Chapter 499 Mysterious Background
Kuang Tianyou invited Meng Zhao to board the ship again, Liang Muqiu served as a temporary guard, and Azhu, Han Lu and Lu Le stayed on the ship.
No accident happened this time.
When I arrived in the cabin, I saw a square table in the center, where there were several plates of unmoved side dishes and hot wine, and there were soft cushions on the side. It was obvious that I had prepared for it.
"Brother, I wonder if these assassins just now came for you or for me?"
This is Meng Zhao's opening remark and a true doubt in his heart.
If he came for Meng Zhao, he wouldn't know very well. Who had offended recently? It would be fine if the news about Youjiao was in his hands. There was no movement, who would come to kill him?
Lei family? It should not be clear that the Seven Monsters of Minshan are already doing things under him, so there is no reason to seek revenge on him. It is unlikely that the Qin family of Julu Hou was.
But if it came for this, Kuang Tianyou, why was he who was assassinated, not this person?
Kuang Tianyou lowered his posture and took the initiative to pour water into the wine glasses in front of Meng Zhao and Liang Muqiu, saying,
"Mr. Meng was frightened. These people did come for me. The reason why they assassinated the young master was not necessarily a murder, but just wanted to destroy the possible cooperative relationship."
Meng Zhao did not comment and took a sip of wine. It was a little different from ordinary wine. It was slightly spicy and sweet, and warmth flowed into his abdomen. He felt a surge of heat filling the meridians. Not to mention the increase in internal strength, it was quite capable of strengthening the body. Meng Zhao, who had always been unaccustomed to drinking, raised his mind and asked,
"This wine is good. This is the first time I have drunk it. I wonder where Mr. Kuang got it from?"
Kuang Tianyou smiled slightly, his deep eyes flashed brightly, and said mysteriously,
"This is the tribute wine presented to the Beitang royal family in Ningzhou, the southernmost part of Dayong. It is called Xiangquan wine. The annual output is only 300 jars, of which 200 jars will be sent to the palace. The remaining 100 jars will be divided by princes and nobles.
However, if Mr. Meng likes this fragrant spring wine, he can accept Mr. Twenty jars every year, which is already the limit."
Meng Zhao clamped the wine glass and slapped slightly. This sentence seemed to explain the origin of the wine. Isn’t it also showing Meng Zhao his strength?
In his perception, the land of Jianan Pass is a poor, difficult, and marginal area that even dogs don’t go to, and they may not be able to fill their stomachs even if they eat, so it is regarded as a place of exile. Exile here is already a moderate punishment.
Now it seems that he made an empiricist mistake. Using existing cognition to understand the ever-changing world is probably not a long-term way.
Meng Zhao did not follow up, but took some vegetarian dishes for Liang Muqiu very considerately. After getting the beauty to smile, she turned around and asked curiously.
"I'll talk about the drinking matter in the future. I really want to know now. Brother Kuang came to find Meng Zhao today. What happened to him? He even caused a killer to cause trouble. It's really a bit of a big deal!"
Kuang Tianyou's face turned solemn, his chest was raised, his waist was straight, and he looked straight,
“It’s a big deal, a good thing.
Mr. Meng knew that the Human cavalry broke the sky outside the Jizhou, and the Human cavalry attacked the border, while the Ninth Prince of Dayong and Prince Fu made a quick decision. Chen Dayong's elite army practiced the style of strengthening the army outside the pass, shocked the foreign tribes, and eliminated a war with great achievements?"
When talking about this, Meng Zhao's heart suddenly felt like a cloud of sunlight flashing, like an invisible silk thread, connecting some fragments and various information together to guess something.
He did not deny Beitang's achievements and nodded in praise.
"This matter should be the most talked about in Jizhou in recent times. From all kinds of high-ranking officials and nobles, powerful people in the world, to peddlers and barracks, to all the various religions and sects, they are all talking about this matter.
The ninth prince, who was originally unknown, has now risen in Jizhou, and I admire him very much.
But why did Brother Kuang ask such a question? Could it be that what you said is related to the Ninth Prince?"
Kuang Tianyou nodded, a hint of fanaticism appeared on his pale face like a gambler, and the dark corners of his lips were lightly opened.
"Mr. Meng said it was still conservative, not just Jizhou, but in the north. Who doesn't know the achievements of the Ninth Prince's iron-fisted shocking Hu Man and protecting the peace and stability of the border without any disturbance?
Moreover, I heard one thing. In the court, there seemed to be a plan for Prince Fu, Prince Fu, the ninth prince of Jin, to be the King of Fu, and to increase the number of households. At the same time, the general of Liangzhou will be added. In this way, the governor of Ji and Liangzhou will be the only one who is invincible for the current princes.”
Meng Zhao's face changed. He didn't know about this news, and there was no news at the moment. He should still be in the stage of wrestling among the big men in Yujing City.
The Yizi Prince was already the pinnacle in the Dayong Dynasty, besides the crown prince. As a prince, he was also in charge of the country, governors and governors with military and political power, and natural legal system and strength coexisted. Even the central dynasty had to worry about raising an evil dragon, and various open and secret struggles were naturally indispensable.
However, as long as you are determined and rely on real achievements, it should be a little trouble, and the possibility of passing the situation is extremely high.
Meng Jizu may know the inside story, but how can a mere loser family who was exiled to Jianan Pass know such a secret news?
He once again thought of the twenty jars of fragrant spring wine that Kuang Tianyou promised him, which was something that ordinary relationship could get.
It can be considered that behind the Kuang family, there should be a big-minded figure in the capital who is trading. As for who it is, Meng Zhao has no way of knowing, but he is generally inclined to the power of the Ninth Prince.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Meng Zhao did not dare to continue thinking deeply, where he was and what preparations he made. He is now away from the court and does not intend to hang out in the court for the time being. The secret of these bigwigs confronting the royal forces has no meaning to him.
However, he once again confirmed that Kuang Tianyou was planning to come to him.
"It seems that Brother Kuang's news is very well-informed. I have no information yet. But Brother Kuang can receive messages from the capital in Jianan Pass. No wonder he can even get tribute wine."
Kuang Tianyou's eyelids twitched. He really didn't expect that Meng Zhao was so cunning and never showed any strangeness. He also used words to test it from time to time. It was indeed not a simple person.
Think about it and know it.
Meng Zhao has been a man who has been away from home for ten years and is a mascot in the monk temple. Less than a year after returning to his family, he has done several major things one after another, and has been praised and favored. How could he be a simple and easy-to-dealer?
Kuang Tianyou replied if he had any advice,
"Although Jianan Pass is under heavy control, Mr. Meng should know one thing: having money can make the devil push. In the eyes of outsiders, the Jianan Pass is probably a very different difference from the actual Jianan Pass.
Therefore, it is not surprising that some insignificant relationships can be obtained under the slightest.
As for whether this news is true, Kuang cannot guarantee it. After all, as long as the above does not issue an order for a day, the news is just news, and there is uncertainty and it will never become a fact.
However, sometimes, timely help is far better than adding icing on the cake.
