Jiang Qing

In Lanwei Pavilion.

Mei Shao had been waiting in the pavilion for a long while before seeing a bright light getting off the carriage at the door.

Wearing bright clothes that he hadn't worn for a long time, Li An tried to cover up and went to a small stall on the side of the road to buy it. Then he pretended to ask the price, looked around, and then sneaked into the shop.

"Why, you stole something from Prince Cheng's mansion? You look so sneaky." Mei Shao raised her chin towards him, mocking his behavior mercilessly.

It wasn't until sitting opposite Mei Shao that Li An breathed a sigh of relief and scolded with a smile: "Is there anything I have to say today, so I can't take it easy? You know how much effort it took me to escape from the palace, and you still laugh at me."

"What? You need to be so sneaky in and out of your own palace?" Mei Shao asked with a bit of teasing in her words, "Or is it in another mansion?"

Li An heard the teasing meaning in his words, and gave him a hard look.

"I've never heard of anyone whose ankle is sprained for such a period of time and it doesn't heal. Prince Cheng's bow and horse are not bad, so you can't fail to see your tricks, right?"

Knowing that Mei Shao must have inquired about his movements for the past two months in secret, he only knew these things clearly, and Li An didn't want to argue with him, so he lazily lifted his robe and acquiesced to his statement .

"Ask knowingly." Li An bought himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Didn't you ask me to take the opportunity to get the jade document before you left?"

"What I said seems to be that the person and the jade document were collected together." Mei Shao deliberately teased him and asked, "How is the progress now?"

Li An raised his eyebrows, followed by raising his fox eyes, showing a bit of cunning, "The person I want to take action will naturally be captured. Although I got the jade document, I almost broke it. It's really not a big deal." A good bargain."

"Did you break someone, or break your heart?" Mei Shaoyi pointed out.

"I can't help it. I was not born with a good life, and I'm used to learning in Fengyue. I talk a lot, and I'm emotional. I don't want to put myself in it." A little bit appeared in Li An's eyes. With an indifferent and sad expression, "It's just that I have moved my mind a little so that he thinks I'm sincere."

Mei Shao took a look at the bright clothes that were rarely seen on his body, and realized that Li An had done a lot of work in this scene.

"I got the jade document, you can't break your promise to me." Li An concealed his fluctuating emotions just now, and said to Mei Shao: "Look at your official uniform,

You just came out of the palace not long ago, why, His Majesty allowed you to go north? "

"I'm asking for the position of the commander of the Pingdu garrison." Mei Shao quietly pushed the tea on the side, lest Li An react and splash himself in the face.

Slowly putting down the cup of tea that he had already drank, Li An forced a smile, "You...what did you say?"

He leaned forward slightly, staring at every change of expression on Mei Shao's face, until he realized that Mei Shao was not joking, then he slumped down on the chair, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked Mei Shao for a explain.

"When we first came to Pingdu, we agreed that you will avenge your old revenge and I will avenge my family. Why, there are too many things to do now?" Li An's voice trembled when he spoke.

In the third year of going south, Li An received a letter from Jiang Guoyu's family, and there was a severed wolf tooth attached to the letter. It was made from the first wolf that his father, former Xie En King Li Chengque killed when he was young. pendant.Since then, Li Chengque has been on his body all year round when galloping on the battlefield.

And the knife mark on the broken tooth is a snake-shaped knife that only the Li family can use. The Yu family is implying Li An that the person who killed his father was a member of the Li family, and the closest person around Li Chengque, It was his younger brother Li Chengji.

Recalling Li Chengji's various actions after his father's death, leading his army back to Yixian Valley in the name of mourning, and throwing his troops to Liangguo, Li An had to imagine that his father's death might be Li Chengji's conspiracy to become king.

Connecting with the Yu family, the head of the Yu family shared Li Chengji's information without hesitation. Among various witnesses and material evidence, Li An restored the situation back then.

Li Chengji was dissatisfied with being under the Li State, so he had a dispute with his father. During the battle with Liang State, Li Chengji, who was in charge of the backup army, did not send anyone to help his father when his father was exhausted. Returning to the camp exhausted, his younger brother lay in ambush on both sides, and personally chopped off his father's head with a snake-shaped knife that symbolized Li's glory, and broke the wolf teeth on his chest.

Li Chengji stepped on the blood of the old king and ascended to the throne of Jiang Guo.

[-]. Overnight, Li Ang changed from a foreign proton who left his hometown to a lone wolf who was burdened with hatred.But he originally only wanted to save his own life, and wanted to stay away from the turmoil of Pingdu, and just be a lonely wild guest in the cold city.

Who would have thought that Wanli's hatred spanned the entire Li country from north to south, and was laid out in front of his eyes with blood and nakedness, forcing him to face it squarely.

At that time, he finally understood the pain that Mei Shao had been obsessed with for many years. The two of them were like a lone wolf and a lonely tiger walking in the wilderness. , returned to Pingdu from Hancheng.

