"Bai Yan was transferred back to Yanmen? Isn't that just empty talk?"
"Keep your voice down!"
"Hahaha, what are you afraid of? If Bai Yan is Zhongchang Shiwu, I might still be afraid, but now I have decided to leave Xianyang, what should I be afraid of!"
Outside the Xianyang Palace, officials wearing Qin official uniforms were accompanying each other. Many people started talking. The reason was simply that Bai Yan was going to be transferred back to Yanmen.
Almost without exception, those who can serve as officials in the Qin State are from the noble family. Therefore, although they are jealous of the Bai family, they are not afraid of it. Naturally, when they talk about it now, they are a little unscrupulous, as if they are mocking Bai Yan.
Everyone has this habit, and these Qin officials are no exception. When they first learned that Bai Yan was about to serve as a regular servant, when they saw Bai Yan, they either greeted him with a smile or flattered him. Now that he saw that Bai Yan was going to be transferred away from Xianyang, His expression immediately changed, but he didn't think about it. Even if Bai Yan was not in Xianyang, he was still a general, a lieutenant of Yanmen County, and was in charge of the Qin army.
Outside the palace gate.
"When it comes to xinxing, you should really learn from Bai Yan!"
Beside the carriage, Mr. Hu couldn't help but smile when he saw Bai Yu looking indignant and wanting to beat someone after hearing the gossip from other officials.
"What Mr. Hu said is inappropriate, imitating that kid? If I imitated that kid, my father and brother would have been pissed to death long ago!
"
When Bai Yu heard what Mr. Hu said, he said with a look of dissatisfaction.
In Bai Yu's eyes, if Bai Yu was really like Bai Yan, the first person to be angry to death would be his old father in Pingyang. The old father would be so angry that he would have to walk all night to Xianyang and chase him with thorns. He was beaten and even said to be other brothers.
Still imitating that boy!
!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
When Mr. Hu heard Bai Yu's words, he couldn't help laughing when he thought of that scene, but then the smile slowly disappeared on the old man's face and he shook his head slightly.
"There are many snobbish people in the world. Who can guarantee that they will stay in high positions for a lifetime? It is indeed very powerful to be able to reach some positions, but what is even more admirable is that after going up, you can still calmly step down. Then That’s the most rare thing!”
Mr. Hu said softly, and when he said the last sentence, he looked at Bai Yu.
There are so many rare talents in the world who were eventually shattered into pieces because of the last sentence. Not to mention the Bai Yu in front of him couldn't do it, even the many ministers who have left their names throughout the ages couldn't do it.
The young man had visited Hu Mansion yesterday to explain the reasons. Mr. Hu could feel that the young man's eyes were not focused on the immediate benefits, but on things further away.
The young man didn't tell Bai Yu these things, and now Mr. Hu naturally doesn't know either.
Perhaps looking at Bai Yu who had everything written on his face, Mr. Hu finally realized why he couldn't tell Bai Yu directly about many things.
"Calculate the time, Bai Yan should also pack up and bow, I will also go and see Bai Yan off!"
Mr. Hu said to Bai Yu.
Seeing this, Bai Yu nodded quickly.
But just as the two were about to leave, looking at Mao Jiao with a confused look on his face, they couldn't help but become curious as to why Mao Jiao had been absent-minded these past few days, often in a trance, and his eyes sometimes hesitated and sometimes felt guilty.
Just like now, Mao Jiao didn't hear the conversation between the two of them. He lowered his head slightly, and the expression on his old face was full of struggle.
Bai Yu and Mr. Hu looked at each other, full of confusion.
.........
Inside Bai Yu's mansion.
As the servants and maids moved the necessary items to the carriage outside the mansion, a dozen cavalry soldiers wearing Qin armor in the courtyard were all laughing and chatting with each other.
If I had heard that Bai Yan was going to serve as a regular servant, who would be most saddened? It would not necessarily be the noble clan forces that had offended Bai Yan in the past, but these iron cavalry soldiers.
No matter what they had experienced in the past, without exception, they followed Bai Yan to the battlefield and experienced life-long battles. For them, Bai Yan was already the general they followed throughout their lives.
