Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 359
The north of Jiuyuan City has been like a dead zone since Touman Shanyu withdrew his troops. The small Xiongnu tribes nearby have been forced to move out of the Hetao area under several attacks by the Qin army.

There is no trace of a Hun in the entire Hetao. The First Emperor has ordered the collection of [-] households in the interior to enrich the Hetao area.

On this day, two people suddenly appeared in the north of the empty Jiuyuan, and they were immediately discovered by the defenders of Jiuyuan.

Under the leadership of the corps leader, the cavalry of Yiwu quickly surrounded the two of them.

"Who are you waiting for, why did you come to Jiuyuan?"

The corporal leader in charge took the lead in asking.

Because Ziying's clothes had been damaged in the Dingsha tribe, Ziying's attire looked like a Huns at the moment.

And Haiyan who was tied up was a Huns with strong roots.

"Don't you know Gu?"

Ziying looked at Qin Jun who was surrounding him, and said with a smile.

After the corporal listened, he took a closer look at Ziying's face, and suddenly the expression on his entire face froze.

"You...you...are..."

Seeing the performance of this soldier, Ziying smiled knowingly, his previous efforts were not in vain, now even a small soldier can recognize himself and his appearance.

"You are King Qin."

Before Ziying was over, the corporal said hello and suppressed Ziying's smile.

"King Qin, you are not dead yet..."

Before the corporal leader finished speaking, he was already kicked off the horse by Zi Yingfei.

"Is it easy for me to come back alive? As for cheating me like this, he presumptuously called me the king of Qin. If the first emperor finds out, I'm afraid I won't know how I died." Ziying thought to himself.

Just when Ziying was wondering if he had offended someone, he sent someone to secretly declare that he had a heart of disobedience and called himself King Qin.

The other four cavalrymen of the Qin Army had also recognized Ziying's identity at this moment.

They got off their horses one after another, bowed respectfully and said: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Qin!"

The actions of these four people immediately made Ziying feel that something was wrong, that is, someone claimed that he had a heart of disobedience and called himself the King of Qin, and these soldiers should not call him so justly when they met.

"After the Xiongnu retreated, tell me in detail what happened." Seeing that the corporal leader was already clutching his buttocks and slowly leaning forward, Ziying asked aloud.

The corporal commander of the Qin army, who had been kicked inexplicably, glanced at Ziying resentfully, and then explained in detail what happened after the Huns withdrew.

Many details were not known because of his identity, but the news that Ziying was named the King of Qin had already been announced to the world, so they still knew about it.

After listening to the corporal leader's narration, Ziying herself was stunned.

"I actually became King Qin, how is this possible?"

Ziying would not be a bit surprised even if he restores his title of King of Zhen. In fact, the word Qin Wang is really shocking, and the same title as the country has always been treated by the emperor himself.

Could it be that there was some misunderstanding, Ziying decided to go to Meng Tian to find out the details.

"Meng Tian is so busy these days, take Gu to see Meng Tian." Zi Ying continued, "Look at the man tied up behind him, this is the second prince of the Xiongnu."

"General Meng is at your mourning hall."

Ziying: "..."

……

If Ziying died in the grassland, Jiuyuan City could be said to be the last place where Ziying stayed, so after the news spread that Ziying was trapped in the grassland, Du Ling and Sima Jingjing, who were deeply saddened, sent the chief secretary of the Junfu Xu Cheng came to Jiuyuan to collect Ziying's "relics".

No matter what, Ziying was also the commander-in-chief of the first army, and his prestige in the army was extremely high. After Xu Cheng arrived, Meng Tian simply ordered a mourning hall to be set up in Ziying's "former residence" in Jiuyuan City, and Ziying's relics were enshrined in the hall. Inside, it is for the soldiers of the three armies to look up and remember.

In the past few days, Meng Tian even personally guarded Ziying in the mourning hall.

When Ziying rushed to his temporary residence in Jiuyuan under the leadership of the corporal leader, he saw such a scene.

A bright banner hangs high on the side of the steps outside the main hall, and the whole hall is decorated with white curtains in a very solemn and solemn manner. In the middle of the hall, there is a spiritual seat, with the inscription "The seat of Qin Wang Ying Ziying".

There was a pottery basin under the table in front of the coffin, and a general in armor was silently burning the fire. Ziying took a closer look and it was the lieutenant Meng Tian he was looking for.

On Meng Tian's side, a man dressed like a witch, holding a small white flag, muttering while jumping up and down.

It was his retainer, Xu Cheng.

Ziying didn't hear what was said, only heard a few sentences like "The soul is back...".

It seems that he is summoning his own soul, um.

Unexpectedly, Xu Cheng also has the function of summoning souls.

Ziying walked into the lobby slowly, looking at the two people who were still intoxicated by "sorrow" and couldn't control themselves, Ziying coughed lightly.

"cough……"

This sound immediately attracted the attention of the two of them.

Watching the eyes of the two people turn around, Ziying slowly opened his arms, he escaped from death and the two couldn't give him a warm hug.

"Ghost!..." A piercing scream came from Xu Cheng's mouth, and the white cloth banner in his hand also smashed towards Ziying, who turned sideways to avoid it.

"Prince Qin, Xu Cheng has always been loyal to you, and I will make up for the money you paid for buying Mingsui and candlelights out of greed."

Xu Cheng, who was dressed as a witch, jumped behind Meng Tian as soon as he saw Ziying.

His feet were shaking constantly.

Even Meng Tian, ​​who had been squatting all this time, stood up abruptly. Although he didn't retreat, he still clenched the long sword in his hand.

"King Qin, I know that you are unwilling. Meng Tian hereby swears that within ten years, he will destroy the Xiongnu and avenge King Qin."

Hearing the words of the two, Ziying's face was filled with black lines, and Xu Cheng was just like that. How could Meng Tian, ​​the famous general who expelled the Huns in history, be so superstitious.

In fact, it is not Meng Tian's fault. In this era, the theory of ghosts and gods can be said to be the supreme "truth" deeply rooted in everyone's mind.

Meng Tian in history, when Zhao Gao forged the first emperor's edict to grant him death, said: "Tian's crime is sure to die. Starting from Liaodong, which belongs to Lintao, the city is more than ten thousand miles away, and there can't be no ties in it? This is it. Tian's crime."

He thought that by building the Great Wall, he must have broken the veins of the earth, and he deserved to die.

Now, the two of them were summoning Ziying's soul again. When Ziying's real body appeared, naturally the first reaction of the two of them was that Lord Chang'an had indeed died tragically on the grassland.

This is unwilling or unwilling, the soul has already been recalled.

Today's weather is very good, near noon, the sun slanted in from the outside of the lobby, and evenly sprinkled on Ziying's body with black lines on his face and arms outstretched.

Meng Tian looked at the scorching sun, then at Ziying's long figure, and suddenly became thoughtful.

He asked tentatively, "King Qin, you came back alive from the grassland."
