On the top of the new city, Bai Yan watched the 20,000 elite soldiers of the Qin State marching towards Xinzheng.
"Shen Huan!"
Bai Yan murmured this name in his heart, and imagined that if this Korean general was really allowed to build a fortress, even if Korea was destroyed in the future, he would be the Korean general to block the Qin army's attack.
I'm afraid it will be recorded in the history books just like Xiang Yan.
But unfortunately, after Han Ling died, he accidentally revealed this matter.
I'm afraid Shen Yuan wouldn't know about it either. Only the things he planned with Han Ling were known to him, the official of the Qin State, after Han Ling's death.
At present, the Qin army has sent its elite troops to the south bank of the Jishui River. When Bai's cavalry dares to come to the new city, he will also lead the Qin cavalry to the Jishui River.
Han general Shen Yuan was destined to be defeated.
"doctor!"
At this time, Ye ran to Bai Yan's side and handed a roll of bamboo slips to Bai Yan.
In the State of Zhao, the subordinates of the "generals" are the captains, while in the State of Qin, the officials, official officials, public officials, public officials, and the five officials are all officials, and the five officials above them are the ministers and generals.
Bai Yan's title is Gongcheng at the moment, but he can also be called a doctor.
"When the doctor returned to Xincheng, the old servant also rushed to Xinzheng. Hearing that the envoy had left Xinzheng, the old servant chased him all the way. When he came to Xincheng, he found out that the envoy was in Xinzheng, so he found me."
Ye told Bai Yan the origin of the bamboo slips.
Bai Yan opened the lucky bamboo slip.
It is written above that a man from Chu State had led more than 50 dead soldiers to Yangzhen before, but for some reason, all the dead soldiers suddenly returned to Chu State on their way to Xinzheng and did not continue to Xinzheng.
"Has something happened in Chu State?"
Bai Yan put away the bamboo slips and murmured in confusion.
But Bai Yan immediately shook his head.
If a major accident occurs in Chu State, these fifty or so dead soldiers will not be of much use if they return to Chu State.
Moreover, the leading man did not return to Chu State!
Since it is not an accident in Chu State.
Do not know why.
Bai Yan suddenly thought of the Zhang family who had escaped from Xinzheng before. Those dead soldiers were not returning to Chu State, but probably escorting Zhang family to Chu State.
South Korea, Chao Qin and Mu Chu.
The Korean court is also divided into two factions. Those who are loyal to Qin are not close to Chu, and those who are close to Chu are not close to Qin.
The Zhang family had always advocated an alliance to resist Qin, so there must have been intersections with officials from the Chu state.
But why didn’t that man return to Chu?
Thinking of this, Bai Yan frowned slightly.
Sigh softly.
"Hide! Chu State doesn't have many years left!"
Bai Yan looked at the Qin camp outside the city and murmured in his heart.
He knows.
Chu State will not be destroyed by Qin State for many years.
At the moment, he is not worried about Zhang going to Chu State.
Compared to Wei and Qi, Zhang's family in Chu seemed to be stable, but the threat to him had also become minimal.
The old man's home is in the State of Zhao, and he usually goes to the State of Qi.
Zhang Liang would have no chance to see the old man as long as he was in Chu State.
Sunset and dusk.
A burly man in gray cloth, carrying a package, looked at the Qin army camp.
Looking at the black flags with Qin characters, his eyes were full of shock.
The tiger and wolf master of Qin.
For all countries, from the kings and officials to the common people, everyone's expression changes when they hear this title.
After a while.
"From where?"
At the gate of the new city, a Qin official looked at the man and saw a small black mole on the man's forehead.
"Yang Zhen."
The man said, and then took out the pass stamped with Yang Gui from his arms.
Yangzhen belongs to South Korea, but the new city has been captured by the Qin State. During this war, ordinary people may not necessarily be able to enter the new city if they hold a pass.
But the traffic orders in the hands of men are different from those of common people. The traffic orders in the hands of men belong to merchants.
As long as it can be proven that there is no sharp sword or anything like that, you can enter the new city.
"go in!"
The Qin official nodded and indicated that the man could enter the city.
The man cupped his hands and walked towards the city.
But what the man didn't notice was that after he entered, a Qin official hurriedly ran to the city ladder.
Inside the city.
The man found a small room, handed over the money to the shopkeeper, and then followed the waiter upstairs.
After arriving in the room, the man placed the package on the bedside and then lay on the bed.
There was no carriage this time, and my legs were a little sore from the journey for several days.
I haven't been this tired in several years.
It's getting dark.
