Xia Wuji followed his servants to the main hall. When he saw Bai Yan waking up, he was also surprised. When he was preparing the ceremony, he looked around calmly, but he didn't seem to see anything, and he looked a little disappointed.
Under Bai Yu's eyes, Xia Wuqi checked Bai Yan's pulse and made a diagnosis. After a few breaths, he took back his hand.
"Ms. Xu's medical skills are indeed superb. Now the poison in General Bai Yan's body is no longer serious. He is only weak and needs to be recuperated for more than a month!"
Xia Wuji said to Bai Yan with his hands raised, his words showing his admiration for Master Xu.
"There's Dr. Raucha!"
Bai Yan returned the gift with his hands in hand.
In the main hall, Xia Wuji saw Bai Yan wake up and learned that Master Xu had gone to rest. He stood up and said goodbye to Bai Yan and Bai Yu, saying that he was rushing back to the palace to report to the king.
When Bai Yan and Bai Yu saw this, they didn't hold back too much.
After morning.
Bai Yan and Bai Yu were holding breakfast, and a man came to the door. Bai Yan was a little surprised.
Afterwards, under Bai Yu's introduction, Bai Yan looked at the man who came to visit, and then realized that the man in front of him turned out to be Mr. Hu's second son Hu Mujing and the brother of General Hu Jin.
"Bai Yan, meet Mr. Hu!"
Bai Yan looked at the bearded man in front of him who looked like a Confucian scholar, and slowly bowed.
"No wonder my brother often praises him in letters! When I first met General Bai Yan, he was really different from ordinary people!"
Hu Mujing looked at the young man she met for the first time, smiled and raised her hand in return.
Although the young man was frail, he was respectful and courteous in his speech and behavior. This made it difficult for Hu Mujing not to have a good impression of this young man whom he met for the first time.
What's more, my brother often praises the young man in front of him in his letters.
"You don't have to be polite to this kid, sit down!"
After Bai Yu introduced Bai Yan and watched the ceremony being completed, he said to Hu Mujing and asked Hu Mujing to come over and sit down.
At this time, Hu Mujing also handed the herbal bag in his hand to the maid on the side.
When Bai Yan saw this, he naturally understood why. He raised his hand and slowly saluted Hu's mother again.
After Mrs. Hu returned the salute, she followed Bai Yu to a wooden table and sat down.
The ensuing conversation didn't talk about any major issues, it was just speculation about whether Mengshi would be implicated. After all, Mengjia almost helped Yan to successfully assassinate Jing Ke, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
When the assassination of Ying Zheng was mentioned, Hu Mujing couldn't help but look at Bai Yan. Although he was not in the Xianyang court that day, he knew the danger of that day from Bai Yu and the words spread outside.
Afterwards, Bai Yan almost lost his life due to the assassination.
"Sir, Mr. Lu Sheng, the Lu family, is outside the residence and wants to see you!"
Half an hour later, a servant walked in and reported to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu heard this and nodded to the servant.
"When did you become so close to Lu Sheng of the Lu family? Ever since you fell into coma, Lu Sheng would come to visit your house every day, and the expensive herbs he sent would fill the whole room!"
Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan and told him what happened in the past few days. After all, he knew that Bai Yan, the boy, had been lying in bed in a coma these past few days and didn't know anything.
Bai Yu was also very curious as he spoke. He didn't expect Bai Yan to have such a good relationship with Lu Sheng, the eldest son of the Lu family. The herbs Lu Sheng sent were all valuable. In addition to the great tonics, many of the herbs were Money is hard to find.
】
"Lu Sheng!"
Bai Yan was very surprised when he heard what his uncle Bai Yu said. He didn't expect that Lu Sheng came to visit him in Bai Yu's mansion when he was in coma.
In other words, Lu Sheng already knew that he was Bai Yan.
"Uncle, Lu Sheng is my good friend, so I will go out with my servant."
