From Drunken Dreams to Dawn Chapter 6

Landon Meng didn't know why his grandfather had such a big reaction when he heard that Grayson Ying was going to court.

The intense pain in my wrist was really not something an old veteran could feel.

My grandfather has been bedridden for many years and shouldn't have this kind of strength unless he is severely stimulated.

But even when the Qin Dynasty unified the world, my grandfather only cried for joy and never showed such expression.

Is it a big deal for that rubbish to attend a court meeting?

Bigger than the Qin Dynasty's unification of the world?

Crash~

The breeze outside the house passed through the branches of the old trees in the courtyard, and the leaves swayed to each other, making music.

Inside the house, Jasper Meng held Landon Meng's wrist tightly and shook it again and again.

"How did you know that Chang'an Jun is going to attend the court meeting? Who told you? Tell me quickly!" Jasper Meng looked extremely anxious.

He no longer cared whether Qin's eldest son Asher Ying would be exiled to the frontier.

I don't care how the Meng family stands.

Now he just wanted to confirm where the news came from that Chang'an Jun Grayson Ying, the shame of the Qin Dynasty and who was called a waste by the Qin State, was attending the court meeting!

Tian'er is a steady person by nature and won't say anything unless she is absolutely sure.

Could it be that Chang'an Jun really wants to participate in politics?

Just thinking about it made the veteran, who had fought in many battles, shudder all over.

"Hurry up and tell me! Are you going to make your father anxious to death?"

Landon Meng didn't mean to keep silent, he was just organizing his words.

It only took a few breaths of time from the time Jasper Meng started asking the questions. It was because Jasper Meng was too impatient.

But as a grandson, I can't say bad things about my grandfather. Landon Meng gently stroked the old general's chest.

"Don't worry, Grandfather. This is what Chang'an Jun said himself. I will go to the court tomorrow and explain the matter between the eldest son and the Confucian school to Your Majesty."

The veteran's hand strength has been significantly enhanced.

Landon Meng's wrist was becoming more and more painful. He wondered if he should give up and tell his grandfather to let go.

Veteran Jasper Meng was breathing heavily.

My grandson heard it from Chang'an Jun...

Chang'an Jun wants to participate in government affairs, it's true...

The world has just been unified, is chaos going to break out again?

Yes, Chang'an Jun may not care much about the position of King of Qin, but he may not care much about the position of the master of the world.

Or, was it that a birdman deliberately lured Chang'an Jun into participating in politics?

Want to follow the old path of Lu Buwei, the birdman!

Chang'an Jun is a calm person by nature. If he is really instigated by the birdman, I will chop this birdman to death!

Jasper Meng's expression became serious. He didn't even have time to tidy up his clothes. He just put on his shoes and walked out of the house.

The most experienced veteran of the Qin State, with the determination to face death head on, wants to meet the old subordinates he has brought up over the years.

The Qin State cannot stand the turmoil any more, and neither can the rest of the world. Your Majesty is a wise ruler!

Lord Chang'an, I'm sorry that Jasper Meng can't stand on your side this time!

This old general who knew many secret stories of the past couldn't believe that Grayson Ying, who had not attended court for more than ten years, would now attend court for Asher Ying.

"Grandfather? Grandfather!"

Landon Meng just breathed a sigh of relief as the pain in his hand disappeared.

In this short period of time, I saw the old man almost walking to the door, but he hadn't even put on his coat yet.

With my father’s health, he will get sick if he doesn’t dress properly before going out!

The medical level and environment in the Qin Dynasty were not as good as those of modern times. For the elderly, getting sick was a very fatal thing.

He rushed out hurriedly and puzzledly, standing in front of Jasper Meng with a bitter face.

"You haven't even put on your clothes yet. What are you going to do? What's the hurry?"

Jasper Meng pushed his grandson aside: "Don't block the road!"

Can you not be anxious?

What if Chang'an Jun launches a mutiny?

But Landon Meng didn't dare to let the old man go out like this. What if something happened to him?

"No, Father, you can't go out like this!"

His strength surged, his feet took root, and he stood there like an iron tower. Jasper Meng couldn't pull him away.

He was strong and healthy, and when he got serious, he was no match for Jasper Meng, an old man in his eighties.

The old general tried to leave several times, but was gently stopped by Landon Meng.

"How dare you, you bird, fight with me!" Jasper Meng was in a hurry to go out, but was stopped by Landon Meng. He was so angry that he started cursing.

"Father, it's not that I don't want you to go out, but you have to explain the reason to me clearly. At least you should wear proper clothes to avoid the invasion of evil wind from outside." Landon Meng advised kindly.

"You will understand if I tell you? Do you really think that Chang'an Jun will go to court for the eldest son tomorrow?"

