When Bai Yan kept talking, everyone stopped taking care of him.
Early the next morning.
After everyone woke up again.
Only then did Gui, Liang Lang and others see with their own eyes how many wounds Bai Yan had on his body.
Seeing Bai Yan's arms, back, and abdomen all tied with cloth strips, and a lot of blood stains vaguely visible on them, Liang Lang and others couldn't help but feel frightened when they saw this scene.
They looked at Bai Yan and found it hard to imagine that Bai Yan could hold back and not cry out in pain yesterday.
They thought if it were them, they could be like Bai Yan and say 'it's okay' in an understatement last night.
this moment.
Looking at Bai Yan's appearance, both Liang Lang and Xi and others were a little silent.
"What happen to you guys?"
Bai Yan looked at everyone's appearance and asked with some doubts.
He didn't care. After putting on the cloth, although the wound still hurt slightly, it was not as bad as yesterday.
"The army is preparing to break camp!!"
Suddenly there was a roar outside.
After Bai Yan and others heard this, they all realized that the army would be gathering soon to head to the next city.
"Walk!"
Liang Lang and others quickly recovered, put on Qin armor and took Qin sword.
Bai Yan also put on his armor. After drying overnight, he could already wear it on his body. He didn't have time to pick up the scabbard of Qin Jian, so he could only hold the hilt of Qin Jian.
Leave the camp.
Bai Yan was about to follow Gui and others to eat together.
General Cen Zhou came over at this time.
"Bai Yan, General Bai Yu is looking for you, hurry over."
General Cen Zhou came to Bai Yan with a Qin soldier and said to Bai Yan.
Bai Yan nodded. After saying something to Gui and others, he turned around and left.
"General Bai Yu?"
Liang Lang and others looked at each other, and then they realized that Bai Yan's clansman in the army was named Bai Yu, and he was a general.
I just don’t know how high his official rank is as a general.
.......
Under the leadership of Qin Zu.
Bai Yan left the camp, entered Yangcheng, and followed the city ladder to the city road.
Just as he went up, he saw Bai Yu already standing in the city road.
"General! The people are here!"
After Qin Zu bowed his hand to Bai Yu, he turned and left.
Bai Yu looked at the vast Qin army camp in the distance and turned to look at Bai Yan.
"General!"
Bai Yan cupped his hands towards Bai Yu.
Bai Yu had said before that he would look for him, so he was not surprised at the moment.
Bai Yu did not speak in a hurry, but asked the nearby cronies to leave, leaving him and Bai Yan alone.
In the city road.
After the trusted soldiers left one after another, Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan.
"If you don't call me uncle, sooner or later, Sima Xing and Hu Jin will become suspicious. You brat, if you don't mind your Qi country's feud knowing that you are still alive, then just pretend that I didn't tell you."
Bai Yu said softly.
Although a large part of it is his fault.
But Bai Yan's alienation from him was also very suspicious in the eyes of others.
Recalling that Sima Xing and Hu Jin asked him yesterday, the Bai family had separated.
Bai Yu felt helpless when he thought of this.
If he hadn't thought that this kid's identity couldn't be revealed, he would have wanted to tell him his identity directly. This saves him from being teased by Sima Xing and Hu Jin all the time.
"uncle!"
Bai Yan heard this, thought for a moment, and then said.
A man can bend and stretch, and he has suffered the loss. Even though I feel very unhappy about it.
In this world, as long as he can gain power and status, his loss is nothing.
What's more, he doesn't want his identity to be exposed.
If 'Zou Xing' were alive, there would be countless people in Qi who couldn't bear it.
Now it's just a scream, and it won't drop a piece of meat.
"This is your title."
When Bai Yu heard Bai Yan's words, he finally felt relieved. He was really worried that this kid would keep alienating him because of Bai's reasons.
Handing a wooden sign to Bai Yan, Bai Yu looked towards the Qin army camp in the distance outside the city.
"If you are injured, stay with me in Yangcheng."
Bai Yu said.
Bai Yan took the wooden sign and saw that it said 'hairpin'!
"Isn't your merit enough to be promoted to a higher rank?"
Bai Yan raised his head and looked at Bai Yu with a puzzled expression.
He remembered that when registering yesterday, the general said personally that his merits were enough to be promoted to nobility, so why was he only wearing a hairpin now?
Wouldn't it be a big loss if this happened? He had been stabbed so many times in vain.
