Chapter 66 Mengqi
The first ray of sunlight in the morning slanted into the window, and Qiu Yao washed and cooked as quickly as possible.
She had tried her best to calm down and wait for Song Yu to come quietly. Now Song Yu is really here. The joyful temperament of the reunion after a long separation is full of words, but she still wants to maintain the peace on her face.
As Song Yu said, Sima died of illness, and Sima Jin was transferred overnight. At this time, the convoy was led by Meng Qian, who had just arrived from the rear. Although Qiu Yao had dealt with this person, the Meng family was a general and a great minister. That kind of scenery was praised by future generations, which was enough to make Qiu Yao in awe. Since Meng Yu deserves the ancestor of this prominent military family, he must have something to be underestimated.
But after all, Sima Jin left in a hurry. Many things still have no time to hand over with Meng Yu. For example, the suddenly disappeared maidservant may not lose to Sima Jin when he leads the troops to type, but the time he has been with Bai Qi is far less than Sima Jin. Naturally, he does not know Bai Qi's thoughts than Sima Jin in many aspects. It is also inevitable that there are more omissions.
Qiu Yao was a little relaxed, but she didn't take it lightly. The carriage went back on the road, and the windows were still nailed to death. However, Qiu Yao's mood was not as good as before. In order to avoid leakage, Qiu Yao did not tell Xie Erniang what happened last night, but closed her eyes and carefully passed what Song Yu told last night. Once again.
After a whole day, and then a whole night. Qiu Yao only saw the Mengqi when she got on and off the carriage, which was more rude than Sima Jin's coldness. He should be much younger than Bai Qi, and his fame has not yet spread in the army. It seems that he is just a low-ranking general in the army. However, since Bai Qi asked him to take over Sima Jin's task, it also shows that Bai Qi can see it. Meng Wei is a talented person.
Qiu Yao couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth when she thought of this. Looking at a group of old and weak women and children was a major task, Bai Qi couldn't help but look up to her too much.
As Song Yu expected, the group suddenly stopped when they arrived at the county in front of them, and it was only noon.
Yan rarely shows his face in front of the public. As soon as he arrives at the inn, he goes upstairs and enters the room alone as usual.
Feng Xiang, Qiu Yao repeatedly recited the place name that Song Yu told her in her heart.
It turned out that Bai Qi's attack on Chu was not smooth sailing. The original military strength of Qin and Chu was very different. The Qin army was trapped here, and the back road was cut off. Next to it was the fast-flowing Han River, which was almost trapped here by the Chu army. In this case, Bai Qi secretly led thousands of elite soldiers all the way to the way to the hinterland of the State of Chu to cut the hundred-long canal. Of.
Qiu Yao secretly sighed that Bai Qi's ability was really extraordinary. Who knew whether he was trapped by the army on purpose to attract the attention of the enemy and put him to death. Bai Qi would never understand this truth.
While Qiu Yao was meditating, there was a sudden wave of restlessness outside the inn. The Qin people inside pressed the sword. Although Fengxiang is nominally still the land of the State of Chu, it has actually fallen into the hands of the Qin people. From beginning to end, there was only a king's order to govern the county. Therefore, the inn where Qiu Yao lived all the way was completely occupied by the Qin army. Naturally, the people dare not complain.
It's not an exabundance to wander around inside and out. Meng Yu, who was sitting in the corner drinking tea, motioned his men to go out to see the situation. Qiu Yao secretly glanced at Meng Yu, but saw that he was young but left a thick beard, and there was a sense of boldness between his eyebrows.
Qiu Yao was puzzled. The Meng's ancestors should be from the State of Qi. The history books did not explicitly mention the time when he defected to the State of Qin, but she didn't expect it to be so early.
She ate two mouthfuls of food on the table absent-mindedly, and Qiu Yao raised her ears to listen to the reply of Meng Yu's subordinates.
