Chapter 40 Chapter Forty

Early the next morning, the workers went to work on time, and suddenly heard someone calling for help. They searched and found two eunuchs lying on their backs in the mud pool. The mud had hardened, and they were trapped in the mud. Can't move. Everyone laughed when they saw them begging for help, and Cui Wenzi asked everyone to rescue the two of them.But at this time, the two had become two pottery figurines, wrapped in a thick layer of dry mud, and they were placed on the ground, unable to move. The two eunuchs begged Cui Wenzi to do good deeds to the end, break up the mud and get them out.

Cui Wenzi nodded and said, "This is what you said, let me break the mud for you!" The eunuch nodded hurriedly, Cui Wenzi waved, and the two brothers came over and gagged the eunuch.Cui Wenzi waved again, and more than a dozen brothers stood in front of the two eunuchs holding various sticks and tools.The eunuchs' eyes widened in fright, but they couldn't cry out. Cui Wenzi took a sip of wine with a smile and said, "Hurry up and help the eunuchs!" More than a dozen brothers waved their big sticks together, and for a while, clods of mud and dust flew all over the sky...

The militiamen recovered their health and started working again. The construction site was busy, and everyone in the shed was busy making terracotta warriors and horses.The two eunuchs could only lie on the bed and hum, with splints on their limbs.Yushu finally didn't have to work hard.After taking the medicine given by Cui Wenzi, she gradually became refreshed and radiant. Meng Yi bowed to Cui Wenzi, thanking him for his help, Cui Wenzi smiled: "You are the lord, and I am the young man of 'Juxiantang', of course I will answer the lord's request." The shout of "Leader" came from outside, Meng Yi walked out of the work shed, outside gathered a lot of brothers from the Juxian Hall, carrying various tools, they all got the news from Cui Wenzi, and learned that the construction period was delayed, so they came here specially The leader rushed to help out.

Meng Yi said gratefully: "Thank you, brothers! Meng Yi really doesn't know how to thank you." The brothers said: "Our lives are all saved by the leader. If the leader is in trouble, how can we not take action. The brothers here are all skilled craftsmen. If the leader has any difficult work, we will leave it to us!" Meng Yi rejoiced and said: "Great, there is a shortage of talents like you here, you all come with me!" With the assistance of Juxian cousins, the atmosphere at the work site was high and the progress of the project was greatly accelerated. The two eunuchs came to report to Zhao Gao that the servants had all recovered and the construction period was completed on time.When Zhao Gao heard this, he was so angry that he smashed several vases.

A strange light spot suddenly appeared in the dark blue night sky, and the light spot became brighter and brighter, like a bow and arrow that lost its direction and went straight to the ground. The grass and trees have been scorched, and the stones at the bottom of the pit have also become charred spherical rocks.A huge dark crystal is inserted obliquely at the bottom of the pit, and it is full of ancient symbols that are difficult to understand. Surrounding the pit were many spectators, all of whom were very interested in this extraterrestrial object. At this time, a group of Qin soldiers came to the edge of the pit and surrounded everyone and the pit.

The officer led a group of people into the big pit, and they struggled to pull out the rock that fell from the sky. When the rock was inadvertently in the direction of the south and the north, all the people and objects around were floating; Due south and north, all buoyancy disappeared immediately. Seeing this situation, all the people around were so nervous that they fell to their knees and kowtowed non-stop. Someone said: "This must be a star in the sky, we shouldn't take it away, we should put it back!" The officer said: "This is something to be sent to the palace, quickly carry it, and anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!"

The soldiers rushed the people away with their weapons, and the trembling people tied up Tianxing together with the soldiers. Tianxing was put into a large carriage and covered with a black cloth. Qin Huang's carriage arrived at the construction site, and Meng Yi brought officials to pick him up. Qin Huang pulled Meng Yi to the carriage behind, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers lifted off the black cloth that covered it. It was the first time Meng Yi saw such a dark sky star engraved with strange symbols. Emperor Qin ordered a few soldiers to stand beside Tianxing, and moved Tianxing to face south and north, only to see a few soldiers leap into the air and levitate.Moving the sky star again, the soldiers all fell down.

