The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 740: The Car is Surrounded

The leaders of the three major families in Lingnan really treat Meng Renji differently!
Qicheng and Qiguan were following behind Qiao Qiancheng, and their eyes widened like copper bells, filled with extreme shock.

After everyone had settled in, the three stewards of the three major families brought their respective servants out of the Zhennan General's Mansion and returned to their respective masters to report. At that time, Meng Renji had already fully understood the large and small industries of the three major families in Lingnan, as well as the intricate network of relationships behind the industries.

There were too many things, too many fragments, and too complicated. Even if there were some parts that he couldn't remember clearly, Chu was there to help him remember them.

Chu Cunben is a very versatile person, and remembering these things is definitely his strong point.

With him around, Meng Renji doesn't have to worry about forgetting or missing anything.

Chang'an was very relieved about this, so she told Meng Renji her plan to return to the capital early the next morning.

In other words, she only has until tomorrow to stay in Lingnan.

Meng Renji had no objection to this, mainly because it was useless for him to have an objection. Chang'an was Meng Shisan's man, and he had no say in the matter.

Chu Cun Ze wanted Chang'an to teach him some self-defense methods, which made Chang'an feel very embarrassed.

It’s not that Chang’an feels embarrassed because she doesn’t want to teach. The main reason is that she is a demon, and a nine-hundred-year-old locust demon. She knows demon magic, while Chu Cun is a human, and an ordinary person. She can’t teach even if she wants to.

But Chu Cun wanted to learn some more skills in order to better protect Meng Renji, so Chang'an thought again and again and took out a sword manual that had been covered in dust for who knows how many years: "I heard that you are quite skilled, relying on your fists, and now you have joined the army with the second son and also wear a sword. Since you wear a sword, you must have a set of sword techniques. This "Sword Manual" is given to you. How much you can learn depends on yourself."

Chu Cun happily took the sword manual with both hands: "Thank you, Miss Chang'an!"

There was no need for the three stewards to describe in detail all the industries of the three major families, as Qiao Qiancheng had already checked them out by himself. The most important thing was the network of relationships hidden under each industry. He had been in Lingnan for so many years, but he had only touched some corners and had not made any progress so far.

Unfortunately, Meng Renji had already been warned by the three stewards that the network of relationships among the three major families was a secret that could not be disclosed to outsiders. So no matter how Qiao Qiancheng tried to probe indirectly the next day, he was unable to get any information out.

Qicheng Qiguan was not idle either, and they also attacked Chu Cun, but they also returned empty-handed in the end. Chu Cun's mouth, like Meng Renji's, was made of steel. He seemed to be smiling and easy to talk to, but in fact he was very tight-lipped.

After returning to the military camp, Qiao Qiancheng and his two servants checked the accounts and fell silent at the same time.

After a while, Qiao Qiancheng smiled and said, "That's good. At least when they really have the chance to go to the battlefield, both the master and the servant will be strong men!"

Qicheng and Qiguan looked at each other: This is the only way.

On the day Chang'an set out for Beijing, Qi Cheng was shy and his eyes were red. Qi Guan watched from the side with admiration. Chu Cun, because of the sword manual, chased Chang'an and called him master regardless of whether Chang'an agreed or not.

Meng Renji and Qiao Qiancheng stood a few steps away, watching the three of them chattering around Chang'an, while Chang'an frowned and looked impatient, and tried to keep a straight face.

When Meng Shisan received the second message from Chang'an, she learned that Chang'an was also going to return to Beijing. She no longer let the locust bird fly back to Lingnan with the reply, but kept the locust bird on the apricot tree outside Mingxiao Hall, waiting for Chang'an to come back before making any plans.

Li Zhaoqin invited Meng Shisan to Prince Jing's Mansion to taste the new dishes made by the mansion's chef. When it was dusk, Meng Shisan slowly returned to the mansion.

The Meng Mansion carriage drove slowly on the moonlit street. The moonlight shone on the fluttering curtains of the car windows, creating a flickering illusion that made people feel even more sleepy. Baozhu yawned unconsciously.

Meng Shisan looked at him and said, "You can take a nap. I'll call you when we get there."

"No need, Miss, I'm not sleepy." Baozhu ate too much at Prince Jing's Mansion. People would feel sleepy after eating and drinking enough. But she could still hold on. When she returned to the mansion, she would let Jinyin serve the Miss, and then she would go back to her own room for a good sleep.

Meng Shisan smiled and said nothing more. Baozhu knew whether she was sleepy or not, and it was up to her to decide whether to sleep or not, so she just made the suggestion.

"Whoa!" The coachman suddenly reined in his horse and stopped abruptly, jolting the defenseless master and servant in the carriage so hard that they almost bumped into the two closed doors.

"Miss, are you okay?" Baozhu held the car door with one hand and grabbed Meng Shisan with the other hand in time.

Meng Shisan's body was weak and could not stand such torture several times. She went out and asked the driver, "What's going on?"

The driver's trembling voice blew into the carriage with the wind: "Miss, we are surrounded!"

While the driver was talking, Baozhu opened the door and saw three masked men in black standing in front of the carriage. She was so scared that her voice trembled: "Miss..."

After Meng Shisan sat firmly, he asked while looking out of the windows on both sides. Through the gaps in the curtains that were constantly flying up, he could see men in black surrounding both sides of the car.

It is not difficult to imagine that the front and left sides of the cart were surrounded, and the retreat route must have been blocked by the men in black at the back.

She stopped Baozhu from panicking, stood up and was about to go out.

Baozhu stopped her and said, "Miss, don't go out!"

"If you go out, you still have room to maneuver. If you don't go out, you'll be like a trapped beast." After Meng Shisan finished speaking, she pushed away Baozhu's arm that was blocking her, opened the car door, and jumped out of the car.

The driver was frightened by Meng Shisan's action at first, but then he reacted quickly, and jumped off the carriage, rolling and crawling, and stood in front of Meng Shisan. His arms were trembling uncontrollably, but his voice suddenly rose, and he shouted: "Don't be afraid, Miss! I swear to protect you until my death!"

The leading black-clad man sneered, "Don't think I can't tell why you're shouting so loudly. Unfortunately, the streets here have already been cleared by us. Even if you shout your throats out, you won't be able to call out anyone."

The driver's plan was exposed, and his middle-aged face turned red, and now gradually turned pale, and even his outstretched arms looked so weak.

Baozhu was the last to jump off the cart, but she also protected Meng Shisan behind her like the driver. She whispered to Meng Shisan, "Miss, if you get a chance later, just run away, and don't worry about me."

The driver was no longer able to speak, but his ears were still open. When he heard Baozhu say this, he nodded hurriedly.

The two men's words and deeds of being so loyal to their master caused the black-clad men who had surrounded the three men to sneer and look at them as if they were three corpses.

Meng Shisan lowered his eyes slightly, and his eyes suddenly became fierce.

The man in black and others were unaware of the changes in Meng Shisan's aura, and still treated the three men as prey that were doomed to die.
