Brocade tears

Meng Kuang quickly finished his bath, wiped his hair half dry, and only loosened it with a cloth belt, hanging on his shoulders.She put on the green cloth round-neck thin shirt that Sui'er had prepared for her. She didn't wear inner armor or a military belt, only a black silk belt around her waist, and she stepped on wooden clogs with bare feet.Without so many concealments, her slender and beautiful daughter's figure is rarely shown, tall and pretty.The exudation softened her face, just out of the bath, her skin was still rosy, and she looked a bit rare and delicate.If you don't know that she is Meng Kuang from Jinyiwei Baihu, you will really think that she is a beautiful lady raised by a family of generals.

When I arrived at the side hall, I found that everyone was still asleep, and they were all gathered here to wait for her.On the dining table in the side hall were porridge, steamed buns and a few side dishes, all steaming, and the timing was just right, waiting for her to eat.There were not many seats in the side hall, so everyone moved a few stools and placed them around, and Sui'er sat at the dining table.When Meng Kuang saw Sui'er, the throbbing in his heart that had been so hard to dispel rose again, and he couldn't help but want to get close to her.But with so many people present, she could only restrain herself.She walked over to sit next to Sui Er, Sui Er softly urged her to eat, and lifted an upside-down bowl in Meng Kuang's hand, and a stewed duck leg was placed on the plate underneath.

Meng Kuang was really hungry, so he started eating.As soon as she raised her chopsticks, her second brother Meng Zixiu, who was sitting not far away, spoke:

"Ah Qing, you eat first, let me say a few words first. Tomorrow is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and we will make all the preparations tomorrow. Guo Dayou has found it now, and we have to find an opportunity to create a chance encounter so that you can meet again." Meet him again naturally. Presumably Guo Dayou must have some plan, Ah Qing, tell me what you found out later, and when we know Guo Dayou's plan, we will follow his plan to formulate our own actions plan."

Meng Kuang swallowed the food in his mouth, and said: "Old Guo intends to use the cover of King Lu to leave the city, and join us at Shence Gate to leave the city."

Everyone couldn't help being surprised when they heard the words, Meng Zixiu and Sui'er were the first to react after thinking for a moment, Bai Yuyin immediately showed a tense expression, Meng Yan also suddenly reacted when he saw Bai Yuyin's expression, and couldn't help but gasp.Only Han Jiaer was a little confused and asked:

"King Lu? King Lu is in Nanjing?"

"Of course he is in Nanjing City. Otherwise, Gu Yanxiu, a thousand households of guards in Jinyi, who is in vain, would not be able to overwhelm the city defense army in Nanjing City? But the feudal king left the fief without authorization. This is a crime and a big taboo. He will not He dared to speak up, so he didn't dare to jump on the stage, so he could only command from behind Gu Yanxiu." Meng Zixiu explained, "I have already made clear Guo Dayou's plan, he intends to make a fool of himself and distract the enemy's attention."

"En." Meng Kuang nodded, and then briefly described Guo Dayou's plan in a few words. Mencius couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this:

"Hehehe, what a 'thousand machine mace' Guo Ba, his brain turns really fast. This way, it saves us the trouble of planning how to meet by chance."

But Bai Yuyin said: "Borrowing King Lu to go out of the city, how can it go as smoothly as we planned? If something unexpected happened, wouldn't we just fall into the palm of King Lu, so what should we do? We have to... ...have a backup plan."

Mencius was worried when he saw her, and he also knew that King Lu was Bai Yuyin's biggest enemy, and she had a lot of fears about him.So he pondered for a moment and said:

"Indeed, it's time to consider a backup plan. If you can't get out of the city through Shence Gate, then withdraw, don't rush out, and then you have to play it by ear and adapt to the situation. Perhaps Guo Dayou also considered a backup plan. After you meet him, You have to listen to his command. The worst thing is that you all fall into the hands of King Lu, but Daoist Luo and I are outside to help, we will think of a way."

"Brother, if we join Guo Dayou and go out of the city, what will you and Daoist Luo do from now on?" Meng Ai asked.

