Chapter 227 The heavy rain is coming.

The sky is still misty and bright, but it has not yet become bright, showing an indigo blue color.

Outside the gate of the capital, a group of people wearing military uniforms and light armor rode horses from a distance, their eyes full of fatigue and dust.

When they reached the gate of the city, the leader stopped his horse with a cry, raised his hand to signal the people behind him to stop, and then looked at the people guarding the city wall with eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"Open the city gate. We, the Meng family army, have been ordered to send Duke Meng back to his home."

As soon as these words came out, the general guarding the city was stunned. After a moment, he said: "Generals will not be allowed to enter the capital without an edict. If Duke Meng wants to enter the capital, please come." Step forward and speak."

The leader straightened his shoulders and back after hearing this, and then drove his horse to the side to make way, and saw five coffins being escorted in the middle of the team. The general who

defended the city had a dull look on his face when he saw this, "This is..."

The leader choked and said in a deep voice: "Meng Guogong, Major General Meng, General Right, Meng Shenjun and Meng Shenling, in the battle of Helan He has died for his country."

The general was shocked when he heard this, and then shook his hands to signal to the soldiers below, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Open the city gate quickly and send Duke Meng back to his home."

After that, the scarlet city gate was slowly opened.

A group of people rode towards the city at a fast pace.

...

Su Mingjue got up when Su Xiaoliu woke up. After washing up, he stood in front of the bronze mirror nearby.

While letting Su Xiaoliu change his clothes, he yawned and said, "I told you not to wake me up so early. I can still sleep for a while."

Su Xiaoliu arranged the young master's Confucian shirt and responded. : "Master, the earlier you get up, the better you can eat."

"Just bring me minced meat pancakes in the morning. I'll eat them in the carriage as well."

"Yes, I vomited while eating, and then I stopped eating. " Eat again."

Su Mingjue touched his nose when he heard this, and it was not his fault.

The carriage was bumpy while running, and when he ate the minced meat pie, his stomach felt like it was in over his head. He felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, and naturally he never wanted to eat it again.

"Then you can change it to something else. It's better to get more sleep."

"Then there are only cakes and snacks. Master, you find it too dry to swallow, so you'd better eat at home. Look at how rich the breakfast is. It's so comfortable."

Su Mingjue looked at the table and saw that the breakfast was indeed varied, including porridge, cakes, and eggs.

He knew that Su Xiaoliu was treating him well, so he didn't continue talking and sat on the table and ate quietly.

After dinner, I got on the carriage and drove to Luming Academy with squinted eyes.

When he reached Dadong Street, he encountered a group of carriages and horses, and Mu Li stepped aside to give way.

Su Mingjue squinted and couldn't sleep, so he looked around. He suddenly woke up when he saw several coffins being carried in the car.

Then he looked at the leader's flag and was stunned for a moment.

He asked Su Xiaoliu on the side: "Did I read it correctly just now? The word Meng is written on that flag!"

Su Xiaoliu nodded, "It is indeed the word Meng! This army of troops and horses is of the highest quality. Xiaoliu has never been there before. I've seen it in the capital!"

Mu Li looked at the retreating figure and said thoughtfully: "This doesn't look like the army near the capital. Although the soldiers are wearing armor, they can't hide their fatigue. They look like they are running all the way. From the capital."

Coming from the outside, under the banner of the Meng family, there is probably only one army in the entire Daxing Dynasty, but there is only a small team in front of them.

Before Su Mingjue had time to say anything, the person next to him outside the carriage covered his tears and said, "It was Duke Meng who died for his country!"

"All the men in the Meng family, except for the second son Meng, have died in the battlefield!"

Su Mingjue was shocked when he heard this, and he raised his voice. "What did you say? Who was that person who just passed by?"

"It's Meng Guogong, Meng Wenguang!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, Su Mingjue opened the car curtain and shouted to Mu Li, "Turn around and go to the Meng Mansion!"

Su Xiaoliu Knowing that my young master and Mr. Meng are having a good time, he must go to visit Meng's house for such a big event.

But this lesson...

Su Xiaoliu whispered: "How about I get out of the car first and take a leave of absence for the young master."

Su Mingjue said nothing, staring blankly out of the window. The Meng Mansion is like this, Meng Helan How to deal with it.

Taking it as acquiescence, Su Xiaoliu got off the carriage and walked towards Luming Academy.

Su Mingjue, driven by Mu Li, went to the Meng Mansion.

As soon as the carriage stopped, people knelt on the ground in front of the Meng Mansion.

Mrs. Meng stood in front of the mansion, listening to the speeches of the coffin bearers. Meng Helan was also standing on the side wearing a white Confucian shirt.

"My subordinates are incompetent and failed to protect Duke Meng!"

The vast coffins were placed in front of the Meng Mansion and occupied a lot of space. Su Mingjue could only stop at a distance. The distance was a bit far and it was difficult to see Meng Helan's specific expression clearly.

But his back was still straight, showing no sign of embarrassment.

Mrs. Meng stepped forward to help the leader who was kneeling and said in a strong and powerful tone, "I don't blame you, it is his fate that Duke Meng is like this today."

The general stood up and lowered his head, "No, it is our fault. If the general If you can arrive in time, you will definitely be able to save the Duke."

Mrs. Meng looked at the black coffin in front of her and said calmly: "Everyone has traveled all the way from Helan Mountain to the capital. You must be exhausted. Helan, take the general and others. Brothers, go down and rest."

Meng Helan nodded after hearing this, stepped forward and lifted up his clothes and knelt down on one knee, "Meng Jiaerlang thanked the general for carrying the coffin."

When the leader saw Meng Helan kneeling, he quickly helped him up: "Absolutely not. The second young master's kneel down has offended me. We just did something that the prince often does. It's nothing."

As he said that, he looked at Meng Helan from beginning to end for a moment, his eyes filled with tears. Nodding with tears in his eyes, "I have long heard from the Major General that the Second Young Master is charming and charming. It is true when I see him today."

Meng Helan forced a smile and said, "Brother, you are ridiculous. Helan can't compare to my brother in killing the enemy bravely."

The leader took the opportunity to touch the enemy. Touching Meng Helan's arm, he saw that it was strong and strong, so he knew he was a practitioner. He shook his head and said, "Second Young Master, you are humble. If you need a word from the general in the future, just ask."

Meng Helan didn't say anything after hearing this. He stretched out his hand and said to The general nodded, and then looked at the soldiers: "Everyone, please come in."

After saying that, he walked into the mansion elegantly in white clothes with his back straight and a calm expression on his face.

As if what just happened was no big deal to him.

After Mrs. Meng saw a group of people leaving, she staggered forward with her legs and saw that she was about to fall. The maid next to her came to help her. She shook her head and supported the crutches with both hands. She walked to the coffin with the crutches. Go.

He touched each coffin, then took a deep breath and ordered the boy on the side, "Carry them all to the hall."

Su Mingjue stood there, unable to believe how the young master chasing the wind was feeling at this moment . pain.

He waited for the old lady to return to the house, then walked towards Meng's house.
