Meng Jia hurried to the west of the city and saw that the battle was over.
Meng Shiwu was watching the soldiers clearing the battlefield.
There were many corpses lying strewn on the ground. They were all dressed in the uniforms of Zhao soldiers, and their weapons were from Zhao. But if you take off the clothes and look at them, you can still see many differences.
Qi is located in the north, and Qi people are generally taller than Zhao people.
The Qi people were good at riding and shooting, and their legs were stronger and stronger. Qi produced more coarse grains, so the Qi people's mandibles were stronger and their teeth were more worn.
In addition, there are many details that show that the identities of these people are unusual.
Meng Shiwu rushed over and whispered to Meng Jia what he saw.
"The priest's wife said that he was buried in a sea of fire, but the way I looked after my family didn't look like it. Or, it would be more accurate to say that I was missing.
The priest was seriously stabbed and the assassin escaped. Fires broke out all over the city. It was these people who set the fire. I felt that it was useless to stay there, so I led a team to pursue these people with the people from the priest's palace.
It turned out that something was very wrong with them. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be from Qi...
After investigation, it was found that two hours ago, a group of cavalry left the city and headed north. The number is unknown, and the people from the Priest Palace are chasing them...Tenth Brother, what should we do?"
Meng Jia was silent for a moment and said: "Since the Palace of Priests is already pursuing us, let's not get involved. We will try our best to clean up the whole city and capture all the suspicious people. Anyone who dares to be accommodating and show favoritism will be killed without mercy!"
He paused and said: "Cooperate with the Priest Palace."
Meng Shishi was slightly surprised: "But..."
Isn't this a critical time to fight for power?
The one goes against the other, letting them focus on the Priest Palace is equivalent to letting the Priest Palace play the leading role in the future. So, what is the purpose of running thousands of miles and fighting to the death?
Meng Jia's pupils shrank and she looked at him quietly and said: "My ambition is just to be a loyal minister and good general. I will listen to whoever is more beneficial to the country."
After saying this, Meng Jia turned around and left, leaving no room for argument.
Meng Shiwu frowned.
Are they just loyal ministers and good generals? But many things they did have long gone beyond the scope of loyal ministers and good generals.
He caught up and grabbed Meng Jia's sleeve, and said sincerely: "Brother Ten, do you think in this world, is there a way for loyal ministers and good generals to survive?"
Meng Jia's eyes were as deep as the sea: "I want to be a loyal minister and good general now! I will fight with anyone who dares to stop me!"
As for the future, it depends on God’s will.
Meng Shiwu thought for a moment and suddenly laughed: "I understand, let them fight, let's just eat meat."
Meng Jia did not refute him, but patted him on the shoulder and said, "Promise me that you will try your best to find her."
"But she..." Meng Shishi wanted to say that she didn't have you in her heart, and even if she found you, it would be meaningless. But when he saw Meng Jia's dark eyes, he finally swallowed the words and said, "Okay."
Mengjia mounted his horse and rushed outside the Priest's Palace.
The sky above the Priest's Palace was filled with smoke and ruins everywhere. He couldn't help but think of the prosperous scene in the past.
Someone came over and raised his head and said, "Isn't this General Meng? What can I do for you?"
Mengjia jumped off his horse and said, "I want to see the priest."
An official from the Priest Palace rushed over and looked at him warily: "General, what do you want?"
Gu Fengbo hurriedly came out: "The priest has given orders to invite General Meng to come in."
"Long time no see." Gu Fenglin lay on the couch and looked at Meng Jia calmly.
