Wandering the Heavens

"General Meng Yi, may I ask why a simple person like me, a person from Yelang, would go and kill the Tuan tribe you mentioned in the name of the Qin Dynasty?" Yu Xian felt that it was not enough and stepped on it.

Everyone present reacted and wondered what Yu Xian's purpose was in doing these things. Was he too idle?

If he were a citizen of the Qin Dynasty, he could say that he was seeking revenge for the people who were captured, but he was not a citizen of the Qin Dynasty at all!

"Sir, I think as long as we catch him and torture him, he will confess." Yi Xiaochuan was a little lacking in confidence.

It is true that Yu Xian ordered the kidnapping of Queen Tuan and the massacre of King Tuan. That sentence is the evidence, but this evidence cannot be made public. Even if it is made public, no one will believe it.

"General Meng Yi, even if you are a general of the Qin Dynasty, you are still subject to the laws of the Qin Dynasty. If you have evidence that I committed a crime, please show it to me. Otherwise, it would be a false accusation. I don't need to explain in detail what the crime is for accusing someone in the Qin Dynasty!"

Looking at Yu Xian's smug look, Yi Xiaochuan wanted to whip him a few times.

"General Meng Yi, Mr. Yu is right. When you were in charge of the palace guards, you did your job conscientiously. But why did you lose control after Queen Tuan got into trouble?" Fusu was pedantic but not stupid.

When Yi Xiaochuan was still thinking about how to explain, a cough was heard. It turned out that Meng Tian was walking towards him with the support of his family members. It seemed that the poison had penetrated into his bones and he would not live long.

"See you, sir!"

When Fusu saw Meng Tian coming, he quickly dismounted and helped him up as he was about to salute.

"General Meng is seriously ill and should be resting. Why is he outside?"

"Thank you for your concern, sir. Today, Meng Yi offended you and the distinguished guests. It is a sin. Meng Tian has to come." Meng Tian turned around and shouted at Yi Xiaochuan who was still riding on his horse: "Meng Yi, get off the horse for me!"

"Brother, he was the one who killed Yu... Concubine Li's parents!" Yi Xiaochuan was extremely angry.

Fusu's face turned ugly when he heard this. As a man who attached great importance to etiquette, he could not tolerate Yi Xiaochuan having such thoughts about his stepmother.

"Shut up! It is a fact that King Tuan's tent crossed the Great Wall several times to plunder Daqin. Prime Minister Li and Prince Zhao have also found out that Tuan has always had ill intentions towards Daqin. It's just that it concerns Daqin's face and has not been made public. Daqin's enemies... should not be alive!" Meng Tian was already struggling to speak.

"I don't care whether they are enemies of the Qin Dynasty or not!" Yi Xiaochuan spoke without thinking in anger.

"You...you..." Meng Tian was so angry that he vomited black blood and fainted.

The family general quickly supported Meng Tian, and the scene became a mess.

In the end, Yu Xian volunteered, saying that he knew some medical skills, and had Meng Tian brought into the inn for treatment. Yi Xiaochuan was furious when he saw Yu Xian busying around.

"Mr. Yu, how is General Meng Tian?" Prince Fusu was extremely uneasy.

"Prince Fusu, General Meng Tian... don't have much time left." Yu Xian told the truth.

Before Fusu could say anything, Yi Xiaochuan rushed in and pointed at Yu Xian and yelled, "Get out of here! You don't have to pretend to be a good person. My brother is in good health, and you are the one who plotted against him under the pretext of treating him."

After saying this, he ordered the female slave to take the unconscious Meng Tian away, and even Fusu couldn't stop him.

"Sir, how did Brother Yi become like this?" Xiaoyue, who had been pretending to be invisible, couldn't help but ask after everyone left.

"It's not that he became like this. It's that he has always been this kind of person. Xiaoyue, remember, family, country and the world will always be more important than love! Everyone who comes to this world always leaves something behind." Yu Xian said earnestly.

"Sir, are you talking about Brother Yi..." Xiaoyue felt cold all over.

