In the middle of the night, the fake Meng Jing really died, and the whole Meng Mansion was completely sleepless. In the first half of the night, the chickens and dogs were jumping around, and in the second half of the night, they were full of love.

Speaking of it, Meng Jing is the second son of the Meng family. He originally entered the military department through his sister's blessing and had a bright future in Shuoliang. It is a pity that Meng Jing is a son of a rich family with mediocre martial arts and lack of understanding. When a person catches a small mistake, he chases after him and beats him fiercely. The second prince is too lazy to care about his brother-in-law who can't support him, so he throws him to Xingtian Pass. He wants to train him. Buried a person underneath.

Who would have expected that wars would be wars, and on New Year's Eve, Qi Xiao entered Xingtian Pass with the stars and the moon, regardless of the original situation of the Qi Dynasty, what the eldest prince and the second prince were thinking, Qi Xiao seemed to break in suddenly and overturned the chessboard, scattered There are black and white people all over the place, which really turned the world upside down.

There was a new funeral in the Meng mansion, Qi Xiao and others were completely forgotten, Yu Ran said a few words to the second steward in the backyard, the meaning was simple, the outside was very chaotic, many state capitals were sealed off and no one was allowed to enter, there was a war They have nowhere to go, hoping to stay in the Meng Mansion.

The four of Yu Ran and the others are all young and middle-aged, they can do rough work as a handyman, they can do plowing and farming, they used to be miscellaneous soldiers in the government office, they can work hard, and they can also do housekeeping and courtyard guarding. It will let the Meng Mansion raise idlers for nothing, and it will not be a loss to keep them.

Whether to keep them or not, the second manager can't decide, Meng Jing hasn't passed the first seven days, and the house is busy, so he can't talk about it, so he asked Yu Ran to wait, and they were happy to relax.

It was heavy rain on the day of Meng Jing's funeral, and the gloomy clouds made the whole Meng Mansion even more desolate. There was a lot of crying in the mansion, and Qi Xiao's dilapidated small courtyard could hear the desolation and mourning. It was so frightening. goosebumps.

Qi Xiao and the others sat in the room drinking tea.

One is that they are free at first, they are not from the Meng family, and they don’t have that status if they are guests, and no one dares to send them to help with odd jobs. After all, they are protecting the second young master of the Meng family back to Lu’an Mansion. At that time, there was still a breath left, and it was the last time I met, no matter what, I was kind to the Meng family.

Secondly, Yu Ran happened to tell Qi Xiao the news that he found in the Meng Mansion these days, and they wanted to make the next step.

"Meng Boquan is now the master of the Meng family. People are nothing, two words, mediocre, never make big mistakes, keep making small mistakes, a little selfish and weak temper, soft ears, most of the people in the house are made up by the eldest lady.

The eldest son Meng Tao, the second son Meng Jing, and the eldest lady who married as the second prince's side concubine are all descendants of the eldest wife, and there are three aunts in the mansion, all of whom have nothing to do. But I think it's because this lady is amazing. "

"Where's Meng Tao? What kind of temper?"

"What a great success."

Yu Ran said succinctly, "Over the years, most of the Meng family's property in Lu'an Mansion has been gradually handed over to Meng Tao. During the holidays, he will find a prospect to send to Shuoliang City, and make connections in the court. The Meng family asked for the title and sent Meng Jing to the Ministry of War."

"Nobility? Aren't the five major clans all hereditary titles? Why do you want to ask for it?"

Isn't the Earl Lu An's Mansion hanging on the gate of the Meng Mansion?

"Ah Jiu is right, the five major clans have all been awarded the title of earl since the founding of Qi State.

However, the power of the five major clans is not evenly balanced. Taking the Hai and Mu families as their respects, the Meng family is gradually declining in the hands of Meng Boquan. All the Meng families were sent out.

And last year the Hai family was promoted to Marquis due to their meritorious service in supervising the repair of the Royal Courtyard, Meng Tao was so angry that he jumped on his feet. "

Qi Xiao laughed, the matter of supervising and repairing the other courtyard is not what Xu Sheng said in the letter, forcing Mr. Zhao to death.

