An hour later, several famous generals from Yanmen Pass arrived at the meeting hall.
This included the Great General of the Meng Army, Meng Tian.
After him was the deputy general, Li You.
The last one was Pang De, the deputy general of the Meng Army.
As well as the powerful Great General of the Black Armored Imperial Army, Li Xin, who followed beside Li Xiao.
These people represented all the military strength in Yanmen Pass.
What surprised Li Xiao was that Yi Xiaochuan and Tu An's Princess Yu Shu followed behind Meng Tian.
The two of them sat behind Meng Tian's chair.
"Yu Shu is indeed beautiful!"
Seeing Li Xiao looking at her, Yu Shu's face turned slightly red."
"Why is this Marquis of Great Qin so handsome?”
"And why does the gaze he's looking at me feel like it's going to swallow me!”
It had to be said that sometimes, looks were a strange thing. If it weren't for Li Xiao, Yi Xiaochuan, this pretty boy, would still be quite good-looking.
Unfortunately, Li Xiao's looks were far better than his.
Furthermore, Yu Shu only had a slight impression of Yi Xiaochuan.
She was far from falling in love with Yi Xiaochuan.
Yu Shu couldn't help but be attracted by Li Xiao's extremely handsome appearance.
How could such a handsome man be a bad person?
Seeing this, Yi Xiaochuan's heart was filled with jealousy."
"Li Xiao, this big villain, he's really a playboy. Li Xiao, this damn big villain!
The Lu sisters were not enough.
She actually dared to stare at Yu Shu like that!”
Li Xiao then turned his gaze to Yi Xiaochuan, who was standing behind Meng Tian. Yi Xiaochuan looked at Li Xiao provocatively.
Li Xiao's heart was instantly filled with joy.
Did she become capable after acknowledging her father?
Noticing Li Xiao's gaze, Meng Tian pointed at Yi Xiaochuan and said to Li Xiao,"
"Lord Marquis, his name is Yi Xiaochuan. He is my long-lost younger brother, Meng Yi.
This time, I'm going to Tu 'an under His Majesty's orders.
I didn't expect the heavens to be so kind to me, allowing me to find my long-lost brother here!”
"Blood brother?"
Li Xiao dragged out his tone. With a faint smile on his face, he looked at Yi Xiaochuan and asked,"
"Are you really Great General Meng's younger brother?”
Yi Xiaochuan's gaze was somewhat evasive, but he still straightened his neck and said to Li Xiao,"
"I am the Great General's younger brother Meng Yi. Do you have any objections?”
Li Xiao's lips curled into a cold smile. Then, he stopped looking at Yi Xiaochuan. Yi Xiaochuan kept saying that he would not change history. In the storyline of the Mythology, he was unwilling to be Meng Tian's younger brother no matter what.
Why? Can't survive anymore?
He shamelessly wanted to be Meng Tian's younger brother.
Li Xiao did not intend to expose him. Looking at the generals present, he could not help but say in a deep voice,
"This time, His Majesty has ordered that all matters in Yanmen Pass will be handled by me.
I am now the commander of the three armies.
I hope that all of you can defend against the enemy together and help the Great Qin protect this important place, Yanmen Pass.”
"I will definitely serve Lord Marquis!"
The generals present, including Meng Tian, stood up and cupped their hands at Li Xiao.
Yu Shu's eyes blinked!
"What an awe-inspiring handsome man!"
According to the current situation, Yi Xiaochuan was a rich second-generation scumbag who suddenly saw the pure Princess Tu An fall in love with Yu Shu. This guy fell in love with everyone he saw.
Unfortunately, Li Xiao was worse than him. No, Li Xiao was more handsome than him!
Moreover, the faint smile on Li Xiao's face from beginning to end really made people have a good impression of him.
After everyone was seated, Li Xiao suddenly shouted in a deep voice,"
"Great General Meng Tian, do you know your sins?”
The moment these words were spoken, the eyes of all the generals present revealed a hint of shock. However, only Li Xiao coldly snorted and said,
"Originally, the 50,000 Meng soldiers stationed at Yanmen Pass should have been impregnable.
But it was because of your carelessness.
That was why the 30,000 soldiers of the Meng Family were all killed by the Xiongnu.
This has caused Great Qin to be in such a passive position!”
Meng Tian, do you know your sins?"
All the generals present were stunned. They did not expect Li Xiao to use Meng Tian to establish his authority just as he arrived at Yanmen Pass. He was truly a Defender Marquis.
He even dared to provoke Great General Meng Tian.
The Black Armored Imperial Army Great General Li Xin looked at Li Xiao with a burning gaze.
"Amazing, really amazing! Interesting!"
However, at this moment, a furious voice was heard.
"What crime did my big brother commit?
When the Xiongnu attacked, when was my big brother not at the front?
When had he not been stained with the blood of his enemies?
If it weren't for my brother Meng Tian, the Xiongnu would have attacked Yanmen Pass long ago.”
"Li Xiao, the Imperial Court and His Majesty sent you here to guard Yanmen Pass on our behalf.
It wasn't for you to establish your might right away.