Landon Meng was even more confused. Why was his grandfather so anxious because of Grayson Ying?

"What else could it be? What else could that piece of Sh!t do?"

When Jasper Meng heard how Landon Meng addressed Grayson Ying, he became furious.

Trash, trash! You guys who think Changan Jun is trash are trash!

After fighting for a few days, attending court for a few days, being flattered by those nobody else, and being rewarded with some things by His Majesty, you think you are capable?

"Fools! His Majesty has exiled the eldest son to the county, and wants you to accompany him. This is to ask you to protect him and assist him! Those idiots in the court thought that His Majesty wanted to promote Wang Jian and prevent my Meng family from dominating the army. The eldest son and my Meng family would lose the emperor's favor. Bullsh!t!"

"Wang Jian is a great fighter! No one can defeat him except the two Wu'an Juns of Qin and Zhao! But he is very cautious! He is always afraid that the emperor will doubt him! If he doesn't change this, he will never get the emperor's trust in his life! The emperor wants you to follow the eldest son to Shangjun! This is a sign of trust in you! To train the eldest son! This is a blessing! These things, those fools can't see, how can Chang'an Jun not see it!"

The old general poked Landon Meng's forehead with his finger again and again, and said angrily: "Tell me! If you were the Lord of Chang'an! Would you come to court for this matter?"

No matter whether Chang'an Jun is unable to continue to be indifferent or is instigated and tempted by others.

If it weren't for the purpose of personally sitting on the throne of the Lord of the World, how could Chang'an Jun change his style of more than ten years?

Jasper Meng's series of rapid-fire questions made Landon Meng dazed, confused and at a loss.

Even he himself thought that being exiled to the county meant losing the emperor's favor.

So, isn’t it?

This veteran who had fought in battles all his life, had never read many books and could utter indecent words like "bird" from time to time, but he was more insightful than anyone else.

As the veteran spoke, he stood on one leg and raised the other leg to pull on his shoe.

He didn't keep his balance well, and his old body swayed and he was about to fall.

Landon Meng was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he helped the veteran to steady himself. With the help of Landon Meng,   the veteran was able to put on his shoes.

The veteran is so old that it is difficult for him to stand on one leg.

The great general Jasper Meng, who dragged a broken leg and chased the enemy for three miles on the battlefield, is long gone.

"You can't even figure this out, how can you be qualified to know about Chang'an Jun's affairs? What's the point of supporting me? You should support the entire Meng family!"

Time is merciless and heroes grow old with age.

Jasper Meng, who had come from Qi to Qin with high spirits and built the first military family of Qin with his flesh and blood, is really old now.

"You B@st@ard, don't get out of the way!"

After being scolded, Landon Meng lowered his head. He was wearing the Qin State's unified military boots, which his grandfather had not worn for many years.

Rustle~

He moved his feet, intending to make way, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Even if Grayson Ying has talents unknown to the world, who can guarantee that he can see through Your Majesty's intentions like my father?

Landon Meng believed in his grandfather, but he also believed in himself.

Everything he saw and heard in Chang'an Junfu told him that Grayson Ying had made a temporary decision to go to court just for Asher Ying, and this was all caused by his guidance from Landon Meng.

He didn't believe that Grayson Ying had wanted to go to court for a long time but had no excuse, so he set a trap for Landon Meng to give it out.

He just came up with the idea on the spur of the moment. How could anyone calculate it so accurately?

Moreover, no matter how powerful Grayson Ying was, in Landon Meng's heart, he could never be compared with the First Emperor Caleb Ying.

Within less than ten years of his reign, Caleb Ying ended hundreds of years of chaos in the Central Plains and ushered in an unprecedented situation of great unification of China.

Such a great ruler is rare in a thousand years. No matter how talented Chang'an Jun is, his qualifications as a monarch of a country have already reached the limit. Can he still be the ruler of the world?

What my grandfather said is too absurd, considering launching a mutiny against Your Majesty in Xianyang!

Thinking of this, Landon Meng stopped moving and continued to stop his grandfather Jasper Meng.

"Don't worry, Grandfather. The city defense army is under the control of my brother Yi, and the imperial guard is under the control of Zhang Han. There are only these two armies in Xianyang, and Chang'an Jun has no army that can be mobilized."

Landon Meng thought what he said was reasonable.

A mutiny requires soldiers, and there are only two armies in Xianyang.

One is in the hands of Meng Yi.

One of them was in the hands of Zhang Han, Caleb Ying's confidant.

None of them would follow Grayson Ying in starting a rebellion.

Jasper Meng's hands trembled, he was angry.

He said so much, but his grandson still took it for granted and didn't understand at all!

We cannot judge things based on superficial things. How can you not understand this?

