After resting, Meng Tian and Zi Yanran rode the sweat and blood horse together and rushed to the original capital of Yiqu in less than a stick of incense, not so much that the capital is actually a large village surrounded by an earthen wall made of mud, despite this, this capital is the only place in Yiqu where people settle. In general, herders on the grasslands migrate with the seasons, and when the aquatic grass in one place dries up, they migrate to another. But the Yiqu capital is different, it is built on the grassland, the door is the Yellow River, so there is no shortage of water and grass, the ancestors of the Yiqu people settled here, and then with the contact with the Qin people, they learned to build civil houses, and build city walls, forming today's Yiqu capital.

Meng Tian and Zi Yanran rode sweaty horses to the gate of the capital, and there were a large number of Qin soldiers guarding the gate, and some soldiers kept checking the pedestrians entering and leaving the capital. At the gate there was a foothold of the Qin caravan, and many Qin caravans set up stalls at the gate of the capital, selling their goods to passers-by. Meng Tian and Zi Yanran dismounted in front of a tea stall, tied the sweaty horse to the wooden stake at the door, and the two walked into the tea stall, found a table, and asked the boss for a bowl of tea.

After pouring tea for Meng Tian and Zi Yanran, the owner of the tea stall was about to leave, but Meng Tian called out to him: "Boss, is it so strict to check when you enter the city now?"

The tea stall owner turned to Meng Tian and said, "This lord and lady are from out of town, right?"

Zi Yanran saw that the boss called her Madame, her face turned even redder, and she didn't speak. Meng Tian laughed stupidly and said, "Yes, my wife and I came from Xianyang, and we are going to come to the grassland to buy some leather goods, and then go home to honor the elders of the family, so I also ask the boss for more guidance." After speaking, he took out a few Qin State coins from his pocket and handed them to the boss. Originally, Meng Tian didn't bring money with him, according to him, he would live in the military camp and his home in the future, and he couldn't use coins at all, so Meng Tian never brought money with him, and these coins were still a bag that Du Hui gave him when he broke up with Du Hui the day before yesterday, which contained his official title evidence and some gold and some Qin coins.

The owner of the tea stall accepted Meng Tian's coins, looked around, and saw that no one noticed him, walked to the table where Meng Tian and Zi Yanran were sitting, and whispered: "I see that you two are not dressed like us ordinary people, why haven't you heard of what happened in this place of Yiqu?"

Zi Yanran was strange, could it be that there were still things in Yiqu that she didn't know? Zi Yanran opened her mouth and asked, "What's the matter, what happened to Yiqu?"

"It is said that the general of the Qin State stationed here a few days ago was assassinated. The boss whispered.

"What? What happened to the general of the Qin State? Did you catch the heat that killed him?" asked Meng Tian.

The owner of the tea stall pointed to the entrance to the city and said, "Look, if you catch it, do you still need to check it so strictly?" That Qin general did not die at that time, but I heard that the weapon of the person who killed him was smeared with poison, and now it is poisoned, and it is estimated that the general's life may not be saved. ”

After listening to the boss's words, Meng Tian picked up Zi Yanran and walked out, and at the same time threw a piece of gold on the table, and said, "Thank you, boss." Then they went to the door, and the two got on their horses and drove towards the door.

Zi Yanran saw that Meng Tian's face was not good, she knew that the matter was a little serious, and she didn't ask Meng Tian, she knew that even if she didn't ask, Meng Tian would definitely say it to herself.

The two rode to the door, but were stopped by the Qin sergeant at the door and asked them to dismount for inspection. Meng Tian didn't speak, and took out his general's seal letter from the bag hanging on the horse's belly and handed it to the Qin soldiers who were inspecting. The Qin soldier opened the package and saw that there was a heavy gold seal letter, which was engraved with 'General Meng Tian' in Qin characters, and learned that the person riding a horse in front of him was Meng Tian, the commander of the Meng family army of the Qin State, and hurriedly put the seal back in his bag, respectfully returned it to Meng Tian, and then ordered the soldiers to clear the road and welcome General Meng into the city.

The two rode directly into the city, and Zi Yanran said to Meng Tian on the horse: "I didn't expect that you, a general, are so famous in the Qin State, I see that Qin army soldier looks at you as if he saw a god." ”

Meng Tian kissed Zi Yanran lightly on the ear and said, "You are wrong, he didn't see me like he saw the gods, but saw the god of killing." The promotion level of the Qin army is very strict, although it is said that on the battlefield, you only need to cut off the head of an enemy to count it as military merit, but if you want to be promoted to a general by military merit, you have to kill thousands of troops and horses to become a general, so the soldier just now should not know my family background, so he is just in awe of my military merits. In the Qin army, only military merit is the only way to make others fear you. ”

Zi Yanran was kissed by Meng Tian's earlobe, felt itchy, touched Meng Tian's cheek with her backhand and said: "My man, I hope that you can return safely every time you go out in the future, I don't ask you to have many military achievements, I only need you enough, because I only have you." ”

Meng Tian didn't speak, and hummed heavily in Zi Yanran's ear.

