The Jiaozhi City Gate is controlled by Wohua Mountain, but travel has become the norm.

Just because he learned that the surroundings were not peaceful recently, several commanders of Wohua Mountain had happened to Pang Lu, the governor of the Qin Dynasty, in the Jiaozhi Plain, which made the people in the army panic, so they closed a city gate and guarded the pedestrians by heavy soldiers.

In fact, there are not many pedestrians going out at this time, except for some caravans and large chariots and horses, almost no dare to go out to play on this cusp, although the epidemic has not been infected in Jiaozhi City, but all kinds of news have confirmed that Sihai City has fallen into a dead place, can attack and kill people silently, how can people not be afraid?

Two people as a guard, a coachman, and a four-horse carriage with red flags and treasures appeared in front of the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city did not relax their vigilance, and asked with halberds: "Who is coming, where is it from, and why are you coming to Jiaozhi City?"

Huang Zhong was about to teach this soldier who didn't know etiquette, but was stopped by Meng Jianyan, he slowly walked out of the carriage, glanced around the defense on the city wall, and sighed lightly: "It seems that the city defense of Jiaozhi City has indeed fallen into the hands of Wohua Mountain, but now the city defense is much stronger than before." ”

The soldiers guarding the city surrounded him, although he saw that Meng Qiyan was extraordinary, but because the matter of defending the city could not be played, one of them stepped forward again and arched his hand: "This gentleman, I don't know where he came from? Because of the mountains and forests in the north, Jiaozhi City is now in a semi-closed state, and everyone entering and entering must be strictly checked. ”

"Oh, a soldier has such knowledge, it seems that Wohua Mountain is really developing well. Meng Jianyan was slightly surprised, and said to the soldier: "I am Meng Jianyan, I don't know if you let me enter this Jiaozhi City?"

It was just the simplest introduction, and Meng Jianyan did not mention his identity, but which of the soldiers present did not know, and how could a person who could call himself by his name so simply could be an ordinary person? In the Qin Dynasty, there were three generals who were respected by all the people and respected by all the people, and they were military generals, and even if the prince met him, he had to bow down, and he did not have to pay homage to the emperor in the court, and he could be cut first and then played in his territory, and who would dare to pretend to be such an identity?

As everyone knows, the generalissimo of the eastern soldiers and horses of the Qin Dynasty is called Meng Jianyan, although these soldiers are all soldiers in the Wohua Mountain region, but for this title is like thunder. There are only a handful of martial arts masters in the Qin Dynasty who can reach the rank of nine ranks, and it has to be said that it is something to boast about when they can see it today.

The soldier who asked out loud looked shocked, although he boasted that he was very measured in handling some things, but in the face of such a big Buddha, he actually felt a natural fear, so that he could not be just. Just as he was speechless, there was a sound of footsteps on the city wall, and I saw Liang Jin, Luo Hu, and Meng Lang standing on it, staring at this scene.

Meng Jianyan also noticed the appearance of Liang Jin and the three of them in an instant, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at Liang Jin without speaking.

Liang Jin suddenly said: "Open the city gate and welcome the generalissimo of the eastern soldiers and horses to enter the city!"

Although it is highly likely that Meng Jianyan will cause damage to their city defenses, although Meng Jianyan is essentially their enemy, there is no reason for Liang Jin to keep his door closed, if he really annoys this martial arts master, he is afraid that they will all suffer. Moreover, when Meng Zhenyan, who was in the ninth rank, came here, he definitely did not intend to conquer them by force, but had more important matters to deal with, and he did not dare to delay, nor could he delay.

The city gate slowly opened, and Meng Qiyan got into the carriage, not intending to stop here, but just smiled at Liang Jin warmly, and got into the carriage.

Liang Jin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, although it was not enough to make him completely relaxed, but at least he had a good start with the first step.

"Pass on my order, still secretly follow my plan, although Meng Qiyan's main target when he came to Jiaozhi City was Yangta Feng, we can't let our guard down. If there is a sudden change in the situation, we will not be so passive that we cannot move. ”

"Lao Jin, do you need this? You must know that Jiaozhi City is much more solid than the city defense of Sihai City, and we have a lot of spies hidden in Jiaozhi City, and there is no way to compare with Sihai City, which is still under construction and restoration. ”

"For some reason, I always felt uneasy, and I was unsettled about this war, for the generals who should or should not die. These arrangements are made only for the sake of prevention, and it is always right to make some arrangements in moderation. ”

This conversation sank into the thick walls of Jiaozhi City, an important city in the southwest of the Qin Dynasty, which had been standing in the world for nearly a hundred years, guarding the people of this city, and it seemed that it could hold out for many years.

