Tian Feiyan wanted to go to Lu Mansion, but Tian Xian was there, so Bai Yan did not go. First, Lu Qi and Lu Sheng were not in Xianyang, and second, Tian Ding had not come to Xianyang yet.
Now Tian Feiyan and Tian Xian are visiting their grandfather. According to Bai Yan's custom, Bai Yan, who is already Tian Feiyan's beloved, is visiting for the first time. Since Tian Feiyan's father Tian Ding is healthy, he needs to follow Tian Ding. You have to come to the door, otherwise you will be overstepping your seniority, and you will be suspected of ignoring your elders.
Inside the mansion.
After sending Tian Feiyan away, Bai Yan returned to the study and looked at the news sent by Chu Di.
At first, I saw the news sent by Zhongli. With Yang Yan, Huipu, and Yanmao here, Zhongli and Hao were in Shouchun. They received a lot of private care and received a lot of benefits.
Looking at it, Bai Yan couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw the bamboo slips sent by his uncle.
The younger uncle was indeed soft-hearted in his treatment of Xiang Liang and could not bear to kill Xiang Liang.
In fact, if Xiang Liang hadn't set a trap to see his uncle risking his life to save him, Xiang Liang would never have said anything about repaying his kindness, let alone treating his uncle as a good friend. However, after reading his uncle's letter, Bai Yan could I understand the embarrassment in my uncle's heart.
but……
"If the Xiang family is not eliminated, how will my uncle escape?"
Bai Yan put away the bamboo slips and frowned slightly.
In Bai Yan's plan, after the Xiang family was eliminated, his uncle would immediately leave and come to Xianyang of the Qin State. With his contribution to the Qin State, he would not worry about not being able to serve as an official.
After Qi surrendered to Qin, Bai Yan would personally go to Feng's mansion and ask Mr. Feng, who was the right prime minister, to help him return his uncle to Qi and serve as an official in Linzi.
In this way, my uncle could not only escape from the Chu land, but also become an official of the Qin State in one fell swoop, return to his hometown with honor, and enjoy the glory and wealth in the prosperous capital city of Linzi, Qi State.
But now, my uncle couldn't bear to get rid of Xiang Liang.
"We cannot let Xiang Liang live..."
When Bai Yan was thinking, he thought that Xiang Yan was defeated by Qin, and Xiang Yan himself died in the hands of Bai Yan. If Xiang Liang lived for one day, if he learned that his uncle had betrayed the Xiang family, with the Xiang family's connections, this would It was too dangerous for my uncle.
His uncle couldn't bear it, so Bai Yan arranged for someone to do it himself.
Thinking of this, Bai Yan came to the wooden stand, picked up a blank bamboo slip from the wooden stand, came to spread it out on the wooden table, then knelt down, raised his hand to pick up the pen and ink, and wrote on the bamboo slip.
Bai Yan planned to ask his cousin Su You to lure his uncle away, and then let the Peng family, Zhongli family, and Song family send people to get rid of Xiang Liang.
It would be very hard to let these nobles who betrayed Chu and Xiang Yan surround and kill the Xiang clan.
The next two days.
Because he was leaving Xianyang and did not need to go to court, Bai Yan not only declined all visitors as usual, he even did not leave the mansion and stayed with Tian Feiyan and Bai Junzhu in the mansion.
Until the third day.
The sky was completely bright and Bai Yan just woke up.
When Tian Feiyan and Bai Junzhu learned that Bai Yan had woken up, they took their maids to bring breakfast to Bai Yan.
When I came to the room, I saw Bai Yan standing beside the wooden table, his expression still seemed a little sleepy.
After entering the room, Tian Feiyan suddenly blushed when he saw Bai Yan rubbing his lower back. His casual look and eyes almost made Bai Yan, who was sitting next to the wooden table, look straight in the eyes.
Feeling the slightest bit of pain in his waist, Bai Yan came back to his senses. When he thought about having to drive for more than half a month, looking at the charming Tian Feiyan, Bai Yan secretly said something like a fairy, and quickly put away other thoughts.
