Qin Gong

In Xianyang City.

Bai Yan led the horse, and when he returned to his mansion, he took off his title and official uniform.

After putting back on his common clothes, Bai Yan came to Xiaoyuan.

When he came to the study room, he saw that Mrs. Bao was counting the gifts that would be given to Feng Nian in a few days, and looked at the rolls of good cloth, many of which were two or three rolls of silk, and then saw another On the huge plate, bunches of Qin Banqian tied with red silk were piled up.

Seeing all this, Bai Yan looked at Bao Shi gratefully.

It's not the first time Bai Yan has seen the wedding ceremony, but those are the weddings in his hometown, Water Village, Qi State, when he was a child.

At that time, when men in the village married wives, they were cousins, and they only gave some fish or chicken.

If that relative is more generous and gives a few dozen dollars, then the marriage will have a lot of face, and the relative who gave the gift will be talked about by the villagers for several years, and everyone will talk about that relative, how generous it is!

Therefore, if Bai Yan and Feng Nian were ordinary people in Linzi, Qi State, then Bai Yan would understand a little bit.

But now.

After all, Ying Kan is a clan of the Qin royal family. As Rui Wei said, his status and status are not something that ordinary people can see at will.

"I heard from Lu Sheng that you are under the command of General Zuo Geng Bai Yan?"

Bai Yan said.

Bai Yan took out some money from his bosom and handed it to his cronies, so that all the cronies would have a good meal later, and then asked some women to accompany them in the restaurant.

"You, you, don't go up with the gentleman!"

After reading the contents of the bamboo slips, Bai Yan looked at Bao Shi with a smile.

"This is a gift for Feng Nian this time, see if there is anything missing, General!"

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Mrs. Bao couldn't help showing a smile on her pretty face. Although she was a young woman, she looked charming with a hint of youthfulness.

That's why he told the young man right now that he doesn't need to be so polite when he comes next time. The restaurant belongs to him, Lu Sheng, so why let Yan, who is a guest, pay for the banquet.

So it's better to just ask how many women like her are in this restaurant.

"After the Yanmen incident, compared to before, I, Lu Sheng, no longer seek to get acquainted with that Bai Yan. After all, Bai Yan has made many enemies, and getting acquainted now is not worth the loss! But you, if you have the opportunity, you should be like the servant Jiang Jing As said, stay away from Bai Yancai! Don't be implicated."

"Yan, next time you come, just report my name directly, why do you have to pay, I don't like such a status!"

After telling the woman beside him to leave, Lu Sheng looked at Jiang Jing.

Bai Yan raised his head and looked at Lu Sheng.

On the other hand, Jiang Jing, Rui Wei, and Zhu Zhe didn't know whether it was due to their status as servants or their age, but looking at Bai Yan, they returned the gift a little casually.

Bao Shi, who was dressed in Qin clothes, glanced at Bai Yan with his eyes, and then looked sideways at the prepared gifts around him.

While speaking, Lu Sheng felt that his face was particularly radiant. Originally, he was worried about whether he could invite Jiang Jing, the servant, but he never thought that Jiang Jing not only agreed to him, but also brought two colleagues to come together.

Bai Yan said to Bao Shi, just now this saber was kept at home on purpose.

The voice of the girl next to him sounded, Bai Yan turned his head and watched the girl timidly beside him, pouring wine for himself.

After finishing speaking, the woman turned her head and looked at the six women behind her.

Bai Yan nodded.

Lu Sheng said with a smile and cupped his hands.

"It's cold in the middle of the night, the general needs to bring some warm clothes!"

Lu Sheng is Bai Yan's best choice!

Second, let alone Qin, even the whole world, now he is the only one who will give such a big gift to Feng Nian, so this gift also needs to be appropriate.

"Since Lu Sheng asked us to come here and hope that we can help you, then I will say it bluntly and give you a piece of advice. After the Yanmen incident, now the Zuo Geng general Bai Yan has made countless enemies. If you can stay away as much as possible, then do your best." keep away!"

Wu Huai, headed by his confidants, took the strings of money from Bai Yan with a smile on his face.

said here.

If there is another killing ring, everything will change, even Ying Zheng will not allow him to do it again.

