From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 176 Figure it out
It was early morning.

Since Zhang Guinian came to the door, the plan to go out for fun naturally couldn't be realized.

"Uncle Zhang, please wait a moment. I'll send the little girl out first." Meng Yuan knew very well to whom his body and heart belonged, so he had to report to the third young lady.

Meng Yuan lives in the palace, but now he wants to bring outsiders to question Prince Xin. Although the order from the emperor cannot be disobeyed, it does seem like a bad servant bullying his master.

Of course, Meng Yuan had also thought of even worse things like servants bullying their masters.

Seeing Meng Yuan taking Jiang Tang and the little weasel out the door, Zhang Guinian sat down casually.

"I thought this guy was brave," Zhang Guinian sighed as he pressed his teacup, "but I didn't expect he would ask the princess for permission on everything."

"He is originally from the Ying family." Gong Zihua said with a smile.

"We want to ask for instructions, but we can't find anyone to ask." Zhang Lingfeng said in a low voice.

"It's nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade." Zhang Guinian sighed, "Old Nie is so lucky!"

The three of them whispered for a quarter of an hour, and then they saw Meng Yuan returning in a hurry with a light smile on his face. It did not look like he had received permission from the master of the house, but rather like a henpecked man who had received direct advice from his wife.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Guinian asked.

"What's there to say?" Meng Yuan spread his hands and said, "We are doing this for the public good!"

"This is not the time for you to go and ask for instructions!" Zhang Guinian stood up unhappily, "Let's go back to the guard post first."

The group immediately left the palace. Since they had nothing to do, Meng Yuan asked about Zhang Guinian's injuries.

"It's nothing serious. It will be fine after a while." Zhang Guinian was very open-minded. "But you recovered so quickly that you can even take your wife out to play? Didn't you go to find Qingqing?"

"I just went there yesterday." Actually, he went there the night before yesterday. Meng Yuan pretended to be hypocritical and asked with a smile, "Uncle Zhang just came back. Has he not met Master Nie yet?"

"Old Nie doesn't want to get involved in these things." Zhang Guinian sighed, "He went to the garrison before, firstly to make himself familiar with the people and build good relationships with them for business; secondly, he wanted to find a suitable young person to take care of Qingqing for him. Now you have solved the two things that worried him!"

Meng Yuan smiled and nodded.

"He has saved up a lot of money!" Zhang Guinian lowered his voice and laughed, "You'll have to take advantage of it when the time comes!"

Zhang Guinian is an experienced man after all. He understands the world better than Xiangling and has more experience. "Old Nie doesn't like those who can give in to Qingqing. And those who Old Nie likes are unwilling to give in. Old Nie only has Qingqing as a child, and she killed three others, but Old Nie is still picky. When Qingqing gets pregnant, all the money Old Nie earns will definitely be handed over to you!"

"How much has Master Nie earned over the years?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.

"Who knows?" Zhang Guinian was actually unsure, but he still smiled and said, "Let Old Nie build you a big house with a garden! Then Qingqing and your young wife will have plenty of space to live in, and you can even take in a few more children!"

"There's no rush to buy a house. I already have a place to live." Meng Yuan had thought about moving to a bigger place before, but now he has thought it through and there is no need to rush.

Meng Yuan now lives in the palace, and can stay at Sister Qingqing's house at any time. He can really eat in the east and sleep in the west.

Jiang girl lived in the palace. Although she was a little Taoist nun, it was very convenient for her to be with the third young lady every day.

And there is Xiangling, she is determined to become a poet who makes money. Following the Third Miss can help to cultivate her sentiments and make money.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is very safe to be with the Third Miss.

The four of them talked for a while and then arrived at the guard post, where they saw that it was heavily guarded.

Going forward, there were three men in black robes wearing bamboo hats standing outside the lobby. They were Xuan Zhen, Xuan Bei and Xuan Jing from Lanruo Temple.

Meng Yuan smiled and nodded at Xuan Zhen, and then entered the lobby, but he didn't see Xiao Taotao. The people in charge were a Confucian scholar and a Taoist priest. They were both old acquaintances, the Taoist priest was Ke Qiuxian, and the Confucian scholar was Xiang Qingshan.

