"Thousand Houses?"

Hu Ye muttered in his heart that it seemed that Zhang Fu was the only one who knew Qianhu. That guy would not have gone to Baoding Mansion to joke with him. So who would this Qianhu be?

Lao Qian sat in the carriage and looked at the soldiers in front of him coldly. His eyesight could tell that these soldiers must have trained a lot on weekdays, and they were all lively. No wonder they were sent to the bottom of Longyun Villa.

Seeing that Hu Ye was not moving, the leading soldier then added, "My family has long admired Mr. Hu Ye's name. I just want to see Mr. Hu Ye's honor. You don't have to worry."

"It depends on how many soldiers I need to call to intercept me?" Hu Ye cursed in his heart. These soldiers were fully armed. I'm afraid they were worried that they would take the plagues after going to Longyun Villa. If they didn't go with them, they might have to do it immediately.

But Hu Ye is not worried that they will be unfavorable to him. Even if he has survived a place like Longyun Villa, would he still be afraid of a thousand households?

"Lead the way forward." Hu Ye urged Hongchen to lead the way forward. Lao Qian also rushed to chase after him in a carriage.

The thousand-household military camp was also stationed on the Juma River and got off the mountain where Longyun Villa was located. It took less than a stick of incense to walk.

This military camp is not big, obviously there is no entire thousand households stationed. There may be only one hundred people. The rest are scattered around Longyun Villa to prevent anyone from escaping from Longyun Villa with the plague.

"Report to Qianhu, Hu Ye has arrived." The soldier took Hu Ye outside a tent and said to it.

"Let them come in." An old voice came from inside.

Hu Ye couldn't help but think of Qiu Fu after hearing this. It seemed that this Qianhu family might be as talented as Qiu Fu. So he greeted Lao Qian and asked him to wait outside, while he entered the tent.

"Are you Hu Ye?" As soon as Hu Ye walked into the tent, the old voice rang again.

Hu Ye looked at the old man carefully and looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, and his beard was white. However, his hair was still black and he looked very energetic. Just like Qiu Fu, he was still strong.

"I'm Hu Ye, I don't know if Lord Qianhu is..." Hu Ye bowed slowly and asked.

"Dingyuan Wei Qianhu, Meng Shan." The old man came over and sat on a chair and said.

"Meng Shan?" Hu Ye searched for the information in his mind. He seemed to have heard of the person's name. After repeating Meng Shan's name, he suddenly remembered that this person seemed to have finally raised an army with Zhu Di. Later, he became Duke Teng.

"Dare you ask Lord Qianhu, are you a descendant of the Sub-Saint Mencius?" Hu Ye asked.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the young master would even know this. He is worthy of being a master." Meng Shan smiled and signaled Hu Ye to sit down and speak.

Hu Ye did not refuse, and went straight to Meng Shan to do it, then picked up the tea and started drinking it.

"I wonder what kind of teachings are there for the Lord Qianhu to come to me?" After a mouthful of tea, Hu Ye asked Meng Shan.

"A few days ago, did the young master spend his time in Longyun Villa?" Meng Shan asked straight to the point.

Hu Ye glanced at Meng Shan. Is there any need to ask this kind of question? Didn’t you just bump into me on the way down the mountain? Are Mencius’ descendants so bored?

"Not bad." Hu Ye didn't deny it either.

"How is the epidemic above?" Meng Shan's tone changed, and then he asked.

"Basically, I'm in control. There shouldn't be any more dead, otherwise I won't go down the mountain." Hu Ye looked at Meng Shan in confusion and asked suddenly, "Dare you ask the old man. Is it your order to kill those sick people?"

"Of course I did not give this order, otherwise how would I meet my ancestor after I die?" Meng Shan smiled bitterly. As the fifty-fifth generation grandson of Mencius, how could he do such inhumane things? So he spoke, "The one who gave this order was a hundred households under me. I have ordered his military law to be carried out."

"Then what happened if you sent someone to surround Longyun Villa? Are you afraid that Longyun Villa will take the opportunity to instigate the nearby people?"

"The plague is of great importance. I, Meng Shan, have to admire Long Yi, who was able to bring all more than 300 patients to Longyun Villa. As for surrounding him, the main reason is to be afraid that the epidemic will spread." Meng Shan explained.

"I'm afraid that the Qianhu Lord came to me not just to inquire about the epidemic in the mountains." After hearing Meng Shan's explanation, Hu Ye stopped asking Longyun Villa. I believe anyone would have surrounded Longyun Villa. After all, the way of doing things in the government and the world is different.

"Ahem, young master is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people." Meng Shan seemed to be seen through and blushed.

"Sir, don't beat around the bush, just say it if you have something to do." Hu Ye didn't like to go around the bush, and he was still rushing to Nanjing.

"Since the young master is quick to speak, I won't go around the corner." Meng Shan glanced at the door of the tent, then lowered his voice and asked Hu Ye, "Young master is probably going to Nanjing this time, not just to participate in the imperial examination."

"What does this mean by sir?" Hu Ye felt aroused, thinking that this descendant of Mencius might not have known anything.

"Young Master, don't have a puzzle with me. When you go to Nanjing, Your Highness Yan hasn't told you much? Is Your Highness Yan willing to let you, a master, go to Nanjing?" Meng Shan said with a smile.

"What do you want to say?" Hu Ye looked at Meng Shan coldly. He believed that with Meng Shan's ability, he would never be considered a thousand households. Could it be that this guy deliberately did not want to be promoted?

"What I want to say is whether you decide to stand on the side of King Yan or the side of the crown prince." Meng Shan said word by word.

It was Hu Ye's turn now. Unexpectedly, Meng Shan could see so clearly that the power struggle in the Ming Dynasty would be between Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen in the future.

"I'm on the side of the Ming Dynasty." Hu Ye was not so stupid that he could clearly show his position. After all, he had not yet figured out Meng Shan's intentions. Although this guy will follow Zhu Di in the future, it is inevitable that history will not be wrong. There are already many history twisted by himself.

"Haha, the young master speaks without any leakage, I admire you very much." Meng Shan laughed, obviously Hu Ye's reaction was not beyond his expectations.

"Sir, I'm just talking about the matter." Hu Ye said without changing his expression.

"Since that's the case, I won't leave more young masters." Meng Shan laughed, then shouted outside the tent, "Come on, send Mr. Hu Ye out of the military camp."

Hu Ye stood up and looked at Meng Shan for a few more times, thinking that this person was so mysterious. He had been staying in Qianhu's position, so it would definitely not be that simple.

Then Hu Ye bowed to Meng Shan, then left the camp, rode Hongchen and followed Lao Qian's carriage out of Meng Shan's military camp.
