Envy

As soon as City Lord Xia and the doctor went out, several boys in the room surrounded Yan Miao.

"Miao'er, how are you? Are you feeling better?" Zhao Ce sat down where the doctor was sitting just now, and leaned over to look at Yan Miao.She raised a few fingers slightly, shook them, and was too weak to speak.

Xue Ye blamed himself all over his face: "It's all my fault. If I had known... I shouldn't have punched her and drank."

Meng Tou stood beside Zhao Ce: "Why did this happen after drinking a few glasses of wine? Isn't Yan Miao always invulnerable?"

It is said that the third lady of the Yan family can sweep thousands of armies by herself, and she is proficient in everything from literary to martial arts.His uncle Yan Shuheng was also in high spirits when he mentioned this daughter, and praised her very much.She is usually very angry.Meng Tou was a little surprised to see her so weak.

Yan Miao couldn't keep her eyelids open, she had a headache from being quarreled by them, but when she uttered, she was weak: "Shut up, you're so annoying."

Xue Ye whispered a few words in Meng Tu's ear.After Meng Tu listened attentively, his face was blank: "Yuexin?"

Xue Ye covered his face and didn't want to speak, so he turned around and walked out the door.It was only then that Meng Tou realized what Yuexin was, and it turned out that Yan Miao was so weak because of this.He immediately said, "I'll go to the steward and ask for a hand stove."

As soon as he went out, Zhao Ce followed him: "Meng Tou, you want to claim credit, I'm going to ask for a bedding too."

Meng Tou smiled and tapped his shoulder, then turned to Huo Zhi who was still inside and said, "Hey Huo Zhi, take Yan Miao back to her room first, we'll be right back."

Everyone came and went like the wind, and after a while, only Jiang Yi and Xue Ye were left in the side hall.Jiang Yi leaned on the pillar outside the door, already sound asleep.Xue Ye wanted to wake him up, but just made a "Xue" mouth shape, and swallowed the sound back.

Jiang Yi fell asleep.

Xue Ye played with his long hair that fell to his shoulders, and unexpectedly found that it felt very good.Under the moonlight, Jiang Yi's complexion was even more cold and jade-like, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly.Xue Ye never knew that Jiang Yi's eyelashes were so thick and long, so he unconsciously leaned over and got closer.

He stretched out a finger to touch Jiang Yi's eyelashes, and stroked them lightly.Jiang Yi didn't respond and was still asleep.He made a second transfer with confidence.Jiang Yi suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed his wrist, and said in a lazy voice that had just woken up: "What are you doing?"

Xue Ye was taken aback, and stared straight into his eyes for a while, then suddenly laughed: "Your eyes are pretty."

……

Meng Tou and Zhao Ce went quickly this time, but the City Lord's Mansion is a bit big, they are not familiar with it, and they took a lot of detours.They were led by the maid in charge, and returned immediately after getting the things.

At the door of Yan Miao's room, Huo Zhi sat on the railing and waited for them.He said that he had lost all his energy to Yan Miao, and she had fallen asleep now.

Because this was the room of their daughter's house, Meng Tou and Zhao Ce didn't dare to stay for long, covered Yan Miao with a quilt, put down their things and closed the door to come out.Yan Miao's face was still pale, and she was sleeping on her side, curled up.

Yan Miao's room is exquisitely furnished, showing the elegance of a boudoir everywhere.This shows how much City Lord Xia put in to please this Miss Yan family.They are different. Several people squeeze into one room, and it is very difficult to turn over at night.

Fortunately, the five of them always like to be clean, and it is barely acceptable to lie together after taking a bath every day.There are always disputes in the brother's house next door, so-and-so dislikes such-and-such's bad smell, and refuses to live in the same room with him.This incident even reached Uncle Nishizawa.Both of them were severely criticized, and they came back in disgrace, and then they settled down.

So they went back to their rooms.Meng Tou casually mentioned to Huo Zhi: "Yan Miao is so weak, it must be very hard for you to help her back."

Huo Zhi pushed open the door: "I carried it, it's okay."

Meng Tou's legs softened, and he stretched out his hand to support the door: "Don't let Zhao Ce hear what you said. Let me tell you, if he finds out, he will kill you."

Without looking back, Huo Zhi untied the belt of his coat: "Oh."

……

Meng Tou buried himself in the room, thinking hard on a piece of white paper.It wasn't until the sun was rising that I finally thought of a suitable strategy and sent it to Uncle Nishizawa after lunch.

