Hangu Pass, on the city wall.

A man with a stubble on his face is eating wine.

He sat on the city wall, his legs dangling in the air, he raised his head and drank a bowl, the crystal wine stuck to his stubble, he wiped it casually without care, picked up the wine jar with both hands and poured another bowl, put it on the tip of his nose and took a sharp sip, with a look of enjoyment:

"Haha, it's enjoyable!"

"How can there be such a good wine in this world, Nanshan pure wine, and it really lives up to its reputation."

"It's a little expensive, it's expensive to die......"

All the guards standing behind him were his personal guards, and the guards held down the knives on their waists one by one, leaned forward, snorted violently, and even worse, the corners of their mouths drooped, looking at the man eating wine with a look of envy:

"Generalissimo, is it good? Can you give a bowl to the brothers, just a bowl. ”

"Just taste it."

The man with stubble on his face turned his head to look at them, picked up the wine bowl, and held the wine jar firmly in his arms, looking very reluctant.

After drinking it all, after smacking his lips, he said:

"Want to drink?"

The guards nodded like garlic: "Yes." ”

"I want to drink the wine I bought with silver, and I want to deceive Lao Tzu about the wine, but Lao Tzu tells you that there is no door."

"Get out, get out of here!"

The guards looked at each other, wiping the corners of their mouths, if they could afford it, they wouldn't need so many people to watch the marshal drink it, this Nanshan pure brew was a wine specially supplied to the noble class of the Qin State, it was expensive, they couldn't afford it, and if they wanted to drink their military salary, it was far from enough, so they had to go bankrupt.

After drinking two bowls, the man carefully sealed the mouth of the can, hugged it in his arms, and did not leave his hand, for fear that any rabbit cub would take advantage of his inattention to steal his wine to drink.

He squinted into the distance, and at the end of his sight, in front of the boundary monument, two groups of people had already met.

Seeing this, he grinned.

A personal guard was puzzled, stepped forward and said with a little worry:

"Generalissimo, will there be a problem with us doing this? After all, the other party is the prime minister of Daji, in case of bumping, it will be difficult for us to explain when we go back. ”

"What's so hard to explain? Lao Tzu just wants to give him a try, and Lao Tzu is the last person in his life to see Wen Crepe......"

The man with a stubble on his face is none other than Meng Bao, the generalissimo who commands the soldiers and horses of the Qin State and the secretary of the military department!

He was ordered by his eldest brother, Meng Hu, the regent of Qin, to welcome the Daji delegation from afar at Hangu Pass.

Meng Bao scolded, and said in a deep voice: "The situation in the north is scorching, damn Di Gou sneak attack on the border of my Qin State, the Daji mission will not come sooner or later, but at this time, who knows what their intentions are?" ”

"Big brother asked me to give it a try, and Marshal Ben just gave Daji a dismount and let them retreat."

"If they can't pass this level, then they are not worthy of entering my Qin realm! Go back to their hometown as soon as possible. ”

"Generalissimo wise!"

......

In front of the boundary pillar.

The Daji side and the Qin cavalry were facing each other, and neither side would give in.

The people of the Qin State who had fled to the territory of Daji were huddled together, cowering behind Long Wuwei, nervously watching the situation on the field.

The centurion of the Qin State, who was holding a horsewhip, looked through the crowd, glared angrily at the fugitives, his face was gloomy, and shouted:

"I'll give you one last chance, give Lao Tzu a chance to get back!"

"The same thing, I don't want to say it again!"

The people huddled together, hugged them tighter, lowered their heads, and did not dare to speak.

The centurion continued to shout: "Okay, since you are looking for death, don't blame Lao Tzu for not giving you a chance, come on, prepare to shoot, shoot them all!" ”

Immediately, the well-trained Qin army raised the bow and crossbow in his hand, and the crosshair was aimed at the fugitives of the Qin State who were hiding in the rear.