When he was young, because of the memory in his mind, Bai Yan always felt that even if he didn't bring up the sword to lead the army in the future, he could still be a virtuous minister in the court, like the sages of the later generations, and set his heart for the world and plead for the people. .

Bai Yan said.

In today's world, let alone Qin.

After Jiang Jing simply returned the salute to Bai Yan, he turned to look at Lu Sheng.

Looking at the young Yan, Lu Sheng's eyes were full of intimacy, even though at this time the disciple of the Bai family, Zuo Shu Chang Bai Yan made countless enemies, and countless people wanted Bai Yan to die.

"General!!"

When Bao Shi came over with the clothes, Bai Yan took the clothes, and when he saw Bao Shi brought his saber.

Being able to get away and come to the banquet today is completely giving him Lu Sheng face.

As for him, he was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Ying Kan in the palace, and was instructed by Mr. Ying Kan.

"If it wasn't for your invitation today, Lu Sheng, Rui Wei, Zhu Zhe, I, and I would not have come here. After all, the king is about to go to Handan. As servants, we are very busy!"

When Jiang Jing heard Lu Sheng's words, he waved his hands with a smile, and then pointed his hands together in the direction of Xianyang.

Lu Sheng asked Yan to sit down, and then ordered several women to wait on Jiang Jing, Rui Wei, and Zhu Zhe.

"Gentleman, drink!"

At this moment.

In contrast, the boy in civilian clothes was more like a knight-errant and diner who advocated swordsmanship and came to restaurants with a sword to brag about his martial arts.

Virtuous and virtuous, gentle and courteous, he is fully confident in his advances and retreats. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a good wife.

Therefore, Bai Yan really didn't know how to arrange it for a while, not to mention that he still had the king's order on his shoulders, so he couldn't get away at all.

When Lu Sheng said this, he was also emotional.

"Yan, I have seen Minister Jiang Jing, Minister Rui, and Minister Zhu Zhe!"

"Ok!"

"hey-hey!"

Jiang Jing said.

The woman who originally thought Bai Yan was a diner was taken aback for a moment. After receiving a bunch of money, she looked at the heavy Qin Banqian in her hand, and smiled unnaturally on her pretty face.

Bai Yan returned to his original position and just sat down when he heard the servant named Rui Wei behind the wooden table opposite, talking about the troubles he encountered in the palace today, and even at the end, he alarmed Mr. Ying Kan.

While Bao Shi was speaking, he handed the bamboo slips to Bai Yan.

Mo about half an hour later.

Lu Sheng said with a smile.

After stepping off the carriage.

"Like you, how many women are there who just came to this restaurant?"

"I'll have a lot of guests later, and they're already tired of seeing those women!"

When the groom outside the car said that he had arrived at the restaurant, Bai Yan regained his thoughts.

Bai Yan nodded.

Seeing this, Bai Yan had a strange expression on his face, but he looked at the fine wine on the wooden table calmly.

After letting the girl hand over the few Qin Ban coins, she began to order wine and food.

I don't know if it's because he drank too much, or because in the eyes of the three people, Bai Yan is just a young cavalry general who wants to curry favor with them.

"Please!"

Jiang Jing and Rui Wei said.

When Bai Yan saw the woman, he took out a string of money from his pocket and handed it to the woman.

What's more, not only the three of them, but the whole of Xianyang, and even the whole of Qin, all those who are well-informed will think and talk like this.

"It's not necessary to walk around. After all, we are too busy right now, and I have to serve my king to Handan in the past. I'm afraid there will be no chance to meet him at all!"

Lu Sheng, who had a better drinking capacity than Jiang Jing and the other three, put away his smile at this moment and turned to look at Yan.

Bai Yan had already put Qin Jian on his waist at this time, looking at the steady sword, he walked towards the restaurant.

There is always entertainment.

First, Feng Nian is now his general.

Thinking room.

More than 20 gold cakes, this is the road paved by Lu Sheng for Yan, and Lu Sheng is also betting that Yan will be promoted step by step in the future, and sooner or later he will become a city captain or captain.

Bai Yan nodded.

Inside the room.

