Chapter 235 Testing each other

The king of the Meng clan noticed that Xue Qingyin's eyes were not on him.

"What's wrong?" he asked, turning his head to look.

For the Mon people, the faces of Yizhou officials are not so easy to distinguish. Unless the personal characteristics are particularly obvious. For example, whether he has a beard, whether he is tall, short, fat, or thin, and what kind of patterns are embroidered on the official uniform he wears.

If two bearded men were standing in front of each other, equally tall and equally fat, it would be really difficult to tell them apart.

Therefore, the king of the Meng clan took a quick look and didn't see anything special at first.

But the dazzling thing is that He Songning is good-looking enough.

The Mon people can't tell who is who, but can they still tell who is ugly and who is good-looking?

"Are you looking at him?" the Mon king asked.

"No." Xue Qingyin turned her head and denied.

The expression of the king of the Meng clan changed very subtly, and he whispered: "How could you make such a mistake?"

Xue Qingyin: "What?"

The King of the Meng Clan stared at her intently: "I didn't say who it was, why did you rush to deny it?"

Xue Qingyin paused for an extremely brief moment before smiling: "Among the few people standing there, only one was young and good-looking. If you asked me, who else could you ask if you didn't ask him? Would you care about me staring at an old man? How long do you want to watch?”

After Xue Qingyin finished speaking, she shook her head and said, "I'm still thinking, is it possible that if I look at other people more often, the king will feel unhappy?"

The king of the Meng clan fell silent for a moment.

What she said didn't sound strange.

The king of the Meng clan immediately summoned someone to come forward, pointed at He Songning and asked, "What's that person's name?"

"My name is Ding Xu." The minister who replied paused and said hurriedly: "But there is something different about this person?"

"With such an appearance, how come he has such an ordinary name?" The king of the Meng clan said while looking at Xue Qingyin's expression without any trace.

Xue Qingyin pursed her lips and looked at the slave woman packing her bags not far away.

"This..." The minister who replied was stunned. He didn't understand why he was confused about whether someone's name was common or not.

But the answer must be answered.

The minister said: "Xu means the sun, so it may be a rare name."

"What's his origin?"

"The younger brother of Yizhou Sibing is a scholar and his family is in Beijing."

"People from the capital? Why are you here?"

"He said that he offended a big shot and had no choice but to flee here to join his brothers."

"Why bring him?"

"It was the soldier who cried and shouted that his mother loved this little brother the most. If he died in Yizhou City, I might not be able to explain to his mother..."

The king of the Meng clan laughed: "What big shot did you offend? Could it be that you deceived some noble lady of the Liang Dynasty with the help of your skin?"

The minister could not answer.

The king of the Meng clan did not ask any more questions and waved him away.

The minister responded and retreated.

But the Mon king suddenly said again: "Wait a minute."

The minister turned around in fear and bent down.

The king of the Meng clan said: "Call him over. Since he is from the capital, I will ask him if he is familiar with the layout of the towers in the capital..."

The minister's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Exactly, exactly, I almost forgot that this person can have such a wonderful effect..."

After saying that, he flattered him a few times and then turned around to call someone.

Xue Qingyin then turned her head: "If you want to know what's going on in Beijing, why don't you ask me?"

The king of the Meng clan said: "If you refuse to tell me, what can I do to you? He is different. If he doesn't explain fully enough... I will tear apart his bones and peel off his skin, and it will be just a casual matter." "

Xue Qingyin gritted her teeth and finally squeezed out only one word: "Oh."

"Is it because I miss your husband that I don't talk much today? I feel so uncomfortable when I think that others are already in Yizhou and you are in Zicheng?" the king of the Meng clan asked with a smile.

Xue Qingyin rolled her eyes: "Did you forget? I said, I am willing to marry you. Why do I feel uncomfortable?"

The king of the Meng clan smiled and said: "I really wish so."

Xue Qingyin pouted and said, "I'm tired, let's take a rest."

The king of the Meng clan hurriedly said: "Don't you wait for that Ding Xu to come over and talk?"

Xue Qingyin turned back and glared at him: "Why should I wait for him? I don't know him."

The king of the Meng clan said helplessly: "I saw you looking at him intently, and you thought it was because he was young and handsome..."

When the word "young" came up, the Mon king gritted his teeth and sounded a little more serious.

Xue Qingyin interrupted unhappily: "So what? If I really marry you, can you still let me have a few more male favorites?"

