Chapter Seventy-Nine: Negotiations
After half a month of wandering, Zou Yan finally tasted the world again. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info sitting and walking is no longer confined to that narrow carriage, and a feeling of prisoner being released arises spontaneously.
The Sword Pavilion in the early morning was full of water vapor, and the sun had just risen with a red glow. It's so round and cute, so vibrant. As if the heat had nothing to do with it, it shone through the clouds and mist with ten thousand golden rays, shining in this courtyard.
Perhaps in order to shade and enjoy the shade, a lot of bamboo was planted in the yard. The bamboo roots are slender, like the waist of a beautiful woman. Looking back at the beautiful maid she brought over, she still had a little more ruggedness in the northwest. It's better to be a beautiful maid who just came to serve tea, and her slender waist is like this bamboo joint, and Yingying can hold it. When it came to the lower body, it suddenly became bigger, and the taste was to be well digested tonight.
I have been staying in the Sword Pavilion for two days, and the fatigue of the journey is gone. In its place, there is an endless sense of freshness, an unfamiliar local customs. The strange and exotic environment opened a new door for Zou Yan, through the crack in the door. You can see the customs of Shu and the richness of Shu.
A little guy ran over and saluted Zou Yan and said, "Sir, my master explains." Today, General Meng Da will bring his wife to visit, please make preparations as soon as possible. ”
"Oh, got it!" Zou Yan casually threw a copper ingot to the little guy and sent him away.
Women and birds actually have similar preferences, that is, they like shiny things. It is as if the diamonds of the Hereafter are eternal, and one goes bankrupt. This glass bead is comparable to a diamond in the Warring States Period, and its lethality to women is not ordinary. That Meng Yi's concubine saw this bead, and if she didn't help immediately, she would go out of the ghost.
The way to deal with Meng Yi has long been stored in the stomach. It depends on how it is released today, but as long as Meng Yi is willing to come. Zou Yan was eighty percent sure that Meng Yi would fall into his hub. Tell the cooks who come with him to prepare a table of food to the best of his ability. Then he lay on the bamboo chair, watched the rising sun, and continued to refine his ideas.
The breakfast was plentiful, and there was a tough battle to be fought today, and it was necessary to eat well. The sweet rice porridge is much better than the millet porridge in the northwest. Leeks are also produced in Shuzhong, and people with fresh buns filled with leeks and eggs can swallow their tongues into their stomachs. There is also an unknown mushroom filling, which is tender, smooth, sweet and delicious, and seems to be no worse than the leek filling. The craftsmanship of the Yun family's chef will definitely not disappoint, it seems that Meng Yi is a bastard today.
Just after the morning, a group of people came in front of the door. There is no Qin Qing's old armor, and there is no legendary beautiful concubine. There is only a group of fierce gods and evil helmets, Qiu Ba, and Meng Yi, who walks like a dragon.
"Stand up!" A guy who looked like a lieutenant was very dissatisfied with Zou Yan still lying on the bamboo chair, and the whip in his hand was ready to be pulled down at any time. The servants in this courtyard seem to have the same virtue as the master's house, and the average person sees a heavily armed soldier. I was already scared and screaming, and the yard was all over the place. Unexpectedly, the servants here treated the soldiers as nothing. What to do, what are you still doing. The lieutenant felt that his dignity had been challenged by the greatest challenge of his career.
"What if the old man doesn't stand up, don't make noise. Isn't it that Meng Yi is here, the spectrum is quite big, do you want the old man to go out to greet him in person? The old man came to save his life, not to be pickled by him. Zou Yan leaned back on the recliner with his legs cocked. At this time, his spectrum is bigger than anyone else! The lieutenant was almost fainted with anger, and the whip in his hand was raised and said: "Call the general by his name, you should be beaten!" As he spoke, he pulled the whip in his hand.
The whip didn't fall in the end, and a big thick hand gripped the captain's wrist. The lieutenant looked back angrily, and the anger immediately ran away from the clouds.
Meng Yi looked at Zou Yan with a smile and said, "Sure enough, it's Mr. Zou Yan, you're here!" You all go down! Meng Yi waved his hand, and the soldiers retreated like a tide. Only the captain was left standing behind Meng Yi, looking at Zou Yan with an unkind face. I don't know who this guy is, the spectrum is so big. Even Chang Wenjun, the filial piety queen, doesn't seem to be so good.
"Don't dare to be a big driver, don't be cooked by General Meng." Zou Yan just hugged his fist at Meng Yi, looking extremely arrogant. He knew that Meng Yi wanted to give him a disadvantage just now. I also blame myself for being negligent, glass beads are not produced except for Pingliang. As long as he asked the concubine and Ding Jia slightly, he naturally knew that he had come to the Sword Gate.
