『ps: Please give me a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month~~~』

————The following text——

To be fair, Meng Zhong had no idea to hold Xue Gongtian Wen hostage before, and now he drew his sword just to protect himself.

After all, if he really had this idea, it would be a few steps away from Tian Wen at this moment, he could easily hold Tian Wen hostage and force Tian Wen to submit.

But he didn't do that, because he had already deeply felt that this famous Mr. Xue was actually a man with little abilities and a strong desire to revenge.

『…What should I do now?』

Although Meng Zhong's eyes were staring at Tian Wen in the distance coldly at this moment, he was quite nervous.

You should know that in order to help him resolve his old grudges with Tian Wen, his righteous brother Hui Ann specially handed him the gift from King Yan of Song to Xue Yi and Tian Wen, and asked him to bring the Wei Kingdom to Tian Wen. However, he had not expected that Tian Wen had long hated him. After the two met, they had not yet waited for Meng Zhong to come out, so they ordered the guards in the mansion to kill Meng Zhong and others, forcing Meng Zhong to draw his sword to protect himself.

Meng Zhong's family still has his mother, Ge, and his younger sister Meng Yan and his newly married wife Le Yan, how could he easily get poked? If Tian Wen insisted on harming him, he would definitely kill Tian Wen first - the problem is the result of killing Tian Wen.

It was precisely because of this consequence that he did not take the lead a few steps to take Tian Wen, but left enough time for Tian Wen to remove the order.

Similar to Meng Zhong's mood at this moment, Tian Wen was also a little nervous.

Like Feng Xi, Tian Wen also knew that Meng Zhong was a tough guy. Although he couldn't see it on the outside, he was extremely decisive once he had the intention to kill.

If it were someone else, Tian Wen wouldn't have been so afraid, and he might even sneer and sneered: "Do you dare to kill me?"

But facing the boy in front of him, Tian Wen opened his mouth several times but never dared to say the words "Do you dare to kill me?" because he knew that the guy opposite was probably really brave.

Upset that he was frightened by this young boy who was less than 80 years old and took a step back half a step. Tian Wen's face turned slightly red, suppressing the horror in his heart, and quietly took a step forward, looking at Meng Zhong and pretending to be calm and said: "If you kill Tian, ​​you will definitely not be able to escape from Daliang alive."

"Sexy and weak inside!"

Tian Wen couldn't guess what he was thinking at the moment without opening his mouth. As soon as he opened his mouth, Meng Zhong immediately guessed a few points and couldn't help but contempt in his heart.

He said lightly: "Meng is here on the order of our Song monarch, and comes with kindness. However, when Mr. Xue first met, he immediately called the guards to try to kill the life of the lower class. Oh, Mr. Xue will not be killed by the neck... If Mr. Xue insisted on doing this, then Mr. Xue could only kill himself in order to protect himself..."

While speaking, he glanced at Feng Xi who was standing not far away, thinking to himself why Feng Xi hadn't come out to smooth things over. If this continues, wouldn't he and Tian Wen have to die?

"Does Feng Xian actually don't care about Tian Wen at all?"

Meng Zhong frowned and thought.

It is certainly impossible to say that Feng Xi didn't care about Tian Wen at all. The reason why he was slow to smooth things over was just because Meng Zhong's momentum was shocked. After all, he was already afraid of Meng Zhong. What's more, after Meng Zhong experienced the battle between the Dune Palace and Qi and Song, his aura was far from what he had when he first met with Tian Wen, Feng Xi and others. So when Feng Xi was shocked to see Meng Zhong draw his sword, he only had "bad" and "bad" thoughts, and he completely lost his usual calmness.

After all, it was because Meng Zhong left a deep impression on him when he was in Zhao State.

However, when Feng Xi saw Meng Zhong's gaze when he frequently looked at him, he quickly reacted and quickly stood up to smooth things over: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Mr. Xue didn't know that Sima Meng came with kindness this time, and thought it was... Haha, Mr. Xue?" He frequently signaled to Tian Wen with his eyes.

“…”

Tian Wen glanced at Feng Xi, then looked at Meng Zhong deeply, and then a faint smile appeared on his face: "After several years of separation, Meng Sima is still so... brave."

As he said that, he waved at the guards and signaled them to retreat.

"Mr. Xue is over-reputable."

Meng Zhong smiled slightly and took the opportunity to withdraw the sword in his hand.

Seeing this, Meng Sui, Le Yi and Rong Qi also took back the sword in their hands.

Beside him, Li Shi, the envoy of Song State, was still so scared that he couldn't even speak, and his face was pale. Even though Meng Zhong and others had already taken back the sword, Tian Wen's face also smiled again, and his heart was still full of ups and downs.

