Monkie was a little embarrassed. He had been secretly protecting (supervising) Xu Tianze since Qicheng, ensuring that Xu Tianze would arrive at Shangjing City safely. By then, the penultimate step of the late emperor's plan would be implemented directly, and the unification of the country and the world would be just around the corner.
But who knew that he would run into Song Yu at Shili Pavilion. It wasn't a big deal, after all, everyone knew the secret thoughts in Song Yu's heart. But Song Yu directly proposed to take Xu Tianze away, and he disagreed.
Thanks to his high martial arts skills, he was able to use his internal energy to hear the conversation between Xu Tianze and Song Yu from a distance. However, it was precisely because he heard the conversation between the two that he became uneasy and leaked his breath.
Although Xu Tianze and Song Yu did not show anything abnormal, he could still guess that he was completely exposed. After all, both Xu Tianze and Song Yu were familiar with him, so he was able to show off in front of them so easily.
Just when Monk was thinking about whether to come out, he saw Xu Tianze still driving the carriage towards the capital, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Who knows what would happen, in the end he arrived at Shangjing City, but he refused to go in. Seeing that the city gate was about to close, Monk had to come forward.
"What you said is not true, Ozawa. The relationship between you and me is nothing more than a few words of concern." Monk smiled dryly.
"You and I have nothing to do with each other. Even if it doesn't matter, I will still be under surveillance all the way. If we were related, the knife would probably be on your neck, right?" Xu Tianze didn't give Monkie any face at all and directly exposed the superficial beauty.
"I always thought Commander Meng was just blindly loyal to the one on the throne, but I never thought Commander Meng was blindly loyal to Emperor Gan. His words of loyalty in the past are now so funny to hear."
"Alas - why should Xiaoze expose it?" Monk sighed with a frown on his face. If possible, he still wanted to maintain superficial peace with Xu Tianze.
After all, they grew up together, and he still liked the little follower who always followed him and called him Brother Meng. Now that he has grown up, the two of them have become estranged.
Although Monkie knew that what he did was wrong, as Xu Tianze said, the person he was truly loyal to was Emperor Gan, so naturally he had to put Emperor Gan's will first.
What's more, the destination is right in front of us. There is no question of whether to regret or not. There is only the destination ahead.
Xu Tianze nodded, then stood up when the stall owner brought two more meat patties and a bowl of wontons. "Let's consider this meal as our last friendship. Commander Meng, I'll go into the city first."
After saying that, Xu Tianze took Xichen and the other two and walked slowly towards the city gate. In the afterglow of the setting sun, they blended into the huge and dark city.
Monkie just stood there and watched Xu Tianze's back disappear. Finally, he sat in the seat where Xu Tianze had just sat, eating the steaming food.
It was just the simplest food, but it tasted like delicacies from the mountains and the sea in Monchi's mouth. He couldn't swallow it for a long time. He didn't know if it was the heat or the wind blowing into his eyes, which made his vision a little blurred.
"Brother Meng, why don't you touch all the food, but instead ask for a bowl of wontons every time?" The young Xu Tianze supported his head with his hands and tilted his head.
It's not surprising if it happens once or twice, but if it happens every time, then there is a problem.
"Because the other food here is also very ordinary, there is nothing I particularly want to eat, so these wontons seem more practical to me." Monkie thought for a while and answered seriously.
His sense of taste has been duller than that of ordinary people since he was young, so many times what is a delicacy to others is just something very ordinary to him. If this is the case, then there is no need for him to eat any specific food.
There's nothing wrong with this plain life.
Xu Tianze thought about it, gave Monchi a mysterious smile, and left with Monchi's wontons. When he came back, he looked at Monchi with anticipation.
"There's nothing ordinary about food. If you add something else, it immediately changes its taste. Let's try it again this time."
Monkie looked at the wontons, which appeared unchanged, and thought that Xu Tianze had at most added some salt or sugar, so he didn't care. He just picked up the bowl and started eating.
When Monkie took the wonton in his mouth, he realized that the taste had indeed changed, but it was not because of the addition of sugar or salt as he thought, but...
"It's shrimp." Xu Tianze placed a bag of shrimp in front of Meng Qi with a smile, "I asked the boss to make some shrimp broth and added it in. Although the appearance has not changed, the taste has changed."
"Just like how Brother Meng can still appreciate delicious food even though his sense of taste isn't that sharp, there are always changes. You can put some shrimp in your wontons in the future."
"If you don't like shrimp, just try something else. There are so many choices, there's bound to be a flavor that Brother Meng likes."
"No, shrimps are fine." Monk's eyes were a little moist, but there was a happy smile on his face.
Even his father only cared about whether he was diligent in practicing martial arts and the quality of his writing. His mother just wanted him to win face for her. As for his taste buds, they never cared.
What they like to eat and what they don’t like to eat are all insignificant matters to them. Sometimes they even say that they have a dull sense of taste and it doesn’t matter whether they enjoy delicious food or not, as long as they are full.
He had always thought that such a small matter did not need to be mentioned, but Xu Tianze told him that he could also have his favorite food, and he could still enjoy delicious food even if his taste buds were dull.
This was the first time someone had seriously told him about such a small matter that this was actually the case and that he could have his own preferences.
"Commander Meng has the leisure and elegance to eat wontons here, but I don't know who is working in the palace now." Song Yu saw Meng Qi still eating wontons there, with disgust on his face.
Such small stalls can be found everywhere in the city, but this man eats outside the city. It is obvious that once Aze enters Shangjing City, he has completed his mission.
"Your Majesty will decide the affairs of the palace, so there is no need for you, Duke Zhenguo, to worry about it." Meng Qi came back to his senses, his brows furrowed.
But he didn't show it and continued to eat his wontons slowly, as if today was just his day off.
"Commander Meng is doing his job like this, so I naturally can't say anything, but Commander Meng had better not provoke me, otherwise I can't be sure what I will do." Song Yu's eyes were brewing with murderous intent, and he gave a subtle warning.
If it weren't for Monkie's leak of his aura outside the Shili Pavilion, maybe he could really persuade Aze to leave Shangjing City, but the bad thing was that Monkie leaked his aura, so now Song Yu was extremely unhappy with Monkie.
"Song Yu, do you really think that Xiaoze didn't choose to leave Shangjing City with you because I leaked the aura?" Monchi put down his chopsticks and looked at the city gate in the dusk with deep eyes.