Since we want to talk, of course, we must take the initiative. I don't dare to fight with a killing stick, but I can't avoid getting off the horse. Zou Yan just didn't eat him, and treated these soldiers as air. I don't believe it, Meng Yi really dares to do anything to himself. Sure enough, he guessed correctly, and Meng Yi braked the car at the last moment. This is enough to prove that Meng Yi does not want to stiffen the relationship. In this troubled world, everyone wants to leave a way back for themselves, and Meng Yi is naturally no exception.
Meng Yi didn't have a good impression of the Yun family, but at least he didn't have much grudges. The charges of killing Meng Tian and Fusu were easily pushed on Zhao Tuo's body by Yun Yue. Now this guy is being sent to Pingliang, and I don't know if Zhang Jia will steam him or braise him. Anyway, with Zhang Jia's short-term temperament, this guy killed Yu Ji. If you want to mix euthanasia, it is estimated that it is impossible.
"Mr. said with a smile, Mr. is a great talent who spans six countries. Now that he is listening to the errand under the cloud waiting seat, Meng Yi is too late, let alone offended. I don't know what Mr. is doing when he comes to my Sword Gate? The words were polite, but the tone was as cold as ice. Although you Zou Yan are a well-known figure in Pingliang, now this sword gate is Lao Tzu's one-third of an acre. Your B pretending seems to be a bit excessive.
"General Meng is angry? Well, since the old man is in the land of General Mengda. Naturally, you have to be respectful to the general, come here, serve tea! General Meng, you may be seated. Zou Yan sat up and made a gesture of please. Unexpectedly, Meng Yi refused to sit down, and a cold gaze shot out of the tiger's eyes. It seems that if he doesn't agree with a word, he will drag Zou Yan out and chop him into meat puree. It is important to leave a way back, but you Zou Yan seems to be a little too good. After all, this is still Lao Tzu's sword gate. Here, Lao Tzu is the boss.
"General Meng may not know that the old man has been worshiped as a pawn by the regent Pingliangjun. is one of the nine Qings, and he should not lose his identity as a general on an equal footing with General Meng. Zou Yan saw that Meng Yi was about to get angry, and said unhurriedly.
"What do you say? Regent Ping Liangjun? Meng Yi said with some surprise.
In these years, the consultation is extremely underdeveloped, and his Meng family's manpower in Xianyang has been scattered, and the Golden Bull Road has been sealed again. What happened in Xianyang, Meng Yi still doesn't know. Now when he heard it from Zou Yan's mouth, he was naturally surprised. Just when he left Xianyang, Pingliang Yunyue was still Daqin's worst enemy. The eldest brother Meng Tian and the eldest son Fusu led an army of 400,000 to confront the northwest lions. How could it take a few months for Yun Yue to actually arrive in Xianyang, and it was still a bird regent. Could it be that Xianyang is Yun Yue in charge, so where did Zhao Gao go?
A series of questions lay Meng Yi's mind was a little messy, and he took a deep breath. Reluctantly sat in front of Zou Yan, and the beautiful maid brought a cup of tea. The turquoise tea soup is poured into the pottery cup, and a fresh fragrance comes to the face.
But now, even if he drinks the Nine Heavens Jade Dew, he can't arouse the slightest interest in Meng Yi. The ignorance of the situation made him a little dazed. He wanted to know what Xianyang was like, but he didn't know how to speak. Because he knew that as long as he opened his mouth, Zou Yan would take advantage of it. A person like Zou Yan, as long as he is given a gap the size of a needle nose, he can tear open the big hole and come out.
What kind of person is Zou Yan, his eye hair is hollow. As soon as he saw Meng Yi's appearance, he knew that the first opportunity had come. No matter how hard he held on just now, he actually didn't fall to the bottom in his heart. Now, he seemed to see a glimmer of light before dawn. Where is the reason not to refuel?
"General Meng doesn't know that my lord has taken over the Great Qin Imperial Court. was entrusted by the King of Qin as the regent, and now the head of my family is in charge of the military, political and civil affairs of Great Qin. It can be said that the lord of my family is the uncrowned king of Great Qin. Zou Yan said as he observed Meng Yi's expression.
Meng Yi tried to control his emotions, but he didn't expect things to turn so quickly. Pingliang Yunyue entered Xianyang, which means that the army that confronted Yunyue has also been liberated. In other words, only two of these hundreds of thousands of iron-blooded Qin troops, plus the tens of thousands of heroic divisions of the Yun family, went out. The first is to enter the Central Plains and engage in a large-scale battle with the Chu army. And another place to go is your own Jianmen Mountain. Thinking of the imminent arrival of tens of thousands of Qin troops, Meng Yi's face turned a little pale.
