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

Chapter 28 The Heaven and Earth Shake, and the Saint Comes Out?

Meng Tian is not a fool.

Meng Tian himself was not sure whether the stranger in the mountain was really a god.

He was also not a credulous person. Although there were hordes of beasts in the valley listening to the young man preaching, he was able to command the beasts already there.

Apart from this, he did not see any other means of immortality.

But the other party can command so many birds and beasts, and there is such a huge alchemy furnace...

Asking himself, Meng Tian believed that if there was really someone in this world who could refine the elixir of immortality for the First Emperor, it would be this strange person!

Even if he can't refine it now, won't he be able to refine it in the future?

When Your Majesty met the First Emperor before, he found that the First Emperor was in a rage and did not trust anyone.

Even though he was a confidant of the First Emperor, if he insisted that there were gods in Yunmeng Mountain, the First Emperor would be furious, and he might be beheaded on the spot!

However, the young master Fusu is different.The First Emperor didn't like Fusu any more, Fusu was always his eldest son, so he wouldn't cut it off directly.

Of course he would suspect that Fusu was also deceiving him, but at the same time, he would also think, is this true?Yunmeng Mountain, maybe there really are gods?

Therefore, he has been trying to persuade Fusu to seriously go with him.

However, Fusu was determined and vowed to regain the trust of the people for the First Emperor.

Meng Tian looked at Fusu with piercing eyes, what he was entangled with was not at all the question of what that Lei was.

The thunderbolt is the so-called thunderbolt from the blue.

A thunderbolt from a clear sky is indeed rare, but if it is said that the huge thundercloud just now is the so-called drought thunder, that is also untenable.

Can drought thunder have such power that an entire mountain seems to be knocked down by one lightning strike?
Fusu insisted that there were no strangers on Yunmeng Mountain, let alone gods.

But what about this thunder?
You must know that the ancients believed in celestial phenomena, and it was often said that there must be reasons for celestial phenomena.

Or heavy treasures, or saints!
Fusu glanced at Meng Tian, ​​he knew exactly what Meng Tian was thinking.

To tell the truth, he also felt that the thunder just now was really unusual, and there was indeed a saying in the ancient book that the heaven and the earth moved, and the sage said it.

Could it be that what Meng Tian met that day was really some kind of god or celestial being?He couldn't help but speculate in his heart.

But the next moment, he couldn't help but laugh.

Have there ever been any gods or gods in this world?The so-called legends are all attachments.

The so-called, the child is silent and strange!

He knew that his answer was untrustworthy, so a dark-faced general rode up not far away. He said politely: "Has the former general ever seen this thunder in Qidi?"

"No." The black-faced general, known as the former general, reined in his horse and replied coldly.

"General, Young Master," he handed over his hand in a humble manner, "We have been here for a long time, do you want to lead the troops and set off?"

There was a faint look of anger on Meng Tian's face. He was the commander-in-chief of the First Army, and this so-called former general was so rude!
Fu Su sighed and shook his head slightly at Meng Tian to persuade him.

This so-called former general was the captain, Wang Ping, who was sent by the First Emperor to Fu Su and Meng Tian!
Wang Ping is Wang Jian's youngest son and Wang Ben's younger brother.After Wang Jian, Wang Ben and his son destroyed Qi in one fell swoop and unified the six kingdoms, they retired and lived in seclusion in Qi.

The first emperor rewarded the merits of the two men, so he summoned Wang Ping to enter the court and attacked Marquis Wutong.Because of the abolition of enfeoffment in the Great Qin Dynasty, he was called a former general by his official title.

Wang Ping was taciturn by nature, and he showed no false colors to anyone. Emperor Shi Huang praised him many times, calling him dumbfounded.

It is a very high compliment to be as dumb as a chicken. The so-called Taishan collapses in front of you and does not change color, that is, you are as immovable as a mountain!
The demeanor of this famous general is also great!

In addition, Wang's father and son are not in harmony with Meng's father and son.There is quite a gap between the two sides.

