Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Chapter 107 The brave man of Qin!
Everyone was a little surprised, and everyone looked confused, not understanding what Meng Tian meant.

Those present were all personal guards, and the personal guards were at least samurai, that is, minor nobles.

Nowadays, nobles must know books. In other words, knowing books is the standard for nobles.Even if he was just the head of Guizhou before, once he achieved military merit and was awarded a knighthood, and when he retired from the army, the government would send people to teach those with titles, including the so-called six arts of a gentleman.

After all, with a title comes a fief, which means that you become a small lord. The lord naturally needs to bear the responsibility of governance and security in his own territory. In addition, there are sacrifices, family inheritance, various etiquette, and even the communication of government announcements and orders.

There is very little pure knowledge these days, and most of it is practical.For example, "Yi" actually teaches everyone how to divination.

Therefore, all the guards actually know the book, but the only difference is that they know less or more.

But no matter how little he knew, he still had the knowledge of loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, and even how to be a noble.

Everyone can actually guess the meaning behind Meng Tian's actions.

Cut off your stock to serve you!

Cutting one's legs to serve the emperor is a very famous allusion, just like the so-called "24 Filial Piety" in later generations has become a truth that everyone knows. Whether they are literate or not, they regard it as a code of conduct for serving their parents. Cutting one's legs to serve the emperor is also Same.

During the Zhou Dynasty, when Chong'er, the prince of Jin State, fled into the territory of Wei State, Touxu stole all Chong'er's supplies and fled into the mountains.

Chong'er had no food and was hungry, so Jie Zitui cut off the meat from his thigh to feed Chong'er.

Chong'er was the famous Duke Wen of Jin, the second hegemon in the Spring and Autumn Period, and a virtuous king highly respected by the Qin Dynasty.And Jie Zitui was also revered as Jiezi by later generations. He was deeply remembered by the world for his "cutting off one's legs to serve the emperor".After his death, he was buried in Mianshan, Jiexiu.Duke Wen of Jin, Chong'er, felt deeply guilty, so he changed Mianshan Mountain to Jieshan Mountain and built a temple to offer sacrifices.

This is a story between two wise men. This kind of behavior was especially praised in the Qin and Han Dynasties, so it happened that the Orion killed his wife and took the meat to serve Cao Cao.

But no matter what, cutting one's legs to serve the emperor is still a ritual for a lower-status sage to express respect for a higher-status sage with one's own flesh and blood. After all, it originated from the ritual of human sacrifice in ancient times.

Moreover, blood actually has a higher meaning than meat. Zhou Shi even regarded blood as a sacred thing. When Zhou Shi signed a covenant, he needed to use blood as a covenant, that is, smearing blood on his mouth to represent the sanctity of the covenant.

And Meng Tian is the ninth minister of the country and a general. He actually performs such etiquette on his own bodyguards?real or fake?
Meng Tian could see everyone's hesitation at a glance, and he didn't bother to explain too much.

The class concept in the Qin Dynasty was indeed extremely strict. People with higher status almost took life and death from those with lower status. There was no such thing as equality.

Meng Tian naturally has no interest in challenging this system, but in his view, these hundreds of personal guards are all his robes. Now that everyone is dying together generously, why should there be any need to distinguish between Jiuqing and personal guards?

He spoke boldly: "In the past, you good men and women shed their blood for me on the battlefield and for the Qin Dynasty! In these turbulent years, we have never insulted the name of the warriors of the Qin people! Today, I will use my own flesh and blood to fight for the warriors of the Qin Dynasty!" Let’s drink together and enjoy the trip!”

Everyone was still in the surprise and looked at Meng Tian hesitantly.

After all, Meng Tian is the general and the nine ministers of the country!Cutting one's own flesh and blood to make a strong soldier? !

The general is always strict on weekdays, and even when he is about to go on an expedition, he is still serious. In common with everyone, he must not lose the Qin people's momentum.But today is the first time!

Meng Xi reacted first and burst into laughter.

Amidst the laughter, he grabbed the skin bag with one hand, his eyes were burning like fire, he scanned the crowd, and spoke boldly: "I once heard that two warriors met on the road in the past, and they talked happily, so they each cut off their bodies. Meat with wine.”

"When the wine is gone, the two warriors will also die. Everyone in the world calls the two warriors stupid, but I yearn for the courage and heroism of the two warriors, and I wish I could imitate them. Today, with General Zhuyu in front of me, I finally got what I wanted. , be a fool for once."

After saying this, Meng Xi also cut his wrist.

Blood gushed out. Mengxi brought the wound close to the mouth of the skin bag, and the blood flowed into the skin bag, making a slight sound.

Meng Xi casually strangled the wound with the sleeve of his robe, shook the skin bag, solemnly saluted Meng Tian and other guards, and then took a big sip!

