Chapter 169: What you see, hear, feel

Li Meng was in a state of excitement here, and Eunuch Liu on the other side also looked at Li Meng a little distracted, but he thought Li Meng was a little tired. He stopped talking and said with a smile:

"As old, you talk more, and you are tired after a day of hard work. It's better to have a rest earlier."

Li Meng stood up awkwardly and replied with a dry smile:

"Thinking about something else, I'm distracted. My nephew is really rude, but I have something to worry about. I heard that the marquis in Nanjing today is the marquis in Nanjing. I don't know if it will cause any obstacles to my uncle. If there is any obstacle, it would be better to go back to Shandong earlier."

Eunuch Liu was very energetic. When he heard Li Meng’s words, he couldn’t help laughing, put down the wine glass in his hand and pointed at Li Meng and said:

"You are now a military officer, and you are so arrogant. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to speak with such a straightforward manner?"

I don’t know whether the three words “rhythmia” are real praises or words that harm others. Li Meng is indeed worried. It is of course good to have such a strong help at present. But we cannot do anything to Eunuch Liu because of his own reasons, that is, harming others and oneself. People always have to have long-term plans.

"It's okay, it's okay. You've been told when you came back today that the Feng family of Weiyuan Marquis is nothing. It's good that his son can have the title of an earl. Outsiders flatter him and call him a little marquis, but he himself takes it seriously and is domineering in Nanjing."

When he said this, Li Meng was also a little moved. The first time he met the person in the head was in despair by the Jining River, but now he looks full of momentum and his life is really impermanent. And he was just an escort with a cart a few years ago, but now he is a military officer from the Ming Dynasty, with thousands of soldiers under his command, and now he is having a private banquet with a person at the top of the Ming Dynasty.

"Don't worry, Weiyuanhou must worry whether our family will cause trouble for him. If you are a coordinated guard, it is not rare for a person like Nanjing City."

After a few more gossips, the old eunuch was a little tired. After all, he was old. Li Meng quickly stood up and said goodbye, and the banquet ended. Liu Qian came over and took Li Meng to rest.

When asked on the way, Li Meng was considering the time. Sure enough, Eunuch Liu left the capital and went to Nanjing. The trip was settled on the road. With the impact of several major events on the transmission of information, after thinking about it, Eunuch Liu's letter to Li Meng should have arrived just a few days after departure. He was in a hurry and Di Baotangbao did not pay attention to it.

This was a coincidence. Li Meng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. How much trouble has he caused to him by missing each other!

Li Meng went to the military camp once. The officers and soldiers guarding the imperial city were near the Nanjing imperial city, not far from the mansion where the eunuchs were guarding him. Naturally, Liu Qian would not stop him, but instead took someone with Li Meng to accompany him.

Less than a stick of incense after walking out of the house, he arrived near the military camp. Before he could reach the door, he could hear noisy sounds. Li Meng was very surprised. Not to mention the strict discipline of modern soldiers after turning off the lights, in the Ming Dynasty, because the soldiers' mental state was extremely poor, they were all on the critical line. In order to prevent things like whistling in the camp, the punishment for night noises was extremely strict, and there was almost only one punishment, that is, beheading.

But the atmosphere in the military camp was obviously different. It was indeed not too late to calculate the sky, but it could not be such a downtown atmosphere. Li Meng asked Liu Qian beside him in surprise:

"This barracks are so noisy, is it that they are always so chaotic?"

Liu Qian was also stunned, but he answered quickly:

"Young Master, of course this military camp is not like this on weekdays."

Li Meng nodded, thinking that there are still some rules in places like the military camp, how could it be so dissatisfied? However, Liu Qian said again:

"The weather has gradually become colder recently. When the master first came to Nanjing to take office, the military camp was a hundred times more noisy than this time..."

After hearing this, Li Meng was speechless. After walking a few more steps, he saw a man dressed in a long robe walking into the military camp drunk. This time he did not ask, but turned to look at Liu Qian. First, the distance was close. Liu Qian knew some details and said with a smile:

"There are mostly children of second- and third-rate noble families in Nanjing. They all have money at home and have nothing to do at night, so they go to Chaoku Street to hang out."

Nanjing City is the second most important town in the Ming Dynasty. The soldiers in the city must be the most elite in the world. When they were in Meilou during the day, the soldiers surrounding the house were considered to be a display of various types of soldiers in Nanjing City. There are the yamen runners who carried out public security in Shuntian Prefecture and the Bingmaster, as well as the soldiers and horses that were always in Nanjing City. Of course, there are also the Nanjing City Imperial Guards not far away.

