Back in Qingqiu, Chang Ling lived directly in Zhu Meng's Juying Hall.

Zhu Meng entertained Chang Ling almost as if he was a guest of honor. Not only did he take the initiative to give up Xiangyang's comfortable main hall to Chang Ling to live in, but he also came here to greet Chang Ling every day. deliver.

Chang Ling would not refuse anything, but after Zhu Meng left, he asked Shi Shi to throw those supplements into the pond to feed the fish.So much so that in less than half a month, the koi in the pond of Juying Hall suddenly doubled in size, as if they had become fine.

In half a month, under the guidance of Chang Ling, Zhu Meng cheated Zhu Long five times, and dug up the six grasshoppers around Zhu Long. He was in a great mood and relaxed, and he trusted Chang Ling more and more. Come and eat with Chang Ling.

Chang Ling was having lunch that day, Zhu Meng walked in with a dark face.

The palace servants wanted to come forward to serve, but Zhu Meng waved them away irritably.

Chang Ling slowly finished half a bowl of porridge and asked, "Why is my cousin so worried?"

Zhu Meng said despondently: "Tomorrow my father will come back from Qingqiu, and he will definitely question me about the customs clearance document. I am afraid that Zhu Long will seize this opportunity to take revenge on me."

Chang Ling nodded.

Zhu Meng's eyes widened, and he said dissatisfiedly, "What's your reaction? Speaking of which, I stole the customs clearance document because of you."

Chang Ling said: "Of course I will never forget my cousin's kindness. It is actually not difficult to get rid of uncle's anger."

Zhu Meng Yixi: "Then you should hurry up and say it."

Chang Ling: "Cousin took the initiative to hand over the military power of the garrison, and went to confess to uncle."

Zhu Meng was taken aback for a moment, and immediately jumped up, glaring at Chang Ling tremblingly: "You, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Of course it's a good way to relieve my cousin's worries."

Zhu Meng seemed to hear a joke: "I have worked so hard for so long to hold the garrison camp in my hands, but you actually asked me to hand it over. What kind of recipe is this? It's clearly harming me!"

Chang Ling smiled and said: "No. Now Zhulong is powerful and almost controls most of the military power in the capital, while my cousin only has one garrison in his hand, and he bought it with the pain of severed tail. How can parents not feel sorry for a sensible young son, as long as the cousin offered to hand over military power to plead guilty, and showed the appearance of fear and death, not only would the uncle not agree, but he might even appease the cousin."

The stakes are too high, Zhu Meng is suspicious: "Is this really true?"

Chang Ling nodded resolutely: "Now I am on the same boat with my cousin, and I still rely on my cousin for protection. How could I come up with a bad idea to deceive my cousin?"

"it is good!"

Zhu Meng's heart broke, and he said, "I will trust you just once."

Tangyue came in with a freshly brewed soup, just as she saw Zhu Meng leaving with a tragic face, she couldn't help wondering, "What's wrong with His Highness Fox?"

Chang Ling took a sip of the medicine soup, frowned bitterly, put down the medicine bowl, and said, "It's nothing, Bo Hui is coming back."

Tangyue's eyebrows twitched.

"The hunting meeting will be held in a few days. According to the usual practice, Bohui needs to choose a prince to preside over the sacrificial ceremony with him after the meeting. This person will be the candidate for the future crown prince. Zhu Long and Zhu Meng will definitely fight hard."

Chang Ling nodded: "You try to contact Grandpa and ask him to blow more wind in Zhu Meng's ear."

Ever since Chang Ling lived in the Juying Hall, Zhu Meng transferred Cangjie to the garrison to prevent the former master and servant from colluding with each other and harming him.

Tangyue said clearly: "This subordinate understands."

Suddenly there was a burst of shouting and cursing from outside the hall, and several servants were pressing a thin figure to the ground, punching and kicking it, and there were still a few people around, just laughing and watching, and did not step forward to stop it.

Tangyue had never been used to this kind of bullying behavior, but she was so scrupled that she was in the Hall of Blessing Meng, so she endured it.

Chang Ling suddenly said: "Go."

Tangyue was taken aback for a moment, but immediately came to her senses, smiled, and immediately pushed her sword out.

Now Chang Ling is Zhu Meng's guest, and as a bodyguard, Tangyue's value has also risen accordingly. When the servants saw him coming, they immediately released him and dispersed.

"Get up."

Tangyue reached out to help the man curled up on the ground with his head in his arms.

