"General, it's almost time to reach Shanwu!"
Sitting in the carriage, Bai Yan listened to the sound of people in front of him, breathed a sigh of relief, and ran all the way, finally returning to Shanwu City.
After opening the small window of the carriage and entering the city, Bai Yan saw that the streets were full of prosperity. Compared with other counties, the cities in Yanmen County were much more stable even though they were located to the north.
This kind of stability is precisely what the entire Zhao region and the people of the entire Central Plains need very much.
In terms of poverty, perhaps none of the war-torn Central Plains regions can compare to the Zhao region.
The people of Zhao, who experienced famine and war a few years ago, now cherish their hard-earned life more than anyone else.
After a while.
The carriage went all the way along the street and stopped in front of the county captain's mansion.
"Take the soldiers to rest, run around, and come to the mansion for dinner later!"
Bai Yan got out of the carriage and gave instructions to Zhang.
"promise!"
He accepted the order with his hands in hand, then turned around and walked towards the other cavalry soldiers.
Bai Yan came to the door of the mansion. The servant guarding the mansion naturally knew Bai Yan, so he quickly took Bai Yan into the mansion.
After learning that Bai Yan had returned to the mansion, Bao, Xi, and Master Xu all came to the courtyard. Even the arrogant Zhao Qiu was not far away, following slowly and leisurely.
"General!"
"General!!"
Bao Shi, Master Xu, and Xi came to Bai Yan and quickly saluted Bai Yan.
Bai Yan saw the three people from the Bao family, wearing official uniforms, and raised his hands to return the salute. However, before Bai Yan could speak, he heard a voice.
"He actually gave up his beautiful wife from Xianyang. As early as in Handan, people had heard that Tian Ding's daughter was a rare beauty. In the past, gentlemen of all countries and some young masters could only dream of having this girl as their wife, but they were willing to return to Shanwu!"
Zhao Qiu's voice sounded in the courtyard. Bai Yan turned his head and looked at Zhao Qiu's appearance. Bai Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart when he heard the intriguing words.
We haven't seen each other for a year, but when we see each other, it's like eating gunpowder.
"According to the king's order! Take charge of the garrison in the northern border!"
Bai Yan thought of the conversation he had with Zhao Qiu alone in the room a year ago on the eve of their departure. Finally, he sighed helplessly and raised his hand to salute Zhao Qiu.
Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan's appearance and seemed to still be dissatisfied.
"Then why not bring Shan Wucheng, marry Tian Feiyan, and have concubine Bai Junzhu. Zhao Qiu is very curious and wants to see if the two of them are as rumored."
Zhao Qiu said.
Bai Yan listened to Zhao Qiu's appearance and looked at the small mole in the corner of Zhao Qiu's eyes, feeling helpless. Why did Zhao Qiu's words become so thorny when he came back after not seeing him for a year.
"General! I've been tired from the journey. I'll ask my servant to prepare water for the general to wash up!"
Bao Shi looked at Zhao Qiu's appearance, his pretty face suddenly smiled, as if he realized something, and then said to Bai Yan.
In Shanwucheng, the Bao family had been waiting for Bai Yan. However, the Bao family, who had not seen Bai Yan for a year, saw Bai Yan return. Her young and pretty face was full of joy, but no matter how much she felt in her heart, Words can't compare to the thought of wanting Bai Yan to wash up and have a good rest.
yard.
Bai Yan wanted to talk to Zhao Qiu, but suddenly looked at Bao's actions and was a little surprised. He thought of something, and his eyes were filled with guilt.
Staring at Bao's back as he slowly left, Bai Yan sighed and turned to look at Zhao Qiu, shaking his head angrily.
"Are you concerned that Bai Yan married a wife and took a concubine?"
Bai Yan asked softly.
It's okay that Bai Yan didn't say anything. As soon as he finished speaking, it was like stepping on a cat's tail. Zhao Qiu's eyes widened suddenly, and his eyes were full of coldness. He stepped forward step by step and came to Bai Yan.
Just when Master Xu didn't know what Zhao Qiu was going to do, he saw Zhao Qiu standing in front of Bai Yan.
"Who cares if you take wives and concubines?"
Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan.
"What I care about is that you lied to me in the first place!"
Zhao Qiu said to Bai Yan word by word.
"Tell me, did you already know that Ying Zheng planned to destroy Wei and Chu first, and then finally take action against Qi?"
When Zhao Qiu thought about the scene when he was deceived by Bai Yan, he was so angry that his teeth itched.
Fortunately, she was still full of joy at the time, thinking that she could let Bai Yan leave the Qin Kingdom. But now, looking back, she felt that something was wrong no matter how much she thought about it. She suddenly realized that from the beginning, she had fallen into Bai Yan's trap and fallen into Bai Yan's trap. when.
"I was in Yanmen at that time, who knows!"
Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu, who was getting closer and closer, staring straight at him with beautiful eyes, shrugged his shoulders and denied it, and looked away.
Anyway, Yanmen is so far away from Xianyang, and Bai Yan will not admit it even if he is beaten to death. He who was in Yanmen knew from the beginning the order in which Qin would attack the vassal states.
"..."
Zhao Qiu said nothing and looked directly at Bai Yan, as if he wanted to know whether what Bai Yan said was true or false.
"I used to care so much about the general. I was so busy when I learned that he was trapped! Why now when I see the general, his words are all nonsense..."
Master Xu was standing aside, looking at Zhao Qiu's appearance, and couldn't help but mutter. Master Xu didn't like Zhao Qiu in the past, but later when she saw Zhao Qiu caring about Bai Yan, she put aside her grudge and gradually let go of her prejudice against Zhao Qiu. .
But now, seeing Zhao Qiu acting completely different from before after meeting Bai Yan, Master Xu was very puzzled.
Why does Zhao Qiu do this? If you don't like the general, why did you care about the general so much in the past? If you like the general, why do you mess around and make the general unhappy.
In Master Xu's eyes, she really couldn't understand the woman Zhao Qiu. In her eyes, whether the general was important or not.
"Um?"
After hearing Master Xu's words, Bai Yan and Zhao Qiu showed different reactions. Bai Yan suddenly looked at Zhao Qiu in surprise, while Zhao Qiu looked at Master Xu with his eyes widened and his expression changed greatly.
"Who cares about this person! Zhao Qiu is afraid that someone will die in Chudi, and no one will pay back the promises he owes!"
Zhao Qiu retorted to Master Xu, but his breathing was rapid and a hint of panic appeared on that charming and charming face.
In the yard.
Following Zhao Qiu's words, the scene suddenly became quiet. Master Xu looked at Zhao Qiu with some dissatisfaction, while Bai Yan also looked at Zhao Qiu with a strange look on his face.
Only Zhao Qiu looked increasingly uneasy, and the gaze in his beautiful eyes became increasingly evasive.
"What's going on with the Jiuzhou Cauldron?"
Zhao Qiu turned his head, enduring the uneasiness in his heart, and looked at Bai Yan again with his beautiful eyes with small tear marks.
After she learned the news about this matter, she was very confused. She didn't believe that Bai Yan was really a dream from heaven. How could she not know what kind of urine Bai Yan was? She had been with Bai Yan for so long. He looked honest and honest on the surface, but was actually calculating in his heart. There are many, if God can entrust him with dreams, then the sky is blind.
But if it is false, it is not just within Xianyang. After Ying Zheng saw Jiuding, he chose to tell the world.
Countless scholars in the world who didn't believe it went to Xianyang in person, but eventually left without saying a word, acquiescing to the matter of Jiuzhou Ding.
Even those scholars who opposed Qin and cursed Ying Zheng seemed to have to admit after visiting Xianyang City that the Nine Provinces Cauldron was real, Bai Yan was really entrusted by heaven, and Ying Zheng was really the common master of the world.
What exactly is going on?
Thinking of this, Zhao Qiu looked directly at the young man in front of him, Bai Yan, with eyes full of suspicion.
"hungry!"
Bai Yan did not answer Zhao Qiu's words. Under Zhao Qiu's gaze, he suddenly rubbed his stomach and looked very hungry.
Seeing this, Master Xu thought that Bai Yan must be still hungry after coming all the way, and quickly prepared to turn around, but suddenly, a hand suddenly grabbed her arm and prevented her from leaving.
Under Master Xu's confused gaze, Bai Yan shook his head at her, and then turned to look at Zhao Qiu, who was frowning at the side.
Zhao Qiu was confused and looked at Bai Yan, not knowing what he meant. When he realized what he meant, he was immediately furious.
"What a dream..."
Before Zhao Qiu spoke, Bai Yan suddenly frowned with a look of discomfort on his face.
"When people are hungry, it is easy to forget later. Master Xu, go prepare some food and wine!"
Bai Yan said, then turned his head, let go of Master Xu's hand, and asked Master Xu to prepare some food and wine.
Master Xu nodded.
However, this time, before Master Xu left, Zhao Qiu's face was ashen and he looked at Bai Yan with cold eyes.
"I go!"
Zhao Qiu said through gritted teeth, then glanced at Bai Yan angrily, turned around and left, taking the servants waiting in the distance to prepare food and drinks for Bai Yan.
"When all the soldiers come to the house to drink, don't forget to ask your servants to prepare more!"
Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu's leaving back and grinned. When he saw Zhao Qiu stop, Bai Yan quickly closed his mouth. It was not until Zhao Qiu took two breaths that he continued to leave without looking back. Bai Yan then Breathe a sigh of relief.
"It is quite now!"
