Chapter 677 The Scandalous Male Protagonist in the Legend of Concubine Li
Chapter 677 The Scandalous Male Protagonist in the Legend of Concubine Li
"How far is it from Yanmen Pass to Tunliu County, Shangdang County?" Xiaoyu asked after getting back on the road.
Monhomet on horseback calculated and said, "It's at least more than 4,000 miles."
Then he said helplessly: "Shangdang County is relatively close to the border. The snow will stop in two days. If the fairy goes out for a walk, she will definitely meet civilians from counties thousands of miles away near the military camp.
For example, in Hanoi and Sanchuan areas.
There was no way out. For five consecutive years, the Hu people came knocking on the pass every year.
From Liaodong to Jiuyuan, the Great Wall is 20,000 to 30,000 miles long, and there are dozens of checkpoints. Soldiers and people are needed everywhere. "
Xiao Yu asked again: "How much loss would there be if we transported the food from thousands of miles away to here with only the help of laborers?"
This time Monjo hesitated.
This is considered one of the Qin Dynasty's more advanced military secrets.
"For the same 10,000 miles, some places can be transported by river or highway, and 30 dan of grain can be transported to the Great Wall.
If there were no highways, or if there were fewer highways, the loss would be as high as 200 to 1. For every 200 dan of barley, 199 dan would be lost on the road. Or even more. He still told the truth.
She even used her precious magic elixir to save an ordinary civilian, so she must not be a spy.
Xiao Yu frowned and said, "Doesn't the Qin Dynasty have a flying boat for transporting supplies?"
"Oh, fairy, are you talking about the Yunxiao Flying Boat?" Meng Huo asked.
"Well, it uses the strong wind and clouds as buoyancy to hold up a huge low-altitude ship. It can deliver 10,000 stones of food at a time, and its speed is only slightly slower than a galloping horse." Xiao Yu said.
This was the news she had only come across after she became the Prime Minister of Western Shu—she heard Zhao Ke muttering when they were moving the giant corpse of the goblin.
Monjo hesitated again.
This issue involves important secrets of the Qin court.
"Seven years ago, the Queen Mother ordered the dismantling of all the flying boats."
He only talked about the result, not the reason.
"Demolished? Not even out of service?" Xiao Yu asked in surprise, "The Queen Mother Zhao's head was squeezed by the door panel?"
This is a bit outrageous, especially in public.
The Meng family army already had a lot of resentment towards Queen Dowager Zhao, so Meng Huo naturally would not contradict Fairy Feiyu for her.
But he couldn't reply to her words, so he just said: "Not only the Yunxiao Flying Boat, but many mechanical beasts related to Taoism in the court have been dismantled. There must be some unavoidable reasons.
If you have any questions, you can ask the immortal masters later, or you can talk to General Meng in private."
He knew some things, but because of his low position, it was difficult for him to say.
Asking the Immortal Master is a communication between fellow Taoists, and asking Meng Yi. Who can cause trouble for Meng Yi in the Meng family army?
Xiaoyu nodded and stopped talking, just looking around at the fields and houses.
There is still a big difference between it and Western Shu.
The houses here are basically small castles, which can be considered as fortresses.
The fortress does not exist independently, but is combined together in the shape of three elements.
If the distance between three docks is within five miles, they form the "Small Three Talents".
When it reaches ten miles away, it forms the Big Three Elements, or forms the "Small Five Elements" with more forts based on the mountains, rivers, forests, plains, and valleys.
Dai County was even larger and comparable to the county seat of Western Shu.
The height and thickness of the city wall are no different from those of Yingxiang Mansion.
However, the soldiers standing proudly on the city wall against the wind and snow, and the fine iron crossbows shining with a cold light, showed a kind of iron-bloodedness and bravery that was completely absent in Western Shu.
Even from a distance, Xiaoyu felt a physical and spiritual discomfort.
The evil spirit is too strong.
The evil spirit in the army suppressed the "immortal spirit" in her body and the mental strength that made her exhausted.
Xiaoyu saw a reed shed on the roadside outside the city, but there was no one inside.
Meng Huo got off his horse, whispered a few words to the city gate officer, then returned to Xiao Yu and said, "Fairy Fei Yu, General Meng is waiting for you in the back hall. The banquet has already begun, and you are the only one missing."
