Chapter 22: The Goddess
When the sun set, Wang Ben looked for it, and when he saw the affectionate appearance of the two, he suddenly realized, where is just his sister-in-law, this is obviously the woman he likes, it would be good to say no, he would not be delusional, and he would not be delusional.
Zhang Nie knew that although these 30,000 dead soldiers won for a while, the Nuwa people could not be underestimated, and the divine sword was even more powerful, so he secretly withdrew the formation and sneaked away. He helped the Hu people just for wealth, fame and fortune, and these things were gone when they died. Now that the Nuwa people have been found, the most important thing at the moment is, of course, to take her blood so that she can live forever.
The soldiers sent by Meng Tian to inquire about the news found that the dead soldiers were very different, and immediately went back to tell Meng Tian. Yun Qiong heard the soldier's description of the person who must have cast the spell withdraw the soul control technique, and whispered to Meng Tian that those dead soldiers were now just ordinary soldiers. The soldiers who planted Gu before the Qin army had almost recovered, and the grain and grass had arrived, and Meng Tian ordered a surprise attack on the Hu people's military camp at night to drive them out of the Great Wall for hundreds of miles. Although Wang Ben was confused, Meng Tian had always been calm, and he had never been defeated in fighting with him so many times, and he believed in his decision. However, she became more and more curious about Yun Qiong beside Meng Tian, the witch doctor drove away the Gu and was nothing, but yesterday she was really sassy with a heroic posture of one enemy and one hundred, and the swordsmanship and martial arts were afraid that ten of them could not be resisted. General Meng Tian's strong martial arts were injured in many places, but she was only injured on her hand. Wang Ben admired her very much, and completely felt that she was not worthy of her.
The surprise attack at night, as expected, the Qin army won a complete victory, and the morale of the whole army was high, and the Hu people were driven hundreds of miles away by the victory. Meng Tian ordered Wang Ben to take a part of the soldiers to repair the Great Wall destroyed by the Hu people with the laborers, and the old work was repaired day and night, but it was repaired in a few days. Wang Ben was ashamed to ask Yun Qiong to guide him in swordsmanship as soon as he was free, although Meng Tian was a little unhappy, but it was not easy to say, after all, Yun Qiong's identity in the military camp was just a witch doctor, and it was understandable for Wang Ben, as a general, to order her to guide swordsmanship. After coming and going, this Wang Ben and Yun Qiong became good 'brothers'. Fortunately, Meng Tian knew Wang Ben and knew that he was not a bad-hearted person, but only occasionally had a bad word. But it will definitely not be forced, not to mention that he has already warned him. Wang Ben had long forgotten about the last time, as if it hadn't happened.
After a few days, Meng Tian's injury was almost healed, and after he explained to Wang Ben, he took Yunqiong back to Xianyang. Although he had made up his mind to go back to marry Yun Qiong this time, he was still a little nervous along the way. Yun Qiong could see it, but she didn't care, as long as he admitted that he liked him and wanted to marry him, if he really couldn't marry, she wouldn't blame him. Along the way, Yun Qiong used a smile to resolve the uneasiness in Meng Tian's heart.
Chapter 22: If She Is Well
As soon as Meng Tian arrived in Xianyang, after sending Yunqiong back to his home, he immediately went to the palace, and the emperor was quite happy to see Meng Tian, who had made another meritorious service, and ordered to reward Meng Tian with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, beautiful women and good horses.
Meng Tian saluted, humbly and sincerely asked the emperor to take back the reward. The emperor knew that Meng Tian had never loved those things and didn't say much, so he took back his fate.
After thinking about it for a long time, Meng Tian made a big salute and asked here: "Meng Tian has something to ask for today, and I hope Your Majesty will fulfill it." ”
The emperor was very puzzled, he didn't want gold, silver and jewelry, he didn't want beautiful women, what did he want? However, in view of Meng Tian's repeated meritorious contributions, the emperor still readily agreed.
