Chapter 594: Off-field aid: Hongnong Yang(1/2)
The flowers bloom at both ends, with one branch on each side.
Let’s not mention what countermeasures Mi Yang came up with to deal with Guo Huai’s mid-crossing attack. Let’s talk about where is Meng Da, who Mi Yang misses so much?
Perhaps even Mi Yang would not have thought that Meng Da was not in Wugong County at the moment.
Meng Da, who wanted to be the best in the world, knew very well how to gain wealth in danger, so Meng Da left Wugong County some time ago.
And his destination is Luoyang, the capital of Cao Wei!
As the saying goes, the most dangerous places are sometimes the safest.
No matter how hard Cao Pi tried, he would never have thought that Meng Da, whom he wanted to kill, would jump right in front of his eyes not long ago.
Not to mention that Cao Pi would not have thought that Yang Biao, who had been living in the mansion in recent years, was shocked when he learned that Meng Da came to visit.
Fortunately, Yang Biao is also a person who has seen the wind and waves.
Although Meng Da's sudden visit surprised him, he did not lose his temper after all.
But even though Yang Biao chose to temporarily take in Meng Da due to some of his ancestors' connections, in the past few days since Meng Da arrived at the Yang Mansion, Yang Biao had not received Meng Da in order to avoid suspicion.
After several days of waiting, Meng Da, who was eager to make great achievements, became even more irritable.
Finally, after having dinner early this morning, Meng Da once again made a request to see Yang Biao to Yang Xiao, who had been responsible for "entertaining" him in recent days.
Yang Xiao is the eldest son of Yang Xiu. After Yang Xiu was killed by Cao Cao, and Yang Biao was old, Yang Xiao gradually became the person in charge of the Yang family despite his young age.
The experience of losing his father when he was young gave Yang Xiao a maturity and sophistication that was inconsistent with his peers.
After hearing Meng Da's request, there was no obvious look of rejection on Yang Xiao's face.
He just said in tactful language: "My eldest father is old and frail. He has often been bedridden in recent years. I'm afraid I won't be able to see my uncle."
After saying these words, Yang Xiao's face showed a sad look at the right time.
This look seemed to symbolize that Yang Biao was going to die soon.
It's just that although Yang Xiao is young and mature, it's a pity that sitting opposite him is Meng Da, who is more experienced than him.
Meng Da looked at Yang Xiao with a playful look.
He remembered that when he first made a similar request, Yang Xiao used this reason to evade it.
In the subsequent days of requests, Yang Xiao's reasons for evading the request never changed.
If it was said that when Yang Xiao declined these words for the first time, Meng Da still felt a little credible in his heart, but now that little credibility in Meng Da's heart has long been obliterated by the strong desire in his heart.
Did Yang Xiao really think that when he entered Luoyang this time, he only wanted to pay homage to the younger generation and pay homage to "Mr. Yang" who is famous all over the world?
After looking at Yang Xiao for a long time, Meng Da picked up a brocade handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, then asked Yang Xiao:
"In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, the young master should have been fifteen years old.
The age of fifteen is enough for the young master to remember things, but the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an was only six short years ago. Has the young master forgotten the revenge of killing his father?"
When Meng Da asked this question, his tone contained a hint of accountability from the elders to the younger ones.
The tone of accountability coupled with the words "revenge for killing his father" had a huge impact on Yang Xiao.
Almost as soon as Meng Da finished speaking, Yang Xiao's expression instantly changed from gentle to gloomy.
During the more than 400 years since the Han Dynasty ruled the world, the concept of "ruling the world with filial piety" has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
For ordinary people, if anyone dares to insult their parents, they may violently kill to vent their anger, let alone Yang Xiao, who grew up with a moral education.
How could Yang Xiao forget the revenge of killing his father, and how dare he forget it!
Seeing Meng Da mention the past events that he least wanted to recall, young Yang Xiao felt a surge of blood boiling in his heart. He had subconsciously wanted to express the anger in his heart with a roar.
But thinking of Yang Biao's cautiousness and earnest teachings in the past few years, Yang Xiao resisted the urge in his heart.
After spending a lot of effort to calm down his mood, Yang Xiao's eyes when he looked at Meng Da had long lost the salute before.
After several days of delay, has Meng Da, the uncle, finally begun to seek revenge?
Yang Xiao, who had gone through great changes, was not an ordinary child of an aristocratic family who was easily deceived. He had guessed early on that Meng Da's purpose of venturing to the Yang Mansion was definitely not simple.
This is also the reason why he has been using lies to deceive him these past few days.
