From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 95 Peacock Elder

The dinner was scheduled at Zuiyue Tower.

There were more than a dozen people in total. In addition to the small flags, there were also several young captains, all of whom were Zhang Guinian's trusted subordinates.

Even General Yang Huaiyi was present.

After some drinking and chatting about useless things for a long time, the party finally ended.

The banquet was held for Meng Yuan, so Meng Yuan naturally drank a lot.

However, Meng Yuan never dared to get drunk. He was still sober, just slightly tipsy.

"How about we go to my house and rest for a night?" Nie Qingqing suggested in a low voice.

When Meng Yuan saw Nie Yannian still talking to Zhang Guinian outside Zuiyue Tower, he felt that the plan was not feasible.

But when he smelled the faint fragrance and looked at Nie Qingqing's chest, Meng Yuan's heart was moved. He finally squeezed her hand quietly and said, "Wait until I go to work tomorrow."

Nie Qingqing nodded, her face slightly flushed.

"I'm planning to buy a house. Does sister have any good ideas?" Meng Yuan asked.

"Why waste money?" Nie Qingqing smiled, "Just stay at my house. It's not far from the guard post, and you can come over for lunch at noon."

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Is Master Nie willing?" Meng Yuan asked in a low voice.

"There is another house over there in Wuxing. He likes to live there. Don't worry about it." Nie Qingqing vowed.

"I'll do as you say, sister." The beauty was so kind that Meng Yuan felt like he was about to eat too much.

Meng Yuan is a shameless man. It's nothing that he relies on Nie Qingqing at home and on the third young lady outside.

The two talked for a while, and then Meng Yuan said goodbye to Zhang Guinian and Nie Yannian.

When I returned to the palace, I saw candles on in the kitchen and Jiang Tang was still busy.

"Brother?" Jiang Tang walked forward happily and sniffed, "I just made some hangover soup."

She nodded towards the main hall and said, "The prince has been waiting for you. And Mr. Wang, grandpa has been talking to him for quite a while."

Meng Yuan had naturally heard the noise a long time ago, so he said, "Go to sleep first, don't worry about it."

"I'll boil some more water." Jiang Tang said happily, "I'll give you a foot soak later."

"Okay." Meng Yuan rubbed her head and went to find Dugu Kang. He didn't go into the house, but just looked inside through the window.

There was a table with Dugu Kang and Mr. Wang sitting on either side, listening with great interest to Jiang Shuanyou's talk about the art of castrating cattle and sheep.

Meng Yuan listened for a while before pushing the door open.

"Oh! The poet Meng is back!" Dugu Kang was extremely happy.

Meng Yuan just felt powerless.

Perhaps Dugu Kang had been holding it in for too long, pretending to be innocent for too long, so few people spoke serious words to him, let alone tried to strike up a witty conversation with him.

Therefore, after Meng Yuan knew his identity, he would come to Meng Yuan from time to time. Even if Meng Yuan did not respond, he would still talk about something irrelevant, just hoping that Meng Yuan would interrupt him, and then he would make some extremely boring remarks.

"Prince." Meng Yuan was too lazy to bow.

"Is Teacher Xiao Meng drinking outside?" Mr. Wang asked with a smile.

"I drank a little." Meng Yuan was very impolite and said, "I will take the prince back."

"Please sit for a while." Dugu Kang was very thick-skinned.

"Then I'll go back first." Mr. Wang was very smart and ran away directly.

Meng Yuan pulled Dugu Kang out of the yard.

"What did you do today? I got a great idea." Dugu Kang said with a smile.

"I am now a small flag of the Demon Suppression Bureau." Meng Yuan said in a low voice, "I specialize in capturing demons, and I will not let go of any evildoers."

"Amitabha, I hope you will commit less sins of killing." Dugu Kang put his hands together, as if he didn't hear the threatening words.

