Qin Gong

Chapter 21 The old man who can't be driven away.

"Zou Xing is dead?"

In Tian's mansion, Tian Cong, Tian Feiyan's eldest brother, heard the servant's report, looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, and was a little surprised by the face in his early twenties.

"My lord, there are more than ten people in the group, and none of them survived!"

The servant nodded.

At this moment, Tian Cong, who was wearing the official uniform of Qi State, put away the bamboo slips, and under the wide cuff, he quietly clenched a fist with one hand.

Zou Xing was a chess piece that his father planned to place in Qin, and now that Zou Xing was killed, his father's previous plan had undoubtedly been disrupted.

Who is so courageous to kill people on the official road.

"You go down first!"

Tian Cong said.

Hearing this, the servant turned around and retreated after saluting.

In the study, Tian Cong's face gradually became gloomy, with some doubts.

Who on earth has such a big but, dare to come out and make mistakes at this time.

Thinking of his father planning for Zou Xing for a long time before, he never expected that Zou Xing would be killed at this most critical moment.

Tian Cong turned his head, looked out the window, sighed, and then left the study.

After a while.

In the Liangnei of Tian Mansion, the servant maid of Tian Mansion saw Tian Cong and hurriedly gave way.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!!"

At this moment, the servants and maids all lowered their heads.

Tian Cong walked slowly past the servants.

In the gazebo, Tian Feiyan and Tian's father were enjoying the shade.

"Father!"

Tian Cong glanced at Yan'er, a smile appeared in that gloomy gaze, and then saluted his father.

"What's the matter?"

Father Tian held a scroll of bamboo slips in the middle of the court, looked at his eldest son, and obviously felt that the eldest son was looking for him for something.

Tian Cong didn't answer in a hurry, but glanced at Yan'er, hesitating for a moment.

"Father, Zou Xing was killed on the way!"

Tian Cong said, and then handed over the bamboo slips in his hand to his father.

As the elder brother, he didn't want his younger sister to hear this, after all, his younger sister was still young.But thinking of what the younger sister said two days ago, he finally decided to let the younger sister try to know something.

So right now, he didn't hide anything, and directly told about Zou Xing's killing.

Father Tian couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard Tian Cong's words. After taking the bamboo slip, he slowly opened it.

"Father, do you want to go and order someone to investigate?"

Tian Cong said that he knew very well that now that Zou Xing died, all the plans of his father in the past would be nullified.

He also wanted to know who would kill Zou Xing at this time.

"No need."

Father Tian looked at the bamboo slips without looking up, and said in a calm tone.

At this moment, in Tian's father's mind, he already roughly guessed who did it.If the eldest son is allowed to track down, the dog may jump over the wall if he is in a hurry.

Although it is a pity, Zou Xing is dead.There is no need to go to war for a dead person and make the court of Qi State panic.

More importantly, the King of Qi has never been in favor of his previous plan, worried about offending Qin.

"Send the bamboo slips to Tian Xian's mansion."

Father Tian handed the bamboo slips to the servant beside him, and gave instructions.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, the servants took the bamboo slips and turned to leave the gazebo.

"Tian Xian?"

Tian Cong murmured, looking at his father.

He knew that his father's words must have a deep meaning, and it is very likely that his father already knew that Tian Xian was the one who did it.

Thinking of this, Tian Cong finally understood why his father told him not to pursue it any further.

This matter was not visible at all, if it was really Tian Xian, then his father really couldn't do anything to Tian Xian because of Zou Xing's death.

After all, after Tian's dedication, there is still a prime minister who will win.

"Miss!"

At this time, a servant came to little Lolita.

Seeing this, little loli nodded, then got up.

"Father, elder brother, Yan'er is leaving first!"

Little Lolita said to Tian's father and Tian Cong, and then ran out of the pavilion.

Looking at Tian Feiyan's back and watching this scene, Father Tian and Tian Cong couldn't help but shook their heads with a smile.

"Father, why did Yan'er suddenly want to study medicine these days, and recently invited many famous doctors to the mansion, do you want to ask the servants around Yan'er?"

Tian Cong said to Father Tian with a smile.

During this period of time, the little girl Yan'er seemed to be possessed by a demon, not to mention the original medical skills in the mansion, even the medical skills hidden in the academy, all of which were brought back to the mansion by Yan'er.

This is really weird.

"No need, as a father, I don't want Yan'er to hold grudges anymore! Besides, studying medicine is not a bad thing, as long as Yan'er likes it."

Father Tian glanced at Tian Cong angrily.Although she was very curious, she thought that before Yan'er brought a servant to him and questioned him, why did Shui Yan suddenly leave to seek refuge with a distant relative, and whether it had something to do with him.

Only then did Father Tian realize that he had always underestimated Yan'er's intelligence.

After all, the servant told them about Yan'er behind Yan'er's back, and only he and Tian Cong knew about it.

It was obvious that Yan'er was careful, after the man left, she noticed something strange about the servant, so she thought of him.

Now that Yan'er has finally calmed down a bit, if he is studying medicine now, and his father has to investigate secretly behind his back, then Yan'er will really hate him as a father.

"Wooden hairpin! Come and see the exquisite wooden hairpin!"

"There are only two worm skins! The best worm skins!!"

On the streets in a city, there is a lot of traffic and pedestrians come and go.With the hawkers on both sides of the street yelling hard, many pedestrians would stop and wait and see when they passed by.

And in the crowd.

A young man with a parcel on his back, with an unlovely look on his face.

And behind him, followed by an old man with white hair.

"I'm about to sink a boat and cross the turbid river! Don't follow me!"

