Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Farewell

Meng Yi turned his head and saw the trembling arrow body, and saw Dexiang kneeling behind him, and Vice General Pang staggered into the big tent.De Xiang and Vice Admiral Pang stared at each other with tears in their eyes. Deputy General Pang walked slowly to Dexiang's side, dropped his bow and arrow, knelt beside her and asked, "I, I almost killed you! Do you know! Why are you doing this?" Meng Yi asked Dexiang: "Dexiang, this is the second time I saw you cry. The first time you cried, it was for your sisters. What is it for this time?" Dexiang said with tears in his eyes, "General, please forgive Dexiang!"

Meng Yi asked strangely: "What did you do wrong, why should I forgive you?" Dexiang couldn't help shedding tears, and knelt in front of Meng Yi: "General, I once swore to protect you with my life, but I am a Hun, and I swore to kill all enemies for the Huns since I was a child! Now, General Leading the army to fight against the Huns, but I... can't fulfill any of my oaths." Meng Yi couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he heard this, he looked at Vice General Pang, and Vice General Pang also burst into tears. Dexiang stopped crying, wiped away her tears, walked up to Meng Yi with a dagger in both hands, "Dexiang is at a loss, and will never be a person who breaks his oath, please help me, general, to end this should have ended long ago s life."

Meng Yi slowly caught the dagger. Lieutenant General Pang who was standing beside him shook his head desperately and grabbed Meng Yi's arm: "General Meng, you can't! You have to think twice!" Dexiang gently took Vice General Pang's hand, she stared at Vice General Pang and said, "General Pang, don't stop General Meng, this is Dexiang's wish." Deputy General Pang looked at Dexiang, his chest was heaving violently, he couldn't control it anymore, he stood up suddenly and stood in front of Dexiang, glared at Meng Yi and said: "I will never let anyone hurt Dexiang! Even if it is you , General Meng!"

"General Pang, Dexiang understands everything in your heart. I know that dying like this is the most cowardly and selfish decision, but please think about it for me. Tomorrow, I will see my relatives and my loved ones on the battlefield How sad it would be for me to kill each other. General Pang, I beg you, please forgive De Xiang for being selfish, just this once." Vice-General Pang turned around and knelt face to face with Dexiang. Dexiang held Vice-General Pang's face: "I came to Xianyang with hatred, and when I left, I could finally take my thoughts... I have nothing to ask for... Just please don't forget me, a Huns woman.

Deputy General Pang grabbed Dexiang's hand and nodded firmly and painfully.Dexiang smiled amidst the tears, and she stretched out her hand to wipe away Lieutenant General Pang's tears, "Then please send me away singing and laughing at my funeral!" Deputy General Pang nodded slowly.Dexiang turned around and said to Meng Yi: "General Meng, I have one last request. After I die, please follow the tradition of the Huns and bury me in water, so that I can return to the homeland of the Huns along the river." Meng Yi finally raised the dagger, De Xiang looked at Vice General Pang, his eyes were full of tenderness and nostalgia.Meng Yi waved his knife, Vice Admiral Pang and Dexiang both closed their eyes, Meng Yi raised the knife and dropped it, a section of Dexiang's hair fell to the ground.

Meng Yi picked up the hair and said: "There is a saying called cutting hair to replace the head. I will cut off your hair and use it to replace your head. You have already died for Meng Yi once and completed the contract between us." ,you're free." De Xiang turned to look at Vice General Pang, who showed joy on his face, and Meng Yi continued: "I can give you freedom, but I still can't stop the war. I want to fight for my country, and I can't stop you Fight for your country, but..." Meng Yi put the hands of Dexiang and Deputy General Pang together, and said: "I can give you a third way to go, the two of you leave this dispute together, run as far as possible, to find a free life .” He sighed and continued, “This is what I want but can’t get!”

Meng Yi left them in the tent, walked outside by himself, looked at the infinite starry sky, and prayed that they would choose the third way. Vice-General Pang and Dexiang held hands and stared at each other. Vice-General Pang tore off his clothes and bandaged her wrist wound.De Xiang hugged Vice General Pang tightly, and Vice General Pang opened his arms unnaturally, and slowly, he closed them and hugged De Xiang tightly. Meng Yi led two horses and poked the fire by the campfire.Lieutenant Pang and Dexiang walked up to him side by side, Meng Yi stood up hopefully, and handed the reins to them both.

