Just as Meng Tian and Zhao Gao thought, on the second day, the eunuch who issued the decree arrived.

"Biography, Your Majesty's order, order General Meng to return to Xianyang Palace immediately, and here." The eunuch with the holy decree said in a sharp voice.

"Meng Tian obeys the order, long live my emperor, long live long live." Meng Tian knelt and took the holy decree.

"General Meng, please hurry up and go back to the palace with the minions." The eunuch handed the holy decree to Meng Tian's hand, and then tried to help Meng Tian up with a smile on his face.

Meng Tian quietly dodged the eunuch's hand, then slowly stood up and said to the eunuch: "I don't know if you can go and wait for me to deal with the affairs and leave later." ”

"General Meng, Your Majesty means to leave immediately, without delaying for a moment." The eunuch naturally felt that Meng Tian was unwilling to touch him himself, although the eunuch still had a smile on his face, his eyes darkened and said: "The slave does not dare to disobey His Majesty's body, and I ask General Meng to forgive me." ”

Meng Tian looked at the eunuchs who came, did not speak, and finally shouted in a loud voice: "Come here, prepare the horse, and go back to the palace." ”

Meng Tian rode his war horse and followed the eunuch back to Xianyang Palace, without bringing a single soldier.

After Meng Tian left, Zhao Gao and others came out of the tent, and when the holy decree was issued, it was Meng Tian who asked Zhao Gao and others not to come out and show their faces in the tent, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

"Ah Gao, do you think Brother Meng will be in danger?" Li Jiang looked at Meng Tian, who was already far away, and asked worriedly.

"The matter has come to this, instead of worrying here, it is better to find the real reason why the Great Wall divides him, this is the real hope of Lao Meng." Zhao Gao also looked in the direction where Meng Tian left, and there were no more of them when he died.

Fortunately, Zhao Gao and Meng Tian had already discussed everything the day before, and left Shang Shangzao to obey Zhao Gao's orders.

Shang Shangzao, who was the soldier who rescued Zhao Gao and Li Jiang back at that time, was originally named Shang Jie, and his position was made.

"I think we need to hurry." Mu Qi, who was standing on the side, suddenly said: "The holy decree only says that General Meng should return to the palace immediately, so we can't predict whether it will be good or bad." ”

"I know." Zhao Gao listened to Mu Qi's words and replied quietly.

Zhao Gao naturally knows whether it is auspicious or vicious, in fact, there is no need to think about it, if he can't find out this matter, he is afraid that it will be more auspicious and less auspicious.

"Let's go, let's go to the place where the Great Wall collapsed to check first." Zhao Gao said.

"I'll take you." Muki spoke.

Mu Qi took Zhao Gao and others to the place where the Great Wall collapsed, it was a mess, and sure enough, a large part of the city wall collapsed, Zhao Gao stepped forward and picked up the stones, and looked carefully, these stones were all here to cast the Great Wall, but no matter how Zhao Gao checked, there was often no problem at all.

Zhao Gao frowned, is it really not artificial? No. Zhao Gao shook his head and removed this thought from his head.

Zhao Gao looked at the other places, and then asked, "Can't you find any clues?" ”

"Yes." Murch nodded.

"Did you really not see a single thing when the walls collapsed?" Zhao Gao always felt that something must have happened at that time, but he was ignored.

"Nope." Mu Qi and Meng Jiangnu on the side said in unison.

Zhao Gao's brows furrowed even deeper after hearing this, and then he continued to Mu Qi: "You tell it carefully, don't miss a trace of what happened at that time. ”

"At that time, I came to the city wall with Miss Meng, as well as two soldiers and those people who knew the matter, at first there was nothing unusual, and then a strong wind blew, I saw that Miss Meng looked very bad, so I thought that I would go back to the camp to rest first, and come back another day, but I never thought that we had just walked a few steps before there was thunder, we thought it was going to rain at first, so we quickened our pace, but I didn't expect that just a few steps away, I saw a lightning bolt in the sky slip down, and then I heard a loud noise behind me. When I turned my head, I saw that the walls had collapsed. Mu Qizai carefully recounted what he saw at the time.

"Was it really lightning?" Li Jiang listened to Mu Qi's words and asked incomprehensibly.

In fact, as long as Li Jiang didn't understand, the people present at the time saw it, and their heads were blank for a while, and when they saw this scene, everyone's first reaction was that it was Lei who split the city wall.

It's just that I didn't expect that the matter would spread more and more outrageously, and the speed of the spread was very fast, and overnight, several towns and villages near the Great Wall knew about the collapse of the city wall.

And it didn't take long for Xianyang City to spread the matter, and it became more and more intense, there were many rumors, some said that Meng Tian cut corners, corrupted the law, dereliction of duty, and the shoe people were rumored to be Meng Tian killed countless people, and his body was angry, and he was punished by God, which caused the wrath of God, so he sent down this thunder to knock down the Great Wall to show warning, and some people even said that Meng Tian must be punished for a serious crime, otherwise there will be a greater disaster to Daqin.

