In this most beautiful season, the most beautiful Xinjiang, the music of Youyang no longer sounded, and the Meng family was crying and crying. They jumped off the carriage, jumped off the horse's back, faced the distant Lao Qin, and kissed the soil brought from their hometown deeply, and then hid them in their arms like treasures.

This hometown is so precious. It is said that if you get infected with the disease of being unacceptable to the local environment in a distant foreign land, just drink a bowl of water boiled with the hometown and you will be able to recover quickly. In the next five, ten years, or perhaps longer, these hometowns will be their roots, their dreams, and their lives relying on...

Meng Chenggong held Bai Dong's hands tightly and cried like a young widow whose husband had just died. With Bai Dong's protection along the way, he could always be safe. Now that he reached the border of the Western Regions, Bai Dong had to lead the Qin army to leave. Old Qin could allow the Meng family, who was originally a death row prisoner, to shed blood and sacrifice in the Western Regions, but not to let the soldiers loyal to the country be useless. Leaving Bai Zi, who has the means of immortality and the protection of the army, how far can the Meng family go? Whether they can truly gain a foothold in the Western Regions is still unknown. Thinking of the noise of the Meng family, and looking at the tragic scenes now, Meng Chenggong was sad for a while; he was the patriarch and had to bear the hope of the whole clan, and he could only have the opportunity to cry and shed a few tears when he hid in Bai Dong's tent.

"After all, the Meng family was exiled, and the army could only send you here. After entering the Western Regions, you must gain a foothold as soon as possible, take advantage of the conflict between the Qiang people and the Rong people in the city, and seek opportunities to survive in the cracks. The state has national laws, and Lao Qin cannot support you like the army supporting the border, but Du Sikong will secretly help you and provide you with necessary survival supplies. But it is difficult to have an armament supply. Otherwise, he would violate the national laws..."

Bai Dong glanced at Du Zhi with a frown, ignored him, poured himself a glass of wine for Meng, and comforted him with a gentle voice: "The Qiang people are the most fierce and stubborn in the Western Regions, but the eleven Qiang people have many conflicts. The maps of the Qiang people I gave you have detailed records. I will give you a sentence "Will win over a few, hit a few, and get close to them." As long as you can successfully differentiate the Qiang people, you will get the support of some Qiang people and hurt those Qiang tribes that hate the old Qin the most. After successfully passing through the Qiang people's control area, it is the success of the Meng family."

"Thank you, Bai Zi, I have seen the Rongtus of the Western Regions. Among them, the ones that hate Lao Qin the most are Tuyu Qiang and Seli Qiang. These two tribes have thousands of elite soldiers. The picture says that 'Everyone wears cloth armor, and the arrow tips get gold'. The Meng family soldiers were not afraid of it, but if there were no war vests, it would be difficult to get lucky..."

"After the Meng family entered the Western Regions, Lao Qin had absolutely no reason to support exile criminals. However, the road along the way was difficult, and there were many wolves. It was also true that our army fought with wolves. If such a war was inevitable, it would inevitably lose thousands of war horses and some armor and military equipment. I still have some face to be with you. I guess he would not make things difficult for me..."

Bai Dong smiled and said, "I will be the leader and give the Meng family a thousand war horses, two thousand pairs of armor and swords and bows that are sufficient to equip 3,000 people. I will leave that kind of thunderbolt bag to the Meng family, but no matter how many more, it will not be possible. However, thunderbolt bags were passed down by my mentor. This thing is not of great benefit to the country. You must not use it indiscriminately, but it can only be used as a deterrent effect. Could the clan leader agree to me?"

The news of this battle between man and wolf will soon spread throughout the Western Regions and will soon be passed back to the old Qin Dynasty. Ying Quliang is not a fool. Bai Dong will not be able to hide it with the "Palm Thunder" again. However, the pre-Qin era was still in the "post-mythical period". It is impossible for ordinary people like Ying Quliang to hide it. As long as Bai Dong does not admit that there are such things as gunpowder, it can be used as the common secret between him and Ying Quliang. Ying Quliang is not a mediocre monarch who is eager to succeed. He will naturally analyze the pros and cons of this thing. He should not order mass production and use it for war casually.

