Chapter 46 Arriving at the Great Wall

Zhao Gao and Li Jiang just hurriedly put Ah Niu's body into the empty grave, and then sealed the tombstone.

"When we're done with everything, we'll come back and take you home." Zhao Gao looked at the tombstone and said seriously, he knew that Ah Niu died for himself, and this kindness would never be repaid.

In order not to run into the other party's people again, Zhao Gao took Li Jiang and Xiao Bao to leave in another direction, because Xiao Bao often came and went to the mountains before, he knew the way, Zhao Gao asked Xiao Bao to take himself and Li Jiang to the place where he fell off the cliff, he believed that Meng Tian would not give up on himself easily, and would definitely send someone to look for himself and Li Jiang nearby, as long as he found Meng Tianren, he would be safe.

Zhao Gao was right, although Meng Tian left, he still left a team of people to continue to look for Zhao Gao and Li Jiang.

Not long after Zhao Gao and others arrived, they heard a voice behind them: "Zhao Gongzi? Miss Lai? ”

Zhao Gao turned around and saw that the people who came were several soldiers in armor, and raised his hand and saluted: "Exactly." ”

"Zhao Gongzi, Miss Li, we were sent here by General Meng to find you." When the soldier heard Zhao Gao's answer, he immediately went back and said.

"Where's Lao Meng?" Zhao Gao saw that Meng Tian was not there, so he asked.

"General Meng received a letter a few days ago, so he rushed back to the Great Wall." The soldier replied respectfully, "Before General Meng left, he instructed us to find Zhao Gongzi and you. ”

"Thank you." After Zhao Gao listened, he said gratefully.

"Zhao Gongzi is polite." The soldier was very low-key and modest, and just said respectfully: "Zhao Gongzi, you have been missing for many days, General Meng is worried, please follow us back to the Great Wall quickly." ”

"I'm tired." Zhao Gao didn't say much, and said directly in agreement.

Because of the team of soldiers left by Meng Tian, Zhao Gao and Li Jiang's way out was much smoother, and they never saw anyone who wanted to kill them again, and Zhao Gao limped because of his leg injury, so he was supported by the soldiers.

One of the soldiers saw that Xiaobao was a child and wanted to carry him out of the mountains, but Xiaobao seemed to be very resistant to the soldiers, and did not want them to touch him, and when he saw them, his eyes lit up with hatred.

Seeing this, Li Jiang thanked the soldier like the soldier, and then took Xiaobao's hand and walked slowly to prevent Xiaobao from falling.

Soon they walked out of the mountain, because there was no carriage in a hurry, so the soldiers let Zhao Gao sit on the horse, and Li Jiang also got on the horse, let Xiaobao sit in his arms, and several people let the soldiers lead the horse forward.

On the other side, the black-clothed men chased out from the trail, and it didn't take long for them to know that they were chasing in the wrong direction, and the leader looked at the road ahead, knowing that this was walking out of the mountains, looking at the sky, and the leader said slowly: "Let's go, let's go back." ”

Calculating the time, although he did not lead Meng Tian to where he should be as planned, the time to delay him has come, so that the ultimate goal has been achieved, and now it doesn't matter whether Zhao Gao is caught or not, it's just that the person who took the lead thought of this, his face was ruthless, and he sneered, sooner or later, he will meet again, looking forward to Zhao Gao's performance at that time.

Zhao Gao and Li Jiang arrived safely in the town under the escort of the soldiers, but as soon as they arrived in the town, Zhao Gao felt that the atmosphere of the whole town was not quite right, as if something big had happened.

And when the people in the town saw the soldiers beside Zhao Gao and others, they showed a strange look in their eyes, and they pointed and pointed, and their mouths were broken and thinking about something.

Zhao Gao and others did not stop when they saw this, Zhao Gao asked the soldiers to speed up their pace and send themselves to the Great Wall, Zhao Gao always felt that there was something wrong in Changchun.

The soldiers saw that the people in the town behaved strangely, and they also had a bad feeling in their hearts, so they listened to Zhao Gao's words, did not stop, but accelerated their pace to the Great Wall.

The closer Xiaobao in Li Jiang's arms got to the direction of the Great Wall, the more restless he became, and his body trembled a little, Li Jiang saw this, touched Xiaobao's head and comforted: "Xiaobao, don't be afraid, Sister Jiang'er is here." ”

Xiaobao listened to Li Jiang's words and seemed to calm down a little, but his little face was still resolute and tense.

Soon Zhao Gao and others will arrive at the Great Wall, and there are still soldiers guarding the gate, but when the other party saw the person escorting Zhao Gao back, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Shang Shangzao, you are back." ”

"Where's General Meng?" It turned out that the soldier who was talking to Zhao Gao turned out to be a master.

"Hui Shang Shangzao, General Meng is in the tent." The soldiers guarding the city said respectfully.

Shang Shangzao listened to the reply of the gatekeepers, and immediately took Zhao Gao and Li Jiang to Mengtian, and the guards did not stop them, and respectfully retreated to the side and let them in.

At this time, Meng Tian was sitting in the camp tent, his face was full of seriousness, and there were other generals standing in front of him, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

At this time, a soldier outside the battalion reported loudly: "General Meng, Shang Shangzao has returned." ”

Meng Tian in the camp tent listened to it, immediately stood up and walked out, at this time Zhao Gao and Li Jiang were already supported to get off the horse, Meng Tian saw Zhao Gao and Li Jiang standing there as soon as he came out of the camp tent, Meng Tian greeted Zhao Gao and said, "Finally back." ”

"I almost didn't come back." Zhao Gao looked at Meng Tian and said lightly, but he was already full of emotion in his heart, this time it can be regarded as a life and death disaster.

