On the second day, the sky was dim and the morning breeze was strong. On the official road to the east capital, a black horse and a man in green sat on it. He looked in a hurry and almost drove away at a high speed. Meng Xinghe on the horse knew that From Jiangdu to Dongdu, if you are in a hurry, it is much faster to take the dry road than the waterway. Fortunately, the black wind horse power brought by your hip from Chang'an is very durable. In less than a day, he has reached the territory of Dongdu. However, Meng Xinghe did not dare to stop for even a moment. He only drank a cup of crude tea in a tea shed on the roadside and then hurriedly set off on the road.
He went straight to Yunmengzhai, because that was the home of the remnants of the Demon Sect of the Taiping Sect. The maid guarding the gate recognized the sultry-faced Meng Xinghe as the husband of Miss Mengdie, and immediately opened the door to greet her. Meng Xinghe had no time to linger, so to make a long story short, : "Is your Palace Master here? Please send a message that I, Meng Xinghe, have something urgent to do with him."
The maid said truthfully: "The palace master has gone out, and now Miss Hongdou is in charge of all matters in the house." As she spoke, a woman wearing a red short skirt and a silver-white scimitar hanging from her waist came after hearing the news. The student was naughty. When she came, she was humming, and she was obviously happy. But when she saw the dusty Meng Xinghe in front of the door, her face changed like the weather in June. She rolled her eyes and didn't give him anything. With a good face, he said: "Master and senior sister are not here, why are you here? You are not welcome here."
It turned out to be Little Junior Sister Hongdou. After not seeing each other for a few months, she became more and more slender and mature. Meng Xinghe today was surprisingly strange. He didn’t quarrel with Little Junior Sister Hongdou at all. When the two of them met back, they had to fight with red faces before they gave up. Meng Xinghe, Said: "I know your master and Mengdie are not here, otherwise, how could they let me bring things back to Yunmengzhai?" Meng Xinghe stretched out his hand to touch his arms, thinking, his method of throwing stones to ask for directions, with the little junior sister's I'm afraid I'll be fooled and accidentally tell where Master's sister is.
Sure enough, the extremely smart little junior sister Hongdou seemed to be very happy to grab Meng Xinghe's pigtail, and hummed: "Who are you bluffing? Master told me when he went to Jiangdu half a month ago that he would not come back until the big thing was accomplished. You can't even try to trick me into letting you go in and do whatever you want, I'm not a fool."
The junior sister spoke righteously and spoke harshly with a cold face. Originally, she thought that with Meng Xinghe's temper, if she teased him today, he would be so angry that smoke would come out of his nose. That was exactly what she liked to see.
Who knows, Meng Xinghe chuckled: "Thank you, little junior sister. Brother-in-law, take your leave first and clean Yunmengzhai for your master. Maybe you and your senior sister will be back soon," Meng Xinghe did not feel like running away for nothing. He was frustrated after traveling to Dongdu. It seemed that what happened in Jiangdu was indeed a secret operation by Yunmengzhai. If he hadn't heard that Mengdie's master had gone to Dongdu earlier today, Meng Xinghe would have guessed that the Taihu thieves were involved in the chaos. After all, it is very common to make trouble and frame Yunmengzhai. It is nothing more than framing others and making profits from it.
Junior sister Hongdou felt that Meng Xinghe's words today were strange, but after hearing what he said before leaving, she felt a little more worried about her master and senior sister. Originally, it was boring for her to guard Yunmengzhai alone, but when she saw Meng Xinghe When she was about to leave, she immediately followed him like a bastard and said, "I know you are going to Jiangdu, so take me with you. Otherwise, I will tell my senior sister that you molested me."
Meng Xinghe took Heifeng in hand and was about to return to Jiangdu. He turned around and looked Hongdou up and down: "Go ahead and sue me. Think I'm scared."
Junior Sister Hongdou was anxious. She knew that Meng Xinghe was a soft-spoken guy, so she ignored her conscience and said, "Brother-in-law, just take me with you. It's really boring to leave me alone in Yunmengzhai."
Meng Xinghe's scalp went numb when he heard this. He asked the little goblin to call him "brother-in-law" and his bones became numb.
"Get on, get on the horse," Meng Xinghe got on the horse and said impatiently: "You are just a burden."
Hongdou smiled and jumped on the horse. While Meng Xinghe was riding the horse, he stuck out his tongue in disgust. Holding the scimitar in his little hand, he secretly said: "I won't show you a good look until I get to Jiangdu."
