Reverse Junhou

Chapter 81 The tallest building [7]

The bright moon in the Tianshan Mountains, and the geese in the desert.Yunzhou is the first city in the northern border, and there are countless scenic spots outside the Great Wall.

Zhenbei Mansion is located in the north of Yunzhou City, backed by the Yandang Pass, like a patron saint, standing in the north of the sixteen prefectures.

Zhao Fenghui knew that Wu Ge and his concubine grew up in Zhenbei Mansion since they were young. They were used to listening to the Qiang flute with long rhymes and the joy of galloping horses, so naturally they didn't like being confined in the narrow and small palace.

He was a little envious in his heart, since he knew it, he had never left Guangyang for half a step.Although the blood of Zhenbei Erlang is flowing on his body, he has never really set foot in this native land.

Zhao Fenghui walked through the school grounds of Zhenbei Mansion and into the street market in Yunzhou City.The tall boy assigned to him by Uncle Zhai was a dull gourd, leading the horse and following behind him, not saying a word on the road.

"What's your name, Meng, Meng Lou?" Zhao Fenghui picked up a dog's tail grass by the side of the road, and muttered in his mouth.

"Yes." Meng Lou replied.

"Your name is interesting, why do you want a famous building?"

"The commander took it." Meng Lou said.

Zhao Fenghui lost interest and threw the dogtail grass casually.This kid was quite ignorant, the guards of the imperial guards in the palace, who saw that he was not trying his best to go forward, thought that if he served himself well, he would have a chance to show his face in front of Fifth Brother.It's good for Meng Lou, he cherishes words like gold, it seems that he is quite proactive.

The two walked along the main street for half an hour in relative silence, and Zhao Fenghui saw a dimly lit high tower and pavilion in a neighborhood not far away.The building is connected with the corridor between the buildings, and there are some noisy noises faintly coming from the pavilion.He widened his eyes curiously: "How can there be such a covered bridge and water pavilion in Yunzhou?"

Meng Lou, who had always been taciturn, finally moved, took a step forward, and blocked Zhao Fenghui with his hand: "Your Majesty, there are many people here, why don't you go elsewhere."

Zhao Fenghui's curiosity was aroused for a moment: "Tell me, what exactly is there?"

In terms of shape, it is somewhat similar to a brothel in Guangyang, but there is no woman welcoming guests in front of the building.It would make sense if it was an inn or wine shop, but it's a bit strange that such a vermilion pavilion with carved railings should exist in this freezing cold land of northern Saibei.

Meng Lou was silent for a while, then slowly said: "This is a barter place for big merchants from the Hu tribe and merchants from the Central Plains. Most of them do large-scale transactions. It is also a place for entertainment and entertainment on weekdays."

The brocades at the entrances of several shops were rattled by the north wind, and the huge Chinese characters for "wine" were very eye-catching under the lights.Zhao Fenghui stood on tiptoe and took a look into the distance, then raised his foot and walked forward: "The weather is too cold, let's go, go and order some hot wine to warm our stomach."

Meng Lou opened his mouth to stop him, but found that His Highness the Tenth Highness was walking very fast, and he distanced himself from him in an instant.The pompom on His Highness's boots started to sway left and right again. Meng Lou stared at the pompom for a moment, then took the horse and hurriedly followed the Tenth Highness in front of him.

In fact, Zhao Fenghui seldom drank alcohol in Beijing, and the fifth elder brother watched closely on weekdays, so he could only get drunk when he was out of the palace for banquets.Meng Lou frowned, and sat down with His Highness the Tenth Highness in a private room on the second floor of a restaurant.

Zhao Fenghui ordered two bowls of hot wine and half a pair of yak meat. Holding the hand stove brought by the waiter in the shop, he slumped on the chair cushion contentedly: "It's still comfortable in the house."

He tilted his head and glanced at Meng Lou standing behind him: "Why are you still standing? Sit down and drink with me."

The corners of Meng Lou's mouth froze, but in the end he didn't dare to disobey His Majesty's wishes, so he walked to the opposite side of the table and sat down slowly.

