Stunning weapon

The peaceful dinner party was ruined by the sudden official letter from the Ministry of War. Mei Shichang issued several military orders in a row, and then his face eased a little, but looking at his current appearance, he still looked preoccupied.

"Commander Mei, how is the situation on the southern front? Did you say anything in the official letter from the Ministry of War?" Seeing Tang Enli in a daze, Xia Chuyue stepped forward and asked softly.

Only then did Tang Enli come to his senses, he hurriedly got up and said, "Commander Mei, how are you doing?"

Mei Shichang glanced at him, frowning tightly, and said lightly: "The Southern Tang army has broken through Jingzhou, and now the southern line is fully retreating to Cangzhou, and the situation is in danger."

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and lead troops to support." Tang Enli was in a hurry, and only now did he realize that the purpose of his trip was to get Mei Shichang to prepare reinforcements. Drinking here, when the incident gets out, Mei Shichang can say that he has not received the imperial edict for reinforcements, and he himself has not given it out. Thinking of this, he broke out in cold sweat, trembling with fear, and his tone became imperative.

"Master Tang, when will your Ministry of Rituals be able to ask me about the Northern Xinjiang camp?" Mei Shichang turned cold and said while looking at him

"I..." Tang Enli was choked back by Mei Shichang's words. He opened his mouth and couldn't say anything. At this time, the official letter from the Ministry of War had already been issued. If he took out the secret order again, it would have been too late. Mei Shichang Shichang can punish him for the crime of dereliction of duty and delay of military aircraft. Although he is a third-rank official in the court, Mei Shichang has no right to directly convict him, but he will be escorted back to Youzhou, the capital, and a joint impeachment report will be added. It can still be done. At that time, even if the emperor wants to protect him, he will give Mei Shichang some face when the country is facing a crisis, and it is inevitable that he will be in prison.Therefore, even if you are angry in your heart, you can only suppress it.

In fact, Mei Shichang had already expected this. If he could talk to him in a pleasant manner in normal times, but now he didn't want to entangle him anymore, he simply blocked his mouth with one word.

Xia Chuyue gave Tang Enli a hard look, bowed to Mei Shichang, and said, "Don't blame Commander Mei, the slave family is originally a girl, and I really shouldn't join the army, but if the southern line is broken, it will be the root of a crisis country." The slave family has no other intentions, only to ask Commander Mei to put state affairs first and send reinforcements as soon as possible."

For a smart woman like Xia Chuyue, Mei Shichang still gave her some face, and although Xia Chuyue's words implied cleverness, it was also reasonable, so she couldn't help but calm down, and said: "What madam said is that the commander should be Dedicated to everything, I dare not slacken the slightest slack in the affairs of state, today's dinner is over, forgive Mei, who has important matters to attend to, and cannot accompany her."

"National affairs are important, and Mei is in command." Xia Chuyue saluted again.

"Come here, send Mrs. Tang and his wife back to their rooms." Mei Shichang left behind a word, didn't bother to pay attention to Tang Enli, passed him directly, went to Steward Wang's side, and whispered calmly: "After arranging these, wait for me in the study."

Steward Wang hummed softly, and said politely to Tang Enli: "Don't blame me, Mr. Tang. My family's leader is worried about state affairs. If you make a slip of the tongue, don't worry about it."

Tang Enli was originally tricked by Mei Shichang into not coming to Taiwan, but Steward Wang's words just gave him a step down, and he immediately snorted coldly and said: "Tang knows, how can I let the leader of one party treat me like a third rank in the Ministry of Rites?" See, I know Tang is still there, once today is over, Tang will leave immediately and dare not stay any longer..." After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and strode towards his guest room.

Xia Chuyue looked at Tang Enli from the side, shook her head in disappointment, bid farewell to Mo Xiaochuan politely, and then left with Steward Wang.

Mei Shichang came to Mo Xiaochuan's side with a serious face, watching him thinking about something, after a while, just when Mo Xiaochuan was in doubt and couldn't help asking, Mei Shichang took a deep breath and said: "Come with me!" After saying that, he turned his head and left.

