Volume Five: Hundreds of Skills into Steel Chapter 20: Seeking Help from Mengyao
Chapter 20 of Volume 5: A Hundred Refined Steels, Turning to Mengyao for Help
The Dragon-Slaying Sword has been with him for a full year, and during this year, Ling Jie truly became powerful, and at the same time witnessed the Kyushu Dynasty reaching an unprecedented peak. For Ling Jie,
The Dragon-Zlaying Sword is no longer just a simple weapon, but a pen, an ancient pen that has witnessed himself and the Kyushu Dynasty from the trough to the peak, and then fell from the peak to the trough.
Another knife, but a period of vicissitudes that will be unforgettable.
An expert once said: Have you ever asked yourself whether you have truly laughed or cried in your life? If not, then your life has been in vain.
At this moment, Ling Jie felt very tangled in his heart. He looked at the broken mark in the middle of the dragon-slaying knife and couldn't explain how he felt. It was as if it was a confidant and a friend. Now his confidant is gone, his friend is gone, and his brothers are separated.
, even the dragon-slaying knife that was close to his body was broken. Ling Jie kept asking himself, what is the meaning of living like this?
Ling Jie has also been negative these days. He is not a god. He is just like ordinary people, with two eyes, one pair of ears and one mouth. He also has times when he is tired and confused, but from Feng Mang and Mengyao, Ling Jie found the answer.
: Wasting time is equivalent to committing suicide. I hope my life can be like a vivid story, like a brilliant dream, like a song that I was obsessed with in childhood.
Ling Jie stroked the blade with a focused and serious look. He put down the broken blade after a long time and said softly, "Although Mengyao promised to give himself and his brothers a way out, now that Chen Qiang and the others have regained their freedom, I don't know what Mengyao will do."
What to do with me, one thing is for sure, she can't let me go so easily..."
Ling Jie struck the blade of the sword, making a crisp sound of "Dang! Dang! Dang!" and said to himself, "The Dragon-Slaying Knife was given to me by the bandit girl. The origin of the Dragon-Slaying Knife was told to me by Mengyao. Look.
Both of them know the origin of the Dragon-Slaying Sword. Now that the Dragon-Slaying Sword has been interrupted by Mengyao, can they..."
Ling Jie stood up suddenly and slapped his head, "Yes, I'll go find Mengyao and ask her to help think of a solution. Maybe she can really help."
Thinking of this, Ling Jie became more energetic, put the two dragon-slaying knives into his bag, took his wallet and went straight out.
Ling Jie dare not say that he has a complete understanding of Mengyao's character, but more than 70% of it is known to Ling Jie. Apart from the reasons of public opinion and politics, Ling Jie feels that Mengyao still regards himself in his heart.
When a friend saw it, although she had seriously injured Ling Jie before, there were more than 20 Qianlong members present, including Lieutenant General Zhang Chaoshan. Mengyao had no choice but to do this. Although she was the 13th member of the National Security Bureau
He is a member of the Bureau, the most elite person in the country, but Zhang Chaoshan has the rank of lieutenant general, and there are so many Qianlong members. Behind Qianlong is General Han Ping, and Mengyao cannot offend him.
What's more important is that Ling Jie is now recognized as a felon across the country, and any attempt to rescue him will be the target of public criticism. We cannot wade into this troubled waters casually.
Ling Jie carried his bag and came to Mengyao's room on the third floor, knocking on the door hard, bang! Bang! Bang!
"Mr. Lingjie, did Miss go out just now?" A nanny not far away asked. She didn't want to say it at first, but she saw Ling Jie knocking on the door more and more roughly. Afterwards, she felt that the door was being opened.
Shivering, if she let Ling Jie knock on it again, he would probably have to break the door. For her, that would mean she would be fired. Because of this, she "kindly" reminded Ling Jie.
"Going out? Wasn't she still there just now?" Ling Jie put his bag on the guardrail next to the stairs. He saw that it was a woman in her 40s with a long face. Ling Jie couldn't help but laugh.
, "Auntie, do you know where Mengyao went?"
The nanny shook her head, "Miss has a rule of life. She has to go to the Green Tea House to drink tea at eight o'clock every morning. It's just after eight o'clock now, so Miss should be at the Green Tea House."
Ling Jie snapped his fingers, picked up his bag and went downstairs. He suddenly stopped halfway and turned around with a smile, "Auntie, how do I get to the Green Tea House?"
The nanny obviously didn't have a good impression of Ling Jie. Besides, she also knew that Ling Jie was kicked back by Mengyao and he probably didn't have much status. Naturally, she wouldn't be polite to such a person and said directly, "You go to the street."
You’ll know if you ask.”
After saying that, she picked up the rag in her hand and wiped the door carefully, ignoring Ling Jie's astonished expression.
"It's okay for a nanny to be so arrogant." Ling Jie muttered in his heart and walked quickly to the hall.
Zhongnanhai is located in the western suburbs of Beijing, covering an area of just over 2,000 acres. It is where the top leaders of the central government work and live. This place has always been mysterious, and every move here touches the nerves of the country and even the world.
The place where Mengyao lives is on the edge of Zhongnanhai. Going out is the west of the city. It is not prosperous, but it does not seem backward. To be more precise, it is a small town life with exquisite scenery. Although there are not many shops here,
The streets are not dense, but the consumption here is astonishingly high. A random breakfast costs dozens of yuan!
