Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Expedition

After leaving Xiao Chuan, Yu Shu returned to the bedroom, unexpectedly, Queen Tu'an and General Jin were waiting for her there.Queen Tuan turned pale and glared at Yushu, who immediately understood what had happened. Queen Tuan said angrily: "I ask you, where is that assassin now?" "I handed him over to Zhao Gao." Yu Shu whispered. "Let me ask you again, why didn't you go to see Emperor Qin, and why did Zhao Gao suddenly die down? Why did you do all this?" "It's all in exchange for Xiao Chuan. If there is more to exchange for him, I will do it." Yu Shu said firmly.

Queen Tuan froze there for a moment, tears flowed from her eyes, and General Jin beside her couldn't help clenching her fists when she heard it. "Just for one person, you actually left the fate of the whole Tu'an behind? Yu Shu, you forgot the entrustment of your father and mother, you forgot the responsibilities on your shoulders, you forgot the people of Tu'an, you Forgot even that I was a Tuan!" "No, I never forgot!" "Then let me ask you, Tuan and Yi Xiaochuan, which one do you put first?" Seeing that Yushu was silent, Queen Tuan said: "Okay, since you can't cut off the love by yourself, let me, a mother, do it." She stood up suddenly, and said to General Jin: "Jin General! I order you to bring Yi Xiaochuan's head within three days."

General Jin couldn't help being taken aback when he heard that, although he and Xiao Chuan both liked Yushu, they were not enemies, they could even be said to be friends, when Queen Tuan ordered to kill Xiao Chuan, he didn't know how to answer for a while. Yu Shu said firmly: "If he is hurt, then I will die in front of you immediately!" Queen Tuan was trembling with anger: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it! This is the pride of the Kingdom of Tuan, and this is the good daughter I trained. In this case, I have no face to go back to Tuan, and I have no face to see you again. Tuan's father is dead!"

After Queen Tu'an finished speaking, she suddenly bumped into the corner of the table. General Jin and Yu Shu were caught off guard, and rushed towards Queen Tu'an in desperation, but it was still a step too late, and Queen Tu'an fell into a pool of blood. "Mother's queen, mother's queen!" Yu Shu was so frightened that he lost his mind. Queen Tu'an was bleeding all over her face at this time, gasping for breath: "Yu'er, have you ever thought that I did this not for myself, but for you, and for Tu'an! If you still recognize me as a mother, if you If you still regard yourself as a Tu'an person, promise me that you will never forget Yi Xiaochuan, forget Yi Xiaochuan!"

"Princess, this is all for your sake! Do you just have the heart to watch your mother die of anger?" General Jin said anxiously.Yushu looked at the blood flowing from the back of her mother's head, and felt as sad as a drop of blood. Xiao Chuan not only saved his life, but also gave him the most beautiful love. This love has gone through many twists and turns, so precious; but, On the other side is his mother and queen!Yu Shu's tears kept streaming out, her heart seemed to be bitten by a wild beast, she was in great pain, she took a deep breath, and finally said: "Mother, Yu Shu promised you!"

After Xiao Chuan heard that Meng Tian was assassinated, he hurried to visit. At this time, Meng Tian had just woke up from a coma and was weak.Xiao Chuan stared blankly at the haggard Meng Tian, ​​and suddenly thought of the scene when they met for the first time. At that time, the two fought for Yushu first, and then jumped off the cliff at the same time to save Yushu. Meng Tian asked Xiao Chuan what he was thinking?Xiao Chuan replied: "Look at you, although you are a generation of famous generals who call the wind and rain, but like me, ordinary people, they are often precarious. I am really tired of this era of killing or being killed, so I am glad that I finally don't have to be an official. You don't have to think about any responsibilities anymore, you can live a mediocre life..."

At this time, the imperial doctor sent by Emperor Qin to diagnose and treat Meng Tian arrived, Xiao Chuan assisted him to check Meng Tian's wound, and asked, "How long will it take to pull out the poison from him?" The imperial doctor was hesitant, Meng Tian told him to speak directly.The imperial doctor said: "The poison that General Meng suffered was a mixture of two kinds of poisons. One is a strong poison. Fortunately, the general's physique is beyond ordinary people, and with the help of medicine, he has survived; but the other is ecstasy. There is no cure for the chronic poison that erodes bones. It is slowly eroding internal organs, so the general's health is getting worse!" The imperial doctor pointed to the black line extending from Meng Tian's arm and said, "When this black line reaches When the heart is broken, the general will..."

