and Meng Qi said leisurely: “Actually, you are gone, and this is a good thing for me to live with the doctor in such a big house!”
Liu Dan heard something wrong in Meng Qi’s tone.
“There is something in the words of the national teacher, I don’t know–“
“But the owner of the house is alive, and the owner is dead. There is a big difference.”
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and Meng Qi recounted what he had just seen before Liu Dan asked.
It is absolutely nothing to become a gerbil and a doctor to enter the palace to treat the prince’s illness. The truth is that Meng Guoshi was idle, wandering around the mansion, and accidentally found those ambushes.
Liu Dan’s face turned blue and white, and his soldiers also showed indignation.
The murder is no more than nodding, so why do you come for such a conspiracy?
“Do you have an enemy in the DPRK?” Meng Qi asked directly.
The practice of inviting you to enter the urn without leaving alive is not a general enmity.
Liu Dan slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily: “What hate do I have with them? It’s not about money or food! Those people from the Ministry of War are detained repeatedly, and three thousand soldiers and horses are only willing to chew for two thousand people. It is said that the generals are eating empty salaries, but why do we falsely report over the number of soldiers? It’s not because they are deducting them. What can be done to feed the people under them? For this matter, which emperor in the past dynasties does not know, except for the unconscious king They seized on this matter and played it repeatedly, as if the military officers were all moths who corrupted the country, and they were upright for the country and the people!”
Meng Qi listened calmly, without speaking.
As Liu Dan said, eating empty salary is a thing in all dynasties, and it is a vicious circle.
The officials in the imperial court felt that the number of pawns reported was false, so they only offered part of it. Over time, the border, which is claimed to be guarded by a 200,000 army, is not bad for 150,000 people.
This is still the duty of the civil servants, the military commanders’ life, and there is no excessive corruption.
If there is another black heart in the middle of making money, it will be even more shocking.
“If it’s just empty pay, they will use this charge to put you in jail without such trouble.” Meng Qi felt that things were not so simple.
Liu Tan smiled and said in a low voice, “Because I am currently eating empty salaries, I need to get a share for the people of the Ministry of War! That share of money will not go out of Beijing at all, and it will be divided up by those guys. How do you come and go? We don’t know who it ended up in. In recent years, their appetite has been too big and has attracted the attention of His Majesty. Jin Yiwei is investigating this matter.”
“Do you have evidence in your hands?” Meng Qi asked directly.
Liu Dan hesitated, then nodded.
“What kind of evidence, account book or letter?”
“It is a letter. Although there is no heading and inscription, the content can prove that someone in the DPRK colluded with the local military attache and embezzled money and food. This is the evidence I have bothered to find. The people in Jin Yiwei probably don’t know it yet.”
However, if the letter is lost, one of the sender and receiver will always notice it, but it just doesn’t know who it has fallen into.
“Does anyone know that you have this letter in your hand.”
“…No one knows except for a few of my henchmen.”
Liu Dan suppressed the restlessness in his heart, pressing his fist against the table, he was unwilling to doubt his subordinates, but when things got to this point, he didn’t want to.
Meng Qi said indifferently: “A letter is not enough. The third prince is not Lu Zhang. Now is the time to rely heavily on courtiers. Even if you have evidence, you won’t let them hurt. There must be something here. There are other reasons. In any case, General Liu should postpone his departure from the city.”
Liu Dan sat heavily in the chair.
As an official for many years, he knows a lot of secrets, but they are all things that have no real evidence. Not only does he know that others also know, he can’t think about it because of these things.
“If it weren’t for the Mexican army…what else…”
Liu Dan talked to himself. After waiting for someone to speak for a long time, he looked up and saw that only his own soldiers were left in the house.
“Where is the national teacher?”
“Leave,” the soldier said helplessly.
Besides, I walked through the window. The figure looked like a ghost, and there was no sound from opening the window to leaving.
The soldiers looked straight. They didn’t expect the assassin, but thought that if there were such people in the army, wouldn’t it be like going to the enemy’s account to steal information? Then I sighed in my heart, it is no wonder that Emperor Chu Yuan was able to lay down the country.
——I don’t know this kind of benefit at all, in fact, Emperor Chu Yuan never got it.
This kind of misunderstanding is not only caused by Liu Dan and the soldiers, but most of them are no exception.
When I saw a person, I thought that he was as good as he is now, always so powerful, and would not be hurt by anything.
The six princes hid behind the flower garden, staring at the movement in the flower hall, thinking about his ideas, and suddenly his ears moved and he heard the sound of extremely light footsteps.
The six princes stepped back immediately.
When the second prince is found standing not far away, the sixth prince smiles sarcastically on his lips. You want to sneak up and listen in on this ability?
The sixth prince always looked down on this second brother, thinking that he acted recklessly, bravely, and couldn’t do anything.
“What are you doing? Grab my handle?” The Sixth Prince sarcastically.
“This is what I want to ask you.” Lu Yan looked at the flower hall and said coldly, “Sixth brother still thinks that he is a stranger, General Liu will definitely help? You can’t enter the palace, you can’t see it. Brother Big Emperor, you can’t leave the capital, so how are you better than me in the current situation?”
The six princes changed their expressions, and then hummed: “At least I have no charge of conspiracy.”
Lu Yan looked at him, seeming to want to laugh, and held back.
The six princes are like raccoon slaves, jumped up and asked sharply: “What are you laughing at?”
Lu Yan said slowly: “Sixth brother, it’s wasted that you are smart since you were a child. Why don’t you understand it now? You run away privately, and the news hasn’t spread yet. They can say that the six princes worship the imperial mausoleum. When I come back, I can’t afford to get sick… It’s not too difficult to report this illness for a year or two! By that time I will be a rebellious at best, but you will be a dead man.”