"The north, east, and north sides of the Dongtan River were guarded by 50 people. The high wall in the west sent 60 more people to prevent wild spirits from entering the west of the city. 13 people entered from the Dongtan River, and Shi Wenxing's sword array controlled the wild spirits. Six people entered the cemetery. Seal the wild spirit." Meng Tou drew a detailed topographical map, and also wrote an analysis of each part of the disciples, thinking that nothing would go wrong.

Unexpectedly, after reading it, Master Nishizawa threw the blank paper back: "Here, you have rewritten offense, but rarely mentioned defense. Besides, you have given too little consideration to the injured disciple. Go back and write again. Yes. If you don’t hand it in before evening, you won’t have dinner.”

Meng Tou picked up the piece of paper, went back to the room silently and continued to think.

Xue Ye went back to the room and saw Meng Tou flipping through the ancient books one by one, with a very serious expression on his face.He drew the terrain of Dongtan River on paper, and circled the key points of defense with a Chinese ink pen.There were crumpled discarded paper balls all around his feet.Jiang Yi put two sweet oranges on the table, didn't dare to disturb Meng Tou, and closed the door by himself and went out.

Meng Tou doesn't look very serious, but he is always very serious and reliable when he does things.Maybe he really is the kind of person who has great ambitions but never shows his edge.

As a result, Meng Tou had dinner as he wished, and he stepped on the meal time to hand in the second strategy.He added some details to the original strategy.

Uncle Nishizawa rested his forehead on his hands, frowned, read the strategy book twice, and nodded in approval.In the evening, I found the five of them and Shen Gui's Yan Miao Zhao Ce to discuss it together.However, he was not the one who talked about the battlefield. He signaled Meng Tou to tell everyone his strategy and arrange everything.

Everyone had no objection, but everyone was stunned when they heard it.It was rare for Meng Tou to talk about strategy and layout to each of them so seriously.

"Shen Gui is good at defending and Mu Su is good at attacking, why not combine the strengths of the two factions..."

Yan Miao gnawed the melon seeds, poured the shells from her palms on the table, and crossed her legs: "Shen Gui is good at defending and attacking, unlike you Mu Mi."

Meng Tou waved his hands helplessly: "Okay, okay. The forty disciples of Shen Gui's sect interspersed among the disciples of Mu Su on the west wall of the city, and the other 20 people guarded in front of the shrubs on the east mountain."

"Since Shen Gui is the only one among the six people who sealed the wild spirit, Mu Mi. Then the 13 people who entered the Dongtan River should be Shen Gui's disciples."

Jiang Yi on the side spoke abruptly: "Shen Gui's disciple who followed Mu Su's moves, can also control wild spirits with a star array?"

For some reason, Xue Ye always felt that Jiang Yi's words were aimed at Yan Miao, and he was not like his usual gentle and elegant.But he took off the porcelain lid and drank tea as if nothing had happened, not paying attention to anyone's face.

"Of course we won't use those ancient techniques." Yan Miao glanced in Jiang Yi's direction, leaned back with her straight waist, and leaned on the back of the chair carved with cranes, "Shen Gui's 'Nine Heavens Beyond' is still the same. Can control spirits. I heard that the 'Wen Xing Zhen' of the noble sect is no longer as prestigious as it used to be."

Jiang Yi was expressionless: "Each to each other."

Seeing that the situation was not right, Meng Tou immediately interrupted their conversation: "The disciples of Shen Gui who came to Yongye are all elites, and joining the battle will help us. Then, according to what Miss Miao said, replace the 13 people who entered the battle with disciples of Shen Gui , the original disciples of Mu Mi guarded the bushes."

Meng Tou decided to enter the cemetery with Uncle Xi Ze, Jiang Yi, Xue Ye, Li Xingfeng and Zhao Ce to seal the wild spirit.

"Huo Zhi stayed at the westernmost part of the bush to take care of the injured disciples. As for Miss Miao, you are weak these days, you should stay in the city lord's mansion to rest."

Yan Miao was a little annoyed when she heard this, she frowned, squeezed the melon seeds in her hand, and threw them on the table beside her: "You let me stay? I'm fine, and you underestimate me too much. You can still go to Dongtan River to subdue wild spirits."

Meng Tou wanted to say something, but met Shang Yanmiao's stubborn eyes.

She looked into Meng Tou's eyes and said word by word: "This is the dignity of Shen Gui and the Yan family."

He flattened his hands and raised them, expressing a compromise: "Okay, okay, you too. Auntie, I'm afraid of you."

Uncle Xi Ze also said: "Then let Huo Zhi and Yan Miao go together."

Xue Ye was the first to jump out and say, "Why don't you let me accompany Miss Miao?" After he finished speaking, he was frightened back by the master's cold eyes, and he didn't dare to say another word.
