Liu Lan followed the scribe to the living room, and the scribe went in to report and invited Liu Lan in.

Entering the house, there was a burly man in his forties sitting at the top, no need to think that it must be Meng Yi, he was wearing a crown, his forehead was more bulging than ordinary people, Liu Lan didn't understand the face, if the heavenly court was full of this meaning, then this person really had a good face, but Meng Yi was the same as the old foxes of this era, he smiled before speaking, but he just smiled, showing a row of white teeth, whether it was an old fox or not, just such a smile has made Liu Lan classify it into it.

When Liu Lan secretly looked at him, Meng Yi was also observing this young man who was praised by the world as Xiao Weiqing, but when Liu Lan saw the salute and said: "Lu Long ordered Liu Lan to meet General Meng Zhonglang." For a moment, Meng Yi's eyebrows showed a touch of coldness, but it was only for a moment, and then he smiled again, and said, "You are Liu Lan?" ”

"Yes, General Meng Zhonglang."

Meng Yi stared at him carefully, his rough face became cold again, his tiger eyes closed slightly, but his fists were clenched, as if he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart, after hearing Liu Lan's reply, he breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly opened his eyes, and returned to his original appearance, as if he had completely suppressed his resentment, looked at Liu Lan again with a calm mind, stroked the goat's beard and said with a smile: "Eagle eyes and a bright head, a heroic rhino head, well, it is really good as the rumors." ”

"Zhonglang praised it."

"No, not at all." Meng Yihan said with a smile: "I'm not a false praise, I'll tell you the truth, we have dealt with each other before, do you believe it?" Although Meng Yi said it plainly, how could Liu Lan not feel the thick coldness before? Even if he said it easily at the moment, the fist clenched loudly. It had already made Liu Lan smell a little bit of danger, but Liu Lan had never dealt with Meng Yi, let alone offended him, he was so hostile to himself. And for what? Liu Lan had to be cautious, and said carefully: "How is it possible? Liu Lan tried to remember. Is it that 'Liu Lan' has ever offended this person, but even if he wants to break his head, let alone can't remember, even if he hasn't intersected, how can he offend such a high-ranking and powerful man? In a deep voice, he said: "Liu Lan is a small soldier in the border county, although he is Lu Longling, how can he have intersected with General Meng Zhonglang." ”

Meng Yi saw that Liu Lan was thinking hard and meditating, but he didn't come up with a reason. couldn't help but smile and reminded: "The most wonderful thing in this world is this, a year ago, a certain subordinate general Fan Min went to Youzhou Jixian County to reorganize the county soldiers, but he didn't want to reorganize it, not to mention, and the news that Fan Bi was injured and martyred by the thief came out, do you think I am a partial general and a soldier?" ”

Liu Lan suddenly fell into a panic, although it was said that Fan Bi would be injured and martyred by the thief, and this matter was suppressed by Wen Shu and Liu Yuanqi's activity connections, but when Meng Yi mentioned it, it was not a test but that he had already understood the truth, and said coldly: "It turns out that Fan Min is a partial general under your account." ”

"How?"

Liu Lan was furious. The eyes were round, but in fact, it was more of a weak heart: "He was killed by me, and one person does things alone." Since Meng Zhonglang has mentioned the old things, he has recognized it below, how to deal with it, listen to it. Liu Lan's words are good, but Meng Yi is very wrong if he really believes that Liu Lan is the kind of person who sits and waits to be killed, he is just trying to let Meng Yi relax his vigilance and come up with a way to escape, but now that he is alone in the mound, how can he escape. I knew it earlier...... As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. I said why is Tu Yin so guarded, it turned out that Meng Yi used his power for personal gain to separate himself from the army in order to avenge his partial general. Figured this out. Liu Lan was already ready to go, if Meng Yizhen set up a Hongmen banquet and ambushed the sword and axe man, he would come forward to kidnap him and leave the mound before he gave the order. I don't know if Meng Yi really didn't notice Liu Lan's reaction or did it deliberately, and he laughed when he heard the words, but then he sighed and said, "Regret and regret." It seems that he saw through Liu Lan's thoughts but didn't point it out, in fact, if Meng Yi really wants to deal with him, he can really hold Meng Yi hostage? Shaking his head slightly, he said: "This matter has passed, although I hated you at that time, this little ruffian, but inside and outside the court, not only the Taiwei Mansion came forward to protect you, but even the General's Mansion and all Zhongjuan came forward, so many people protected you, the general could only cry out in vain, and now, Karasuma invaded Youzhou, the imperial court appointed me as the Zhonglang general, and Liu Zhoumu put you under a certain account, and turned such a big circle, I have become your top boss now, why are you still so fierce, what are you doing with such big eyes?" Are you still thinking about holding me hostage and escaping from the earth? At the end, Meng Yi burst out laughing.

Liu Lan was shocked, the Taiwei is the head of the three dukes, all the affairs of the Han Kingdom, whether it is the emperor or the people, whether it is civil or military, it can be managed, and the general is the administrative body in charge of the country's military affairs, to put it bluntly, the two huge institutions have some overlapping functions in some aspects, although the weight of the Taiwei Mansion is far less than the General's Mansion in terms of military affairs, but it can be protected by the Taiwei Mansion, you can imagine how hard this relationship is.