Zhang Guinian brought Meng Yuan forward and paid their respects. Ke Qiuxian closed his eyes and said nothing.

Perhaps Xiang Qingshan knew that Meng Yuan had taken good care of Mingyue, so he smiled warmly and called Meng Yuan forward, asking, "What have you been doing these past few days?"

What can you do? Eat, recite poetry, and sleep! Meng Yuan immediately said, "Recover from your injuries and spend some time with your family."

He stroked Qingshan's beard and asked again, "How is the princess?"

"All is well." Meng Yuan knew what the other person meant, so he said, "Miss Mingyue is resting in Jingyuan, and she is doing well."

Xiang Qingshan was satisfied and said, "I heard that Xuan Zhen from Lanruo Temple is familiar with you. Why don't you catch up?"

Meng Yuan was about to retreat when he winked at Qingshan.

As expected, scholars are all bad! Meng Yuan understood that Lanruo Temple must be in the wrong because of Jueyuan's incident.

The Lanruo Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in the country, so the Demon Suppression Division naturally cannot destroy it, but it will not be difficult to use this opportunity to suppress the Lanruo Temple and get some benefits out of it.

As an eyewitness, Meng Yuan can also take advantage of the situation and might even be able to get some benefits from the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Meng Yuan immediately stepped back and went outside the hall, and Xuan Zhen indeed came up to him.

"Amitabha, Mr. Meng's complexion looks rosy, which shows that his injuries are much better. Fortunately, fortunately." Xuan Zhen saluted with folded hands.

"Thank you, Master, for your concern." Meng Yuan smiled.

"Donor Meng." Xuan Bei stepped forward and bowed, saying, "My words were rude earlier, please don't take it to heart."

"Amitabha." Xuan Zhen bowed again and said, "Xuan Bei lost his mind because of what happened to Uncle Jueyuan."

Eh? Meng Yuan discovered that the monks from Lanruo Temple were really capable, but they were also very quick to admit their mistakes!

"Master, you are joking. There is no such thing as impolite or not. I am familiar with Master Xuanzhen and I don't take it to heart." Meng Yuan didn't take the matter to heart in the first place, and the other party specifically admitted his mistake, so he also clasped his fists and saluted in return.

"Donor Meng," Xuan Zhen said with a serious expression, "Could you please tell us more about what happened in the cave at the bottom of the mountain?"

"Alas." Meng Yuan sighed first, then sincerely pulled Xuan Zhen and said, "Master Xuan Zhen, we have met before. You know I am always timid and don't like to cause trouble. I almost died in that cave. Whenever I think about it now, I break out in a sweat. Sometimes in my dreams at midnight, I..."

Just give up now? Do you really think I don't know your character? Don't you just want to negotiate terms? Xuan Zhen remained calm, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and ignored it completely.

Xuan Bei and Xuan Jing glanced at Meng Yuan. They had also received advice from Xuan Zhen and knew this boy's ability. So they naturally did not believe what Meng Yuan said at all.

"How about this." Meng Yuan waved his hand and said, "I know that what happened that day was bad for Master Jueyuan's reputation and also bad for Lanruo Temple. But I don't want to talk about it anymore. You two might as well ask the two senior brothers and sisters from Lingxiao Sect."

"Ling Xiao Sect is a Taoist sect, and they don't want to talk to us at all!" Xuan Jing couldn't help it, "That Taoist friend Mo kept cursing at the three of us when he saw us!"

How could Mo Tingyu not be angry when your monk Jueyuan betrayed someone else's lover?
"Why don't you go find Captain Zhang from my Demon Suppression Bureau?" Meng Yuan suggested.

"He said nothing." Xuan Bei said.

"In that case, I will ask for instructions from my superior later." Meng Yuan sighed again and said, "Now is not the time to talk. I will set up a tofu feast tonight. Would the three masters be so kind as to honor me?"

Xuan Zhen remained silent. Xuan Bei and Xuan Jing looked at each other and nodded slowly.