"If anything happens in Xianyang in the future, I will send someone to deliver a letter!"
Bai Yan looked at the breakfast prepared by Tian Feiyan. He knelt down in front of the wooden table and gave instructions while picking up the bowls and chopsticks to taste the delicious breakfast.
Bai Yan felt secretly regretful when he thought that he would not be able to eat such amazing food for several months.
But when he thought about Ying Zheng, he couldn't wait to send troops to Qi State. When he thought about Yanmen and Yunzhong, many things were waiting for him, as well as his own family and his brother's revenge...
At the moment, Bai Yan has no choice but to leave no matter how greedy he is.
"Um!"
The gentle response surprised Bai Yan. Seeing that Tian Feiyan did not refute or bicker this time, Bai Yan felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
Looking at Tian Feiyan who looked a little gloomy, his eyes were not as lively as before. Even Bai Junzhu was silent and eating breakfast with him. Bai Yan couldn't help but smile. For some reason, he felt satisfied in his heart. .
After a while.
Bai Yan was eating breakfast and listening to the servant's report that he had arrived outside the mansion.
After hearing this, Bai Yan hurriedly took a few bites, then stood up to get Zhan Lu.
When Tian Feiyan and Bai Junzhu saw this, they also stood up and escorted Bai Yan to the outer courtyard.
When the foreign aid arrived and he was about to leave the mansion, Bai Yan stopped, turned around, and looked at Tian Feiyan and Bai Junzhu. He wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.
"Don't want to leave?"
After Tian Feiyan finished speaking, she looked away unnaturally. Although her eyes were full of concern and reluctance, her tone was still stubborn and did not show it, as if she had been without a mother since she was a child. When her father and brother were busy and did not accompany her, , she would always put away her "unreasonableness" and stay alone under the pavilion, never worrying anyone.
"It's not like I won't come back..."
When he didn't get a response, Tian Feiyan couldn't help but add lightly. When he saw Bai Yan's eyes, he noticed Bai Yan's thoughts.
"Your parents and brother are all waiting for you! Grandma is still in the alley, waiting for her grandson to return!"
Tian Feiyan said softly, then thought of something, and her beautiful eyes froze for a moment.
"medicine!!!"
With the exclamation, Tian Feiyan's eyes were full of panic, and then he turned around quickly and walked towards the backyard, ignoring Bai Yan.
When the other maids saw this, they also looked surprised, but they quickly followed Tian Feiyan.
"Take care of yourself! Let's go..."
Bai Yan looked at Tian Feiyan's hurried appearance, a little dumbfounded, then raised a smile, then looked at Bai Junzhu aside, and said softly.
"Um!"
Bai Junzhu actually wanted to say something, but with her cold nature, she became a little panicked.
Looking at Bai Yan's back as he turned around and left, Bai Junzhu thought of Tian Feiyan's words just now. She was full of curiosity about Bai Yan's family.
Grandfather, uncle, father, uncle, and even countless people in the world don't know Bai Yan's origin.
Watching Bai Yan leave at this moment, Bai Junzhu had a vague hunch that maybe next time, the news of Bai Yan reaches Xianyang, the world may know Bai Yan's origin, where he comes from, and who his parents are.
Outside the mansion.
Five or six disguised cavalry officers, leading their horses, stood beside a carriage chatting with them.
Seeing Bai Yan walking out of the mansion, several people stopped talking and saluted Bai Yan.
"General!"
"General!!"
Both Zhang and the cavalry officers who followed Bai Yan back to Xianyang in the past have been promoted and rewarded again. However, because they did not want to make too much noise leaving Xianyang, under Bai Yan's arrangement, most of the cavalry officers were waiting outside Hangu Pass. , only a few soldiers dressed up in disguise and followed him to the palace in the city.
"Have you settled your family?"
Bai Yan looked at several people and asked, especially Zhang.
