Qin Gong

Chapter 188 Chapter [-]: Huh?The bamboo slips were peeped?Then Liu Yu won't take it seriously!
Inside the restaurant.

Because of what Bai Yan said yesterday, Ye, Huai, and Peck, the three of them were already in the restaurant and belonged to the wealthy guests, so today they met Bai Yan who wanted to write bamboo slips, and under Bai Yan's signal, the three of them asked for another one from the next door. Room.

When opening a private room, the three of them do not need money. Lu Qi, who has made a lot of money in Yingchuan County, enthusiastically took out five strings of money from his sleeve pocket and handed them to the waiter in the restaurant. The three served comfortably.

Lu Qi's string of money is [-] yuan, [-] yuan, serving three people, let alone the three of them, even the waiter in the restaurant, who was surprised by Lu Qi's magnanimity.

Inside the room.

After Zaiye and others left, Lu Qi sat at the table and waited patiently.

It was at this time that Lu Qi finally calmed himself down from his trance.

Zhong Yan is Bai Yan!
Even now, Lu Qi couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable about this matter.

But when he turned his head and looked at Zhong Yan beside Master Xu in front of the distant window, Lu Qi knew that this was all true!
"Hey!"

As Lu Qi thought about it, the corner of his mouth was full of a happy smile. He was glad that he went to Yangcheng and saw Zhong Yan on that street.

by the window.

Master Xu sat beside Bai Yan, watching Bai Yan write the bamboo slips.

Next, after spending more than two hours, Bai Yan just finished writing two volumes of bamboo slips, in which Gao Nu's affairs were explained in detail.

After going to Xianyang, if Chai wanted to successfully take over Gao Nu's important affairs, these two scrolls of bamboo slips were very important, otherwise Chai would not know where to start with many things.

"Put it away!"

Bai Yan handed the bamboo slips to Master Xu.

"it is good!"

Master Xu knelt beside Bai Yan, and took the bamboo slips with his slender hands.

Seeing this scene, Lu Qi hurriedly got up and went outside, and asked the waiter in the restaurant to serve the food and drinks that had been prepared
After a woman came into the room with good wine and food and placed them on two wooden tables, Lu Qi took out some money again and rewarded these women.

Looking at the strings of Qin Banqian, Lu Qi didn't feel any distress in his eyes. For him now, with the benefits of Yingchuan, these money are not worth mentioning at all.

Compared with the sword coins of the Qi State, which are strings of knife coins, Lu Qi prefers the round coins of the Three Jin and Qin Kingdoms.

Among them, Zhao's coins are the most excellent, and Qin's "Qin Banliang" is the most convenient.

Before that, there were Yidao, Jianhua, Wenxin, Chang'an and other square holes and round coins in the state of Qin, but they were only circulated in some areas, and they were far less widely used than Qin Banliang coins. In the territory of Qin State, only Qin half money is circulated.

This greatly facilitates their merchants, who hold half of Qin's money and do things of great benefit.

"Zhong Yan, please!"

Standing in front of the wooden table, Lu Qi saw Bai Yan walking to the opposite wooden table, and quickly stretched out his hand to signal Bai Yan to take a seat.

"Please!"

Naturally, Bai Yan was not polite, and returned the salute with his backhand, and then sat down with Lu Qi.

Among the wine shops, restaurants are also divided into three, six, and nine grades.

A table for several people of the lower class, a table for two people of the middle class, and a table for one person of the upper class. Among them, the wine, food, and private room can most highlight the gap.

Just like the private room right now, not only is there a table for one person, the table is filled with delicious meat and wine, even the floor is clean, and people can walk freely without wearing shoes.

This is the same standard as when Lu Sheng invited Bai Yan back in Xianyang.

Compared with other places, in this private room, you don't need to worry about dirty clothes after sitting down. If you get drunk after drinking, you can lie down and fall asleep, or you can fall asleep with a head resting on a woman like Bai Yan did back then. .

In front of the window, Master Xu, who was dressed in black and blue Qin clothes, put the bamboo slips in a package, then got up and came to Bai Yan's side, knelt down and poured wine for Bai Yan.