When they saw Bai Yan walking into the restaurant, and seeing Bai Yan's young appearance with a Qin sword on his waist, almost everyone subconsciously thought that this must be another swordsman with a sword, or that nobleman. Diners under the door.

Bai Yan had been drinking in a low-key manner, when he suddenly heard a question, and then saw a servant named Zhu Zhe looking at him and asking.

Wu Huai said to the other soldiers in disguise.

Bao Shi looked at Bai Yan.

"If there is a chance, next time I go back to Xianyang, we will come here again!"

Although the voices are the same, the feeling in the words is quite different from when they talked with Bai Yan just now.

How could Lu Sheng, who is a descendant of the Lu family, not know.

"Okay, please, gentleman upstairs!"

In the private room, other women have already entered with good wine.

Rui Wei asked softly.

Therefore, when speaking, there are not so many scruples.

"I'll bring out the clothes later and put them in the carriage first."

Bai Yan is no longer the withdrawn boy who sat at the head of the village and was ridiculed by others.

This kind of charming woman is like an older sister.

"Now that Zuo Geng Baiyan, hehehe!"

Although wrapped in cloth, the sharp-eyed Rui Wei can still see the exquisite carvings through the gaps, and the exposed black made Rui Wei realize...

Accompanied by you and me.

Bai Yan glanced gratefully at Bao Shi, nodded slightly, then watched Bao Shi turn around, and walked out of the study.

Brute said.

"Yan, this time I specially invited Jiang Jing, Rui Wei, and Zhu Zhe to introduce you to me. In the future, you must be more diligent and walk around with the three servants!"

"There is another person who happened to meet outside Xianyang City earlier, and agreed to talk about it today."

Because it was not yet sunset, the women in the restaurant were all inside the restaurant, and did not stand outside the door to greet guests.

In Handan, Yanmen, in the past, he killed the nobles and dignitaries involved in the trafficking of girls in the entire Yanmen, and even led troops northward, threatening the Xiongnu to hand over the Central Plains women.

This scene.

behind the woman.

"The Yanmen incident is really too cruel. Such an act of anger and resentment, not to mention the whole world, even in the court hall, has made many enemies. They are really unwise people."

Although there are some nobles who like to use swords to show their status, but without exception, they all wear silk clothes.

None of the other soldiers had the intention to reject Bai Yan. After all, people have emotions and desires, and if they stood in the corridor of the restaurant with their swords like this, they would definitely attract too much attention. Why not listen to the general and call a few Women accompany in the private room to kill time.

Looking at the well-prepared dowry in the study, Bai Yan didn't know how many times he felt that there was a woman like Bao at home, so he didn't need to worry about going out.

Bai Yan, who was sitting alone in the private room of the restaurant, soon heard the sound of conversation coming from outside.

"How many gentlemen?"

During this smile, even Bai Yan couldn't help but slightly look aside instead of looking directly.

In Xianyang City.

Then Lu Sheng spoke slowly under the watchful eyes of Bai Yan, Jiang Jing, Rui Wei, and Zhu Zhe.

"Ma'am, I won't take this sword with me!"

talking room.

Inside the room.

Jiang Jing said, and then looked at Yan pretending to be contemplative: "If there is a chance in the future, we will let you leave Bai Yan's command!"

"Naturally, Lu Sheng knows that Minister Jiang Jing is busy, but there is always a chance to arrive in Handan. Hearing that Handan is so beautiful, Lu Sheng has already prepared some thoughts for the three adults. Please don't refuse."

Ben was about to get up and get off the carriage, but when he saw the warm clothes prepared by Bao Shi, he looked at his saber on the neat clothes.

"When I was a child, I looked at the bright moon, and I could pick it up with my hand. Now I am seven feet tall, and the sky is too high!"

In this way, Lu Sheng, like Lu Buwei back then, has the ability to recognize pearls with discerning eyes, and is praised by friends and others.

"Yan, do you know where these women come from?"

All three of them were already heartbroken.

"The general is not at home, I still take it with me!"

Watching the girl leave, she went down to let the restaurant make arrangements.

The girl has never experienced the battlefield, let alone those conspiracies, so under Bai Yan's setup, she quickly revealed that there are 23 more people like her.

