Chapter 30: The Royal Family Has No Family Affection
"Who is he and why does he look like this?"
"Oh, it doesn't matter if you don't know him. You can call him Kame Sennin,"
"xxxx, Turtle Immortal,"
The above conversation is from a conversation between a man and four women. The man was surrounded by four women at a table. Of course, next to the man, there was the dark and thin old man, who was leisurely pinching his He has a lot of gray beard and seems to be pretending to be serious. He is obviously an old and ugly old man, but he pretends to be a fairy. He looks quite lustful and vulgar, so he attracted four people. The woman asked a man at the same time who this lecherous old man was, and the looks the four women looked at the dark and ugly old man were definitely not kind.
The man didn't know how to answer, so he made up a name that fit the old man's identity and then glared at the Turtle Immortal next to him, asking him not to be too wretched. Why did he become such a virtuous person after he came out of the palace that day? Sure enough, the lust is still young.
The man said that he had not eaten for two days, and asked the four women to prepare some food for him, and also prepare some for Kame Sennin. The man's pretending to be hungry was very appropriate, but the four women looked at me. I looked at you, and then asked in unison that the man must give a complete account of where he has been in the past two days. The man has no choice. After all, people are iron, and rice is steel. If you don’t eat one meal, you will be hungry, so even if you look at me with contempt, Kame Sennin I have never seen a man so resigned. He still lowered his head and was completely confessed.
The man told how he was inexplicably fainted and then came to a dark tunnel. He met this turtle fairy who made a living by touching gold. The two accidentally bumped into each other and discovered some important clues. After talking about this, the man did not go down. He said it, because the four women in front of him looked disbelieving, and he felt that it was a waste of words to say too much.
Humph, since I don’t believe it, I have nothing to explain.
Unexpectedly, the man thought that his words were dishonest in front of these women who had grown up. But today, he didn’t know whether it was because the tempers of women all over the world had become gentler, or because he was blessed by God and finally did not feel sorry for himself. Four women They actually brought food to the man and the turtle immortal in tandem.
After the two of them devoured a meal without any image, the man touched his round belly and remarked that it was good to be alive. The Kame Sento was critical and said that the food was not to his liking, but he was rejected by the four women. He rushed and said: "It's good to eat some, but you are still picky. The world is not peaceful. I'll starve you to death and there will be no one to collect the body."
Seeing Guixianren's deflated look, the man laughed loudly: "That's a good scolding,"
Turtle Immortal was very magnanimous: "Meng Xinghe, if you continue to gloat about others' misfortune, be careful that I tell you everything you said to me in the tunnel."
The man with the meat in his mouth, Meng Xinghe, who had just come out of the Heavenly Palace, stopped talking. He glared at Turtle Immortal, and then touched his mouth: "You have been here for the past two days since I left. Here, Li Chengqian has put you under house arrest." I believe that in addition to placing Miss Du and Princess Jindao under house arrest, Li Chengqian is not that capable of Shi Luoshen and Concubine Yuxiang, so Meng Xinghe guessed that these four people should be under house arrest. Wait for me here.
"Thank you for having the nerve to say that you disappeared without a word for two days. Li Chengqian has personally led people to search for places within a fifty-mile radius of Lishan Town. If you don't come back, he will send Linlang and me to Chang'an tonight. "Go," the speaker was Miss Du. Ever since she was detained by Li Chengqian, she had cooperated tacitly without showing her unyielding side. I couldn't figure out why this always disobedient woman was so obedient. She must be willing to be punished for someone. .
Unlike Master Du who waited silently, the grassland woman named Linlang was fierce and unruly. Seeing Meng Xinghe appear just now, she could no longer control her anger and said sarcastically: "Did you sneak away and then worry about your conscience?" If you feel sorry for yourself, you will come back again. Men like you are not worthy of my golden sword. You have no masculinity at all."
