The weather in the mountains is unpredictable, Meng Tian and the two of them left from the place where the wild boar was buried and it was still drizzling, and it stopped not long after the two left, and then it began to rain again not long after, and seeing that the rain was getting bigger and bigger, Meng Tian and Zi Yanran rode their horses and galloped in the direction of the palace, hoping to find a place to shelter from the rain before the rain fell heavily.

After galloping in the rain for nearly an hour, Meng Tian and Zi Yanran finally arrived at the palace. When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the soldiers at the gate stopped the two people and did not allow them to enter the palace to take shelter from the rain.

The Mengjia army is only responsible for the defense of the foot of Lishan Mountain and the enclosure, and the palace on the mountain is not the place where the Mengjia army is stationed and under the jurisdiction, and the Qin army at the foot of the mountain before was withdrawn to the palace after the arrival of the Mengjia army. Although the soldiers guarding the gate had heard of Meng Tian's name, they didn't know him, and Meng Tian and Zi Yanran didn't bring the seal letter with them when they came out this time. Since they couldn't get a token to prove their identity, the soldiers guarding the palace naturally wouldn't let the two of them go in to take shelter from the rain.

Seeing that the soldiers guarding the door were not accommodating at all, Meng Tian had no choice but to give up, and took shelter from the rain under the eaves at the door with Zi Yanran, until the rain gradually subsided, and stopped completely, Meng Tian and Zi Yanran got on their horses again, ready to go back to the Mengjia military camp at the foot of the mountain to change into clean clothes,

At the foot of the mountain, Meng Tian and Zi Yanran rode into the barracks. Zhao Li and Du Hui were directing the soldiers to collect the grain, grass and other supplies that had just rained and dried them, and when they saw that Meng Tian and the two had only been gone for less than half a day before coming back, they hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Meng Tian got off the horse, shook off the soaked clothes on his body, and said, "Brother Zhao, first find two clean clothes for me and Yanran to change into, and I'll talk to you later." ”

Zhao Li nodded and said, "Your clothes are easy to find, and now there are many soldiers in our battalion who are about the same size as you, I think they should have spare military uniforms." It's just that Yanran is smaller, and I'm afraid I don't have clothes that fit her too well. ”

Zi Yanran originally wore her hair behind her, but this time she was caught in the rain, and she simply tied her hair together with a strip of cloth on the road. Zi Yanran said to Zhao Li: "Brother Zhao, I'm fine, as long as I can change the soaked clothes on my body, it doesn't matter how big or small it is." ”

"Okay, come on, go find two military uniforms suitable for the general and the general's wife, and take them to the tent for the general and the general's wife to change. ”

Meng Tian and Zi Yanran went into the tent to change out of the wet clothes on their bodies, Meng Tian changed quickly, and after changing, they saw that Zi Yanran had not changed yet, so they said: "Yanran, you change slowly here, I will go out and wait for you outside first after I have changed." ”

Meng Tian got out of the tent and found Zhao Li and Du Hui, the three of them returned to the military tent, Meng Tian asked the two about the recent situation of the Meng family's army, and what was his plan to let Zhao Li select elite soldiers from the Mengjia army to train and train them to become killers in the Dark Bird Killer organization.

Du Hui is now at the same level as Zhao Li, both of whom are the deputy commanders of the Mengjia Army, Du Hui is responsible for the daily training of the Mengjia Army, recruiting new soldiers, etc., while Zhao Li has been busy with Meng Tian since he returned to Xianyang with Meng Wu, and then came to the foot of Lishan to change his defense, and he has been busy with Meng Tian explaining to him the matter of training killers, and he rarely manages the daily affairs of the Mengjia Army.

Du Hui first said: "General, since the separation in the northern Xinjiang, the last general followed the general back to Xianyang, accepted His Majesty's reward, and then arrived at the foot of this Li Mountain in a few days. Now there are about 30,000 soldiers in our Mengjia army, and these 30,000 people are all veterans who have been on the battlefield, all of them are elite veterans drawn from his command by General Wang, and there are more than 20,000 recruits, who are currently being assigned to all the military camps of our Mengjia army for training. ”

Hearing Du Hui say that there are now more than 50,000 people in the Mengjia army, Meng Tian was taken aback, the original Mengjia army was less than 20,000, and they were all new soldiers and soldiers from the Six Kingdoms who surrendered with Du Hui. However, Grandpa Wang Jian transferred elites from the army under his command to enter the Mengjia army, which Meng Tian did not expect, it seems that when he goes home, he will pick up some gifts to visit Grandpa Wang.