Xiao Chuan shook his head and said, "I don't believe it! There must be a way to cure it! Cui Wenzi must have a way, I'll go find him!" Xiao Chuan turned around to leave, but Meng Tian stopped him: "Xiao Chuan, I have something to tell you! Help me up—" Xiao Chuan helped Meng Tian up, and Meng Tian said to Xiao Chuan: "Xiao Chuan, sit down! In fact, you and I both know that this poison cannot be removed. It is only a matter of time before I die, but before I die, I must find it. The heir of the Meng family!" "General Meng, are you talking about me? I've said it all, I'm not your brother Meng Yi."

"Whether you admit it or not, in my heart, you are already my brother. Do you know what I am most afraid of?" "You are not afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of?" "When I die, Zhao Gao and Li Si will monopolize the power. At that time, Daqin will definitely be in danger. The best solution now is to find someone who is equal to them and very reliable. After I die, I can continue to check and balance them in the court. ! Xiao Chuan, I think you are the most suitable." Xiao Chuan said dumbfoundedly: "I'm afraid you've misjudged it. I can't beat them. Look, I failed to save Juxian Hall, and I was imprisoned. Now I'm just a grassroots."

"That's because you are not associated with a powerful force. The reason why they can't fight me in the court is because I have military power, because there are 300,000 Mengjia troops loyal to me! You just need to use my brother—" ——Meng Yi’s identity takes over the Meng Family Army, and they will have nothing to do with you.” Meng Tian looked at Xiao Chuan and continued, “Xiao Chuan, I can only rest assured that the Meng Family Army is handed over to you, otherwise I will die with regret.” Xiao Chuan turned his head and said, "No, I don't want to be involved in the vortex of power struggle again. I just want to be an ordinary person and only be responsible to my beloved."