The motto given by the old monk of Qianfo Temple is not only for Mei Shao, but also for Li An.

The situation in Pingdu was treacherous, but from the moment they stepped out of the cold city, no one thought of turning back.

Now halfway through the journey, Mei Shao violated the original agreement between the two of them. Li An couldn't understand, and couldn't understand either.

"Is it because of Bai Bingchen?"

After waiting for a while, Mei Shao showed no sign of speaking, Li An couldn't help suppressing his anger and asked.

Mei Shao didn't seem to care about his situation at all, she lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Should... be it?"

Just because Li An is from Jiang Guo, it is impossible to tell Li An the truth about the past in Cangshan.But apart from this reason, what else can explain the change in his attitude towards Bai Bingchen now?

"Perhaps it's because you're so obsessed with sex?" His brain twitched, and he actually said the joke he was thinking.

As soon as these words came out, Li An felt his blood rushing, he held the corner of the table resentfully, the blue veins on his hands appeared, but he still kept his scruples on the outside, and gritted his teeth while suppressing his voice: "Mei Chongjin, do you really think I'm a fool? In the past, it was you who said that the old love can be let go, but now you are the one who said that the sex makes the mind faint! Are you crazy? For a Bai Bingchen, you don’t want to avenge the Mei family, don’t you want to avenge the bones? You kept saying back then, How to take advantage of the matter of the eldest princess to go to the left minister, how to set foot on the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, how to take the opportunity to go north after obtaining the military patrol map, and how to unite with the old ministry to return to Pingdu, who is the person!"

"What did you tell me at the beginning? You said that after you went north, you rebuilt the old department and I returned to Jiangguo. At this point, the cooperation is over! Now, I got the jade document according to your words, but you told me, you You have already put out your thoughts of revenge. Why, do you still naively think that Bai Bingchen will treat you like before, or naively think that Pingdu, the Hukou Longtan, is a place where you can rest easy and sleep soundly!"

The anger in Li An's eyes burst out at this moment, and his disguised kindness and prodigal temperament disappeared at this moment, replaced by hostility and cruelty all over his body.

He stretched out his hand, grabbed Mei Shao's skirt, and dragged him in front of him, with frost in his eyes and a smile on his lips, "Mei Chongjin, listen, we are the ones on the same road, this is not you If you say forget it, you can forget it, you better wake me up!"

"I'm more awake than ever." Mei Shao looked into his eyes, her voice was calm, but she didn't give in at all.

Just in the posture of being grabbed by the collar, Mei Shao didn't have the slightest intention of resisting, her whole body was extremely relaxed, she put her fingers on the corner of the table and tapped lightly, watching Li An's eyes slowly accumulate a smile, softly coaxing Said: "When you go back, you just want to kill Li Chengji?"

Looking down at the hand that was holding the collar slightly loosened, Mei Shao's smile deepened, "Are you willing to let the land of Jiang Country be handed over to the son of the enemy? Killing is indeed the most enjoyable way of revenge, but some people have You don't deserve to die so quickly, do you?"

His tone was flat, without the slightest turbulence, as if Li Chengji's life and death were just a thing in his hands, "Let's change the way of cooperation. You just need to promise me one request. I can make Li Chengji's head the same as Jiang Guo's entire country." Help you get it."

"When?" Li An let go and sat back on the chair, but didn't ask what the request was.

He was not as lazy as when he came, his whole body was wrapped in arrogance ready to go, and he glanced at Mei Shao who was refilling tea, with deep doubts in his eyes, "Chongjin, can I still trust you?"

"It's you who can only trust me. No one in the entire Li country is willing to let you go back to Jiang country except me." Mei Shao flicked the cup wall, and the crisp sound separated the distance between the two of them invisible.

"Before the end of the year, I will guarantee that you can return to Jiang Country, but it may require you to suffer a little bit." Mei Shao leaned over the tea cup, tapped the tea cup that Li An didn't pick up, and said with a smile: "So , I am anxious to find you today, because I want you to prepare in advance to go back."

Mei Shao's hand was still hanging in the air and did not let go. Li An looked at it for a while, then raised it perfunctorily and touched him, the doubt in his eyes was still there, but his complexion was much better than before.

"Then I will congratulate the prince in advance to fulfill his wish." Mei Shao didn't care about his deceitful behavior. She respected him from afar and took a sip of her tea. Some kind of decision was made in the dark, firm and arrogant, but a little bit of the pride of his youth.

He was about to get up to refill tea, but Li An held his wrist, and said impatiently, "You will never tell me nothing, let me wait for His Majesty's imperial decree in the mansion, and let me go back to Jianguo Bar?"

Seeing the ring on his hand, Mei Shao's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered the white jade ring that Bai Bingchen had been carrying all the time. The jade was delicate, just like him, delicate and gentle.

The corner of Mei Shao's mouth raised a gentle smile that he didn't even notice, and asked: "Why don't you tell me first, how did Yanfang persuade you to take me back to Hancheng?"
