Li Lao looked at the man in black who was digging a pit, and said in disbelief: "He is General Meng?" However, although the man in black is immersed in hard work, he can still see from his figure that his instruments are magnificent, his skills are extraordinary, and he exudes a sense of maturity and stability.

"yes, don't you think it doesn't feel like it?" Zhao Gao, the man in white, said with a smile: "Don't look at him silently now, but once he arrives at the barracks, he can be a mighty god of war admired by tens of thousands of people." ”

"Zhao Gongzi is serious." Li Lao waved his hand and said: "Even now, the old man can see a righteous and awe-inspiring person in General Meng, but he never thought that General Meng and Zhao Gongzi could save each other today, this is fate, fate." ”

"yes." Zhao Gao's eyes drifted over Li Jiang, who had been standing beside Li Lao and was silent, although he was just standing quietly aside, it was still impossible to ignore, Zhao Gao said: "Today, Meng Tian and I came here to drink, but we have never seen bandits rampant, and we must not let them go." ”

Just as Li Lao and Zhao Gao were chatting, Meng Tian dug a pit, buried the horseman, and then patted the dirt on his clothes and walked towards Zhao Gao and others.

When Li Lao saw it, he hurriedly stood up, greeted Li Jiang, took out the water and asked Meng Tian to clean the mud on his hands, Meng Tian nodded to Li Jiang, took the water bag, and then rinsed the soil off his hands, and then returned the water bag to Li Jiang and said, "Thank you, girl." ”

"General Meng, you're welcome." Li Jiang said slowly, there was a sense of agility in his voice, which made Meng Tian unconsciously look at Li Jiang's anxious eyes, and then walked to Zhao Gao's side and sat down for a while.

"To meet the two of you today is the luck of the old man's three lives." Li Lao looked at the two of them who were not pretentious, upright and thrifty, and they were very in line with their own tastes, especially the mature and steady Meng Tian, who was even more pleasing to Li Lao.

"Elder Li is polite, this is what Meng Tian should do." Meng Tian took the water handed by Zhao Gao, took a sip, and then said: "When I go back today, I will go to the military camp to order troops, and tomorrow I will lead the soldiers to exterminate this group of bandits, so as not to harm the people again in the future." ”

"General Meng is really dedicated to the people, he is a good general." After listening to Meng Tian's words, Li Lao nodded with satisfaction and said.

Zhao Gao on the side listened to the conversation between the two, a little helpless, and said stoply: "Come on, two, look at the beautiful mountains and rivers here, why don't you put these first, let's talk about poetry and songs, don't always think about fighting and killing, benevolence, righteousness and morality, sometimes a plain life is also very good." ”

"Yes, yes, what Zhao Gongzi said, the ordinary life is also very good." Looking at the white-clothed man in front of him, although he had always kept a smile, but there was an unpredictable look in his eyes, Li Lao said: "In this troubled world, if you can live a quiet and ordinary life all your life, it is also a kind of luck." ”

"You." Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao, who was looking like a child, and said helplessly, but there was a smile on his face, although his friend was exquisite, but he always wanted to live a comfortable and ordinary life.

"What is Elder Li going to do when he comes to Daqin?" Zhao Gao asked.

"The old man is a carpenter, a daughter of the old man, thinking of coming to Daqin to live and reduce the disasters caused by the war." Li Lao looked at Li Jiang fondly and said.

"So Elder Li is going to open a carpenter shop in Daqin?" Zhao Gao asked.

"The old man is already old, and he just wants to pass on this ancestral craft." Li Lao said with a smile.

"Li Lao is ready to recruit apprentices and pass on his skills." Meng Tian said.

"That's fine." Zhao Gao said with a smile: "I also want to learn the craft, but it's a pity that my clumsy hands are not suitable for these by nature." ”

Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words, said goodbye to Li Lao, and then got into the carriage, I don't know what to do inside, Li Lao smiled and said to Meng Tian and Zhao Gao: "Jiang Er will do it immediately if she thinks of something, and she has a stubborn temper, so I can only follow her." ”

"It doesn't matter." Meng Tian felt that this was his true temperament, and said unmindfully.

Zhao Gao also looked at the carriage thoughtfully, then picked up the water and drank a few sips, and then chatted with Li Lao and Meng Tian.

As the time passed, Meng Tian stood up and said, "It's not too early, let's rush back to Xianyang City first, and Elder Li should make arrangements as soon as possible." ”

"There are General Lao Meng and Zhao Gongzi." Li Lao was not polite, and readily agreed.

Just as they were about to walk to the carriage, Li Jiang got down from the carriage and walked towards Zhao Gao, and then handed the things in his hand to Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao smiled and said, "Give it to me?" ”

"Thank you for saving your life." Li Jiang said.

"You just did that?" Zhao Gao looked at the delicate slingshot in his hand, and didn't dare to say carelessly, the slingshot in his hand just now was a world of difference compared to this.

"Although the little girl's craftsmanship is not superb, it also has a spirit, and it is considered a superior product." Li Lao said heartily, his tone full of pride.

"Thank you, Miss Li." Zhao Gao smiled and said, "I like it very much." ”

"It's good if Zhao Gongzi likes it." Li Jiang said.

A smile flashed in Zhao Gao's eyes.

Subsequently, Meng Tian drove the carriage and took Li Lao and them back to Xianyang City, and put them down at an inn, Meng Tian said: "If Li Lao has any problems in the future, you can come to the General's Mansion to find me." ”

"You can come to me too, I can help at any time." Zhao Gao waved the slingshot given by Li Jiang in his hand and smiled.