Meng Tian said sharply: "Xiao Chuan, in this world, responsibility is always more important than emotion. Responsibility is not only related to oneself, but also the life and death of others, and the survival of the country. I know you still miss Princess Yushu in your heart, but look She, for the sake of responsibility, she has already given up her freedom and emotion." "I'm different from you. I come from another world, where human nature, self-centeredness, love is precious, and freedom is paramount. I will not become the person you expect, nor will I be the person you can entrust responsibility to." Xiao Chuan turned his head away and stopped looking at Meng Tian.Meng Tian couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and didn't force him anymore, but asked his subordinates to lead out ten pretty Hun women, and then said to Xiao Chuan: "These are all Hun women who were captured, you can choose whatever you want, and I will send them to you." A gift for you." Xiao Chuan didn't even look at these Xiongnu women, and said, "I don't have the habit of treating people as gifts, so I won't accept them." "Think about it carefully." The soldiers held down these Hun women and made them kneel on the ground. One of the beautiful women refused to kneel no matter how much the soldiers pressed her. The officer came and slapped her a few times. , the woman was beaten until the corner of her mouth bled, but she still stood up again and stared at the officer fiercely.The officer kicked the woman on the body, and she staggered and almost fell. After standing still, she still stared at the officer fiercely.The officer stretched out his hand to swipe at her face again. At this moment, Xiao Chuan couldn't bear to look any longer, and shouted at the officer, "Stop! I want her!" Back in his room, Xiao Chuan found that the woman had been tied up and thrown on the bed. Xiao Chuan untied the rope for her, but as soon as she was released, the woman jumped up and pulled out the dagger hanging on the wall to shield her body. Before, looking tense. Xiao Chuan quickly explained that he had no other intentions, but wanted her here only because he wanted to save her. When the woman heard this, her expression suddenly changed from nervous to angry, and she threw herself at Xiao Chuan with a dagger. Xiao Chuan locked the woman's hands behind his back and snatched the dagger just by meeting her face.Xiao Chuan asked angrily: "I saved you, why did you come to kill me instead?" The woman went from being angry to crying bitterly again, and she collapsed and wept and asked, "You...why don't you bring all the sisters?" Xiao Chuan said: "I'm not used to giving people, especially girls, as gifts. I've violated the principle by accepting one from you. How dare I want ten!" "But they will all be executed by Ling Chi, and only the ones you pick will survive!" The woman was already sobbing. Xiao Chuan was taken aback when he heard that, he left the crying Hun woman and rushed out the door. Xiao Chuan hurried to Meng Mansion and ran into the house, only to see Meng Tian reading a book peacefully. "Please spare the other nine Hun women." Meng Tian said indifferently: "These nine women didn't have to die. If you took over the Meng family army, you could replace me as the one who decides their fate. But because of your selfishness and cowardice, they paid the price with their lives." Xiao Chuan said anxiously: "The disputes and decisions between us are none of other people's business! Let them go!" Meng Tian smiled, pointed to a large pile of bamboo slips on the table, and said: "These are the lists sent from the government. Those who will be executed in various ways, and some will be cut off their hands and feet, and their families will be exiled. The ten This woman is just the tip of the iceberg, you can't save it all by yourself." "Saving my heart will give me peace of mind, please help me!" Meng Tian didn't want to listen to Xiao Chuan's words anymore, and shouted loudly: "Today I fulfill you, it's very easy. In the future, the twenty million people of Great Qin will be on other people's swords, who are you going to ask for fulfillment?" "It's different..." "Stop talking, come on, pull him out!" Xiao Chuan wanted to say something, but two soldiers forced him out of the door, Xiao Chuan was helpless, his life was at stake, so he gritted his teeth and knelt down at the door. It started to rain, Xiaochuan still refused to leave, Meng Tian glanced at Xiaochuan inside the door, and sighed helplessly.All night, it rained cats and dogs, and Xiao Chuan knelt in the rainy night all night. At dawn, the rain finally stopped, but Xiao Chuan fell headlong and passed out. When Xiao Chuan woke up from the coma, he found that he was already at home, and the Hun woman was wiping his forehead for him. Xiao Chuan sat up slowly from the bed, looked at the woman, and said sadly: "I'm sorry, I can't help you. your sister." The woman glanced at Xiao Chuan, and tears welled up in her eyes. She suddenly knelt down and said, "Sir, please accept Dexiang's worship. Because of your request, my sisters were directly beheaded and spared Ling Chi's pain. Mr. Dexiang cannot repay her kindness in this life, and I am willing to dedicate everything to my husband!" Xiao Chuan glanced at Dexiang, looked up to the sky and sighed: "What kind of era is this, and it is something to be grateful for to be able to die happily." Dexiang: "Sir, what are you talking about?" "It's nothing... Your name is Dexiang, right?" "yes." Xiaochuan: "Dexiang, a very good name, the fragrance of the virtuous, but it's a pity that it's splashed with blood... You shouldn't come here, you should gallop with your sisters on the endless grassland, away from these life and death .” Dexiang: "For the sake of our people, we are willing. Since I was born as a Hun, I will die for the Hun!" Ogawa: "Dexiang, do you believe it? After a long, long time, the world will not use war to solve problems, nor will life and death be used to measure a person's value." Dexiang thought about it carefully, and said seriously: "Maybe there will be such a day, but this is not the case now!" Qin Huang received the news of the invasion of Rongdi from the north, and