Back Off, Let Me Come

"This is absolutely ridiculous!"

The paper recording the information was clenched into a ball in Mei Meng's palm.

The contents above kept flashing in her mind.

Mei Meng would rather the enemy was more skilled and had sharp eyesight to discover the spies installed by her side, rather than admit that the spy's whereabouts were exposed just because of that one glance! She closed her eyes and massaged her swollen temples to calm down her pent-up emotions. Judging from the information from the investigation, the eyeliner had been well hidden before Cui Hui appeared. There were no flaws, and the guards of Fugu City had never discovered any clues. .

When Cui Hui appeared, the eyeliner looked at her in surprise.

Just one glance, and it was revealed.

The man next to Cui Hui sent someone to check the informants.

As long as there is an interrogation, the spy will be exposed.

Up to this point, if it is just a simple inquiry, the eyeliner can still get through with his rich experience and superb acting skills, but the person who is interrogating him is not an ordinary person! As a high school official, Qishan could easily be fooled by the level of protection around him.

The eyeliner was caught off guard and briefly controlled by Yan Ling, revealing a lot of confidential information. Although the eyeliner reacted immediately, struggled to break free from the control and cut off his heart, it was already too late.

This hidden line has been spotted.

The latter also disguised himself as an informant to ambush the contact's boss.

If the superior's response hadn't been quick enough and alert enough, I'm afraid Qi Yuanliang would have been able to follow the clues and find him. Mei Meng is not afraid of confronting Qi Yuanliang. What she feels sad about is that the secret line she spent so much effort to build is broken, and the source of it all is just a coincidence.

This realization made Mei Meng feel quite unhappy.

No matter how happy you are, you can only be frustrated.

She said with determination: "Close the net and clean it up."

When it breaks, it breaks!

Things of no value should be parted with as soon as possible.

The subordinate felt a little distressed and said hesitantly: "Parents..."

Mei Meng's expression was cold: "If you don't clean up your tail now, are you going to have to wait for someone to come and bring evidence to prosecute you?"

The subordinates were worried: "In this case, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time."

Mei Mengxi smiled and said: "Why go?"

Leaving in a hurry when the hidden line is exposed will make you feel guilty and make you more likely to be caught by the other party. Anyway, she didn't have time to do anything yet, so she could find excuses to make up for what she had already done. Mei Meng turned the whole plan around two or three times in her mind.

Think about where there are any flaws.

She sipped the tea and murmured.

"I really didn't expect that it would be Qi Yuanliang."

The subordinates were curious: "Does the head of the family know him?"

Mei Meng smiled inexplicably: "I met you many years ago."

At that time, I only thought that he was a young scholar who was down and out.

On the way back from the spring outing that year, the head guard noticed something strange in the grass on the roadside. He thought it was a poisonous insect or beast in the mountains, but when he took a closer look, he realized it was a young scribe covered in mud. His face was pale, his breathing was weak, his chest was rising and falling very little, and his clothes were wet against his skin. According to his judgment, the young scribe had been unconscious for more than a day and night, and ants were crawling around the wound.

If the heavy rains in the previous two days hadn't diluted the blood, the young man would have been eaten by wild beasts as early as he was in coma. The chief of guard came and asked Mei Meng how to deal with this person.

Mei Meng is not an innocent boudoir girl.

What kind of good thing could an injured man unconscious on the roadside be?

She lowered the car curtain and said: [Ignore it. 】

As long as you are lucky enough, you won't die.

The chief guard hesitated: [This person should be a literary scholar. 】

Mei Meng opened the curtain again.

The captain of the guard was an experienced man. He leaned close to Mei Meng and whispered in her ear: [...Although this person did not wear the inscriptions on his body, judging from the signs of damage to his meridians, it looked like the backlash of the scribe's way. There are not many literati with literati skills, so the lady might as well save him and show her kindness, it doesn't take much effort anyway. He has recovered from his pill mansion and is about to wake up...]

Just picking the person up is considered a life-saving grace.

If you're lucky, you might not even need to call a doctor.

Mei Meng was reluctant: [This is inappropriate. 】

A powerful Wenxin scribe will not easily fall into trouble unless his opponent is more powerful or he himself is involved in huge trouble. No matter which one it is, if you rush to save people, you will make yourself embarrassed, so it is better to pretend not to see it.

The chief guard can only listen to his master.

As luck would have it, the young scribe woke up early.

It's not that he's stuck, but that the stranger's breath will trigger the self-protection mechanism of the elixir, allowing the body to wake up in advance. The young man woke up. His body was still very weak from the backlash and he could barely move his eyes. Mei Meng had no time to leave, so she could only have someone pick the young man up into the carriage and wander all the way back to the city.

After all, he is a literary scholar, so his recovery speed is really fast.

When entering the city, the young man could barely stand up.

