Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Brother-in-law (3)

　　The Duke's Mansion occupies a large area, but the courtyard and furnishings inside are simple and simple, similar to the residences of second- and third-rank officials in Beijing. This is the place where Sang Yu grew up. She lived here when she was a little girl. Maybe she once enjoyed the scenery by the lotus pond, maybe she cooled under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, maybe she once walked on this trail... Emperor Wu of Zhou and Meng Yanzhou walked side by side, the expressions on their faces were incredibly soft.

　　After bypassing the Chaoshou Corridor, a small building suddenly appeared on the opposite side. The small building was ancient and majestic, completely natural, different from the simplicity of other buildings in the mansion. It was surrounded by clusters of flowers and trees of various seasons, and the plum blossoms inside were in full bloom. Sheng, red and white are really lively, adding a lot of warmth to this bleak and cold winter.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu's eyes dimmed, and he unconsciously took two steps towards the small building, and asked in a hoarse voice, "That's..." The flowers and trees in the courtyard almost submerged the small building. They were planted in various seasons, and each season was a new one. Scenery, you can smell the fragrant fragrance of plants every season, which is undoubtedly the style of Sangyu.

　　"Ah, you can't go there, that's where my sister lived before she entered the palace." Meng Yanzhou quickly stopped Emperor Zhou Wu.

　　"Sorry, I think that courtyard is very beautiful, very different from other places in the house, so..." Emperor Zhou Wu smiled and took back his steps with difficulty.

　　"My sister loves Yihua Nong Cao the most. She planted every plant and tree herself. It is naturally beautiful." Meng Yanzhou was full of pride when talking about his sister.

　　How could he not know that Sang Yu loved to take care of flowers and plants? She takes care of all the potted plants and flower arrangements in Bixiao Palace herself, and they are unique in both style and taste. Emperor Zhou Wu followed Meng Yanzhou towards his courtyard with a smile on his face, but his vacant eyes betrayed his absent-mindedness.

　　Yan Junwei laughed secretly, walked quickly to Meng Yanzhou, and seemed to be chatting casually, but actually led Meng Yanzhou to change the subject to his sister. After hearing about Sang Yu, Emperor Wu of Zhou regained his wandering mind.

　　"Brother? Why are you back!?"

　　As he was about to turn into Meng Yanzhou's courtyard, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy appeared at the end of the path. When he saw Meng Yanzhou, the expression on his face was very surprised. Although it passed briefly, the hatred and disappointment in his eyes were still captured by Emperor Zhou Wu and Yan Junwei.

　　Thinking of Meng Yanzhou's impulsive character and that he sneaked out today, Emperor Zhou Wu's eyes darkened, and he immediately understood the key to this. Everything is for the title of the Duke of Guo.

　　Meng Yanzhou was not aware of the young man's sinister intentions at all. He frowned and said in confusion, "This is my yard, can't I come back?"

　　"You seem to be disappointed that your eldest brother is back? Is it because he didn't run away from home and go to the border to die?" Emperor Wu of Zhou spoke slowly, with a very cold and faint smile on his face, and his sharp eyes were like a knife, which could cut people. Creates the illusion of pain.

　　The young man's face turned pale for a moment, and then he shouted with a stern expression, "What nonsense are you talking about! Who are you to dare to slander me like this?"

　　"Are you talking nonsense? You know it in your heart. I can't stand you bastards the most. You always dream of things that shouldn't belong to you." Yan Junwei stepped forward, fanning himself, with a look of contempt and disgust on his face.

　　Everyone in the capital knew that Qi Donglei was deprived of the title of heir apparent by his concubine. When the young man saw Qi Donglei speaking, pointing directly at the most secret desires in his heart, the expression on his face turned green and white, which was very beautiful. He also saw the lake across the way. The man in blue clothes looked gloomy, and the clarity in his eyes made him almost unable to stand.

　　"No wonder I was able to escape from the house so easily today. It turned out that you and Aunt Wen helped me!" Meng Yanzhou finally reacted belatedly, with a frightening look on his face.