Qin Huang said proudly: "This star fell in Dongjun County. It is a gift from the sky. It rewards me for my great cause of unifying the world." "Your Majesty is right. Congratulations, Your Majesty..." Everyone said in catering. Qin Huang pulled Meng Yi to the sand table model of the imperial mausoleum, and pointed to the part of the underground palace. He asked Meng Yi to use this star to build a heavenly star palace in the underground palace, so that everything in it would float like a heaven, so that he could use this star to build a palace of heavenly stars in the underground palace. You can float in the heavens and live a fairy-like life.

Tianxing lay quietly on the platform, and Meng Yi led the craftsmen to surround him, but he couldn't find the gap above. A few craftsmen volunteered, took hammers and chisels and began to beat the star.They swung their hammers vigorously, and after a "clang", everyone froze, the sky star remained motionless, but the chisel broke in two and fell to the ground.The craftsmen were also dumbfounded. Meng Yi picked up the chisel, and one end of the chisel was covered with a little black debris.Cui Wenzi came over and carefully collected the debris into a small bottle. The craftsmen talked about what it was and why it was so hard. Not to mention completing the Tiangong on schedule, it was a question of whether they could chisel another piece!

Meng Yi was racking his brains on how to design the Tiangong, when Cui Wenzi arrived. Cui Wenzi told Meng Yi: One of his friends happened to be practicing nearby, and Cui Wenzi told Meng Yi about the situation of Tianxing, and said that he could help Meng Yi solve his troubles. Meng Yi was overjoyed and eager to meet, Cui Wenzi told: The other party is unwilling to come here, Meng Yi must go to the place where he practiced. Cui Wenzi brought Meng Yi to the entrance of a cave.The peculiar shape of the cave entrance left a deep impression on Meng Yi. Meng Yi never expected that there would be such a quiet cave near the imperial mausoleum, which had never been known to anyone.

