This smile fell in Meng Renji's eyes, showing neither satisfaction nor dissatisfaction with him.

It's really ambiguous.

"General?" Qicheng asked for instructions.

Qiao Qiancheng said: "After a fight, I'm a little hungry. Let's clean up and collect some firewood for the fire. Let's make pancakes and sleep here tonight."

"No!" Qicheng happily ran down the ridge of the small slope and happily started dragging the dead soldier's body to the other side of the small slope.

When Chu Cun saw this, he said to Meng Renji, "Sir, my servants should also go and clean up. Young master, please rest."

"Okay." Meng Renji nodded.

Chu Cun stood up and walked to the nearest corpse, bent down and dragged the masked man in black by his feet, followed Qicheng, and moved the corpse to the windward side of the small slope.

Several corpses were dragged out quickly.

The two of them picked up some dead branches nearby that could be burned and returned to where they stayed.

The place they chose to stay was at the lee of the small slope. The wind was blocked by the small slope and could not reach them, so the fire was easily ignited.

The fire was lit and when it was burning vigorously, Qicheng took out the dry food he had prepared, including four large and round sesame cakes.

Meng Renji took the sesame seed cake from Qicheng's hand, and the tentacles were tied tightly. This reminded him of the difficult years when he was growing up in Zhuangzi, the western suburbs, when even such a sesame seed cake was his extravagant wish.

He put it in his mouth and took a bite without moving.

When I took it out, I couldn't even see his teeth marks on the sesame cake.

Chu Cun quickly took out the vegetarian steamed buns he had bought in Daxing County. He did not buy meat steamed buns. This was the same reason as Qicheng only prepared vegetarian pancakes. Meat would not last long, but vegetarian vegetables would.

He handed the buns to Meng Renji: "Sir, would you like to eat the buns?"

Meng Renji shook his head, then put the stone-hard sesame biscuits into his mouth, bit hard without saying a word, and bit off a piece before smiling: "I can eat sesame biscuits. When I was young, in a village in the western suburbs, I was often eaten by It was common for my mother in Zhuangzi to go without water for two or three days. Whenever I felt really hungry, I would sneak into the kitchen to look for something to eat. But most of the time, the kitchen was occupied. It was so clean that you couldn’t even see the sesame seeds on the sesame cakes. So in order to fill my stomach and survive, I had no choice at the time, so I dug out the residue in the swill bucket. I ate them all. .The smell...ah, I still can’t forget it.”

"Son..."

"With the help of my eldest sister, I finally returned to the Meng Mansion in the city this year. The delicious food and drinks in the past few months not only made my stomach sick, but also damaged my teeth. It has been polished, but it was still in the village in the past. I have to hide at least half of such a round and big sesame cake. When my mother gets into trouble again and doesn't give me anything to eat or drink, it is my life-saving food."

As if he didn't hear Chu Cun's suppressed voice, and didn't seem to feel the burning gazes of Qiao Qiancheng and Qicheng. Meng Renji talked to himself, speaking calmly, with no words in his mouth. I forgot to chew that small piece of sesame seed cake.

The dead branches were burned with a crackling sound.

This sound seemed to wake him up.

He asked Chu Cun: "How many buns are there?"

"There are eight left." Chu Cun replied.

"The buns are delicious only when they are fresh. Take them out and share them," Meng Renji ordered.

Four people, exactly two per person.

Qiao Qiancheng was not polite, and Qicheng was naturally not polite either. Chu Cun wanted to leave it to Meng Renji. Chu Cun said: "Master, the eldest lady ordered me to take good care of you."

"Yaoyao wants you to take good care of me because I want you to save my life. As for such small things as daily food, you don't have to worry too much." After Meng Renji said this, he solemnly ordered , "From now on, you just need to remember that as long as you can keep me from starving to death, there is nothing I can't eat. Do you understand?"

Chu Cun was stunned for a while: "...No."

The dead branches were burned again and made continuous crackling sounds.

Qiao Qiancheng has sesame cakes in one hand and steamed buns in the other, and the conversation between the master and the servant beside him is delicious. The more he eats, the more delicious it becomes.

Qicheng saw his general's slightly moved expression, and then looked at the second son of the Meng family who continued to fight against the sesame seeds. His impression of Meng Renji quietly changed.

In Hanxi Palace, Li Heng's face turned pale: "You said Qiao Qian Chengzhen set off with Meng Renji? And helped Meng Renji kill six of my dead men?"

Fu Yan was ordered to arrange for the dead men to chase and kill Meng Renji in the direction of Daxing. Because he failed to kill Meng Renji at night last time, he sent the dead men from the capital to chase Meng Renji this time. He specially increased the number of dead men to six. indivual.

Unexpectedly, I still didn’t succeed!
Fortunately, this time, there is a reason.

Fu Yan replied: "Yes."

"It seems that my guess is good. My good prince, the third emperor brother, really refuses to let go of any road." Li Heng almost said this through gritted teeth, "Even General Zhennan has to fight with I fight!"

Shimo stayed aside obediently and saw a young chamberlain waving to him outside the palace. He glanced at Li Heng's back, quietly took two steps back, walked around behind the table, and quickly walked out to His Highness.

When he came back, he hurriedly reported: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came out of the imperial study. He was helped out by Chang Qing!"

"Help?" Li Heng noticed something strange in the East Palace. When he went to the Imperial Study Room to see the emperor this morning, he unexpectedly spotted Li Shou in the Imperial Study Room.

In the end, he didn't meet his father.

However, we also learned from this that the prince was in the imperial study, and the atmosphere inside was very tense.

Although he didn't hear any movement, from the morning until now, it was enough for him to find out that their father, for some unknown reason, suddenly became very angry with the prince.

And now the prince was being helped out...

"Is there a chariot?" he asked.

Shimofu said: "No."

"Being able to be helped out by Chang Qing shows that the prince was punished by his father to kneel down, and he knelt for a long time. However, his father unexpectedly did not give him a chariot..." Li Heng said as he thought about it until the end. , he showed a smile, "No matter what the reason is, it is really not easy to teach the father to be really angry at the prince."

In the twenty years he had grown up in the palace, he had never seen such a scene many times.

Fu Yan and Shi Mo looked at each other, both secretly feeling happy in their hearts.

Fortunately, the news tonight was both good and bad. Otherwise, as His Highness's personal bodyguards, they would have had to suffer a lot and suffer some physical hardship.

Li Heng was in a very good mood at the moment, so he happily changed his mind: "Since the Second Young Master Meng is protected by General Qiao, the matter of taking his life will be put aside for the time being. When the Second Young Master Meng really enters the Lingnan territory with General Qiao, Enter the Zhennan Army stationed in Lingnan, and then make other arrangements to take their lives."