"Bai Zi, please betrayed successfully!"

Meng Chenggong said without saying a word, kneeled in front of Bai Dong with a "thump", and actually kowtowed three times in a row.

Although he was an exiled sinner, the Meng family also had their own pride. Even if he faced Ying Quliang, he would never kneel down and bow down easily, but Bai Dong was really the great benefactor of the Meng family. These three tips must be blamed, otherwise the ancestors of the Meng family would blame him for being unworthy.

Bai Dong did not refuse this time, but suffered three revelations from Meng Chenggong. After he finished kowtow, he helped him up with both hands and said, "Captain Meng, the Meng family rebelled because of opposing the new law. Although the emperor felt sorry for him, he could not help but punish him. However, you must understand the emperor's heart. Although the emperor is punishing the Meng family, he also hopes that the Meng family can create a new world in the Western Regions and establish merits for the old Qin. On that day, I will ask for the Meng family in front of you so that the children of the Meng family can return to the old Qin. I will take care of the Meng family's ancestral hall and will never stop the incense. Bai Dong is full of hope for the return of the Meng family. Do you trust me?"

"Brother Bai's methods are getting more and more clever. If you say this, it would be strange if the entire Meng family is not devoted to it. It's amazing..."

Du Zhi secretly looked at Bai Dong, and his heart gave a higher opinion of the Bai brother.

Meng Chenggong had a pair of eyes red, and the leader of the clan couldn't help crying: "Will the Meng family really have a day to return to Lao Qin?"

"Of course there is! The emperor cannot value Qin Tu less than Qin. If the Meng family can make contributions in the Western Regions, they are afraid that they will not be able to return to their former glory? Then there will be rewards for titles and rewards."

Bai Dong held Meng Chenggong's hands and wiped his tears with a silk squid.

***

"As the emperor expected, the Meng family was even more grateful to Bai Zuo, and he was determined to make contributions to Lao Qin and could return to Lao Qin in the future. Bai Zuo even left a war of war for the Meng family, and now they have reported to the National Government as a normal loss..."

Jing Jian stood in front of Ying Quliang with a smile on his face: "The fact that Bai Zuo Geng used a thunderbolt chariot to destroy the wolf pack has become a legend on the grasslands of the Western Regions. Now all the Rongs of the Western Regions are speculating that I, the old Qin people, have been blessed by the God of Thunder and Fire; Yiqu Kingdom is even preparing to send envoys to congratulate him, and they respect Guangmingtian, which is the God of Thunder and Fire among the people of the Western Regions."

"My father-in-law is not a fool. He knows that at the right time, the spies you sent to Yiqu can double this."

Ying Quliang smiled slightly. The relatives of the family belong to the relatives. Beware of the caution. He would not be completely relieved of Yiqu just because he married Bu Rongyi; the more respectful and cooperative the old Taishan showed, the more he had to be careful. Even the ministers of the old Qin State were average. The more straightforward the ministers, the more relieved the ministers, the more they could be. Those who smeared honey in their mouths should be careful.

"No, will the Meng family also send more secret spies? Now the Meng family is more grateful to Bai Zuo Geng than the emperor, and the ministers are worried..."

Jing Jian was the only old Qin minister who had no position. He would always stand on the side of Ying Quliang. Ying Quliang wanted to preside over the reform. He would do his best to help Wei Yang. If Ying Quliang wanted to change back to the old system of his ancestors one day, he would be the first to monitor Wei Yang, and if necessary, he would not blink the head of Zuo Shuchang.

Although he also sympathized with the Meng family, if the Meng family was a little unfaithful to Lao Qin, he would not hesitate to get Meng Chenggong's head back; Bai Dong was his brother, but if Bai Dong's power was enough to threaten Lao Qin, he would decisively deal with Bai Dong. As Ying Quliang's most loyal minister and good friend, this is his duty.

Bai Dong would rather cooperate with villains like Du Zhi that day, but instead of looking for Bai Chong and Jing Jian, because villains can tempt them. However, "gentlemen" like Bai Chong and Jing Jian, who are loyal to the country, cannot tempt them, and they are far less effective than villains.