——The immortals that we were waiting for, such as the Cockscomb Fairy, have arrived! We didn’t wait for you to delay the start of the banquet, so please make do with it. While the food and drinks are still hot, please take your seat!
Xiaoyu seemed to see another Menghuo shouting these words to her.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Now that it's snowing heavily, will the Huns outside the pass retreat?"
Meng Huo said: "Some of them retreated, but 40,000 elite cavalry were left behind."
"Will they attack the city on a snowy day?" Xiaoyu asked again.
In the previous life, anyone who asked this kind of question would be an idiot.
But she saw with her own eyes that Meng Huo and other Qin light cavalry came and went freely in the heavy snow.
Both the horses and the people were vigorous and energetic, without any sign of fatigue.
The Huns outside the Great Wall were probably more adapted to the harsh and cold environment.
Meng Huo thought for a moment and said, "We probably have to wait until the snow stops. If there hadn't been this heavy snow, they would still have attacked Yanmen Pass today. But there is no battle today, so I guess they have to wait for two days."
Xiao Yu said, "In that case, please help me find a quiet room first. I won't disturb General Meng and Jiguan Fairy today."
After a pause, she explained, "I am not familiar with my friends from Taiyuan. The banquet has already started, so it is not a good idea to disturb them. After two days, when we are all on the same side and facing the enemy, it will not be too late to communicate with each other."
Meng Huo moved his lips a few times, wanting to say that the food and drinks at the banquet were secondary. At this moment, General Meng and the immortal masters must be discussing how to deal with Zhang Yuan's Blood-Transforming Divine Knife.
But he thought of what she had said before: he wanted to help, but he couldn't deal with the "Blood-Transforming Divine Sword".
——There was no regret or complaint on Fairy Feiyu's face. She probably didn't blame the general for not coming out to greet her in person.
Are you worried that you won't be able to say anything, can't help, and will lose face?
She just asked when the war would begin. Does she intend to wait and see for a few days, watching the fight between Jiguan Fairy and Zhang Yuan, and then see how to help?
He thought about it and finally swallowed the persuasive words in his throat. He nodded and said, "What kind of residence do you want, fairy? I will prepare it for you immediately."
Xiao Yu said: "Just get closer to the military camp and be quieter, that'll be fine."
It's not that she is a newcomer and is naive, but she is afraid of showing weakness in front of the immortals and generals from other places.
"Face" is very important to immortals who want to live a long life. Everything else can be acquired and consumed through endless time.
Only "face" is lost and it is really lost, and time cannot dilute everything.
For example, even after 100,000 years, all the gods and immortals in the fairy world will still remember that someone gambled on God's will at the government gate and made the Jade Emperor lose face.
Immortals live long and their memories will never be lost.
So you really can’t just throw away your face. If you do, your fellow immortals will remember it for countless years.
It’s also because the Jade Emperor has been embarrassed enough times that he’s kind of used to it.
But Xiaoyu is destined to have many "godfathers".
To her, "noodles" are not as good as a bowl of cold noodles.
At another time, if Menghuo didn't take her to the fairy banquet, she would protest and scream loudly.
The truth was that she had just eaten the giant peach, and the "fairy spirit" in her body could not be completely restrained.
Even Meng Huo, a "little" human fairy, could see the auspicious aura from a long distance. You should know that she had always paid great attention to concealing her aura and hiding her form.
If she really met that group of immortal friends, would they guess that she had just taken the immortal fruit?
It would be better to find a place to practice in seclusion for a few days.
When practicing in the wilderness, it was difficult to conceal the spiritual aura on his body. When he entered a town, especially near a military camp, he used the bloody and murderous aura of the military camp to conceal it.
Just now, Xiao Yu observed the Qin soldiers on the wall of Dai County and confirmed that with this level of military evil spirit, even the clairvoyance in the sky could not see the situation inside the military camp clearly.
General Meng Yi did not wait for the "Fairy of Flying Feathers" in the reed shed outside the city, not because he knew that she was not a fairy, but because he looked down on her and treated her poorly. Judging from the current results, it was indeed a bit of a mistreatment, but this was not his intention.
He is a veteran on the battlefield and knows very well that Taoism does not equal supernatural powers.
Even if a rare person has not become an immortal, if he has two unique skills, the help he can provide to the Meng family army will be far greater than that of a real immortal.
