"Open the gates. The soldiers of the Qin army, who were already standing on the city wall, saw this army under the banner of the Meng family army marching towards Yancheng, so they hurriedly shouted to the soldiers under the city wall.

Zhang Kui went out of the city gate and waited in line at the city gate with a team of soldiers. It didn't take long for the team to arrive under the city wall, and Zhang Kui looked at the person who came, who was also an acquaintance, a disciple of the great general Meng Tian, Tu Qin.

Tu Qin saw Zhang Kui leading people out of the city to greet him in person, stopped the team three zhang away from Zhang Kui, and then dismounted and walked towards Zhang Kui.

"General Tu Qin, it's been hard all the way. When Zhang Kui saw Tu Qin dismounting, he also hurriedly stepped forward, and the two big men hugged each other fiercely after approaching.

Tu Qin and Zhang Kui separated, and their young faces were already slightly mature. "General Zhang, I didn't expect you to go out of the city to greet you in person, but it made Tu Qin a little embarrassed. ”

Zhang Kui put one arm on Tu Qin's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Where is this, we are all a family. Besides, you went to the grassland to save for nearly two years, and I have been waiting for your triumphant return every day for the past two years, and today I finally waited for you. ”

Tu Qin nodded vigorously, he was appointed by his master two years ago, and he and Xue Bin led an army of 50,000 to the grassland to help Princess Yinting regain the throne. In the past two years, he spent almost all of his time on horseback, and even for a few days, facing several times the Hun cavalry several times his size, there were several bloody battles every day.

Zhang Kui looked at Tu Qin's appearance and knew that he must have been tired in the past two years, and he would no longer reminisce outside the city. He said to Tu Qin: "Let's go, let's go to the city, you and these soldiers have a good rest, and I will set up a banquet for you in the evening to celebrate your achievements." ”

After a few days of recuperation at home, the sword wound under Meng Tian's ribs was finally almost healed, and the wound had begun to scab over under the treatment of the best gold sore medicine. However, the doctor still told Meng Tian that it was best not to do anything with others for half a month, otherwise the wound would collapse, and it would be difficult to heal at that time.

Meng Tian didn't expect that Chu Fei's sword would make him suffer so badly, and this sword that didn't stab the vital point could actually make him unable to hold the sword for a month.

"The general doesn't know, this wound is very easy to deal with, but the villain doesn't know what kind of weapon the person who stabbed the general with a sword used, the inside of this wound looks like there are traces of poisoning, but this is not a poison that kills people, but a medicine similar to an anesthetic that can touch the blood and make the sensation around the wound disappear. It is precisely because of this medicine that the wound is difficult to heal, and the villain used a medicine from the ancient prescription to barely stop the wound, so the general must not do anything with others within a month, otherwise the villain does not dare to guarantee that the wound will recur again. ”

Since the doctors have said that they can't hold the sword for half a month, then they don't hold it well, since the first day they hold the sword, they have been holding it for more than 30 years, and it is not a big deal to hold it for a month less.

Meng Tian got dressed and walked out the door. This is the courtyard where Meng Tian deals with important matters, so there is no one in the courtyard except for the two generals of the General's Mansion at the door.

Meng Tian walked to the courtyard and stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and soon after he snapped his fingers, a man dressed in black and masked entered the courtyard, he reached behind Meng Tian, and then knelt on the ground, without making a sound during the whole process.

"Old

Fifth, what news has been in Xianyang City recently?" Meng Tian didn't look back at the person kneeling behind him, but just asked.

The black-clothed man, known as Lao Wu, stood up, took out a piece of silk cloth from the leather armor on his body, and then respectfully walked to Meng Tian's side, put the silk cloth in Meng Tian's hand, and then he took a step back and said, "General Hui, there have been no major incidents in Xianyang City recently. ”

Meng Tian opened the silk cloth in his hand and looked carefully at what was written on it. There are not many things written on the silk cloth, but there are not many things involved, but the words on it are written very concisely, and there is not a single superfluous nonsense.

After reading the contents of the silk cloth, Meng Tian nodded, and then threw the silk cloth back. The man in black behind him reached out to catch the silk cloth, then took out a fire fold from his body and burned it.

"The taxes of Shu County have been escorted to Xianyang City, it seems that the treasury can be temporarily relieved for a while, His Majesty went to Afang Palace a few days ago, and said that it would be built within a month, which seems to be a little difficult, but with this tax silver, it should be almost able to be completed on time. Meng Tian muttered to himself, and the man in black behind him kept his head down, as if he hadn't heard Meng Tian's words.

