Chapter 374: The Great Wall, Spanning Heaven and Earth

~5 min read 870 words

Meng Tian glanced at the deputy general.

If these words were known by outsiders, it could be a big or small matter.

He had also thought that the Prince might just be going through the motions.

He hoped he was just worrying.

Otherwise, just protecting the Prince would be enough to give one a headache.

"We are all generals of Great Qin, so these words can be said here."

"But if you don't want to die, don't say this in front of the Prince, otherwise I can't save you."

The deputy general trembled and quickly lowered his head: "This subordinate knows his mistake."

Meng Tian looked at the soldiers.

"How much longer until the Prince arrives here?"

"Reporting to the Grand General, he should arrive tomorrow."

"Good, everyone prepare, prepare to welcome our Great Qin Prince to the northern military camp!"

"Understood!"

The generals all saluted in response.

This is the Prince of their Great Qin.

Coming to a place like the north for the first time.

They need to welcome him properly; this is their duty as subjects.

"Alright, disperse!"

"Strictly guard against Xiongnu attacks in the near future!"

"At the same time, supervise the work of the corvée laborers."

"They are all subjects of our Great Qin, and building the Great Wall is also to protect the country."

"No matter what happens, the project cannot stop!"

"Understood!"

The soldiers all exited the general's tent.

What Meng Tian didn't know was that soon, the Great Wall would no longer need to be built.

It was just that the news from Xianyang City hadn't reached him yet.

And there were no messengers coming here.

Because the Prince was coming in person, the news of Great Qin disbanding the corvée laborers would reach here then.

The next day at noon.

A ten-thousand-man team arrived at the northern military camp.

Accompanying them were many carriages and supplies.

Meng Tian and others had been waiting here for a long time.

Before Ying Ying Zi Ye even dismounted, he saw a person who was sixty percent similar to Shangqing Meng Yi leading a group of people to greet him.

Needless to say, this must be Grand General Meng Tian.

"This subordinate greets the Prince!"

"This subordinate greets the Prince!"

"This subordinate greets the Prince!"

Meng Tian and the other generals saluted together.

"No need for formalities!"

"You soldiers have worked hard!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye jumped off his horse.

"You must be Grand General Meng Tian, right?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the person who resembled Shangqing Meng Yi.

"Yes, this subordinate is indeed Meng Tian, greeting the Prince."

Meng Tian bowed and saluted again.

But his eyes couldn't help but look at Ying Ying Zi Ye.

Instead, he curiously glanced at the horse Ying Ying Zi Ye was sitting on.

Because these warhorses were covered with things he had never seen before.

After looking carefully, he found it wasn't just this horse.

All the horses around were dressed the same way.

He didn't know why this was.

But seeing that the people sitting on the horses were as steady as old dogs,

they didn't need to clamp their legs tightly against the horse's body.

"Discovered it?"

"Very keen observation."

Ying Ying Zi Ye muttered, worthy of being Grand General Meng Tian, his observation was indeed detailed.

These horses had all been equipped with the three-piece warhorse set.

They could be put directly on the horses; he couldn't just ship them here and then put them on, right?

"No need for formalities."

"What is General Meng looking at so intently?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye teased.

Meng Tian woke up.

"Prince, what are these...?"

Meng Tian was truly very curious.

He had never seen these things worn by warhorses before.

"These are one of the weapons and equipment I brought for you this time."

"But unfortunately, my men used them."

There were other pieces of equipment, and he planned to use them himself for now.

After returning, these pieces of equipment would be handed over to Meng Tian and the others to use.

Ying Ying Zi Ye didn't want to hand over these pieces of equipment for the time being.

Since he was here, of course, his own people would use them first.

"Big brother, we brought quite a few good things this time!"

Shangqing Meng Yi and others also walked over.

"What do you have?"

"Tell me about it."

Meng Tian and Shangqing Meng Yi hugged.

He urged him to speak quickly.

"Greeting the Grand General!"

Wang Li, Han Xin, and others also saluted one after another.

Han Xin hadn't seen Meng Tian, but Wang Li had.

It wasn't just as simple as having seen him; Wang Li was previously Meng Tian's deputy general.

It could be said they were very familiar.

He wasn't distant at all, and even greeted the soldiers behind Meng Tian.

"Deputy General Zhao, Deputy General Qian, Deputy General Sun, are you all still here?"

"I'm really happy to see you all again!"

Wang Li stepped forward and gave a hug.

Because he knew the Prince was easygoing and wouldn't be angry about this.

"You brat, are you hoping we'd die?"

"I've never seen anyone greet people like this."
