Qin Gong

Chapter 180 The Surprising Master Xu, The Xu Family?Ready (4K, [-]-in-[-])

"General, Jiu will leave first!"

Jiu Yuguang glanced at Master Xu, then looked at Bai Yan, cupped his hands and said.

Master Xu just came back to his senses after hearing that Jiu had left, and looked at the young man in front of him with palpitations.

She used to think that in front of Lu Sheng and Lu Lu, this young man was too immature, and sooner or later he would not be able to withstand the temptation and become Lu Sheng and Lu Lu's man.

Only now did she know that from the very beginning, the young man knew the plans of Lu Sheng and Lu Lu and played with them all the time.

Lu Sheng and Lu Lu never imagined in their wildest dreams that the person who hosted the banquet in the restaurant was Bai Yan himself.

"Master Xu, I have met the general!"

Master Xu nodded in salute, with a trace of anxiety in his voice.

Unlike before, at this moment, she no longer dared to underestimate the boy in front of her.

What happened before, plus what happened to Gao Nu a few days ago, all of these were done by the young man in front of her, how could she dare to despise such a person.

"You don't have to be polite, please sit down!"

Bai Yan smiled, said to Master Xu, and stretched out his hand to signal.

Because there was only one mat, and in Lu's mansion before, Master Xu not only accompanied him, but also poured wine for him at the banquet.

So there are not so many constraints right now.

Watching Master Xu obediently step forward, kneel down on the mat beside him, Bai Yan wrote the last comment on the layout, and then took a seal and stamped it.

Master Xu knelt and sat beside him anxiously.

She didn't know how Bai Yan would deal with her after finding out that Yan was Bai Yan.

Just when Master Xu was uneasy.

"Since the girl is by Lu Sheng's side, you should have heard of it. I helped Lu Qi before!"

Bai Yan didn't look at Master Xu, but said softly while putting away the layout.

There is no confrontation between Lu Sheng and him.

He helped Lu Qi before, and he also helped Lu Qi develop in Yingchuan County. This has no direct conflict of interest with Lu Sheng. Perhaps the only thing that affects is some discourse and weight within the Lu clan.

This is not an enmity at all, because when necessary, because of Lu Qi's relationship, he can also be regarded as Lu's network.

According to Lu Qi, internal strife is internal strife, but no matter how the clan members fight internally, their connections are all connections of the Lu family.

"Master Xu knows!"

Master Xu knelt beside Bai Yan, lowered his head slightly, and replied softly.

After Bai Yan tidied up the layout, he turned his head and looked at Master Xu with great interest.

"The girl is a smart girl!"

Bai Yan made it clear: "I don't want Lu Sheng to know that I am Bai Yan!"

Right now, he doesn't want Lu Sheng to know that he is Bai Yan, at least he won't have to care about it until he meets King Qin.

"Don't worry, General, Master Xu doesn't know anything about today's affairs!"

Xu Shimei raised her eyes, and when she saw Bai Yan's eyes, she quickly lowered her head again.

Playing the zither in a restaurant, apart from his talent, Master Xu is naturally not stupid in his conduct.

If the young man in front of her was the same as before, not Bai Yan, she would not dare to disobey Lu Sheng.

But the person in front of him is Bai Yan.It is another matter.

Master Xu knew that as long as Bai Yan revealed her identity, not to mention Lu Qi and Lu Sheng clansmen, they would hand her over to Bai Yan, even the young treasurer, Lu Sheng, would hand her over to Bai Yan for disposal.

Bai Yan felt a lot relieved when he saw Master Xu showing no hesitation.

"Can the girl tell Bai Yan that Lu Sheng is in Yuzhong City now?"

Bai Yan asked softly.

Faced with Bai Yan's question, Master Xu secretly glanced at Bai Yan and thought about it.

"Young shopkeeper and Gansi, in Yuzhong City"

Master Xu opened his mouth and said, without concealing anything, he just told what he knew.

After knowing that the young man was Bai Yan, she knew who to listen to, and she felt that even if she didn't say anything, the young man in front of her might have already guessed the general idea.

Under the shed.

As Master Xu slowly told about Lu Sheng, two people wearing Qin armor entered the wooden shed.

"General!"

Huai put a bowl of herbs on the table, and another soldier handed a roll of bamboo slips to Bai Yan: "General, this is a message from General Hu Jin."

