Shangjun!
The newly built Great Wall stood not far away, winding along the mountains.
The majestic pass meandered endlessly as clouds scattered across the horizon.
The Great Qin Empire's Northern Corps Commander.
Great General Meng Tian was leaning against the Great Wall, her hand resting on her sword.
He looked at the grass and horses, and the setting sun on the Yellow River.
A grand, heavy, vast, and heroic aura surged from his chest.
Meng Tian was ordered to lead 300,000 Qin troops to guard the Great Wall to repel the Xiongnu.
In the blink of an eye, it had been five years since he left Xianyang.
In the past five years, the empire had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Many roads and canals were completed and put into use.
Palaces and cities rose from the ground.
As the watchman and builder of the empire, the emotions in his heart were indescribable.
However, he was also worried.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves broke the harmony in the sky. Birds and beasts took flight.
Meng Tian stood up and looked into the distance.
Through the dense branches of the tree crown, he could see the distant sky ahead.
A group of travel-worn elite cavalry trod on the wind, stirring up dust in the air.
Meng Tian looked at it for a while and her expression became serious.
They were Great Qin's Iron Eagle Warriors.
The Iron Eagle Warriors were the most elite soldiers of Great Qin, and only they could obtain this honor.
Sima Cuo followed the example of Emperor Wu of Wei and built the city after his death.
Of Great Qin's million soldiers, only 1,000 had been chosen.
The Iron Eagle Warriors were not only extraordinary in their swordsmanship.
Moreover, he had to be equally proficient in horse fighting and foot fighting, and he had to be equally skilled in any weapon.
He could be called Great Qin's Soldier King!
Only the First Emperor could mobilize these elite warriors.
Meng Tian immediately brought her men and went up to welcome them.
"Great General, Imperial Decree!"
Nine Plains Camp.
Xu Ye was brought into the Imperial Guard Palace where he had been five days ago.
At that time, he had met Fu Su and Meng Tian here and told them Ying WuXian's 'prophecy' to ask Fu Su to return to Xianyang.
Xu Ye came over with joy.
He thought that he could make a great contribution.
Damn it.
After Fu Su heard this, not only did he not return to Xianyang with him, he even said that he was spreading lies to confuse the people and disrupt the morale of the army, and wanted to behead him.
Two years ago.
When Fu Su left, the First Emperor was still young and ambitious. He told him about the preparations for the sixth southern tour.
Fu Su would never believe that in just two years, the First Emperor would die of illness.
He was even more suspicious.
There was someone in Xianyang who wanted to use this plan to transfer him back and make the First Emperor hate him even more.
After Fu Su's remonstrance failed several times and was refuted by the First Emperor, he began to reflect on the days he came to Jiuyuan.
Fusu was deeply influenced by Confucianism.
In the future, people would say that Fu Su was an idealistic and well-read literary youth.
He had never truly been on the battlefield.
He had never experienced the dangers that surrounded Qin Shi Huang when he was young.
He spent his childhood and youth in Xianyang Palace, studying with Chunyu Yue and the other doctors.
If everything went well, he could wait until the First Emperor passed away and sit on the throne safely to realize his dreams.
However, it was obvious that life would not be smooth sailing.
As the court discussed the enfeoffment and counties, the conflict between Confucianism and Legalism intensified.
There were even some inappropriate remarks that ridiculed the First Emperor and threatened his rule.
Finally, Qin Shi Huang had no choice but to make up his mind.
He had clearly established 'law' as the main ideology of the empire.
For this reason, Qin Shi Huang killed Fu Su's teacher, Chunyu Yue, and the other 460 old Confucians and alchemists.
Fu Su finally couldn't take it anymore, so he bluntly remonstrated.
"All students, recite Confucius. Now the emperor has severely punished them, and I am afraid that the world will be uneasy.”
The First Emperor was furious and sent him to Jiuyuan as a supervisor.
When Fu Su was reflecting on the past in the Nine Plains.
Every time he thought of his teacher's death, he would feel a great fear.
Would Qin Shi Huang also kill him because he hated him?
What should he do then?
Could he resist?
There were four stages in a person's life.
Her heart was higher than the sky, filled with ignorance, happiness, and hope.
It was not as good as the struggle and suffering of a queen.
Unrequited anger and disappointment.
He was calm and ordinary.
Fu Su's mentality changed when he was troubled by this.
He was no longer as excited as before.
He no longer had the courage and sharpness he had when he returned to Xianyang to participate in politics.
He was like a stone that had hit a wall. He lost his edge and became depressed and weak.
He had a deep fear and a hidden hatred for the First Emperor.
These complicated and contradictory thoughts made Fu Su extremely disgusted by Xu Ye's arrival and persuasion.
Return to Xianyang?
The scene of Chunyu Yue and the other four hundred people being killed and their blood splattering on the ground flashed before his eyes.
He would rather stay in this cold and bitter land and be friends with the world and the herdsmen.
Fortunately, Meng Tian was there.
He stopped Fu Su and persuaded him to take control of Xu Ye first before contacting his younger brother Meng Yi to ask about the situation.
If it was fake, he could hand it over to Qin Shi Huang.
If it was true…
In ancient times, communication was rather inconvenient. Even though the First Emperor had built nine roads to communicate with the world, he could only send messages on horseback.
This time, Meng Tian and Fu Su had yet to receive a reply from Meng Yi.
He first waited for the imperial edict that came from Xianyang.
There are three edicts.
One of them was given to Fusu.
"Brother WuXian sends a message: The treacherous officials have caused trouble, and Father is dead. WuXian requests to help Eldest Brother Su return to Xianyang to mourn for Father!”
The second was given to Meng Tian.
" Imperial Decree of Wuxian: Traitorous officials are causing trouble. Father is dead. Wuxian has been elected by the officials to temporarily supervise the country. At this moment, I am worried about the survivors of the six countries who colluded with the Xiongnu to go south. I request General Meng Tian to guard the border and guard the Xiongnu in the north!”
The third was given to Wang Li.
"Country Supervisor Wuxian's edict: Deputy General Wang Li, escort Eldest Young Master Fusu to Xianyang to discuss state affairs!”
It was this edict.
It allowed Xu Ye to escape and see Fu Su and Meng Tian.
There was also a secret letter from Ying WuXian.
He had read the secret letter.
Xu Ye was overjoyed, but he was also extremely regretful. He secretly cursed Tian Zhong for being unkind.
He looked at Fu Su, who had obviously cried and was in low spirits, and said,""Young Master Fu Su, this matter is urgent. Please hurry up and leave!”
Fu Su sat behind the desk, his eyes blank and dazed. He turned a deaf ear.
Seeing this, Meng Tian sighed.
He pulled Wang Li and whispered," Little General Wang, I don't know what happened in the court. Escort the young master back to the court and try your best to protect him!"”
"Don't worry, Duke Meng. If I live, Young Master Fusu will live!”Wang Li said sternly.
That day.
a solitary smoke under the setting sun.
Over a hundred cavalry, each with three horses, left the Jiuyuan camp.
