Bai Yan looked at Uncle Meng's impatient look, his expression was submissive, but he was complaining in his heart.
If it weren't for what happened to Su Han, he would have to bow slightly to Mengshi on the surface, otherwise Bai Yan would really not want to pay attention to Uncle Meng.
In terms of ability, although Uncle Meng is a general, he is actually inferior to ordinary generals. In terms of person, he is even inferior to the younger generation Meng Tian, let alone in terms of scheming.
I don't give myself any face at the moment.
Bai Yan was helpless.
But despite being helpless, Bai Yan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He was the one who ordered Su Han to be killed before. If he doesn't lower his head now, in the eyes of the world, he will think that he doesn't take Mengshi seriously.
You can't wear this hat.
But now he has shown his kindness to Uncle Meng, but Uncle Meng is not happy with him and doesn't even see him. This is different in the eyes of the world.
One is not taking Montessori seriously, the other is enforcing the law impartially and feels guilty.
The senses between the two are different. Not to mention what the world is like, Meng's foundation and connections in the Qin court, as well as the relationships that Meng Ao left in the army during his lifetime, these officials and generals cannot What about him.
After all, he had bowed his head.
Not to mention that he had gone to visit him before, and Uncle Meng had not seen him drinking with everyone.
Just now, in front of a group of respectable noble elders, even though he knew that Uncle Meng was not happy with him, he still came to arrange the ceremony. This was obvious to all.
If you are still saying that he didn't give Mengshi face, it doesn't make sense. It seems to people that Mengshi was too domineering. He didn't let offenders with serious crimes just because of Qin's laws. Afterwards, he bowed to Mengshi, but he was still deceived. Targeting the connections of Mr. and Mrs. Montessori.
If this is the case, then it is not Bai Yan who is forced to do anything, but Ying Zheng.
Otherwise, who in the Qin State would dare to touch a Meng family member in the future, even if that person violated the very serious laws of Qin, this would be a very taboo thing not only for Ying Zheng, but also for the kings of other countries.
Think of this.
Bai Yan looked at Uncle Meng who had an indifferent expression and didn't look at him seriously, and he was shameless and didn't take it seriously.
Bai Yan, who came from a poor family, saw his father plowing the fields with working tools in both hands under the scorching sun very early in his life, and saw his mother sowing millet behind his father in the scorching heat.
At that time, Bai Yan knew very well that if he could exchange his face for benefits and get benefits, then he shouldn't care too much about his face.
Outside the city gate.
Bai Yan was chatting with Shen Yin, and not long after, he saw a mighty army appearing in the sky in the distance.
See this.
Bai Yan and Shen Yin stopped talking.
Not long after, with the arrival of the Qin army, Bai Yan and Uncle Meng stepped back to make way for the six-horse carriages.
Others, like Shen Yin, Yu Qi and others, all knelt down and saluted the passing carriages, not daring to look up.
After all, they are different from Bai Yan and Uncle Meng. Bai Yan and Uncle Meng both have titles and are both generals of the Qin State.
soon.
When a six-horse carriage drove to the city gate and stopped slowly, Ying Zheng's figure appeared in front of everyone.
Bai Yan was a little surprised to see Ying Zheng get off the carriage. Bai Yan had thought that Ying Zheng would not get off the carriage and would wait to go to the mansion in the city before meeting him and Uncle Meng.
"Uncle Meng, a humble minister, pays homage to the king!"
"Bai Yan, a humble minister, pays homage to the king!
"
In front of Yu Qi, Shen Yin and other people who were kneeling on the ground, Bai Yan and Uncle Meng bowed their hands to Ying Zheng in ceremony.
"No gift!"
Ying Zheng's voice sounded.
Only then did Bai Yan and Uncle Meng raise their heads.
Looking at Ying Zheng, Bai Yan saw Ying Zheng standing on the carriage, looking down at the surroundings and looking into the city with sharp eyes.
"Bai Yan!"
Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yan.
Bai Yan once again did not disappoint him.
Thinking back to the people on the list in the bamboo slips and looking at the city in front of him, Ying Zheng couldn't hide the anger in his heart.
Unexpectedly, so many people and forces wanted to assassinate him, Ying Zheng, in this city.
Before, it was he, Ying Zheng, who looked down on these people.
If it hadn't been for Bai Yan's admonishment that day and his personal request to put himself in danger, it would have been difficult to find out that so many forces were secretly plotting against Qin and plotting to assassinate him, Ying Zheng.
"Wei Chen is here!"
When Bai Yan heard Ying Zheng calling him, he quickly raised his hand to salute.
"Are there any traitors in this city who want to assassinate me?"
Ying Zheng asked softly.
When he said this, Ying Zheng did not show much anger, but the look in Ying Zheng's eyes revealed the hostility in his heart.
"Back to the king, in the past, the rebels in the city were all captured and killed. There are no more rebels. Even if there are some omissions, they don't dare to think about it anymore."
Bai Yan cupped his hands and said.
Now, looking at Ying Zheng's eyes full of anger.
Bai Yan knew that if Ying Zheng knew that Tian Sui was also involved, not to mention that Tian Feiyan's father was protecting him, even if the King of Qi was protecting him, Ying Zheng would never let Tian Sui go in the future, and he might even unify the country. , ordered to get rid of Tian Ding's family.
So let alone Tian Sui, even Tian Cong, whom he had met once in Yanmen, and Tian Ding of Qi State, who had asked him to drive him away, all owed their lives to him.