Bai Yan heard that it was Hu Jin's bamboo slip, and immediately opened it after receiving the bamboo slip.

"The general was wounded by a sword?"

Master Xu, who was at the side, saw Bai Yan drinking the medicine, and asked softly.

In a word, Bai Yan looked at Master Xu in surprise, and then looked at the medicine in the bowl.

"You know medicine?"

When Bai Yan said this, he sucked in his nose to make sure he didn't smell anything.

At this time, Bai Yan's gaze towards Master Xu became strange. With just one glance, Master Xu could tell that he was drinking medicine, and it was definitely a sword wound.

This is surprising!
One must know that unlike later generations, most of the herbal medicines are drunk with cold water or brewed in wine, and rarely boiled, so most of them are tasteless, even his bowl, the color change is not obvious.

Could it be that Master Xu also knows medical skills?

If this is the case, they have to think about whether to find an opportunity to bring Master Xu over and bring him with him.

After all, a woman who is good at medicine is a treasure.

"Master Xu's father is a member of the sword-making family. Whenever the sword wound is serious and hurts the tendons, he will take this herbal medicine. Therefore, Master Xu knows some herbal medicines."

Master Xu explained softly, his two slender hands were tightly holding the corners of his clothes.

"The swordsmith family? Xu?"

Bai Yan frowned slightly, then thought of something, turned to look at Master Xu: "Zhao Guo Xu's family?"

In Bai Yan's memory, Yin Bei, his mentor, once said that there are several famous sword-making families in the world, among them, the Xu family of Zhao State is the only family headed by Mrs. Xu.

Unlike her name, Mrs. Xu is a burly man.

And after hearing about this incident, Bai Yan thought for a long time before he vaguely remembered that when Yan Dan planned to assassinate him in the future, he would go to Zhao State with a hundred gold to buy a dagger from Mrs. Xu.

"Aren't you from Qi? That restaurant?"

Bai Yan took the medicine on the table and slowly drank it into his mouth.

Although it has not been boiled, you have to drink the dregs of the medicine, but I have to say that the effect of the medicine is really strong.

While drinking the medicine, Bai Yan waited for Master Xu's answer. In the restaurant, Master Xu played Qizheng before.

"Master Xu's biological father is Xu Tao, Mrs. Xu's youngest son. He met Xu Shi's mother in Qi State. Xu Shi's guzheng was taught by his mother."

When Xu Shi said this, a trace of weakness appeared on his fair and pretty face, and then he looked at Bai Yan: "Mrs. earn a living."

After listening to Master Xu's words, Bai Yan turned to look at Master Xu.

Xu Shi's mother can play guzheng, and Mrs. Xu is particularly concerned about her background. Bai Yan also roughly guessed that it is very likely that Xu Shi's mother is the same as Xu Shi.

"Then you also know medicine?"

Bai Yan asked, since he knows herbal medicine, do he know how to cure diseases?

Under Bai Yan's gaze, Master Xu hesitated for a long time, and finally took a cautious look at Bai Yan.

"No! But because the Xu family forges swords and has a close relationship with doctors, so when my father was alive, Master Xu learned."

Xu Shiwei said reassuringly, lowering his head even lower. "Lots of poison!"

After finishing speaking, Master Xu was very nervous and didn't dare to take a breath.

"poison?"

Bai Yanman looked at Master Xu strangely.

Although Master Xu didn't say it clearly, Master Xu was saying that she was a poison master, inside and outside the words!
Looking at this fair-skinned and beautiful young master Xu, he is actually a poison master.

If there is anything in today's world that is more disgusting than embalmers and thieves, it must be a poison master.

Compared with the smell of embalmers and curses of thieves, poison masters are born to make people fearful and afraid, so they stay away.

Because everyone was afraid, the next moment he fell to the ground in inexplicable pain, and finally died for no reason.

Even Bai Yan is extremely afraid of poison masters.

Bai Yan can guarantee that Lu Sheng must not know that Master Xu is a poisonous person, otherwise he would never dare to get close to her, or even put him in a restaurant.

"The Xu family! Poison!"

Bai Yan murmured.