Although she didn't hear it clearly, she caught the key word "phasesman". Knowing that there was a chance to escape, she dared to discuss with Meng Yu, "Can you invite that minister to come in and show me?"
Meng Qian's refusal was expected. Qiu Yao was not discouraged, and she still shouted unrelenting that she wanted people to help fortune-telling. Meng Qian was so annoyed that he couldn't help it. He only knew that this shy woman couldn't even do anything about Wu Anjun. He also asked a general to guard him in person. His identity must be good, so he had to let him bring in. Come on, he just let him stand a foot away from Qiu Yao. At the same time, four Qin soldiers surrounded him in the middle. Once this seemingly honest minister has any unruly action, they can immediately control it.
The people of Qin and Chu are usually tall, but this prime minister is as thin as a monkey, describing it as obscene, but a pair of small eyes that are almost squinted into a slit flash of wisdom and mystery.
Qiu Yao's heart moved, cleared her throat, and seemed to ask Xiangshi to help look at it, but it was not his own twenty-hunting appearance. Meng Yu was too lazy to argue with a woman. He came here to see that several women were dissatisfied, and he was even more irritable to be teased by a woman, but he thought of Bai Qi and let him He closely guarded the order of stepping in the public, and had to stay in the hall with some regret and let the strange minister look at himself.
Qiu Yao raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Why don't you help this general first?"
"That's what I mean," the prime minister was not polite at all. He turned around and arched his hand to Meng Qian, who was drinking tea by himself. "The general's surname is Meng?"
Meng Qian glanced at him casually and said, "Everyone in this store knows it."
The soldiers in the store all smiled and waited to see the Xiangshi's joke, but the Xiangshi suddenly turned his face and turned his head and stared at the person inside fiercely. This stare actually shut up dozens of Qin soldiers. He thought that people with some skills usually have a temper. Meng Qian looked at the Xiangshi again, but he suddenly He took two steps forward, and then was stopped by an entourage beside him.
"Can General Meng speak further?" The minister looked serious, but he still didn't pay attention to it. Unexpectedly, the minister's next sentence made him couldn't help looking sideways. Does the general want to know where the Montessori clan is?
"Do you know what will happen to me?" Qiu Yao couldn't help but be happy when she saw Meng Qian's wavering.
"Walking around the world for decades, I know countless things in various countries, and regard my reputation as more important than my life. If the general can't find the Meng family at that time, he will smash ten thousand pieces of corpses."
Qiu Yao's heart tightened and looked straight at the prime minister, but saw that there was no arrogant look on his face. Instead, she looked calm and calm, and her mood couldn't help but be a little complicated. Could it be that Song Yu sacrificed the person in front of her in order to save herself?
Meng Qian frowned slightly, got up and looked at the minister condescendingly, turned to the second floor of the inn, "Come with me."
The rest of the people didn't stop it when they saw that it was a family affair, and no one followed. Qiu Yao looked at the Xiangshi who followed Meng Yu upstairs slowly, gritted her teeth, and suddenly covered her abdomen and shouted abdominal pain. Xie Erniang was also shocked when she saw this and randomly ran to Qiu Yao to ask about the situation.
Meng Yu is not here, and other Qin Bing is a little at a loss. Few people here know the relationship between Bai Qi and Qiu Yao, but Yan's name is like thunder. Now when I see Qiu Yao walking with Yan, I naturally know that this woman's status in Bai Qi's heart is not low. Although it is under house arrest, Qiu Yao has always been treated well.
"Why don't you go to the doctor!" Unexpectedly, she could still see Xie Erniang's power. Qiu Yao suddenly wanted to laugh, but she still pretended to be in pain, but couldn't help stretching out her hand and gently grabbed her hand.
A man walked out of the inn, grabbed the skirt of a passer-by, and asked him to invite the doctor in the town with a fierce face. Qiu Yao bent down, and Yu Guang secretly looked at the soldier who came back, with an imperceptible smile in his eyes.