"You are not allowed to come to my house to look for me in the future." Meng Yuan made a rule, "Mr. Jiang is old and cannot stay up late. The little girl follows Miss San and must go there at dawn and go to bed early." After saying this, Meng Yuan added, "If you dare to come again, I will never speak to you again, never sing a poem with you again, and never exchange witty words with you again."

"I will listen to Master Meng." Seeing that Meng Yuan was so cruel, Dugu Kang quickly expressed his attitude.

"Tell me what's the matter." Meng Yuan said.

"Jie Kaiping must be alive. There is no rumor in the city that I practice Buddhism, which shows that he did not spread the news of my practice." Dugu Kang said seriously, "I guess he has big plans, and I am not even a target. You have to be careful."

"..." Meng Yuan rubbed his brows and asked, "Is that why you said this?"

"Also, I want to ask when you are going out so that we can go for a walk together and exchange some wits." Dugu Kang said expectantly.

"You are too obsessed with appearances. It's useless to play tricks. It's useless to not play tricks. Let's talk about it when we have time." Meng Yuan sighed helplessly and asked, "When you are free, go out more often and get some information."

"What news?" Dugu Kang asked.

"It's all right." Meng Yuan said evasively.

After sending Dugu Kang back, Meng Yuan returned home.

Old Mr. Jiang had already gone to bed, but Jiang Tang was waiting in Meng Yuan's room.

"The water is ready." Jiang Tang brought the water and said happily, "Come on, come on."

Meng Yuan didn't want her to wash, but Jiang Tang was very determined and insisted on doing it herself.

Unable to persuade this girl, Meng Yuan could only let her do as she pleased.

After washing his feet, Meng Yuan sat cross-legged and said seriously, "Don't go out recently. Just stay by the princess' side. I have a job outside now, so I won't be back tomorrow."

"Then you have to be careful." Jiang Tang nodded, and then suddenly said: "Brother, you are not going to stay at Sister Nie's house?"

Meng Yuan just felt that it was happiest to get along with Tie Niu, and there was no need to use any ulterior motives.

Squeezing Jiang Tang's hand, Meng Yuan said, "Whether you stay or not, you and I are a family."

Jiang Tang nodded and whispered, "I'm older too."

She muttered for a long time, and Meng Yuan could only hold her hand and say nice things for a while before finally persuading her to leave.

The next day, after breakfast, Meng Yuan rode the little red horse all the way to the guard post.

It was time to count, and before Meng Yuan and Gong Zihua could even finish chatting, they saw Zhang Guinian gathering his men.

"Let's go! We'll talk on the way!" Zhang Guinian didn't say anything more and named Gong Zihua, Zhang Lingfeng, Meng Yuan, and twelve other captains.

"I'll go too." Yang Huaiyi, General Yang, suddenly spoke up.

"Old Yang, you didn't like going out before. What's wrong today?" Zhang Guinian asked with a smile.

"Brothers, go ahead. It's not good for me to hide all the time. Don't worry, I won't give orders randomly. Just let Xiao Zhang and Xiao Gong take care of it. I'll just take the credit." Yang Huaiyi said with a smile: "Besides, with Meng Xiaoqi's rising star, I will learn from my mistakes and then be brave!"

"We can't compare with young people!" Zhang Guinian laughed.

As the two of them were talking, Meng Yuan and Gong Zihua walked out of the garrison and headed south.

"What are we going to do this time?" Meng Yuan had been reminded by Nie Yannian that he would be able to make a contribution in the next two days, but he did not know the details.

"The spies down below reported that Sect Leader Luo is back again," said Gong Zihua.

"When did it happen?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.

"It happened before, but it was not a big deal, and we never caught any big fish." Gong Zihua whispered, "But a few days ago, he said that a master came and he was going to preach today."

"Master? How tall?" Meng Yuan asked with a frown.

"Who knows?" Gong Zihua became more serious and said, "I only heard that the master's name is Elder Peacock."

"We have external aid, right?" When Meng Yuan heard the Peacock Elder, he immediately thought of opening the flying fox.

"Of course." Gong Zihua smiled.
