Chapter 126: Burning the Poppy Fields (1)

This time, it was the same doctor who came to treat Meng Tian's injuries last time, and the injuries on Meng Tian's body were almost healed after the last bandaging treatment, so this time the old doctor checked Meng Tian and found that there were no other heartaches.

Zi Yanran and Meng Li sent the old doctor downstairs, and the old doctor found that Zi Yanran's face was a little bad when he went out, so he wanted to check Zi Yanran's pulse before leaving. At first glance, she was shocked, it turned out that Zi Yanran was pregnant.

When Meng Tian learned about it, he hurriedly ran downstairs, and when he saw Zi Yanran sitting in the lobby, he ran over and held her hand tightly, unable to speak excitedly.

Zi Yanran looked at Meng Tian with tears in her eyes as she stepped forward and hugged Meng Tian tightly.

Just as the two were hugging, the old doctor coughed, and Meng Tian and Zi Yanran noticed that there were still old doctors and Meng Li next to them, and then the two separated, and Zi Yanran blushed with shame.

The old doctor looked at Meng Tian and said, "My lord, there is something that the little old man doesn't know whether to say or not?"

Meng Tian helped Zi Yanran sit down, then looked at the old doctor and said, "The old gentleman has something to say, please speak." ”

The old doctor looked at Meng Tian, then at Zi Yanran, and then said to the two: "It is a great joy for Madame to be pregnant, but when Xiao Lao'er checked Madame's pulse just now, she felt that Madame's pulse was a little disordered. ”

"What did you say?" Meng Tian stood up after listening to the doctor's words and said nervously.

Although the little old man didn't want to admit it, Madame's pulse was indeed like this. I wonder if my wife has taken a lot of drugs these days, so that the fetus in the womb has completely failed to resist the erosion of these drugs, and thus dies. ”

Meng Tian and Zi Yanran were like lightning strikes, Zi Yanran had red eyes, stroked her little belly with her hand, lowered her head and said nothing. Meng Tian got up from his chair and kicked a table next to him away, then slammed into the pillar and shattered.

Meng Li didn't know what to say, he just learned that he had a child, but he was told that the child died before he was born, which means that no one may be able to bear this kind of hurt.

Meng Tian walked to Zi Yanran's side and said, "Yanran, you go upstairs first to have a good rest, don't worry about the child's affairs, okay?"

Zi Yanran hugged Meng Tian's waist, buried her face in Meng Tian's clothes, and cried. Meng Tian held Zi Yanran's shoulder with one hand, stroked Zi Yanran's hair with the other, and whispered: "Yanran, you are still young, we can have another child." Don't be too sad this time, your body is not well, don't hurt yourself again because of this, okay?"

Zi Yanran didn't cry, just hugged Meng Tian tightly. Meng Tian beckoned Xue Bin to come out of the counter and asked him to send Zi Yanran back to the room upstairs.

When Xue Bin sent Zi Yanran upstairs and then came down, Meng Tian asked the old doctor to send the old doctor out of the inn, and then sat in the inn hall without saying a word.

Except for a soldier of the Meng family army who was injured yesterday, everyone came to the hall, standing or sitting, and everyone looked at Meng Tian.

Meng Li stood behind Meng Tian on the left side, and after being silent for a while, he walked to Meng Tian and sat down, looked at Meng Tian and said, "Young General, all this is because of the Xiang family, let me lead the brothers to burn all their poppies and avenge the young lady and the unborn little general." ”

"Yes, revenge. The soldiers of the Meng family army in the hall shouted in unison.

Meng Tian's face was gloomy and he waved his hand to signal quietness. Then he picked up a glass of water on the table and drank it, and after putting down the glass, Meng Tian said: "Of course I will avenge this revenge, and I will revenge it ruthlessly." It's just that we don't have enough manpower now, and this is the Chu State, although it is not far from Nanjun, but it takes two days to travel back and forth. So we can only put this hatred aside for the time being. ”

"Major General, we are not afraid of death, the Xiang family of Chu Guoxiang deceived people too much, and we couldn't bear it with such a despicable means to make the young general lose his child. Xue Bin said indignantly.

Meng Tian shook his head, "You didn't understand what I meant. This time, the Xiang family used poppy medicine to harm me and Yanran, of course we have to avenge this revenge, but now our strength is not enough for us to compete with the Xiang family here. So I decided to start with the poppies and burn them all at night, and as for my children, I will definitely avenge this revenge in the future. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it tonight, I'll personally lead the team, and I'm going to burn all the poppies of the Xiang family, and I won't leave any of them behind. Meng Li said.

Meng Tian looked at Meng Li and said, "I am relieved to have my eldest brother do it himself." Pay attention to the Xiang family's Xiang Yu, they only need to burn their poppy fields tonight, and retreat immediately once they are discovered, and those who violate the order will be dealt with according to military law. ”

"Yes. "I love

"Also, send someone to send the king's letter to Mi Tao's home, originally I wanted to go and ask him about the poppy in person, today we burned the poppies of the Xiang family, and we must have made an enmity with the Xiang family, and going to the hinterland of Chu will be several times more dangerous, so I can only inform them by letter. This matter is handed over to you, Xue Bin, you must deliver the letter safely. ”

"The subordinates obeyed. Xue Bin responded with a fist.

