Chapter 166 Meng En
Meng Chao only knew that Meng En's home was near the mansion, but he didn't expect that he was still separated by three alleys from the mansion. He couldn't help but feel sad for his third brother, who was half-brother of his father and he was.
When he was born, his biological mother died of difficult childbirth. Originally, his third brother died, but he didn't want to come back to life. However, he was treated like this. He became a child without father and mother. If he had been to himself, he might have gone crazy long ago.
Suddenly, Meng Chao wanted to meet his third brother.
When he arrived at a very simple door, Cao Zhuo knocked on the door politely.
Then a woman's voice came from it: "Who?"
"It's me." Cao Zhuo roared.
Everyone could only hear the sound of running from inside, and then the wooden door opened with a whisper.
I saw a young woman wearing an old cloth dress with a smile on her face, but when she saw so many people, she was a little surprised and said, "Master, you are here, why didn't you tell me earlier so that I can prepare some good dishes."
Cao Zhuo walked in and said carelessly: "No need, we came here to drink specifically today. Haha, is my good apprentice here?"
"He's out." The young woman replied.
Tiequan respectfully saluted the young woman: "Hello, sister-in-law."
"It's all my family, so there's no need to be polite..." Then the young woman was shocked when she saw the people around Tiequan, looking at Meng Chao and said, "You? Are you the fifth brother?"
Meng Chao was stunned. Yes, the fifth in the family is ranked, but is this? Is it the third brother's wife? Meng Chao said hesitantly: "Sister-in-law?"
"Oh, what should I do? You are here, your third brother is out with the child." Meng En's wife was a little anxious and at a loss.
Child? The third brother has given birth?
"Sister-in-law, I'll go and find my senior brother to come back." Tiequan volunteered.
"Just go, please help me entertain my fifth brother." After saying that, Meng En's wife ran out in a hurry.
Iron Fist didn't have time to stop him, but he looked at Meng Chao but said helplessly: "Please."
Tian Yinke, Duan Jian, Meng Chao and Meng Chao's followers all entered the yard. The yard was very spacious, with a stone table and five stone benches in the middle.
At this time, Cao Zhuo walked out of the house with a large jar of wine under his arm and a large jar in his hand, saying to several people: "You will keep it safe for you all your life after drinking it."
"Really or not?" Duan Jian went straight to meet him and helped Cao Zhuo get a jar of wine.
Tieqin took out six large bowls, placed them on the stone table, and poured out the wine.
The broken sword on one side was drooling, but frowned and said, "Hey, you didn't lie to me, aren't you? There's no smell at all? Is this water?"
"Hahaha, just try it and you will know if it's water or wine." Cao Zhuo laughed.
Tie Fist also smiled.
Meng Chao scanned the entire house, and was still growing vegetables on the garden. When he walked to the kitchen, he only saw vegetables, and he couldn't smell the smell of meat at all. The third brother's life was very hard.
But why is the third brother Cao Zhuo’s apprentice?
Duan Jian picked up the big bowl and took a sip. His eyes suddenly became wide open. Guru Guru drank a large bowl of wine directly, snatched the wine jar from the iron fist and poured a large bowl for himself, Guru Guru drank again, and then looked at Cao Zhuo pitifully.
Cao Zhuo smiled and said, "Is it water or wine?"
"Wine is really wine. Can you give me some?"
"Send it to you? Didn't I treat you to drink?" Cao Zhuo was a little puzzled.
Tian Yinke understood the meaning of the Broken Sword: "There is no remnant sword like you, right?"
Broken sword suddenly saw the appearance of his confidant and looked at Tian Yinke.
A long time later, a thin man walking through the door with a fat child in his arms, but his face was full of energy, and behind him was Meng En's wife.
Meng Chao stood up quickly and looked at the man in front of him. He had no impression of him anymore.
"Oh, it's really my fifth brother. When your sister-in-law told me just now, I didn't believe it." Meng En looked at Meng Chao and said, then looked at Cao Zhuo and nodded, "Master, uncle, junior brother."
"Haha, do you know me too?" Tian Yinke was a little surprised.
Meng En smiled and said, "Master often mentions you, Uncle Master, and sometimes you will show us your appearance. You will remember it after a long time." Then he said to the child, "Child, call us."
"Master, uncle." The fat boy was about three years old, holding Meng En tightly with both hands.
Cao Zhuo laughed: "Be good, come and give your master a hug."
On the stone table, Meng Chao didn't know what to say, then picked up a bowl of wine and said to Meng En, "Third Brother, drink."
Meng En smiled and shook his head: "I can't drink alcohol. You know, I've been weak and sick since I was a child, so I can't drink alcohol."
Meng Chao has never been as at a loss as he is today. He doesn't even know that a brother will become a child.
"What's the name of the child?" Meng Chao asked, looking at the child.
"Meng Yixin."
"That third brother, you?"
