Dressed as a cannon fodder

The next day, Zheng Jiewan arrived at the bedroom early, and he couldn't wait: "Immortal Elder, Immortal Elder, may there be news about that monster?"

Meng Yunchi unhurriedly straightened the veil folded on his collar, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there are some bosses, but we can't find them all at once."

"How to Find"

"Well... Your Majesty is just waiting. When the time comes, I will tell Your Majesty."

Zheng Jiewan murmured: "Okay...Okay, I will listen to the elders."

"Go far."

Min Hangyuan pricked up his ears, "Yes."

"Come on, let's go out."

"Yes." He ran towards Meng Yunchi from the door, his footsteps revealing a bit of imperceptible joy.

Just like a real child.

With a faint smile in his eyes, Meng Yunchi stood still and waited for him.

The two of them stepped on the flying sword and disappeared in the palace in an instant, leaving Zheng Jiewan standing by the window lattice in a daze.

The long wind whizzed by my ears, and the rivers and mountains under my feet became more and more vast. When I raised my eyes, I could see the white cranes flying together in the distance, moving with the wind, free and easy.

Meng Yunchi brought people to the top of Tailing Peak and looked down at the rivers and mountains below. Thousands of mountains are rising from the ground, competing to rush into the sky, and the gurgling water is moving on the ground, rushing and converging to the east.

The mountain was too steep, Min Hangyuan looked back and found that the place where they were standing was the only foothold on the top of the mountain.

Half a step back is the abyss.

"Don't look back," Meng Yunchi's voice brought him back to his thoughts, "There is no need to worry about the things that are left behind. Look in front of you."

"What do you see"

"The imperial city of Huai'an."

"what else"

"The night falls and the sun rises."

There is also the insatiability, delusion, and greed that never has a lower limit that are gradually awakening in the human world.

His head was slapped, Min Hangyuan covered his head and raised his head, "Master"

The person who only listened to the bright moon and clear wind said with his hands behind his back: "What are you thinking, don't you think the shape of the mountain over there looks like a cloud turtle?"

Min Hangyuan: "...Yes, quite similar."

He never thought that his master took him to the top of the highest and steepest mountain early in the morning when the sun was rising, just to see a group of mountains that looked like turtles.

Meng Yunchi watched alone for a while, and the sea of ​​clouds in the mountains gradually dissipated under the rising sun. He lowered his head and spread his palms, but his eyes did not fall on the real place, and he said calmly: "Let's go."

Min Hangyuan put his little hand on it.

Meng Yunchi was slightly taken aback, his eyes focused on the small hand in his palm, he put his five fingers together, wrapped Min Hangyuan's hand in it, and smiled again, "Let's go, I'll bring you to see Yungui next time."

It seemed that the loneliness and loneliness just now were just an illusion.

Min Hangyuan's heart twitched slightly, and this twitch made him feel baffled.

"Well, I listen to Master."

The two returned to Huai'an, but Meng Yunchi was not in a hurry to take him there. He wandered around the street, occasionally stopping to look at the stalls on the side of the road, looking in good spirits.

Pedestrians on the street give way automatically, and a carved carriage slowly pulls out from the center. Two drivers drive side by side, with guards armed with knives. The driver is a slender young man. Out of the servants of officials or rich people.

High officials of the imperial court travel.

Meng Yunchi mixed in the crowd and looked up at the carriage for a moment, then let go of his consciousness.

The destination of the carriage is Tianxiang Tower.

There was an endless stream of diners, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Tianxiang Tower, and the young man quickly knelt under the pedals and used his back as a step, and the people in the carriage lifted the curtain and came out.

An octogenarian with a gray beard.

Shao Yuqing, from the official to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is one of the veterans who assisted Zheng Jiewan to ascend to the throne. He is an indestructible representative of a famous family.

The row is quite large.

The owner of Tianxiang Building went out to greet him, and was surrounded by others and entered the inner box through the gate. Meng Yunchi turned his head and saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

That day, the man in Zongyan's small room in Xianfang Pavilion.

Meng Yunchi was very impressed with him.

The man's panting sound was particularly heavy, like a tractor whistling black exhaust while on the road, working quite hard.

Zhang Guili, Miyagi Habayashiro, has gone out with Zheng Jiewan many times, but the record is mediocre, but there is no credit but hard work, Habayashiro is mostly a close relative of the emperor, he occupies this position, if there is a war, he can join the army Expedition is also a position with many opportunities for meritorious deeds.

