Chapter 84: A Way Out!
The latest chapter of the Jinse
As Yushu said. By the time Meng Yi arrived at the city gate, the city gate had already been closed. Even if he was an official, he did not have the right to ask the soldiers defending the city to open the gates. So he could only wait helplessly. It was not until dawn that the gates were opened.
Although he had been praying in his heart that Xiao Ling had not left. You'll be able to stop it from happening. But when he arrived at the bamboo house, he was disappointed. He underestimated Xiao Ling's determination to leave. I just hope I still have time to get her back.
And Meng Yi himself quickly rushed back to Mengfu. When he was about to gather the guards of the Mengfu Fortune Ding and start vigorously looking for Xiao Ling's traces, they were stopped by Meng Hui. Meng Hui saw Meng Yi coming back and immediately walked up to him and reported: "Second duke. Someone came to the palace just now, saying that the emperor asked you to enter the palace."
"Didn't say what it was?" Meng Yi subconsciously frowned when he heard this. Obviously, he was a little unhappy with Qin Shi Huang's sudden summons. After all, now is the critical moment to find Xiao Ling, if you miss this time, maybe it will be too late. He doesn't feel at ease if he leaves this matter to someone else.
"I heard the palace people say that it seems to be about the public. I'm afraid I'm going to be back soon." Meng Hui just looked at Meng Yi anxiously and guessed.
Even if Meng Yi was in a hurry, but now that the facts were in front of him, he might go against Qin Shi Huang's will. But he couldn't let go of Xiao Ling's matter. So he instructed Mengshu: "Mengshu, you go and gather the guards to check within the radius of Xianyang City. When he found Madame and Rouge, he brought her back. If she doesn't want to, force her back."
"This ...... Yes." Although Meng Yi was a little hesitant to let him forcibly bring Xiao Ling back. After all, if you are just a subordinate, how can you be rude to the Lord? But after only hesitating for a while, Meng Yuan still promised loudly.
As Meng Hui said, Qin Shi Huang asked Meng Yi to discuss the matter of the triumphant General Meng. At the same time, there were other military ministers. The discussion was about the welcome, and Meng Yi also received the task, so that there was no chance to find Xiao Ling in person. And those subordinates naturally returned in vain.
And Xiao Ling because of the Rouge, a thousand-mile horse. I guessed that Meng Yi would definitely find the news of his departure from Yushu. I don't know if the gate will stop him from giving him more time. But she still didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. Riding the rouge, he ran for miles in a hurry.
I didn't stop until I was tired and out of breath. Xiao Ling also deeply realized that his body was not as good as before. So he stopped in a small town. Take a break for a while.
Although he came out, Xiao Ling was still at a loss as to where he was going. Although I have been here for so many years, I have only been here for the first year. I basically stayed in Xianyang all these years. I only know a few people in Xianyang. It was only now that she realized how poor her social interactions were here. Suddenly, there was a feeling that the world was big but there was no place for itself.
Sitting alone in a crowded inn. Xiao Ling listened to the people who taught the ninth-rate talk about the new things they had encountered. At this time, a person's voice instantly covered all the noise. Everyone stopped what they had just said. Attention is all diverted.
"Have you heard of it? The Meng family army has returned. It's about to arrive at Xianyang City." A person in the crowd suddenly asked such a question.
"It's a big deal, of course." Another person said triumphantly: "Didn't the Mengjia army go north to deal with those Hu people on the order of the emperor half a year ago?"
Once again, this answer was echoed by everyone. It seems that in ancient times when the news was relatively closed. There are also people who pay attention to national events. And no matter what kind of age it is. They all have their own effective ways to spread the news.
"The Hu people in the north have become more and more rampant in recent years. Again and again they have come to take possession of our cities. Fortunately, we have this Mengjia army. You don't know that the Mengjia army led by General Meng Tian only took half a year to beat the Hu people to the ground. Drove them back for more than seven miles......"
The man finished speaking in a sonorous voice, and the other person was not calm, and then his words continued: "I have heard about this too. Not to mention that General Meng Tian is really a character. Xiang Yan who defeated the Chu State that year. Now it's so easy to drive out the invading foreigners. It gave us a stable life."
......
Meng Tian's reputation is still good in the heart of Qin Guo's surname. In this way, everyone added what they heard or knew how heroic Meng Tian was. How the Mengjia army is good at fighting. In short, they are all words of admiration for Meng Tian and Meng Jiajun. And these also passed into the ears of Xiao Ling, who was sitting alone in the corner.
