After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 21 Yamagoshi
"Princess, is this?"

"Brother Meng, call me Bier."

At this moment, Mengdi noticed a carriage not far away, and there was an old woman in the carriage with cold eyes.

"Brother Meng, I'm leaving with Master Zhu." Ji Mi's eyes were filled with resentment, "The master will lead us to the Ruins of Zhu Rong, this is my destiny."

"..." Ever since hearing Zuo She's words, Mengdi has no good impression of Wumen, but Ji Mi still looks pious.

"That's great. I can see Brother Meng again before I leave. Can you call me again?"

Meng Di had a feeling of losing the other party forever, and said with difficulty in Ji Mi's expectant eyes: "Pi'er, I will find you.".

Ji Mi smiled happily, but with tears in her eyes, she stepped back slowly, got into the carriage, and looked back at the prime minister in the carriage until she gradually went away.

After all, do we still have to go our own way?Meng Di stretched out his hand, but he couldn't grab anything, and his heart was empty.

Meng Di didn't know how he got back to the city, and Jing He obediently followed behind, not daring to make a sound.

Back in the room, he sat there blankly until Dou Xin found him.

Dou Xin sighed secretly, but Meng Di had returned to normal. The separation had been expected for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be so fast and so simple. Only when he became stronger, if he was strong enough, there would be a day to meet again.

"Did Mr. Dou come to see me?" Mengdi said calmly.

Dou Xin was quite surprised, staring at Meng Di and said: "Your Majesty ordered you to go to Yue to persuade Yue to send troops to Wu."

"Your Majesty actually has such vision?"

"Ahem, Master Zixi meant it." Dou Xin was embarrassed.

"When to set off?"

"The sooner the better."

"Sure enough, Wu Guo sent troops to Zheng Guo." After a moment of silence, Dou Xin said with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty seems to have some prejudice against you. You don't need to go on this mission...you don't need to come back."

Seemingly unable to face it, Douxin finished speaking with difficulty, then turned and left.When he walked to the door, he said again: "Your former subordinates are waiting for you outside, let them follow you on the mission."

Former subordinates!Meng Di didn't take Chu Wang's prejudice to heart, but was pleasantly surprised to meet Pao Ze again.

The spring is bright and beautiful, and as far as the eye can see, the mountains are green, and a group of people travel lightly and easily, and go straight to Kuaiji City, the capital of the Yue Kingdom, from the small road.The idyllic scenery along the way, chickens and dogs hear each other, and I can't feel the breath of war at all.

Those who followed the defeated soldiers to Suiguo were Xiao Wu Xiao Liu, Gan Ying and a few cavalrymen. The rest of them were either killed in battle, or they didn't know where they were living.

When they set out, they went to the north of the city first, saw Meng Di leading more than ten riders, full of energy, Zuo She nodded with satisfaction.

On the other hand, Jing Tie, who is heartless on weekdays, at this time parted with Lian'er with regret, seemed to have endless words, and finally blushed and rode away amidst the laughter of the crowd.

Meng Di sat on a thick felt pad, playing with the bamboo slips in his hand.After everyone knew the reason, the crowd was furious, and the little five and the little six were even more worthless. They clamored to go to the Yue country, and no one would work for the Chu country.

But since he has promised Douxin, he still has to do his best to go on a mission, and it should be for Ji Mi.

A noise came from ahead, which interrupted Meng Di's thoughts. He looked out of the window and saw a group of people around the intersection.

Jing Tie is a person who likes to be lively. He has already gone to inquire about it, and when he came back, he reported to the villagers that they had caught a Shanyue.

"Shanyue?" Meng Di's heart skipped a beat.I heard from Li that there are some tribes in the Yue Kingdom who gather in the mountains and forests. They are wild and uneducated by nature, and they often attack the surrounding villages. They are called Shanyue.

I got out of the car and approached the crowd, and found a dark-skinned child squatting on the ground, holding his head in his hands, his face was blue and blue, and his eyes showed a look of horror.The villagers were pointing around, and when they saw a big man coming, they hurried out of the way.

