Wandering the Heavens

"What are you doing?" Yi Xiaochuan looked at the people coming and going, confused.

"General Meng Tian is gone. His last words were for you to take over the Meng family army. You should take care of yourself!" Fusu was speechless when he looked at Yi Xiaochuan with clear eyes.

"Big brother!"

Yi Xiaochuan could no longer hold the cup in his hand and rushed towards Meng Tian. When he was about to reach Meng Tian, he was held tightly by several family guards. He could only watch Meng Tian being dressed, his face tidied up, and put into the coffin.

People never cherish something until they lose it.

Yi Xiaochuan came to Daqin and met three big brothers. Xiang Yu and Meng Tian were really kind to him, but he betrayed them. Liu Ji never treated him as a brother and even betrayed and plotted against him many times, but he always considered Liu Ji.

And Meng Tian, who was most like his elder brother Yi Dachuan, was the one he let down the most. At the last moment of his life, he handed over 300,000 Meng family troops to him and even risked his old face to beg Fusu for care.

After Meng Tian was buried, Yi Xiaochuan also became quiet, allowing the female slave to manipulate him like a puppet and put on mourning clothes.

In the following days, Fusu, according to Yu Xian's advice, went around Shangjun to buy spices to preserve the body, and used saltpeter to make a large amount of ice to lower the temperature.

Xianyang, Imperial Palace.

Every day the Emperor of Qin would hear news from the Shaofu Zhang Han about how many human figures had been fired that day, where the stones had been sent into the underground palace of the Mausoleum of the First Lishan Emperor, which mountain had been built, and which river had been completed.

"Your Majesty, an urgent report from Prince Fusu!"

I don't know what happened to this silly son. Did the Huns invade the border and get surrounded? Why use such a high-level military report?

"Bring it to me now!"

The Emperor Qin pretended to be calm and confirmed that the seal was intact, then he opened the metal cylinder and poured out the silk inside. After reading the contents of the report, his face changed several expressions in a short period of time.

"Send Li Si, Zhao Gao, and Feng Changqing to see me!"

A moment later, Li Si and others hurried over.

"See Your Majesty!"

"No thanks. Fusu sent me a letter saying that General Meng Tian died a few days ago because he was poisoned while hunting down a Xiongnu assassin."

The three people had different expressions, but Feng Changqing reacted quickly.

"I request to go to Shangjun to bring back General Meng's body."

"Don't even think about it. You should quickly come up with a plan for Meng Qing's funeral. The Meng family has been loyal to the Qin Dynasty for generations and has made great contributions. Let one of my sons go." The Qin Emperor glanced at Feng Chang.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the 300,000 troops commanded by General Meng Tian?" Li Si asked.

"Prime Minister, please take over these 300,000 troops, how about that?" The Emperor of Qin said expressionlessly.

"I dare not!" Li Si knelt down hurriedly to plead guilty.

"Li Si and Zhao Gao drafted an edict. Now that Meng Qing is gone, the Huns will certainly take the opportunity to invade the border. The Great Wall cannot be left unguarded. I approve Fusu's request, and Meng Yi will succeed Meng Tian's position and command 300,000 troops stationed at the Great Wall. With a powerful enemy at hand, I order Meng Yi to reluctantly give up his post and not return to Xianyang to preside over Meng Qing's funeral. He must reorganize the army and prepare for war, and be ready to strike the invading enemy at any time." The Qin Emperor was too lazy to pay attention to Li Si's thoughts.

"Your servant obeys your command!"

Zhao Gao really wanted to wipe away the non-existent cold sweat. Li Si had been the prime minister for so many years that he had become a little too proud of himself and even asked about military power.

In the end, it was Prince Gao who went to Shangjun to bring back Meng Tian's body, and Feng Changqing sent a capable assistant to assist. As for the matter of announcing the imperial edict, Zhao Gao wanted to go at first, but he gave up in the end. Everyone knew that he and the Meng family did not get along, and it would be a bit bad for him to go forward at this time. So the matter of announcing the imperial edict was also given to Prince Gao.

Shangjun, Fushi County.

Fusu has been in a bad mood these days. Meng Tian's departure made him feel unprecedented panic. Meng Yi is simply unreliable. These days he just kneels there without eating or drinking.

At this time, the new appointment had not yet come down, and Fusu had no choice but to mobilize the army himself. With the help of the governor of Shangjun, he relocated the people on the front line of the Great Wall and mobilized various war supplies to deal with the sudden attacks launched by the Huns at any time.

Amidst the tense situation day after day, Gongzi Gao and his group finally arrived.

The imperial edict drafted by Li Si and Zhao Gao was not long, praising Meng Tian. Another imperial edict was about the 300,000-man army, and Yi Xiaochuan became the new commander-in-chief of Meng Tian.

Looking at a group of people surrounding his brother's coffin and heading south, Yi Xiaochuan finally showed a little emotion in his eyes, but that was all.

"Sir, is there something on your mind?" Yu Xian asked Fusu who was in a daze outside the pavilion.

"It's Mr. Yu! I have no worries." Fusu replied perfunctorily.

"That's great. I'm here to say goodbye to you, sir. Thank you for your care during my treatment!" Yu Xian said with a salute.

"General Meng Tian has left, are you leaving too, sir?" Fusu was a little sad.

"All good things must come to an end. Meeting is fate, and leaving is inevitable." This is all Yu Xian could say.

"But why am I the one left behind?" Fusu murmured to himself as he looked at the direction where Meng Tian's coffin left.

"My lord, please remember, no matter what happens in the future, as long as you are alive, there will be countless possibilities!" Yu Xian warned.

"I am a prince of the Great Qin. Apart from fate, I can't think of anything that can endanger my life." Fusu was still very proud.

"If a person's heart is dead, he might give up his body." Yu Xian said meaningfully.

"What do you mean, sir?" Fusu felt that this was not a simple statement.

"It's getting late. It's time for us to get going."

Xiaoyue also got off the carriage and saluted Fusu with Yuxian before heading south.

"Sir, take care on your journey!" Fusu thought for a long time, and muttered helplessly to himself at the black spot on the straight road.

……

"Sir, are we coming to Shangjun to meet Master Fusu?" Xiaoyue felt a little sad in the carriage.

"I hope that I can see him again one day. There are not many pure people in this world, and he happens to be one of them." Yu Xian felt that there was nothing he couldn't say.

"Will we meet again?" Xiaoyue was a little confused.

She might be leaving Daqin for Yelang Kingdom, so how could she possibly meet the future Emperor of Daqin?

"If he still wants to live, we will meet again." Yu Xian couldn't say that this honest child committed suicide after receiving an imperial edict.

Xiaoyue fell silent after hearing these inexplicable words. She didn't know what to do in response.

The two headed south, changed their route from Hangu Pass to the east, and finally stopped near the sand dunes. Along the way, Xiaoyue had already started to learn martial arts, and the targets of her training were the bandits who escaped from corvée and became bandits, and she could barely defend herself.

The days passed peacefully until one day when Xiaoyue saw a familiar procession and army coming from the east. The moment she saw the black dragon flag, she felt a little scared.

Yu Xian took Xiao Yue to a high platform, looking at this mysterious palace from afar. The guards and maids had lit lanterns early, and the lights under the eaves and the stars in the sky reflected each other, looking so peaceful and harmonious. But Yu Xian knew that in this quiet scenery, an extremely fierce storm was brewing, dragging the newly established Qin into the abyss.

"Sir, have you expected this day to come?"

"Xiao Yue! The world is about to turn upside down, so cherish these last peaceful days." Yu Xian said mysteriously.
