King's Landing [Rebirth]

Mu Xi left the Chen brothers' low table and went to look for Jiang Shengxue. The girl was still sad about what happened just now, her eyes were red, and Mu Xi felt uncomfortable.

On the contrary, Mei Zhenghan looked indifferent and said a lot of words to comfort Jiang Shengxue.Mu Xi sat down next to the two of them, Jiang Shengxue saw her come over and put away her emotions, and after Mu Xi and Mei Zhenghan said a few words, she said: "Sister Mu, brother said that Miss Yan helped him just now, and I and Mei Zhenghan Ms. Yan is inconvenient to come forward either because of relatives or reasons, so please take me to thank her."

There was only one Ms. Yan in the whole hall, and Mu Xi looked towards Yan Qingqing with some surprise, because she had spoken out to help the Chen family brothers just now, but now the wives and ladies would not come forward, for fear of causing trouble .She doesn't feel awkward in the position alone, and she tastes fresh fruits and pastries, very leisurely.

Mu Xi has no impression of Yan Qingqing, only knows that she is a well-known talented woman with the ability of photographic memory.She came here on behalf of her father this time, except for socializing on the surface, she didn't do much in private. It was really surprising that she was willing to help speak.

On Mei Zhenghan's side, Mu Xi didn't have much to say. Jiang Shengxue's suggestion was good. Mu Xi agreed and took Jiang Shengxue to the left side to choose a position.The two of them walked to Yan Qingqing's side to say hello, knowing that there was no one around Yan Qingqing, they sat down together.After Mu Xi and Yan Qingqing exchanged a few words of greeting, Jiang Shengxue interjected into their conversation at the right time.

The love between girls came in a few words, Mei Zhenghan smiled when he saw that Jiang Shengxue was no longer bothering about the matter just now, and felt a little more at ease.

On the other hand, Liang Jian beside him had been silent since just now, holding a wine glass in his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking.The people around wanted to come up to him to make friends with him, but they all backed away when they saw his expression.

Mei Zhenghan sighed in his heart. He knew that Liang Jian would definitely not be able to swallow the bad breath just now, but he endured it because he didn't want to hurt the eldest princess.Why didn't Mei Zhenghan want to confront Di Minghao face-to-face, but every sentence in that way would be heartbreaking, and even if Di Minghao was punished in the end, it would not be able to soothe the grief in the eldest princess' heart.

Mei Zhenghan doesn't ask for anything else, she just hopes that the first year with her family can be finished well.

"Brother, if you're unhappy, I'll go out with you for a walk. The banquet will start in a while." Mei Zhenghan held Liang Jian's hand holding the glass, took the glass out of his hand, and met his gaze , smiled and said: "Don't be angry, I'm not angry. What's the point of fussing with this kind of person, if you feel bad all day because of him, it's not worth it."

Liang Jian rubbed Mei Zhenghan's hair, Mei Zhenghan didn't care about it but he felt distressed.People like Di Minghao are arrogant and self-indulgent, and they are used to being lawless in their own territory.Liang Jian can't do anything about Mei Zhenghan, but it doesn't mean that Liang Jian will let it go.

The person who hurt him still wants to clean up, dreaming.

"I'll listen to you, don't be angry. I'll take you to meet General Mu and the eldest princess. I haven't talked to them much in the past few meetings. Although today is a special day, I can't say anything, but it's always inappropriate not to say hello. .”

The eldest princess and Mu Cheng had a lot of people to socialize with, so it was a bit awkward to come alone.Liang Jian put aside what happened just now, and pulled Mei Zhenghan to get up to meet the eldest princess and Mu Cheng.

The eldest princess was talking to Shan Chongfei, when she saw the two of them approaching, she paused, feeling a little nervous.Mei Zhenghan is wearing the clothes prepared by Mu Xi today, the style and tailoring are very suitable for the age temperament, and the hairband with broken light is a little more agile.Young Master Lang Pianpian, his blue eyes are as soft as water, making his handsome and rigid features less ostentatious, more gentle and restrained.

The eldest princess was both gratified and sad. She was gratified that Mei Zhenghan's outstanding temperament did not disappoint her and Mu Cheng. The sad thing was that he had to find his own way out when he could have a good life.

Shan Chongfei also saw the two of them, he greeted Mei Zhenghan and was about to take someone to drink, Liang Jian stopped him in time and looked like he had something to say, Shan Chongfei shifted his thoughts to on him.Mei Zhenghan smiled at Liang Jian, and looked up at the Eldest Princess in front of her.

It wasn't the first time he met the eldest princess, but he didn't know the truth in the past, but now he was in a different mood and didn't know what to say.The eldest princess stared at him, her eyes were tender and full of love.Mei Zhenghan's heart warmed when she saw her, this was his mother, a real person, not a vague shadow in a dream.

The thousands of words between mother and child are all in this silent gaze, and there are too many things they want to say to each other.

Seeing this, Liang Jian dragged Shan Chongfei to meet Mu Cheng, and left the place for the mother and son.

