Chapter 1767 Not Hidden, Given Away
Shu Yu smiled and said, "But Uncle Meng looks very pleased."
Meng Pei chuckled, "That's right. Your uncle's personality, to put it bluntly, is that of a simpleton, someone who doesn't know how to think outside the box. But to put it another way, it's called being loyal and righteous. Isn't someone like that especially reassuring?"
He said this with a rather proud air.
Shu Yu, "..."
She couldn't help but shake her head, smiling as she walked with Meng Pei outside. Once everyone had gone far away, she finally whispered, "Uncle Meng, that Xuanyuan Sword, really..."
Meng Pei replied in a low voice, "The Xuanyuan Sword is left at the Quansheng Escort Agency in Tianning County."
However, upon hearing these words, Shu Yu suddenly stopped in her tracks.
The Quansheng Escort Agency in Tianning County—wasn't that where Meng Pei and Song Xin stayed for ten years? Later, Song Xin died there, and the escort agency was half burned down by the people sent by Gong Qiu.
etc……
Shu Yu suddenly remembered something. She looked up at Meng Pei, frowned, and asked thoughtfully, "Uncle Meng, do you remember when we went back to Tianning County and met Uncle Yan?"
"What's wrong?"
"When we entered, we saw Sanlaizi and his gang of thugs preparing to carry Yanbo, who was delirious with a high fever, out. We caught them red-handed. Sanlaizi confessed that someone had bribed them to do this, with the aim of seizing control of Quansheng Escort Agency. Later, as Sanlaizi instructed, we waited at the agreed meeting place, but the person who bribed them never showed up."
Meng Pei suddenly remembered, "You mean..."
"I've always wondered what the person behind bribing Sanlaizi suddenly wanted with the Quansheng Escort Agency for. The house was mostly burned down, and there's nothing left inside. Now, Uncle Meng is saying that there's still the Xuanyuan Sword inside. Could it be that they're after that sword?"
Meng Pei was startled, then nodded thoughtfully. "You're right, Quansheng Escort Agency really has nothing left. Especially after so many years, Gong Qiu has already had people search the place thoroughly. But I hid that sword very well. If the other party really knows about the Xuanyuan Sword, it's not impossible for them to take over Quansheng Escort Agency and then slowly search for it."
However, the other party clearly did not expect that Gong Qiu was dead, but Meng Pei was still alive.
The Quansheng Escort Agency has now been renovated. Although neither Meng Pei nor his son live there, the house is owned. Meng Yunzheng is now a scholar, so it wouldn't be easy for the other party to take it over.
Meng Pei's lips were taut, and after a long while he said, "It seems that once things are settled here, I will have to go back to Tianning County and retrieve that sword."
"Where does Uncle Meng plan to hide it after taking it out?"
Meng Pei snorted coldly, "I won't hide it, I'll give it away."
Shu Yu, “…” Huh?
"Many people already know that the Meng family has the Xuanyuan Sword. Although I just said that the sword was lost, some people believe it, but many others don't. Your uncle has already suffered so much because of this thing, and I don't want anything else to happen to my family because of it."
Shu Yu smiled and said, "Uncle Meng, are you willing to part with it?"
"What's there to be reluctant about? That sword is indeed a fine sword, but we can't take it out in public all the time. It's also very heavy, and only a strong person can use it. We can only hide it away all the time. We have to worry about its reputation all the time. Why bother?"
