From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 126 Traveling Together
After leaving the guard post, Mingyue walked in front, and Meng Yuan followed side by side, leading two horses.

"Miss Mingyue, did you gain anything from this trip?" Meng Yuan said seriously, "I am now well again, and I am willing to serve you!"

Mingyue held the sword in her hand, shook her head slightly, and didn't even say a word.

In the past, Meng Yuan and Ming Yue had a relationship of working together and being in the same boat.

Meng Yuan saw clearly that Miss Mingyue should be a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. But now she is still so cold, maybe there is a bad guy secretly making trouble!
"What a pity." Meng Yuan sighed.

"I don't have the Heaven's Secret Map to give you." Mingyue said, "What do you want?"

Who do you think I am? Seeing that she didn't know how to be polite and hypocritical, and actually said something that hit her heart, Meng Yuan said seriously: "Miss, you gave me the Divine Power as Prison Heavenly Secret Map. I am already grateful to you. How dare I expect too much?"

He sighed and said, "I really want to ask the girl for a favor."

Mingyue glanced at Meng Yuan, and remembering what Ying Rushi had said, she said nothing.

"Xiangling has been put in solitary confinement by the princess, and I cannot plead for her. Please go back and try to mediate the situation," Meng Yuan said.

After hearing this, Mingyue's lips curled up, "What did she do wrong?"

"I'm not sure either." Meng Yuan spread his hands helplessly.

"I heard from Xiangling that you also formed a poetry club?" Mingyue asked.

"It's the Laobiekeng Poetry Society. Xiangling is the president, I'm the vice president, and the prince is a member." Seeing Mingyue talk more, Meng Yuan asked, "Miss, do you want to join the society?"

"A crude warrior cannot pick out sentences from books, let alone understand elegant poetry." Mingyue said.

Is this a polite refusal or a sarcastic remark? Who did you learn this from?
Meng Yuan remained silent.

"You just offended your superior. How can you get promoted in the future?" Mingyue suddenly asked.

"It doesn't matter if I get promoted or not." Meng Yuan is best at this kind of talk. "Although I am a small flag officer now, and I have a lot of things to do, I have the centurions and the general flag in charge. I just need to be obedient and slay the demons and monsters."

"Are you willing to be a small flag officer for the rest of your life?" Mingyue asked again.

"Miss Mingyue, I was born a refugee, and I am satisfied with having a small official position." Meng Yuan was very serious, "Maybe I will be lucky in the future and become a centurion or a thousand households, or even go further. But no matter when and where, no matter what situation I am in, I will never forget that I am Meng Xiaoqi today! This is called not forgetting your original intention, so that you can achieve your goal."

"So, you killed Yao Jiamu and Yue Qingtian because they hindered your original intention?" Mingyue said coldly.

Seeing that the other party was not buying his tricks, Meng Yuan immediately changed his words and said, "I just want to find the whereabouts of the thin waist slave. My means are a bit bad, but I have good intentions."

"Oh?" Mingyue's mouth twitched.

"Miss Mingyue." Meng Yuan put on a serious expression and reached into his purse. "Here are two ingots of silver. Tell me which one is noble and which one is... Hey, where's my money?"

When I looked down, my wallet was gone!

Looking at Mingyue again, I saw a slight smile on her face and a purse in her hand.

Mingyue tossed it up twice, then opened it, pinched out a piece of silver and threw it to the candied haws seller next to her, "No need to change, Meng Xiaoqi will treat you."

She then took out a candied haws and threw the purse back to Meng Yuan.

"I don't know whether silver is noble or not, but I know I have to protect my purse first." Mingyue opened her pearly teeth and took a bite of the candied haws. "There are mandarin ducks embroidered in the purse, and there are fragrant herbs. You should know that you are not alone."

"Miss, your advice is valuable and I will keep it in mind." Meng Yuan bowed.

"Do your job well." Mingyue took the reins and said, "Wait until the seventh Taoist meeting on July 7th, and you will go there too. If you can help, I will reward you."

