Chapter 5: Brutes, Brutes
Xiang Yu?
Overlord of Western Chu?!
Meng Yi looked at the little boy, thin and dull, how could he have the demeanor of an overlord? This is very different from what is recorded in the history books.
For a while, Meng Yi doubted the authenticity of the history books.
Thinking to no avail, Meng Yi had no choice but to wave his hand and say, "That's it, "From now on, your brothers and sisters will live in the mansion." ”
Then he waved his hand and shouted to the house: "Little cheap!" ”
After a while, Hao Jian came to Childe's side at the speed of light and said flatteringly: "The little one is here, what does Childe command?" ”
"You take the two of them to the account room to register, and the woman will be sent to my son's room, and the man will ...... Little guy, we don't raise idlers in Mongolia, what will you do and tell me? ”
Meng Yi looked at Xiang Yu's immature face, and really didn't dare to imagine that he would be the overlord of Western Chu for a while in the future.
Xiang Yu clasped his hands into fists, bowed and saluted, looking like a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, and said: "Hui Engong, I don't know anything, I can only fight." ”
"Xiao Yu, don't talk nonsense!!"
Xiang Yue saw her younger brother say such things in front of Engong, and couldn't help but reprimand, how could such a thing as a fight be spoken.
Reprimanded by his sister, Xiang Yu lowered his head like a child, pouted and stopped talking.
Xiang Yue hurriedly took her younger brother to explain: "Engong, Xiao Yu has been stubborn since he was a child, so he has developed the habit of fighting, and please don't blame Engong." ”
They all thought that Meng Yi would blame Xiang Yu, but they heard it say: "It's good to fight, my son likes children who fight." ”
Karma!!
Several people were dumbfounded and speechless, everyone in the world regarded fighting as evil, and they sneered at the children who fought and avoided them, but Meng Yi praised them greatly, which made people incomprehensible.
"Engong, Xiao Yu ......"
Meng Yi waved his hand to signal her not to say any more, he continued to ask Xiang Yu, and said, "You said that you can only fight, so how good are you?" ”
"Back to Engong, I can fight more than 100 people by myself." Xiang Yu patted his chest and swore an oath.
"More than 100 people? This cowhide is a bit big, isn't it? ”
Meng Yi said with a little doubt, looking at his weak and thin appearance, not to mention more than 100 people, even one person is enough for him to drink a pot.
Xiang Yue explained: "Engong doesn't know, Xiao Yu has been born with divine power since he was a child, and he has few opponents since he was a child, so he didn't lie. ”
Innate Divine Power?!
Meng Yi couldn't help but be interested, the history books recorded that it was rumored that the overlord of Western Chu could lift a bronze tripod weighing thousands of catties with both hands, but in the eyes of later generations, it was just a rumor made up by his predecessors, and it was really unacceptable.
Now, Xiang Yu is standing in front of him, he wants to know if this is true or not?
Meng Yi took a few people to the martial arts arena, and there was a bronze tripod on the martial arts arena, weighing 780 catties.
Meng Yi pointed to the tripod and said, "If you can hold this tripod high, my son will accept it as my bodyguard." ”
"Bodyguards?"
"It's what you often call a personal guard."
The Xiang sisters, originally from a noble background, but Qin destroyed the Chu State and became prisoners, thinking that there would be no future in this life, but now, being able to become Meng Yi's personal bodyguard made Xiang Yu feel uplifted.
After Meng Yi gave the order, Xiang Yu stepped forward, holding the tripod ear with one hand and the tripod foot with the other, and with his loud shout, the bronze tripod that was as steady as a mountain made a 'squeak' sound.
Looking from a distance, Meng Yi's eyes widened, the corners of his mouth opened and closed slightly, he gasped, and scolded in his heart, my mother, this kid can really fucking lift the bronze tripod.
It turns out that the 'overlord lifts the crown' is really something, and I thought it was made up by those historians.
Meng Yi motioned for him to put it down, Xiang Yu put the giant tripod down safely, and the vibration of the bronze tripod after it landed on the ground could be felt by Meng Yi in the distance.
At this moment, Meng Yi was developed, he clapped his hands and laughed, and when Xiang Yu came over, he hugged Xiang Yu's shoulders and said kindly: "Okay, Xiao Yuzi, you will be my son's personal bodyguard in the future,"
"Xie Engong."
"From now on, you will be my son's bodyguard, and you will beat whoever I ask you to beat? Do you understand? ”
"Yes, but what if you kill someone?"
"Don't worry, if something happens, you will have this son to bear, your duty is to fight to the death, whoever dares to bully me, you will beat him hard, beat him until he can't take care of himself, it's best to not get out of bed for the rest of his life, no need to keep his hands."
"Yes!!"
Hearing Meng Yi's words, everyone sweated wildly. The thinking of the second son of the Meng family is really different from ordinary people.
After picking up the treasure, Meng Yi was in a good mood and very excited, who would have thought that the dignified overlord of Western Chu would be my little brother Meng Yi? It is estimated that his classmates and teachers know it, and he can definitely envy them to death.
However, what excites him even more is that it will be a big court meeting soon.
At that time, the young generation of Xianyang City debated fiercely, and the first emperor and the ministers were selected as judges to select the first place in the great court meeting.
However......
The day before the court meeting, the whole Mengfu was crazy, and he didn't know which son was crazy, so he sold all the treasures in the family, and used all the money from the sale to buy salt, and he bought all the salt in the entire salt shop in Xianyang.
