Chapter 49
It’s easy to ask God but hard to send him away
When Meng Heyin and Ming Rong came to the front hall, Takahashi happened to come out of it.
Meng Heyin was worried about how he would explain his sudden increase in strength to Takahashi when he mentioned what happened yesterday.
Takahashi was thinking that they had often been wandering around the back mountain recently, and wondered if they had discovered the secret. It would be better to take this opportunity to expel them from Luojiang Village to solve their worries.
Mingrong, on the other hand, was thinking about which way to take the treasure quickly and then take Meng Heyin away if Meng Heyin and Takahashi really got into a fight.
The three of them each had their own plans. At this moment, they suddenly bumped into each other, and an awkward atmosphere spread. The two parties looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.
Fortunately, there was still someone here who was staying out of the situation. Takahashi looked at the old cat who was following the two of them and wanted to stand as far away as possible.
"Well done, please step back." Takahashi said kindly to the old cat.
The old cat trembled all over, glanced at Takahashi flattered, and then ran away quickly.
After saying the first sentence, the second sentence is not difficult.
"Young Master, are you getting used to living here?" Gao Qiao said.
"Alright."
"I heard that the young master and the girl often fight in the back mountain today. I don't know..."
Meng Heyin thought to himself that he really wanted to ask about Houshan, so he pricked up his ears to hear how Mingrong was going to answer.
Ming Rong said calmly: "The sun and moon are long in the village, we have nothing to do but practice our skills."
"Yes," Meng Heyin intervened at the right time, with a bit of acrimony in his tone, and made the matter of "practicing" a reality, "It's just a practice, but you have killed me."
As if he didn't expect Meng Heyin to say this in front of Takahashi, Mingrong felt a little embarrassed and looked a little embarrassed.
The two of them put on a good show, but Takahashi, the only audience member of the show, was not thinking about the show at all.
Takahashi saw the change in Ming Rong's face and thought that it was difficult for the master and servant to show their respect for each other, but he still smiled and said, "So it turns out that the village is really poor and I have treated you two badly."
The tone of Takahashi's words was not exactly dog-like, but it was more or less flattering. Seeing Takahashi's expression, Mingrong secretly glanced at Meng Heyin.
Takahashi is so arrogant and courteous in every possible way. Is he asking for help from them?
So the two of them relaxed, folded their hands in unison, and waited leisurely for Takahashi's tricks.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Gao Qiao seemed to be acquiescing that the village had treated them badly. He felt angry, but he still held back his anger and said to Meng Heyin: "Girl, I'm telling you nothing, I have something to ask of you."
"Oh?" Meng Heyin raised his eyebrows. He originally thought it was related to Ming Rong, but he didn't expect that it was actually him.
"Ahem." Meng Heyin cleared his throat and put on a harmless smile, "Master, is there anything I can do for you?"
"I'm ashamed to say that," Takahashi raised his eyes to check Ming Rong's expression, and saw that he had no objection before continuing, "You also know this person, Mrs. Ji."
After hearing that this matter was related to Ji Qiao, Meng Heyin also became alert and said quietly: "What's wrong with Madam Ji?"
Takahashi smacked his lips in embarrassment, looking very embarrassed. He paused and then said: "Ms. Ji needs something, but she is physically inconvenient, so she wants to go to the city to help her buy it."
"OK."
After Takahashi finished speaking, he thought that Meng Heyin would hesitate for a long time or decline, but he never expected that Meng Heyin would agree so readily.
Takahashi blinked and asked, "Is the girl really willing to help with this?"
Meng Heyin pinched herself hard to prevent herself from appearing too happy, and said solemnly: "Of course, Madam Ji has helped me, I should repay her."
"That's good." Takahashi was also briefly happy, and then he saw Ming Rong, who was still standing next to him, and paused, "Sir, do you want to go with the girl?"
Ming Rong remained silent, thinking in his mind what the purpose of Takahashi's actions was.
Takahashi didn't know that they already knew the plan to siege the city, but they wanted to put him back in the city on the eve of the siege. There must be something more important than siege. But there is something more important than siege.
After much deliberation, the only thing I can think of is the treasure in the back mountain.
After thinking about this point clearly, how could Mingrong still have the same feelings as Takahashi, he shook his head.
Takahashi was stunned, and his tone became a little serious: "Master, won't you go with the girl?"
Mingrong shook his head again: "What should I do with my daughter's things?"
Alarm bells rang in Takahashi's heart. Mingrong refused to leave, so he must have known the secret of Houshan. Even a superior officer could not let him get involved in this secret without a real military order.
Just when he was about to persuade again, he suddenly heard Meng Heyin's voice.
"Master, just go with me." Meng Heyin pulled Mingrong's sleeve and shook it.
Out of sight of Takahashi, Meng Heyin's fingers tapped Ming Rong's wrist lightly. This was the gesture they had just agreed upon, and it was used as a warning if something was wrong.
In Takahashi's eyes, as the sleeves swayed, the determination on Mingrong's face gradually dissipated.
Meng Heyin continued: "Don't you already dislike the boring village?"
Mingrong thought for a moment, then responded Congshan Ruliu: "That's right, then I'll follow you."
When the alarm was lifted, Takahashi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great. The matter is urgent. You two should go down the mountain as soon as possible."
When the two left, Meng Heyin was still holding Ming Rong's sleeve.
Takahashi looked at the two people's backs for a while and sighed sincerely: "It's easy to invite gods but hard to send them away."
If this kid didn't have an important identity, how could he be his superior with his appearance as a playboy? The opportunity he only got after a narrow escape was just a gold-plated brick.
Takahashi lamented his life experience again, and left with a long sigh.
On the other side, after the two of them walked a certain distance, Mingrong picked up Meng Heyin's hand and asked quietly.
"What does Fangcai mean?"
"Can't you see?" Meng Heyin said with a smile in his eyes, "He is doubting you. If you really force yourself to stay, I'm afraid you will never be able to get even half a step into the back mountain."
Mingrong snorted softly, "If I want to enter, how can he stop me?"
Meng Heyin said with a smile: "Then why did you agree?"
Meng Heyin was smiling brightly in front of her. Mingrong wanted to reach out and scratch her nose for a moment, but in the end she made no move. Instead, she said: "Don't be a good boy just to get an advantage. If you want me to come with you, I won't be taking advantage of your wish."
?”
Meng Heyin laughed, "I really can't hide it from you."
Ming Rong said it was indeed true. If she returned to the city alone, it would not be impossible to hold the county seat with the help of those county soldiers in Qiongzhou, but it would be hellishly difficult. Even if she could hold it on her own, she would never be able to rob it again.
Baby.
If she had capable people, she could give it a try, but she didn't. Therefore, keeping Ming Rong by her side was the best solution.
What surprised her was that Ming Rong clearly saw through her little tricks, but still happily accepted them.
Meng Heyin suddenly looked at Mingrong seriously, but happened to catch a pair of equally serious eyes.
…
This is an even more embarrassing embarrassment than before.
Finally, Meng Heyin said: "What do you think happened to him? Why did he suddenly ask us to leave the village?"