A wisp of black air flew out of Meng Yunchi's sleeve and entered Tianxiang Tower.Meng Yunchi led Min Hangyuan to sit down at the street stall table and drink the coarse tea poured by the stall owner, but after half a stick of incense, the black air suddenly disappeared without a trace.

His expression moved slightly, and he was distracted to pay attention to the movement in Tianxiang Tower.

No exception.

The young attendant guarding the door remained motionless, looking well-behaved.

Several people stayed in Tianxiang Tower for the whole afternoon and dispersed at Yinshi.Shao Yuqing came out of the building door tremblingly leaning on crutches. The young man quickly stepped forward to support him, took him into the carriage, and drove the horse away with a whip.Zhang Guili also walked in the opposite direction, this time he did not go to Xianfang Pavilion, but returned to his mansion honestly.

A young woman with a bun came out to greet him and greeted him. Her appearance was not outstanding, but her features were delicate and her manners were dignified. She had a special and elegant temperament. It could be seen that she was a boudoir lady from an aristocratic family.

Shao Yuqing's concubine daughter.

These two are son-in-law

At night when Meng Yunchi returned to the palace, Zheng Jiewan was sitting in front of the desk, correcting the script, with lowered eyebrows and eyes, showing a pair of red phoenix eyes, narrow, long and beautiful, extremely beautiful.

"His Majesty."

"Immortal Elder" Zheng Jiewan put down his pen and greeted him, "But there is news."

Meng Yunchi pondered for a moment, "Where did your Majesty get this painting?"

"In the army," Zheng Jiewan pondered for a while, "we broke through the Wen Kingdom, and the soldiers below brought us the tribute of war profits."

The appearance of this picture scroll is not special, it can even be said to be ordinary, he asked his sergeant to bring up something to look at the collection in the deep palace of Wen State, he took such a picture by accident, and caught a glimpse of it.

"Why?" Zheng Jiewan's expression moved slightly, "Is there a problem?"

"Who was the person who seized the treasury collection at that time?"

The memory is a bit long. At that time, there were many branches of his imperial army. Due to the rush of the war, the positions were often changed. Most of the places that he didn't care about would be difficult to recall.Zheng Jiewan recalled for a while, and his hair swept across the table with his back and forth movements: "The guard of the widow's close relatives, named Zhang Guili."

He didn't look up, and the expression on his face was gradually stained with other things that Meng Yunchi couldn't see.

Although Zhang Guili has an irritable and rough temper, and his military achievements are not obvious, he is loyal and has no other intentions. If this person has problems, then he will never leave anyone who has a different heart...

The Emperor's House is the best at scheming, constantly suspicious, and can no longer completely hand over its back to the soldiers on the battlefield as it did back then.Zheng Jiewan looked at the golden dragon relief on the pillars of the main hall, and a self-mockery flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much," Meng Yunchi said, "I'm just asking casually."

He saw Zheng Jiewan's bruise spread to the back of his hand, "Your Majesty went to see that painting again." He frowned slightly: "Your Majesty shouldn't have too much contact with that painting."

"I know." Zheng Jiewan rolled up his sleeves indifferently, not wanting to say more.

Almost none of his wishes in his life were fulfilled, and he fought all the way to the throne of emperor, but the intrigues in the court were really exhausting for a person without ambition.

The person in the painting that he caught a glimpse of in his heart has already become his spiritual sustenance, but he is unwilling to let go.

Zheng Jiewan didn't want to talk too much about the picture scroll, and said: "Immortal Elder, may I ask why the Immortal Elder always wears a veil?"

"inconvenient."

"That's it." Zheng Jiewan smiled slightly, "I don't know when I will have the chance to see the fairy's appearance, but I am a little curious."

"Your Majesty, you can watch it if you want," Meng Yunchi leisurely raised the veil, "I'm not—"

He paused, stood up suddenly and waved his sleeves, the window sill opened wide, he summoned catkins to fly up, and chased towards the black air that flashed across the roof, and before he left, he threw down a bar that landed on Zheng Jiewan body, it can protect him against the sneak attack of that monster.

Zheng Jiewan froze on the spot, his heart suddenly jumped because he saw half of his face under the veil.
