When Bai Yan was originally in Gaonu, he expected to stay in Yuzhong City for at least two to three days.
But I didn't expect that because of being framed, Feng Quji happened to be in the county lieutenant's mansion!
By chance, the stirrup matter went more smoothly than imagined.
So.
After settling the stirrup matter, Bai Yan decided not to stay in Yuzhong City.
Because Bai Yan didn't know how long it would take before he had to go to Xianyang.
Gaonu belongs to the border of Shangjun and is far away from Xianyang. It takes at least half a month to go back and forth.
At the moment, Gaonu City is in dire straits. If half a month's worth of affairs are backlogged together, Bai Yan can't believe how many things will be waiting for him to deal with when he comes back from Xianyang.
The day after the banquet.
In the officer's mansion, Bai Yan placed the two war horses he brought with him in the mansion, and then took away the other two war horses from the officer's mansion.
"General, everything is ready!"
After putting the package on the horse, Ye turned to Bai Yan and said, at this moment, it was obvious that Ye had not slept for long.
And like Ye, there are two people, Huai and Pei.
The three of them had dark circles under their eyes early in the morning and yawned countless times.
Because of Bai Yan's words, the three of them completely indulged last night and got out of control. However, they were not restrained and continued to play until morning.
Fortunately, Bai Yan took this into consideration and did not set out early in the morning. Instead, he waited until nearly noon before preparing to set off.
However, although they didn't sleep for long, the trip to the restaurant last night really relaxed the three of them. The relaxation in their hearts made the three of them feel more relaxed than before.
"Let's go!"
Bai Yan nodded, looked at Ye's appearance, couldn't help but smile, and then led Master Xu towards the outside of the mansion.
It is now almost noon, and General Hu Jin has not returned home.
It stands to reason that no matter how drunk Hu Jin is, he should wake up.
Bai Yan guessed that the reason why Hu Jin had not been seen returning to the mansion from morning to now was that the nobles from other places had begun to visit the governor's mansion.
Only this explanation is the most likely.
The Sheriff's Mansion.
When Bai Yan left the Governor's Mansion, the Governor's Mansion was indeed bustling with excitement, and some nobles from the same place had already come to visit him.
And being able to receive news so quickly shows that these nobles from other places are not simple. At least they have close relationships with court officials.
Therefore, Feng Quji was very old. After drinking yesterday, he still got up early and asked his servants and maids to entertain the nobles who came to congratulate him.
Bai Yan's guess was correct. Because there were so many people who came to congratulate him, after congratulating Feng Quji in person, many people did not go to crowd, but chatted with Hu Jin and Li Pingyan.
After all, Hu Jin and Li Pingyan were not only county captains and censors, but more importantly, behind them were the Hu family and the Li family.
"grown ups!"
At this time, a servant hurriedly came to the mansion with a Qin official, and came to Feng Quji from among the nobles.
See this.
Feng Quji and other young and old nobles around him looked over, curious about what was going on.
The originally lively scene gradually became quiet, and in the end, everyone stopped talking and looked at each other together.
"What's the matter?"
Feng Quji did not panic, he still looked skillful and steady.
Then, with everyone watching, the Qin official stepped forward and saluted Feng Quji.
"Master Feng, the Xianyang edict is from General Gao Nubai!"
Qin Li said to Feng Quji.
"The edict given by Xianyang to Bai Yan must be for Bai Yan to go to Xianyang!"
"Then Bai Yan really made a splash, and he really entered the court this time!"
"Speaking of which, I will find an opportunity to go to the county captain's mansion later. I don't know if Bai Yan has left."
"I don't know. I originally planned to get to know Bai Yan after visiting Mr. Feng. I have all the money ready!"
In the mansion, whether in the main hall or outside the courtyard, when everyone heard what Official Qin said, they started shouting again and whispered to each other.
Thinking of the young Bai Yan, a descendant of the Bai family, these old men and young men from the gentry were all sighing in their hearts.
When Bai Qi died, only Bai Yu was in power in the Bai family. Everyone, even the whole world, thought that the Bai family had declined.
Never thought about it.
In this short period of half a year, a disciple named Bai Yan suddenly appeared in the Bai family. At the beginning of his fame, he made many military exploits.