Mu Cheng was talking to Fu Kun. Fu Ling bumped into Mu Xi that day and was severely injured by Mu Xi. He didn't attend the palace banquet today. Fu Kun apologized to Mu Cheng on his behalf.Mu Cheng Dadu didn't care too much, he just asked Fu Kun to discipline his grandson well.

Speaking of Fu Ling and Mu Cheng talking about Fu Yun, what he was talking about was not what she was taught by Mu Xi before, but seeing her standing with Tang Wanyi from Shecheng and casually remarking that the relationship between the two of them is so good.

Fu Kun didn't know that Mu Cheng's words had deep meaning, and he was very useful.Tang Yeyu, the lord of She City, is his protégé, and he took this position only at his suggestion, so he is naturally loyal to him.And his daughter Tang Wanyi grew up with Fu Yun. Fu Kun intends to get closer and wants Tang Wanyi to marry his grandson Fu Ling.

He also made it clear to Tang Yeyu that Tang Yeyu didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either.

"Speaking of which, I didn't see City Lord Tang, but he was the only one missing." Fu Kun looked around the hall and didn't see Tang Yeyu, feeling something was wrong. Tang Wanyi was here, so why wasn't he there?

Mu Cheng said with deep meaning: "Master Fu, there is no need to look for it. The emperor has something to discuss with City Lord Tang, so he is not in the hall."

Fu Kun's face darkened and he didn't ask any further questions. He just thought it was the emperor's whim and didn't care, but he was dissatisfied that Tang Yeyu didn't tell him.

Fu Kun didn't care, but Liang Jian who came over was lost in thought, playing with the wine glass in his hand and showing a playful smile.Mu Cheng mentioned these things seemingly inadvertently, but each sentence was very meaningful.Fu Yun has been in Wangcheng for many years and has handed over countless handkerchiefs, but only Tang Wanyi is the most special.

Being special means that she will become Fu Yun's most powerful competitor.

Could it be... Liang Jian's eyes flashed, he glanced at Mu Cheng twice, smiled and said nothing.Fu Kun thought he was safe, but he didn't know that he would be stabbed in the back.

Because of Mu Cheng's relationship, many courtiers and city lords gathered here. Du Ping, who came in with Fu Kun just now, stared at Liang Jian for a while, then put on his usual smile and squeezed to his side to toast him with a glass of wine, apologizing. Said: "I have been in Wangcheng for so long and I haven't been able to visit the commander in the post, and I haven't been able to help today. Please don't be surprised by the commander."

Liang Jian glanced at him, as if he didn't understand his temptation, and said calmly: "It's okay, what Brother Xu explained is important. You have always done things properly, and this time you are here on behalf of Jiangcheng, so don't let Brother Xu down. If you don’t go back to Jiangcheng today, the commander-in-chief will always be replaced, so you should still call me the city master in the future, so as not to be misunderstood.”

Liang Jian's voice was faint, with no ups and downs, but Du Ping couldn't help but be terrified.Liang Jian looked at him as if he knew everything, and the smile on his face froze.

Shan Chongfei on the side chimed in and said, "That's right, no matter what his identity was before, he is now the city lord. He also said that you are doing things properly, why don't you even know what you call him."

Du Ping secretly grumbled in his heart, and quickly apologized with a smile: "I was the one who was pulled up by the commander-in-chief, and I feel very reluctant to give up the commander-in-chief, so it is inevitable that there is some nostalgia in my words. I was negligent, and please don't be offended by the city lord. "

Du Ping changed his address in time and found an explanation for himself. Liang Jian looked at him with a smile, his deep eyes were like fine black pearls, shining brightly.If it hadn't been for a new life, Liang Jian might really have believed Du Ping's words, thinking that Du Ping was really loyal because of his promotion.

Xu Liangchuan's pawns beside him were so calm, it really made him very bitter to be deceived.

Seeing that Liang Jian's face softened and he didn't mean to blame, Du Ping said again: "We were all very worried when the city lord was taken away by the black crow in the past, so this time I met you in Wangcheng and I took the initiative to send the news back. I think they have already received it. , and please forgive me, the city lord, for me to cut first and play later."

There was nothing wrong with Du Ping's words, but because the mention of the black crow was particularly eye-catching, all the surrounding eyes were attracted.The name of the black crow has also been heard in the court, and it is notorious for its ruthless killing of the whole family.Chaotang was also troubled by this, and sent troops many times without success.

Mu Cheng left Fu Kun, turned around and asked Liang Jian, "When did you get involved with the black crow?"

Before Liang Jian could answer, Di Hai on the side said, "General Mu didn't know something. Half a year ago, the black crow suddenly attacked Jiangcheng at night, and Xu Liangchuan was seriously injured because of it. The Liang City Lord in front of you was also taken away by the black crow. Unknown. Xu Liangchuan sent people to investigate around, and even contacted the city lords around us to help find it, but failed. We all felt that there was no good luck at the time. Yi, won’t you be afraid of God’s punishment if you repay him like this?”

