The mountain wind howls and the moonlight is melancholy.
The firewood made a "Bieber" sound in the flames. The two sat beside the fire, looking at the stars in the sky, each thinking quietly.
"General Meng Yi, what kind of person is the Emperor?" After a long time, Princess Yushu spoke quietly again.
Meng Yi was silent. Just when Yu Shu thought he would not answer this question, he slowly said: "His Majesty Zeng Weijiahai is a truly wise king through the ages."
After a slight pause, Meng Yi continued: "But now, he is just an old man who is suspicious and afraid of death."
In Meng Yi's fragmentary memory, the First Emperor began to seek immortality six years ago and wanted to live forever. For this reason, he even abandoned state affairs and ignored the affairs of the state. Prince Fusu spoke out and remonstrated, and was actually sent to Shangjun to build the Great Wall.
After these two incidents of burning books and harassing Confucian scholars and banishing young master Fusu, criticism has been far away from the temple, and the voice of flattery has become the only voice in the government and the public. Such as the young master Hu Hai who is good at asking for tricks, Zhao Gao, who is sweet-talking and has a sword.
There was a cunning and cunning Prime Minister Li Si who made the court a mess.
Meng Yi is a soldier. He has never been good at speaking and has never been involved in government affairs. He is sincerely disappointed that His Majesty has favored traitors and sycophants in recent years, but he just buries it in his heart and never shows it.
Princess Yushu was very surprised, hesitated slightly, and said: "General Meng Yi said this...don't you think it is an unreasonable opinion of your Majesty?"
Meng Yi smiled lightly and said: "So be it."
He also felt strange that in his memory, he should be loyal to the First Emperor to the point of fanaticism, but in fact he could not be respectful at all.
He even felt that he and the First Emperor should be on an equal footing.
Princess Yushu looked at Meng Yi, suddenly smiled and said: "General Meng Yi, don't worry, I won't tell anyone what you just said."
Meng Yi said nonchalantly: "Thank you."
"Although I have suffered a lot today, it is the happiest day I have ever had." Princess Yushu looked up at the stars with a quiet smile on her lips, "There is no restraint of court etiquette, nor the restraint of superiority and inferiority. This
It’s a really great feeling.”
Meng Yi turned his head and glanced at her, slightly startled.
There seemed to be a starry sky hidden in Yu Shu's eyes.
"It's a pity that after today, this feeling will never happen again..." Yu Shu said softly, she also turned her head and boldly looked at Meng Yi, "Meng Yi, thank you for giving me one more
The feeling of freedom at night.”
She didn't call him General again.
Meng Yi looked at Yu Shu, and then said after a while: "That's not necessary, I mainly do it for that beast."
"..." Yu Shu looked helpless, "Don't say that, don't take away this feeling."
"Ouch..."
The hanging insect let out a sad whimper.
Yu Shu looked up and suddenly laughed.
At this moment, it was like a hundred flowers blooming, so beautiful.
Meng Yi looked at Yu Shu intently, without blinking.
Yu Shu understood Meng Yi's eyes, couldn't help but blush slightly, and lowered his head.
"Meng Yi, let me dance for you." She said softly.
Meng Yi suddenly came to his senses. He stood up and walked towards the forest. Without looking back, he said: "Princess, please rest early."
Yu Shu was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly turned pale, and the brilliance in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
The wind seemed to have calmed down a bit. Meng Yi walked into the forest and his figure disappeared into the darkness.
A night of silence.
Early on the next morning, at dawn, Meng Yi walked out of the forest carrying a dead deer. Yu Shu was curled up by the fire, sleeping soundly.
The tiger still spread its limbs and tilted its head, with a lifeless expression. When Meng Yi came back, it just opened its eyes slightly.
Meng Yi smiled, threw down the dead deer, suddenly Cang Lang drew his sword, jumped up, and swung the sword four times, cutting off all the vines in an instant.
"Ouch!"
The feeling of weightlessness made the tiger suddenly startled, screamed, and fell heavily to the ground.
After the tiger got up, one person and the other tiger looked at each other in silence for a long time. Meng Yi threw the dead deer in front of the tiger.
"Ho! Roar!" The tiger roared at Meng Yi twice, then buried its head and began to bite the deer carcass.
After burning the incense, Meng Yi supported Yu Shu and rode on the tiger's back again.
This time, the tiger just twisted uneasily and made no more unnecessary movements.
Meng Yi felt much happier. He climbed on the tiger's back and patted the tiger's neck: "Let's go!"
"Roar!"
The tiger roared low and started running.
An hour later, two people and one tiger appeared outside the gate of Anyi County.
The defenders at the city gate saw a giant insect running towards them from a distance and were so frightened that they quickly closed the city gate.
It wasn't until Meng Yi arrived at the city and helped Yu Shu that he took out his talisman and threw it directly onto the city wall.
A general on the city wall took the talisman in his hand, glanced at it, and his expression suddenly changed: "General Meng! It's General Meng!"
"General Meng is actually riding a big insect!"
"He is indeed the most powerful general in our Great Qin Dynasty! General Meng is truly a god!"
There was an uproar on the city wall, and the soldiers were very excited and talking about it.
Soon, the city gate opened again, and a heroic young general drove his horse over. However, half way through, the horse refused to step forward even after being beaten to death.
The young general had no choice but to dismount and stand far away from Meng Yi. He first glanced at Meng Yi who was riding on the back of the tiger, with a look of horror and awe in his eyes. He quickly bowed respectfully and said: "General Shen Xingzhi, please see General Meng!
"
Meng Yi rode on the tiger and calmly ordered: "Prepare the carriage, lead a hundred cavalry, and follow me into Xianyang."
"Yes, General!"
Half an hour later, a group of cavalry, surrounded by a carriage, galloped down the road and headed towards Xianyang.
Yu Shu opened the curtains of the carriage and stared blankly at Meng Yi, who was riding a tiger and running at the front. He looked all the way.
Four hours later, Xianyang City was already in sight.
On the tower of the east gate of Xianyang City, a middle-aged general frowned after listening to his subordinates' report, and said in shock: "Meng Yi is riding a big insect? Are you sure you read that correctly?"
"General Zhao, what I saw is absolutely true! General Meng is indeed riding a big insect, and he is extremely majestic."
General Zhao looked gloomy and asked again: "Where is the princess of Tu'an? Is she there?"
"There is a carriage in the military formation, and I think the person sitting in it is Princess Tu'an."
boom!
General Zhao spoke in a solemn tone, gritting his teeth and said: "What a man, Meng Yi, he is just showing off and asking for credit from Your Majesty!"
He thought for a while and then ordered his subordinates: "Close the city gate first and never let anyone out! I will report this to the Prime Minister!"
At the same time, Fisher and the Dream Stealing team were also escorted by county soldiers and almost arrived outside Xianyang City.
