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 are going to clean up too. You, please rest."
"Okay." Meng Renji nodded.
Chu Cun stood up and walked to the nearest corpse. He bent down and dragged up the feet of the masked man in black. He followed Qicheng behind him 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 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, four large and round sesame cakes.
Meng Renji took the sesame cakes from Qicheng’s hand, and the tentacles were tightly tied together. This reminded him of how he had made such sesame cakes during the difficult years of growing up in Zhuangzi in the western suburbs. It's all 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 seed cake.
Chu Cun quickly took out the vegetable buns he had bought in Daxing County. He did not buy meat buns. This was the same reason as Qicheng only prepared vegetarian pancakes. Meat would not last long, but vegetarian dishes 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 biscuits into his mouth, and tore them apart without saying a word. Bite, bite off a piece, and then smile: "I can eat sesame cakes. When I was young, in the village in the western suburbs, I often It was common for me to go without water for two or three days because of my mother in Zhuangzi. Whenever I was really hungry at this time, I would sneak into the kitchen to look for food, but most of the time, the kitchen was empty. They were cleaned so well that you couldn’t even see the sesame seeds on the sesame cakes, so they were trying to fill their stomachs and survive. , I had no choice at that time, so I took out as many scraps as I could, and I ate them all. The taste...oh, I still can't remember it."
"Young Master..."
“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 have not only made my stomach feel bad, but also smoothed my teeth. If they were still in the village, I would at least hide such round and big sesame cakes. Halfway up, it was my life-saving food when my mother acted mischievously and refused to give me anything to eat or drink.”
As if he didn't hear Chu Cun's suppressed voice, and didn't seem to feel the scorching gazes of Qiao Qiancheng and Qicheng. Meng Renji talked to himself, speaking calmly, with no words in his mouth. Forgot to chew that small piece of sesame seed cake.
The dead branches were burned with a snapping 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: "Young Master, the eldest lady ordered me to take good care of you." Yes, as for daily meals like this You don’t have to worry too much about these little things.” After Meng Renji finished speaking, 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 Shaobing in one hand and steamed buns in the other. With the conversation between the master and the servant beside him, the taste becomes more and more delicious.
Qicheng saw the slight movement on his general's face, 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.
I never expected that I still didn’t succeed!
Fortunately this time, there is a reason.
Fu Yan replied: "Yes."
"It seems that I guessed well. My good prince, the third emperor brother, really refuses to let go of any road." Li Heng I almost said this through gritted teeth, "Even General Zhennan wants to compete with me!"
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 again, 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. There was something strange in the East Palace. When I went to the Imperial Study Room to see Emperor Zong this morning, I unexpectedly spotted Li Shou in the Imperial Study Room.
In the end he did not 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 walking chariot?" he asked.
Shi Mofu said: "No."
"Being able to be helped out by Chang Qing shows that the prince was punished by his father to kneel down, and the kneeling time was not short, and his father Uncharacteristically, he did not give it Next step..." Li Heng said while thinking. After thinking about it, he smiled, "No matter what the reason is, it is really not easy to teach the father to be really angry with the prince. "
In the twenty years he had grown up in the palace, he had never seen such a scene many times.
Fili Yan and Shimo looked at each other, and they were secretly glad in their hearts.
Thankfully 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 and mental suffering.
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 should be put aside for the time being until the Second Young Master Meng really goes with him. General Qiao entered the border of Lingnan and entered the Zhennan Army stationed in Lingnan, and then made other arrangements to kill him. "