"Thank you both." Li Lao said gratefully.

"Elder Li has a good rest, let's take our leave first." Meng Tian said.

"Farewell." Zhao Gao also said politely.

Looking at the two who left, Li Jiang helped Li Lao into the inn.

Meng Tian and Zhao Gao left together, Zhao Gao said: "It seems that you are busy tomorrow, I won't bother you today, I will go back to the house first." ”

"Be careful yourself." Meng Tian didn't say much.

"What are you worried about, what else can happen in this Xianyang City, besides, even if something happens, isn't there still General Mengda?" Zhao Gao said solemnly, and then waved his hand and left.

"You kid." Looking at Zhao Gao, who left in a dashing manner, Meng Tian said with a helpless smile, and then turned around and went back to the barracks.

The next day, Meng Tian took the Meng family army to sweep the cottage of the bandits, the bandits died to death, caught, and when the catastrophe came, they knew that it was Meng Tian, the god of war, who offended yesterday, but it was too late to regret it.

After the army returned to the camp, Xianyang City immediately received the good news of the Mengjia army's suppression of bandits, Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng heard about it, very beginning, immediately rewarded Meng Tian, and everyone also praised Meng Tian happily, because the safety of going out of the city in the future has been settled.

Li Lao and Li Jiang, who were in the inn, heard everyone's praise, Li Lao touched his beard and said, "Great Qin has Meng Tian, no one is invincible. ”

"Father." Li Jiang poured a cup of tea for Li Lao, and said slowly: "We should also find a mansion so that we can plan for the future." ”

"Jiang'er, you have always been assertive, you can do this." Li Lao looked at Li Jiang lovingly and said.

"Yes, father." Li Jiang also has this intention, his father is old, and it is not easy for his father to work hard, Li Jiang said: "Tomorrow, my daughter will find a satisfactory mansion." ”

"Good, good." Li Lao smiled with satisfaction and said, this daughter is very satisfied, if it is a son, his ancestral craft can be inherited, but what about his daughter, Li Lao smiled, his daughter is better, he loves him more, and one day he finds a satisfactory person, he will entrust his daughter to him, and his life will be complete.

Day 2.

Li Jiang went out to find a mansion, but the huge Xianyang City is not something that can be found by looking for it, either the price is too expensive, or the place is remote and not good, or it is messy. Li Jiang searched for a long time and couldn't find a satisfactory place, so he found a teahouse and prepared to drink tea to quench his thirst.

Just as Li Jiang took a sip of tea, he heard a familiar voice behind him: "Miss Li." ”

Li Jiang turned around and saw that Zhao Gao was still dressed in white, with a jade pendant around his waist, and walked over with a smile on his face, Li Jiang stood up and said politely: "Zhao Gongzi, be polite." ”

"Miss Li, you're welcome." Zhao Gao sat down beside Li Jiang, and then motioned for Li Jiang to sit down with him.

Li Jiang was not polite, sat down directly, then brought a cup of tea to Zhao Gao, and said, "Zhao Gongzi is so coincidental, I didn't expect to meet here." ”

"yes, I made an appointment with my friends to meet again, and they just left." Zhao Gao drank a cup of tea and said, "What is Miss Li doing here?" What about Li Lao? ”

"Today, my father is at the inn, and I came out to find the mansion, and my father is old, so I will take care of these things." Li Jiang said.

"Can Miss Li find something satisfying?" Zhao Gao asked.

Li Jiang shook his head and sighed: "It's a huge Xianyang City, but it's difficult to find a mansion that suits your heart. ”

"Yes." Zhao Gao looked at Li Jiang and said, "If Miss Li doesn't dislike it, you can help find it together, which is also convenient and reduces time." ”

"Thank you Zhao Gongzi for that." Li Jiang did not refuse pretentiously, and thanked Zhao Gao heartily.

"Miss Li, you don't have to be so polite, just change to Xia Gao." Zhao Gao said with a smile on his face.

"In that case, Ah Gao can also call me Jiang'er." Li Jiang said briskly.

"Okay." Zhao Gao said happily: "Jiang Er will rest later, and let's go find the mansion." ”

"Okay." Li Jiang said approvingly, the sooner things in the mansion are better, compared to Li Jiang knows that his money, the longer it takes, but he can't find the mansion that he is satisfied with, not to mention, Li Jiang wants Li Lao to live a better life, so he must act quickly.

However, Zhao Gao cooperated with Li Jiang to look for a long time, but he didn't find the mansion that Li Jiang wanted, Li Jiang was a little deflated, Zhao Gao looked at the deflated Li Jiang, and said: "Jiang'er, don't be discouraged, I'll go to Meng Tian to discuss it later." ”

"Wouldn't this kind of thing be too troublesome for General Meng?" Li Jiang thought that his mansion was going to trouble Meng Tian, wouldn't it be bad, after all, he was a general.

"How come, Meng Tian is very warm." Zhao Gao said with a smile: "Come and I'll send you back to the inn to rest first, and you will wait for my good news at the inn." ”

"Thank you, Ah Gao." Li Jiang said thankfully.

"Jiang Er doesn't have to be so polite, I'll send you back to the inn." Zhao Gao thoughtfully sent Li Jiang back to the inn, and then turned around and left to find Meng Tian.
