Xi Ce nodded slightly, and the servant trotted down, and after a while, a general man in armor came to the tide watching pavilion.
Looking at the frail figure sitting in the wheelchair with his back facing him, Hao Meng didn't dare to be disrespectful, and asked respectfully, "Sir, are you looking for me?"
Hao Meng is now serving as a school captain of the city gates. This is not an ordinary school captain. He is in charge of the deployment of troops at the twelve city gates of Chang'an.
Today, Hao Meng patrolled to the gate of Yongcheng in the west, and when he heard that Xi Ce was looking for him, he suspended his daily inspections and hurried to Xi Ce's mansion.
"General Hao, I haven't seen you for some time, I miss you a lot. I wanted to visit you in person, but you also know that I have bad legs, so I can only trouble General Hao to condescend to come here."
Xie Ce said with a smile, chatting like old friends.
"Sir, you are serious. I am really sorry that the last general will visit you for a long time."
Hao Meng said apologetically, the situation has been unstable recently, in order to prevent enemy spies from infiltrating Chang'an, he had to strictly check each one.
"Mr. is summoned today, is there any task for the general?" Hao Meng asked tentatively.
"There are so many tasks, I just want to catch up with the general." There was a burst of friendly laughter in front of him, and the joker in the wheelchair still didn't turn around, and didn't even look back.
However, the more the drama said this, the more uncertain Hao Meng felt.
What kind of person Xi Ce is, Hao Meng dare not say very clearly, at least he can get a rough idea of it.
He will definitely not summon himself for no reason, let alone waste in the so-called 'reminiscing about the past'.
Is it to say...
A bad premonition welled up in Hao Meng's heart.
"General Hao, how are you doing these days?" Xie Cezhen chatted like reminiscing about the old days.
"Mr. Lao is thinking about it, and everything will be fine in the end."
"Have you followed the general for some time?"
"Mr. Hui, it's been 17 years."
Hao Meng replied pretending to be calm, but she felt guilty like a guilty conscience.
The more the play was like this, the more uneasy he became. This feeling of hanging his heart in mid-air made him tremble twice every time he said a word, which was very uncomfortable.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
17 years!
Xi Ce sighed with emotion, and in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed.
"These years, you should be very wronged in your heart, right?"
Xi Ce stopped feeding, put the small wooden bucket containing fish food next to the wheelchair, looked at the artificially dug lake, and admired the wonderful spring scenery in front of him.
Hao Meng followed Lu Bu very early, and in terms of qualifications and seniority, he is only second to Cao Xing, Song Xian and other old brothers. Even Gao Shun, who is highly valued by Lu Bu now, is much later than him.
However, such an old subordinate has not been reused by Lu Bu all these years, and even when he goes out to fight for thieves, he is rarely accompanied by him.
Hao Meng knew in his heart that compared to Hou Cheng and Guan Hai's bandit background, his background was even more disgraceful. He killed his master and defected, and he was stabbed in the back.
In Lu Bu's words, if you can rebel against the Lord today, you may not be able to rebel against me in the future.
So these years, even though Hao Meng did his best to guard the city gate and transport supplies, he has always worked hard without any complaints.The reason is to hope that my lord can see the efforts he has made, so as to change his view of himself.
But later, Hao Meng was disappointed.
No matter how well he did, Lu Bu still had no plans to arrange for him to travel with the army.
All the other generals fought hard to win meritorious deeds on the battlefield. Only he, from guarding one city gate at the beginning, has become a guard of twelve city gates around Chang'an.
He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of dying here in obscurity.
"The general is a person who cares about friendship. After following General Hao for so many years, even if there is no credit, there is still some hard work. As long as you can bear your temper, it will be a matter of time before you become a marquis."
Xie Ce said indifferently, and began to beat lightly: "Among so many generals, you are the most inconspicuous one. It's not that you don't have skills, but that you never show off, and you have always kept your heart in check. He seems to be a low-key person, but in fact, he has his own plans for everything he does."
Hao Meng listened silently, not daring to answer at all.
He glanced at the back not far in front of his eyes, and his heart was agitated. This gentleman is so accurate in judging people!
Afterwards, Xie Ce said again: "The general asked you to guard the city gate for more than ten years. You feel uncomfortable and occasionally complain. This is normal."
Hao Meng clasped her fists quickly, and replied decisively: "The last general dare not!"
"General Hao, don't be nervous. If it were me, I would definitely have some criticisms. But, General Hao, don't go into a dead end because of this. If you still think about killing the master and betraying the same as before, then you deserve to be punished." It's struck by lightning." Xi Ce said with a flattering smile.
The play strategy seemed to be joking, but the expression on Hao Meng's face became extremely stiff in an instant, and it was more like a storm in his heart.
He is very sure that Xi Ce's words are definitely not groundless, they definitely mean something!
Things have to go back many days.
On that day, after Hao Meng visited the city gate, he ran into Zhongsan doctor Wang Yong in the market.
Wang Yong is a member of the powerful royal family in Guanzhong, he is also a partisan of Xu Jiu's gang, and he belongs to the firm imperial power party.
It stands to reason that he has no contact with Hao Meng, who is under Lu Bu's command, but also has a politically hostile relationship.
But that day Wang Yong was extraordinarily kind, not only invited Hao Meng to drink in a certain wine shop in the market, but also boasted and praised him a lot.
Hao Meng was upset at the time and couldn't stand Wang Yong's hospitality, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling face, so she agreed.
At the wine table, Wang Yong looked for opportunities from time to time to elevate Hao Meng's role and status under Lu Bu's command, and at the same time, he also took the opportunity to add fuel to the flames and create a wedge between them.
After a few glasses of strong wine, Hao Meng started talking drunkenly, talking about his grievances, he was very unwilling to be a city gate general after following the lord for so many years.
Wang Yong proposed without any trace, inviting Hao Meng to join their team, promising to have a lot to do.
Of course, this matter is only carried out in secret, and will never be known to outsiders.
Although Hao Meng was dizzy at the time, but fortunately his consciousness was still relatively clear, so he didn't agree immediately.
Later, Wang Yong met Hao Meng in the downtown area from time to time, and the relationship between the two gradually increased.
As long as the city gate is under control, and a rebellion is launched at that time, even a bird will not even think about flying out.
Later, Hao Meng would dress up in disguise and go to Wang Yong's house to discuss matters.
Fortunately, he still thought that the clothes were flawless, and now listening to the meaning of Xi Ce's words, [-]% of them were discovered by him.
Hao Meng didn't speak for a long time, so he asked with a smile about the matter just now: "General Hao, what do you think?"