Cui Wenzi told Meng Yi that this cave faces north, so his old friend called it Beiyan Cave, and he called himself a Beiyan Mountain native.As he gradually went deeper into the cave, Meng Yi found that there were many branches and vines in this Beiyan cave, and there was no one to lead the way. Even if someone broke in, he couldn't find the destination. Meng Yi carefully wrote down the route he walked. There is a spacious place at the end of the cave in Beiyan. Candles are lit on the natural stone table inside, and a picture is placed next to the pen, ink and inkstone. Cui Wenzi picked up the picture, the ink on it was still wet, obviously it had just been drawn. However, there was no trace of the people from Beiyan Mountain. There were only two sentences engraved on the wall at the bottom of the cave: Don't be a gentleman, sit and think about your mistakes, and you will have to break the wall. Cui Wenzi shook his head, it seemed that the other party didn't want to meet Meng Yi, and it was useless to find this place. The two looked at the picture together, and it turned out to be a structural drawing of the Tiangong. It first stated a warning: There are double mechanisms to prevent thieves in the Tiangong. If the door closing mechanism is activated, the Tiangong cannot be opened by manpower; If the treasures of the town are taken from the Heavenly Palace, the anti-theft mechanism will collapse the Heavenly Palace and destroy everything. Meng Yi was a little amused: "This Beiyan mountain man is really interesting. Instead of talking about how to build the Heavenly Palace, he first talked about the mechanisms to prevent thieves." Cui Wenzi: "There must be a reason for him to do so. Since he is so solemn, we might as well keep it in our hearts." After coming out of Beiyan cave, Cui Wenzi and Xiao Chuan sat down for a drink. Cui Wenzi told Meng Yi that he was about to set off again. As a doctor, there would always be someone waiting for him to heal. He packed up his luggage, put on the jug, and bid farewell to Meng Yi.Now that everything here has been successfully completed, he has finished what he should do, and will continue to travel around to prepare new medicines. At the same time, he is very happy to tell Meng Yi that this time, he has collected an unusual medicine. There is a strange medicine that he has dreamed of for many years is really about to be developed! Cui Wenzi left, Meng Yi watched him go away, thinking about when we will meet next time, his eyes were wet... The first batch of terracotta figurines was finally fired successfully. Meng Yi checked, the first one was Meng Tian's terracotta figurines, and the second one he found was his own, lifelike.Meng Yi asked who did it, no one knew, Meng Yi immediately understood, he looked at Yu Shu, only to see Yu Shu nodded slightly with a smile, Meng Yi also smiled. At this time, Zhao Gao's loud laughter suddenly came from a distance. "Master Meng, Princess Yushu, I have come here to share with you the great news. Li You led the Meng family army to attack, and returned with great victories. He beheaded 30,000 people and made Tu'an completely surrender. This is all taught by Meng Yi." The Meng family army is invincible! King Tuan has sent envoys to submit the letter of surrender." After hearing this, Yushu's smile disappeared immediately, and Meng Yi gritted his teeth. Zhao Gao turned around and was about to leave, but stopped after taking two steps, turned around and pretended to be unintentional, and said to Yushu, "By the way, this King Tu'an is the new king." Yu Shu became anxious when he heard this, and rushed over to ask: "What's wrong with my father?" Zhao Gao sneered and said, "Your father must have met your mother by now, and they are waiting for you over there." "Father..." Yu Shu fainted on the ground under the heartache. Above the palace hall, Tu'an's envoy handed over the letter of surrender to Zhao Gao, who was General Jin. Zhao Gao presented the letter of surrender to Emperor Qin, and Emperor Qin laughed and said, "If I knew it now, why bother, the small country of Tu'an confronted my Great Qin at the beginning, it was like a mans arm against a car." General Jin swallowed his anger and retreated, his fists clenched tightly. After coming out of the hall, General Jin found Meng Yi, who supervised the construction of the terracotta warriors. Seeing General Jin standing in front of him, Meng Yi had mixed feelings, and the two hugged each other like brothers.General Jin sighed: "Xiao Chuan, who was once a prisoner, has now become the famous Meng Yi. It is really unexpected!" Meng Yi said: "Fortunately, I quit the army, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with Tuan's army and you." "Thousands of years have changed. Tu'an has changed dynasties. The old king and Queen Tu'an have passed away. This time I really want to see Princess Yushu, but she is nowhere to be found." Meng Yi pondered for a long time, General Jin saw Meng Yi's expression changed, and asked anxiously: "Could something happen to the princess? Take me to see the princess quickly." Meng Yi had no choice but to take General Jin to see Yushu.In the work shed of the terracotta warriors, General Jin saw Yushu being forced to do hard work by two eunuchs. General Jin was furious and wanted to rush to beat the two eunuchs for Yushu.Meng Yi dragged General Jin to a secluded place and told him that Yu Shu was now being punished to work hard because of the Tu'an