Episode 4: The King's Command
Meng Meng was arranged to live next to the queen. Every day he accompanied the queen around the palace. The palace is full of carved railings and jade masonry, which is magnificent. There are also many gardens in the palace with streams and lakes. The queen likes to enjoy flowers, drink tea, and watch dancing. Sometimes Meng Meng flew up and danced with the band in the palace, making the queen laugh. Although she eats, drinks and has fun all day long, Mengmeng thinks about her father and mother. She thought to herself that her parents had never seen such a beautiful house, and there were so many delicious and fun things. It would be nice to bring Mom and Dad here. But the queen seems to have forgotten Mengmeng's thoughts.
One day, General Wu, who was fighting on the border, rode back on horseback to report to the queen on the situation on the northwest frontier. General Wu was the queen's nephew. He was also one of the great generals who accompanied the king in battle. General Wu said: "The king's situation is very bad, the rare country colludes with the rebel forces in the border, and is secretly bribing the people around the king through the rebel forces, everyone says that the king's every battle plan will be known by the enemy in advance, and he has lost several battles in a row, and he is almost unable to support it, but he has no face to flee back." In addition, if they escape back at this time, they will inevitably intensify the speed and pace of the enemy's aggression, and there will be no peace in the future. But when they sent men to sue for peace, the lions of the enemy country opened their mouths, and the king was ashamed and angry, saying that he had to fight them. The biggest problem at present is not that they cannot find out who the traitor is, but that the enemy army occupies a favorable position and fires arrows at the soldiers in the low recesses of their country on the high hills. The country's soldiers could not storm the mountains, and there was nowhere to hide in the northwestern desert.
Meng Meng replied while giving the queen a thump on the shoulder, "Send me, I have a way to make the enemy surrender." ”
The queen said in surprise on the side: "Mengmeng, what can you do?" You are so small, although you can fly, but it is on the battlefield, and your life is in danger. ”
General Wu said excitedly: "I have long heard that there is a little girl who can fly in our strange country, and it is really an honor to see it for the first time today." Saying that, General Wu bowed to Meng Meng very gentlemanly. He continued: "Actually, the mountain just needs to fly up and light a fire. Because the northwest desert is perennially dry and hot, and all the troops and grain and grass of their enemy country are concentrated in the mountains, if they can burn a fire in the grain and grass, they will inevitably flee in the wilderness, and no food and grass in the desert is equivalent to a tiger without claws. If you don't run away, you will starve to death. ”
"Oh!" The queen said thoughtfully, and after a while, she looked at Meng Meng with a smile and said, "Meng Meng, do you really have a way to deal with the enemy army, have you thought about it?" ”
Meng Meng nodded and said seriously: "I will definitely work hard to assist the king and General Wu to complete the task smoothly." I look very small, but I'm 17 years old this year. As an adult, I know what it means to go to war, and I must be very cautious. ”
The queen said happily, "I am waiting for your good news, and when you return from victory, I will ask the king to bring your father and mother into the palace to live with you." And I will also give you an official knighthood. I hope you live up to your mission. ”
Meng Meng excitedly said thank you. Then he quickly and simply packed his luggage and accompanied General Wu to the northwest desert. Because Meng Meng can fly, she came to the barracks in advance. The king had already received the letter and knew that Meng Meng was coming. Hurriedly sent someone to meet Meng Meng at the entrance of the desert town. Meng Meng meets the king. The king looked very majestic, and he bowed to the king humbly. The king took a closer look at Meng Meng and said politely: "Give me a seat"
The king smiled and said, "I heard that you can fly thousands of miles in the air?" Is it true?"
Meng Meng immediately flew around the house twice, and said happily: "I can fly as convenient as everyone can walk, of course it's true." I think I could fly higher, but I didn't have to. ”
The king laughed, "Well, I like a confident child like you." As he spoke, he brought the map and called the generals and Meng Meng to come over to study the military situation.
By the time the night was dark and windy, the enemy had already relaxed their vigilance after successive victories, so the soldiers on the tower of the city lay on the city wall and took a nap. Meng Meng had already quietly flown up the tower. According to the instructions on the map, the place where the grain and grass were stored was quickly found. It's just that there are a lot of soldiers guarding the storage warehouse, she hid in the corner and observed, and found that there was a window at the back of the warehouse, and that small window was just enough for herself to enter, and less than 100 meters into it was an area where grain and grass were stacked. So she picked up her magic wand, quickly flew to the campfire next to a city tower, lit the magic wand, and then said in a reciting words: "Hulala, hulala, magic magic spirit, I must succeed in burning grain and grass." ”
When Meng Meng flew into the small window and lit the grain and grass, due to the long-term high temperature, the grain and grass burned quickly, and the soldiers immediately panicked, and Meng Meng was afraid that everyone would hurry up to put out the fire, so he flew up and shouted loudly: "I am the god of the desert, and today I will destroy you." After saying that, Meng Meng quickly took the magic wand and planted fire everywhere, the soldiers have begun to pick up the arrows in their hands, ready to shoot Meng Meng, Meng Meng quickly went out of the window, and was almost shot by an arrow, Meng Meng accelerated and flew vertically up, and found that his wings had infinite energy, and when the enemy army did not react to what was going on, the grain and grass had already been burned by the raging fire blown by the wind, and everyone fled in a hurry.
The king considered that the pursuit of the enemy at night was easy to be injured by mistake, and coupled with the long hours of soldier fighting, he had already suffered numerous casualties and was exhausted. It's too lazy to chase it all.
The next day, the enemy country immediately sent people to sue for peace. And sign an agreement never to violate the border. The king returned to the palace in majesty.
When it was time for the ministers to discuss the matter, the king praised the Meng Meng general in front of the civil and military officials. And to seal Mengmeng as the general of the town. The king also said, "I have heard from the queen that your parents are in poor health all year round, and if you are willing to stay in the palace and serve the kingdom, I will immediately send someone to welcome your parents into the palace and live with you." ”
Meng Meng was very happy, and quickly thanked her. However, she said: "I don't want to be the general of the town, I just want to accompany my parents, and the queen and the king by your side, if it is useful to me, just ask for it." After all, I'm still too young to learn from everyone. I'm so grateful to you for bringing our parents here. ”
The king laughed when he heard Mengmeng's words. The ministers also appreciated.
It's just that Mengmeng's father and mother are still hiding in the mountains, and they don't go out of the gate and don't step out. Officer Ma and many people had been searching for Meng Meng for a long time without success, and they were annoyed and angry, saying that they must catch Meng Meng's father and mother to get angry. It's just that when the strange country won the battle, the news of Meng Meng's great achievements spread throughout the beautiful town, and all the people in the town cheered, and Officer Ma trembled with fear. He knew that the king would definitely send someone to pick up Mengmeng's parents, but Officer Ma had put Mengmeng's family in prison, and the king would definitely blame himself if he knew about it. What to do then?
He thought that instead of waiting for the king to give the order to execute himself, it was better to strike first, and he would definitely catch Mengmeng's parents and wait for Mengmeng to come over as a capital to blackmail, or act at the right time, and not take the opportunity to kill Mengmeng's family. In short, Officer Ma didn't want to let himself lose a single hair because of Meng Meng's things.
