Thirteen Swords of Qin Shizhi's Desperate Beginning

"Gene!?"

Holding the saber in his hand, Meng Tian made fine adjustments to his body. After a simple fine-tuning of his posture, he could launch an attack from anywhere, or launch a defense from anywhere.

Meng Tian asked: "I don't know if your Excellency is the same person as Gai Nie I know?"

Before Gai Nie could answer, Meng Tian continued: "Gai Nie came out of Guigu as a teacher and entered Xianyang three years ago. He became the chief swordsmanship teacher next to the king and has the reputation of the number one swordsman in the Qin Dynasty."

Gai Nie said indifferently: "The number one swordsman in the Great Qin Dynasty is nothing but the love of Gai from the people in the Jianghu."

"Young General Meng is the young master of the Meng clan. In front of the 30 Meng clan army and the Meng clan's Golden Fire Cavalry, Gai Nie's strength alone is negligible."

Meng Tian frowned and said, "You know me?"

Gai Nie said calmly, "I know a lot more."

"It is said that the grandfather of the Major General, Old General Meng Ao, was from Qi. I wonder who the Major General is loyal to as a leader in Qin's army?"

"You..." Meng Tian was sullen.

Meng Tian said coldly: "Although my grandfather was from Qi, he entered Qin in his early years and served successively King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Xiaowen of Qin (who only served as king for three days, died suddenly), King Zhuangxiang of Qin (father of Yingzheng, Yiren of Qin, Reigned for three years) Three generations of Qin kings, loyal and outstanding military exploits."

"In the past, when my grandfather entered the Great Qin Dynasty, he won the trust of King Zhaoxiang. He fought on the battlefield and served the Great Qin army all his life. He never stopped for a moment."

"In his lifetime, he captured seventeen cities in South Korea, 35 cities in Zhao State, and 51 cities in Wei State, so that our Great Qin established Sanchuan County and Dong County, allowing Qin State to border Qi State and form a siege around the land of the Three Jin Dynasties. Potential."

Meng Tian continued: "My father, Meng Wu, is an official worshiping the internal history of the Great Qin Dynasty. He controls a country's grain and goods, works diligently and loves the people. He also controls 30 Meng family troops, stabilizes the court, and never has the slightest intention of doing anything wrong."

"How can I allow you to peck at the loyal heart of my Meng family."

Gai Nie pursed his lips lightly, clasped his fists and said, "Young General Meng joined the army at fifteen and followed his grandfather, Old General Meng, to conquer Wei, Zhao, South Korea, and Wei. Not relying on the shadow of the family, but relying on his own military merits to be promoted to Qin Guogong (a kind of military merit title), he is the youngest cavalry commander in the history of Great Qin."

"The major general must be a confident and proud man."

Gai Nie said indifferently: "Such a person would not even bother to lie."

A disciple of Guigu, the skill of vertical and horizontal, the skill of eloquence, the skill of discerning people... are all first-class. Gai Nie can see that Wang Ji has ulterior motives, and naturally he can also see that Meng Tian is not a cunning villain.

Gai Nie took out a jade seal, which was the seal of the King of Qin. As the young master of the Meng family, Meng Tian often followed his grandfather Meng Ao, so he was no stranger to the seal of the King of Qin.

Seeing this, Meng Tian was startled, immediately knelt down respectfully, and said: "Meng Tian pays homage to the king."

The Seal of the King of Qin is like a king in person.

Gai Nie's eyes were dark, he was still observing Meng Tian, ​​seeing Meng Tian's subconscious body reaction, further confirming Meng Tian's loyalty, because when the incident happened suddenly, the subconscious first reaction of the other party's facial expression and body language can best show a person's heart real thoughts.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Gai Nie knew that this person was available.

Gai Nie held the jade seal in his hand and said, "It is said that there may be changes in the army, please wait for the opportunity to move."

Meng Tian's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself: "Sure enough. Your Majesty has arrived in Wusui."

The Meng family has its own contacts and intelligence network, so Meng Tian naturally knew the information that the king secretly left Xianyang for Xinzheng.