Xianyang only has the city defense army and the imperial guards? Wrong! Xianyang only has the city defense army and the imperial guards!

Landon Meng lowered his brows and glanced at Jasper Meng's hand.

Why is this old man angry again? Am I wrong?

"How can Grayson Ying be as clever as you, old man, to guess the emperor's thoughts? Grandfather thinks too highly of him, he is not even as good as your grandson. Your grandson will tell him about the Confucianism and the eldest son, and with a little trickery, he will do as your grandson wants and go to the court to explain things clearly to the emperor. Grandfather has explained the doubts, and since the emperor has other intentions, your grandson will go and tell him not to go to the court tomorrow."

There was some pride in Landon Meng's words, and he turned around and was about to go to Chang'an Jun Mansion.

He didn't notice that his great-grandfather Jasper Meng was not only shaking in his hands, but his entire body.

Brat!

Birdman!

It turns out that it was you who instigated Chang'an Jun!

It turned out that it was someone from my Meng family who seduced Lord Chang'an!

I'm still counting on you, a birdman, to support the Meng family!

But you want to lead the Meng family that I defeated to a dead end!

Jasper Meng was furious. His skin was covered with age spots and wrinkled like snake skin, and blood vessels like loaches bulged out!

The last time Jasper Meng was so angry was when Bai Qi, the Wu'an Jun of the Qin Dynasty, whom he had followed for many years, was unjustly killed!

He fixed his old eyes on the dusty sword on the wall, grabbed it and drew it out of its sheath!

Brush~

As Landon Meng was walking out, he heard a sound of breaking air behind him, as if it was a sharp weapon!

Judging from the sound, it was heading towards his head!

My great-grandfather is the only one behind me. How could he possibly kill me with a sharp weapon?

What he thought in his mind was that this was impossible and that he had heard it wrong, and he had no intention of dodging.

However, after years of fighting on the battlefield and being on the verge of life and death, the body has already developed muscle reactions.

He bent his legs slightly, dodged with a jump, and turned around to face Jasper Meng.

When he turned around, Landon Meng saw Jasper Meng holding a sharp sword and chopping at him on the head again.

He heard it right!

He retreated in a hurry, ran out of the door and fled to the yard, his body covered in cold sweat.

Both of Jasper Meng's swords were aimed at his head.

They are all killer moves! They are here to save their lives!

Grandfather wants to kill me?

Why would my grandfather want to kill me?

Why did my father want to kill me?

Landon Meng stood in the middle of the yard, completely confused.

His elder grandfather Jasper Meng also rushed out of the house, like an old tiger. Although he was old, he still had power. Without saying a word, he struck him on the head with a sword!

Ding ding ding~

Landon Meng did not draw his sword, but held it high above his head with the scabbard, blocking Jasper Meng's attacks time and time again.

The sharp sword hit the scabbard, splashing tiny sparks, and every sword strike left a cut mark on the scabbard.

My grandfather used all his strength to do this!

This doesn’t feel like a test at all!

"Father, what are you doing?"

"You B@st@ard! How dare you seduce Lord Chang'an! I'll chop you to pieces!"

Landon Meng:...

It's Grayson Ying again! It's not over yet, is it?

Landon Meng is not a clay man. He is the new generation of military leader of Qin State after Bai Qi and Wang Jian.

His temper is really not very good. If Jasper Meng was not his grandfather, he would not be so docile.

But now, he was being hunted by Jasper Meng Zhen, and he could no longer hold back the depression in his heart.

"What's so great about that rubbish! You are old, father! You can't see clearly! How can you see people clearly?"

Jasper Meng struck with his sword again and again, without mercy, just like he did when killing enemies on the battlefield.

"You arrogant boy! How can you seduce Lord Chang'an!"

Ding ding ding~

The sparks never stopped flying, and the starlight showed the veteran's great strength.

"Although I am not talented, at least I have not brought shame to the Qin State! At least I have not left the shame of Tunliu!"

When

Jasper Meng slashed down with the sword again, but this time he did not raise it again, pressing down on Landon Meng's scabbard.

The grandfather and grandson were facing each other, only half a foot apart. They were both equally angry, their eyes wide open, and neither of them would admit defeat.

After two breaths, a deep sadness appeared in Jasper Meng's eyes.

Oh, the shame of Tunliu...

Chang'an Jun, you are not worth it!

Ao feels sorry for you!

Without the Tunliu Rebellion, the Qin State would have collapsed long ago. How could Your Majesty have ended a century of war?

He bit his two remaining back teeth, and said sternly to the grandson in front of him, whom he believed could be entrusted to the Meng family: "If I hear you being disrespectful to Chang'an Jun again, there will be no one like you in the Meng family!"
