Chapter 22
When Meng Hengyouyou woke up, it was already three days later.
His mind was a little chaotic, and the sharp pain that remained in his body seemed to be like a rising tide, faintly arousing that crazy bloodthirsty desire.
Meng Heng closed his eyes and clenched his fists quietly.
After half a moment like this, the feeling slowly faded away, gradually disappearing.
He opened his eyes and surveyed his surroundings.
The simple and elegantly decorated bedroom looks like a noble family.
He quickly speculated about various possibilities in his mind, and then his eyes rested on the clean and tidy new clothes on his body, as well as the well-treated wound.
The memory of the last moment before he fainted due to lack of energy is still stuck in the confrontation with the banshee. The 003s all escaped. At the same time, in the end, he still insisted on hypnotizing the banshee to drive her away, and then she fell unconscious.
Meng Heng lifted the quilt that was half covered on his body, and got out of bed to look around.
He doesn't think that he was simply picked up by a kind-hearted person for medical treatment. It is a great fortune that this kind of thing happened once. What's more, this "good-hearted person" who has not met is obviously not like Wang Shixiao and his wife back then. Simple rural farmers.
Sure enough, as soon as he got out of bed and walked around, he saw a few maids guarding the door immediately coming to stop him, calling "Doctor Meng", and the guards outside the door heard the noise, and immediately retreated as if they were going to call someone .
It seems that this "good-hearted man" not only recognizes himself, but also "values" himself quite a lot.
Meng Heng raised his eyebrows and smiled disdainfully.
As far as he could see, there were more than a dozen guards with knives scattered around the courtyard. This kind of scene was not so much a matter of attention as monitoring.
Meng Heng closed the door behind his back and walked back to the bedroom.
He really wanted to see what kind of a "good-hearted man" was so inspiring.
A few thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and then slowly narrowed his eyes.

It was an afternoon two days later when Xiao Yu saw the boy.
In mid-autumn, the light sunlight streamed down from among the green bamboo leaves, covering the young man's body, and that particularly handsome young man was leaning on a wicker chair under the bamboo grove, with his head half down, concentrating on fiddling with something. .
At that time, a little halo shone on the young man's neck, making that section of skin as white as jade, dazzling people's eyes.
Xiao Yu's eyes froze for a moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and the expression in his eyes changed a few times.
He strode over and said with a smile, "Doctor Meng, long time no see."
Meng Heng raised his eyes and squinted at him, a flash of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and then he became clear again. After looking at him a few times in the future, he said: "I don't know who it is, it turned out to be you."
His lips were slightly raised, and he raised a playful smile, and his slightly pale face seemed to be shining like water under the bright moon, which made people unable to move their eyes away.
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Could it be that Doctor Meng already guessed that I brought Doctor Meng back to the mansion?"
"Well, let's make a little guess." The young man lowered his head again, carefully inspecting a newly made bamboo flute, and said in a calm and authentic tone.
Immediately, he seemed to find something wrong with the bamboo flute, picked up the short sword at the side, pointed the blade at the tail of the bamboo flute, sharply slashed it off, and then polished it carefully to carve the flute even more fine.
And the back smiled with satisfaction, and then raised his face slightly to the young man and said, "It's just that the moment before I saw Your Excellency, I just regarded Your Excellency as the last possible option. After all, I didn't expect that , His Royal Highness the prince of the current dynasty treats Meng a commoner so favorably."
Speaking of this, the smile on the corner of the young man's mouth became sly, and he seemed to mean something: "Then now, do I need to kowtow to His Highness to thank you? Or should I be like a horse knot and grass ring?"
Although the young man said so, his tone was as indifferent as ever, neither a trace of sincere gratitude nor the slightest disrespect could be seen, only a few smiles of unknown meaning were mixed in it.
Xiao Yu's expression changed for a moment, and a different look was brewing in those eyes looking at the young man.
"It turns out that Doctor Meng already knew Xiao's identity." The young man said in a deep voice.
The young man glanced at him lightly, and smiled inadvertently: "Your Excellency's demeanor, speech and behavior, thoughts in his heart, and expression in his eyes have already exposed this point."