Hear these things about Meng Tian again. Xiao Ling didn't know what kind of mood he was in when he listened to it. I just feel a little astringent in my heart and feel very uncomfortable. In the end, she can be said to have escaped from the inn. It can even be said that the escape is still a little embarrassing.
But it's not completely unhelpful to her. At least she knew where she was going.
Shanlian. The place that brought her here. After a few years, she should go back and see. See if there's a chance to go back to your own world. If not, it's time to see what that place looks like now. As for where to go in the future, that's something to think about later.
After determining his destination, Xiao Ling no longer hesitated and immediately turned over and got on the horse. It's just that it's some distance away from Xianyang City now. In addition, now I heard that Meng Tian is almost in Xianyang City. Then Meng Yi shouldn't have time to track himself again. Xiao Ling was not as anxious as before.
On the afternoon of the second day after Xiao Ling left, Meng Tian returned to Xianyang. After half a year of conquest, Meng Tian was obviously much darker than when he left. And there are two beards on the upper lip. It looks like the whole person is more aggressive and heroic. Since returning, in the crowd of onlookers, he has not found the figure that has been haunted by his dreams, and Meng Tian has only been lost for a moment. Silence immediately returned.
Meng Yi didn't have the opportunity to report Xiao Ling's departure to him as soon as Meng Tian returned, as he had imagined. As soon as Meng Tian returned, he was faced with all kinds of summons and banquets. By the time he had completely subsided, it was already five days later. Meng Yi finally had the opportunity to confess everything to him.
Early in the morning, Meng Tian was practicing swords in the courtyard of the East Courtyard, and Meng Yi couldn't bear to come. Meng Tian saw Meng Yi retract his sword momentum and handed the sword to Meng Shu, who was waiting on the side, looked at Meng Yi and asked, "Yi. Is there something about you coming to me so early?"
Meng Tian did a short few days ago. Raising his hand, he motioned for Meng Yi to sit down as well. I picked up the tea on it, poured two cups, one cup was placed in front of Meng Yi, and one cup was picked up by myself and drank it slowly.
Meng Yi doesn't have such a leisure as Meng Tian now. Seeing Meng Tian's apologetic and leisurely appearance, he couldn't help but imagine how he would react after he told him about Xiao Ling's departure. Thinking about it, Meng Yi looked at Meng Tian and opened his mouth: "Big brother. My sister-in-law left seven days ago."
Meng Yi found that Meng Tian's hand drinking tea was obvious after hearing his words. There was also a flash of worry in his eyes. But it was soon hidden. Still said indifferently: "If that's what she wants. She felt it would be better to leave the words. Then let her go. I'll fulfill her."
"Are you really big brother. Is this what you really think in your heart?" Meng Yi can imagine any answer from Meng Tian. I never thought that he would say such a sentence lightly. Everything before was in his eyes. I've always known that it's not good for my sister-in-law to be by my eldest brother's side. But the eldest brother has always been stubborn and kept her. Even if it's torturing each other.
But now the eldest brother is just so plain and gives himself an answer of "fulfilling her". If he had been, he might have thought it was a good thing. After all, Xiao Ling is not doing well by the side of his eldest brother. Leaving may be good for everyone. But in the past few months, I have witnessed everything that Xiao Ling has suffered. Meng Tian's answer suddenly made him a little difficult to accept.
In the face of Meng Yi's questioning, Meng Tian still had a flat face. After drinking the tea in the cup, I poured myself another cup. He said indifferently: "How not. You know how I've been doing the last few years. There are some things I can't forget. She had already let go and had been thinking about leaving. Then why can't I fulfill her?"
No one knows what Meng Tian's words mean better than Meng Yi. It was only when he understood that he had his own disapproval at this moment: "Big brother, some things have passed. And some things don't have much to do with my sister-in-law at all. Don't you think it's unfair to her to be forced on her like this?"
Meng Tian heard Meng Yi's words. The fox looked at him suspiciously, knowing sure that he had a sincere look on his face. Then he said incredulously, "You know everything."
"Yes. I know. At first, I was just as angry as my eldest brother about my sister-in-law's approach. I hated her too. But in the past few months, I finally learned that my sister-in-law was not wrong at all. She just protected her friends. It's just that friend happened to do something we didn't allow. Sister-in-law has been working hard. If I ever impose these things on her, she'll be even more tired."
"You care about her." When Meng Yi talked about Xiao Ling, the distress on his face made Meng Tian suddenly feel a little eyesore. Even he didn't notice that the words he uttered were full of sourness. Will the door brocade
