As days passed, Bai Yan was driven out of Qi by Tian Ding. Not only the generals and generals of Qin, but also the nobles in the city and more and more Qin soldiers heard about it.
At this time, the entire Zhongwu City began to become lively.
And after the Chu army was defeated, and Jing Qi and Chang Wenjun were defeated and beheaded by Bai Yan, the fact that Tian Ding drove Bai Yan out of Qi became particularly eye-catching. Almost an individual could not help but think of these two. things, connected together.
In the mansion.
Bai Yan looked at the news sent from other cities, as well as the food and grass sent by Xiao He and Lu Qi from behind.
At this time, Bai Yan was extremely lucky. He met Lu Qi when he was in a low position, and met Xiao He at the beginning of his attack on Chu. If not for these two people, they were constantly preparing food and grass in the rear to supply the entire Qin army.
Bai Yan couldn't imagine how busy he, the general, would be without these two people. He might not be able to devote himself to the battlefield when resisting the Chu army led by Xiang Yan.
"General, outside the mansion..."
At this time, Mang walked into the study and came to Bai Yan. He bowed his hands and saluted Bai Yan, but he looked weird again in the middle of his words.
"A man said he wanted to see the general. He said he was the general's cousin, named You!"
Looking at Bai Yan's confused eyes, he finally said it.
At this time, he was not sure whether the man outside the mansion was a member of the general clan. Just now, he felt that the man had an uneasy look on his face and his eyes were wandering. It seemed that he was not even sure about the man. However, when he asked the man about the appearance of the general, the man That's right again.
"Depend on?"
When Bai Yan heard what Zhang said, he didn't react at first. When he thought of something, he stood up immediately, put down the bamboo slips, and walked out of the study.
Outside the mansion.
Boyu looked around with an uneasy look on his face, breathing heavily. It was the first time he came to such a strange place, and there was no feeling of familiarity at all. Everyone would feel uneasy. But when he saw the man wearing armor and carrying a sword at the gate of the mansion, Seeing the gazes of the six Qin army officers, Boyu was so nervous that he swallowed his saliva.
Dad, mom, and grandma are not mistaken!
Is Bai Yan really Yan?
That's Qin General Bai Yan! The famous Qin general who had just led the Qin army and broke through the encirclement of the Chu army must not make a mistake. Otherwise, if he is caught and interrogated, he will be whipped and even lose his life.
"Is such a big mansion really Yan?"
Puyou kept scanning the huge mansion in front of him. Not to mention the place where Puyou lived in Qi State, even the palace where Puyou once lived was not half as big as this one.
Inside, the famous general of Qin lived, Bai Yan!
Could it really be Yan?
There were footsteps beside him, and Boyu turned his head and saw a middle-aged man wearing silk clothes. After living in Qi for so many years, not to mention the clothes, but the look in this middle-aged man's eyes, Boyu had already... Guess, this person is no ordinary person.
Think of this.
Xu You instinctively did not look directly at the other party, so as not to offend the other party.
"Junzi Hao! The general is at the mansion!"
When the Qin army officers guarding the mansion saw Zhonglihao arriving and heard Zhonglihao's words, they quickly raised their hands and answered.
When Zhonglihao learned that Bai Yan was at the mansion, he nodded, but just as he was about to quietly ask the soldiers to report, he suddenly thought of something and looked back at the young man not far away.
"Who is that person? Why are you here?"
Zhong Lihao turned around, raised his hands to the cavalry general, and asked softly, a little curious.
Normally, Zhongli Hao would never have spoken easily to inquire about a man in civilian clothes whom he had never met before. But now he was outside Bai Yan's mansion, and when he just passed by, he glanced at the young man. For some reason, Zhongli Hao I can't help but leave some impressions.
Even Zhongli Hao couldn't explain it.
"Hao Junzi, that man said he was a relative of the general and came to seek refuge with the general. I don't know whether it is true or not. General Zhang has already gone to report to the general! He must be out soon!"
The cavalry general guarding the gate of the mansion thought for a while and said to Zhong Lihao.
After all, the matter concerned General Bai Yan, and the soldiers did not dare to drive away the young man easily. They were also waiting for General Zhang to come out.
"Grandpa?"
When Zhonglihao heard the cavalry general's words, his expression suddenly changed. He turned his head in surprise and looked at the young man from a distance.
