"What? Hu people appeared in the direction of the North City Gate? Isn't the Hu people's camp stationed in the west, how could they appear at the North City Gate?" Meng Tian closed his eyes and rested for half an hour, then opened his eyes and asked when he heard the news that he had discovered the Hu people's army.

"Yes, because there is fog outside the city, our soldiers can't see clearly, they only see that their banners are written by the Hu people, so our soldiers thought that the Hu people were fighting again. However, the news just came that the Hu army did not seem to have any intention of attacking the city, and was stationed outside the north city gate. Meng Li said.

"Didn't start the siege?" Meng Tian asked, so what did this army that came to the north gate come to do?

Meng Tian thought for a while and didn't think of anything, so he just ordered: "No matter what the purpose of this army is here, as long as they don't attack us, and leave him alone, tell the soldiers that they only need to defend the city wall." ”

Zi Mingdu finally woke up in the early hours of the morning, but the old man was finally old, and before he could recover from the joy of seeing his son-in-law and grandson, he heard the bad news that his brother had died in battle, and ended his life with excessive sadness. Losing Zi Mingdu and Abra, Meng Tian and Meng Tianci were a little sad, and everything in the city was handed over to Han Jin and Meng Li to take care of.

The people of Beijun in the county guard have all returned to their homes, and many of them have also helped the Qin army in the city to repair the city gate to resist the next attack of the Hu people. At this time, except for the front yard where there were busy people coming in and out, the backyard was very quiet, and few people came in here.

There are two coffins in the hall, and there are two brothers Zi Mingdu and Abra lying inside. When they met on the grassland, Abra met two women from Zimingdu, who had fled, and the two became brothers, and the vow that the two of them did not want to be born on the same day, the same month, the same year, but the same day, but died on the same day, but today it has been fulfilled.

Meng Tian and Meng Tianci took off their armor, changed into black plain clothes, and knelt on the side of the hall.

Meng Tianci woke up from a coma, but he received the news of his grandfather's death, and he almost fell into a coma again when he woke up. At this time, kneeling in front of the spiritual seat of the two grandfathers, although his face was pale, he still insisted on keeping the spirit of his grandfather.

"God, if you don't feel well, go back first, it's enough to have my father here. Your grandfather was so kind to you when he was alive, and he didn't want you to get on your knees here and burn your body. Meng Tian was worried about Meng Tianci's body and persuaded him to go back to rest.

Meng Tianci shook his head, he looked at his grandfather's spiritual position, and he couldn't see his grandfather for the last time, Meng Tianci regretted it very much. "Father, don't worry, I know my body, let me stay here to accompany my grandfather more, the child has not seen his old man for a long time, I didn't expect it to be close at hand, but I didn't even see his last face. ”

Meng Tianci's stubbornness made Meng Tian shake his head, this child's temper was not much worse than that of him back then. "Whatever you want. ”

As soon as Meng Tian finished speaking, Meng Li walked in from outside, the atmosphere here was very heavy, but it was still difficult to hide the joy on Meng Li's face.

"General, General. Meng Li walked into the mourning hall, first clasped his fists and saluted the two old men's spiritual positions, and then said to Meng Tian's father and son, who turned their heads to look at him, "Guess who is coming?"

Meng Li's words made Meng Tian a little confused, who could come at this time?" "Who is coming?" Meng Tian asked.

Meng Li said: "It's Xue Bin, it's Xue Bin who came, it turns out that the Hu army found at the north gate this morning was brought by Xue Bin." Because their writing is similar to that of the Hu people, our soldiers did not recognize him. When Xue Bin arrived downstairs, Du Hui happened to be at the city gate, recognized him, and brought him in. ”

This news is really good news for Meng Tian, originally he was still asking why the Hu people attacked Daqin this time, why Xue Bin on the grassland didn't have any news at all, but he didn't expect him to come with the army in person.

"It's really Xue Bin, where is he? Take me to see him. Meng Tian was also a little surprised when he heard the news of Xue Bin's arrival, he hurriedly stood up, Meng Tianci also stood up, left the mourning hall with his father and Meng Li, and went to see Xue Bin in the front courtyard. 135 Chinese

The front yard is very lively at this time, Xue Bin is the old man of the Mengjia army, since the war with the Huns, Xue Bin has been the daughter of the previous Hun Khan, Princess Yinting, so many years to help Princess Yinting not only unify the Huns grassland, but also establish a relationship with Daqin, the two sides opened markets with each other in the frontier, and many of the horses of the Mengjia army are from the Hun grassland.

There are many old people in the Mengjia army who know Xue Bin, and they are very happy to see old friends who have not seen each other for a long time, not to mention that this time Xue Bin came to help them with the soldiers and horses of the Huns.

