Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1288 Treatment
  "Get up."

Fusu calmly ordered the cavalry captain who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, "Hurry and deal with those people."

Hearing that Fusu's voice did not contain anger, the kneeling team leader stood up carefully, "General, I obey!"

Then he quickly asked someone to deal with the eight idiots on the ground.

Fusu didn't say how to deal with these people, which meant how to deal with them.

The middle-level officers in the Golden Fire Cavalry are very familiar with this process.

If someone is suspected of assassinating the eldest son, he must not be killed directly, or even allowed to die. He must be tortured severely to find out who is the mastermind behind the assassination.

Of course, whether it can be tortured is another matter. How to deal with it in the end depends on the meaning above. People at their level are only responsible for execution.

Fusu didn't care much about the eight comedian-like robbers, and he wasn't very interested in finding out the real culprit behind the scenes. The purpose he wanted to achieve by 'taking' this risk has been achieved.

Everything else doesn't matter.

At this time, greater noise came from the direction close to Songhai City.

Another group of Golden Fire Cavalry came here, but this time there were more people, and the leader had a higher status - the Imperial General Meng Tian.

To say that Meng Tian is also very busy today, to be precise, he hasn't stopped much since last night.

Because of the strange things happening without wind and waves, people in the city were panicking. Coupled with the strict control over the past few days, Meng Tian was worried about causing trouble and had to keep an eye on it.

I almost didn't sleep all night.

At the same time, we got the news that Mirage would delay arriving at Songhai due to the waves.

This news is not a bad thing for him. In this way, cleaning up Songhai Port and preparing for the arrival of the mirage can be postponed for a while until he has the situation in the city completely under control.

But this way, he couldn't take rest during the day and had to continue working.

Then he even paid attention to Fusu's arrival.

And then...he learned the news about Fusu's attack and accident.

Meng Tian's face turned green with anger!
  Yes, angry!

He was not scared to death like the middle-level officer he sent to rescue Fusu. He was so angry that he couldn't do anything. He was angry with the group of assassins and himself.

Meng Tian knew very well how powerful Liusha under Gu Xun was, and he also knew that the eldest son, who was protected by both Liusha and the Shadow Guard, would never get into trouble easily.

But the problem is that although nothing will happen to people, the assassination actually happened, and it happened near Songhai City.

With so many soldiers, he had been in charge of Songhai City for so many days. Logically speaking, he should have eliminated all possible threats around him, but in the end, the dignified eldest son of the empire was assassinated under his nose.

This omission was enough for Fusu to punish him - it was still a good thing that Fusu was assassinated. If the First Emperor came to the east and caused such a situation in the future, it would not be unfair to kill him!
  How could Meng Tian not be angry or annoyed by this?

In anger, he simply abandoned the trivial matters in the city and ran over to pick up Fusu with all the remaining Golden Fire Cavalry.

Meng Tian dismounted and came over. Without saying a word, he first kicked down the officer who had just apologized, then dragged him directly in front of Fusu, and then knelt down on one knee to apologize:

"The attack on His Highness was due to the general's negligence, which gave the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of."

"And this piece of trash! If you don't protect him well and save him too late, you will never be able to redeem yourself even if you die!"

"But in the final analysis, the general hired someone inappropriately. The fault lies with me. Please punish me, Your Highness!"

Listening to these words, you can tell that although Meng Tian's kick did not take away any force, and he kicked the person so hard that he can't even speak, he actually intended to take all the blame on himself. In the final analysis, these soldiers were following orders, and indeed nothing happened. It was just bad luck.

If anyone was at fault, it was Meng Tian's fault - who told him not to clean up the area around Songhai?

Regardless of who those killers are, in short, they emerged from around Songhai, which is Meng Tian's unshirkable responsibility.

Seeing this, Fusu quickly helped Meng Tian up and said with a smile, "I was assassinated. The blame lies with those sneaky villains hiding in the dark. How can the general be blamed?"

"I'm so ashamed!" Fusu came to help him personally. Of course Meng Tian couldn't compete with the eldest son, so he could only follow the trend, looking quite embarrassed.

He was really embarrassed. He had repeatedly promised Gu Xun that he had made arrangements and there would be no problems, but in the end there was still a problem...

Fusu then arranged for the soldiers to help the unlucky officer who had been kicked by Meng Tian to ease himself down, then directly got on his white horse and said to Meng Tian:
  "General Meng, take me into the city first."

"Yes, it was General Mo who was negligent."

When Meng Tian heard this, he quickly mounted his horse, then left a group of people to clean up the front and rear, and finally led a large group of people to protect Fusu and headed towards Songhai City.

Although the chance of Fusu being attacked again was close to zero, Meng Tian still chose the safest protection plan - letting his thousands of golden fire cavalry gather together like a human wall, wrapping Fusu in the center.

Fusu couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this formation, "General Meng, I think nothing will happen. There is no need to create... such a huge formation."

"Safety first, safety first..."

Seeing that Meng Tian was determined, Fusu didn't try to persuade him. Anyway... he just walked slower.

Fusu talked about the people who saved him before, "General Meng, I was able to escape just now, thanks to two benefactors who saved me..."

After listening to Fusu's story, Meng Tian nodded repeatedly, "So that's it. His Royal Highness is indeed blessed by heaven and earth. If you are in danger, there will be noble people to help you!"

First, he flattered me for free - General Meng was a human being, and when faced with the target of his choice, he had to lower his profile. Then he got to the point:

"So, Your Highness needs the general to find these two people, right?"

Fusu nodded, "That's right."

"They have been kind to me, and they have to repay me no matter what."

"However, judging from the attitudes of the two of them, they may be indifferent to fame and fortune and don't like to be disturbed by others. Therefore, I hope that General Meng can be more discreet when looking for people, without making too much fanfare, and there is no need to send people to contact them. .”

"If you find it, just tell me."

"You will finally understand."

………………

"Huh... we're finally here!" Looking at the looming small village not far away, Tianming put his hands on his hips and breathed a sigh of relief.

The distance between Songhai City and Songhai City in the Mohist stronghold is not too far, but it is not really close either. It is quite tiring to walk all the way there.

A dense layer of sweat broke out on Tianming's head.

On the contrary, Xunzi, who was already 70 years old, didn't blush or pant, and didn't even sway his waist.

Xunzi looked at the small village from a distance with a smile, and asked Tianming, "Is this here?"

"Yes!" Tianming's voice was filled with obvious excitement and relief, "Just walk further in and you'll be there."