Although Jianmen Mountain is steep, the Yun family's army is also known for its ability to fight. This heroic division under the command of Yun Yue fought in the south and the north, and fought in the east and west. Even this Shu has been here, and he has not tasted defeat so far. The shadow of the famous tree of the person, the past achievements are there, and I can't help but be nervous.
However, Meng Yi, who was nervous for a while, quickly calmed down, led the soldiers for many years, and was intimidated by Zou Yan's words, what kind of general is that. But then another question appeared in my mind, where did Zhao Gao go? For Zhao Gao and Zhao Tuo, Meng Yi hated it in his bones. Breaking their corpses into thousands of pieces and scattering their bones and ashes can't relieve the hatred in their hearts.
"Needless to say, General Meng, you must want to know the whereabouts of Zhao Gao and that Zhao Tuo." Meng Yi had just spoken, and Zou Yan's words said his thoughts. There is no vanity under the fame, this Zou Yan is really smart-minded. In Meng Yi's heart, he couldn't help but admire this Zou Yan a little.
"Zhao Gao and Zhao Tuo were both taken alive, but there is no revenge for you. They were all sent to Pingliang, and Zhao Gao wanted to cut out his heart in front of Wusun Jichang's tomb. Zhao Tuo led the soldiers and killed one of Mrs. Zhang Jia's maids. The servant has made great achievements, and he is also Mrs. Zhang Jia's confidant. Presumably, the end will not be much better than Zhao Gao. Your family's grudges, my family master can be regarded as helping you avenge them. What's the matter, what else do you want to ask, Zou Yan knows everything. Zou Yan picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
Meng Yi was mixed in his heart for a while, according to Zou Yan's words. The grudges of relatives seem to be unable to be avenged by themselves, although Zhao Gao and Zhao Tuo will definitely not die well. However, I always felt hatred in my heart. But what Zou Yan said was very clear, Zhao Gao and Zhao Tuo themselves would never come. It's also to blame them for doing too many bad things, and naturally there are many people looking for revenge on them. He couldn't go to work, which made Meng Yi very depressed.
"Alright, the grudge is over. After all, it is the Great Qin Imperial Court that is sorry for your Meng family, and the master of my family is ready to exempt your Meng family from all charges. You can also be allowed to return to Xianyang, and the Meng family's property will be returned to you. Whoever robbed you, whoever took you, you can go and count it back. My lord will not help you, but he will not stop you. Great Qin is the most important law, and private fights are not allowed, you know that this is already the limit of my family master. Zou Yan cheered up, and had just broken through Meng Yi's psychological defense. Now, the most critical moment has come. Whether this trip is dead or alive depends on the following.
"That's all?" Meng Yi suddenly woke up from his resentment, this was negotiating with a person who was as cunning as a fox, how could he be distracted. Meng Yi immediately raised his vigilance!
"You can still lead troops, but the position of the commander of the forbidden army is gone. However, my lord is willing to hand over Hangu Pass to you to guard, you know that Hangu Pass is the throat of Daqin to the Central Plains. The daily volume of goods at the border is carried out, plus the caravans passing by. That's an out-and-out fat gap, how many people break their heads and want to drill into the camp. ”
"Huh! There is a fat difference, what if Meng Mou does not agree? Meng Yi said with a cold face. This is a naked interest after talking about surrender, but it must not be sloppy.
"What General Meng holds is nothing more than the precipitousness of this Sword Pavilion." Zou Yan stood up, looked at the pass not far away and said.
"Huh! Mr. Steep of the Sword Pavilion also saw it, although Meng Yi only brought 8,000 elite soldiers to garrison here. But if you want to take down the Sword Pavilion, I'm afraid it will be impossible not to pile up the corpses as high as the city wall. Meng Yi also stood up and said confidently.
"This Sword Pavilion is majestic, if it is another family's army attacking the city. Perhaps, as the general said, it must be filled with human lives. But you have forgotten when the Yun family has ever lost a battle. Your steep pass is not a problem at all in front of the Yun family. Zou Yan glanced at Meng Yi with slanted eyes, now is the time to see the dagger, and he can't back down at all.
"Huh! knew that the soldiers of the Pingliang Yun clan were brave and good at fighting the world, but Meng Yi still didn't believe what Mr. said. Meng Yi turned around and sneered, this Zou Yan dared to bluff anything. Did he forget that he was also a general? I don't understand anything else, this military matter is clear.
"Okay, the old man will let General Meng take a look. How did the Yun family break through your Xiongguan in the end! You see what that is? Zou Yanji pointed to the door and said.
