Chapter 247: The Thief Returns to Obedience
"A man who saved you from the sea of suffering."
Zhao Si, no, it should be called a thief, he said the question in his heart in one sentence, just by virtue of his tattoo and the thief's side, he is to determine his identity, is he really a human?
There are tattoos in the Seven Kingdoms in the world, and they are by no means the only ones, but they are not a few.
With these clues, is it to determine your identity? Meng Yi is really terrifying.
Since the destruction of the Six Kingdoms and the domination of the Qin State, this "King of Thieves" is hidden in the market, never known to outsiders, even if someone sees his tattoo, it is only associated with him being a heinous person in the past, where to know his true identity.
Hearing him ask like this, Meng Yi snorted: "Since you asked me like this, do you want to admit that you are a thief?" ”
At this point, Zhao Si had nothing to hide, he said: "Yes, I'm a thief, if you want to arrest me, do it, I can even escape from the prison of the Seven Kingdoms, don't say a Qin State, you can't control me." ”
"If I want to capture you, I will not save you from His Majesty's hands." Meng Yi said.
Meng Yi carefully watched the change in his expression, and only then did he say that the person was Ying Zheng, and the thief did not show any surprise at all, obviously, he had already guessed the identity of Ying Zheng.
"Sure enough, the reputation of the King of Thieves is not in vain, it seems that you have already guessed the identity of Your Majesty." Meng Yi said.
The thief waved his hand and said: "There is no need to compliment me, I have stolen the Seven Kings' Palace and seen countless emperors, even if I am not familiar with Yingzheng, but the imperial spirit in his body cannot be concealed." ”
The first emperor has made great achievements, unified the six countries, and achieved immortal hegemony, such a chosen son must have something extraordinary. As a thief king, he still has a little eyesight.
"I see." Meng Yi nodded and said, "At this point, I won't talk nonsense with you, just ask you one word, are you willing to submit to me?" ”
There was too much nonsense, and Meng Yi directly named him.
"Submission?"
The thief was stunned for a moment, he thought that Meng Yi was arresting him.
"As I said before, you're my subordinate, it's just that you think too much." Meng Yi said, "Of course, I have never liked to persecute others. ”
"If you submit to me, I can erase all the crimes you have committed before."
The thief asked, "Then what if I don't submit?" ”
"People like you, keeping them will only harm the world, so I have to give you one last ride." Meng Yi said coldly, and as he spoke, he had already released a huge momentum from his body, which was very threatening.
"What a coercion."
The thief said incredibly, the dignified prime minister Zuo, he thought he was a literati, but he didn't want to be a master, the more Meng Yi was like this, the more he aroused the interest of the thief.
The thief snorted and laughed: "Just now, you still said that you would not be persecuted, but now you are using your momentum to suppress me, not only that, but you also keep saying that you want to kill me, so what is it if you are not persecuted?" ”
Meng Yi said seriously: "Because you are the weak, and I am the strong, in the world of the weak, the words of the strong are always correct, and the weak have no bargaining power." Obviously, between you and me, you are the weak, and my words are always right. ”
"A strong man is respected, just rush to you, I will submit to you." The thief said.
As the king of thieves, the thief has traveled to various countries, and he has also seen all kinds of situations in the world, and no one has ever been so happy and straightforward as Meng Yi.
Without going into too much detail, a 'strong man is respected' can explain everything.
If you want to make rules, you have to make yourself strong, this is the reality, it is cruel, not ideal.
"Good!"
Meng Yi said, "I know that you have endured humiliation and stealing your life all these years, and now you have an opportunity to make you famous, are you willing to do it?" ”
Back then, the thief was betrayed by his subordinates, imprisoned, and imprisoned by the Seven Kingdoms, and the devil knows what kind of criminal punishment he received in prison.
The tattoos all over the body are all branded, which were fiercely branded on the body by the jailer with a soldering iron in the prison of the Seven Kingdoms, and in order to cover up the scars of the brand, he used the tattoo to cover it.
It's a pity that no matter how much he tried to cover it, the scar of shame could never be hidden.
After he was released from prison, he has been incognito since then, on the surface he has given up on himself, but in fact, he secretly wants to regain his glory, and in addition, he wants revenge more.
Back then, the person who framed him had disappeared without a trace, and he searched for someone for a long time, but to no avail, and swore that he would find that person even at the ends of the earth in this life.
"Yes, but I also have one condition." The thief said.
"But you want me to help you find the person who framed you back then?"