No matter where Yan works at that time, Yan will definitely repay him by virtue of his support.

The private room is very quiet.

"Gentleman, please go upstairs!"

Bai Yan couldn't help murmuring.

However, although the Bao family didn't prepare gold, but knowing the relationship between Bai Yan and Feng Nian, she intentionally gave away a large pile of cloth scrolls in addition to a mountain of Qin Banqian.

Bai Yan looked at the look in Bao Shi's beautiful eyes, and at this moment he knew that since he was not having dinner at home, he would only be able to feel at ease if he brought his saber.

"Gentleman, for a girl like me who just came to the restaurant, there are 23 more people!"

Hearing this, Lu Sheng quickly apologized, and under Bai Yan's puzzled gaze, he gave Bai Yan a 'reassuring' look.

Apart from the annual salary, they have no source of income at all. After a year, not only do they have no money left, but even in the last two or three months, they are still very poor, and they have to ask their hometown for money.

Wait a while.

In the words, not only Jiang Jing himself who spoke, but also Rui Wei and Zhu Zhe who were drinking with the woman in their arms, all showed complacent expressions on their flushed faces.

After that, they watched quietly, and the three servants talked about the various matters that they were busy in the palace because of their trip today.

Lu Sheng was on the side, and after listening to Jiang Jing's words, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Lu Sheng said.

When Lu Sheng heard Jiang Jing's words, the smile on his face became even bigger.

Seeing Bai Yan entering the study, Xi and several maids hurriedly complied.

Lu Sheng turned sideways to introduce the three men to Bai Yan one by one.

This is more stealthy and safest than other methods.

I don't know how long it took, but I drank a lot of wine.

What's more, there are wives and concubines at home, plus gifts to other dignitaries.

Lu Sheng watched Jiang Jing go to sit in the top seat, he didn't care, but turned his head and took the time to say to Yan.

It's not as high-profile as gold, but it's not much worse than gold. Even if it gets out, it won't do anything to Bai Yan, and it will give Feng Nian more face.

Just now downstairs, Lu Sheng has already learned about the young man paying for the private room.

Lu Sheng watched Jiang Jing put the cloth back on the gold cake, and agreed with a smile.

The moment after answering, Bai Yan saw his servant Zhu Zhe shaking his head.

The Bai family is a famous goalkeeper. Fame, prestige, and making a sound are doomed to Bai Bo and others, who care about face and reputation in many things, and may even have disputes with Bai Yan on many things. no.

However, when Bai Yan was thinking about it, although Bao Shi was a little disappointed, he also nodded.

Rui Wei's tone was very excited, and his passionate expression seemed to want everyone to know about it.

Because Lu Sheng also knew very well that Jiang Jing's words were not false at all. Everyone knew that King Qin Yingzheng was going to leave Xianyang for Handan.

Looking at the young girl waiting beside the wooden table, Bai Yan was too lazy to ask where the girl came from, because he was downstairs just now, and Bai Yan could tell that even if he asked, the girl in front of him might not dare to answer.

Under Lu Sheng's signal, the woman came to Jiang Jing with a wooden plate and placed it on Jiang Jing's table.

The private room is on the third floor.

Jiang Jing spoke, and then made a gesture of invitation to Rui Wei and Zhu Zhe.

Bao Shi asked softly.

The gentry in other parts of Zhao land were not afraid of him, so Bai Yan knew it well. After all, those gentry hid it well, even Yang Duan and the general were helpless, so how could those gentry be afraid of him.

After finishing speaking, Bai Yan looked at Bao Shi with some guilt. Speaking of which, after returning to Xianyang, Bai Yan had not formally had dinner with Bao Shi.

Under the leadership of a woman, Bai Yan separated from Wu Huai and came to a private room alone.

"23 people!"

"it is good!"

Stretched out a hand to take the saber from Baoshi's hand.

It is the entire vast territory of Qin State, countless cities, countless nobles, officials and generals, how many people can see the king.

However, when he really grew up, he carried his sword and entered the battlefield, and when he came back from the battlefield, he wore armor and a Juebian.

Lu Sheng said.

"I also invite Minister Jiang Jing, Minister Rui, and Minister Zhu Zhe not to refuse!"