The feeling at that time was that the soldiers in Nanjing City, compared to the soldiers in Shandong and Henan, looked at least as strong as soldiers, with complete armor and weapons, and the soldiers were not the kind of beggars and refugees with a slut. It was indeed one of the most elite troops in the Ming Dynasty. And there was another point, that is, the guards guarding eunuchs looked much more powerful than other soldiers, and they also had the temperament that military personnel had.

However, the people I saw tonight allowed Li Meng to see what the so-called elite army of the Ming Dynasty looked like.

These troops have already rotted in the roots. Perhaps some military and generals, such as the Feng family of Weiyuan Hou, does have several powerful characters today, but this is only a few of them.

It's more like this in front of you. You're happy at night and come back here drunk. Some people may even stay in the brothel Chuguan. What kind of combat effectiveness can such an army have? But what's even more sad is that people who see these phenomena already feel commonplace, such as Liu Qian standing beside him.

Liu Qian was not surprised or embarrassed. He might not have any fuss about what he saw, but just led the way respectfully.

There was only one soldier at the gate of the military camp, leaning against the gate. Liu Qian and Li Meng approached, and he ignored him. When he saw that it was Liu Qian, the soldier on duty at the gate immediately stood attentively, but Li Meng also noticed that there seemed to be a wine pot at the foot of the soldier.

Since Li Meng is a relative of the guardian, his soldiers are also treated well, such as being placed in a barracks close to the front camp gate.

When the guards saw Liu Qian coming, they drank some wine, but they were still sober enough to tell the generals and officials in the camp that Li Meng and the others had just entered the camp. One of the generals and schools he had seen during the day, a Qian general rushed over and greeted him respectfully.

Although Liu Qian was polite to Li Meng, he was quite majestic when facing these officers in the imperial guards and said:

"There is still a diligent person in this camp tonight. Why don't you go out..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Qian first laughed a little, then he muttered in a low voice with a hint of resentment on his face:

"I took the money book tonight and said I wanted to have a drink together. As a result, people were left in the camp to be on duty. Everyone threw dice, and the officials were the worst luck, so they had to stay here!"

After saying that, he was scratching his head and giggling. His words were just complaining, and the other hand, they also meant to make everyone laugh. Sure enough, Liu Qian was so funny that he laughed loudly by this Qian, and Li Meng also laughed, but he felt a lot in his heart, and he really had no mood to laugh.

Not long after walking, I arrived at the barracks where the 200 guards under Li Meng were resting. Li Meng walked in the military camp of the imperial guards and could hear laughter everywhere, saying that the lights were bright and exaggerated, but they were much brighter than those in the alleys of the houses, and occasionally they could hear gambling and drinking.

But in front of the camp where Li Meng was stationed, there was a completely different scene. Not to mention the darkness except for the light at the door, it was completely quiet.

Only two solemn soldiers holding weapons stood guard at the front entrance. When they walked here, although there was noise in the military camp, the feeling was completely different. The Qian and Liu Qian, who had been joking, kept silent unconsciously, and were a little embarrassed.

After walking a few steps forward, I found that there was a person standing in the darkness nearby. In the military camp, Li Meng felt that there would be no dangerous factors, and although the man stood in the darkness, he had no hidden meaning.

Li Meng's touching was quiet, Liu Qian and the President Qian pointed at the person in the dark. The President Qian was not afraid of it. He walked straight towards the person. After getting closer, he reached out and patted the other person on the shoulder, smiled and said:

"Old Huang, those people will look for you for a long time tonight. Who would have thought you would come here to hide? What are you doing?"

It was Huang Ping, the Qianhu who was the first to lead the man to Weimeilou during the day. When he looked back, he saw Li Meng and Liu Qian standing under the lights, greeting his colleagues. Huang Ping quickly ran to them and said hello respectfully.

The light of the lanterns hanging nearby was still enough. Li Meng could see that Huang Ping's face was a little solemn. Since entering the military camp, no matter whether he was a general or a soldier, he looked happy and harmonious, and was full of a happy life. Huang Ping was an alien.

Speaking of which, Huang Ping of Qianhu is actually five or six years older than Li Meng. He has a shallow beard and a concise look on his face. However, Li Meng is used to looking at others with his mentality after adding two lifetimes of age and memory. He feels strange about the solemnity on the other person's face.

Before he could ask, he heard Huang Ping standing beside him and spoke first. Huang Qianhu pointed to the back of a hill on the right, but asked first:
