The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

The night was like thick ink that could not be dissolved, deep and depressing. The moon quietly hid in the heavy clouds, reluctant to shed a single ray of light. The sky and the earth were pitch black, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face, as if the whole world was swallowed by darkness.

Outside the Zhao residence, two dark shadows stood quietly.

Meng Tian lowered his voice slightly, with a hint of doubt in his words:
"Miss Xiaoyue, are you sure Xiaochuan is imprisoned in the Zhao Mansion?"

If he was caught by breaking into the Prime Minister's Mansion at night, it would be very easy for Zhao Gao to deprive Meng Tian of his title with his current power. Qin Shihuang was dead, and Hu Hai would not protect him.

Xiaoyue gritted her teeth and said, "General Meng, how could I lie to you? A few days ago, the Queen Mother saw Xiaochuan in the dungeon of the Zhao Mansion. But the Zhao Mansion was heavily guarded, and no one dared to offend Zhao Gao. Even the Queen Mother shirked her responsibility and said she was powerless. I feel like she has become a different person now. ... General Meng, only you can save him now."

Meng Tian nodded slightly and tightened his cheeks: "Okay! You wait here. If Xiaochuan is in there, I will definitely rescue him."

After saying that, Meng Tian slowly moved closer to the high wall of the Zhao Mansion. He narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully observed the height of the wall and the surrounding environment.

After a moment, Meng Tian slightly bent his legs, like a taut bowstring, and instantly exerted force and leaped up. His strong and powerful hands accurately grasped the edge of the wall, and then cleverly used the force to lightly flip in.

After landing, Meng Tian looked around vigilantly.

What surprised him was that the Zhao Mansion, which was said to be heavily guarded and where assassins could never return, did not even have patrolling guards at this moment.

The surroundings were terribly quiet, with only the occasional breeze blowing, gently ruffling the leaves and making rustling sounds. This unusual silence made Meng Tian feel a little uneasy, but he was eager to save people and didn't care about much. He carefully moved towards the place Xiaoyue mentioned. His footsteps were as light as a cat's, and each step landed silently, as if blending into the darkness.

Meng Tian's ears were keenly aware of any movement around him, his eyes were searching for clues in the darkness, and his hands were always tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

The stone road under his feet was a bit bumpy. Meng Tian carefully avoided places where noise might be made. His figure shuttled through the darkness, like a ghost, silently.

A moment later, Meng Tian saw a dungeon entrance. At the dungeon entrance, two guards were dozing lazily, unaware of the approaching danger.

Meng Tian approached silently like a cheetah. A fierce look flashed in his eyes. When he was still a few steps away from the guard, he suddenly accelerated. His figure was like a flash of lightning, rushing in front of the guard in an instant.

Before the two guards could react, Meng Tian knocked them out with his knife in a lightning-fast manner. The two guards fell to the ground before they could even scream.

Meng Tian gently pushed open the door of the dungeon, and a strong smell of dampness and decay hit him in the face. He frowned slightly, but without the slightest hesitation, he resolutely stepped into the dungeon.

The dungeon was dark and damp, and the torches on the wall flickered with a weak light, barely illuminating the narrow passage. Meng Tian moved forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution, for fear of triggering some trap.

As he walked, Meng Tian heard a faint groan. His heart tightened, and he quickened his pace and walked towards the direction of the sound.

Walking deep into the dungeon, Meng Tian saw a man with a haggard face, messy hair, and tattered clothes leaning against the wall and groaning. The man was hunched over and kept cursing Zhao Gao and Lu Zhi in a low voice...

Who is Lu Zhi? !
"Ok??"

Meng Tian's eyes narrowed. No, this is not Xiaochuan. Xiaochuan is not that short. Meng Tian carefully looked at the strange and downtrodden man in front of him in the dark.

"You are??"

Liu Bang heard the noise and slowly opened his eyes. He was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed to see Meng Tian wearing a nightgown. His eyes flashed with the desire to survive, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw: "Hero, are you here to save me?"

Meng Tian frowned, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a sense of majesty:
"Who are you?! Is Yi Xiaochuan here?"

"Yi Xiaochuan? I'm his sworn brother!"

Liu Bang was overjoyed, as if he had found a clear spring in the desert of despair. He struggled to stand up, his weak body swaying, but he walked towards the depths with an urgent strength, shouting as he walked: "Xiaochuan, Xiaochuan! Someone is here to save us!!"

"who??"

A familiar voice came into Meng Tian's ears. Meng Tian immediately pulled down his mask, pushed aside Liu Bang, looked at the sleepy Yi Xiaochuan, and said excitedly: "Xiaochuan, it's me!!"

Looking at Yi Xiaochuan's appearance in front of him, Meng Tian's eyes turned red.

Yi Xiaochuan's face was pale, his eyes were full of fatigue and vicissitudes, his hair was scattered messily on his shoulders, and his clothes were tattered.

"How... could you become like this?" Meng Tian's voice trembled slightly, and his heart was filled with heartache.

"Brother!?"

Yi Xiaochuan looked at Meng Tian in disbelief, then grabbed Meng Tian's arm tightly, extremely excited. His hands trembled slightly: "Aren't you stationed in Shangjun? I, I thought I would never see you again, brother!!"

Meng Tian supported Yi Xiaochuan and said, "I came back to report on my work and happened to see Miss Xiaoyue getting married to Li Si's eldest son Li You. She told me about it."

"Ah? Xiaoyue and Li You are married!!"

Yi Xiaochuan was startled, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"No...she ran away from her marriage..."

Meng Tian shook his head and said, "It's a long story. Let's go out first and I'll tell you later!"

"Okay!" Yi Xiaochuan suppressed his curiosity and nodded heavily. He knew that now was not the time to ask questions, and the most important thing was to leave this dangerous place.

"Is he your sworn brother?" Meng Tian pointed at Liu Bang.

Yi Xiaochuan nodded: "Yes, big brother!"

"Then let's go together!"

Meng Tian looked at Liu Bang curiously, but could not see anything special about him. After all, although his younger brother had many sworn brothers, they were all extraordinary people. Meng Tian secretly speculated about Liu Bang's background and abilities.

Liu Bang burst into tears of gratitude: "General, I will never forget your great kindness."

"Come on, follow me."

Meng Tian waved his hand and helped Yi Xiaochuan walk out of the dungeon. Liu Bang endured the pain and followed them closely.

The three of them left the dungeon carefully and ran out of the mansion. Their footsteps were light and quick, trying not to make any noise. At this time, Xiaoyue was waiting anxiously outside the Zhao mansion. She was full of worry, wondering whether Meng Tian had found Yi Xiaochuan and whether he could return safely.

Time passed by minute by minute, and every second was a torment for Xiaoyue. She stared at the gate of Zhao's house, as if she wanted to see through the thick wall to see what was going on inside. She clasped her hands tightly together, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain.

"Ogawa?! It's really you!!"

Finally, Xiaoyue's eyes were fixed on the three shadows that quietly emerged from the Zhao residence. Her heart instantly rose to her throat, and nervousness and anticipation intertwined. As the shadows gradually approached, Xiaoyue's heartbeat became more and more rapid, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. When she finally saw the familiar face clearly, she was delighted and hurried to greet them.

When she came in front of Yi Xiaochuan, tears burst out like a flood. She rushed forward and hugged Yi Xiaochuan tightly, as if she was afraid that he would disappear again. Her body trembled slightly, and it was an indescribable excitement and joy.

Yi Xiaochuan was overwhelmed by Xiaoyue's actions. He gently patted Xiaoyue on the back, feeling warm and touched: "It's me! Thank you, Miss Xiaoyue."

After a pause, Yi Xiaochuan's eyes flashed with worry and concern: "Is Yu Shu okay now?"

Xiaoyue's face changed, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her eyes revealed a hint of complicated emotions, her tone was a little stiff: "The Concubine Dowager is fine!"

Xiaoyue's heart was full of contradictions. She was happy for Yi Xiaochuan's safe return, but also felt lost because of his concern for Yu Shu. She knew that her position in Yi Xiaochuan's heart could never be compared with Yu Shu. But she still couldn't control her feelings for Yi Xiaochuan. That deep affection was like a burning flame that could not be extinguished.

Yi Xiaochuan noticed Xiaoyue's strangeness and felt a little guilty. He knew that Xiaoyue had paid a lot for him, but he could not give her the response she wanted: "Xiaoyue, I'm sorry..."

Xiaoyue shook her head and tried to force a smile: "It's okay, Xiaochuan. As long as you are safe."

"Just come out!"

Meng Tian looked at Xiaoyue and said, "Miss Xiaoyue, let's go back first."

