"You kid, have you ever thought about how to deal with Zhao Qiu?"
When Mr. Wei returned to the study, he saw Bai Yan sitting on the mat in the study, drinking decoction in front of Master Xu.
Master Xu didn't know that the Zhao Qiu that Mr. Wei was talking about was the Shen Ji he had met before. After Bai Yan had a drink, he was ready to leave with the porcelain bowl.
But just before leaving.
Bai Yan stopped Master Xu, and under Master Xu's gaze, informed Master Xu of Zhao Qiu's identity.
After all, in the mansion, Bai Yan was worried that Master Xu didn't know Zhao Qiu's identity. With Zhao Qiu's intelligence, he might be deceived by Zhao Qiu.
"Um!"
Master Xu listened to Bai Yan's words, and when he learned that Shen Ji was actually the princess of Zhao, his beautiful eyes widened, and then he nodded slowly.
"General, don't worry, Master Xu will definitely pay attention!"
Master Xu said to Bai Yan, then turned and left.
Mr. Wei watched Master Xu leave with a curious look.
Regarding this maid, Mr. Wei never understood why Bai Yan valued her so much, and Mr. Wei could also feel that Bai Yan had always been very protective of this little girl.
Even Zhao Qiu’s identity was not concealed.
"Tell me, how to deal with Zhao Qiu!"
After Master Xu left, Mr. Wei looked at Bai Yan and continued to ask.
Regarding Master Xu, Mr. Wei did not intend to go into details. After all, Master Xu was just a little girl. Whether it was because of feelings or what the little girl had experienced with Bai Yan, Mr. Wei had no control over it.
What Mr. Wei cares more about is being able to escort Bai Yan when making important decisions.
"Mr. Wei, Bai Yan also has a headache!"
Bai Yan heard what Mr. Wei said and replied helplessly.
In the study room.
Mr. Wei looked at Bai Yan and shook his head.
"You boy!"
Later, Mr. Wei told Bai Yan all about the conversation he had with Zhao Qiu in the pavilion, as well as his instructions to Zhao Qiu.
Seeing Bai Yan's expression of surprise and relief, Mr. Wei's face darkened, and he felt confused about whether to laugh or cry.
He seemed to know what Bai Yan was thinking.
"You boy, Zhao Qiu can be at peace because if you don't take any action, if you send troops to replace the county or attack other vassal states in the future, my instructions will not be able to stabilize Zhao Qiu. Zhao Qiu and other noble women It’s different.”
Mr. Wei warned Bai Yan.
Mr. Wei naturally knew the purpose of King Qin's victory in the government, so he had no taboos and was very sure that Zhao was not the last country that Qin would destroy.
After Qin regains its strength, Ying Zheng will definitely turn his attention to other vassal states.
"Boy knows!"
Bai Yan looked at Mr. Wei and said helplessly.
Having been in contact with Zhao Qiu, Bai Yan didn't know why. Under Zhao Qiu's stunning appearance, compared to the mediocrity and vision of other noble women, Zhao Qiu, as the princess of the Zhao Kingdom, was superior in both means and knowledge. Countless times.
"I'll go see her later."
Bai Yan said to Mr. Wei.
Then Bai Yan saw Mr. Wei standing next to the wooden box, bending down to take out the bamboo slips from the wooden box and placing them on the wooden frame.
Bai Yan stood up slowly, came to the wooden box, and placed the bamboo slips with Mr. Wei.
"Boy, with your intelligence, I don't worry about how you are doing in court. Besides, with me here, you don't need to rush to learn this plain calligraphy."
After Mr. Wei finished speaking, under Bai Yan's gaze, he pointed to several large boxes on the side: "In those wooden boxes are my tips for writing Taigong's Six Taoists. You must take a look at those!"
Bai Yan listened to Mr. Wei's words.
He slowly came to the large wooden boxes, bent down and reached out to pick up a roll of bamboo slips. Then he stood next to the wooden box, untied the string on the bamboo slips, opened it, and looked at the contents.
Looking at the dense handwriting written on the bamboo slips inside the bamboo slips, Bai Yan could imagine that behind each word, Mr. Wei was writing alone.
Think of this.
Bai Yan looked at the elderly Wei beside him, and then put away the bamboo slips in his hand.
Just as Mr. Wei was picking up the bamboo slips and placing them on the wooden frame, he suddenly saw Bai Yan coming to the side, then kneeling on the ground, prostrate and bowing to him.
"Bai Yan kneels down to thank his teacher for his kindness in teaching!"
