Covet

Meng Tan was awakened by the rumbling sound of the carriage. He seemed to be still trapped in the hell of last night. Even when he woke up, his eyes were still dull. His physical discomfort gradually cleared his mind. The rag doll, the scorching sensation of skin rubbing and the pain of being pierced disappeared without a trace. He was extremely grateful to think that he was still alive, but where was it?

"Meng Tong?" Meng Tan said hoarsely.

Hearing his shout, Meng Tong got into the carriage, and found that Meng Tan wanted to sit up, but could only lean against the wall of the carriage because of his powerlessness. Meng Tong greeted Xie Ran again in his heart, and if they separated, they would separate. It was necessary to torture like this Master?When he was dressing the young master yesterday, he even saw some bloodstains on the bed.

"What's wrong, young master?" Meng Tong asked with concern.

"Where are we going?" He just opened the curtain to look at it. They had already left the city. It was already noon now. According to the driving distance, they might have left the capital quite a few miles.

Aren't they at Xie's house?Why are you out of town?And last night, Xie Ran would let him go when he wanted to kill himself. He thought that he would be stuck in bed for the rest of his life for Xie Ran to vent his desires.

Meng Tong explained Xie Ran's arrangement to Meng Tan truthfully. Although he was also curious why Xie Ran was so clever, the memory of his murderous subordinates harvesting heads yesterday made him dare not sleep all night, but he didn't Have the guts to figure out the ins and outs, as long as Xie Ran doesn't do them any harm.

Now it seems that Xie Ran not only didn't do them any harm, but also showed great kindness to them. He saved the Meng family. Although he divorced the young master, it was the young master's wish, and he didn't make it difficult.

After Meng Tong finished speaking, Meng Tan fell silent. His expression showed no excitement, only confusion. It was only last night that he recognized Xie Ran's true nature, but today he was told that Xie Ran had shown great kindness to them. I don't understand, which side of this man is the real him.

What Meng Tan didn't dare to admit was that apart from those complicated emotions, he still had nostalgia for this man, and their involvement was too deep. Only then did Meng Tan understand that feelings are a complicated thing, either liking or liking, maybe you Hate is your love, or the love you think is just an illusion created by yourself.

"Master, why are you crying?" Seeing Meng Tan clearly in a daze, Meng Tong suddenly shed two lines of tears.

Meng Tan wiped the tears on his face, and pulled out an ugly smile. The light from the curtains was projected on Meng Tan's pale lips, and there was a tooth mark not too deep or shallow on his lip, which he didn't know was bitten by himself. , it was still the traces of last night, his tears passed through the corners of his lips and slid to the crevice of his lips, Meng Tan opened his mouth, tasted the saltiness of tears.

"I'm fine. When I heard that my father was saved, I cried with joy." Meng Tan said.

But Meng Tong didn't think so. He felt that the young master was sad because of Xie Ran. After they left, they didn't know when they would come back, and he didn't know if the young master and Mr. Xie would meet again. The figure of Xie Qiao across the middle, and the faint kiss of parting.

Meng Tong shook his head, his face was a little hot, he got out of the carriage, let Meng Tan stay by himself for a while, and he had to calm down, thinking who would miss that person, he was really bewildered.

In fact, today is the day when Meng Huo was beheaded, but the one kneeling at the entrance of the vegetable market was just a death row prisoner wearing Meng Huo's face. Qianmian turned into an ordinary citizen, watching the executioner raise a knife with his hand, his mission also changed. After it was finished, someone collected the body, and Qian Mian came to Yu Yue.

"My mission is complete. Sister Yuyue, do you want to reward the villain for a spring night?" Qianmian said, grabbing the hem of Yuyue's clothes, Yuyue rolled her eyes and slapped his hand away. She just saved him last time. This kid once, this kid started pestering her.

"The landlord has a new mission." After speaking, she untied the sack on the ground, and there was a dead body lying in it. Looking at the small fatal wounds on his neck, it goes without saying that the landlord killed this person.

