Qin Gong

inside the yard.

Although no one knew what the warning meant in the young man's words, but looking at Tian Sui's appearance, everyone knew that the young man was indeed Duke Jin's disciple.

At this moment.Originally, no one doubted Bai Yan's identity, and now even more so, no one would doubt his origin.

Although the Xu family is very mysterious, Doctor Qi Tian Jin is famous all over the world.

"I didn't expect Mr. Jin to have a disciple alive!"

Chen Xu, Huan Chu and the others said with emotion.

Zhu Xun also nodded in full agreement. At the beginning, Tian Jin, the doctor of Qi, was an upright person, but he was framed tragically, and was ordered to be executed by King Qi. It was embarrassing.

Everyone in the world thought that what Duke Jin had learned was peerless, but they didn't expect to see Duke Jin's disciple right now.

"Master, I have heard for a long time what Xu Junzi did in Handan in the past. I am lucky to see you today!"

Zhu Xun stepped forward and saluted Bai Yan.

If a child of the Xu family with a deep background is enough for Zhu Xun to get acquainted with, then a Xu Zixiao who is a teacher of Duke Jin is enough for Zhu Xun to take seriously.

At the side, Jing Qi, Jing Shu, Dong Guogao and Huan Chu also greeted Bai Yan enthusiastically.

They are all sons of noble families.

Now knowing that the young man is Duke Jin's beloved disciple, the young man's status in everyone's hearts suddenly becomes much higher.

After all, everyone in the world pays attention to an identity, background, mentorship, status, and talent.

This order is almost the criterion by which most people judge a person, and based on everyone's understanding, the Xu family who can get [-] grains and grains, and the young age, can represent the Xu family to Handan, which is obviously favored by the elders of the tribe. Pay attention to it, and learn from Duke Jin.

After all these observations, everyone has a general impression of Xu Zixiao in their hearts.

inside the yard.

Bai Yan returned the salute to everyone one by one.

After the ceremony, under the leadership of Zhu Xun, Bai Yan followed a group of people to the main hall to meet other nobles.

Inside the main hall.

In addition to Zhu Xun's grandfather, there are several other members of the gentry.

Under Zhu Xun's introduction, when the master and those men learned that Xu Zixiao was a closed-door disciple of Duke Jin, they were also full of surprises.

The old master was born in a rich family, and at a very old age, he naturally went to Qi State and visited Tian Jin. Now that he knows that the young man is Jin Gong's beloved disciple, he talks about some past events out of nostalgia.

period.

The boss didn't say anything wrong on purpose, but Bai Yan knelt behind the wooden table, listened, and added a few words to what he remembered.

After some conversation, the master nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing this, everyone in the main hall knew that the elder had confirmed that the young man was indeed Duke Jin's disciple.

After Bai Yan and a group of young gentry children were seated, the master stroked his long beard.

"In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed!"

The master sighed, showing nostalgia on his face, and then looked at Bai Yan's pale cheeks.

"The poison in your body has not been removed?"

The old master asked with concern.

At this time, everyone in the lobby also looked at Bai Yan.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Bai Yan bowed his hands to the old master, said nothing, showed helplessness, and shook his head slightly.

This scene made several men from other noble families feel sorry for the boy.

Everyone knows that.

It has been so long, and the poison in Xu Zixiao's body still remains. This is obviously not an ordinary poison, and the mysterious Xu can't be removed.

When everyone in the main hall feels that there is no hope of detoxification.

Suddenly.

Entering the main hall, Tian Sui, who had been quiet all the time, knelt behind the wooden table with a pensive expression on his face.

"After assassinating Ying Zheng, Tian Sui took Zi Xiao to a place, maybe Tian Sui can remove the poison from Zi Xiao's body!"

Tian Sui said suddenly.

When Chen Xu heard Tian Sui's words, he turned his head in surprise and looked at his friend.

Then Chen Xu thought about it, but he could understand Tian Sui's actions.

Although Mrs. Xu is an elder whom Yan Dan respects very much and is very important, but Xu Zixiao is also a disciple of Lord Jin, so it is normal for Tian Sui to help Xu Zixiao.

With Tian Sui's voice fell.

In the lobby, everyone who was sitting looked at Tian Sui suspiciously.

Even Huan Chu, Dong Guogao, Jing Qi and the others looked at Tian Sui in surprise.

"Brother Tian Sui, do you have a solution?"

Shiyan asked.

