Chapter 412 The wind rises and the clouds fly

"...Hey, do you think the emperor's elixir can be practiced this time?"

"I don't think it's difficult. The elixir is something made by gods. How can mortals practice it!"

"But I heard that Xu Fu is a person with background and ability..."

"No matter how capable he is, he is not a fairy. What's more, Xu Fu has been taking boys and girls to sea for more than a year. There is no news at all. I'm afraid he will be buried in the maw of a fish."

"It is said that when the emperor fell ill in Pingyuanjin, he had already sent people to Mount Tai to build an alchemy temple, and summoned all the famous alchemists in the world, led by Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng, to put a large number of ganoderma lucidum into the furnace, open the altar, and pray for destiny. To refine the elixir! Each phase needs 49 days, and now it is almost time for the fifth phase of the furnace to open."

"Hasn't General Meng already sent General Nangong to investigate the situation, there should be news soon."

Before Zhang Jin opened his eyes, whispers kept coming from his ears.

After he opened his eyes, what he saw was a black tent with red edges and cloud pattern, surrounded by Mongolian flags or Qin flags, surrounded by men in leather armor, needless to say, it must be the Meng family of the soldiers.

Meng Yi managed the army well, with strict military regulations and clear rewards and punishments, but he did not forbid his soldiers to chat, as long as the emperor and the affairs around the emperor were not involved.

The soldiers of the Meng family have been born and died with Meng Yi for a long time, they are considered half of their own family, so naturally they will not do those bad things and gossip that hurt their generals.

"Well, Ah Jin, you're awake, but with you, can you sit and fall asleep here?" A person next to him laughed.

Zhang Jin was about to answer when he heard someone shouting loudly: "General Nangong is back!"

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers of the Meng family stopped talking, stood up from the ground, turned their heads and looked in the direction of the gate of the camp. Although they couldn't see anything through the heavy tents, everyone looked very serious.

Not long after, another report sounded in the distance: "General Nangong is back in camp, there is an urgent military report!"

"General Nangong is back, I don't know if the elixir has been refined yet?"

"It takes at least one day to go back and forth from here to Mount Tai. General Nangong came back after only half a day. He must have encountered something on the way, maybe he met General Xu Gui who was escorting the elixir."

"If we really met General Xu Gui, why didn't General Xu Gui go back to the camp together?"

"Who knows, maybe it was delayed by something..."

"I guess General Xu Gui is transporting the elixir back, and General Nangong came back first to announce the good news."

There was a lot of discussion.

Zhang Jin looked up at the sky, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, the sun was shining brightly. On such a beautiful day, a killing about power was about to start!

Outside Qin Huang's tent, Meng Yi in military uniform saw Nan Gongyan who had rushed all the way back to report the news.

Nan Gongyan saluted and said: "Report to the general, the elixir has been refined, and General Xu Gui was besieged by the rebels on the way to escort the elixir!"

Meng Yi's face darkened, and he ordered decisively: "Call the people and prepare to go!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the big tent, preparing to ask Qin Huang for an order.

The military order to gather soon reached the ears of soldiers in each barracks.

Outside the barracks of the Meng family's children, they heard that General Meng called for a gathering of men and horses. Everyone, whether they were infantry or cavalry, all equipped their armor one after another, checked their weapons and saddled their horses, and their actions were orderly. They were no longer idle like before. Chill the atmosphere!

Soon after, Meng Yi rode his war horse Heifeng into the open space next to the camp, and stopped his horse.

"The soldiers of the Meng family obey the order!"

"Those who have old parents at home are listed!"

"The only child in the family goes out!"

"Those who have wives and children come out!"

"Whoever goes out is the first battalion, and the rest of the disciples get on the horse!"

The voice just fell.

Swish!The soldiers of the Meng family who did not come out turned on their horses neatly, as if they were different clones of the same person!
Nan Gongyan couldn't help but said: "General! How many years have we shared honor and disgrace, why can't we live and die together now? Nangong Yan swears to follow the general!"

After all, he also turned on his horse neatly.

The other soldiers and knights of the Meng family who came out also mounted their horses one after another, and shouted at the same time: "Follow the general to the death!"

After this wave of slogans was shouted, people were about to set off. Zhang Jin hurried forward and said, "General Meng, take me with you. You know my strength, and I won't cause you any trouble!"

Before Meng Yi could say anything, Nan Gongyan said first, "Zhang Jin, I know you are very skilled in martial arts, but you are a pawn and you don't know how to ride a horse. How can you keep up with us? Do you rely on your feet?"

I'm really no slower than you riding a horse with one pair of feet!

