The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1089
[Chapter 1089 Meng Tian]
What Meng Tian didn’t know was that it was this action that changed his life drastically.
“What’s your surname? How should I address you?”
Lin Tian said to the old man when Meng Tian was leading Lin Tian and others home.
“What senior? I’m just an old man in a small mountain village. You can just call me Meng Tian or Grandpa Meng.”
Meng Tian said to Lin Tian kindly.
“I see you are alone in this deep mountain. It’s late now and your family hasn’t come to look for you. Grandpa Meng, do you live alone?”
Lin Tian continued to chat with Meng Tian.
“Yes, my son and daughter-in-law have…”
After hearing Lin Tian’s question, Meng Tian seemed to remember some sad things in the past, and his expression was full of pain.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have mentioned it.”
Although Lin Tian knew about Meng Tian’s deeds a long time ago, he wanted to know about his family situation. But seeing that he had triggered Meng Tian’s sad things, he quickly apologized to Meng Tian.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s all over.”
After hearing Lin Tian’s apology, Meng Tian waved his hand at Lin Tian and tried to show some ease on his face.
Lin Tian wanted to ask more about Meng Tian, but Chen Huifang grabbed his arm and he shut up.
Ling Tian and Chen Huifang followed Meng Tian to Meng Tian’s home, and Lin Tian saw a desolate scene. There were
three thatched houses, and outside was a fence made of bamboo, which enclosed a piece of open space in front of two thatched houses. There were
some wild vegetables that were seen every day on the open space, and there were some chickens and ducks in the yard.
“I can only wrong you. My home is simple, and there are no hotels or the like in this small village. If you don’t mind, you can stay here for one night.”
Meng Tian said to Lin Tian and the others.
Lin Tian nodded, and then continued to follow Mou Tian to the yard.
“There are only three houses in my house, so I can only wrong you two little brothers to squeeze in for one night.”
Meng Tian took Lin Tian and him to the door of the room, and said to the guards Ying and Lie at the same time.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, the two of them often go out together.”
Lin Tian quickly replied politely.
“Then you take a rest first. You must be hungry after such a long journey. I will prepare some food for you.”
Meng Tian wanted to leave, so he said to Lin Tian and the others.
“No, no, it’s already very annoying to stay at your home now. How dare I bother you again?”
Lin Tian stopped Meng Tian and said at the same time.
“Little brother, I don’t think you are locals. Where are you from?”
Meng Tian saw that he couldn’t get away, so he led Lin Tian to the main room, poured tea for Lin Tian and Chen Huifang, and asked Lin Tian at the same time.
“To be honest, we are from Yan State.”
After hearing Meng Tian’s question, Lin Tian whispered to Meng Tian.
After hearing Lin Tian’s words, Meng Tian was obviously stunned.
“Your Yan State and our Qi State are fighting fiercely now. Why do you still want to risk coming to my Qi State?”
Meng Tian expressed his doubts to Lin Tian.
“Senior, you don’t know that the prime minister of Yan has retired and returned home. I was appointed as the new prime minister by the emperor of Yan. In fact, I don’t want to be this prime minister.”
Lin Tian said helplessly to Meng Tian.
After hearing what Lin Tian said, Meng Tian was stunned at first, then shocked, and then shook his head with a smile.
Lin Tian didn’t understand what Meng Tian meant, so he didn’t say anything, but waited for Lin Tian to continue.
“Little brother is really good at joking.”
Meng Tian said to Lin Tian with a smile.
Although Lin Tian didn’t know whether Meng Tian was pretending, he still felt unfair when he heard Meng Tian’s tone of disbelief.
Of course, Lin Tian wanted to explain, but he didn’t know where to start. He came out this time to avoid the investigation of the emperor of Yan, so he left all the things that proved his identity at home and didn’t bring any with him.
So, he really had no way to explain to Meng Tian now.
“Don’t say that I don’t believe it. Even if you let other people say it, I’m afraid they won’t believe what the little brother said.”
Meng Tian said to Lin Tian again.
“I know that you will definitely not believe me, because my age is here. I am only 20 years old. I am afraid that no one will believe that I can become the prime minister of Yan State at the age of 30.”
After listening to what Meng Tian said, Lin Tian knew why Ming Tian did not believe it, so he said to Meng Tian.
“Then if I say that I came out secretly this time, will you believe it?”
Lin Tian asked Meng Tian again, but all he got was Meng Tian shaking his head.
“I said that I don’t want to be the prime minister of Yan State, even if it is a small official, I don’t want to do it. So I came out this time just to find someone who can take my place.
Before, I heard of a senior by accident, his talent is beyond doubt.
But my friend also happened to know where he is now, so I came all the way to find him. Alas, I have been looking for several days now, but I still haven’t found the senior with outstanding talent. “
Lin Tian sighed and said to Meng Tian. Although the disappointment on the surface was pretended, it seemed very real to Meng Tian.
“Oh? Who are you looking for? What’s his name?”
Meng Tian was very curious, so he asked Lin Tian.
“My friend didn’t tell me his name, he just told me some of his information. My friend said that if I saw him, I would definitely recognize him at a glance.”
Lin Tian heard Meng Tian’s question and answered Meng Tian.
Liuli didn’t say this to Lin Tian. These were deliberately made up by Lin Tian to attract Meng Tian.
“Oh? What information? I often communicate with people in this small mountain village and know some of their general situation. Tell me and I’ll see if I can help you. “
After hearing Lin Tian’s words, Meng Tian wanted to help Lin Tian from the bottom of his heart, so he said to Lin Tian.
Sure enough, Meng Tian was attracted by Lin Tian’s words.
“My friend told me that he was originally from Qi State, but when he was young, he worked for the King of Qin. Now it is time for him to retire and return to his hometown, so he returned to Qi State and hid in a deep mountain.”
Seeing that Meng Tian was so sincere, Lin Tian told him some general information about Meng Tian.
After hearing Lin Tian’s words, Meng Tian was obviously stunned, and couldn’t help thinking in his heart: “Isn’t what he said about some things when I was young?”
