The Myth of Daqin: The Soul of Yi Xiaochuan

This is Meng Yi's side.

Although he hadn't seen his wife Lu Su for half a year, because Lu Su was about to give birth, after returning home at night, Meng Yi just gently hugged Lu Su to sleep, for fear of waking her up.

It was not until the next morning when the sunlight shone through the window onto the two of them that Meng Yi slowly woke up.

After breakfast, Meng Yi carefully fixed Lu Su's hair and said gently, "My dear, I'm going to the Northland Camp today. You should stay at home and tell Xia Zhu and Qiu Ya if you need anything."

Lu Su smiled and nodded, and said softly: "Husband, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

Meng Yi turned to Xia Zhu and Qiu Ya and said, "You must take good care of Madam and inform me immediately if anything happens."

Xia Zhu and Qiu Ya responded in unison: "Yes, General."

Xuemei was already four months pregnant, and Lü Su was worried she was too tired, so she asked her to rest more. However, Xuemei still had to personally monitor Lü Su's daily meals and daily routine, fearing that something might happen to her.

After Meng Xin learned that Xuemei was pregnant with his child, he smiled from ear to ear every time he met someone.

When he met Meng Yi in the morning, he excitedly said, "General, I'm going to be a father too. This is great!"

Meng Yi also smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Yes, our Meng family is going to have a new member."

The whole palace was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere. Meng Yi asked Meng Xin to stay in the palace and went to the camp alone.

Meng Yi rode his horse to the front of the Beidi camp. As soon as he entered the camp gate, he heard Ying Bu, Han Xin and Li Ziwei fighting with each other outside the tent.

"Haha, Brother Yingbu, your injury has just healed, so you have to take it easy!" Han Xin smiled and threw a fierce punch.

Ying Bu swiftly dodged sideways and retorted, "Don't underestimate me, you bastard! I'm not that fragile!"

After the two exchanged a few moves, Ying Bu turned to fight with Li Ziwei.

"Ziwei, let me see if you have made any progress during this period of time!" Ying Bu shouted and threw a punch.

Li Ziwei jumped away nimbly and said with a smile, "Brother Yingbu, don't be impatient. Let's practice slowly."

Han Xin watched from the side, and from time to time he shouted: "Good boxing!"

Ying Bu then stopped fighting, while Han Xin and Li Ziwei engaged in combat.

Li Ziwei's steps were as swift and unpredictable as a ghost, his moves tricky and he and Han Xin exchanged blows, fists interlaced, kicks whistling.

"Watch this!" Han Xin dodged Li Ziwei's flying kick and punched out.

Li Ziwei blocked it with his palm, and there was a loud "bang" sound. Both of them took a few steps back.

"Not bad, Brother Ziwei!" Han Xin praised.

"You're not bad either, Brother Han!" Li Ziwei responded.

Then, Han Xin used several consecutive kicks, attacking Li Ziwei like a storm.

Li Ziwei dodged left and right, looking for an opportunity, and suddenly swept his leg.

Han Xin leaped up and did a roundhouse kick in the air.

Li Ziwei dodged sideways and punched back at the same time.

For a moment, the white snow covering the field outside the tent was suddenly blown all over the sky by the fierce fight between the two people, forming a spectacular scene.

The surrounding soldiers cheered, applause and cheers rose one after another, as if the whole camp was boiling.

"Good! Good!"

"fantastic!"

Li Ziwei and Han Xin were fighting back and forth, and the fight was difficult to determine.

In the end, Li Ziwei dodged and defeated Han Xin with a side kick.

"Haha, Brother Ziwei, your trick is powerful!" Han Xin said with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Han. You've made me spend a lot of effort." Li Ziwei wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Ying Bu walked up, patted them on the shoulders, and said, "You two are both good. You have made a lot of progress!"

Meng Yi watched from the side, secretly admiring in his heart: "This Li Ziwei is indeed worthy of being a scout. His movements are indeed agile."

At the same time, Meng Yi also noticed that Han Xin's martial arts had indeed improved greatly after his trip to the Western Regions. Although he lost this competition, Han Xin's strength was obviously stronger than before.

Meng Yi was pleased with Han Xin's growth. He knew that this young man had extraordinary potential. In the future, Han Xin would surely become an outstanding general and achieve great military exploits.

After everyone dispersed, Ying Bu and the other two came before Meng Yi and bowed in unison, saying, "General (Lord)."

Meng Yi smiled and said, "Let's go in and talk."

Following his words, the four of them walked into the tent. The tent was filled with a warm atmosphere, and in the center stood a blazing fire, illuminating the entire space.

Meng Yi spoke first, "Ziwei, keep a close eye on the news from Xianyang, especially the officials. I need to understand their movements and decisions so we can respond accordingly."

Li Ziwei immediately nodded and replied, "As you command, General."

Meng Yi then turned to the crowd and said with a smile, "We will stay in Jiuyuan for a while to give everyone a chance to rest and recuperate. During this time, everyone can relax. When we return to Xianyang, it won't be so relaxing."

Just as Meng Yi finished speaking, Xiao He and Lü Shi walked in. They bowed and said, "My Lord (General)."

It turned out that within the main camp, Xiao He and Lü Shi were both in charge of government affairs and logistics. Due to their frequent work interactions, the two gradually became familiar with each other and established a good relationship. Today, upon learning of Meng Yi's arrival, they agreed to come together to pay their respects.

Meng Yi quickly stood up, took Xiao He's hand and said, "Quick, quick, Brother Xiao, sit down and talk."

Then, he turned to look at Lu Shi, and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, how come you have become so polite?"

Lu Shi smiled and replied, "General, this is a military camp, and everything must be done according to military rules."

Ying Bu then smiled, his eyes fixed on Meng Yi, and said, "General, it's still early in the morning, and it's not easy for us to get together today. How about we get drunk tonight?"

Meng Yi nodded slightly in agreement. He smiled and replied, "Of course you can, but don't get too drunk."

Everyone echoed and expressed their agreement.

Afterwards, Xiao He and Lu Shi got up and went to prepare wine and food. It was obvious that they were used to such scenes.

As night fell, everyone gathered around the fire, the blazing flames dancing and illuminating everyone's face.

After three rounds of drinks, the conversation started to unfold, with everyone sharing their experiences from all corners of the world.

"I once got lost in the desert and had no water for several days and nights. I almost died there." Li Ziwei was also drunk. He spoke with a look of determination and indomitable spirit in his eyes.

"That's nothing. I once encountered a storm on the river and the boat almost capsized. That was thrilling!" Ying Bu also interjected with a red face. He patted his chest as if to prove his bravery.

As the night deepened amidst the discussion, everyone dispersed, feeling slightly tipsy.

Meng Yi looked at the starry sky and then at the backs of the people leaving. These were his future team members, and his heart was filled with satisfaction.