Mr. Zhao's death showed his aspirations, and the emperor of Qi turned around and rewarded the Hai family, which shows that the Hai family has a sacred heart, and the emperor of Qi is also very extravagant and willful.

The muddy water in Qi Guochao Hall looks much better than that of Da Chen.

"Miss Meng's family is the concubine of the second prince, what about the concubine?"

"The second prince doesn't have a concubine yet."

Qi Xiao raised his brows, just waiting for the seat to be empty, obviously doing so on purpose.

"That's fine."

Qi Xiao laughed, his eyes were piercingly cold, which reminded Chi Yue of the snowy night in Fenglin Mountain, and made Yu Ran feel cold, so cold that he couldn't help shivering.

Meng Tao wants to revive the momentum of the Meng family, he wants the title, and he also wants to help the young lady of the Meng family, no matter which one, he must first have the credit.

In times of peace and prosperity, Meng's family was far away in Lu'an's mansion, and there were no clan relatives in the court. If he wanted to make meritorious service, he kept currying favor with the people in Shuoliang City, and waited for the opportunity.

Originally Meng Jing was an opportunity, but unfortunately he failed to stay in Shuo Liang and is still dead now.

Then Qi Xiao happened to be able to give the Meng family an opportunity and credit, a great military merit that Meng Tao and Meng Bo could not refuse.

"Who are the most trusted people around Da Furen and Meng Tao?"

Qi Xiao and the others are new faces, it is too difficult to gain the trust of the Meng family in a short while, and they need to start from the side.

"There is a king in Da Furen's courtyard, who was brought by Da Furen's dowry. He has been with Da Furen for decades, and he trusts her most. There are also two big girls, Bai Lu and Hong Xia. The housekeeper has to let her Give these three people some face.

There is Mr. Bo Xubo on the side of the eldest son, who used to be a small accountant in the Meng family's shop, because he is good at calculating and has won the favor of the eldest son, he has been with him all the time, and lives in the mansion. "

"Skilled in calculations, isn't it the abacus, the bookkeeper?" Although Qi Xiao was asking, his tone was [-]% sure.

Yu Ran nodded: "I heard that Mr. Bo has advised the eldest son and expanded the business of the Meng family a lot.

Because of Miss Meng's incident, the Meng family was hollowed out. Natural disasters have continued in recent years, and the Meng family's property has also been affected. It seems that it is unsustainable. Thanks to Mr. Bo, the foundation of the Meng family has been stabilized. "

Qi Xiao took a sip of tea, raised his finger slightly and pointed at Chi Yue: "Ma'am, you can figure it out."

Chi Yue looked at Qi Xiao in a daze for a moment, then responded with a smile, "Yes."

Yu Ran stared at Qi Xiao in a daze, then glanced at Chi Yue, thought for a while and still didn't speak, the master's decision would not allow him to comment.

But the eldest lady lives deep in the inner courtyard, they are all men, and they cannot enter through the double door.

Let Chi Yue see what to do?What should I do?What can be done?

Yu Ran originally thought it would be easier to attack Mr. Bo.

But what was he worrying about, Chi Yue readily agreed, as if it was no big deal at all, there should be a solution.

The Xuanji Camp and the Tiance Camp are divided into two, and they don't know about the Tiance Camp. They just follow the instructions and collect information when the Tiance Camp is in action.

Yu Ran only knew that Tiance Camp was very powerful, and it was his turn to worry about it.

There are four people in a room, Yu Ran is reliable but not too thoughtful, Zong Sheng can do whatever Qi Xiao says, only Qi Xiao and Chi Yue are full of twists and turns.

Qi Xiao drank a cup of tea and couldn't help but want to sigh. It would be great if Tang Ling was here at this time. Tang Ling must understand why he ordered Chi Yue to go to the eldest lady first.

That tacit understanding is the secret happiness hidden in the heart.