Meng Qiyan's car drove straight to the city lord's mansion, although he dared to use a four-horse carriage to drive it was already a taboo for officials, but there was no honor guard behind him, so it did not attract the attention of the people. The spies who hid in the crowd and kept a close eye on the events in the city were the first to know the news, and they passed it on to their own forces.

In the Qianfeng Inn, Chang An looked at the news of the secret agent for a long time; in the city lord's mansion, Yang Tafeng had already received the news and stood at the gate of the mansion to receive it in person; and the poisonous dragon who received the news at the latest, the letter detective outside Jiaozhi City had already sent the news to him, but everyone was quite puzzled by Meng Jianyan's actions.

Yang Ta Feng bowed to greet him, Meng Jianyan walked out of the carriage, just glanced at Yang Ta Feng, and walked straight into the mansion, Huang Zhong and the three of them followed behind, Yang Ta Feng had to walk at the end with a wry smile.

The mansion has already arranged a banquet to receive the wind, and for the first time in this thrifty mansion, there is a scene where dozens of extravagant dishes gather at a table, but because it is to welcome the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, this kind of dignity is a must, although Yangta Feng is not very respected in his heart.

Meng Zhenyan looked cold, sat down casually, and said to Huang Zhong and the others: "You three, eat something, other things, eat enough first." ”

Huang Zhong and the others hesitated slightly, then sat down on the side and began to feast.

Meng Yanyan glanced at Yang Tafeng, who didn't know where to sit, didn't want to pay attention to it, and took a few dishes to take a leisurely time.

Yang Tafeng knew that this was Meng Qiyan deliberately hanging him, and he didn't say anything else, so he retreated and followed him, leaving only a few maid ring guards, bowing down and standing aside.

After about ten minutes, after Meng Zhenyan and the three generals were full, Yang Tafeng observed his words and said to his entourage: "Come on, bring out a few jars of good wine in my mansion and pour them for the generalissimo and the three generals." ”

Meng Jianyan waved his hand and said, "No need, since I want to talk about business, I shouldn't drink alcohol, could it be that the Lord of the Sheep Tower Wind City wants me to commit a taboo?"

"Weichen doesn't dare!" Yang Tafeng lowered his body again and said with his head bowed.

Meng Qiyan said: "I have long heard that the Lord of Yangta Wind City has a very high prestige in Jiaozhi City and is deeply loved by the people, not only because the Lord of Yangta Wind City has purged the original three overlord families, but also implemented new policies in the main city of Jiaozhi and the three vassal cities, making Jiaozhi City more and more prosperous, but is there such a thing?"

Yang Tafeng said: "Back to the generalissimo, the people's comments Weichen don't know, but the livelihood of the people in the city is much better than before, the three overlord families in the past endangered the people, and they should have been cut by a thousand knives, but fortunately, now there are no three overlord families in Jiaozhi City, and it is naturally a lot more prosperous." ”

Meng Qiyan nodded, and didn't have the idea to continue on this topic, but said: "I also heard that you have always been very frugal, and the simplicity of the scenery in this mansion makes me look at each other, in this case, you shouldn't waste our unfinished meals, right?"

Yang Tafeng was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Meng Zhenyan to say such a thing, wanting him to eat the leftovers used by the four of them, which was extremely insulting, but after hesitating for a moment, Yang Tafeng approached the table, found an empty bowl, and ate the vegetables at will, it seemed that this kind of scene was a common thing.

A few minutes later, Yang Ta Feng began to arrange people to clean the leftovers on the table, all kinds of instructions, and did not forget to tell the subordinates to give the poultry to which household if they really can't use it up, Yang Ta Feng did a good job in terms of frugality.

After sitting down again, Yang Tafeng was not afraid to speak because of his status, and after pouring tea for Meng Jianyan in person, he said: "I have long known that the generalissimo is very good at drinking, and I have several jars of fine wine today, why not indulge in drinking today?"

