Excalibur laughs

At noon, in the Palace of the Lord of Qingshi City, Meng Zhang, Old Man Meng and Xiao Qianyu were sitting in the lobby, chatting leisurely, as if there was no crisis in the city.

Meng Zhang took a sip of tea and said, "The rich businessman and the troublemaker have already been controlled by the hidden guards. If the people behind them want to kill people, they can only do it to the remaining person."

Xiao Qianyu was a little worried and asked, "Can those people we sent out protect him well?"

Meng Zhang sneered and said, "It doesn't matter whether he can save his life or not. I don't care about his life or death. All I need is for the people behind the scenes to show up so that I can negotiate with them."

Xiao Qianyu looked puzzled and asked, "Negotiation? With whom?"

Meng Zhang said: "If things get serious, it won't end well, and it will be troublesome for both the political department and the military department. If you pursue it deeply, more people will be involved. I believe the political department is not willing to see this kind of situation. , the best way is to make big things into small things.”

Xiao Qianyu was not convinced: "They made such a big mess, so let's just forget it?"

Meng Zhang smiled slightly, and said: "Young City Master, please be safe and don't be impatient. I have my own idea, and I promise that people in the Ministry of Political Affairs will never dare to use this kind of method to provoke troubles in the future."

As soon as Yun Yun and Ling Chu arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, they heard a sharp voice from the sky. They raised their heads and saw about a dozen falcon-like birds hovering over the City Lord's Mansion in mid-air.

Ling Chu frowned and said, "The Whistle Eagle of the Dark Guard Camp."

Yun Yun asked, "What is a Whistle Eagle?"

Ling Chu explained: "Some missions of the Dark Guard Battalion cannot be delivered by letters or people, so we trained whistle eagles to help tip off the news."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Meng Zhang and Xiao Qianyu coming out of the city lord's mansion on horseback.

Yun Yun stepped forward and asked, "General, are you going out?"

Meng Zhang nodded with a smile and said, "I need to take care of some important matters in the dark guard camp. Are Yun Huwei and Miss Ling having a good time?"

Yun Yun smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

Xiao Qianyu said displeased: "Practice more when you have nothing to do, and learn more about the secret book that the old city lord gave you. Don't disappoint the old city lord's good intentions."

Yunyun hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, Yunyun remembered."

Seeing this, Meng Zhang and Xiao Qianyu hurried to the dark guard camp.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the dark guard camp, and several masked dark guards immediately came out to welcome Meng Zhang and Xiao Qianyu's horses, while several other people led them into the mansion.

Inside, a man who looked like a leader was about to salute Meng Zhang, but Meng Zhang found a seat and sat down, waved his hands and said, "The courtesy will be waived, how is the matter?"

The man hurriedly said: "The man who was protected by the general yesterday was silenced two hours ago."

Meng Zhang frowned slightly and asked, "Have the people I sent to protect him been found?"

The man shook his head and said: "They were afraid of scaring the snake, so they didn't come forward to stop them. They just followed the murderer secretly, hoping to follow the clues and find the person behind the scenes. Once they found their whereabouts, they immediately reported them with the whistle."

Meng Zhang nodded and said, "Since everyone is dead, you should send someone to collect the corpses and bury them properly. Don't neglect them."

Hearing this, the man immediately left the hall, leaving only Meng Zhang and Xiao Qianyu.

Seeing Xiao Qianyu's unnatural expression, Meng Zhang guessed what he was thinking, and asked, "Young City Master, are you concerned about that person's death?"

Xiao Qianyu said sadly: "Although the general did this to track down the mastermind behind the scenes, we could have saved his life. Now that he is dead like this, I feel a little sad, as if we have also become accomplices."

Meng Zhang sighed and said, "In the court, there are always some things that cannot be controlled. You have been in the Spirit Race for many years, and you worked in the military department early. I thought you were used to this."

Xiao Qianyu was about to explain, but Meng Zhang stopped him: "Actually, after all, you are still a daughter, and you are still young. The old city lord should not entrust you with these beatings and killings. I also know that working in the military department It's not your original intention, but to fulfill the wish of the old city lord, you have to accept various tasks assigned to you by the military department."

Seeing that Xiao Qianyu was silent, he smiled bitterly and said, "You know what? Actually, when Lingchu appeared last night, I knew that Yunyun could no longer protect Ah Yue, and I thought about letting Yunyun do things by my side. Madame persuaded me, saying that Yun Yun is kind-hearted, honest and timid, and that his hands should not be covered with blood, so I just let it go."

Meng Zhang paused and sighed: "I was only eight years old when my sister came to the throne. Since then, I have started doing things I don't want to do. More than 20 years have passed, and I don't know how many people have stuck to my hands. Human blood, you are still young, you still have the opportunity to choose, you don’t have to listen to the words of the old city lord.”

Xiao Qianyu smiled miserably, suppressed her sadness, and said, "Father is only my daughter, and I don't want to go against his will."

At this time, a hidden guard suddenly ran in quickly, and said respectfully: "General, the hidden guard has discovered the hiding place of the thief, and I ask the general to make a decision."

Meng Zhang restrained his mind and said coldly: "Order the dark guard camp to rush there quickly, and don't let anyone go."

He looked at Xiao Qianyu, walked over and patted her on the shoulder lightly, and said, "Let's go, since the fox's tail is exposed, we should also close the net."

Xiao Qianyu nodded and followed Meng Zhang to the outside of the mansion.

The Dark Guard Battalion has assembled dozens of dark guards, all of whom are waiting for Meng Zhang to issue orders.

Meng Zhang and Xiao Qianyu rode horses and led dozens of hidden guards to the thief's den.

Soon, everyone arrived in front of a deserted house on the outskirts of the city, and several secret guards immediately stepped forward and said to Meng Zhang, "General, the thieves are all besieged inside, and there is no way to escape even with wings."

Meng Zhang looked up at the sky, and then said to Xiao Qianyu: "Young City Master, you don't have to go in, and stay outside to prevent any fish from slipping through the net."

Xiao Qianyu smiled gratefully at Meng Zhang and said, "Okay, I will never let one go."

Meng Zhang took off his saber, walked to the gate of the mansion first, slashed open the gate with force, and walked in as if there was no one else around.

Several hidden guards behind him hurriedly stopped Meng Zhang and said, "General, beware of an ambush, let us accompany you in."

Meng Zhang turned a deaf ear, went straight to the door of the inner hall, and said in a loud voice, "Young Master Lin, Mr. Meng came to visit in person, shouldn't it be time for you to come out to meet the guests?"

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly several figures rushed out from the inner hall, surrounding Meng Zhang.

Meng Zhang snorted disdainfully, and said with a sneer: "It seems that Mr. Lin doesn't welcome Meng Zhang anymore, so Meng Zhang can only force his way in."
