After deciding to go to Handan.
Although Bai Yan slept soundly, he woke up on his own in the middle of the night.
After getting up from the bed, light the candle in the room.
The bright moon and stars outside the window have receded, leaving only darkness, and the sound of insects chirping in the dark night.
By the window.
Bai Yan came to the wooden table with a candle lamp and looked at the sky outside. Since he couldn't sleep, he continued writing the bamboo slips.
After a long time.
After filling in the back part of the bamboo slip, Bai Yan stopped writing and stretched out his hand.
Bai Yan raised his head and looked out the window. He had a headache when he thought of going to Handan.
Bai Yan is not worried about his own safety. The king has prepared a new identity for him, not to mention that he is not going to use the identity given to him by the king.
Before his identity was exposed, in Xianyang, Bai Yan asked Lu Qi to help him connect some young gentry sons who went to Zhao to do business.
At that time, Bai Yan wanted to use those people to see if he could bribe some Zhao officials and bring some iron ore to Shangjun to build a heavy cavalry of more than a hundred people.
Extravagance was prevalent in Zhao State. Under this trend, Bai Yan knew how greedy those Zhao State officials were.
However, due to lack of money, things have been delayed.
Unexpectedly, by mistake, he inadvertently gave him a clear path and helped him a big favor at this time.
Compared with going to Handan as a stranger arranged by the king, if he could mix with those noble children, it would be easier for people to relax their vigilance and get closer to Gongzi Jia.
"Gongzijia!"
Bai Yan whispered the name and frowned slightly. The person who really gave him a headache was this person.
To drive a wedge between Li Mu and Zhao Wangqian, this young master Jia is crucial.
But at the moment, he has never been exposed to Gongzi Jia's preferences and personality. The first time he meets Gongzi Jia, he must not be abrupt and need a good excuse.
It would be best if Gongzijia could take the initiative to find him and fawn over him.
"It's difficult to live in an unfamiliar place!"
Bai Yan sighed and put away the bamboo slips.
After that, Bai Yan began to write the second volume of bamboo slips.
At dawn, the maid in the mansion entered the room with water, and Bai Yan just stopped writing.
He got up and went to the wooden stand and started washing.
"Master Tai Jing, have you woken up?"
Bai Yan asked while washing up.
"General, your Excellency woke up in the middle of the night last night, but..."
The maid nodded and said, but after the words, she hesitated a little.
Bai Yan saw this, wiped his face with a clean cloth, and then turned to look at the maid.
"explain!"
Bai Yan spoke.
After hearing Bai Yan's inquiry, the maid did not dare to hide anything, so she told what happened last night.
"Last night, Mr. Tai Jing got drunk and had sex. He brought He, the concubine of Zhao General Zhao You, into the room and defiled her."
After the maid finished speaking, she lowered her head.
Bai Yan frowned slightly when he heard the maid's words. He didn't expect that Tai Jing would do such a thing.
He had seen the He family before. He was the concubine of Zhao General Zhao You. When the Zhao army retreated, due to the hardships along the way, General Sima Shang was in the army again. Therefore, Zhao You was worried that the concubine would hold him back, so he did not take the concubine with him. concubine.
Of course, these words were spoken by He himself.
When Bai Yan saw that He's appearance was good and her brows were graceful, although she was not as stunning and unforgettable as Bao's, she was still a beauty.
The most important thing was that he could feel that He's eyes were a little dodgey when he spoke.
Perhaps this matter was not just due to Tai Jing.
Thinking of this, the corners of Bai Yan's mouth slightly raised.
"Don't tell anyone about this matter!"
Bai Yan ordered.
This mansion is not his mansion. The He family was supposed to be rewarded to meritorious generals after the war.
At the moment, whether it was He who was trying to seduce someone or Tai Jing who had lost his moral integrity after drinking, he was happy to see it.
Tai Jing's Zhili Dianke was the first to know the news about other vassal states, as well as other tribes and county officials.
If you sell yourself a favor now, it might be of great use in the future.
"This slave knows!"
The maid nodded.
After Bai Yan finished washing, he turned and walked out of the study.
