Chapter Seventy-Five: Confession of Guilt
Yes, even if General Meng is not there, we will defend Great Qin to the death. General Lin was the first to react, he glanced at Zhao Gao gratefully, if it weren't for Zhao Gaojun's heart would be turbulent, the consequences would be unimaginable, how could he be worthy of General Meng's trust.
"Swear to defend Daqin, swear to defend Daqin......" Listening to General Lin's rich voice, all the Daqin soldiers reinvigorated the army's heart, and the fearless voice filled the ears of the Hun army.
Adol looked at Zhao Gao with an angry face, obviously his words just now had already disturbed the other party's military heart, and he didn't know where at least it came from, and a few words actually revived the army's morale, making what he said in vain.
Adol's heart burned with anger, but his eyes rolled, and suddenly something came to mind? Then he said with a sly face: "Without Meng Tian, how can you stop our brave and warlike Hun army, aren't you afraid of death?" ”
"Even if Meng Tian is not here, after so long, how can you have captured the city wall that entered this side." Zhao Gao saw that the other party began to attack again, so he replied loudly.
"It's true that you had catapults before, and we couldn't do anything about it, but don't forget that just after the heavy rain, catapults can't throw fireballs, as long as we attack strongly, we will definitely be able to take the border." Adol said with a smug expression.
"Even so, do you think our Great Qin soldiers will be people who are afraid of death?" Zhao Gao knew that the other party wanted to disturb the morale of the army, but he didn't let the other party succeed.
"You want thousands of Great Qin soldiers to die for the border." Adol said with a look of disdain.
"If the gates of the city are broken, the country is destroyed, and the homeland is destroyed, what is the difference between this and death?" Zhao Gao's face was calm, and his tone was full of firmness, and every sentence shocked the hearts of the Great Qin soldiers.
"Not bad." General Lin also echoed and said, "Are my Great Qin soldiers afraid? ”
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't ......be afraid," all the soldiers shouted in a sonorous voice.
"We are born as people of Great Qin, and death is the soul of Great Qin." General Lin shouted loudly at Adore without fear.
"Good!" Just as Adol was about to explode in anger, a thick, sonorous voice slowly sounded.
"It's General Meng." I don't know who was the first to find out, looking at Meng Tian, who walked up to the city wall step by step, shouted excitedly.
So the moment the soldiers saw Meng Tian, their eyes were full of joy, and even General Lin had tears in his eyes, they all believed, and they all came back with the god of war.
"Lao Meng, you're back." Zhao Gao saw Meng Tian who appeared in front of him, and his heart finally fell, and Meng Tian in front of him was a little embarrassed, but he was still majestic, giving people a majestic momentum.
"Thank you for your hard work." Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao, then at all the Great Qin soldiers and said, "I'm back." ”
Hearing Meng Tian's true voice, everyone confirmed that it was not their hallucination, and immediately shouted and replied, "It's not hard." ”
"It can't be." Just when everyone was happy, there was a person who was not calm, and Adore looked at Meng Tian who was standing on the city wall, shook his head in disbelief and said, "You can't be alive if you fall into the cliff." ”
"General Ador, my Meng Tian's life and death have always been decided by Meng Tian himself, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, I'm back." Meng Tian looked at Adore, his eyes were full of sternness, and he said in a firm and powerful tone.
"No way, you can't be alive." Adol still didn't believe it, he had seen Meng Tian fall into the cliff with his own eyes, and there was no way anyone would be alive on the cliff.
Even though Adol didn't want to believe it, but Meng Tian did come back, at this time, because of Meng Tian's return, the morale of the Great Qin soldiers increased greatly, if they launched an attack for a long time, they would definitely not be able to get benefits.
Adol was unwilling, but he still had to retreat, Adore looked at Meng Tian with murderous intent and said, "One day, I will let you die at my hands." ”
"I'm waiting for that day." Meng Tian replied fearlessly.
Adol led the Huns in retreat, at this time they did not gain anything, and a forced attack would only cause them heavy losses.
Looking at the retreating Hun army, everyone's hearts were relieved, and the entire city tower was filled with cheers.
Because of Meng Tian's return, the situation on the entire border has changed, the morale of the army has been reinvigorated, and the grain and grass collected by Mu Fu have also been delivered intermittently, and their grain and grass problem has been solved for the time being.
"Lao Meng, where have you been during this time" Zhao Gao, who was sitting in the room, looked at Meng Tian and asked seriously, and the others sat in the room, looking at Meng Tian curiously.
"Ador is right, we've fallen off a cliff." Meng Tian replied.
"Are you okay? Is there anything hurt? Zhao Gao heard Meng Tian say that he had really fallen into the cliff, and immediately asked with concern.
"I'm fine, we got entangled in the rattan of the cliff to survive." Meng Tian explained.
"Since you're still alive, why don't you come back quickly? You know how worried we are about you. Zhao Gao looked at Meng Tian's whole body, and made sure that he didn't have any hurt when Meng Tian said, so he put his heart down, and then said with some complaints.
