Chapter 110 Enemies

The water from the river center can be drunk directly, but it is said that it will become sweeter after being left to stand overnight. A perfectionist like Meng Ting certainly won't do that casually.

Early the next morning, Meng Ting woke them all up and said he would use the water from the river to make tea for them.

Aside from Su Fengzhang, who was accustomed to waking up early and looking energetic, the others were somewhat listless, especially Xu Zifeng, who looked helpless and shouted, "Brother Meng, Meng Ting, Meng Youran, my good brothers, can't you just let me sleep in a little longer?"

Meng Ting slapped him on the back and said with a smile, "You can sleep anytime. You can't drink tea made with river water all the time. After this round, I guarantee you'll be thinking about it every day."

Xu Zifeng felt that it was a mistake to board this pirate ship. He said with a bitter face, "I would rather drink well water to make tea."

Even though he had a bitter face, it didn't dampen Meng Ting's spirits. He didn't want the servant to do anything this time and said, "I'll make the tea myself today. Just be happy in your hearts."

Xu Zifeng sighed, turned around and asked Su Fengzhang: "How long did you stay guarding yesterday? You really can stand him."

Su Fengzhang smiled and said, "Brother Meng taught me how to play chess yesterday, and I benefited a lot from it."

When Xu Zifeng heard this, he subconsciously took another look at Su Fengzhang, thinking that this Mr. Su was also weird. You say he was greedy for power and wealth, but he was usually neither humble nor arrogant, and I have never seen him deliberately trying to please others.

But you say he has no scheming, but Xu Zifeng thinks that's impossible. In just a few days, Meng Ting regarded him as a good friend. What's even more strange is that he also has a good relationship with Li Sanlang. This cannot be achieved by just having talent.

Xu Zifeng was quite interested in him. A young student with talent, no background, and good interpersonal skills was exactly the type that the Xu family liked to recruit.

Thinking of this, Xu Zifeng's tone became even more kind: "Oh, Brother Meng can teach people? You're not going to start scolding me without even giving me a few pointers, are you?"

Meng Ting looked up at him and cursed, "Xu Zifeng, are you so malicious as to speculate like that?"

"Brother Meng, I don't know about others, but you and I don't know. When I was in the provincial school, others asked you for advice, but you scolded them before they could even say three sentences. I didn't make up this rumor, did I?" Xu Zifeng laughed.

It was too normal for this kind of thing to happen to Meng Ting. Even his friends rarely asked him for advice, for fear of being scolded by him.

Meng Ting did not deny it and emphasized: "That guy is as stupid as a pig. He doesn't understand what people say and he comes out to embarrass himself. Is there anything I said wrong?"

Su Fengzhang also understood Meng Ting's character and couldn't help but say, "Brother Meng, you are so unruly, isn't there anyone who can put you in a sack?"

Meng Ting asked curiously, "Why do you want to put me in a sack?"

Xu Zifeng understood what he meant and patted Su Fengzhang on the shoulder and laughed.

Meng Ting rolled his eyes and thought they were crazy. He was used to being casual and had cursed many times, so he didn't take it seriously at all: "Come, try my cooking."

Su Fengzhang picked up the teacup, and a scent of tea hit his face. He lowered his head and sniffed it, and felt that the taste seemed to be better than usual. The tea soup was clear and it was extremely mellow after one sip.

Xu Zifeng had already praised loudly: "Good tea, the tea leaves are good, and the water from the river is even better. The tea fragrance is melodious, the taste is mellow, and the aftertaste is full. It is indeed an endless aftertaste."

Meng Ting ignored him and poured himself a cup and drank it slowly. He and Su Fengzhang sat face to face, sipping tea quietly, which made Xu Zifeng seem particularly noisy.

Xu Zifeng also realized this, stopped his exaggerated praise, and lowered his head to quietly sip his tea.

For a moment, the deck was extremely quiet except for the gentle breeze and the smell of tea.

Not far away, Su Arong scratched his hair and turned to ask Meng Ting's servant: "Brother, why are they suddenly silent? No one is talking."

The servant was a rare person to follow Meng Ting. He said, "What's so strange about this? Don't be surprised by anything that happens to our young master. Just get used to it."

Su Arong became even more confused, thinking that his own Erlang was already difficult to understand. Sometimes he simply couldn't grasp the meaning of Erlang's words. Now this Meng Ting, the eldest young master of the Meng family, was even more difficult to understand. Anyway, waiting for a day and a night for the water from the center of the river to make tea was something that not ordinary people could do.

Tea is a magical drink. It clearly has the function of a substitute, but when you drink it, you will feel very peaceful inside. Especially at this moment, the three of them have the illusion of living in seclusion in the mountains.

It’s a pity that something soon broke this beautiful scene of breeze and bright moon.

"Ah!" The one who screamed was Xu Zifeng. He saw a fast arrow shot from the side and smashed the teacup in his hand into pieces.