Bai Yan thought for a while and said to Bai Yu Jili.
Then he turned sideways and looked at Hu Mujing behind the wooden table opposite, and slowly bowed to express his apologies.
Hu Mujing and Bai Yu both nodded.
Since Bai Yan is said to be a good friend, just because Lu Sheng sent so many expensive things to Bai Yan when he was unconscious, this friendship is indeed enough for Bai Yan to greet him in person.
"Go!"
Bai Yu said to Bai Yan.
Just go to the gate of the mansion. Both Miss Xu and Xia Wuji have confirmed that the poison in Bai Yan's body has been removed. He should be fine now. He has slept for three days and can move around.
Under the gazes of Bai Yu and Hu Mujing, Bai Yan nodded, then slowly stood up and followed the servant towards the outside of the main hall.
Outside Bai Yu's mansion.
Lu Sheng was holding bags of herbs in his hands, and his full hands were particularly eye-catching.
At this moment, Lu Sheng watched Lu's carriage slowly stop not far away, and turned to look at the mansion in front of him, full of anxiety.
Looking back on that day, Lu Sheng was shocked when he learned in the palace that the envoy of the State of Yan was actually an assassin. He never expected that the State of Yan would dare to assassinate the King of Qin Ying Zheng in the name of presenting a map. Later, he heard that the assassination failed. , Lu Sheng's first reaction was that after this incident, if the Yan State did not have reinforcements from other countries, it would be in danger of subjugation.
Later, when Lu Sheng learned about the reasons for the failed assassination of Ambassador Yan and the fact that Bai Yan was poisoned and fell into coma, Lu Sheng immediately took a car to visit General Bai Yu's residence.
Also in this mansion, among the many people that day, Lu Sheng stood in the room and saw the famous Qin general Bai Yan with his own eyes, and saw a very familiar but "strange" young man sleeping on a wooden bed. .
Yan, it’s really Bai Yan.
When he saw it with his own eyes, Lu Sheng stood in the room in a daze, with a confused look on his face.
"I don't know if Yan has woken up yet!"
Lu Sheng looked at the gate of the mansion and thought to himself.
At this time, Lu Sheng saw a figure appearing inside the gate, and Lu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward. Just as Lu Sheng was about to ask, he suddenly saw a maid supporting a young man appear in front of him.
In an instant, when he saw the young man with his own eyes again, Lu Sheng couldn't help but lose consciousness for a moment. After regaining consciousness, he quickly stepped forward excitedly.
"Bai Yan, I have met Mr. Lu!"
When Bai Yan saw Lu Sheng, he didn't let the maid support him anymore, and slowly bowed to Lu Sheng.
"Lu Sheng, I have met General Bai!"
Lu Sheng saw Bai Yan's salute and quickly returned the salute. However, the herbs in his hands made Lu Sheng unable to salute, so he had to put it on the ground first and return the salute to Bai Yan again.
"please!"
Bai Yan looked at the bags of herbs, and looked at Lu Sheng dumbfounded. The beards of some ginseng sprouted, and he knew at a glance that they must be of high age.
Thinking of Bai Yu's words, Bai Yan did not refuse when he saw these herbs, but made a gesture of invitation to Lu Sheng.
"Thank you! Please!"
Lu Sheng looked happy when he saw Bai Yan's appearance.
Lu Sheng, who had been in business under the guidance of his father since childhood and had contact with many people, could not tell that Bai Yan did not blame him for what happened in the restaurant that day, at least he did not blame him.
Seeing Bai Yan's weak appearance in front of him but still coming to the gate to greet him, Lu Sheng was filled with emotion. The worries in the past disappeared and were replaced by indescribable joy.
It is said that the kindness of the poor does not go into the heart, but the random actions of the rich can make people burst into tears of gratitude. This sentence is not true at all.
