After a brief reunion with Zi Yanran, Meng Tian left the place of the Yiqu people and returned to the place where the Qin army patrol camp he brought was located.

The general of the Qin army patrol battalion who followed Meng Tian was named Zhang Tang, who had been in the army for more than ten years, and had a lot of experience in marching and combating, he once wanted to enter the army under Wang Qian's name, but his boss did not want such a talent to let go in vain, so he stuck with him and did not let him enter Wang Qian's name. This time, Meng Tian sent a letter saying that he needed a team of men to support him, and the commander of the patrol battalion did not believe that the young Meng Tian could have much ability, so he was reluctant to send troops to help. After Zhang Tang learned the news, he went to ask the commander for orders to come to support, because he knew that his opportunity to leave the patrol camp had come, and with the relationship between the Wang family and the Meng family, he helped Meng Tian this time, so it would be much easier for him to leave the patrol camp in the future.

The commander of the patrol battalion is a person in the Qin royal family who is sparse and ordinary in martial arts, and in terms of seniority, he is the same generation as Yingguang, and he is also the uncle of the current King of Qin. Although he was skeptical about the murder of Ying Guang that Meng Tian said in his heart, under Zhang Tang's good words, he finally agreed that Zhang Tang would lead his own battalion of men and horses to support Meng Tian. In this way, even if what Meng Tian said is true, he still has military merits to take, so why not do such a good thing?

Meng Tian and Zhang Tang took off their armor, changed into the clothes of the caravan running through the grassland, rode two horses, and drove towards the capital of Yiqu without weapons.

On the road, the two rode side by side, and Meng Tian asked Zhang Tang, "Brother Zhang, how long have you been in the patrol camp?"

Zhang Tang rode on the horse and turned sideways slightly, and was very respectful to this little general who was much younger than his age, "The villain was originally a border guard, and he was stationed in the city of my Daqin frontier on weekdays, and when the enemy army attacked my Daqin, the villain was also ordered to lead the army to kill the enemy. Later, because the villain did not discipline his soldiers well and committed military discipline, there happened to be horse thieves on the grassland who robbed money from the caravans, so he was sent to the patrol camp to be a small barnyard general. ”

When Meng Tian heard Zhang Tang say that he had also been on the battlefield, he suddenly became interested and asked, "Has Brother Zhang also led troops to the battlefield before?"

When Zhang Tang heard Meng Tian ask about his going to the battlefield, he looked up at the sky, seemed to have some memory, and said: " When I went to the battlefield, General Bai Qi of my Qin State was still leading the troops, because I practiced boxing and kicking at home for a few years before joining the army, so after joining the army, I was honored to become Wu Anjun's personal soldier, and followed Wu Anjun to fight on the battlefield until Wu Anjun was given death by the king, the villain was deposed, and he was assigned to the place of the former Chu State as a small city guard, and then slowly relied on military merits to get to today. ”

"Wu Anjun!" Meng Tian heard Wu Anjun's name come out of Zhang Tang's mouth, and shouted excitedly, "Brother Zhang, oh, no, I should call you Uncle Zhang, your age may not be much worse than my father, can you tell me a little more about Wu Anjun." ”

Zhang Tang saw that Meng Tian suddenly changed his tone and called out to his uncle, so he hurriedly humbly said: "No, no, young general, the villain is ashamed, since the young general likes Wu Anjun's affairs, when the matter of Yiqu is over, the villain must talk to the young general for three days and three nights." ”

Meng Tian said happily: "Okay, a word is a certainty. ”

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the gate of the Yiqu Capital. The Qin soldiers at the gate were still tightly guarded, and all those who entered and left the city were strictly checked, and all those with metal utensils on their bodies were detained, pulled aside and carefully interrogated, and only after the interrogated person presented definite evidence would they be released.

Meng Tian and Zhang Tang glanced at each other, and Zhang Tang said: "Young General, let's go in, the young general has come once, I'm afraid that the soldiers guarding the city will recognize it, so this time let the villain walk in front, and the young general just follow behind." ”

Meng Tian nodded, let Zhang Tang ride a horse in front of him, pulled down the hood on his head a little, and then followed Zhang Tang's horse towards the city gate.

Zhang Tang rode a horse and walked in front, arrived at the gate of the city, showed his military seal to the Qin soldiers at the gate, and then said that he was followed by his cronies, and the soldiers guarding the city saw that this person was a friend of their commander, and they did not dare to slack off, and after checking the seal, they let the two enter the city.

