After dawn, Hui Ang first ordered the mansion to prepare breakfast, and then he and Meng Zhong had dinner in the side hall of the inner courtyard.

I didn't think it was yesterday afternoon, but I followed Hui'an to the inner courtyard of the mansion last night. Meng Zhong realized how deep and big the mansion was. It is conceivable that this brother's weight in Song Wangyan's heart.

"A Zhong, you will live in Brother Wei's mansion in the past two days. Stay there for a few days. Let me arrange it for you."

While having meals, Hui Ang said to Meng Zhong with a smile.

Meng Zhong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he understood what Hui'an meant. He politely refused: "Brother, I will return to the army today."

"Hey? You're not..."

Hui'an couldn't make a turn.

His original intention was to arrange some care for this younger brother, after all, this was also what Master Zhuang meant.

Master Zhuang wrote it very clearly on the bamboo slip: This is my disciple of Zhuang Zhou, you can do it yourself.

With Hui'an's Zhirui and his 20-year-old official position with Song Wangyan, how could he not even see this hint? Obviously, does Mr. Zhuang want him to take care of Meng Zhong, the younger generation?

Seeing Hui'an's face showing surprise, Meng Zhong also understood that the brother must have misunderstood, so he explained with a smile: "I am serving in the army this time to see the battlefield my brother Meng Bo experienced during his lifetime, and to see what Teng Hu looks like, not to become an official... If I accept my brother's kindness, I'm afraid I will be expelled from the sect by my master after I go back."

As he said that, he explained the murder of his brother Meng Bo by Teng Hu.

"I am sorry for your loss."

Hui Ann's face was a little sad and comforted, and suddenly realized it.

I remember that he had wondered before, why did Master Zhuang ask his disciple to come to Pengcheng, and wrote a letter to him to take care of him, but he didn't expect that there was such an inside story.

At the same time, Hui Ann also realized that Master Zhuang’s original intention might just want his disciple Meng Zhong to personally experience the cruelty of the “fight for those who lose their way”, which is the so-called tempering.

The "care" that Master Zhuang hinted was probably because he hoped that he would properly protect this brother.

However, considering that the sword was blind on the battlefield, Hui'an couldn't help but persuade: "A Zhong, the danger on the battlefield is unknown. You are a disciple of your master and have inherited the knowledge of my uncle Huizi. I really can't bear to you for your brother... If you want to avenge your brother, you can help you."

Meng Zhong shook his head and politely refused.

After all, his purpose was not to kill Teng Hu, but to resent his resentment towards Teng Hu. He believed that after seeing Teng Hu, his heart would tell him the result.

As they were talking, suddenly a servant from the mansion came in to report: "Master, the king invites the master to enter the palace."

"Well, I know."

Unlike the kindness and kindness he was when he talked to Meng Zhong, Hui Ann nodded slightly and said with a dignity.

Seeing this scene, Meng Zhong couldn't help but sigh: If it weren't for Zhuangzi and Huizi's relationship, it would be not easy to see Hui'an as a child of the Meng family.

Just when Meng Zhong was secretly sighing, Hui Ang looked at him, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly asked, "A Zhong, do you want to see the monarch of my Song State?"

Meng Zhong asked strangely after hearing this, "The monarch asked my brother to discuss major issues. Isn't it appropriate for me to go with me?"

"It's not a big deal," Hui Ann shook his head and said lightly: "It's just a way to discuss the way to treat Qi.... The monarch and ministers of Qi are not fools, so how can they not see the intentions of Zhao and Song? As you said, our Song attack on Teng has actually posed a threat to Qi. But so far, Qi has only supported Teng behind his back and has not openly broken up with our Song Dynasty. He has even sent envoys to try to win over our country."

After Hui Ang's story, Meng Zhong realized that the Song State is now a key point between the "Qin and Zhao" forces and the "Qi" forces, that is, the Song State can not only help Qin and Zhao threaten Qi, but also in turn help Qi to threaten Zhao State.

If Qi can convince Song to turn against each other, then Qi can stop the "Zhao attacks Zhongshan" without any worries, making Zhongshan the country always the fish bone that Zhao State is like a thorn in its throat.

This is also the reason why the State of Song has attacked Teng for more than two years, and Qi has not directly sent troops to attack Song, but has just secretly supported Teng.

This made Meng Zhong feel a little puzzled: Isn’t his Song State a medium-sized country?

In response, Hui Ann explained with a smile: "My Song State is not strong, but it is not weak either."

In fact, the Song State is really not weak. You should know that twenty years ago, under the operation of Zhao Wang Yong, who had succeeded to the throne, the situation of "Zhao, Han and Song" confronting the "Qin, Wei and Qi" three countries, which made Qin, Wei and Qi not dare to act rashly, and finally gave up the idea of ​​"dividing Zhao State". From this, it can be seen that Song State is actually not as weak as Meng Zhong thought. Even if it is not as weak as Qin and Qi, it is much stronger than Wei, Lu and Yan State.

At Hui'an's instigation, Meng Zhongsui followed the elder brother and got on the carriage to the palace.

After all, he was also curious about the Song Wangyan and wanted to see the monarch of his Song State with his own eyes.

The palace in Pengcheng City is very majestic. Hui Ang took Meng Zhong and got off the carriage at the palace gate and walked towards the palace together.