Su Fengzhang almost subconsciously grabbed the two of them and rolled over, hiding behind the table: "Could there be pirates?"

"How is it possible? We have such a big ship and we are on the canal. How could there be pirates here?" Meng Ting said.

Xu Zifeng was still in shock. He looked up in the direction of the arrow and his face became even darker.

He pushed aside the two people beside him and stood up. It was the first time that Su Fengzhang saw an angry look on the face of Mr. Xu from the capital. He rushed to the deck regardless of the danger and roared, "He Jun, what the hell did you do!"

It is rare to see Xu Zifeng, who is always so elegant, actually get so angry that he starts cursing.

From his every move, Su Fengzhang realized that this was definitely not the work of pirates, and his heart was relieved immediately. He was really afraid of encountering pirates again. Who knew if he would be as lucky as last time.

Su Fengzhang looked up at the opposite side, and saw that a large ship had appeared on the right side of their passenger ship. The specifications of the ship were very different, and it could be recognized as an official ship at a glance.

At this time, a man was standing on the deck at the other end. He looked a few years younger than Xu Zifeng, with a strong build and dark skin. He was wearing an indigo suit and holding a □□ in his hand, which was obviously the murder weapon.

Facing Xu Zifeng's scolding, He Jun laughed heartily and said loudly, "Young Master Xu, you are so cowardly at this time. I was just joking with you."

Xu Zifeng's teeth creaked as he practically squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Are you taking this as a joke?"

Meng Ting had been frightened to death just now, and after hearing this, he cursed angrily: "What a joke! Is this how anyone jokes? Do you want me to shoot you with an arrow so that you can also taste this kind of joke?"

He Jun loaded the gun in his hand with arrows and aimed left and right at them, saying, "If you have the ability to hit the target every time, you can try it. I'll accompany you."

"But if you miss a shot and I lose an arm or a leg, you'll have to pay with your life."

Xu Zifeng was so angry that his face turned blue, but he didn't dare to really shoot an arrow like He Jun did. He could only jump up and down and curse: "He Jun, don't go too far. If you have the guts, shoot here."

He Jun gestured slowly and said with a smile: "You are a member of the Xu family, how dare I shoot at your throat? Look at you, it's just a joke, why make a big deal out of it."

"I don't think this is a joke," Xu Zifeng cursed. "When we get to the capital, I'm going to go to the He family and ask Old Madam He, is the He family's family education just about people pointing dicks at others?"

Hearing this, He Jun's face suddenly turned cold, his hand loosened, and the arrow shot out.

This time it was not aimed at Xu Zifeng, but instead hit one of their masts with a snapping sound. If the force was not strong enough, the entire mast would have been broken.

Even so, Xu Zifeng was frightened to death. His face turned pale and he pointed at the people on the opposite boat with trembling fingers. He couldn't believe that he would be so unscrupulous.

He Jun even asked with a smile: "This time it's not directed at you, Master Xu won't be scared again, right?"

"I'm wondering if you, the Xu family, are any good. You all climbed up the ladder by relying on women, and you only know how to curry favor with everyone. The man in charge is as timid as a mouse, and he doesn't even have the guts to be the boss."

"If I were you, I would have found a cave to hide in and would never have dared to go out."

"But it's true. Apart from these nepotism, what real abilities does your Xu family have?"

Xu Zifeng's face had originally turned pale, but now it flushed red with anger. He roared, "He Jun, you're going too far. If you have the guts, wait until we return to the capital and we'll go and have a talk with His Majesty."

Who knew He Jun would burst out laughing after hearing this, mocking him, "Oh my, are you crying because you're scared? Are you going to complain? Did I hit you, or scold you, or did I say something wrong?"

"Even if I were to speak to His Majesty, I, He Jun, would not be afraid." Compared to Xu Zifeng, this troublemaker seemed more confident and unafraid.

Meng Ting's temper could no longer be contained, and he cursed loudly, "Today I finally understand what it means to be the wicked who complain first. How can you be considered a hero if you are a villain who only speaks sweet words and shoots arrows from behind? You even mock Brother Xu for being timid, but I think you are the coward."

He Jun said, "Master Xu, you are very good at talking, but this scoundrel of yours is also very good at talking. What's his name?"

Xu Zifeng subconsciously grabbed Meng Ting, but the latter had already shouted: "I will not change my name, I am Meng Ting of Qingzhou Prefecture."

"You are very courageous. If you were not a good friend of Young Master Xu, I would like to make friends with you."

After saying this, He Jun's face turned cold, "Do you know what the crime of insulting the royal family is?"

Only then did Xu Zifeng have time to explain: "Although that man's surname is He, he is the legitimate son of Princess Ronghe. He was canonized as Prince of Xi when he was seven years old."

Although Meng Ting had a bad temper, he was not a stupid person. He obviously realized that if the charges were proven, not only him but also the Meng family would be in trouble.

He Jun laughed heartily and shouted, "If you kowtow to me and admit your mistake now, I, the prince, can let you go!"