The commander-in-chief and Deputy commander-in-chief Zhai have always been at ease with themselves, and they don't know what the two old people will think if they hear that they are leading the ten temples to drink in the afternoon today.

But the most honorable young man in front of him was full of joy in his clear eyes.Looking around, looking around, everything feels new.Xu Shi had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

He didn't want to spoil his interest.

Xiaoer left the private room after serving the food and wine, leaving only him and His Highness the Tenth Prince in the whole private room.Before Meng Lou could stand up in the future, His Royal Highness filled the wine and handed it into his hands: "Come on, brother Meng, we will not return today if we are not drunk!"

The young man's white fingertips passed over his palm, carrying a hint of the coldness of winter.Meng Lou was startled, but saw His Highness the Tenth Prince rolled up his sleeves, raised his head and drank the hot wine in his hand.

Zhao Fenghui smacked his lips in satisfaction, seeing Meng Lou on the opposite side staring at him.He put down his cup and said cheerfully, "Why are you staring at me?"

Meng Lou hesitated for a while, but finally said, "Your Highness looks a lot like the Emperor."

Zhao Fenghui laughed loudly, and couldn't help hiccupping: "Really? Everyone thinks that I, hiccup——I resemble the fifth brother—"

However, the temperament is completely different.Meng Lou thought silently in his heart.

When he was eight years old, the Hu people led an army into the pass.Menglou's family of six went south from the north and fled to Beizhili for refuge.He got separated from his parents on the way, and his younger sister was kidnapped by the mob along the way.He stepped forward to take back his little sister, but was kicked and beaten by everyone and thrown into a muddy ditch by the side of the road.Grandpa caught him back and took him to flee outside Xinglong City overnight.

Xinglong City prevented refugees from entering the city, and the water and food outside the city were cut off. Grandpa lay dying on the haystack, and could only survive by eating bark.

Meng Lou understood that if there was no more food, the grandfather and grandson would not be able to survive anymore.

A nobleman from the capital came to Xinglong, he threw himself on the nobleman's boots and begged him to give him some food, regardless of life and death.Although the nobleman didn't agree immediately, a few days later he delivered a cart full of grain, pulling him and his grandfather back from the brink of life and death.

Meng Lou survived.

He wanted to repay his kindness even in his dreams, but he couldn't wait for that noble man who looked like a banished fairy.

Later, another adult came from Beijing, and people in the government said that this is a high official who is more powerful than a nobleman.The adult gave himself a token, saying that the nobleman who saved him is in trouble now, if he wants to repay his favor, he will take the token to find the Zhenbei Army when he grows up, and serve the country loyally.

When I was 13 years old, my grandfather passed away.Meng Lou put away the simple and simple package, holding the token given by the adult in his hand, and knocked on the gate of Zhenbei Mansion.

"Your Majesty and Mr. Wen," the young man in white sitting next to His Majesty gradually overlapped with the figure of Qingfeng Jiyue in his memory, "both are my saviors."

"You mean fairies?" Zhao Fenghui squinted his eyes, his face was faintly stained red.

Seeing that His Highness the Tenth Highness was a little tipsy and struggling to get up, Meng Lou stood up in a hurry and helped the half-drunk Highness Tenth to steady himself.He pushed open the door of the private room, supported His Highness the Tenth Prince, and wanted to go downstairs.

There were two guests sitting by the window on the second floor, and Xiaoer was busy looking around them.Seeing Meng Lou walking out with Zhao Fenghui supported, Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, do you need a hand?"

The two guests were talking about something, when they heard Xiao Er's voice, they cast their gazes in the direction of the private room curiously.Seeing that it was two drunk young men, they looked away again and continued talking about their own affairs.

Meng Lou noticed that His Highness's body froze for a moment, and then was pushed away by His Highness.

"I, vomit..." Zhao Fenghui covered his mouth and went back to the private room.