Seeing this, Bai Yan nodded and raised his hands.

Jiang Jing looked at the golden cake in front of him, then exchanged glances with Rui Wei and Zhu Zhe.

There may come a day when these relationships will be needed.

These are the three servants!
And behind these three servants, there are fathers who are officials in various counties of Qin State.

As long as you don't drink, take turns paying attention to where the general is going.

Among the dowry gifts sent this time, there was not a single piece of gold, and the currency was only Qin Banqian. This was to prevent that if the gift of gold was given out, it would be bad for Bai Yan.

Accompanied by the sunset.

Daidi, Handan, Gaotang, Wusui and other places are still like the original Yanmen.

But now that Lu Qi is in Yingchuan, he still can't get away. After digesting Yingchuan County, the people around Lu Qi who he can trust are no longer enough to occupy several cities in Zhaodi.

Jiang Jing didn't say anything dead, after putting down his hands.

Just like right now, even if Bai Yan knew about the looting and selling, he was unable to take care of it now, and his own strength did not allow him to offend more gentry.

Bai Yan thought for a while, and finally reached out to pick up the saber.

No more, no less, it won't be discussed by others, and it can give enough face to the woman's family to see, even if it spreads, it won't be underestimated.

However, the final result, except Yanmen.

"Yes Yes!"

In a word, Bai Yan, who didn't want to wear a sword, nodded his head.

"Fortunately, Madam is here!"

The woman came to Lu Sheng's side. Lu Sheng smiled and lifted the cloth covering the wooden plate, and then more than 20 gold cakes appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Besides, in Handan, Bai Yan also needs help.

"That is that is!"

The two women who were pointed at quickly said to Bai Yan, one of them was leading the way, turning around step by step.

Several other men with swords nodded their heads when they heard this.

After Bao Shi saw Bai Yan, he got up and took the bamboo slips, and came to Bai Yan.

Then the three of them walked past Bai Yan while talking, and each went to sit at a wooden table.

Seeing Lu Sheng's surprised face, Bai Yan was not surprised.

And as servants, although they seldom see the king, but this trip to Handan, they can actually accompany the king's carriage.

"Because many other nobles are not afraid of Bai Yan at all!"

Wait ten or eight years in the future, maybe Yan can become a local captain.

"Go eat first, I will go with the general to ask for a private room!"

"General!"

Among them, Jiang Jing looked at Lu Sheng after talking about it, and said with emotion.

"Your name is Yan, right! Can you take a look at it with his sword?"

Seeing Lu Sheng, Bai Yan didn't want to go with his sword.

But what Lu Sheng and Bai Yan didn't expect was that the drunk Rui Wei suddenly looked at Bai Yan.

That Qin Jian must be a good sword!
So Rui Wei kept silent all the time, and now after promising to take care of the boy in the future, Rui Wei spoke up.

Looking at Lu Sheng.

Zhu Zhe said.

And he is not destined to be a sage after all.

The look Jiang Jing gave Bai Yan was completely like a gift.

"Yan, let me introduce you, this is Minister Jiang Jing! This is Minister Rui! This is Minister Zhu Zhe!"

Lu Sheng said.

Bai Yan cupped his hands and said.

As Lu Sheng spoke slowly, Bai Yan finally nodded.

Today's intention is to come here specially, if Lu Sheng has someone he trusts who can manage the shop, he can send him to Yanmen and other places in Zhaodi, and he will definitely arrange to take care of him at that time!
But with Lu Sheng's words right now, Bai Yan could only give up this plan first.

The woman looked at Bai Yan and said, the kindness in the words was even more than before.

"Fortunately, Lu Sheng didn't come into contact with that Bai Yan before!"

Unlike Wu Yun and Zhao Qiu, Bai Yan really couldn't be cold and hard-hearted.

As the Zuo Geng of the Qin State, Bai Yan really didn't know how to give the New Year a proper seal based on his current status.

After all, as small as the court, as big as this world, no matter how powerful a person is, he will always encounter things that need help in the future. Having more contacts is always a good thing.

But when he really wanted to do something for the people, Bai Yan realized that the reason why a sage is a sage is because he has done something that no one in the world would dare to do.