"I said that even in front of me, you should call Lao Si a brother..."

Ying Quliang looked at Jing Jian and said, "The fourth brother has the means of heaven and man, and is the only person I cannot see through. If it is said to be money, he is already the richest person in Lao Qin. If it is said to be power, he is only willing to receive a Zuo Gengxu title and insists on continuing to be his "guest minister". Such a mind is the most terrifying, but I am willing to believe him."

"Brother Bai is a good man and a good brother of his subordinates, but his subordinates cannot see through him. He always feels that he is actually very scary. Although he does not have military power, his influence in Lao Qin has already caught up with the emperor. The subordinates do not understand why the emperor is so at ease with him, but since the emperor says this, it must make sense..."

Jing Jian sighed slightly. He had a good relationship with Bai Dong and recognized this brother in his heart. However, as the number one spy chief of Qin State, his special professional identity forced him to doubt or even monitor Bai Dong at all times. In fact, he was more painful than anyone else. He really didn't want to treat his good brother like this, but he had to perform his duties again.

"Supervisor... I naturally understand your hard work, but your worries are unnecessary. What you see from the fourth brother is the magical and unpredictable method and unpredictable thoughts, but I see his transcendent posture..."

Ying Quliang signaled Jing Jian to sit side by side with him, holding his hand that was as bright as jade and beautiful as a virgin, and gently rubbed it a few times: "A person has wealth that is as rich as a country but will not be lost, has the credit that shocks the country but will not be greedy for power, has the reputation of spreading the world but is not proud, has the favor of the king but does not do anything wrong... Build academy, recommends Wei Yang, saves the Meng family, and opens Xinjiang. The Bai family's business has already achieved the world, but he does not enjoy profit alone.

Instead, he distributed the money to the commercial banks of various countries and tried his best to implement the laws. The country that benefited the most... If a person like this has ambition, his ambition is not in the position of Lao Qin, nor in the position of monarchy. His father once told me when he was dying that Lao Si's lofty ambition was really like the Guiguzi who lived in seclusion in Qingxi. He did not leave the world, but the world changed because of it. Although his ambition was beyond your ability to see through, it would definitely not threaten me."

"Your Majesty has such a high opinion of Brother Bai? What is his ambition?"

"I can't explain it very clearly. I just feel that what my fourth brother thinks is different from that of mortals. Sometimes there is a kind of purity and nobleness among gods. It's like when you see an immortal, you can guess what the immortal is pursuing? If he says that there is a world in his heart, this world must be different from me... Although this is a feeling, it is extremely true."

Ying Quliang smiled and said, "So I am relieved first of all, you and Bo Fan, and the second is this fourth brother. As for the Shangdafu and Wei Yang, they must be placed in the third place. Qin has Baizi, which is really a blessing for Qin. What else can you and my monarch and ministers worry about?"

"But in the matter of Pilibao, he still concealed many things from the emperor. Attacking Deng Lingzi on that day was not a Taoist master of 'Palm Thunder'..."

"This is nothing. When he comes back from the Western Regions this time, he will naturally explain to me. I can also vaguely guess his intentions. This thing in Pilibao is indeed harming the harmony of the world and may not be beneficial to the country. If I want to be truly invincible in the world, I will rely on the country to be rich and strong in the people. Can I become the best in the world with some powerful weapons? However, this thing is still useful at critical moments. Lao Qin still needs to obtain manufacturing methods. I have ordered the blockade of news, saying that the wolves will fight that day, just as thunder and fire fell from the grassland, our army used oil and fire to break the enemy. The soldiers who went to the Western Regions should not mention the Pilibao, otherwise the three tribes will not be tolerated!"

"Your Majesty is a clear guide, and your subordinates will also secretly order their subordinates to capture the detailed works of various countries that have sneaked into our country recently. As long as you don't get the exact information, the countries in Shandong will never expect that there will be such a powerful weapon like Pilibao in the world."

"It's very good, but there's no need to leave now. Let's have a bowl of soup with me first..."

Ying Quliang patted Jing Jian's back of his hand, his movements were extremely gentle. Jing Jian looked up at the first old Qin person, and two bright reds appeared on his fair cheeks... (To be continued...)
