Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 28: Tenderness from the Qin Dynasty, dedicated to your future self!

"can!"

"My Meng family's ancient books say that the old senior is not bound by rules. He won't care about these little things. Let's open it."

Meng Xing took a deep breath.

Li Junxian was delighted and quickly ordered: "Quick! Give the box to Brother Meng!"

The Jinwu Guard nodded: "I obey your orders."

He handed the box to Meng Xing.

Meng Xing didn't open it right away, feeling a little unconfident, but his face was eager to try: "This box... I don't know if I can open it, I have to try. My family taught me this, I should be able to open it."

Li Junxian smiled and said, "Then let's give it a try."

Meng Xing nodded without saying anything more.

He began to frown and ponder, constantly fiddling with the mechanism above.

This is a very complicated Luban lock.

It took Meng Xing a full quarter of an hour to finish it, sweating profusely.

"opened."

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and it looked like it was not easy.

Li Junxian nodded: "Brother Meng, thank you for your hard work."

He took the box and opened it slowly.

As it continued to open, a quaint "creaking" sound, as if coming from history, continued to be heard.

And when it is fully opened.

It was filled with bamboo slips.

"Bamboo slips? Not gold, silver or jewelry?"

Li Junxian was a little surprised.

He had thought that what was locked up so solemnly would be gold or silver.

Shake his head.

Think no more.

Li Junxian glanced at Meng Xing, and after getting Meng Xing's nod, he picked up a bamboo slip and opened it.

[Sir, personally, but perhaps it was not you who opened it. After all, you forget things too easily. Even if it was not you, this Luban lock can only be opened by you, and the Meng family will give it to you.]

boom!
Opening lightning strike!
Li Junxian widened his eyes and stared at him intently.

This…this, this, this!
This is obviously the letter left by Zulong!
Meng Xing and others nearby were also stunned.

They could never have imagined that there would be a letter left by Zulong inside!

"Brother Meng, this letter is too important. It should be opened by your Meng family."

Li Junxian handed the bamboo slips to Meng Xing solemnly.

Although Zulong is dead, Li Junxian believes that some things still need to be respected.

after all….
He was also a powerful ruler and the ancestor of this land.

What's wrong with respecting our ancestors?
"it is good!"

Meng Xing took it with both hands, feeling relieved.

Subsequently,

Open slowly.

[Unconsciously, it has been the second year since you fell asleep. I miss you a little. After all, you have been with me from my childhood to my adulthood. It is hard to adapt to your sudden absence.]

[So, I brought some people to come and comfort you, and at the same time... I also left this bamboo slip for you. ]

[Sir, since you left, Daqin has been thriving steadily, and everything is worry-free. Besides... well, forget it, I don't have anything to say. Well, actually there are too many juniors here, and I don't know what to say for a moment. ]

[In short, I hope you will wake up in the future and keep an eye on the descendants of the Qin family for me.]

[If he is unfilial, or leads the Qin Empire astray, he can fulfill my father's responsibilities for me.]

The bamboo slips end here.

After reading,
Meng Xing sighed, and so did Li Junxian and others beside him.

They only knew the name of Zulong before, but didn't know what kind of person he was.

This bamboo slip made them all realize that this Qin tyrant who was now widely known in the Tang Dynasty and even in all dynasties... was actually not as violent as imagined.

Then, Meng Xing opened the second bamboo slip. [Sir, this is your disciple Fusu!]

[Today, my father asked a group of elders and a junior like me to visit you. I thought it would not be my turn soon, but I didn't expect my father to let me come directly. ]

[Sir, I am still learning your philosophy, which is to have a domineering heart, but... I can't learn it. I feel that Confucianism is more suitable for me.]

[Uh, I am only telling you this in secret. Father and the others don’t know. On the surface, I am still learning your philosophy, but in fact, the more I learn, the more uncomfortable I feel. So I am secretly learning Confucianism in private.]

[Only by learning the Confucian philosophy can I feel that the world is vast and the sea is wide. Perhaps my personality is like this and I cannot learn your philosophy.]

[Sir, don't blame me, I...I tried my best. ]

……

The second set of bamboo slips ends here.