At this time, he vaguely heard the sound of footsteps. Zhonglihao turned around and saw Bai Yan hurriedly walking out of the mansion with a bag. Bai Yan seemed to be full of joy.
"General Bai!"
Zhongli Hao quickly raised his hands and saluted.
"Junzi Hao!"
Bai Yan was a little surprised when he saw Zhong Lihao, and then he returned the gift. After the ceremony, he instinctively looked at the familiar face not far away. Seeing the familiar face with a stunned look on his face and wide eyes, Bai Yan couldn't bear to His mouth was full of smiles and his eyes were full of excitement.
Zhong Lihao naturally noticed Bai Yan's gaze. At this time, he couldn't help but take a breath and turned his head to look at the man not far away.
As for Pu You, how could he still see Zhong Lihao's eyes at this moment? When he saw the young man walking out of the mansion, Pu You had already opened his mouth and stood numbly on the spot with a dull expression.
It’s really Yan!
The second son of my sister-in-law who lives in Shuicun! ! !
It was really my grandmother and my parents who said that Bai Yan, the famous general of Qin State, was really Yan'er! ! !
Come to your senses.
When Boyu looked at the familiar young man, said something to the middle-aged man in silk clothes, and then walked towards here with the Qin general behind him, Boyu came back to his senses.
But the anxiety, the hanging heart, and the restless random thoughts, finally fell to the ground when I saw the figure of the young man I had been familiar with since childhood. However, my heart fell to the ground, but a feeling of confusion came over my face.
Looking at the Qin army general who had frightened him just now and almost didn't dare to speak, all following the young man, an idea emerged in Boyu's mind.
Can you still recognize this foreigner?
Can he and that young man be the same as before?
"Cousin!"
When he was confused, his eyes were a little evasive and his expression was uneasy. When he saw the familiar boy and looked at him with a smile on his face, he said what he had called him before.
It wasn't until this moment that Boyu's heart calmed down.
"Yan!"
When Xu You spoke, his tone was still somewhat unconfident, so that in Xu You's eyes he had already spoken, but in the eyes of Hou and Zhong Lihao, if they hadn't had sensitive ears and saw Xu You's mouth moving, otherwise they would have I really doubt whether there is any sound.
"It's been a tiring journey, let's talk about it later!"
Bai Yan could understand his cousin's embarrassment, so he didn't care at all.
When Zhonglihao faced Bai Yan's invitation, he thought about it and declined it politely, saying that he was here because Zhongli was hosting a banquet and he wanted to invite Bai Yan to the mansion to attend the banquet in the evening.
"Bai Yan will definitely arrive!"
Bai Yan knew that Zhonglihao deliberately gave him a chance to be alone with his cousin who had just arrived, so he did not reject Zhonglihao's kindness.
Watching Zhong Li and Hao leave, Bai Yan and Zhang looked at each other, then looked at the quiet Xu You beside them, and couldn't help but smile.
Inside the mansion.
Boyu followed Bai Yan, looking left and right, with a look of amazement on his face, especially when he looked at Bai Yan, he was shocked.
Yan, is actually the general of Qin, Bai Yan!
Looking back on Yan's appearance when he was in Shuicun, the difference is too big. Now Yan not only lives in such a big mansion, but also commands so many soldiers of the Qin State.
this……
After a while, he came to the study room.
In the quiet study, except for the occasional faint sound from the fire and the occasional cold wind blowing by outside, there were only Xu You's words speaking quietly.
Bai Yan listened to his cousin Pu You talking about his grandmother. After learning that his grandmother was fine, he was completely relieved.
But when he learned that his grandmother was in that alley, she had been looking forward to his return.
Bai Yan, who had led troops on many battlefields and made countless military exploits for the Qin State, and now killed people without frowning, instantly turned red and even wiped the tears from his eyes.
When people are outside, even if they have fame and fame, they are like drifting autumn leaves.
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than five years. From the time he left Linzi, that small alley, to the last sight of his grandmother, Bai Yan can still remember it vividly. Whenever he leads the troops out, whenever it is quiet at night, and it coincides with the festival, Bai Yan remembers her clearly. Yan always longs to go back early.
Whether it is the Qin court, the Bai family, or Yanmen.
Bai Yan's family and grandmother are all in Qi State, in Shuicun, and in Linzi City.