“You!”
The six princes almost died of anger, his chest rising and falling, and he was speechless for a long time.
Lu Min had the upper hand, and he was very happy.
Since the six princes studied, the civil servants in charge of lectures praised him for his agility and his ability to recite the four books and five classics well and quickly. Even the training of martial arts and bows also praised him for his natural strength and excitement to learn. The two princes and the third princes above have been transformed into reckless men and fools by birth.
What’s the use of learning well? Wouldn’t those civil servants rather support the three princes ascending the throne?
Just like the sixth child looked down on him, Lu Yan didn’t look at the sixth child, and he didn’t like him.
Lu Yan didn’t feel complacent for long. The Sixth Prince saw through that he was just looking for a mouthful, entangled to no avail, and simply turned his back and continued to observe the situation inside and outside the flower hall.
The second prince walked up to him and continued to laugh: “What is the use of squatting here, can you see **** the father and save the brother?”
“Huh, fifty steps and one hundred steps, what good do you have?” The Sixth Prince looked at Lu Min and curled his lips. “I can’t touch that Meng Guoshi, and I don’t want to admit his incompetence, so he ran to me. Come to find balance?”
Lu Yan was furious.
So the two princes fought again.
When the family of Liu’s family and the soldiers rushed over, they looked at the two princes rolling in a ball among the flowers.
Originally, the second prince had the advantage because of his old age, but unfortunately the sixth prince knew martial arts.
It is reasonable to say that the sixth prince can control Lu Min, who is brave but only knows how to fist, but this second prince is like a posture of punching the master with random punches. No matter what tricks, he will talk about it. .
With a headache, Liu Dan ordered the soldiers to separate the two princes, and then sighed.
“General?” The soldier called out worriedly.
Their generals are determined and decisive, how can they become what they are now.
Liu Dan is also thinking, which stick of incense did he burn right? A group of people outside the mansion who wanted his life, two hot potatoes in the mansion, and a Meng Guoshi who might be upset and kill him at any time.
Headache!
“General, what shall we do now?”
“…Go back to sleep!”
Liu Dan flicked his robe, he didn’t care!
***
The ink carp took off his shirt and adjusted his breath cross-legged on the bed.
Suddenly a figure entered the window silently, Mo Li turned his ears slightly, he didn’t need to open his eyes, only with the familiar breath, he knew that Meng Qi was back.
The man paced the outside a few times, seeming to put something down, and then walked into the bedroom.
There was only one bed in the room. The reason given by the generals was that there were not enough bedding and pillows.
Actually, it’s okay for two people to live here. There is a couch in the outer room and a bed in the inner room. There is no need to huddle together.
Mo Li thought that Meng Qi had something to say when he came in. He was about to reduce his internal strength to stop adjusting his breath, and he felt itchy on his face, as if something was rubbing his cheek lightly.
Although you can’t be disturbed when you practice internal skills, it’s still very difficult for them to get caught up in the martial arts realm. The movement of internal force in the meridians has become a habit, even during daily breathing. Unless the mood fluctuates violently and you are happy and sad, it will have no effect.
Mo Li opened his eyes suddenly and found Meng Qi sitting next to him, looking at him.
——The hand has not been retracted yet.
So you got your face touched just now?
Mo Li is a little confused and doesn’t understand what Meng Qi is doing.
“Do you read the script? The one bought by Fengxingge, I only read the paintings, but I haven’t read the words yet!”
“…”
Don’t sleep in the middle of the night, look at the script with the **** pictures?
Mo Lei thinks something is wrong, but can’t find a reason to oppose it. He is close to Meng Qi, and he also admires Mr. Jinshui’s paintings. Now that I’m idle, I can really flip through the textbook.
“What were you doing just now? Just call it out, why do you do it?”
“Afraid to startle the doctor.”
Facing the smiling face, Mo Li suddenly felt itchy hands.
I want to rub the fat mouse into a mess of itchy hands.
“At the latest, the capital will definitely change, just as the prince Chao has much ability.” Meng Qi very naturally except for his outer shirt.
It’s still cold in spring, all dressed in robes, and there is a piece of clothing under the outer shirt.
Mo Li was a little puzzled when he saw Meng Qi not only taking off his shirt, but he didn’t seem to want to stop.
“Huh?” Meng Qi suddenly lowered his head and looked at the clothes inside, pulling a few threads and said, “The texture of the clothes is too bad, and it will break before being washed.”
Moli subconsciously reached out and touched it, and found a hole, and then accidentally pulled out a few threads.
“…”
If the ink carp was born in a rich and prosperous place, chances are it would be fooled by Meng Qi.
However, there are too many black carps in the clothes with holes and wear and tear.
This broken place is obviously torn apart. Touching the position again, it is the place where the gerbil was lying on its stomach. What else do you not understand?
Seeing that someone is going to use his cheeky to forcefully get through, Moli gathered up his clothes and said directly: “Brother Meng needs a file?”
Files are objects for manicure.
Meng Qi’s expression was stagnant. The doctor he knew was not like that. The doctor upholds the gentleman’s way. He would never say anything embarrassing to each other like this. He would take care of him and change the subject very cooperatively.
Can a good gentleman be bullied?
Moli took the script from Meng Qi’s hand and said solemnly: “The nails are long, not only will they scratch the clothes, but also the paper. Although we have money on our bodies, we can afford clothes, but if we are caught It’s damaged, isn’t it a pity? No, I won’t read it today.”
Meng Qi: “…”