Mei Meng asked someone to arrange for him to stay in the guest house.

The young man healed his wounds and came to express his gratitude. Only then did Mei Meng find out the young man's identity and prayed that his surname should be Shan and his character Yuan Liang. Mei Meng felt friendly when she heard the young man's accent, so she asked him where he was from. When Qi Shan answered truthfully, Mei Meng said: [...You are actually a descendant of the Qi family? 】

I pray this surname is rare.

There is indeed a group of people named Qi in the place where Qishan said.

Two generations up, the two families still had some contacts.

After it was confirmed that Qi Shan was the Qi family in her mouth, Mei Meng's attitude towards Qi Shan was no longer so cold - she had followed her brother away from her homeland, so how could it not be considered a happy event to be able to hear news about her hometown here? In the past few days when Qi Shan was recovering from his injuries, she also sent people out to inquire about literary scholars who met Qi Shan's conditions, but she did not hear any rumors. Qi Shan also personally admitted that his injuries were not due to enemies but the backlash caused by his cultivation, and she put down her guard. Most of it.

Give up the idea of ​​seeing the guest off and let him stay for a few more days.

Despite this, the two didn't have much interaction.

Until the housekeeper led Qishan to find him.

Mei Meng thought he was here to say goodbye, but unexpectedly the housekeeper said that Qi Shan had accepted the job of mending the paintings: [Qi Jun can still mend the paintings? 】

There was a sudden heavy rain recently, the tiles cracked, and the room where the paintings and calligraphy were collected leaked. Although the servants rescued them immediately, several paintings were still damaged. One of the paintings is still her most treasured.

Take it with you wherever you go, open it and enjoy it at all times.

She tried to fix it but couldn't.

I had no choice but to find a painter who was professional in repairing the scroll.

It's just that the painting was seriously soaked in water, and the painter didn't dare to take on the job.

She didn't believe in evil, so she posted a big reward notice.

The notice was posted for several days but no one took it up.

It's not easy to get news, and we are still acquaintances.

To be honest, Qi Shan was also surprised.

He was now penniless and had not yet recovered from his injuries, so he was looking for some work to make money. I went out and walked around and found a job to make extra money for painting repairs. As a result, the more we walked, the more familiar we became. The person who wanted to make up the painting was actually Mei Meng. He didn't dare to speak too fully.

[Understand a little bit. 】

Mei Meng knew the bad habits of literary scholars.

If you know a little bit about it, it may be extremely self-effacing.

She asked people to send old paintings over, and Qishan just took a look at them and gave a positive answer: "It's not serious, it can be repaired." 】

Qishan spent three days repairing the old painting.

He's still itchy, so he'll give you one for free.

In addition to the original old painting, there is also an identical new painting. The only difference between the two paintings is the paper quality. The rest are perfectly restored one to one. Even though Mei Meng had read this painting countless times, with every detail deeply engraved in her mind, she still couldn't tell which one was the original at a glance. She put the painting away with great care.

The eyes indicate that the steward will give you all your reward.

Qi Shan did not accept it, but declined: "I don't dare, not to mention that the lady saved Qi's life. There is no way to repay the life-saving grace. The value of this painting alone, forgive Qi's blunt words, it It’s not worth such a generous reward, I really deserve it...]

[I pray you don’t have to refuse. 】Because the old painting was perfectly restored, Mei Meng was in a good mood and got a lot closer to Qi Shan. 【In the eyes of outsiders, this painting is indeed ordinary. You can paint it for twenty or thirty cents, but its value is not that. 】

Qishan asked curiously: [Because of the people above? 】

Mei Meng frankly admitted: [Yeah. 】

Qishan thought of the poems written on old paintings and asked no more questions.

But he eventually learned the identity of the person in the painting.

It's not that he deliberately inquired, but this matter is not new in the city. Perhaps because of the painting, Qi Shan stayed at Mei Meng's house until his injury recovered, and the other party even did him a favor.

Generally speaking, both Qi Shan and Mei Meng have a relatively positive impression of each other. But neither of them expected that it would be like this when they heard from each other after many years.

Mei Meng naturally regretted it.

"As expected, the man on the roadside couldn't be saved."

If I had known this, I should have killed him back then.

Don’t bother yourself today.

When she found out that the body had been switched and the stolen body was fake, she had a premonition that she was going to meet her old friend. This premonition soon came true. Mei Meng did not choose to sit still and wait for death, but took the initiative. She freshened up briefly and went out.

The subordinates were worried: "Parents, where are you going?"

Mei Meng said: "Of course it's a visit to a friend."

At this moment, camp.

Lu Jue's expression was completely blank, as if his soul was out of his body. Qi Shan raised his hand and made several gestures in front of his eyes.

He sighed and said, "General Lu, you have come to your senses."

