Chapter 266 Chaos is coming, chaos is coming

After receiving Du Yilin's order, the personal guard retreated. Du Yilin turned back to the table full of memorials and sat down, and the smile on his face disappeared. Dou Haowei stood behind him and waited quietly until the door reopened and a young scholar came in.

The young man is dusty, and Du Yilin can see that he is trying to suppress the joy in his heart and try to make the expression on his face look anxious. Du Yilin knew why he was happy, but at this time he wanted to know why he was pretending to be anxious.

"Meng Zhuangqing, why did you return to the imperial city without my will?"

Meng Zhuangqing, who was sent to Wuming County Yaqingmo Pavilion as an accountant, naturally became the new shopkeeper of Yaqingmo Pavilion after Leng Xuanrong and the others fled. But Meng Zhuangqing was not happy about this at all. He rewritten a copy of the letter left by Leng Xuanrong at that time, which stated that there was a private army hidden in Fengquanling. At the end of the letter, he wrote his desire to return to the imperial city to serve Du Yilin in the most sincere sentence. However, contrary to expectations, Meng Zhuangqing received a reply that he would continue to stay in Wuming County. Du Yilin wrote a letter and told Meng Zhuangqing that he was a responsible and trustworthy person.

This trustworthy man was extremely painful when he saw the letter, and he could only stay in the Raven Green Ink Pavilion. However, after a long time, Meng Zhuangqing finally waited for an excellent opportunity for him to return to the imperial city.

Meng Zhuangqing knelt down, knocked three times to Du Yilin, then raised his body and said in a smoothest voice as much as possible, "I really dare not let others convey the news about this matter. In the future, I have to ask the prince to order to return to the imperial city without authorization and ask the prince to be punished."

Du Yilin looked at him coldly, suddenly stood up, walked to Meng Zhuangqing, stretched out a hand, and helped him up kneeling on the ground.

"Zhuang Qing, thank you for letting you stay alone in Wuming County for so long." Du Yilin's voice was as cold as his eyes, but the words fell into Meng Zhuangqing's ears, which suddenly made him burst into tears. He frowned to hold back the tears that almost gushed out and whispered, "Meng Zhuangqing, a scholar, can't throw his head and blood for the prince to kill the enemy, but he is also willing to smash his bones for the prince!"

Du Yilin patted him on the shoulder, paused for a moment, and then asked, "What happened to Wuming County?"

Meng Zhuangqing took a deep breath and recovered from the incomparable emotion. He raised his eyes and looked at Dou Haowei, not knowing whether this should be said in front of him.

Du Yilin turned around and walked back to the back of the table and wink at Dou Haowei.

Dou Haowei bowed and saluted, stepped back a few steps, and then returned and walked into the room inside.

There are only Du Yilin and Meng Zhuangqing left in this room. Meng Zhuangqing seems to have some energy. He hesitated and finally took a step forward and said respectfully to Du Yilin, "The prince must have known that He Lijing's daughter died suddenly in the prime minister's mansion. The news spread back to Wuming County. The county magistrate He Lijing was heartbroken and sent 500 iron horses out of the city in white robes to meet her daughter's coffin. When I came back, He Ruiping's coffin was still on the way, but He Lijing had begun to mobilize soldiers and horses under the whole Wuming County. After knowing this, I immediately sent a spy to inquire about the news and get reliable information. He Lijing has sent a message to several other county magistrates, and he, together with the fief kings, passed on the book with flying pigeons.

Du Yilin also frowned when he heard the words. Under the rule of the nine counties, there were four feudal lands left two generations ago. Among them, Wuming County is the closest to the imperial city and guarded Fengquanling, which spread thousands of miles. If Wuming County sent troops to defend the key roads of those soldiers, even if there are reinforcements from other counties and fiefs, they may not be able to break through this natural siege and save the imperial city. It is also because of this that An Longyi risked his eldest son to make friends with the He family.

The reason why Du Yilin dared to confront He Lijing when he was in Yan County was because of the help of the Kirin camp, a 100,000 army at the top of the Kirin camp, and the other reason was that He Lijing had some scruples at that time. He had to worry about going to the court, the emperor and An Longyi. But what about now?

I'm afraid what Mr. Wu said is absolutely right. This game of life and death chess is getting more and more mysterious.

Thinking of this, Du Yilin turned his head and looked at Meng Zhuangqing again and asked, "What's the result of He Lijing's mobilization of soldiers and horses?"

Meng Zhuangqing seemed to feel the dangerous atmosphere emanating from Du Yilin, and he was more careful when he spoke. He calmed down and replied, "According to the detective's report, except for the patrol camp and Luqi camp, which He Lijing originally controlled, all the military camps stationed in Wuming County received the assembly order, and within a few days, Wu Ming The news of the death of several military commanders and county magistrates..."

He Lijing has been desperate.