Mo Xiaochuan was the only one in a daze, and hurried to follow immediately.

The two walked in tandem, Mo Xiaochuan looked at the direction, and his doubts suddenly rose. This direction seemed to go to the ancestral hall. Why did Mei Shichang take himself to the ancestral hall at night?

Mei Shichang in front suddenly stopped in front of the ancestral hall, looked at the gate of the ancestral hall solemnly, and stood still.Mo Xiaochuan stood behind him, not daring to move, and waited quietly.After a while, Mei Shichang pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, walked in, and said, "Come in."

Mo Xiaochuan hesitated for a moment, then walked in.

Mei Shichang went straight to the back hall, and then stopped. Mo Xiaochuan followed him closely, and saw him staring at the tablet on the confession case in a daze, and did not dare to speak. Today's Mei Shichang is too different from the past. The gentle smile that should have been there has never appeared since he received the official letter from the Ministry of War. Such a Mei Shichang made him unable to adapt for a while.

"Kneel down." Mei Shichang said lightly.

Mo Xiaochuan was taken aback, kept silent, but did not kneel down as he said. Although he had been in this world for a long time, he still couldn't get used to this way of making people kneel down every now and then.

After waiting for a while, Mei Shichang didn't see Mo Xiaochuan kneeling down. He walked forward slowly, picked up an unnamed tablet, turned around, and said, "Do you know whose it belongs to?"

Mo Xiaochuan looked at the blank tablet and shook his head.

"He belongs to Mei Shaochuan." Mei Shichang's voice suddenly turned cold.

Hearing this name, Mo Xiaochuan felt his scalp go numb and his complexion changed slightly. However, as he got to know the Mei family, he no longer expected that Mei Shichang would not know that he was a fake.Besides, some time ago, although Mei Shichang didn't say it explicitly, he had revealed it to him implicitly, intending to recognize him as his son.It's just that this matter was brought up again today, but Mo Xiaochuan couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

"Master Mei, what are you going to do with me?" Mo Xiaochuan's face darkened, and he said, "I really don't want to be him, but everyone treats me as him, and I really have no choice." speech.

Mei Shichang didn't expect Mo Xiaochuan to be so frank. He looked at him, and suddenly, with a strong palm, the tablet in his hand broke into several pieces with the sound of cracking. After throwing the pieces of wood aside, he looked at the pieces of wood, The pain on Mei Shichang's face flashed away, he clenched his fist, and slowly dropped the sawdust on the ground, glanced at Mo Xiaochuan, his complexion improved slightly, and said: "After thinking about it, I still think he You are not qualified to enter the ancestral hall, and I brought you here today, just to let you enter here a hundred years later. How to decide is entirely up to you."

Mei Shichang's words, in Mo Xiaochuan's ears, were like a thunderbolt, deafening, making him stay there for a long while, before he came to his senses, and said in surprise: "Master Mei, the origin of my identity , you don't know anything, that's it..."

Mei Shichang raised his palm, interrupted his words, and said: "I'm very pleased that you can say that. You said that I don't know anything about you, but it's not entirely true. Although I haven't been able to find out your life experience, But one thing is certain, your coming to Mei's house is purely God's will, not deliberately arranged by anyone, this is enough."

Mo Xiaochuan lowered his head in thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Then I will still be him from now on?"

"You are you." Mei Shichang said calmly: "Although you still use his name, it is definitely not him. Do you understand what I mean?"

Mo Xiaochuan was a little hesitant for a while. Once upon a time, he had been imagining that if Mei Shichang really recognized him, then he would not have to worry about it all day long.But when Mei Shichang really said this sentence, he hesitated. After thinking about it, Mo Xiaochuan showed a bitter look, and finally sighed softly, saying: "I understand."

Mei Shichang nodded in satisfaction, and the expression on his fat face softened a bit, and he said, "Then when are you going to call me daddy?"

Mo Xiaochuan opened his mouth, but couldn't cry out.

