Meng Tian heard a little sound in his sleep, and as a reaction of a soldier and a martial artist, he woke up from his sleep in an instant. It turned out to be Zi Yanran who opened the door and came in, and the sound made when she opened the door. Before Zi Yanran opened the door and entered the house, she saw that Meng Tian had already sat up from the bed, and seeing that Meng Tian reacted so quickly, she was also a person who practiced martial arts, and she really rushed to admire.

Seeing that it was Zi Yanran, Meng Tian exhaled and said, "What time is it, are your father and your uncle back?"

Zi Yanran entered the room and took out a large piece of barbecue meat from behind her, which looked like it should be the hind leg of a goat, the leg of mutton was still steaming, and salt was sprinkled on the surface, it looked like it should have been freshly roasted. Zi Yanran nodded, put the barbecue in her hand in the bowl on the table, and said, "It's unitary time now." No, this is the wild goat that my father shot today, you taste it first, and after you have eaten it, I will take you to my father and my uncle. ”

Meng Tian stood up, walked to the window, and saw that it was already dark outside the house, and there were already many people in the open space outside, and a fire had been lit in the center of the clearing, and there seemed to be something roasting on the fire. Meng Tian walked to the table, picked up the roast goat meat on the table and ate it.

Zi Yanran saw Meng Tian pick up the goat meat and put it in her mouth, and said with a smile: "You're not afraid that I will poison this meat?"

Meng Tian shook his head, bit a piece of goat meat, and said, "I'm not afraid, because I believe that you won't harm me, and besides, you have a chance to harm me all the way during the day, why did you drag me here to kill." After speaking, he swallowed the meat in his mouth and took another big bite.

Zi Yanran listened to Meng Tian's words, and saw that he was not guarding himself, and she was naturally very happy in her heart. Seeing Meng Tian eat all the wild boar meat he brought, Zi Yanran stood up and took out her handkerchief and handed it to Meng Tian, motioning for him to wipe the oil stains on his mouth.

Meng Tian took Zi Yanran's handkerchief, only to see that the purple coarse cloth handkerchief was embroidered with a purple character with white silk thread, and when it was brought to his mouth, he could still smell a fragrance on it. Meng Tian took the handkerchief and wiped it lightly on the side of his mouth, but he didn't return it to Zi Yanran after wiping it, "I'm sorry, Purple Girl, I stained your handkerchief, and when I return to Xianyang in the future, I will definitely give the girl the best handkerchief in the world." ”

Zi Yanran originally wanted to get her handkerchief back, but when she saw Meng Tian say this, she had to hurriedly say: "It's okay General Meng, it's just a handkerchief, I don't mind, the general just give me back the handkerchief, I'll wash it myself." ”

Meng Tian did not return the handkerchief, but stuffed it into his armor, and said at the same time: "Miss Zi, please rest assured, Meng Tian will definitely say that this handkerchief will be a gift from the girl." ”

Zi Yanran saw that Meng Tian had no intention of returning the handkerchief to herself, so she stopped asking him for it and let him go. Zi Yanran got up from her seat and walked out of the door, saying, "Let's go, I'll take you to see my father." ”

Meng Tian followed Zi Yanran out of the room and walked towards the square. As soon as he got out of the house, Meng Tian found that there were really many people in the open space, everyone was gathered in the center of the fire, and tables and chairs had been set up around them, women and children walked through the middle to serve food and wine to the men sitting at the table drinking, and the men were gathering in groups to drink, chatting, and some people were even starting to make fists. Zi Yanran led Meng Tian through the lively crowd and walked towards the door of the stone house, where a slightly larger wooden table was placed, and there were four people sitting next to the table, two of them sitting side by side, and the other two sitting opposite each other.

The two sitting side by side must have been her father and uncle. Meng Tian thought to himself.

Walking to the table, Zi Yanran bowed to the four people sitting and said, "Father, second uncle, Yanran brought someone over to you." Then he turned back to Meng Tian and said, "This is what I told you about Meng Tian." Meng Tian, this is my father, and this is my second uncle. One of these two is our eldest grandfather Alimu here, and the other is our doctor here, Huliza, and these two are no less famous in our cottage than my father and my uncle. ”

Meng Tian stepped forward and bowed down to the four of them, "In the Lower Qin State, Meng Tian, the general of the Mengjia Army, has seen four elders. ”

Zi Yanran's father nodded and said, "General Meng doesn't need to be polite, Yanran has already told us everything you did today, the old man thanks you for your kindness to Yanran, otherwise my old injury may recur again tonight." Okay, Yanran, you go and move two more chairs and let General Meng sit down and talk. ”

Zi Yanran turned around and walked to the side, leaving only Meng Tian standing in place. Zi Yanran's second uncle suddenly asked Meng Tian, "What is the relationship between the Qin State's Meng Fu and you?"

"It's under Grandpa. Meng Tian replied.

The second uncle slapped the table and stood up, pointed at Meng Tian and said: "It turns out that you are the grandson of Meng Fei, you are really wronged and have a debtor, when your grandfather led the army to destroy our Yiqu, today you sent it to the door yourself, it is really blessed by God, so that I can avenge the death of my wife and children." After speaking, he was about to take the weapon that was originally placed behind him, but he was stopped by Zi Yanran's father.