Dexiang performed the most solemn etiquette to Meng Yi again, then flew on the horse and rode away. Meng Yi looked at Deputy General Pang with regret, and then turned his head to watch Dexiang leave: they still did not choose the third way in the end. Deputy General Pang looked at Dexiang's disappearing figure with infinite melancholy, Meng Yi patted him on the shoulder and asked him to send Dexiang off for the last time.Deputy General Pang got on his horse and chased Dexiang. Dexiang was in front, and Vice-General Pang was behind. The two horses kept a certain distance, pacing and walking in the desert.

The two kept walking slowly, and finally came to the boundary where the two armies confronted each other. When the first light of dawn appeared on the horizon—— Dexiang stopped the horse, pulled out the knife, threw it, and stuck it in the sand between the two of them. She told Vice General Pang not to send it away anymore. Dexiang took a deep look at Vice Admiral Pang, whipped his horse and left... Since Longxi Sansha received the task of investigating the wine and blackened silver ingots in the birthday banquet, he has been searching around to collect information, and finally has a result.They came to report to Zhao Gao: the wine served to the emperor at the banquet had a strange fragrance, and the silver was mixed with another fragrance besides this fragrance.They found out that the two kinds of poisons produced by Tu'an in the north were very strange, neither of which was poisonous if eaten alone, but if they were taken together, they would faint immediately, and seven days later, they would bleed to death from seven orifices.It was verified that the aroma of the wine and silver came from those two poisons.

Zhao Gao sent the Sansha of Longxi back. He looked at the jug and the silver ingots, pacing and thinking: "It seems that the person who poisoned him was very thoughtful. Clean and clean. Who could this be?" He continued to think: "This poison is only produced by Tuan, maybe it is Tuan who did it! Hehe, even if it has nothing to do with Tuan, you can take this opportunity to go Concubine Li pours dirty water on her body, as long as she is brought down, Meng Yi will lose his protective umbrella, so it will be much easier to deal with!" Zhao Gao summoned his subordinate Chen Yongli and whispered to him, Chen Yongli nodded frequently.

