Seven days later, a group of people with black dragon flags entered Xianyang.
"Eldest Young Master, we will definitely be able to enter the city before sunset! This year, he might be able to celebrate the New Year in Xianyang.”Meng Tian giggled as she rode on her horse.
This time, he would be proud to return to Xianyang!
It was not only because of his contributions in chasing the Xiongnu to the north, but also because of the political enemy of the Meng family, Zhao Gao, who was chopped up and fed to the dogs by the First Emperor.
The biggest threat, Huhai, was also demoted to a commoner by His Majesty.
It could be said that the Eldest Young Master, Fu Su, whom his family supported, had already waited for spring.
From the fact that he was summoned by His Majesty to Xianyang, it could be seen that His Majesty had actually sent someone to care about Fu Su's safety!
In the past, it was simply impossible.
Now, Meng Tian was also in a daze. It felt a little surreal.
"Yes, when we return to the palace, I will go and persuade Imperial Father.”Fu Su sat at the edge of the carriage and chatted with Meng Tian.
"Aiyo, my eldest son, Huhai deserved it, why are you still speaking up for him?”
"I didn't hear anyone say that he colluded with Zhao Gao to plot against His Majesty. He even wanted to pass on a false edict to force the two of us to commit suicide.”
It was obviously not the first time Meng Tian had heard Fu Su say this. She felt a headache coming on.
If it wasn't for Zhao Gao and the others 'slanderous words, Fu Su would have long been the Crown Prince.
"Sigh, the hearts of the people are unstable now. Father's every move will affect his position in the hearts of the people of the six countries.”
Fu Su expressed that after his experience in the Hetao area, he was no longer the kind of child who only cared about benevolent government.
Now, he was thinking about the long-term. For the future of Great Qin, it was not a bad idea to let Huhai return to Xianyang.
Last year, a meteorite fell in Qi and was engraved with the words " The First Emperor died and the land was divided."
This matter caused an uproar throughout the country, so Qin Shihuang had no choice but to insist on his fifth tour despite his increasingly poor health.
At the beginning of this year, someone sent a jade to Qin Shi Huang's messenger and left behind a saying that the Ancestral Dragon died this year.
Coincidentally, these statements were widely circulated in the market.
It seemed that there were people with ulterior motives behind this. It could basically be concluded that it was the remnants of the Six Nations who were behind this.
After Qin destroyed the six countries, such things were actually not uncommon.
However, the First Emperor was in his prime at that time, and the country's strength had not been weakened by the war between the Baiyue and Hetao.
This rumor naturally fell apart.
However, it was different now. Qin Shihuang was almost fifty years old. Any common people on the street knew that he was in poor health.
Some of them were weakened by years of war.
Therefore, the rumors that grew in intensity caused the hearts of the people to waver.
This was what Fu Su was most worried about.
That was why he kept sending memorials to Qin Shihuang, hoping that his father would implement benevolent policies so as to better win the hearts of the people.
"Eh? There were cavalrymen ahead? It looks like they're waiting for us?" Meng Tian frowned and looked into the distance.
After greeting Fu Su, he led a team of cavalrymen to welcome them.
"Eh? Brother Wang! Are you alright?" Meng Tian saw Wang Ben leading the team and waiting for her.
He was so surprised that he greeted her in surprise.
All the letters and servants that came from his home in the past year told him that Wang Ben was seriously ill and would pass away soon.
Now, this living person could even ride a horse alone to welcome her. Meng Tian felt like she was dreaming.
"Brother Meng, you're finally back. It's all thanks to His Majesty that he brought me to Immortal Master Su for medical treatment. Otherwise, you really wouldn't have been able to see me.”
Wang Ben said with a lingering fear.
Fortunately, as a general, he had recovered from his pneumonias and had been replenishing his vitamin C for more than 20 days.
He could already ride a horse, but at most, he didn't dare to wear armor or touch weapons.
"Immortal Master? Are there really immortals in this world?"
Meng Tian was stunned. She had thought that the rumor that the Emperor had seen an immortal was just an exaggeration.
He didn't expect that Wang Ben would say that, and that an immortal would cure him.
This made Meng Tian's mouth open in shock. She was so stunned that she didn't know what to say.
"Of course, the Celestial Master also gave us many treasures. I heard that you were coming back, so I couldn't wait to share them with you ~"
As soon as Wang Ben finished speaking, a military officer walked up to Meng Tian with a warhorse in tow and said,""General Meng, please change horses!"
"What…what do you mean?" Meng Tian narrowed her eyes and sized up the horse.
It looked like a normal military horse.
However, seeing Wang Ben's smiling face, Meng Tian decided to get on the horse.
The first step was different. There seemed to be an extra ring.
"Let's give it a try. These are the three pieces of cavalry that Celestial Master gave to Great Qin. The horseshoes can ensure that our army's horses will not be damaged in the future.”
"As for the other two, Brother Meng will understand once you try them.”
Wang Ben explained to Meng Tian with a smile, but his eyes were filled with anxiety.
He could not wait to see Meng Tian's expression when she tried the three-piece cavalry set.
"Is that true? Horseshoes can prevent hoofs from cracking? This will be a great help to Great Qin!"
When Meng Tian heard this, she was so shocked that she gritted her teeth.
As the general of the northern Xiongnu, he was naturally heartbroken by the loss of horses.
Especially when he had received more of Fusu's benevolent thoughts, he had also converted these losses into the blood and sweat of the people.
After seeing the four hoofs, he used the stirrups with the help of the officer and hung the ring-shaped saber on his hand.
" This is an all-iron broadsword…" Meng Tian was overjoyed. It felt so comfortable to hold a weapon.
Wang Ben rode behind him and whipped Meng Tian's butt,""Let's go ~"
Poor Meng Tian was not mentally prepared, and her horse had already flown out.
"Eek! Alas! F * ck!" Meng Tian walked further and further away from the three exclamations.
It was only when the Fusu convoy arrived that Meng Tian rode home from afar.
"Eldest Young Master, the heavens truly bless Great Qin!”After Meng Tian got used to the stirrups, she played with the ring-head saber in her hand for a long time.
He knew that with the stirrups, the soldiers would be able to free their hands in future battles.
An ordinary soldier could control a horse more skillfully than the Xiongnu.
If everyone had these iron sabers, Great Qin's Cavalrymen would be able to charge at Great Qin three times faster.
Fu Su only smiled and nodded to indicate that he knew about these weapons.
He felt that what Great Qin needed to do now was not to fight to the death with the Xiongnu, but to quickly resolve the internal conflicts.
Wang Ben seemed to have read Fu Su's mind, so he said,
"Eldest Young Master, Your Highness, after the guidance of Immortal Master Su Tian, His Majesty has recently intended to reduce the burden on the people. He was waiting for you to come back and discuss it.”
It was a simple sentence, but it was like a bolt from the blue, causing Fu Su's eyes to widen.
"What?" he asked in disbelief. Father is finally willing to lower taxes?”