Mr. Wei looked at Bai Yan who was kneeling on the ground and listened to Bai Yan's words.
On the old wrinkled face, his eyes showed a dazed look, a little surprised, and then he seemed to smile, with relief and satisfaction in the smile.
"Get up!"
Mr. Wei said to Bai Yan.
Recalling the time when they met in Qi State, when he first met the young man and tested him, he decided to accept the young man as his disciple. Therefore, he followed the young man for several days until he reached the Zhuo River before giving up.
At that time, the young man determined to join the Qin Dynasty and enlisted in the army for Qin's meritorious service.
It had been a long time since he heard about the young man again. At that time, rumors about Shangjun Gaonu came into his ears. When he heard the name of the general, he had a vague premonition.
It was probably a boy he had met once.
"If there is a chance, I would go to Tian Jin's tomb and toast him with a glass of wine!"
Mr. Wei looked at the young man who stood up slowly after kowtowing and couldn't help but said melancholy.
It would be great if Tian Jin was alive.
"Tell me, where is Tian Jin's tomb?"
Mr. Wei looked at Bai Yan and asked.
After getting up, Bai Yan heard Mr. Wei mention Jin Gong and slowly raised his hands.
"Teacher, Jin Gong's tomb is ten miles outside Linzi City, in a small forest!"
Bai Yanji said politely.
At this moment, Bai Yan's mind was flashing back to the night he last saw Jin Gong before he left.
"Zhong Yan, remember that if there is a chance in the future and revenge is taken, bring a jug of wine here."
Thinking back to the last words Jin Gong said to him before he left, Bai Yan's eyes turned red.
It would be great if Jin Gong could see what he looks like now.
You will be very pleased to see that the boy you once taught is now in charge of the military and has gained some fame and status.
Thinking of the graves of Duke Jin and other mentors.
Bai Yan couldn't help but think that since he was not in Linzi, grass would have grown on the grave.
But for now, he can only weed the grass with his own hands when he returns to Qi in the future.
And according to his original promise, after avenging those mentors, he would bring a pot of wine with him.
"Next time I go to Qi, I must go and see it!"
When Mr. Wei heard Bai Yan's words, he felt a little melancholy. Looking at Bai Yan, he seemed to sense Bai Yan's emotions and sighed.
"I'll just do it here. I know the order and can do it easily. You go and see Zhao Qiu first!"
Mr. Wei looked at Bai Yan.
Bai Yan heard this, thought for a while, nodded to Mr. Wei, then bowed his hands to Mr. Wei and bowed before slowly retreating.
Giving kindness and benefit, a lifetime of learning, is the blessing of a bachelor's life, and the kindness he has received throughout his life should be repaid throughout his life.
Since Bai Yan wants to learn from Mr. Wei's lifelong learning, he naturally knows that Mr. Wei is his teacher, and he should treat him as a mentor.
Even the kings studied under the guidance of the master.
He Bai Yan learned from Wei Lao, how could he be negligent in the slightest.
In the study room.
Mr. Wei looked at Bai Yan's leaving figure with sadness in his eyes.
Tian Jin!
Thinking of my old friends from the past.
When Bai Yan finishes his studies, he will definitely find an opportunity to visit Qi State and see his friend's tombstone.
The backyard of the mansion.
In a room, Zhao Qiu knelt and sat on a seat in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside.
In front of Zhao Qiu, tea was placed on the wooden table. The tea was still full and seemed untouched.
After an unknown amount of time, the maid's voice came from outside the door, and then the sound of the door being opened was heard.
Zhao Qiu turned around and saw Bai Yan walking into the room.
His eyes were full of complexity.
Seeing the young Bai Yan approaching, Zhao Qiu did not get up in a hurry.
Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu and couldn't help but remember that the last time they met was in Handan, the capital of Zhao State.
At that time, no one could have imagined that they would meet again in Yanmen County.
Just inside the mansion at your feet.
"I've met Princess Zhao!"
Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu, who was dressed in Zhao clothes and was so beautiful, and slowly prepared the ceremony.
Bai Yan was not surprised that Zhao Qiu didn't get up, because he and Zhao Qiu both understood each other's identities and Zhao Qiu's situation.
Moreover, Mr. Wei has already said what needs to be said.
In the study room.
Zhao Qiu's beautiful eyes looked at the young man who was bowing in front of her, her thin lips moved slightly, and she asked softly.
"I wonder if Zhao Qiu should be called Qin Zuo's concubine, General Bai Yan! Or...Xu Junzi?"