Meng Tian was the one to lead the army, but now he is still seriously ill.The Emperor Qin asked Li Si and Zhao Gao to recommend generals to lead the troops, but they had no idea, and the ministers were also at a loss what to do.Qin Huang was furious, and shouted at all the ministers: "Usually you are eloquent, why don't you speak now?" When all the ministers were silent, Meng Tian dragged his sick body and insisted on walking into the hall alone.He bowed down to Emperor Qin, and said: "I heard that the Rongdi in the north are attacking Daqin again, so I would like to invite your majesty, and I am willing to lead the army to drive north to expel the bandits!" Qin Huang was very moved, he went down from the temple, helped Meng Tian up, and said: "Meng Aiqing is able to take care of my needs, she really is a pillar of the country!" "Being loyal to His Majesty and doing our best for Great Qin is exactly what I want! It's just that I have an unfeeling request. I ask Your Majesty to issue an imperial decree to appoint Yi Xiaochuan, the former Imperial Palace Guard General, as my deputy." Qin Huang said without hesitation: "Zuzao!" Seeing that Emperor Qin immediately approved Meng Tian's request, Li Si and Zhao Gao looked at each other, and their expressions changed suddenly. Meng Tian was carried by someone, found Xiao Chuan, and read out the imperial decree to him. After receiving the imperial decree, Xiao Chuan stood up and said unconvinced: "This time you used the imperial decree to force me to go with you." "I didn't force you before, I was waiting for you to wake up. But now, I don't have time to wait anymore. My body is getting worse day by day. I can only force you to experience the real war .” Soon, Meng Tian's army led by Meng Tian was about to set off. Meng Tian endured the pain and put on his armor. Xiao Chuan and Deputy General Pang were heartbroken and advised him to attend in casual clothes.Meng Tian shook his head and said: "Today is the day of the expedition. The morale of the army must be stabilized and the morale must be stimulated. How can the commander look like he is dying. Moreover, the enemy's spies must be watching the arrogance of the commander and the army in the dark. Let the enemy be terrified!" Xiao Chuan looked at Meng Tian, ​​and couldn't help being in awe, Meng Tian patted Xiao Chuan on the shoulder and said, "This is the truth you have to learn." Meng Tian puts on his helmet and crown, and walks up to Dianjiangtai full of energy. Deputy General Pang and Xiao Chuan guard Meng Tian from left to right. At this time, Zhao Gao arrives with a group of followers. In contrast, the eyes of the two people are very complicated. Meng Tian said: "The army is going north today, why is Mr. Zhao here? Could it be that he also wants to go on an expedition with the army?" Zhao Gao said with a smile: "General Meng, this is given to you by His Majesty." Then he presented a package with both hands. Meng Tian opened it and saw a horsewhip inside, Zhao Gao said: "Your Majesty, I hope that the general will lead the soldiers to raise the whip vigorously, and success will come soon." Meng Tian picked up the whip and said to Zhao Gao: "Meng Tian will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations." After Meng Tian finished speaking, he walked to the stage of the parade ground and said to all the soldiers: "Soldiers of the Meng family army, we are going to fight again today, and people will definitely die in the battle. Some of you must not be able to return here. But I I know that every soldier of the Meng Family Army is a hero when he lives, and a martyr when he dies! What is the soul of our Meng Family Army!" All the Meng family army raised their arms and shouted: "Loyalty and bravery, bravely pass on the soul! Loyalty and righteousness, bravely pass on the soul! Loyalty and righteousness, bravely pass on the soul!" The voice of the Meng family army shook the sky, and for a while, the mountains roared and the tsunami raged, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted. Zhao Gao, who was next to him, was frightened and sat on the chair next to him. The momentum of the family army was secretly shocked. Meng Tian held up the command flag and shouted: "The whole army set off!" The mighty Mengjia army set off, Xiao Chuan looked back from time to time, he still missed Yu Shu in his heart, he knew in his heart that if he went to fight Rong Di, he might not come back alive, if Yu Shu knew, it would only make her more sad. Ever since he saw the majesty of Meng's army, Zhao Gao quickly found Li Si and began to make up their minds. They planned to eliminate Meng Tian completely, otherwise as long as Meng Tian was around, their status would be threatened all the time.Zhao Gao suddenly remembered that there were people from Rongdi in his Loyalty Hall, and Zhao Gao decided to let them exchange news, set up a trap, and cooperate with each other to get rid of Meng Tian and the Meng family army by the way, so that he can monopolize The wish of the government will come true! Queen Tuan went back to the country to recuperate her injuries, and Yu Shu returned to the bedroom. Now she became depressed all day long, and she still missed Xiao Chuan in her heart, but she promised her mother that she would never see Xiao Chuan again. Just as Yushu was thinking wildly, Xiaoyue rushed in, and she said out of breath, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, General Yi followed General Meng to fight against Rongdi, and we will send troops to leave Xianyang today!" When Yu Shu heard this, she stood up suddenly in surprise, she was so worried about Xiao Chuan in her heart, but now she couldn't do anything for him. "I told you I won't see him!" Yu Shu said sadly. "Niangniang, if you don't see him, it's not like you can't miss him." Xiaoyue said tentatively. "No, I just can't think about it!" "Okay, we don't see him, we don't miss him, but we can pray for them, it's okay." Yushu suddenly raised his head, looked at Xiaoyue, and said, "Xiaoyue, you are right!" An incense table was set up in the garden, Xiaoyue and Yushu knelt down together, they closed their eyes, and said silently in their hearts: "Xiaochuan, may you return safely!"
