Tap, tap......

A dark brown horse came to a stop outside Xianyang City, and the horse looked tired. On horseback was a dusty young man who looked up at Xianyang City, which was tall and full of vicissitudes, and did not move for a long time.

is obviously a young man, his demeanor and lonely eyes seem to be a little more vicissitudes than this Xianyang City.

"Who? Dare to ride a horse outside the capital? Two guards, one left and one right, blocked the way.

The young man turned over and jumped off his horse, clenched his fists and said, "Meng Tian, the commander under the command of the former general Shang Peng, has been ordered to return to Beijing to resume his life. ”

Meng Tian?

The two guards immediately understood who the person in front of them was, Meng Tian, the first general of Xuanyong's Meng family, and the major general of the Meng family.

After learning Meng Tian's identity, the two guards immediately showed respect on their faces and gave a military salute, "I've seen General Meng, I'll wait for General Meng to report to him." ”

"I'm tired of both." Meng Tian nodded.

Even if the general came back on order, he had to get permission to enter the city.

The horse beside him neighed softly and moved uneasily. Meng Tian patted the horse's back, he knew very well in his heart that it was not a good thing for him to come back this time.

General Shang Peng was calculated by these people, and now it should be his turn to be the Meng family. If you want to kill the Meng family, you must first kill him Meng Tian. It's a pity that his strength is too weak, so weak that he knows that it is aimed at him, but he can't resist unless he betrays Xuanyong.

He replaced the former general Shang Peng and returned to Beijing to take up his post and return the former general's seal, which was just an excuse for these people to transfer him out of the army. These people will definitely not allow him to remain in the army and let him plump his wings.

Meng Tian breathed a sigh of relief, he had to be strong, whether it was for himself or for the Meng family.

He turned his gaze to the distant Frontier, where he should have stayed. It is there that he can become strong and find the meaning of life. It's a pity that there are some things that he can't control at all with his current status.

Meng Tian, who was standing at the gate of the city, waited for two hours, but still no one came to announce his entry into the city, and he was a little anxious.

Just when Meng Tian wanted to ask again, a guard in the city walked out.

Meng Tian hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Can I enter the city?" ”

The guard's eyes were full of apologies, and he saluted Meng Tian and said, "General, or ...... Wait? ”

Meng Tian's heart sank, he couldn't even enter the city gate, and the situation was probably worse than he thought.

"General Meng, in fact, it doesn't matter whether you enter the city or not, as long as the Meng family is still there, everything will be fine." The guard hesitated, then lowered his voice and said.

"Thank you." Meng Tian thanked him. He knew very well that those who could guard the city gate were generally from the border army. In Xuanyong, the status of the Meng family in the army is supreme. The reason why this guard said this should be that he heard some rumors, and he respected the Meng family very much.

It seems that he can only hand over the general's seal to the city gate guard, and if the Fu does not conform to the rules, Meng Tian has not thought about it, he can't even enter the city, and what rules do he say. Meng Tian's hand went deep into his arms, and when he was about to take out the seal of the former general, a fast horse galloped from the city, and came to Meng Tian in a blink of an eye.

"It's General Meng Tian?" In the dust raised by the horse's hooves, an official had already opened his mouth to ask before he had dismounted.

Meng Tian said in a deep voice, "It's Meng Tian. ”

The official approached, lowered his voice and said, "Xiaguan was entrusted by Taifu to inform the general that the general only needs to hand over the military seal of General Shangfan to me, and I can bring it back, Taifu has a word......

Hearing Taifu, Meng Tian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this person should have been sent by the Taifu Dynasty on King Day. Wang Jie is an old minister of the Four Dynasties, Xuan Yongding Seagod Needle, he will have no problem in everything.

"Do you have a certificate?" Meng Tian asked, although he had already believed most of it in his heart, the stakes were very high, and everything was prudent.

"This is the Taifu handifu." The official pulled out a white jade talisman.

Sure enough, it was sent by Taifu, Meng Tian asked eagerly, "Taifu asked me to return to the frontier?" ”

He originally wanted to go back to Mengfu to have a look, but if Taifu asked him to go back to the frontier, he could only go back. Anyone in the Xuanyong Dynasty can target his Meng family, and Taifu Wangjie will definitely not.