It has to be said that Li Shi had vaguely guessed that Meng Zhong and others might have had any grudges with Xue Gongtian Wen, but he never expected that the grudges between the two sides had reached the point where they drew their swords toward each other as soon as they met.

"Please sit."

A moment later, Tian Wen raised his hand to invite Li Shi, Meng Zhong and others to sit in the study room. During this period, he said to Meng Zhong lightly: "You helped Zhao Gongzizhang rebellion and seize the throne. After the failure, I saw that Zhao State did not want you. I thought you were dead in Zhao State. I never thought that you would return to Song State safely... Why, Zhao Cheng and Li Dui showed mercy to you?"

Meng Zhong replied with a smile: "Maybe it's for the sake of my righteous brother Tian Zhang."

『Tian Zhang…』

Only then did Tian Wen remember that the young man in front of him was the brother of Tian Zhang, a famous general of Qi State.

"Ha, Tian Zhang..." Tian Wen chuckled a few times and suddenly said: "I heard that last year, Tian Di sent Tian Zhang to attack the State of Song. Dao Kuang Zhang was defeated by your Song State. When Tian heard this news, he was also quite surprised... Dao Kuang Zhang was defeated by your little Song State..."

Beside, Feng Xian saw Tian Wen saying the State of Song so badly, and quickly interrupted and said, "When will Meng Sima return to the State of Song? Could it be that you were already in the State of Song at that time? That is why Kuang Zhang was frustrated in the State of Song?"

"Mr. Xue and Mr. Feng misunderstood." Meng Zhong smiled and said, "In that battle last year, Qi and Song just tied. In the final analysis, Qi was just a miscalculation of the strength of our Song Dynasty. Even if my brother Tian Zhang was forced to destroy our Song Dynasty with just 150,000 troops... As for my brother Tian Zhang, I did encounter it on the battlefield, but he was not my brother's opponent at all."

Feng Xi smiled and said, "Meng Sima is too humble... Others don't know about Meng Sima's ability, but Xue Gong and his subordinates are very clear. In terms of military training, the Xinwei Army trained by Meng Sima was once known as Zhao Wushu, and was not inferior to Wei Wushu at all. In terms of marching and fighting, Meng Sima and Pang Qing were the two powerful generals under Zhao Zhufu and Prince Zhang, who were like Zhao's father, Yang Wenjun (Zhao Bao), Zhao Ben, Li Ji, Lian Po and others, were not opponents of Meng Sima at all. If it weren't for Niu Jian, the situation in Zhao State would probably not be like this at the moment."

“…”

Meng Zhong looked at Feng Xi in surprise, but unexpectedly, Feng Xi also knew about Zhao General Niu Jian.

Seeing this, Feng Xi stroked his beard and smiled, "Duke Xue also sent people to pay attention to a powerful general like Meng Sima."

"I'm afraid I'm just thinking about how to kill me?"

After glanced at Tian Wen, Meng Zhong pretended to be surprised and said, "This is really... I never thought of it."

I have to say that with Feng Xi to smooth things over, the atmosphere in the study has really improved a lot, and it is no longer as tense as before.

Of course, the most critical reason is that Tian Wen calmed down, unlike just now, who was blinded by anger.

As they chatted, everyone talked about the incident of "Song State trying to form an alliance with Wei State to fight against Qi State". Without waiting for Tian Wen, Feng Xi and others, it was difficult to take the opportunity to seek benefits. Meng Zhong took the initiative to say: "I came to Wei State this time, and I was ordered by my Song State monarch to Xue Yi's reward to Mr. Xue..."

As he said that, he took out the bamboo tube from his arms and pulled out the gift letter.

Seeing this, Feng Xu quickly stood up and walked to Meng Zhong to accept it. Unexpectedly, Meng Zhong turned to Tian Wen and said, "Before giving this item, I have a few words in my heart to say to Xue Gong."

"...but it's okay." Tian Wen said calmly.

Meng Zhong looked at Tian Wen and said with a smile: "When I was in Zhao, I was young and energetic and offended Mr. Xue. However, now, I am in the same interests as Mr. Xue. I wonder if Mr. Xue is willing to resolve the Ganjie and fight against Qi together? Otherwise, if Mr. Xue asks me to see Mr. Xue every time, he will scare him, and he will not be able to stand it."

Tian Wen's face, which was originally a little smiling, became slightly deeper and said lightly: "If Tian refuses, will you not hand over this thing to Tian?"

"That won't be." Meng Zhong said with a smile: "This thing was given to Mr. Xue by the King of Song. It has nothing to do with what I am. How dare I use this thing as a threat?"

As he said that, in order to show his sincerity, he took the lead in handing Xue Yi's reward to Feng Xi.

Feng Xi took the reward letter and did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned around and looked at Tian Wen and signaled to the latter with his eyes.

