I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 140 Speed ​​Contest
Ming Shifang Baoding Hou Mansion.

Meng Xianying, who just reluctantly took off her silver armor and changed into a regular uniform, is preparing to fight with Wu Zijiang and Wu Zijiang at the Sea Lion Tower.

Seeing Meng Xianying fiddling with the expensive jade pendant around her waist, Wu Zijiang smiled, leaned in front of her and said:

"Brother Meng, how about a competition between the three of us tonight?"

After fiddling with the jade pendant, she started fiddling with the belt again. Meng Xianying said that it should be so:

"What the hell is there to compare it to? Of course, Laozi is the first and you are the second, and Takako is the third."

"I'm not convinced by Brother Meng, why am I the third?"

"You are not convinced."

Finally tidying up her clothes, Meng Xianying raised her eyes and yelled at Li Chenggui, and strided out with faltering strides:

"My father is in command of the Jingwei, and Wu's second is in the Jinwuwei. You are the hidden supervisor of the Jiupin Yangma Temple. The third is not you, who else can it be."

Hearing the words Yangma Temple supervisor, Li Chenggui's face darkened suddenly, and he muttered:
"Whoever let my father fail to live up to expectations earned a seventh-rank Yin seal and returned it to my elder brother."

As soon as he left the mansion, Wu Zijiang saw a eunuch riding a horse galloping this way, and his expression changed slightly:

"Brother Meng, that eunuch looks like he came here for your house."

As soon as Wu Zijiang said this, Meng Xianying and Li Chenggui hurriedly looked around, seeing the eunuch in a round neck shirt getting closer, Meng Xianying cursed secretly, and said anxiously:
"It's for me, you go back to the mansion first to hide."

While speaking, the eunuch was already close at hand.

Wu Zijiang and Li Chenggui hurried inside, leaving only Meng Xianying standing at the gate of the mansion.

"Baoding Marquis Meng Xianying received the order."

The eunuch who came to pass the decree was very vigorous, turned over and jumped off the horse, raised the yellow imperial decree in his hand and shouted loudly.

Meng Xianying's body trembled when she heard the words, and she felt something bad in her heart. Resisting the thought of running away, she knelt on the ground with one knee and raised her hands high:

"The decree of the Marquis of Baoding, Meng Xianying."

The eunuch who came to deliver the decree didn't know what was written in the decree, but seeing that the Marquis of Baoding was so young, he was moved to please him, and smiled and said:
"Your Majesty is honorable, you can receive the order standing up."

Seeing the eunuch's behavior, Meng Xianying felt relieved for a long time. He thought Yang Shiqi didn't care about his son and wanted to fight him to death.

Standing up straight, Meng Xianying looked at the eunuch and smiled lightly. Before he could read the imperial decree, he presented a bank note of one hundred taels of silver.

"Hey, Master Hou is really going to kill this slave, how can this slave be ashamed."

With a strong expression of refusal in his mouth, he skillfully put the bank note into his sleeve. The eunuch looked at Meng Xianying with a flattering face and smiled twice, opened the edict and said:
"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the decree says:

Hou Meng Xianying of Baoding is pure in talent and has a loyal temperament. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Baoding Hou must also miss his father very much...

Special promotion to two levels, transfer to Zhongdu left-behind department, third-rank deputy left-behind post, and immediately take up the post, and must be appointed as Zhongdu left-behind department before the festive season. "

After reading the imperial decree, the flattering smile on the eunuch's face disappeared without a trace.

There are only two kinds of people who are transferred to the left-behind division of Zhongdu.

One is to offend the emperor, and the other is to offend the empress. Only this kind of person will be "specially promoted" to guard the imperial tomb in Zhongdu.

"Menghou Lord, accept the order." Looking up at the sky, the eunuch said calmly.

"The emperor's kindness is immense, and this Marquis is very grateful."

Respectfully receiving the imperial edict with both hands, Meng Xianying didn't bother to look at the eunuch again, and walked towards the Hou's mansion.

As soon as the Hou Mansion entered the courtyard, Wu Zijiang and Li Chenggui were waiting boredly. Seeing Meng Xianying entering with the imperial decree tightly in hand, they were all very curious and said:

"Brother Meng, what imperial decree is it? Maybe His Majesty is going to transfer you to Yunnan to lead the army."

Meng Xianying snorted and sneered twice, her eyes were gloomy like a Gobi vulture, she snapped the imperial decree in two, and said through gritted teeth:

"That old bastard Yang Shiqi is so courageous that he dared to inform the emperor."

"What?" Wu Zijiang's expression changed instantly, and he said urgently:
"Brother Meng, does your majesty know that we killed the envoys of Champa Kingdom?"

Wu Zijiang's face changed drastically because of fright, Li Chenggui has already started to wipe his sweat with his sleeve in a hurry.

Meng Xianying glanced at the two of them, first nodded, then shook her head, and finally frowned, and directly stuffed the imperial edict into the Changxin lamp beside her.

The imperial decree is made of high-quality yellow juan, which burns extremely fast, and within a few breaths, it has already been reduced to a pool of ashes.

Wu Zijiang was unclear about Meng Xianying's previous actions, so he scratched his head a little anxiously, and asked anxiously again:

"Brother Meng, don't nod and shake your head, Guizi and I don't understand."

"The emperor probably doesn't know yet. If the emperor knows, it's not like transferring me to Fengyang to guard the imperial tomb."

Squinting her eyes and staring at the flames of the Changxin Lantern, Meng Xianying's forehead was throbbing with veins, her expression was full of anger:

"That old man Yang Shiqi didn't even care about his son, okay, he's ruthless enough, I admire him."

Hearing that Dongchuang hadn't happened yet, both Wu Zijiang and Li Chenggui heaved a sigh of relief, and Li Chenggui even secretly swore that he would never do such fearful things again.

Seeing Meng Xianying wishing to crush Yang Shiqi to ashes, Wu Zijiang understood that the Sea Lion Building must be ruined tonight, so he sighed and said:

"Brother Meng, what are you going to do now?"

"What should I do?" After sneering twice, Meng Xianying said angrily:
"I want Yang Shiqi to die with his son!"

As she said that, Meng Xianying called her confidant servant in a loud voice, and did not shy away from Wu Zijiang and the two of them:
"Immediately send someone to Sichuan to send a message, telling Huang Zhenjiang that within a month, I will see Yang Dao and his ironclad evidence of tea horse smuggling delivered to the capital."

After finishing the arrangement, Meng Xianying raised her head to look at Wu Zijiang and the two, bared her teeth suddenly, and said with a terrifying smile:

"With Yang Shiqi's move, I will definitely not be able to come back for a few months. We are walking in the Sea Lion Tower, and I will reserve the place today."

Wu Zijiang and Li Chenggui's eyes widened when they heard the word "reserve the venue". It's not cheap to reserve a venue at the Sea Lion Tower. Brother Meng was really stimulated by Yang Shiqi.

For fear of Meng Xianying's repentance, Wu Zijiang and Li Chenggui looked at each other, and immediately began to rush to Meng Xianying with a tacit understanding.

The three of them left the Marquis' Mansion again, got into a luxurious carriage with the characters of Dameng written on it, and then went straight to the Sea Lion Tower.

But the three of Meng Xianying didn't realize that, shortly after they left, three or four figures in the Hou's mansion suddenly jumped up to the roof, leaping away as light as a swallow.

……

Royal study.

"Your Majesty, Dongchang has just discovered Li Chenggui, the second son of Uncle Zhong, and Wu Zijiang, the second son of Marquis of Qingping, in the Baoding Marquis' residence."
