In the matter of the county guard of the eastern county, Xiao Ye Liu couldn't make a choice, or Meng Tian had already made a choice for him, even if he didn't want to really serve the Qin State, at least with the temptation of the position of the county guard, he would hand over the disciples who followed him, and he would lose the hearts of the people.

Meng Tian expected it to be good, before the time came, Li Qing and Xizi, who followed Liu Xiaoye to Liu's mansion, both returned to the county guard's mansion, but they didn't see Liu Xiaoye come with them. Before Meng Tian could ask, Xizi stepped forward and put the two cloth bags in her hand on the ground in front of Meng Tian. There were traces of blood on the outside of the cloth bag, and Meng Tian could even smell a smell of blood, it was obvious that the blood inside the cloth bag was still fresh and had not yet coagulated.

"General, the two thieves in Liu's mansion have been killed on the spot, and in the melee, Liu Xiaoye couldn't dodge, and was injured in the arm by these two with a knife, and he is now recuperating in the mansion, so he didn't come back with us. Li Qing said with his fists clenched.

Liu Xiaoye was injured, this is what Meng Tian didn't expect, he didn't know what Liu Xiaoye was doing, the doorman he raised hurt himself in the end, wouldn't it be a joke if it got out?"

Li Qing and Xizi nodded at the same time, and Xizi also said: "Back to the general, when these two thieves learned that the matter was exposed, they jumped under the wall in a hurry, and were injured by one of these two people in the confusion. But it's not a big deal, the doctor said that it just hurt the flesh and skin, and according to the precious medicinal materials in Liu's mansion, it won't be fine in a few days. ”

Li Qing and Xizi didn't understand Meng Tian's thoughts, since this Liu Xiaoye was also a big trouble for the general, why was he injured and the general was not happy? Li Qing and Xizi glanced at each other, and saw the same confusion in each other's eyes.

Meng Tian didn't look at the two heads in the cloth bag, Li Qing and Xizi didn't need to deceive him for this matter, not to mention that the two of them still had a grudge against those thieves. "Okay, I see, you guys go back first. Tomorrow I will leave for Xianyang, and I will hand over Dongjun to the two of you in the future, I hope you will not disappoint my expectations for the two of you and govern Dongjun well. ”

Li Qing and Xizi were both from poor families, and they had to go up the mountain to join the thieves, and now they can be treated by Meng Tianqing, not only exempting the two of them from the sins they committed when they were bandits, but also directly promoting them to the guards of Dongjun, so they ascended to the sky in one step, which is nothing more than this.

"General Xie! The general's promotion grace, the villain will never forget. Li Qing and Xizi once again knelt on the ground to Meng Tian and thanked Meng Tian for his grace.

After half a month of busyness, the affairs of Dongjun have finally been dealt with, and this time Dongjun can be described as a big purge from top to bottom. The county guard Huang Dong was removed from his official post and escorted to Xianyang to wait for the fall, and the county guard Ma Xiancheng died directly in his camp, and the other officials in the county did not change much, only some people who were particularly close to Huang Dong and Ma Xiancheng were caught in prison from the bed when they were having a good dream. And all this is really little known to the ordinary people of Dongjun, and some people who know the inside story are also silent, not daring to say more, for fear that one day they will be arrested in the middle of the night.

The situation in Dongjun has changed drastically overnight, although it has not been made public, but the people of Dongjun can detect some abnormalities after seeing the Qin army patrolling the streets, and the officials of Dongjun in the county guard are busy coming in and out.

As soon as the day dawned, all the soldiers of the Mengjia army in the Dongjun County Guard began to pack their luggage and prepare to return to Xianyang. Meng Tian and Meng Li walked side by side in the Meng family's military camp, followed by several personal soldiers of the two.

"General, the weapon captured from Qingfeng Village is really easy to use, use this knife to cut the strongest armor on the body of our Mengjia army soldiers, and you can see the flesh and skin when you go down with two knives. If all of our Mengjia army use such weapons, wouldn't it be invincible in the world. Meng Li was carrying a sword on his waist and a war knife captured from Qingfeng Village on the other, and looked at Meng Tian with excitement and said.

Meng Tian was very impressed by the weapons made by the rebels of Qingfeng Village with Martian stones, especially the sharpness of the blade, which was not much better than his own true sword.

"After all, the stones that fall from the sky are naturally different from the stones on the ground. However, I am afraid that such a weapon will not be possible for all the soldiers of our Mengjia army to have one hand, after all, this stone is so small, how can we create the huge number that our Mengjia army needs?"

Meng Li was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't think of this problem, and they were going to escort the remaining Martian Stone to Xianyang. When I arrived in Xianyang, His Majesty the Emperor saw the words on the Martian Stone, and I am afraid that it would be another bloody storm.

"General, the whole army is ready to set off at any time. A general came over and said to Meng Tian and Meng Li.

Meng Tian nodded and said to him: "Pass my order, and the whole army will set off immediately and set off for Xianyang." ”

What Meng Tian didn't expect was that when the soldiers of the Mengjia army left the barracks and walked on the streets in Dongjun City, the people in Dongjun City actually appeared on both sides of the street, and everyone looked in the direction of the barracks and watched the Mengjia Army walk in front of them.

At this time, the sun had not yet risen, but Meng Tian could still clearly see the happiness on the faces of the people of Dongjun on both sides of the street, as well as their admiration for the Meng family's army.