Of course, he tended to reconcile with Tian Wen and Meng Zhong. After all, Meng Zhong himself has great skills and has connections such as Hui Ang and Tian Zhang. What's more important is that they have the same interests and interests. Why should they stick to the grudges of that year?

Compared to the Li Shi next to him, it is obvious that this young man is more suitable to be a communication link between Tian Wen and the Song Kingdom.

"……good."

With Feng Xian's frequent hinting, Tian Wen hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "Just because you brought this item in the wind and snow, Tian no longer cared about your offense."

『It's very forced...』

Although Meng Zhong felt that Tian Wen’s promise was really barely forced, he could only pretend to be happy and bow to thank him: “Thank you, Mr. Xue, for being very tolerant.”

Seeing this, Feng Xi sighed secretly.

Even Meng Zhong could see what he could not see as a staff member around Tian Wen?

But no matter what, this is also a good start. After all, Tian Wen is best to save face. As long as it is agreed by himself, he will not regret it even if he is not happy.

If it were Meng Zhong's case, Tian Wen might not have improved his relationship with Meng Zhong, but at least he would not deal with the latter on the surface. For example, as he had just happened, the guards in the mansion wanted to kill Meng Zhong.

"Mr. Xue."

Holding the gift, Feng Xian walked to Tian Wen and handed the item to the latter.

Tian Wen immediately took the gift letter, spread it on the table in front of him, and looked at it carefully.

It has to be said that Tian Wen was quite concerned about the generous gift from the State of Song. After all, Xue Yi was the family business left to him by his father Tian Ying, and his name "Mr. Xue" was also obtained from it. Therefore, he had to get Xue Yi again no matter what, otherwise his dignified Xue Gong lost his fief Xue Yi. Isn't this a joke?

"King Song is generous!"

Seeing that the reward letter clearly stated that the State of Song promised that Xue Yi would belong to Tian Wen and his descendants for generations. Tian Wen nodded with satisfaction, astonished, even a little pleasing to Meng Zhong.

After he put away the reward, he smiled and said to Li Shi: "Doctor Li, Tian has made arrangements for Doctor Li's intention to invite the king in advance, and this matter can be made tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. In addition, Jie Shi Tian will also help him and will definitely help Doctor Li persuade the king to enter into an alliance with the State of Song."

In fact, Li Shi was also very clear that during the period when he arrived in Wei, it was actually Tian Wen who blocked him many times that the King of Wei ignored him at all. But at this moment, he also had to thank Tian Wen: "Thank you, Mr. Xue... I rely on Mr. Xue in the past."

"It's easy to say."

Tian Wen laughed and immediately ordered the kitchen of the mansion to prepare wine and dishes to entertain Li Shi, Meng Zhong and others.

During the subsequent banquet, Meng Zhong also met several other followers around Tian Wen, such as Xiahou Zhang.

Xiahou Zhang looks quite rough at first glance, but in fact he is very meticulous, and his way of helping Tian Wen is the most special.

The other Tian Wen's disciples all spread good reputations for Tian Wen, but this person specifically talked about Tian Wen's bad words outside, and even made up some flaws that Tian Wen had no need to have. So many people accused Xiahou Zhang of his low moral character. He was obviously treated preferentially by Xue Gongtian Wen, but he still slandered his kind master in this way.

When someone close to Xiahou Zhang asked why he did this, he explained: I slandered Mr. Xue like this, but Mr. Xue never cared about me and still treated me well. Isn’t it a highlight of Mr. Xue’s mind? I am not willing to defile my character to repay Mr. Xue. How could you just repay Mr. Xue with good words?

I have to say that this is a very special person.

During the banquet, Xiahou Zhang privately said to Xue Gong Tian Wen: "Is that man Meng Zhong who offended Xue Gong in Zhao State? Do you want to kill him for Xue Gong?"

Tian Wen looked at Meng Zhong after hearing this.

He trusted Xiahou Zhang very much because Xiahou Zhang's personality is like Yu Rang, Zhi Boyao's disciple. Although he doesn't have any right to laugh or laugh on weekdays, he even says bad things about him from Tian Wen, but Tian Wen knows very well that as long as he has any orders, Xiahou Zhang will try his best to achieve it for him even if he gives his life.

Just like at this moment, as long as Tian Wen nodded and said "Kill this person for me", Xiahou Zhang would definitely kill Meng Zhong at all costs, even if he died with the latter.

But there is no need. After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, he and Meng Zhong are indeed allies on the same road, even though he still has deep hatred for the latter.

"This son is the brother of Song Xianghui'an. The State of Song just gave Tian a generous gift, so Tian killed Song Xiang's brother. What is this?" Tian Wen refused lightly.
