    Two Hundred and Seventy Going Home (Part 2)

    Meng Ju climbed out of the bed lightly, put on his clothes secretly, and crept out - it was as if the person on the bed was not a beautiful woman, but a sleeping terrifying monster.

    Meng Ju walked out of the dormitory to the inner hall. In the hall, two young maids in palace attire were standing and waiting.  Seeing Meng Ju coming in, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted. They were waiting to say hello, but Meng Ju had already made a gesture to signal them to be quiet.

    Meng Ju walked over and asked in a low voice: "That woman lying on my bed, who is she?"

    Frightened by Meng Ju¡¯s serious tone, the two maids looked frightened.  They looked at each other and replied in a low voice: "Replying to your lord, she is Miss Xu Yanbing, the most popular singer in Wanxiang Tower"

    "The most popularsinger?"

    Seeing Meng Ju's strange expression, the maids knew what he was thinking: "My lord, Miss Xu used to be an entertainer but not a prostitute. You are the first guest she has ever had with her at night. Your lord, Miss Xu is our most popular person in Shuozhou."  She is a popular girl. Previously, the young master of the Yu family paid a thousand taels of silver, but Wanxianglou didn¡¯t even agree to comb it for him"

    "enough!"

    Seeing Meng Ju's unkind expression, the maids did not dare to say anything more. They knelt down and said "Blessings" and were about to leave, but Meng Ju stopped them again: "Wait a minute! Don't tell anyone else about this matter. Don't tell anyone."  Let outsiders know!¡±

    The two maids showed surprised expressions: The general was brought in to spend the night last night, and many people at the banquet knew about it.  Now they are asked to keep the secret, how is this possible?

    But because they were afraid of Meng Ju, they did not dare to argue. They knelt down again and said, "Yes, sir, I am determined not to tell anyone."

    The maids left, and Meng Ju sat alone in the hall in a daze.  The hangover reaction is still very severe, and the severe headache comes like a tide.

    Meng Jucai noticed the environment he was in: this was an elegantly decorated hall, with red wool blankets, red sandalwood Taishi chairs, and several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, including landscape paintings and fast cursive calligraphy with flying dragons and phoenixes.  On the screen in the middle of the hall, there were the words "gentle breeze and drizzle" written in regular script. Meng Ju stared at the screen for half a minute, his mind going blank.

    At this time, Meng Ju realized that he had just done a very stupid thing - since Sun Xiang arranged what happened last night, he must know about it, and many of his subordinates present must also know about it.  It was completely meaningless for me to tell these maids to keep it secret. It would only make me look stingy.

    Thinking of this, Meng Ju felt irritable, and a nameless fire was suffocating in his heart. He wanted to beat someone up, but even he couldn't explain the origin of the nameless fire - Sun Xiang found a man worth a thousand taels.  The beautiful woman from Yinzi stayed with him for the night, and the reception was very sincere, but Meng Ju always felt that he was in a mess and just felt unhappy.

    He shouted: "Who is outside? Come in!"

    Two personal guards came in from outside and bowed in salute: "What are your orders from the Governor?"

    Meng Jucai felt better when he saw someone he was familiar with.  He said solemnly: "Liu Nan, Zhang Jie, were you on duty last night?"

    "Reporting to the Governor, there are twelve brothers in our class on duty. The rest of the brothers have dispersed outside. The two of us are staying in the inner room, waiting for your orders from the Governor."

    "What is this place?"

    "Reporting to the governor, this is the Wanxiang Tower in Shuozhou."

    "Wanxiang Tower, Tianxiang Tower - Damn it, you guys who run brothels will die if you don't add the word "Ïã"?"

    "Governor, what did you say?"

    "It's nothing." Meng Ju wiped his face tiredly: "Then, why am I here in Wanxiang Tower?"

    The two guards had strange expressions on their faces - the governor is really interesting, Wanxiang Tower is a brothel, what are you doing here, do you even need to ask?  But they still answered honestly: "Governor, you drank too much at the reception banquet last night. Governor Sun asked us to help you up to rest."

    Meng Ju said "Hey".  After thinking for a while, he said slowly: "Next time something like this happens again, take me directly back to the official office to sleep - don't worry about what others say! This is an order, you remember it."

    Hearing Meng Ju¡¯s serious tone, the two guards were awe-inspiring, knowing that they had indeed done something wrong last night, and the governor was already very unhappy.  They immediately knelt down on the ground: "Please forgive me, my lord, I made my own decision last night. Because this is Shuozhou, we don't have an official office here, and I don't know how to arrange your lord's rest"

    Meng Ju said calmly: "There is no official office, so you should take me back to the military camp."

