Prime Minister take care

Chapter 191 Evergreen pines and cypresses
Changfu.

The seats in the other courtyard are often accompanied by pines and cypresses.

Footsteps sounded on the walkway outside the courtyard.Chang Yu, who was sitting in meditation, opened his eyes. The door was opened, revealing the gurgling stream and green trees in the courtyard. A handsome young man in white walked in from the side.

"Zong Shi, you're here!"

Meng Qing walked up to Chang Yu, bowed slightly and said something.

"uncle!"

Chang Yu nodded and motioned for him to sit aside.There was silence in the room, and Meng Qing remained silent. He didn't know why Chang Yu called him here.

"Zong Shi, have you ever complained about your uncle adopting you to the Meng family?"

After a long time, Chang Yu opened his mouth, but what he talked about was a long time ago.Meng Qing's father was Chang Yu's younger brother, who died young.As the head of the clan, Chang Yu adopted him to the Meng clan, which had few males, to inherit the incense.

"Don't dare!"

Chang Yu smiled and said: "The Meng family and I, the Chang family, are both wealthy families. They served as officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty and were prominent in the family. However, over the years, the Meng family has long declined, but my Chang family has continued to inherit the family. I will pass you on. , I really feel a little wronged to you."

Meng Qing felt a chill in his heart, he indeed had resentment in his heart.As Chang Yu said, although both the Meng family and the Chang family were once prominent officials, after these 30 years of troubled times, the Meng family has already declined. The only ancestral property is an old house, and the number of heirs is so small that no one can even find someone to inherit the family head. position.

But the Chang family was different. His disciples and former officials were all over the court.Even Liang Hou Huanwu, although he was afraid internally, he still showed honor and favor externally.

Meng Qing's father and Chang Yu are both direct descendants.Meng Qing thought to himself that with his intelligence, if he wanted to compete for the position of the head of the family, he might not be able to succeed.

However, Chang Yu adopted him into the Meng family one step ahead, thus ending his hope of succeeding as the head of the Chang family.Meng Qing had always thought that Chang Yu was worried that he would threaten the status of his heirs.

This was a thorn in Meng Qing's heart, but now Chang Yu took the initiative to pull it away.

"Zong Shi, you once boasted that there are heroes in the world, but there are only five fingers that can catch your eye. But the world is so big, how many heroes are there? There are many elites among all countries. There are always heroes among foreign races. Don't mention them from far away. Is that Yang Xian of Shu, does Zong Shi think he can reach it?"

"It can't be cleared up!"

When Meng Qing said these words, there was no fluctuation in his heart, and there was no trace of the arrogance and arrogance of his youth.

Chang Yu nodded with satisfaction and said: "It seems that Zong Shi has grown a lot over the years in Lianghou Mansion and under Huan Wu. Do you know that your brothers are not as good as you, why should I adopt you to the Meng family?" ?”

Meng Qing lowered his head slightly and looked at Chang Yu, his eyes like knives.

"Isn't it because my uncle is worried that I will affect the status of several cousins?"

Meng Qing's words were quite heart-wrenching.However, Chang Yu did not fall into embarrassment as he imagined, but laughed loudly.

"Compared to you, those brothers of yours are no better than Changshan. No matter how stupid I am, I am not stupid enough to abandon the leader. I am already old, and the Chang family's future only depends on you."

Meng Qing sat there with his face as usual, but there were huge ripples in his heart.

"This villa was the former property of the Meng family. Just 30 years passed by in a hurry. When I bought it, the once prominent family was gone and the foundation was gone. From Zong Shi, we can know why the Meng family declined. ?”

"In troubled times, military power is the most important thing. The Meng family abandoned it in order to make a false name, so they fell."

"That's true, but it's not entirely true. Su Zhe and I both once commanded armies, but we both gave up military power. Why didn't my Chang family and his Su family decline?" Meng Qing was stunned, and asked, "Uncle, please Please teach me!"

"The Meng family has been a high-ranking family for many generations, but it is the first to decline in these troubled times. It is because their people are immersed in the so-called noble blood and have completely forgotten the truth that this world can be conquered. He Meng The ancestors of the family and Emperor Taizu worked tirelessly and worked hard to achieve the great Zhou Dynasty for 800 years. The descendants have completely forgotten that the ancestors had a difficult road. They only thought that the glory was given by God and the blood was connected, which led to today's decline. Zongshi, I will adopt you as the Meng family. I want you to keep in mind that everything you have now and in the future cannot be given to you by your bloodline, nor can your family give it to you, and no one can give it to you. You can only fight for it and take it away by yourself."

"Qing Shou Jiao."

Meng Qing bowed and bowed, sincerely convinced.

"Brother Gengyu's words are really shocking."

There was a burst of laughter outside the door, Meng Qing stood up, wondering who was so rude.

Chang Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he brushed the hem of his old clothes, only to see the door open again, and a tall, middle-aged man walked in.

This person was very strange. Meng Qing was sure that he was not a court official and was not a member of the family.

"The Hai Clan's stronghold was slaughtered, and the Monster Clan suffered heavy losses. The whereabouts of the three great monsters are unknown, and Wu Jiu also fell into the hands of Huan Wu. Lord Qiongqi still has the intention to visit me?"

Chang Yu spoke in a leisurely tone, and his words were full of ridicule towards this great demon whose cultivation was comparable to that of the great master.

Meng Qing was shocked.He did not expect that his uncle would actually have contacts with the demon clan.

"They are just minor characters. It would be no shame even if they all die." Qiongqi waved his hand indifferently, "I am here to make a deal with Brother Gengyu."

Chang Yu turned slightly sideways with a smile on his face, "It is said that in the Demon Realm, the Demon Emperor's power is gradually fading, and the Prince's faction has gained the upper hand. Now, does Lord Qiongqi still have enough chips in his hand to trade with me?"

Qiongqi's eyes were frightened and angry, but he finally restrained himself and smiled.

"The prince only relied on that little fox Su Ying to achieve his current power. And what I came here today is to get a secret about Yang Xian and Su Zhe."

Before Qiongqi could finish speaking, Chang Yu stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Su Zhe was a great hero, but Yang You'an, his old boss, was his biggest weakness. He could hide it from everyone in the world, but he couldn't hide it from me. But as the saying goes: 'Everyone sweeps the snow in front of his own door, and don't worry about the frost on other people's tiles.' I don't want to know about the secrets of Su Zhe and Yang Xian, and I hope Mr. Qiongqi will not open his mouth."

"Brother Gengyu is like this. It seems that this deal cannot be negotiated."

Qiongqi's tone was unkind.Just when Meng Qing thought he was going to take action, the big demon stood up and walked away.

"Uncle, do you really not want to know that secret?"

Seeing Qiongqi go away, Meng Qing breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"To be able to make Qiongqi like this, this secret must be quite interesting. Unfortunately, Huan Wu took action, and now there is no place for them in the divine capital. What's funny is that these aliens are in the middle of the situation, but they are totally unaware of it. I don't know." Chang Yu smiled, stood up slowly, and walked to the courtyard door.

The cool breeze blew and the fragrance entered his nose. Chang Yu closed his eyes and sighed.

"Jing'an knows me, and I know Jing'an. After all, we have different paths and we don't conspire against each other."