Normally, if Bai Yan's identity was not known to Lu Sheng, let alone Bai Yan learning about Lu Sheng's visit and coming to the gate to greet him, it is estimated that even if Bai Yan helped Lu Sheng with some small things, he would be taken as a matter of course and would not be ignored. Lu Sheng took it to heart.
But now, as Lu Sheng knows about Yan in the past, it is Qin General Bai Yan, Zuo Geng of Qin State, and Lieutenant of Yanmen County.
Seeing that Bai Yan was now weak, but still came to the gate of the mansion to greet him, Lu Sheng was moved beyond measure. The urge to dig out his heart and lungs for Bai Yan occupied Lu Sheng's heart.
"Thank you!"
Lu Sheng, who was full of joy when he saw the servant in the mansion picking up the herbs, even bowed to the servant. Then he saw the servant bowing down and nodding humbly. Then he turned around and followed Bai Yan, who was supported by the maid, towards the interior of the mansion. Go.
Inside the mansion.
In the corridor, looking at the flowers, grass and trees in the yard next to it.
"Is Lu Qi in Xianyang?"
Bai Yan was supported by the maid and chatted with Lu Sheng.
He said he was asking if he was in Xianyang, but in fact Bai Yan knew that if Lu Qi was really in Xianyang, then Lu Sheng would not be the only one visiting the mansion.
But by asking this, I also wanted Lu Sheng not to be so nervous.
"My brother heard that he went to Qi State some time ago!"
Lu Sheng walked slowly with Bai Yan and said softly.
"Now the family's business involving Yingchuan and Qi is all handled by Lu Qi!"
Lu Sheng explained.
"Qi Guo!"
Bai Yan nodded when he heard Lu Sheng's words.
When Master Xu saw Bai Yan wake up just now, he didn't tell Bai Yan specifically about Lu Sheng. Bai Yan knew clearly that Lu Sheng was obviously not aware of the identity of Bian Que's disciple of Master Xu.
Thinking about it, not to mention that there were many people visiting that day and that Lu Sheng arrived at the mansion very late after learning the news. Uncle Bai Yu and aunt Lu both said bluntly that it would be best for Master Xu to be a disciple of Bian Que. His identity is not known to outsiders, so as to nip problems in the bud.
For these reasons, it is not surprising that Lu Sheng still does not know the identity of Master Xu.
But speaking of it.
Bai Yan was able to meet Master Xu thanks to Lu Sheng.
"Is Mr. Lu interested in going to Yanmen to do business?"
As Bai Yan walked, he turned his head and looked at Lu Sheng and asked.
Regarding what happened at the restaurant that day, Bai Yan knew that it was human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Without knowing each other, Lu Sheng's choice was understandable.
It may be difficult for Lu Sheng to achieve great things, but fortunately, Lu Sheng is acceptable as a person.
Coupled with Master Xu's reasons and the fact that Yanmen also needed to cultivate gentry power, Bai Yan took the opportunity to ask Lu Sheng if he had ever thought about going to Yanmen.
Now that many noble clans in Yanmen have been emptied, not only the people need merchants, but the entire Yanmen also needs many merchants. If Lu Sheng goes, it will be good for the people, Yanmen, and even him and Lu Sheng.
"Yes, yes!
"
When Lu Sheng heard Bai Yan's words, he stepped forward excitedly and saluted Bai Yan.
Hearing Bai Yan's words at this moment, Lu Sheng felt like he was about to cry. Seeing that Bai Yan didn't care about what happened in the restaurant at all, Lu Sheng was completely convinced.
Soon, the two came to the pavilion.
While watching the maid pouring tea, Bai Yan talked to Lu Sheng about Gan Si and asked Lu Sheng if he learned from Gan Si that he was Bai Yan.
Lu Sheng didn't hide anything, he told everything.
At the end of his speech, Lu Sheng bowed to Bai Yan with shame.
"It is said that Lu Sheng was ashamed. He was previously worried that Zuo Geng would blame Lu Sheng for talking nonsense after drinking, so he wrote to Qi State to ask Feiyan to speak kindly to Lu Sheng."