Du Yilin can imagine the anger in He Lijing's heart and the grief of losing his beloved daughter. However, these are not enough for him to make such a big move as now. Presumably the extremely cunning He Lijing felt the great danger and did it. If he becomes a family-in-law with the An family, then no matter how the An family is disturbed in the future, he can keep himself safe. But now that such a thing has happened, it is impossible for him to use other means to trust An Longyi. Even if he slaps He Ruiping's coffin board and screams a few times, no one in the world will believe that he doesn't hate his family.

He Ruiping's death in An's home inexplicable suddenly made He Lijing become a lonely grass in the wind. The only thing he can do now is to hold all the power of Wuming County in his hands and wait for the battle of trapped beasts.

Du Yilin lowered his head, patted the table hard, and whispered, "The chaos is coming... The chaos is coming..."

Meng Zhuangqing frowned, took another step forward, and said eagerly, "Your Majesty, the chaos is coming. Please allow Zhuang Qing to stay with the prince to solve his problems!"

Du Yilin's thoughts were interrupted by Meng Zhuangqing. He looked up at Meng Zhuangqing, nodded slightly and said, "You stay. Wuming County is no longer a place for a powerless person like you to stay.

Du Yilin's words made Meng Zhuangqing almost cry happily. He hurriedly knelt to the ground and gave Du Yilin three times.

But at this time, Du Yilin said coldly, "You can leave your post without my order. If you become my military officer, you can't keep your head."

Meng Zhuangqing was shocked when he heard the words, but Du Yilin immediately said, "I have always been loyal to you, and the only thing you are useful to me is that head, and I will let you keep it and continue to work for me." Du Yilin paused and continued, "I originally planned to let you make contributions in Wuming County, and then come back to your official position, but now that you have made a mistake, the official position cannot be given to you for the time being. Meng Zhuangqing, you will follow Leng Xuanrong to her house early tomorrow morning and fix everything according to her requirements.

Meng Zhuangqing's heart was full of up and down, but as soon as he heard the name "Leng Xuanrong", an unspeakable boredom surged into his heart. When he was in Wuming County, he heard that Leng Xuanrong came to the imperial city with Mr. Wu of the Imperial Palace. He didn't expect that he had finally come back and had to work behind her.

Du Yilin saw Meng Zhuangqing's reluctance at a glance. He raised his hand and patted the table and said angrily, "Don't you want to?"

Meng Zhuangqing suddenly came to his senses and remembered that he had returned to the prince to do business. The nerves completely relaxed in the Raven Green Ink Pavilion would really kill him. Meng Zhuangqing hurriedly kowtowed and answered, "Zhuang Qing dare not!"

Du Yilin snorted, "Go down!"

Meng Zhuangqing knelt up and hurried out.

As soon as he left, Dou Haowei, who had been hiding in it, came out. He found that Du Yilin was really angry and felt a little surprised, so he asked, "Your Majesty, why do you hate this Meng Zhuangqing so much?" In fact, Dou Haowei wanted to ask why Du Yilin hated him so much, but still wanted to keep him by his side. There are so many literati in the world, and not only Meng Zhuangqing lacks him. Any student in the imperial palace is more knowledgeable than him.

Du Yilin waved his hand helplessly and changed the topic, "He Lijing is really in a hurry."

Dou Haowei nodded and said, "The letters have been sent to the nine counties, and I don't know what he thought."

"Yes." Du Yilin got up and pulled Dou Haowei's sleeve and said in a low voice, "I want to know what he wrote in his letters to the four counties."

Dou Haowei frowned and narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Your Majesty, when did you start to like to tell lies?"

Du Yilin lowered his head and sighed softly and whispered, "I want to know what those old guys think..."

Dou Haowei nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and patted Du Yilin on the shoulder. After saying anything, he walked out leisurely.

When Meng Zhuangqing appeared in front of Leng Xuanrong, Leng Xuanrong was also shocked. After coming to the imperial city, things came one after another, and she forgot this person.

"Meng, have you just come from Wuming County?" Leng Xuanrong asked.

Meng Zhuangqing secretly said a few words in his heart that he had never said, and then frowned and replied, "I just returned to the imperial city from Wuming County yesterday. Then he immediately received an order from the prince to take someone to follow the cold girl to repair the noble house.

Leng Xuanrong didn't expect that this matter would eventually be taken over by Du Yilin, which made her feel much better.

Although Leng Xuanrong and Meng Zhuangqing are not close, they are familiar with each other after all. They took the craftsmen to the old house of Lengfu and soon began the repair work. Meng Zhuangqing looked inside and outside and secretly marveled. Although he knew that Leng Xuanrong used to be the daughter of the official family, before that, in Meng Zhuangqing's eyes, she was still just a little lucky wild girl. But now that I see the cold house, the real feeling of "Miss Qianjin" seems to come suddenly.

Leng Xuanrong said her request, and the craftsmen immediately started to do it. At this time, someone came in and found Leng Xuanrong and reported, "Miss Leng, please meet someone outside the door."