Seeing Meng Tian walk in, Xue Bin took two steps forward and knelt down in front of Meng Tian. "Xue Bin, the captain of the Tianzi cavalry of the Mengjia Army, visited the general. "For so many years, the Tianzi cavalry of the Mengjia Army has always been only a deputy captain, and the position of the lieutenant is vacant, and many cavalry officers and soldiers who have joined the Tianzi cavalry are very strange, and they have not received answers when they ask some old people.

Meng Tian smiled and helped Xue Bin up from the ground, he and Xue Bin hadn't seen each other for nearly twenty years, and the young man back then was also a middle-aged sweat with stubble on his face at this time. He still patted Xue Bin's shoulder with his hand as he did at the beginning, "Yes, there is material to be a great sweat, it seems that your life on the grassland has been very comfortable over the years." ”

Hearing the general say about himself, Xue Bin rarely saw the old man blush, and said with a smile: "The general said that he was joking, even if the last general is the Great Khan of the Huns, he is a soldier of the Mengjia Army, and he is a Qin person, this is the root system of the last general, and he will never forget it in this life." ”

"This time I came from the grassland, but I came here for the affairs of the Hu people?" Meng Tian asked.

Xue Bin nodded, and he said, "The Hu people who attacked Great Qin this time said that they were not all Hu people, but more people from the Western Regions. ”

"People from the Western Regions?" asked everyone in the room.

Xue Bin nodded and said: "Yes, it was Sang Kun who led the troops to attack Qin this time, he fled under my nose back then, I don't know why he fled to the Western Regions, where he was sheltered by many forces, and I also sent people to the Western Regions to find him, but they were all rejected by the other party by force." The grassland is separated from the Western Regions by a desert, and I didn't care about him anymore, but just warned Sang Kun not to allow him to set foot in the grassland again. It's just that I didn't expect that this time he changed the target to Daqin, after I got the news, I originally wanted to send you a message, but the people sent there died for some reason, and I was afraid of delaying things, so I summoned soldiers and horses to come in person. ”

There are also many merchants from the Western Regions who come to sell in the northern county city, and everyone has the impression that the people of the Western Regions seem to be better at doing business, and for so many years, no people from the Western Regions dare to make trouble in the territory of Great Qin, why did they dare to raise troops this time.

"The forces in the Western Regions are very complicated, unlike our side, a country on their side is almost a city. According to what we know, they probably don't have that many troops there. Han Jin said that there was a lot of news from the Western Regions here, and many of them were half-truths and half-truths, because of the limited conditions, Han Jin could not send someone to verify the authenticity.

Xue Bin didn't refute Han Jin's words, he continued: "What the Lord said is not bad at all. According to the information I received this time, the reason why they would gather an army of 600,000 was because they had been invited by one of the most powerful lords in the Western Regions to send troops to attack Great Qin together. This lord is the younger brother of the king of a powerful empire further west than the Western Regions, because of the failure to compete for the throne, he was driven to the Western Regions, but after all, it is a powerful royal family, his strength has broken the balance of the countries of the Western Regions, he did not snatch the territory of these cities, but listened to Sang Kun's words, and planned to occupy the apprentice of Great Qin and establish himself as the king here. ”

"This man's idea is not bad, but it's a pity that he chose the wrong person. Wang Li said.

I didn't expect that there were so many hidden secrets here, no matter how powerful the empire was behind the other party, but as long as he dared to invade the territory of Great Qin, then he would not hesitate to give these bold people a little color.

"No matter what the strength of the other party is, but in our land of Great Qin, it is not their turn to have the final say from the alien race. This time the other party has so many troops, and now with Xue Bin, our troops are on par with Sang Kun, this time we will leave Sang Kun and his army here outside the North County City. Meng Tian stood up and said, his words filled with the smell of blood.

The Hu people's camp has hung up the exemption card, and Sang Kun is holding a funeral for Gandalf in the camp. In the Western Regions, it is their tradition to hold a ceremony when a person is born, and even more so after death. After all, Gandalf is the brother-in-law of His Royal Highness the Prince, and even if his sister is no longer favored, there must still be a ritual.

Gandalf's body was resting on the pyre, and around him stood dozens of representatives of various forces in the Western Regions of the Eastern Crusade, and everyone looked at Gandalf lying on it, and their hearts were quite uncomfortable. After all, Gandalf is the leader of the Roman Guard, who claims to be able to kill the demon king in hell, and everyone here is not comparable to this ability, everyone respects the brave, but unfortunately no matter how powerful the person is, there will be a day when he falls, I don't know when he will become the person lying on the wood, and finally turn into a handful of ashes and dissipate with the wind.

After reciting the prayer, Sangkun took the torch and circled the pyre, and then lit the pyre. Looking at Gandalf, who was gradually engulfed in flames, Sang Kun didn't know what to say, now for his revenge plan, no matter how strong the Qin army was, he had to pretend that nothing was wrong, and he had already written to the lord behind him, hoping that he could send more troops to come, as long as he could destroy Great Qin, Sang Kun was willing to pay any price.
