Chapter 323 No Refutation
May 12th, sunny, cloudy, and windless.
Today is the day when the Qing Kingdom delegation sets out for Northern Qi.
Mei Cheng'an woke up early in the morning, just as it was getting light. It was not because he was excited, but simply because he had to pee.
The farewell to his wife yesterday was very sweet and smooth. He was in a good mood and floated several times in the moonlight.
He could dispel the drunkenness by practicing martial arts, but he couldn't dispel the urge to urinate. After all, he was not practicing the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
After getting up and peeing quickly, Mei Chengan couldn't fall asleep when he returned to the room. This time it was because he was excited.
You really can't blame him for being useless. It's because he has never been far away from home since he came here. It's inevitable that he would be a little excited this first time.
After all, Fan Xian had been to Danzhou. The farthest he had been was Meijia Manor, which was about ten miles away from Kyoto. It was pitiful just to think about it.
The key point is that he is not short of money, which makes him seem even more pitiful.
Let’s not talk about it anymore. It brings tears to my eyes.
Back to the point.
Just as Mei Cheng'an was sitting on the bed in a daze, the sun slowly rose in the east, revealing its true appearance, and the sky soon became bright.
The morning light shone into the room through the attic window, reflecting on his face and casting a layer of warm soft light on it.
Mei Cheng'an blinked, got up from the bed, walked to the window, took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and stretched lazily.
A beautiful day begins, let’s start with morning exercise.
While he was doing his morning exercise leisurely, the maids were busy going in and out, loading the packed luggage into the car.
After a few glances, Mei Cheng'an was surprised to find that several maids had all changed into men's clothes today, as if they had agreed on it.
Chest... maybe it was squeezed too hard, even such a big hill was squeezed into a small mound of earth cough cough cough...
Why are you glaring at me? Master, I am concerned about your physical and mental health, okay? No evil thoughts, don't think of anything wrong.
Still staring! Fine, fine, I won't look at you, as if no one wants to see you. Humph, don't come to me for help if you feel chest tightness in the future.
Mei Cheng'an rolled his eyes and decisively looked away, continuing to practice Tai Chi without looking away.
But I have to say, without their charming curves, they are all quite handsome, just a little bit worse than him.
After morning exercise, Mei Cheng'an, feeling refreshed, rushed to the dining hall for breakfast and formally said goodbye to his family at the table.
He also specifically told his family not to go to the city gate to see him off. Not only his family, but he and his wife also told him this in advance.
In his opinion, saying goodbye in person would do no good except to increase the sadness of parting, so it was unnecessary.
After persuading his family, he returned to the courtyard. After washing up, Mei Cheng'an wiped his hands and looked at Wang Qinian who was late with a bag on his back.
"Why are you late again, Lao Wang? That's not your style."
Wang Qinian scratched his head embarrassedly and began to explain.
"Before I left, my wife went to the store and packed some snacks for me to eat on the way, so I was delayed for some time."
Mei Cheng'an said "oh". He just asked casually without any intention of pursuing the matter and it didn't delay anything.
"You've come just in time. Give your luggage to Huanggua first and ask her to take it to the envoys at the city gate."
Wang Qinian said "oh", took down his bag and handed it to Huanggua. Huanggua took it, lowered his body towards Mei Chengan, then turned and left.
Mei Cheng'an looked at him and continued to give orders.
"Take Bluebird and Green Ant to the Overwatch Council, bring Si Lili out, and escort her to the city gate to hand her over to the envoys."
As he said this, he took out the badge of the Commissioner from his waist and threw it to Wang Qinian.
"Take this and pick up the person."
"okay."
Wang Qinian took the token.
"Then we are done..."
Mei Chengan thought for a while and said.
"When you are done, you can stay with the mission. You don't need to come back. You are familiar with the people there, so take them to get familiar with the mission first."
Wang Qinian nodded.
"Okay, I understand. What about you?"
Mei Chengan waved his hand.
"Don't worry about me. Hongshu and I have to go to the Supervisory Office later. We will escort Xiao En and meet you at the city gate."
Without any more questions, Wang Qinian took the blue bird and the green ant and left, leaving only Mei Chengan and Hongshu in the courtyard.
With Hongshu's help, Mei Cheng'an changed her clothes into a thin, light black tight-sleeved suit embroidered with light gold patterns.
At Mei Cheng'an's special request, a pair of dark red wrist guards were added to the cuffs. They looked like wrist guards, but were actually needle bags that contained many silver needles. The silver needles were light and did not feel cumbersome.
He was responsible for coming up with ideas, and Hongshu was responsible for helping him realize his ideas. The design and production of the wristband were all completed independently by Hongshu.
Letting Hongshu help him comb his hair and change the hairpin, Mei Cheng'an tapped the table with his fingers as he looked at the handsome young man in the bronze mirror.
After finishing his hair, Mei Cheng'an stood up and looked at the whole thing in the bronze mirror. After confirming that it was perfect, he turned and looked at Hongshu.
"Master, do I look good in this outfit?"
Sweet Potato looked him up and down, gave him a thumbs up and said with a smile.
"It's so beautiful, it's blinding my eyes, young master!"
Mei Chengan couldn't help laughing when he heard that. He stretched out his finger and touched her forehead, chuckling.
"You are so dazzling, not dazzling. If this gets out, people will laugh their heads off."
Sweet potato's face turned red and he stuck out his tongue embarrassedly.
