After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

"It's you?"

Lu Yuan glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing sneaking around in the middle of the night?"

Meng Lang muttered, "Who is sneaking around? It's too late now, so I want to hear if you guys are asleep or not. Should I wake you up? My sister is so irritable when she wakes up, I'm afraid she'll beat me up if I anger her!"

Lu Yuan snorted, "You are quite self-aware."

Meng Qianqian's voice came from inside the house: "Where's my brother?"

Meng Lang said, "I don't know. He left me alone early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. He's been leaving early and coming back late lately. I don't know what he's busy with."

Meng Qianqian came out wearing clothes: "So you are useless?"

Meng Lang was furious: "Who said that? I am very useful, okay? Otherwise, can my master take me with him?"

Meng Qianqian said expressionlessly: "Washing clothes, cooking and doing odd jobs, well, it is indeed somewhat useful."

Meng Lang: "..."

In late July, Xicheng was filled with deep autumn air in the mornings and evenings, and was much cooler than Beijing.

Lu Yuan looked at Meng Qianqian's thin clothes and said to Meng Lang, "Come in and talk."

Meng Lang entered the house and closed the door tactfully.

The three of them sat around the table.

Meng Lang poured himself a cup of tea and said, "I heard from the shopkeeper that quite a few of you came. Who are they?"

Meng Qianqian said: "This is not your business. Tell me what you found out in West City."

Meng Lang curled his lips and muttered resentfully, "Chen Long said so, and you said so too. You two are holding so many secrets, aren't you feeling full?"

Lu Yuan said: "With Chen Long not here, no one can deal with you?"

Meng Lang immediately backed down.

"Okay, okay, I say."

He said helplessly, "Aimulan and her envoys have returned to Loulan. Not only did they lose several generals on their trip to the capital, but even Togatai was killed. The ministers and the people blamed Aimulan for the loss, and her reputation in the court and among the people has been damaged."

Meng Qianqian asked: "What was the reaction of the King of Loulan?"

Meng Lang drank a large cup of tea. "The King of Loulan was quite tolerant of this princess. Not only did he forgive her sins, he also suppressed all the voices of opposition. He was obviously seriously ill, but he was very concerned about the princess's affairs. He even forced himself to attend court a few days ago."

When Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other and exchanged a knowing look.

"You think so too?"

Meng Qianqian said.

Meng Lang was stunned.

Why do you think so?

What do you think?

What just happened?

Am I deaf or am I losing my memory?!

Lu Yuan ignored Meng Lang's stunned expression and hummed, "I'm afraid our information about the King of Loulan is wrong. It's false that the King of Loulan is terminally ill. At least he is not to the extent that he cannot stay in the hotel as rumored."

Meng Qianqian nodded: "The King of Loulan and Ayimulan... they seem to be in harmony but their hearts are not together."

The King of Loulan and Aimulan are nominally husband and wife, but in fact they each have their own ambitions and both want to become the king of the Western Regions as predicted.

Aimulan was such a strong woman, competing with the King of Loulan in the court. The King of Loulan must have been dissatisfied for a long time.

Now that Amushan had died in Youzhou, he simply went with the flow and used the help of the Great Zhou court and the Governor's Office to weaken Aimulan's power.

This move is quite clever.

Lu Yuan sneered, "This is getting interesting."

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Yes, there can only be one king of the Western Regions. What could be more satisfying than to make them turn against each other?"

In the case of the extermination of the Shang family, neither the King of Loulan nor Aimulan could escape responsibility.

The problem is that they are of one mind.

It’s best to fight among yourself and end up hurting both sides.

Of course, there is another possibility.

They will first join forces to face the outside world.

It's not impossible.

Events often change in just a moment, and no one can predict what unexpected events will happen next.

Meng Qianqian asked suspiciously, "You said... Is the King of Loulan pretending to be sick?"

Lu Yuan tapped the tabletop with his fingertips: "Do you suspect he did this on purpose to deal with Ayi Mulan?"

Meng Qianqian nodded: "It's not enough for just Ayi Mulan, but if we count the other nine princes, it's worth a try."

"After he became seriously ill, the other princes were ready to make moves, fighting openly and secretly. He only needed to wait until everyone was fighting to the death before catching them all in one fell swoop. If I were him, this would be a good idea."

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with deep thought: "It's a good idea, but it's a bit too hasty."

Meng Qianqian's eyes were dim: "Some things don't have to be done until you are fully prepared, because often by the time you are fully prepared, either the enemy is fully prepared too, or the opportunity has already been missed."

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Meng Xiaojiu, who did you learn these great principles from?"

Meng Qianqian said without any modesty: "I learned it by myself."

Lu Yuan curled the corners of his lips.

Meng Lang drank water and looked at the two of them with his eyes rolling around.

Just talk about business, and don't throw away such dog food, okay?

I've eaten a lot tonight!

"I know where my brother went."

Meng Qianqian said.

Lu Yuan said meaningfully, with some appreciation: "Oh?"

Meng Qianqian's cheeks felt hot under his scorching gaze. Her eyes moved and she said calmly, "He must have discovered that the King of Loulan's illness was a fraud. Do you think he went to explore the Loulan Palace at night?"

Only Meng Lang didn't notice the subtle ambiguity between the two. He was shocked: "No way? He wants to die? He is the former prince of Loulan. Those who want to kill him in the palace can line up from Loulan to the capital! He is like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth! Is he so stupid?"

At this point, he suddenly thought of something, stretched out his hand, and said seriously, "Wait, if he dies, will I be considered a master and the next Chenlong Guard?"

"Who did you say died?"

Chen Long's cold voice suddenly rang behind him.

Meng Lang shuddered.

The sky is falling! ! !

"elder brother!"

Meng Qianqian stood up.

The coldness in Chen Long's eyes disappeared: "Why are you still not asleep so late?"

Meng Qianqian shook her head slightly, indicating that she was not sleepy: "I slept in the carriage for a long time. By the way, where did you go? Did you really go to the Loulan Palace?"

Chen Long said: "I was planning to go, but I met someone on the way and came back."

"Who?"

"Snake."

Clang!

There was a sound of the door being pushed open heavily from the next door.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Qingluan appeared at the door of the wing room in a hurry.

She breathed slightly, calmed herself down, and said calmly: "I... need help from the Tiger Guards."

Meng Qianqian asked: "Now?"

Yao Qingluan glanced at him and said seriously, "It's not a big deal. Since the Tiger Guards are busy, it won't be too late to talk about it tomorrow."

She turned and left, looking a little lonely.

She stood in the corridor for a long time, until the cold wind penetrated her bones and blood and her hands and feet were cold, then she lowered her head and went back to her room.

Only after she closed the door did the snake walk out from the darkness.