After arranging the night's actions, Meng Tian dismissed everyone to prepare, and then returned to the upstairs room.

In the room, Zi Yanran stood next to the window, looking at the Miluo River outside the window, with her hands on her lower abdomen, the tears on her face had not dried, thinking that she should have cried for the child in her womb again.

Meng Tian walked over and hugged Zi Yanran from behind, put his chin on Zi Yanran's shoulder, and gently kissed Zi Yanran's cheek.

Zi Yanran rubbed her face against Meng Tian's cheeks, which had grown a little beard, and said softly, "I'm sorry." ”

Meng Tian hugged Zi Yanran tightly and said to her: "Yanran, I don't blame you for this matter, it's my fault, I didn't protect you well." ”

Two lines of tears flowed from Zi Yanran's eyes, and she closed her eyes and snuggled in Meng Tian's arms without speaking.

Meng Tian continued: "All of this is caused by the Xiang family of the Chu State, you can rest assured that I will not let them go." For the sake of our children, and for your sake, I will never forgive anyone who dares to hurt you. ”

Zi Yanran opened her eyes and turned around, looked at Meng Tian in front of her and said, "What do you want to do?" I have lost my child, I can't lose you anymore, promise me, let's go home, okay?"

Meng Tian wiped away Zi Yanran's tears with his hand, and said gently: "I have already made arrangements, tonight I will have someone send you back to Qin State first, I will go to the Xiang family's Zhuangzi to do some things, and I will ride a horse to chase you tomorrow morning." You know Black Wind is fast, so I'll catch up with you about tomorrow night, and we'll go home together. ”

"What are you going to do there?" Zi Yanran grabbed Meng Tian's hand tightly, for fear that he would do something stupid for himself.

Meng Tian smiled slightly, "I'm just going to collect some interest from the evil things done by the Xiang family first, and in the future, I will definitely lead troops to destroy the Chu State and the Xiang family, and now we are under their noses, I still have this self-knowledge, don't worry, take care of yourself." ”

Zi Yanran knew that no one could change what Meng Tian decided, and told him to take good care of himself, if something happened to him, he didn't want to live.

Meng Tian promised Zi Yanran that she would come to her alive, and left the room after helping Zi Yanran to bed and lying down to rest.

As dusk came, a carriage drove into the inn and stopped in the courtyard. Then Meng Tian took Zi Yanran downstairs and put Zi Yanran in the carriage. The carriage was covered with a quilt and it was comfortable to sit in. Zi Yanran reluctantly parted from Meng Tian, but Zi Yanran didn't want Meng Tian to go to avenge her child, but she couldn't stop Meng Tian, so she had to let him take someone with her.

Meng Tian and Meng Li stood at the door of the inn, watching the carriage in which Zi Yanran was sitting disappear at the end of the road. Meng Tian opened his mouth and asked, "How is it, are the things you need for the night operation ready?"

Meng Li nodded, this night operation was a secret operation, and he only needed to sneak near the Xiang family's Zhuangzi and burn the poppy fields around the Zhuangzi with fire oil. So this time, Mengli secretly bought a large amount of fire oil, and packed it with a water bladder filled with water, and everyone brought at least five water bladders, and each water bladder contained three catties of fire oil, which should be enough.

"Okay, tell the brothers to go after dark. ”

Xue Bin led the horse to Meng Tian and Meng Li. Seeing Xue Bin coming, Meng Tian wrote a letter from King Yingzheng of Qin to Mi Fang'er and a jade pendant, he told Xue Bin that this jade pendant was a token of love from King Qin to Mi Fang'er, the lord of Chu County, and it must be kept well, and there was also a letter written by himself, in which he told Mi Tao that the Xiang family intended to use poppies to harm the Qin royal family, hoping that he could use the power of the royal family to put pressure on the Xiang family in Chu State.

Xue Bin put away the jade pendant and the letter, reassuring Meng Tian, saying that he would complete the task even if he lost his life. Meng Tian smiled and patted Xue Bin's head, and then watched him ride away.

Meng Tian and Meng Li returned to the inn, and all the remaining soldiers of the Meng family army changed into night clothes. Meng Tian and Meng Li also changed their clothes, then simply ate something, and when it was completely dark, they left the inn with the people.

With the experience of going to Zhuangzi last time, Meng Li took the lead in leading the way, avoiding several secret whistles of the Xiang family along the way, and then reached the vicinity of Zhuangzi.

Unlike during the day, Zhuangzi was brightly lit at night, but there was no one around the poppy fields except for some ordinary Chu people who were attached to the Xiang family and Zhuangzi and his vassals. After finding out about this situation, Meng Tian sighed that it was really God's help, and he would definitely leave an unforgettable memory for the Xiang family tonight.
