Tian Hu roared, and the Tiger Soul Sword hit the broad blade of the Great Moment Sword. The sky-rocketing blue flames pushed Tian Meng back.
He followed up with another strike with his sword, and Tian Meng, who was blocking horizontally, was immediately suppressed and his legs trembled.
"I have sworn in front of the ancestor of the farm family that whenever I see you again in this life, I will kill you with my own hands!"
"..., big brother."
Tian Hu's thick eyebrows stood upright, his eyes opened wide, and he said "big brother" and used his sword more fiercely to fight to the death.
When Tian Meng heard the word "big brother", his heart was shaken, and he was instantly forced to kneel on one knee.
The Tiger Soul Sword slashed the blade of the large sword, and slashed toward Tian Meng's neck.
"Second brother!"
"Second brother~"
In Li Si Mansion in Xianyang City, Tian Meng roared and opened his eyes suddenly on the bed.
"Heh, heh, second brother,..."
He was breathing heavily, his eyes wandering.
"you're awake."
A gentle female voice sounded next to him, and Tian Meng felt his right hand being grasped tightly by a pair of warm and soft hands, and his eyes gradually became focused.
"Uh, ah..."
He turned his head slightly and saw clearly the face of the woman on his right. She had an oval face, skin like cream, eyebrows like smoke, and bright eyes like water.
"Quiet, I'm still alive."
Tian Jin blinked, pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
"Father!"
There was another crisp voice next to him that was extremely excited. Tian Meng exhaled and moved his lips, "Aci, hehe, it seems that I am really still alive."
"Father, the imperial doctor's order has said that you are out of danger. As long as you recover for a year and a half, you will be completely fine."
Tian Ci stared at his father's face, grinning in a naive manner.
Tian Meng looked at the faces of his wife and son, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and then he closed his eyes again.
Second brother, if it was me who died then...
"Tian Meng, you're awake."
At this time, Li Si walked in quickly from outside, and Tian Qui and Tian Ci quickly stood up and called "Your Majesty the Prime Minister."
"How are you? How does your body feel?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir. If you didn't ask for the imperial doctor's order, Tian Meng would be afraid. Alas, Chen Sheng, the farmer's six masters, really underestimated him."
Tian Meng is not qualified to learn the secret skills of the peasants. Since the six elders died in the battle at Yandi Mountain, I wonder if these six secret skills have been succeeded now.
Chen Sheng has practiced the master swordsmanship of the elder soldier, the rest of the sword skills, footwork, fingering skills, palm skills, and the special physical fitness method that is invulnerable to all poisons. If these inheritances are cut off, then...
In the battle at Yandi Mountain, the second brother Tian Hu finally died in the battle. In the past few years, Tian Meng often dreamed of returning to the scene of that battle.
"Even if I die today without a complete body, I am still the leader of the peasant family."
He had nothing to say about Tian Hu's choice.
If the positions were reversed, he knew that he would not be able to mount a resistance that was destined to fail like Tian Hu did.
Going with the flow and adjusting to the wind. This is probably what he has been like for half of his life.
And the current results seem to prove that his choice was wiser than that of Zhida Hu.
Li Si is already at the pinnacle of the empire's power, and Tian Meng is an important confidant that Li Si relies on, holding the power of the net.
He has a beautiful, gentle and intelligent wife, and a son who is extremely talented and obedient. Compared with those who have struggled to resist Qin until now, Tian Meng is undoubtedly the winner in life.
However, when he dreamed back again and again, he did not dare to face his biological brother Tian Hu.
Li Si could see that Tian Meng's energy was still relatively low, so he didn't say much. He only told Tian Jin and Tian Ci to take good care of them, and left after saying a few words of relief.
"According to the imperial doctor's order, you need to recuperate for at least half a year. During these six months, you can also spend time with their mother and son."
"Yes, Prime Minister."
"Um."
"Sir, walk slowly."
After walking out of Tian Meng's family, Li Si looked up at today's sun, put his hand on his forehead and said to himself: "In worldly terms, I, Li Si, have probably been more successful than you in the past twenty years. Lu Yan
Junior brother."
With a career that has flourished and a happy family, Li Si has gone from a humble family to today in more than 20 years. There is no doubt that Li Si's life is a legend worth writing.
