Chapter Eighty-Six: A Legend of Love

Hearing Meng Tian mention the Great Wall, Wu Fei is naturally no stranger. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Great Wall, also known as the Great Wall, is a general term for the large-scale military projects built by ancient China at different times to resist the invasion of the alliance of nomadic tribes in northern China.

The remains of the Great Wall today are mainly the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, which was built in the 14th century, from Jiayuguan in the west to Hushan in Liaodong in the east. According to data released by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage in 2012, the total length of the Great Wall of China is 21,196.18 kilometers.

The Great Wall is the greatest miracle created by the ancient working people of China and a witness to China's long history. Together with Tiananmen Square and the Terracotta Warriors, it is regarded as a symbol of China by the world. At the same time, the Great Wall was listed as a World Heritage Site in December 1987, and on July 7, 2007, the Great Wall became one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

In ancient and modern times, everyone who has been to the Great Wall is amazed by its majestic momentum, magnificent scale, arduous engineering and disaster prevention significance. It is a combination of the wisdom, will, perseverance and endurance of the ancients.

Therefore, the Great Wall is a rare treasure, an extraordinary cultural relic and monument, and the crystallization of the great strength and wisdom of the Chinese nation.

During the summer vacation of his sophomore year of high school, Wu Fei once traveled to the Great Wall with his family. However, because it was the peak tourist season at that time, there were many tourists visiting the Great Wall, so he and his family only walked half way and returned the same way.

According to historical documents, in 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms, became the sole political power in China, and was restructured into an empire.

In 214 B.C., Qin Shi Huang sent the general Meng Tian to lead 300,000 people to attack the Xiongnu, occupy the Hetao, and began to connect the old city walls built by Qin, Zhao, Wei and Yan countries, stretching for thousands of miles from Lintao to Liaodong, and since then it has been called the "Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles".

At the same time as Qin Shi Huang was building the Great Wall in the north, the city walls used to "defend each other" between the original vassal states were demolished. The dismantled bricks and tiles were reused as raw materials for the Great Wall that is currently being built.

According to this historical information, combined with General Meng Tian's words, Wu Fei can know why there is such a miserable and bleak scene in Xianyang City at this time.

The construction of the Great Wall is a huge project that is very labor-intensive, time-consuming and costly, and in the era of backward science and technology in the Qin Dynasty, all the raw materials have to be transported manually, even if it is equipped with the strong power of the mechanism, it also has to be operated by a lot of labor.

Therefore, after Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, the prisoners of war from the other six countries were sent to work as coolies and build the Great Wall. Today's people only know the majesty and magnificence of the Great Wall, but they don't know how many people poured it with blood and sweat back then.

A well-known ballad handed down from ancient times - Meng Jiangnu crying the Great Wall, you can know that under the majestic body of the Great Wall, there are many bones buried.

Although Qin Shi Huang requisitioned millions of laborers and spent endless financial resources to build the Great Wall, the people were miserable and their relatives were displaced. However, later generations can prove that his practice of building the Great Wall was completely correct.

At the very least, it played a great role in resisting foreign invasions and protecting the territory of China.

When the army reached the center of the city, Meng Tian's lieutenant led the army to the school field to reorganize. Meng Tian took Wu Fei to the palace where Qin Shi Huang was located to report on the expedition of the army.

Due to Meng Tian's special identity, Wu Fei did not receive too many obstacles when they passed through many checkpoints. Almost all the way unimpeded to the inside of the palace, the entrance of the main hall where Qin Shi Huang dealt with government affairs.

While Wu Fei followed Meng Tian's footsteps, he was also admiring the majestic buildings and scenery of the palace. So much so that Meng Tian in front of him stopped, and before he could react, he still maintained the pace of moving forward.

"Who dares to trespass on the inner sanctum, there is no mercy for killing"!

The next moment, a long knife with a sharp and cold light suddenly appeared on Wu Fei's neck, which frightened him and almost sent his neck to the knife edge automatically.

"Lord Yingwei, the last general Meng Tian, he is the person that His Majesty is looking for, I bother Your Excellency to inform Your Majesty, and say that the last general led the army to defeat the Huns and returned victoriously, and I hope to report the military situation to Your Majesty in person."

Seeing that Wu Fei's life was in danger, Meng Tian hurriedly bent down and replied in a certain direction in the air.

"A godsend? Okay, wait a minute! I'll report to Your Majesty."

In the direction where Meng Tian bent over, an old voice answered. At the same time, the sharp blade around Wu Fei's neck was also withdrawn, as if it had never appeared.

