In the main hall of the Summer Palace, Meng Waner was asked a common question by Meng Jiaoyang, and she was kept silent for a long time.
Meng Jiaoyang was not in a hurry, just sitting on the ground and waiting.
After a long time, Meng Wan'er seemed to have finally made up her mind. She raised her head and looked at Meng Jiaoyang and said, "They are just some bastard words. They can only be said in one sentence. Tell my father and I, the Meng family, to return to Lijun!"
Mingyue, who had been standing behind Meng Wan'er and had not said a few words along the way, suddenly said, "Miss Wan'er, my Lord Prefect wants you to say those words to the Lord Yongchang without missing a word. Only in this way can the agreement between you and him be fulfilled."
Meng Jiaoyang didn't say anything, but the slovenly man standing next to him snorted coldly. The momentum around him surged, and he sent Mingyue flying out and hit the heavy door of the hall. Then he slipped down, knelt on one knee, and concentrated. Be on guard, and such movement naturally attracted a group of palace guards and waiters outside the palace to rush in eagerly.
Meng Jiaoyang did not look at Mingyue and the people who rushed in. He just raised his hand and waved. Everyone carefully exited the hall and closed the door again. He looked at Meng Waner who was kneeling in front of him, his eyes There was some pity in his voice, "Let's talk, it's just some words. If we can save Bao'er, what's wrong as a father not to listen to me?"
Meng Waner lowered her lips and shed tears again. She felt that all her tears in her life would be shed today. She looked at Meng Jiaoyang's loving eyes, stretched out her hand to wipe the tears on her face, and said bitterly, "Then Luo Chuan said , he would save the people of Yongchang, but he would not save the Meng family of Yongchang. He said that at the moment in Yongchang, his father had only four options to choose from. One of them was to benefit the city.
Resist the Lijun army, and then use Zhaoshui City to resist Nanyi. If he wins both battles, he will lead his troops to retreat. If one of them loses, all the Meng family and those who resist together will be killed. "
Meng Jiaoyang smiled slightly and said, "Continue."
Meng Waner pursed her lips and continued, "Second, directly abandon Zhaoshui City and gather all the power of the county in Yicheng to resist the Li army. When Zhaoshui City is broken, Nanyi will first go east to plan to capture Shuanglong City in Anyang County. Even if There is nothing we can do to benefit the city if we go north, but we can... gain temporary stability."
Meng Jiaoyang nodded and asked Meng Waner to continue.
Meng Waner was hesitant, and her voice became lower and lower, until finally it was almost inaudible, "Thirdly, he said he could surrender to Nanyi..."
Before Meng Jiaoyang said anything, the slovenly man standing next to him had already opened his eyes and shouted "Ridiculous!"
Meng Jiaoyang slapped her knees and laughed loudly, "Wan'er, please note that this Lijun kid's method of humiliating others is indeed very despicable, hahaha..." He was acting wildly like that. After laughing for a while, he wiped his tears and said with a smile, "What he calls the last option is to let me, the Meng family of Yongchang, surrender him. Let's talk about what he is willing to give."
Meng Waner glanced at Meng Jiaoyang and whispered, "He said that there was another way to Yongchang. When he learned that Heyu City had been lost, he mobilized the entire army and relied on Meng's Nine Hundred Years Accumulate, summon the strongest men from all over the world, and go on a personal expedition with the eunuch, and fight against Nanyi..." Seeing Meng Jiaoyang's face change and her smile disappear, she did not dare to say any more, until the silence returned to the main hall.
, the expression on Meng Jiaoyang's face returned to calm, and then he continued, "He said that in Yongchang now, no matter what my father does, it is wrong, and the ancestors of the Meng family and the descendants of the Meng family will bear the infamy and surrender him. The only one who needs to bear the infamy..."
Meng Waner couldn't continue, but Meng Jiaoyang smiled again, but this time the smile was a little complicated. He filled in the rest of Meng Waner's words, "The only one who needs to bear the infamy is me..."
Meng Wan'er felt heartbroken when she heard her father say these words. She consoled her, "Father, what Luo Chuan said was just to persuade him to surrender. His words are not credible..."