Ling Jie, who was wearing ordinary clothes, was walking on the small street, and he always felt that other people looked at him a little differently. At first, Ling Jie didn't think anything of it, but as he got closer, people gathered around him, treating Ling Jie as a precious animal.
, Ling Jie couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked up to a waitress selling breakfast and said with a smile, "Hi, beauty, you look so beautiful today."
The woman also looked at Ling Jie a little strangely, but Ling Jie's words seemed to be more useful. She smiled and said, "Thank you, sir. Do you need something to eat? There are good Xiao Long Bao, dumplings, and Chaos here."
…”
Ling Jie said with a smile, "Thank you, no need. I'm just curious, why do they all look at me like this? Could it be that someone painted gossip on my face?"
"Wow." The woman couldn't help but laugh, "Sir, you are really good at joking. You just came here, right? There is an unwritten rule here. All men and women must wear suits when going out. Those who don't wear suits will be jailed."
Discrimination', the way you are dressed today...is not in line with the rules."
Ling Jie finally understood and suddenly said, "So that's it. It's just my first day here. I will be careful next time. Is there a place called Green Tea House nearby?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then pointed behind her, "This is the Green Teahouse. Sir, don't you ever read the words when you walk?"
Ling Jie looked up, and sure enough, he saw a green plaque hanging on it, with an inscription written by Jin Yong himself - Green Tea House, the best tea in the world!
Ling Jie was fascinated by what he saw. Jin Yong was his idol. He had been obsessed with Jin Yong's novels and TV shows since he was five years old. Now that he touched Mr. Jin Yong's soul again, Ling Jie felt a little excited, "
Why did Mr. Jin Yong add 'the best tea in the world' after the green tea house?"
The woman came to her senses and looked excited, "This is a long story. Back then..."
Ling Jie hurriedly said, "I want a piece of Chaos, a big one. By the way, what's the most distinctive tea here?"
The woman was about to give an impassioned speech when she was suddenly interrupted. She felt a little unhappy. Considering that Ling Jie was a guest, she had no choice but to give up and said, "Qishan Black Tea."
Ling Jie was delighted, Qishan black tea, he likes this, "Then give me another Qishan black tea."
Under the guidance of the woman, Ling Jie strode into the teahouse. This place is much worse than the Qishan Teahouse in Guangzhou. First of all, the venue is smaller, but it gives people the unique feeling of a small and exquisite school. There are a lot of potted trees inside, and the air is
The environment is fresh and elegant. Although it is early in the morning, more than half of the seats are occupied by guests.
Ling Jie looked around and saw Mengyao sitting next to a relatively remote window. She was holding a tea cup in her left hand and her chin in her right hand. She was looking at the street outside the window. She was originally a beauty. Such actions made her look even more beautiful.
It has a somewhat thrilling sense of beauty, poetic and picturesque.
Ling Jie shook his head and walked gently to Mengyao. He was about to speak, but Mengyao got there first, "Ling Jie, it's rare that you would come to such an elegant place. It's quite interesting."
She turned around with a smile on her beautiful face, which made Ling Jie feel a little scared.
"I...I...I..." Ling Jie suddenly pointed out the window, "I just passed by and saw you drinking tea here, so I came in. Haha, what a coincidence, I met you here.
, fate, fate.”
Mengyao raised the corner of her mouth, pointed to the glass on the window, and said, "This is a special one-way glass. You can see the outdoor scene clearly when you are indoors, but you cannot see indoors when you are outdoors. It is a one-way perspective." She still smiled.
, "You are really capable. You can actually see people indoors clearly from outside. I admire you."
Ling Jie knew that the leather was blown, his face turned red and he was very embarrassed. At this moment, the woman brought a pot of hot tea and a bowl of Chaos, "Sir, please use the Qishan black tea and Chaos you requested with caution."
"Ah... thank you, thank you." Ling Jie thanked him repeatedly and said nothing. He lowered his head and took a few mouthfuls of Chaos. He kept saying it was delicious, and then he raised his head and said, "This is indeed a good place. No wonder you have been here for several years."
Keep up the habit of coming here for breakfast.”
Ling Jie put down his chopsticks, picked up two tea cups from the table, filled two cups of black tea, and placed one cup in front of Mengyao, "Qishan black tea is one of the four famous teas in the world. It has a light and long-lasting bitter taste, which is rare.
Good tea.”
Mengyao took a sip unceremoniously, and a faint bitter taste flowed into her heart, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Tie and Mengyao were not particularly familiar. Mengyao had always been a mysterious existence in Ling Jie's heart, and he could not figure her out.
Ling Jie put down the teacup, put the bag on the table, opened the zipper, and took out the two broken Dragon-Slaying Swords, "The Dragon-Slaying Sword is broken, I think you must have a way to restore it."
Mengyao smiled with relief, it turned out that this guy came here for this knife, "Even if I can restore it, why should I help you?"
Ling Jie was suffocated, but soon smiled again, "Then what do you need to do to help?"
Mengyao said, "Promise me something and I will help you."
Ling Jie obviously felt his heart beat faster, "My life is now in your hands. Many things have not been settled yet. Is there anything else I need to agree to do?"
Mengyao smiled and said, "Of course, you need to be willing to do this. No one can force you."
Ling Jie couldn't help but leaned forward, "What's the matter?"
Ling Jie asked himself that he was not stupid, but he really couldn't think of anything that still required his consent. Now that his life was in Mengyao's hands, what should she do to him? She couldn't do anything to him, and she had to agree to it herself? Others
Can't force it?
Is there such a magical thing in the world?
