Dusk is approaching.
At the gate of Daliang City, Lord Changping, wearing the official uniform of the Qin State, led a group of Qin State officials to the city gate.
As the prime minister of the Qin State, Lord Changping is a highly respected official. As a foreign relative of Yingzheng, Lord Changping's blood status is far beyond that of other ministers. Logically speaking, Lord Changping does not need to go out of the city to greet him.
But Lord Changping still came to the city gate.
This move was not only for other scholars to see, but also seemed to be for Ying Zheng.
Looking at the mighty cavalry warriors in the distance, holding black flags with the word Qin, Lord Changping stood in front of the officials, his eyes flickered for a moment, as if he was thinking about something taboo.
At this time, Lord Changping did not notice that among the officials of the Qin State behind him, Rui Wei, who was the chief official in Daliang City, looked at him with a somewhat different look. He seemed to be shocked, but also seemed to be in a state of confusion. In horror.
"Brother Rui, what do you think Concubine Qi looks like? I heard that Concubine Qi was known to the people of Qi for her kindness and beauty. Now she is the king's favorite concubine. We are all curious about what Concubine Qi looks like. , Brother Rui was once a minister, have you met Concubine Qi?"
Rui Wei looked at Lord Changping's back. At this moment, Rui Wei's heart was full of shock. You must know that the figure behind was the current Prime Minister of Qin, a person whose status was second only to Qin King Ying Zheng.
If it hadn't been for what Bai Yan said, Rui Wei would never have believed that the current Prime Minister of Qin, Lord Changping, wanted to frame his colleagues and murder Bai Yan.
If this matter was spread, Rui Wei couldn't imagine how shocked the world would be, and what the scene would be like in the Qin Dynasty court. Hearing Lu Le's words next to him, Rui Wei turned his head and looked at this person who, with his help, A descendant of the Lu family who became a minor official.
"I have seen it before. In terms of beauty, Daliang is only comparable to Mo Xiao and Lian Ji. She is the most beautiful in the world!"
Rui Wei whispered to Lu Le. After finishing speaking, he adjusted the sword at his waist and couldn't help but glance at Changping Jun's back before looking away.
Listening to Lu Le's inquiry and talking about Concubine Qi, Rui Wei felt quite proud.
Among the officials here, even the confidants and retinues of Lord Changping have never met Concubine Qi, let alone other officials. It can be said that Rui Wei, now that he has seen Concubine Qi, must have a relationship with Concubine Qi, and his relationship with Concubine Qi must be the same as with other officials. People are much closer.
"Here he comes, he comes, that's General Sima Xing!"
"It's Sima Xing!"
Amidst the many exclamations, as the Qin riders approached each other, a Qin general wearing Qin armor slowly rode forward until he was not far away from Lord Changping, and then he got off his horse.
Immediately afterwards, Lord Changping and Sima Xing were seen approaching each other and saluting each other. As for what they said, no one knew.
Seen soon after.
An exquisite and extravagant carriage, escorted by many Qin riders, eunuchs, and maids, also slowly stopped not far away. Not long after, a woman in uniform walked out of the carriage.
Everyone knew that that woman was Concubine Qi.
After Concubine Qi got off the carriage and slowly approached, all the officials outside the city gate, the Qin soldiers guarding the city gate, as well as the common people and merchants watching from a distance, all took a deep breath, and then started making noises.
What a beautiful beauty!
This is the thought that comes to almost everyone's mind when they see Concubine Qi's appearance.
It's no wonder that everyone is so surprised. Daliang is not Xianyang of the Qin State, let alone the palace of the King of Qin, the center of power. Not everyone can enter, let alone the harem that gathers the beauty of the world.
In the Xianyang Palace, there were Princess Mi, Mrs. Zhao, Han Meiren, and a host of beauties, eight sons, seven sons, long envoys, and young envoys. There were countless beauties.
Therefore, no matter how beautiful Concubine Qi is, she is only much more beautiful than other concubines in the harem of Xianyang Palace, and she is far from overwhelming all living beings.
However, now when we come to Daliang, no matter whether it is the people of Daliang, merchants from various countries, or officials, everyone has rarely seen some stunning beauties, let alone those who are even more beautiful than the stunning beauties. Concubine.
Naturally, almost everyone was stunned the moment they saw Concubine Qi, and could no longer look away.
At this moment, even the sons of the noble clan who had been wandering around in wine and sex all day, when they saw Concubine Qi, couldn't help but think that if they could get such a woman in this life, it would be really worthwhile for them to come to this world.
Inside Daliang City.
With the arrival of Concubine Qi, the streets in the city were full of people who stopped and watched. Whether it was a street shop or a restaurant, there were men and women watching in front of the windows.
