Chapter 12
It has been more than half a month since Ruan Fu returned to Beijing after punishing Nanny Wen on that day. After that day, Nanny Wen was removed from the post of the backyard steward, and was replaced by a middle-aged person who was promoted again by the Wen family. Madam, but since that incident happened, the people in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion did not show any disrespect to Ruan Fu at the beginning, but when they saw Ruan Fu, they respectfully called Miss, and the first On the second day, Wen's also asked someone to bring some people from outside for her to choose. Among these people, no matter how Ruan Fu chooses, there will always be someone from Wen's in the end, but Ruan Fu doesn't care. After leaving behind six cleaning maids and two women, Tsing Yi trained them and placed them in the yard. However, no one could approach her house except Tsing Yi and Pan Xia. The neat kung fu blocked the rattan of Wen Nuo and Pan Xia's superb whip, which made everyone dare not to do anything wrong with Ruan Fu, at least, on the bright side.

Ruan Shu was also released naturally. After three days of punishment, she copied a hundred copies of the "Ritual Training". She didn't come to trouble Ruan Fu right away, but what happened in the Right Prime Minister's mansion that day made her really re-examine Ruan Fu.

In this way, after returning to Beijing, Ruan Fu, who finally stopped after all these years of busyness, was more relaxed. Since that day, Ruan Mingxuan has come to Qianyunju several times. The tall and tall image has been deeply rooted in the little boy's heart, and the younger brother's respect for the eldest sister has unconsciously melted into his heart. The Chunfang Courtyard where Ruan Mingxuan and Li Shi originally lived has also bought more, and the environment is better. A little bit, but maybe because there are still some unfamiliar relationships, he just picks a few of the best flowers from the Chunfang Courtyard and gives them to Panxia, ​​and then runs back without waiting for anything to say. .

Just at this time, holding some peach blossoms that Ruan Mingxuan hurried over to give to Ruan Fu, Pan Xia was a little startled when he saw his running away quickly, but she held the peach blossoms that were in full bloom with a smile on her face. Yan Peach Blossom returned to Ruan Fu's room, and held up the peach blossom in her hand to Ruan Fu who was flipping through the book, "Miss, look."

Ruan Fu looked up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Did Xiaoxuan bring it here again?"

Pan Xia put the peach blossoms in a vase beside it, and several other flowers had already been inserted in it, and one of the magnolias was blooming just right, Ruan Fu's eyes rested on that magnolia for a long time, and said leisurely, "Maybe, These flowers are the best things that Xiaoxuan gave me in Chunfang Court today."

Pan Xia didn't hear clearly, and turned around, "What are you talking about, Miss?"

Ruan Fu shook his head, looked at the sky outside, the spring was just right, and said with a smile, "I've been in the capital for so long, I should go out for a walk."

After saying that, Tsing Yi had already appeared beside Ruan Fu, and Pan Xia's eyes lit up.

In the west of Yongjia City, there is an ordinary courtyard with two entrances. This courtyard is probably less than one-tenth of the courtyard of Youxiang Mansion. This place is also rarely visited by people. However, outside this courtyard, However, they guarded a few guards who looked extremely powerful. This situation has been maintained for four or five years.

The quiet and peaceful small courtyard, under the afterglow of the setting sun, looks quiet and peaceful, everything is quiet, as if no one lives there.

In the yard, in a room, the lights were already lit at the time of the setting sun. An elderly man brought a tray in his hand into the lit study room. Behind the desk, he was sitting A man who looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, with a childish face, but unexpectedly peaceful, was writing hard.

The old man put the food on the table beside him, "My lord, it's time to eat."

The young man put down the pen in his hand and stood up, "There is Uncle Lao Huai."

The old man's face was kind and he didn't say anything. After eating two or three mouthfuls of food, the young man seemed to feel that the food was tasteless, so he put down his chopsticks again. Seeing this, Uncle Huai had no choice but to comfort him, "Is your son still worried about the situation in the middle school? "

The young man frowned slightly, and his childish brows were full of worry, "I haven't heard from the middle school for half a month, Uncle Huai, I'm really worried..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a slight noise. Uncle Huai, who was standing at the side, immediately became alert. He walked outside in two or three steps, but saw three young masters appearing in this place at some time. In the yard.

Just now he was still talking about the middle school with the prince, but now, he is sure that he must have been heard. Immediately, a murderous intent rose in his eyes, and he went directly to the three of them and growled, "Who are you?"

The three sons are all young and handsome teenagers, one of them is dressed in Tsing Yi, with a calm expression, holding a green sword in his hand, one has a childish face, his eyes are like purple grapes, and the other is dressed in white, with a gentle and calm face. It is with an aura that is not obvious, but it is unknowingly that there is a sense of coercion.

Uncle Huai's forward movement was easily separated by the young man holding the green sword. In an instant, the two had already fought in the courtyard. The young man is poor.

But for a while, there was no winner between the two.

Seeing this, the young man snorted, "Uncle Huai, the other party has no malicious intentions!"

Hearing this sound, Uncle Huai and the young man with the green sword retreated together and landed separately.

Although the son said so, Uncle Huai was still worried, the young man looked at the three of them, his expression slightly restrained, "I don't know who the three are, but what advice do you have for coming to my mansion at this moment?"

The corners of the young man's lips twitched slightly, "The prince has already done his best for the current situation of Xiyue, and he doesn't think about eating and drinking. I want to help a group of princes."

Hearing this, Xia Houshu, who had lived in Yongjia City for five years as the proton of Xiyue, had a look of shock in his eyes, and the young man in white smiled faintly, "My lord, please—"

After all, he had already entered the study room that was already lit.