"Of course I will continue to follow you in secret. I planned to go back to Beijing to find you this time. I never thought that you would go south, so I followed all the way. After Ah Qing completed the task of following Guo Dayou, she returned. Only in the capital can I show it to others.”

Meng Kuang finished eating the duck legs, took the porridge bowl from Sui Er, smiled at Sui Er, then looked at Mencius Xiudao:

"Brother, I know that you have planned a complete plan for revenge, and you are confident that you will come back to Beijing to find us. Can you roughly talk about what kind of plan it is?"

Mencius nodded, but didn't answer directly, instead he said to Bai Yuyin and Sui'er:

"Yuyin, Miss Sui'er, you have been studying the picture of animals and flowers all afternoon this afternoon, have you got any results?"

"Yes." Sui'er and Bai Yuyin met each other, and under Bai Yuyin's gesture, Sui'er said, "I don't have a complete memory of the picture of the beasts and flowers, but there are generally a few places that are impressive. What is certain is that the Map of Thousands of Beasts and Hundred Flowers records the detailed information of all the powerful and powerful people all over the country and all their properties. This entire map should be superimposed with the map of the whole territory of Ming Dynasty of the same size. It only makes sense to look.

The tattoos on Sister Bai's back are completely consistent with the drawing principles of the picture of animals and flowers. The whole picture can be divided into two patterns, that is, the picture of animals and the picture of flowers.There are seven types of beasts: wolves, jackals, bears, tigers, leopards, pythons, and Jiaos.Flower pictures are also divided into seven types: lilac, crape myrtle, rose, hibiscus, hibiscus, rose, and peony, each in three colors: red, white, and yellow, set off among the beasts.Each kind of beast corresponds to a special local powerful family, and flowers are where their treasures are hidden or owned. The varieties of flowers are distinguished by size, corresponding to the amount of wealth in the treasure.Red, white and yellow are three colors, white represents silver, yellow represents gold, and red represents the armed forces in the hands.But it's a pity that the picture of ten thousand beasts and one hundred flowers is not limited to these seven kinds of beasts, and the flowers are far more than these seven kinds of flowers, which are far more complicated than the tattoo on Sister Bai's back.From the tattoo on Sister Bai's back, I can only roughly judge a part of the content of the picture of thousands of beasts and flowers. If I don't know the whole picture, I still can't know all the records of the picture of thousands of beasts and flowers. "

Bai Yuyin took her words and said: "These seven kinds of beasts, Jiao is a giant snake before transforming into a dragon, Jiao python is also a metaphor for the royal family who is second only to the real dragon emperor, Jiao represents King Lu. Wolves often come and go in packs In the northwest desert, the wolf is greedy and cruel, representing the family of Yang Zhaoji, the current minister of the Ministry of Industry. Jackals eat carrion and bite the remains, representing Zhang Siwei who overthrew Zhang Juzheng's New Deal. Bears haunt the cold forests of the northeast, dominating one side, representing Li Chengliang. The tiger represents Gu Yangqian, the current governor of Jiliao; the leopard refers to the Leopard House of Wu Zong, implying the people who caused troubles in the court, that is, Zhang Jing and his party members; chain."

"The interpretation of these seven beasts comes from Sister Bai's tattoo, and Sister Bai's tattoo was specially tattooed on her back by Mr. Bai before the accident, hiding the people who formed a party with King Lu. Except for King Lu, are all the six interest groups represented by the other six beasts the henchmen of King Lu?" Meng Kuang said in a deep voice, his tone seemed to be analyzing and a little confused.

Bai Yuyin replied: "Party members may be exaggerating, but it is inevitable to have interests. Among them, Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng held important positions in the palace, and Lu Wang secretly communicated with the concubines in the palace. However, these two people must not be avoided. It is impossible for that Tang Fu'an to overshadow the sky in the palace. These two people must have beneficial contacts with King Lu.

Yang Zhao, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, sends a lot of money to Lu Wang's mansion every year to please Lu Wang. It can be said that he bribed Lu Wang's most important officials in the court, and Yang Zhao is very greedy. His family is amassing money everywhere in Shaanxi. .

