From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 189 Arranging tasks
The three founding members of the Laobiekeng Poetry Society discussed matters that evening and left together at dawn the next day.

Meng Yuan rode a little red horse, and Dugu Kang rode a white horse.

Following Xiangling's suggestion, the two of them went to buy some snacks before heading west.

They walked out of the city gate and arrived at the pasture farm in the west of the city.

When Sun Zhuangtou saw Meng Yuan and Dugu Kang coming again, he was extremely happy, "Your Highness is out collecting folk songs? Why hasn't Guard Meng come for a long time? The livestock in the farm are waiting for you!"

Meng Yuan endured the headache and chatted with Sun Zhuangtou for a while, then temporarily left his horse at the pasture and walked into the mountains.

The three of them exchanged a few weird poems, and then they saw Datou Mountain.

There was a lot of water in the old turtle pit, with lotus leaves and lotus flowers in it, and a few little piglets making a fuss.

As soon as Xiangling took out the snacks, the piglets ran away. Xiangling couldn't stop them, so she jumped on Meng Yuan's head and shouted, "I'm your aunt!"

She called others aunt in Jingyuan, and now that she has returned to her hometown, she can be considered an aunt again.

Among the group of piglets, a brave and intelligent one stopped and grunted a few times from a distance of more than ten feet, asking, "Who are you?"

"I am Aunt Xiangling!" Xiangling said.

"I don't know him!" The piglet ran away.

"Alas." Xiangling sighed and put her hands on her hips, feeling quite disappointed. She chanted, "I left home when I was young to earn money. The little pig asked me who I was when I came back."

"..."Meng Yuan and Dugu Kang were speechless.

Xiangling hurriedly checked her nest again, took out a few stones, then ran around the old turtle pit, jumped onto a lotus leaf to take a look, and finally climbed up to Datou Mountain to look around.

"It's still the same!" Xiangling folded two lotus leaves and spread them on the bluestone. "Little gelder, little bald man, you two sit here and take a rest!"

She tightened her bag and said, "I'm going to find Sister Pig!"

Seeing Xiangling like this, Meng Yuan could only obey, "Come back soon."

Dugu Kang also took off his bag, took out various snacks, lit the small stove, and boiled some hot water.

Xiangling gave some advice on fire prevention and then left in a flash.

Meng Yuan and Dugu Kang sat next to the old turtle pit and chatted.

"I haven't been feeling very peaceful lately," Dugu Kang sighed.

"Where does this feeling come from?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.

"It's just a feeling." Dugu Kang thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's a connection in blood."

This refers to Dugu Sheng.

"What's wrong with him?" Meng Yuan asked.

"I don't know either." Dugu Kang shook his head. "Anyway, you should be careful."

At this point, Dugu Kang lowered his voice and said, "Please ask the donor Ying to transfer you away. Or go find Mingyue and just live in the capital from now on."

"So serious?" Meng Yuan laughed.

"You don't understand." Dugu Kang said more seriously, "Prince Xin will never let go of a grudge. You killed Yang Yuping, not to mention that Prince Xin was too lazy to bother you, but there are still three of the four great generals. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days."

Meng Yuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Kong, for your guidance."

"You're welcome." Dugu Kang smiled happily after hearing his Buddhist name and asked about the trip to Chongxu Temple.

"Lexian?" Dugu Kang recalled briefly and said directly: "Don't think that she is also of the 'Le' generation. In fact, she doesn't talk about seniority with me. Don't think that Ping'an Prefecture is only Lanruo Temple, there are other temples. Master Lexian is a divine nun, the abbess of Yunshan Temple."

"What is the path of Buddhism?" Meng Yuan asked.

"There are warriors in the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, but the one who founded the school, and even the one who took the helm later, must have practiced the knowledge of his own school." Dugu Kang pointed out.

"I see." Meng Yuan nodded and asked, "What is the origin of Master Zhitong?" "The generations in Lanruo Temple are ranked according to Yuanming Jingzhi, and then my generation is Le." Dugu Kang was very familiar with these things and said, "Master Zhitong is a senior monk in Lanruo Temple. He is well versed in Buddhism and has high moral character."

"What level?" Meng Yuan asked.

"I don't know." Dugu Kang shook his head. He thought about it carefully and said, "Maybe it was a fourth-rank? I left Ping'an Prefecture for too long, and I was still young at that time."

Dugu Kang added a few words and continued, "Master Xuanjizi is not a simple person, and fellow Daoist Ying also has extraordinary skills."

The two talked for a long time, and then they heard a rumbling sound in the distance, mixed with the barking of dogs.

After a while, Xiangling came riding on a huge black pig.

The black pig leaned against the big-headed mountain buns in the distance and didn't come any closer.

Xiangling jumped off the black pig, got on all fours, and ran towards Meng Yuan.

"Alas." Xiangling sighed, then sat down and said, "Sister-in-law Zhu has lost weight, and I have gained weight too!"

Meng Yuan glanced at Xiangling's belly and thought, where have you gained weight?

"I just heard a dog barking. Did the president meet other friends?" Dugu Kang asked curiously.

"It's a big black dog!" Xiangling became excited. "It keeps calling me aunt and wants me to take it to the city to make a living!"

"Have you agreed?" Dugu Kang asked with a smile.

"Student Dugu, I haven't established myself yet!" Xiangling said very seriously, "I can do other things after I have established myself and become famous! My godmother said that even if you want to help someone, you have to consider the size of your belly!"

Xiangling still sighed, glanced at Meng Yuan again, and said, "The big black dog is fine!"

Dugu Kang saw this and knew that Xiangling was intent on introducing a concubine to Meng Yuan, so he asked, "Where is good?"

"Big Black Dog said that as long as I take her to the city to make a living," Xiangling said very seriously, gesturing, "She said that in the future, I will get the top jobs and I will get the side jobs!"

What the hell is this?
"You agreed?" Meng Yuan widened his eyes.

Dugu Kang rubbed his head, not quite understanding.

"Little gelder, please don't look down on me!" Xiangling shook her head repeatedly, "I never eat those things!"

Dugu Kang finally understood. Although it was a bit disgusting, the big black dog was sincere.

"Big Black Dog said that the mountains to the west are not peaceful, and the mountains to the south across the river are not stable either. Life is not easy these days!" Xiangling said seriously, "I gave her all the snacks I bought! She's pregnant!"

A broken child was introduced to Meng Yuan? Dugu Kang praised: "The president is helping the needy, how kind!"

The three of them talked for a long time. As it was getting dark, Xiangling wanted to stay here for another night, but Meng Yuan refused.

"Let's go back to Muzhuang to hold a poetry reading in the evening." When Meng Yuan mentioned the poetry reading, Xiangling didn't think about anything else and just followed him.

The weather in early August is still hot, and cicadas are chirping in the mountains and forests.

Time flies, and it is already September.

Meng Yuan was in charge of the charge of a hundred households, and assisted Zhang Guinian in his work at the garrison every day. He no longer had to deal with the Buddhist demon and Luo's mother, so he led a leisurely life.

Moreover, his martial arts cultivation has not fallen behind. Meng Yuan has opened ten more places in the upper thirty-three heavens, and now more than half of them have been opened.

If everything goes well, it will be able to run for thirty-three days before November.

After finishing her shift that day, Xiangling came up to me and said, "Third Madam said she wanted to see you!"

"What's the matter?" Meng Yuan asked.

"I don't know!" Xiangling shook her head vigorously. "You should go quickly. Third Grandma just took a bath and is in a good mood!"

Meng Yuan glanced at Xiangling and felt that Xiangling had been in Jingyuan for too long and had become a bit of a treacherous minister.