No matter how well Bai Yan treats her, she always remembers her identity.

Transactions belong to transactions, and kindness belongs to kindness.

After Bai Yan understood her identity, she didn't mind her identity, and it was her luck to give her shelter. Master Xu is not an arrogant daughter of a noble family. She has experienced many things, and she understands what it means to repay favors and what it means to forget one's roots.

Accompanied by the familiar aroma, Bai Yan looked at Master Xu who was pouring wine for him, and did not refuse.

When he was in the Xianyang mansion, Bai Yan already understood after the incident with the Bao family that sometimes it's okay to treat people well, but there are some things that should go with the flow.

"Eat something too!"

After seeing Master Xu pour the wine, Bai Yan said softly.

From morning till now, and it will be sunset in another hour, Master Xu hasn't eaten anything all day, so besides pouring wine, Master Xu also needs to eat something.

Master Xu played Guzheng in Lu's restaurant before, and he should often see the women who accompany him to eat the food on the table.

"Ok!"

Master Xu glanced at Bai Yan, saw Bai Yan's eyes, quickly lowered his head, and responded softly.

Lu Qi sat at the table, poured wine for himself, and then looked at Bai Yan and Master Xu at the opposite table with a smile.

"Zhong Yan, it's hard for you to hide it from me!"

Lu Qi smiled at Bai Yan after seeing Master Xu pour the wine.

The reason why he didn't find a woman to accompany him was not that Lu Qi didn't like beautiful women, but on the contrary, men are lustful by nature.

Although he is about the same age as Zhong Yan, Lu Qi has had two young women since his success in Yingchuan. Of course, these two women will not be Lu Qi's wife, but concubines, just like The most famous relationship is that of Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji.

Now again, the main reason why he didn't ask the woman to pour the wine was because he was worried that the matter would spread.

"At that time, I had no achievements and no names, and I was somewhat arrogant about reporting my name."

Bai Yan looked at Lu Qi and said with a light smile.

Although the words were somewhat modest, Bai Yan's words were also insinuating to tell Lu Qi that there was a reason for not saying it before, and it was inconvenient for him to tell others that he was Bai Yan.

And Lu Qi obviously heard Bai Yan's meaning, so he didn't care at all.

In Lu Qi's mind, although Bai Yan didn't say anything at the beginning, secretly, it was the key to helping him support Yingchuan's connections.

This kindness is greater than everything.

"This is the first cup, Lu Qijing Zhongyan, who fought first in Yangcheng, killed five doctors, and killed twenty-one Han soldiers! Become famous in one fell swoop!"

Lu Qi said to Bai Yan, and then took the lead in drinking it.

When he first met Bai Yan, he happened to hear that Bai Yan was the first to attack the city. At that time, he never knew that the Zhong Yan he had met was Bai Yan.

Knowing today, the wine for celebration will naturally have to be made up.

Master Xu listened to Lu Qi's words, and her beautiful eyes looked at Bai Yan beside her in surprise. When she was in Xianyang before, she heard that after General Bai Yu was injured by a lie, among the iron cavalry, Bai's disciple Bai Yan led, and repeatedly made military exploits.

She had heard about the first ascending incident that Lu Qi said, but when she saw it, many people questioned its authenticity.

Unexpectedly, the rumors of beheading the fifth doctor Han alone and twenty-one Han soldiers were actually true!

Master Xu ate carefully, and when he saw Bai Yan drank all the wine, he took the jug and poured fine wine again.

Three rounds of wine.

Accompanying Lu Qi and Bai Yan to drink a glass of wine.

"Zhong Yan? Your biological mother."

Lu Qi drank until his face was a little rosy, and he also used the alcohol to ask out the doubts in his heart.

But when he spoke, Lu Qi also paid attention, he didn't say everything, he didn't even ask his biological father, but his biological mother.

After all, Bai Yan didn't let Master Xu leave, so he didn't know whether he should speak up or not, whether he could say a lot of things.

Picking up the jug and drinking the fine wine, Lu Qi looked at Bai Yan opposite, full of emotion.

