Daqin: Sign in with Princess Honglian at the beginning

Chapter 222 Testing Meng Tian

At this time, in a tent, the captain returned to the desk and sat down. He was the only one left in the tent.

Qian Chang took off his iron mask at this time, and his true face was exposed under the candlelight. He had a square face, a firm expression, a gleam in his eyes, and was very heroic, emitting an iron-blooded aura.

From this we can see that this captain has gradually become a famous general.

Sudden.

The candlelight flickered, and a figure appeared in front of Qian Chang. The man exuded a terrifying murderous aura, with a tall figure and a cold face.

"Who?"

Qian Chang stood up suddenly, pressed the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and the long sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed. The sword was chilling, pointing straight ahead, and his expression was solemn.

"Meng Tian?"

The figure did not move, but stopped five steps away from Qianchang, allowing the two to maintain a safe distance at all times, and asked in a cold voice.

Qian Chang was startled, but then nodded. This person revealed his identity in one sentence, and it seemed that he already had a guess in his mind.

Moreover, even if he knew, what would it matter? This is the Qin Wusui camp. With my great martial arts skills, I don’t believe that I can’t stop this mysterious person.

"Who are you?" Meng Tian asked again.

Gai Nie clasped his sword with both hands and saluted, "I am Gai Nie."

Meng Tian's eyes narrowed in disbelief. He clenched his sword in his right hand and stared at Gai Nie. With a concentrated aura, he asked, "Gai Nie? Guigu Gai Nie? The King's chief swordsmanship teacher, the Gai Nie who is the best swordsman in Qin?"

"I heard that Mr. Gai Nie has always been with the king. Why did he appear in my tent today?"

The Meng family was prestigious and had a place in the Qin army. Meng Tian's grandfather Meng Ao fought on the battlefield and was a senior minister. He was also a great force in Xianyang.

As the grandson of Meng Ao, Meng Tian must have been more well-informed about the Qin royal family, and he revealed Gai Nie's origins in one sentence.

Gai Nie answered irrelevant questions and continued to ask: "Meng Tian, ​​the current young master of the Meng family, grandson of Qin Shangqing Meng Ao, son of the eunuch Meng Wu, currently serves as a captain in the Wusui Pingyang Heavy Armor Army."

"Major General Meng Tian is worthy of being the inheritor of the Meng family's bravery. He has shown his talent at such a young age. His future is limitless."

Meng Tian asked in doubt: "How did you know I was here?"

Meng Tian came to the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army and became Wang Xi's subordinate. Except for the senior military officials, no one else knew about it. However, Gai Nie easily revealed his identity, which made Meng Tian suspicious.

Gai Nie said calmly: "As a descendant of Guiguzi, I naturally have my own channels of information."

"It's just that I want to ask you one question. The Qin court is in a state of flux, with the Queen Mother Zhao Ji ruling from behind the curtain and the Prime Minister Lu Buwei in control of the government. I wonder if the Meng family is loyal to the Queen Mother or the Prime Minister?"

Meng Tian was not only extremely brave, but also very intelligent. He said, "Mr. Gai Nie is testing me."

"Humph!"

Meng Tian snorted coldly and said, "Although the Meng family originated from Qi, they entered Qin as generals. Generations have received the king's favor and have conquered cities and captured strongholds for the king, and fought on the battlefield."

"The Meng family knows that they are loyal to no one but the current king, so there is no need for others to doubt them."

Meng Ao was appointed Shangqing and served in the dynasties of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Xiaowen of Qin and King Zhuangxiang of Qin. He led the army to war several times and made many military achievements.

He successively captured more than ten cities from Han, more than thirty cities from Zhao, and more than fifty cities from Wei, enabling Qin to establish Sanchuan County and Dong County, and allowing the Qin territory to connect with Qi, thus encircling Han and Wei on three sides.

This made it easy for the later Qin State to destroy the Han and Wei States.

Meng Tian's father, Meng Wu, was appointed as the eunuch and took over the Meng Family Army founded by Meng Ao. He fought on the battlefield for several years and stabilized the border of Qin.

Gai Nie chuckled and said, "Major General Meng is the most courageous of the three armies. He is the peerless genius of the Meng family. He followed his grandfather Meng Ao to fight in the six kingdoms. He became famous at a young age and has the potential to be a great general. He became a captain at a young age."

"I hope that the Major General's words can be consistent with what I think in my heart."

Meng Tian snorted coldly and said, "I am Meng Tian, ​​a man of honor. My Meng family has been loyal for generations. I would never do such a thing."

Then, he changed the subject and said, "Mr. Gai Nie, you are not here just to test my loyalty, right?"

Meng Tian had his own thoughts. Guiguzi Gai Nie was full of murderous aura. Now that he could talk to him calmly, there must be other things.

Gai Nie waved his hand, and a royal seal appeared in his hand. Under the candlelight, he could clearly see what it was.

Meng Tian took a closer look and was shocked. He knew about this token, so he immediately knelt on one knee and kowtowed with the highest military etiquette: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

It was obvious that Gai Nie was holding the royal seal of Ying Zheng. With the royal seal here, it was as if the King of Qin was present in person. How could Meng Tian not kneel down and kowtow?

However, although Ying Zheng is now in power, he cannot mobilize any troops or officials of the Qin State with the royal seal alone.

It must be stamped together with the phoenix seal of Queen Mother Zhao Ji in order for the Qin State to function. Therefore, Ying Zheng must take back the power of Queen Mother Zhao Ji so that the royal seal can realize its unique power.

Gai Nie showed a satisfied smile. Meng Tian's reaction could not lie. When he saw the royal seal, he knelt down immediately without hesitation. It can be confirmed that Meng Tian's heart is on the side of the king.

It can also be inferred that the Meng family also supports the king, so Ying Zheng will have a strong support.

At the same time, Gai Nie also felt relieved. This time it was indeed very risky if Meng Tian was not loyal to Ying Zheng.

The mere fact that he appeared as the chief swordsmanship teacher had already exposed the fact that Ying Zheng had appeared in Wusui.

But now everything is going as planned. As Mu Feng said, Meng Tian is loyal to Ying Zheng, and Wu Sui’s crisis has been at least partially resolved.

Gai Nie said, "Get up, young general. I hope you won't disappoint the king."

"Wusui is in danger now. I hope that General Meng will act according to the circumstances."

Meng Tian's expression was already, and he said: "Meng Tian obeys your command, could it be...?"

Before he finished speaking, Gai Nie stopped him and said, "Young General, at this moment, you know what I know, and heaven and earth know what I know. The law cannot be passed on to others, so safety is the most important thing."

Meng Tian understood and was certain in his heart that the king had appeared in Wusui and was nearby. It seemed that the Meng family's intelligence was correct.

The Meng family has been active in the military for decades and has taken root in the Qin State. They must have established their own intelligence network to ensure that the family can make correct judgments at all times.

Meng Tian had already noticed the abnormality, and now Gai Nie's appearance with the royal seal confirmed Meng Tian's guess.

Gai Nie took back the royal seal and continued, "Major General, everything about this conversation is confidential."

Meng Tian clasped his fists and said, “This is a matter of great importance. Meng Tian understands that everything is between you and me.”

Gai Nie nodded and said, "I hope so. Goodbye."

The breeze blew, the candlelight flickered, and Gai Nie's figure had disappeared in the tent.