And beside the corpse weir, Wu Gao, who was kneeling and sitting, got up full of excitement.

"If Gentleman Tian knows where the antidote is, please tell him bluntly, Wu Gao is willing to set off immediately to get the antidote!"

Wu Gao said.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Zixiao who was kneeling opposite him with joy.

In Wu Gao's mind, the biggest worry and worry was the poison in Xu Zixiao's body. If he could get rid of the poison in Xu Zixiao's body, he would be willing to pay any price.

"Ok?"

Bai Yan was also very surprised when he heard Tian Sui's words, but when he saw Wu Gaona's eyes looking at him, he was full of excitement and joy.

this moment.

Bai Yan felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

Speaking of it, if it wasn't for the confrontation of identities, if it wasn't for being a Qin general, and Wu Gao was determined to oppose Qin.

Maybe he and Wu Gao will become old friends who can talk about everything.

Putting aside his standpoint, Bai Yan also knows that there are very few people in the world who can confide in him and care about him like Wu Gao, and if there is one less person, it will be completely irreparable.

"This is the secret poison!"

Bai Yan didn't look at Wu Gao, but turned to look at Tian Sui and reminded him.

What is the secret system is to remove the person who made the poison, and it is difficult for others to get the antidote.

And when he saw that Tian Sui didn't answer.

Bai Yan was a little surprised, but quickly realized that Tian Sui probably knew that Mrs. Xu was the one who assassinated him!
Looking at Tian Sui's appearance, it was not only Bai Yan who had this idea, but even the other nobles in the main hall, and even Wu Gao who was excited just now, had already reacted, and vaguely guessed in his heart that Tian Sui It seems that he knows who it is, and sent someone to assassinate him in Handan.

"Tian Junzi! If Tian Junzi knows who assassinated Zixiao back then, please speak up, Wu Gao will be grateful!"

Wu Gao cupped his hands at Tian Sui again, but this time, there was no smile on Wu Gao's face, and there was already a hint of anger in his eyes looking at Tian Sui.

Tian Sui always knew who assassinated Xu Zixiao back then, but he was unwilling to reveal it, which was in Wu Gao's eyes.

Tian Sui and the man who assassinated Zi Xiao have been quietly classified into the same category.

That is the enemy!
"Brother Tian Sui! If you know, please speak up!"

Shi Yan was sitting on the wooden table next to Wu Gao. He couldn't tell at the moment that his good friend Wu Gao had murderous intentions, and he quickly looked at Tian Sui.

Right now, Shiyan also doesn't understand why Tian Sui knew who assassinated Xu Zixiao and didn't say it before.

Back then, Xu Zixiao had saved Wu Gao and Wu Yun's life. If Xu Zixiao hadn't been there, Wu Gao and Wu Yun would have died in Zhaodi long ago.

And when Wu Yun was humiliated by Mr. Wei Jia, Xu Zixiao was the only one who stood up and did not hesitate to offend Mr. Wei Jia.

In this case.

Tian Sui should be clear, although Wu Gao is not that kind of reckless man, but for Xu Zixiao, Wu Gao really dared to fight with his life, even if Tian Sui had Qi martial arts, even if Tian Sui was a member of the royal family of Qi.

Inside the main hall.

Whether it was the elder or other nobles, they all looked at Tian Sui.

In the hearts of everyone, after realizing that Xu Zixiao was a closed-door disciple of Duke Jin, and Xu Zixiao's previous help to Zhao Guo, they all regarded Xu Zixiao as one of their own.

Naturally, at this time, everyone hopes that Tian Sui can tell what he knows and the murderer who assassinated Xu Zixiao.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xu turned his head and saw Tian Sui's embarrassed look, so he raised his hand first.

"The person who assassinated Xu Junzi in the past was not related to Tian Sui. There was a reason for the incident. If Tian Sui didn't want to save Zixiao, he wouldn't say anything today. I hope you all don't get excited!"

Chen Xu explained with a smile.

And Chen Xu's words also made Wu Gao, who was staring directly at Tian Sui, the anger in his eyes dissipated slightly.

Although Wu Gao was angry, he still had reason.

Wu Gao knew that what Chen Xu said was reasonable, if Tian Sui hadn't intended to save Zixiao, he wouldn't have spoken at this time.

but!

As far as Wu Gao is concerned, the person who assassinated Zi Xiao must not be let go, he must die.