After knowing that Zhong Yan was Bai Yan, Lu Qi had too many questions in his mind, for example, is Zhong Yan from Qi?Or Qin people?

If it was from Qin, why would Bai Yan hold the Changgu jade pendant?

If he was from Qi, why Zhongyan was surnamed Bai, and why he came to Qin to make meritorious service instead of serving in his mother country, not to mention according to the bamboo slips, Zhongyan dotes on Feiyan very much, so there is no reason why he is not in Qi.

"This matter is complicated, if you go to Qi country next time, you can ask Feiyan!"

Bai Yan heard Lu Qi's words, knew what Lu Qi wanted to ask, and said with a smile.

There are many, many things involved in this, and it is impossible for Bai Yan to tell all of them here. If Lu Qi wants to know, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will go to Qi State to ask Tian Feiyan, and then he will know everything that happened in Qi State.

"Okay! I'll ask Feiyan in the future!"

Bai Yan's words made Lu Qi laugh.

Of course Lu Qi could see that some things were inconvenient to say right now.

Fortunately, according to Zhong Yan's words, as long as he goes to Qi State in the future, he can get answers from Tian Feiyan for all doubts.

The big deal is to find a time next time and go to Qi country again.

"By the way, Zhong Yan, my uncle's family has already cooperated with me!"

Lu Qi looked at Bai Yan and thought about his uncle, so he told about the book he had published before.

After finishing speaking, Lu Qi did not hide what Lu Lu did in Xianyang before. In Lu Qi's eyes, Bai Yan must be told about this matter, otherwise Bai Yan will mind if he conceals it when he finds out about it in the future.

"Has the bamboo slip been peeped?"

Bai Yan was a little surprised, but after learning what had happened, he didn't blame Lu Qi.

After all, it was Lu Lu's behavior, and Lu Qi didn't know it.

"This time, the people of the clan are not good at judging the officials. Don't worry, Zhong Yan, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future! And my father also entrusted me to hold a banquet to make amends."

Lu Qi said apologetically, and assured Bai Yan again and again that such things would never happen again in the future.

Then Lu Qi also told Bai Yan how Father Lu would handle this matter.

wooden table.

puff~
Just as he was about to pick up the wine glass and slowly drink it down, Lu Qi said something suddenly, which almost made Bai Yan spit out the wine, and quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

"what happened?"

Bai Yan's actions made Lu Qi confused.

Even Master Xu, who was beside Bai Yan, looked at Bai Yan curiously, his mouth full of meat was bulging.

"What did you just say?"

Bai Yan put down his wine glass and almost choked on it.

Lu Qi frowned slightly, with a puzzled expression on his face, but he still repeated what he had just said.

"The man's name is Liu Yu, and he is from Langya of Qi State. He has been sent back to Qi State. If his teacher was not Xu Fu, my father would not have invited him to the mansion as a guest. Now because of this matter, Liu Yu I have lost my father's trust."

Lu Qi said.

Thinking of something later, Lu Qi looked at Bai Yan, and finally made up his mind.

"Although Liu Yu is Xu Fu's disciple, if Zhong Yan is worried about leaking out, I can arrange someone."

Lu Qi didn't finish his sentence, but he looked determined.

But let alone Bai Yan, Master Xu understood what Lu Qi said.

"No need!"

Bai Yan said, and couldn't help laughing, knowing that Lu Qi must have misunderstood him, and explained: "I'm curious about Xu Fu?"

Bai Yan looked at Lu Qi. Back then in Qi State, his status meant that he didn't know much about Qi State's affairs.

Now that Lu Qi suddenly said the word Xu Fu, Bai Yan suddenly remembered this character.

After the unification of the Qin State, and until the end of Qin II, if the most sensational event was something, it must be that Xu Fu was ordered by the king to lead thousands of boys and girls to the sea to visit the fairy island.

Bai Yan has always had an impression of this matter in his heart.

"Xu Fu? I know something about this!"

When Lu Qi saw Bai Yan, he was only curious about Xu Fu, and he was relieved. After all, it would be best not to kill Liu Yu, and he didn't want to offend Xu Fu.