The Mon king said: "It's not impossible to be like him."

Xue Qingyin: "...?"

The king of the Meng clan paused: "Like King Xuan, there is no need."

Xue Qingyin pouted. Oh, my husband is too powerful. Are you afraid that he will blow your head off with his backhand?

Xue Qingyin said no more and left immediately with Qiao Xinyu.

After she left, the Meng clan king's expression darkened.

She is very smart, and she hides it well, but...she doesn't even bother to make many expressions on weekdays, and always appears to have a bland expression and a lazy posture.

Today, he was laughing and cursing, with all sorts of expressions on his face.

It makes the eyebrows more beautiful.

There are also more abnormalities.

At this time, He Songning was brought to the king of the Meng clan.

The king of the Meng clan glanced at him and felt that this man had an unusual aura. But when I tried to catch it again, it was completely gone.

The king of the Meng clan had a ridiculous guess in his heart...

It couldn't be that King Xuan took advantage of the chaos and sneaked in, right?

"King." He Songning bowed his head and bowed to him, then raised his head and smiled: "I heard that you have something to ask me?"

The king of the Meng clan suppressed his thoughts and asked aloud: "Can you draw?"

He Songning said: "I wonder what kind of picture it is?"

The Mon king said: "That's it. I want you to draw a map of the capital's defenses."

A dark light quickly flashed across He Songning's eyes, and he said, "Yes."

He Songning acted quickly and presented the picture to the king of the Meng clan early the next morning.

The gesture of someone who is eager to be appreciated by the Mon people is vividly performed.

The king of the Meng clan got the picture and handed it to Dou Ruyun: "You used to be an errand in the capital. Do you think his painting is correct?"

He Songning pursed his lips, but he didn't expect that the king of the Meng clan was not a fool.

Dou Ruyun lowered his head and glanced roughly, unable to figure out what the Meng clan king meant.

But thinking about Xue Qingyin's instructions early in the morning, she must continue to treat herself as a subordinate of the King of the Meng clan before she completely broke up with him. The king of the Meng clan will do whatever he orders, without any deception.

Otherwise, the Mon will soon suspect whether they have switched their allegiance to someone else.

After a while, Dou Ruyun raised his head and said truthfully: "There are three things that are wrong in the painting."

He said pointing them out in turn.

The king of the Meng clan sneered: "Dare you deceive me? Go and get his brothers."

He Songning looked panicked and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I have absolutely no deception... He, what kind of bad job did he do in the capital? Maybe he deceived you?"

Dou Ruyun said coldly: "I used to be the leader of the Xiaowei. What I said is not trustworthy. How can you trust the words of a playboy like you?"

He Songning scolded: "You are talking nonsense! I have seen the leader of Xiaowei, but I don't look like you..."

Dou Ruyun frowned: "It was me a few years ago, what? What's wrong?"

He Songning sneered: "Oh, no wonder you are wrong. You must have been away from Beijing for many years. How do you know what kind of changes there are in Beijing?"

Dou Ruyun was silent.

The king of the Meng clan pondered for a moment and said, "It makes sense."

He Songning pointed at the drawing and said, "There is no flaw in this drawing."

The king of the Meng clan asked: "Aren't you afraid that the Liang Dynasty will pursue you after you confessed like this?"

He Songning said angrily: "I can't survive in Beijing anymore. If I work for you, what kind of official position can you give us in the future?"

The king of the Meng clan said: "Of course he is a high official." He paused and said: "You have done a good job in drawing. I will give you a banquet tonight and allow you to come and go. If you think of anything that happened in the capital again, you can come and report it." I."

He Songning showed excitement again, thanked him and left.

The king of the Meng clan sat there and thought for a while.

Then he ordered: "The banquet will be held in the Bailu Courtyard, and the food at the banquet will be served in Liang Dynasty style."

Bailuyuan is the yard where Xue Qingyin currently rests.

Dou Ruyun frowned secretly beside him.

There must be something going on here... What does the Mon king want to do?

On the other side, Qiao Xinyu was also worried about Xue Qingyin: "That Ding Xu... looks like Mr. Xue?"

Xue Qingyin: "Ah, that's him."

Qiao Xinyu couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Then why aren't you worried at all? He must have come to save you too..."

Xue Qingyin waved her hand: "No."

Qiao Xinyu was stunned for a moment.

Could it be that these two brothers and sisters of the Xue family still have any irreconcilable conflicts?