Meng Lou waved his hand to the worried shop clerk, stuffed some silver into the clerk's heart, and signaled that nothing happened, then followed Zhao Fenghui back to the private room.

Zhao Fenghui quickly closed the door.

Meng Lou looked at His Majesty the Tenth Highness who sat back in the chair with a normal expression: "?"

The blush on His Highness's face faded instantly, and his eyes were shining brightly.

"Brother Meng, did you see those two sitting by the window?" Zhao Fenghui asked him in a low voice.

Meng Lou just focused his attention on the drunken Zhao Fenghui, and didn't pay attention to the other two: "This subordinate didn't pay attention... One of them is a barbarian?"

Zhao Fenghui leaned closer to his ear: "That barbarian's ears are festering, but the other Central Plains man is fine."

Zhao Fenghui's heart sank slightly, if according to what Wu Niangzi said, then this Hu merchant is the poisoner who carries the Qingfu spirit.He asked this Central Plains merchant to meet here, probably in order to plant poison on the merchant.

Meng Lou was still puzzled: "So?"

Zhao Fenghui tapped his head, thinking that he was stupid for drinking.All the discussions in the meeting hall are confidential matters, Meng Lou is just a personal guard in the mansion, so naturally he doesn't know about the evil poison.

Meng Lou saw that Tenth Highness's complexion was unpredictable, and wondered what this man was planning.

After a while, he heard His Highness the Tenth Highness say seriously: "Brother Meng, Uncle Zhai sent you to protect me because he must have great confidence in your skills."

Meng Lou: "??"

"That barbarian by the window, if you step forward and attack me, what are your chances of winning?"

"……Nine points."

Meng Lou's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Okay," Zhao Fenghui patted Meng Lou on the shoulder, "Go and tie that man up, and bring him back to Zhenbei Mansion. My little king will reward you very much."

Meng Lou: "..."

*****

Just after the ugly hour, the meeting hall was dismissed, the generals left the mansion one after another, and Jing Yanglin had already rested in the backyard.

The dim candlelight swayed in the wind in front of the hollowed-out window rails, reflecting two slender figures who shared the same couch.

Zhao Fengci stroked the sideburns of the person beside him, and placed a light kiss on his forehead.Wen Xuechao snorted softly in his sleep, turned around with his eyes closed, and hugged Zhao Fengci's waist.

Warm fingers clasped on his back, with a soft and numb touch.

Zhao Fengci's breathing suddenly became heavier, he looked down at the sleeping person in his arms, and rubbed the tip of his nose.

Wen Xuechao felt a slight itching at the tip of her nose, frowned, and slowly opened her eyes.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Zhao Fengci's bright eyes in the dark, watching him passionately and deeply.

Wen Xuechao originally wanted to sit up slowly, but the moment she stood up, she stopped, and her earlobe turned red.

Zhao Fengci reacted again.

"Xue Chao—" Zhao Fengci grabbed his waist, preventing him from getting up.

"No." Wen Xuechao said categorically, "Feng Hui hasn't returned home yet, so you don't need to worry."

"The kid who took him out is as skilled as I am, so don't worry about it." Zhao Fengci said, "Just once tonight." Resigned over the waist.

Thin kisses fell on him, and the emperor in front of him let go of his usual sternness and smiled softly.

"Boom—"

A loud sound of breaking the door came from the main gate of Zhenbei Mansion. It seemed that someone was arguing and fighting in front of the mansion. After a while, the tranquility returned.

The lanterns in the corridor were all lit up, and the mansion was bustling with noisy voices.

A burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and several figures knelt outside the door.

Zhao Fengci slowly got up from the couch, with a pair of resentful cold eyes fixed on the direction outside the courtyard door.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Fengci said coldly.

The people outside the door were extremely anxious, and their voices were trembling: "Report, Your Majesty!"

"His Royal Highness has kidnapped the consul of the Yanqu Chamber of Commerce!"

The author has something to say: Zhao Fengci: Whoever loves to raise a younger brother will raise him, anyway, I will not raise him.