The reason why he made up his mind just now is also because of Zhong Yan.

Since Zhong Yan didn't kill him, he naturally wouldn't get angry and provoke that Xu Fu.

"Xu Fu, a native of Langya in the state of Qi, is rumored to be a man of great learning and talent, proficient in medical skills, astronomy, and going to sea. In Langya, he has a high reputation and a wide network of contacts. It is said that Xu Fu is also Mr. Guiguzi's closed disciple."

Lu Qi told Bai Yan what he knew about Xu Fu one by one.

"So powerful?"

Bai Yan was thoughtful when he heard Lu Qi's words.

According to Lu Qi's words, the previous impression of Xu Fu in his heart has been completely overturned now. According to Lu Qi's words, then Xu Fu is a capable person. No wonder in the future, although he has no official position, he is deeply favored and has a high status.

But the sum of these names is enough for the king of a country to pay attention to it.

Think of something.

Bai Yan suddenly turned to look at Master Xu beside him. Speaking of which, Master Xu was also surnamed Xu.

Master Xu, who was eating, also felt Bai Yan's gaze, and slowly turned his head to look at Bai Yan.

"General, Master Xu met Xu Fu many times when he was a child!"

Seeing Bai Yan's gaze, Master Xu said softly.

At this time, Master Xu finally chose to speak out, without any scruples about Lu Qi's presence, or rather, the scene outside the city gate had already convinced her to trust Bai Yan beside her.

What's more, after revealing the identity of the poison master herself, she was already willing to hand over her future and life to Bai Yan.

Now that Bai Yan asked her, she naturally wouldn't hide it.

"Ok?"

There was a surprised voice in the private room, and the source of this voice was not Bai Yan, but Lu Qi.

At this moment, Lu Qi looked at Master Xu with an expression of surprise. Naturally, Lu Qi was no stranger to Master Xu. That's why he didn't understand why Master Xu knew Xu Fu.

Logically speaking, how could a daughter of a singer know Xu Fu who is quite famous in Langya?

Although there are not as many people with the surname of Xu as Lu, there are not fewer.

Not to mention that Xu Fu's identity is compared with Xu Shi's, one is the sky and the other is the earth.

Under Lu Qi's curious eyes.

Master Xu spoke slowly.

"Xu Fu's father, named Xu Meng, is a well-known physician and doctor. He is proficient in medicinal herbs. Xu Fu inherited his father's physician since he was a child. Compared with Xu Meng, Xu Fu is more proficient in witchcraft and divination."

Master Xu told all that he knew about Xu Fu from his memory.

Bai Yan looked pensive. Although Master Xu didn't say anything, it was obvious that Qi and Zhao were neighbors, and for some reason, Xu Fu and Mrs. Xu's contact was very ordinary.

Moreover, according to Master Xu's words, that Xu Fu, like other alchemists, is constantly looking for strange herbs in the world, in an attempt to live forever.

"Did you hear that Xu Fu said about Penglai?"

Bai Yan looked at Master Xu and asked softly.

Bai Yan's words made Lu Qi, who was at the opposite table looking at Master Xu with a look of astonishment, come back to his senses.

Penglai?

If Lu Qi remembered correctly, these two words were written in the bamboo slips written by Bai Yan to Tian Feiyan. It was also at that time that he heard this strange place name for the first time.

"No! I've never heard Xu Fu say that."

Master Xu thought about it, and finally shook his head.

After the words were finished, Master Xu saw Bai Yan turn his head, and suddenly covered his face with one hand, with a wry smile on his face.

"General, what's the matter?"

Master Xu looked at Bai Yan cautiously, his eyes were full of curiosity.

"fine!"

Bai Yan shook his head.

Bai Yan thought that when he was in Xianyang before, in the stories he wrote to Tian Feiyan, because he wanted Tian Feiyan to understand, most of the backgrounds in it were Penglai.

And the stories in those volumes mentioned longevity.

Then Liu Yu has read the bamboo slips, and when he returns to Qi, he will not take those stories seriously!