"Liu Zhendong, the county guard of Dongjun County, and the people of Dongjun sent General Meng Tian and the soldiers of the Mengjia Army to thank the general for clearing the thieves and the rebels of Qingfeng Village for the people of Dongjun. A loud voice came from the city gate not far away, Meng Tian could hear it on his horse, it was indeed Liu Zhendong's voice, it seems that he made this scene today.

After Liu Xiaoye finished speaking, the people on both sides of the street all knelt on the ground, and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the Meng family, congratulations to the general!"

Meng Tian showed a trace of displeasure on his face, he was most disgusted with these vain things, Liu Xiaoye had just put on such a big battle as soon as he took office, and he worked these people in Dongjun to come out to see him off, not to mention what he was for, but this matter made Meng Tian disgusted.

Meng Tian rode a horse and hurried to the gate of the city, and saw Liu Zhendong and several of his guests there, and there were some gold, silver and jewelry on a table next to him, as well as some carriages of grain, grass and baggage next to him. "What are you doing here, why do you bother so many people to see me off, I understand your kindness, there is really no need to do this. ”

Liu Zhendong clasped his fists at Meng Tian and said: "What did the general say, you have paid so much for Dongjun and the people of Dongjun, we should do these things." By the way, there are still some military funds and food here, please be sure to accept them, so as to reward the soldiers of the Mengjia army. Liu Xiaoye pointed to the things on the side and said to Meng Tian.

Meng Tian nodded to the deputy general beside him, and the deputy general received the instructions of the general, and led a team of soldiers to pull all the things prepared by Liu Xiaoye into the team, and walked out of the Dongjun City with the team.

Meng Tian looked at Liu Xiaoye and said to him: "I know that this is a piece of your heart, no matter what, maybe I will not come to Dongjun again in the future, this time I will spare you, I hope to hear your achievements in front of His Majesty in Xianyang City in the future, don't let me down." ”

What Liu Xiaoye saw from Meng Tian's eyes looking at him was not only expectation, but also shock, which made him frightened, so he had to bow his head and say yes repeatedly.

"Drive, let's go!" Meng Tian rode a horse in front of Master Liu, walked out of Dongjun City, and hurried towards Xianyang.

The army set off from Dongjun, walked on the spacious straight road, and finally arrived outside Xianyang City after more than 20 days, as usual, the large group of men and horses returned to the Mengjia army camp and stationed, Meng Tian and Meng Li took 500 people to escort the Martian Stone to meet His Majesty the Emperor in Xianyang City, and there was a prisoner car carrying Huang Dong.

When he arrived at the gate of Xianyang City, before entering the city, Meng Tian saw his brother Meng Yi and Zhao Gao of the CRRC Mansion waiting at the gate of the city, as if they were waiting for him on a special trip.

In front of Meng Yi and Zhao Gao, Meng Tian dismounted and motioned for the people behind him to wait in place.

When Meng Yi saw his eldest brother coming back, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked quickly to greet him, "Big brother, you are finally back." ”

Zhao Gao also followed behind Meng Yi, bowed to Meng Tian and bent down, then straightened up and said to Meng Tian: "Xiaguan meets the general and welcomes General Meng back to Xianyang." ”

Meng Tian just nodded to Zhao Gao and said to his younger brother, "What, are you waiting for me here?"

Meng Yi glanced at Zhao Gao beside him, and then said to his eldest brother: "Yes, Lord Zhao and I have been ordered by His Majesty to wait for the eldest brother here. ”

Seeing that Meng Yi's face was a little unnatural, Meng Tian knew that his younger brother must have something to say to himself, but I was afraid that it was a little inconvenient because of Zhao Gao beside him. "Since it was ordered by His Majesty, what is Your Majesty's will?"

"This is still a subordinate to the general. Zhao Gao walked in front of Meng Tian with a smile, and then said: "General Meng, Your Majesty has a will, Meng Tian's trip to Dongjun has exterminated the rebels for me, and brought back the Stone of Mars. As for the Martian Stone, it was handed over to Zhao Gao to escort the attack. ”

Meng Tian's face changed, His Majesty's will actually made him not have to rush into the palace to meet him as soon as he came back, but to go home to rest, which was not the style of the past.

Zhao Gao finished reading Yingzheng's will, and said to Meng Tian: "Don't misunderstand, General, Your Majesty is worried that the General has been injured in Dongjun, and after driving for so many days, his body will not be able to stand it, so he has already ordered the imperial doctor to bring the best medicinal materials in the palace to wait at the general's home to recuperate for the general." As for entering the palace to meet His Majesty, the general does not need to be in a hurry. ”

Meng Yi bowed slightly on the side, and after Meng Tian saw it, he was sure that this was His Majesty's will of the emperor, so he had to say to Zhao Gao: "Meng Tian has thanked Your Majesty for his kindness." Someone comes, hand over the Martian Stone to Lord Zhao. ”

Meng Li led the people to rush forward, handed over several carriages loaded with Martian stones to Zhao Gao, and then retreated to the side.

Zhao Gao's subordinates took over the carriage from the soldiers of the Meng family, and Zhao Gao said to Meng Tian and Meng Yi with a smile: "Okay, the affairs of the lower officials have been completed, so I will go back to the palace to meet Your Majesty first, so I will not bother the general's brothers here, and the lower officials will leave." ”
