Zhao Guo?
Bai Yan muttered these two words and walked out of Lu Mansion accompanied by Master Xu.
Placed in the main hall, Lu Ru's words also reminded Bai Yan that it was not only Mi Qi in the Xianyang court who wanted him dead.
After the battle with Gaonu, as word spread, the neighboring State of Zhao also did not wish him well.
Bai Yan remembered what Bai Yu had said to him back in Yangcheng.
Li Xin was defeated because Li Mu did not kill him at all.
If we, the Bai clan, are defeated, Li Mu and the Zhao people will never leave a trace of life.
"Zhong Yan, please find a way. Lu Sheng has admired General Bai for a long time. He finally came to Shangjun. He really wants to see General Bai!"
Lu Sheng followed Bai Yan to the outside of the mansion. When he saw Bai Yan stop and prepare to say goodbye, he thought about it and said without giving up.
"Do your best!"
Bai Yan raised his hand to Lu Sheng.
At this time, Lu Sheng looked at Yan and thought that Lu Qi might come to Yuzhong in a day or two.
At this time, Lu Sheng thought for a moment and made up his mind.
"In the past, Guan Zhongyan was interested in Master Xu. Today, Lu Sheng will give Master Xu to Zhong Yan."
Lu Sheng turned to Master Xu and said.
When he said this, Lu Sheng had already weighed the pros and cons.
Master Xu was a famous guzheng player in his restaurant and was well-known in Xianyang. In addition to his good appearance, he was reluctant to give it to Yan at first. He just wanted to use Master Xu to whet Yan's appetite.
But this time General Bai has made such a great contribution, and the title of general is already confirmed.
Think about it.
Now, no matter whether he could not see General Bai for the past two days or not, he still had to spend a lot of money to lure Zhong Yan away from Lu Qi and let him plan for him.
"Huh? How does this work?"
Bai Yan was full of surprise when he heard Lu Sheng's words.
At present, Gao Nu has been destroyed and cannot be restored in a short time. Bai Yan originally planned to let Master Xu follow Lu Sheng back to Xianyang.
As long as Lu Sheng still needs him, he will treat Master Xu well and will not give Master Xu to anyone.
This is why he is not in a hurry.
Never thought about it.
This Lu Sheng was generous and directly invested his money. When he was leaving, he suddenly spoke and directly gave Master Xu to him.
But soon, Bai Yan understood that it must be the previous incident with Gao Nu that had stimulated Lu Sheng, or as Master Xu said, Lu Qi would come to Shangjun soon.
This is what makes Lu Sheng so anxious and expensive!
"I didn't know Zhong Yan's contribution before, but now I know it, but I'm still not prepared."
Looking at Yan's eyes, Lu Sheng smiled, pretending to be ashamed, and then looked at Master Xu: "Master Xu has a charming appearance and excellent talents. There are many people in Xianyang who admire him. At present, the only way to do this is to give Master Xu to Zhong Yan. Show Lu Sheng’s intentions!”
Lu Sheng expressed the importance of this congratulatory gift by praising Master Xu.
Even Lu Sheng himself felt that after giving Master Xu to Yan, Zhong Yan had no reason not to get close to him.
In front of the house.
Bai Yan looked at Lu Sheng, then turned to look at Master Xu who lowered his head.
Since Lu Sheng wanted to send it off, Bai Yan thought about it and decided not to refuse, so as to avoid trouble in the future.
After all, Lu Sheng was in charge of the restaurant, so it was hard for him to ask Lu Qi for someone.
"Then, Yanbian is disrespectful. One day in the future, he will be rewarded generously!"
Bai Yan looked at Lu Sheng, cupped his hands and said.
This sentence is not a lie. Even if Lu Sheng does not know that Master Xu is good and evil, Bai Yan will return this favor if there is a chance in the future.
"Master Xu! From now on, you will be Zhong Yan's man."
Lu Sheng heard Bai Yan's words and did not refuse. He turned to Master Xu and said.
Looking at Master Xu, Lu Sheng felt a little distressed. After all, Master Xu was a little famous in the restaurant.
But when I think about Lu Buwei giving his concubine to Ying Yiren, I think of many other things like this.
What's more, Master Xu is not his concubine, but belongs to the restaurant.
