Chapter 180: Zheng Guo (II)
"Presumably you're Lord Zheng Guo, right?" the mysterious man sat opposite Zheng Guo, a long sword standing on the table, and his voice seemed to be a young man.
Zheng Guo put down the wine glass in his hand and rubbed his eyes with his hands, trying to see who was sitting across from him. When he saw it clearly, he found that there was a young man on the other side.
The young man had a plump complexion, his hair stood up with a blue ribbon and a gemstone set on it. The clothes on his body are not very gorgeous, but they are dressed like the most popular ranger costumes in the world. After Zheng Guo saw the person clearly, he tried to recall the memories of this person in his mind, but at this time he was almost drunk, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't hear the identity of the person in front of him.
The young man in front of him seemed to know what Zheng Guo was thinking, he twisted a peanut from the plate on the table with his hand and threw it into his mouth, and then said to Zheng Guo: "Lord Zheng Guo don't need to be nervous, I have no ill will towards adults." On the contrary, I am here to be entrusted with a good opportunity to fulfill my ambitions. ”
Zheng Guo smiled, drank another glass of wine, and then said drunkly: "Young man, I don't care who sent you, you go back and tell your master, although I, Zheng Guo, am just a small water control officer, but if someone wants someone to exclude me and use this method to deceive me, I will not be fooled." You go, don't disturb me drinking, be careful that I call someone to get you. ”
The young man in front of Zheng Guo was naturally Meng Tian, and he and Meng Li led people from the Qin army camp to Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, in about three days. According to Han Fei, Zheng Guo has no place to live in Xinzheng City, and has always lived in his house, Meng Tian came to Han Fei's house after dark according to the address given to him by Han Fei, and he didn't want to meet Zheng Guo who was drinking alone.
Meng Tian couldn't help but smile helplessly when he saw that Zheng Guo was unmoved, but just recognized himself as the person sent by his officialdom opponent to test him. Meng Tian poured a glass of wine for Zheng Guo, and then poured a glass for himself as well, raised his glass and said, "It's too boring to drink alone, come, I'll give you a glass." With that, he raised his head and swallowed the whole glass of wine, and then showed the empty wine glass to Zheng Guo.
Zheng Guo hadn't drunk with anyone for a long time, and seeing that this strange young man had a good amount of alcohol, he felt that it was still a little interesting. Not to be outdone, Zheng Guo said, "Look at me." With that, he also drank the glass of wine in his hand, and also showed the wine glass to Meng Tian.
"Okay, come, I'll fill it up for the adults again. Meng Tian complimented, then lifted the flask and filled the glass in front of the two of them.
Zheng Guo looked at the young man sitting in front of him who didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, and he asked, "Young man, you."
What's the name? I don't remember the two of us knowing. ”
Meng Tian smiled slightly, "Of course, I'm not Korean, I don't live in this Xinzheng City, of course adults haven't seen me." Today is also the first time I have come to Xinzheng City, and in the afternoon I bought some fabric for my wife on the street, and then I came to meet the adults and deliver a message to the adults for others. ”
When Zheng Guo heard this, he asked, "Who asked you to come and deliver the news to me?"
"Your Excellency will open it and look at it. Meng Tian took out Han Fei's secret letter to Zheng Guo from his arms, and then handed it to Zheng Guo.
Zheng Guo took the token from Meng Tian's hand, and then opened it to take a look, although he was still a little drunk, but he still recognized the handwriting on this envelope, which was a letter written to him by his friend Han Fei. Zheng Guo hurriedly opened the letter, sat up straight, and read the letter carefully.
It didn't take long for Zheng Guo to finish reading the letter that Han Fei wrote to him, and after reading it, he seemed to be sobering up. Zheng Guo closed Han Fei's letter and raised his head to look at Meng Tian who was sitting opposite him: "You are the Meng Tian of the Qin State, the Meng Tian who almost killed the Xinling Jun of the Wei State with an arrow at Hangu Pass?"
