Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1226 Strange

Meng Tian laughed loudly when he heard this and raised his glass, "The Imperial Master is still so cheerful and open-minded. Come on, let me toast you!"

Seeing this, Gu Xun also smiled and raised his glass in response.

"Ha..." Meng Tian put down the wine cup with a clang, let out a comfortable groan, and then said, "Unfortunately, everyone seems to be very busy, otherwise I would have held a banquet for the Imperial Master and several others. My lord."

The other adults Meng Tian mentioned were naturally several important officials of the empire, including Li Si.

In fact, there aren't many people who actually do anything inside, only Li Si, Gong Shuqiu can barely count as one, and the rest are Gu Xun and the Yin Yang family, just pure water monsters.

Gu Xun clicked his tongue in surprise and asked, "General Meng has never been fond of drinking and having fun. Why is he so keen on it recently?"

Meng Tian waved his hand slightly feeling unlucky and said, "Just having some fun."

"I won't go into the process of transporting the sacred tree all the way. I think the Imperial Master can imagine how... tortured it is."

The Fuso sacred tree is nearly a hundred feet high. Even though traveling by water is more convenient than land transportation, the water is not a slave to people's wishes, and the boat is not a modern diesel-powered vessel. Just think about it and you will know how troublesome it will be to get there all the way.

"After arriving in Songhai, I couldn't rest for two days."

"Due to the mirage incident, chaos arose inside and outside the city. The mirage itself has problems and needs to be rebuilt. No problem can arise on either side."

"I'm not afraid of the National Master's jokes, and I'm certainly not afraid of any hardships or dangers. However, such trivial matters are really a waste of people's energy and make me feel exhausted."

Gu Xun nodded repeatedly, "Understood, understood."

"But General Meng can breathe a sigh of relief now. Isn't Li Xiangguo here? Let him worry about the next thing. Just take care of the city defense and arrest the rebels."

Hearing this, Meng Tian's resolute and steady face showed a slightly inconsistent frivolous smile, and nodded but remained silent.

Obviously, this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes had already made up his mind.

It's not just someone taking advantage of the situation. It was because Li Si, Fusu and others didn't arrive that he had to temporarily take over everything in Songhai City.

Now that the person taking the job is here, of course he has to hand over what he should hand over.

Gu Xun then stopped chatting and turned to business:

"How's it going at the mirage?"

Hearing this question, a relaxed look flashed across Meng Tian's face, "According to Master Gongshu, he has completed the calculation of the new data, and the new drawings should be drawn today."

"Next, the craftsmen only need to modify and adjust that part of the structure step by step. It won't take long for the mirage to be officially completed."

Although Meng Tian didn't like the task of supervising the construction of fortifications, which was not incompatible with his status as a general, he also knew how important this matter was to Ying Zheng.

It can be said that the importance of the Battle of Lingnan may not be as important as this sea-breaking giant ship and the 100-foot sacred tree.

If such an important thing is accomplished, it will naturally be a huge credit, but if something goes wrong, it will be fatal every minute.

Before it was completely completed, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Fortunately, Gong Shuqiu finally gave him reassurance - since this old guy dared to relax, he must have ensured that the project would be worry-free, otherwise he, the chief engineer, would definitely end up much worse than himself, the supervisor.

"As long as it's no problem." Gu Xun nodded, not paying much attention to the answer, and continued, "In this way, General Meng's responsibility is only to ensure the stability of Songhai."

Meng Tian raised the corner of his mouth and replied confidently, "Please rest assured, Imperial Master, I didn't take it into consideration some time ago. The haze inside and outside Sanghai will definitely be cleared in the future." Gu Xun took a sip of wine and smiled meaningfully. He replied, "I'm afraid you won't be able to stay here for long."

Meng Tian frowned, and without caring about anything, he asked frankly, "What news did the Imperial Master know? Your Majesty intends to transfer me to another place?"

Gu Xun didn't answer, but pointed to the north.

Meng Tian was still confused and said strangely, "It doesn't make sense. The wolf tribe has been very peaceful recently and has no intention of violating the border. Your Majesty, there is no need to rush me back to the North, right?"

Although he was pulled out to do other work, Meng Tian still paid attention to the situation of the wolf clan. He could stay in Songhai to deal with these trivial matters with peace of mind because the north was now peaceful.

Of course, that's just what he thinks.

Gu Xun nodded, but did not refute Meng Tian, ​​"Theoretically, the wolves will not invade the border in a short time."

"The entire grassland is about to be in chaos. Wusun covets the Yuezhi, and the wolf clan is focused on tearing the flesh and blood from Donghu's body. No matter which clan, they will not provoke the rising empire."

The most powerful thing about the empire is its military front. Even if it mobilizes half a million troops to attack Lingnan, it does not mean that these northern aliens will have a chance to fight against the autumn wind.

After all... the Qin Xiongnu and the Han Xiongnu are almost two kinds of creatures, and they are very different.

Meng Tian didn't know so much news about the grassland. He was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and then suddenly realized, "So that's it. I said that the wolf tribe has been too quiet recently, and it is actually targeting other forces."

Then he hurriedly asked, "What does the National Master think will happen if the Wolf Clan confronts Donghu?"

In Meng Tian's view, the two sides should have been in a stalemate for several years. After all, although the wolf tribe has developed very well in recent years, the Donghu tribe is a large tribe that has been entrenched in the grassland for many years. It is not small in power and is not a stubble.

Gu Xun directly broke his fantasy, "Don't think about the good news that they will be in a stalemate or lose both sides. King Donghu is too old and stupid to be adventurous enough."

"However, you don't need to think too much about the disputes within the grassland. The empire is unable to intervene at this time."

"The reason why I said you won't stay long is not because there will be some big changes in the grassland, but... what problems may arise within the imperial court?"

"What's the problem?" Meng Tian's rough face showed a look of confusion, "The court has been... quite peaceful lately, right?"

When asked about this, Gu Xun shook his head and smiled with an unknown meaning, "I can't say for sure, I just feel... I feel like I missed something."

"Anyway, just remember it."

Feel……

Meng Tian's eyelids twitched and he was speechless at this answer.

If someone else had used his feelings to fool him, he would have been deceived and dragged down by his lies.

But Gu Xun...he had no choice but to smile and nod in agreement, "Meng Tian, ​​please remember."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, you are a general. If there is a war, just fight it." Gu Xun drank the wine in the wine cup and asked another matter again, "There are people from the Yin Yang family in the mirage. ?”

"Of course, a large number of Yin Yang family disciples have been stationed for a long time." Meng Tian took a sip of wine with him, nodded and replied, "None of those people feel normal, they are weird, and I don't know how the Yin Yang family teaches them. disciple?"

The last sentence is not about the yin and yang, Meng Tian is just curious, because those disciples are really weird, and those yin and yang puppets are even more sinister and ghostly.

After all, it is a branch of Taoism. Why doesn't it have any meaning at all?