"Me? Oh..." Then Meng En closed the wooden door, turned around and looked at Meng Chao and said, "Let me introduce it, my master Cao Zhuo, Tiequan is my second junior brother."
Meng Chao was a little stunned. He found that he didn't understand the third brother at all. This third brother was completely different from what he remembered: "It is said that there are four of Lord Cao's apprentices among the six major guards. Who are you?"
"And I, theirs is the eldest brother, silent."
Meng Chao's follower opened his eyes and said, "The head of the six guards silent?" He could not believe that the man in front of him was actually the head of the six guards of the eldest prince. The six guards were actually not six people, but seven people. The person in charge of the six guards was a mysterious man named Wushen. As for this news, it was only circulated among the heads of several families, such as Ning, Meng, Yan, Zhang and other powerful ministers. However, Meng Chao knew that these things were heard from his elder brother Meng Yun, and Meng Yun had to instruct that he would be clear about it in his heart after hearing this matter. It must not be spread outside, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.
Meng Chao knew that there must be some reason for the eldest prince to do this, or he wanted to use this silence as a trump card, so he had a clear idea of this matter and would not tell anyone about it. He even had the most confidant follower mentioned it.
"Does my father know this?" Meng Chao asked suddenly.
Meng En shook his head and laughed: "How could my father remember that he has me as a son?"
After three rounds of drinking, everyone dispersed, and Meng En did not keep Meng Chao, after all, the place was too small.
But Duan Jian took a wine gourd and told Tian Yinke that he wanted to borrow money. It doesn’t matter if Duan Jian doesn’t have money, but the three women he saved can never go back to the capital, so they need money.
For this, Tian Yinke took out 100 gold and handed it to the Broken Sword. After all, the NPC circulates silver, while the players circulates gold and copper. Ten thousand copper is the same as one gold. If you exchange it, you have to go to the money house. Originally, one gold is worth ten taels of silver, but the money house has to charge a handling fee, which is only 1 to eight. One gold can only be exchanged for eight taels of silver. In this way, the player's money was swallowed by the system a little.
"Wow, I don't plan to pay it back so much." Duan Jian said.
Tian Yinke shook his head: "Looking at your appearance, I don't plan to let you return it."
Tian Yinke and Cao Zhuo and Iron Fist left together, but Meng Chao caught up with Broken Sword.
But Meng Chao and the others chased after him but disappeared. Meng Chao couldn't help but sigh and said to the squad: "Major General, let's go back. His martial arts skills are so high, how can we catch up with him?"
"What are you asking for me?" Duan Jian held the wine gourd and looked unsatisfied. He wanted to drink it in his heart, but he had to leave it to the Killing Dao, but... the wine was good, but it didn't smell.
While drinking, Meng Chao knew that Duan Jian was a straightforward person, so he didn't beat around the bush with Duan Jian and directly explained his purpose: "I don't have a guard who is as good as you, who is as good as yours."
"You want to invite me?" Duan Jian looked at Meng Chao and said that he could drink wine if he had a job. If he was a guard for Meng Chao, he could come to Cao Zhuo to drink wine from time to time.
Meng Chao said seriously: "It's not just you, I want to invite even the broken knife together."
"No, you only have a salary of 100 taels per month, and you still want to invite me and the Kandao." Although you are poor, the broken sword still has a price.
Meng Chao was not displeased, but smiled and said, "Although I don't have much money now, I dare to guarantee that your descendants will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."
Duan Jian didn't say anything, looked at Meng Chao carefully, and nodded for a long time: "I'll go back and discuss with Jian Dao." He then used his light skills to leave.
"A good snob." Meng Chao's follower said after seeing Duan Jian leave.
"Xiao Liang, he is not snobbish, but he has to consider it. After all, the Candida and the Dao have never appeared together to work for the same person. Except for Wang Xunfu, you should know why. Moreover, the Dao Jian used to serve as a guard for Yan Yanting. Now that Yan Yanting is dead, do you know what to prove?"
"Major General, I know this without saying it. Candao adopted many children, so Candao and Duanjian cannot both leave. One must be left to take care of the child. As for Yan Yanting's death, Duanjian may be standing by and watching, and have a good character." Meng Chao's follower was Meng Liang, the son of the Meng Mansion housekeeper who was discounted by Lin Shihao in the capital that year, and was sold to both hands.
"That's right, what I like is not only their martial arts, but also their character. Only such a person will not betray me and I can do what I want to do." Meng Chao's face was full of concentration, as if he was thinking about something.
On the way back to the inn, Tian Yinke asked, "Brother, you seem to value Meng Chao very much."
"Of course, Meng Chao is a talent that can be obtained. I dare to assert that after Zhang Yuesong's generation of generals passed by, he will be Meng Chao's world." Cao Zhuo sighed.
Tian Yinke was stunned and stopped: "Brother, you have a high evaluation."
"It should be, do you know what Meng Chao did when he participated in the commander of the Qinglong Guard? Although he didn't know anything, he could escape my disciple's eyes when he did it."
“Which?”
