Chapter 846 Goodbye Ye Mengxiong

Xiao Ruxun put the meeting place with Ye Mengxiong next to a post station in the north of Zhifang Town.

There is a small pavilion next to this station. I don’t know when and who built it, but the appearance of the small pavilion is exactly the same as the small pavilion that Xiao Ruxun and Ye Mengxiong were in when they parted ways in the capital. Xiao Ruxun couldn’t leave when he saw it. It's time to move.

So he put the meeting place here, and then, as it was back then, asked the old Huotou who accompanied the army to do a few small stir-fries, and got some good wine in the cellar.

It’s already quite cold in October now, and it’s no longer feasible to drink iced grape wine like that at that time. It’s better to drink some old wine, which can strengthen your health in this cold weather.

The time agreed with Ye Mengxiong was the four quarters of the day, Ye Mengxiong was always on time, and appeared in Xiao Ruxun's field of vision very punctually.

Seeing that the 67-year-old Ye Mengxiong came riding a horse, Xiao Ruxun was also deeply moved, so he hurried to greet him regardless of the obstruction of the two guards around him.

"Grand Ye!"

"Ji Xin!"

Ye Mengxiong dismounted after a certain distance, handed over the horse to the two attendants behind him, and walked towards Xiao Ruxun on foot.

Xiao Ruxun also stepped forward quickly, and when he came closer, Ye Mengxiong stretched out his hands to support Xiao Ruxun's shoulders with excitement, and looked Xiao Ruxun up and down.

"You're more calm than before, and you're no longer that brat. It seems that years of fighting have brought you a lot. It's so good, so good!"

The smile on Ye Mengxiong's face couldn't stop at all, and so did Xiao Ruxun.

"Ye Gong is as strong as before, and he will grow stronger when he is old. Ru Xun is not as good as Xun! Ru Xun has prepared some thin wine here, Ye Gong, please!"

"Good! Good!"

Ye Mengxiong followed Xiao Ruxun to the small pavilion.

In front of the small pavilion, Ye Mengxiong stopped, looked at it for a while, and then laughed again.

"This pavilion seems familiar! Ji Xin, isn't this the pavilion when you and I parted outside the capital?"

Xiao Ruxun laughed: "Mr. Ye has good eyesight. This pavilion is really very similar to the one when we parted. When I first saw it, I was a little dazed. I thought that time went back to that year."

Ye Mengxiong sighed.

"Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon fly by. In a blink of an eye, it has been so many years, and so many things have happened in the world, but I don't know when I can really settle down."

Ye Mengxiong looked at Xiao Ruxun.

Xiao Ruxun smiled, then helped Ye Mengxiong to the small pavilion.

"These small dishes were prepared by Ru Xun back then. There was a good chef in the army, so I asked him to make them. Unfortunately, it is cold now, and I dare not make iced grape wine, so I found a good one from the cellar. Wine, I would like to have a drink or two with Ye Gong today."

Ye Mengxiong looked at the side dishes and wine pots on the table with a smile, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay! It's been a while since I've had a good meal or drink. Come, sit, sit down and talk!"

Xiao Ruxun helped Ye Mengxiong to sit down, then sat on another stone stool by himself, filled Ye Mengxiong's wine glass, and filled a glass of wine himself.

"Ye Gong, this glass of wine, I respect you!"

Xiao Ruxun picked up the wine glass.

Ye Mengxiong also smiled and picked up the wine glass.

"Okay, okay, come on, let's not talk, let's have a drink first!"

After all, the two drank a glass of wine together.

After drinking, the two picked up their chopsticks.

"Come on, Ye Gong, try these small dishes. The cooks in our army are all good at cooking. They were selected from the refugees from the Central Plains to Burma a few years ago. Many of them are cooks in taverns and restaurants. Their skills are not good. It has to be said that there are also specialties of various places, and I can also eat many local specialties in Myanmar.”

Xiao Ruxun introduced these dishes to Ye Mengxiong with a smile.