Meng Jiaoyang shook her head and said, "I want to hear, since he wants us to surrender to him, what can he give us?"
Meng Waner looked at Meng Jiaoyang and couldn't understand for a moment, "He said that he could give his father the position of governor of Ganyuan County, and he could take care of each other with Anling General Han Feng, and he could protect the Meng family's children through civil and military promotion. I will serve as an official and look for a good place twenty miles away in Ganyuan to give me the Meng family as a foundation.
, allow me, Meng, to take away part of the money and food accumulated over the past nine hundred years, enough for a noble family, and also allow us to take away a group of good hands to protect ourselves, that's about it. "
Meng Jiaoyang asked, "If I, the Meng family, demoted him to Lijun, what would happen to the powerful families, civil servants and generals, elite soldiers, and powerful Taoist officials inside and outside the Meng family's court?"
Meng Wan'er said, "He said that he wanted his father to be announced to the people, to transfer the orthodoxy to the Luo family, to dismiss civil servants from their posts, to keep the generals unchanged, and to recruit soldiers. He did not say anything clearly about the powerful Taoist officials. He only said that we were not allowed to take away the powerful people from the upper three realms. By,
Seeing the solemn look on Meng Jiaoyang's face, she asked again, "Father, Luo Chuan's move is obviously to shake our resistance, and even make me alienated both inside and outside the Yongchang court. We must not really believe him!"
Meng Jiaoyang did not answer, but put his hands on his knees and thought for a long time, then solemnly said, "Give me the official, give me the land, give me money, give me food, and allow us to take away a group of good people, and also allow me, a descendant of the Meng family, to join the officialdom again." , He neither trapped his father under the eyes of Licheng nor embarrassed the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. He was so generous and accepted the inevitable war with Nanyi. He just wanted me to announce it to the whole county and send the prefect to Will orthodoxy be surrendered to him?"
Meng Waner didn't speak at all this time.
Meng Jiaoyang saw that her expression was different, and comforted herself a bit, but still did not say anything, so she put her hands on the ground and got up with some effort. She put her hands behind her back and looked towards the door of the main hall, still kneeling on one knee in a defensive posture. Mingyue, "What's your name?"
Mingyue's only exposed eyes quickly glanced at Meng Jiaoyang, and then stared at the sloppy man again, "Reply to Mr. Meng, Mingyue."
Meng Jiaoyang ignored Mingyue's address, repeated the name in a low voice, and then asked, "Since your prefect asked you to come back with Wan'er, he also conveyed what your prefect said. Tell me, your family What do you want, Lord Taishou, to offer you such conditions?"
Meng Waner was still kneeling on the ground, but she turned back to look at Mingyue. The pleading in her eyes was unbearable.
But Mingyue showed no pity at all and said, "The prefect said that Lijun's army will arrive at Yicheng in the near future. Lord Meng will personally lead 20,000 Shanshan troops to surrender from the city. At that time, Lord Meng will surrender."
A person must bring three things with him, one is the seal of the prefect, the other is the tiger talisman for commanding the troops, and the third..."
"Stop talking!!" Meng Waner stood up and shouted.
Mingyue glanced sideways at Meng Waner and said coldly, "The third one is Meng Xiaotian's head!!"
Meng Waner was devastated.
Meng Jiaoyang pursed her lips tightly and glared silently.
But the sloppy man punched out, and the majestic power turned into a water-colored magic circle with a radius of more than ten feet but was extremely solid. With a buzzing sound, it went straight towards the bright moon!
Mingyue was already nervous, so when she saw this, she mobilized her whole body's energy and pushed out a wood-green magic circle with a radius of nearly ten feet in front of her. However, as soon as this huge magic circle took shape, it was blocked by the solid and small water-colored magic circle. The magic circle broke through, and the force of the water-colored magic circle remained unabated, directly hitting Mingyue who had hurriedly raised her double daggers to block, knocking her away, and even breaking a huge hole in the heavy door of the main hall.
Mingyue flew out, tens of feet, and turned over as soon as it hit the ground. She was still kneeling on one knee, but the blood under the face towel could not stop pouring out, and a drop fell on the Summer Palace Square. On the slate!
