The Old Lady is Not Cute, Super Fierce

"You are lucky to have such a big favor from the giant whale, but it will be of great help to you in the future." Shen Wanjin said: "Although those martial arts sects are powerful, they are mostly practicing behind closed doors. It's more like some schools, even if they do run some shops, but not many, on the contrary, this giant whale gang is more like a chamber of commerce, which will help you more."

"Daddy thinks this giant whale gang can help me in the future?"

"You have to understand that in order to do business, the Giant Whale Gang has to establish sub-rudders in many places. Although they mainly rely on water sources, there are also many sub-rudders in this inland area. They transmit information, collect materials, monitor some people, etc. They all You can do it, and you have such a good relationship with the Giant Whale Gang, so it will naturally be a great help in the future."

Shen Wanjin said here, and said: "However, when dealing with the Giant Whale Gang, he is more like a businessman than a person in the rivers and lakes. When talking about business, don't always use favors to suppress him. In this way, He will naturally give you some preferential treatment because of favors, and this kind of benefit will be more long-term."

Shen Mengyan nodded.

"However, you are amazing, and you have already gained a lot of fame in the world. If I go out in the future, people will no longer say 'the president of the Shen Family Chamber of Commerce', but will say 'The Tiger Slaying Crazy Sword' Father'." Speaking of this, Shen Wanjin smiled gradually: "Your title is good, very good!"

"Father! Does anyone say that about their daughter?"

Shen Wanjin finally couldn't control himself, and burst out laughing.

"Don't be impatient, you might as well think about how to suppress this title."

"Suppress it?"

"So what if you change it? Some people will say it secretly. If you kill those who say so, people will hate you." Shen Wanjin said: "So you might as well secretly spread a name you like , and you can also call yourself this way on weekdays, so that gradually, people will call you by new names, even if some people call you by old names, there will only be fewer and fewer people."

Shen Mengyan frowned, and suddenly realized: "If I'm too excited, many of them will think it's funny to call me like that?"

"Yes, that's it."

Shen Mengyan nodded, but secretly thought about her new title.

Shen Wanjin suddenly became serious: "By the way, although Fengjing looks peaceful these days, there are undercurrents surging, you must be careful!"

Shen Mengyan said: "Understood, Daddy, my daughter will be careful."

What Shen Mengyan said was very natural, she didn't seem to want to get involved at all, and then she asked curiously: "What kind of undercurrents are surging?"

"About a dozen or so days ago, Chen Guang, the general of the North River Army, appeared near Fengjing. A lot of people came to this village, and everyone looked strong and strong, with a murderous aura."

"Chen Guang of Beihe Army?" Shen Mengyan was startled: "Isn't that an important general guarding the Beihe area? Not only did he come by himself, but he also brought his own men?"

"The Northern River Army is an elite infantry, most suitable for fighting in the city. The number is 3000, all of whom are off-duty soldiers. It can be said to be extremely powerful. However, there are more than 500 strangers around now." Shen Wanjin said: " If these people are the soldiers who came with Chen Guang this time, what do you think they are for?"

The so-called off-duty means that they do not work, but soldiers who specialize in militarized training. Their usual food and drink are directly distributed. They only need to learn how to fight. A force of 300 million people can always keep three There are about [-] full-time soldiers, because it is difficult to support people, and if it is a cavalry, the consumption will be even greater, which is more than several times that of people.

Therefore, three thousand off-duty is indeed a very powerful force.

But now more than 500 people have come to Fengjing, and they are all hidden, so it can only explain one thing, the other party came back for a big move, and as for what kind of big move, it must have something to do with the royal family.

Who is this General Chen Guang?

emperor?Prince?Or the sick His Royal Highness Ning Wang?

Shen Mengyan guessed in her heart, but a look of surprise appeared on her face: "It's still like this. If this Chen Guang is discovered, wouldn't he be beheaded to show the public? After all, for the emperor, this is an act of treason!"

