In Border City, Meng Tian and Meng Yi walked out of the tent one after the other. Both of them only cared about walking forward and did not say a word.
"I'm sorry, big brother. I was too impulsive!!”In the end, Meng Yi looked at Meng Tian's back and spoke first.
" You didn't let me down!!"
Meng Tian turned around and patted Meng Yi's shoulder. She said slowly,"
"You have let down the King's meticulous nurturing and expectations, let down your family members who have been waiting for you, let down the tens of thousands of people in the border town, and let down your responsibility as the commander of the border town.”
"Your Majesty might not have considered it properly, but as a subject, and with the Meng family's kindness, even if Your Majesty wants us to climb mountains of blades and dive into seas of fire, we cannot hesitate at all. Your Majesty is the sky of Great Qin, the god of Great Qin's people, and the master of our Meng family for generations to come.”
The ancients paid attention to both loyalty and filial piety, especially famous generals like Meng Tian, who had made it into history. They believed in death as their lifelong creed, which was also why Ying Zheng did not directly convict Meng Yi.
A little favor could make them loyal and grateful. Where could he find such a good subordinate?
"The king's grace to the Meng family, his love and forgiveness to Meng Yi, how could Meng Yi have any disloyal thoughts!!”
Meng Yi hurriedly clarified his thoughts, but his eyes were filled with tears as he said,
"But Big Brother, Meng Yi has been guarding the border cities for decades, and he understands the suffering of the people of Great Qin's border cities. He understands the danger that the wolf race poses to the people of the border cities, and I know how hardworking and kind the people of Great Qin are. If I were to watch them die in front of me, I, Meng Yi, would never be able to do that!!”
"So you plan to die?”Meng Tian's expression remained calm.
"But…but this is simply impossible. The tens of thousands of soldiers defending the city and the hundreds of personal guards the King brought against the 200,000 elite soldiers of the Wolf Race are like eggs trying to block a chariot. We don't have any chance of winning at all. This time, the King will definitely lose, and Great Qin will definitely lose!!”
As the Commander of the Border City, Great Qin's famous Great General Meng Yi started to cry in front of his elder brother. He could already see the tragic scene of the Border City being destroyed.
"I've said it before, the King is Great Qin's sky and our god. As subjects, we can voice our opinions and questions about everything he does, but we can't disobey the King and anger the heavens!!”
After saying this, Meng Tian patted Meng Yi's shoulder and walked towards her tent. However, Meng Yi seemed to hear Meng Tian's helpless sigh.
Wiping away his tears, Meng Yi waved his cloak and began to patrol the interior of the border city. This was a habit he had for many years.
"General Meng Yi!"
As soon as Meng Yi entered the border city, several citizens of the border city surrounded him with torches. One of the old men stood out and said slowly,
"General Meng Yi, His Majesty's arrival caused the wolf tribe to retreat several miles, but now he has returned. I wonder what the situation is like ahead? When will Great Qin's elite soldiers arrive at the border cities? When will we be able to drive the Werewolves out?”
"That's right, General Meng Yi. When can we drive away those brutal wolves?!”
"Just tell us, General Meng Yi. The king is here. We will definitely be able to chase away those inhuman wolves, right?”
"When the king drives away the wolf tribe, we will have a good life. Isn't that right, General Meng Yi?!”
Meng Yi didn't know if it was because the late autumn wind was too cold or something else, but when he heard the people's anticipation, he felt his nose turn sour. He took a deep breath and forcefully controlled the tears in his eyes.
"Great Qin's law forbids the divulgence of military intelligence and spying on it. Your questions have already reached the level of exterminating all of your families. It's best that you quickly return; I can't tell you!”
The moment they heard that their entire clan was going to be executed, the commoners instantly quieted down. They stared at Meng Yi with widened eyes, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Seeing this, Meng Yi had no choice but to turn around so that the commoners could not see his tears. He hesitated for a long time before saying,
"Everyone…go back and pack your things. Don't…don't get caught by the wolves…”
After saying that, Meng Yi strode towards his residence, leaving behind a group of commoners standing in the autumn wind.
The next day, Meng Yi hurriedly got out of bed as soon as the Great Qin bugle sounded. At this moment, the soldiers rushed into the tent and reported,
"General Meng Yi, the Wolf Tribe soldiers are suddenly approaching the border city. General Meng Tian is calling for you to quickly rush to the city tower for a meeting!!”
Apparently, the letter of peace that the wolf tribe sent to Ying Zheng last night did not receive a reply, so the wolf tribe chose to put pressure on Ying Zheng again this morning. They had to find out Ying Zheng's real strength and the military situation in the border city.
Understanding this, Meng Yi hurriedly put on his clothes and armor and called for the guards to rush to the city tower.
However, as soon as Meng Yi stepped out of the tent, he saw a large number of border town citizens standing in front of him with all kinds of weapons in their hands, as if they had been waiting for his arrival.
"General Meng Yi, the king's visit to our border town is the greatest love for the people of our border town. Although the people of the border town are illiterate, they know that loyalty and filial piety are the first priority and serve the king!!”
Before Meng Yi could ask, an old man stood up and gripped the weapon in his hand.
"The people of Border Town have been bullied enough by the wolf tribe. Most of our relatives have been killed by the wolf tribe. Now that we are the only ones left, we will never leave our homes, the land that has nurtured us for decades, or any of our relatives!!”
"Your Majesty is diligent in governing the country and cherishes the people. Not only did you reduce the heavy taxes, but you also let the people of Qin live a good life that the people of other countries envy. You even came to our border town at the most critical time and sent winter food and clothes to the people of our border town.”
"Now that the wolf tribe army is pressing down on the border, and the king has personally come to the border city to lead us to resist the invasion of the foreign tribes and protect our border city, how many people in the world are like this kind of benevolent king? Isn't that right, everyone?"
The old man's last words were directed at the people of Border Town behind him, and the people hurriedly echoed,
"Your Majesty is diligent in governing the country and cherishes the people. We will definitely follow Your Majesty to the death. Long live Your Majesty, long live the border cities, long live Great Qin!!”
Their voices were deafening and resounded through the clouds, causing Meng Yi to be unable to react in time.
"Since ancient times, it has always been the subjects who die for the king. Now that our border city is under the pressure of the wolf army, the king, who is the true son of heaven of the king of a country, has not retreated from the border city. We have received the king's kindness, so how can we be afraid of death and abandon the king and the border city!”
At this point, the old man raised his arms and shouted with determination,
"Your Majesty is benevolent to the people, and the people of Great Qin will swear their lives to follow Your Majesty, protect Your Majesty, protect our homeland, expel the wolf race, and raise our country's prestige!!”
"Expel the wolf clan and raise the prestige of our country!" Expel the wolf clan and raise our country's prestige!" The citizens of Border Town shouted in unison.
This was probably the reason why Ying Zheng was willing to give them clothes and food, because he knew that the people of Great Qin under his rule were all kind and brave Chinese people.
"Good!"
Meng Yi's eyes were red as he said proudly and loudly,
"Then let us take up our weapons together, defend our king, defend our homeland, expel the wolf clan, and uphold the might of our country, and swear to follow King Ying Zheng!!”
"Protect the king, protect our homeland, and follow King Ying Zheng to the death!!”
The battle hymn resounded through the sky, announcing to the world the pride and ambition of the children of China who had stood tall for thousands of years.