When they saw the carriage returning to the city and saw the Qin knights escorting an exquisite carriage slowly passing by on horseback behind many officials, everyone started talking.
And among the crowd.
All the men in cloth also looked at this scene, then looked at each other, and retreated away from the crowd. There were also some men who slowly walked forward among the crowd.
Rui Wei also wore a sharp sword and was walking with his colleagues when he suddenly saw a man coming from the crowd and handing him a bamboo slip.
The curious Rui Wei glanced at the bamboo slips, his face changed, and after looking around, he walked towards the crowd on the side without waiting for what the other officials around him did.
Under the red sunset.
In a huge and luxurious mansion in Daliang City, Lord Changping brought Sima Xing and Concubine Qi to the courtyard.
"Concubine Qi, this is the residence of Lord Wei Song, a relative of the King of Wei. Now Wei Song has moved to Xianyang. The residence is vacant. The servants and maids are all new slaves. Concubine Qi can live here with peace of mind!"
After Lord Changping glanced around the mansion, he turned to Concubine Qi and said with cupped hands.
When Sima Xing heard this, he couldn't help but look around. Sima Xing had also heard about Fengze Lord of Wei State, and knew that Fengze Lord was a wealthy man who could rival the country. Now that he saw it, the rumors were true.
Fengze is a place name in the Wei State. Its status in the Wei State is like Yueyang and Yongcheng in the Qin State. It is the old city where the clan worships heaven. In the past, King Hui of Wei invited the kings of Song, Wei, Zou, Lu and other countries to visit. The meeting of Qin Gongzi and his young officials took place in Fengze, which was also the famous meeting in Fengze.
After King Hui of Wei had worshiped heaven at Fengze, he took many kings to see the Emperor of Zhou.
"Guichan, thank you, Lord Changping!"
Concubine Qi looked at Mr. Changping, who was nearly fifty years old, with her beautiful eyes. She hurriedly saluted him because she had worked so hard, and her heart was filled with gratitude.
Concubine Qi did not dare to be disrespectful at all to this relative of King Qin Yingzheng, who was also the supporter behind Concubine Mi. The prime minister of Qin State, Concubine Qi did not dare to be disrespectful at all. Seeing that Lord Changping was so concerned about her own affairs, Concubine Qi would be lying if she said she was not grateful.
"Concubine Qi's trip is an alliance between Qin and Qi. When Qi heard about it, Concubine Qi took the initiative to tell the king. Qi, I admire you very much!"
Lord Changping looked at Concubine Qi and said with a smile, his cheeks full of relief and admiration.
"Yes! With such great righteousness, there are few women in the world as good as Concubine Qi!"
Sima Xing also nodded in agreement.
This also made Concubine Qi lower her head and say nothing, signaling the two of them to praise her.
As Sima Xing finished speaking, he saw Qin Sui coming over after a while, and under the gaze of Lord Changping, he held his hand towards Sima Xing.
"General, the officers and men have checked clearly, and there are guards outside the mansion!"
Qin Sui said.
Sima Xing nodded. Sima Xing knew the Iron Eagle Warriors better than anyone else. With the Iron Eagle Warriors guarding the mansion, Sima Xing was not worried about anything happening.
"General Sima, I have prepared a bottle of wine at the residence, and I would like to invite General Sima to come to the residence to have a chat!"
At this time, Lord Changping raised his hand and invited Sima Xing to the banquet.
Hearing this, Sima Xing looked at Concubine Qi, then thought about it, raised his hand and nodded to Lord Changping.
……………………
Inside Daliang City.
The sky gradually fell, and with the lights of thousands of houses in the city, in the night, the city was filled with spots of light, covering the entire land.
Lord Changping's residence was filled with the sounds of toasts and laughter.
In the main hall, not only Sima Xing but also officials from Daliang City were participating in the banquet. At a glance, those sitting on their knees behind the wooden tables were all heads of clans from many famous families in Daliang City.
And when the old man is not here, the eldest son will come, just like Shi family and Shi Cheng are not here, but brothers Shihe and Shichuan are all invited to Lord Changping's mansion to participate in the banquet.
Under dozens of candle lights.
There was endless laughter and laughter, and young and beautiful women were sitting at the wooden table, pouring wine for the men or old men next to them.
At the banquet, Sima Xing also drank a lot.
"Before, Bai Yu told me that that boy Bai Yan was from Qi~! Hahaha, Qi! At that time I was curious, Bai Yan and Qi had made such great military exploits for the Qin State, I didn't know that Qi was How does the king feel?"
Sima Xing's face was red. As the main guest at the banquet, whether it was Lord Changping, the officials of Daliang, or the nobles, they all kept toasting Sima Xing's wine.
