After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 155
The man's eyes were full of doubts, he looked Mengdi up and down, but he still didn't recognize him.

"Your Excellency must have misunderstood someone. I have no impression of you at all, and I am not a warrior."

When he said this, it seemed that he was thinking of some unbearable past events, and his expression was a little lonely.

Seeing his expression, Meng Di guessed some reasons, so he said in a low voice.

"I was a subordinate of General Wu Hei back then. I saw a warrior beside Ling Yin in the camp. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Your Excellency, but I don't know what your name is, and why did you end up here? "

Hearing that he was a comrade in the Chu army back then, the man's expression was a little sad. At this time, the businessman he was following also showed some curiosity in his eyes, wanting to come over and listen.

Looking at the situation in front of him, the warrior next to Nangwa must have some secrets to hide his identity until now, so he suddenly respected his intentions and said to the businessman without revealing it on the spot.

"I have an old relationship with your entourage, so this time he can't go back with you. I will send someone to escort you on your way back."

These words are very domineering, the businessman often travels north and south, so he is naturally winking, after hearing this, he knew that Mengdi's status is not low, so he said quickly.

"He is not my entourage, but when he was about to starve to death, I gave him some food, so in order to repay me, he has been serving as my guard. This adult doesn't know how to call him."

Hearing what he said, Meng Di didn't reveal his identity, because he still didn't want people to associate Huaicheng with him, so he said it.

"I have a good relationship with the city lord here. If you need help with anything, you can go directly to the city lord's mansion to find me. I will stay here for a while."

The businessman thanked him, Meng Di made a gesture of please, the man next to the businessman hesitated, and then followed.

Bai Gui had already received the news, so he greeted him directly from the mansion, and said with a smile after saluting.

"I didn't expect the lord to come so fast. Now Huai City has gradually taken shape. Although it is a bit crude, the daily business tax is a big income. I don't know how the lord treats Huai. What dissatisfaction does the city have?"

"I think it is very good. Judging from the current situation, it is not bad for Huai City to maintain the status quo. Why not choose another city later and use it specifically for the placement of troops. Looking at it now, when I built the city wall, the area surrounded was still A little small."

Hearing Mengdi's words, Bai Gui laughed and stretched out his hand to ask Mengdi to enter.

Hearing the conversation between the two, the man's face revealed a look of shock. He didn't expect how a general of the Chu State could be called the lord by the city lord of Huai City. This is a bit unbelievable.

After arriving at the lobby, Meng Di invited the man to sit down together. At this moment, Bai Gui also realized that this man Meng Di was very interested in, but he didn't ask any questions, but just sized him up curiously.

Only then did Meng Di reveal his identity.

"I'm Meng Di and now I'm the owner of Huai City, can you tell me your name truthfully?"

Hearing what he said, the man didn't hesitate, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

"In the past, I worked as a charioteer by Ling Yin's side, named Shi Huang. Later, Ling Yin was defeated. I originally wanted to fight to the death to repay Ling Yin's kindness, but I didn't expect to be seriously injured on the battlefield. not dead."

"I was rescued by this person passing by, and later became his follower. I originally wanted to remain anonymous from now on, but I didn't expect to be recognized by adults today."

This made Mengdi think of the scene when Wu Zixu and Sun Wu led troops to attack Chu State, and he couldn't help but sigh. Although Nangwa is a valuable minister of Chu State, he doesn't have human eyesight and doesn't know how to accept good words.

So eager to strive for success, he was caught off guard by Wu Jun, and finally fled to Zheng State and was forced to commit suicide. It is a pity that those soldiers of Chu State died in vain, so he said with some emotion.

"At that time, Chu State was defeated, and in the end, in desperation, I had no choice but to wander to Lu State and became a doctor of Lu State. Now I have settled down. I don't know if you want to follow me in the future and start a career?"

At this time, Emperor Shi's face revealed a look of shame, and he lowered his head and said.

"The defeated army dare not speak bravely. Although I have some brute force, I can't assist Lord Ling Yin to win the battle, and I can't follow the master with complete loyalty and righteousness. How can I still have the face to serve the Lord?"

Hearing this, Meng Di shook his head, and said in a very sincere tone.

"After you were defeated in Nangwa, you still chose to fight to the death, which is enough to show your loyalty and bravery, and you were lucky enough to survive. This is God's mercy. I just want you to meet me today and make some achievements. If you are willing If so, please be my general."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Shi tightly clenched his fists, remained silent for a moment, and then raised his head.

"Since your lord said so, then I am willing to be a guard at your side from now on, willing to be an eagle dog."

Hearing this, Meng Di was overjoyed and took off his sword from his waist, and walked in front of Emperor Shi.

"It is my honor to be able to get a warrior like you today. Although this sword is not a peerless sword, it has followed me in battle several times and I will give it to you today. I hope you can build your own career with this sword in the future. .”

Shi Huang quickly stood up and took it with both hands, his eyes were already a little red, and he said in an excited tone.

"This subordinate has met the lord, thank you for the sword."

As he spoke, he directly knelt down to salute, Meng Di didn't reach out to stop him, but helped him up after he saluted.

"Since you have become my subordinate today, you still have to pay back to that businessman."

Having said that, Mengdi turned his head and said to Bai Gui.

"Today, if I get Emperor Shi, if I get a treasure, I would like to ask Mr. Bai to reward the merchant with gold from the treasury."

Naturally, Bai Gui also understood that Mengdi wanted to use this method to express his importance to the Emperor Shi, so that everyone in the world would know that Huai City was thirsty for talents, so that more people would flock here .

So he immediately ordered someone to fetch a plate of gold, Meng Di said to Shi Huang at this time.

"For the favor of others, you should repay it with the spring. Although the gold is not much, it is still my heart. Please take it back and give it to the merchant. At the same time, you escort him back directly, and then return Huaicheng is."