"Where's my brother?"
When Bai Yan learned that his grandmother was well, he felt relieved. The thoughts in his heart were much better now that Shi You came here than before. Therefore, after learning about his grandmother, he asked his eldest brother.
"But he's still in Qi's army? I heard he named his nephew Shu'er!"
Bai Yan asked curiously.
"Well, yes! His name is Shu'er, and now Shou is still in the Qi army!"
Pu You nodded, but when Shui Shou was mentioned, Pu You could not help but feel a little panicked. When he came, neither his grandmother nor his parents reminded him that he could not say his last name before seeing Yan. Secondly, He then told him not to tell anything about Shui Shou.
Shui Shou has been particularly fond of his younger brother Shui Yan since he was a child. Even after he joined the army, whenever he had some annual salary, he was not willing to use it himself. He didn't even think of saving it. Instead, he asked someone to take it home and buy clothes for Shui Yan. Before Shui Shou left Qi State, the latest piece of clothing prepared by his sister-in-law was made of the money brought back by Shui Shou's trustee.
"Cousin, is something wrong?"
Bai Yan talked about his nephew with a smile on his face. At first, he was worried that his brother would just ask someone to bring the money home to him. In the future, his brother would not have money to marry, so he complained to his parents a lot about this. Now, his brother's children, Everyone has already started to play around. This blink of an eye is really fast.
But when he saw the look in his cousin Pu You's eyes, Bai Yan couldn't help but frown slightly. After leaving Qi for so many years, no matter whether they were gentlemen like Xi Yan, Wu Gao, and Tian Xian, or villains like Guo Kai and Chang Pingjun, Bai Yan I have seen them all before, so I could detect the dodge in my cousin Xuyou's eyes at a glance.
What's more, my cousin has never lied since he was a child.
Since his cousin was hiding something from him, and he did so after mentioning his brother, it must have something to do with his brother.
Could it be that something happened to my brother?
"What happened to my brother? I hope my cousin won't deceive Yan. My cousin should know that Yan can also order his trusted followers to go to Qi!"
Bai Yan looked at Xu You with some worry.
Before that, Tian Feiyan had been helping him take care of his grandmother, and Master Xu had also been to Shuicun, which confirmed that not only his grandmother, Tian Feiyan also ordered the great swordsman to live in Shuicun to protect his family. Therefore, Bai Yan has been keeping his family in Qi State. I was very relieved and didn't send anyone back to check. After all, the fewer people who went to the water village, the better. Even close friends might attract the attention of others. If they could, they wouldn't go.
But at this moment, looking at Xiao You, Bai Yan suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Yan, grandma asked me not to tell you..."
When Pu You heard Bai Yan's words, he didn't know that Bai Yan had already guessed that something was wrong. Hearing that Bai Yan wanted to order people to return to Qi Kingdom, Pu You looked embarrassed and full of hesitation, but finally thought about it and looked at Yan's eyes. Just say it anyway.
"Tell me! Cousin, shouldn't Yan be a relative? What if something happens at home? How can there be no reason not to let Yan know!"
Bai Yan shook his head, then looked at Xiaoyou and explained softly.
Hearing this, Boyu nodded, sighed, hesitated for a few seconds, and then looked at Bai Yan.
"Shou had already left the Qi army a few years ago. At that time, Shou was working as a doorman in Bogu City. I heard that he accidentally offended an adult. I heard that the adult was a relative of the Qi royal family, named Tianjia. At that time, the beauty Na Tianjia couldn't stand firm, but later she said that it was Shou who did it. Na Tianjia was so angry that he ordered people to punch and kick Shou. When Shou was about to die, he even said that he wanted Shou to be a useless person. , one of the master's servants immediately took a sword and pierced Shou's leg in full view of everyone. Later, I heard from my parents that if it weren't for the help of noble people from Tian Mansion, Shou would have almost died in Bogu City. Now longevity..."
Boyu slowly told the story about Shui Shou, raised his head and glanced at Bai Yan: "It's already difficult to walk!"
In the study room.
Bai Yan's eyes were staring straight at his cousin, his eyes full of disbelief, and his red eyes were flashing.
In the words he just heard, Bai Yan couldn't imagine the scene of what happened to his brother outside Bogu City.
"Brother, Tianjia!!!"