According to Zhao Gao's order, Chen Yongli began to secretly follow Yushu's nanny. The disguised queen and nurse were walking in the market, and Chen Yongli watched them not far away. Chen Yongli followed closely all the way, suddenly, a hand patted his shoulder, Chen Yongli looked back, it was a tall man wearing a bamboo hat, it was General Jin. In a secret room, Chen Yongli was thrown at the feet of the queen and the nanny, and General Jin stood aside.The nanny sternly asked who he was, and why did he follow them? Chen Yongli pretended that his master had something to say to the two Tu'an guests. The nanny asked further, and the subordinate officer "confessed truthfully": his master was Gao Jianli's old friend, and hated the Emperor Qin to the bone; now that Gao Jianli failed to assassinate the tyrant, his master wanted to unite like-minded people to complete the unfinished business. The queen shouted: "Assassination of the king is a crime of great treason, how can there be like-minded people in the world." Chen Yongli said: "You don't have to pretend. If you didn't have a plan, why did you come to Xianyang secretly? My master has already learned that on the day Mr. Gao was assassinated, you had already put two poisons into the emperor's wine and vegetables, trying to Killing the emperor with poison, unfortunately, the success fell short in the end." The three queens were all shocked when they heard that the other party actually knew such details. Chen Yongli said: "Because my master admires the courage and strategy of the three of you, he specially ordered me to contact you, and sincerely plan with you to assassinate Qin." After Chen Yongli was detained, General Jin advised the queen to be careful.The queen pondered and said: "Yu Shu can no longer count on it. Now we can only rely on ourselves. There are always risks, but if we are blindly afraid of risks, we will eventually achieve nothing." The queen arranged for General Jin to return to Tu'an, and mobilized experts to sneak into Xianyang secretly to cooperate with them in taking action.General Jin led the way. The queen sat alone in the room, thinking quietly... She walked out of the room and told the nurse that she decided to meet her. In the dead of night, the queen and the nurse went to meet the mysterious master. Chen Yongli stood in the courtyard, and beside him was a man wearing a long robe and a cloak covering his face, standing with his back facing outward.The nanny accompanied Queen Tuan into the courtyard, and Queen Tuan also covered her face with a cloak, and the two stopped when they approached. Chen Yongli said to Queen Tu'an: "Your Majesty, please be polite, this is my master!" Queen Tuan took off her cloak and said, "My palace has come to your appointment, so it's time for you to show your true colors." Unexpectedly, the man did not turn around. "The identity of my master is a secret matter, so it is inconvenient to meet with you two, please forgive me." Chen Yongli said. The nanny said angrily: "Why are you so unreasonable? Our queen is already here, why should he not show up? Then why are we talking about like-mindedness and collaborating in great things! Madam, let's go!" "You two, please stop! This matter of assassinating the Qin Dynasty is absolutely impossible without my master." Chen Yongli said. "I don't believe that without him, we wouldn't be able to accomplish this great event!" said the nanny angrily. Queen Tuan said: "Well, it's useless to talk to him, let's go!" Just as the two were about to turn around and leave, the masked man suddenly laughed sinisterly. "Hehe, don't rush away, you two! Don't you want to see my true face?" Queen Tuan and the nurse turned around when they heard the words, and saw the man slowly turn around and take off the cloak on his head. When Queen Tuan and the nurse saw this person, they immediately turned pale with fright. The man was clearly Qin. Emperor. Qin Huang said sternly: "If you leave Zhen, how can your plan to assassinate Qin be completed?" The nanny supported Queen Tuan, and retreated step by step with fear on her face. "The matter has been revealed, so let's fight!" Queen Tuan said righteously. "Yes!" The nanny shouted to the hands outside, "Do it!" General Jin came out with more than a dozen people. General Jin protected Queen Tuan, and the others rushed towards Emperor Qin with their weapons in hand.However, at this moment, many Qin soldiers with long spears suddenly crowded out from all directions. They surrounded Queen Tuan and the others, and the points of their spears almost touched their chests. Queen Tuan's face was livid, and General Jin stood in front of her and said, "I will fight with them!" Queen Tu'an whispered: "General Jin, only you can escape here! Go and report to Tu'an!" General Jin: "No, Madam, I am willing to live and die with Madam!" Queen Tuan: "Now is not the time to die! If you can save Yu'er, take her away!" When General Jin was hesitating, Queen Tuan said to him: "You don't want Yu'er to die too! Go!" General Jin gritted his teeth, yelled, swung his knife suddenly, jumped up, and rushed out. Zhao Gao accompanied Emperor Qin to Yushu's bedroom, and he was standing in front of Yushu with a sinister smile. "Your Majesty, don't pretend you don't know, your assassination of His Majesty has been revealed!" Yu Shu glared at Zhao Gao: "How dare you slander Ben Gong like that! I don't know Gao Jianli before, I just appreciate his music!" Qin Huang glanced at Yushu and said coldly: "Bring them in!" "yes!" After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he said to Yushu with a sneer, "Your Majesty, you can see clearly, don't say you don't know them!" The two were escorted in, and Yushu was shocked when she saw that it was her queen mother and nanny, so she rushed over. Yu Shu was shocked and said: "Mother, why are you here? Didn't you return to Tu'an? Please tell me, what happened?" Queen Tu'an looked at Yu Shu, her eyes suddenly became angry, she pushed Yu Shu away, pointed at her and reprimanded: "You also know that you have a queen mother, I thought you were enjoying yourself in Daqin, and you forgot about