Meng Yi and Hu Hai certainly knew each other.
Looking at Meng Yi’s expression, he couldn’t help but feel a secret pleasure in his heart!
Taking advantage of the fact that Zhao Lang was not looking at him, Hu Hai showed a smug expression on his face and then said that
“Lord of the Two Hundred and Fifty of the Great Qin, Hai, has met with the Supreme Secretary Meng.”
After saying that, he even squinted at the other party.
Hahahaha, I didn’t expect that, right, this prince has reached two hundred and fifty lords by virtue of his military achievements!
What kind of courage and wisdom is it for an imperial son to join the army, then go through all the hardships and use real military merit to reach two hundred and fifty lords from a junior soldier?
Meng Yi nodded his head with a complicated expression.
“Well, Ah Long, you should go and see your own men first.”
With that, he left.
After Zhao Lang saluted and sent Meng Yi away, he looked slightly moved and said to Hai, who was at one side
“What brings you here?”
Hu Hai looked at the way Zhao Lang saluted Meng Yi and once again felt good in his heart.
Because when Meng Yi was in the courtroom, he had to curtsy to him, so of course he was older than Lang by that reckoning!
Hearing Zhao Lang’s question, although Hu Hai was tempted to say that it was because of my prince’s recommendation that you had the opportunity to be close to the emperor.
Unfortunately, he could not say so.
But at the thought that after the southern tour he could reveal his identity and take the other party under his command, Hu Hai’s head rose two more notches and said that
“Prodigal son… Brother, I came here on transfer orders.”
Hu Hai deliberately read the words brother and I together.
Only as soon as the words left his mouth, he was slapped on the head by Zhao Lang.
“Speak properly!”
Hu Hai instantly rubbed his head and returned, aggrieved
“Yes, Brother Lang.”
“Come, go and see our people.”
This time there were only a hundred of his men.
But Zhao Lang was not surprised, this time on his southern tour, those in charge of escorting were the First Emperor’s guards.
It was already extremely good for a general like him to lead a hundred men.
Soon, someone led them to the adjacent courtyard, which was also a small military camp.
It was only when he saw his men on this southern tour that Zhao Lang froze slightly.
The man in the courtyard was no other than his old subordinate, Li Shang.
“General!”
Li Shang shouted with extreme excitement.
Zhao Lang, however, frowned slightly, this time both he and his old man had been transferred over, and then his own men had been transferred over as well.
Calming Li Shang down, Zhao Lang quickly asked
“How is Yunzhong County?”
Li Shang, unaware of Zhao Lang’s abnormality, returned and
“General, don’t worry, everything is fine in Yunzhong, only that now that spring has started, I don’t know if those Xiongnu will send small groups of men to rob supplies.”
“But these days, we are also ready to have the farmers dig trap pits.”
This was certainly not the answer Zhao Lang wanted, so he asked in a more detailed manner
“Who is in charge of the guards in Yunzhong County now?”
Li Shang quickly responded at this point and said that
“It is Lu who is arranging things in Yunzhong right now.”
“General, don’t worry, we know about your being transferred to accompany the Emperor on his southern tour.”
“Several of the thousand generals in Yunzhong County remember you too.”
Only then did Zhao Lang nod, Yunzhong County he already saw as his own territory.
There was no way he could give it up so easily, and it was good that there was no one to take his place now.
As for the few thousand general’s remembering him, it wasn’t surprising.
Zhao Lang did not feel that his personal charm could make these people die for him.
The main thing was that those cattle and sheep on the other side could depend on him if they wanted to turn into money.
“Well, it’s good to have everyone together again, by the way, you guys haven’t missed your training, right?”
Zhao Lang said indifferently.
“No!”
Several people replied in unison.
“Very well, it’s just time to test it out over the next few days,”
Zhao Lang said with a few moments of gloom in his expression.
“This southern tour are all in good spirits.”
“Yes, General!”
For the next few days, Zhao Lang did not return to the manor either, but stayed directly in the military camp.
A few days later, a messenger brought a military order.
Only then did Zhao Long realise that the southern tour was today!
“Military order, Zhao Long, a thousand-strong general, lead his men ten miles ahead of the army and clear the way for the army to the south.”
“The last general takes orders!”
Zhao Long did not hesitate and led his men, who were already prepared, to move out immediately.
This time, there was no need for them to worry about supplies.
The counties along the way would take care of it.
When Zhao Lang led the men out of Xianyang.
He saw a majestic and solemn procession of Qin troops rushing out from the various streets of Xianyang.
Countless Xianyang people shouted Great Qin Wannian!
And the carriage of the First Emperor was in the very centre.
Such a situation was seen by Zhao Lang when he first entered Xianyang.
Only this time, he had become part of it.
Riding on his horse, Zhao Lang also received countless cheers from the Great Qin people on his way out of the city.
He could feel the pride and pride these Great Qin people felt from their hearts.
Even Zhao Lang was somewhat touched.
Indeed, these Great Qin people were entitled to be proud.
For under the whole sky, the Great Qin at this time was indeed unrivalled in the world.
Unfortunately, this pride would not last long.
As Zhao Lang stepped out of Xianyang City, he headed in the direction of Wuguan.
The news of the First Emperor’s southern tour was also officially spread throughout the world.
At the same time, all the counties along the route moved to prepare to provide supplies for the army.
—
A few days later, Si Shui Ting in Pei County.
A minor official is knocking on the door of an adobe house.
“Liu Ji! Liu Ji! Quickly open the door!”
The door opened only after the junior official had shouted for some time.
A middle-aged man dressed casually, but with a full heavenly court, sideburns, and an extremely beautiful beard came out.
Leaning against the doorframe, he looked at the petty official in front of him and yawned, saying
“What is it?”
The official, who was also an acquaintance of the other man, said.
“Liu Ji, the magistrate may have said that at this time His Majesty is on a southern tour, and we must also prepare supplies.”
“You also have an allocation for this pavilion, you prepare it early so that someone from above will come to collect it at that time. ”
Hearing these words, Liu Ji frowned and said that
“South patrol but our county ah, why do we need to prepare supplies?”
The junior official impatiently said that
“This is the order of the county magistrate, ask him, I am just telling you.”
When Liu Ji saw that the other party was annoyed, he revealed a smile and, with a movement in his hand, he took out some half taels of money from the Great Qin.
Handing it to the other party, he smiled and said that
“Take it to buy wine.”
This crude and straightforward approach caused the little official to instantly change his face for the better, smiling and whispering that
“It seems that the county government has recently lost a batch of supplies, and the county magistrate wants the supplies to be replaced.”
“Well, I won’t talk to you anymore, I have to go to another land.”
The junior official quickly left.
At this time Liu Ji was faintly thinking about something when suddenly the door behind him was opened and an old man came out.
Shouting at Liu Ji, he said
“Who was that just now, did someone shout at you to play?”
“How old are you already? You’re not productive all day, you’re idle!”
Liu Ji was so annoyed at hearing this that he walked straight towards the outside, while shouting
“ÒLu, Fan Kuai! Follow me out to have fun.”
Watching Liu Ji’s back as he left, the old man patted his thigh and sighed to
“Ugh, this no-good one!”
