Chapter 453: Meng Jian (Third Shift)

PS: I found that everyone's appetite has been spoiled, and I plan to resume the sixth shift.

In the early morning, Chu Li was practicing in the small courtyard of the Miwei Mansion, when Xu Huande came in striding.

Chu Li took a glance and continued his actions.

Xu Huande sat down at the stone table: "Chu Li, you can leave the customs now!"

Chu Li said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm entering a good state, and I'm going to retreat for a while. It's much better here than in the palace. It's really quiet!"

Xu Huande said coldly: "Did you do those two secret guards?"

"What secret guard?" Chu Li was stunned, stopped moving, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, those two who sent news to the opponents of the Duke's Mansion? What happened to them?"

Xu Huande snorted heavily: "Martial arts have been abolished!"

"Just abolished martial arts?" Chu Li continued to move, shaking his head and sighing: "The eldest son is so kind, if it were me, I would kill him directly and find a place where no one is alive. What can I say!"

Xu Huande's eyes were like blades, staring at him, trying to see if what he said was true or not.

Chu Li said: "Commander Xu suspects it's me? I don't know who they are, how can they kill people if they stay here all day long?"

"Hmph!" Xu Huande gritted his teeth: "It's better not you, otherwise..."

Chu Li moved his palms slowly, and said slowly, "Since I'm allowed to go out, it must be quiet outside, what's the situation?"

Xu Huande said coldly: "It's definitely not a good thing for the Duke's mansion to be so flamboyant!"

Chu Li said: "The publicity of the Duke's mansion will arouse the emperor's jealousy! But if it is not publicized, the emperor will be afraid of it,...the two secret guards are okay?"

"I can't die!" Xu Huande snorted.

He was also very annoyed with these two guys, he was good at making opinions, mixed with personal grievances, and his selfishness was too heavy, so that it caused such a big disturbance, even if he didn't abolish his martial arts, he would not be able to get back to the Secret Guard Mansion.

Chu Li slowly retreated and let out a breath.

The exhaled white air shot out like an arrow and dissipated ten feet away.

Xu Huande frowned.

This guy's internal energy is extremely pure, and he is faintly superior to himself. It has only been fifteen days, and the speed of entering the country is far faster than his own. If this continues, he will soon be no match for him!

——

A young man with a face like a crown of jade appeared in front of Prince An's Mansion, he was imposing, standing there like a jade tree standing in the wind, he would naturally attract the eyes of the surroundings to him, with an elegant look.

When he came to Prince An's Mansion, the two guards looked at him vigilantly, feeling the danger from him.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for, my lord?" A guard clasped his fists and asked in a deep voice.

"I'm Meng Jian, Meng Zhi's brother." The handsome young man cupped his fists and said with a smile, "I don't know if my brother Meng Zhi is in the house?"

"Deputy Commander Meng?" The two guards were startled and looked at each other.

"Did something happen to my brother?" Meng Jian said slowly.

His face darkened, his voice was slow and powerful, and every word seemed to hit the hearts of the two guards.

They trembled and hurriedly waved their hands.

The guard in front of him hurriedly said: "Deputy Commander Meng left the mansion and hasn't come back yet."

"How long?" Meng Jian said in a low voice.

"More than a month."

"...I want to see the prince." Meng Jian said.

"Young Master Meng, we can't be the masters, we can only report first."

"Well, let's go."

A guard rushed into the palace.

Manager Chu came out quickly with strides, clasped his fists as soon as he left the mansion, and smiled: "Mr. Meng, please come inside! Please come inside!"

Meng Jian clasped his fists and smiled faintly.

Mr. Chu said, "You can just call me Laoxiu. I'm the head of the foreign government. Young Master Meng please come inside!"

"Boss Chu." Meng Jian nodded gently, and followed Boss Chu into the palace.

Walking on the road, Meng Jian asked: "It is said that my younger brother has not returned from the mansion for more than a month. I don't know what happened?"

"This..." Director Chu said helplessly: "I really don't know. Commander Meng is directly responsible to the prince. I have no right to intervene. The prince is in retreat. I don't know if the commander knows about this matter. I will ask Zheng Zheng immediately. Command!"

He took Meng Jian into the hall, ordered someone to greet Zheng Lide, and served good tea courteously.

Zheng Lide quickly entered the hall.

"Commander Zheng, this is Commander Meng's brother, Mr. Meng Jian." Manager Chu took the opportunity to leave after the introduction.

Zheng Lide said: "I've heard Commander Meng say that Mr. Meng Jian is a disciple of Ziyun Mountain, right?"

He secretly sighed that Meng Zhi had a good brother, a good-looking talent, imposing manner, definitely not someone in the pool.

"No, that's right." Meng Jian clasped his fists and said gently.

He is calm and calm, his voice is soothing and unhurried.

"Hey..., you have to mourn about Commander Meng." Zheng Lide shook his head and sighed: "There is no news about Commander Meng so far, probably something happened."

Meng Jian frowned and said, "My brother is dead?"

"You don't see people alive, you don't see dead bodies." Zheng Lide said, "It's really hard to explain the situation..."

He said shaking his head and sighing.

"What the hell is he going to do?" Meng Jian said, "I want to ask the prince face to face."

"My lord is in seclusion." Zheng Lide said: "Mr. Meng, you can wait a bit, and ask after your lord is out of seclusion."

"It seems that the lord doesn't care about my brother's life or death." Meng Jian said indifferently: "Have you not sent anyone to investigate?"

"The prince is naturally concerned about Commander Meng and ordered me to investigate." Zheng Lide shook his head and said: "There is no clue at all, it seems to have disappeared out of thin air!"

Meng Jian asked, "Does my younger brother have any enemies?"

Zheng Lide was startled, but stopped talking.

Meng Jian said calmly: "Commander Zheng and my younger brother were in the same room, could it be that he just watched the murderer at ease?"

"I haven't seen Commander Meng's body yet, so I can't say that he must be dead. Maybe he got an adventure and is in retreat." Zheng Lide said hastily.

Meng Jian shook his head: "My brother is indeed dead."

He had a keen sense, and after stepping into the palace, he could finally conclude that his younger brother was indeed dead, and his breath did not exist in this world.

"Ah..., what a pity!" Zheng Lide shook his head and said, "I get along very well with Lao Meng, how could he..., that's all, this is also the fate of us people in the martial arts world!"

Meng Jian said: "I want to see the prince."

"This..." Zheng Lide said in embarrassment: "My lord does not see outsiders in seclusion."

"I think the prince will meet me." Meng Jian said.

"Well, first ask Venerable Xu Ning." Zheng Lide said: "Young Master Meng, come with me."

The two came outside the practice courtyard.

Xu Ning was wearing a yellow monk's robe, was hanging down the curtain and closing his eyes, sitting quietly on the futon outside the training center, motionless and already in samadhi.

When the two appeared, he slowly opened his eyes, his calm eyes fell on Meng Jian's face, and he saluted together: "Benefactor Meng."

"From King Kong Temple?" Meng Jian asked.

Xu Ning said: "Xu Ning, little monk, Meng Shi wants to see the prince, please wait for an hour."

"...Okay." Meng Jian nodded slowly and said, "I didn't expect that the monk from the King Kong Temple would appear in the palace!"

Xu Ning smiled slightly, paid a tithe, and closed his eyes again.

Meng Jian snorted and stopped talking.

Zheng Lide hurriedly said goodbye and left.

The sun is slowly rising, shining warmly on the body, making people drowsy.