This is also natural. The Meng family and his son are famous generals, and the Wang family and his son are also famous generals in the Qin Dynasty.

Perhaps, this was also the reason why the First Emperor sent him here.

Fusu supervised Meng Tian's army, while Wang Ping supervised the two men's army!
"General, let's start going into the mountain now." He chimed in.

Meng Tian also knew this, his face returned to calmness, and he glanced at the sky.

It was already bright and the sun had risen, so it was a good time to march.

After glancing at Wang Ping lightly, Meng Tian suddenly said: "General Wang, are the military morale available?"

At this time, he had already entered the role of the general, and Wang Ping bowed his hand again: "Although I am nervous, it is still available!"

Meng Tian turned his head and glanced at the soldiers behind him. The soldiers were a little scattered when the lightning strike just now, and now they have re-arranged the army formation. .

This is partly due to the large number of old soldiers among the army, but also to Wang Ping's contribution.

"Very good!" Rectifying the morale of the army is Wang Ping's duty as a captain, and Meng Tian is not a person who abolishes the public for personal reasons. He nodded approvingly, "In that case, obey my general's orders!"

Everyone's face was serious, Meng Tian glanced at everyone majesticly: "General Wang!"

"Someone is here!" Wang Ping replied solemnly.

"Assemble a troop of troops and twenty chariots to completely surround Yunmeng Shanxi. Don't let any one person or beast escape!"

Meng Tian's voice was indifferent: "There is a swarm of beasts on this mountain. I will be the vanguard general and lead a hundred riders to enter the mountain first. You will protect the young master and walk slowly. If there is a swarm of beasts, we will drive them to the west of Yunmeng Mountain!"

"Here! You will live up to the general's order even if you die!" Wang Ping bowed his hands sternly.

"Very good!" Meng Tian had completely entered the wartime state at this time. He casually took off the cloak on his back, and the dark red cloak fluttered in the morning wind.

"My lords, follow me into the mountains!"

Meng Tian gave the order, and more than ten cavalrymen immediately rushed into the mountain road at the head of the horse. These were the scouts in the army.

Meng Tian also rode his horse and raised his whip, and surrounded by ten personal guards, he rushed towards the mountain, and Magistrate Wu followed closely.

A hundred cavalry also followed the banner of "Shangjiang Tian" and entered.

Meng Tian originally had [-] soldiers under his command, plus the [-] that Wang Ping brought this time, there are already [-] soldiers, exactly one.

The Qin army consisted of five thousand troops, and each department had a captain.There are guards, scouts, luggage and many other arms in the Ministry. The soldiers are divided into two groups, with 2000 people as one group, and the length of the group is set.Qu Chang has two masters of two to five hundred people under his jurisdiction, each leading a thousand people.

The five thousand soldiers are mainly caiguan, that is, infantry, and there are also twenty military chariots.

The military chariot was the most important war machine in the pre-Qin period, but in the Qin period, because of the invention of the crossbow and the change of the military system of the Qin army, the status of the chariot was reduced and the organization was also dismantled.

The original chariots and chariot infantry were dismantled into officers, knights, armored soldiers, and the number of chariots was also reduced. From the original sharp weapon of charge, it became used for garrison when camping, and baggage carts.

The knight who followed Meng Tian into the mountain was the driver of the original chariot.

At this time, because the stirrups were still single-sided, they were only used to assist in getting on the horse, and the saddle was not a bridge-shaped hard saddle in later generations, but a soft saddle, so the knight could not fight with a spear or ride and shoot while on the horse.

Of course, if you rein in your horse and stand still, you can still shoot arrows or fight, but you just don't have the essence of what later generations would call cavalry.

The mountain road is rugged and difficult, but Meng Tian is familiar with the road.He led more than a hundred riders and galloped up the mountain all the way, not long after he had already reached the hillside where he saw Wanniao holding branches last time.

Looking at the giant tree on the hillside ahead, Meng Tian reined in his horse and looked around carefully.

There was silence all around, and there was an extremely fresh smell in the air.

Taking a deep breath, Meng Tian tilted his head and ordered: "Blow the drum!"
