There are many treasures in this country

After Shen Yan went back, the more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, and he secretly scolded Wei Lan, if he and Ruan Tong hadn't begged and complained, he would not have rescued Mei Qi rashly, and offended Xiao Suo because of it.

After thinking about it, what does it have to do with Xiao Suo to save Mei Qi?He kept saying that he had no affection for him all day long, so how could he be jealous?It can be seen that ruthlessness is false, but affection is true.Thinking of this, I couldn't help being happy again.

On Shishi, seeing him with a sad face at one moment, and a silly grin at another, he thought he was insane, and said worriedly, "Master, do you want Langzhong Ji to come and see it for you?"

"I'm in good health, what's wrong with me?" Shen Yan hung up the knife and strode out, "Prepare your horse and go to Honglu Temple."

Eleven hurriedly followed him, and ordered the boy to go to the stable to pull the horse.

The rain outside stopped for a while, and the weather became hotter and hotter, making it suffocating.

Mei Qi wiped the sweat from her forehead, the smile on her face gradually faded, her pupils dilated suddenly, and then gradually shrank, she twitched the corners of her mouth and asked, "Who did you listen to?" His fingers trembled slightly, "Where did this rumor come from?" Spread out?"

Xiao Suo watched him remain silent, Mei Qi suddenly sat up, glaring and said: "Who made the rumor, who is it?"

"The day before yesterday in the flower shop where the Dongying people lived in the western city, I caught an assassin who sneaked in. According to his confession, he came to look for you, you are his young master, and you are from Dongying." Xiao Suo said nonsense, deliberately lie to him.

Mei Qi laughed loudly, but her eyes were evasive, and she was speechless for a long time.

Xiao Suo asked persistently: "What is your purpose of coming here across the ocean? Why do you make friends with those high-ranking officials? What is your purpose and intention?"

"When did I cross the ocean?" Mei Qi retorted with one corner of her mouth hanging, "How can you believe what the assassin said?"

"You know Dongying, isn't it fake?" Xiao Suo didn't know if he had spoken Dongying in front of others, if not, then he could pretend he didn't know it.

Mei Qi did not deny it: "Yes, I know Dongying, so what? The Dongying translator in your Honglu Temple is mine... the guest who came to the scene, he taught me a few words, isn't it okay? Listen Saying that you can speak Tushan Mandarin, aren’t you from Tushan?”

Xiao Suo smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't recognize me, the ambassador from Dongying Jie Tokugawa Xuanyi left two envoys before leaving. I asked them to recognize you, would you like it?"

Naturally, it is impossible for Dongying people to know all their own people, but when the man in black had a secret conversation with Mei Qi that day, Xiao Suo hid in the river under the corridor, with his ear on the back of the board, and clearly heard the man tell Mei Qi not to be raped by the Tokugawa family. people see.

It can be seen from this that Mei Qi must have entanglements with the Tokugawa family.How dare he meet the people left by Tokugawa Xuanyi easily?

"Okay, I'll see you, tell them to go." Mei Qi pretended to be relaxed, "If they frame me, I will die, and I have nothing to fear."

Xiao Suo stood up and said: "They have no grievances with you in the past, and they have no enmity in the near future, why would they lie and frame you?"

"People are unpredictable, what is impossible?" Mei Qi lowered her head, hugged her bandaged left hand, and said, "You framed me, what kind of things can't be done? Who knows if they were bought by you!"

"Actually, you don't need to rush to excuse." Xiao Suo sat for a long time, his back was stiff, he walked around to relax his muscles and bones, and said: "So what if you are from Dongying? There are so many people from Dongying in Beijing, don't they all live well? "

His reaction was so violent that it was suspicious.

"I'm not at all, why admit it?" Mei Qi sneered, "I know what you suspect. Let me tell you, although I have met many high-ranking officials and dignitaries over the years, they are all normal contacts. Any wrongdoing. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them one by one.”

"Since there is no wrongdoing, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Suo walked to the door, and there was a pot of lilies on the flower table beside the beam.He sniffed lightly, and said: "Look, how white the flowers are. If you are clean, what are you afraid of?"

Mei Qi snorted, and said, "Lord Xiao, stop accusing Sang and scolding Huai."

"Actually, I don't have to interrogate you. Whether you are from Dongying has nothing to do with me. Besides, if General Shen wants to save you, how can I harm you? But I think so, and others don't think so. You don't say anything today But, I can't guarantee whether others will use this to punish you in the future."

Xiao Suo smiled, and said again: "This case is hosted by Yushitai, what will you do in the future, have you ever thought about it? I can save you out, or send you to Dongying. After all, talents who can speak Dongying cannot be wasted. "

Mei Qi's expression changed abruptly, she stood up abruptly, and moved to the wound, gnashing her teeth in pain and unable to speak.

Xiao Suo helped him to lie down, sat on the edge of the bed by himself, and said earnestly: "You have a lot of injuries, and you need to recuperate for a while, don't move around. You lie here for a while, and someone will carry you into prison in the afternoon. I I have something else to do, excuse me." Saying that, he walked out.

"Wait a minute!" Mei Qi hastily called out to him.

Xiao Suo turned around: "Is there anything else?"

Mei Qi paused for a moment, then asked softly: "My lord...is it really down?"

"Yes, it really fell." He said flatly, "Having been dormant for many years, once he makes a move, the emperor will not give him a chance to come back from the ashes."

"Then... will he die?" Mei Qi's expression was very sad, I felt pity for it.

Xiao Suo shook his head: "After all, he is still a prince, he probably won't die. But no one around him can escape." He meant something.

