Qin Gong

"Where did you come from? Where is your household registration?"

"Where to go?"

"What's in it?"

Under the gate of Yuzhong City, a Qin official was checking the people entering and leaving the gate.

Because it is one of the three major cities in Shangjun, there is an endless flow of people entering and leaving the city gate every day, especially after the burning of Gaonu City, which is also one of the big cities, all the nobles and rich Jia who lived in Gaonu City before all sent their families, wives and concubines Moved to Yuzhong.

All the Qin officials guarding the city gates knew that these two days could not be sloppy, the new county guard had just taken up his post, and the dignified gentry from other cities came to visit Yuzhong, so there must be no mistakes during this period.

Outside the city gate.

Bai Yan led the horse, while Yuye and the others waited in place.

Speaking of it, Bai Yan was also very surprised, he didn't expect Lu Qi to have come to Yuzhong, and Lu Qi actually thought of ordering his servants to wait for him at the city gate.

Thinking of Lu Qi's chubby appearance, Bai Yan couldn't help laughing in his heart. If he guessed correctly, Lu Qi must know that he accepted Master Xu, and he was in a hurry right now.

Bai Yan was not made to wait long, after a while.

The scorching sun was rising and the cold wind was blowing. Just as Bai Yan was chatting with Ye and others, he saw a chubby young man appearing at the gate of the city, and was stopped by Qin officials.

Naturally, Bai Yan could tell at a glance that that person was Lu Qi.

Watching Qin officials inspect Lu Qi, he let Lu Qi out of the city.

"I'll go over for a while, you wait here!"

Bai Yan said to Ye and the others, and then looked at Master Xu: "Master Xu, come with me!"

Ye and Huai nodded, and watched Master Xu walking with the general, the three of them stood in place, waiting, while continuing to chat, the topic began to change about the restaurant last night.

"Zhong Yan, I've had a hard time looking for you!"

Outside the city gate, Lu Qi was sweating profusely, looking at the young man walking in the distance, he shouted out of breath while trotting.

At this moment, seeing the boy with his own eyes, Lu Qi's hanging heart finally let go.

As long as you see it, everything else is easy to solve.

"Long time no see!"

Bai Yan led Master Xu, walked slowly in front of Lu Qi, stopped in his tracks, and bowed his hands in salute.

Lu Qi also quickly bowed his hand in return.

The last time the two met was in Xianyang City, the night when Lu Qi hosted a banquet in the Lu Mansion.

"that!"

Lu Qi looked at Master Xu out of breath, and the moment he raised his hand, he put it down again, and then looked at Bai Yan.

Bai Yan understood what Lu Qi meant.

"No problem, Master Xu is mine now!"

Bai Yan said.

But after saying this sentence, Bai Yan felt a little emotional unconsciously.

In front of others, say that a woman is his own.

If it was a year ago and she was still in Qiguo Village, not to mention a talented, capable, and good-looking woman like Xu Shi, even ordinary women would not dare to think about it.

No wonder Zhang Yi, Fan Sui, Li Si, Wei Liao, Yao Jia and others all chose Qin among all the countries in the world.

If he took Master Xu back to the village now and said that Master Xu belonged to him, the people in the village would be dumbfounded.

"Master Xu, I have met Lu Junzi!"

Master Xu saluted Lu Qi, if Master Xu had called Lu Qi before, he should be the same as Lu Sheng, a young treasurer. …

But right now she is Bai Yan's person, not a restaurant luthier.

"Ok!"

Lu Qi nodded, glanced at Master Xu, thought for a while, and then turned to Bai Yan: "Excuse me?"

Master Xu lowered her head slightly when she heard this, she knew that in Lu Qi's eyes, she belonged to Lu Sheng.

Bai Yan glanced at Master Xu from the corner of his eye.

"Don't worry! If you want Master Xu, you are already mine. If you want Master Xu, I will only help Lu Sheng with one thing other than Yingchuan County! Do my best."