Rebellion. Meng Yi said to General Jin with great self-blame that he hated that he could not help Yu Shu now, and he begged General Jin to repeat the hijacking operation back then and quietly bring Yu Shu back to Tu'an.General Jin agreed to Meng Yi without hesitation. At night, Meng Yi asked everyone to go to the construction site to catch up with work, and took everyone away from the work shed where they stayed. General Jin secretly drugged the eunuchs' diet, and the eunuchs fell into a deep sleep.General Jin sneaked into the shed, picked up Yushu who was sleeping, put him on the carriage, and disappeared into the night.The jolt of the carriage woke Yu Shu from a coma, and she found herself leaving the construction site, calling out in panic, "Stop, stop!" The carriage stopped slowly, and General Jin entered the carriage. Yu Shu was taken aback and asked, "What's going on here?" General Jin said to Yushu: "The final general will now take the princess away from this place and return to Tu'an to restore the princess' dignity." Yu Shu lowered his face and said, "General Jin, can you please turn the car around and take me back?" General Jin asked in surprise: "You are a noble princess, can you bear that kind of suffering?" Yushu said to General Jin: "I just want to be by Meng Yi's side. Now that my father and mother are no longer alive, Meng Yi has become my only family member. Although the life on the construction site is very hard, but with Meng Yi , I can feel hope. Going back to Tuan, even living the life of a princess, in my opinion, is more painful than being a slave." General Jin was so angry that he punched the carriage: "It's Meng Yi again!" Yu Shu said with tears: "I admit that I caused all this, and I will bear these crimes alone." General Jin looked at Yushu crying, and suddenly took Yushu's hand and said, "Princess, please don't blame yourself so much. Seeing you cry makes the general feel very sad. I know the princess much earlier than Meng Yi." , I have loved the princess deeply for so many years, without any regrets, I beg the princess to give me a chance." Yu Shu withdrew his hand and said, "I'm very sorry that I can't agree to General Jin's request, because I will only love one person in this life, no matter his name is Meng Yi or Xiao Chuan." "Now I don't see you as a princess, but as my lover. I can't stand the person I love being treated like this. Whether you hate me or not, I will take you away!" General Jin ignored Yu At the request of Shu, he continued to order the carriage to move forward.At this time, the wailing of swans came from the night sky. Yushu pointed to the swan and said to General Jin, "Look, General Jin! This is a lonely swan calling for its mate. A swan has only one mate in its life. If it loses its mate, it will keep whining like this and die. Now I am like a swan that has lost its partner. If General Jin takes me away, he will see me die slowly while crying." General Jin was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Princess, please remember! I am willing to do everything for the princess. Things, I don't need the princess in return, just for the princess to be happy." After speaking, he finally turned the carriage around. Next to the sand table of the Imperial Mausoleum are the pottery figurines of Meng Tian and Meng Yi. Meng Yi looked at his own pottery statues carefully, and said to the pottery figurines, "Are you Meng Yi or Yi Xiaochuan? Stay here? What is there to be nostalgic for here? Is it for the vanity of creating a miracle in the imperial mausoleum?" Meng Yi pulled out his long sword and slashed at his terracotta figurine. The long sword was swung away by a flying sword in the air. The sword was inserted into the pillar. Meng Yi recognized at a glance that the sword was General Jin's saber. Meng Yi was shocked, turned his head to look, and saw General Jin walked into the room with Yushu supported.General Jin sent Yushu to Meng Yi, pushed her into Meng Yi's arms, and said, "If you feel sorry for her, I will be the first to let you go!" Before Meng Yi could speak, General Jin drew out his sword and left without looking back.Meng Yi and Yu Shu hugged each other tightly, and Meng Yi said to Yu Shu: "Yu Shu, I just figured it out, Daqin doesn't need Meng Yi anymore, Xiao Chuan should be back." Yu Shu happily stroked Meng Yi's face and said: "Xiao Chuan has finally come back completely, and my hard waiting has finally come to fruition. Now Tu'an no longer needs Princess Yushu, and I can also be relieved." Meng Yi said happily: "We can go back to Xiaochuan and Yushu in the past again. Let's run away. It's right and wrong to leave here. Yushu, please bear with me a little longer. When the terracotta warriors and horses are finished, we will go find them." Our happiness!" The terracotta warriors and horses were finally completed. The craftsmen took Meng Yi to inspect the finished terracotta warriors and horses. Sure enough, all of them were magnificent and of excellent quality. Meng Yi was very satisfied.When passing by Yushu, Meng Yi quietly gave Yushu a hint that they will escape here tonight. Yu Shu is very happy, she will soon live the life she longs for with the person she loves.She packed her things early and waited for the evening to come. Meng Yi returned to the Meng Mansion to pack up his belongings and was about to leave when suddenly a eunuch came with a secret order from Emperor Qin, and he ordered Meng Yi to accept the order immediately.