Sima Xing's character was carefree, not much different from Bai Yu's, so after drinking too much, he started to talk more when the nobles asked him intentionally.
"On this trip, Your Majesty asked me to bring three carriages with you... as a generous gift to the King of Qi!"
Sima Xing couldn't help but burp in the middle of speaking, and said with a drunken smirk.
Recalling the king's instructions before leaving in the past, Sima Xing couldn't help but become happy when he thought of that scene. Not mentioning the king, now Sima Xing recalled that the scene of meeting Bai Yan for the first time had never occurred to Sima Xing. , that boy Bai Yan is actually the same person.
Thinking of how not long ago, that boy Bai Yan even found the Nine Provinces Cauldron that had disappeared for decades.
In Sima Xing's dizzy eyes, he couldn't help but look to the side with a smile, looking at Lord Changping on the main seat. Sima Xing already knew that Bai Yu's current appearance was all thanks to Lord Changping. Bai Yu even almost died in the hands of Lord Changping.
There is also Bai Yan’s experience in Shangjun in the past.
If it weren't for Bai Yan, Bai Yu wouldn't have been saved by Bian Que's disciples, let alone Bai Yu's reputation and clan would not have declined even after Bai Yu was unable to lead the army.
Seeing Lord Changping shaking his head with a smile, Sima Xing's eyes were full of bad taste. At the moment, Lord Changping thought he was laughing at King Qi, but little did he know that he was laughing at Lord Changping.
Qi Ren, Bai Yan is Qi Ren!
I don’t know how Changping Jun would feel when he learned that Bai Yan was from Qi, and thought that all the previous plans were foiled by Bai Yan, who was from Qi.
Now, that boy leads the troops to destroy Wei and finds the Nine Provinces Cauldron for the king!
With that boy protecting the Bai family, what can you do if you, Changping Jungui, are the prime minister of Qin and the head of the Chu clan? Can you still target the Bai family now?
hehe!
Lord Changping, Lord Changping!
Are you angry to see that the Bai family is now being protected by a boy from Qi Ren?
"Mr. Changping, Xing, I am here today to pay my respects to Mr. Changping. That boy Bai Yan made many mistakes when he attacked Wei in the past. Fortunately, Mr. Changping took care of the aftermath! When Xing returns in the future, I will let that boy follow Xing. Come and say thank you in person!"
The more Sima Xing thought about it, the happier he became, so he picked up the wine cup and toasted to Lord Changping again.
Both inside and outside the words were saying that Bai Yan had made meritorious deeds, and Lord Changping was also responsible for this. When he saw Bai Yan, he would ask Bai Yan to thank Lord Changping in person for whatever he said.
"As a minister of Qin, this is what you should do, please!"
When Lord Changping heard Sima Xing's words, he smiled and shook his head. After being humble, he picked up the wine baron and signaled.
At this time, Lord Changping didn't know what Sima Xing was thinking, and similarly, Sima Xing didn't know what Lord Changping was thinking. Lord Changping stretched out his hand to lift up his broad embroidered robe, picked up the wine cup, and drank the wine slowly.
Sima Xing never dreamed that in his eyes, Lord Changping, who was just trying to avenge himself, was already planning to rebel against Qin.
What was directed against the Bai family was a personal vendetta, which was not the same concept as rebelling against the Qin Dynasty.
The nature is also far different.
Now, in the mansion, neither Sima Xing nor all the Wei nobles in the main hall could have imagined that Lord Changping had prepared his dead men. As soon as the news of Concubine Qi's death came, they would immediately take action to kill Sima Xing. .
By then, all the clan members in the mansion tonight will be accomplices!
Due to Qin's continuous sitting system, when faced with the deaths of Sima Xing and Concubine Qi, even if Lord Changping let them go, Qin would not let them go. The only way to survive was to help Lord Changping attack the Qin army.
This was also the last resort of Lord Changping after he was unable to win over the soldiers of Wei.
Changping Jun also never understood why the Wei soldiers in Daliang City seemed determined to join the Qin State. No matter how they tried to test them, they just let the Chu people lobby and test them, and then the nobles arrested them and tried every means to express their feelings to themselves. Loyalty to Qin.
This also left Changping Lord with no choice. He waited for the Qin envoys to arrive and chose to use this method to force the Wei gentry.
Concubine Qi's visit to Qi was beyond Lord Changping's expectations, but also surprised Lord Changping.
In the main hall.
Looking at Sima Xing and hearing Sima Xing's words, many old men and middle-aged men looked at each other.
"It turns out that Sima Xing has known about this for a long time!"
Many people, including the noble men including Shihe and Shichuan, looked thoughtful. The meaning behind this sentence could not help but let them savor it carefully, and for the words that followed.