Yang Xiao originally thought that Meng Da, who was also from a noble family, would eventually leave wisely after learning about his attitude.
What he didn't expect was that his uncle was more "ignorant" than he imagined.
Now that Meng Da has the intention to show off, Yang Xiao is not so easy to manipulate.
Yang Xiao did not answer Meng Da's question, he just said calmly:
"Uncle Shi is in the Yang Mansion today. I'm afraid only my uncle and I know about it in Luoyang."
Although Yang Xiao still called Meng Da uncle Shi in his words, Yang Xiao's tone made Meng Da understand the deeper meaning of his words.
His whereabouts are currently known only to Yang Xiao and Yang Biao, so if he suddenly disappeared, wouldn't anyone think of Yang Xiao and Yang Biao?
For a family with a rich heritage like the Hongnong Yang family, it is extremely easy for them to want a person to disappear silently in his house, as if they had never been there.
It was obvious that Yang Xiao was threatening Meng Da in a subtle way.
What Yang Xiao thought was that Meng Da would not eat it if it was soft, so he would prepare a hard one.
It's a pity that Yang Xiao still seems a little too immature in front of Meng Da.
After hearing Yang Xiao's threat, Meng Da did not show any panic on his face.
Instead, he said very easily: "Before I came to Luoyang, I wrote a letter to my Lord informing me of my whereabouts.
In the letter, I made it clear to the Lord that if one day I could no longer serve you, I would definitely be killed by the Yang family of Hongnong.
In addition, I, Meng, have some connections in Fufeng after all. Before I left Wugong County, I also told some friends who I was going to visit.
If I did not return to my Lord in the end, what would my Lord think?
Hongnong Yang, can you withstand the anger of my lord?
Or should my nephew want to take a gamble that after I fail to return to martial arts as scheduled, will my friends report to Cao Rui that I visited your house?
Considering the Cao family's fear of the Hongnong Yang family, can the Hongnong Yang family survive this crisis?"
Every word Meng Da said fell into Yang Xiao's ears, and after Yang Xiao listened to Meng Da's words, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
This uncle of his is really good at pulling off tiger skins!
Who in the world doesn't know that his master is General Mi? Who in the world dares to face his strength now?
As for what Meng Da said about having someone report him for visiting Yang Biao, Yang Xiao thought it was a very cruel method.
Using his own life to set up a trap to drag Hongnong Yang into trouble, his uncle was like a mad dog.
Yang Xiao immediately stood up and glared at Meng Da:
"The Hongnong Yang family has been friends with the Fufeng Meng family for hundreds of years. The Hongnong Yang family has never been sorry to the Fufeng Meng family. Why would uncle Shi deliberately try to frame my Yang family like this!"
Yang Xiao's anger only made Meng Da glance sideways, and he didn't even bother to move.
Although Meng Da was treated obediently in front of Mi Yang, it was only in front of Mi Yang.
What kind of class is Yang Xiao? How can his words disturb Meng Da's mind?
After Yang Xiao vented his anger, Meng Da repeated his request:
"Take me to see Mr. Yang, and nothing I just said will happen."
After saying this, Meng Da immediately closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Meng Da knew that Yang Xiao would definitely lose his temper.
Sure enough, before Meng Da could think for a long time, a helpless sigh came out of Yang Xiao's mouth:
"My eldest father has ignored the world for a long time, so why drag him into this muddy world again?"
Yang Xiao's sigh meant that he was no longer as persistent as before.
Meng Da, who realized this, immediately opened his eyes and struck while the iron was hot and said:
"Can Mr. Yang and his wise nephew really forget the hatred of killing their son and killing their father?"
Meng Da's words seemed to have magic power, and at this moment they finally opened Yang Xiao's heart.
Perhaps because he wanted to avenge his father's murder, or perhaps because he wanted to prevent Meng Da's conspiracy from succeeding, Yang Xiao finally made a compromise.
"Shi, Uncle Shi, please come with me."
After hearing Yang Xiao's words, Meng Da was overjoyed.
But he kept a normal expression on his face, got up and followed Yang Xiao towards a courtyard.
The courtyard where Yang Biao lived was actually not far from the courtyard where Meng Da lived.
After following Yang Xiao through several corridors, Meng Da arrived outside the courtyard where Yang Biao lived.
Yang Xiao then asked Meng Da to wait outside while he went in first to report the matter.
Not long after Yang Xiao entered the courtyard, Meng Da waited for Yang Xiao's return.
When Yang Xiao came back, he had a look of shame on his face. He must have been scolded by Yang Biao just now.