"Meng Aiqing has something to ask for." "Meng Tian hopes that His Majesty will grant marriage. Meng Tian now meets a woman he loves and wants to marry her. Because he made a vow not to marry in the past, he was afraid that if he married a wife for no reason, he would definitely attract right and wrong. Your Majesty said that if you marry me, no one else will speak much. ”
"Lone will marry you now. Which lady is so blessed? ”
The emperor's readily agreed to make Meng Tian breathe a sigh of relief, and replied, "She is an orphan girl, called Yun Qiong, this year's Qianyan." ”
Yun Qiong, how do you seem to have heard this name, the emperor was stunned, and glanced at Zhao Gao beside him, Zhao Gao understood, and told the emperor in his ear that the eldest prince of Fusu said that the woman he wanted to marry was called Yun Qiong.
The emperor frowned, how can this be good, he just promised Meng Tian, how can Chrysostom change his words casually. But Fusu finally met someone he wanted to marry, Fusu is not young, and Gu has long hoped that he will get married and continue the royal bloodline as soon as possible. The emperor had to find a reason to prevaricate Meng Tian first.
"Orphan girl? This is worthy of Meng Aiqing. Meng Aiqing is a pillar of Great Qin, how can he marry an orphan girl casually. Go back and think about it. After all, it's an orphan girl of unknown origin. ”
Meng Tian was very strange, the emperor had never cared about the status of a woman, how could he care about himself this time. When Yun Qiong was mentioned just now, there was something wrong with the emperor's eyes, could it be that His Royal Highness Fusu said something to His Majesty? I can only go to His Royal Highness Fusu to ask for clarification later.
Meng Tian didn't dare to disobey the holy will, and replied after some deliberation: "Meng Tian came to ask His Majesty for marriage after thinking twice. Since His Majesty has some doubts, Meng Tian will go back and think about it. Meng Tian thanked His Majesty for his concern. ”
Meng Tian's words made the emperor a little embarrassed, after all, Meng Tian has always made meritorious contributions, was loyal, and never wanted any rewards, this time he just wanted to marry a woman, he first agreed, and then told him that he couldn't marry, which was indeed a bit excessive. The emperor didn't want to talk to Meng Tian anymore, so he found an excuse to let Meng Tian retreat first.
After Meng Tian left the emperor's bedroom, he went straight to the Xihua Palace in Fusu. Meng Tian stood outside the Xihua Palace, and was very uneasy when he heard the melodious and affectionate sound of the piano coming from the hall, he didn't expect His Royal Highness Fusu to be so affectionate. He hesitated outside the Xihua Palace for a while before entering. Fusu was very happy when he saw Meng Tian coming, and when he just wanted to mention to Meng Tian that he was going to marry Yunqiong, he was indeed preempted by Meng Tian.
"Meng Tian is here to tell His Highness Fusu today that Meng Tian and Yun Qiong are in agreement, and they hope that His Highness will be fulfilled. Just now I asked Your Majesty for a marriage, and Your Majesty agreed, but after hearing that it was Yunqiong, he asked me to go back and think clearly. I guess His Highness said something to His Majesty. Otherwise, how could His Majesty know about Yun Qiong and let me go back and think about it. ”
Fusu was shocked, how could this be, didn't Meng Yi say that Yun Qiong was just their sister, didn't Meng Tian love that Arou girl deeply, didn't she swear to marry a wife after she died.
Although Fusu wanted to marry Yun Qiong from the bottom of his heart, he wanted her to be happy, and she would not force her if she wanted someone. Fusu got up and said, "Brother Meng Tian still asked Yun Qiong to tell me personally that she likes Brother Meng Tian." ”
Meng Tian promised Fusu that he would bring Yun Qiong to Xihua Palace tomorrow to explain everything to him.