"That's right, so he must have only one purpose for doing this." Shen Wanjin narrowed his eyes, and his voice was extremely low: "Conspiracy!"

Speaking of this, he sighed: "It seems that some prince can't sit still."

"Then what do we do?"

"It's good to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

Seeing Shen Wanjin with a satisfied face, Shen Mengyan sighed silently in her heart.

I can't just sit back and watch the tigers fight.

After chatting for a while, Shen Mengyan finally left the Shen family temporarily on the grounds of going to see an acquaintance.

Arriving in Fengjing, looking at Fengjing that hasn't changed much, Shen Mengyan came to the gate of a house with ease.

Then she knocked on the door.

"I'm coming!"

There was a milky voice from inside, and as the door was opened, the face of a ten-year-old girl was revealed behind.

Shen Mengyan looked at the little girl and said with a smile, "Do you still remember my sister?"

"Remember, my sister came here last time and had dinner with us!" the little girl shouted immediately.

Shen Mengyan stretched out her hand to touch the little girl's head, and asked, "Where's your sister?"

"My sister said she was going out to work, and she came back very late recently."

Coming back late?

Shen Mengyan secretly wrote down what the girl said, and asked again: "Did sister say where to work?"

"My sister doesn't tell us these things."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

Saying goodbye to the child, Shen Mengyan looked at the street behind her and fell into deep thought.

Hu Die was nowhere to be seen, and said that she had been coming back late recently. Could it be that she was busy with other things?

The last time I saw her confronting the Succubus Sect, it was actually a cooperation, and it seemed that she was also cooperating with Zhao Heng. In this way, she has been so busy recently, could it be that she is messing with Zhao Heng?

Maybe if I go to Zhao Heng, I can find Hu Die, but if I go directly to Zhao Heng now, will it cause some unnecessary trouble?Someone must be watching Ning Prince's Mansion. I am not some unarmed noble lady, but a world-famous swordsman.

The sword world is amazing, this is a good title, and it can be considered in the future.

Shen Mengyan was thinking, but the soles of her feet started to move. When she stopped, she had already arrived at the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion.

Seeing someone standing at the door, the gatekeeper hurriedly asked, "Miss, what do you want?"

"The little girl, Shen Mengyan, is here to find His Royal Highness King Ning."

The two were startled, and hurriedly said: "So it's Miss Shen. Your Highness has ordered that Miss Shen can go in directly without notification!"

So I am also privileged?

Shen Mengyan thought in her heart, but said: "Then please show me the way."

"Okay, please come with me!"

Following behind the servant of Prince Ning's Mansion, Shen Mengyan came to Prince Ning's Mansion for the second time, walked around inside a few times, and finally arrived at the place where King Ning was at the moment.

Looking at Zhao Heng who was drinking tea inside, Shen Mengyan smiled and said, "Is His Highness Prince Ning going to serve tea to see off the guests?"

Zhao Heng also smiled: "How can this be said to be serving tea to see off guests? It is obvious that Gu raised the teacup first, and then Miss Shen appeared."

Shen Mengyan sat directly aside, looking at this man whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he still looked so sick, his face was still so pale, and he coughed from time to time, Shen Mengyan said with a smile: "Why bother? Still acting like this play."

"Always respect your opponents." Zhao Heng said, coughed hard twice, and spat some red blood on the handkerchief.

Looking at this professional and serious actor, Shen Mengyan shook her head secretly. If there were many people in the previous life, if this person worked so hard to act, where would there be so many scolding...

"If you can't act well, you might die. This is also lonely and helpless."

"I don't know why His Highness King Ning called the little girl back?"

Zhao Heng smiled and said, "No rush, wait for someone first, they'll be here soon."

Chapter 140 Two Past Events

Zhao Heng asked, "Does Miss Shen want tea or wine?"

Shen Mengyan was too lazy to choose by herself, and kicked the ball back directly: "But I don't know what your Highness recommends."

"Gu naturally recommends this red agate."

