"The Castle?"

Li Qing didn't expect that the place where Nangong was coming with him turned out to be the county guard mansion of Dang County, looking at the row of Qin soldiers in armor in front of the county guard's mansion, Li Qing frowned.

Nangong walked in front and made a gesture of invitation to Li Qing, the matter had come to this point, Li Qing knew that it was useless to hesitate, so he had to step into the county guard's mansion.

"Li Qing and Huang Meng, two brothers, you are here."

Entering the county guard's mansion, Meng Yi smiled and arched his hand to Li Qing and the others.

Huang Meng said in a deep voice: "I don't know what advice Lord Meng has for inviting my two brothers here?" ”

Meng Yi smiled and said: "Huang Meng, Chu people, my father was the personal guard of Chun Shenjun Huang Xie, after Huang Xie's death, you assassinated Li Yuan nine times without success. ”

When Huang Meng heard this, his face became a little ugly, obviously, this Meng Yi had already investigated all his information.

After Meng Yi finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Li Qing again, Li Qing looked at Meng Yi without fear, Li Qing was confident, no matter how powerful Meng Yi was, it was impossible for him to know his origin.

Sure enough, Meng Yi frowned and said slowly: "Brother Li Qing, I didn't find out your origin, you seem to have appeared out of thin air." ”

A smile appeared on Li Qing's face, appearing out of thin air? Theoretically, I really appeared out of thin air.

Meng Yi continued: "You are the descendant of Zhu Ying's predecessor, the sword master of the Chu State, I have basically determined this, in addition, you are also proficient in the art of winemaking, do you know how good the distilled liquor you brew?" That's the equivalent of royal wine. ”

Li Qing naturally knew that distilled liquor could be processed thousands of years later, and compared to the current brewing process of the Qin Kingdom, distilled liquor was definitely the best among the liquors.

Li Qing asked, "Then I don't know what Brother Meng is trying to do when he called me?" ”

Meng Yi looked at Li Qing and said seriously: "I don't know if Brother Li is willing to serve His Majesty the First Emperor." ”

As soon as Meng Yi said this, Li Qing and Huang Meng were both stunned, they had thought of many reasons why Meng Yi was looking for them, but they never thought that Meng Yi actually wanted to recruit Li Qing as an official.

Meng Yi looked at the shocked two, and said sincerely: "His Majesty the First Emperor is eager to seek talents, both of them are great talents, if they can return to Xianyang with me, they will definitely be reused." ”

Li Qing frowned and said, "I'm just a mountain and a wild villager, I don't have any skills, I don't know why Brother Meng values me so much?" ”

Meng Yi laughed and said: "Why is Brother Li so modest, don't say anything else, just your wine-making technique is to be a winemaker, and it is also deserved." ”

Jiuzheng is an official in charge of winemaking in the Qin Dynasty, and in Meng Yi's opinion, the wine made by Li Qing is already comparable to that of imperial wine, so he naturally deserves the position of Jiuzheng.

Li Qing looked at Huang Meng, from the bottom of his heart, Li Qing is willing to be an official, it is definitely a dangerous thing to be in the rivers and lakes all the time, if he can live a few decades in stability, it is also a good thing, after all, as long as Qin Shihuang does not die for a day, it is still a very safe thing to be an official in the Qin Dynasty.

Huang Meng seems to be a little repulsed by being an official of the Qin State, after all, Huang Meng grew up in the Chu State since he was a child, and the Qin State destroyed Chu, for Huang Meng, the Qin State is his enemy.

Li Qing's eyes showed a trace of regret, although Li Qing did not exclude being an official in Qin, but he didn't want to have a disagreement with Huang Meng because of being an official.

Meng saw Li Qing's scruples, suddenly clapped his hands, and immediately rushed out dozens of Qin soldiers and surrounded the two.

Meng Yi snorted coldly: "Li Qing and Huang Meng, the two of you killed Gao Shanming, the county governor of this county, can you two be guilty?" ”

Li Qing looked at the Qin soldiers who suddenly poured out, with a bitter smile on his face, it seems that this trip to Xianyang is a must-go.

Huang Meng looked at Meng Yi angrily, but Huang Meng also knew that the two had no choice, either to go to Xianyang to be officials, or to be escorted to Xianyang as prisoners, as for how to choose, fools know.

Seeing that Huang Meng nodded, Meng Yi waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Qin army turned to leave, and in the blink of an eye, the original harmonious scene was restored.

Meng Yi smiled and said: "Two righteous men, since you have agreed to go to Xianyang with me, then I also have a gift for you, come on, bring it in." ”

As soon as Meng Yi's words fell, Nangong had already walked in with a middle-aged man, and Li Qing saw that it was Zhang Gu from the Zhangjia Wine Workshop.

When Zhang Gu saw Li Qing and Huang Meng, his legs trembled in fright, and he hurriedly shouted: "Spare your life, spare your life." ”

Li Qing pointed at Zhang Gu and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Meng Yi said: "This person secretly learned Brother Li's wine-making skills, the reason why the Zhang family made a move on Brother Li was instigated by this person, and now Brother Li's wine utensils left in the Zhangjia Wine Workshop have been destroyed by me, Brother Li, how to deal with this person is decided by Brother Li." ”

As soon as Zhang Gu heard this, he quickly knelt down at Li Qing's feet, and said bitterly: "Uncle, spare your life, spare me." ”

Li Qing looked at the poor Zhang Gu, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, you ......"

Before Li Qing's words were finished, Huang Meng had already kicked Zhang Gu over and said, "Brother, this person is plotting your formula, and he still wants to kill you and me, how can such a dog keep him?" ”

As Huang Meng spoke, he gave Li Qing a look, Li Qing peeked at Meng Yi, and saw Meng Yi with a smile on his face, as if he was looking forward to Li Qing's performance.

Li Qing didn't know Meng Yi's thoughts, but Huang Meng's meaning was very clear, let him not let Zhang Gu go.

Looking at Zhang Gu, who had no power to resist, Li Qing hesitated, killing someone, Li Qing was not afraid, just killing an unarmed person, Li Qing really couldn't do it.

Huang Meng said in a deep voice: "The husband should have clear grievances, there is kindness to repay kindness, there is revenge to revenge, brother, you need to be decided." ”

"Okay, Brother Meng, can you borrow a weapon?"

Li Qing suddenly turned his head to look at Meng Yi and spoke.

Meng nodded, Nangong immediately threw a long sword to Li Qing, Li Qing took the long sword with his hand, looked at it, and then threw it in front of Zhang Gu.

Li Qing said: "I'll give you a chance to live, take the sword, if you can defeat me, I will let you go." ”

Zhang Gu looked at the long sword in front of him, and then at Li Qing, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"You...... Is this true? ”

Zhang Gu hesitantly put his hand on the hilt of the sword, Li Qing looked more delicate on the outside, not like a master, this Zhang Gu thought that he had learned swordsmanship for a few days, if he really worked hard, he still had a chance to live.

Li Qing nodded and put his hand on the hilt of the Heavenly Death Sword.

Zhang Gu looked at Meng Yi again, Meng Yi smiled slightly, and said, "Since I handed you over to Brother Li to dispose of, then Brother Li's decision is my decision." ”

"Okay, kill."

Seeing Meng Yi's confirmation, Zhang Gu's eyes flashed, and he drew his sword and stabbed at Li Qing.