Bai Yan stood up slowly, an unprecedented anger bursting out in his heart, and the hatred that gnashed his teeth made Bai Yan's face extremely ferocious at this moment. This look made Xiao You on the side feel uneasy.
At this time, Pu You finally understood why his grandmother had repeatedly warned Yan'er not to know about this matter.
"Somebody come!!!"
Bai Yan's roaring voice sounded in the study.
Whether it was the cavalry officers outside the study or the cavalry officers guarding the yard, when they heard Bai Yan's words, their faces changed drastically and they hurried to the study. When all the cavalry officers came to the study and saw Bai Yan, they were all shocked. .
Even the alarmed Mang hurried to the study room, but as soon as he saw Bai Yan's look in his eyes, Mang's expression suddenly changed, and his heart was startled, full of fear.
Whether it was Zhang or all the cavalry officers, this was the first time they saw Bai Yan's eyes, so penetrating, with such undisguised murderous intent that no one had ever seen before.
"General!"
Zhang also stepped forward a little uneasily, not knowing what was going on. After taking a look at Xiao You, he stepped forward and raised his hands to Bai Yan. He didn't know why Bai Yan was so riotous and what he needed to do now.
In the study room.
It was very quiet, Xu You looked flustered, and Yan and all the cavalry officers also looked at Bai Yan with concern, waiting for Bai Yan's instructions.
Bai Yan had a ferocious face, and his eyes were full of anger, slightly bloodshot. When he looked at Gu and the eyes of other cavalry officers looking at him, Bai Yan blurted out the order, but he could no longer say it.
At this moment.
Bai Yan wanted to say something more, and the whole army went to Qi State.
But at the moment when he was about to say it, Bai Yan knew clearly what the consequences would be if he attacked Qi at this time.
Xiang Yan, commanding the Chu army, is watching hundreds of miles away. All the Qin army soldiers are still in Chu, facing the Chu army's attack. The Qin army's attack on Qi will not only force Qi to fight with the Qin army, but also force the Qin army to fight. With the alliance between Qi and Chu, Xiang Yan will also take the opportunity to besiege the Qin army with the Qi army again.
By then, the lives of all the Qin army officers and soldiers, as well as the people in front of them, may be at risk.
Bai Yan closed his eyes in despair, knowing the consequences and no longer losing his mind. In the end, he did not give the order. However, the anger in his heart was hard to calm down. The huge anger and hatred made Bai Yan turn around and face the wooden table fiercely. The punch was punched hard, and the loud sound startled everyone. When they saw Bai Yan's hand was stained with blood after just a few punches, the eyes of Hou and other soldiers shrank.
"General!!"
"General!"
Zhang, other soldiers, and Xiao You stepped forward to grab Bai Yan's hands to prevent Bai Yan from hurting him, and then looked at Bai Yan with worried expressions.
Kuang and all the cavalry officers were stunned, their breathing was slightly rapid, and they looked at Xiao You beside them uneasily, full of confusion, what on earth was going on! Why would the general do this?
Why was the general who remained calm when faced with the siege of hundreds of thousands of Chu troops in the past, so suddenly so furious now?
What did this man say to the general?
"I wouldn't have said anything if I had known it!"
Pu You was also a little confused at the moment, with a look of regret on his face. If he had known this, Pu You would not have said it even to death. Now Pu You is also worried about whether this matter will affect Yan.
Coming here, Pu You regretted seeing Yan for the first time. After all, if it weren't for him, Yan wouldn't know about it.
"let me go!"
After a long time, Bai Yan finally calmed down. Under everyone's concerned eyes, Bai Yan ignored the blood that kept flowing from his hands. After the soldiers released their arms, he slowly stood up.
"Yan!"
Pu You followed Bai Yan worriedly.
Bai Yan walked step by step to the door of the study, feeling the cold wind, looking towards the north, in the direction of Linzi of Qi State. Apart from Lord Changping, Bai Yan rarely wanted to kill someone so much.
"Tianjia! Qi Wang's Royal Family!!!"
Bai Yan secretly vowed in his heart that one day, he would make Tian Jia and all those who hurt his brother regret what they had done in the past.
………………………
Under night.
In Zhongli's mansion, in the main hall, there was singing and dancing, and the dazzling female musicians swayed their beautiful figures in the eyes of the noble men.