You must know that when Zhao Gao first heard the news of Meng Tian's disappearance, although his face was calm, he was already worried in his heart.
"We couldn't find a way out, there were cliffs all around, and there was no way out." Meng Tian knew that Zhao Gao was worried about himself in his heart, so he immediately explained.
"And how did you find your way out?" Zhao Gao listened to Meng Tian's words and asked curiously.
"It didn't rain last night, there was a dark river at the bottom of the cliff, it had already dried up, but we didn't expect it, because the heavy rain slowly began to flow out, so we found the source, although it was a cliff, but there was water overflowing, we dug a pit, the water gushing out of it is getting bigger and bigger, we dived down to check, I didn't expect that there was a hole in the water." Meng Tian said slowly.
"What's in there?" Qishan asked impatiently.
"It's actually a dark river, we didn't dive long before we reached the surface, the mountain was actually a huge cave inside, we walked all the way along the cave, and at the end there was another valley, but this valley was not far from the border, so we rushed back to a valley." Meng Tian mentioned what he had experienced this night, and he couldn't help but sigh in his tone, the valley was simply a ghostly workmanship, and everything in it was naturally formed.
"So, if it weren't for the heavy rain last night, wouldn't you still be trapped under the cliff for an unknown amount of time." Zhao Gao listened to Meng Tian's words, and mentioned in his heart that it was fortunate that it had rained heavily, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable.
"Hmm." Meng Tian nodded, remembering that they had been on the cliff stone last night
If it weren't for the heavy rain, the water in the dark river would have gushed out of the water, and he would still be trapped at the bottom of the cliff.
"Just come out." Zhao Gao stretched out his hand and patted Meng Tian's shoulder, comforting, as if he was comforting himself.
The others nodded in agreement after listening to Zhao Gao's words, after this experience, everyone present had a lot of feelings, it turned out that life and death were only in an instant.
It's just that although the situation at the border is improving, Xianyang City has caused an uproar, the old lady of the Zhao Mansion has confessed, and many ministers have pointed out that the old lady has tried to bribe them many times to seek an official position for Zhao Gao.
The old lady looked at the faces of the ministers above the main hall, and suddenly remembered what Zhao Gao had said to herself, and now the more she looked at them, the more disgusted she became.
This snobbish villain, who obviously took his own benefits at the time, but now he turns his face and doesn't recognize people, but falls into the well, which is really contemptible.
But the old lady did not deny what they said, for she knew that she could not deny it, or her son would be doomed.
Gongzi Fusu was surprised to see the old lady confess, but he still believed that the Zhao Mansion was innocent and quarreled with the ministers in the main hall.
Qin Shi Huang was extremely sad because of Meng Tian's disappearance, but the evidence of the crime was conclusive, and the old lady confessed her guilt herself, listening to the courtiers arguing above the hall, Qin Shi Huang was furious, slapped his palm on the dragon chair, and angrily scolded: "What kind of system is it to quarrel like this in the main hall?" ”
"Father, the Zhao Mansion is loyal, Zhao Gao worked hard to prepare for the military rations, and personally sent it to the border, how could he collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?" Gongzi Fusu saw Qin Shi Huang speak, and immediately saluted respectfully and said.
"Your Majesty, even if Zhao Gao doesn't know about it, if it's not the truth, why should the old lady admit her guilt, this is a big crime of the Jiu clan." Li Si listened to Gongzi Fusu's words, and also stepped forward to salute and said.
"They were wronged." Childe Fusu glared at Li Si and said.
"Your Majesty, why can't you redress your grievances here?" Li Si didn't flinch, looked at Gongzi Fusu and said.
Qin Shi Huang looked at the top of the hall that had just quieted down, and now Gongzi Fusu and Li Si began to quarrel again, and couldn't help but reach out and press his temple, and then said angrily: "The evidence is conclusive, what is the grievance?" Do you have a grievance? ”
The old lady looked at Qin Shi Huang and asked angrily, her heart was shocked, and then she saw Li Si's eyes, pursed her lips, and finally said: "Your Majesty, the sinner confesses her guilt, it is the sinner who is greedy for vanity, and the wealth is traitorous to the enemy, my son doesn't know anything, he only knows how to have fun, and he is a dou who can't be helped, and the sinner woman is also resentful, so she did this, and I hope Your Majesty will be gracious." ”
"Old lady, ...... you" Gongzi Fusu saw that the old lady confessed directly in the main hall, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only hang his hand weakly.
"Sinner, let down the prince of Fusu." The old lady looked at Gongzi Fusu in despair, her eyes full of helplessness.
"Since you have confessed your guilt, three days later, you will be sentenced to death, and the Zhao Mansion will go to the Great Wall to enslave, and you will not be released in this life." Qin Shi Huang saw that the old lady confessed, and he didn't want to argue anymore, so he said directly.
"Father ......" what else does Gongzi Fusu want to fight for? But Qin Shi Huang waved his hand, looked at Gongzi Fusu with an angry face, and said: "The matter of grain and grass has not yet been settled, you don't go to raise grain and grass, for military preparations, what are you doing here?" ”