There was not a single pedestrian on the street, and the people had all gone home to sleep.
Suddenly a carriage came outside the shopkeeper's door. He thought it was the merchant who came to stay in the middle of the night.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, several Qin soldiers holding sharp swords got out of the carriage.
"Which room does the man in gray live in?"
Ye came to the shopkeeper and asked.
After hearing the news today, he stayed on the tower and followed him all the way, asking people to watch him near the hut.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. Looking at the Qin soldiers in front of him, he did not dare to lie and quickly led several Qin soldiers upstairs.
inside the room.
After the man had something to eat, he slept on the bed.
I don't know how long I slept for, but suddenly I heard a knock on the door, and the man woke up hazy.
"who?"
The man asked, his eyes full of sleepiness, but when he heard that it was the shopkeeper, the man still got up and walked to the door.
However, just as he opened the door, the man's pupils shrank, and several sharp Qin swords were placed on his neck, feeling the slightest chill.
At this moment, the man's heart was filled with despair.
My life is at an end~!
The man knew that since Qin Zu appeared here and drew his sword without saying a word, he must have been discovered.
But the man couldn't figure out how Qin Zu knew about him.
"Tie them up!"
Ye looked at the man with cold eyes.
As Ye finished speaking, a Qin soldier came behind the man with a thick rope and directly trapped his hands behind his back.
Throughout the process, the man did not dare to resist.
Then Ye took out a piece of cloth and blocked the man's mouth.
"take away!"
Ye said, then looked at the shopkeeper: "Just pretend this never happened."
The shopkeeper nodded tremblingly and promised that he would never tell anyone.
After a while.
The shopkeeper watched the Qin soldiers take the man into the carriage and slowly leave in the night. Only then did the shopkeeper dare to breathe a sigh of relief and wipe the sweat from his forehead.
in the dark night
The carriage drove slowly down the street, accompanied by the sound of rolling wheels, and finally stopped in front of a mansion.
Ye and Huai took the tied man out of the carriage and walked into the mansion.
The tied man looked at the mansion in front of him with despair in his eyes.
Inside the mansion.
In a study room, Bai Yan was writing bamboo slips under the candlelight.
Several footsteps were heard.
After a while, I saw Ye and Huai walking in with a man.
"Doctor! The people are here."
Ye said to Bai Yan.
Bai Yan raised his head and was about to speak, but when he saw the man for the first time, he was stunned.
"You guys go down and rest first!"
After Bai Yan came back to his senses, he said to Karma and Huai.
"Doctor, don't you need to dispose of his body?"
Karma has some doubts.
Bai Yan shook his head and said no.
Seeing this, Ye and Huai didn't say anything, so they resigned and left.
At this moment.
Bai Yan and the trapped middle-aged man were the only ones left in the study.
Bai Yan looked at this middle-aged man with a strange expression.
The middle-aged man looked at Bai Yan with despair. Hearing the two Qin soldiers call the young man in front of him doctor, and looking at the young man's age, he didn't understand.
If that's right.
The person in front of him should be Bai Yan.
The person who the dead warrior wanted to assassinate before.
Although he understood what was waiting for him, it was obvious that the end might not be good.
It’s over!
When the man saw the young Bai Yan walking to the sword stand, pulling out the sharp Qin sword and walking towards him, he immediately closed his eyes in despair.
But the next moment.
The expected death did not come, and the man suddenly felt the thick rope on his body loosen.
Confused, the man opened his eyes, and then saw all the thick ropes on his body falling off.
What does this mean?
The man looked at Bai Yan.
Under the man's doubtful gaze, Bai Yan had a strange look on his face and whispered:
"Little uncle!"
Bai Yan looked at his uncle who had disappeared for seven or eight years with a strange look in his eyes. When he was six or seven years old, when he went to his grandmother's house, his uncle would always take him to dig out bird's nests and boil eggs for him to eat.
When he was very young, his uncle told him all day long that he should eat well and grow stronger in the future so that a woman could marry him.
In the study room.
Ji Gu looked at Bai Yan with a puzzled look.
Uncle?
This Bai Yan is a descendant of the Bai family. How did he become Bai Yan's uncle? I'm afraid Bai Yan admitted the wrong person!
He does have an eldest sister, and the eldest sister does have a son.
Thinking of something, looking at the appearance of the young man in front of me, and thinking of the thin seven or eight-year-old child in my memory, the two figures slowly overlapped.
Ji Gu looked at Bai Yan in front of him, his eyes widened instantly, and his mouth gradually opened and closed.
"Yan'er?"
Ji Gu was completely stunned at this moment.