Outside the study.
Bai Yan called Ye Ye over and asked him to prepare a carriage and take the He family to wait inside the carriage.
Bai Yan also asked him to bring some words to the He family, telling her that although the Tai family in Qin was not as noble as the Wang family and the Li family, it was still a famous family in Shu, which was enough for her to have good clothing and food, and she did not have to spend every day. The sun is frightened.
After arriving at Taishi, stop having other thoughts and just enjoy yourself in peace and quiet.
In the main hall.
Breakfast had been prepared. When Bai Yan came to the main hall, Tai Jing, a young man, was kneeling in front of the wooden table. He had not eaten a bite of the meat on the table and looked very reserved and uneasy.
Tai Jing's face was a little dazed, and when he suddenly saw Bai Yan arriving, he stood up quickly.
"General Bai Yan!"
Tai Jing bowed his hands to Bai Yan.
"Master Tai Jing! Sit down."
Bai Yan returned Tai Jing's hand and gestured for him to sit down.
Arriving at the wooden table above, Bai Yan knelt down and looked at the delicious dishes and meat prepared by the maid, and then looked at the breakfast on Tai Jing's table.
"Why don't Master Tai Jing eat? It's because he doesn't like these vegetables!"
Bai Yan asked softly, a little confused.
Tai Jing shook his head quickly and looked at Bai Yan, his expression full of uneasiness.
Just when Bai Yan wanted to ask something else, Tai Jing finally couldn't help it, got up from his seat again, hurried to the front of the main hall, knelt down in front of Bai Yan and bowed.
"General Bai Yan, save me! Yesterday, yesterday."
Tai Jing knelt on the ground, shaking his head in panic, and then looked at Bai Yan in panic: "Yesterday, Tai Jing was drunk for a while, and because of his obsession, he gave away the He family!"
Tai Jing did not say the rest.
As the son of the Tai family, and at a young age, he became an official directly subordinate to Dianke. His future was bright and his father and clan members had high hopes for him.
The He family matter is a big deal. After all, it involves rewards for military exploits. If it is not handled well, not only will it be guilty, but it will also offend other generals who are fighting on the battlefield. If the generals admonish Xianyang at that time, the consequences will be disastrous.
But as small as it is, it depends on whether Bai Yan, the deputy general of the army, is willing to help him.
In the main hall.
When Bai Yan saw Tai Jing kneeling on the ground, he looked at Tai Jing pretending to be helpless. After waiting for a while, he shook his head and stood up, walked around the wooden table, and stepped forward to help Tai Jing up.
"Does Master Tai Jing know the identity of the He family?"
Bai Yan sighed.
After saying that, Bai Yan helped Tai Jing up, pulled Tai Jing to the wooden table where Tai Jing was sitting just now, and motioned for Tai Jing to sit down.
"Know!"
Tai Jing nodded.
Looking at Bai Yan, who was younger than himself, Tai Jing still didn't know whether Bai Yan was willing to save him, so he could only nod.
As the two of them knelt down in front of the wooden table, Tai Jing looked at Bai Yan's frown and couldn't help but swallow, sweat appearing on his forehead.
Tai Jing looked at Bai Yan with eyes full of pleading. He had a bright future and he didn't want to delay his life.
It was all because I drank too much last night, and I woke up in a daze. After seeing the beauty, I learned that the beauty was not General Bai Yan's person. As I was brave at night, I suddenly knew that I couldn't control it.
"Sir Tai Jing, Bai Yan also didn't hide it from you, the wooden box the king asked you to send this time is full of gold."
Bai Yan stood up, frowned, took two steps forward, and then turned to look at Tai Jing again.
"Master Tai Jing, do you know why?"
Bai Yan asked.
Tai Jing looked at Bai Yan blankly. Before he could finish speaking, he saw Bai Yan looking outside the main hall. After making sure that no one was there, he turned around, sighed, and whispered to him.
"Bbribe General Zhao!"
When Tai Jing heard Bai Yan's words, he looked at Bai Yan completely stupidly. Then when he understood what he was talking about, his whole body softened and he sat on the spot.
