Chapter 214: Conspiracy in the middle of the night(1/2)
Under Mi Yang's order, Gan Gao led several personal guards to the camp outside the city.
When he arrived outside Mengda's military tent, Gan Gao did not go in directly to wake Mengda up, because Mi Yang summoned Mengda, not Suo Na.
Gan Gao stood outside Mengda's military tent and ordered the guards outside Mengda's tent to go in and wake Mengda up.
It was almost late at night, and Meng Da had already gone to bed. Unexpectedly, after he fell asleep, the call of his personal guards rang around him.
Mengda has been in the army for many years, so he sleeps very little.
Mengda suddenly woke up from his dream at the call of his personal guard.
After Meng Da woke up from his dream and learned that Mi Yang summoned him, confusion appeared in Meng Da's eyes.
It's so late, why did the general call him?
Although Mi Yang is considered Meng Da's junior, Mi Yang's official position is currently higher than Meng Da's, and Meng Da is the person Liu Bei personally pointed out to Mi Yang, so in the face of Mi Yang's summons, Meng Da did not dare to delay at all
.
Meng Da quickly got up, went to the copper basin in the tent, and washed his face a little with the water in the basin.
Although winter has not yet entered, the nights in West City are already a bit chilly.
Under the cold water covering his face, Meng Da regained consciousness quickly.
Then Mengda casually put on a cloak and walked out of the tent.
When Gan Gao saw that Meng Da had woken up, he bowed slightly to Meng Da, and then walked into the city with Meng Da.
Meng Da followed Gan Gao, constantly thinking about Mi Yang's purpose in calling him.
Because of his relationship with Fa Zheng, Meng Da also knew Mi Yang somewhat.
Meng Da had met Mi Yang several times in the past when Mi Yang was studying at Fazheng Mansion in Chengdu. At that time, he only thought that this young man was quite calm.
Later, following Mi Yang's outstanding performance in the police, and following his observation during this period of time under Mi Yang's command, Meng Da felt that his superior officer was a person who made plans later.
Meng Da would not believe such a person if he was summoned urgently late at night if there was nothing important.
It's just that Meng Da thought about it, but he still didn't realize the purpose of Mi Yang summoning him.
So in the end Mengda could only put away all his thoughts and follow Gan Gao calmly.
Anyway, you will naturally know what the purpose is as soon as you see Mi Yang.
Although Meng Da was keenly aware that Mi Yang did not trust him as much as Zhang Yi and Deng Ai, Meng Da was not too worried.
His own family knew his own affairs, and his previous behavior in Dongsan County. It was a blessing to be able to survive by chance, so how could he expect others to trust him in every possible way?
But Meng Da wouldn't be too worried about Mi Yang's behavior towards him.
With Fazheng's close relationship with him, he would be better off with Mi Yang than under anyone else.
I think it wouldn't be a bad thing if Mi Yang summoned him tonight.
The military camp outside the city was not far from the county government in the city. Under the leadership of Gan Gao, Meng Da arrived at the lobby of the county government soon.
After Meng Da came to the hall, he saw Mi Yang who had finished processing the official documents.
After Mi Yang saw Meng Da arrive, he ordered Gan Gao to lead some personal guards to surround the outer hall and not allow anyone to enter.
Mi Yang's actions made Meng Da's calm heart begin to ripple again.
After Mi Yang was ordered to guard the outer hall, a smile appeared on his face and he said to Meng Dayan: "Come forward, Zidu."
Mengda was originally named Zijing, but later changed the name to Zidu to avoid taboos because Liu Bei's uncle was named Liu Zijing.
Biaozi is a kind of honorific title between people in the world.
It can be used when addressing elders or venerables, when addressing peers, or when elders address younger ones.
Anyway, as long as you don't have any objection to this person, you can call him by his nickname.
It's not just peers who can call each other by their cousins.
Seeing Mi Yang calling his cousin with a smile and asking him to come forward, Meng Da's doubts became more serious.
In the past, Mi Yang usually addressed him as a military official.
But in the face of Mi Yang's call, Meng Da did not dare to neglect at all. After taking off his shoes, he quickly walked to Mi Yang and found a seat to sit on.