Bai Yan turned to look at Master Xu and said softly.
Master Xu looked at Zhao Qiu who was leaving, and then looked at Bai Yan with admiration. In the mansion, only the madam could make Zhao Qiu restrain himself, and only the general could cure Zhao Qiu and make Zhao Qiu obey every time. Submissive.
Half an hour later.
Watching Mr. Bao bring in brand new clothes one after another, Bai Yan put on the black silk clothes with patterns sewn on them under Mr. Bao's service. He looked at the sleeves in front of him and kept measuring them, with satisfaction in his beautiful eyes. The Bao clan.
If Bai Yan didn't feel warm in his heart, it would be a lie.
But Bai Yan didn't have time to say too much private words to the Bao family. At this time, Xi came to the room and said that Commander Yang and Ling Gancheng had arrived outside the mansion.
When Bai Yan heard this, he nodded, looked at Bao Shi's eyes, and looked into Bao Shi's eyes.
"I'll go see Mr. Yang and Gan Si first!"
Bai Yan said.
"Well! General, drink less wine!"
The Bao family was still sensible and did not complain at all, and asked Bai Yan to wait and drink less wine. Apparently he already knew that Zhao Qiu was taking his servants and maids to prepare a banquet for the soldiers.
"good!"
Bai Yan looked at Bao Shi and responded softly.
In the yard.
With the arrival of the governor Yang Lao and Gan Si, countless nobles in Shanwu City seemed to have learned about the news and rushed to Bai Yan's mansion to give gifts.
Bai Yan asked his servants to register all the gifts and the names of the givers in bamboo slips, and then left the bamboo slips for people to send back the same value of gifts.
Yang Lao and Gan Si couldn't help laughing when they saw Bai Yan's behavior of accepting love but not accepting gifts.
"Now the Yanmen camp is guarded by General Chai, and the north is always watched by General Ye..."
In the main hall, Mr. Yang knelt down behind the wooden table and said to Bai Yan.
With Yang Yan following Bai Yan, and now destroying Wei and Chu, and having achieved great success, Yang Duanhe, who is still young, can finally feel relieved. Even if one day he falls, the Yang family, except for his brother Yang Xian, and the military There can also be Yang Yan among them, supporting the pillars.
In Yang Duanhe's eyes, the Yang family has been passed down to his generation and has been inherited perfectly. The family has not declined, so there is nothing to worry about.
"Wu Liejun! When will Daidai be destroyed?"
At this time, Gan Si also looked at Bai Yan, raised his hands and asked.
Seeing that Bai Yan has now been named Lord Wu Lie, a great leader of the Qin State, Gan Si's heart is full of passion. Seeing Bai Yan destroy Wei and Po Chu, Gan Si also thinks that he can get another contribution before Dai Di is destroyed. .
For this reason, Gan Si has been waiting for Bai Yan to return to Yanmen.
At this time, Gan Si was very happy that he had a good relationship with Lu Sheng in the past, because his relationship with Lu Mansion Lu Sheng, and now he has an iron-clad relationship with Bai Yan.
If Bai Yan doesn't fail, he, Gan Si, will never fail, and with Bai Yan around, he, Gan Si, will have countless opportunities to move to a higher position in the future.
"The generation will be destroyed soon!"
After Bai Yan talked with Mr. Yang, he heard Gan Si's question and knew Gan Si's thoughts, so he said with a smile.
Looking at Gan Si with an excited face, at this time, the servant came in to report.
When Bai Yan learned that Zhang had arrived, he asked his servants to bring Zhang and all the soldiers into the mansion.
moment.
As Hou came to the main hall with his cavalry soldiers, and the banquet began, laughter and laughter could be heard from the main hall.
As the good wine and food were brought to the wooden tables by the maids, all the cavalry soldiers in the drinking room, while eating big meals, kept their eyes on the female singer, lingering on it.
Looking at those beautiful female musicians with slender waists, the eyes of the soldiers looked like wolves and tigers.
Bai Yan, Yang Lao and Gan Si have been talking about the Yanmen incident and the current situation in the world. Female musicians are not very attractive to the three of them.
After three rounds of drinking.
After all the soldiers had eaten and drank enough, Bai Yan did not rush to order the servants in the mansion to send the soldiers back to the camp. Instead, he took out some money from his arms and asked Zhang to take the soldiers to the restaurant for entertainment. As long as you don't cause trouble or kill people, you can have a good time tonight.
Yang Lao and Gan Si looked at Bai Yan's actions and couldn't help laughing and shaking their heads. However, they were both used to this. Bai Yan didn't even have to say anything to the army sergeants. What's more, these soldiers were all Bai Yan's cronies are loyal to Bai Yan.
However, Master Xu, who had been scouting Bai Yan and was beside Bai Yan, suddenly remembered something.