The official shook his head, "No, someone said that you united with Shang Peng to collaborate with the enemy's blood clan, causing the border army to be defeated again and again......"

"Shang Peng's collaborator?" Meng Tian couldn't believe that General Shang Peng had guarded the border for more than ten years, and had never flinched, and he was still fighting with the blood clan before he died, until he sacrificed his life for the country, which can also be said to be a collaborator?

What I can't believe even more is that not only said that Shang Peng collaborated with the enemy, but also said that he Meng Tian also collaborated with the enemy. Does the repeated defeats of Xuanyong's army have anything to do with him? In which battle was the part he led not the last to be taken down? Which one against him was not the bravest? What's more, he is no more than a mere lieutenant. Even if it is the youngest lieutenant in the entire Xuanyong, it is only a lieutenant, where can a lieutenant affect the overall situation?

The reason why Xuanyong's army in the border wilderness has been defeated repeatedly is because Xuanyong, from the court to the border army, has been rotten to the bones.

Meng Tian clenched his fists, if he didn't still have reason, he would have rushed into the city right now and slaughtered those treacherous people.

"General Meng, you must not be impulsive." Feeling Meng Tian's murderous aura like substance, the official subconsciously took a half step back, and then hurriedly persuaded.

Meng Tian took a breath, nodded and said, "I know, if you don't let me go back to the frontier, where are you going to let me go?" ”

Seeing that Meng Tian restrained his anger, the official breathed a sigh of relief, "General Shang Peng was imprisoned because of his collaboration with the enemy, and all his family members were put in prison......

"What?" Meng Tian's brain buzzed, and he roared loudly, this time the killing machine could no longer be blocked. Shang Peng was very kind to him and saved his life more than once. And Shang Peng is completely dedicated to Xuan Yong, he has to save Shang Peng's family no matter what. Otherwise, he couldn't stop General Shang Peng.

The official hurriedly said, "General Meng, Taifu knows that you are worried about the descendants of the merchants, and has tried everything to save them, and under the last argument, the descendants of General Shang Peng were assigned to the indefinite ......."

"Is the distribution uncertain?" There are thousands of flames burning in Meng Tian's chest, what is the difference between this and killing?

Wuding, originally called the Wuding Mountain Range, has been the most desolate place in Xuanyong since history. Generally, Xuanyong's courtiers are assigned to crimes, or criminals are assigned, and they are all thrown to an uncertain direction.

Those who are assigned to indefinite will basically not live for a few years, and they will die in indefiniteness. As for the fact that after being assigned to the indefinite, there is almost none. Because there were more prisoners in the past, a small town was formed on the edge of the Wuding Mountain Range, and then the Wuding Mountain Range was changed to Wuding County.

This is still before, and now the uncertainty is even worse, and it is rumored that the uncertain not only has a blood clan, but also often has prisoner riots, as well as various monsters cannibalism. Don't say that it is dangerous to survive in the uncertain for a long time, even if it is close to the uncertain.

The official sighed and said, "Taifu knows what you want, he tried his best to protect you, and begged the Queen Mother to change Wuding to a county, and appoint you as the county guard of Wuding, and do the things of the governor, I believe you should also know." Taifu hopes that you will go to Wuding as soon as possible, and don't make any trouble. Taifu Youyan said that the Meng family is the only remaining Jiangmen seed of Xuanyong, and it must not be consumed in this meaningless battle. In the future, the rise of Xuanyong will depend on your Meng family. ”

A county guard can still do the affairs of the governor, which is absolute power in Xuanyong. Judging from this appointment and authority, Meng Tian not only was not punished, but also seemed to be rewarded.

But whether it is Meng Tian or others, they all know very well in their hearts that there is no definite guard, it is just a joke. If there was no certainty, if there could be a county guard, where would it wait until today? Entering this place is a dead word, and it makes no difference whether you are a criminal or a county guard.

Mi Yue gave Meng Tian a county guard, but she just didn't want the people of Xuanyong to gossip. She controls Xuanyong, if she kills the descendants of Xuanyong's first general, or even destroys Xuanyong's first general's Meng family, even if she is capable, she is afraid that she will not be able to withstand the pressure of Xuanyong's people.