"Onyx?"

"Famous wines produced in the far west of the Western Regions are generally the best drinks for nobles in wild places. I only got some because I met some friends." Zhao Heng said, holding a bag to the maid beside him. Let's go, the maid understood, went in and brought out a bottle of wine.

It was indeed a bottle of wine, and the bottle was still made of agate. Watching the liquid inside emit a blurred red light under the light, it gave people an extremely gorgeous feeling.

Shen Mengyan probably guessed it, this should be wine.

Due to the differences in regional raw materials and brewing techniques, the taste of wine in different regions is very different. Shen Mengyan is somewhat looking forward to how delicious the red wine that Zhao Heng took out as a treasure will taste.

As the wine was poured into the luminous glass, Shen Mengyan raised the wine glass and shook it lightly, the fragrance flowed into her nose, and then she took another sip, the entrance was not sweet, but bitter.

But then, as the bitterness dissipated, the sweetness finally appeared, and spread to the taste buds on the tip of the tongue, stimulating her nerves.

"It really is good wine!" Shen Mengyan finally laughed.

Zhao Heng was a little surprised: "Miss Shen also understands wine?"

Shen Mengyan maintained a smile on her face: "Know a thing or two."

It is all knowledge from the previous world. There are many parallels between this world and the previous world, so a lot of knowledge can be used directly, including the knowledge of alcohol.

In her last life, she happened to drink red wine the most.

"Gu likes this taste very much. Bitterness comes with sweetness. Without the previous bitterness, how can we know the preciousness of the later sweetness." Zhao Heng said, his tone seemed full of emotion.

Shen Mengyan put down the hand holding the wine glass, she knew it was finally here.

Zhao Heng is using the wine to express himself and talk about his own affairs.

"Actually, at the beginning, Gu always felt that it would be good to let the emperor be the emperor. They went to fight for theirs. It is naturally the most comfortable to be a prince happily. But after one incident, Gu understood, it's out of the question."

Shen Mengyan asked appropriately: "Why?"

"Gu used to be a bit competitive, but that was because he wanted to win the award from his father. Every child will have it, and other princes have it. But because Gu was the one who won the award, he was targeted. " Zhao Heng said: "Of course, Gu at the time didn't think that this would cause a lot of trouble."

Competitiveness, most people have it, and children are more obvious in this point, Shen Mengyan also thinks so.

Zhao Heng continued: "Gradually, when I grew up, I encountered some things and understood some things when I was traveling, and I began to feel that this competition for the first place is really funny. Instead of this, it's better to live happily For the rest of my life, Gu intends to take the position of a prince, and never ask about the throne again."

Shen Mengyan said: "At least from this point of view, you are not suffering."

"Yes, it's not considered suffering. That's because the suffering has not yet come, and the suffering will come later." Zhao Heng said, the smile on his face gradually disappeared and became gloomy.

It was the first time for Shen Mengyan to see such a gloomy expression on Zhao Heng's face, which was full of killing intent.

"Five years ago, Gu went to Daliang Temple to play. It was a relatively private pleasure, and he didn't bring too many followers. As a result, he was ambushed. The visitor masked his face and did not reveal his identity. He wanted to kill Gu Yu halfway. Gu can be regarded as losing his true love."

Beloved... Is that why you don't want to marry a wife?Shen Mengyan thought secretly.

"How do you confirm that it was the prince's people who did it?"

"The one who attacked was the third prince."

The third prince Zhao Bing?In Shen Mengyan's mind, she quickly went through the internal information of the palace that she had worked so hard to collect during this period of time, and asked in confusion: "But isn't the third prince very close to the second prince? He and the fourth prince generally support the second prince. of."

"That's just what it looks like on the surface. Although my elder brother is a bit stupid, he still has some brains, so in fact the third brother belongs to him." Zhao Heng said: "As for this, is it possible that the third brother actually has My own plan, or this is actually the second child deliberately trying to trick him, these are not important anymore."