Then remove Bai Ping, Bai Bo and others from the Bai family.

Bai Yan left the mansion after Bao's statement to pay attention to safety.

Maybe it's someone from the past. The Bao family knows that Bai Yan is very busy now after he was promoted, whether it's personal connections or banquets with colleagues, these Bai Yans need to be present.

When Lu Sheng saw Bai Yan, he smiled.

Six girls ranging from fifteen to sixteen years old and up to eighteen or nineteen years old also followed behind.

This suitability is in line with the identity and the relationship between the two.

Seeing this, Bai Yan looked at these women, frowned slightly, but followed them calmly.

As servants, no matter Jiang Jing, Rui Wei, or Zhu Zhe, they are all short of money, especially short of money. Although their salaries are very high, in fact, they have to meet friends and entertain friends. Asking for money, maintaining reputation and holding banquets are all expenses.

Now look at these golden cakes.

"indeed so!"

The woman ordered.

Then I saw Lu Sheng, who was dressed in silk, brought three men to the elegant room.

"Does the general still have an appointment today?"

"Forget it! After all, we met once!"

A 23-year-old woman saw Bai Yan coming, although she didn't think Bai Yan was a rich and powerful person, but based on the principle that the visitor is a guest and must be able to pay, she still came forward with a smile. present.

"Yes!"

The three of them had already understood Lu Sheng's purpose from the beginning, but they didn't expect that Lu Sheng's actions would be so generous.

But this has nothing to do with Yan. Compared with Bai Yan, Yan, who has been promoted to a noble for his meritorious service, in Lu Sheng's eyes, just now is a connection that is not dangerous but has a bright future.

Bai Yan owed Lu Sheng a favor for Master Xu's affairs, and Bai Yan would not break his promise when he promised Lu Sheng back then.

After a few breaths, under Bai Yan's gaze, the girl spoke timidly.

Lu Sheng turned his head to look at Bai Yan, sighed melancholy, and smiled: "These women were all women from Zhao State before. Although Bai Yan handled the looting and selling in Yanmen, there are countless gentry in other places. Do you know why you are looting and selling?"

On the street, Bai Yan was riding in a carriage, accompanied by the noise outside the carriage, feeling the slow movement of the carriage, Bai Yan was thinking about Lu Sheng in his mind.

Cloth rolls can also be exchanged for goods, and the silk cloth among them is even more valuable.

After all, he was in Xianyang City at this time, and he had his cronies by his side, so there was no need to worry about his safety.

Then, in the eyes of everyone, after waiting for a while, they saw that the woman who had just left had returned, holding a wooden plate in her hand.

Bai Yan looked at the girl's disappearing back, full of complications.

Bai Yan listened to Zhu Zhe's words, and seeing Jiang Jing and Rui Wei, they also laughed together and nodded.

"Please!"

Bai Yan heard Rui Wei's words, looked at the 21-year-old Rui Wei, and didn't speak.

Bai Yan slowly got up from behind the wooden table.

"Open two adjacent private rooms!"

Bai Yan asked, while speaking, he took out five Qin and a half coins from his pocket and put them on the table.

Jiang Jing said.

After entering the private room, he came to a seat and saw several seats with wooden tables inside. Bai Yan didn't rush to order wine, but looked at the timid woman in front of him.

In fact, from the very beginning, Rui Wei has been coveting the sword that the young man named Yan wears around his waist.

However, to Bai Yan's surprise, after he finished speaking, Bao Shi, who had always listened to his words in the past, did not put down his sword at this moment.

Bai Yan watched Lu Sheng introduce himself, so he raised his hands, bowing to the three of them very humbly and politely.

In the end, both fame and fortune!
"This!"

Therefore, upon hearing Jiang Jing's words, Lu Sheng was very moved. After all, the departure is imminent, and Jiang Jing, who is the servant in front of the car, must have a lot of things to do.

Said it was a view.

But in fact, Rui Wei already has a vague desire to possess.

Inside the room.

Hearing Rui Wei's words, Lu Sheng looked sideways.

Looking at Yan who was drinking and was a little silent today, Lu Sheng only noticed at this time that Yan came with a sword this time.