Xiaoyue wiped her tears and said, "Okay! Let's get out of here quickly."

Meng Tian nodded, and quickly disappeared into the night with a few people.

Return to the General's Mansion.

Yi Xiaochuan held a bowl of meat porridge and looked at Meng Tian with gratitude in his eyes: "Brother, if it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid I would have a hard time getting out of this situation."

Meng Tian patted Yi Xiaochuan on the shoulder and said, "Xiaochuan, there is no need to thank each other. But I am afraid that Zhao Gao will not let it go. You are not safe here. Zhao Gao knows our relationship. Once he knows that you are missing, he will definitely come to look for you. Although I am not afraid of him, it is better not to cause trouble. Come with me to Shangjun, where I will protect you."

Liu Bang also said quickly: "General Meng is right. We must leave this place as soon as possible to prevent Zhao Gao from sending people to hunt us down."

Yi Xiaochuan lowered his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head, with a complicated look in his eyes: "Brother, I appreciate your kindness. But I can't go to Shangjun with you."

Meng Tian is loyal to the Qin Dynasty, but what Yi Xiaochuan wants to do most now is to overthrow the "tyrannical Qin" and rescue Yu Shu.

With Liu Bang around,...it should be successful, right?

After all, that's what history is!
Meng Tian was slightly startled, with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Why? Xiaochuan, I am here in Shangjun to ensure your safety."

Yi Xiaochuan sighed lightly and said tactfully: "Brother, I have experienced a lot in this land of Daqin. Now, I see the suffering of the people and feel sorry for them. I want to stay and do something for the people in my own way, and find a way to make everyone's life better."

Meng Tian frowned, a thoughtful look on his face: "Xiaochuan, I understand your intention, but this is not easy. The system of the Qin Dynasty is strict, and you may bring great risks to yourself by doing this. Moreover... Zhao Gao is in power now, and he will never give you such an opportunity!"

Yi Xiaochuan looked at Meng Tian: "Brother, I am not afraid of risks. I believe that as long as I have faith in my heart, I will find a way out. I can't escape. No matter what, I have to try to see if there is any result!"

Meng Tian looked at Yi Xiaochuan. He knew that he could not change Yi Xiaochuan's decision. He was silent for a while and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I will not force you. But you must be careful. If you need anything, come to me at any time."

Yi Xiaochuan nodded: "Don't worry, brother, I will take good care of myself."

………………

In the early morning, the golden sunlight falls on the earth gently like a veil, and the breeze blows gently, bringing bursts of intoxicating floral fragrance.

Yi Huawei walked out of the room. However, when his eyes inadvertently fell on the people kneeling at the door, his brows slightly frowned, and his eyes first flashed a hint of doubt, and then quickly became sharp. His eyes stayed on everyone for a moment, and his sight stopped at Ah Er, who was in the lead:

"What have you done wrong again? Get up and speak!"

Ah Er did not dare to stand up, but knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly, and stammered: "My lord, ... two prisoners in the dungeon have been kidnapped! Please punish them!!"

As Yi Huawei finished speaking, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Please punish us, sir!"

"The prisoner was kidnapped?"

Yi Huawei raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Looking at Ah Er, he said in a calm voice: "I will fine you three months' salary, and you go to report to Li You yourself."

Ah Er kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead hitting the ground with a dull sound. "My Lord... I know I was wrong. I will definitely make amends for my crime and bring back those two prisoners! Please don't chase me away!!"

Yi Huawei was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Your vigilance is too poor. Go to the Black Dragon Guards to train for half a year."

Although he did not need guards to protect him, he was sneaked into his house without being noticed. It was really time for them to get some training.

After a pause, Yi Huawei spoke again: "You met Li You, who said that Yi Xiaochuan was rescued. Ask him to chase him, maybe there will be a surprise."

Yi Huawei had already guessed who the person who dared to run to Zhao's house to rescue was. It seemed that Xiaoyue was really infatuated with Yi Xiaochuan. She was really brave and had a brain! In this case, let her be. In the future, even if she wanted to separate, Yi Huawei would not agree.

However, Xiaoyue doesn't have this ability, so someone should help her.

Meng Tian?

It should be him.

Only he has the ability and motivation!
Yi Huawei's eyes flashed, and he thought to himself. It seems that it is time to transfer Meng Tian from the Meng family army to prevent him from becoming a helper to some people.