Xia Houshu had already looked at the three people in front of him for nearly half a cup of tea, and finally, under the calm expression of the other party, he finally said, "I don't know the three of you, what advice do you have? How do I know, I am worried?"

The enemy is strong and we are weak, and there is no initiative at all. Since Xia Houshu has been the proton of Xiyue for five years, he will not fail to recognize the situation in front of him.

The young man took a sip of tea slowly, looked at Xia Houshu who was still on guard, and said, "Could it be that the unrest on the border between Beiyan and Chen Kingdom is not the work of the prince?"

Xia Houshu couldn't believe it for a moment. After all, only his father, the current master of Xiyue, knew about this matter, but... why?
Looking at Xia Houshu's shocked appearance, the young man shook his head with a smile, "Although the son's plan is very good, he can come up with such a method, which shows his wisdom, but how can he not understand the truth of the dead lips and teeth? The son wants to save the precarious man. The old Xiyue thought of misfortune leading Chen Guo and Beiyan to buy time for Xiyue to relax, but the prince has never thought about what kind of situation Xiyue will face once Beiyan reacts? "

Xia Houshu hadn't recovered from the shock, but hearing the words of the young man in white, he burst out, "Beiyan will annex Xiyue!"

The young man in white nodded, "The law of the jungle can't be simpler, the son is a smart man!"

Xia Houshu stared at the calm man in white in front of him, "Who are you?"

The man in white looked at the 12-year-old boy in front of him peacefully, without delay, "My surname is Meng."

Hearing this, Xia Houshu stood up abruptly, looked at the appearance and attire of the three of them, with shock in his expression, "Meng Changqing! You are Meng Changqing, a famous man in the world!"

Compared with Xia Houshu's excitement and unbelievability, Meng Changqing seemed much calmer, with a peaceful expression, and with a slight smile, he continued, "Xiyue is originally a Western nation. The heart of Zhuolu Central Plains a hundred years ago, after a hundred years I think the turmoil in the country has stopped a lot. I understand the wish of the son to preserve the core of the nation. Therefore, for so many years, Xiyue has been doing nothing and doing something, and the son is even more willing to come to Chen Kingdom as a pawn. , in the hope that Chen Kingdom can provide assistance to Xiyue."

Xia Houshu heard Meng Changqing's calm and calm words, and had already reacted from the shock, but at this moment, his heart was extremely excited. Meng Changqing's name, in this world, anyone with a little knowledge would know who it is. It turned out to be five years ago, and within three months, it subdued Jiaozhi who wanted to invade the Central Plains at one stroke, which caused shock in the world. Then, within half a year, the Southern Wu Kingdom and Eastern Chu were ordered to stop fighting. It is said that two years ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty The handwriting of Meng Changqing is also indispensable for proclaiming Chen Guo, but no one in the world knows who Meng Changqing is, who is this Mr. Meng who wanders in the divided countries of the Central Plains and has no position, and what is his position? ...

Meng Changqing's name and footnotes have traveled all over the Central Plains countries. Everyone knows the dignitaries of these countries. However, Meng Changqing's actions are not organized. It seems that he will help everyone. It seems that he dares to oppose everyone. People don't know what he is going to do at all. Xia Houshu really couldn't imagine that Meng Changqing would appear at this time, and even find himself at this time, and because this person is Meng Changqing, it also made him want to change the situation in Xiyue in front of him. Talk to him.

Therefore, after hearing Meng Changqing's words, Xia Houshu, who hadn't reacted from the shock, said with a little sadness, "Xiyue has long since lost its ambition to dominate the Central Plains. Now the Kingdom of Chen is the strongest, followed by Nanhua, and Beiyan is brave. However, Beiyan is unpopular with the people, and Nanhua has lost its former glory since Meng's death. Chen Kingdom...Chen Kingdom now has King Jin and Chu King. This Central Plains will belong to Chen Kingdom sooner or later, but Xiyue has no way out. I can't retreat, Beiyan's greedy heart will not let Xiyue retreat safely."

Meng Changqing said, "Xiyue is adjacent to Beiyan, and most of the country is bordered by Beiyan. It is indeed a difficult problem."

Xia Houshu heard the words and stood up, "Mr. Meng is benevolent, righteous, and compassionate to the world. I ask Mr. Meng to help Xiyue. If Xiyue is safe, the whole country should repay it!"

A complicated smile flashed across Meng Changqing's expression, "If your son believes in me, he will stop his current actions on the border between Chen State and Beiyan. As long as Xiyue does not move, Chen State will not raise troops. I will protect Beiyan." Within three years, there will be no movement to Xiyue, and then, it depends on how the son finds a way to retreat safely."

When Xia Houshu heard the words, he couldn't believe it, "I don't know what you can do, my lord?"

Meng Changqing only uttered one word, "Shang!"

Xia Houshu was shocked when he heard the words, only to hear Meng Changqing say, "Northern Yan and the north rely on the grassland peoples, and the trade route can only go west through Xiyue. If this road wants to be safe, it has to be friendly with Xiyue. , Of course, this is an expedient measure, and any covenant will collapse if the benefits end." Therefore, when the trade route is no longer a threat, Beiyan will take action against Xiyue.

Behind the Meng family is the Mu family's business route, which also controls the business route going west through Xiyue.

Hearing this, Xia Houshu stood up again, looked solemnly at Meng Changqing, and respectfully performed the noble salute that a Central Plains person would give to a wise man.

Meng Changqing could do such a thing, but Xiyue couldn't.

 I feel like you can definitely guess who this is...