Those who spoke were on their way to Shuiyan in Qin State.

Looking at the bad old man in front of him, Shui Yan looked helpless.

After explaining the matter that day, Zou Xing's dead soul dissipated on the third day.

I thought I could go on my way with peace of mind, but I didn't expect to meet another strange old man not long after.

"Listen to the old man's advice, Qin is like a tiger, fame and fortune, but nothing but smoke, Qin is definitely not a safe place, so don't go!"

The old man, dressed in shabby clothes, followed Shui Yan and kept persuading him.

The old man's words made passers-by who heard it on the street couldn't help but look over.

Sensing the suspicious eyes all around looking at this side, the old man looked indifferent, but Shui Yan had already collapsed a bit at this moment, looking at the old man with white hair who seemed to be over sixty years old.

"You go! Please!"

Shui Yan looked at the old man.

This is already the fifth day, and for five whole days, the old man has been following him, nagging him not to go to Qin.

He was very curious, if this is the old man from that family, has anyone taken it away?
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have picked up the flagon for you. Let me go!"

Shui Yan was crying, looking a little hopeless.

At this moment, Shui Yan looked at the old man who was like a dog skin plaster and could not be driven away, and felt extremely regretful in his heart.

When I was on my way that day, I saw the old man on the side of the road, and the old man's jug fell into the water.Shui Yan saw that the old man was old, and he couldn't go to the village or store, so out of kindness, he helped the old man into the water to pick it up.

I never thought about it, but picked up a trouble!
The old man is following him now, and he can't even drive him away. He still talks about accepting him as a disciple, and says that all his life's knowledge is hidden in Quyang, and he hopes to go to Quyang with him.

Tell the truth.

If it weren't for the Warring States Period.

Shui Yan doubts that the old man in front of him who looks over [-] years old is a human trafficker.

"The tax is heavy, the punishment is endless, and the people kill the thieves; it is called the subjugation of the country. Don't go to Qin!"

The old man still said to Shui Yan in a dazed manner.

Don't say it yet.

What the old man said was indeed quite reasonable.

Even Shui Yan, who had nothing to love, couldn't help but glance at the old man, obviously he didn't expect the old man to say such a few words, which were quite "superior demeanor".

However, no matter how great the reason is, no matter how tall the expert is, in Shui Yan's heart, it is no bigger than that he wants to go to Qin.

Seeing that the old man didn't seem to have the slightest intention of going back, Shui Yan had no choice but to turn around and walk towards Zhuohe.

The old man looked at Shui Yan with a wrinkled face, shook his head, and quietly followed.

After a while.

When Shui Yan came to the Zhuohe River, he asked the boatman when he would cross the river. Knowing that it would take another hour, he turned around and found a place to unload the package.

"There are no chariots and horses yet, so why bother!"

The old man watched Shuiyan take off the package, took out the food, and asked again.

He couldn't figure out why such a good boy had to go to Qin!
The two countries of Qin and Zhao often have wars, this is in chaos, wouldn't it be good to be his disciple honestly?
Besides, Shuiyan doesn't have a carriage, and only relies on a pair of feet.If you don't walk for three to five months, you can't reach Qin State at all, so why bother to suffer this crime!
Shui Yan still didn't want to pay attention to the old man, and didn't say a word.Put the food in the package that his grandmother prepared for his journey, break off a little and soak it in a bowl of water, wait until it becomes softer, then take off the cloth wrapped in the package, cut a small piece with a sword and put it in the bowl middle.

After doing all this, Shui Yan finally sighed, and finally took the soaked food and gave it to the old man.

"Don't follow me after eating!"

Shui Yan glanced at the old man angrily.

Although it is very annoying, very annoying to the old man in front of me.But looking at the old man's somewhat messy white hair, he still couldn't see that he was starving while eating.

"Eat well, don't talk to me! I'm deaf, I don't listen!"

Seeing that the old man seemed to want to nag again after taking it, Shui Yan hurriedly spoke first.

After calming down the old man, he turned his head and prepared a meal for himself.

The old man looked at the food in his hands, and then at the young man who was handling the package, with the corners of his mouth raised, he smiled softly.

"After five days of eating, I still don't feel bored. If the old man guessed correctly, the brewing process of the contents in the bowl must be extremely cumbersome."

After taking a sip, the old man gave a word of admiration, then shook the simple food in his hand, and started to eat again.

As for Shui Yan, who was very annoying to the old man, this time for the first time, he didn't roll his eyes at the old man, and there was a smug look on his face.

It was made by his grandmother.

Of course delicious!

"You kid, what are you writing, can you show me!"

After eating, the old man saw that Shui Yan was carving words on the bamboo slips with a carving knife again, and couldn't help being curious.

However, Shui Yan saw the old man approaching, did not speak, but raised his hand, flashed the carving knife in his hand in front of the old man, and looked at him straight in the eyes.

see.

The old man had no choice but to retreat.

But looking at the bamboo slips in the young man's hands, the old man felt itchy in his heart, and wanted to see what the young man he had in mind was writing every day.

The situation in the world?Or the book of war comprehension?Or is it a remonstrance policy after going to Qin?
The more the old man thought about it, the more itchy his heart became, but no matter how close these five days were, the young man just refused to show him the contents of the bamboo slips.

Even in the middle of the night, the boy rested his head on a package, and didn't give him a chance to steal it.

No matter how he asked, the boy didn't say a word to him.

"Excuse me, may I ask if there is a Lu's shop in this city?"

Just when the old man looked unwilling, Shui Yan suddenly saw a trader passing by by chance, so he got up and asked.