Mentioning the matter of drinking again, I don't know if Yang Tafeng did it casually, or if he could do it, Meng Qiyan raised his eyebrows, did not hide his emotions anymore, and said coldly: "That's true, if it was other times, I should drink a few more jars of wine, but not today, because many people died today, and I have no appetite." ”

Yang Tafeng said: "Drinking alcohol can get rid of the smell of blood, since the person is dead, there is no other way to redeem it, why not be a fool?"

Meng Jianyan looked up to the sky and laughed, stared at Yang Tafeng's eyes, and said, "Let me ask you, do you know about the attack outside Jiaozhi City?"

Yang Ta Feng said: "I know." ”

Meng Jianyan said: "Then why don't you send troops to help?"

Yangta Feng said: "I received the news that it was already when the generalissimo was about to enter the city, and I couldn't rescue the generalissimo, not to mention, the current Jiaozhi City is not my city, and all the city defenses are managed by the generals of Wohua Mountain. ”

Meng Zhenyan said: "You have found a lot of reasons for yourself, but no matter what, you didn't come to rescue me after all, as an official of the Qin Dynasty, don't you feel derelict in your duty?"

Yang Tafeng said: "The generalissimo's words are too much, the duty of the official should be the people, not other officials, I am now carrying the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor Qin to guard Jiaozhi City, in my eyes is naturally the largest among the people, even if there is a war in the outside world, there are naturally soldiers and horses from all over the country to deal with it, and I am a small city lord who can't change anything." Besides, I am convinced that the strength of the generalissimo can be injured by a few ordinary people?"

Meng Zhenyan snorted coldly and said, "You have shirked all kinds of responsibilities, it seems that more than a hundred of my honor guards have died in vain, even if the corpses are separated, it is impossible for anyone to sympathize with them." ”

Yang Tafeng said with a smile: "The generalissimo is too worried, the dead will naturally not die in vain, in my Jiaozhi City, if someone dares to do something domineering again, I will definitely not spare it." I believe that the generalissimo should be like this, if he finds the murderer who participated in the attack, he will definitely not let it go, otherwise the generalissimo will have no reason for this trip. ”

Meng Jianyan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the city lord of Jiaozhi City would have such a scheming, and he seemed to know the truth of the matter when he heard the words, but even if he knew, he had no way to escape, because this was a seemingly simple and straightforward thing, and he hardly needed anyone to point out.

Meng Jianyan said: "Do I need a reason for this trip? I was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor of Qin to leave the Eastern Territory and come to the Jiaozhi region to learn about the construction of cities in this area.

Yang Tafeng said: "What does the generalissimo mean that Weichen has delayed the generalissimo's official business? Just imagine a city lord whose city has been captured by mountain bandits, and he has the heart to attack and kill the generalissimo of the eastern soldiers and horses that marks the strongest combat power today, how many people believe it?"

Meng Zhenyan said: "In the current era, there are not many strong people, I once received news that in your Jiaozhi City, there was once a nine-stage martial arts master, you shouldn't have a way to deny this, right?"

Yang Tafeng's eyes were slightly cold, and he said: "Even so, what can it say? It's like the generalissimo also appeared in my Jiaozhi City, can it mean that the generalissimo is my subordinate?"

"Bold, how dare you be rude to the marshal?" Huang Zhong and the three of them on the side, Huo Ran stepped forward, and the blade in his hand had already been withdrawn.

Yang Tafeng was not afraid, and he stepped forward and said, "I'm just reasoning!"

"Stand back!" Meng Jianyan snorted softly, and Huang Zhong and the three of them withdrew backwards without saying anything, absolute obedience to Meng Jianyan was their basic quality as a general in the east.

Meng Qiyan looked at Yangta Feng, and his eyes began to change: "I underestimated you a little, I originally thought that you were just an ordinary city lord, able to use tactics as usual, able to survive in the cracks of many forces, and even expelled the three major overlord families who were originally powerful, how could such a person who knew how to hibernate be a general?

"Weichen doesn't dare!" Yang Tafeng bowed his head again and said: "Weichen is now the city lord of Jiaozhi City, representing the interests of Jiaozhi City, if I have a problem, Jiaozhi City will not be stable, so I must ensure my own safety." ”

Meng Jianyan walked past Yang Ta Feng, was confronted by Yang Ta Feng, and said: "Have you forgotten? In the past, the blood red agate was lost, and you even sat on the crime, and the capital city had already deposed your position, and the reason why you were able to sit firmly in the position of the city lord of Jiaozhi City was because of the support of someone!"

