Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 344 Opening

Meng Tian left the commander's tent and prepared to complete the tasks assigned by Wang Ye, dispatching manpower and setting up the ambush site.

However, during the walk, Meng Tian's brows were always squeezed together, with no intention of relaxing at all.

He always felt something was wrong.

It seems that Wang Ye's statement is correct.

The secret letter sent by the king himself could not be false. Although due to military law, he was not qualified to read the content, but since the king sent the letter, it must be something important.

Li Si's identity was true, he had the scepter in his hand, and he was indeed a guest of Lu Buwei's house. He was definitely of the Lu Prime Minister's faction. As for what Wang Ye said about being greedy for life and afraid of death, it was normal.

He also interrogated the soldier who sent the letter under the guise of Wang Yan, and the answer he got was that he was indeed sending a secret letter to Yongcheng.

Of course, the credibility of this is average. He is Wang Ye's personal soldier, and he has not seen the letter.

But it's a small problem.

The most serious question in Meng Tian's opinion now is why Wang Ye told him the truth and produced the king's secret letter?
  He knew in his heart that he was just a Qian Chang, and his status as a member of the Meng family qualified him to have a glimpse of the royal family's scandals, but this did not mean that Wang Ye had to tell him.

Even if he was chasing after him, as the commander-in-chief, he could have arrested him with a military order. Why should he tell the truth and give himself a fair share of the credit?

The relationship between my family and Wang Ye is not that good...

Moreover, the existence of something like the King's secret letter should not be leaked. Since it was sent to him, Wang Ye, he must keep this secret, otherwise he will be held accountable according to law.

What problems are hidden in it that I didn't expect?

Apart from Wang Ye's statement, Meng Tian can't think of another reasonable explanation now.

He felt that he was still missing some information...

The State of Qin has only one young master...who calls himself Mr. Shang...

With the last bit of confusion that he couldn't see through, Meng Tian could only follow Wang Ye's instructions to arrange the ambush.

At least for now, the other party is still his superior.

………………

After everything was prepared and the manpower arrangements were completed, Wang Yan, Meng Tian, ​​and Li Si went up to the general stage and waited for Mr. Shang's arrival.

The General Pointing Platform can also be called the Soldier Pointing Platform. This thing is only used for two times: when the army is deployed, when a real war is going to be fought with people, and for full-army drills (complete nonsense).

Now there is no need to do either of these things, so the construction is just for show, purely for decoration.

But now it comes into use.

Except for the commander-in-chief of the army and officials similar to inspection and supervision, no one else is qualified to come up here.

Even Meng Tian, ​​a Qian Changshang, was given special permission by Wang Jue.

Li Si is an envoy, and he has a scepter in his hand, so he can come up naturally.

As for Gai Nie, the guard, after all, he is the chief swordsmanship instructor of the King of Qin, and his status is considered noble. There is no problem in being a general.

Moreover, as a high disciple of Guigu, he is also theoretically proficient in the art of war, so it is appropriate to ask him to direct troops at this point.

The reason why Wang Yan invited people was naturally to have a banquet, but the explanation he gave was to invite Gai Nie and the envoy Li Si, except Ying Zheng.

He is the King of Qin, who is qualified to invite him?
  So it seems okay not to invite him.

The time is dusk and evening, a suitable time for dinner. The general ordering platform is located on the west side of the rear of the camp, next to the military tent.

The west-slanting sun was shining directly on the high platform, and its dim orange light spread on the ground. Wang Ye and Meng Tian stood on the edge of the high platform and looked at the road leading here, while Li Si was sitting peacefully at the arranged dining table.

Not long after, Gai Nie's thin figure appeared at the end of the road against the setting sun, but to Wang Ye's surprise, Master Shang's white clothes also appeared.

Bang!
  Wang Ye slapped the railing and said bitterly, "Damn it, why did Mr. Shang come with you too!?"

After saying that, he turned to look at Li Si, who was sitting calmly, and asked with a frown, "Have they noticed something?" Li Si waved his hand and signaled Wang Ye to be calm, "General, don't be impatient. Nie has always acted cautiously and never strayed a step away from Mr. Shang. Now it is normal that he does not want to leave Mr. Shang to go to the banquet alone."

"As long as Gu Xun and his group haven't made any move, it means Mr. Shang hasn't become suspicious yet."

After being explained by Li Si, Wang Ye felt a little calmer.

Meng Tian asked from the side:

"General, since things have changed, do you want to give up the ambush?"

Wang Ye waved his hand and rejected Meng Tian's proposal, "No, the arrow is on the string, how can it not be fired? Even if it doesn't move, it will scare the grass and scare the snake, so it is better to fight."

"But... the manpower ambushed here right now is afraid that they won't be able to take down Gai Nie in a short time!" Meng Tian reminded in a worried voice.

He mainly wanted to delay Wang Ye's plan because he still had some issues that he had not figured out.

Wang Ye gritted his teeth as he looked at Ying Zheng and Gai Nie who were gradually walking in.

Of course he was aware of Meng Tian's concerns, but if this operation failed and the other party was alerted, the person he would probably have to face next time would not just be Gai Nie.

"Master Li, you are so calm, do you have any clever ideas?" At the critical moment, Wang Ye turned to Li Si, a gentle man, for advice.

The main thing is that he has a calm look on his face, which makes people unconsciously believe that he must have a countermeasure.

"Oh, don't worry, General."

Li Si raised the corner of his mouth and showed a confident smile, "Gane is a pure swordsman. Most of his strength lies in his sword. As long as his weapons are aside, he has nothing to worry about."

"And the place the general chose this time is also very suitable. There are just enough reasons."

"Master Li is really thoughtful and can think of this." Wang Ye felt that Li Si's arrangement was very suitable, "With my general here, plus Meng Tian and a group of soldiers, it is no problem to take down Gai Nie without weapons. "

"Then let Meng Tian do it." Turning to Meng Tian, ​​Wang Ye once again handed over the work to him.

"As ordered."

Meng Tian had no reason to refuse, so he turned around and walked off the general platform while holding the hilt of his sword.

Li Si smiled when he saw this and still sat calmly.

Wang Ye glanced at him out of the corner of his eye - he always felt that Li Si was a little different now than before.

Shaking his head, Wang Ye put aside his unreasonable thoughts and focused all his attention on Gai Nie.

If he was unwilling to hand over his weapons, he might have to attack and kill the two of them by force.

"Please stop!" Meng Tian stopped Gai and Nie who were about to take the stage. During this period, he kept his hand on the hilt of his sword, always on guard.

"Please Mr. Guy hand over your sword."

Naturally, Gai Nie would not hand over his sword easily - this thing is like half a wife, how can it be easily faked in human hands?

Seeing this, Meng Tian emphasized:
  "This is the military law of our State of Qin. Outsiders are not allowed to bring weapons to the commander's platform. Sir, please hand over your sword."

In the end, he did not forget to mention: "The envoy Mr. Li Si is also up there, Mr. Gai, please don't worry."

　There are only three updates today.

　　I didn't go to bed until 4 o'clock last night. I was low on energy...

　　There won't be a fourth update tomorrow, because I'm taking leave tomorrow for no special reason. I want to take a break at the beginning of the month, and I've been very tired lately.

　　Because I am asking for leave subjectively, I won’t make up for it for you... Please be considerate.

　　I currently owe three and four updates, and I will pay them off before the 7th.
