Chapter 364: Acquaintances (I)

Ma Xiancheng walked through his subordinates and walked in front of Meng Tian and Meng Li, although he looked very humble, but his tone did not have the humility of a subordinate when he met a superior.

"I don't know if General Mengli doesn't go to exterminate the rebel party, why do you want to come here?" Ma Xiancheng knew who was standing in front of him, but he deliberately pretended not to know, and just bowed down to Mengli to greet him.

Meng Li looked angry, he looked at Meng Tian who was standing beside him, he didn't see any reaction on Meng Tian's face, and Meng Tian didn't do anything about Ma Xiancheng's rude behavior.

Meng Li turned sideways slightly, let Meng Tian out, and said to Ma Xiancheng: "General Ma, this is my Great Qin's internal history, and he is also the general who is in charge of my Great Qin's million-strong army, General Meng Tianmeng. ”

"Oh, it turned out that General Meng Tian arrived, please forgive the last general, I haven't seen the general, so I didn't recognize it, I hope the general doesn't blame the last general. Ma Xiancheng had a frightened expression and hurriedly bowed to Meng Tian.

Meng Tian just said indifferently: "Get up, the so-called ignorant is not guilty, and General Ben has no intention of blaming you." ”

"The last general, General Xie. Ma Xiancheng straightened his waist, and then asked, "The last general remembers that the general is accompanied by His Majesty Luan, why did he suddenly come to my East County?"

Meng Tian raised his hand, pointed at the Mars surrounded by Ma Xiancheng's men with the horse whip in his hand, and said: "General Ma, I came to Dongjun this time on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor to transport this Mars back to Xianyang and hand it over to His Majesty for inspection. ”

After listening to Meng Tian's words, Ma Xiancheng only bowed his head slightly and responded: "It is said that General Meng Tian came in person, and he must have carried the will of His Majesty the Emperor, and the last general should not question it." It's just that after this spark fell on the boundary of my eastern county, the county guard ordered the last general to guard this place, and no one could get even half a step close to Mars without his order. I wonder if the general has informed the warden when he came to take Mars away?"

"Presumptuous, does the general still need to rule Huang Junshou if he wants to take away Mars? The general is the first of the three kings, even the prime minister doesn't dare to say such a thing when he sees the general, what kind of thing are you, and what kind of thing is he Huang Donglai? The general needs his consent to take away Mars?" After listening to Ma Xiancheng's words, Meng Li couldn't suppress the fire at that time, and opened his mouth to reprimand Ma Xiancheng sharply.

Ma Xiancheng turned a blind eye to Meng Li's anger, he looked directly at Meng Tian, and continued: "General, this order was not given by the last general, but the county guard received the order of Xianyang City, so he ordered the last general to stay here. I wonder if the general's visit this time has brought His Majesty's will?"

Meng Tian was stunned when he heard this, he didn't give him any will when he came to Dongjun Yingzheng this time, even if he did, it was just an edict from Yingzheng, but the other party said that he had the will of Xianyang City in hand, and his own oracle didn't seem to be so convincing.

"This time General Ben came to Dongjun, His Majesty did not give me a will, but only gave me a message, I think the county guard has received the will at this moment. Meng Tian said.

Ma Xiancheng still looked unfazed, and said to Meng Tian and Meng Li with a smile: "Since this is the case, it is better to ask the general to step into the eastern county city first, go to the county guard's mansion, meet the county guard, take His Majesty's will, and at the end of the day, he will personally hand over the Martian Stone to the general." I wonder what the general thinks?"

After listening to Ma Xiancheng's words, Meng Li was about to get angry, but was stopped by Meng Tian reaching out. "That's fine, I'm not here for this Martian stone anyway, so let's take it here for a while longer. Brother Meng, let's go, let's go back to the city first. ”

"General. This guy ...... "Meng Li is a little angry, but the Meng family army has always been above the top in the Qin State, in their eyes, in addition to their own generals and His Majesty the Emperor, there is also the palace forbidden army that is almost the same door, and the Qin army in other places has never been taken into their eyes, when has they suffered such a secret loss, Meng Li is naturally holding back a ball of anger in his heart.

Meng Tian pulled Meng Li's shoulders and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the city first, didn't you say that there is still a banquet waiting for me in the county guard's mansion?" ”

Meng Li was pulled away by Meng Tian, after getting on the horse, before leaving, Meng Li rode his horse to five steps in front of Ma Xiancheng, stared at Ma Xiancheng and said: "Ma Xiancheng, this time is your good luck, you better pray that there is no handle in my hands, otherwise, hum ......" After speaking, Meng Li turned the horse's head to catch up with Meng Tian, and the group walked towards the county seat of Dongjun.

Ma Xiancheng looked at the direction in which Meng Tian and Meng Li left, and after they walked away, he spat on the ground fiercely, and said coldly: "Mengjiajun? Hmph, this is not Xianyang City, even if your Mengjiajun is invincible in the world, it is not a place for you to do whatever you want in Dongjun, wait, I don't know who will clean up who in the future!"