At this time, Hui Ang's status in Pengcheng and around Song Wangyan can be reflected. Logically speaking, if Meng Zhong, who is completely unfamiliar with entering the palace, at least he has to interrogate it. However, because Hui Ang is next to him, the guards of the palace gate ignored Meng Zhong and just asked Meng Zhong to hand over the sword on his waist, even omitting his body search.

It can be seen from this that Hui Ann was indeed deeply trusted by Wang Yan of Song.

After entering the palace gate, Hui Ang took Meng Zhong and walked slowly into the depths of the palace under the guidance of a team of guards.

During this period, Meng Zhong looked around and saw countless jade towers and pavilions in the palace, and a few strange expressions appeared on his face.

As if he had guessed his thoughts, Hui Ann explained with a smile: "These palaces were not built by the king, but by "Pigong".

The Pi Gong he mentioned, namely the former monarch of the Song State, Song Pi Gong, was confused and debauchery. During his reign, he built a large-scale construction of palaces many times, and was then seized by Song Wang Yan's brother, Wang Yan, and his throne was seized.

Meng Zhong was relieved only then.

Soon, Hui Ang and Meng Zhong arrived at a schoolyard in the palace.

I saw that the schoolyard was paved with blue bricks, neatly and orderly, and there were two types of flags erected around it. One was the "Song" flag with apricot color as the base and white as the character, and the other was the "Song" flag with a white as the base and gold as the character.

Another team of powerful guards of Kong Wu stood in a halberd, neatly, which made Meng Zhong mistakenly think that he had come to the barracks of the royal army, rather than being in the palace.

Seeing Meng Zhong's face showing surprise, Hui Ann explained with a smile: "The king has advocated courage since he was a child, even though he is now close to fifty years old..."

As soon as he said this, he didn't know what he saw, but suddenly the voice stopped abruptly and his face frowned.

Following his eyes, Meng Zhongbing saw a man holding a bow and arrow standing on the school ground. He saw the man wearing apricot and gold robe, rolling up his sleeves and pulling his bow to aim ahead.

I think it was his monarch of Song State, Wang Yan of Song.

About ten feet in front of Song Wangyan, several guards were holding a long bamboo pole, and there was something hanging on it. Meng Zhong couldn't see clearly what it was. Seeing Hui Ang frowning and walking forward quickly, he hurriedly followed him.

At this moment, a sound of bowstrings sounded, and on the long bamboo pole held by the guards in the distance, something that was unknown suddenly exploded, as if some liquid was splashing.

"Hahahaha." Song Wangyan, holding a jade bow, burst into laughter when he saw this, and the group of people standing behind him also praised and praised him.

"Master!"

Hui Ann walked over with a calm face.

Hearing the sound, Song Wangyan turned around and saw that it was Hui'an. He handed the jade bow in his hand to the servant beside him, pointing to the distance and asking with a smile: "Hui'an, come here quickly, have you seen the scene just now? Ha! Are you brave and brave?"

Before Hui'an could speak, there was a man around Song Wangyan who was about forty or fifty years old and praised with a smile: "The King of Song is not as brave as before."

Hui Ang walked forward, glanced at the man who spoke up to compliment Song Wangyan, and then bowed to Song Wangyan and said, "Master, I beg you not to do this again in the future."

After hearing this, Wang Yan of Song said unhappily: "Are they the Confucians who are gossiping again?"

"No." Hui Ang said with a serious look: "This ritual of 'Shooting the Sky' originated from Wu Yi, the king of the Shang Dynasty. Wu Yi was tyrannical, not a wise ruler. How could the king follow him?"

"Hui'en, don't listen to the world's nonsense. What do they know?"

Wang Yan of Song said unhappily: "There are also those Confucians who are still saying "Heavenly granted Zhou the Emperor as the Emperor", which is the destiny of heaven... It's simply nonsense!"

During this period, Meng Zhong secretly looked at the monarch of the Song State in front of him. According to his observation, Song Wang Yan was about forty or fifty years old, his hair and beard were slightly white, but his face was very good, his physique was strong, and Kong Wu was powerful. Rather than being a monarch, it was actually more in line with the image of a general who led troops to fight.

"King..."

Hui'an wanted to persuade him again, but saw Song Wangyan waved his hand and interrupted, "Okay, okay, you guy is just disappointing."

After saying that, he glanced at Meng Zhong, who was following Hui'an, and then asked casually: "Hui'an, who is this kid?"

Seeing this, Hui Ang could only temporarily give up his mind to persuade the monarch, change his emotions, and introduce Meng Zhongdao: "This is my brother."

"Your brother?"

Song Wangyan was stunned for a moment and asked incredible expression: "Didn't your father die in his early years? Where did you have your younger brother?"

At this time, Hui'an explained with a smile: "This son is the disciple of Master Zhuang, Meng Zhong! Moreover, Master Zhuang also taught this son's famous scholars on behalf of my uncle Huishi, so this son is considered my brother in terms of emotion and reason."

"Master Zhuang?" The middle-aged man who had just praised Song Wangyan asked in surprise, looking up and down at Meng Zhong.

Seeing this, Hui Ann introduced to Meng Zhong: "A Zhong, this is my prime minister of Song State and Doctor Qiu He."

"Oh, it turns out that he is the Zhao man who replaced Brother Hui'an as Song Xiang."

With a clear understanding in his heart, Meng Zhong bowed to Qiu He: "You have met Doctor Qiu."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a scolding from Song Wangyan from behind him.

"Okay, are you the disciple of that old man Zhuang Zhou?...Because you are a disciple of Zhuang Zhou, you dare to appear in front of me?!"