At this time, in the lobby, in addition to Mi Yang and Meng Da, there were many of Mi Yang's personal guards.
The personal guards guarding Mi Yang are naturally majestic men with swords.
Looking at the guards with swords around him, Meng Da felt that the atmosphere tonight was a bit solemn.
But before Meng Da could think about it, Mi Yang took the lead and asked Meng Da, "Has Zidu been wronged recently?"
Mi Yang's seemingly caring question shocked Meng Da's mind.
Meng Da hurriedly raised his hands and replied to Mi Yang: "There are wise generals above, loyal and brave colleagues in the middle, and brave soldiers below. How can Da have any words of grievance?"
Hearing Meng Da's answer, Mi Yang couldn't help laughing.
Then Mi Yang continued to speak to Meng Day: "Zi Du was originally the title of Shangyong Prefect and General, which can be said to be a high and powerful position."
"Now Zidu is just a captain under my command. According to common sense, Zidu should have some complaints about being under me."
"In other words, I will also have some complaints against the king."
When Mi Yang's heart-wrenching words reached Mengda's ears, he looked at Mi Yang's personal guards who were vaguely surrounding him. Meng Da's face was livid with fear.
Slander! Slander!
Meng Da's body began to shake. He had seen Mi Yang's methods before.
Hundreds of Shen's gang members killed him at will without batting an eyelid.
Isn't it because Mi Yang is so ruthless that he said, "How can I allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed?"
Now that Mi Yang regards him as that "other person", how can Meng Da not feel afraid?
But then Meng Da thought that Mi Yang might have been slandered by a villain because of his sudden behavior, so he specially called him in tonight for questioning.
Otherwise, given Mi Yang's prestige in the army, if he really wanted to kill him, just an order would be enough.
Thinking of Meng Da here, he was so frightened that he quickly bowed his head to Mi Yang, and then kept paying homage to Mi Yang:
"Da is loyal to the king, and he has never disobeyed the general. I hope the general will understand."
When he said this, Meng Da's words already had a vibrato.
But after saying this, Meng Da felt that it was not enough, so he kept repeating the same sentence to Mi Yang.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I hope the general will be filial and honest and not be fooled by the villain's words."
While Meng Da was talking and paying homage to Mi Yang, his back was soaked with cold sweat.
It is true that he complained about Liu Bei before, this is human nature.
But that was just before. Ever since he followed Mi Yang, his heart had never been restless.
While Meng Da was worried about Mi Yang punishing him, he also had cruel intentions in his heart.
If he knew which villain had wronged him in front of Mi Yang, he would definitely take revenge.
Mi Yang looked at Meng Da's frightened look and was speechless.
His tone was not harsh, but he simply asked, why did Meng Da react so loudly?
This is a guilty conscience, right?
Mi Yang asked the guards on the side to help Meng Da up.
After the guards helped Meng Da up, Mi Yang said to Meng Da warmly: "Tonight I got information that Xia Houshang led 20,000 troops to Wudang County."
When Mi Yang's words reached Meng Da's ears, the panicked Meng Da finally calmed down a little.
Mi Yang no longer dwelled on the heart-wrenching words just now, but suddenly told him the information.
Could it be that Mi Yang's intention tonight was to test and beat him first, and then let him lead the army on an expedition?
However, Xiahou Shang brought 20,000 soldiers and horses this time, which was twice the total strength of Han Xing's three battalions combined.
Besides, Xiahou still has a city to rely on, how can he win this battle?
Only then did Mi Yang reveal his true purpose tonight: "I want to eliminate the hidden dangers in Wudang, and I hope Zidu can help me."
Seeing Mi Yang say this, the look of surprise on Meng Da's face became even stronger.
Mi Yang couldn't really let him lead the army on the expedition.
Seeing the look of surprise on Meng Da's face, Mi Yang said to Meng Da: "As I said just now, it is normal for Zidu to complain because of the king's punishment, so I need Zidu to do something
."
When Mi Yang said these words, Meng Da's expression instantly became clear.
It turns out that what Mi Yang said just now was not to test him, but to explain a common sense.
After understanding Mi Yang's true intention, Meng Da finally let go of his hanging heart.
It turned out that Mi Yang wanted to use him tonight, not kill him.