As the general who commanded the Iron Armor Battalion before, Kuang was the one who made the greatest contribution among the many generals. Bai Yan was even more aware of the numerous rewards he received.
"Go back to the general! Everything has been arranged!"
After hearing Bai Yan's question, while the other soldiers nodded with smiles on their faces, they also nodded with a naive smile.
After being promoted, in addition to some money, he was also rewarded with a mansion. Although the mansion was not big, it was still a mansion. After returning to Luoyin, he couldn't wait to move his mother, wife and children into the new mansion. , and let servants and maids serve.
When he thought of his elderly mother, his wife, and children entering the new mansion, looking around in disbelief, he couldn't help but smile on his rough cheeks.
In life, no one knows whether he will die or live tomorrow, but for now, if his family can enjoy happiness, what else can be more satisfying for a man.
Mang was born a butcher since he was a child. After being slandered, his entire family almost became slaves. Fortunately, he was saved by Bai Yan. After experiencing these things, Mang had already put aside many things.
Not only himself, but also his mother and wife.
When leaving, Mang's mother and Mang's wife both told him with red eyes to take good care of themselves outside, and then they also told Mang not to forget the kindness of the general.
"It's time to settle in and set off to Yanmen!"
Bai Yan looked at the smiles on the faces of Zhang and the other soldiers. Feeling relieved, he came to the carriage.
Sitting in the carriage, Bai Yan raised his hand to open the small window next to the carriage, looked at the mansion, and felt the carriage move. He didn't put down his hand until the mansion was out of sight.
And just when Bai Yan left.
In the mansion.
Outside the house where the food was prepared, with the door closed, two maids stood guard outside.
However, what no one knows is that in the room, Tian Feiyan is squatting in front of the stove, his head curled up on his knees, his eyes are full of reluctance, a touch of moisture appears in his eyes, and after a few breaths, it slides down his cheeks to the ground.
It was so early in the morning that there was no medicine, but Tian Feiyan didn't want to cry in front of Bai Yan and Bai Junzhu.
She came to this strange Xianyang from Linzi of Qi State and became Bai Yan's wife. She had only met Bai Yan for a few days. If she said she didn't want Bai Yan to stay, it would be a lie.
But compared to others, only Tian Feiyan, who had met Bai Yan's family, understood best how much Bai Yan needed to go back.
Go back to the village where he was born, go back to that homeland, go back to see the relatives he left in the past.
His brother's revenge still needs to be avenged.
She didn't have the ability at the beginning, but now that Bai Yan has the ability, she naturally wants to go back and make decisions for her brother, and meet those who used to bully his brother.
In front of the stove.
While Tian Feiyan understood Bai Yan in his heart, he shed tears silently, then buried his head in his arms and sobbed gently.
Thinking that Bai Junzhu had clansmen and a father in Xianyang, she could also return to Pingyang to see her mother.
……………………
Carriages were driving slowly on the official road from Xianyang to Luoyin.
"General, my people! When they heard that I had returned home, they all came to visit me with food and grain. They all thought that after joining the army, they could go to Yanmen with the general!"
In front of the carriage, Ku, who was wearing cloth and driving the carriage, thought of the experience of returning home and said with emotion.
Only through personal experience and comparison with other people could Ku realize more and more clearly how lucky he was to be able to meet Bai Yan and follow him by his side.
"The same goes for me. Not only Hao Village, but also other villages, and many gentry children in Luoyin City have all come to me before!"
Sitting on the side of the carriage, looking at the carriage moving forward, listening to the words on the side, he remembered that when he returned to the village to offer sacrifices, all the men in the village came to find him and pray for him, so he agreed.
He was not surprised by the actions of those people. According to the laws of the Qin State, men can kill enemies and perform meritorious service after joining the army, and they can obtain titles by killing enemy soldiers. But the real situation is that entering the battlefield after joining the army is equivalent to Half of my life has already passed into the loess.