Yang Tafeng's voice was also low, although he knew that he might have provoked Meng Qiyan, but he still said in a solemn voice: "Is the generalissimo acknowledging the relationship with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?"

A word is a sin!

Meng Qiyan's whole face was also gloomy, although he boasted that he had done a lot of things, but he never thought that he would lose to a small city lord in refutation, which made his face difficult to reveal, and after a short silence, Meng Qiyan sat down again.

"You are really a good city lord, if you were in peacetime, you should be able to be a good official. Meng Jianyan said.

Yang Tafeng still did not relax his vigilance, and only said: "The generalissimo has passed the award, and the ministers are afraid that they will not be able to manage the people of this city well, and they will not be able to live and work in peace and contentment, so they have not slept well for fifteen years." ”

"However, it is not peaceful now, but a troubled world!" Meng Qiyan seemed to point out, looked straight at Yangta Feng, and said: "If you want to end this kind of scene, you can't do it with the ideal of a city lord, and you are not the only one in this Qin Dynasty who really thinks about the people." ”

Yang Tafeng paused and said, "These words are very similar to what a person said, the deputy governor of Jinlin under the governor of Panglu, he also said so, I wonder if the generalissimo has a connection with the governor of Panglu?"

Meng Jianyan said: "They are both Qin generals, so they naturally have a connection. ”

Yang Tafeng said: "The generalissimo's words seem to mean that the generalissimo and the governor of Panglu have some schemes, the same scheme?"

Meng Xiayan looked at Yangtafeng deadly, and said gloomily: "I have to say, although you are only a city lord, your vision is extremely sharp, and there should be no problem for you to be the guardian of a county." ”

Yang Tafeng said: "This is to raise the micro-minister, my ideal is just to protect Jiaozhi City, and I have no other ideas." When I was deposed by the Qin Dynasty, I was naturally grateful to the one who helped me keep this position. However, this does not mean that I can betray the people of Jiaozhi City with my conscience. ”

Meng Jianyan said: "Jin Lin should have told you that the kind of thing he wants, you have it in the treasury, and I will take it away today, whether you agree or not." This is the big thing of His Highness, you can't refuse, maybe you think you're right, but for the sake of the overall situation of the world, you have no choice. ”

Yang Tafeng had a painful look on his face, he hesitated again and again, and said to Meng Jianyan: "I don't want to know your plan, but what did the previous city lord do about that kind of thing, the generalissimo should be very clear, it's not that I can't agree to your plan, but I don't dare, the fourth prince has huge ambitions, what he wants is not the Qin Dynasty, but the whole world." ”

Meng Jianyan said coldly: "It's all said to this extent, do you still want to keep your opinion? So, if it is related to his life, do you care?"

I saw Meng Jinyan casually throw out a flying knife and shoot towards the roof, only to hear a bang, the roof seemed to have exploded, and suddenly there were countless sounds of gold and iron, and then countless tiles fell, and four figures fell together, and the one in the middle was a blessing.

Huang Zhong and the three of them quickly surrounded each other, cooperating with the other three to surround Zhu Wu in the middle, while Meng Zhenyan on the side slowly pulled out the short knife of the guards on the side, pointed at Zhu Wu, and said: "You didn't show up when you assassinated Liu Qidun, but now that you have appeared, do you think I can't kill you? ”

Obviously, these are all Meng Jianyan's people, but they have been hidden in the shadows, no one notices, and now Zhu Wu and Meng Jianyan are in confrontation, Zhu Wu has said before that there is no possibility of defeating Meng Jianyan, and now there are several martial arts masters who have made a move, and he has no way to live at all.

Zhu Yu shouted loudly and said, "Don't worry about me, you just make your own decisions." Seeing this formation, it seemed that he was about to launch an offensive immediately, Yang Tafeng clenched his teeth, turned his back, and shouted: "Generalissimo, take the things!"

Meng Zhenyan showed a smile and said, "Okay, the conditions are still what Jin Lin said before, Ling Tongzhi, your identity will also be revealed by me." ”

It's a deal, but the insiders don't have a choice.

It was only known that the carriage drove by and carried a batch of goods from the city treasury, and no one knew about it.
