Chapter 291: Do You Want a Wife?
After taking Princess Yinting and them into Rock City and settling their quarters, Meng Tian returned to his place.
Meng Li had been waiting for him to come back here, and when he saw Meng Tian walk in, he said with a smile: "How is it? That Xiongnu princess wasn't frightened, right?"
Meng Tian took off the cloak behind the armor, then pressed the mechanism on the armor, removed the heavy armor from his body, and hung it on the shelf on the side. Then Meng Tian moved his neck, sat down and looked at Meng Li and said: "I know that this is a good thing done by the eldest brother, that princess is a girl at most in my opinion, if we are in the Qin Kingdom, I am afraid that we will faint when we see the four of them, but I admire her courage." She is neither humble nor arrogant when she talks to me, and she is good at riding horses, and I think her bow and horse skills are much better than our soldiers, after all, she is a woman who grew up on the grassland. β
Meng Li smacked his lips, and he said: "Then I have to pull my younger siblings over, didn't my younger siblings grow up on the grassland when they were young, I want to know whether my younger siblings' skills are higher or lower than this Hun princess." β
Meng Tian shook his head helplessly, this big brother is not serious again. "When you say that, I think a little bit about Yanran and God, it's been half a year since I came here unconsciously, and time flies so fast. β
"yes, I've been here for half a year, and I'm really homesick. By the way, how did you talk about that princess?"
"I was about to say it, but I forgot about what you said about Yanran just now. I thought about the cooperation, and I think it's not bad, now the Huns themselves are fighting their own people, there is a maid who looks very similar to this princess is regarded as a princess, and now this fake princess is in the hands of Sangkun in Kazakun, and the other four tribes have already attacked Sangkun, I think Sangkun will not take revenge for this. β
Meng Li listened to Meng Tian's words, thought for a while, and asked, "Does the general want to lend this princess's soldiers and horses, let her reveal her identity on the grassland, and then go to compete for the position of the Great Khan of the Huns?"
Meng Tian nodded, and he said, "Not bad, but this alone is not enough. The grassland is indeed very large, and it does not have its own city like us, so it is rare for the grassland to be held on the ground. I was thinking that if this Xiongnu princess and Sang Kun joined forces, the strength of the two of them would be enough to fight against the other four tribes, and then we would have plenty of time to build the Great Wall. What do you think?"
"I think it's feasible, there are so many variables on the steppe, there are more tribes large and small than our cities, it is too difficult to conquer them, if we can control their Great Khan in our hands, it will be different, it is much better than we have to be on the lookout for them all the time. β
Meng Tian took a blank bamboo slip, and he said, "Okay, then I will write a fold and submit it to His Majesty the Emperor, so that His Majesty can arrange for the people who built the Great Wall to come over as soon as possible." β
The decision to agree to build the Great Wall had already reached Meng Tian's hands, but the project of the Great Wall was too huge, and the manpower and material resources required were even more astronomical. According to Meng Tian's calculations, it would take at least 700,000 people to build the Great Wall in the shortest possible time, and it was impossible to estimate the amount of money and food that would be spent. But there are too many benefits of building the Great Wall, endure the pain for a while, and get peace for ten thousand years, such a deal is actually worth it, which is why Meng Tian insisted on building the Great Wall, even if it shook the foundation of Daqin because of this incident, and he did not hesitate to be infamous as a villain.
Now because of the retreat of the Huns, there is no war on the border for the time being, so as a border city, Iwaki has opened its pass to merchants who come and go. Many Huns also took advantage of this opportunity to come here and trade with the fur merchants here. So now walking down the streets of Rock City, you don't feel surprised at all when you see people dressed as Huns trading with Qin traders.
The military camp was outside the city, but Meng Tian had moved to the general's mansion in the city, and the original general Iwaki left the general's mansion with his family in order to curry favor with Meng Tian. So now the Iwacheng General's Mansion is now inhabited by Meng Tian, Meng Li, Xue Bin, Ma Bee and other senior generals of the Mengjia Army. And due to the arrival of Princess Yinting and others, in order to make room for the four of them, Xue Bin and Ma Bee and others moved back to the barracks to live.
Since Princess Yinting lived in the General's Mansion, she felt that everything was so strange for the people of Qin, she liked the bed of the people of Qin very much, and it was more comfortable to sleep on the bed than in her own tent on the grassland on the softest fur. There is also the food of the Qin people, compared to the monotonous barbecue on the grassland, the taste of boiling is simply not too delicious, and there are many restaurants opened by the Huns in Yancheng, these places have become places where Princess Yinting and her maids go every day, and of course, the sword wolf who has been following Princess Yinting.