Thinking of Yandan's assassination of Qin Dynasty, when he contacted Master Xu, Bai Yan vaguely guessed that Yandan went to Xu's house in Zhao State to ask for a dagger, probably not just for a dagger, but for poison.

If you really want to assassinate someone, why do you need the sharpest dagger in the world!
The deadliest poison in the world is more important than a dagger.

Bai Yan turned his head and looked at Master Xu who bowed his head.

"If you can cure my uncle Bai Yu from the poison, I, Bai Yan, promise you one thing!"

Bai Yan knew what Master Xu was thinking.

From the moment he saw the herbs, he couldn't wait to open his mouth, to the time when he took the initiative to talk about the poison, Bai Yan had already guessed Master Xu's purpose.

Bai Yu's poison!

If it weren't for Bai Yu's poison, Master Xu would never have revealed the identity of the poison master, because not only would it be hated by others, but more importantly, once his identity is revealed, if someone is killed by poison in the future, he would be implicated immediately.

In most cases where the murderer cannot be found, the poison master is the murderer regardless of whether he killed someone or not.

This is why for thousands of years, poison masters have basically never appeared before the eyes of the world. Ancient books only record Shennong and Bian Que, but not poison masters.

Master Xu must have asked him to take such a big risk!
"Thank you, General!"

When Master Xu heard Bai Yan's words, he quickly turned his head to look at Bai Yan, his reddish eyes were full of gratitude.

Seeing Master Xu's red eyes, Bai Yan didn't say anything, since he hasn't found Bian Que's disciple right now, it doesn't hurt to let Master Xu try.

Although a poisoner cannot cure diseases, he is likely to be better at detoxifying than a doctor.

Bai Yu can only hope that Master Xu is really capable.

As long as the poison in Bai Yu's body can be removed, no matter what Master Xu wants him to repay, it will not be a problem for him. If the time comes to pay back the favor, he can't afford it, so let Bai Yu figure out a way.

Now that he is leading the army in Shangjun, if Bai Yu can thoroughly understand the poison in his body, even if his veins are damaged, as long as Bai Yu can appear in the court, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

thought here.

Bai Yan set his eyes on the opened bamboo slips.

"Feng Quji!"

Bai Yan looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, and General Hu Jin told him that the new sheriff is Feng Quji!

And in two days, Feng Quji will arrive in Yuzhong City.

Bai Yan slowly put away the bamboo slips and turned to look at Master Xu.

"Go get ready and go to Yuzhong with me. After a while, I will take you to Baishi!"

Just now when Master Xu came, he didn't let those maids and servants come over. Now as long as Master Xu doesn't say anything, those servants can find any reason to fool them.

And Lu Sheng, who knew that he had the Tian Feiyan jade pendant, would never doubt it even if he asked the servant and heard what the servant said.

"Yes, General!"

When Master Xu heard Bai Yan's words, he obediently responded, then got up and left the wooden shed.

Bai Yan picked up the seal and got up slowly.

Outside the shed.

Holding the Qin sword in his hand, Ye looked at Master Xu who was going away, and then at Bai Yan.

"Get ready, change your clothes, and follow me to Yuzhong!"

Bai Yan said to Ye.

"promise!"

Ye nodded, then turned and left.

Hirano.

Bai Yan came to the iron cavalry camp and looked at the new cavalry who had started training in the distance, among them Gui was also inside.

Seeing this, Bai Yan didn't disturb Gui's training.

Seeing Gui Na riding a horse, Bai Yan felt a little gloating for some reason.

Because when he was in Yangcheng, he practiced riding in the same way. During that time, he had to sleep on his stomach, and he had to stand up when he ate.

"General!"

"General!!"

In the big camp.

Accompanied by the sound of jingling, a cavalry soldier with a naked upper body looked at Bai Yan.

"General!"

Yan Mao also looked at Bai Yan at this moment, and bowed his hands in salute.

Bai Yan nodded, and then came to Yan Mao's side.

"How about it?"

Bai Yan looked in front of a gray-haired old man, asked, and then looked at the iron plates in the stove.

"General! Here!"

When the gray-haired old man saw Bai Yan, he quickly cupped his hands, and then brought Bai Yan to the front of the two war horses.

Bai Yan came to the side of the horses, looked at the two burly horses in front of him, then squatted down, and looked at the iron plates on the hooves of the horses.