A hint of strangeness flashed in the thief's eyes, and he said, "Are you an immortal?" Meng Yi is so terrible, not only did he guess his identity, but he even knew exactly what he was thinking.
"If I were an immortal, my eldest brother would not die in front of me." Meng Yi clenched his fists and said viciously.
The matter of Meng Tian's murder was full of turmoil in the city, and the thieves naturally knew about it, but it was a pity that Meng Tian had been fighting all his life, but he didn't expect to end up like this.
"You and I are both people with stories, say, what do you want me to do?" The thief asked.
"Come with me against the traitors." Meng Yi said.
"And today it has been decided, where is the traitor?"
Because the news was blocked, except for the ministers of the DPRK and China, outsiders had no way of knowing about it, and it was reasonable for the thieves to wander around the market and not know.
"Daze Township, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched a rebellion, and now they have occupied Xingyang, Jiujiang and other places, and we ......"
"Wait, who do you say started the rebellion?"
Meng Yi was talking, but he was interrupted by the thief, and he seemed to hear a familiar word.
"Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, do you know them?" Meng Yi asked.
But seeing the thief's face, he said, "Not only do they know each other, but they are too familiar at all." ”
Oh?
This result surprised Meng Yi a little, in history, it has never been recorded that the thief and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are familiar with each other.
"They won't be ......"
"These two people were my subordinates back then, and they were framed at the beginning, although they are not directly related to them, but they must have nothing to do with the two of them." The thief said.
Meng Yi didn't know much about his past, and the thief was also a tyrant back then, not to mention that there were tens of thousands of people under his command, at least more than 100 people followed.
And Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have done things under them.
But I didn't expect that the two little minions in the past would rebel, which is still surprising.
"That's good, they're the ones I'm going to fight, and they're a good place to break if you want to find someone who framed you." Meng Yi said.
The talented person who was found by mistake dared to have an inextricable connection with Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
The thief nodded heavily, and said yes.
……
The food problem has been solved, and Meng Yi has accepted the thief again, and in addition, there is Xiang Yu, a king-level general, for this military crusade, it can be said that Meng Yi is determined to win.
After everything was ready, Meng Yi took the initiative to invite the First Emperor, and learned that Meng Yi was ready, so he could send troops without further ado.
On the school field of the Qin Palace, the first emperor personally saw Meng Yi off, to the east gate of Xianyang, the eldest princess had been waiting here for a long time, seeing Meng Yi's army passing here, Meng Yi immediately ordered the army to stop and rest for half an hour.
Ying Zisu City Gate farewell, such a picture, just like the picture of the eldest princess sending Meng Yi to the Xiongnu to participate in the Three Kingdoms two years ago, in a blink of an eye, two years have passed.
Before you know it, the two are already married, and the beautiful girl of the year is already married.
The two stared at each other, a thousand words, not as real as a kiss and a hug, hugging Ying Zisu tightly, only to see that her eyes were already moist, and she choked up: "You must come back safely, I will wait for you." ”
"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone this time." Meng Yi said firmly.
He already knows what the pain of losing his relatives is like, and as a man, the eldest princess's concubine will definitely not make his beloved woman sad and painful.
"Okay."
Ying Zisu only said one word, she didn't cry, and she was a well-informed wife, no matter what her husband did, she would support her unconditionally.
In the end, the two kissed each other and enjoyed the beautiful moment before parting.
……

Starting from the east gate of Xianyang, the army traveled long distances, and its destination was simple and clear - Xingyang.
Although the Qin army is not afraid of the hardships of grain and grass, if it occupies Xingyang and regains the initiative, it is equivalent to half of the victory, so that the losses can be minimized.
Therefore, it is absolutely urgent to take Xingyang.
But the problem is that Xingyang occupies a favorable time and place, and this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which adds a lot of difficulty to the Qin army's attack.
From Xianyang to Xingyang, the road is long, and the Qin army's marching speed is not slow, but it also takes a lot of time, in a blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and the army is still two days away from Xingyang.
Along the way, the 200,000 Mengjia army is mighty, and it is difficult not to be known, I am afraid that before they feel it, the news has already spread to Xingyang.
Of course, these are all within the scope of Meng Yi's consideration, if they don't realize it, the Qin army is like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and they won't feel any sense of accomplishment if they win.
In an instant, the Qin army had arrived in Xingyang.
As expected, the rebels were really prepared, and the entire Xingyang City was fully armed and entered a state of combat defense, while the Qin army was busy day and night, and it was already exhausted.
For this reason, Meng Yi ordered: "The whole army obeys the order, stays in place, and attacks the city in three days!" ”