Bai Yan explained to Lu Qi, and told Lu Qi again that Master Xu belonged to him.

It means that there is no need to avoid Master Xu.

The reason why Bai Yan brought Master Xu here was because he wanted to make Master Xu understand that he believed in her through small actions.

After knowing Master Xu's identity, he dared to drink the tea and eat the food that Master Xu sent, and he would not avoid her when talking about her, nor would he reveal her identity to the outside world. .

This is Bai Yan's small means to win people's hearts. Don't look at these small actions, but to the humble Master Xu, they are more touching than promises. After all, promises can be made by anyone, but every detail, Not everyone walks the talk.

Bai Yan used to be the lowest level of common people, and what he experienced made him understand this better than others.

"Hey, good! Master Xu looks outstanding, fair and beautiful, since you like it, I agree too!"

Lu Qi laughed.

Yan's answer made Lu Qi very surprised, but it also made Lu Qi feel that Yan was sincere to Master Xu.

Lu Qi couldn't help chirping in amazement, wondering what it was that made Yan change so quickly.

thought here.

Lu Qi couldn't help but looked curiously at the fair and beautiful Master Xu who was beside Yan with his head down all the time.

Lu Qi was also a bit pity, originally in his eyes, Zhong Yan's woman should be arranged by him, after all, he had always planned to find a stunning woman for Zhong Yan.

Beside Bai Yan, Master Xu lowered his head at this moment, and kept twisting the straps with his little hands, but when he heard Bai Yan's words, his little hands obviously paused, his head lowered, and then he returned to normal.

"Zhong Yan, Lu Sheng came to Shangjun this time, probably because he wanted to see General Bai! Including the fact that he gave you Master Xu as a gift!"

Lu Qi said softly.

At this time, Lu Qi didn't shy away from Master Xu anymore, after all, Yan would speak, so naturally he wouldn't say anything.

"Don't worry! When it comes to meeting General Bai, I can assure you that you will meet General Bai sooner than Lu Sheng!"

Bai Yan said.

In a word, Lu Qi was overjoyed. In Lu Qi's eyes, Zhong Yan was equivalent to making a promise to him.

"With your words, I'm relieved. This time I'm also here for this matter. In a day or two, I want to bring some congratulatory gifts and go to Gao Nu to meet General Bai!"

Lu Qi said with a smile.

As for Lu Qi's words, Bai Yan couldn't help remembering that when he was in Xianyang City last time, he learned that Lu Qi actually ran back to Qi State to find his relatives!

"Gift? What kind of gift?"

Bai Yan asked, a little worried that Lu Qi would do some tricks again.

"Hehe, I'm dissatisfied with you. Actually, I don't know. I left Luoyang in a hurry, so I asked my servants to prepare for me. But don't worry, it must be worth a lot!"

Lu Qi was a little embarrassed. …

Right now, Lu Qi doesn't know what the servants will prepare for him.

The only certainty is that it must be worth a lot, because this is the only thing he asked for before leaving Luoyang.

"By the way, since you are in Yuzhong, why don't you go to visit the Sheriff's Mansion with your uncle?"

Bai Yan looked at Lu Qi, this was what he was most curious about.

It stands to reason that Lu Qi didn't go to the Sheriff's Mansion when the gentry went to visit the Sheriff's Mansion today, which really surprised him.

After all, in the Sheriff's Mansion right now, not to mention Mr. Feng and other officials, there are countless people from the gentry, and it is a good opportunity to make contacts.

"I'm not worried about you here!"

When Lu Qi heard Bai Yan's words, he wept and pulled his face.

Seeing this, Bai Yan couldn't help but smile. After all, he never thought that he held such an important position in Lu Qi's heart.

Seeing that Lu Qi cared about him so much, Bai Yan felt heartwarming. He didn't gamble wrongly, and he didn't see the wrong person.

But when Bai Yan was about to speak.

There was a sudden noise from the city gate, Lu Qi and Bai Yan all looked over.

Under the eyes of the two, several cavalrymen and several Qin officials hurried out of the city, as if there was something in a hurry.