"Isn't this the grandson of the Wen family? It's really strange that the landlord directly killed the opponent's heir at this juncture." Qian Mian squatted down and muttered.

Yu Yue kicked his ass and said, "Don't speculate on the landlord's intentions, this is just to break into Wen's family, this is all Wen'an's information, you should memorize it by heart."

Yu Yue gave him a thick booklet, Qianmian took the booklet and began to dispose of the corpse.

In the general's mansion, Xie Ran, He Yu and Liu Ke gathered around the table and made the final arrangements.

"Let's just leave it like this. The imperial decree with the jade seal will be released in seven days, and it will inevitably attract people to fight for it. I will let people muddy the water. He Yu is responsible for restraining the Hong family's army, and you are waiting to finally take the imperial decree to ascend the throne." Thank you Dye is carefully arranged.

In this game where the world is chess, he has the chance to win, and he doesn't worry about his plan being unsuccessful at all. After this time, the most important task of upstairs and upstairs in his generation is over.

When he returned to Xie Mansion, looking at the deserted and quiet huge garden, he suddenly felt a sense of world-weariness. It seemed that there was nothing in this world that could attract him. Everything was under his control. There was no difference between the past, the present and the future. , and there is nothing to miss.

No, there are still, the only thing he can't grasp is a person, and now that person is no different from others, and sooner or later will be submerged in the torrent of time without leaving a trace.

"My lord, Zhang Qianshan and Master Zhang have posted a post." Xie Qiao held a famous post and handed it to Xie Ran, and Xie Ran opened the famous post with divergent eyes.

"Go get ready and go to the master's mansion." Xie Ran ordered, Zhang Qianshan invited him to drink tea, so he was fine.

When he arrived at Zhang's mansion, Zhang Qianshan was waiting for him in his tea garden. The tea garden was quiet and quiet. Xie Ran saluted Zhang Qianshan and sat down.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time." Zhang Qianshan smiled and poured warm tea for him. Seeing that Zhang Qianshan didn't use his complicated tea making method, Xie Ran knew that he didn't invite himself to taste tea today .

"Master, you may as well speak directly if you have something to say." Xie Ran said.

Zhang Qianshan shook his head, he was always very helpless for Xie Ran's directness and sensitivity.

"I just want to ask you what you think about the throne?" He knew Xie Ran's ability, and the recent series of changes made him realize that his apprentice was responsible for it.

It's just that at first he thought that Xie Ran was Liu Xiu's backstage supporter, but now it doesn't look like it, he thought about it, since it's not Liu Xiu, does Xie Ran want to call himself emperor?This piece of Qianshan can't sit still, no matter how much he doesn't care about world affairs, he is still loyal to the emperor, Liu's country should belong to Liu's, no matter how it changes, he can't change his surname to Xie Qu.

Xie Ran understood Zhang Qianshan's worries as soon as he heard it, and replied: "I'm not interested in that seat, Master, your worries will not come true."

Zhang Qianshan gave him a complicated look, took a sip of tea and said, "I know you are a proper child."

Afterwards, Zhang Qianshan took out his tea-making skills and made a pot of good tea. After the two tasted the tea, Xie Ran got up and left. On the way, he ran into Zhang Chengxue. Zhang Chengxue saw him embarrassed, but still left up.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" Zhang Chengxue asked.

"Very good!" Xie Ran was about to leave after finishing speaking, but Zhang Chengxue stopped him.

"Senior brother, I offended senior brother because I was ignorant that day, and my father made an engagement for me, and I will get married soon." Zhang Chengxue didn't know why he said it, maybe it was because his heart was not dead.

"Congratulations!" Xie Ran said calmly, without sadness or joy, without a trace of emotion, and left after speaking.

Zhang Chengxue looked at his back, her eyes were red, her maid called "Miss" uneasily, Zhang Chengxue looked away, hiding her fragility.