"Brother, don't be impulsive yet, have you forgotten what I told you before?" Zi Yanran's father stopped his brother and said.

Zi Yanran's second uncle suddenly became angry, which startled Meng Tian, Meng Tian took a step back, he didn't expect Zi Yanran's second uncle to have a grudge against his grandfather, but now it has been decades since Yiqu was destroyed, and Meng Tian naturally wouldn't know what happened back then.

Meng Tian said to Zi Yanran's father and second uncle: "I don't know what happened back then, but I heard my grandfather say that the king of Yiqu returned to the first emperor, but then he wanted to occupy the land and claim the king, so the first empress dowager Xuan designed to introduce the king of Yiqu into my palace of the king of Daqin and kill him, and then my grandfather led troops to exterminate the descendants of the king of Yiqu, but there was absolutely no action for the ordinary people of Yiqu." I don't know how the second uncle formed a hatred with my grandfather, so I also ask the second uncle to make it clear, even if I really die here today, I have to let my death be clear. ”

At this time, Zi Yanran walked over with two benches in her hands, and saw that the second uncle was holding a knife in his hand, and her father, Alimu, and Huliza were all stopping the second uncle, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" She glanced at her father, and then looked at Meng Tian again. Meng Tian saw that Zi Yanran seemed to be asking himself in her eyes, and shook her head, indicating that she didn't know what was going on. So Zi Yanran looked at her father and second uncle again.

Seeing Zi Yanran come back, the second uncle's anger calmed down a little, put down the knife in his hand, then sat down and poured a bowl of wine, took a sip of it, and then put the bowl back on the table, but his face turned to the side and no longer looked at Meng Tian. Seeing that his brother was better, Zi Yanran's father motioned for Alimu and Huliza to relax and evacuate the crowd that had noticed this side in the clearing. After the two left, Zi Yanran's father waved his hand to Zi Yanran and asked her to bring the bench over and let the two sit down.

Noticing that no one was paying attention to his place anymore, Zi Yanran's father said to Meng Tian and Zi Yanran: "General Meng, I think the origin of me and Yanran, Yanran has already told you, I and Yanran are from the Central Plains, my surname is Zi, my name is Zimingdu, I think you should have heard of this name, but now it doesn't matter, I am now from Yiqu and Yanran, and it has nothing to do with the Central Plains." ”

Meng Tian recalled the name Zimingdu in his mind, and suddenly remembered that when Li Si gave himself a lesson in the palace of King Qin, he had mentioned this name, so he patted his thigh and said: "Ah, I remember, Zimingdu, you are a student of Old Master Xun, and the other Han Fei that Li Si and Mrs. Li said in his mouth, you are senior brothers, am I right?"

Zi Ming took a sip of wine, put down the bowl and said: "Yes, it turns out that you still know Li Si, I really haven't heard anyone talk about this name for a long time, it seems that Li Si is finally going to realize his revenge." ”

"Taifu Li is now the teacher of my Qin State King Qin Wang Yingzheng, and he is now in Xianyang City. Meng Tian said, "In the early years, the younger generation had not yet enlisted in the army, and I used to take Mrs. Li's class with the king and my younger brother. ”

Zi Ming understood, it turned out that this kid had also taken Li Si's class, and he didn't know if he would know. At that time, there were hundreds of disciples under his teacher, and he was older and started earlier, so he was considered a big disciple of the teacher. At that time, Li Si and Han Fei came to study together, among the two, Li Si pursued the art of kingship, and Han Fei pursued the art of domineering, and the two often went back to the teacher because of academic problems, and he would also help the two to adjust, and they became friends with both of them.

Zi Ming said "yes", and then said: "Since the farewell of Qi country, I have never met the teacher and the two of them again, and the two of them were the most outstanding students under the teacher, although I am their senior brother, but I am confident that my literary talent and knowledge are not enough to compare with the two of them." ”

Zi Yanran said to Meng Tian: "So, my father is still half of your uncle?"

Meng Tian nodded and said: "Taifu Li didn't accept the king and me and my brother as disciples, but just gave me some big truths every day, anyway, I don't understand it, I don't like it, only a nerd like my brother can listen to it, in this way, your father is indeed my uncle." ”

Zi Mingdu interrupted the conversation between the two of them and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now, Yanran, you go and bring some wine and meat to your second uncle, I have something to tell you." ”

Zi Mingdu said to the second brother beside him: "Second brother, you have been holding this matter in your heart for more than 20 years, let Brother Wei tell this matter today, I hope you can stop hating Meng Tian after I come, after all, what happened back then has nothing to do with him, and besides, you can't do it to a junior even if you want to take revenge." ”

Zi Yanran's second uncle turned his head and said, "Everything is up to the words of the eldest brother, just now the younger brother just remembered that when your younger brother and sister and your little nephew who had just completed the moon died in the hands of Qin Jun, he was angry and unbearable for a while. ”

When Meng Tian heard this, he hurriedly said: "Back then, my grandfather was just acting on orders, and I hope that the second uncle will understand. As a soldier, it is natural to obey the king's orders, if there is something sorry for the second uncle, even if I am representing our Royal Highness King Qin or my grandfather, I am willing to apologize to the second uncle, hoping that the second uncle can untie the knot. ”
