Meng Boquan was invited by Hongxia. On the way, he heard Hongxia give a general account of the matter, and his pace became more and more hurried, while sending someone to inform Meng Tao.

As soon as Meng Boquan arrived at the back house, the lady ordered the painter to come trotting all the way.

Meng Boquan and the eldest lady watched the painter draw the Master Hong in Chi Yue's mouth stroke by stroke, and the eldest lady's eyes seemed to want to chop this Hong Lord into pieces one by one.

At dusk that day, Meng Boquan stayed in the mourning hall, chanting scriptures for Meng Jing together with the eldest lady, while Meng Tao came in a hurry, took the portrait and left in a hurry, ordering people to find this Hong Ye quickly and bring him Find out the situation.

Qi Xiao stood in the courtyard watching the master perform Taoism, and suddenly remembered the dojo presided over by Ning Wanxiao in the Westbound Palace after Concubine Lin passed away.

The customs of Chen and Qi are completely different, and the funeral rules of the Meng family in Lu'an Mansion are even more unique. The black and white flags flutter weakly in the wind, and Qi Xiao can't even understand what the mage is reading.

Ning Wanxiao's Death Dojo made Qi Xiao feel peaceful, as if Ning Wanxiao's scriptures could make him a gust of wind, coming and going without a trace, no matter where he came from or where he returned, he was at ease.

And looking at the mage of the Meng family, who was also supernatural, Qi Xiao felt as if he was reciting the soul of the dead, and he would bow down after three sentences and five steps. Even Qi Xiao would be infected by this piety.

Qi Xiao raised his eyes and looked into the mourning hall, where incense candles and fireworks were lingering, and the sound of sobbing and crying could be faintly heard.

No matter Chen or Qi, no matter what customs and rituals, the mood of mourning the dead is the same.

How deep and heavy is the hatred in the eldest lady's heart at this moment, Qi Xiao is clear that she will not let it go, someone must bury her son with her life.

On this side, Qi Xiao watched coldly, while on the other side, Hongxia, the lady's personal maid, took Chi Yue into a corner while no one was paying attention.

"Sister Hongxia is looking for me?"

"Yes, it's you."

"Sister Hongxia, what are your orders?"

"Let me ask you, when you met the Second Young Master, did you see other people around the Second Young Master?"

"other people?"

Seeing Chi Yue's confused face, Hongxia couldn't hide her sad expression, she bit her lip and didn't say a word for a while.

"Sister Hongxia also has relatives in Xingtian Pass?"

Of course Chi Yue's words were not random guesses. He stayed in the back house for two days before overhearing something useful. Last night, Bai Lu and Hongxia talked. Both of them are the children of the Meng family, and Hongxia also has My dear brother, he has been with the Second Young Master since he was a child.

The fake Meng Jing was sent back to Meng's house by Qi Xiao and the others, but Hongxia's elder brother was nowhere to be found, and Hongxia was really anxious.

"How do you know?"

"With the identity of Second Young Master, how can there be no one around him.

But when I met the Second Young Master, he was alone.

Maybe it got lost halfway. "

Hongxia trembled all over, she was a little unsteady on her feet, she took a step back slightly, leaned half against the wall, shook her head and said, "No way.

It is absolutely impossible for my elder brother to let the second son walk alone.

He...he must be..."

"Sister Hongxia," Chi Yue opened his mouth and interrupted her, "Second Young Master is seriously injured, and there is no one around him. If Hongxia's elder brother is with Second Young Master, then I will definitely see him when we meet, but then I've looked around and there's no one else, maybe my sister's brother is still alive."

"But the Xingtian Pass..."

Xing Tianguan was slaughtered, so naturally her elder brother would not survive.

Chi became clearer about this matter, but Hongxia couldn't be sure.

"Sister, Second Young Master, me and my brothers all escaped from Xingtian Pass?"

Hongxia pulled up her sleeves to wipe away her tears, and looked at Chi Yue intently.

Four months of marching, eating and sleeping in the open air had made him dark and thin. When he arrived at the Meng Mansion, he was in such a mess that he almost lost his appearance, but Chi Yuetian grew up beautifully, and his water-cut pupils were so beautiful that no one could doubt it.

"But..." Hongxia choked on her sobs, and she couldn't help crying.

"Sister, why don't you ask Da Furen to send someone to look for it?"

Hongxia shook her head: "Something happened to the second young master, Eldest Madam... How can Eldest Madam care about me and Eldest Brother..."

"Didn't the eldest lady just order people to look for Master Hong? Why not let them look for the eldest brother of my sister? Since the eldest brother is the servant of the second son, shouldn't it be clearer why the second son was seriously injured? The eldest lady will definitely I want to get to the bottom of it.”

Hongxia froze for a moment, and murmured carefully: "Yes, yes, yes, Da Furen will want to know.

I'm going to tell the eldest lady..."

"Sister, don't think I'm too talkative, I can't discuss this matter with Da Furen for the time being."

"Huh? Why?"

"The second young master has an accident, but the attendants around him are nowhere to be found. They failed to protect the Lord and Savior. The eldest lady is afraid that she will blame her elder brother, and she may even blame her sister. Why don't you find him first and find out what's going on?" Discuss the words and then plead guilty to the eldest lady."