And at this time, the Great General's Mansion, which has been arguing with the Taiwei Mansion, will naturally fall into the ground, and in the same way, the eunuchs in Zhongjuan, who are not at the same time as the Great General's Mansion, will naturally choose the opposite, but even Liu Lan didn't expect that the three most powerful families in the Han Dynasty would come forward to protect him at the same time, how could this make him not surprised, he once heard Jian Yong Liu Yin talk about Liu Yuanqi's relationship, and he estimated that the highest was the Taiwei Mansion, but who is the Great General's Mansion and Zhongjuan of this foreign relative?

Could it be Wen Shu, but as far as Wen Shu is concerned, his temperament will never be in the same stream as the eunuch Zhongjuan, that is to say, he dragged the relationship to the General's Mansion? Thinking about it like this, his mind became active, if it was to avoid Liu Yuanqi from coming to the Taiwei Mansion to intercede, the General's Mansion came forward to dismantle the stage, so it was not impossible for Wen Shucai to ask the General's Mansion again, but what was this Zhongjuan for? I don't seem to have any relationship with them.

Liu Lan suddenly felt a cold and murderous look, a spirit in his heart, the danger in front of him has not been overcome, even if he figured out this, what is the use, he couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows, weighing the pros and cons in his heart, since Meng Yi had already seen that he was going to hold him hostage, did he still have a countermeasure already if he was so calm? His eyes kept rolling, he was thinking about whether he should give it a bold try now, and what was the probability of successfully holding Meng Yi hostage? But it's a pity that no matter what aspect he considers, the hope is very slim, and he has to calm down and respond to all changes without change, maybe this is the best countermeasure for Fang Jin.

At this moment, Meng Yi smiled, his tone softened, and he said slowly: "Okay, I don't just know you about the rumors that I have heard of Shizi Wufu, I still have some understanding of you, since Guanghe has made many achievements in the past six years, but it is ......" Zhonglang slammed Meng Yi suddenly, leaving a large blank afterglow for Liu Lan to figure out by himself, he believed that Liu Lan was a smart person and would understand what he meant, so he continued: "I guess, you are letting your own temperament go on like this, It's hard to get a chance to be promoted again in your life. In fact, there is another sentence he didn't say, that is, no matter how extensive your relationship is, it will be difficult to have a chance to be promoted again in your life. This sentence can never be said, and many things are well known.

Liu Lan was stunned, is this a reminder to himself? If Liu Lan would have thanked him before the killing of prisoners, but not now, especially for the fly camp dog Gou Liu Lan didn't say anything on his face but understood in his heart, his face was expressionless, and he said: "Deran is a soldier for the country, not for being an official." ”

Meng Yi looked stunned, but he quickly figured it out, thinking that this kind of young man with a lot of talent was not very proud? He laughed unscrupulously, but his expression became more and more strict, and he nodded and said: "Deran, this is to be said, and it must be said so, but have you ever thought that if you are not an official, how can you contribute to the imperial court?" ”

This is the second time Liu Lan has heard such words, and the first time is the history of the assassination of Youzhou.

Meng Yi looked at him, word by word, and said: "You are a county order, how can you say it, you are humble and light-hearted, you want to serve the imperial court, but can the imperial court use you?" ”

The corner of Meng Yi's mouth showed a smile that he thought was kind, stood up, and said while walking towards Liu Lan: "Don't say that you don't want to be an official, why don't you go to the battlefield to work hard, how can you change from a military job to a civilian job?" You came to Lulongse, isn't it because this place is close to the border, there are Karasuma and Xianbei, can you better plan for a bright future? ”

Liu Lan was dumbfounded and silent, but what he wanted to know more was what this Meng Yi wanted to express?

Meng Yi smiled and said: "You are lucky, you serve in front of our army, and you will have a chance to be promoted at any time." Of course, we're kind of supporting each other, supporting each other. What Meng Yi cares about is the power behind Liu Lan, it's not that he didn't inquire, but the more he can't inquire, the more frightened he feels, and the more he wants to make friends with Liu Lan, now such a great opportunity, will he miss it?

Liu Lan suppressed his anger, but now he can only say something wrong for the sword, and said: "Meng Zhonglang is in an important position, it is the honor of the last general to serve in front of your army, and I have a reputation for each other, and I hope you will be promoted more in the future!" ”

Still sloppy with me? Meng Yi smiled, but he snorted coldly in his heart, and sighed and said: "Alas, my position is nothing compared to when I was by the side of General Che Cai (Zhang Wen) before, and now if you want to be promoted, you can't rely on me, you have to rely on yourself." ”

"This is natural, Meng Zhonglang can rest assured that although the last general will only lead troops to fight, but this time against the three counties Karasuma, the last general will guarantee that there will never be any sloppiness, and he will live up to Meng Zhonglang's love and support."