"Qin's law says that no one can be promoted beyond the third level in a battle."
Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan's confused look, raised the corners of his mouth on the middle-aged cheeks, and said softly.
Bai Yu could understand why Bai Yan didn't know about this.
After all, on the battlefield, there are several Qin soldiers who can win several ranks of titles in a row with merits gained in one battle.
Seemingly hearing Bai Yan murmur "lose" softly, Bai Yu blinked and couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry. Why does he feel that this boy is the same as his eldest brother, but he can understand that his eldest brother is doing business, but this boy is not a merchant, but a soldier, and he deserves credit for his achievements or not?
"Don't worry, kid, for your meritorious service this time, at least your title will not be changed!"
Bai Yu said angrily.
Hear the words.
Bai Yan looked a little disappointed just now, but suddenly he became interested.
After all, he entered Qin to seek merit. Now that he has made meritorious service, he naturally hopes to receive corresponding credit. He was not very familiar with Qin's laws before. Naturally, he felt a little disappointed when he heard that he could not be promoted to nobility. But listening to Bai Yu's words, it seemed that the matter was not finalized.
Bai Yu didn't answer in a hurry.
"Please tell me uncle!"
Seeing Bai Yu's expression as if he was waiting for something, Bai Yan had no choice but to bow his hands.
See this.
At this time, the corners of Bai Yu's mouth slightly raised.
"You have my surname of Bai. In the Qin army, neither I nor General Teng can do it. But in the court, we can!"
When Bai Yu said this, he looked at Bai Yan: "Qin has Qin laws, but it also has Qin kings."
"Bai Yan understands!"
When Bai Yan heard the last sentence and thought of the previous sentence, "You have my surname Bai", he still didn't understand what Bai Yu meant.
The Qin Law is important, but it does not mean that everything follows the Qin Law.
Just like him, according to the laws of Qin, he can only be promoted to the rank of hairpin, but if the Qin King Ying Zheng opens his mouth and allows him to be promoted, then it will definitely be possible.
This kind of thing is almost common.
It is also a means for kings to win over courtiers.
After all, Bai Yan felt his conscience and said that according to the laws of Qin, he could only give hairpins, but if the current king Ying Zheng promoted him for his merits and granted him a title that would not be changed, he would be truly grateful to Ying Zheng for the feeling of regaining what he had lost. .
And according to normal circumstances. If he is really a descendant of the Bai family, then not only him, but also the Bai family represented by his surname will be grateful.
Think of this.
I heard there is still a chance to be promoted to a higher rank.
Bai Yan finally felt relieved.
If you come here for Qin Gong, a higher title will naturally be good for you.
However, Bai Yan was also a little surprised. He went to the Bai family to ask for the Bai surname before, just hoping to have some say at the critical moment. I didn't expect that being a member of a noble clan would bring such great benefits.
Or it can be said that he seemed to have underestimated the identity of the noble family members before.
On the city wall.
Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan's young appearance and seemed to really understand. Suddenly, Bai Yu's eyes flashed with surprise.
I think when he was the same age as this boy Bai Yan, he was still in Bai Mansion in Pingyang, but now this boy has made meritorious deeds and his brain is still so good.
Only then did Bai Yan remember that Bai Yu had asked him to stay in Yangcheng.
"General..."
Bai Yan, who was relieved, was about to speak. And when he saw Bai Yu's appearance.
"Uncle, Bai Yan doesn't want to be in Yangcheng. He wants to continue attacking South Korea with the army."
Bai Yan cupped his hands and said.
Seeing Bai Yu taking advantage of him, he seemed to be addicted to taking advantage of him, and felt a little helpless. I can only comfort myself. Even if he is not called uncle, according to Wuxing's status, he should be called Shishu (uncle).
"Your injuries haven't even healed!"
Bai Yu said angrily after listening to Bai Yan's words.
"No problem!"
Bai Yan shook his head, he was aware of his injury. Although his condition is definitely not very good, he is not without the ability to fight.
This time Qin conquered Han, even if Han was weak, it was also a battle to destroy the country. He was not willing to miss the opportunity to gain credit like this.
Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan and seemed to be able to sense the young man's eagerness to gain credit.
At this moment, Bai Yu turned his head and looked at the Qin army camp in the distance outside the city. He also stated the purpose of today.
"I will tell you the reason later, so you answer me first. Do you hate me, the Bai family, for not betrothing Junzhu to you?"