After taking a sip of blood wine, Meng Xi's whole body began to turn red. He didn't know whether it was because of excitement or because the low-alcohol wine was so intoxicating.

"Ha! That's good!" He couldn't help but exclaimed.

"I drank countless blood in the Hetao area, and I never felt anything special."

"Unexpectedly, the blood of China's number one warrior is so violent. Drinking it is like swallowing charcoal!"

Everyone laughed loudly when they heard the sound. With Mengxi taking the lead, the others no longer hesitated at this time.

"Is it so effective? Take a sip with me quickly, so that I can borrow the courage of the general!"

"This is inevitable. The general is our No. 1 general of Great Qin, the best warrior in China, and the blood of the Huns. How can he compare with the general?"

"After today, the general will become the most powerful warrior in history! He single-handedly challenges the army of guardsmen, and his bravery and power will be sung throughout the world!"

"We will not let the blood of the general be shamed!"

Heroic voices sounded one after another, and a thunderous voice suddenly overwhelmed everyone.

"What you said is very true!"

It was Meng Xi who was roaring. He cupped his fists at Meng Tian and roared at everyone.

"The general is certainly a warrior, and so are you!"

"A warrior can do what others cannot do!"

"Of course the world doesn't understand why we did this. I think the Wei Army, Li Si, Zhao Gao and others must be laughing at our stupidity!"

"However, so what if it's really stupid?"

"The general is here, the young master Fusu is here, I am here, and so are you! We are not alone!"

Everyone's heart is in turmoil.

Yes, what everyone is doing now is indeed stupid.

The Weiwei Army was the personal army of the First Emperor. No matter what the circumstances, attacking the Weiwei Army was a capital offense.

Meng Tian must die, and even if the remaining hundreds of guards can survive on the battlefield, they will not be beheaded. However, it is inevitable that they will be deprived of their noble status and the whole family will be slaves.

Of course, it would be best to die in battle, as this would most likely result in his family being deposed as the head of Guizhou.

After all, although Qin's law was strict, it actually gave preferential treatment to nobles, and it also respected warriors very much.Even a small nobleman, as long as he died bravely in battle, even if he died in rebellion, his family would not be implicated.

But no matter what, since they followed Meng Tian and attacked the guard camp, they have already embarked on this road of no return.

Now, they are already traitors and enemies of the world!

This is the story of the brave man Qi Zhi.The Qi State was the number one hegemon in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, due to the five princes fighting for the throne, they ignored the corpses and attacked each other, resulting in a great loss of national power.

However, because of Guan Zhong's pro-commerce policy, the people of Qi became the richest among the princes in the world.

So for Qi Jun at that time, he had money, armor and weapons. As long as he recruited more warriors, he seemed to be the hegemon.

Therefore, the people of Qi highly respected warriors, and everyone was proud of their bravery.

Hence the story of the brave man of Qi, which was recorded in "Lu Shi Chun Qiu". As a noble of the Qin Dynasty, everyone has naturally read this book and knows this story.Langya is the land of Qi. It is true that the brave men of Qi are stupid, but now everyone is doing stupid things?

Moreover, the brave men of Qi have no regrets until death, so why should we have any regrets?

Meng Xi handed the leather bag in his hand to the next one and shouted angrily, "How can you say you have no clothes!"

"Why don't you say no clothes? The same robes as your son. Wang Yuxing's teacher, repair my spear. I share the same hatred with my son!"

"Don't say no clothes..."

Who said we have no clothes?Wear that robe with you.The king sends out troops to fight, repairs my sword and spear, and kills the enemy with the same target as you.

Who said we have no clothes?Wear that underwear with you.The king sends out troops to fight, repairs my spear and halberd, and sets out to be with you.

Who said we have no clothes?Wear that battle dress with you.The king sends out troops to fight, trims armor and swords, kills the enemy and advances with you.

All the soldiers sang Wu Yi with a generous voice, and the skin bags were taken from one hand after another. They all opened their wrists to let the blood flow to the skin bag, and drank a mouthful of blood and wine.The wine is strong and the blood is sweet.

As a man and a native of Qin, who is without courage?Who is afraid of death?
With the roaring waves and the rolling Yellow River, Qin will be able to unite the six kingdoms, drive out the Xiongnu, and die on the battlefield!
To be able to meet such a general and be able to do such an attack is enough for the soldiers!
The skin bag was passed around and fell into Meng Tian's hands again, with only half of it left.

He drank it all in one gulp and glanced around his personal guards.What are personal guards? They are all brothers who live and die together.

Meng Tian nodded in approval, "The blood of the world's warriors is truly courageous!"

