The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 739 Six People

But, it is only limited to the way back to Lingnan.

From the moment he set foot in Lingnan, he made it clear to Meng Renji that everything in Lingnan from now on would depend on Meng Renji himself.

The most he could do was to make Meng Renji serve under his command and make him a sixth-rank captain, the same military rank as Qicheng Qiguan.

However, even under his command, his people were not completely safe.

To put it bluntly, if Meng Renji wants to ensure his own safety and interests, or even seize an opportunity for promotion, it all depends on Meng Renji himself.

After all, no matter how much he wanted to take care of Meng Renji, he had to be clear about rewards and punishments. This was the iron rule of the military and no one could violate it.

Not even himself.

Although Chang'an said it was possible, Meng Renji also believed it, and Chu Cun believed it even more, but now it was almost noon, so he decided to have a full meal first.

Digest your meal well, and also digest the surprises that come your way.

When Qiao Qiancheng learned from Qi Cheng about Meng Renji's situation after his return, he was no longer in the General Zhennan's Mansion, but was patrolling the army with Qi Guan.

After hesitating for a while, Qiao Qiancheng asked, "You mean, it doesn't look like a failure?"

"Look at their expressions. They seem quite happy." Qi Cheng thought back to the expressions of Meng Renji and the other two that he had seen secretly outside the house. "Especially Chu Cun, that kid. His mouth was grinning so much that it stretched behind his ears!"

As for the second young master Meng, he could see joy between his brows.

As for Miss Chang'an, to be honest, she was still as calm as when he first met her, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or not.

Qi Guan asked doubtfully, "So it was successful?"

Qiao Qiancheng also looked at Qi Cheng.

Qi Cheng scratched the back of his head: "This... I don't know either."

"You've already gone to see it, why don't you ask?" Qi Guan yelled in anger.

Qi Cheng was yelled at and his temper came out: "The general only allowed me to spy secretly, not openly!"

Qi Guan was drooling over Qi Cheng's shout. He wiped his mouth and turned back to complain to Qiao Qiancheng: "General, Qi Cheng is incompetent!"

"Then you go." Qiao Qiancheng said.

"Ah?" Qi Guan was hit dizzy.

Qi Cheng laughed at the side: "The general asked you to go, so you go, what are you talking about?"

"Yes." Qi Guan had no choice but to obey.

Qi Guan left the military camp and returned to the Zhennan General's Mansion. Qiao Qiancheng took Qi Cheng to continue patrolling the military camp.

After lunch, Meng Renji did not wait until the evening to look at it again. He then asked Chu Cun to take out all the information he had found out about the three major families before, and sat in the general's mansion, in the small courtyard allocated to him by Qiao Qiancheng, to look at it again carefully.

Chang'an was sitting next to him and said to Chu Cun, "You can go to Hua Mansion right now. No need to say anything extra. Just say that our second young master wants to know the general situation of the three major families in Lingnan."

"Just a general idea?" Chu Cun was greedy. He wanted his master to know more so that they, the master and servant, could make more corresponding preparations in the future in Lingnan.

After all, Chang'an has to leave eventually. It is impossible for him to stay by the young master's side forever and protect him like him.

"The general situation they confessed is already far greater than the sum of what the government and the public know about them." Although Chang'an did not know as much as her master about large families like Huashashui that were able to dominate a region, she could fully imagine how deep and muddy the water was.

If the Second Young Master can understand the general idea from it, he will benefit greatly. If he knows more, it will probably be a disaster rather than a blessing.

She was not here to bring disaster to the Second Young Master. If she did, and her master knew about it, she would not even be qualified to return to Beijing. She would be ordered by her master to return to Jinling and continue to guard the old house alone.

She didn't want to be alone. She wanted to be with her master, so she couldn't make any mistakes, and she couldn't let the people her master cared about get hurt because of her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Meng Renji deeply again.

Meng Renji noticed it and looked back at Chang'an, thinking that Chang'an wanted him to make the final decision, so he said, "I agree, let's do as Chang'an says."

"Yes." Chu Cun immediately walked out of the courtyard and went to the stable to lead out the horse that was full of grass.

Qi Guan returned to the Zhennan General's Mansion, asked Housekeeper Yin for information, and then went straight to the stables. He happened to meet Chu Cun who was leading a horse out of the side door. He walked up to him casually and asked, "Are you going out to do something for Captain Meng?"

Chu Cun had become quite familiar with Qi Cheng and Qi Guan over these days, and he was no longer as reserved and polite as he was at the beginning when talking to them. When Qi Guan asked, he just answered casually, "Yes."

"where to?"

"Hua Mansion."

Qi Guan's eyes lit up: "Didn't you go there this morning?"

Chu Cun nodded: "Yes, I have to go again."

"Was I turned away last morning?" Qi Guanxin thought. If I was turned away in the morning, I would definitely be turned away again if I went again in the afternoon. What's the point of going again?

Chu Cun grinned and said cheerfully, "No, it was Grandpa Hua who personally entertained my young master this morning. Grandpa Hua also invited Grandpa Sha and Grandpa Shui to the Hua Mansion. The three old masters surrounded the young master and Chang'an and talked a lot."

It was not until Chu Cun rode away from the Zhennan General's Mansion for a while that Qi Guanfang realized that he had to report to Qiao Qiancheng quickly, and then he rode straight to the military camp.

Butler Yin stood in the courtyard of the front yard, looking at the sky, the ground, the flowers, plants and trees in the yard, then glanced in the direction of the side yard of the front yard, raised his eyebrows, turned around, put his hands behind his back, and walked back to his room step by step.

He had to do some calculations. From tomorrow on, all the items sent to the side courtyard, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, would have to be of higher standards.

He heard the conversation between Qi Guan and Chu Cun.

It wasn't that he wanted to eavesdrop, it was just a coincidence.

At dusk that day, after dinner, Meng Renji was still wondering why Chu Cun had not returned after so long at Hua Mansion. When he was about to ask Chang'an for the reason, Chu Cun came back happily.

He also brought back six people.

The flower steward of the Hua Mansion, the sand steward of the Sha Mansion, and the water steward of the Shui Mansion.

Behind the three butlers, there was a servant from each mansion. They each held a black wooden box in their hands. Judging from the color, the material was somewhat similar to that of the Thirteen Tokens, but it was definitely different.

Meng Renji was stunned: "This is..."

"Little Hua San..."

"Little Shawu..."

"Little Shui Liu..."

"Meet Mr. Meng II!"

The six people saluted Meng Renji together.

Qiao Qiancheng, who had just returned from the military camp, walked to the corridor outside the house. When he heard the whole row of people saluting in unison, he couldn't help but gasp.

...It seems that what Qi Guan heard was true.