After entering the city, Zhang Tang did not take Meng Tian directly to the military camp in the capital to meet his friend, but walked around Yiqu City with Meng Tian, and then sat down in a restaurant not far from the military camp, and asked for a large portion of roast mutton unique to the grassland, and some side dishes, plus two jars of good wine. After Zhang Tang finished this, he sat down and said to Meng Tian: "My brother is not lustful and not good at gambling, but he prefers wine and meat, especially this kind of barbecue mutton. But then again, the roast mutton of the Yiqu people tastes really good, and the young general will try it after eating a little. ”

After Zhang Tang said this, Meng Tian understood why Zhang Tang brought him here, he tore off a piece of roast mutton on the table and ate it into his mouth, nodding, indicating that the roast mutton here does have a unique flavor, and it tastes a little better than what he ate in the Qin Palace.

Not long after the two of them sat down, a Qin soldier in armor came in, and the leader looked like a captain, and after a few people came in, they said a word to the owner of the restaurant, and then found a table to sit down, at this time it was not yet time to eat, so there were not many people in the restaurant, plus Meng Tian and Zhang Tang, there were only four tables of people.

After a while, the restaurant owner brought the food that the Qin soldiers wanted, and then brought a few jars of wine for these people. When these Qin soldiers saw the wine and food coming up, they began to eat.

"When did the Qin army stipulate that soldiers were allowed to drink alcohol while wearing military uniforms?"

Such a sentence suddenly came out of the restaurant, and Qin Bing, who was eating and talking, and the other two tables of guests stopped their hands and mouths. The guests at the other two tables seemed to be businessmen who came to eat and write and then prepared to go out of the city, except for the restaurant owner and Meng Tian, there was no one else in the restaurant, and the restaurant owner was a very familiar person, so the people who said this must be these two people who eat.

A Qin soldier stood up, walked to the seat of Meng Tian and Zhang Tang, and said, "Hey, who are you two people?

It was Meng Tian who spoke just now, but Meng Tian didn't answer this Qin Bing's words, but Zhang Tang opened his mouth: "What's the matter, Brother Wang, I haven't known my brother and me since I haven't seen you for a few years, but I took you to eat a lot of barbecue back then." ”

When the lieutenant of the Qin soldiers heard this, he was like a lightning strike, turned his head to look at it, and asked, "But Brother Zhang Tang?"

Zhang Tang stood up, turned to look at the Qin Soldier Captain, and said, "Who else but me remembers that you love barbecue so much? I've been waiting for you here for a long time." ”

Seeing that it was really Zhang Tang, the Wu Chang surnamed Wang quickly stood up, stood in front of Zhang Tang, and said: "Brother Zhang, is it really you? Hey, by the way, Brother Zhang, why did you come to Yiqu City when you weren't in the patrol camp? Could it be that you made a special trip here to eat barbecue?"

Zhang Tang patted the shoulder of the lieutenant surnamed Wang, smiled, and said, "Why did you come for my brother, I'll tell you later, come, I'll introduce you to someone first." Then he turned sideways and pointed to Meng Tian, who was sitting, "This is Major General Meng Tianmeng." Then he said to Meng Tian: "Young General, this is my fellow villager, Wang Fei." ”

Meng Tian put down the barbecue in his hand, wiped his hands, and stood up, "Captain Wang, fortunately." ”

When Wang Fei heard Meng Tian's name, he was so frightened that he stepped back. Pointing at Meng Tian, he stammered and said, "No, you...... You're not dead...... Is it dead? How can it still be here?"

Seeing that Wang Fei said that he was dead, Meng Tian asked with a smile: "Where did Wang Duwei get the news? Besides, why did I die? Can Wang Wuchang tell me? ”

Zhang Tang stood next to him and didn't speak, he knew that his mission had been completed, and what he did next was up to Meng Tian.

Wang Fei said: "Lord Gao Weigao, the general next to the general, said you, oh, no, the young general found the killer who assassinated the general in the palace, and then fought with him, and was accidentally plotted by the killer's companion during the battle, and then died with a girl. ”

After listening to Wang Fei's words, Meng Tian laughed and said, "It turns out that I died like this." But I want to ask Du Wei a word, what do you think of the guards in the palace a few days ago?"

"Although the villain is not guarding the palace, the guards outside the palace alone are already impenetrable, and even a bird can't enter the palace. ”

"Then since I can't even get in, how did the killer who assassinated the general get in?And if I was fighting with the killer, then why didn't I see any soldiers from the palace come to my aid, but let the killer kill me again, don't you think it's strange?"

Wang Duwei scratched his head and said, "The villain also doubted it, but the general manager and the deputy general said so, and the villain can only believe it." ”

Meng Tian turned his head to Zhang Tang and said, "Brother Zhang, it seems that the situation is not as optimistic as we thought." At first, Meng Tian only thought that there was only Gao Wei in the house at that time, the person who pretended to be Ying Guang, and the doctor was a person from the killer organization, but now listening to Wang Feiyi, it seems that there should be many people in the Qin army who are the killers of the Wei State organizing the Dark Bird, and even the high-ranking officers of the Qin army may be killed by the Dark Bird and then pretend to be their own people. If this is true, then the pressure on my side is really not small.