"Thank you..." The man staggered to his feet, slowly raised his head, revealing his pale and handsome face with a bruised nose and swollen face.

Tangyue was taken aback for a moment: "Ganli?"

Gan Li was also stunned, and in panic, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Tangyue shouted: "Stop."

Gan Li smiled wryly: "You have seen my current appearance, so take it as... retribution."

Tangyue walked up to him, looked at the too crude handyman's uniform on his body, and said in a complicated mood: "Didn't Zhu Meng accept you as a companion?"

Gan Li smiled more bitterly: "That was just a means for him to take revenge on the young master. As soon as the young master left Qingqiu, he sent me to the Book Pavilion as a handyman."

Tangyue was both angry and distressed: "If I knew this before, why did you do it in the first place! You know better than anyone else how the young master treats us, and how you had the heart to betray the young master that day."

"Do you think I'm willing to do that? My family has no power and power, just the lowest peasant household. At that time, my father was seriously ill, and my mother was running around all day long to raise money for medicine and owed a lot of debts. He arrested my mother and younger brother. , Threatening their lives, I have no choice."

Tangyue had already guessed that Gan Li should have a hard time, but she didn't expect such an inside story, she sighed, and said, "Then you shouldn't just be Zhu Meng's lackey without saying hello. These things, you Why don't you tell the young master, with the young master's intelligence and friendship to us, can't you think of a way to help you?"

Gan Li was speechless.

Tangyue sneered: "In your heart, you think that the young master is not capable of helping you, right? That's why you cling to Zhu Meng without hesitation."

Gan Li trembled violently.

Tangyue said: "The young master is inside, don't you want to pay a visit?"

"No. Now, how can I face the young master. I, I will go first."

Tangyue looked at Gan Li's fleeing back, and couldn't help but feel a little bit of hatred for iron.

Chang Ling had just finished drinking the medicine with pain, when he saw Tangyue coming back alone, he asked, "Is the matter resolved?"

Tangyue nodded, her Adam's apple rolling.

"Is there anything else?"

Tangyue hesitated for a moment, then finally shook her head and said, "It's nothing, this subordinate just came to see if the young master has any other orders."

Chang Ling shook his head: "I'm fine, you go and do your work."

**

In the evening of the next day, Zhu Meng really came over excitedly and said to Chang Ling: "You are really a roundworm in my father's stomach! I went to apologize to him according to the method you said, and cried a lot with snot and tears , He really didn't blame me, and rewarded me with a lot of rare spirit treasures. You didn't see it, Zhu Long was so angry that his face was almost green."

Zhu Meng raised his head and poured down a bowl of tea, gesticulating excitedly.

Chang Ling said: "Now that I have just succeeded in the first step, my cousin must not take it lightly."

"That's natural. Zhu Long is a hypocritical and vicious guy, and he is used to acting. He circles around the gang of fools and cheaters in Chaozhong. It's not easy to kill him. But with you, the two of us With a strong alliance, one brain and one hand, this thing will definitely be done."

"Success depends on uncle's will." Chang Ling took a sip of tea unhurriedly and asked, "The hunting meeting will be held in a few days. Didn't uncle mention the candidates for the sacrificial ceremony?"

Zhu Meng immediately said: "I'm about to discuss this matter with you too. Although my father didn't mention it in front of us, those idiots in the court will definitely go to him to speak for Zhu Long. If he succeeds, it is tantamount to acquiescing to his position as the crown prince, and there will be no place for me to stand in the future."

"He is His Majesty, so it is normal to choose him in terms of seniority. This time when uncle goes to Tianhuan, why not let him supervise the country?"

This matter has always been a thorn in Zhu Meng's heart, because in Zhu Meng's view, the reason why Zhu Long had the opportunity to make friends with the courtiers was because the Supervisor of the Kingdom allowed him to take advantage of the loophole.

"Then what do you say?"

Chang Ling put down the tea bowl, and said seriously: "My cousin regards Zhu Long as a confidant, and Zhu Long must also regard my cousin as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh. This hunting meeting is the time when my cousin and Zhu Long will have a showdown."

Zhu Meng was startled: "What do you mean?"

Chang Ling: "Opportunities are obtained by taking the initiative, not waiting for others to give them alms. There is only one crown prince, and whoever can survive to the end of the hunting conference will naturally be the only crown prince. Zhu Long also understands this truth, so he will definitely take advantage of it. This opportunity strikes hard. My cousin, do you understand?"

Zhu Meng geared up and said: "You still need to say, I have been looking forward to this day in my dreams."