me!" "Why did the queen mother say that, how dare Yushu forget the queen mother!" Yushu said aggrievedly. "Hmph, what kind of queen am I! You won't do anything I ask you to do! If you had listened to me, you would have succeeded in assassinating Qin Qin!" Queen Tuan sighed, and then said, "If It's not that you have repeatedly refused my orders, and I don't have to threaten you with my forehead, and this time I don't have to take the risk and fall into their trap!" Yu Shu asked in surprise: "Mother, are you really..." "Actually, we have already started to take action. At the birthday banquet that day, half of the wine you and Qin Huang drank contained poison. If Gao Jianli hadn't broken in and disrupted the birthday banquet, you and Qin Huang would have eaten the other half. poison, and died together!" Yu Shu said in surprise, "Queen Mother, you...what did you say?" Qin Huang sneered and said: "You are also considered cruel, in order to assassinate me, even your own daughter will not be spared!" Queen Tuan sneered and said: "If you want to achieve great things, you have to pay a price! I think Your Majesty understands this truth better than me! If I succeed, I will be the one laughing. If I fail to kill you, I will die , that's the price, nothing to complain about." "Your Majesty, she actually uttered outrageous words. Why don't you hand them over to the minister, who will definitely punish her severely and speak out on behalf of your majesty!" Zhao Gao took the opportunity to say. "Your Majesty is the emperor through the ages, the supreme supreme, must have known that since ancient times, 'a general will not be humiliated', not to mention that I am the mother of a country! Since I have told the whole thing and have nothing to hide, Your Majesty should follow the ancient law and let me Die with dignity, instead of handing me over to a villain like Zhao Gao!" Queen Tuan knew that she would die, and she was ready at this time. Zhao Gao said angrily: "You dare to speak hard when you are about to die! Your Majesty, you must not let her go lightly!" "I am the lord of the world, how can I do something that is laughed at by the people of the world! Just follow the rules, give Queen Tuan poisoned wine, and the rest will be killed without mercy. As for Concubine Li, she really doesn't know about it, otherwise she wouldn't have to Appeared at the birthday banquet and drank medicinal wine with me. If she wanted to murder me, she would have already succeeded, which shows that she is still loyal to me." Qin Huang sighed and said, "Put her in the cold palace first, and later Make another plan." "No!" A smug smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Gao's mouth. The Xiongnu and Qin armies have arrived on the battlefield, and the two armies are facing each other, and the battle is about to begin.Meng Yi came to the heroes of Juxian Hall. He asked the soldiers to unshackle them and gave them weapons. All the heroes have long been disheartened, and they have stated that they will no longer contribute to Daqin. Seeing that everyone was extremely conflicted, Meng Yi said to them earnestly: "Brothers, as a member of the Juxian Hall, I was imprisoned and tortured like everyone else, and I was lucky enough to survive. I understand everyone's heart. Resentment. So... this time, I don't want you to fight for Daqin, I want you to fight for your own freedom, here, you can use your military exploits to win freedom for yourself." Everyone couldn't help being moved when they heard Meng Yi's words, and they discussed with each other in low voices. Meng Yi continued: "You are all my brothers. I brought you to the battlefield not to make you victims, but to give you a chance to survive and return to your family alive! So I beg you, hold Tighten your weapons, fight bravely, and survive!" The heroes were enraged by Meng Yi's words, and they all geared up and took up weapons. Meng Yi pulled out his long sword, and the Meng family army and the heroes raised their weapons together. Meng Yi shouted: "The whole army is attacking." After Meng Yi shouted, he tightened the reins in his hand, and rode his horse to bear the brunt and rushed to the enemy's formation, followed by the officers and soldiers, rushing towards the enemy's formation with great momentum. At this time, on the other side of the battlefield, Dexiang stood with her Huns. She tied the cloth strip that Vice General Pang had tied around her wrist to her wrist again, and then she and the tribe pulled out Out of the saber... The two armies rushed together, and during the hand-to-hand combat, the Meng family's army fought bravely to be the first, and the heroes of the Juxian Hall even fought to the death. Vice-General Pang fought hard in the crowd, while looking for Dexiang everywhere. Finally, Deputy General Pang and Dexiang saw each other, and they fought a bloody road to come to each other. They looked at each other, stopped the knives in their hands, blood slipped from their weapons drop by drop, and fell on the barren land. land. Deputy General Pang saw that Dexiang was still wearing the pair of earrings he had given him, and the hem of his clothes was still tied around his wrist, tears suddenly flowed from the corners of his eyes.Dexiang was also tearful at this time, and she saw Vice General Pang wearing the clothes she had sewed for him. They just looked at each other quietly. However, the soldiers next to them came over and broke the peace between them.The two of them swung their swords back to back, trying to block the swords of their compatriots from stabbing their lovers, but in the end they were rushed away by the red-eyed soldiers and separated. After the battle ended, Meng Yi and Vice General Pang inspected the battlefield together, and there were corpses everywhere. Meng Yi understands the feelings of Vice General Pang and everyone, and he does not want to make unnecessary sacrifices. Meng Yi said: "Since they won't retreat, let's retreat." The next morning, the Huns found that the Qin soldiers had completely disappeared. A huge wooden tiger stood in the open space in front of the two armies, surrounded by sacrificial