Let her speak sarcastically, Master Meng calmly ate the food on the table. How could he, Meng Xinghe, not understand what Miss Du was thinking? After all, they both had been to Lingnan, and they could see through each other's thoughts at a glance. That she-wolf from the prairie spoke like a male slave, which really made Mr. Meng anxious. He cooked the raw rice and then threw it away. This was his most vicious idea.
Little girl, don't mess with the uncle. The uncle is worried, and Mr. Meng doesn't even look at that prairie woman.
"Li Chengqian is here." Among the four girls, Shi Luoshen was the first to see Li Chengqian in front of the door, who looked panicked and jumped down from his horse in a hurry. Regardless of the thick snowflakes on his body, he took three steps into two steps, as if he was rolling in.
"Meng, Meng, Lord Meng, you finally showed up." Just now, one of his men went to report to Li Chengqian that Meng Xinghe had returned to Lishan Residence. This news made the already frustrated Li Chengqian's blood boil instantly. No, hurry up. After rushing back from outside the town, before he could take a breath, he looked for Meng Xinghe's shadow when he entered the door. When he found Meng Xinghe there, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Chengqian came to Meng Xinghe, sat down, and immediately saw the dark and ugly old man.
"This old man is," Li Chengqian, the person next to Meng Xinghe, showed a bit of respect.
"Oh, haha, Guixianren," Meng Xinghe still announced Uncle Fu's name. He felt that calling him Guixianren sounded much better than Xu Fu.
Hearing that he was an immortal, Li Chengqian immediately respectfully called him: "Old Turtle,"
Fu Bo's face twitched, he didn't like this title very much.
Li Chengqian changed the topic and said: "Mr. Meng, let's take a step to talk." You disappeared for two days and have no idea what is happening now. Li Chengqian is already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He has no time to sit here and chat. If we continue talking, I'm afraid the crown prince position will be lost.
"Oh, that's okay," Meng Xinghe also gave Li Chengqian a convenience. After all, he now has another task, which is to change history.
Li Chengqian was overjoyed, and his attitude toward the people at the table had improved a lot. Yesterday, his face would have been uglier than his dead mother.
"It's so fickle that such a person can be a prince. It can only be said that he is lucky to be in the royal family and the eldest son. Otherwise, even an ordinary wealthy family would not let such a person inherit the family property," the speaker was always Shi Luoshen, who had great conflicts with the people of the Li Tang Dynasty, if we were to say who was most willing to see the Tang Dynasty perish, then Shi Luoshen would be ranked first.
"Oh, you Central Plains people follow the teachings of Confucius and Mencius and respect the elders. In our grassland, it is the world of the strong. Whoever is stronger can have more women, money, and land. Don't you think so? "I'm old and immortal." The one who added was the Golden Knife Princess named Linlang. She even did not hesitate to use the Turtle Immortal to prove her attitude. She was indeed a good person. There was nothing she could do about it. In that country of tigers and wolves, women and men were the same. , all hope to achieve equality through strength.
Kame Sennin twitched his mouth. He shouldn't be sitting among a group of women. Although he had not been to this time for hundreds of years, after all, he didn't like women who were smart, powerful, and tricky to talk to be together.
Li Chengqian took Meng Xinghe to a wing upstairs. When Meng Xinghe stepped through the door and his butt had not landed on the bench, Li Chengqian immediately closed the door in a panic.
"Mr. Meng, something big happened,"
"Why, Li Shimin ascended to heaven," Meng Xinghe thought in his heart. It would be better this way, as he wouldn't have to change history. "The prince should explain it clearly."
"Prince, haha, I'm afraid you are the only one in the world who can call me Prince." Li Chengqian looked a little sad, as if he had been greatly stimulated. However, as the old saying goes, the greater the stimulation, the greater the motivation. Maybe he was irritating Li Chengqian by irritating him. He gritted his teeth and said, "That old man Du Ruhui actually united all the ministers to write a letter to impeach me as the crown prince. Now, my father has been in Liangyi Palace for two years." If there is no early morning, I'm afraid they are considering deposing me as the crown prince."