Meng Tian turned around and said to Lao Wu: "Recently, there have been many strangers in Xianyang City, do you know what the origin of these people is?" Fang Cai's silk cloth wrote one thing that attracted Meng Tian's attention, less than a month is the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor, at this time, there are suddenly many people of unknown origin in Xianyang City, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

Lao Wu replied: "According to the investigation of the villains, some of these people are merchants from other places who come to Xianyang City to do business. There are also some people sent to Xianyang City from all over the country to present birthday gifts for His Majesty the Emperor. In addition, there were some people who had been drafted into the city, but after they had been registered in the city, they left. ”

"Well, this is a special time, and no situation in the city can be ignored, you know? Tell the brothers of the Iron Guard, let them all be in good spirits, and not let anyone suspicious go. ”

"The villain obeyed. ”

"Alright, you go down first. After Meng Tian finished speaking, Lao Wu turned around and left, disappearing into the courtyard in a corner.

"Come, prepare horses, go to the treasury. ”

The treasury is at the west gate of the palace, where it can be said that the Xianyang City is the same heavily guarded place as the palace, after all, it is the place where the lifeblood of the Great Qin is stored, so in the treasury, although the place is not big, it is enough to garrison 8,000 people. In the courtyard where the treasury silver is stored, there is a post at three steps, a sentry at five steps, and two thousand elite armor soldiers patrol every half an hour, which can be said to be a drop of water guarding the treasury.

At a distance of ten zhang from the treasury, Meng Tian dismounted and led the horse into the treasury with the generals who followed him.

If you don't dismount and walk at this distance, whoever you are will be attacked by sentries hiding on both sides of the road, and before you can ride to the gate of the treasury, you will be filled with at least twenty crossbow arrows to ensure that you will not die again.

Meng Tian led people to the gate of the treasury, and the soldiers in charge of guarding the treasury saw the arrival of the general, and they all shouted loudly: "Welcome to the general." ”

Meng Tian nodded, let them continue to stand guard, and then entered the treasury with the family general behind him.

Said the country

The library is large, but it is not big, but it is not small. It's just that there are only three halls in this big courtyard, each of which covers a wide area, and there is no shelter around the main hall, and there is no obstacle in the courtyard except for the high courtyard wall.

Entering the treasury requires disarming, and even Meng Tian is no exception. Meng Tian untied his true sword and handed it to the soldiers at the door, and then this was the real entry into the treasury compound.

Zhao Yu waited in the large courtyard of the treasury, where he had his office, where he had left the court every day, and then stayed until dark before returning home. So after learning that Meng Tian was coming, he hurriedly walked out of the main hall to greet Meng Tian.

"General. Zhao Yu saw Meng Tian walk in, and hurriedly stepped forward and clenched his fists and said.

Zhao Yu's official rank was much lower than Meng Tian's, and Meng Tian still warmly returned the salute with his fists. "Lord Zhao, what's the matter, this is specially here to greet me?"

Zhao Yu laughed, he opened his mouth and said: "That's natural, I may not have anyone here for a few days, I didn't expect the general to come today, of course the lower officials will come out to greet him." General, please. ”

Zhao Yu turned sideways, made way to the main hall behind him, and asked Meng Tian to enter the main hall.

Meng Tian entered the main hall and couldn't help but be a little shocked when he looked at the slightly empty hall. In his mind, there must have been a lot of things piled up in the treasury, and it was impossible to see it like what he saw, and at a glance, there was nothing else in the hall except for a few large boxes with seals stacked in one corner.

Seeing the expression on Meng Tian's face, Zhao Yu's heart tightened. He stepped forward and said to Meng Tian: "General, this is the front hall of the national treasury, which is generally used to store the tax silver transported from all over the country. ”

Meng Tian nodded, although he had not been to the construction of Afang Palace and the royal tomb, but these two places cost money like flowing water every day, and Meng Yi still told him about it.

"It turns out that the taxes from all over the world were not sent at the same time?" Meng Tian asked.

Zhao Yu said with a smile: "That's nature, now the world is all under Great Qin, and the long-term distance from Xianyang City is different." In places like Nanjun and Liaodong Yandi, their time on the road is naturally a little longer, and on the way, part of the tax silver will also be consumed, after all, the soldiers who transport the tax silver also need to eat. ”

"I know this, it's the same as when I march with my troops to fight. Meng Tian nodded.

Yes, that's true. Zhao Yu agreed.

There is nothing worth seeing in the front hall, and I don't know what the two main halls in the back are like. Meng Tian walked out of the front hall and walked towards the two main halls behind, Zhao Yu followed behind him, not leaving an inch.

The two main halls at the back are smaller than the front halls, and the three main halls are arranged in a font pattern. Meng Tian first entered the hall on his left, and as soon as he entered the hall, Meng Tian was almost dazzled by the colorful things in front of him.

The hall on the left hand side is full of some rare treasures, gold and silver jewelry, piled together, shining under the light of the candles in the hall, dazzling the eyes.
