From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 747 A Moving Target
"Who are you staring at?" Mei Zhannan came in with a cold air while speaking.

Mei Jinze got up and gave up his seat and said with a smile: "No one, Dad, why did you come back so soon, the Jiajing County Lord is gone?"

Startled, Mei Zhannan raised his eyebrows, sat down next to the brazier and asked strangely: "How do you know it's her, did you see it?"

Impossible, at first she didn't even open the car curtains, and didn't even show her hands, so it was impossible for him to see it.

Mei Jinze didn't see it, but he wasn't stupid, a group of maids and maids followed, and the sedan chair was not an ordinary green-wrapped sedan chair, and it came at night, so who else could there be if it wasn't her.

Shaking his head to indicate no, he sat down beside him and said, "I guess, but what is she doing here at this time, maybe she heard about Liangzhou...ah, I care about you."

Winking and laughing, at the end he was embarrassed himself.Speaking of which, he didn't dislike his father's reunion, and he didn't hate Wen Ruyan when he met Wen Ruyan at the palace banquet.Seeing her seem to be nervous all the time Father is happy for him.

It's not easy to have a caring person who knows how to feel when you're in your teens.

Ignoring his son's jokes, Mei Zhannan opened the secret letter in his hand and looked at it, saying: "It seems that Tayan's second prince Nurhei is really dead, but I don't know whether he died in the hands of his own people or by the enemy. hand."

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. As the sons of King Tayan, they are naturally fighting for power, not to mention that they all claim to be wolf cubs, so naturally they cannot escape the fate of brotherhood.

Speaking of being angry and black, she thought of Nurqi, Mei Xin stretched out her hand to take the secret letter and looked at it and said: "There has been no trace of him, so he is dead, but according to my understanding of the fourth prince of Tayan, Nurqi, he is probably dead. He killed it. Dad, do you think this time Tayan united with all the ministries has something to do with it?"

The nineteenth city of Liangzhou was under martial law for several months, and not even a fly could fly out. If so, where did the news get back to Tayan?

Mei Zhannan thinks so, after all, Ta Yan will not starve to death in a short period of time without spilling a grain of food, no matter what they can survive the winter, and the best time to fight is in spring.

In spring, the vegetation is lush, the horses are fat and the soldiers are strong, and they come to snatch it every spring.Therefore, there must be another reason for unexpectedly dispatching 50 soldiers and horses against the blizzard.

Before they had time to answer, Yuan Muqiu, Osmanthus osmanthus and others came in, all carrying food in their hands and filing in: "That's great, the general is back, hurry up and eat while it's hot."

Dumplings are made early in the morning and cook quickly, but the noodles are different, so they have to be rolled out now.Mei Jinze likes to eat strong wide noodles, but it takes time just to knead the noodles, so the time is longer.

Mei Jinze was already hungry, so she got up to help her father and then her sister, and then the three of them sat down at the table at the same time.

Although it's past dinner time, the kitchen has prepared a lot of food because of the Chinese New Year.Therefore, Yuan Muqiu prepared very well.

There are mutton noodles, mutton and leek dumplings, braised foie gras, fried lamb belly, cold pig ears, vinegared Chinese cabbage, and crystal elbow plus five big steamed buns.A table was full, all of which were their family's favorite dishes on weekdays.

Mei Jinze was hungry when he was in the palace, even if he went home and ate a plate of snacks, it would be like a muddy cow sinking into the sea, he couldn't help but move his index finger when he saw so many delicious foods.

"Father, Xin'er, I'm hungry, I'm going to eat." While speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and ate the ramen directly, regardless of whether it was hot or not, it took a while to finish eating.

Mei Xin saw that he was really hungry, and while pouring wine from the pot, she said, "Brother, I really didn't blame you, you have to change your eating habits, and when you marry a sister-in-law, you won't be frightened when you eat like this. Hululu A bowl of noodles, I wonder if you chewed it."

Because of her experience in the army, she eats very fast, but Dr. Han once saw her and said her.It is said that eating should be eaten slowly, otherwise it will put a burden on the stomach. Why did she have stomach discomfort from time to time before, it is also related to the speed of her eating.

After eating a bowl of noodles, Mei Jinze took a plate of dumplings and said, "It's the same whether the noodles are soft or chewy. Besides, I'm hungry."

He raised his head and smiled at Yuan Muqiu, and he praised without hesitation: "The skill of Ganniang's rolling noodles is really good. It's firm and crisp, and it tastes good. I like it the most."

After finishing speaking, he picked up a big dumpling with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Yuan Muqiu was about to quit, and when she heard this, she was very happy and said: "As long as the son likes it, I'm afraid I'll get bored after eating it for so many years."

With a mouth full of dumplings, Mei Jinze waved her hand to indicate that she would not be able to open her mouth, saying that she would never get tired of eating dumplings.

Knowing that she is getting old now and can't sleep well, she will be sluggish the next day, Mei Xin said: "It's late at night, don't worry about the godmother, there are sweet-scented osmanthus and the others, you should go back to sleep quickly."

Yuan Muqiu agreed, and after saluting to Mei Zhannan, she withdrew.

The family wanted to whisper, Mei Xinping left and right after eating half a bowl of dumplings, she put down her chopsticks and said, "Father, the emperor sent Xiao Qichen to escort you back to Liangzhou, do you know what it means?"

If Mei Zhannan Ding used to be, he wouldn't think much about it, he only thought that the emperor's kindness was mighty.But after so many things, he heard the emperor's subtext, and he figured it out on the way back.

Still somewhat bitter in his heart, a little uneasy, Mei Zhannan picked up his son's wine cup and drank the wine inside.He was a little choked after drinking, he coughed twice and said: "The time is approaching, the emperor doesn't even bother to do superficial work, how could he not know as a father. Xin'er, you already have a way to deal with it? "

Mei Xin didn't speak but made a gesture of wiping her neck. Mei Zhannan shook her head and immediately put down the empty wine cup in her hand and said, "No, this time besides him there are a hundred imperial guards. When I came back, I took a look at the roster. Several of them have good martial arts skills, and I suspect that this is only in the open, and there may be some in the dark."

It is true that the emperor is ill, but he is not confused. On the contrary, because he is about to die, he is eager to clear the way for his son.

Thinking about it carefully, Mei Xin was silent, but it was only for a moment, and after a moment, she said again: "The emperor asked you to separate from the elder brother. I am afraid it is not just a matter of food and grass. I think he is treating you as a living target." .”

There are detailed operations in the capital, not to mention other places. Besides, it is not a secret thing to expedite the eight hundred miles in Liangzhou. My father will probably be targeted as soon as he leaves the house.

Having experienced hundreds of battles, Mei Zhannan knew very well, but knowing was only clear, Liangzhou was invaded by an army, and he, the commander of the Mei family army, would go back no matter what.