Right now, Tian Sui obviously intends to protect the person who assassinated Zi Xiao in the past!

thought here.

Wu Gao clenched his hands tightly under his embroidered robe.

"Zi Xiao also wants to believe in Tian Junzi! Zi Xiao can see that Tian Junzi is in trouble, so he won't ask too much. However, if Tian Junzi knows where the antidote is, can he get the antidote earlier? Zi Xiao I want to use up what I have learned all my life and help him.”

Bai Yan looked at Tian Sui, and clapped his hands in a salute.

Knowing that Tian Sui actually knew that Mrs. Xu had assassinated him, Bai Yan was relieved because he had been thinking of a reason before, how to transfer Tian Sui without arousing Tian Sui's suspicion.

"it is good!"

When Tian Sui heard Bai Yan's words, he didn't refuse any more, but looked at Bai Yan apologetically, "I'll take Zi Xiao there on this trip, and personally seek the antidote for Zi Xiao!"

"I am coming too!"

"Can you take Wu with you?"

Hearing Tian Sui's words, Wu Gao and Bai Yan said in unison. After speaking, they looked at each other.

Bai Yan was looking for an excuse to take Wu Gao out of Zhongmou City.

But Wu Gao was worried, worried that the mastermind of the assassination knew that Xiao Zixiao was not dead and poisoned him again, and followed him. If Zixiao had an accident, he would be with Tian Sui for the rest of his life.

"Then I'll go too!"

"Me too, anyway, seeing that the weather is about to rain, it will take some time for Yingzheng to arrive in Zhongmou!"

Chen Xu and Shi Yan said helplessly when they saw Wu Gao and Tian Sui's appearance.

They had to go together, otherwise they were really worried that if something happened on the way, Wu Gao and Tian Sui would do it.

This Yingzheng has not yet arrived, and there must be no internal troubles.

in the lobby.

The old master looked at Wu Gao and Tian Sui, and nodded slightly when he heard that Chen Xu, Wu Gao and Shiyan were all going together.

"Very good!"

The old master said.

The most urgent thing is to wait for Yingzheng to come and assassinate Yingzheng. Where is Tian Sui, with Chen Xu and Shiyan there, nothing will happen.

And as the master opened his mouth, this matter was confirmed.

The other gentry men naturally had no objections.

Looking at Xu Zixiao's young and pale face, everyone has heard that in Handan, Xu Zixiao once killed several assassins with his own sword after being ambushed, forcing the rest of the assassins to disperse.

Such martial arts cannot be underestimated.

Perhaps not only the Xu family's forces, but also Xu Zixiao will be of great help to assassinate Ying Zheng this time.

An hour later.

As it got dark, in the mansion, with the arrival of men from other gentry clans, the banquet was full of laughter, and there was an endless stream of toasting and chatting.

Perhaps it was due to physical reasons. During this period, everyone did not make things difficult for Bai Yan. On the contrary, Zhu Xun and others told Bai Yan that if he was not feeling well, he should not force himself to go down to rest earlier.

At this moment, Wu Gao was not as excited as he was at the beginning, at least his gaze towards Tian Sui was not as close as before.

Tian Sui naturally knew it too, but he didn't explain anything except helplessness.

During the banquet.

Shiyan and Wu Gao also learned from the old master that the Qin general Bai Yan did not come to Zhongmou City, but took a carriage. When he was in Chaoge City, he suddenly turned to Tangyin City.

According to the news that came, it was said that it was Bai Yan, the general of the Qin Dynasty. The place where he suspected at the beginning was not Zhongmu City, but Tangyin City.

"pity!"

Shiyan said with regret.

Wu Gao also nodded, if that Qin general Bai Yan came to Zhongmou City, it would be great.

When Yingzheng was about to arrive in Zhongmou City, everyone launched an attack and used all their forces to get rid of Bai Yan.

"Cough cough cough~!"

Bai Yan coughed a few times, interrupting Wu Gao and Shi Yan's thoughts.

Wu Gao turned his head to look, and found a painful expression on Bai Yan's face.

"Zi Xiao, you are not feeling well, can you go to rest first?"

Wu Gao asked softly.

Only a very close relationship can make Wu Gao so concerned and his tone so worried.

And Bai Yan didn't hold back anymore, nodded to Wu Gao, got up and said goodbye to everyone.

Everyone in the banquet, seeing Bai Yan got up to leave, expressed that they didn't mind, and the master even ordered his granddaughter, Zhu Mei, to see Bai Yan off.

see this scene.