The battle that happened some time ago left everyone dumbfounded. More than 12,000 warriors faced 150,000 Xiongnu and Yuezhi troops.
Burn the city!
A word that makes everyone tremble in their hearts. After hearing it, countless old people will think of Bai Qi, who frightened the world and was so fierce.
The same is against the enemy, the same is not leaving a way to survive, and the same is not caring about the victory or defeat of a city. The result is to eliminate all enemy soldiers without leaving a trace of life.
As long as they are old and have seen the world, they can feel this battle. Bai Yan's feeling is very similar to that of Bai Qi.
This was a feeling Bai Yudu had never given them back then.
But the difference is that Bai Yan is still very young now.
No one knows how far Bai Yan can go in the future, which is why in this battle, many people of the older generation did see that Bai Yan had the shadow of his ancestor Bai Qi, but they still did not exclaim, Bai Qi The clan has risen.
"What? Bai Yan just left?"
Along with Hu Jin's startled voice from the other side, many people looked over, and then saw Hu Jin walking over, telling the Qin official that Bai Yan had just left the prefecture and it was still too late to pursue him.
Seeing Hu Jin asking his servants to take Qin officials to chase him, every man and old man in the yard fell silent.
As long as this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Bai Yan.
After all, everyone here knew that this edict was probably for Bai Yan to go to Xianyang.
"What? Zhong Yan is at the city gate?"
Lu Mansion, Lu Qi, who was originally planning to go to the Sheriff's Mansion with his uncle Lu Jia, suddenly heard a servant reporting the news.
At this moment, Lu Qi's face was full of confusion.
Turning his head to see his uncles Lu Jia and Lu Sheng in the yard in the distance, they were walking towards the outside of the house. Lu Qi was helpless as to why it was so unlucky.
"What's wrong? Have you found Zhong Yan?"
After Lu You saw Lu Sheng leaving the mansion, he walked over quickly and asked in a low voice.
Lu Qi looked at Lu You and nodded with a bitter look on his fat face.
"How about going to the governor's house first and then looking for Zhong Yan later? Or should I go?"
Lu You understood what Lu Qi was struggling with and said softly.
However, after the words fell, Lu Qi did not answer in a hurry, his eyes were filled with confusion.
"no!"
Lu Qi shook his head, Lu You was not Lu Qi.
Lu Qi knew that his relationship with Zhong Yan was a hundred times better than that of Lu You.
Some things must be asked in person before Zhong Yan can tell them.
"Why?"
Lu You looked stunned and looked at Lu Qi, who was hesitant and confused.
Thinking of something, Lu You laughed in a panic, feeling that there was something wrong with the fat man in front of him.
"Don't mess around. You can put off the matter of meeting Zhong Yan for a while. There will be a chance to meet in the future. Going to the governor's house is the top priority right now. If you go to find Zhong Yan, if Lu Sheng really meets that general Bai, don't you? Worry?"
Lu You turned around and looked around, then spoke to persuade.
Early this morning, when Lu Sheng and Lu Qi saw each other, they started to get angry. Fortunately, Lu Sheng didn't know yet that he and his father had already cooperated with Lu Qi.
"Follow me and help me keep an eye on Lu Sheng!"
Lu Qi suddenly made up his mind and looked at Lu You.
Lu Qi knew his own weight. With so many people in the governor's mansion, it would be of little use for him to go to the governor's mansion. The same goes for Lu Sheng.
Therefore, as long as Lu You is watching over Lu Sheng, there will be no mistakes.
Compared with Lu Sheng, his biggest reliance was not Lu Jia, but Zhong Yan, who had been helping him in Yingchuan.
The most urgent task now is to find out why Zhong Yan accepted Master Xu, otherwise he would never feel at ease.
As long as Zhong Yan still helps him, he won't worry about Lu Sheng.
"ah?"
Lu You looked confused and looked at Lu Qi without explaining a word, turning around and leaving.
"Lucy..."
Lu You's eyes widened and he wanted to catch up. However, when he thought that Lu Sheng had already left and was heading to the governor's mansion, it would be too late to catch up if he delayed any longer.
Lu You could only curse inwardly, and quickly turned around to tell his servants that he would follow his father to the governor's mansion. If Lu Qi came back, he would go find his little sister if anything happened.