"Including me." Mei Qi murmured in a statement tone.

"God helps those who help themselves." Xiao Suo said, "People in this world don't want to live, and no one can save them."

"I'm really innocent!" Mei Qi said with her eyes wide open.

Xiao Suo nodded: "I know, but the fire at the city gate, the fish in the pond, and the collapse of the building, how could it not hurt one or two innocent people? I am saving you, do you understand? You think that if you deny it, others will have nothing to do with you Even if Yushitai and Dali Temple don’t deal with you, do you think Mr. Zhang Yunjian will let you go lightly? Even I can find out these things. He has been in charge of the Criminal Department for many years, so why can’t he find out?”

Mei Qi heard the words, and murmured: "What you said is that he will not let me go. It's all my fault. I would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. I was too impulsive back then."

Xiao Suo walked back again, sat down and said: "General Shen and I want to save you, but you have to be willing. In fact, I don't want to know about your affairs at all. Don't forget, my mother died at the hands of your Qi Wang faction. Li. If I can not vent my anger, it is the best of my benevolence. If Shen Yan insisted on helping you, and even had a conflict with Mr. Zhang because of this, I would never meddle in this business. "

"Then you're still jealous of me?" Mei Qi smiled weakly. "Shen Yan must be scared. Apart from you, there is really nothing that can scare him."

Xiao Suo couldn't help but smile: "He is the most stupid."

"It's stupid enough. It's not right to be a good general. You have to offend the emperor and pester you," Mei Qi sneered. "Did you know? He once fought for two people, one is the emperor and the other is Yan Jun."

"It's a coincidence that the emperor was assassinated when he went to the suburbs of Beijing to worship heaven. The assassin was impartial, and an arrow was aimed at the emperor's chest. Yan Jun rushed to block the arrow, but it was still a step too late. At the critical moment, it was Shen Yan. Pushing away Yan Jun, standing in front of the emperor, gave the two of them a fatal blow. For this reason, he lay on the bed for two months to recover."

He sighed, and continued: "This arrow is really an arrow with a bright future, an arrow with gold. Since then, the emperor has reused Shen Yan and treated him better than his own son. Everyone in the world is jealous and wishes they could If you get hit by an arrow, you will be able to rise to the top."

"He doesn't like Yan Jun. I lied to you on purpose." Xiao Suo was in prison at the time, and he still remembered what Mei Qi said when he visited the prison. He has never treated others as lowly as he treated you. With his temperament, he wished he could reach the moon for nine days, don't you know?"

Xiao Suo thought of Shen Yansu's unruliness, smiled knowingly, and asked: "Then why did you provoke the relationship between us at that time?"

"Who cares about these things, why not help the prince." Mei Qi rolled her eyes, "The prince wanted to make friends with Shen Yan a long time ago, but he stubbornly refused and followed the emperor wholeheartedly. I went to provoke you to leave Shen Yan, go to the prince. Your talent, the prince also likes it."

"Thank you so much for your compliments." Xiao Suo hooked the corner of his mouth, and said seriously: "Where Shen Yan won't go, I won't go either."

"Okay, okay." Mei Qi said "tsk tsk", "I don't listen to you two, my teeth are sore."

"Then you rest." Xiao Suo said with a smile, "I'll go first."

He just opened the door, only to hear Mei Qi call him from behind: "I am indeed from Dongying!"

Xiao Suo knew that he would speak, but he did not expect him to speak so soon.He closed the door, turned around and asked, "Are you willing to say it again?"

Mei Qi didn't answer, she stared at the bed curtain absently, and after a while, she said, "My original name is Hashiba Meiqi, and I'm a descendant of the Toyotomi family of Dongying. Toyotomi Hideyoshi, one of the Three Heroes of the Warring States Period. Hideyoshi was originally the servant of Oda Nobunaga, who was in power in Japan. Because of his loyalty, he was quite trusted. Killed by his subordinate Mitsuhide Akechi. My ancestor Hideyoshi stood out and replaced the Oda family, unified Dongying, and became the actual ruler. Unfortunately, the hero was late, and was later seized by the general Tokugawa Ieyasu."

Xiao Suo's inner astonishment was no less than the feeling when he learned that he was from Dongying, he said in a daze: "I never expected that your background is so...legendary."

Mei Qi smiled sarcastically: "It's a pity that I was born at an untimely time. When I was born, my family was already defeated. The Tokugawa family exterminated the Toyotomi family, and all my family except me died under their swords. Tokugawa Ieyasu's son Tokugawa Hidetada Seeing that I was born better than others, he said that I had the appearance of a cherry blossom, so he kept me and raised me at home to be his male geisha. Later, the former samurai of my family—the assassin you caught—he took me I was rescued. Since I had nowhere to escape, I sneaked into the official ship that sent the envoy to Tang Dynasty and traveled across the sea to come here."

"It's actually like this." Xiao Suo couldn't help but feel confused, and asked again: "So...you really aren't a meticulous worker?"

"I told you, didn't you? Have you ever seen me work so carefully?" Mei Qi smiled bitterly and shook her disabled left hand, "I just wanted to survive, and I had no other intentions. When I was living on the street, it was Wei Lan who rescued me. He gave me up and taught me Chinese. It was also he who introduced me to the prince, changed my appearance, and became his sidekick."

Xiao Suo took the opportunity to ask: "Then... do you know about Wei Lan's background?"

The author has something to say:

Regarding Mei Qi's life experience, it is all fabricated and fictitious. We are making a fiction, which is very different from history.The era when Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu were fighting, was about the Ming Dynasty, and I borrowed it for use.