Not to mention the difficulty of killing enemy soldiers, even if you finally have the opportunity and are lucky to kill a soldier, no one dares to say that on the ever-changing battlefield, the army can win. If the army is defeated, everything will be in vain. , let alone promotion, even your own life cannot be guaranteed.
And once you enter the battlefield, there will be far more than one battle, there will be a second, third...
When he returned to Luoyin in the past, he heard that not only Hao Village, but also other villages within dozens of miles, as well as the people who enlisted in Luoyin City, most of them had died on the battlefield in the past few years. in, and can never go back.
Many of them died in Chu, at the hands of Xiang Yan, who led the Chu army.
This couldn't help but remind Mang of the time when all of them, along with Bai Yan, were besieged in Chudong by hundreds of thousands of troops from the Chu State. At that time, they were also in despair.
"Want to go to Yanmen?"
In the carriage, Bai Yan was a little surprised.
"Now that the war in the Central Plains has ended, and after the demise of Qi, there will be no more war in the Central Plains. If we go to Yanmen at this time, aren't we asking for trouble?"
Bai Yan sat in the carriage, listening to what Mang and Ku said outside, and shook his head.
With the demise of the Chu State, now there are only the Yan State, which fled to the north, the only surviving Dai Di, and the Qi State!
Without exception, these places are all not far from Yanmen. Going to Yanmen at this time is not only asking for trouble, but also going to the battlefield. In comparison, it is better to be a soldier in the Central Plains. Even if it is more tiring every day, It's like going to the land of Northern Xinjiang.
During the dry season and winter, the north will not be safe.
"You are indeed asking for trouble!"
He said, then after thinking about it, he couldn't help but turned to the side, smiled, and spoke carefully into the carriage: "General, there are some people who want to make meritorious deeds and are quite courageous!"
Seeing this, the man on the side looked at Zhang in surprise, but then fell silent. He and Bai Yan had already achieved meritorious service, so they did not accept the grain and millet sent by the villagers. However, for the men in the village, there were actually some Some people are very familiar with Ku.
Rather than not knowing where to transfer after joining the army, Ku thought it would be better to go to Yanmen and follow the general. After all, he followed the general all the way. He not only knew the general's skills, but also how good the general was to his soldiers.
In Ku's eyes, it is better to follow the general and not regret it even if you die in battle, than to follow other people and die inexplicably.
In silence.
The rumble of the carriage continued to sound, and other soldiers around the carriage also fell silent at this time.
Just when Mang and Ku were a little uneasy and worried about whether Bai Yan was angry, Mang regretted it and wished he could give himself a slap in the face.
"After the spring plowing, if they are not afraid of the bitter cold in northern Xinjiang, are not worried about the long journey but miss their relatives, and want to go to Yanmen to kill the enemy, I will write a letter and let them go to Yanmen!"
Bai Yan's voice came from inside the carriage.
"promise!"
Hearing this, Ku and Ku looked at each other. Their eyes were full of joy and their faces were full of smiles.
By the Luoyin River.
The carriage followed the official road and stopped next to the river.
Bai Yan got off the carriage and saw that there were still countless merchants crossing the Luoyin River. Bai Yan was relieved when he suddenly saw two familiar figures not far away.
Since Bai Yan and his party were quite large, and they all had war horses, when Bai Yan got off the carriage, everyone else by the river saw Bai Yan one after another, and the figure Bai Yan saw was naturally no exception.
Amid many curious eyes, Bai Yan stepped forward step by step and looked at Lu Gong and Lu Pheasant, whom he had met once before. After approaching, he held his hands in greeting.
"Bai Yan, I've met Uncle Lu, I've met Miss Lu Pheasant!"
Bai Yan looked at the eyes of Lu Gong, Lu Pheasant and the two men, and quickly realized something, so he stopped using his original identity.
"Lu Wen, meet Mr. Wu Lie!"
"Lu Pheasant, meet Lord Wu Lie!"
Lu Gong and Lu Pheasant quickly returned the courtesy.
