Although Yunmeng County is a county, it does not have a county seat. There is only a settlement surrounded by fences, which is full of thatched houses.
It's more like a larger village. The Chu people living among them cannot be called countrymen, but they can only be called savages because they have Yunmeng County household registration, so they can only be called villagers.
These days, all the fellow villagers belong to the same clan. Although Magistrate Wu is originally from Qin and has no blood relatives with the Yunmeng villagers, since the entire county has been naturalized with the surname Wu, Magistrate Wu has long regarded them as the same clan.
As their parent officer, hearing the cries and pleas from the villagers of Yunmeng County behind him, Magistrate Wu was already heartbroken.
Nearly ten years of work!
With great difficulty, we collected savages from all over the world and gathered clans together, and gained more than 2,000 people. Among them were the wives and children of County Magistrate Wu!
Once again return to the wild ghosts!
"Hundred Generals," he carefully held his hand as a salute, "the road is difficult to travel, can you let the villagers take a break?"
General Bai glanced at County Magistrate Wu and said coldly: "My magistrate Wu, you are also a soldier of the old Qin Dynasty. Is it true that military orders can be delayed?"
"It would be better to let him go in a hurry, and he would have been tortured like this." He said meaningfully.
"I can't bear it after all. They are all people under my rule, Great Qin." He spoke reluctantly.
"The villagers are the people under the rule, and you are also the officials of our great Qin!"
There was a hint of sarcasm in the general's voice: "Since you are an official of our Great Qin, why do you not respect the orders of His Majesty the First Emperor?"
Magistrate Wu was speechless and sighed.
Baijiang is right,
Qin's laws are extremely strict. As a general, Meng Tian gave an order and he followed the law!
Unless he changes the general order himself, there is no way to change it!
However, will the general change his orders on his own?
impossible!
The most taboo in the army is to change orders overnight. Even if the killing is wrong, the person should be killed first and then punished for the crime of wrongful killing.
Moreover, everyone knows that Meng Tian received the king's favor in this life, and once the king's order was issued, there was absolutely no reason to disobey it. The only possibility is that the general will meet true immortals during this trip!
but……
Magistrate Wu asked himself, are there really gods in this world?
He had served as the magistrate of Yunmeng County for several years. He had personally led the county soldiers in Yunmeng Mountain several times to drive the barbarians down, register household registrations, and divide fields into records. He knew Yunmeng Mountain very well, not only in detail.
He had long known that those alchemists in the mountains were all swindlers. Because he once saw with his own eyes a cock-crowing, dog-robber named Chou Sanzhe, who suddenly transformed into an alchemist. He was riding a pig that he got from nowhere. It was dirty and dirty, and he dared to call it a spiritual beast and roamed the countryside.
He also falsely claimed that he was of Emperor Yao's blood, and after Tao Tang, he took the surname Tang himself. However, the governor of Nan County actually believed it and invited him as an honored guest. He came to the hall and talked about mysteries every day.
It's just that His Majesty the First Emperor treated the alchemists kindly, and those who had alchemists were treated with fake and unchangeable titles. Even though Magistrate Wu is a real noble, he dare not take it lightly.
Otherwise, such clowns would have been killed by Magistrate Wu long ago.
Chou San is like this, and so are the alchemists in the mountains.
Magistrate Wu County had never met a real immortal in the mountains, but the villagers told the story vividly and vividly.
Deep in Yunmeng Mountain, at the top of the sky, there are immortals preaching and auspiciousness serving in front of them.
Magistrate Wu turned his head and glanced at his side.
There was an old man not far away from him, a local elder. At this time, he was tremblingly holding a white deer in his arms and murmuring as he staggered forward.
"You can't kill, this is auspicious..."
"Haha." A sneer sounded, it was Baijiang.
"Lingwu, do you believe there is auspiciousness in this world?"
Magistrate Wu showed a wry smile again.
This white deer was the one that appeared at the execution ground before. The First Emperor liked to hunt, and it became a common practice in the army. If there was no day for training, he would ride in the mountains and hunt as a show. Not only did they get fresh blood and food, they also trained their cavalry.
This white deer was discovered by the scouts, hunted on horseback, and was easily captured.
The white deer was currently being held in the elder's arms. Although it was still peaceful, Magistrate Wu could see that it was anxious.
The pig Chou San was wearing before was a wild boar, and most wild boars are black and brown in color. However, Chou San's pig is also white, which is very rare, which is why he got the name of alchemist.
However, under the three-kill order, Magistrate Wu personally captured Chou San. After interrogation, he learned that the white pig was actually Chou San painted with white paint.
Is this white deer fruit auspicious?
The sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded, and then a voice sang loudly: "The general has returned!"
Magistrate Wu suddenly felt something in his heart. He subconsciously looked towards the mountain road and saw a man in a dark red cloak approaching with lightning speed.
It was General Meng Tian.
Seeing the cloak, Magistrate Wu let out a long sigh. ,
He is a veteran of the Qin Army and knows the role of the cloak in the military formation.
Now that the cloak has been untied, it naturally means that the general personally goes into battle to kill!
And who else is there for the general to kill?
Alchemist also!
I only blame myself for being too gullible and talking about fairy tales to the general's face.
This time, thousands of villagers, including Yunmeng County himself and below, may not be spared!
At this time, the villagers also saw the dark red cloak and began to cry out for injustice.
"Shut up!"
The hundred generals scolded again. He drove his horse forward and bowed respectfully: "General, I have been ordered to drive the people of Yunmeng County to the first line of sky. Because the mountain road is difficult and dangerous, the journey is very slow. I hope you will forgive me, General!"
"That's it!" It was Meng Tian who came. He immediately rode in front of the army and glanced at the villagers who were forced in the center by the Qin soldiers, with a slightly sad look on his face.
"Xianxiantian, there's no need to go." He said calmly.
General Bai was stunned for a moment, then he spoke cautiously: "Then, are these villagers going to be killed here to form a military force?"
"No need." Meng Tian said calmly.
General Bai raised his brows slightly. He glanced at the villagers suspiciously and glanced at the personal guards behind Meng Tian.
He felt keenly that there seemed to be something wrong with the General!
Including the personal guards behind the general, they also looked lost.
Not only the general and his bodyguards, but even their horses were listless!
How is this going?
He hesitated and wanted to ask, but he didn't dare. However, Meng Tian glanced at the white deer held in the arms of the old man from Chu Renxiang, and frowned suddenly.
"Is this the white deer?" he said coldly, his eyes sparkling.
Just now when he was looking at Tianmen Terrace on the hillside, he felt that something was missing from Tianmen Terrace.
At this moment, he finally understood!
Since the Zhou Dynasty, people in the world have respected the four phenomena. The four images encompass the world, which is called the whole.
There are four spirits in the sky, four gates in the palace, and four armies in Qin.
However, on the Tianmen platform just now, beside the alchemy furnace, there were only three so-called auspicious ones.
Just one of the most noble white deer is missing!
No wonder, at that time, he vaguely heard the stranger say that the four spirits are incomplete and the destiny is unknowable!
"It's this deer, General, we..." Baijiang said doubtfully. He had been following Meng Tian for a long time, and he knew that when the light in the General's eyes flashed, he was going to kill someone!
However, if the villagers are not killed, who are they going to kill?
The next moment, Meng Tian's eyes fell on Baijiang, and his voice was as cold as a knife.
"This may be the destiny of the Qin Dynasty. How dare you violate it!"
The hearts of the generals felt like they were struck by lightning!
Destiny?
The general had previously shouted to kill the deer.
Why is it that after a trip to the mountain, this white deer is related to the destiny of the Qin Dynasty?
