During the process of destroying the six dynasties, he resigned from the court many times, claiming illness, and was invited out by Ying Zheng several times.
However, after he left the mountain to destroy Chu for the last time, no matter how much Ying Zheng persuaded him, he had to retire completely and end his life peacefully.
Of course, that was because the original Ying Zheng was overly suspicious. But now, Ying Zheng was particular about not using those he suspected, and not using those he trusted. If you were capable and loyal to me, I would dare to use you.
Meng Ao was an old minister of the four dynasties, namely King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Xiaowen of Qin, King Zhuangxiang of Qin, and Ying Zheng. He was now over seventy years old. According to the course of history, he had passed away before the war to unify the six dynasties had even begun.
However, his son Meng Wu had followed Wang Jian and served as the deputy general, and he had also made great contributions.
Meng Tian, the grandson of Meng Ao, led 300,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu after unifying the six countries. He was loyal to the Qin country. Otherwise, he would not have been ordered to die by Zhao Gao when he held 300,000 troops in his hands. If he had other thoughts, he would have rebelled.
As for Li Xin, he also played an important role in the process of destroying the six countries. He was the main contributor to destroying the Yan Country.
"Meng Ao, eat it."
Ying Zheng flipped his hand, and a turtle Fruit of Redemption appeared in his hand.
Meng Ao took the gray fruit, which was emitting a faint fragrance, and looked at Ying Zheng with confusion,""Your Majesty, this is…"
The other three couldn't help but take a deep breath. They felt that the smell emitted by this gray fruit had a refreshing effect.
"You'll know once you eat it." Ying Zheng smiled mysteriously.”
Meng Ao put the fruit into his mouth. Not long after, the three of them widened their eyes. They saw Meng Ao's grayish-white hair turning black at a speed visible to the naked eye. His wrinkled face also became smooth and smooth. He had actually turned into a middle-aged man in his forties.
Meng Ao also felt the change in his life force. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he said in a trembling voice,"Great King, this fruit…"
He was only a Xiantian expert. With his cultivation, he shouldn't have only lived for more than seventy years. However, how could a battle general who had been through many battles live to the end of his life?
A Turtle Fruit of Redemption that could increase his life span by 50 years instantly made him return to his middle-aged age and gain another 50 years of life span.
"This fruit can allow you to live for another fifty years," said Ying Zheng with a smile.”
Hiss…
The three of them sucked in a breath of cold air. Even though they were knowledgeable, they had never heard of such a magical fruit.
Immortality had been an eternal pursuit since the birth of mankind, but he had never heard of anyone who could live forever.
However, a fruit that could increase one's lifespan by 50 years was enough to make people go crazy.
They had watched Meng Ao become younger, and the life force in his body had become richer. Therefore, they believed that Ying Zheng's claim that he could live fifty years longer was true.
"Could it be an immortal fruit from the immortal world?" Wei Liaozi gulped.
" Not really," Ying Zheng said with a faint smile." But I have as many of these fruits as I want."”
"I! Meng Ao! Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me a second life!"
Meng Ao slowly stood up and bowed 90 degrees in thanks.
" You have served the Great Qin Empire for four dynasties and made great contributions to the Great Qin Empire. Although you are old, I still hope that you will serve the Great Qin Empire for another hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years!"”
"I! Even if I have to die!" Meng Ao enunciated each word with a pause. Each word was as heavy as a thousand pounds, as if he was making an oath.
It could be said that from now on, Meng Ao had become Ying Zheng's loyal follower.
Ying Zheng laughed out loud and said," With such a great general like you, why should we worry about the Great Qin Empire not unifying the world?”
"Wei Liao, Wang Jian, Li Xin." Ying Zheng looked at the three of them.
"Your subject is here!"
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice," Minister Meng is old. He has served the Great Qin Empire for decades and has made great contributions. That is why I gave him a fruit that can extend his lifespan by fifty years. If you can make a great contribution, I will not be stingy with giving you this fruit.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The three of them were overjoyed.
It was the same principle as driving a donkey. If a carrot was hung in front of the donkey, the donkey would run non-stop if it wanted to eat the carrot.
Of course, the carrot in front of the donkey would never be eaten.
And the radish in Ying Zheng's hand was edible.
As long as they made corresponding contributions, Ying Zheng would give them the fruits of redemption. After all, he really did not lack the fruits of redemption from the tortoise.
As for Meng Ao, just as he had said, he had served Great Qin for decades and had made enough contributions. Moreover, if he did not give him the fruit, Ying Zheng was afraid that news of Meng Ao's death would come one day.
After all, there were millions of mediocre people in the world, and talents were the rarest.
This sentence was applicable no matter when.

The four of them walked out of the palace. Wang Jian looked at Wei Liaozi and asked,""Sir's grandfather is a Wei Country Lieutenant, Sir's grandfather is a Wei Country Lieutenant, and Sir's father is a Wei Country Lieutenant. When Sir's father retreats, Sir will also be a Wei Country Lieutenant. Why did Sir give up all of this and come to Great Qin?”
Wei Liaozi calmly said," The world has been in chaos for more than 200 years. It has been chaotic for long enough, and it is time for the world to be unified. Right now, only Great Qin has the power to unify the world.”
As he spoke, Wei Liaozi glanced at Meng Ao, Wang Jian, and Li Xin and smiled,"If I didn't come to the Qin country, when the three of you led your troops to attack, would I have surrendered? Or lead troops to resist?"
"Mister, do you have any confidence in Wei?" Meng Ao asked.”
Wei Liaozi shook his head." It's because my family has been Wei Country's captains for generations. I have a deep understanding of the Wei Country's military. That's why I don't have confidence in the Wei Country."”
"Sir, you see things clearly. It would be great if there were a few more people in the Six Nations who were as clear as you.”Wang Jian sighed slightly.
…………
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Outside the Qilin Palace, the drums were beating, and the officials slowly walked into the Qilin Palace.
Lu Buwei and Meng Ao stood at the very front. Many of the officials were staring at Meng Ao with their mouths agape. If it weren't for the fact that Meng Ao's face didn't change much and Meng Wu was standing behind him, they would have suspected that Meng Wu had come to court as Meng Ao.
The father and son stood one after the other. They looked about the same age, just like father and son.
