Chapter 111: The Eve of the Entry to Beijing

"What did you say?" Meng Yan said in surprise, "Uncle Emperor asked Meng Hu to enter Beijing today?"

Shi Miyuan nodded with a serious expression and said in a deep voice: "That's true."

Meng Yan said again: "Why don't Meng Hu go to Beijing?"

"If Meng Hu does not obey the order, he will be killed on the spot!"

Shi Miyuan's eyes immediately showed a cold murderous intent, and he said sternly, "If the Western Legion dares to take the opportunity to cause trouble, the Guards and the Northwest Legion will be annihilated on the spot."

Meng Yan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Where is your faith?"

Shi Miyuan hurriedly handed a thin bamboo tube to Meng Yan.

Meng Yan took it and saw that the fire lacquer was intact. He couldn't help but change his face slightly. He asked suspiciously: "Mr. Miyuan, this fire lacquer is still intact. How did you know the content of the letter?"

Shi Miyuan said: "In the second secret letter to Bei Zhi, the prince gave a detailed explanation."

"Is that?" Meng Yan frowned and pondered, "What does the emperor mean? Why did you call Meng Hu into Beijing? If it was to attack Meng Hu, why did you do this for one more move? You can still easily defeat him in Xiling! If it was not to deal with Meng Hu, then why was he summoned him into Beijing?"

Shi Miyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I can't guess this humble position."

Meng Yan thought for a while and had no idea at all, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Which is the emperor singing?"

Shi Miyuan suddenly said, "No matter which one the prince sang, this matter is very beneficial to Your Highness."

Meng Yan frowned and said, "The benefits? The forced donation incident is gone, and the reconstruction of the Western Legion cannot be intervened. I can't see what other benefits can it have?"

Shi Miyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that since the prince had an affair with Zhao Qinghan, he had become a different person, and his IQ had dropped sharply. Shi Miyuan thought so, but he didn't dare to show it on his face and said, "When Meng Hu went to Luojing, he would be separated from Miss Qinghan. Wouldn't this be very beneficial to Your Highness?"

Meng Yan suddenly realized, thinking that this was indeed an opportunity.

Shi Miyuan said: "If your highness has no other orders, then he will go to deliver a letter."

"Go."

Meng Yan waved his hand and said happily, "Don't forget to tell Meng Hu, let him leave early tomorrow morning and not be delayed for a moment."

Governor's Office.

Meng Hu and the four Zhan Ying agreed to return to the Governor's Mansion as the specific candidates of the Western Legion or above, it was already midnight. He and Zhao Qinghan were taking a bath in the bath in the back garden. Since the last time they entered the bath, Meng Hu has become the de facto son-in-law of the Governor's Mansion, and have been living in the Governor's Mansion without any scruples these days.

There is square bluestone at the north corner of the bathtub, and the hot water just overflows the stone platform.

Two blushing maids stood by the bathhouse. Looking at the position where they were standing, you could see the outline of their lamb’s back. Under the tall hair is a slender jade neck, then a white and white back as white as mutton fat, and below is a small waist that is not enough to hold. Below the waistline is a sharply enlarged hip curve.

Zhao Qinghan supported Meng Hu's chest with her left hand, and gently brushed the scabbed scar on Meng Hu's chest with a slender finger, and asked tenderly: "Does it still hurt?"

Meng Hu curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "What's this injury?"

Seeing this scar, Zhao Qinghan remembered the fierce battle when Meng Hu talked to her last time when she broke through. Inexplicable pity appeared in her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "Hu, promise me that I will not take risks like that in the future, okay?"

Meng Hu reached out and patted Zhao Qinghan's beautiful buttocks with great elasticity, and chuckled, "Don't worry, I haven't made your belly bigger yet, so how could it be so easy to die?"

"Hate."

Zhao Qinghan couldn't help rolling her eyes, and leaned down her beautiful buttocks. When she was about to pinch the tender flesh on Meng Hu's thighs and vent her anger, her confidant maid Lian'er suddenly entered the bathhouse and said in a sweet voice: "Miss, son-in-law, Mr. Shi Miyuan, the confidant aide of His Highness Qin, is going to see her son-in-law, and she is waiting in the front hall."

"Shi Miyuan?" Meng Hu said in surprise, "What are he doing so late?"

Lian'er replied in a sweet voice: "I said that there was an urgent letter from the imperial capital to hand it over to my son-in-law, but the specific maid didn't dare to ask."

"Letter from the imperial capital? Give me?" Meng Hu suddenly felt trembling when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

"No matter what happens, let's go and have a look first." After Zhao Qinghan said that, she struggled to climb down from Meng Hu, then turned around and ordered the two maids, "Ling'er, Long'er, take your son-in-law's bathrobe."