Bai Yan and Lu Qi glanced at it, but didn't care, thinking that the cavalry were ordered to leave Yuzhong.

Just when the two were about to look away.

Suddenly found.

Among those cavalrymen, one cavalryman glanced at this side, then quickly turned his head and said something, and then those cavalrymen and Qin officials all rushed towards here.

Goooooooo~!

"Ok?"

Accompanied by the sound of horseshoes, Lu Qi looked at the cavalry and Qin officials who came before him in the blink of an eye, a little flustered.

what's the situation?
Don't look at the many officials Lu Qi has met, but that's all because he followed his tribe, and now he came to Yuzhong, Shangjun, and he was unfamiliar with the place.

When several cavalrymen and Qin officials came suddenly, Lu Qi couldn't help feeling nervous, did something happen?
After all, he knew even with his eyes closed that the Qin officials and the cavalry would never come here when they were full.

Under Lu Qi's somewhat bewildered gaze, several cavalry reined in their horses ten steps away, dismounted and trotted towards him.

Looking at this scene, Lu Qi's Adam's apple twitched, because he could tell that these people's gazes were always on Zhong Yan beside him.

Obviously coming for Zhong Yan.

But this is all right, why did these people suddenly come to Zhong Yan?

Thinking of this, Lu Qi was a little worried.

Then Lu Qi saw that several cavalrymen came to his side, stopped on the left and right, and all bowed their hands in the direction of Zhong Yan.

"General! We are here under the order of General Hu Jin to escort the Xianyang edict!"

The leading cavalry spoke first.

Seeing this, Lu Qi was a little confused.

General?

There are no generals here!
Only him, Zhong Yan, and Master Xu!
Why these cavalry, would
Suddenly, Lu Qi thought of something, the expression on his chubby mouth gradually froze, and he turned his head to look at Yan in an instant.

"it is good!"

Under Lu Qi's astonished gaze, Zhong Yan, who was standing beside Master Xu, nodded.

Lu Qi's mind was buzzing.

How could Zhong Yan be a general?How could the Xianyang edict be given to Zhongyan?Seeing what is going on, logically, if you want to give, you will also give...

Accompanied by the thoughts in his mind, Lu Qi's chubby face and eyes widened for the first time, full of disbelief.

"impossible!"

Thinking of that possibility, Lu Qi instinctively denied it immediately, because no one knew better than him.

This young man is from Qi!There is also Changgu's jade pendant, and she also wrote letters to Feiyan.

How could Zhongyan be Bai Yan, the guard of Gaonu City!
Absolutely impossible, Lu Qi dared to risk his life
At this time, Lu Qi suddenly heard Qin Li's voice in his ear.

"General Bai! The king issued an edict ordering Bai Yan, the fifth doctor, to rush to Xianyang and enter the palace at a certain date."

Lu Qi stayed where he was, and with these words, he watched the young man clap his hands in a promise, and watched Qin officials walk by, handing the edict to the young man.

At this moment, even if he couldn't believe it, Lu Qi didn't know that Zhong Yan was Bai Yan!

Zhong Yan is Bai Yan?
Zhong Yan is Bai Yan?
Zhong Yan turned out to be Bai Yan! ! !
Lu Qi was horrified, his brain was buzzing, and he felt dizzy in a trance.

"Please everyone!"

Bai Yan accepted the edict without any surprises.

"Your Majesty's orders, why are you so tired! General Bai, let us take our leave first!"

Several Qin officials hurriedly cupped their hands and said with a smile.

After Bai Yan cupped his hands in return, several Qin officials took two steps back, turned and left.

"General Bai, I will take my leave!"

Several cavalry also said to Bai Yan, then turned and left.

They just brought Qin officials to chase Bai Yan, now that they have caught up, they will naturally go back and return.

outside the city.

Accompanied by the cavalry and Qin officials leaving on horseback, Bai Yan read the edict and handed it to Master Xu, then looked at Lu Qi with a dull expression, and couldn't help laughing.