When Lu Sheng said this, his face turned a little red due to shame, and he looked at Bai Yan full of self-blame.
Regarding what happened at the restaurant, Lu Sheng has been reflecting on it, regretting it, and blaming himself.
"Not smoking?"
Bai Yan was sitting on his knees at the wooden table in the pavilion. When he heard Lu Sheng's words, he looked surprised, then smiled and shook his head.
"What's wrong with Mr. Lu? In the past, it was Bai Yan who concealed his identity. Speaking of which, this incident happened because of Bai Yan!"
Bai Yan said politely to Lu Sheng, looking at the ashamed Lu Sheng, he said bluntly that if there was any fault in that matter, it was Bai Yan who concealed his identity first, which led to what happened next.
While talking.
Bai Yan picked up the wooden cup that had just been filled with tea leaves on the wooden table, raised his hands, and gestured to Lu Sheng to replace the wine with tea.
When Lu Sheng saw this, he quickly picked up the wooden cup and saluted Bai Yan.
After a cup of tea, although Lu Sheng was young, he could feel that Bai Yan was trying to comfort him not to worry about the incident in the restaurant.
However, Lu Sheng always had a question in his mind.
"Lu Sheng has another question. What is the relationship between Zuo Geng and his cousin Tian Feiyan?"
Lu Sheng thought for a while, looked at Bai Yan, and finally raised his hand and asked.
This question has also been a doubt in Lu Sheng's mind during this period. Bai Yan is obviously a descendant of the Bai family, why does he have his cousin's jade pendant, and he also pretended to be from Qi State because of explaining the jade pendant.
Bai Yan of Qin State's Bai family and Tian Feiyan of Qi State's Tianfu, these two people couldn't get along with each other, why did they meet.
"This matter is a long story, but Bai Yan also hopes that Mr. Lu can keep this matter secret. After all, Bai Yan is a general of Qin, not Yansheng's father, but a minister of Qi!"
Bai Yan heard Lu Sheng's inquiry and did not explain. He just hoped that Lu Sheng could keep the matter a secret.
But just as Bai Yan finished speaking, he saw Lu Sheng's face looked panicked and his eyes full of regret.
"Junzi Lu..."
Bai Yan looked at Lu Sheng with confusion, not understanding why Lu Sheng had such an expression.
"Before Lu Sheng sent someone to deliver the letter, he ordered someone to deliver it to his uncle Tian Ding, and Tian Ding sent it to Feiyan!"
Lu Sheng listened to Bai Yan's words just now and revealed that he hoped that not even Tian Ding would be informed about the jade pendant.
At this moment, Lu Sheng's heart was filled with regret.
Previously, he was too panicked and feared that he would lose his only chance to make good friends with Bai Yan, so he was very worried that his cousin Tian Feiyan would not want to help him. After all, he was not familiar with Tian Feiyan and he had not come to visit in person.
So I wrote a letter to my uncle Tian Ding asking for help.
Because of this, uncle Tian Ding will definitely know about the jade pendant in a short time!
!
"Already wrote a letter."
Bai Yan frowned slightly when he heard Lu Sheng's words.
The jade pendant in his hand now is the jade pendant given to his daughter Tian Feiyan by Tian Ding's late wife, Lu Shi. If Tian Ding knew that the jade pendant was in the hands of Bai Yan, the Bai family of Qin State, as long as Lu Sheng did not tell the time, Tian Ding's first reaction would be to think of it. Come, that time when Tian Cong took Tian Feiyan to Yanmen Shanwu City.
"The jade pendant is the relic of Tian Ding's deceased wife, Lu. It concerns Feiyan. Can Mr. Lu inform Bai Yan of the content of the letter."
Bai Yan didn't show any signs of panic. He looked up at Lu Sheng and asked softly about the content of the letter.
