Chapter 44 When Did Your Majesty Change to Drinking Water?

The First Emperor ignored Meng Wu's words, but shook the reins and rushed forward. The team immediately spread out from left to right, with the First Emperor as the center, galloping forward in a fan shape.

Suddenly, all over the mountains and plains, there were figures whizzing past.

Everyone wanted to show off in front of the First Emperor.

Zhao Ying glanced at the beautiful figure in black attire in the distance from the corner of his eyes, and found that Wang Nan's riding skills were very good. Riding on a bare horse, like strong grass in the wind, he followed the movement of the horse. Galloping up and down.

The arrows in her hand were very stable, and almost every arrow produced a harvest. In a short time, she had already hung a pheasant, two rabbits and a fat-looking deer on her horse.

At this time, the First Emperor also shot a mountain deer, but the guards around him rushed up and snatched it back.

On the contrary, Meng Wu, who had been clamoring for Zhao Ying to follow him and suppress Wang Jian's limelight, only fired a few symbolic arrows, then stopped panting and unable to do anything, and glanced at Wang Jian, who was following his grandson and had almost no arrows. , secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"That old guy knows what's interesting, otherwise I have to let him know how powerful I am -"

"The old general is really powerful. He gets stronger with age and can defeat others without fighting!"

Zhao Ying gave Meng Wu a thumbs up with admiration.

Meng Wu looked at this serious young man talking nonsense and couldn't help laughing. Why didn't he realize that this young man was so interesting before?

The First Emperor personally shot the mountain deer, and he was in a good mood. He reined in the reins, handed the bow and arrow to the guards on the side, and jumped off the horse with a slight breath.

In his late fifties, he worked hard day and night and was addicted to elixirs. His body was already severely depleted. At this time, after riding a horse for a while and shooting a few arrows, I already felt a little out of my depth.

Zhao Ying jumped off his horse, took out a tightly wrapped water bottle from the backpack behind him, and handed it over.

"Come, Dad, drink some water——"

The First Emperor looked at him in surprise and reached out to take it.

Who is hot, even a little hot.

"You think it's thoughtful..."

"My eldest father is not in good health and is not suitable for drinking cold water, so I asked my servants to prepare some..."

Zhao Ying smiled and helped the First Emperor sit down on a clean stone.

Now his wealth and life were all related to the First Emperor. To him, the First Emperor's body was more important than anything else. He was now very concerned about anything related to the First Emperor's health.

The First Emperor didn't speak, so he took a sip from the hot water bottle and waved to him.

"Go and play, there's no point in guarding me - go and get first place for your eldest father!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took the long bow from the guard beside him.

"This is the bow and arrow that my father used when he was young. Now it is of no use to me. If you can really draw it, I will give it to you——"

Zhao Ying was overjoyed when he heard this, stretched out his hand to take it, and after a fight with his arms, he immediately pulled the full moon.

For his current strength, this longbow is just right!

He let go of his hand and stroked the textured bow arm with some information. He couldn't tell what material it was made of, but it was heavy in his hand, obviously much heavier than an ordinary bow and arrow.

Seeing Zhao Ying's relaxed look, the First Emperor's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise.

"I didn't expect you to still have some strength. Okay, don't look at it. I think there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Now, take him and come back first for me!"

"promise!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ying jumped on his horse and galloped away, holding the three-stone bow just given by the First Emperor.

On the contrary, Meng Wu, who had been following him, sat down next to the First Emperor, took off the wine bag from his waist and handed it to him.

"Your Majesty, would you like a bite..."

The First Emperor looked at the kettle in his hand, and then at the wine bag handed over by Meng Wu. He hesitated slightly, shook his head, and raised the kettle in his hand.

"No, I can just drink this..."

An imperceptible strange color flashed in Meng Wu's eyes.

Your Majesty, you actually listened to the young master’s advice!

"In a few days, I plan to transfer General Meng Tian to Lingnan to guard it for a period of time. I would like to hear the veteran general's opinion..."

The First Emperor took a sip of boiled water from the kettle and asked seemingly casually. Meng Wu was startled, pondered for a while, then raised his somewhat cloudy old eyes to look at the First Emperor.

"The treacherous son has made a fool of himself and made His Majesty unhappy? I will definitely beat him to death..."

Looking at Meng Wu who was blowing his beard and staring in front of him, pretending to be cool, the First Emperor did not expose him and smiled. Looking at Zhao Ying galloping and whistling in the distance, bending his bow and shooting arrows, an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes.

"No, I just thought maybe it would be good to take a rotation so that we could get familiar with each other..."

The First Emperor spoke calmly, but Meng Wu couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.

Is this because His Majesty's loyalty to the Meng family has wavered?

The First Emperor did not look back, as if he knew what Meng Wu was thinking, and shook his head gently.

"You don't have to think too much, I have never doubted your loyalty, it's just..."

The First Emperor turned sideways and looked at his old friend with gray beard and hair next to him. His eyes were calm and showed no emotion or anger.

"It's just that we are all old..."

Meng Wu looked at the face of the First Emperor, who was less than fifty years old and already had gray hair on his temples, and suddenly felt inexplicably moved in his heart, and nodded heavily.

"I will obey His Majesty's arrangements. The Meng family is willing to do everything for Your Majesty and the Great Qin..."

The First Emperor smiled and reached out to pat Meng Wu on the shoulder.

"Don't be nervous. Come to the palace more often and have a drink with me when you have time. I remember that the boys in your family will be almost sixteen after this year..."

……

While he was talking, Wang Jian also sent his grandson and granddaughter out, jumped off his horse, and walked towards the First Emperor.

"His Majesty--"

Wang Jian saluted to the First Emperor, and then, as if he didn't notice Meng Wu next to him, he supported his waist and sat down on another bluestone next to the First Emperor.

"Your Majesty's skills are still as good as before. It's really enviable. The old minister's body and bones are not good anymore. He is getting worse every day. I estimate that by this time next year, I will have to wait at home for your Majesty's good news..."

As he spoke, he took off the wine bag in his hand and prepared to take a sip to moisten his throat.

The First Emperor smiled.

He handed over the hot water bottle in his hand.

"As you get older and are in poor health, drink less alcohol and more boiled water. I heard that drinking more boiled water is good for your health..."

Even though Wang Jian was calm and wise, he was also confused.

When did the First Emperor stop drinking and drink water instead?

After thanking him, he reached out and took the hot water bottle handed over by the First Emperor, brought it to his mouth and took a sip, then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this time, Wang Li in the distance had just shot another deer. He swooped down, picked it up and held it in his hands. He was sitting on his horse, enjoying the cheers and cheers of his subordinates.