    "Yes! It's just that the villain didn't expect it at the time. Because Governor Sun is a landlord, he said so. The other governors Lu and Lan who were presentSupervisor Wang and Brigadier Wang also agreed. They all said that the governor has been working too hard this time and should really relax. I was confused for a moment and listened to their arrangement - I knew I was wrong and I shouldn't do what I did.  advocated.  "

    After talking on the phone, the anger in Meng Ju's heart dissipated a lot. He took a long breath and said, "Forget it, since Lu Liulou and others have said it, it's no wonder you are there - who is outside?"

    "Reporting to the Governor, they drank too late last night. All the generals have gone to rest and haven't gotten up yet. However, Governor Sun came over early in the morning and was waiting outside. The younger one wanted to inform him, but he refused and said  I'm afraid it will disturb the governor's rest. Do you need me to call him in?"

    "Sun Xiang has been waiting outside? This guygo and ask him, is there anything important?"

    The guard accepted the order and left. After a while, he came back and said: "Governor Sun said he had nothing important to do. He was just afraid that the governor had something to give him here and couldn't find anyone, so he waited outside.  Life."

    Meng Ju snorted: "Tell him, if nothing happens, don't stay here. The official affairs of the governor's office also need to be handled by someone. He is Shuozhou's parent officer, not my concierge, Meng. If anything happens, I will  Of course, we will send someone to find him! Also, go find Governor Lu and see if he is awake? If Governor Lu is awake, please ask him to come over to me and discuss something."

    The guards came out again in response to the order, while Meng Ju sat alone in the hall in a daze.  In a daze, he heard subtle footsteps in the bedroom behind him, the door curtain rang, and footsteps were walking towards him. Meng Ju immediately knew that it was the woman in his bedroom who came.  Hearing the footsteps, he felt nervous for no reason, and his whole body tensed up.

    A fragrant scent of body odor came over, and a slim woman in white clothes¡ªit would be more appropriate to say she was a girl¡ªwalked by and placed a pot of tea on the coffee table in front of Meng Ju.  Then, she poured a cup of tea for Meng Ju, bowed and handed it to Meng Ju with both hands.

    There is a rhythmic beauty in this girl's movements.

    "My lord drank too much last night, please have a cup of sobering tea."

    The girl curtsied lightly and said a blessing salute, then turned around and drifted away.

    Only then did Meng Ju relax - he was so nervous just now that he couldn't see the other person's face clearly. He only remembered that the other person was wearing white clothes, had a loose bun, and had a small, delicate face with oval seeds.  The eyebrows are very light and the voice is clear and gentle.

    "It's really worthless!" Meng Ju cursed secretly. He was not even afraid of thousands of troops, but he was just a girl. How could he be so nervous?  He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. As the warm tea entered his mouth, his irritable mood immediately eased, and the discomfort of the hangover seemed to be alleviated a lot.

    Lu Liulou came very quickly and arrived just as Meng Ju was drinking his third cup of tea.  Seeing Meng Ju, he smiled heartily and said, "Governor, I didn't expect you to be able to get up today! We all estimated that you would have to sleep at least until tonight."

    "I was really hurt by you guys. I seemed to have vomited last night I made a lot of mistakes, right?"

    "It's okay. After drinking, everyone was almost done. But you, the governor, were the first to fall Seeing you drink down, that bad boy was so happy that he said we can't compete with the governor in a war.  , but fortunately, drinking always wins the day. Haha!"

    Lu Liulou smiled heartily, and his laughter echoed in the hall.  Hearing Lu Liulou's voice, the girl came out of the dormitory again and served tea to Lu Liulou with lowered eyebrows.

    "My lord, please have some tea."

    Seeing this girl coming out of the dormitory, Lu Liulou did not dare to neglect her. He stood up and solemnly thanked her: "Thank you for your help, girl."

    The girl knelt down and said, "I don't dare. Sir, please use it slowly."

    She was full of blessings and stepped back with a gentle lotus step.

    When she left, Meng Ju kept looking at her graceful back with concern. It wasn't until she disappeared behind the curtain that he turned around, and happened to catch Lu Liulou's playful eyes.

    Meng Ju was immediately embarrassed, but it was hard for him to explain this kind of thing - should he explain that he had drunk too much last night and slept until he got up now, but he had done nothing?  Lu Liulou didn't say anything. Don't you have a guilty conscience?

    He coughed dryly: "Sixth floor, you have been the leader of the family for the past six months. Is there anything going on at home?"

    Lu Liulou was stunned for a moment, and his expression turned solemn: "Actually, when we met yesterday, the general wanted to report to you, the governor, but there were so many people at that time that it was inconvenient to say a lot of things.