"General, the soldiers are not very good at blacksmithing, so it is still a little loose, but compared to the hoofs below, the stirrup on the top is very good, not only comfortable, but also makes the soldiers feel as if they are walking on flat ground when riding on horseback!"

Yan Mao said.

While talking, he looked at these two little things with bright eyes. Basically, after installing these two little things, the strength of the soldiers rose sharply visible to the naked eye.

The only difficulty is that not only the iron sheet is needed, but the workmanship in other places is very complicated, and the materials required before and after are very valuable.

Otherwise, Yan Mao once thought that if the entire iron cavalry was assembled, there would still be that iron cavalry in the world that could stop their iron cavalry.

"Ok!"

Bai Yan looked at the horseshoe nails with irregular shapes and didn't find it strange.

To be honest, Bai Yan was very surprised to be able to make the horseshoe nails needed for two war horses. After all, the soldiers are not blacksmiths and have no experience in blacksmithing.

In the state of Qin, the status of blacksmiths was not low. Either they worked in Xianyang, Zhili arsenal order, and made weapons, or they worked in Wancheng, Zhili chief iron officials, and made farm tools.

He had searched for this gray-haired old man for a long time before he found it.

"I want to take these two war horses to Yuzhong!"

Bai Yan said.

When he was destroying Korea, Bai Yan had been in contact with war horses for a long time, and he soon discovered that the hooves of many war horses were not maintained, and they were ridden by soldiers all year round to battle, so the hooves were seriously damaged.

For this reason, Bai Yan immediately thought of horseshoe nails, and always thought of getting out the horseshoe nails after Han was destroyed.

But what I didn't expect was that after the first day, when he came to Shangjun and Gaonu to take up his post, he encountered Mi Qi's conspiracy and fought a fierce battle with the Xiongnu and the Yuezhi.

"Old man, I have been busy during this time, Bai Yan is ashamed, Bai Yan has ordered the soldiers to build a house for the old man, and the old man can just move in!"

Bai Yan turned his head and saluted the gray-haired old man, his words were full of gratitude.

If it wasn't for the old man's teaching, he would never be able to get a sample right now as he has been so busy.

Now that the samples are available, the rest has to be persuaded by General Hu Jin and the new prefect Feng Quji.

After all, the horseshoe nails and stirrups needed for an entire army of iron cavalry require a lot of iron ore, and the consent of the county lieutenant and the county guard must be obtained, and then the county lieutenant nods, and the county guard writes to Xianyang. Then issue an edict to the arsenal order, or the chief iron officer.

In the state of Qin, where the laws of the Qin Dynasty are strict, there are cumbersome steps for other things, not to mention that it involves iron ore. It can be said that there must be a step by step, and it may even be necessary to take the sample to Xianyang for review.

"General, I don't dare, it's my luck to be able to contribute to the general."

Seeing Bai Yan's solemn ceremony, the old man quickly helped Bai Yan up, his words were full of anxiety.

As a commoner of Gaonu, the old man knew that this General Bai in front of him had not hesitated to risk losing his position, not only saved his life, but also saved his family.

Now that he is an old man, he came here just to teach the soldiers to forge iron. Not only did he not need to work hard, but General Bai also built a house for him. How could this allow him to bear such a solemn ceremony from General Bai.

He is just pity.

It would be fine if the eldest son and third son returned to Gao Nu, then they must be allowed to work for the general personally!
"Yan Mao, take the old gentleman to the residence."

Bai Yan turned to Yan Mao and said.

"promise!"

Yan Mao nodded.

Before the old man left, he saluted Bai Yan.

Bai Yan cupped his hands in return.

on the carriage.

Master Xu was sitting in the carriage, waiting quietly, and Lu Sheng's two maids were also sitting in the carriage.

Perhaps thinking of her father, mother, and the scene of her childhood, tears appeared in Master Xu's eyes, and she had forgotten how long she hadn't cried.

Goooooooo~!

Suddenly hearing the sound of horseshoes coming from outside, Master Xu hastily wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, then turned his head and opened the small curtain.

"Let's go!"

It was Bai Yan who was riding a horse who spoke.

But at this time, there were no stirrups on the horse's back, only four horseshoes, which made the servants look at it one after another, feeling a little strange.

　I will make up for what I owe later, readers, I love you, love you! !