Because of this, she simply gave Wang Jie a face, and even generously promised the position of Meng Tian's county guard. It means that she values the Meng family very much, and she values Meng Tian, the descendant of the Meng family.

Meng Tian sighed in his heart, bowed to this official, and then handed Shang Peng's former general seal to the official, "This is General Shang Peng's seal, as long as I don't die, I will always remember Taifu's life-saving grace." ”

The official took Shang Peng's former general seal and handed the two seals to Meng Tian, "General Meng, this is the indefinite county guard seal and the duwei rune seal." If there is nothing else, you should go to Wuding as soon as possible and take care of yourself. ”

Meng Tian saluted again, "I want to go back to Mengfu to see, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

The official only hesitated for a moment and said, "Now that you have been ordered to guard the county, you can go back and have a look before you take office." It's just that Taifu hopes that you don't stay here for too long, and it's best to leave the capital as soon as possible. Also, the sergeant who escorted the merchant will also leave tomorrow. ”

"Yes, thank you." Meng Tian sighed in his heart, if it weren't for the Taifu Wangjie, it would be almost impossible for him to come back this time, maybe he would have to put his life on the line, let alone be the guard of Wuding.

Taifu told him that the people of the merchant were also assigned to the indefinite tomorrow, which was to tell him to take care of some on the way, and even give him a chance to be rescued by Meng Tian. Otherwise, the people of the merchant will definitely not be uncertain, and they will die inexplicably in the middle of the road.

……

Xuanyong Xianyang City, Mengfu.

If you talk about Xuanyong's most famous general, there is no doubt that it must be Mengfu.

But with the death of the first emperor, after the Xuanyong and Mengwu who had made great achievements in the war left one after another, although the Meng family did not plummet, it was already not as good as it was back then.

It wasn't until Meng Tian, the son of Meng Wu, gradually emerged that the Meng family showed signs of rising again.

It's just that Meng Tian entered the border army at the age of fourteen, and he fought outside all the year round, and it was rare to return to Mengfu once in several years. But today, there were not many people in Mongol standing outside in line.

They were waiting for Meng Tian, the master of the Meng Mansion, to return, and the Taifu Wang Festival sent someone to spread the word that Meng Tian was about to return.

……

"The young master is back." As soon as Meng Tian returned to the Mongolian Mansion, he saw several domestic servants of the old family Menggu and Xishuang Lala, who had been waiting outside the Mongolian Mansion.

Looking at the white-haired Menggu, and then looking at the already somewhat dilapidated Mengfu, Meng Tian felt a sense of guilt and sourness in his heart. The Meng family has always been the first general of Xuanyong, but in his generation, Mengfu is like Menggu, an old family member who watched him grow up, and he is getting older day by day.

"Young master, hurry back and rest, it's too hard to come back from the border wilderness." Meng Gu rubbed his reddened eye circles, looking at this tall young man who he had grown up watching, he knew that this was the only hope for the Meng family.

Meng Tian shook his head, "Uncle Gu, I'm not going back, I'm ordered to guard Wude, and I'm going to go now." Coming back just to say hello to you guys, I'm about to leave. ”

"Ah......" Meng Gu looked at Meng Tian sluggishly, he didn't come back for four years, and he didn't even go into the house after he came back?

"Uncle Gu, I'm leaving, and the Meng family will be handed over to you." After Meng Tian finished speaking, he picked up his war horse and turned around to leave.

"Wait......" Meng Gu quickly stopped Meng Tian, and then without waiting for Meng Tian to speak, he hurried into the mansion.

After a while, Meng Gu had already come out with a slightly worn box and handed it to Meng Tian with both hands and said, "This is left by the old general, you are already old, now I will leave it to you." ”

After speaking, Meng Gu waved again, and a sturdy young man of fifteen or sixteen years old walked over. Meng Gu sighed and said, "Young Master, this is my adopted son Meng Chen, the young master is undecided to go alone, it really makes me feel at ease, just let Meng Chen follow you." Dusty, hurry up and see the young master, take care of the young master along the way, even if you die, you can't let the young master hurt at all. ”

"Yes." After Meng Chen answered, he hurriedly bowed to Meng Tian, "Meng Chen has seen the young master. ”

Meng Gu's heart is like a mirror, Meng Tian is uncertain at this time, saying that he is guarding, but in fact, what is the difference between it and distribution?