"It turns out that Li Chengqian was deposed as the crown prince." It seemed right. Meng Xinghe vaguely remembered that Li Chengqian was deposed as the crown prince in the 16th year of Zhenguan in history. "Prince, I think about this, I am also responsible. When you went to Jiangnan, I was the one who interfered with the annihilation of the Taiping Religion and missed your important task. I didn’t think about it, so I felt guilty. Now that you are treating me like this, I feel even more sorry. So, I want to tell you something."
Meng Xinghe's voice became much lower. If his ladies were here, they would definitely show some disdain for his superb acting skills. However, perhaps Meng Xinghe is good at observing and knows that Li Chengqian doesn't have much on his hands now. He could bring out the capital to fight, so he didn't notice his acting, but couldn't wait to believe it, saying: "If Mr. Meng tells this, it will prove that the misunderstandings between you and me have disappeared. I, Li Chengqian, promise you that if someday When I ascend the throne, I will appoint you as the Protector of our country."
How big of an official is the Protector? Meng Xinghe thought about it in his head, but he didn't know how much his salary was.
"Your Highness, don't panic. In fact, two days after I disappeared, I was inadvertently taken to the Taiping Sect's Heavenly Palace. Presumably, the person who took me there was an older senior in my Taiping Sect. He knew that I needed to be found urgently now. Only the Heavenly Palace will show up to help, maybe His Highness is the right one, and God is secretly blessing him," Meng Xinghe broke in his heart. His grandma's lies are becoming more and more smooth. No wonder the little baby Mengdie often She said she wanted to seal my mouth because she was afraid that my mouth would charm those women to death.
If Meng Xinghe's sudden return to Lishan Residence was great news, then hearing him say that he had found the legendary lost Heavenly Palace was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. Moreover, Li Chengqian had no doubts about Meng Xinghe's words. Come to think of it, Also, Meng Xinghe is the Holy King of the Taiping Sect, and everyone in the Taiping Sect listens to him, so there might be someone helping him secretly.
"Well, since Duke Meng Guo has already been to the Heavenly Palace, I believe that what the prince wants must have been in his hands." Li Chengqian seemed to feel that he could show off his power again. With the elixir of life in his hand, how could he not be happy?
Of course, Meng Xinghe couldn't suppress Li Chengqian's happiness at this moment, and immediately took out the white jade bottle from his arms: "This is the bottle. If the prince doesn't believe it, you can find someone to try it, but the weight of the medicine may be reduced, and the effect will be lost. ,"
"No need, I believe in Duke Meng," Li Chengqian smiled and took the elixir of life into his arms.
Meng Xinghe didn't know whether Li Chengqian would give the elixir to Li Shimin or drink it himself, so he kept an eye on it and asked: "Your Highness, are you going to dedicate this elixir to a saint?" Meng Xinghe boldly guessed that maybe Li Chengqian urgently needed the elixir. Medicine, I'm afraid I have to make a fuss here.
Li Chengqian thought that Meng Xinghe had given him something as precious as the elixir, and he was not wary of him. If he ascended the throne as emperor, let alone a prince, he would have to give up half of his country.
"Mr. Meng, please come closer. I have something to say to you," Li Chengqian called Meng Xinghe over. Obviously, what he wants to say now is why Li Chengqian wants to do so many important things that foreshadow the elixir of life. It's just an introduction for him.
Meng Xinghe walked in cooperatively, raised his ears, and was only a few feet away from Li Chengqian.
"What I want to do is xxxxx," after Li Chengqian finished speaking, a hint of a successful sneer appeared on his lips.
Meng Xinghe only felt horrified. He subconsciously glanced at Li Chengqian's appearance and heard a futile sentence in his heart.
Sure enough, the royal family has never had any family ties.