Lu Sheng, with a look of regret on his face, knelt down behind the wooden table. Hearing Bai Yan's words, he nodded immediately and without hiding anything from Bai Yan, he directly stated the contents of the letter word for word.
At this moment, in Lu Sheng's heart, if he had known that Bai Yan didn't care about what happened at the restaurant, he would not have ordered people to send letters all the way to Qi Guotian Mansion no matter what he said.
Lu Sheng felt like crying at this moment. By some coincidence, he did something that would upset Bai Yan.
Inside the pavilion.
Bai Yan was quietly relieved after hearing the contents of Lu Sheng's letter.
As long as Tian Ding did not mention the specific time, he would not think that Bai Yan was the person who was driven out of Qi State by Tian Ding, the son of the couple living in the water village.
........
At noon.
"It won't take long for the king's assassination to spread throughout the world. The king is so angry that he already wants to destroy Yan. Chu may not be worried, but Wei and Qi will definitely be terrified. After all, Qi is close to Yan, and Qin’s army will pass through the north of Wei.”
Bai Yu and Hu Mujing talked while drinking.
Although he no longer leads troops, Bai Yu naturally has to be aware of the situation in the world.
Hu Mujing was not good at leading troops, so Bai Yu would not talk to Hu Mujing about the upcoming war between Qin and Yan.
"Wei and Qi will definitely send their important ministers here!"
After hearing Bai Yu's analysis, Hu Mujing nodded. She didn't know much about Wei State, but she still knew Qi State very well.
After all, when she was young, at Jixia Academy, Hu's mother had a wide network of connections, and she naturally knew the officials of Qi State. Her understanding of Qi State's court was, without exaggeration, even as good as that of Qin State.
"The envoy from Qi this time is likely to be a relative of the King of Qi. Since he is in a high and powerful position, Tian Ding should not come. However, I heard that Tian Ding's eldest son, Tian Cong, has been promoted to Qi doctor in the past two years."
Hu Mujing put her hands in front of her, knelt down and sat behind the wooden table, and analyzed with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Tian Cong, should be one of them!"
Hu Mujing knew clearly that Tian Ding's status in Qi State was extraordinary. With his qualifications, status, and bloodline from the Qi royal family, he would never leave Qi State rashly if there was no important matter.
Therefore, the envoy from Qi State must not be Tian Ding.
However, Tian Ding and Qi Xiang Hou Sheng have never dealt with each other, and they will definitely not let the Qi envoys come to Qin State. They are all Qi Xiang Hou Sheng's people. In addition, the assassination of King Qin is not a small matter.
Then the result of the calculation is that his eldest son Tian Cong.
In the main hall.
Bai Yu nodded slowly when he heard Hu Mujing's words.
But before Bai Yu could say anything, a servant ran into the lobby in panic. His panicked look suggested that something was urgent.
And in the eyes of Bai Yu and Hu Mujing.
The servant came to the lobby and saluted Bai Yu.
“My lord, the king has arrived at the mansion!
"
The servant reported breathlessly, his eyes full of shock. He had followed Bai Yu for more than ten years and came to this mansion for nearly ten years. This was the first time he saw Qin King Ying Zheng come to this mansion.
That is the only king of Qin!
"Go down and order people to prepare to welcome the king immediately!"
Bai Yu heard the servant's words and quickly ordered.
"promise!"
When the servant heard this, he quickly accepted the order, turned around and left in a hurry.
Hu Mujing looked away from the servant at this time.
"The king is indeed here!"
Hu Mujing said with emotion that just now he and Bai Yu had guessed that the king would definitely come after Xia Wuji returned to the palace to report.
but......
"yes!"
Bai Yu looked at Hu Mujing and gave a wry smile. His face was as full of emotion as Hu Mujing's. He nodded slowly and turned to look outside the lobby.
It has not been long since the time when all the palace officials went to court!
Obviously, the king did not even deal with important matters after going to court.