food and wine jars. The Huns shouted that they had won. Dexiang put her hands together and thanked God, the war is over, she, Vice General Pang and many brothers can survive. The Huns brought food, wine jars and giant tigers into the city, and reveled in the square all night to celebrate their victory. Dexiang wandered alone at the top of the city, holding a wine jar, pouring himself a drink, calling the name of Vice General Pang while half drunk. The Huns were all drunk and passed out in the square. In the middle of the night, Juhu's stomach was opened from the inside, and Tian Chang led the Flying Tigers to file out from inside.With agility, they quickly rushed to the city gate and killed the guards. When they came to the top of the city and set off a firework signal, they saw Dexiang. The half-drunk Dexiang saw the familiar tiger pattern appearing in front of her, and woke up suddenly. Tian Chang pulled down his mask to salute her, and Dexiang also stood up, cupping his fists in return. Tian Zhang asked Dexiang to step aside and not to embarrass them, they didn't want to hurt their former instructors. Dexiang threw the wine jar to Tian Chang and said, "We have known each other for so long and haven't had a drink together yet!" Tian Chang took a sip from the wine jar, passed it to the brothers behind, and each took a sip.Dexiang finally took the wine jar, took a sip, smashed the wine jar, and pulled out the dagger decisively. Tian Zhang and the others saluted Dexiang again. Tian Zhang waved, and the Flying Tigers put on their masks and immediately formed an offensive formation.The two sides fought, and Dexiang's clothes were quickly scratched by the sharp blade. At this time, the Flying Tigers under the city opened the city gate, and the Meng family army swarmed in.Seeing this, Dexiang made a feint, jumped off the tower, and fought bravely into the Mengjia army. The hungover Huns got up and wanted to resist when they heard the cry of killing, but they couldn't even stand up. Only a few people resisted desperately with Dexiang, but they were swallowed up by the surging crowd. Deputy General Pang also entered the city. He looked for Dexiang everywhere, but he couldn't find Dexiang in the shadow of swords and fire. He shouted with all his strength, but he didn't answer... When Meng Yi came to the city gate, what he saw was a flash of swords and flames. A Hun rushed over wielding a big knife. Meng Yi swung the big knife and kicked him in the ribs. Under the heavy blow, he looked up and fell down.The soldier next to him stepped forward and stabbed him to death. Meng Yi was furious, grabbed the soldier, and raised his fist to beat him.The soldier was terrified and looked at Meng Yi in horror. Meng Yi watched the soldier's frightened expression and slowly lowered his fist. Vice-General Pang frantically searched for Dexiang in the chaos. Finally, he saw several soldiers besieging Dexiang. He rushed over with all his strength, but was stopped by the Huns. Finally, Vice-General Pang opened a bloody road and rushed to Dexiang, hearing his shout, Dexiang turned to look at Vice Admiral Pang, with a beautiful smile on her face, at the same time a spear pierced her chest from behind, her smile froze The blood gushed out from his chest, and Dexiang knelt down softly. Vice Admiral Pang rushed over like crazy, he hugged Dexiang, the smile was still on Dexiang's face, beautiful as a flower, sad like a dream. "Please don't leave me, don't..." Vice Admiral Pang said with tears streaming down his face. Dexiang gently hugged Lieutenant General Pang, tears rolled down her eyes, "I really regret...I really...really...don't want to leave you..." Dexiang closed his eyes with regret, and fell into the arms of Lieutenant Pang. Deputy General Pang held Dexiang's body without moving, the surroundings were still in chaos, tears flooded in his eyes... At dawn, Meng Yi inspected the battlefield. He saw countless Huns who had become slaves. They were strung together in a string and passed in front of him. A soldier picked up a whip and swung it at them. Meng Yi grabbed the whip and told He will treat these captives kindly. Tian Chang returned to him and praised Meng Yi for saving countless lives on both sides. Meng Yi sighed, he also created countless slaves.He asked Tian Chang: These people were deprived of the opportunity to die with honor by him and could only live in humiliation. Will they thank him or hate him more. Tian Chang hesitated, Meng Yi asked him to tell the truth, Tian Chang said bluntly: "If it were me, I would hate you even more." Meng Yi smiled wryly, no matter what he did, it was wrong, because this war was wrong in the first place.He tried to correct it in a delusional way, but he was just overwhelmed. Meng Yi and Tian Chang saw the last thing they wanted to see - Dexiang's body. Deputy General Pang walked up to Meng Yi with Dexiang's body in his arms. Tian Chang clasped his fists and bowed his head, saluting Dexiang for the last time. Deputy General Pang told Meng Yi that Dexiang once said that she would go down the river like a Hun warrior. They changed Dexiang into clean clothes and put them on the wooden raft. Meng Yi and Peng Chang led the Flying Tigers to see Dexiang off together. Deputy General Pang stretched out his hand and gently stroked Dexiang's face. He took off one of Dexiang's earrings, held it in his hand, and said to Dexiang in his heart: "I have a pair of these earrings, and I keep one. Take one, and we won't be unrecognizable when we meet in another world in the future. Vice Admiral Pang pushed hard, and the raft left the water's edge.Deputy General Pang, Meng Yi and the Flying Tigers watched her slowly drift away... Meng Yi returned to Xianyang with the Meng family army, and they were greeted grandly by Emperor Qin after their victory. Wearing a battle armor, Meng Yi walked up the steps of Xianyang Palace step by step. On the top of the steps, Emperor Qin personally led a group of officials waiting for him. Meng Yi walked up to Emperor Qin and knelt down on one knee on the steps.Emperor Qin asked Zhao Gao to recite the commendation edict aloud...