Mei Cheng'an smiled when he saw this, but didn't say much. He looked around his room quietly and walked out.
I silently said to myself, see you in half a year.
"Let's go, Sweet Potato, the Overwatch Council." "Yes, Master."
……
In front of the Supervisory Council.
Mei Cheng'an stepped on the horse stool and got off the carriage. After Hongshu put away the horse stool, he said something to the coachman, and the carriage quickly turned around and left.
Hongshu turned around and walked behind Mei Chengan and reported.
"Master, I asked the carriage in the mansion to go back."
Mei Cheng'an hummed without looking back. At this moment, he was folding his arms and looking at the mobile cell in front of him with great interest.
This car should be Sean's exclusive car.
The carriage was completely wrapped in iron sheets without any gaps, and dozens of iron chains as thick as arms were tightly wrapped around it, making it look exaggerated.
Wow, this is a one-to-one replica of Sean’s cell in the dungeon on the carriage. This treatment is unparalleled.
After expressing his feelings, Mei Cheng'an looked around and when he saw that no one had arrived yet, he walked towards the Supervisory Office.
Instead of waiting, you might as well sit inside for a while.
Chen Pingping's office.
When Mei Cheng'an walked in, Chen Pingping was talking to Fei Jie. When they saw him come in, they both stopped talking and looked at him.
"Good morning."
Mei Chengan greeted the two of them with a smile.
Fei Jie curled his lips and said nothing, and Chen Pingping smiled.
"Good morning. Please take a seat. Fan Xian hasn't arrived yet."
Mei Cheng'an nodded and sat down directly on the couch. He looked at the small table next to him, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
Chen Pingping pointed at him and looked at Fei Jie.
"If you think that the secret protection of the Black Knight alone is not enough, well, he is nearby. I have arranged everything, so you can rest assured."
Fei Jie glanced at Mei Chengan.
"he?"
The tone was full of disgust and distrust.
Mei Chengan chuckled while holding the teacup.
Chen Pingping stretched out his hand to suppress him, signaling him to keep quiet, and smiled at Fei Jie.
"Don't underestimate him. Although he is only one year older than Fan Xian, he has already entered the ninth rank and his skills are extraordinary."
Upon hearing this, Fei Jie turned his head and looked at Mei Chengan in shock. A hint of shock flashed in his little eyes. After looking him up and down, he opened his mouth.
"You are a ninth-rank kid?"
Mei Chengan snorted proudly and turned his head away, ignoring him.
Today you are so picky with me... ahem, take it, it’s too childish.
"..."
Chen Pingping smiled and said softly.
"He is not just an ordinary ninth-grade master. Shadow said that even an ordinary ninth-grade master may not be his match."
Hearing Shadow's high opinion of that boy, Fei Jie's eyes became more and more surprised. Is this boy really that awesome?
If that's the case, Fan Xian's safety would be greatly improved if he had a close bodyguard. However, I wasn't very nice to him just now, and I'm afraid I might have offended him. He won't...
Thinking of this, Fei Jie showed a hint of hesitation in his eyes, and he was considering whether he should humble himself and say something softly to that boy.
Seeing his eyes, Chen Pingping thought he was still worried, so he spoke.
"With a ninth-rank expert like him protecting Fan Xian nearby, and the black cavalry in the dark, you can rest assured that..."
"Hey, stop it."
Mei Cheng'an suddenly interrupted him, and Chen Pingping and Fei Jie turned their heads to look at him.
Mei Cheng'an put down the teacup and rolled his eyes.
"Let me make one thing clear first. I am on this mission to complete the mission assigned to me by His Majesty, not to serve as Fan Xian's personal bodyguard. I am a little unhappy to hear you say that."
Fei Jie: "..."
Chen Pingping: "..."
Fei Jie immediately turned around and glared at Chen Pingping.
"Look, no one wants to protect Fan Xian!"
There was a hint of helplessness in Chen Pingping's eyes. He was about to appease the man, but now he didn't know how much more effort it would take to pacify him.
After glaring at the culprit fiercely, Chen Pingping pointed at him.
"Just drink your tea quietly. No one will think you're dumb if you don't speak. Who said you were Fan Xian's bodyguard? How dare you cause trouble for me!"
When Fei Jie heard this, he immediately became unhappy and said loudly.
"He's not Fan Xian's bodyguard, so what did you mean by what you just said to me? Are you lying to me? Is that fun, Chen Pingping?"
Seeing that the dispute had arisen again, Mei Chengan shrugged his shoulders, picked up the teacup with a smile and started drinking it.
The work is done and I leave, hiding my achievements and fame. Oh, I feel comfortable.
Having spit sprayed all over his face, Chen Pingping closed his eyes and wiped it with his sleeve, then opened his eyes and looked at Fei Jie expressionlessly, and he immediately became angry.
"When did I lie to you? Does it matter whether he is Fan Xian's bodyguard? Haven't you heard about how close he is to Fan Xian?
They were so close that they were almost like one and the same. Do you think he would just watch Fan Xian get into trouble and do nothing? Huh?
Can you please use your brain to think about it?"
Mei Cheng'an opened his mouth when he heard this and wanted to refute the idea that wearing only one pair of pants was disgusting and unhygienic.
But after Chen Pingping glared at him fiercely in time, he shut his mouth again. Well... Actually, if you think about it carefully, it’s okay not to refute.