As soon as Di Hai's words came out, there was an uproar, and everyone looked at Liang Jian in surprise, because it had never been heard that anyone could escape from the black crow.Some people lamented Liang Jian's high martial arts skills, while others noticed Di Hai's last questioning and felt puzzled.For a moment, everyone had different thoughts in their hearts, and someone stared at Liang Jian in the dark, with a look of surprise and confusion in their eyes.

Liang Jian was not surprised by Di Hai's words. In fact, these were all in his expectation. He would only feel troubled if Di Hai or Du Ping didn't mention them.

"City Master Di, I know that you have always disliked me. In the past | when you went to Jiangcheng as a guest, you gave me a lot of embarrassment. I don't want to conflict with you because of Brother Xu's face, and I choose to avoid you every time. Now Brother Xu is not here , You have been sowing discord between me and him, what is your intention?"

Liang Jian asked in a deep voice, with an angry look on his face, and seemed very dissatisfied with Di Hai's words.

Someone around shouted, and said: "It turns out that there is still such a rift between City Master Liang and City Master Di. No wonder City Master Di and Mr. Di have been making trouble for him from the beginning."

The person who spoke was Wang Boyang, who is also the city lord of the Jiangnan area, and his status is no worse than that of Di Hai.When he said this, everyone's expressions were different.Some people whispered that Di Hai was jealous, and couldn't see Liang Jian being good.

Di Hai held back his anger for not taking advantage, and said angrily, "Liang Jian, don't talk nonsense, I just feel worthless for Xu Liangchuan. Since you managed to escape from the black crow, why didn't you go back to find him? He runs around for you."

When Di Hai said the key point, everyone became curious. Wang Boyang's eyes were full of inquiry, and he stared at Liang Jian wondering what he was thinking.

Liang Jian sneered and said, "Who told you that I escaped from the black crow? In fact, I don't know what happened. At that time, there were only me and brother Xu in the small Buddhist hall. He didn't like to be disturbed by outsiders when he was fasting. So the patrolling soldiers are all outside, and the food delivery person can't stay for long. I went to the kitchen to look for food because I was reading late in the room and missed the meal. It happened that the cook was going to deliver the food for Brother Xu. I asked me to go for a walk if I had nothing to do. It was raining heavily that day, and the sky was dark. Du Ping and Fan Tong were on patrol. I also warned them to be careful, because the sound of the rain would cover up many noises. Who knows what happened? ..."

Liang Jian looked a little sad when she said this, her fingers trembled slightly, as if recalling something terrible, her face showed pain.Shan Chongfei patted his shoulder beside him before he came back to his senses, and continued: "I drank a little wine with brother Xu that day, and I felt a little unhappy when I thought about my parents, brother Xu comforted me Don't be too sad. And the black crow sneaked into the mansion at that time, the rain was too loud and the sound was covered up, and the outside rescue never came in. Brother Xu and I fought a bloody road. When we left, he said that there was something he didn't bring back to get it. I waited outside for a while and saw that there was no movement, I knew something was wrong and rushed in immediately, and then I didn’t know anything.”

Liang Jian laughed self-deprecatingly: "There are still people in the Buddhist hall, but I was plotted against before I saw it clearly. When I woke up, I was no longer in the City Lord's Mansion, not even in a place I was familiar with. There was no one around, Xu The saber that my elder brother gave me also disappeared. I walked along the official road to a populated place. When I met someone who asked me, I realized that I was already in the west of Yunnan. I had no money and could not go back to the south of the Yangtze River. I took over missions in the Jianghu in western Yunnan... I wrote letters to Big Brother Xu, but when I met Du Ping a few days ago, I realized that those letters never reached Big Brother Xu."

In Liang Jian's last sentence, she completely wiped herself out, and pointed her finger at Du Ping again.Everyone looked over in unison, Du Ping's back was soaked in a layer of cold sweat, as long as you went to the post office to check the letter, there would be traces, since Liang Jian said there was, then there really was, he couldn't lie about it , had no choice but to nod to admit what Liang Jian said was true.

Everyone couldn't help sighing, Di Hai scolded Liang Jian as a wolf, but in fact Liang Jian didn't forget Xu Liangchuan.After all, it is not very honorable to mention this matter, and everyone did not continue to ask, but you just sighed and covered it hastily.

Di Hai snorted coldly and walked away, Liang Jian watched him leave with a smile on his face, then turned to Du Ping beside him and said, "Du Ping, do you know what brother Xu wanted to go back to get regardless of his safety? "

Du Ping was taken aback for a moment, he thought of the smashed Avalokitesvara statue in the Buddhist hall, and his eyes showed horror.

Seeing his appearance, Liang Jian knew that he had guessed it, so she left a meaningful smile and turned to leave.

Behind Liang Jian, Wang Boyang, who was watching the whole process, had a strange expression on his face, and muttered in a low voice: "This son is really in serious trouble. Sooner or later, I will be tricked into unspeakable misery by him."
