Chapter 223: Riding a Tiger into Xianyang
"General Meng Yi, can I ask you a question?"
"If you can, it's better not to ask."
“……”
The mountain wind is howling, and the moonlight is miserable.
The firewood made a "Bieber" sound in the flames, and the two sat by the fire, looking at the stars in the sky, and they both quietly thought about their thoughts.
"General Meng Yi, what kind of person is the emperor?" After a long time, Princess Yushu spoke quietly.
Meng Yi was silent, and just when Yu Shu thought that he would not answer this question, he said slowly: "Your Majesty Zeng Weijia Hai is the real Emperor of the Ages. ”
After a slight pause, Meng Yi continued: "But now, he is just an old man who is both suspicious and afraid of death. ”
In Meng Yi's fragmentary memory, the first emperor began to seek immortals six years ago, wanting to live forever, and even abandoned state affairs for this reason.
After these two incidents, the slander has been far away from the temple since then, and the voice of flattery has become the only voice in the government and the opposition. Such as the clever little boy Hu Hai, the honey-mouthed sword-bellied Zhao Gao, and the sinister and cunning Prime Minister Li Si, who made the court into a miasma.
Meng Yi is a soldier, he has never been good at words, and he has never been involved in court politics. He was sincerely disappointed by His Majesty's favor and treachery in recent years, but he buried it in his heart and never showed it.
Princess Yushu was very surprised, hesitated slightly, and said, "General Meng Yi said so...... Don't you think it's a vain discussion? ”
Meng Yi smiled faintly and said, "Sort of." ”
He also felt strange that in his memory, he should have been fanatical in his loyalty to the First Emperor, but in fact he couldn't respect it at all.
even felt that he and the first emperor should be on an equal footing.
Princess Yushu looked at Meng Yi, suddenly smiled, and said, "General Meng Yi, don't worry, I won't tell what you just said." ”
Meng Yi said indifferently: "Thank you." ”
"Although I suffered a lot today, it was the happiest day I ever had." Princess Yushu looked up at the stars, with a quiet smile on the corner of her mouth, "There is no restraint of court etiquette, and there is no restraint of superiority and inferiority, this feeling is really good." ”
Meng Yi turned his head to look at her, slightly stunned.
In Yushu's eyes, there seems to be a starry sky.
"It's a pity that after today, this feeling won't be ...... anymore" Yu Shu said softly, she also turned her head and boldly looked at Meng Yi, "Meng Yi, thank you for giving me one more night of freedom." ”
She didn't call the general again.
Meng Yi looked at Yu Shu, and said half-loudly: "That's not necessary, I'm mainly for that beast." ”
"......" Yushu looked helpless, "Don't say that, don't take away this feeling." ”
"Whew......"
The hanging worm whimpered sadly.
Yushu glanced up and suddenly "giggled" out laughing.
At this moment, it is like a hundred flowers blooming, and it is beautiful.
Meng Yi looked at Yu Shu intently, without blinking.
Yushu read Meng Yi's eyes, couldn't help but blush his cheeks, and lowered his head.
"Meng Yi, I'll dance for you." She said softly.
Meng Yi suddenly came back to his senses, he stood up, walked towards the mountain forest, and said without looking back: "Princess, rest early." ”
Yu Shu was stunned for a moment, her face suddenly turned pale, and the brilliance in her eyes disappeared in an instant.
The wind seemed to be a little lighter, and Meng Yi walked into the mountain forest, and his figure disappeared into the darkness.
Nothing was said all night.
Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, Meng Yi walked out of the mountain forest with a dead deer, and Yushu was curled up by the fire, sleeping soundly.
The tiger still spread out his limbs, tilted his head, and had a loveless expression, and when he saw Meng Yi coming back, he only opened his eyes slightly.
Meng Yi smiled, threw down the dead deer, suddenly drew his knife in a hurry, jumped up, and swung out four knives, cutting all the vines in an instant.
"Whew!"
The feeling of weightlessness caused the tiger to startle suddenly, let out an exclamation, and fell heavily to the ground.
After the tiger got up, a man and a tiger looked at each other silently for a while, and Meng Yi threw the dead deer in front of the tiger.
"Roar! Roar! The tiger roared at Meng Yi twice, buried his head and began to bite the deer corpse.
After a stick of incense, Meng Yi helped Yushu to ride on the tiger's back again.
This time, the tiger just writhed uneasily, and no longer had any more movement.
Meng Yi's mood suddenly became much happier, he turned over on the tiger's back and patted the tiger's neck: "Let's go!" ”
"Roar!"
The tiger roared and began to run.
An hour later, the two of them appeared outside the gate of Anyi County.
The defenders of the city gate saw a large insect rushing from a distance, and they were so frightened that they quickly closed the city gate.
It wasn't until Meng Yi arrived at the city and supported Yushu that he took out his talisman and threw it directly on the city wall.
A hundred generals on the city wall took the talisman in his hand, glanced at it, and suddenly his face changed greatly: "General Meng! It's General Meng! ”
"General Meng is actually riding a big worm!"
"It's really worthy of being the first fierce general of my Great Qin! General Meng is really a man of God! ”
There was an uproar on the city wall, and the soldiers were very excited and discussed.
Soon, the gates opened again, and a heroic young man drove his horse to run, but the horse was halfway through and refused to come forward.
The young general had no choice but to dismount, standing far away from Meng Yi, first glanced at Meng Yi riding on the back of the tiger, his eyes showed a look of horror and awe, and he hurriedly saluted respectfully: "The last general Shen Xingzhi, see General Meng!" ”
Meng Yi rode on the tiger and indifferently ordered: "Prepare the carriage, lead a hundred cavalry, and follow me into Xianyang." ”
"Yes, General!"
Half an hour later, a group of cavalry gathered around a carriage and galloped on the gallop in the direction of Xianyang.
Yushu lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at Meng Yi, who was running in front of the tiger in a daze, and looked all the way.
Four hours later, Xianyang City was already in sight.
On the upper floor of the east gate of Xianyang City, a middle-aged general frowned and listened to the report of his subordinates, and said in astonishment: "Meng Yi is riding a big worm? Are you sure you read that right? ”
"General Zhao, the last general sees it very true! General Meng is indeed riding a big worm, and he is extremely majestic. ”
General Zhao's face was cloudy, and he asked again, "What about the princess of Tu'an Kingdom?" Are you there? ”
"There is a carriage in the military formation, and I think it is Princess Tu'anguo who is sitting in it."
Bang!
General Zhao's tone was calm, and he gritted his teeth and said: "What a Meng Yi, he is swaggering through the market and asking His Majesty for credit!" ”
He thought for a while, and then instructed his subordinates: "Close the city gate first, and never let it go!" Ben will go to tell the prime minister! ”
At the same time, Fisher and the Dream Team were also escorted by the county soldiers and were almost outside Xianyang City.