If they had the ability, they should go and fight the Xiongnu instead of attacking Great Qin's own people.”
Yi Xiaochuan's face was filled with anger. He even believed that Li Xiao was looking for trouble with Meng Tian because of Yi Xiaochuan.
He wanted to give Yi Xiaochuan a taste of his own medicine.
However, just as Yi Xiaochuan finished speaking, Li Xin, who was sitting beside Li Xiao, revealed a disdainful expression and sneered,"
"What crime? Lord Marquis can't be bothered with a minor character like you.
According to Great Qin's laws, they had been defeated.
A general would be punished.
Even if your big brother Meng Tian is a Great General, you still can't be forgiven. This is Great Qin's law.
Don't you know about this?"
"This…"
Yi Xiaochuan, who was a modern person, did not understand Great Qin's laws. He was stunned by Li Xin's words, and before he could say anything, Li Xin mercilessly said,"
"There's one more thing that I want to say. The military is a place where hierarchy is important.
Even if you, Yi Xiaochuan, are General Meng's younger brother.
But he had no right to shout at Lord Marquis.
Moreover, what status do you have now? You haven't even received the rank of general. What qualifications do you have?”
"To put it bluntly, if Great General Meng Tian wasn't here.
You don't even have the right to be here.
Lord Marquis is not calculative with you because Lord Marquis is magnanimous, but I have to say it.
Is it your place to interrupt when Lord Marquis is speaking?”
During this period of time, Li Xin had a good impression of Li Xiao. In his opinion, Li Xiao, who always had a faint smile on his face, was obviously a gentle and elegant gentleman who did not lose his martial arts.
Moreover, he did not have the domineering feeling of a minister in the court at all.
Moreover, Tian Sha, who was following behind Li Xiao, had convinced him during this period of time.
And who was this Yi Xiaochuan?
Even Li Xin did not dare to speak loudly to Li Xiao. Yi Xiaochuan was just a commoner, yet he dared to act so arrogantly in front of Li Xiao because of Meng Tian.
Did he really think that everyone was afraid of Meng Tian?
Yi Xiaochuan's face flushed red with embarrassment and anger as he said,"
"What did you say? You…"
However, before he could finish speaking, Li You, who was sitting beside Meng Tian, could not help but say,"
"Yi Xiaochuan, the Defender Marquis is the commander of the three armies.
It was necessary to be clear about rewards and punishments; this was set by Great Qin's laws and His Majesty.
Stop fooling around.
If you were to contradict the marshal in the hall, no one would dare to say anything even if you were dragged down and beaten a hundred times.”
"Li You, you too!"
Yi Xiaochuan looked at Li You in disbelief. In his opinion, Li You was his big brother's underling, so he should be speaking up for him.
He remembered that the two of them had been drinking and bragging together before, but what was going on now? She actually turned around and stabbed him in the back.
"I'm just telling the truth! Yi Xiaochuan, don't delay the marshal's work.”
Yi Xiaochuan thought that he could call anyone his brother just by drinking and bragging. Li You was a proper General of Great Qin and was the most loyal to Great Qin.
He had always been realistic when doing things.
Yi Xiaochuan and Tu An's Princess Yu Shu came and went without any concealment, which had already caused Li You to feel a trace of dissatisfaction towards Yi Xiaochuan.
That was His Majesty's woman!
This guy was just a lecher.
"Sit down!"
Yi Xiaochuan still wanted to say something, but Meng Tian finally spoke. She then cupped her hands towards Li Xiao and said,"
"This little brother did not understand Great Qin's laws and offended the Marshal. Lord Marquis, please do not blame him!
As for the Yanmen Pass…
Meng Tian pleads guilty and is willing to accept her punishment!"
"Alright, then from today onwards, we will temporarily strip Great General Meng Tian of her military authority over the Meng Army.
The military power of the Meng Army was temporarily handed over to Li You.
Meng Tian temporarily served as Li You's deputy general. Is that okay?”
"Meng Tian, accept your orders!"
Yi Xiaochuan sat down indignantly.
However, he looked at Li You, who had a serious expression on his face, with dissatisfaction.
As for Li Xin, he didn't care about him at all.
He also didn't notice that Yu Shu was staring at Li Xiao with an infatuated gaze.
Li Xiao nodded and suddenly announced,"
"Oh right, there's one more thing.
In fact, the Princess Tu An Yu Shu that His Majesty married this time was prepared to be given to me.
She will be my wife in the future.
Therefore, I will send someone to protect Princess Yu Shu.”
As he spoke, Li Xiao seemed to be hinting at something,"
"It is also to prevent some little scoundrels from having ideas about this marquis madam.”
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Later, you can choose a few elite assassins to protect Princess Yu Shu.”
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
"Impossible?"
As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, Yi Xiaochuan stood up from his seat with a look of disbelief on his face as he shouted.
Li You and Li Xin frowned.
As for Meng Tian, she could not help but reveal a look of dissatisfaction. She did not understand what was wrong with Yi Xiaochuan today. He actually went against the Commander-in-chief, Li Xiao.
"Sit down."
Yi Xiaochuan said in disbelief,"
"Big brother?"
"I said I want you to sit down!"