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and remained silent, but his heart became deep in thought.
Over the past few days, he sent people to investigate the young man, but the result was both what he expected and what he didn't expect.
The boy began to come into contact with officials and wealthy families since he rented a farmhouse on the outskirts of the capital two months ago. After moving into a house in the western suburbs a month and a half ago, this tendency became more obvious.A total of 62 officials of all sizes have come and gone here, and there are as many as forty officials above the sixth rank.
Being able to make friends with so many court officials in just two months, I am afraid that the ruling and opposition parties will not be able to find a second such person.
This cannot help but make people doubt the boy's intentions.
But this is also beyond his expectations.Although the dark guards found out that the young man had contacts with these officials, that was all he could do. There was no further evidence that could prove that the young man manipulated these officials, captured their minds, or used demonic methods to confuse people. Find out.
On the contrary, not only did the officials who had been in contact with the young man not show any abnormality, they were also clean and innocent in government affairs, and there was no such thing as corruption, corruption, or forming a party for personal gain.It is even said that the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture, who had a close relationship with the young man, has made outstanding achievements in his political performance in the past month.
Xiao Yu looked at the young man with an increasingly unclear expression.
But the young man smiled and said: "What? What have you found out from Meng in the past few days?"
Xiao Yu's expression turned serious, and he asked, "How does Doctor Meng know that I'm investigating you?"
Hearing this, the young man raised his eyebrows, and said: "Meng has nothing special in his life, but only sees things and understands people's hearts. If someone deliberately follows me or investigates me, they will definitely not escape my eyes."
"Besides, your Excellency has shown inexplicable persistence and interest in Meng's little tricks twice and three times, and you have taken so much trouble to save Meng's life this time, and sent so many people to arrest Meng, ah no, it is to protect Meng. With a certain thoughtfulness, it is not difficult to guess what your Excellency is doing behind your back."
When Meng Heng said this, there was a faint look of contempt flowing in those black jade-like pupils, but it made that picturesque face more and more imbued with an irresistible beauty.
Xiao Yu took a fixed look at the young man, then smiled brightly, and said, "Doctor Meng really has a clear mind. It seems that in front of Doctor Meng, you really can't lie about it."
After finishing speaking, there was a pause for a while, with a smile on his face, he said in a deep voice, "It's just that I have sent people to investigate Dr. Meng, but they still found nothing. Dr. Meng... has too many puzzles. "
"Oh?" Meng Heng snorted lightly, with those smiling eyes sweeping across the young man's face, as if he was judging whether the words were ulterior motives or if they came from the heart. After a long while, he looked away lightly, and said with a chuckle, "It's not that there is something puzzling about Meng, but that you put all your guesses on Meng, and you want to make it obvious. , but was obscured by the mist."
"If you want to make it clear, you are blocked by the mist..." The young man was taken aback when he heard the words, frowned slightly, and repeated these two sentences in a murmur. In the eyes that are as clear as lake water.
Those eyes are so clear at this time, so clear that it seems to be able to see his own reflection.However, he seems to have seen another look of these eyes, which is a dark and deep abyss that seems to be bottomless.
Which one is the true appearance of the boy...or are both of them the true appearance of the boy?
Xiao Yu's expression flickered, and he recited the boy's last prophecy-like words in his heart again, and immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled brightly: "It seems that Xiao has thought too much, Dr. Meng's witty words and high-mindedness really make people cry. The endowment of North Korea, Chinese and Wu competing to visit."
After laughing, he said seriously: "Since I was blocked by the mist for no reason, can Dr. Meng remove these obstacles for me? It can also make me let go of all kinds of tedious thoughts."
As the young man said, he looked straight at the young man with his eyes, and the deep doubts in his eyes were actually let go, and were instead replaced by frankness and sincerity that can be seen at a glance.
Meng Heng glanced at him for a while, and finally smiled indifferently, and said: "If Meng can clear up these doubts for Your Excellency, then why not?" The finished bamboo flute is full of carelessness in his eyebrows and eyes.