As for Lu Yan, if nothing else, he disappeared for ten years and was not allowed to see his family, and he had no children. In terms of family, he could not compare with Li Si.
As for career, benevolent people have different opinions and wise people have different opinions.
…
Shangjun
Young Master Fusu, dressed in plain clothes, sat in the main seat in the tent with a pair of deep dark circles under his eyes. To his left and right, Meng Tian, Su Lie, Chen Ping, and Ji Bu were all present.
The atmosphere in the camp was eerily quiet.
"Eighteen, ahem, please take a look at His Majesty the Emperor's edict."
Fusu's voice was unusually dry. He rolled up the edict and first handed it to Meng Tian.
Meng Tian stepped forward and bent down to take the edict with both hands. When he opened it and looked at it, his brows became more and more wrinkled.
"My eldest son, get rid of the evil deeds. This..."
Meng Tian was wearing armor, and his chest was visibly rising and falling. He handed the edict to Chen Ping opposite him, then sat back on his seat, "His Majesty the Emperor really has high hopes for the eldest son."
Chen Ping and Ji Bu read the edict together and looked at each other with different expressions.
"Formally appoint the eldest son as the supervisor of the army to assist the general Meng Tian in governing the northern land and eradicating the Hu trouble. This seems to be a helpless title for the eldest son, but in fact it implies a calculation. Hu trouble is a universal excuse."
Ji Bu was indignant and immediately made his dissatisfaction known.
It had been several months since he had followed Fusu to Shangjun. As a "general", Ji Bu had a completely different understanding of the barbarians on the border than written records.
The so-called "eliminate the evil spirits" is simply a slogan, just like "The Qin Dynasty will be victorious", which can be used to express determination to win.
But if you want to truly "win the Qin Dynasty" and "eliminate the barbaric problem", it is simply an unimaginable and impossible undertaking.
Previously, Xianyang summoned the eldest son back to carry the coffin of His Majesty the First Emperor, but who knows if Fusu will stay in Xianyang forever after returning to Xianyang.
So Fusu used the late emperor's legacy as an excuse to block Xianyang's edict.
But now Xianyang came to send an edict, praised Fusu greatly, and formally handed over the northern region to Fusu for governance.
Meng Tian holds 300,000 troops from the Northland Army. Anyway, the Northland is actually under Meng Tian's control. Why not throw Fusu generously onto Mengtian's head and hold him high in the air.
Once Fusu failed to do what he said, abide by the late emperor's instructions and guard the border for Da Qin, Xianyang would have an excuse to deal with Meng Tian and Fusu in the future.
"General Mengtian, Chen Ping believes that we should quickly order all places to strengthen prevention against the prairie wolves and raise their alerts."
Meng Tian's eyebrows moved, and his pupils suddenly widened a lot.
Fusu asked: "Chen Ping, what did you think of?"
Chen Ping nodded, "I hope Chen Ping's guess is wrong. I suspect that someone in Xianyang Court is colluding with the Prairie Wolf Clan."
"What! Ahem~"
Fusu was furious in an instant. He roared half loudly but then coughed violently, "Chen Ping, do you have any basis for saying that?"
Chen Ping glanced at Meng Tian and found that the latter was calm as usual, knowing that Meng Tian must have agreed with his suspicion.
"My eldest son, the most important thing for the empire at this time is to quell the rebellions in various countries in Shandong. Therefore, for the eldest son and General Meng Tian, His Majesty the Emperor should give priority to appeasing him. As for the insurmountable grassland barbarians, at this time,
The empire should also adopt a conservative strategy and never be radical.
However, the edict coming from Xianyang has a certain meaning, encouraging the eldest son to actively use troops on the grassland. If this happens, either Xianyang is stupid, ahem, or it has been premeditated."
It must be like this, there is something wrong within the Qin court!
Moreover, His Majesty the First Emperor discovered a problem but had no way of solving it.
That's why he drove Mr. Fusu to the Northland in advance with an almost decisive attitude.
But now, the young prince Hu Hai has succeeded to the throne, and those hidden problems are being exposed.
Mr. Fusu, His Majesty the First Emperor really has high hopes for you.
Chen Ping now has a stronger intuition that his guess is the truth.