Being Zhong Chang Shi also means that Bai Yan will stay in Xianyang in the future and will no longer lead them.
For almost every cavalry soldier, this will create a deep sense of loss in the heart. Along with it, there will also be confusion about the future, and the usual mentality of going to the battlefield to defeat the enemy will be shaken. , after all, even they don't know who they Bai's Iron Cavalry will follow in the future, and who can be like Bai Yan, who has the courage to lead them to defeat any enemy army, and treats them extremely well.
Now, knowing that Bai Yan did not serve as the regular attendant, every soldier showed a happy smile on his face.
Although their thoughts were somewhat selfish, they all originated from Bai Yan.
For them, as long as the general is there, they dare to face any enemy. Even if the enemy's number is twice as many as theirs, or even ten times as many as theirs, just like Gao Nu fighting, they still have no fear.
In this world, they only have one general!
One person is enough!
"General!"
"General!
"
As they saw Bai Yu, Hu Lao, and Mao Jiao approaching, most of the soldiers were not familiar with Hu Lao and Mao Jiao, but they were naturally aware of Bai Yu, so they all gathered in greetings.
"Um!"
Bai Yu nodded to the soldiers, and then led Mr. Hu and Mr. Mao towards the study.
"Is he the former general of our cavalry?"
Gu was already wearing Qin armor and Qin sword. He looked at Bai Yu's leaving figure and asked Gui beside him in a low voice.
Gui nodded when he heard what he said. He looked at the tall and strong man next to him, and felt a little scared in his heart. Although he looked honest and honest, he had the fierceness of being a butcher for many years. Once he showed his expression, he was serious. The look in his eyes was enough to be intimidating. During this period of competition in the camp, even other burly generals never wanted to fight again after the competition.
ruthless!
This is everyone's impression of Zhang. Among all the people, Zhang is the only one who dislikes the light weight of Qin Jian, and the person who uses a blunt weapon. If he whips it with a blunt weapon, he will probably vomit blood and die.
Gui was very curious. If he went to the battlefield in the future, he didn't know how many enemy soldiers would die in his hands.
"Hey, it's better for us general!"
Mang laughed, a smile appearing on his burly face. The traces of being caught and whipped could still be seen on his rough cheeks.
Looking at the other cavalry soldiers around him, although he didn't have any great wisdom, he felt the huge difference between the soldiers talking about his benefactor and the former General Bai Yu.
Although no one compared it, Zhang could clearly feel that compared to General Bai Yu, when the soldiers mentioned their benefactor, their eyes became hot. The love shown unintentionally in their eyes was far from being used. Words can describe.
"That's natural!"
After hearing what Gui said, he glanced around and whispered in agreement.
After a while.
Seeing Bai Yan in black clothes appearing in front of everyone, all the soldiers in the yard stopped talking and looked at Bai Yan.
"General!"
"General!"
They were uniformly dressed as generals, but there were only a dozen or so people, but the voice resounded throughout the entire mansion. Even the servants and maids who were busy not far away were startled and frightened by the momentum.
All the soldiers looked at Bai Yan with enthusiasm.
Bai Yan looked at these soldiers dumbfounded, scanned their faces one by one, and nodded lightly.
Bai Yan didn't know if these soldiers did it on purpose. Bai Yu was already very fond of it. Now he was still making this noise in Bai Yu's yard. Is he afraid that his uncle Bai Yu wouldn't hear it?
"Mr. Mao, please!"
Bai Yan turned around and made an invitation gesture to Mao Jiao. Just now in the study, Mao Jiao suddenly wanted to talk to him privately, so he told Uncle Bai, Bai Yu, Mr. Hu and others Finally, he walked out with Mao Jiao.
at the moment.
Bai Yan led the way and took Mao Jiao to the pavilion in Bai Yu's mansion.
The servants and maids in the mansion have all gone to work, and everyone else is not in the pavilion. If you have anything to say, you can feel free to say it now.
Under the pavilion.
Mao Jiao looked at Bai Yan with a complex expression, then turned to look not far away.
"When Tian Ding left, I didn't go to see him off!"
Mao Jiao said softly.