"Yes, he and Concubine Li in the palace knew each other in King Tuan's tent. Yi Xiaochuan fell in love with her because of her beauty, but King Tuan wanted to make sure that General Meng Tian was guarding the Great Wall and prevented them from crossing the Great Wall to plunder the Qin Dynasty, so he gave his daughter Yu Shu, now Concubine Li, to the Emperor. After charming His Majesty with her beauty, he tried to get rid of General Meng Tian." Yu Xian told King Tuan's plan.

"Who would have thought that on the way to Xianyang, Yu Shu actually fell in love with Yi Xiaochuan. Queen Tuan saw that her daughter had not asked the emperor to kill Meng Tian, so she came to Xianyang under the pretext of visiting relatives to urge him. As a result, she fell into the hands of the bad guys and even the royal tent was slaughtered."

"So, Concubine Li fell ill every other day after entering the palace. Is it because she was separated from Brother Yi?" Xiaoyue asked.

"Did Yi Xiaochuan often ask you to bring something to Concubine Li? That was the letters they exchanged. If I hadn't happened to see you in the hall that day, you would have been executed by now." Yu Xian added.

Once Yu Shu's identity is exposed, she will be safe for the time being for the sake of the emperor's face, but anyone who has come into contact with her will certainly not have a good ending. What's more, Xiaoyue, as a tool for her to contact Yi Xiaochuan, must be controlled and dealt with immediately.

After seeing and hearing what she had seen since leaving Xianyang, and considering Yu Xian's teachings, Xiao Yue now felt that the relationship between Yi Xiaochuan and Yu Shu was ridiculous and dangerous.

"Sir, Xiaoyue has learned a lesson!"

"That's not necessary. As my disciple, it is my duty to teach you. I will take you to meet my senior brothers and sisters, as well as a special person, in the future." Yu Xian waved his hand.

Because of the need to guard the Great Wall for a long time, Meng Tian had a mansion in Fushi. When he woke up, he saw Prince Fusu walking around in the room, but Yi Xiaochuan was not there.

"Son!"

Fusu was very surprised to hear this powerful voice.

"General Meng Tian, you are fully recovered!"

"Meng Tian thanks you for your concern, but I'm afraid I can't serve you anymore!" Meng Tian struggled to get up and saluted. He felt his life slipping away quickly.

"General, why do you say that? I still want to return to Xianyang with you!" Fusu also realized something.

"Meng Tian has failed to live up to your high expectations in this life. If there is an afterlife, Meng Tian will definitely serve you at all times. I hope you will not mind my brother Meng Yi and forgive his words and deeds. He still has a long way to go. The Meng family army needs a general to lead them. He is the only one left in the Meng family." Meng Tian said as he knelt down towards Fusu, his forehead touching the ground.

"General, there is no need to do this. Please stand up, please stand up!" Fusu stretched out his hand to help Meng Tian up, but when he touched his arm, he found that he had no breathing and pulse.

"Come here, draft a memorial. General Meng Tian... General Meng Tian was seriously injured in the battle with the Xiongnu and died. I request that my father send Feng Chang to take charge of the affairs after his death. In addition, General Meng Yi is loyal and kind, and is knowledgeable about military strategies. I request that he take over General Meng Tian's position and guard the Great Wall."

Fusu suppressed his grief and gave instructions to the accompanying staff and Meng Tian's family generals. Although his tone was controlled, his tears flowed like water from the eaves on a rainy day.

The death of Meng Tian made Fusu feel like the sky had fallen. If his teachers told him what kind of monarch he should be, Meng Tian was his most steadfast partner and sharpest sword.

But now Meng Tian has left me! What should I do in the future?

The staff following Fusu and Meng Tian's family generals were busy running around. Some were writing memorials, some were cleaning Meng Tian's body, and some were preparing burial clothes.

Yi Xiaochuan walked in cautiously holding a cup.

"Brother, I spent a lot of time preparing this medicine. Fortunately, I read a book called 100,000 Whys before I came here. This thing called penicillin will definitely be able to cure the poison in your body!"