At this moment, Tai Jing didn't realize that the matter was far more serious than he imagined.
Bai Yan's subsequent words indeed proved that Tai Jing's prediction was correct.
"After the capture of Yanyu, Bai Yan had ordered people to send the news about the He family to Xianyang, and he bluntly stated that he would return the He family plus a thousand pieces of gold to plot against Zhao You."
Bai Yan's voice made Tai Jing's heart feel cold.
No wonder two boxes of gold were sent!
It’s over!
Tai Jing knew that General Bai Yan had told Xianyang that he would spend thousands of gold and the He family to instigate Zhao General Zhao You to rebel. Then Zhao You would definitely ask for his concubine, the He family.
But now that he has defiled the He family, how could General Bai Yan dare to return the He family to Zhao You.
Since then, doesn't it mean that he has delayed the attack on Zhao?
"My whole career is ruined!"
Tai Jing's face turned pale and he murmured that he did not expect that his momentary indulgence would lead to such a disaster.
At this moment, Tai Jing's heart was full of despair, and his vision almost went black in a daze.
Thinking of his future future, Tai Jing was completely disheartened. He knew that the king would never be lenient to him who hindered the destruction of Zhao.
In the main hall.
Bai Yan stood in front of the wooden table and looked at Tai Jing's face from the corner of his eye.
Knowing that adding carrots to a stick, the effect of this hammer has been achieved, and Tai Jing is about to collapse and cannot bear it.
"It doesn't have to be like this! If Bai Yan wanted to hold him to account, how could there be a table of wine and meat?"
Bai Yan pretended to be helpless and said, shaking his head slightly.
In front of wooden table.
Tai Jing, who was already desperate, suddenly heard Bai Yan's words and realized something in a daze.
General Bai Yan means that there is still a turning point! ! !
Tai Jing looked at the table of food and wine in front of him and immediately came to his senses. He hurriedly kneeled and crawled to come to Bai Yan.
"General Bai, is there any way to save me?"
Tai Jing grabbed Bai Yan's feet and asked in a panic.
At this moment, Tai Jing was like a drowning man, grasping at the last straw to save his life.
"As long as General Bai saves me, if General Bai Yan needs me in the future, Tai Jingwan will fight to the death and be willing to act like a cow or a horse to repay General Bai Yan's kindness!"
Tai Jing was definitely not joking when he said this.
If Bai Yan can't do anything now, he will definitely not end well.
"Master Tai Jing, get up! We are destined to have a good conversation yesterday. How could Bai Yan just watch Master Tai Jing being punished today?"
Bai Yan pulled Tai Jing to his feet, and his words did not sound condescending because of Tai Jing's words. Instead, he looked as close to him as he did yesterday.
Then, under Tai Jing's panicked gaze, Bai Yan looked embarrassed and told Tai Jing softly.
"The matter of instigating rebellion is unknown, so who can predict General Zhao's character!"
After Bai Yan finished speaking, he looked at Tai Jing with a calm expression.
Tai Jing still didn't know what Bai Yan meant, his face was ecstatic, but he suddenly realized what he meant.
"What about He?"
Tai Jing asked, looking puzzled.
Under Tai Jing's gaze, Bai Yan looked at him for a moment, until Tai Jing became extremely uneasy.
"I have ordered people to put He on the carriage. Lord Tai Jing can go back to Xianyang first. He will be sent to Lord Tai Jing's house soon."
After Bai Yan finished speaking, he saw Tai Jing's eyes widened and he stood there with a dull look on his face.
After regaining consciousness.
Tai Jing's face was full of ecstasy. Having survived from a desperate situation, he looked at Bai Yan with great excitement.
"Thank you General Bai Yan for saving your life!"
Tai Jing cried with joy, but fortunately Bai Yan stopped him, otherwise he would have knelt down to perform the ceremony again.
Bai Yan smiled.
The matter of driving a wedge between Li Mu and Zhao Wangqian was of great importance, and Tai Jing could not possibly know about it, and now he had told Tai Jing that he was bribing Zhao General Zhao You.