"Go through fire and water!" Meng Yuan said.

Mingyue raised her eyebrows and gestured to look forward.

Meng Yuan looked over and saw Nie Qingqing standing in front of Zuiyue Tower, looking at this place.

"Waking up to the bright moon, getting drunk to the spring breeze. What a nice place, what a nice name!" After Mingyue said that, he mounted his horse and left.

After Mingyue left, Meng Yuan went to Zuiyue Tower.

"She came with Taoist Ke and is the princess's guest." Meng Yuan didn't want his family to misunderstand him, so he said directly: "I was just trying to please you, that's all." "I didn't ask, so why do you have to explain? Are you feeling guilty?" Nie Qingqing smiled.

Meng Yuan quickly held Nie Qingqing's hand and called her "good sister" several times before he made her smile.

The two went inside to talk, and Meng Yuan mentioned that he would be going on a business trip tomorrow.

When night fell, the two returned home hand in hand.

There have been several ups and downs, so there is no need to say more.

Early in the morning, Meng Yuan got up and did morning exercises.

After washing up, Meng Yuan planned to leave without eating, but Nie Qingqing forced him to stay.

"Are you full after just a few pushes? Eat first. If you don't want to eat, don't eat anything else in the future." After Nie Qingqing put on her clothes, she had the demeanor of an older sister again, and her words seemed to have inherited the true teachings of Master Nie.

Meng Yuan was captured and had no choice but to obey.

After eating and drinking, they returned to the palace training ground and saw that Hu Qian and the other two were already prepared and had done morning exercises.

Meng Yuan also did morning exercises.

Wu Changsheng and Tie Niu were both wearing ordinary clothes, but Hu Qian was different.

She was wearing men's clothes, with a red cloth tied around her forehead, a sword on her left side, a knife on her right side, and a longbow on her back.

Meng Yuan couldn't help but take a few more glances and thought to himself, you really have a lot of tricks!

And it seemed to be smaller below the neck, and I didn’t know how many times it was wrapped around.

Meng Yuan had no way to persuade her, so he planned to take her back to see Sister Qingqing and ask for some advice.

After getting the horses, the four of them left the palace together, only to hear someone shouting from behind.

"Teacher Xiao Meng!"

It turned out to be Dugu Kang and Mr. Wang who chased out.

"I have something to do today and I am not in the mood for poetry. Let's talk about it another day, Prince." Meng Yuan clasped his fists and smiled.

"That's not it!" Dugu Kang led the horse, climbed onto its back with his fat body, grabbed Meng Yuan's reins, came to one side, and whispered, "I'll go with you!"

What a joke! Meng Yuan immediately refused and said, "Master Liaokong, this trip is not for sightseeing, but for important matters!"

"I know, I know!" Dugu Kang said seriously, "I went to Jingyuan to ask for instructions."

"Really?" Meng Yuan didn't believe that the Third Miss was so ridiculous.

"Look!" Dugu Kang took out a piece of paper and handed it to him.

Meng Yuan opened it and saw only three words on it: Let him go.

The key is that these three words are very ugly, and they are not the handwriting of the Third Miss at all. Even if the Third Miss agreed, she would never write these three words directly in such a crude way.

"This handwriting is the same as that of an old turtle. You told me it was written by the Third Miss?" Meng Yuan was very angry. "Brother Dugu, do you think I am pure?"

"It was written by our president." Dugu Kang said.

"..." Meng Yuan was stunned for a moment, put away the paper, and said, "You should stay at home."

"Teacher Xiao Meng." Dugu Kang begged, "Please, I'm almost suffocating. I'm really uncomfortable at home."

Meng Yuan remained unmoved.

"My mother also has a map of the heavenly secrets." Dugu Kang said.

"Well, the Third Miss has agreed, what else can I say. Besides, you and I are brothers, so we should stick together." Meng Yuan sighed.
