He told the Bao family to take good care of themselves here in Shanwu City. After bidding farewell to the Bao family, Bai Yan took Master Xu and got into the carriage.
Although he was not sure what he would face during this trip to Xianyang, one thing Bai Yan knew very well was that Mrs. Xu had been invited by Yan Dan to go to Yan State a long time ago.
Therefore, Master Xu will definitely take him with him.
In addition, Master Xu has specialized in studying various poisons since he was a child. Having Master Xu by his side during this trip is also a precaution.
After a while.
Bai Yan was escorted by dozens of cavalry officers. When he arrived at the city gate, Yan's envoy Jing Ke and his party had already been waiting outside the city for a long time.
"Thank you for your long wait, sir!"
After Bai Yan got off the carriage, he saluted Jing Ke.
"It doesn't matter! General Bai is a county guard and has a busy schedule. He can put aside important matters and escort Jing Ke on this trip. Jing Ke is already grateful. Why did he wait so long?"
When Jing Ke heard Bai Yan's words, he also smiled and explained.
Qin Wuyang on the side looked at Bai Yan who was preparing a ceremony with Jing Ke, his eyes were a little impatient, but he didn't say anything. However, Qin Wuyang suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that in the carriage Bai Yan was riding, a young woman was secretly watching from behind the curtain. Outside the carriage.
See this.
Qin Wuyang cursed Bai Yan angrily in his heart, which was full of taste.
In Qin Wuyang's eyes, Bai Yan was just a jerk and looked down on him and Jing Ke.
Bai Yan took his beautiful concubine with him, and enjoyed the good life, but he and Jing Ke were not given one.
While thinking.
Qin Wuyang also suddenly missed his hometown Jicheng. If he was at home like this, he would be so tired, sitting in a carriage all day long, without even a beauty beside him.
Thinking back to the good wine and meat at home in Jicheng, thinking back to the way those friends who grew up together in Jicheng used to praise themselves, and thinking back to riding horses to hunt when they were bored.
Qin Wuyang suddenly regretted it.
I regret that I agreed to Yan Dan after my grandfather’s persuasion.
At that time, my grandfather talked about how his name would be spread all over the world, and everyone would know it, and his name would even be remembered through the ages. He recalled the pleading attitude of the young master Yan Dan, and the admiring eyes and eyes of his friends next to him. .
At that time, he felt that his blood was boiling, and he wanted to kill Ying Zheng with a sword immediately to show everyone, so he agreed without hesitation.
at the moment.
Thinking of the journey along the way, the fatigue along the way, and then looking at this guy Bai Yan enjoying himself so much.
homesick!
"What's wrong?"
When Qin Wuyang was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Jing Ke's voice. Qin Wuyang quickly came back to his senses. Only then did he realize that at some point, Bai Yan had turned back to the carriage and was about to set off.
Looking at Jing Ke, who was in his thirties, Qin Wuyang tried his best to smile and quickly shook his head.
"nothing!"
Qin Wuyang said.
Although he misses home very much, Qin Wuyang also knows that it is too late to say anything now. He has already agreed and is here.
The worst case scenario is to kill Ying Zheng, and then coerce the Qin ministers in exchange for a way out.
Think of this.
Qin Wuyang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"As long as nothing happens, we're ready to set off!"
Jing Ke looked at Qin Wuyang's appearance. Although he was a little confused, he didn't think much about it, and then led Qin Wuyang towards the Yan Kingdom's carriage.
Under the watchful eyes of all the Qin officials at Shanwu City Gate.
A group of several carriages, escorted by mighty iron cavalry and dozens of Yan soldiers, set off towards the west.
Along the way.
Since it set off from Yanmen in the north, and in order to arrive as early as possible, it was naturally impossible to go south. The convoy finally headed to Shangjun along the north of Taihang Mountain and south of Yunzhong Mountain.
If you look at this road from a map, it looks like a corridor separated by two huge mountains, leading directly to Shangjun.
Although the road is remote and not as good as the Central Plains, it is a real strategic location.
Because right in the Yunzhong Mountains, there is a road that passes through the mountains and leads directly to the northern grasslands. No matter whether the Xiongnu goes south or the people from the Central Plains want to go north, if you take this road in Yunzhong, you must go through that road. Walk through the Yunzhong Mountains.
As for an ambush and the like, it's simply impossible.