When that didn't work, he shouted into the other person's ear again.

This time it finally worked.

Lu Jue was as if a bomb had been placed under his butt. He was so shocked that he jumped up on the spot. He grabbed Qishan's wrist and confirmed again and again: "Qi Zhongshu, Qi Zhongshu, you, you, are you sure - are you sure it's really She? She is in Heyin County now?"

Qishan said helplessly: "Yeah, sure."

Lu Juexi suffered from a speech disorder.

He could only relieve his inner emotions by pacing back and forth, rubbing his hands nervously, and walked around Qishan in circles.

When Qi Shan saw his reaction, the whites of his eyes almost rolled up, and he even regretted telling Lu Jue about Mei Meng.

I thought that after so many years, Lu Jue was no longer the same Li Li as he was back then, and Mei Meng wouldn't have that big of an impact on him, but it turned out that he was overthinking it. Lu Jue is still the same Li Li, his mind is full of Mrs. Mei Meng, is this guy really not capable of bad things?

Pray for good and be prepared to test it out.

He raised his hand to press Lu Jue's shoulders and poured a basin of cold water on him.

"General Lu, don't get too happy too soon."

Lu Jue asked back: "Why can't you be happy?"

Qi Shan: "The lady you are thinking about is not evil. She is most likely our enemy. Do you want to——"

Lu Jue interrupted him: "I know."

This time it was Qishan's turn to wonder: "You know?"

Lu Jue looked calm and composed, and said clearly: "If this were not the case, why would Qi Zhongshu say it in person? If she was just an ordinary woman, you would probably send someone over to inform her of the betrayal."

Qishan: "..."

He reorganized his words: "In that case, what are General Lu's plans? Judging from the information so far, the lady you are thinking about seems to have a high status in the southwest. The situation in the southwest, I think you also Understand."

All he had to do was ask Lu Jue if he would be seduced away by the other party using a honey trap.

Lu Jue nodded: "The general will understand."

Qishan waited for a while but didn't hear anything more.

Lu Jue understood his expression and quickly added: "Whether you believe the letter or not, I will never and cannot betray the Lord because of my wife. If you say something that the secretary may not believe, after hearing the news about my wife, I will not." My first thought will be to rob someone. No matter if she remarries or whatever... I want to rob her!"

He just wants to get the person back.

However, when he learned that Mei Meng's status was extraordinary, he changed his strategy. You can't rob it now, but when you win the battle later, you can just ask for the people over. Qi Shan was worried about him leaving with Mei Meng, a choice he had never even thought about.

Qishan's mouth muscles seemed to be out of control.

He said angrily: "What are you trying to rob? Do you think you are a bandit? You are a general after all. You have spoken out loud."

Those who didn't know better thought he was a habitual criminal who raped women.

Lu Jue's expression changed from his usual expression, and his eyebrows seemed to be worried.

He said: "You don't understand the Prayer Book."

In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Jue had cared about his wife for so many years and loved her so deeply that she might turn her back on his lord with just a finger, but Lu Jue knew that he would not be able to do this.

It wasn't because he was loyal to the emperor, but because he knew clearly that this would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. He gave up his principles and initiative in order to be with his wife, and the final result would be to lose her forever.

Want to really get the wife——

Only imprison him.

Yes, imprisonment.

However, it is not a prison that makes her lose her freedom, but a prison that brings her into his own territory as a strong party, and outsiders have no right to interfere with her stay! Secular rumors won’t work, and neither will Madam’s brother! Only in this way can they truly stay together.

Qishan: "..."

He really doesn't understand these love brains.

Lu Jue calmed down and asked the question he wanted to know most at the moment: "Qi Zhongshu, do you know where Madam is at this moment?"

It would be great to snatch people away now.

Qishan didn't really want to answer.

"Still investigating, it should be soon."

Qishan thought it would be good if Mei Meng's whereabouts could be found after the main force arrived, but he never expected that there would be news that night.

However, the source was not his.

But someone sent by Cui Hui.

Because Mei Meng is a guest at her place right now.

When the soldiers came to inform them, Lu Jue was present.

He stood up suddenly, his face flushed with excitement.

"Pray for the book!"

Qishan: "..."

He still can't figure it out.

How did Lu Jue, the love brain, sneak in? Among the founding ministers of Kang State, each one was more powerful than the other, but Lu Jue was the only one who was fresh and refined.

Excited as he was, Lu Jue did not show up.

Qi Shan did not allow him to use force to kidnap people.

Before getting the evidence, Lu Jue really wanted to use force to imprison the other party's freedom of life, and the situation escalated from a private matter to a two-state one.

"Mr. Mei, long time no see."

(～￣▽￣)～

I climbed Yandang Mountain today. To be honest, I feel a little regretful... If I don’t stay at home during the Chinese New Year, why would I go out to climb the mountain...