"It's like a fake. ”
After Zheng Guo was confirmed, he looked at Meng Tian carefully again, and then said: "Yes, at such an age, he already has the demeanor of a general, it seems that it is the blessing of the Qin State and the worry of the world." ”
Meng Tian didn't understand why Zheng Guo said this, "Why did Lord Zheng Guo say this, I, Meng Tian, am from Qin, and I, the king of Qin, pointed out by Jianfeng, then I will lead my troops there, is there anything wrong with this?"
Zheng Guo returned Han Fei's letter to Meng Tian, but he did not answer Meng Tian's question, he said to Meng Tian: "This matter is too long to talk about, just don't talk about it." I already understand what Han Fei said in the letter. I can go with you and go to Qin State as an official, but I have something to say ahead, if I can't get your approval of my water diversion plan in Qin State, then please put me in Shu County of Qin State. I admire Li Bing and his son, who built Dujiangyan, and I want to go there to be a petty official. ”
Meng Tian didn't expect Zheng Guoguo to make such a request, which was not a troublesome thing, and Meng Tian directly agreed.
Seeing Meng Tian agreeing so readily, Zheng Guo continued: "Before I go over, I want to ask General Meng to help my class with something. ”
"What's the matter?" Meng Tian asked.
Zheng Guo said: "The general doesn't know, this measurement into the ground, digging ditches requires very precise measuring tools, I also have a set of tools I invented myself, but they were locked in the warehouse by my boss, since I promised Han Fei to go to Qin, then this set of tools is natural."
I can't stay here, I want General Meng to help me get it back. ”
Meng Tian thought for a moment, and then agreed to Zheng Guo's request: "Since this is the case, then I will take it back for the adult." However, I don't know the tools that adults use, so I wonder if they can tell me what this set of tools looks like, and I can find them and get them back. ”
Zheng Guo drank another glass of wine and said happily: "That's nature. This set of tools of mine was developed by combining the sexagenary branches, astrological positions, etc., which took me years to research, and it grew ......."
It was already midnight when Meng Tian came out of Han Fei's house, and the streets of Xinzheng were deserted, and there was no one. Meng Tian cautiously returned to the inn where he and Meng Li and the others were staying, and found Meng Li, who had not yet slept, Meng Tian told Meng Li Zheng Guo's request, and then Meng Tian hoped to go and get Zheng Guo's set of tools back tonight.
Meng Li naturally has no problem, he was originally a killer, and he is naturally familiar with doing things at night. The two of them changed into black night clothes, and then jumped out of the second floor of the inn and disappeared into the night.
Zheng Guo's set of tools was painstakingly researched, and it could completely replace the previous set of measuring tools. However, Zheng Guo's set of tools was discovered by his superiors, and then his superiors wanted to take it for themselves, and then asked his superiors for credit, for fear that Zheng Guo would ruin his good deeds, so he often suppressed Zheng Guo these days. However, it was his suppression that made Zheng Guo directly agree without thinking about it when he learned that his friend Han Fei wanted to invite him to Qin State as an official.
Meng Tian and Meng Li came to the treasury of the Korean Navy Minister's Mansion that Zheng Guo said. I have to say that this water official's mansion is indeed a government without oil and water, and there is only one person who watches the gate, and there is no one else. This surprised Meng Tian and Meng Li, the two came directly to the warehouse, Meng Li removed the bronze hairpin on his head, and opened the copper lock on the warehouse door without much effort.
Zheng Guo's set of tools was easy to identify, and Zheng Guo's superiors placed it in a very conspicuous position, so the two of them put it in the baggage they brought with them and took it away.
Not long after Zheng Guogang lay down, he felt that someone was pushing his body, and when he opened his eyes, he was about to get angry, when he saw Meng Tian and another big man in black standing in the room. Meng Tian pointed to the table in the room, Zheng Guo looked over, and was immediately overjoyed, it was his own set of tools.
"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow. Zheng Guo was moved by Meng Tian's neatness and said to the two people.
Meng Tian and Meng Li glanced at each other, they didn't expect this mission to go so smoothly, and they could leave for home tomorrow.