"Jiang'er, you're not hurt, are you?" Meng Tian saw that Zhao Gao still had the mind to joke, so he knew that he was fine, so he turned his head and asked Li Jiang.

"Brother Meng, I'm fine." When Li Jiang saw Meng Tian, the big stone in his heart was finally put down.

"What about you?" Meng Tian saw that Li Jiang really didn't seem to be in any big trouble, so he asked Zhao Gao again, because Meng Tian knew that one of them must have been injured, and since it wasn't Li Jiang, it was Zhao Gao.

"It's okay, it's just an arrow in the leg, and it's been dealt with simply." Zhao Gao said, but he still felt a pain in his thighs sometimes.

"Pass the military doctor." Meng Tian listened to Zhao Gao's words and immediately said to the soldiers around him.

"Yes, General." When the soldier heard Meng Tian's order, he immediately retreated to find a military doctor.

"Don't stand here, let's go into the tent." Meng Tian continued.

Zhao Gao and Li Jiang did not refuse, and followed Meng Tian into the camp tent, Zhao Gao and Li Jiang entered the camp tent, and when they saw the generals inside, they felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little dignified.

"You guys go out first." Meng Tian said to the generals present.

"Yes, General." The generals respectfully withdrew.

Meng Tian frowned when he saw Zhao Gao's leg limping, and then said, "My leg is so badly injured, sit down quickly." ”

Zhao Gao was not polite, and limped to the nearest chair and sat down, while Li Jiang also took Xiaobao to the side of the chair and sat down.

Meng Tian poured a cup of tea for Zhao Gao and Li Jiang, then returned to the main seat and sat down, looked at the child beside Li Jiang and always felt very familiar and asked, "Who is this child?" ”

"You've seen it." Zhao Gao said.

"I've seen it?" Meng Tian listened to Zhao Gao's words and felt that the child was becoming more and more familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"He's Xiaobao." Li Jiang replied.

"Xiaobao?" Meng Tian listened to Li Jiang's words, a light suddenly flashed in his mind, and then said, "Isn't he Xiaobao outside Xianyang City, in the refugee area?" ”

"Exactly." Li Jiang nodded and replied.

"How could he be with you?" Meng Tian was even more curious.

"We fell off a cliff thanks to Xiaobao who saved us." Zhao Gao said: "Otherwise, Lao Meng, you may never see us again." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Meng Tian felt that the more he listened, the more confused he became.

"Now we don't care what happened to us." Zhao Gao suddenly looked at Meng Tian with a serious face and asked, "What happened to you here now?" ”

"How do you know what's going on here?" Meng Tian saw that Zhao Gao had already noticed something unusual, so he asked with a look of appreciation.

"First, with what I know of you, and the friendship between us for so many years, it is impossible for you to leave alone and not stay to find me when I am in danger." Zhao Gao raised his slender and good-looking fingers and said: "Second, when we came back, the people in the town behaved abnormally, the town was the closest to the Great Wall, and there was no trouble, then there was something wrong with the Great Wall." ”

"Third, the expressions of the generals who have just gone out of this camp are unusually solemn, something big must have happened." Zhao Gao paused and continued.

Listening to Zhao Gao's words, Meng Tian said with a smile on his face: "Sure enough, thoughtful. ”

Zhao Gao listened to Meng Tian's praise of himself, shrugged his shoulders, and was not modest.

Meng Tian put away the smile on his face and said with a serious face: "The Great Wall has collapsed. ”

"What? The Great Wall collapsed? Zhao Gao and Li Jiang listened to Meng Tian's words and said in unison.

The surprise on Zhao Gao's face couldn't be hidden, although he knew that something big must have happened to the Great Wall, but he never thought that the Great Wall would collapse.

"How did the Great Wall collapse?" Zhao Gao asked incredulously.

"It's really collapsed." Meng Tian said to Zhao Gao with certainty: "On the third day when you fell into the cliff, I received the news, and when I came back, I saw the ruins of the collapse of the Great Wall. ”

"But did anyone see it?" Zhao Gao continued to ask.

"Yes." Meng Tian nodded and replied.

"Who?" Zhao Gao asked.

"A few strong men who built the Great Wall, and two soldiers who guarded the Great Wall." Meng Tian said, suddenly stopped and looked at Li Jiang.

Zhao Gao saw Meng Tian talking, then looked at Li Jiang, and then said, "There are also Mu Qi and Meng Jiangnu, right?" ”

"Yes." Meng Tian nodded and replied, "According to the reports of those present, there was a sudden thunder in the sky at that time, and then a strong wind blew, and the city wall collapsed after a while. ”

"That's interesting." Zhao Gao listened to Meng Tian's words, and a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"This matter has been reported to Your Majesty as soon as possible." Meng Tian said: "Calculate the time, Your Majesty's will will come in a few days." ”

"Do you think it's providential? Or is it artificial? Zhao Gao listened to Meng Tian's words, and he already knew in his heart, why were he and Li Jiang hunted down? I'm afraid it's just to lure Meng Tian out of the Great Wall, but now that the Great Wall has collapsed, the general who supervised the construction is not on the Great Wall, isn't this just leaving his post without permission?