    In the past six months, under the entrustment of the town governor, Mo Jiang, Inspector Lan and Xiao have been sitting at home. According to the policy left by the town governor before you left, civil and military officials at all levels have performed their duties. Generally speaking, the situation at home is good.  Peace and quiet, the political situation of Dongping, Chicheng and Wuchuan towns is stable, and the people's hearts are stable - butThe internal situation is not very good.  .  .  "

    Meng Ju¡¯s eyes flashed: ¡°Demons?¡±

    Lu Liulou nodded solemnly: "The governor is right as he expected, it's the demon clan!

    Since the border troops went south, the situation in northern Xinjiang has become increasingly tense, which may have given us a glimpse of the lack of troops in our six towns. In the past six months, the Turks, Rouran, Tuyuhun, Uighur, Shiwei, Montel and other demon clans have entered the country frequently.  They killed and plundered the border residents and massacred villages and towns. The cruelty they committed was outrageous.

    The three towns of Dongping, Wuchuan and Chicheng are better, because our Dongling Guard troops are stationed there. Every time the demons invade, we can quickly fight back and repel them.  But the two towns of Woye and Gaoyuan are in dire straits. They have no soldiers on guard and no ability to fight back. Every time the demons invade, the big cities and towns can only close themselves down to protect themselves, while the small towns can only let the demons burn and plunder them.  .  This year alone, in Gaoyuan, more than 20 cities have been breached by demons, and more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians have been plundered.  The fertile Beitian City was besieged by the Turks in July this year. Although the city was not breached, more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians suffered heavy casualties.

    Now, the local officials of Gaoyuan and Woye Town are in Jing'an. In the past, they were afraid that we would annex them, but now, they are crying and begging us to come over and take over.  In many towns, local officials have abandoned their posts and fled, residents have moved south in large numbers to seek refuge, and many border towns have been abandoned.  The last general saw the officers and soldiers who had escaped over there. Their morale and public sentiment had been extremely depressed, and they had no confidence.

    "If we don't take action, we will eventually estimate that Gaoyuan Town will not be able to survive this year, and we are afraid that it will be completely abandoned. The situation in Woye Town is not much better, and it is estimated that it can only last for half a year at most.

    Town Supervisor, it was of special significance for the imperial court to set up six towns in this beautiful place.  The six towns guard each other, cover each other, and take care of each other. If Gaoyuan and Woye are lost and become horse pasture for barbarians, then our two towns of Dongping and Wuchuan will lose their flank barriers, and our army will be unable to support itself.  The town governor must consider this.  "

    Meng Ju nodded. When Tuoba Xiong led the main force of the border army southward, he had already anticipated the current situation.  But what Meng Ju didn't expect was that the situation would deteriorate so quickly.

    "Well, on the sixth floor, you only mentioned Gaoyuan and Woye, what about Huaishuo?"

    Speaking of Huaishuo, Lu Liulou's expression looked very strange: "The situation in Huaishuo is better. Although the border troops have withdrawn, the local military force in Huaishuo is not weak, and can withstand several attacks from the Shiwei Hu tribe."  There were several harassments, and it is said that they also won a battle and beheaded more than 300 people"

    "Oh? The border troops have withdrawn, but Huaishuo still has such a strong force? Who is that?"

    "Speaking of which, we are also acquaintances. Governor, do you still remember the Black Wolf Gang that was against you back then?"

    Meng Ju raised his eyebrows: "Yu Wentai from the Black Wolf Gang?"

    "Haha, that's right. The governor really has a good memory!"

    Meng Ju smiled lightly and said, "I always have a better memory for those who want to kill me. Black Wolf Gang, how are they doing now?"

    "Since the withdrawal of the border troops, the Black Wolf Gang has not only not restrained, but has rapidly recruited troops and expanded. Now, on the Huaishuo side, they have replaced the local government and guarded one side. Yu Wentai now calls himself the Governor of Huaishuo and is in charge of everything.  Military and political affairs are like a town of warlords.¡±

    "You call yourself the Governor of Huaishuo? This guy is really - arrogant!"

    Lu Liulou also sighed: "In the past, whoever did such an arrogant thing would be seeking death. But now, the world is in chaos, and the court no longer cares about us in Northern Xinjiang, and no one cares about this lunatic Yu Wentai. However,  He is not completely crazy, and he also knows who he cannot afford to offend. In the past few months, he has frequently sent people to us, wanting to see you, the governor, to apologize for what happened in the past, and he gave us gold and silver gifts.  Quite a few. Because you, the governor, are not here, we dare not make any arbitrary decisions. We refuse to see people and refuse to accept gifts. Now, their envoys are still waiting at Jing'an.

    Therefore, it is up to you, the governor, to decide how to deal with the Black Wolf Gang and whether they are friends or enemies.  "

    Meng Ju pondered, but it was hard to make a decision for the moment.