It was nothing to buy salt and pour it, but after Meng Yi took out the coarse salt, he poured it all into the water.
If it is decided today, the empire is still unstable, it would be good to have salt to eat, and even most of the people can't even eat salt, and he wasted it all, which is a ruin.
The side quest is to make money, and the business opportunity that Meng Yi sees is - salt.
In ancient times, it was absolutely comparable to the existence of gold, which was an indispensable thing for human beings to survive, whether it was the royal family and nobles, or the poor people, salt was indispensable for three meals.
Since Meng Yi crossed over to the Qin Dynasty, the food he ate, although salt was added, was bitter and difficult to swallow. In case that stupid lack of two goods has a bad kidney, he burps directly after eating coarse salt.
After investigation, he thought of a way to make money, which was "coarse salt purification", of course, the ancients did not understand, and thought that they had wasted all the salt.
If you can make fine salt, when the time comes, the market will definitely be sold out, and all the belongings you sold will be redeemed, and you can make a lot of money, these ancients will not understand.
A few days ago, Meng Yi checked the account books of the account room, over the years, Meng Tian's military rewards and fortunes in the war have long been squandered by the losers in the previous life, and now the mansion seems to be huge, but it is really an empty shell, only by finding a way to earn more money can he survive in the world, it seems that the task on the tablet is not out of thin air, there is a certain truth, and it is more determined that Meng Yi has the hope of returning to the future.
And Meng Yi was locked in a small room by himself for coarse salt purification, and the people didn't know it, and they thought that Gongzi's brain disease had been committed again, and they were just about to find a doctor to come, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the house.
"The general is back, the general is back."
Someone ran and shouted.
Not long after, a middle-aged strong man walked from outside the door, with a sword hanging from his waist and black armor, walking with vigor and vigor, showing the spirit of a man in the army.
"What happened?"
Outside the door, I heard the noise of the house, entered the mansion, and asked hurriedly.
The housekeeper was dissatisfied and concealed: "The second son sold all the belongings in the house and bought all the salt in the salt store. ”
Meng Tian had a bad premonition: "What did he do when he bought so much salt?" ”
"The minions don't know."
"Forget it, just buy it, and it's okay to keep it for later."
"I'm afraid I can't eat it anymore?"
"What do you mean?"
"Second son, he poured all the salt he bought into the water and wasted it."
Woock!!
After hearing this, Meng Tian felt a blockage in his heart, and hurriedly supported the pillar beside him.
Suddenly, a question came to his mind: "Wait, you just said that you are selling it, how can there be good land in the house for him to sell?" ”
"This ......" steward's appearance is as ugly as a dead mother.
Meng Tian said sharply: "You don't have to deliberately hide it, just say it." ”
"Among the belongings sold is the general's favorite Hummer Pony."
"This loser is actually ......, alas, sell it." Meng Tian held his forehead and sighed, and then sighed helplessly: "How many horses have you sold?" ”
"It's all sold!"
"What?"
Meng Tian yelled, the steward shrank his head, and didn't dare to continue, Meng Tian held back his anger and asked, "You can tell the rest together, this general can hold on." ”
"Your Majesty's reward for the meteorite iron twin streams has also been sold."
"Go on?"
"Jinwen Bronze Crane Ding."
"Anything else?"
"The mahogany official chair in the house."
Seeing that the housekeeper didn't mean to stop, Meng Tian said, "What else?" ”
"Jing Wenbi, Yuefu Bell, Mermaid Lamp." As he spoke, the housekeeper glanced at Meng Tian cautiously.
Meng Meng Tian forcibly held back his anger: "Next! Continue! Say!! ”
"The bronze square ding, the gold plate of the bird line, and Li Ye and Qin Jian have all been sold."
After hearing this, Meng Tian almost fainted, he looked up to the sky and shouted: "Loser, God, how could the Meng family have such a loser." ”
However, the wood was already in the boat, and Meng Tian could only sigh helplessly, saying: "Buy it, just buy it, as long as that thing ...... Not good!! ”
Suddenly, Meng Tian realized something, ran to the study, and tossed around, and the priceless treasure 'Suihou Zhu' handed down from his ancestors was also gone.
"Brute!!"
Meng Tian roared at the sky and yelled at the butler, "Where is the other?!" I'm going to kill this loser. ”
"The general is angry, the second son's brain disease is improving, and the doctor said that he can't beat or scold to prevent the disease from recurring."
The stick in Meng Tian's hand was thrown to the ground angrily, since the last time, after beating Meng Yi, he had a brain disease, and he almost regretted his intestines.
The father of the Meng family died on the battlefield, and there were only two brothers left in the family, and Meng Yi was young, but he was raised by Meng Tian single-handedly, and he doted on him very much, and it was not an exaggeration to be regarded as half a father.
Later, when he learned that his younger brother had a brain disease, he indulged Meng Yi countless times, and over time, he developed the habit of losing his family.
"That's it, that's it, let him go."
Meng Tian only felt dizzy, and every time he went home, Meng Yi would always do something unexpected.
"Before the middle of the month, the general will return home, do you have something important to order?" The steward asked.
In the barracks, Meng Tian was overjoyed to learn that Meng Yi's brain disease had improved, and then received His Majesty's order to name Meng Yi to participate in the big competition, I don't know why? As everyone knows, it is the strong recommendation of Fusu Gongzi.
When he came back this time, he specially instructed Meng Yi to be cautious in his words and deeds at the court meeting, so as not to get into trouble.
"Go, call that bastard boy, I have something to say."