"Yes, that's good."

Hongxia wiped away her tears, she didn't dare to show joy on her face, but her eyes were already bright, "Thank you..."

"Sister, call me Xiao Wu."

"Okay, Little Five.

My sister will remember your kindness. "

Chi Yue smiled: "Where is my sister, I didn't do anything.

But I do have one thing, I want to ask my sister. "

"What?" Hongxia just asked, and immediately thought of it, "Do you want to stay in the Meng Mansion?"

Chi Yue nodded: "There is a lot of chaos outside, I hope my sister will rescue me."

As Chi Yue said, he was about to kneel down to Hongxia, but Hongxia stretched out her hand to stop him: "Don't worry, Xiao Wu, you are doing Meng's family a favor by escorting Second Young Master back to the mansion, so naturally you must arrange it properly."

Just now Hongxia said that he would remember his favor, but he said that he didn't do anything, he didn't recognize the favor, if he did, Hongxia was willing to help him, and if he stayed in the mansion, he would pay it back.

The first "sister" raised Hongxia's identity, and now she knelt down to beg Hongxia, so that she could owe Hongxia a big favor, so obediently flattering her, Hongxia naturally understood.

"Thank you sister."

In the face of the eldest lady, there are many people who flatter Hongxia, and most of them would not take it seriously, but at this juncture, Hongxia has been restless for many days, and Chi Yue "prescribed the right medicine", of course, it was easy to catch.

After nightfall, the second steward personally came to deliver dinner to Qi Xiao and the others. He was polite to them, saying that the current situation was turbulent, and there were many people coming and going in and out of the mansion. Thinking that the four of them were very skilled, they wanted to keep them I feel wronged to be a nursing home for a while.

Qi Xiao and the others happily agreed, and thanked the second steward a thousand times. The second steward didn't even mention Hongxia, and was happy to be thanked by them for taking the credit. Maybe they will be called upon in the future.

Yu Ran sent the second manager away, and after seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, he closed the door and came back: "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

Not only did they stay, but they were still in the nursing home. It would be much easier to move around in the mansion. Chi Yue could also talk to Hongxia, and the rest of the matter would be much easier.

The food delivered by the second steward was obviously better than the previous few days. There were meat, vegetables and soup. Qi Xiao glanced at Chi Yue, moved his chopsticks first, and said with a smile, "Let's eat."

Chi Yue bent his eyebrows at Qi Xiao and smiled: "It's been a long time since I had a good meal, so I won't be polite."

Yu Ran hadn't gotten used to Chi Yue being the same size as Qi Xiao, so he took and put down the chopsticks in his hand, wanting to wait for Qi Xiao to finish eating first, but he couldn't make it too obvious, so he took a sip of tea and asked, "After we What to do?"

Qi Xiao said: "Don't be in a hurry, we have to wait for Master Hong to make a scene."

Lord Hong didn't make it up by Chi Yue just to deceive the eldest lady, but there was a real person, but there was also such a thing as "murder and robbery".

After Chen Jun broke through Jialin Pass and Xingtian Pass, Qi Xiao led people to attack several cities and states by surprise, causing wars and chaos in the northern border. However, the court of Qi State didn't care about helping the refugees at all, and soon some people gathered, from refugees to bandits, Hong Ye was just one of them.

Those rogues are ordinary people, and they can't make a big deal, not to mention the regular army of Qi State, or the local Xiang army, the government's yamen servants are enough to send them away.

Qi Xiao's people had already mixed in with the refugees and secretly arranged for them to unite and form a rebel army. The people in Luzhou and Xianzhou had been suffering from severe drought for three years, and the banner of the uprising was raised high.

Yu Ran said again: "We don't have enough information in the Meng Mansion, and we don't know what's going on outside."

Chi Yue gnawed on the chicken leg, and really didn't want to be polite to Qi Xiao, he swallowed it, and then responded to Yu Ran: "The lady has already sent someone to investigate, and there will be news in two or three days."

Yu Ran looked at Chi Yue, and then at Qi Xiao cautiously.

Chi Yue even dared to snatch the chicken legs. His Highness Ninth Prince seemed to be very tolerant. He shouldn't make His Highness unhappy by asking too many questions.

"Since you want to help Lord Hong revolt, why do you let the Meng family think that Meng Jing was killed by Hong Ye? The lady wants to avenge Meng Jing. If the Meng family sends troops to suppress it, how can Hong Ye's grass-roots team defeat the Xiang army?" ?”

"It is to send troops to the Meng family.

Only by adding fuel to the fire can the firewood burn more vigorously. "

Chi Yue even gnawed away the bones of the chicken legs, and said to Yu Ran: "Lord Hong just has the strength to fight, and he may not be able to do it in a fierce fight. It's just empty air. It's not enough to lead an uprising. If you want to kill the lady, just kill her.

It is enough for Da Furen to kill Master Hong for revenge, and for the Meng family to make military achievements, it is enough to kill Master Hong alone.

But once the Qin family uses the Xiang army, the officials will force the people to rebel, and the public will inevitably become agitated before they can really become chaotic. "

Qi Xiao laughed, and Tang Ling had already thought of the catchphrase: Violent Qi will not live long, and Heaven will conquer without justice.