"Stop! All put down to General Ben! ”

"Put it down! General Ben ordered you to put down, otherwise military law will be engaged! ”

Meng Wu was in a hurry, and hurriedly blocked in front of Chen Chao, putting his body under the cold arrows.

If the Chen Dynasty was accidentally injured, the two countries would go to war in an instant.

No one present could afford this responsibility, so he had to use his flesh and blood to block in front of Chen Chao.

"General Meng, please get out of the way!"

"Although you are the chief general of Zhengyang City, you can't control our soldiers in Hangu Pass!"

The centurion stared at Meng Wu, whose temples were gray, aggressive.

Chen Chao saw this scene and frowned slightly.... How dare a small centurion in Hangu Pass speak like this to Meng Wu, who has more than seventy cities? The regional discrimination of this Qin State is quite severe, or in other words, the local division of the Qin State has evolved to treat its own people as enemies.

Dissatisfied with the centurion's attitude, Meng Wu's personal guards instantly drew their swords and joined the confrontation.

Chen Chao's eyes locked on the centurion, and he said in a deep voice:

"I am the prime minister of Daji, you hold the knife with the sword, the crossbow with the crossbow, and even dare to aim the knife and crossbow at the original appearance, I don't want to live."

The centurion said lightly: "Who can prove that you are the prime minister of Daji?" You say you're you, you're it? I don't believe it. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Chao with a sneer on his face, unconcealing his contempt.

Chen Chao retorted: "You don't believe in the true appearance, you should always believe in your own people, General Mengwu has just returned from participating in the Ten Thousand Nations Congress, and behind the original appearance, there are a group of generals from all over your Qin State, even Xianyang, are they all lying to you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers beside the centurion exchanged glances. That's right, everyone will not join forces to deceive them, in case this is really the prime minister of Daji, their sin will be great.

They looked at the centurion, who didn't care.

Before he came out, Generalissimo Mengbao personally gave him an order, asking him to give Prime Minister Daji a dismissal.

This is the perfect moment!

"What if you're Prime Minister Daji? The big guys have seen it with their own eyes, you are shielding the fugitives from my Qin State, according to the laws of my Great Qin, you should be beheaded! ”

Long Wuwei was beside Chen Chao, and although he didn't speak, the fingers of his right hand were all on the trigger of the flintlock pistol, already showing their anger.

In Daji, those who dared to speak to Chen Chao like this would have been beaten into a sieve by them a long time ago.

Are the people of Qin so tiger?

The centurion of a border city dares to speak like this to the prime minister of a country? Did anyone teach him after all.

Chen Chao took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "The prime minister just said that those who enter my Ji Land are all my Ji Min!" ”

"Do you use the laws of the Qin State to bind the true appearance? Are you stupid or are you stupid? ”

The centurion was furious, drew his sword, and stood.

After a pause, Chen Chao pushed aside the crowd, stepped forward, stared at the centurion and said:

"You can't keep people yourself, don't leave a way for ordinary people to live, and blame people for running away?"

"This group of people toiled every day, slept only a few hours, worked until they died, so that they could not eat enough, and their children starved to death. And you, who eat the food they grow and wear the cloth they weave, who are your food and clothing, how can you bear to kill them? ”

"To put it bluntly, you are not soldiers, you are bandits!"

Well said.

The fugitives roared in their hearts, the soldiers of the Qin State didn't treat them as human beings at all, and didn't give them a way to live, what was wrong with them fleeing.

It's true that they are fugitives, but fugitives are also people, they just want to live and eat, what's wrong.

The centurion clenched the war knife in his hand, as if he was completely enraged, his expression was very fierce, and he stepped forward:

"What are you? How dare you say that we are bandits! ”

"Brothers, draw your sword!"

As soon as the words fell, he saw the group of people around Chen Chao, raising the gadgets in their hands in unison, all aimed at them.

The situation on the field was tense in an instant, and it was about to erupt.