He remembered the scene when the Tian family's servant came to him, blocked his way, and threatened him to leave Qi State.
Bai Yan couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
If Tian Feiyan hadn't helped him take care of his grandmother and his family in Qi State.
He would never take the risk to save Tian Sui before, Tian Ding in disguise!
"Bai Yan, order those thieves to be brought to see me. In addition, I will entrust you with the thorough investigation. You must find out all the people involved."
Ying Zheng's words brought Bai Yan back to his senses.
Seeing Ying Zheng entrusting him with the thorough investigation, Bai Yan quickly raised his hand to bow.
"promise!"
After receiving the order, Bai Yan turned around and left after seeing that Ying Zheng had no instructions.
Historically, Bai Yan didn't know whether Ying Zheng was assassinated on his way to Handan after destroying Zhao.
But there were indeed many forces plotting to assassinate Ying Zheng in Zhongmu City.
When Ying Zheng asked him to investigate everyone, Bai Yan would naturally have no objection.
"Go and take the person from the cell to the mansion and show him to the king!"
Bai Yan ordered his cronies.
After watching his cronies turn around and leave after receiving the order, Bai Yan turned around and saw Ying Kan coming with several ministers.
"Congratulations to General Bai! General Chu Ren, who made the first contribution this time, has been promoted. I believe the king will reward General Bai!"
Ying Kan bowed his hands in front of Bai Yan as a gift. Although it was congratulations, his expression and tone made him feel a little bit strange.
Seeing this, Bai Yan didn't have any expectations for Ying Kan.
This kind of descendant of the Ying clan who was born into the Ying family is not very capable, but his character is extremely high. He has had opinions about himself before, and it is impossible to change them for a while.
But Ying Kan said, Chu Ren was promoted?
This was something Bai Yan didn't expect.
What's going on? I have clearly told Ying Zheng that Chu Ren rebelled against Qin.
Soon, Bai Yan realized that he had written to Ying Zheng and proposed to keep Zheng Tao's wife, Chu, to see if anything had slipped through the net.
Now that Ying Zheng was awarding Chu Ren a reward, Bai Yan knew that if his guess was correct, it would be because Ying Zheng wanted to use the anti-Qin forces in the world. Everyone would hate Chu Ren and get rid of the Chu family on behalf of Qin. Completely homeless.
Because Bai Yan also knew that Chu Ren rebelled against Qin, he may have been prepared beforehand. Chu Ren's descendants may have gone into hiding or even left the Qin State. Even if the Qin State went to arrest them, it would probably be too late.
But if the forces of other countries wanted to eliminate the Chu Ren family, it would be much more convenient than the Qin State, and it would also be easier for the Chu family to be completely exterminated.
Unless Chu Ren lets his people sneak back to Qin!
After thinking about this clearly.
Bai Yan came back to his senses and looked at Ying Kan in front of him.
"I've seen Master Yingkan, this time it's just a moment of good luck!"
Bai Yan raised his hands to Ying Kan and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yan saw Ying Kan suddenly laugh.
"It is indeed some good luck. Speaking of which, both of you and I should be grateful to General Chu Ren. If it were not for General Chu Ren, I am afraid that you and I would have to bear the crime of negligence during this trip."
Ying Kan said, and after finishing speaking, the conversation changed.
"However, Ying Kan is very curious as to why General Chu Ren presented the news but General Bai didn't give Ying Kan a copy. Could it be that he doesn't trust Ying Kan, or..."
Ying Kan put away his smile and looked at Bai Yan with some resentment in his eyes: "Are you worried that Ying Kan will take away General Bai's credit?"
At the beginning in Yewang City.
Ying Kan didn't react yet. It wasn't until the waiter beside him said it that Ying Kan suddenly remembered why Bai Yan didn't give a share to him after receiving the news.
Looking back, he was a guard but knew nothing about it. He was like a joke in the eyes of others.
Ying Kan felt angry in his heart. If Bai Yan had given him a list, he would have acted like a fool, knowing nothing, and become a laughing stock.
Ying Kan became angrier as he thought about it, but looking at the young Bai Yan in front of him, he was helpless.
With Ying Zheng's favor, the Bai family's connections, and his title of general, Ying Kan did not dare to do anything to Bai Yan even though he was a member of the Ying family.
"Master Yingkan misunderstood. Bai Yan had not confirmed the news before, so he didn't dare to stir up trouble, so he went to disturb you."
Bai Yan cupped his hands and explained, then saluted Ying Kan.
In one sentence, all the accusations that Ying Kan had prepared along the way were choked in his throat.
Looking at Bai Yan, Ying Kan's face was ashen, his breathing was rapid and unsteady, and his heart was anxious and angry, but he couldn't say a word to refute.
And next to Bai Yan.
Yanmao and Gui all looked at Ying Kan with sneers, remembering how sarcastic Ying Kan was when they were in Luoyang City.
At this moment, Yanmao and Gui felt extremely happy.
"Hmph, okay! General Bai, please leave first if you win!"
Ying Kan looked at Bai Yan, and then at the cavalry generals behind Bai Yan. In anger, Ying Kan didn't want to use his words anymore, so he took the people away directly.
In Ying Kan's mind, Bai Yan was just a moment of good luck. If Chu Ren hadn't sent the letter, Bai Yan wouldn't have made any achievements.
He had inquired and sent people to find out that Bai Yan had not been to Handan, so he had already sent people to Zhujiaxiang in Handan City to capture the people who had insulted the king. Then he would see how Bai Yan would compete with him.