Now, Gai Nie, the king's chief swordsmanship instructor, appeared in Wu Sui, so it is reasonable for the king to also appear in Wu Sui.

Meng Tian clasped his fists and said: "Meng Tian obeys."

Gai Nie said lightly, "Tonight's meeting is really a secret."

Meng Tian nodded: "I understand, it's about the king's safety, Meng Tian must be cautious and never reveal any news."

"Farewell!" Gai Nie cupped his fists and saluted.

Swish!
Dressed in a green shirt, his body swept across the window, and disappeared in an instant as if startled.

Meng Tian's eyebrows twitched: "What a quick movement."

Meng Tian got up slowly, and whispered to himself: "There may be changes in the army? Could it be related to the death of the scouts? Who killed the scouts? Why did you kill the scouts?"

"In any case, we must ensure the safety of the king."

"This matter needs to be investigated immediately."

Meng Tian left his tent while speaking, and led several soldiers to check the horses in the barracks.

Half an hour later, the deputy general reported: "Report to Lord Qian, the number of horses has been counted, and it is consistent with the amount of this morning, and there is no error."

Meng Tian wears an iron mask. As the young master of Mengshi, his face is very similar to that of his grandfather and father. He is easily recognized by people in the army, which adds trouble for no reason. So he has been wearing a mask for the past few years. People know his true identity.

Meng Tian frowned and said, "The number of horses is correct?! Then... it seems that the scout team was killed after returning to camp."

"Sima Yufu, where are the chariots and horses that the scouts brought back today?"

Sima Yufu was puzzled, and said, "There are no foreign carriages and horses today."

"Huh?! Without a carriage, how could it be possible?" Meng Tian pondered, realizing that the matter was not simple.

At this time, a soldier led the horse and left.

Meng Tian stopped him and said, "Tune the horse in the middle of the night, what's the matter?"

Seeing this, the soldiers reported: "Lord Qianchang, under the orders of Chief Zuo Shu, I will escort an urgent letter out of the camp."

Meng Tian frowned thickly: "It's already late at night, and it's really weird that Wang Ji sent his own soldiers to escort the letter."

"Where are the letters sent?"

The soldier hesitated and said, "General Wang Jue has ordered that this matter must be kept absolutely confidential."

Meng Tian stepped forward, inspecting the horses, and said: "Mr. Zuo Shu's military order is certainly important, but the laws of the Great Qin stipulate that once the military camp is closed, it cannot be opened without authorization if there is no war."

"Violators, behead!"

The soldier's expression was startled, and he said hastily, "This letter has to be sent to the capital, so there must be no delay."

Meng Tian glanced sideways: "Xianyang, the king's capital!?"

The soldier realized that he had slipped his tongue, and immediately said: "No, no, what this subordinate means is that this letter was escorted by General Wang Jue's order. Once the questioning is completed, the subordinate cannot bear it."

At this time, Meng Tian patted the horse's body, turned and left and said, "You know horses very well, and you have tuned the fastest horse. This is indeed a very urgent task."

"Go."

Seeing this, the soldier cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord Qianchang."

Wang Ji's personal soldiers immediately got on their horses and galloped away.

Meng Tian murmured: "This horse is very explosive, but its limbs are short and its stamina is insufficient. It is only suitable for going and returning quickly, and it is impossible to reach Xianyang. There must be a fraud in this matter."

"Sima Yufu, follow secretly and monitor all the way."

Sima Yufu clasped his fists and said, "Yes."

Soon, another fast horse left the barracks.

Meng Tian strode away, doubts lingering in his heart.

"Wang Kui suddenly led his troops southward, claiming to have received military orders from the king and Prime Minister Lu to guard Wusui; just a few days later, the king secretly came to Wusui's barracks."

"Wang Ji killed the scouts and sent people to deliver letters late at night. What is the purpose behind all these seemingly reasonable but contradictory actions?"

No one can answer Meng Tian, ​​he has to find the answer by himself.

Maybe this answer will be very dangerous, but he has no hesitation, because he is Meng Tian.