"General, Miss Xi'er from the restaurant came to Master Xu a few days ago and said that there is a woman named Beiji who has been waiting for the general in Shanwu City!"
Master Xu knelt down beside the wooden table, holding a small wine bottle, looked at Bai Yan and said.
Bai Yan was not surprised when he heard Master Xu say that the Monument Princess was in Shanwu. After all, he had specifically asked the Zhongli clan before and had already gone to Shouchun's trusted generals.
Now that it is confirmed that Monument Princess has arrived at Yanmen Shanwu, Bai Yan is relieved.
"I'll go there tomorrow!"
Bai Yan said softly while thinking.
Think of Hou Sheng! Hou Sheng was the Prime Minister of Qi and the uncle of King Jian of Qi. He was very powerful in Qi and had numerous connections among noble families, as well as countless masters and knights around him.
Bai Yan knew very well that getting rid of Hou Sheng was not only difficult on the surface, but also not that simple secretly.
Perhaps the wisest choice at the time was to ignore her conscience and ignore the monument, and there was no need to acknowledge her.
But for Bai Yan, without the teachings and teachings of his former mentor Yin Bei, let alone surviving on the battlefield, even if he faced assassinations again and again, no matter how high his status was, it would be of no avail.
Thinking of the old teachings of his mentor Yin Bei, Bai Yan really couldn't stand by and watch his mentor's daughter take revenge alone without any power.
"Wu Liejun has something important to do, so go ahead. It's getting late today, so I won't disturb you for now!"
When Mr. Yang saw Bai Yan's eyes, he immediately guessed that the woman must be something serious. Sensing that Bai Yan had something important to do, Mr. Yang stopped disturbing her and stood up to leave.
After all, Bai Yan has returned to Shanwu, and Mr. Yang is the county guard. Although Bai Yan is the commander of Daliang Zao and the Northern Territory, his position is also the lieutenant of Yanmen County. Therefore, in the future in Shanwu City, Mr. Yang and Bai Yan are always in conflict. We can all meet.
Gan Si on the side didn't want to leave so early. After all, Bai Yan finally came back. Gan Si still had a lot to say, and he even wanted to reminisce with Bai Yan, maintain the old relationship, and get close to each other.
But seeing Mr. Yang speaking, Bai Yan seemed to have something important to do, so Gan Si could only stand up and say goodbye to Bai Yan.
In the main hall.
Bai Yan looked at Mr. Yang and Gan Si who were leaving, and after thinking about it, he didn't want to stay. Mr. Yang and Gan Si would spend a lot of time together in the future, and now he really had to settle the monument first.
After returning the gift, Bai Yan stood up, walked the two of them outside the mansion, and watched them leave in a carriage.
"Get the car ready and go to the restaurant!"
Bai Yan looked at the carriage leaving from the street in the distance, then turned around and asked the servants outside the mansion to drive the carriage over.
After the carriage arrived, Bai Yan took Master Xu and got on the carriage and walked towards the restaurant.
As Bai Yan left, inside the county lieutenant's mansion.
Zhao Qiu, who had been waiting, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that all the soldiers, as well as Yang Lao and Gan Si had left. With doubts about the Nine Provinces Cauldron and Chengtian Tuomeng, Zhao Qiu immediately brought his maid to the main hall.
Looking at the messy main hall, where a dozen maids were cleaning up and not seeing Bai Yan, Zhao Qiu frowned and softly called a maid to ask.
"My servant heard that Mr. Wu Lie has gone to the restaurant!"
The maid reported to Zhao Qiu.
"What, a restaurant?"
When she learned that Bai Yan had gone to the restaurant, Zhao Qiu's eyes widened immediately, thinking that she and Bao had been waiting for Bai Yan at the mansion for so long, and now she had even prepared so many drinks and dishes for him, and Bai Yan was still not satisfied after the banquet. He had to go to a restaurant to drink, and the anger in Zhao Qiu's beautiful eyes became deeper and deeper.
However, Zhao Qiu still called a servant and asked carefully to confirm that no nobles were waiting for Bai Yan in the restaurant today, and Bai Yan had not made an appointment with anyone in the restaurant before.
Zhao Qiu's beautiful eyes became more and more angry. She had countless questions that she had been holding in her heart for several months, but Bai Yan actually went to a restaurant to drink as soon as he came back.
Thinking that in Shanwu City, there were rumors everywhere that the woman named Xi'er in the restaurant had a close relationship with Bai Yan, Zhao Qiu didn't believe it before.
"Go to the restaurant!"
Zhao Qiu said coldly and asked the servant to prepare the carriage.
Zhao Qiu wanted to see why Bai Yan went to the restaurant. Was it because the food prepared by Zhao Qiu was difficult to swallow, or the wine she prepared was difficult to swallow, or maybe there was no one in this mansion who could compare to the man named Xi. son's woman.