Zhang Siwei completely overthrew the New Deal, and has been condemned by the reformers. Although the New Deal moved the interests of too many people, it was too radical to abolish all of them as soon as Zhang Siwei came to power, and there must be benefits conveyed in it.Especially King Lu, once the New Deal was overthrown, he received a large amount of land rewards. The New Deal finally checked the measured land.

Li Chengliang and Gu Yangqian, one is a big official in Liaodong, and the other is a military and political minister of the DPRK and China.Liaodong military expenditure is the heaviest expenditure in the court, and the most important military and political affairs of the country are Liaodong affairs.I suspect that every year King Lu may still make a fuss over Liaodong's military expenditures. If this matter hadn't been resolved with Li Chengliang and Gu Yangqian, how could it have been done? "

Hearing this, Han Jiaer was really shocked and angry at the same time, she couldn't help shaking her head and sighing: "These huge greed... have driven the common people to nowhere."

But Meng Ai suddenly asked: "I don't know one thing. This Li Chengliang is going to lead troops to fight, and fighting must cost money. How could he agree to let King Lu be greedy for military expenses? Doesn't he have no money to fight?" ?”

Meng Zixiu explained with a smile: "Xiao Ai, Li Chengliang has been entrenched in Liaodong for many years, and he has already played a deterrent style. The Mongols and Jurchens dare not provoke him, and even made friends with him. Liaodong has been mainly defending these years. Li Chengliang himself has become increasingly extravagant and corrupt, and all the merchants and people in the Liao Dynasty have taken him under his name, so as to make friends with wealthy families and officials of the imperial court, and consolidate his dominance in Liaodong. He also killed good men and pretended to be meritorious service, mutilated border people and even disobedient sergeants to claim his military exploits. All the officials in the cabinet were deceived by him, and the governors and supervisors were pushed out by him if they had the slightest intention of disobeying him. So much so that he could not report his illegal activities. There were inspectors Chen Dengyun and Xu Shouen successively obtained the evidence of murdering Liang and taking meritorious service. They wanted to report it, but they were stopped by Gu Yangqian. Ring to ring."

Meng Yan nodded with a serious expression on his face.When Meng Kuang was reminded by Mencius Xiu's words, he couldn't help but lose his appetite. Putting down his chopsticks, she said:

"Guo Dayou was murdered by Li Chengliang, and what he planned was to make Li Chengliang and his people pay the price." As he spoke, he narrated the secret conversation between Guo Dayou, his old comrades in arms Zhou Bayang and Tong Tutou that he had heard before. Everyone listened, and finally said:

"He told Butou Tong that he would use my hand to assassinate Li Chengliang, but I don't know if it is true or not. I think maybe his plan is not that simple. Now he knows all Sui'er's secrets, especially The ins and outs of the picture of ten thousand beasts and one hundred flowers, he knows the value of this picture. His plan is definitely not a simple revenge and assassination, maybe it is a grander and far-reaching conspiracy. There is evidence that he and his sworn brother, who is also me His boss, Luo Xun, a thousand households in the Beizhen Fusi patrol office, has been planning something. Luo Xun is also involved in the interests of the Southwest Chieftain. The plot and the distribution of benefits may be quite complicated. Maybe I was indeed his fancy An excellent assassin, but now, I have another important relationship, that is, I am the thread holding Sui'er, he knows the relationship between my lover and Sui'er, and originally wanted to use Sister Bai to drive a wedge between me and Sui'er , but then quickly gave up, which shows that he changed his mind and wanted to follow the trend, and use me to lead Sui Er to run to achieve his own goals."

After Meng Kuang finished speaking, the room fell into silence.After a while, Mencius suddenly asked:

"Guo Dayou used Yuyin to drive a wedge between you and Sui'er? What's going on here?"

Meng Kuang opened his mouth to explain, but his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Bai Yuyin looking at her, and seeing Sui'er staring at her beside him, he was a little embarrassed and at a loss for words.Finally, Bai Yuyin said:

"It's... a beauty trick. You know that I got help from Guo Dayou when I went to Beijing, and I have been under his care in Beijing all these years. I provided him with some information in exchange. It is considered friendship. At first, Guo Dayou knew about Sister Qing and Sister Sui'er. I fell in love, but I was very unwilling, so I came to find me, hoping that I could seduce sister Qing, make her empathize with another person, and stop being in love with Sui'er. But how is it possible? I, on the other hand, almost regarded her as a You, who made you dragon and phoenix brothers and sisters look so alike, she didn't speak, and she covered her face, I was separated from you for seven years, and I thought you had grown up and joined the Jinyiwei in these years. I also said You, a scholar, joined the army, and you can change so much."