　　"I don't know what you are talking about. I have to prepare for next year's spring, so I'll say goodbye." The young man finished speaking quickly, turned around and ran away. Meng Yanzhou is a bastard, but he doesn't believe in the saying that a gentleman should talk but never take action. If he offends him, he might get injured all over.

　　"Damn it! I hate these scholars the most. They pretend to be sanctimonious on the surface, but in fact they are full of evil!" Meng Yanzhou clenched his fists loudly and said viciously.

　　"That's right!" Yan Junwei put away his folding fan and agreed with a smile. He likes to get along with people like Meng Yanzhou who are straightforward and effortless.

　　"Go in." Emperor Zhou Wu put his hands behind his hands and walked into the courtyard. He said calmly as he walked, "This title must be yours and will not fall to anyone else. You just need to be more vigilant in the future and use your brain more when encountering problems. Don't Your life is being calculated against."

　　"Alas!" Meng Yanzhou agreed and followed Emperor Wu of Zhou step by step with a somewhat surprised tone. "You speak well, and your tone of voice is just like my sister! My sister has warned me like this before!" Because of this, he His favorability towards Han Hai has increased a lot.

　　"Oh? Really?" Emperor Zhou Wu stopped suddenly and looked at Meng Yanzhou with burning eyes. Seeing Meng Yanzhou nodding, he suddenly smiled. This smile is very hearty, completely different from the slightly majestic and indifferent smile before. It only takes one glance to tell that he is in a very happy mood at the moment.

　　But I just said something similar by chance, why should I be so happy? Is it because you have found the feeling of being a woman and your husband? Yan Junwei's forehead was covered with black lines. He never knew that the emperor was so easy to please.

　　Seeing Han Hai's smile, Meng Yanzhou also laughed stupidly. This person obviously looks very gentle when he is not smiling or smiling, but he just feels very stressed and does not dare to be presumptuous. But this person's expression now is very real and relaxed, and the sense of distance disappears instantly.

　　"Actually, I did have the idea of ​​going to the border after I slipped out of the house, but I gave up later." Meng Yanzhou scratched his head and spoke sheepishly.

　　"Oh? Why have you figured it out again?" Emperor Zhou Wu raised his eyebrows.

　　"My sister once said that if I encounter something trivial that makes me angry, let me walk around the yard three times and calm down. If something big happens that will cause the world to collapse, let me walk around the imperial city three times and think about it. I While walking around the imperial city, I saw the Forbidden Palace in the distance and thought of my sister in the Forbidden Palace, so I came back." Meng Yanzhou's voice was very depressed.

　　"You have a good sister! Of course, you are also a good brother." Emperor Zhou Wu was silent for a long time, patting Meng Yanzhou on the shoulder and sighed.

　　Yan Junwei glanced sideways, with a hint of envy in his eyes towards Meng Yanzhou. It would be great if he also had a relative who could always help him and make plans for him.

　　The three of them walked into Meng Yanzhou's courtyard and were shocked by the vast and flat battlefield and the rows of weapon racks. As expected, he was the son of Duke Meng, who was very enthusiastic about dancing with swords and guns.

　　"What is this for?" Emperor Wu of Zhou pointed to a huge millstone beside the battlefield.

　　Yan Junwei looked at the various weapons with gleaming eyes, walked to the millstone, stretched out his hand to lift the millstone, and it didn't move at all.

　　"This is for training arm strength. Those iron balls and copper hammers are too light." Meng Yanzhou came over, rolled up his sleeves, clasped the millstone with both hands, lifted it up with a grit of his teeth, and raised it over his shoulders.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu and Yan Junwei were stunned at the same time. After Meng Yanzhou put down the millstone, Emperor Zhou Wu said with interest, "It turns out that Yanzhou is born with divine power."

　　Yan Junwei glanced at the young man's muscular arms, his eyes filled with admiration.

