From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 715

After speaking, he happily went straight to the main table.

Mei Qingke and the others were very happy to hear the fireworks, and ordered the servants to put away the lanterns they had chosen, and then quickly sat down to eat. After eating, she took Mei Jingxing and Xiaodouzi to set off the fireworks.

When she was young, Mei Xin also liked to play with fireworks, but now that she has grown up, she has no interest or mood. She waits for her siblings to eat before getting up and leaving.

Originally it was cold at night and she should go back to her room to rest, but she couldn't sleep because of something on her mind.I don't know if I ate too much at night, my stomach was a little bloated, and my heart was stuffy, so Mei Xin took the cardamom and walked to the Yanyu Building near the center of the lake.

Yanyu Tower was the name she changed personally, and there was no plaque on it before, and people in the house called it Wanglou.As the name suggests, the watchtower is four stories high. Standing on the fourth floor, you can see the entire Prince Liang Mansion and even the capital.

For the sake of the safety of the mansion, there were no people on the upper floor of Yanyu at twelve hours a day, not only guards but also archers, and crossbows were drawn in four directions, east, west, north, south.They are all made of fine iron, more than twice the size of ordinary bows and arrows, and they are extremely lethal. One arrow shot out can directly nail a person to the wall.

When Mei Xin went up, it happened to be in time for the guards to change the guard. After saluting and saying hello, she said, "Bring me the binoculars that Shizi brought back."

Perhaps because he heard that the capital is not peaceful, Gu Jiu has figured out many good things recently, and the binoculars is one of them.

Ge Dazhuang took the order to get it immediately, and after taking it, he handed it to Mei Xin and said: "Brothers have tried it, and they all say that it is easier to use than before, and it can see farther and clearer."

Smiling slightly, she stretched out her hand to take it, Mei Xin put it in front of her eyes and said, "It is said that there are only three, who owns them now?"

If there is no war, it is useless for her to carry this thing at all times, and good steel must be used wisely.

As a scout, Ge Dazhuang really liked the binoculars, and he replied truthfully: "There are one for the front and back doors, and one for the watchtower. Don't worry, Major General, brothers are careful, and will never lose it or damage it." gone."

These things are precious, I heard that Gu Jiu worked so hard to make six of them, and the son of the world kept three in the army to observe the enemy's situation.

Mei Xin knew that they cherished the essential things for marching and fighting, so she said with confidence: "I know, you go and do your work, I'll watch it here for a while."

The night was dark, but because it was New Year's Eve, every household was lit with lights, and it was as bright as day.

After saluting and leaving Ge Dazhuang to stand guard, Mei Xin adjusted the distance of the binoculars and handed it to Dou Kou, "It's better than before, take a look."

While speaking, a spark of fireworks shot straight into the sky, and exploded with a bang, the fireworks were as gorgeous as a shooting star.

It's very beautiful and I like it very much, but I didn't expect that the fireworks would be released from the next door Zongzhenghou's mansion.Haven't they already moved back? Why are there still people living in it? Could it be that they sold it off?

Dou Kou was puzzled and saw a suspicious looking woman, she was holding a wolf cub in her hand and carrying a big burden on her back, and she was coming towards the Liang Palace without any haste.

Frowning slightly, thinking in her heart, fearing that she might be the wolf girl that Lu Qingchuan said, Doukou immediately handed the binoculars back to Mei Xin and said, "Young General, I seem to have seen the wolf girl."

Turning her head in a daze, Mei Xin took the binoculars to look at the gate and at the same time ordered: "Call Chuanzi to come here."

She was very curious about the wolf girl, and her appearance was too timely, and her elder brother's unusual reaction made her a little nervous and vigilant.

Dou Kou took the order and immediately waved to Ge Dazhuang, telling him to call Lu Qingchuan over, she said: "It seems that we have arrived at the gate, do you want your servant to go and have a look?"

Adjusting the distance to see her face clearly, Mei Xin said calmly, "No, wait for Chuanzi to come up and confirm."

Seeing that the wolf cub she held in her arms was not that big, it seemed that it had been born less than two months ago, Mei Xin was even more puzzled.

Wolves live in packs, at least as a family, and even dozens or even hundreds of wolves come and go together. It seems unreasonable for a wolf cub to leave its mother wolf shortly after birth.

"Doukou, take a closer look at the wolf cub she is holding in her hand, is it Yeyue wolf?" Mei Xin handed her the binoculars again while speaking.The regions are different, and the Yeyue wolf in Liangzhou is different from the wolves near the capital, and also different from the wolves in the east.Therefore, she wanted to determine what kind of wolf the wolf girl was holding.

Cardamom had killed wolves before, so she was quite familiar with Yeyue wolf.Taking over the binoculars and observing carefully, she shook her head slightly and said, "It looks like it but I can't be sure, the wolf cub is too small and can only see a head, and the distance is a bit far away, so I can't see clearly."

She is cautious by nature, and she is very serious in what she says and does.Therefore, she would never talk nonsense like Luo Qiu, and if it wasn't because she was familiar with wolves, she wouldn't be able to determine that it was a wolf and not a dog just by those eyes.

At this time, Lu Qingchuan rushed all the way, and when he saw Mei Xin, he bowed first and said, "Young General..."

The words were interrupted by Mei Xin, who only heard her say: "Don't be too polite at this time, let's see if it's her."

Seeing that she was about to reach the gate, Mei Xin couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Lu Qingchuan got up and took the binoculars handed over by Dou Kou, looked at it for a while before bowing and said: "Yes, she was the one who saved the eldest son in Liangzhou, and she was the one who met on North Street. She was still dressed as before. Carrying a big burden and holding a wolf cub in her arms, but she didn't pay attention to what the eldest son said to her at the time, how did she find her home now?"

Mei Xin also wanted to know very much, especially after seeing her go up the steps in front of her own gate, she was even more confused and full of doubts.

Not knowing what she wanted and why she came here, Mei Xin thought about it and said: "Don't tell elder brother about this, you can go to the gate and have a look, if there is no place to live or if you need money, just give it to her and let her Go to the inn to stay. You have to repay her life-saving grace. If she has any other needs, as long as she is not meeting her elder brother or entering the mansion, she will be satisfied. In addition, send someone to find out when she entered Beijing. Who has been in contact with, and sent someone to follow her secretly."

In troubled times, the capital is not safe, and the lives of the entire family are entrusted to her, so she dare not be careless.Therefore, she is not willing to let any outsider live in her house now, especially if she is a person of unknown origin, and she has to send it away early.

Lu Qingchuan understood, took the order and immediately went straight to the gate.

Because Liang Wang Mei Zhannan's injury has not healed, Liang Wang's mansion has been closed to thank guests, but the door has not been opened, only the corner door has been opened.In addition, it was getting late and the corner gate was closed. When Lu Qingchuan arrived, the soldiers guarding the gate were preparing to report.