If it were another time, and he learned that a foreigner had come to the military camp to help fight the Huns, he would definitely go out of the city to greet him and give him a warm welcome.
Yesterday I was simply too busy to handle everything.
The Fairy Cockscomb, who was solemnly invited, has arrived in Dai County with the "Four Crouching Tiger Immortals".
There was no way he wouldn't accompany them, so he stayed in the reed shed, waiting for a strange Qigong practitioner.
So, the next morning, after inspecting the military camp, he took the initiative to visit "Flying Feather Fairy".
"I was not polite yesterday and treated you badly. I hope you will forgive me."
When they met, the second in command of the Meng family army was humble, with an apologetic smile on his face, and he bent down and bowed slightly.
"General, you are too polite. General Menghuo has taken good care of me. I like this courtyard very much." Xiaoyu also returned the salute solemnly.
Then he took a closer look at the legendary "Father of Marquis Lieyang".
Well, the "rumored father" of Lieyang Hou Yu Yu and the "rumored boyfriend" of his mother Concubine Li is the General Meng Yi in front of him.
All the nobles in Xianyang City knew about it.
Xiaoyu unconsciously compared him with "Yi Xiaochuan" in the TV series in his previous life.
In fact, Yu Yu’s life experience is more like "Jing Tianming" in "The Legend of Qin".
Perhaps it is more complicated than Jing Tianming's life experience.
Yu Yu stayed in Daqin and became a marquis!
Meng Yi has more than just scandals.
Even in faraway Western Shu, even the common people of Western Shu, knew that General Meng Yi of the Meng Family Army was the "white jade pillar supporting the sky" of the Qin Empire.
Didn’t “Gangqi Boss” Ge Qing receive an offer from “Yumen Guard”?
The literal meaning of "Yumenwei" is "soldiers guarding Yumen Pass", but in fact its original meaning is the "Meng Family Army" of Yumen Pass.
The two heroes of the Meng family, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, were both "generals" of the Qin Dynasty.
When Emperor Ren Zheng was still alive, Meng Tian was away and Meng Yi went to the court to serve the Emperor.
After Emperor Ren Zheng died, Meng Yi was sent to the border to guard the Great Wall.
The Meng family army was not stationed at Yumen Pass at all times. The entire Great Wall defense line was the responsibility of the "Great Wall Corps".
The Meng Family Army and the Wang Family Army are the two main components of the Great Wall Legion.
All I can say is that gossip is human nature.
When Xiao Yu met Meng Yi, the real noble of the Qin Dynasty, the first thing he thought of was the scandal about him.
Meng Yi's appearance was considered good, with a full forehead, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a nose like a hanging gall bladder, a slightly oval face, a very tough appearance, and neatly trimmed beards on his upper and lower lips. He was energetic, and his aura was restrained and powerful.
He is not an immortal, he does not have any immortal charm or immortal spirit in his body, but he has a very strong evil spirit.
He is 100% an immortal warrior who has refined the evil energy of the earth.
But the feeling he gave her (the sense of crisis) was almost comparable to that of the Golden Eagle King.
You have to know that he only brought two followers with him at this time, instead of forming a military formation with tens of thousands of Meng family cavalry.
Even if his brain was stuck in the door, he knew that Meng Yi must be extremely skilled in military formations.
Only in the military formation is he the most dangerous and powerful.
Xiaoyu was looking at Meng Yi, and Meng Yi was also looking at Xiaoyu.
The first time he saw her, he frowned slightly: Meng Huo said that she was full of fairy spirit, and the auspicious light on her head could be seen from more than ten miles away, so why is she so ordinary now?
Not to mention the colorful auspicious light on her head, there wasn't even a trace of fairy energy around her at this moment.
Take a closer look at her appearance and temperament
Meng Yi was slightly surprised again, and felt that she was inexplicably familiar.
Not only the appearance seemed familiar to him, but even the aura. Not the "internal energy" but the blood energy, also seemed familiar to him.
Is this an acquaintance?
I don’t know him at all!
Meng Yi subconsciously raised his right hand and reached towards his chest, trying to grab the "Sun and Moon Mirror" hidden under his clothes.
But halfway through the action, he changed his posture slightly stiffly and said with a smile: "Fairy Feiyu, are you familiar with Yanmen Pass and the Great Wall Army?"