"After so many years of wind and rain, the Great Wall has never collapsed, how could it fall because of a thunderbolt?" Zhao Gao said mockingly, he didn't believe the rumors, it must be because someone was spreading rumors.

"By the way, something suddenly occurred to me." Meng Jiangnu, who was standing on the side and did not speak, suddenly spoke.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Gao asked.

"I'm not sure, but I've touched the walls under the walls, and it doesn't feel the same." Meng Jiangnu also said uncertainly.

"Be clear." Zhao Gao saw Meng Jiangnu's expression and immediately said, now the slightest clue may be an important life-saving key.

"At that time, my hand touched the city wall, and the feeling was different from the city wall I had touched before, it seemed to be different, the collapsed city wall felt smoother, but there were many small cracks to the touch, but with the naked eye, it was no different from other city walls, and I didn't think much about it when I was hit hard." Meng Jiang carefully recalled the strange appearance of touching the city wall that night and said.

"When you say that, something suddenly comes to my mind." After listening to Meng Jiangnu's words, Mu Qi suddenly spoke: "I heard a loud noise that night, and when I looked back, I vaguely saw that the city wall seemed to be beginning to collapse at the bottom. ”

"If it was really struck by lightning, how could it be that it collapsed below." Zhao Gao listened to Mu Qi's words, and was even more sure that his idea was right, this city wall must have been tampered with.

Zhao Gao thought about suddenly walking towards the inside of the collapsed city wall, thought about the approximate location, and then squatted down to find something.

Mu Qi and the others saw it and asked curiously, "What are you looking for?" ”

Zhao Gao didn't speak, just turned over the big stones with his head bored, leaving Mu Qi, Li Jiang and the others confused.

Zhao Gao turned his head bitterly for a while, suddenly picked up a stone and stood up, then his eyes glowed, and a smile appeared on his face and said, "I found it." ”

"Ah Gao, what did you find?" Seeing Zhao Gao's expression, Li Jiang hurriedly walked over and asked.

"Jiang'er, you take it and feel how different this stone is." Zhao Gao handed the stone in his hand to Li Jiang.

Li Jiang took the stone in Zhao Hand and turned it over and over curiously, at first he didn't feel anything unusual, but then slowly, Li Jiang suddenly found that this stone was a little weird, and he didn't feel any difference at first, but then he took a closer look and touched it, and found that it was different from other stones, as if it was smoother, but he could vaguely feel some small cracks where he touched it with his fingertips.

Li Jiang found out about this situation, and then looked at Zhao Gao incredulously and said, "There is something strange about this stone. ”

"You're right." Zhao Gao nodded and said, "As Miss Meng said, if you don't taste and touch it carefully, you won't find anything strange about this stone." ”

"Show me." Mu Qi listened to the conversation between Zhao Gao and Li Jiang, and curiously stepped forward to take the stone in Li Jiang's hand and looked at it carefully.

Mu Qi looked over and over, suddenly, Mu Qi raised the stone in the direction of the sun, after the refraction of the sun, Mu Qi really sent a very small crack, if there is no reflection of the sun, it is impossible to find, so these stones are at the bottom of the city wall, it is impossible for people to find the abnormality.

"There is really something wrong with this stone, General Meng was wronged, I want to take this stone to meet Your Majesty, and General Meng is innocent." Shang Shangzao on the side saw Zhao Gao's discovery, and immediately said excitedly.

"This stone alone is useless." Seeing Shang Jie so excited, Zhao Gao shook his head and said, "We must find out the culprit, where these stones came from, we must find out, otherwise the blame is still on Lao Meng." ”

"Yes." Mu Qi also nodded and said: "General Meng is responsible for supervising the construction of the Great Wall, but if such a thing happens, if it is not found out that he was framed, the responsibility for this crime will still be borne by General Meng." ”

"In that case, let's go and find out." Shang Jie couldn't help but say anxiously when he heard this.

"I'm afraid it will take a long time to inquire about this matter." Zhao Gao said slowly: "When supervising the construction of this place, Lao Meng was already personally supervising, it was impossible for someone to do anything under his nose, I am afraid that these stones had been prepared a long time ago." ”

"What can I do?" Shang Jie was anxious when he heard this.

Zhao Gao also understood that there was no time for him to investigate this matter in detail, if he wanted to rescue Meng Tian, he had to think of other ways, and the truth could only be investigated slowly in the future.

"Maybe Your Majesty won't embarrass Brother Meng, after all, Brother Meng has made countless contributions to His Majesty's perennial battlefield." Li Jiang said luckily, but she didn't want to believe it.

"Lao Meng has been recalled, and those who want to move to Lao Meng in the DPRK will definitely not let it go easily, after all, these things have been planned by them for a long time, and they must be inseparable." Although Zhao Gao did not involve the court, the stakes were very clear.

Once Meng Tian is recalled, he will be embattled, unable to move an inch, extremely dangerous, especially now everything is very unfavorable to Meng Tian, it is rumored to be a sharp knife, making people bruised everywhere and falling into the abyss of despair.