"Oh? And this matter? Then I have to try it!"

Ye Mengxiong chuckled, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth to chew, then showed a satisfied expression: "En! Not bad! Not bad! To be able to make this kind of taste, it must be a cook who has worked in the restaurant for many years, Ji Xin, you really know how to run a business. In a dead land like Myanmar, where there are more than 100 million homeless refugees, you have revitalized the whole situation for you."

Ye Mengxiong seemed quite emotional: "How many people in the government and the public paid a little bit of attention to Myanmar? Almost no one mentioned it. They only regarded Myanmar as a place like a pigsty. The population that could not be fed in the Central Plains was thrown into Myanmar. , so as not to become a rogue, but in the end you are like a treasure!"

Xiao Ruxun said with a smile: "There is no such thing as life and death? It's just that no one is willing to go camping. Myanmar is a land in the south of the world, but it is close to the sea. As long as there are boats and people, it will develop quickly. Let's not hide it from Ye Gong. Relying on the dead land of Burma, I have already contacted the Western Yi on the Europa Continent, and even sent a fleet to the Europa Continent, which was a place that the three treasure eunuchs had never set foot in back then."

Ye Mengxiong was amazed.

"Oh? And this matter? Does Europa really exist?"

"That's natural. We used to think that Frankie lived in Southeast Asia, but it's not true. Frankie lived on the continent of Europe. There are many other Western tribes on that continent. They also have several countries such as Korea and Wa. Countries, each other are also fighting endlessly..."

Xiao Ruxun generally shared the news that Chen Longzheng had brought back with Ye Mengxiong. Only then did Ye Mengxiong know how vast the world is, and there are such rich and colorful worlds outside of Ming Dynasty.

"So I started a business with them. I sent them silk tea, porcelain and iron pots. What they gave me was a lot of money, but I don't know what will happen right now."

Ye Mengxiong was sometimes amazed, sometimes thoughtful, and was extremely curious about what Xiao Ruxun had said.

"The world is so big and the world is so vast, this old man is really like a frog in a well!"

"Yeah, it's really fascinating to go out of the land of China, and there is such a vast space overseas!"

Talking like this, the atmosphere became more and more relaxed. After eating and drinking for a while, the two finally got to the point.

"Ji Xin, as the old man said, Shen Yiguan said that you rebelled, but the old man doesn't believe it. Now, you have to give the old man a definite explanation. As you said in the letter, Shen Yiguan really did the abolition of the king's treason? "

Xiao Ruxun sighed and put down his chopsticks.

"Ye Gong, did Ru Xun ever lie to you? Shen Guan always launched a mutiny at night, and wanted to kill me alone? The people who can be used by His Majesty, from Tengxiang Four Guards to Yuma Supervisor to Sili Supervisor, to More than 2000 Zhennan troops under my command all died under Shen Yiguan's mutiny.

Song Yingchang, former secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and Zhao Zhigao, the old chief assistant, also died for this. Shen always said that they died of illness, but it is too strange that two important officials died of illness.

Not to mention that Shen has always built Yuan Taichang ahead of schedule. According to the rules, it is common sense to build Yuan next year. He couldn't help but feel guilty about building Yuan ahead of time.The little emperor was simply a puppet pushed by Shen Yiguan. On the surface, Shen Yiguan was the chief assistant, but in fact he was acting as Cao Mengde and Sima Yi! "

Ye Mengxiong was silent for a while.

"What you said, the princes in Wuchang also have doubts. They are also questioning what Shen Yiguan is thinking about giving the new emperor Jianyuan in advance. Now it seems that Shen Yiguan has really done something outrageous! "

Ye Mengxiong's face became very ugly: "Shen has always been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, how could he do such a thing? How could he do such a thing that can only be done by an unfaithful and unjust thief?"

"Gong Ye, I'm not talking nonsense. In today's season, the literati's integrity is low and their desires are high, which is no less than that of the former Song Dynasty!"