Qin troops were stationed at all the passes in the Yunzhong Mountains, and within Yanmen territory, all the Yanmen noble forces had already been wiped out by Bai Yan.
After the Yanmen territory, it is the border area of Taiyuan County, and then it enters Shang County.
Bai Yan is familiar with the lieutenant in Shangjun, General Hu Jin!
Don't underestimate the word "Jun Wei".
In the official title system of the Qin State, the commander-in-chief was in charge of the garrison of the county. He was directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and had the same courtesy as the commander-in-chief. In the border counties, there was one commander-in-chief every hundred miles, and the commander-in-chief was in charge of the history of the officials and the history of the officials. 2. The Guandu Lieutenant is in charge of the border fortress garrison and the handling of the passes, all of which are subordinate to the Lieutenant of the county.
The sentence "all belong to the county and county commanders" is enough to shock people.
Behind this sentence, there is an entire county. All the garrison troops in one territory, the pass captain, and all the direct subordinate generals under his command are all under the command of the county captain.
It can be said that whether it is Bai Yan or Hu Jin, they can mobilize all the soldiers and horses of the two counties in an instant.
"General, the Yan envoy named Jing Ke just now seems... Master Xu met him when he was a child."
While on the way, Master Xu, who was riding in the carriage, hesitated for a long time and finally said to Bai Yan.
Just now in the carriage, Master Xu secretly looked out the window behind the curtain. At first he looked at the Yan envoy, and Master Xu didn't think anything of it, but it wasn't until he heard his name was Jing Ke.
Xu Shicai felt something was wrong. In his memory, she seemed to have seen her in the Xu Mansion when she was very young.
"have you seen?"
Bai Yan looked at Master Xu, very surprised.
Bai Yan didn't expect this. After all, he didn't expect Master Xu to actually meet Jing Ke.
"I seem to have seen it when I was very young, but Master Xu doesn't remember if it was him. It's been too long. When he was a child, Master Xu remembered that three young men came to the Xu family to ask for a sword. One was named... ..It seems to be Han Chenyan, the other one is named Gao Jianli, and the third one seems to be named Jing Ke."
Master Xu lowered his head and thought softly.
It had been so long that she couldn't remember whether he was called Jing Ke.
Under Bai Yan's gaze, Master Xu told Bai Yan that when she was a child, she was still in the Xu family. At that time, she vaguely remembered that someone came to the Xu family to ask for a sword, and one of them was named Jing Ke.
The reason why she had an impression was that at that time, she still vaguely remembered that among the three people, only two of them asked for a sword. The one who didn't asked for a sword was gentle, good at building, and he was also very nice. She remembered it deeply.
And that was the first time she saw three men seeking swords. On the night when Xu stayed over, after drinking with her father, the three of them started crying because one of them was about to return to Chu.
"Han Chenyan? From Chu?"
Bai Yan frowned slightly after listening to Master Xu's words.
He turned his head and looked to the side, feeling the carriage bumping and shaking slightly on the road.
Could it be that this Han Chenyan is the person Jing Ke is waiting for?
In his memory, as well as the previous investigation he sent to Yan State, it was proved that before leaving, in addition to enjoying the fame, wealth, status and beauty given by Yan Dan, Jing Ke seemed to have been waiting for a good friend.
Could it be this Han Chenyan?
"Then do you think Jing Ke will recognize you?"
Bai Yan looked at Master Xu. Han Chenyan could send someone to investigate in the future, but the most important thing right now was.
Can Jing Ke recognize Master Xu in front of him?
Once recognized, it may be possible and some trouble may arise.
"General, don't worry. If he is really the Jing Ke that Master Xu has seen before, he wouldn't be able to recognize him now. Master Xu was young at that time. Besides, Master Xu has been taught since he was a child that learning about poison should never be made public!"
Master Xu shook his head at Bai Yan to reassure Bai Yan.
She only vaguely remembered Jing Ke when she heard the word Jing Ke just now. Otherwise, looking at Jing Ke's appearance, she wouldn't even remember Jing Ke.
Therefore, let alone Jing Ke, he could still see her.
"good!"
Bai Yan felt relieved after hearing Master Xu's words.
As long as Jing Ke didn't know that Master Xu was good and evil, there would be no problem. Looking at Master Xu, Bai Yan was thinking about whether he should let Master Xu go to Xianyang in advance.