　　"Yes, my sister said that I am extremely talented." Meng Yanzhou raised his chin with a very proud expression, then his face darkened again, and he sighed, "But she also said that I have strong limbs and a simple mind. It’s brain, my brain is full of muscles, I can’t lead troops in war, I can only charge into battle and serve as cannon fodder.”

　　All you think about is muscles? Only Sang Yu's quirky temperament could think of such hurtful words. Emperor Zhou Wu lowered his eyes, with a deep smile in his eyes.

　　Yan Junwei had already laughed rudely. Concubine De is also a wonderful person! This is so true!

　　"Hey, why are you laughing? My sister is right. I always use my brain to do things. I almost got into trouble today. Last time, I was provoked into making a move with Shen Xiyan after only a few words. His little body is fragile. It's like a hemp pole. I just touched it and my head was bleeding. If I had known he would be like this, I should have crushed him to death with one hand!" Meng Yanzhou looked ferocious and punched the wooden stake beside him. On the ground, a wooden stake held by one person broke into two pieces with a snap.

　　"Shouldn't you regret that you shouldn't have offended him in the first place? You must be able to bear the anger for a while and not become enemies with the Shen family." Yan Junwei chuckled. This kid has a fierce streak, and he likes it!

　　"I can bear anything, but I can't bear anger. If you have a grudge, you must take revenge, otherwise you will have to hold it in until you die!" Meng Yanzhou's face turned red, as if he was really hurt.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled lightly and Chun Chun taught, "A gentleman takes revenge every ten years. Temporary dormancy is just a strategy. If you are stronger than your opponent, you should defeat him immediately so that there is no possibility for him to stand up; if you If you are evenly matched or weaker than your opponent, you should learn to be patient, and then try to find his weakness and wait for the opportunity. There are many ways to take revenge, and you don't have to use fists. If you want to support the Meng family, you must learn strategies and detours.”

　　"You're right! I won't be so impulsive again in the future." Meng Yanzhou nodded in an educated manner.

　　"Your father must have a lot of military books. You should read more of them on weekdays." Emperor Wu of Zhou patted his shoulder and said seriously. Meng Yanzhou is actually not stupid, he just doesn't like to think deeply when things happen. This may be related to Meng Guo's deliberate teaching when he was fair. If trained well, Meng Yanzhou will definitely become a fierce general. However, his current temperament is also good. He is ruthless, courageous, and never turns back. However, his nature is simple and bold, and he values ​​love and justice. He is the type he loves to use most. people.

　　Seeing that Meng Yanzhou only agreed to the promise, with eyes full of conviction, Emperor Wu of Zhou pondered for a moment and then spoke, "I heard that the imperial court is going to establish a new yamen, and they are in need of talents with strong martial arts skills and courage like you. It is better than going to the army to gain experience. You Do you want to try it?"

　　Ah! Now you can take care of your brother-in-law! Abusing power for personal gain is this! Yan Junwei's forehead twitched. However, he also fell in love with Meng Yanzhou, and he was trying to make a deal just now. He originally wanted to win over the other man and show off to the Concubine Virtue, but in the end he failed to win over his real brother-in-law.

　　"What yamen?" Meng Yanzhou's eyes lit up.

　　"Similar to the yamen of the Dragon Guard and the Royal Forest Army, the authority is superior to the two. But now it is being planned. I will ask Junwei to inform you when there is definite news." Emperor Wu of Zhou walked to the edge of the battlefield and threw him a ball. Holding a big sword, he said in a deep voice, "Practice your sword skills once and let me see how capable you are."

　　These words carry the unique coercion of a superior, making people have no choice but to obey. Meng Yanzhou took the knife, suppressed the thought of asking the other party's identity, and walked to the battlefield to practice. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and has extremely high talent. With his supernatural power, he can make a hunting sound with a sword weighing more than a hundred kilograms. It is really exciting.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou narrowed his eyes and watched, thinking secretly in his heart: If something happens to Duke Meng, I will train Meng Yanzhou, and in three to five years, he will be able to support the Meng family. Sang Yu should also feel relieved.