Meng Tian didn't even have a personal soldier by his side, so naturally some people hoped that Meng Tian would go to death indefinitely. But what can he do for the young general? That's all he can do.

Meng Tian respectfully took the worn-out box and bowed, "Uncle Gu, I ......"

He also felt that something was blocking in his heart, since the two generations of the Meng family have dedicated themselves to Xuanyong, the situation of the Meng family is like this dilapidated mansion, which is slowly mottled by the years.

……

In the evening, the two horses left the Xuanyong Capital City, it was Meng Tian and Meng Chen. Just like when Meng Tian came back, when he left, except for one more dust, there was no one to send him off.

After Meng Tian and Meng Chen left the city, they rushed all the way and didn't stop at all. It wasn't until two hours had passed, and it was already dark, that Meng Tian stopped his horse, and at the same time signaled Meng Chen to stop as well.

Meng Chen saw that the place where they stopped was an intersection, and immediately said, "Young master, this is the intersection, if we want to rest, it is better to go further and there is a post station." ”

He also didn't understand why the young master went out of the city in the evening and then rested on the road. This doesn't seem to be the difference between going out of town tomorrow morning.

Meng Tian waved his hand, "I'm waiting for someone here, I'm worried that they will leave the city overnight, so I'll come here and wait first." This place is the only way to go to the uncertain, as long as they pass by, we can see. ”

Meng Tian was waiting for the merchant's people, and the merchants were all about to be killed, but it was Taifu who rescued the merchant's people. Let the merchant's personnel be assigned to an uncertain level, which should be the limit of what Taifu can do.

Since Taifu said that tomorrow's talents will be allocated, it will definitely be tomorrow, and it is impossible to push it to the day after tomorrow. The only thing Meng Tian was worried about was that those people sent the merchants out in the early hours of the morning in order to calculate the merchants, and the purpose was naturally not to want him Meng Tian to catch up. No one else can do this, but those who calculate Shang Peng and his Meng Tian are definitely capable of doing it.

Because he guessed that Shang Peng's family might be escorted to Wuding overnight, Meng Tian stayed at the intersection and didn't sleep all night. It's just that the night passed, and Meng Tian didn't wait for the merchant's people to be escorted over. This made Meng Tian breathe a sigh of relief, since this is the case, it means that the merchant is not the most important thing for them.

As the next day passed, Meng Tian still didn't wait for the merchant's family to be escorted out, and Meng Tian felt that something was not quite right.

"Young master, will they go from another path to indefiniteness?" Meng Chen felt the anxiety in Meng Tian's heart, and couldn't help but ask.

Meng Tian shook his head without hesitation, "There is only one way to go to Wude, unless they start from ......"

Meng Tian was stunned when he thought of this, and immediately said, "Meng Chen, you immediately go back to Xuanyong Capital City to inquire, have the people from the merchant been escorted out?" ”

Xuanyong has a law that any prisoner who is escorted out must be known to the people, and the people are warned by public announcements. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't return to Xuanyong Capital City again, Meng Tian would have already gone back to check on Pegasus.

It is true that there is only one way to go from Xuanyong Capital City to Wuding, but there is a faster way, and that is the Xuanyong Grain Road. If you go uncertain from this road, you will save at least half of your time.

The Xuanyong Grain Road is a large river that has been artificially opened, and the water flow is relatively rapid. There is only one main purpose, to transport grain and grass. This is the lifeblood of Xuanyong, and no one is allowed to walk through it except for rapid marches or grain and grass.

It is precisely because of this that Meng Tian did not think of this road. If the prisoners can walk through the Xuanyong Grain River, then Xuanyong may not be long before he perishes.

Meng Tian thought of those faces in the Xuanyong court, if the Empress Dowager Miyue really allowed these people to use this road, then he would not be able to wait for the merchant people to wait here for 10,000 years.

And even if Mi Yue didn't agree, with those moths who framed General Shang and his Meng family, it was obviously not a difficult thing to take this grain route. These people don't even need the permission of the Queen Mother to borrow grain through other means.

The more Meng Tian thought about it, the more likely it became, and his heart was anxious.