The reason why he had the patience to stay here for two more days was not because he was stopped by those guards with knives and couldn't get out. As long as he wanted to, let alone dozens of guards in this courtyard, he would not have the slightest fear meaning.
Staying here is nothing more than wanting to see the true face of this "kind-hearted life-saving man". This mysterious person who even the maid in the courtyard doesn't know anything about it aroused his curiosity.Furthermore, it is not in line with his usual cautious style to forcefully leave through hypnosis before finding out the details of the other party.
He put the bamboo flute into his sleeve, raised his eyes and glanced at the young man, and said: "Your Excellency, tell me what is in your heart, and Meng will try his best to solve your doubts." smile.
Xiao Yu's brows moved slightly, and he asked his subordinates to bring a rattan chair and sit on the opposite side of the young man, and then asked someone to set up a low table, made a pot of tea, and first ordered someone to pour a cup for the young man. , Fang smiled and said: "I heard that Dr. Meng doesn't like drinking, so I have to taste clear tea, so I asked someone to prepare the latest crop of tea from Lichun Mountain, and invite Dr. Meng to have a taste."
"Oh? Your Excellency has investigated meticulously, not even letting go of such details." Meng Heng raised his eyebrows and sneered, he generously accepted the humility of the young man opposite him, took a sip from the teacup, and Fang Youyou said with a smile: "Yes, Although the taste is light, but the aftertaste is long, it is rare for you to bother."
The young man couldn't help laughing, shook his head and sighed: "Why does Xiao need to bother to investigate this? Doctor Meng knows that there are countless people in the capital who want to find out one or two tastes and two or three preferences of Doctor Meng. Xiao just pays attention to it a little bit. Just for fear of neglecting Dr. Meng."
Hearing this, the young man squinted his eyes happily, noncommittal.
Xiao Yu glanced at the young man, smiled lightly, and took the opportunity to ask: "Actually, this is what I don't understand. Dr. Meng is appreciated and respected by all the adults, and he has a deep personal relationship with the Lord Fu Yin. Why don't you take this opportunity to enter the court for the sake of your family?" Official? I believe that if Dr. Meng wants to become an official, he will be able to make smooth sailing and rise to the top."
I thought that the young man would be hesitant when he heard this question, but he didn't expect the young man to only glance at him, with a faint hint of sneer in his eyes, and after a long while Fang Feng asked calmly: "Who stipulates that you should be with the court?" If you make friends with Chinese ministers, you must enter the court as an official?"
The penetrating eyes of the lake seem to have ignored everything: "Meng doesn't like to be an official if he doesn't enter the court, and he doesn't like to be an official. There are so many ways in the world. I am not good at bureaucratic tactics, and I don’t have the mind to govern the world that cares about the common people in the world. I only like to be unrestrained, come and go freely, and find some interest in my own strengths. Why do you want to be an official? Why do you want to be an official? This question, your Excellency, It’s really unnecessary.”
The young man's voice was clear and clear, and there was a faint smile in his voice. Occasionally, when the wind blew leaves, a strand of black hair from the young man's temples would be rolled up, passing over the thin smiling lips to the fair ears and neck. sweep away.
It seems that the officialdom, fame and wealth, and the dog in the camp are nothing more than a ray of breeze in the eyes of young people, and they are all jokes.
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep look at the young man, and said after a long time: "It turns out that Dr. Meng is so indifferent to fame and wealth, I admire you."
I didn't want to, but I heard the young man laugh loudly. After laughing, Fang said: "Your Excellency is wrong. I have never been a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. It's just that the fame and fortune I want are not in the officialdom." After speaking, he looked at the young man again One glance, there is something special in the eyes.
Xiao Yu frowned and said nothing, just quietly looking at the young man's dark eyes, his thoughts wandered for a while, and he finally said, "Doctor Meng is really different."
The young man sneered, took a sip of his tea, put it down slowly, and didn't answer.
"I still have another concern, and I want to ask Doctor Meng for advice." Xiao Yu said.His eyes slowly fell on the boy's astonishingly beautiful face.