Zhang Nie, who had sneaked away from the Hu army, came to Xianyang three days ago under the pseudonym Xu Fu, and learned that the emperor was looking for a profound cultivator everywhere in order to obtain the method of immortality, so he went to the palace to sell a spell to the emperor. Zhang Nie did know some spells, and after some trickery, he claimed that he knew how to refine the elixir, and he could also let the emperor see the immortals. Xu Fu also said that he had to find the goddess and take her blood as an introduction, and take one jue a day for seven days to refine the elixir of immortality. Xu Fu took out another portrait and said that it was the goddess, and the emperor saw that the person in the portrait was absolutely beautiful and extraordinary, and he was even more convinced of what Xu Fu said. The emperor was anxious, and originally planned to let the palace painters copy it, and then post notices everywhere. Xu Fu said that if the goddess saw those notices, she might go back to the heavenly realm, so it was better not to be alarmed, and Xu Fu said that he calculated that the goddess was in Xianyang City, and asked the emperor to grant him an oracle that he could walk around anywhere, so that he could find the goddess earlier. The emperor immediately agreed.
Because Xu Fu knew from the beginning that his so-called goddess had a close relationship with Meng Tian, he did not look everywhere, only sent a few people to investigate near Mengfu, and repeatedly instructed anyone who saw the portrait of the woman in the painting, regardless of gender, to return to him. Today, those people saw that Yun Qiong, who had returned to Mengfu, was very similar to the person in the painting, and immediately went back to Xu Fu. After Xu Fu pondered for a while, he went straight to the Mengfu.
After hearing that Yun Qiong had returned home, Hexu took Meng Yi to Yun Qiong's residence, and she really wanted to see what kind of person this woman who had lost her soul as soon as she helped Brother Su said it. After he married to Mengfu, his temperament was very different from before, without the arrogance of a princess, and from time to time he would say some jokes to Xiaoyu and their maidservants.
After Hexu saw Yun Qiong, he liked it quite much, no wonder it made Brother Fusu fascinated, in terms of appearance, he was the most beautiful he had ever seen. But she is not only good-looking, but especially the aura of pure spirit, which really has to be liked.
He Xu whispered in Meng Yi's ear: "You definitely didn't want her to be a sister when you brought her here, right?" If I were a man, I would like her. No wonder Brother Fusu decided to marry her. ”
Meng Yi squeezed his warm hand, looked at her and smiled: "But in this life, you are destined to be a woman, and I am a man." You're going to marry me. ”
Yun Qiong was very happy and envious when she saw Meng Yi and the appearance of Harmony and Ming. After worshipping and seeing Hexu, he asked Meng Yi, "Hasn't Brother Meng Tian returned home yet?" ”
"Big brother went back to Xianyang City with you?"
Yun Qiong said a little anxiously: "Well, but he went to the palace a little beforehand. It's been two hours, and I haven't come back yet. ”
"Don't worry, maybe Your Majesty is happy to see him win another battle, and leave him in the palace to eat."
When Hexu looked at Yunqiong and talked about Meng Tian, that kind of look was a little strange, as if he was worried about the eyes of his beloved, affectionate and anxious, but Hexu didn't want to ask directly, so he asked euphemistically: "Why did Meng Tian go to the palace first, isn't there something urgent." ”
Yun Qiong paused and replied, "I should go to ask the emperor for marriage." ”
Meng Yi was amazed, looked at Yun Qiong and asked curiously, "Marriage?" Who to marry? It's great that the eldest brother is no longer bound by Sister Rou's affairs. But who is he going to marry? Since Sister Rou died, he has rarely had contact with women, and he has never heard him say which lady he likes. ”
Seeing that Yun Qiong's face was slightly red, Hexu's expression suddenly became cowardly, pulled Meng Yi's sleeve, and looked at Yun Qiong in a gesture.
Meng Yi suddenly realized and said in shock: "It's Yunqiong, you?" Big brother doesn't just treat you as a sister. He and you have only known each other for a few months, and he has never said that he likes you, why is he suddenly going to marry you. Do you like Big Brother too? ”
Yun Qiong nodded.
He Xu shook her head in her heart, poor her brother Fusu finally met a woman he wanted to marry but was about to become someone else's wife. She understands Fusu, he is bent on being good for Yun Qiong, if Yun Qiong likes Meng Tian, he will definitely not entangle.
Meng Yi had a headache, what if Meng Tian and Fusu were to fight for Yun Qiong.
Yun Qiong saw the two of them change their expressions, and her heart became more and more anxious.