A person who looked like a village head stepped forward and asked respectfully, "My lord, what can I do for you?"

"Is this Sangoshi? What are you going to do?"

"According to the usual practice, send it to the government."

"Leave it to us."

"This……"

He turned his head and signaled his entourage to give some property to the villagers, and then went straight to board the car with Shanyue.

The carriage continued to move forward, but there was a small figure curled up in a corner inside the carriage.Meng Di tried to communicate, but Xiao Shanyue never said a word, his eyes were stubborn and full of distrust.

Helpless, I had to take my time.

However, the progress didn't seem to be going well. Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu came over curiously and took out dry food to feed them, but Shan Yue bared their teeth and frightened them back.

It doesn't matter to Meng Di, anyway, it's very boring all the way, just take it easy.

One day, there seemed to be a sharp whistle coming from the mountains, and Xiao Shanyue's ears were pricked up, listening intently.

The attendant reported through the curtain: "My lord, there seems to be something following."

With a sound of "Duo", a feathered arrow was nailed to the carriage, and the attendants hurriedly stood in front of the carriage, looking around.Meng Di got out of the car and picked up the feathered arrows. The shafts of the arrows were rough, and the arrow bushes seemed to be polished with bones.

The group of people was not in a panic, and quietly looked at the woods not far away. They had experienced great battles, so they would not take little thieves seriously.

There were more and more whistles in the forest, gradually approaching, overwhelming the sky in a blink of an eye, and stopped suddenly at the moment of approaching.

The transition between movement and stillness seems to give people an illusion that something hidden in the dark is about to pounce out and choose someone to eat.The followers were a little flustered, and a tense atmosphere permeated the air.

Meng Di smiled slightly, and shouted luckily: "You don't have to play tricks, just come out."

The forest was still silent, but it was no longer so weird. A moment later, a figure jumped down from the treetops.

Looking intently, this man's face was painted with colorful oil paint, his upper body was naked, and he carried a bamboo bow on his back. Except for the long sword in his hand, the word "native" was written on his forehead.

Is this the image of Sangoshi?Wait, Meng Di narrowed his eyes and stared at the long sword in the native's hand.

Meng Di came to this world, but he still hasn't found a suitable sword.Ironware in Chu State has just begun to be used in small quantities, and copper is still the main weapon manufacturing.

Copper is brittle, hard and easy to break, so it can only be cast into short swords. Only bronze swords cast by some skillful craftsmen with secret methods can have long swords.

It seems that this native is not an ordinary Shanyue, he doesn't seem to be a road robber.Meng Di thought about it, looked behind him, and sure enough, a small head poked out of the car window, his face full of excitement.

"My lord, can you return the little girl?"

To Chi's surprise, this Xiao Shanyue is actually a girl?Lifting the curtain of the car casually, Xiao Shan hesitated for a moment, jumped out of the carriage lightly, ran in front of the native, jumped on his shoulders, hugged his neck with his hands, whispered something in his ear, and looked in Chi's direction while talking .

The eyes of the aborigine softened, he put down his daughter, and saluted Chigong: "Thank you, sir, for saving the little girl and taking care of her all the way. Han Qu is very grateful!"

"It's nothing more than a little effort, Brother Han, you don't seem to be ordinary Shanyue?" There is no language barrier, which is beyond Mengdi's expectation. Isn't it said that there are many tribes in Yue, and the pronunciation is different for ten miles?

"It's a long story. Your lord is the savior of my little girl. Please walk up the mountain to tell me, and let us express our gratitude?"

Hearing such polite words from the mouth of this rough and majestic aborigine felt very inconsistent.Meng Di was also polite, leaving a few people to take care of the horses, and took Gan Ying and others up the mountain.

Although Han Qu was silent, he admired everyone's courage and straightforwardness in his heart.With a whistle, the branches in the forest were swaying, and countless figures appeared. With a cry, they jumped between the branches and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