Although there was a sword wolf loyally following her, Princess Yinting still asked Meng Tian for someone, and she said that she was protecting herself. This unlucky ghost is Xue Bin, for no other reason, among the generals of the Mengjia army, Meng Tian and Meng Li are both men in their forties and fifties, and even the hornets and Zhang Kui are in their thirties, leaving only one of the youngest Xue Bin, who is only twenty-six years old this year, plus a relatively handsome face, half a head taller than the sword wolf next to Princess Yinting. It can be said that there is a faΓ§ade and strength, no wonder Princess Yinting doesn't mention other people's names, and she just wants the unruly young general. Starting point Chinese
Now Xue Bin's Mengjiajun in Yancheng is a celebrity, of course, he used to be famous because he inherited the style of Mengli, and his training subordinates were all bitter and tired, and he was called "Xue Sanwhip" by his soldiers, which means that as long as there is a little mistake in training, that is, the three whips are hit on the body, and over time, the name of "Xue Sanwhip" has spread. Xue Bin himself felt good after hearing his name, which was in line with his unique and somewhat sullen temperament.
Now every day after noon in the morning in Yancheng, there will be two men and two women on the streets of Yancheng, that is, the combination of Xue Bin and Princess Yinting. Princess Yinting came out to satisfy her little belly, but Xue Bin looked loveless, reluctant, followed Princess Yinting's ass into a restaurant, and finally had to settle the bill.
In just a few days, he ate almost half of the belongings that General Xue had saved over the years, so frightened that Xue Bin hurriedly went to cry to the general, begging the general not to let him be the follower of the princess of Raushzi, and now he has changed from "Xue Sanwhip" to "Xue Sanjin", which means that he has to bring three taels of gold to go out every day, otherwise he will not be able to satisfy the appetite of the Hun princess at all.
Meng Tian and Meng Li had dinner and were playing Go in the house, when suddenly Meng Li looked at the sky and said, "Strange, why hasn't this kid Xue Bin come yet?"
Meng Tian raised his head and looked at the sky outside, he said with a smile: "Big brother, I think you should care about your chess pieces first, if you don't play your chess pieces well, I will eat up your chess pieces." β
"Hey, you can see this, you said that we learned to play chess together, why did you make progress so fast, I can't learn it at all?" The two generals of the Mengjia Army began to learn to play chess during this period when there was no war to fight, and it was said that it was to better study the art of war.
Before the words fell, a voice came in: "General, general....."
"Well, I can't play this game anymore. Hearing the familiar voice, Meng Tian looked helpless and put the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box next to the chessboard.
Xue Bin walked in and saw that the two generals were here, so he said, "That...... General, you see that the last general has been with that princess for nearly half a month, is it time to change someone, I am afraid that before this princess leaves, the last general's family will be eaten poor by her. Xue Bin looked aggrieved, and looked at Meng Tian and Meng Li with resentful eyes.
Meng Tian and Meng Li glanced at each other and exchanged a tacit understanding. Meng Tian walked to Xue Bin's side, patted him on the shoulder, and pretended to be deep and said: "Ah Bin, how good this task is, you don't need to stare at the training of the group of recruits below every day, let you follow the princess to eat and drink well, how good is this." Let me see, well, it seems that you have grown a lot in the past half month. β
But no, it's all my money, and if I'm losing weight, wouldn't it be even more unreasonable. Of course, this was what Xue Bin said to himself in his heart, he didn't dare to say this to Meng Li, otherwise he would definitely be beaten.
"However, the family wealth that the last general has survived with the general in the southern and northern wars over the years is almost eaten up by this princess. Who would have thought that this princess was so young, but she was so able to eat, no, and her maid named Peggy and the sword wolf, those were three people. That's all the money I was going to marry my daughter-in-law, and it was all eaten by the three of them. β
"Hahaha......" Meng Tian and Meng Lilian laughed at the same time, it turned out that this was the crux of the matter.
Meng Tian cleared his throat and said to Meng Li: "That, Brother Meng, now among the young generals of the Mengjia Army, only General Xue is the only one who has not yet married, right?"
Meng Li thought for a moment and said, "Don't say it, it's true, it seems that it's time for our General Xue to start a family." β
After Meng Li finished speaking, Meng Tian turned to look at Xue Bin and said with a smile: "Xiao Xue, do you want a wife?"
