The atmosphere in the summer palace hall suddenly became solemn.
Countless palace guards poured out from around the hall, surrounding the bright moon that fell on the ground.
After all, the palace guards were elite. They only gathered around the shrinking process, and they had already formed a military formation. The momentum was rising into the sky. The few strands of invisible sword intent hidden in the military formation gave a strong man like Mingyue a ray of light on his back. a feeling of.
Mingyue glanced at the Summer Palace guards who had gathered around but made no move, then raised her head to look at the main hall not far away. She did not see Meng Jiaoyang or Meng Waner in the damaged position because the sloppy man had already left. When he came out, he stood a foot in front of the breach, with his arms folded across his chest, looking down at the place without any expression.
At this time, in the main hall of the Summer Palace, Meng Jiaoyang silently stretched out his hands to hold Meng Wan'er's shoulders, and sent her to sit on the only chair in the center of the hall, and then without saying a word, just here Walking around in the empty hall.
One step, two steps, three steps...walk from one side to the other, then turn around and walk back, once, twice, three times, as if you need to repeatedly measure the width of the hall with your steps in order to make it absolutely Average accuracy.
Meng Waner sat blankly on the chair with an expressionless face, watching Meng Jiaoyang pace, her mind going blank.
Finally, Meng Jiaoyang stopped in front of Meng Waner, turned his back to her and sighed softly. In an instant, Meng Waner couldn't help but trembled, "Father...Father...No way. ..."
The moment the words came out of his mouth, tears burst out of his eyes.
Meng Jiaoyang put her hands in her sleeves and placed them on her chest, as if
Unable to resist the cold air of late autumn coming in from outside the main hall, "Then are you going to surrender to Nanyi for your father? Or are you going to die with all the Meng family's children just for the sake of one breath?"
Meng Wan'er looked sad, lowered her head and said nothing. After a long while, she said with a ferocious expression, "That thief Luo Chuan is clearly acting like a villain. First he used Bao'er to coerce me, and asked Lijun Qingqi to send me back to Yicheng in an upright manner, in order to create a wedge. Meng's relationship with the Yongchang Temple, and later he used destructive words to confuse his father. Once his father listened to his evil words and acted like that, he would destroy his reputation, and people's hearts would be separated overnight, and he would no longer be a divorced person. The county army is hindering us! Father, we must not fall into his poisonous scheme!"
Meng Jiaoyang remained silent. After a moment, she sighed again without saying anything.
"Father!" Meng Waner stood up and said hurriedly, "Now that I have completed my agreement with him, I have told my father all those words. If he is a gentleman and can keep his promise, he will send Bao'er back as promised. You can consider other things. It doesn't matter what he did, if he was simply a villain who didn't keep his word, if his father followed his wishes and did that...do that..." She could never say that. The words, "Don't you fall into his trap?! Then I, Meng, will become the laughing stock of the world!!"
Meng Jiaoyang smiled softly and said calmly, "Now Yongchang, what do you think you can do as a father to prevent Meng from becoming the laughing stock of the world?"
Meng Waner paused for a moment, then said, "Then let's fight to the death with Lijun and Nanyi!" She knelt down directly and said in a deep voice, "My daughter is willing to guard the northwest wall for her father! Even if she dies in the battle in the end,
No regrets! "
Meng Jiaoyang always turned her back to Meng Waner, and did not help her this time. Instead, she said, "My father died in the battle, your brother died in the battle, and even you and all the Meng family's children died in the battle. The Meng family died in the battle." The inheritance of nine hundred years has been cut off from my father. Even if a distant branch of the Meng family wants to revive, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. Wan'er, everything in this can really be solved because of the death of people like you and me. Have you washed yourself thoroughly?"
He shook his head slowly but firmly, asking and answering, "No, Yongchang is powerless now. No matter what, his father is destined to be a subjugated governor. He will be laughed at by the world, bear infamy for thousands of years, and can't escape." , there is no way to escape, but you are saying that Yongchang County’s step-by-step transformation from its original prosperity to the land it is now is just the fault of my father?!!”
"He!" Meng Jiaoyang's voice sank, and the words seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of her throat, "He was stubborn and insisted on his own way. In just six months, he lost three warehouses, causing our Yongchang County to lose half of our country! Then he started a war in a hurry. , returned in defeat,
This makes me, Yongchang, demoralized and severely weakened! Moreover, he is arrogant and arrogant, puts great emphasis on counselors, and delegates power indiscriminately, so that aristocratic families form cliques and self-respect, and scholars bring trouble to the government! The one who really digs the grave for my nine hundred years of Yongchang legacy is not my father, it is him! ! ! "
"Why doesn't he have to bear any guilt and infamy?!" Meng Jiaoyang turned around and waved his sleeves, making a hunting sound in the air. His face was distorted and he was extremely angry, "Just because they forced me to go up. The throne of the subjugated governor and all the sins belong to me, Meng Jiaoyang?! Everything
I, Meng Jiaoyang, should bear all the infamy? ! Why? ! ! "
Meng Jiaoyang panted violently, which frightened Meng Waner so much that she dared not speak out.
Meng Jiaoyang calmed down his breathing, laughed like crazy again, then fell back as if dizzy, sat down on the ground, and knocked off the hat that bound his hair, leaving only strands His messy hair was swaying in the air, but he didn't care at all, "That Lijun prefect, Luochuan, is so young, so young! He knows people very well, he knows people very well! Hahaha!"
He put his hands on the ground, raised his head, stared at the ceiling of the hall, and whispered in a hoarse voice without any waves, "Wan'er, being a father is not a person who dares not take responsibility. On the contrary, he From the first day I sat in that position as a father, my father had already shouldered the fate of the Yongchang Meng family. For this reason, I thought about it day and night, exhausted my energy, and could only sleep for two or three hours every day. I was careful and planned, and it was not easy to solve each crisis, but... God is still not on my side after all..."
"Nanyi is coming," he sighed deeply, "If you don't come sooner, you won't come later, right now, right now..."
"I tried my best for my father," Meng Jiaoyang stretched out a hand and covered her eyes. "I tried my best for my father. The last thing my father could do for me, Meng, was to bear the infamy alone. They said I was brave. No matter how cowardly I am, whether I am mediocre and incompetent, whether I am a slave to the subjugation of my country, or even a dog from Lijun, I will follow them. As long as the inheritance of my Meng family will not be cut off, who knows that my descendants of the Meng family will not give birth to someone like Luochuan.
The person? ! "
"As for what he wants..." Meng Jiaoyang said, "Give it all to him!"
Meng Waner raised her head, then lowered her head again.
Meng Jiaoyang smiled "hehehe", as if he was crazy, "As a father, he was not chosen as his preferred successor, and the defeat of Yongchang should have been the result of his responsibility. It's so good. , so good..."
Meng Waner bit her lower lip until it bled, and murmured, "Father, isn't he afraid that Luo Chuan... will lie to you?!"
Meng Jiaoyang smiled bitterly, her voice dry and hoarse, "If he didn't want your grandfather's head, I would probably think he was lying to me, but he just wanted it. Today's Meng family, your grandfather and I are destined to be together." Only one person can live. If I live, he must die, if he lives, I must die. My father has always been indecisive, but now...he made this decision for me... ..."
He turned to look south with complicated eyes, "Tomorrow, I will ask your brother to come back."
Meng Waner hesitated to speak.
Meng Jiaoyang seemed to have put down a heavy burden, and her towering shoulders relaxed a little, "That's it, that's it."
