The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 118 If you never forget it, there will be repercussions

The fleeing cavalry made Lu Chong, who was commanding the battle, feel terrified.

This Meng Tingzhou is so terrifying. He clearly has only a few thousand men at his disposal and is trapped on the top of a mountain, yet he can come up with strategies again and again to deal with his elite troops.

"No..." Seeing more and more casualties, he began to ask people to cover his retreat, "Return immediately! Retreat!"

When Pei Qing saw that he was about to escape, he immediately rushed forward to block him.

Lu Chong naturally recognized him, and looked at him calmly, "Sir Pei, if you are willing to be loyal to me, in the future..."

"I am an incompetent subordinate. If I follow Lord Lu, I will probably end up in jail."

"you!"

Pei Qing directly put the sword on his neck: "Master Lu, please."

When Lu Chong was brought to Meng Tingzhou in a state of humiliation, he still said stubbornly: "Meng Tingzhou, I am following the order of the emperor. Have you ever thought about the consequences of disobeying the order?"

Meng Tingzhou reached out and patted his face with the back of his hand: "Lord Lu, as the Minister of War, you should be in charge of the capital. Why did the emperor send you to lead the troops? Have you ever thought about it?"

He curled his lips coldly: "Because the emperor believes that you are a waste and are not qualified for the position of Minister of War. Even if I let you go back today, do you think the court will still tolerate you?"

Lu Chong argued: "You are talking nonsense! I am not here on the orders of the emperor..."

"You want to say that you were not His Majesty's first choice?" Meng Tingzhou sneered disdainfully, "Let me guess, was it Song Huaizhi and Liu Chengyu who hinted that you would take the job?"

Having his thoughts guessed, Lu Chong looked very upset: "How did you know?"

Meng Tingzhou paced slowly: "Do you think that if you send a few women to serve Song Huaizhi, he will be your man? Lu Chong, I shouldn't say that you are stupid or that you don't take him seriously enough."

Thinking of how Song Huaizhi had hinted to him to take the initiative to arrest Meng Tingzhou in front of the emperor, Lu Chong originally thought that he was being used by him, but he didn't know that he was being used by him instead.

"What about Liu Chengyu?" Lu Chong shook his head in disbelief. This was the person he had personally cultivated, so when did he betray him?
"Liu Chengyu is the queen's man, so he is naturally better at judging the situation than you." Meng Tingzhou shook his head in disgust, "He has never thought about being loyal to you, but he wants to... replace you."

Lu Chong might not know that since the incident with Jiang Xingyuan, he has been walking step by step into the trap set by the emperor.

His Majesty needs a scapegoat to take all the sins.

Lu Chong, Minister of War...

Who else is more suitable besides him?

So stupid!

Lu Chong collapsed on the ground in disbelief: "Meng Tingzhou, all of this is fabricated by you! I am the newly promoted Minister of War of Dayan, how could the emperor treat me like this! Why would he treat me like this!"

Meng Tingzhou seemed to be annoyed by his noise, grabbed his collar and said viciously: "I used to be as close to Your Majesty as a brother, and I have made great contributions to Dayan. I risked my life to defend Dayan, but Your Majesty wants to kill me. Why is it so?"

When Lu Chong saw the murderous intent in his eyes, he finally understood that their emperor never trusted anyone. All the ministers were people he could use. Once they were used up, he would kill them all.

“Hahahaha…” Lu Chong laughed crazily, “Your Majesty! You are so amazing!”

Meng Tingzhou threw him to the ground and said, "Come here, send this lingering thing back."

When he heard that he was going to send him back, Lu Chong seemed to have anticipated his own fate, and his eyes widened: "You want me to go back and die?"

"You are His Majesty's man, and you must go back to die."

The two men on the left and right held Lu Chong, preventing him from resisting at all.

Lu Chong looked at Meng Tingzhou, whom he had always regarded as his opponent, and realized that he was no match for him at all.

His plans and thoughts were too profound and brilliant.

It seemed that nothing could escape his eyes. "Meng Tingzhou, if I were His Majesty, I would be afraid of you, you are too scary!" Lu Chong shook his head, "Do you think His Majesty will give up? Without me, Lu Chong, there will be others who will come to hunt you down!"

"You have already handed over the black armor soldiers. What can you use to resist Dayan's soldiers?"

Meng Tingzhou glanced at him calmly and said, "After today's separation, I'm afraid we may never see each other again in this life. I hope Lord Lu takes care."

"Meng Tingzhou!"

Lu Chong thought about what he was about to face and trembled in fear: "I am defeated today, but I can't guarantee that you won't become another me in the future! As far as I know, Song Huaizhi has always been obsessed with your wife..."

"I joined the Jiangning Army for my wife, I came to the capital to become the princess's favorite for my wife, and now I am trying so hard to deal with you for my wife..."

"Master Lu, please don't worry about this matter. Whether it is today or after death, you and I have never been on the same path."

Meng Tingzhou, wearing armor, walked into the house without looking back.

As the sun set, he walked in the white snow, his figure was particularly tall, and Lu Chong was dragged farther and farther away until he could no longer be seen.

After entering the door, someone took off Meng Tingzhou's armor.

He walked up to the room on the second floor with a serious face.

Hearing the noise, Jiang Shiwan took the initiative to open the door. When she saw him, and their eyes met, she knew that he must have succeeded.

Jiang Shiwan hugged him gently and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The faint presence of her invaded his brain.

"Meimei, have you ever heard that if you think about something, it will have a positive effect?"

Seeing Jiang Shiwan nodded in his arms, his heart couldn't help but tremble a little.

He didn't know if as long as Song Huaizhi kept his belief, he would wait for the day when Jiang Shiwan would respond.

If such a day really comes, will she rush to Song Huaizhi without hesitation?

Thinking of this, Meng Tingzhou's heart ached slightly.

He admitted that he was narrow-minded. He loved her, loved her with all his heart, and loved her so much that he didn't want to give anyone else the chance to be loved by her.

My past self would never let this happen.

But now I only have ten years.

Even if she has been by his side for the past ten years, what about ten years later?

People are always powerless in the face of time.

He felt even more reluctant to let her go when he thought about her being left alone in this world for the rest of her life.

In this moment, many complex and indescribable images flashed through Meng Tingzhou's mind.

He closed the door with his foot, held her face in his hands, and seeing her eyes shining like stars, he couldn't help but kiss her.

The world is spinning.

"Meimei, hold me tight." He lowered his voice in her ear, which was particularly tempting. "If you give me advice, I will give you my body."

Jiang Shiwan couldn't break free from him and punched him in the chest. Suddenly, she remembered that he had been injured and immediately looked at her in horror.

Meng Tingzhou pulled open his collar, revealing his horrible wound: "Since you know, take the initiative."