"Let's go!" She had done everything she could, even sacrificed her own reputation, but she still couldn't impress Xie Ran in the slightest, so she completely gave up.

Meng Tan and the others traveled on the road for several days and nights before arriving in Fengcheng, where they met Meng Huo in a mansion in Fengcheng.

"Daddy!" Meng Tan hurried over and hugged Meng Tan, Meng Huo also burst into tears when he saw his son.

"Oh, my Tantan, you are finally here."

The father and son narrowly escaped death, and now they meet safely, it is very touching, Meng Tong beside him burst into tears, enough hugs, Meng Tan let go of his father, Meng Huo praised Meng Tong when he saw Meng Tong, and they entered out of the house.

When Meng Huo mentioned that he had been rescued, he also had a look of disbelief, and he couldn't figure out who was so powerful. After those people settled down, he disappeared without saying anything, and he didn't even have a chance to ask.

"Master, don't you know? Mr. Xie saved us." Meng Tong said quickly, and Meng Tan's eyes dimmed when he heard him mention Xie Ran.

Meng Huo was in disbelief, isn't Xie Ran from the Third Prince?Why should he save himself? If it's for Meng Tan, it's even more impossible. Their marriage was bestowed by the late emperor, but to Xie Ran, it was considered forced. He didn't see how much Xie Ran liked Tan Tan, so Thinking about it this way, he became even more puzzled.

"Father, he was indeed the one who saved us." Seeing the suspicion on his face, Meng Tan immediately said, and Meng Huo nodded.

"Then he is really our family's benefactor, Tan Tan, Dad narrowly escaped death this time, you should spend more time with Dad, and return to the capital later." Meng Huo thought that his son might just come to see him this time, when the time comes I have to go back to reunite with Xie Ran. This place is no different than the capital. Once they are separated, it will not be so easy to meet again.

Meng Tan smiled and said, "Father, I won't go back. I'll just stay here and take care of you."

Meng Huo was very happy when he heard that, he patted his son on the shoulder and said, "It's comforting that you miss Dad like this, but there's no reason for a husband and wife to separate for a long time."

When Meng Tong heard this, he looked at Meng Tan in embarrassment, Meng Tan shook his head at Meng Huo, and told the truth, "Father, I was divorced by Xie Ran."

After saying these words, Meng Huo lost his smile and immediately asked what was going on.

Meng Tan truthfully said that it was the divorce letter he asked for and had nothing to do with Xie Ran, and he also hid the coercion that Xie Ran had imposed on him that night, Meng Huo looked a little unhappy when he heard that.

He knew how much Meng Tan liked Xie Ran back then. If he hadn't watched him haggard day by day, how could he have asked for his son to marry someone? Ran is really good, and he has feelings for Meng Tan, but why is his son so stupid? It's okay to be stupid in trivial matters. Doesn't it hurt people to be stupid in such things?

But it was also his fault. When he was imprisoned and the Third Prince ascended the throne in such a dishonorable way, he inevitably didn't think much about Xie Ran, but now that he thinks about it, he really hurt them.

"After a few more days to settle down, you and dad will go back to the capital?" Meng Huo then said, although he wanted to deny it, he didn't think his son could leave Xie Ran, no wonder he lost so much weight today.

"Father, why? The capital is so dangerous." Meng Tanyi's heart skipped a beat when he heard the proposal at first, and he had so much anticipation, but thinking that his father was already a recognized "dead person" in the world, he didn't know how dangerous it would be to go back like this.

Meng Huo comforted him: "Don't worry, your father and I have been in the capital for so many years, nothing will happen."

Meng Tan still didn't agree, but this time Meng Huo seemed to be determined. He didn't agree with what his beloved son said, and he himself was worried, because returning to Beijing meant that he might run into Xie Ran, and he was a little scared.

Little did they know, what his father said about returning to Beijing meant sending him back to his "husband's house".