Qi Xiao couldn't help but miss Tang Ling.

Fortunately, Chi Yue is a sensible person, so he won't make Qi Xiao waste his time explaining.

***

The conversation was divided into two parts. Xu Zheng had been besieging Bashan for half a month. He could sit still, and Tang Ling was happy to have a leisurely time. However, Qi Guochao couldn't wait for Xu Zheng's success for a long time. His Majesty issued an imperial decree for Xu Zheng to attack Bashan .

Xu Zheng sighed when he received the imperial decree. He had expected it a long time ago, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

Jialin Pass and Xingtian Pass were broken, Bashan was occupied, and Zhou State's army suppressed the border. Fu Shouguang led the army to Ningtang, confronted Xun'an Hou Tangqiao, and sent envoys to negotiate. Xun Anhou smashed a pile of rotten rocks and mud with a trebuchet, obviously humiliating Qi, and he didn't want to talk about it at all.

With the war on the east and north fronts, those nobles in Shuoliang can't sleep now, so they are in a hurry.

Xu Zheng can only attack the city if he doesn't want to.

The battle rises, and the banners block out the sun.

Tang Ling was standing on the tower, but he didn't need to come to see it. With Lu Xiulin and Baixi Bridge here, Xu Zheng couldn't break Bashan Mountain, but Tang Ling came anyway, and he wanted to watch for Qi Xiao.

Among Xu Zheng's army, there were carts, ladders and catapults, all of them were in the formation, with a huge momentum, as if they were determined to break the mountain.

The south city gate opened slowly, making a heavy babbling sound, as if it could stab out from the sound of the thundering war drums.

A cavalry rushed out of the south gate at a fast speed, like an arrow from a bow, and shot straight at Xu Zheng's army.

Standing on a high place, Xu Zheng couldn't help being stunned. This cavalry has a maximum of 2000 people. How dare he attack his army of [-]?Is that Chen Guojiu prince crazy?

Without waiting for the license to figure it out, the cavalry had rushed hundreds of meters out of the city gate, getting closer and closer to them, and within the range of their bows and arrows.

"Archers ready! Send!"

Arrows rained down all over the sky, and hundreds of cavalrymen were instantly tied up like hedgehogs. The corpses of people and horses were scattered in disorder.

The blood was sprinkled into a pool, and it gradually spread out, as if it could reach Xu Zheng's feet and reach Bashan Chengguan.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Zheng immediately knew something was wrong, and raised his hand to order the vanguard to suspend the siege.

"Go check the body!"

"Yes!"

Soon Xiaobing came back and reported Xu Zhan: "General! Those people are my Bashan defenders! They are all tied to the horse!"

There was a buzz in Xu Zheng's mind, and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Bashan Chengguan.

Baixiqiao stood on the city gate, holding a special bow and arrow in his hand, which was much longer than ordinary bows and arrows, extremely heavy, and the arrows were also heavy and long. This bow could barely be drawn by two young and middle-aged men, but it Now in the hands of Baixiqiao, I saw him set up a long bow, lead the arrow to open the bow, and there was a loud whoosh. The sound of the sky shook people's ears.

The range of the long arrow is more than double that of ordinary bows, and it was able to pass from the city gate, cross the blood pool and shoot straight to the front of Xu Zheng's formation. The soldiers in front of Xu Zheng's formation were so frightened that they took several steps back, otherwise they would almost be killed by this Arrows in a bunch!

Tang Ling saw Xu Zheng's front was sunken a little, couldn't help looking at Baixi Bridge, and smiled at him.

There was a note on the long arrow, nothing was written on it, just a number, 2 three.

2 three people.

There are zeros and wholes.

It is the number of surviving defenders trapped in Bashan.

Xu Zheng was so angry that there was a sharp pain in his chest, and he almost couldn't help spurting out a mouthful of blood, but in the army formation, he was the commander in chief, and he had to be as calm as a mountain, so he could only forcefully swallow the blood from his heart.

mean! !