The father and daughter were both panic-stricken and surprised. They didn't expect to see Bai Yan here, but thinking about it, across the river was Bai Yan's fiefdom, Luoyin. Seeing Bai Yan here was surprising. Also normal.
Lu Pheasant stood next to his father Lu Wen. He looked at the young man in front of him, whom he had met once before. Thinking that he was Bai Yan, his breathing became a little faster. When he lowered his head, he did not even dare to look directly at him like before. This man.
"Lu Ze! Meet Mr. Wu Lie!"
"Lu Shizhi, meet Lord Wu Lie!"
When Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi saw Bai Yan's curious eyes, they also raised their hands and saluted. Seeing Bai Yan next to him, the Lu Ze brothers felt a little uneasy instinctively.
Having been in the world for many years, the two brothers can guess roughly who they can provoke and who they cannot afford to offend.
Looking at Mang, the two of them had a hunch that they might not be able to defeat this person even if they join forces.
Thinking of this, the two of them looked at Bai Yan in front of them with fear.
"I met Lu Bo in the past and heard the names of these two gentlemen. When I meet them today, they are indeed extraordinary!"
Bai Yan returned the courtesy to the two of them.
Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi looked at each other in surprise after hearing Bai Yan's words, but they didn't wait for Lu Ze to reply.
"Wu Liejun is so complimentary. Who in this world doesn't know that Wu Liejun destroyed Wei and defeated Chu..."
When Lu Gong heard Bai Yan's words, he quickly returned the greeting with a smile, looking a little nervous.
After learning that Bai Yan was the former Xu Junzi, and then thinking about what happened in Daliang, Lu Gong still didn't know that the reason why he met Bai Yan in the past was that Bai Yan secretly went to Daliang to encircle and suppress the dead soldiers of the Chu Kingdom.
But Lu Gong doesn't know at this moment whether Bai Yan has heard about the eldest son's plan in the past. If he knew...
Thinking of this, Mr. Lu couldn't help but glance at the people beside Bai Yan, feeling extremely worried.
"Wu Liejun!"
"Bai Yan! He is Lord Wu Lie, Bai Yan!!!"
Beside the river, following the actions and words of Lu Gong and others, the countless merchants crossing the river who had been watching suddenly started to make a noise, looked at each other, and whispered.
Bai Yan naturally saw this scene, and then looked at Lu Gong and others.
"Lü Bo was so complimentary that Bai Yan felt guilty. In the past, he had an appointment with Lü Bo to visit Lü Bo's father. He never thought that Bai Yan would break his promise. He was so ashamed that when we meet today, Bai Yan wanted to go to Luoyin. I’m hosting a banquet for Uncle Lu, and I won’t hesitate to invite him!”
Bai Yan bowed his hands in front of Lu Gong and said, Bai Yan knew a lot about Lu Gong and Lu Zhi, but he knew nothing about Lu Ze and was extremely curious.
Thinking about the chaos in the world in the future, there are many capable people around Lu Ze. With Lu Ze's current status, he can gather capable people, and those people are all working for him. Bai Yan does not believe that Lu Ze is an ordinary person.
"Wu Liejun invites you, Lu Wen, will not refuse!"
When Lu Gong heard Bai Yan's words, he quickly returned the favor. At this moment, Lu Gong was also full of doubts as to why Bai Yan would hold a banquet to entertain him. Thinking that Bai Yan did not order anyone to capture his eldest son and second son, he must have no ill intentions.
Could it be that he really wanted to host a banquet because of the previous incident?
Lu Gong was full of doubts, but since he couldn't refuse at this time, he could only hope that Bai Yan would simply host a banquet.
Whether book friends believe it or not, I wrote the parting paragraphs while carrying a knife. From eight o'clock in the morning to now almost twelve o'clock in the evening, except for a few minutes to eat, I have not left the room!
Bad parting! It is even more difficult to describe Tian Feiyan's reluctance and his heart-warming understanding!