The three were silent. At this moment, a slave hurriedly came to report that the national teacher was coming.
Meng Yi has always been disgusted with Xu Fu, a warlock like Xu Fu, but this Xu Fu won the favor of the emperor, not only made him a national teacher, but also convinced of what he said. Meng Yi asked the slave with some unhappiness: "Did the national teacher say anything?" ”
The servant replied, "The national teacher said that he came here at the behest of His Majesty. ”
Meng Yi sighed lowly, looked at Hexu and said helplessly: "I'll come when I go, you accompany Sister Yunqiong to chat here, and I'll come and pick you up when I turn back." ”
He Xu asked: "You can go with confidence, pay attention to what you say, this national teacher has won the favor of his father when he comes in, and I think it is on par with that Zhao Gao." ”
Meng Yi nodded, and said with a wry smile as he left, "Your Majesty's holy decree is a miracle that the national teacher will come to Mengfu in the middle of the night!" Could it be that there is some elixir of immortality in Mengfu, or an immortal from the sky. ”
Xu Fu relied on the emperor's favor and the holy oracle, and unceremoniously told Meng Yi that the goddess was in the Mongolian Mansion, and he came to take the goddess away during his visit.
Meng Tian secretly scolded in his heart, "This Jianghu warlock is really hateful, and he can't find any blind goddess and come to Mengfu to ask for someone." If he insists that some goddess is in the Mongolian Palace, if we don't hand it over, he will go to His Majesty to complain. It's hateful. ”
Seeing that Meng Yi was silent, Xu Fu took out the portrait, pointed to the portrait and asked, "I calculated that this goddess is indeed in your mansion today." Master Meng to see if it looks familiar. ”
When Meng Yi saw the portrait, he was startled, the person in the painting was not Yun Qiong. Meng Yi took a deep breath and pretended to be calm: "There are many people in my house, so I have to compare this portrait one by one." Late tonight, when I first came out, the princess had a lot of complaints, and Meng Yi didn't want to disturb the princess's rest again. The national teacher left this portrait, and I will call all the people in the house early tomorrow morning to compare. ”
Xu Fu said incomprehensibly: "The matter of the goddess is a holy oracle of His Majesty, and Xu Fu cannot delay it." ”
Meng Yi shouted: "The matter of the goddess is important, the princess has been unwell these days, Your Majesty hurts Princess Hexu the most, if you want to disturb and delay her rest, I'm afraid Your Majesty will not allow it." Please come back tomorrow. ”
Xu Fu saw that Meng Yi was full of anger and did not dare to provoke him again, after all, he was the princess's husband, Princess Hexu was the emperor's favorite princess, and the Montessori brothers were also deeply trusted by the emperor. I really want to offend them, but I'm afraid that it will not be easy to mix in the future. So he apologized and left in a hurry. After Xu Fu left, he sent a few more people to keep an eye on the Meng Mansion, and repeatedly told the goddess to report in time if she went out and sent someone to follow.
After Xu Fu left, Meng Yi took the portrait and hurriedly went to Yunqiong's house. Yun Qiong was still worried that Meng Tian didn't pay too much attention to Meng Yi's expression, but Hexu could see it clearly, and asked a little uneasily, "What's wrong?" When did the National Teacher come? ”
Meng Yi opened the portrait and recounted what had just happened to Hexu with some anger. He looked at Yun Qiong, looked at the portrait again, and sighed in his heart, I don't know if it was a red face or a red face.
Yun Qiong was quite surprised by what Xu Fu said about his goddess, could it be that he knew that he was from the Nuwa tribe. However, although the person in the portrait is indeed very similar to herself, Yun Qiong knows that the person in the painting is not herself but her aunt. Because there are several identical portraits in Master Kongsang's room. But how could that mortal get the portrait of his aunt? Yun Qiong was very puzzled, no wonder, after all, she didn't know that Twilight Liyuan, who had always been serious and rigid, would take her aunt's portrait to the Nuwa tribe every few years to get drunk, let alone think that Xu Fu had been to the Nuwa tribe.