Meng Xinghe had extremely good ears, so he just smiled knowingly, "drive!" he shouted suddenly, and the black wind shot out like an arrow. Little Junior Sister Hongdou was so shocked that she quickly hugged his waist.
They were galloping all the way again. Since they were carrying more people, Meng Xinghe did not dare to work hard. He walked for two more days. When he arrived at the Jiangdu government office, Meng Xinghe stopped his horse and landed. Two guards ran up in front of the government office. , first knelt down politely, and then said: "Master Lu asked the two of us to wait here for you, and told you that as soon as you arrive at the government office, you must be quickly invited to the outside of Jiangdu City to welcome the army sent by the imperial court."
It seemed that the people in the imperial court moved very quickly. In just a few days, all the troops and horses had gone south to Jiangdu. He asked two guards to bring Heifeng into the palace, and then said to the little junior sister Hongdou beside him: "I have to leave the city. To welcome the imperial army, you stay here for a while, and when I come back, I will take you to your senior sister's home."
Hongdou pouted: "I won't stay here. I want to go out of the city with you. You are my brother-in-law. If you bring me here, you should take care of me."
Meng Xinghe was not afraid of anything, except when he heard Hongdou's voice like "brother-in-law", it was as if he felt an order that he must obey. He compromised and said, "Okay, just follow me."
Little Junior Sister Hongdou didn't say thank you. Meng Xinghe changed to another horse brought by the guards. Heifeng ran too far and should let it rest. He didn't even have time to take a breath and immediately headed to the city. Run outside.
At this time, Little Junior Sister Hongdou, who was sitting on his back, saw Meng Xinghe running back and forth to the Eastern Capital, and now he had to rush outside the city to meet some imperial army. She really didn’t know if he was a tough person, and she suddenly felt a little faint in her heart. Touched, he asked in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, aren't you tired?"
It was rare to hear Little Junior Sister Hongdou call him brother-in-law. Meng Xinghe smiled and said: "Tired, no matter how tired I am, being a man is quite tiring."
The innocent little junior sister couldn't hear what he meant, she pouted her lips and snorted coldly: "You deserve to be exhausted," then she stretched out her hands to embrace Meng Xinghe's waist with joy, closed her eyes and rested, she had never done that before. I discovered, and only now do I know, that Meng Xinghe's back, not to mention, was quite warm, so much so that the autumn wind outside didn't make it cold.
After leaving Jiangdu City, it didn't take long for Meng Xinghe to arrive at the place where the old man greeted the imperial army. He saw white tents and cooking smoke rising from a distance. It seemed that the army had set up camp here. Meng Xinghe galloped up and rode on horseback. He rushed outside the army tent, wondering who would lead the troops south this time. While he was in a daze, soldiers holding two iron halberds stopped his horse to prevent them from charging in.
The road ahead was blocked. Meng Xinghe wanted to report his name, but he saw a woman in the military camp carefully grooming a green horse. He just shouted: "Master Wu, why is it you?" Meng Xinghe suddenly faced Lu is happy, now you don’t have to be turned away.
Wu Meiniang, who was half-rolling her sleeves, turned her head and saw Lord Meng in front of the military camp. She immediately put down the gourd in her hand: "It turns out to be Lord Meng. Why don't you ask me to come in quickly?" Wu Meiniang had already come to Meng Xinghe and bowed to her: "Little girl, please pay homage to your lord,"
Meng Xinghe almost fell off his horse: "You don't have to be polite, military advisor, I'm going in right away. Oh, by the way, Mr. Lu is here," Meng Xinghe secretly wiped his sweat and said, "Good boy, the future empress will salute me." This is too much deserved.
"Here," Wu Meiniang has already led Meng Xinghe's horse.
The younger junior sister couldn't stand the sight of women appearing wherever Meng Xinghe went. She grinned and scolded Meng Xinghe for being a playboy. Then she walked in front silently, kicking stones on the ground as she walked. Meng Xinghe asked Wu Jun to say goodbye. Mind you, the kid is inevitably a little naughty. Military Master Wu was not angry at all. On the contrary, he admired the little junior sister’s character and dared to speak and act. However, she did not ask about the little junior sister’s identity. She just led Meng Xinghe into the big tent. He doesn't have the arrogance of a king, probably it hasn't been exposed yet.