Not to mention those gentry men in their 40s and [-]s, even some young gentry children can see that the Lord always intends to marry the Xu family.

Looking at the thirteen or fourteen-year-old Zhu Mei, many people looked at the young man with a hint of envy.

Although Zhu Mei is not a peerless beauty, she is still fair and beautiful. In addition to the background and connections of the Zhu family, it can be said to be of great help to Xu Zixiao in the future.

And the main thing is that as long as the main wife is the main wife, he doesn't care how many beautiful concubines Xu Zixiao takes.

"Thank you, Master!"

Bai Yan looked at Zhu Xun's grandfather and said gratefully.

Then he saluted to the woman named Zhu Mei beside the gray temple elder.

"It's work!"

After Bai Yan finished compiling the ceremony, he watched Zhu Mei get up, and bowed to himself shyly.

After waiting for the master to come up, he followed the master and walked towards the door.

Inside the main hall.

Wu Gao looked at Bai Yan's back following the girl, and frowned slightly.

But even after a turn, Wu Gao was not worried, because in Wu Gao's eyes, he knew Zi Xiao's character, and Wu's was not much worse than Zhu's.

His eldest sister is much more beautiful than the underage Zhumei.

Inside the corridor.

Bai Yan looked at the girl who was leading the way, and turned his head to look outside the corridor, at the dark sky.

There are not a single star tonight, and the brighter ones are covered by dark clouds.

Calculate the time.

The person who made the arrangements should have already arrived at Zhongmou City, and tomorrow, they can wash this place with blood.

Boom~! ! !

In the sky of Zhongmou City, a flash of lightning flashed from time to time, accompanied by the roar of thunderstorm.

Inside the mansion.

Bai Yan sat kneeling in the room, wearing a thick fur coat, under the candlelight, handwriting was written on a roll of bamboo slips.

Hear thunder outside the window.

In front of the wooden table, Bai Yan stopped the brush, slowly raised his head, and looked out the window.

It rains in winter, and thunder is rare. I thought it was just light rain, but I never thought there would be thunder.

I think of what my grandmother taught me since I was a child, thunder strikes in winter, thunder strikes snow, and there is also the saying that thunder strikes winter, and nine out of ten bullpens are empty!

Listening to the thunder outside, Bai Yan knew that in the next period of time, the weather would enter Bingdong and be very cold, with snow in the rain, and the temperature would be cold enough to freeze the cattle to death.

Back in Qi State, when Bai Yan was a child, he had seen the few households in the village with only cattle, and it was in this kind of weather that their cattle were frozen to death.

Think back to when you were a child.

Bai Yan showed nostalgia on his face. At that time, his father often said that it would be great if there was a cow in the family.

Tuk Tuk Tuk~!

There was a knock on the door, Bai Yan came back to his senses, then got up and walked to the door.

Open the door.

Biting cold air rushed towards his face, what Bai Yan didn't expect was that the person standing outside the door was actually Tian Sui.

"Tian Sui dares to disturb you!"

Tian Sui looked at the pale Bai Yan and cupped his hands in ceremony.

Bai Yan looked at Tian Feiyan's elder brother, knew that the other party came here and had something to say to him, so he bowed his hand and asked Tian Sui to enter the room.

inside the room.

Bai Yan brought Tian Sui to the wooden table, knelt down and sat down, then reached out to hold the teapot and poured tea for Tian Sui.

After pouring tea.

Looking at the young Tian Sui in front of him, Bai Yan was full of emotion.

For a long time, Bai Yan never thought that he would meet Tian Feiyan's elder brother in such a way and on such an occasion. The last time he met Tian Feiyan's other elder brother, Tian Cong, he was still the Qin general Bai Yan , but now it is Xu Zixiao.

"Xu Junzi just now, can you blame Tian Sui for not telling the person who assassinated in front of Handan!"

Tian Sui looked at the steaming tea on the wooden table under the candle lamp, and asked softly.

When Bai Yan heard Tian Sui's words, he didn't take it seriously.

"No! Zixiao knows that Tian Junzi must have something to hide!"

Bai Yan said, putting the hot teapot aside.

"But if Zixiao guessed correctly, it should be Mrs. Xu!"

Bai Yan said.

Knowing that Mrs. Xu was the one who helped Yan Dan forge the dagger, Tian Sui knew that he was a disciple of Duke Jin, but still kept it a secret.