Due to the assassination of the supreme general, when he entered the city, there were few pedestrians on the streets of the city, and most of the shops on both sides of the road were closed. A pair of Qin soldiers patrolled every short distance on the road, and as soon as they found a suspect, they immediately arrested them.

Meng Tian showed his seal to a pair of soldiers, and after asking where the general was stationed, he hurried over. It didn't take long to rush to the place where Ying Guang lived in the capital of Yiqu. Ying Guang lived in the original mansion of King Yiqu, saying that the mansion was just about the same as the better houses in Xianyang City, but this was already the best house building in the Yiqu Capital.

At this time, the gate was full of soldiers, and the gate was surrounded by water. After Meng Tian was stopped, he took out his seal letter and handed it to the Qin soldiers at the door. Qin Bing didn't dare to be sloppy when he saw Yin Xin, and hurriedly handed it over to his captain, who first walked to Meng Tian to his luggage, and then asked Meng Tian to wait at the door for a while, and went in to report it himself.

Meng Tian handed over the sweaty horse to the Qin soldiers guarding the door, and stood at the door with Zi Yanran waiting. After a while, the Wu Chang who went in to report walked out, walked in front of Meng Tian, returned the seal letter to Meng Tian, and then led the way in front and invited Meng Tian and the two of them to enter.

Zi Yanran followed Meng Tian into the former Yiqu Palace, which was now renamed the General's Mansion, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the luxury of the Yiqu Palace, which made Meng Tian, who was walking in front, feel speechless, he took a slow step, pulled Zi Yanran's arm, and said, "What is this." When I come back from fighting Rongdi in the north, I will take you back to my house to see my mother, my home is much better than here, and you can live wherever you want when the time comes. As she said this, Zi Yanran's face flushed, and she followed closely behind Meng Tian.

When he arrived at the place where Ying Guang lived, Meng Tian originally thought that the guards at the door were powerful enough, but he didn't expect that the guards here were even tighter than the door, the roof was arranged with archers, and the courtyard was covered with shield bearers and pikemen, and the pikemen actually wore heavy armor that they would only wear on the battlefield. This kind of armor is generally the Qin army in the face of the enemy has a large number of cavalry will let the specially trained soldiers wear this kind of armor, this kind of armor is extremely hard and heavy, after wearing it, only two holes are left on the whole body for the soldiers to see the road and the enemy in front, in addition to the whole body is sewn up in a piece of iron armor, so the average soldier can not bear this kind of armor at all, this kind of armor soldiers have to take off and rest after wearing half of the incense, otherwise they can wear it all the time to exhaust people to death.

There were Ying Guang's cronies waiting for Meng Tian at the door, and after seeing Meng Tian, he and Zi Yanran welcomed him in. After Meng Tian and Zi Yanran entered the house, they were stimulated by the smell of Chinese medicine in the room, and when they saw Ying Guang lying on the bed, Meng Tian hugged his fists and saluted: "Meng Tian, the commander of the Meng family's army, has seen Uncle Wang. ”

Ying Guang was lying on the bed, not knowing what the specific condition was, after hearing Meng Tian speak, he opened his eyes, moved his fingers, and said weakly: "General Meng is exempt, the old man is seriously ill, I can't get up to receive him." ”

Meng Tian walked over and saw Ying Guang lying on the bed, his face was pale, and he couldn't even raise his hand, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle Wang, don't say that, taking care of your body is the most important thing." ”

Ying Guang coughed twice, and the cronies standing by the bed hurriedly wiped the blood from the corners of Ying Guang's mouth with a handkerchief, Ying Guang waved his hand, signaling that he was fine, and then said to Meng Tian: "Shouldn't General Meng go to the north to resist Rong Di, why did he come to my Yiqu?"

Meng Tian saw Ying Guang asking himself, so he had to say: "Back to Uncle Wang, the last general met a group of robbers a few days ago and learned about what happened in Yiqu, so the last general came to investigate, and asked Uncle Wang not to blame Meng Tian for the crime of uninvited." ”

Ying Guang said: "The day before yesterday, the old man was assassinated, first write a repeat of the tragedy of Li Ding (the first Qin official sent to Yiqu), but the old man's life is also overnight, the old man just sent a report to the king yesterday, asking the king to send another official to Yiqu to garrison, I didn't expect General Meng to arrive today, and the old man can rest assured." From now on, General Meng, all the soldiers under the old man will be handed over to you, you must find out the reason for the rebellion of Yiqu, otherwise the old man and Master Li will die blindly. ”

Seeing Ying Guang say this, Meng Tian had to agree: "Uncle Wang, rest assured, the last general will definitely find out the murderer and avenge Uncle Wang." In this case, the last general will retire first, and Uncle Wang should recuperate with peace of mind. ”

"Okay, this is my confidant Gao Wei, if there is anything, General Meng can find him. Ying Guang pointed to the man standing at the head of the bed who had led Meng Tian and the two into the room just now.
