Through Time Chapter 268

The Great Qin Lieutenant’s Palace!

The whole building looks extremely grand and solemn on the outside.

The two majestic Qin soldiers at the entrance had an aura of slaughter!

Although it is also on the street, people would rather take a slight detour than go here.

Even if they must pass by, they are in a hurry.

But at this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as a civil servant with a calm face was slowly walking towards the Tai Lieutenant’s residence, and to say that there was something distinctive about him, it was that his nose was slightly bigger.

Although the civil and military officials of the Great Qin are not so confrontational, they do have some scruples about each other.

After all, it is not a good thing for the emperor to have too cordial a relationship between the civil and military.

Civilian officials would be even less likely to come to the Office of the First Lieutenant on their own initiative.

But when the two Qin soldiers from the Tai Lieu’s residence saw the middle-aged man, they could not help but salute to

“Greetings to the Shangqing Meng.”

For the other man was Meng Yi, the brother of their Qin army’s current great general, Meng Tian!

Nowadays, there is nominally no great lieutenant in the Great Qin, so Meng Tian is the highest military official!

His brother, these men naturally didn’t dare to treat him lightly.

Meng Yi nodded, then entered the Tai Lieutenant’s residence.

He was soon greeted by an official who

“Shangqing Meng, you’ve come over again.”

“That thousand-strong general named Zhao Lang has not yet come to the Tai Lieutenant’s residence either, so you do not need to come over so often, if there is any news, I will certainly send it to you.”

“I have his place of origin here, so I will have someone call him over.”

The official was actually a little curious in his heart, for more than ten days ago, this high ranking and powerful superior minister, who was trusted by His Majesty.

Yet from time to time, he came to the Tai Lieutenant’s residence.

After asking him a few times, he found out that he was waiting for a thousand-strong general called Zhao Lang.

This man was also known to them. After all, it would be a joke to lead a county alone without a record.

Meng Yi was the brother of the great general, so if he wanted to see a general, he could just call him over, but he didn’t expect Meng Yi to allow it.

“It’s alright, I’ll just sit down for a while.”

Meng Yi said in an extremely calm manner.

In fact, he was also extremely puzzled in his heart, having received a letter from his elder brother Meng Tian.

He wanted him to get in touch with this thousand-strong general called Zhao Lang more often, but did not explain the reason in the letter, only saying that he must look at the other side’s weapons and what he looked like.

He also said that he valued his opponent and told him not to take him lightly either.

And then it was gone.

Some of it was headless.

Yet Meng Yi knew his brother would not do anything unnecessary, as to why he did not state it in his letter.

The correspondence between the two of them had gone private, but to say that there were no Black Ice Guards in it was something he did not believe.

That was why he came to sit at the Tai Lieutenant’s residence every now and then.

That sire of his had been a bit secretive lately anyway.

“It can’t be that Li Si and Zhao Gao, playing some tricks, can it.”

Meng Yi thought with a frown.

Just then, a young man walked in, and an official soon came forward to ask questions.

The Palace of the First Lieutenant was an important place, not for ordinary people to enter.

Meng Yi did not care either, but heard the official suddenly shouting

“Zhao Lang! You are Zhao Lang!”

“Quickly, quickly, quickly! Shangqing Meng, Zhao Lang is here!”

Meng Yi then looked up sharply and saw a handsome, athletic young man with a somewhat puzzled appearance looking at them.

At once, Meng Yi walked straight up to him and said that

“General Zhao Lang of a thousand men? I am Meng Yi, the Great Qin’s Upper Secretary.”

Zhao Lang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and was somewhat confused.

He had come to the Tai Lieutenant’s residence just to ask for information.

However, he never expected that as soon as he entered, he would meet Meng Yi.

He naturally knew who Meng Yi was, and he himself was now considered one of Meng Tian’s favoured men, one of his own.

“Greetings, Admiral Meng.”

Zhao Lang saluted.

Meng Yi took a closer look at Zhao Lang at this time, his appearance was indeed handsome, but nothing more.

“Take out your weapon and take a look.”

“Weapons?”

Zhao Lang was dumbfounded by the question, who would bring a weapon into the Tai Lieutenant’s residence?

“Shangqing Meng, the last general’s weapons are at home.”

Meng Yi continued to ask, however

“What does your weapon look like?”

Zhao Lang, though somewhat puzzled, returned that

“The last general’s weapon, the Killing Wolf, is a long spear with a wolf-like head.”

Hearing the words kill the wolf, Meng Yi raised his eyebrows, already understanding in his heart, and returned, without understanding the sound

“Well, it’s really you, my family brother and I have mentioned your weapon.”

“I saw you not wearing your military uniform today, so I have this question.”

Hearing these words, Zhao Lang, who was originally full of doubts, was instantly clear.

In his heart, he was even more impressed that this Meng Yi’s mind was actually so delicate.

“The last general came in a hurry today, so he did not wear his military uniform, it is the last general’s negligence.”

Zhao Lang returned.

Meng Yi nodded casually and continued to ask

“What is the reason for coming to the Tai Lieutenant’s residence today, ah.”

Zhao Lang hesitated, this was a matter for the Great Qin military and it was still a bit bad to talk to Meng Yi.

Luckily, the official at the side was extremely discerning and said that

“General Zhao, there is no harm in speaking up if there is something, Shangqing Meng is not an outsider either.”

Only then did Zhao Lang speak directly to

“I heard today that an emissary from Goguryeo has come to Xianyang, but the last general killed a prince of Goguryeo only a few months ago.”

“So, I would like to ask if there is a way to dispose of it?”

The reason why Zhao Lang dared to be straightforward was because he knew that the Qin army was actually extremely protective of shortcomings.

As long as he told the truth, these people would definitely protect him!

Just look at Zhang Han’s attitude at that time, he didn’t give a damn about the other side at all.

Only, now that the other side’s royal family has come straight away, there will be some variables after all.

For the dignity of the royal family was at stake.

It was as if, the First Emperor of Qin could order the killing of the royal families of the six kingdoms at will, but, the others could not bend them and so on.

If the other prince took this opportunity to lash out, Zhao Lang would not be too damaged though.

However, some minor punishments were inevitable, such as a demotion of one rank, etc., to give an explanation.

But Zhao Long could not accept such a punishment now.

He had already invested a lot of resources in Yunzhong County, and it would be too unbearable to be demoted at this time.

Meng Yi also frowned slightly after hearing this, and then spoke to an official at the side of

“Can this be true?”

The official hastily inquired about the paperwork before returning.

“There is indeed a matter.”

Meng Yi nodded his head and after some slight thought, he spoke directly to Zhao Lang, the

“You are the man my brother sees in me, so naturally you are also my man.”

Hearing these words, Zhao Lang revealed a few moments of joy, he didn’t expect that Meng Yi would not be evasive at all!

He had made his attitude clear straight away!

“Thank you, Your Highness!”

With such a great god protecting him, he would not have any problems this time.

Having someone in the court is a great relief!

Meng Yi nodded his head and said.

“Tell me, what compensation do you want to take from that Goguryeo this time?”

“Huh?”

Zhao Lang was confused for a moment.

Meng Yi took it for granted and said

“A prince of a small country, without the approval of my Great Qin, dares to die on my Great Qin’s land!”

“And dirty the weapon of one of my generals!”

“This is simply outrageous!”

“This time, we must ask for more compensation from Goguryeo!”

The other officials responded in unison that

“What the upper minister says is true!”

Seeing this scene, Zhao Lang had only one thought in his mind, the

Damn, Great Qin is so domineering, I like it so much!