Front hall of the Governor's Office.

Shi Miyuan had already left, and Meng Hu did not rush to disassemble and read the secret letter, but sent someone to invite Qi Diaozi over and then carefully studied the secret letter with Zhao Qinghan and the other two.

Qi Diaozi looked at the bamboo tube with the clothes letter for a long time and said with great certainty: "The fire paint is complete and I have never done any tricks."

Meng Hu nodded and said, "Then let's tear it down."

Upon hearing this, Qi Diaozi picked up the prepared dagger from the table, carefully picked up the hot paint sealed by the bamboo tube, and took out the letter rolled into a tube from it. Meng Hu took the letter and gently spread it on the table. There was only one sentence on it: Imperial order Meng Hu, the Western Legion, to enter Beijing today!

The signature is Mengke, the King of Yan, and the bright red King of Yan seal is also stamped.

Meng Hu's brows frowned in an instant, and ordered him to enter Beijing today? The King of Yan wanted to summon himself to Beijing?

Qi Diaozi came up and smelled the scent of the letter paper, touched the texture of the letter paper, and said with certainty: "It is indeed a Tiansilk cotton paper specially used by the royal family, absolutely right."

Zhao Qinghan also came over to look at the seal signed by the letter, and then said with some concern: "The seal of King Yan looks real, but I am still worried. What if this is the trap set by Meng Yan and Shi Miyuan?"

Meng Hu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This secret letter should be from King Yan, it has nothing to do with Meng Yan."

Qi Diaozi nodded slightly when he heard this and said, "I also think so. Meng Yan and Shi Miyuan really want to design a fight against the general. There is no need to use the name of the King of Yan, because it is easy to give people a handle. If the matter is exposed, the Grand Highness and the Third Highness will definitely make a fuss about this matter, so Meng Yan will be very passive."

Zhao Qinghan frowned and said, "But for no reason, why did the King of Yan summon Hu Zi to Beijing?"

Qi Diaozi's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but look back at Meng Hu. Meng Hu also turned to look at him. The two of them were instantly connected in the air. The two were stunned at the same time, and then they burst into laughter tacitly. Zhao Qinghan was confused by the two of them. She couldn't help but step forward and pinch Meng Hu, and said coquettishly: "Hey, why are you laughing at?"

Meng Hu grinned and said to Qi Diaozi: "Old Qi, you should tell Qinghan."

Qi Diaozi nodded and said, "The matter is already obvious. There are also guards in Xiling City and there are King Yan's eyes. Although the King of Yan is thousands of miles away, he knows the whole story of the Xiling Battle and the Battle of Daughter River that happened not long ago. If the humble official is not wrong, it must be the general's performance in these two wars that attracted the attention of the King of Yan. Therefore, he wants to summon the general to the capital, to test the general's loyalty, and to compete with the general in person."

Zhao Qinghan frowned and asked, "Test the loyalty of Hu Zi? Did the King of Yan hear any slander?"

Qi Diaozi shook his head and said, "The King of Yan could not hear any slander, nor would he easily believe slander. The reason why he tempted the general was only for the sake of royal interests, because the general's performance in the defense of Xiling and the Occupy Central of the Daughter River was too amazing and outstanding, and it was enough to change the fate of the empire and threaten the safety of the royal family. If he changed his position as the King of Yan, he would also make this decision."

A hint of worry suddenly appeared in Zhao Qinghan's eyes.

Although Meng Hu has never said it clearly when we were together these two days, Zhao Qinghan already knew his ambition. She knew that this man's ambition was not just to be the commander of the Western Legion. His ambition was to rule the entire world. So if he entered Beijing by the imperial edict this time, wouldn't he betray himself?

Thinking of this, Zhao Qinghan immediately grabbed Meng Hu's hands nervously and said anxiously: "Hu, you can't go to Beijing."

Meng Hu smiled faintly, but just patted Zhao Qinghan's little hand gently, without saying a word.

Qi Diaozi on the side said, "If the general does not obey the order, he will be killed immediately. Of course, Meng Yan and the Guards may not be able to do anything to the general, but in this way, the general will completely tear the face with the court, and the best result will be to occupy Qingniu Tun and become the king of the mountain."

"Go up the mountain." Zhao Qinghan said anxiously, "It's better than going to Beijing to fall into the trap."

Meng Hu then smiled and said, "Qinghan, things are not as bad as you think. If King Yan really wants to kill me, I won't let me go to Beijing. Isn't this an unnecessary move? Lao Qi said just now that the reason he summoned me to Beijing was just to test my loyalty to the empire. I just need to show my loyalty to the empire properly. I will never have any worries about my life when I go to the empire."

Qi Diaozi nodded and said, "I also think that the general should enter Beijing. After all, it is not yet time to break up with the imperial court."