Meng Tian looked at Zhao Li, Zhao Li said to Meng Tian: "Since the general handed over to the last general to train elite soldiers, the last general has not taken this matter to heart for a day, this time when he came back from the north, the last general began to select soldiers in the army, and now two hundred people have been selected, these two hundred people have some kung fu in hand, so the last general no longer needs to teach them to practice fist and foot kung fu." And some of these people are from the Orion in this mountain, and they are even more skilled in lurking and sniping prey, and the last general is ready to train the marksmen planned to be cultivated in the Dark Bird in my Mengjia army, and if someone attacks my Qin State again in the future, we can infiltrate the enemy and kill the enemy's general, so that the enemy army will have civil strife, and our army will win without a fight. ”

Meng Tian listened to Zhao Li's thoughts and applauded: "Brother Zhao, your idea is really good." Brother Du, although my father is now managing the Meng family army on my behalf, he usually rarely comes over, so now General Meng is in charge of you. You have also heard Brother Zhao's thoughts, I think that in the future, no matter what Brother Zhao lacks, you will try your best to satisfy him, so that he can train the elite of our Meng family army as soon as possible, and I will be of great use in the future. ”

"The last will obey. ”

While the three of them were talking, Zi Yanran also walked in. The military uniform worn by Zi Yanran was prepared by the Meng family army for the smallest soldiers, although it was the smallest soldier, it also depended on who it was compared with, so Zi Yanran was still relatively loose on her body. Zi Yanran had already continued to loosen her hair tied together, and although she had wiped it with a towel, her hair was still wet. Meng Tian was accustomed to seeing Zi Yanran wearing women's clothes at home and tight-fitting clothes on the Yiqu grassland, and when he saw the current Zi Yanran, he felt that there was another flavor.

Meng Tian suddenly remembered something, and he asked Zhao Li and Du Hui: "When we set off in the morning, there was a place marked with a forbidden place on the map you gave me, I don't know what place it was, and that forbidden place was not far behind the palace. ”

Zhao Li and Du Hui looked at each other, and the two seemed to know nothing about the forbidden places on the map that Meng Tian had said. Du Hui opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know which forbidden place the general is talking about?" After coming to the end of the day, I have never heard of any forbidden land on this mountain, and it is not far from the palace of the Great King. Zhao Li nodded and agreed with what Du Hui said.

This time it was Meng Tian's turn to be a little confused, it was said that this map was given to them by them, and they would not know that this map was marked with a forbidden land. Meng Tian asked Zi Yanran to go out and bring the map in the bag on the horse's back. After taking it, Meng Tian opened it for the two to see, although the map was in a bag, but it was also drenched in rain, fortunately, the map was drawn in sheepskin, and the ink on it was still well preserved. Meng Tian pointed to the place marked with the word forbidden land on the map and showed it to Zhao Li and Du Hui, hoping that they could explain this place to him.

Zhao Li and Du Hui shook their heads after reading it, and Zhao Li thought about it for a while, as if he remembered something. Zhao Li said to the three of them: "I seem to have been to this place once, but I don't know what this place is for, at that time I took people into the mountains to train, by the way to familiarize myself with the terrain of Lishan, to the place marked on the map, before I got close, I was surrounded by several Qin soldiers, I was not allowed to move forward half a step, and said that if I wanted to go in unless there was the will of the king, I would be killed on the spot." ”

There is also this place on top of Lishan Mountain, Meng Tian has never heard Yingzheng and others tell him about this, not only that, when he took Zi Yanran out to Lishan, his father and mother didn't seem to know about this forbidden land, could it be that his father and mother didn't know about it? Meng Tian shook his head, believing that his father and mother should not know about it.

Meng Tian felt that this forbidden place was not simple, so he wanted to enter the palace at night while it was dark to find out what this forbidden place was.

Hearing that Meng Tian wanted to go to the forbidden land at night, Zi Yanran and Zhao Li and Du Hui felt that it was too dangerous and didn't want him to go. Meng Tian said to the three of them: "If I don't come today, maybe I won't think about this place, since I came, then I want to investigate this forbidden place and see what this forbidden place is." ”

The three of them still resolutely agreed, and Zi Yanran saw that she couldn't persuade Meng Tian, so she said, "You can go, then you have to put me on." ”

Without waiting for Meng Tian to speak, Zhao Li and Du Hui said at the same time: "The last general is too, please think twice." ”

The three of them didn't agree to go by themselves, and Meng Tian wanted to go very much, so he had to say: "Okay, let's do it, let Brother Zhao bring a few brothers who are good at disguise to go with me, so let's do it." ”

Seeing that Meng Tian had made up his mind, the three of them had no choice but to agree that Meng Tian and Zhao Li would go with a few soldiers.