Zhang Jin thought to himself, but he said: "I can set up a chariot, General Meng, you must have many difficulties on this trip, and taking me is one more helper!"

"General, I think you can take him with you." Nan Gongyan also nodded.

He knew that in addition to not being able to ride a horse, Zhang Jin's ability can be said to be the best in the three armies, and he is invincible in fighting with a spear and spear.With the other party by his side, it will be much easier to rescue General Xu Gui who was besieged by the rebels this time.

Meng Yi hesitated for a while, then shook his head and said, "Zhang Jin, I won't take you with me, but I have an important task for you. You go to protect Concubine Li. Before I come back, no one can take her with you." Take it away by force, even Prime Minister Li Si can't do it, can you do it?"

Meng Yi wants to protect Concubine Li by himself?Was it because he was afraid that he would not be able to come back in time before Emperor Qin died, and Li Si and Zhao Gao would arrange for Concubine Li to be buried in festivals?
Zhang Jin understood Meng Yi's thoughts in an instant, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The general is worrying too much, as long as the elixir can be brought back, the emperor will be safe and sound."

Meng Yi galloped up to him, stared at him and said, "If you're not afraid of [-], just in case, I'll ask you if you can do it?"

Zhang Jin looked up at him. Judging from the expression on the other side's face, the general seemed to have sensed some conspiracy about Zhao Gao, Li Si and Hu Hai.

"Obey, General Meng."

"Take your weapons, and I will personally take you to Concubine Li's carriage." After Meng Yi finished speaking, he urged the horse to turn around and walk outside.

Zhang Jin turned around, picked up his special iron spear on the weapon rack, and walked out with the team of knights from the Meng family.

"Nangongyan, take the others to wait for me at the gate first. Zhang Jin, come with me." After Meng Yi explained to Nangongyan, he took Zhang Jin to Concubine Li's carriage.

In the carriage, Yu Shu was staring at the bamboo slips in front of him in a daze, not knowing where his thoughts were wandering.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the carriage.

"Concubine Li!"

Yu Shu came back to his senses, opened the red gauze curtain and looked out in surprise: "General Meng Yi?!"

"Concubine Li, I'm going to get the medicine at the end, and I specially asked Zhang Jin to stay by your side. No matter what happens, you have to wait for me to come back. Zhang Jin will always protect you." Meng Yi said.

"Understood, General Meng Yi, be careful all the way here!" Yu Shu nodded with a smile.

Meng Yi didn't say anything more, just took a deep look at the beauty in the car, then turned around and rode away.

Yushu turned her head and watched the other party's figure disappear into the heavy tents, then turned her gaze back to Zhang Jin: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Concubine Li, you are too serious."

"I haven't had the chance to see each other since I entered the palace. I still remember the song you played for me when I was outside the customs. It's a beautiful myth, right?" Yu Shu's beautiful face showed a smile of reminiscence.

"Yes." Zhang Jin nodded.

Yushu took out a beautifully crafted hole flute from the low table of the carriage, and said, "I asked the musicians in the palace to teach me how to play the hole flute, and I am very proficient now, but unfortunately I don't remember the music you played at that time. fully restored."

Zhang Jin was surprised that the other party even specially learned the hole flute: "If Concubine Li likes it, I can teach this piece to Concubine Li."

"It's great, so I can play it often!" Yushu said happily.

In the huge Xianyang Palace, she often felt lonely and lonely by herself. Although the Emperor Qin was very kind to her, firstly he was old, and secondly, this Great Qin Xiongzhu cared about the world, and liked to go on tours and search for immortals and medicines, not to mention the harem There are many concubines, and the number of times I met Qin Huang can be counted on the fingers.

The two are also in a political marriage. Although they respect each other as guests, they are not fond of each other.

On days when Emperor Qin didn't summon her, when she was alone in the palace, she liked to sit by the lake and look at the koi in the water, talking to herself, and recalling the good times when she was free and easy outside the pass.

"Zhang Jin, wait for General Meng Yi to get back the elixir, the three of us will find time to get together, do you think it will work?"

"Concubine Li, General Meng going here to retrieve the elixir is very dangerous, and he is close to death."

Yu Shu was startled, and asked: "Isn't General Meng Yi the number one warrior in the Great Qin Dynasty? Why is there a danger that he can't solve?"

"..." Zhang Jin was a little speechless. Has Yushu blindly trusted Meng Yi to such an extent? "Concubine Li, no matter how powerful General Meng is, he is hard to beat with two fists and four hands. There are thousands of people in the rebel army, how can the gap of dozens of times be made up by personal bravery!"