Li Junxian watched and couldn't calm down for a long time.

He sighed and said, "If the eldest son of the First Emperor had learned the ideas of the elders, would the Qin Dynasty not have perished in the second generation?"

The words fell.

Everyone was silent.

Then, Meng Xing sighed and said, "Maybe, but it has already happened after all."

Li Junxian smiled helplessly: "Yes~Yes..."

Just finished,
He felt that he had taken the atmosphere to a different direction, and hurriedly said, "Ahem, well, quick, Brother Meng, get the next one!"

Meng Xing nodded: "Okay!"

He opened the third bamboo slip.

[Sir, I, General Meng Tian, ​​am here to see you. 】

Meng Tian….
Looking at this, which had been recorded in ancient books and even by countless members of the Meng family, who had instilled in them the idea that they were descendants of the Meng family since childhood, Meng Xing's eyes actually became slightly moist when he saw the "living" Meng Tian.

The same was true for Meng Yuan next to him.

The two seemed to be in some kind of melancholy mood, so Meng Xing did not open the second page of the bamboo slips for a long time.

Li Junxian and others,
I didn't care about it and just stood there quietly waiting.

They all know,
When the two members of the Meng family saw their ancestors, it was impossible for them to remain calm.

I don’t know how long it has been,
Maybe it was a few minutes, or maybe it was a century for the two people from the Meng family.

Anyway,

Meng Xing turned over a new page.

[Sir, I have promised Your Majesty that my family will protect you and guide you to the dynasty that will be awakened in the future.]

[The person who might see this bamboo slip is a member of my family. After all, you are forgetful and ignore details. If a member of my family sees this bamboo slip…]

[I'm sorry, my descendants. It's my fault that our ancestors made you bear such a heavy burden.]

[But there is no way. The master is prone to getting lost. I am worried if there is no one to watch over him. The master is a person with poor directions. Perhaps you, the descendants, cannot imagine how bad he is at directions.]

[The first time we met, I brought my husband to the Imperial City of Xianyang. However, he got lost right under my nose and even got lost.]

[He, the old man... Well, I won't say anything. I can only say that God is fair. While giving Mr. a strong ability, he also made him confused about many things. Please, please keep an eye on Mr. for me, and for His Majesty... for the future of the Qin Dynasty, please protect Mr. more.]

[Sir, please take care of yourself on your way to eternal life and don't miss us from the past. ]

Meng Xing's eyes moistened when he saw this, and tears actually fell: "No, ancestor, you are right, you are right...Looking at the old senior, it is an honor for our Meng family."

"Don't worry, ancestor. My Meng family will definitely lead this generation of Meng family members to continue to protect the old seniors."

He murmured, and also strengthened his heart.

Subsequently.

Open the fourth bamboo slip.

Compared with the previous three bamboo slips, the handwriting on this one is crooked, and it is obvious that it is the handwriting of a beginner.

[Hehe, Dad! It’s my turn, it’s my turn. Yaoyao is here to see you! ]

[Hmph! Just now, my eldest brother said that Yaoyao is the youngest and should write a bamboo slip for you last. Damn, Yaoyao is not young at all. After pestering Uncle Ying Zheng for a while, Uncle Ying Zheng agreed to let Yaoyao come over! ]

[Dad~ Yaoyao is the fourth one to write you a bamboo slip. General Meng is the third and Yaoyao is the fourth. This means Yaoyao is older than the eldest brother and the second brother! Humph~ Proud and supportive! ]

[That’s right, Dad, Yaoyao can write now. Uncle Ying Zheng just said that he wanted someone to write for Yaoyao, but Yaoyao doesn’t want that. Yaoyao can write, and she’s really good at it!]

[It's a pity you didn't see it, Dad~ They all said you went far away, when will you come back? If you don't come back, the eldest brother and the second brother always say Yaoyao is stupid, and no one supports Yaoyao! ]

[Yaoyao looked carefully when I came today. We haven't seen each other for more than a year. Why did you go so far away? Why haven't you come back for more than a year? Yaoyao... I miss you. ]