It was okay for the noble men. After all, in Zhongwu City, they often lingered in restaurants. The Zhongli family's mansion was also a frequent visitor. She is prettier than a doctor's daughter.
Not to mention that Boyu had never had a drink before. At this moment, there was actually a woman in silk clothes beside him, gently pouring wine for him. This made Boyu feel at a loss and looked to the side with worry. Yan behind the desk.
Pu You is not stupid. He knows that he is sitting here now because of Yan. Looking at Yan's appearance at this moment, Pu You is also very worried.
Although Yan was very grateful to him for informing him about this matter, Su You still blamed himself very much.
"Is the general sad?"
A handsome, young woman knelt down next to Bai Yan and poured wine for Bai Yan.
"How does the girl know?"
When Bai Yan heard this, he turned to look at the young beauty Zhongli found for him. He could see that Zhongli was really attentive. The woman next to him looked so pitiful and pitiful. For a man, Few people can control it.
Fortunately, although Bai Yan was in a bad mood and wanted to indulge in alcohol, he would not be fascinated by this woman. Her eyes could attract people's hearts. Compared to Zhao Qiu, the girl next to him was far different in terms of beautiful eyes. .
Zhao Qiu was born with a small tear mole under the corner of her eye, which is also a small beauty mole. Her beautiful eyes look like soul-eating eyes, making people unable to take their eyes away.
In Yanmen.
Whenever he and Zhao Qiu get along in the study, Bai Yan looks at Zhao Qiu. Every time he looks at Zhao Qiu, he can't help but admire Zhao Qiu's beauty.
"The general's eyes tell that to the little girl!"
The girl said to Bai Yan, maybe because she knew that she wanted to serve Bai Yan. The girl's loose clothes and every move seemed to be alluring. This is why at banquets, other noble men would always look at the girl unnaturally. , had he not seen Bai Yan, his greed would never have dissipated easily.
"I have never seen Zhongli before!"
Bai Yan drank the wine poured by the woman, then looked at the woman and said.
Just when the woman was about to explain, Bai Yan had already gently held the girl's hand and touched her palm.
"Zhongli wanted to give the girl to Bai Yan, so he didn't touch her. For this reason, Zhongli didn't know how many people had died under this white palm!"
Bai Yan whispered, then smiled.
When the girl heard Bai Yan's words, her pupils shrank, her beautiful eyes flashed with panic, she forced herself to calm down, and smiled.
"The general is joking! The little girl's hands have neither calluses nor the strength to bind chickens. How dare she kill someone! The general really knows how to tease little girls!"
While the girl was speaking, she did not take out the hand Bai Yan was holding.
But at this time, Bai Yan took the initiative to let go.
"With your words and eyes, I have already told Bai Yan!"
After Bai Yan finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and pointed a finger at the dark night outside the main hall.
"Today Zhongli wants to marry Bai Yan. Bai Yan doesn't want to cause chaos and ruin the good thing. It's too late for the girl to leave now, or the girl can try to kill Bai Yan here!"
Bai Yan said softly.
He has been to Zhongli's house several times. If Bai Yan remembers correctly the woman next to his cousin Boyu, she is Zhongliji's eldest sister. Therefore, the intentions of Zhonglihao and others are very obvious.
In the past, Bai Yan would not have wanted his relatives to be involved in the nobility. After all, Ying Zheng's royal power would sooner or later conflict with the world's nobility. If he was involved in the conflict between the nobility and the royal power, not only his relatives, but also his family would be involved. It is difficult for Bai Yan to escape from this quagmire.
But now, after learning about his brother, Bai Yan couldn't help but change his mentality and no longer resisted such things.
Many times you don’t provoke others, but that doesn’t mean someone won’t kill you.
Just like his brother, Bai Yan doesn't have the ability to protect him. If he has any grudges, he can only wait until later to avenge him. What he has to do now is to ensure that his brother's experience must not happen to his cousin in the future. The Zhongli family is a wealthy family. No matter what happens in the future, No matter what happens, even if Bai Yan is not in Chudi, if his cousin Pu You is in danger, Zhongli will help his cousin behind the scenes regardless of his own safety.
Think of this.
Bai Yan decided to first see if his cousin was satisfied with the woman's marriage to the Zhongli family. After his cousin decided, he would then consider whether to tell his cousin about his uncle.
The daughter of Yin Bei!