"General, that Ma Xiancheng is so rude to you, how can you just let him go, even if you kill him with one sword, Your Majesty will not blame the general. On the way back to the city, Meng Li said to Meng Tian.

Meng Tian smiled and shook his head, this big brother's temper has not changed after so many years. "Why should I kill him, and if I really want to talk about it, that Ma Xiancheng is also reasonable, although I came on the order of His Majesty the Emperor, but I don't have the will written by His Majesty, that Ma Xiancheng said that Huangdong, the county guard of Dongjun, received the will from Xianyang City, since they have a will in hand, then I have no way to argue with them, besides, now it is Fusu who is in charge of the country in Xianyang City, and this will may not be issued by him, so we don't have to worry about it first. At present, the most important thing is to exterminate the rebels, and it is not too late to exterminate this group of rebels. ”

"No, but as soon as I remembered that Ma Xiancheng was like that bastard just now, I got angry, and I wanted to go back and beat him. Meng Li was still a little angry.

"Okay, let's go, I'll have a few drinks with you when I get back to the city, we haven't been together for more than two years, you haven't been drinking, no matter what else is going on today, let's have a drink first." Meng Tian said with a smile, and then whipped the horse's buttocks, and the war horse under his crotch immediately ran up, raising a puff of dust.

As soon as he heard the drink, Meng Li was finally a little happier, and said "good" loudly, and when he came back to his senses, Meng Tian had already run half a mile in front of him, Meng Li shook his head, and then clamped the horse's belly and quickly chased after him, behind him, Li Qing and others and other soldiers of the Meng family army also quickly rode horses to chase up.

Returned to the Dongjun City, and arrived at the county guard mansion in the city, Huang Dong, the county guard of the eastern county who had already received the news of Meng Tian's process, led his officials to wait at the gate of the county guard mansion early to welcome Meng Tian's arrival.

Meng Tian and Meng Li, as well as the generals and soldiers behind them, rode to the gate of the county guard's mansion, dismounted, and before Meng Tian could stand firm, the county guard Lord Huang Dong greeted him warmly. "Huang Dong, the county guard of Dongjun, has seen General M Meng. ”

In the Qin State, when a civil official meets his superiors and a military general meets his superiors, the salute is different. Wenchen, on the other hand, doesn't have so much red tape, no matter how many grades the two are apart, the lower officials are bowing when they meet Shangguan, so when Huang Dong meets Meng Tian, he just bows slightly. Ma Xiancheng saw that Meng Tian did not bow down, which was the reason why Meng Li began to be so atmospheric.

"Huang Jun is exempt from the ceremony, General Ben came this time, and I bothered a lot. Meng Tian asked Huang Dong to stand up, and then said with a smile.

Huang Dong is only in his early thirties this year, and being able to be the top of a county in this grade is still relatively rare in the Qin State. After Huang Dongzhi got up, all the officials of Dongjun behind him followed, and Meng Tian also waved his hand, exempting everyone from etiquette, and everyone entered the county guard's mansion.

In the inner mansion of the county guard, a banquet has been prepared in the hall, but there are only a limited number of seats, so except for Meng Tian and Meng Li and Huang Dong, only the two deputy generals of the Mengjia army and the two officials in the East County City who are only below the county guard are qualified to sit in the hall, and the rest are arranged outside the hall.

After everyone took their seats, Huang Dong, as the host, took the lead in raising his glass and said to Meng Tian: "General, on behalf of all the officials and all the people of Dongjun, welcome the general, this first glass of wine Xiaguan toasts to the general on their behalf, general, please!"

Meng Tian didn't refuse, he picked up the wine glass and said: "Lord Huang and the people of Dongjun are so hospitable, I Meng Tian is not welcome to this glass of wine, Lord Huang, please!"

Huang Dong also drank the wine from the wine glass in his hand, then sat down and said: "After receiving the news of the general's arrival yesterday, this official specially prepared this table of wine and food, which is not as good as His Majesty's side, and Dongjun has not been very peaceful in the past two years, so please don't dislike it." ”

There weren't many drinks and dishes in front of everyone, there was only a chicken in front of everyone, a stack of mutton, plus two vegetables that looked fresh, and a pot of wine, that's all, compared to the food that Meng Tian ate in Linzi, it was indeed a lot shabby.

Meng Tian picked up a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth, the mutton tasted quite delicious. Meng Tian said to Huang Dong: "There is Lord Lao County Shou bothered, the life of Dongjun in the past two years has not been very good, there are rebels and rebellions outside, I naturally know, as for this meal, it can fill your stomach, although rest assured, this general is a person who marches and fights, and he is not picky about food." ”

Huang Dong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's good, general, please, this wine is the Yellow River wine that is a specialty of my Dong County, please drink it full!" Huang Dong raised his glass again to persuade Meng Tian to drink.

"Okay, please, everyone, please!" Meng Tian said as he raised his glass and looked at the people in the lobby and the people outside.