Bai Yan thought about the scene where Lu Qi knew his identity many times, but he never thought that it would be so hasty and unprepared.

In Bai Yan's expectation, he should tell Lu Qi personally.

who knows.This edict will come to Yuzhong just at this time.

No, counting the time, the decree did arrive in Yuzhong right now. What really surprised him was that Lu Qi came to Yuzhong just at this time, and instead of going to the county guard's mansion, he came to the city gate to find he.

"You! You! You! You are."

Lu Qi looked at Bai Yan tremblingly, at this moment, Lu Qi still couldn't make up his mind.

How could Zhong Yan be Bai Yan?
If Zhongyan was Bai Yan, why would there be Changgu Yupei, and why would he write a letter to Feiyan who is far away in Qi State.

However, what the cavalrymen and Qin officials said just now cannot be false.

It wasn't until this time that Lu Qi suddenly thought why in Yingchuan County, Bai Yan, a disciple of the Bai family who had never met before, would help him without even making a request.

No wonder.

All of this can be explained, even Master Xu can explain it.

Bai Yan looked at Lu Qi's appearance, a slight smile appeared on his face, he didn't explain too much, he knew he had to give Lu Qi time to recover.

Bai Yan was not worried about Lu Qi knowing about him.

Not to mention his belief in Lu Qi's character, more importantly, the edict of Xianyang City has been delivered, and after he goes to Xianyang, this matter will also be reported to the current King Qin. …

This was the decision Bai Yan made after thinking about it when Hu Jin told him that he might go to Xianyang.

Bai Yan knew that his family members far away in Linzi, Qi State, may not know that his name is Bai Yan now, and that the Bai clan in Pingyang City may not know that he is not an old man, but Qin Wang Yingzheng must not be the last to know the ins and outs.

If you think about it, you know that once you hesitate, there will be completely two attitudes towards Yingzheng in the future.

One is active and the other is passive.

Between the two, Bai Yan chose the former without hesitation.

Although Bai Yan has never met Ying Zheng, but knowing what Ying Zheng will do in the future and not killing the hero, Bai Yan has a hunch that for him a showdown will do more good than harm!
The cold wind blew past, bringing Lu Qi back to his senses.

"Lu Qi, meet General Bai!"

Lu Qi came back to his senses and saluted Bai Yan, but his expression was still confused.

Bai Yan couldn't help laughing.

"Just call me Zhong Yan, if you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say it!"

Bai Yan said, there was a hint of intimacy in his words.

When Lu Qi heard Bai Yan's words, he regained his senses in an instant, and nodded quickly after he realized the reaction.

"I would like to, of course I would!"

Lu Qi was not stupid, he couldn't hear Bai Yan's words, and after recovering from the shock, ecstasy followed.

Zhong Yan is Bai Yan!

Lu Qi, who knew about this, saw Zhong Yan, no, Bai Yan was as close to him as before.

Thinking of this, Lu Qi finally no longer worried that Lu Sheng would poach his backer.

My backer, my best friend!
"For the matter of Yingchuan, Lu Qi thank you Zhongyan!"

Although Lu Qi's mood was hard to calm down, he still raised his hands seriously, took a step back, and saluted Bai Yan again.

Last time, when he was in Xianyang, Lu Qi thanked him.

At that time Lu Qi didn't know that Zhong Yan in front of him was Bai Yan, but now that he knew it, he would naturally thank him again.

"You don't need to be polite, I can't go to Xianyang today, let's go, go back and wait for me to finish writing the bamboo slips, and we will go to the restaurant for a drink!"

Bai Yan clasped his hands and said, looking at the sky, he definitely won't be able to leave today, after all, it will take more than half a month to go to Xianyang, and now he has to write a letter back to Gaonu and explain the matter to Chai before he can leave.

Hearing this, Lu Qi laughed and nodded quickly. His mind is full of questions now, and there are too many things he wants to ask.

"Let's go! Let's go have a drink!"