"Damn, this long knife that suddenly appeared somewhere scared me to death"! It wasn't until the other party took the long knife away that Wu Fei had a feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

"This is the exclusive escort of His Majesty, the Shadow Guard, and they are solely responsible for His Majesty's safety in normal times. Anyone who approaches the inner sanctum without being summoned by His Majesty will receive their fatal blow. You don't have to panic, just get used to it".

Seeing Wu Fei's loveless expression, Meng Tian comforted.

"This special one time scared me half to death, and I don't want to come here for the second time in my life."

Although he thought so in his heart, he muttered in his mouth: "General Meng, I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

The two waited outside the main hall for about three or four minutes, and a man dressed as a eunuch hurriedly walked out of the gate.

"General Meng, Your Majesty is handling government affairs, and he asked me to tell you that a banquet will be held in the Jinluan Palace in the evening to receive General Meng. When the time comes, it will not be too late for General Meng to come to meet again!"

"Okay, since Your Majesty is dealing with state affairs, then I won't bother much, and I will definitely go to the banquet as promised in the evening. Lord God-send, come back with me first!"

As he spoke, Meng Tian grabbed Wu Fei's arm and turned to leave.

The atmosphere here is very depressing, and even Meng Tian, who has been fighting in the field for many years, doesn't want to stay here for a minute longer

Meng Tian's mansion was personally ordered by Qin Shi Huang, and it is located in the center of Xianyang City, a mansion with an area of about 1,000 square meters. According to modern housing prices, it is not a problem to be worth tens of millions of dollars. In ancient times, it was also the largest mansion that was second to none.

After all, Meng Tian's status as a general is there, and it is normal to have such a mansion.

"General Meng"!

After Wu Fei and Meng Tian arrived at the door of the mansion, the two guards who were guarding saw their general returning and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

"Hmmm"!

Meng Tian nodded at them, and then strode towards the meteor inside.

"Beloved, you're finally back"!

At this time, from the inner hall of the luxurious mansion, a woman wearing a brocade robe walked out, walked quickly to Meng Tian's side with light steps, and said with affection.

"Well, Lian'er, when I am away on the expedition, everything will be fine at home"? Meng Tian looked at his wife who was waiting for his return with a pair of eyes full of tenderness.

This beautiful woman is Meng Tian's wife-Bu Xianglian.

She is a native of Shanlian Xibao, proficient in pen-making skills, and is offered as "pen lady". Legend has it that Meng Tian and his wife once taught the art of pen making to the villagers, and the local pen workers renamed the small river that runs around the village to commemorate the Menggong Shrine in the west of the village.

Today, there are two statues in the Menggong Temple in Shanlian Town, Zhejiang Province. One is the famous general Meng Tian of the Qin Dynasty, and the other is Bu Xianglian, who is known as "Bizu Niangniang".

Regarding the love between Meng Tian and Bu Xianglian, there is also a beautiful legend among the folk.

It is rumored that Qin Shi Huang sent Meng Tian to Jiangnan in order to collect money, and one evening, when Meng Tian's army passed through Shanlian, he suddenly heard a girl shouting for help in the river, so he jumped into the river without thinking and rescued the girl, this is Meng Tian's future wife Bu Xiulian.

At this time, Bu Xiulian's parents died, and she was already surrounded by the family, and she was still exploited by the government, so she wanted to commit suicide and was rescued, so they met. Meng Tian learned about the hard work of the local peasants, so he distributed the money to the poor villagers, disbanded the army, and retired to the countryside.

Once, Meng Tian picked up a handful of wool on the way to find Bu Xianglian, and casually inserted it on a bamboo pipe and took it to Bu Xianglian's house. Xianglian heard that Meng Tian's handwriting was very good, so Meng Tian wrote a few to Xianglian with the Fu Yu pen she had just made, although the words were beautiful, but the wool was too hard to use.

Meng Tian told Xianglian about his intention to marry Xianglian and make a living by making a pen, and casually put the pen on the windowsill. But the pen accidentally rolled down to the window under the lime letter was soaked overnight, the next day Xianglian found the pen, combed the hair with a horn comb, and used a hairpin to get rid of the miscellaneous hair, cherishing it like a treasure. By the time Meng Tian used the pen again, it was much easier to use.

Later, in order to commemorate them, people built a Menggong Ancestral Hall, erected the statues of the two in it, and renamed the river when they met Mengxi.

"All well! This little brother is "? After the two were sweet, Bu Xianglian noticed the existence of Wu Fei and the white wolf who were watching from the sidelines.