"Three-car ride!!"
"this……"
Looking at Sima Xing with a bad smile on his face and drinking wine, everyone felt that Ying Zheng was trying to kill someone.
Everyone here knows that since the news that Bai Yan is from Qi has spread all over the world, everyone knows that Bai Yan, who is from Qi, has helped Qin lead troops to attack Zhao, defeat the Xiongnu and then destroy Wei. Everyone knows that King Qi may not be feeling well now.
And Ying Zheng's actions are undoubtedly naked...
I'm afraid that King Qi will be mad!
But this is also a disguised reminder to King Qi that Bai Yan is still in Qin!
Among the people of Qi, is there anyone as good at fighting as Bai Yan? If there is, King Qi will not be angry because of this move. If not, King Qi will think carefully about the consequences of rashly opposing Qin.
Many old men couldn't help but sigh after thinking clearly about Ying Zheng's intentions.
Looking at Sima Xing who was full of pride.
In fact, every time I hear the name Bai Yan, I think that Bai Yan is from Qi, and they, the nobles, have to blame the King of Qi more than anyone else.
After all, it was their Wei State that was destroyed by Bai Yan's troops, and it was the country of their Wei people. In their eyes, if King Qi could keep such generals in Qi State, how could our Wei State be defeated by Qin State? It was destroyed, so now it can only surrender to the Qin State and survive cautiously.
Daliang City took more than a hundred years to build and build! It is known as the most solid city in the world.
If he hadn't met Bai Yan, whoever attacked Daliang would have hit a wall.
As a result, as soon as Bai Yan came to Daliang, before the people arrived, he dug ditches and diverted the water from Honggou and Zhuhe rivers to destroy the city of Daliang and annihilate all the previous dynasties of Wei State.
"King Qi!!!"
"well!"
The elders and men of the gentry who were kneeling behind the wooden tables could not help but feel weak and full of resentment every time they thought of King Qi's mediocre king.
Inside Daliang City.
While Sima Xing was drinking with the Daliang nobles and Lord Changping.
All around the city, in the dark mansions, densely packed men stood in the wide courtyard. Under the light of a few torches around, you could vaguely see that almost every one of these men had a sharp sword in their hand. .
"Sir, we have ordered people to go to the West City. We can capture the West City at any time!"
A man slowly reported.
The leading man nodded when he heard the words, stood under the eaves, looked at the dense crowd of dead soldiers in front of him, and raised his hand to signal.
In an instant.
Led by the two men beside them, all the men in the yard turned around one after another and walked towards the outside of the mansion.
In the night.
Outside the gate of Lord Fengze's mansion, the Iron Eagle warriors looked around with vigilant expressions. Whether it was the gate of the mansion or the surrounding areas of the mansion, there were Iron Eagle warriors patrolling and guarding them all.
There are also Iron Eagle warriors stationed in the mansion.
It can be said that the entire mansion is tightly guarded by Iron Eagle warriors, which is no wonder Sima Xing can feel relieved.
In the dark night.
The Iron Eagle warriors in front of the gate suddenly saw a looming figure walking in the dark alley not far away through the faint night. For a moment, several Iron Eagle warriors couldn't help but look wary.
At the signal of the leading general, the six Iron Eagle warriors took two steps forward, ready to draw their swords at any time. The few behind them loaded their crossbows and pointed their arrows at the approaching figure.
However, when the figure approached, the general of the Iron Eagle Warriors saw the person coming, and his eyes suddenly showed a look of astonishment, surprise, and disbelief.
"General Bai Yan!"
The general asked the other warriors to put away their crossbows, then stepped forward and raised their hands to Bai Yan.
As the Iron Eagle warrior who escorted Bai Yan, the general not only often saw Bai Yan at close range, but also often protected Bai Yan after dark, so the general was very familiar with Bai Yan.
"Go and report to Concubine Qi. Bai Yan wants to see you. Remember, there are assassins in the mansion and no one should know about it."
Bai Yan said to the general.
The general looked shocked when he heard Bai Yan's words, Assassin! ! !
Before the general could ask about his doubts, he saw Bai Yan continue to speak.
"Hundreds of dead soldiers have been lurking in the city, and they will come to assassinate Concubine Qi tonight! Let all the soldiers in the mansion be prepared! I have ordered the cavalry to enter the city in disguise and lurk around!"
Bai Yan's words made the general's pupils shrink and he was covered in cold sweat.
As an iron eagle warrior, the general knew what the word "death warrior" meant. Looking at Bai Yan, the general knew that Bai Yan would not lie to him, so after coming back to his senses, he quickly accepted his order, turned around and hurried towards the mansion. Go inside to see Concubine Qi.