At present, helping him maintain the relationship with Zhong Yan can be regarded as doing his best, and the clan members can talk no matter where they are.
"yes!"
Master Xu lowered his head, nodded timidly, and then stood quietly next to Bai Yan.
Lu Sheng looked at Bai Yan and cupped his hands.
Bai Yan also returned the favor.
After the ceremony, Bai Yan took Master Xu and left the Lu Mansion.
on the street.
Bai Yan took Master Xu and soon arrived at the place where the murder occurred.
The street was already crowded with people.
"You think, why can't they think about it and just hit the wall and die?"
"I don't know, but I heard that it was the cavalry officer who bullied others, and these two people couldn't bear the humiliation."
"Ah! How is that possible? Not long ago, General Bai led an army of cavalry to fight to the death to defend the gates of Shangjun and prevent the people of Shangjun from suffering. How could General Bai's soldiers use their power to bully others?"
One by one, the people looked at the two corpses lying on the ground in a pool of blood in the distance, and started talking one after another.
While talking.
Some people who knew the ins and outs showed off everything they had learned, enjoying the looks of their companions and others.
Many people did not believe that the cavalry soldiers were responsible. After all, it was those cavalry soldiers who fought bloody battles some time ago, and they had just survived the disaster.
"General Bai is General Bai. It's true that General Bai is a good soldier. Not to mention the common people, even I know in my heart that General Bai has a good heart, but the person who did this is a cavalry soldier. That General Bai is young and has just become The commander of the cavalry will not be around for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will be negligent!"
"When you say that, it seems to make sense!"
The scary thing about rumors is that the people who have been busy farming the fields have limitations in what they know.
In the eyes of the people, what they see and hear is often true, otherwise why would so many people say it?
Therefore, no matter how many people believe a person's words, as long as someone believes it, it will spread wider and wider, and more and more people will believe it.
Bai Yan stood in the crowd and looked at the people who had sworn the oath. He knew that it was too late to arrest those people for questioning. The matter had already spread and it was difficult to trace the source.
It is even possible that if you continue to ask, you will find nothing.
After all, this thing was done deliberately to make this idea appear in the minds of the people. It was done on purpose.
"Step aside!"
"Step aside!!"
In the distance, a Qin soldier holding a long sword came from the distant street and began to replace the Qin officials and guard the scene.
"Let's go!"
Bai Yan turned to Master Xu and then continued walking forward from the crowd.
Master Xu quickly followed.
Looking at the general walking in front, Master Xu was full of doubts. After hearing Lu Ru's words in Lu Mansion, he now heard the discussions of these people here.
Even she had a vague feeling at this moment that maybe someone wanted to slander General Bai Yan as Lu Ru said.
But she didn't understand why the general didn't look worried at all, even though she felt something was wrong.
There's no way the general couldn't hear it!
on the street.
Bai Yan walked slowly with Master Xu, and frowned slightly when he heard the common people talking in his ears from time to time.
Is it Mi Qi or Zhao Guo?
The whole process from Yang Xian's resignation to Feng Quji's appointment only took about ten days. He was able to think of countermeasures in such a short period of time and knew the day when Feng Quji would take office.
It’s unlikely to be other forces!
Mi Qi and Zhao Guo are the most suspicious.
Thinking about it.
All the way to the county captain's mansion.
Outside the gate of the mansion, Huai had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Bai Yan, he hurriedly stepped forward.
"General, someone slandered a soldier and then hit the wall and died! Ye and Peck have already gone to question the soldier."
Huai raised his hands to Bai Yan and said, he already felt that someone was deliberately discrediting the general's lax military management.
"Is there any result?"
Bai Yan asked, not too anxious.
Even a woman like Lu Ru could quickly figure out the strangeness of this matter. Wei Rong, the governor of Yuzhong City, could not think of it, and it was absolutely impossible for the county governor Feng Quji not to know about it.
"Still investigating!"
Huai said to Bai Yan.
While talking, Huai suddenly thought of something and hurriedly told Bai Yan.
"General, the county guard is also in the house!"
Huai informed Bai Yan about Feng Quji's death in the mansion.
When Bai Yan heard this, he was full of surprise and looked at the gate of the county lieutenant's mansion in front of him.
Feng Quji, who would become the prime minister of Qin in the future, is now in the mansion!