He turned around, took the reins with one hand and got on the horse directly, galloping forward without looking back: "Go ahead, gentlemen!"

The personal guards who were left behind him all bowed to the ground, "Send off, General!"

His voice is generous, but there is a hint of whimpering at the end.

When Meng Tian disappeared, Meng Xi stood up from the ground.

Looking at the direction where the general left, his eyes were getting farther and farther away, and the back of the warrior could not be seen, and he did not wait for the return of those who left.

His eyes gradually moved to the south, and a group of troops could be vaguely seen in the distance heading in this direction.

Mengxi took a deep breath and said, "Gentlemen, mount your horses!"

A fierce battle is about to begin, and those who are good at fighting are bound to be in agitated mood.But today he felt a little heavy!

It was about time, and I thought that Young Master Fusu had already arrived at the fortress with his slave soldiers.That was the only way for the left army to rescue the rear army, and Fusu's trip was intended to intercept it.

Even though Fusu and his party were there, they still had to go.

Because Fusu and his party had no horses, they traveled very slowly.

And to get to this point, what I used was speed.The key this time is to use the speed of the cavalry to open up the defense.So that General Meng Tian would not be blocked by the left army and the right army.

Of course, the Guardsmen will not stay in the military camp and not go out. In fact, a military camp represents a defense zone.

Four military camps surround the Chinese military camp in the middle. No matter which side the enemy comes from, they can respond quickly.

And Meng Tian must arrive at the Chinese army camp!

Because there is another person in the Chinese army camp, and that is Wei Weijie who is loyal to the First Emperor!
When this plan was finalized, everyone's foreheads were covered in cold sweat.It sounds reliable, but my heart is beating a drum.

It's possible, but it's not feasible either.

Wei Weijie was loyal to His Majesty the First Emperor, and his loyalty was unshakable.This is a benefit to them!

There are people like Li Si and Zhao Gao in the Chinese army camp now. If the First Emperor has fallen asleep, these two people will definitely try their best to keep Meng Tian away.

No one can understand the meaning of Li Si's trip.But partisanship has always been the case, and Young Master Fusu is not a clique-y person. As long as there are some benefits, he will surely be able to impress the prime minister.

Although the young son Hu Hai couldn't explain why, he had a good teacher.

Although Zhao Gao had not been released from prison for a long time, his plan had already been clearly revealed.This person's eyes were vicious and he was good at choosing people who couldn't avoid it. I'm afraid he picked something that Li Si couldn't refuse.

But it is also strange. Both of them are very smart. How could they choose the youngest son Hu Hai as the second emperor of Qin?

They could not continue thinking because meeting the First Emperor was imminent.

Meng Tian has no friendship with Wei Jie, so if he breaks into Wei Wei's camp without permission, he will inevitably be surrounded and killed by the Wei Wei army.This is inevitable.

It doesn't matter, Meng Tian will indeed die.

But to Meng Tian himself, it is not important.

The important thing is that Wei Weijie will not leave the emperor, so even if he is stopped by the left army and the right army, Weiweijie is beyond his reach.

But this point also hit Meng Tian's heart.

Only by seeing that Wei Weijie would never leave the emperor no matter what, could we confirm his sincerity!Wei Weijie must not leave the First Emperor, so that the First Emperor's safety can be guaranteed.

Therefore, Meng Tian does not need the Wei Wei Jie Neng to let the Wei Wei Army pass through.All he needed to do was let the Weiwei know that Meng Tian had the elixir of immortality in his hand, and that the elixir had been delivered to the Chinese army camp.

At that time, Wei Weijie would definitely be moved, but thinking about what happened in the future, Weiweijie must be suspicious of many alchemists trying to deceive him.

By then, Meng Tian's bravery as he killed all the way was a proof.Meng Tian is the one who tests the medicine, and his brave performance will surely convince Wei Weijie.

Wei Weijie would most likely take a gamble and offer the elixir of immortality to His Majesty the First Emperor!

Their plan seems clever, but in fact every step is a gamble.

Another key point is Young Master Fusu.

The Guards Cavalry must attract everyone's attention and involve the defense.In fact, it was just to enable the young master Fusu to escape from Langya and rush to the Hetao when things became irreversible.

There are still 30 Great Wall troops in Hetao, enough to fight against the Weiwei army.

During the planning, General Meng Tian seemed to have calculated that he had no way out, and he did not leave any way out for himself.But he prepared a way for Prince Fusu.

Mengxi took a deep breath and looked at the fortress in the distance.They could not go with the general because they had more important tasks.

Even if he died in battle, it couldn't be because he was guarding the general. He was really frustrated.But the other party is Young Master Fusu, so death is worth it!

Now, he needs to be fast and attract all the troops as soon as possible.

Everyone can still die, but Young Master Fusu cannot die!