Yu Shu frowned when he heard the words, and said worriedly: "Then... what should I do, should I ask the emperor to send more people to support General Meng Yi? Yes, that's right, it should be done..."

With that said, she was about to get up and get off the carriage.

Zhang Jin hurriedly dissuaded him: "Concubine Li, wait a moment. The emperor is seriously ill, and the army has the heavy responsibility of escorting the army. Prime Minister Li Si will not allow the army to move lightly. That's why General Meng asked to take the Qingqi from the headquarters to get the medicine. If you rush Going to mention it to the emperor, I'm afraid it will delay General Meng and leave people with a tongue."

"Then what should I do?" Yu Shu looked at Zhang Jin asking for help.

Zhang Jin was silent for a while, and then looked back at Yu Shu with a firm look: "Concubine Li, do you trust me?"

"Of course I believe, we have experienced life and death together." Yu Shu nodded without hesitation.

"Then..." Zhang Jin looked around, approached the carriage window and said cautiously, "Do you want to spend the rest of your life with General Meng?"

Yu Shu suddenly widened his eyes, eyes full of astonishment.After a while, she still asked incredulously, "You...why did you suddenly ask this?"

It is impossible for the man in front of her to know her feelings for Meng Yi, and he helped her a lot on the way back to Qin.

"Concubine Li, with all due respect, this incident is the best chance for you and General Meng to be together!"

"Huh? I don't understand."

"Concubine Li, I don't have time to explain, you just need to remember one sentence, after the elixir is delivered back, you take the initiative to request to test the medicine for the emperor, and if you unfortunately leave the emperor, you will be buried with the emperor after death , remember?"

"Remember, but, can this really work? I mean General Meng Yi..." Yu Shu was a little worried.

Zhang Jin said to himself: "Concubine Li, you trust me, everything I say and do is for the good of you and General Meng."

Yushu looked at him with bright eyes, nodded after a while and said: "I understand, I will do as you said."

"In addition, although I know that General Meng has feelings for you, Concubine Li, but the General has his difficulties. He shoulders a heavier responsibility than the relationship between a man and a woman. I hope Concubine Li can understand." Zhang Jin said.

"I understand that when I married the Emperor Qin far away from my home country, why didn't I shoulder the same heavy responsibility? It must be fate playing tricks on us." Yu Shu sighed.

"Concubine Li, if General Meng has no intention of speaking after you propose to test the medicine, then you have to force him to test the medicine with you, in this way..." Zhang Jin looked around again and confirmed After no one eavesdropped, the voice was lowered to a level that only two people could hear.

Yu Shu listened, with a look of shock on his face, he raised his hand to cover his lips, and after a while he asked back: "What you said is true? Where did you hear the news from!"

"Concubine Li, you don't need to know this. Isn't what you want to be able to stay with General Meng? You don't need to pay attention to other national affairs. The reason why I tell you is to make you feel at ease. You are doing this to save General Meng. , not to harm him.” Zhang Jin took half a step back and returned to his normal position, “By the way, I have one more request, please ask Li Fei to ask the personal internal officer to arrange for me to leave the camp in the name of fetching water. I'm going to help General Meng tide over the difficulties!"

"It's simple." Yu Shu pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then called the personal officer to give instructions.

At the camp gate.

"Stop! No one is allowed to leave the camp without a warrant!"

The soldiers at the gate stopped Zhang Jin and the internal officials.

The inner officer stepped forward and said: "Zhang Junhou was ordered by Concubine Li to go to the nearby water source to fetch water, open the door quickly!"

The soldier asked: "There is obviously water in the camp, why did you send someone to fetch it?"

The internal official replied: "Concubine Li wants clean and running water that no one has ever used to pray for the emperor. Does this also need your permission?"

The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay. It was not a secret that Concubine Li was a princess sent by a small border country to marry her. They were just a little curious that Concubine Li could also pray?

With this reason, Zhang Jin was able to leave the camp easily, and drove a chariot to chase in the direction Meng Yi left.

As for why you don't ride a horse in a chariot, of course it's for carrying water in buckets!

He and Li Fei came up with this weird reason together.

Believe it or not, it's just a reason anyway. With a legitimate reason, the soldiers guarding the gate will not dare to stop it!

In front of a flat and open land, Zhang Jin used the [Hot Wheels] skill to drive the chariot all the way, and the smoke and dust raised were like hundreds of cavalry traveling, and the momentum was astonishing!

The soldiers standing guard on the archery tower at the gate suddenly widened their eyes, with an expression of disbelief on their faces!

"Your mother, how did this chariot run so fast? It only blinked a few times, and it has disappeared at the end of the road!"