"Hahahahaha..." Mencius couldn't help laughing out loud. This is really flooding the Dragon King Temple.

At this time, the sound of clappers in the middle of the night sounded outside, and Mencius Xiu said: "Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed early tonight. Go out tomorrow to buy some necessary supplies, pack your bags, and if Daoist Luo and Lu Jingshi are there No other changes have been reported, and we will act according to Guo Dayou's plan when it is not clear in the future."

Everyone left the side hall immediately, Meng Kuang helped Sui'er and Han Jiaer clean up the leftovers, and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.He urged Sui'er to take a bath again, and Sui'er followed her advice.

Mencius sent Bai Yuyin back to the West Room. He grabbed Bai Yuyin by the door and hugged her into his arms.Bai Yuyin leaned in his arms, carefully feeling the arms of her long-lost lover.

"Which one is more beautiful, sister Qing or me?" Meng Zixiu asked suddenly.

"Pfft..." Bai Yuyin couldn't help laughing in his arms, this man is really, can the famous "Warring States Policy" be used like this?So he smiled and said, "Naturally it's Qing Mei."

"Huh?" Mencius raised his eyebrows.

"But my heart pleases you."

Meng Zixiu bent his lips and smiled, tightened his embrace, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.Soft and sucking, tossing and turning, lingering and inseparable.Reluctant to part, Mencius sighed:

"I'm going to be separated again in the future. I'm sad. I'm sorry for you."

Bai Yuyin stroked his cheeks and mustache, and said softly: "I know you are not far away from me, so I feel at ease. You don't have to be sad, the short separation now is for a long time together. Let's solve all the problems as soon as possible If so, we can be in one place sooner.”

"Well, you can go with the team with peace of mind. With sister Qing here, she will take good care of you. You don't have to worry about me here. Daoist Luo will protect me. I have traveled all over the mountains and rivers these years, and my physique has become much stronger. Why are you sick?"

"What's wrong? You're not jealous anymore?" Bai Yuyin teased him with a smile.

"Why are you jealous with my younger sister? This girl... I didn't expect that she would fall in love with women. I was really surprised. To be honest, I felt weird at first, but seeing her and Miss Sui'er tonight That appearance, I think it's quite good, they are a pair of lovers, very suitable."

"There's nothing wrong with being in love with women. Women are much more careful and gentle than men, and they are caring, and they won't betray their hearts. Except that they can't have children, there's nothing wrong with that. Look at how loyal Sister Qing is to Sister Sui'er." Unswerving energy is much stronger than yours."

"Where is it?" Meng Zixiu felt offended, but he kept his body like a jade for seven years, and he didn't care about it at all.

"Why not, you heartless person, you haven't heard anything about it for seven years since you left." Bai Yuyin nodded his forehead.

"It seems that to compare with my sister, only the two of us can have a child." Mencius whispered in Bai Yuyin's ear.

Bai Yuyin's ears were red, she spat at him, and said, "You have learned how to be smooth-talking, a bookworm full of knowledge, who will have a baby with you?"

Saying that, she broke away from his embrace, entered the west room, and closed the door.Mencius stood outside the door, before he left, the door opened again, Bai Yuyin suddenly came out and grabbed his neck, kissed him on the cheek, and said:

"Good night, Changrong." She smiled sweetly, and went back to the house again. When she closed the door, her eyes were full of charms, which made Mencius Xiu's heart flutter, and it took a lot of concentration for a while to force himself to Did not break into the house.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Meng Yan looking at him with a smirk not far away. Meng Zixiu coughed, flung his long sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and said:

"Look at what's wrong, don't look at evil. Get some rest!" After saying that, he went to the east room in a panic.

"Hahaha..." Meng Yan's uncontrollable laughter rang out in the courtyard.
