Chapter 127 A Brief Confrontation
When Meng Jin and his men hurried to Black Tiger Village, he heard Shen Yu say these vicious words.
"General Shen is so arrogant! He even mobilized troops without permission and massacred thousands of border civilians!"
Thinking he had caught Shen Yu's handle, Meng Jin could hardly hide the smugness on his face.
Shen Yu turned around and saw Meng Jin walking slowly towards him with a horse.
The firelight reflected on Meng Jin's face, clearly illuminating his beautiful skin.
Is this the childhood sweetheart who harassed Wen Wan?
The boy looks like a girl, just a sissy.
Shen Yu glanced at him coldly with an unfriendly tone.
"Is Minister Meng's eyesight bad? How could he call the Black Tiger Village bandits border civilians? Do your people have tattoos on their chests?"
As he spoke, he lifted the clothes of a gangster at his feet to reveal the black tiger tattoo on his chest.
Meng Jin's face darkened when he was confronted.
He miscalculated and wanted to accuse Shen Yu of killing civilians indiscriminately, but he didn't expect to be exposed immediately.
Shanshui, who was standing nearby, was terrified when he heard the conversation between the two.
As soon as they met, the situation became tense.
There is a hidden confrontation in both sentences.
Fortunately, it looks like the general narrowly won.
Meng Jin pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly, "Ah, so I misunderstood General Shen. I was saying, General Shen is the god of war who protects the Duan Dynasty, how could he kill civilians indiscriminately. But..."
I know he can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth.
Chen Yu interrupted coldly, "Minister Meng, be careful with your words! This is an important matter entrusted by the emperor. Are you sure you want to say it in front of so many people?"
Meng Jin hesitated for a moment, then smiled, "Okay, let's talk for a moment."
*
After the two of them were away from the crowd, Meng Jin got straight to the point.
"Without anyone around, General Shen, let's be frank. If you're trying to use the excuse that the Black Tiger Camp stole the Cangqi secret box, and that's why you're sending troops here... I don't believe it."
"I came here after you. How could you mobilize the border town garrison to encircle and suppress Black Tiger Village in such a short time? Unless you can predict the future and mobilize the troops in advance."
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Shen Yu's face.
He looked down on this sissy for being able to reach a high position at such a young age.
Meng Jin turned the tables and changed the subject, "But I'm not incapable of covering up for General Shen."
Shen Yu frowned and asked, "What do you want?"
Meng Jin said in a deep voice: "I want to be alone."
In an instant, Shen Yu knew Meng Jin's intention. As expected, he heard Meng Jin say, "There is a girl who is staying in General Shen's backyard. She is half blind..."
"Heh," Shen Yu's teeth itched and his face looked very ugly.
Meng Jin didn't notice his strangeness and continued, "To be honest, that girl is someone I care about very much. However, she is simple-minded and was deceived by a small lieutenant under General Shen. That's why she has a prejudice against me now."
"I believe that as long as she comes back to me, she will eventually know who in this world truly cares about her."
After Meng Jin finished speaking, he waited for a long time but didn't hear Shen Yu's response.
As soon as he looked up, he met Shen Yu's cold gaze.
"General Shen..."
Shen Yu: "A small lieutenant bewitched her?"
"yes."
"You want her to come back to you?"
"yes."
Shen Yu sneered angrily, and with a flick of his fingers, he almost couldn't help but twist Meng Jin's neck.
Seeing his face becoming increasingly gloomy, Meng Jin coughed dryly and said, "General Shen, she's just an insignificant blind girl. Using her to exchange for the safety of the border town garrison is a good deal."
"Noisy!"
Shen Yu finally couldn't help himself and raised his hand to slap Meng Jin in the face.
Meng Jin was stunned for a moment, then became furious when he realized what was happening.
"General Shen, are you planning a rebellion?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Chen Yu acted like a veteran soldier. "You're not the emperor. Beating you up is considered rebellion? I said the Black Tiger Village bandits stole the Cangqi secret box, and they did."
"Even if His Majesty doesn't believe me, at most he will be suspicious of me. But as long as His Majesty doesn't want chaos in the court, he won't move the border city garrison."
After a pause, Shen Yu took a step forward and slapped him again, "But you! You dare to ask for my people. I slap you twice for the sake of His Majesty."
After finishing speaking, Shen Yu turned around and returned to the main force.
Shanshui said worriedly, "General, what if Minister Meng really goes back and slanders us?"
Shen Yu jumped on the horse and held the reins tightly, "You lead the army back to the border town, and I will lead people to chase Xiao Wan."
Upon hearing this, Shanshui stood in front of Shen Yu's horse in fear.
"General! If we go any further, we'll enter the territory of the Mobei people. You can't just go there. Otherwise, we can lead the army there."
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Meng Jin in the distance, "Do you really want to rebel?"
The mountains and rivers bow their heads and remain silent.
Chen Yu: "Don't worry, I speak the Mobei dialect, so I won't be discovered if I go in disguise. I must find her, even if I have to go deep into the heart of Mobei, I will find her alive or dead!"
He called Shanshui closer and whispered a few words in his ear.
Chen Yu: "Besides me, you are the only one who knows where the hidden things are. Take Meng Jin to find it, and then have someone escort him to the Imperial Capital."
"General..."
Shanshui couldn't stop him, and was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he had no choice but to watch Shen Yu leave.
As soon as he left, Meng Jin came over angrily.
Before he could speak, Shanmu immediately used his trump card, "The general asked me to take you to get the Cangqi secret box. Then I will send someone to escort you back to the capital."
"Minister Meng, this is a great achievement. The general gives this credit to you."
Use this to shut Meng Jin up.
Meng Jin was determined to climb up the ladder, so he would not miss this opportunity to show off his achievements.
So even though Shen Yu slapped him twice, he still had to hold back his anger!
Meng Jin said with a cold expression, "General Shen didn't complete the important task assigned by His Majesty himself, but asked me to do the hard work. We are officials in the same court, so I won't argue with him. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be so easy to deal with."
He is so ungrateful after getting the advantage.
The civil servants' mouths are as rude as if they had eaten dog shit. They are so shameless!
Shanshui felt more and more unwilling as he thought about it, and his eyes rolled.
"That's right, Minister Meng." Shanshui said nonchalantly, "Unlike my brother, who is willing to die for a blind girl. It's really a disgrace to us men."
"Blind girl?" Meng Jin was startled and pretended to ask casually, "Is your brother's crush a blind girl?"
"Oh, that's right." Shanshui looked up and sighed, "What good is there in a blind woman like this, and a concubine of another family? Now she's been kidnapped by the bandits from the Black Tiger Village and sold to the people of Mobei. How pitiful."
The more Meng Jin listened, the more nervous he became. In the end, he no longer concealed his emotions.
He grabbed Shanshui's arm and asked, "Is this true? Was the blind girl sold to the Mobei people?"
"Absolutely true." Shanshui replied.
Meng Jin's figure swayed and his face suddenly turned pale.
He didn't give up and asked, "What's the name of that blind girl? Do you know?"
Shanshui: "I know. I often hear my brother mention her. Her name seems to be... Xiaowan."