Seeing his embarrassment, Mei Shichang waved it and said, "That's all! Call me later." After speaking, he took a big step, spared the confession, came to a corner, opened two palms lightly, and the corner The wall suddenly turned around, and a secret door appeared. Mei Shichang walked in and said, "Come in!"

Mo Xiaochuan followed him in, and saw that the space inside was quite large, with files of various colors lined up. In the center, a sword was stuck on a stone with strange patterns, which was exactly what he saw in the back hall of the ancestral hall that day.Seeing it suddenly, Mo Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment. Xiaoyao came here to steal the sword. He had already noticed this. Later, after Xiaoyao left, Steward Wang ordered those who had seen her not to mention him. Said it was a female thief.Mo Xiaochuan always thought that the sword had been stolen by Xiaoyao, but he didn't expect it to still be there.

"What she stole was a fake one." Through observing Mo Xiaochuan during this period of time, Mei Shichang naturally knew that he was naturally intelligent, and such things should not be hidden from him. Besides, he had no intention of hiding it from him, so he simply He said it straight out, and as he spoke, he walked to the sword, stretched out his hand to hold the hilt tightly, and exerted strength with his arm, but the sword did not move at all. He couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, saying: "Only you can pull out this sword, and it belongs to you." .”

Ever since he pulled out the sword that day, Mo Xiaochuan felt that the hilt of the sword was very kind, but these days he has not been able to guarantee whether he can live safely, so he has no extravagant hopes for this sword. He only used bamboo sticks for sword practice. It wasn't that he really couldn't find a sword. The reason for this was that he still had it in his heart. When he heard that Mei Shichang was going to give it to him, his face suddenly showed a gleam of joy, and he stepped forward. , holding the hilt of the sword.

Putting the palm on the hilt of the sword again, I only felt the familiar feeling come again, and the body was also very comfortable. I exerted a little force, "Cang!" When the long sword was pulled out, the streamer was shining, and there seemed to be a red light flowing on the blade. After a while, , the brilliance is introverted, and it is already ordinary. Mo Xiaochuan gently stroked the sword body, a little absent-minded, looked at it for a while, raised his head, and said, "Really give it to me?"

Mei Shichang nodded, took out a scabbard from the weapon rack beside him and threw it to him, saying, "From now on, it will be your saber."

Mo Xiaochuan inserted the long sword into the sheath, and bowed deeply to Mei Shichang, his gratitude was beyond words.

Mei Shichang patted him on the shoulder, with a slight smile on his face, and said, "Let's go! Go back tonight and get ready. Follow me to the army in the morning."

"Yes!" Mo Xiaochuan agreed.The two walked out of the ancestral hall, Mei Shichang motioned for him to go back, and then went straight to the study.

In the study, Steward Wang was already waiting. When he saw Mei Shichang coming in, he was about to stand up. Mei Shichang pressed his hand weakly, and said, "How did Tang Enli and Xia Chuyue react?"

"Tang Enli returned to the house and cursed in a low voice, threatening to return to Youzhou tomorrow. Xia Chuyue is very peaceful and has already fallen asleep." Steward Wang replied.

"Tang Enli, scholarly spirit, arrogance and arrogance are nothing to worry about. However, don't let him go tomorrow, and the army is marching soon, so don't let him cause any trouble." Mei Shichang said in a low voice: "As for Xia Chuyue, as long as she Don't take the initiative to interfere with the affairs of the army, and don't make things difficult for her."

"Okay, please don't worry, master. It's very easy to get Tang Enli to stay, and I'll do it later." Steward Wang nodded.

"Hmm!" Mei Shichang didn't ask Steward Wang what method to use. In his opinion, these are trivial matters, and there is nothing to worry about when Steward Wang handles them.After putting this matter aside, he said again: "Inform Han Cheng that after the three armies are assembled tomorrow morning, let him wait for me in front of the mansion."

"Yes!" Steward Wang said, walked out of the study, waved lightly, and several followers appeared around him.

Inform Han Cheng,