Tai Jing had already done this, but after returning to Qin, he didn't dare to let anyone know about it.
As for the He family, it was very simple for him. Not to mention that the king was in the bamboo slips, and he had already said that if he had any requests, he could just submit a letter.
The king ordered him to go to Handan. As a deputy general, he naturally had to inform Wang Jian about this matter. After the war, even if his servants reported it to other generals, if the other generals informed Wang Jian that He was missing, Wang Jian would think it was wrong. He took him to Handan.
Therefore, dealing with the He family is very simple.
"Master Tai Jing, the vegetables are already cold, can you still eat them?"
Bai Yan asked.
No more talk about the He family, just point it out.
"Yes! Yes!"
When Tai Jing heard Bai Yan's words, he nodded quickly. He didn't expect that after he lost his moral character after drinking, Bai Yan not only concealed it for him, but also secretly gave him the beauty of the He family.
Tai Jing naturally knew how much risk General Bai Yan took by doing this.
Therefore, his gratitude to Bai Yan cannot be described in words.
On the dinner table.
With his mind gone, Tai Jing's appetite increased and he ate the vegetables until he was full.
"General Bai, have you ever heard that apart from food and herbs, the women of Bashu are also unique?"
Tai Jing looked at Bai Yan, his words were full of flattery.
Bai Yan helped him so much, Tai Jing felt that he had nothing to repay, so he could only go to his hometown of Bashu to find some young women for Bai Yan to give to Bai Yan.
"Have heard a little bit!"
Bai Yan listened to Tai Jing's words, put down his bowls and chopsticks, looked at Tai Jing, smiled and nodded.
He also heard something.
The mountains and rivers of Bashu gave birth to a Shu girl. The Shu girl has a beautiful waist and is comparable to the Chu girl. However, her temperament is gentler than that of the Chu girl. The Shu girl's mind is more agile.
When King Qin Huiwen agreed with Sima Cuo's decision to attack Shu, some people once said that if Qin conquered Shu, it would not only gain a lot of granaries, but also suffer from years of famine.
Um?
forage!
Bai Yan suddenly thought of something and watched Tai Jing praising the Shu girl eloquently.
"Lord Tai Jing!"
Bai Yan asked.
As Tai Jing was talking, he suddenly heard Bai Yan interrupt, and then saw Bai Yan's appearance, which was a little strange.
"General Bai Yan, what's wrong?"
Tai Jing asked with some confusion why he felt that Bai Yan was not very interested in Shu girls.
Under Tai Jing's confused gaze, Bai Yan thought for a while.
"Master Tai Jing, if Master Tai Jing returns to Shu, how much food and grass can be raised if he has money?"
Bai Yan asked, and after two breaths, he looked directly at Tai Jing: "Non-official food!"
The terrain of Shu is fertile and there is sufficient food and grass. Bai Yan knows that there are officials in other places who practice favoritism and malpractice. Shu is far away from Xianyang, and the nobles and nobles there will never be honest.
This is why Tai Jing agreed so much with the king's latest move yesterday.
"forage?"
Tai Jing listened to Bai Yan's words. Although he didn't know why Bai Yan wanted food and grass, because it was Bai Yan's relationship, Tai Jing still asked, "It depends on how much the general wants!"
Seeing this, Bai Yan stretched out a palm.
"Fifty thousand stones!"
Bai Yan knew that this was a very exaggerated figure. After all, his title of Zuo Shuzhang meant that his annual salary was only 550 dan.
"Fifty thousand dan, if you have money, it's easy!"
After Tai Jing saw the number Bai Yan said, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled nonchalantly.
He thought how much it was, fifty thousand dan, very simple.
Tai Jing's appearance made Bai Yan a little off guard. He was stunned and looked at Tai Jing in disbelief.
"Master Tai Jing means that there can be more?"
Bai Yan asked.
Tai Jing nodded.
This scene made Bai Yan's face full of surprise, and then he laughed, very happily.
At this moment, he already knew how to approach Gongzi Jia, or in other words, let Gongzi Jia take the initiative to find him, or even please him.
