Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 928 Mr. Shangjun
  The difficulty of riding a horse through the rugged mountains and narrow roads can be imagined. The speed of the whole team is not even as smooth as the whole team moving their legs.

Gu Xun's body swayed with the slow pace of the horse, and he said lazily to Meng Tian, ​​"General Meng, why do you bring these thousands of golden fire cavalry?"

"The road into Shu is much smoother for people than for horses. Besides, given the terrain characteristics of Shu, the cavalry can't play any role at all!"

Hearing this, Meng Tian pulled out a smile on his serious face and replied, "Meng Tian understands what the Imperial Preceptor said, and the deployment of cavalry is just to take precautions and to be prepared."

"Besides..." Meng Tian couldn't help but turn his head and glance behind him, his smile adding a hint of helplessness, "Anyway, there will be trouble, and that's all."

Looking along Meng Tian's line of sight, he could suddenly see a carriage, being pulled by two packhorses, and the wheels were slowly moving forward with a grunting sound.

Gu Xun also glanced at the carriage at this time, with a joking smile on his lips. Indeed, compared to the carriage, it is actually not that troublesome for the cavalry to walk on the mountain road.

As for who is sitting in the carriage...of course it's someone from the Yin Yang family.

Originally, Concubine Yan wanted to go to Shu with Gu Xun when she had nothing to do. After all, it was the two of them who first interacted with the Shushan tribe back then. This time they went together again, which was a beginning and an end.

However, she gave up after learning that the Yin Yang family would also send someone to accompany them, and that the leader was the Moon God.

It would be okay for her to meet her cheap sister once in a while, but if she needs to go all the way to Sichuan... then forget it, for fear of getting into a fight.

Originally, my intention to go was not very firm, so I gave up.

"Hehe..." Gu Xun chuckled and joked, "Don't worry about General Meng. We are all women after all. It's normal to want to take a carriage when going out."

Meng Tian picked up the reins and replied with a wry smile, "Why did the Imperial Master say this... This is His Majesty's order. Meng has no objection. I'm afraid this operation will take a lot of time."

At this time, Yan Lingji reached out and pinched Gu Xun, and asked angrily, "Other women can ride in a carriage, why do I have to ride with you?"

Gu Xun patted her on the back gently and comforted her deliberately, teasingly, "I am a noble girl from the Central Plains, so of course I have to take good care of her. You are a Baiyue barbarian, so it would be nice if you have a horse to ride on."

"Besides, isn't it embarrassing to ride on the same horse as me?"

Gu Xun's words did not deliberately promote the Moon Goddess. As a descendant of Ji, no matter what her current status is, she belongs to the upper echelon of nobles. She is a completely different class from the grassroots women without surnames, let alone Yan. Lingji is still a Baiyue, and she belongs to the Zhou Dynasty etiquette system.

"Huh..." Yan Lingji was too lazy to talk and just rolled her eyes.

At this time, the cold and quiet voice of the Moon God came from the carriage and floated into the ears of Gu Xun and others, "General Meng, there is no need to be embarrassed. If it is inconvenient, we will cooperate with the army."

Meng Tian's originally smiling face immediately turned cold, becoming as expressionless as when he usually led troops into battle.

A large group of people and horses were marching, and there was quite a lot of noise in the mountain road. Moreover, they were separated by several feet of distance and a layer of carriages. Meng Tian really didn't expect that the Moon God could still hear their conversation under such circumstances.

He was caught talking about others behind his back. Even if he thought what he said was reasonable, he still felt a little uncomfortable and had no choice but to put on an air of being indifferent to the world.

Gu Xun, however, didn't care. He naturally knew whether Yueshen could hear their conversation clearly, but he just didn't care.

Just listen if you hear it, it's basically the truth anyway.

"Hey!" Gu Xun's smile did not change, and he nodded to Meng Tian and said jokingly, "How about it, this will save you a lot of trouble. When you get back, you can dismantle the carriage and set it on fire, and let them ride with them. "Haha...hehe..." Meng Tian's mouth twitched, he forced a smile, and then immediately put it away, "The Imperial Master is joking."

Meng Tian's attitude toward the people of the Yin and Yang family was the same as that of most people in the court - he didn't like them or get close to them, but he didn't want to offend them either.

In any case, now that the Emperor is bent on pursuing immortality, and the Yin Yang family is favored, even if they feel that they are just confusing the Emperor's heart, Meng Tian and other ministers do not dare to say anything or do anything.

The majesty of the emperor is above all else!

Gu Xun also knew Meng Tian's attitude towards the Yin Yang family, so he shook his head and smiled and stopped teasing each other about this matter.

As an important minister of the empire and a miraculous doctor with superb medical skills, he had treated Ying Zheng frequently in the past few years.

With the complete unification of the world and the return of all the Central Plains to the empire, the number of government affairs that Ying Zheng needs to worry about every day has also skyrocketed, and it is difficult to find a few days off in a month.

After all this hard work, Ying Zheng's physical condition, needless to say, can only be described as getting worse and worse. Migraines have also occurred more and more frequently, and he has to continue to rely on the medicines donated by the Yin and Yang family.

Gu Xun tried to recuperate his body several times, and the effect... should be said to be pretty good, but in the end it could only alleviate the temporary difficulty, and no one who endured death day by day would be able to do well.

The more severe the physical problems became, the more Ying Zheng yearned for the immortality promised by Donghuang Taiyi, and the more he favored the Yin Yang family.

This is a reality that no one can change. After all... no one can ask the First Emperor to not be afraid of death.

………………

In the northern part of the empire, Shangjun County governs Fushi County.

Fusu, the eldest son of the empire, currently lives in Shangjun County and is responsible for supervising the border troops in the north. He is also responsible for supervising the construction of the Great Wall.

Meng Tian was ordered to rebuild the Great Wall of the Three Kingdoms of Qin, Yan and Zhao to build a solid border defense line stretching thousands of miles from Longxi Lintao in the west to Liaodong in the east. Shangjun and Jiuyuan counties were important construction areas.

As a young master, Fusu could not hold any official position outside the capital such as being a county guard. At the same time, he could not stay outside the capital for no reason, so he was casually assigned the job of supervising the army by Ying Zheng. It was considered a legitimate departure. capital.

Of course, in theory, this is considered a relegation, a distribution, and a punishment.

In fact, most officials in the court thought so. They believed that His Majesty the Emperor did not like the eldest son very much, but they did not deliberately alienate Fusu because of this.

In any case, under the patriarchal system, the elders are established rather than the young, and Fusu is always the most likely successor to the throne.

In the eldest son's mansion in Fushi County, even though it was already dark, many places in the mansion were still brightly lit, lighting up half of the sky.

In the atrium study room, Fusu was sitting there.

Fusu, who has reached the peak of his youth, has completely grown up, has a slender body, a face as white as jade, and sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He is no different from his father when he was young. In addition, he has never given up on martial arts practice over the years, and his aura Long and mellow, with excellent body.

At the same time, he has a mature temperament that is as gentle as jade and as hard as iron. He is truly a handsome and peerless young man.