Bai Yan heard Mao Jiao's words and looked at Mao Jiao's face, knowing why Mao Jiao didn't go.
Thinking of Tian Feiyan, before Tian Ding left, Bai Yan had already sent a letter to the ambassador's residence and handed it over to Tian Feiyan.
"Tian Ding came to visit me before..."
Mao Jiao slowly told Bai Yan what happened that day.
Bai Yan was not surprised when he heard what Mao Jiao said. Very early on, Bai Yan knew that the reason why Tian Ding was looking for someone in Xianyang City must be because of what Mao Jiao and Tian Ding had said.
Not only Bai Yan knew it, but Ying Zheng also knew it.
After a long time, following Mao Jiao's story, Bai Yan finally knew the details of Tian Ding's visit to Mao Jiao that day.
"You and I both know that once Chu is destroyed in the future, Qi will definitely not be able to survive!"
Mao Jiao sighed with emotion, and then looked at Bai Yan.
"You and I are both from the same family. I want to ask you something. If there was no personal grudge between Tian Ding and you..."
When Mao Jiao said this, he paused, but still hesitated for a few breaths before continuing to speak the rest of the words.
"You would rather be in Qi State and be granted the title of minister and general!"
Mao Jiao looked at Bai Yan.
In Mao Jiao's eyes, he always had reasons to comfort himself about Bai Yan's matter and his mother country Qi. This was also the reason why Mao Jiao felt at ease when Tian Ding visited him last time.
However, the news came that the King of Chu died of illness. Mao Jiao, who was worshiped as a minister by Ying Zheng, was not clear about this change in the Chu State. At this time, the King of Chu died of illness. I am afraid that within three to five years, the Chu State will fall into turmoil. , and after three or five years, I am afraid that Qin will have troops approaching the city.
Once Chu dies! At that time, the country of Qi was probably the only one left in the world!
So when he learned that Tian Ding had left and Bai Yan was about to return to Yanmen again, Mao Jiao was extremely hesitant and finally chose to see Bai Yan alone and asked Bai Yan personally if he wanted to return to Qi State. Personal grudge with Tian Ding, and whether he is willing to be a minister and general in Qi State.
For Mao Jiao, this is also something he does for his mother country.
Because of Ying Zheng, he did not tell Tian Ding about Bai Yan, which was not considered a betrayal of Ying Zheng. After Tian Ding left his mother country, he personally and privately questioned Bai Yan as a Qi man.
Mao Jiao has been lamenting that he is getting old these past two days, and now he just wants to be able to spend the rest of his life with peace of mind!
"Mrs. Mao overestimates Bai Yan!"
Bai Yan heard Mao Jiao's words and said softly, looking into the distance.
Although it was a simple sigh, for Mao Jiao, it was already an answer. Mao Jiao did not blame Bai Yan, but just nodded lightly.
At this time, Mao Jiao heard Bai Yan's voice again.
"Everyone in the world praises the Zhou Dynasty and King Wu of Zhou, but they don't know that for the people in the world, the world has been in chaos for eight hundred years!
! "
Bai Yan said softly.
One sentence can distinguish the world from the living people, express a sigh from the bottom of my heart, and express my heart's desire not to have another war.
Mao Jiao was stunned. Without him, Mao Jiao clearly felt from this sentence why Bai Yan didn't want to return to Qi.
At this moment, Mao Jiao came back to his senses and smiled bitterly, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head.
"I am really old!"
After a few breaths, Mao Jiao finally sighed.
Half an hour later.
Under the instructions of Mr. Hu and others, Bai Yan then said goodbye to Bai Yan, Bai Junzhu and his daughter, turned around and left the mansion, and set off for Yanmen.
"What did you say to Bai Yan just now?"
Mr. Hu stood next to Mao Jiao, turned to look at Mao Jiao, and asked curiously.
When Mao Jiao heard his old friend's question, he smiled and shook his head. Of course, it was impossible for him to tell Mr. Hu about his relationship with Bai Yan.
"You even hid it from me!"
When Mr. Hu saw that Mao Jiao refused to speak, he was angry and laughed, but he shook his head and did not ask further.