At that time, Bai Yan guessed that Yan Dan should have started to arrange a plan to assassinate Ying Zheng.

If the assassination here in Zhongmou City is unsuccessful, then Yan Dan will start his plan and use the map of the city of Yan State to ask the righteous men to assassinate Ying Zheng.

However, Bai Yan did not inform Tian Sui of this guess at this time.

"Ok?"

Tian Sui was a little surprised when he heard the young man's words.However, upon hearing the second half of Bai Yan's sentence, the pupils on that handsome face suddenly widened, and he looked at Bai Yan full of horror, staring at Bai Yan's pale cheeks.

"how do you know?"

Tian Sui asked.

Bai Yan looked at Tian Sui and explained with a smile,
"Tian Junzi looked down on Zixiao too much. If he hadn't been worried that Mrs. Xu would commit suicide, there would be no antidote, or if he had disturbed Mrs. Xu and made her escape, Zixiao had already ordered someone to do it in Handan."

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he looked out the window, and after taking a look, he turned to Tian Sui.

"This time I troubled Junzi Tian to get the antidote for Zixiao. Zixiao is very grateful!"

Bai Yan clapped his hands together to salute.

Tian Sui looked at the young man in front of him, thought for a while, and raised his hand in return.

No wonder Jin Gong can be accepted as a disciple.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden roar.

Inside the gate of Zhongmou City, several Qin officials were standing guard against the wall while yawning.

The cold wind blew the torch inside the city gate, shaking it, and almost extinguished it. The weak fire light was naturally dimmed from time to time.

"This weather, it's going to rain again!"

A Qin official looked up at the night, shook his head and said.

Seeing this, the other three Qin officials couldn't help but nodded slightly. It was already cold in winter, but the wind was blowing like a bone, and it was actually raining now.

"Why don't you find an opportunity tomorrow and ask Master Cheng Wei to help us and stop for us, who are you?"

Among the three, one of the official Qin was speaking when he suddenly saw several figures appearing under the shadows, which startled him.

It's scary in the middle of the night.

And what I thought were Qin officials from other places, but what I didn't expect to appear were a few men in black.

"who are you?"

The other three were also taken aback, looking at the men in black with vigilance.

However, before he could speak at this time, he saw that among the men in black, the leader took out a wooden sign from his arms.

"Master City Guard ordered us to come here!"

Huai, who was dressed in black, handed the wooden sign to the leader of Qin officials.

Qin official nodded after checking.

"What's the matter?"

Qin official asked.

"Open the door! Don't let the people on the tower know!"

Huai said.

When several Qin officials heard Huai's words, they looked at each other, and then their gazes at Huai gradually changed, and they looked at the wooden sign in their hands.

"My lord, wait!"

The leading Qin official said to Huai, his tone had changed, he looked around, and then told a Qin official to go to the tower.

Huai was not in a hurry, but looked around.

After waiting for a while, it seemed that the Qin officials on the tower had already been lured away. Only then did the three Qin officials turn around and go to open the city gate behind them.

Accompanied by the opening of the city gate.

The three Qin officials suddenly saw dense figures appearing in the dark night outside the city.

"what!"

Seeing this, the leading Qin official's legs softened, and he hit the ground with his buttocks. The other two Qin officials also stumbled back two steps. However, they felt that they had bumped into something. When they turned around, they saw the man in black standing behind him just now. , has quietly drawn his sword.

Under the horrified eyes of the two Qin officials, they hadn't waited for them to react.

huh~!

Two men in black stretched out their hands to cover Qin Li's mouth, while the other two raised their swords and pierced Qin Li's abdomen with one sword.

Accompanied by severe pain and struggle, after a while, the legs of the two Qin officials tucked into the ground a few times, and slowly went limp until there was no movement.

Flutter~!

The sound of the two corpses falling to the ground brought another Qin official back to his senses. At this moment, this Qin official's face was pale, looking at the densely packed figures of cavalry outside the city gate in front of him, full of horror, and kept retreating.

However, after hearing the movement, Qin Li turned his head and saw the other two, who had already turned into corpses, their eyes open and lifeless, and they were so scared that they peed out.

until this time.

Only then did the Qin official come to his senses, and he knew that either the city guard had betrayed those gentry, or the incident had happened and he had already been killed.

"Big, my lord!"

Qin officials looked at Huai in horror.

Huai looked at the Qin official, with the corners of his mouth raised, and slowly came to the Qin official.
