Qin Gong

Inside the room.

At first, Bai Yan was a little curious about what Tian Feiyan wrote to him,

However, when he saw what was happening at his grandfather's house behind, Bai Yan couldn't help sighing that his uncle was really a 'prodigal' talent.

But at the end, Bai Yan frowned when he learned that his uncle wanted to sell Zilu's wife, and that Zilu agreed to go to Chu.

In Bai Yan's eyes since he was a child, even though his cousin Zi Lu has no talent, he has a good nature.

However, Zi Lu's actions now disappointed Bai Yan.

Although in this world, people would not find it strange even if they killed their wives for fame and fortune, but at least in Bai Yan's eyes, he could see a person clearly.

Not to mention Mencius' mainstream view that nature is good, that is, Xun Shuo's grandfather Xunzi, the view that nature is evil, all can see that Zilu is unreliable.

Looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, he saw what Tian Feiyan said in the letter at the end.

Bai Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, why did she feel that the girl was even more angry than herself, she spent so much energy just to vent her anger, no, it seemed more than just venting her anger.

Bai Yan knew Tian Feiyan well!
But at this moment, Bai Yan finally understood why the woman beside him was so dazed.

It turned out that it was Cen Qing who had met him once, that is, Zilu's wife.

Two years ago, too many women came to my grandfather's house at that time, Bai Yan didn't bother to pay attention, so he didn't remember Cen Qing.

But Cen Qing obviously remembered him.

But right now she didn't dare to ask. After all, now, he was already wearing the black official uniform of the Qin State, and he was wearing a royal hat. He was completely incompatible with the young man who was watching the fire by the stove.

Inside the room.

After Bai Yan read the bamboo slips, he put them on the wooden table.

Bai Yan didn't take what happened two years ago at all, otherwise he wouldn't have forgotten Cen Qing at all.

"You two stay here first!"

Bai Yan raised his head and looked at the stem in front of him. If he remembered correctly, this woman's name was this. When he came to this restaurant to entertain guests several times, this woman was always by his side pouring wine for him.

"Thank you sir!"

After hearing Bai Yan's words, Qiang nodded gratefully.

Cen Qing who was on the side also came back to her senses at this time, seeing Gan going to pour wine beside the captain, she could only kneel and sit beside the captain in a helpless manner.

The banquet lasted for nearly two hours until late at night. The other gentry children fell to the ground drunk, and one or two even woke up from drunk, and then got drunk again.

After Bai Yan arranged for someone to take the gentry away, he took out some money from his pocket and handed it to Gan.

"You go down first!"

Bai Yan said softly.

Seeing this, Qiang nodded gratefully to Bai Yan, but before leaving, he was full of envy and looked at Cen Qing with some doubts.

I don't know why the Commander-in-Chief left Cen Qing alone. If it was a matter of men and women, she was a thousand times stronger than Cen Qing, and she would work harder than Cen Qing to serve the Commander-in-Chief.

But now the county lieutenant asked her to leave, she dared not disobey.

soon.

Accompanied by the private room door slowly closed.

In the middle of the night, under the light of candle lamps, there was only a mess in the private room, and Bai Yan and Cen Qing behind the wooden table.

"Recognize me?"

Bai Yan looked at Cen Qing and said softly.

A light sentence resounded in the private room, but when Cen Qing, who had been kneeling all this time, heard it, her delicate body suddenly trembled, and then she turned her head in disbelief, looking at the young man beside her who was so close.

Just now she couldn't believe it, just now she had been doubting her eyes.

However, when she heard this sentence now, she still didn't understand. She didn't remember or misunderstood.

The county lieutenant in front of her, who was wearing the official uniform of the Qin State and whom she could never afford in her life, was the young man who was lighting a fire by the stove in the corner of Zilu's house two years ago.

"You~! You are, Yan!!"

Cen Qing trembled, looking at the young man in front of her at this moment, she didn't understand what was going on.

Why did the young man who was still making a fire two years ago become the Yanmen County Captain in front of him two years later?
wrong!

Bai Yan!Qin general Bai Yan.

Suddenly, Cen Qing remembered the name of the boy in front of outsiders, and then the story of Qin General Bai Yan in Linzi and the village that had been rumored in the village came to mind.

Bai Yan only rose when he was destroying Korea!
Thinking of this, Cen Qing thought about two years ago, when the boy left the village suddenly, and when Zi Lu's father said that he had seen Yan in Xianyang!
right!right!
Cen Qing understands, understands thoroughly, it turns out that two years ago, this boy did not go to Yicheng at all, nor did he take him to Yicheng because of Ling Shi's appreciation, but went to the most distant state of Qin, where everyone was degraded. That family, no, even the boy's parents were cheated by the boy!
Everyone didn't know that the boy didn't go to Yicheng at all.

Moreover, Zilu's father did not admit the wrong person. Back then in Xianyang, the person Zilu's father saw was indeed Yan!

Think of these.

Cen Qing felt a cleverness flash in her mind, her scalp was numb, goosebumps appeared all over her body, and she looked at the young man in front of her with a pretty face full of shock.

"Master Yan, please save me!"

After Cen Qing came back to her senses, she kowtowed sideways to Bai Yan, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

At this moment, Cen Qing doesn't want to accompany those restaurant guests anymore, thinking back to those guests who made a fuss and treated her like a plaything, now Cen Qing doesn't want to accompany the guests anymore.

Inside the room.

Bai Yan looked at the young but already married woman in front of him.

"Did you ever help Zilu's family and plot against my parents?"

With a soft word from Bai Yan, the woman who was kneeling and kowtowing immediately felt cold all over her body.

Cen Qing raised her head, her pretty face was pale, and she looked at the young man in front of her in horror. She suddenly remembered that when Zi Lu's father wanted money to go to Chu State, she didn't know how to ask Mrs. Xie for it. She once suggested an idea.

But how did this boy know?
Suddenly, Cen Qing noticed the scroll of bamboo slips on the wooden table.

After thinking of something for a moment, I immediately understood why the young man didn't seem to know himself at first, but after reading the bamboo slips later, he suddenly asked her to stay.

thought here.

Cen Qing's heart was full of remorse, her eyes filled with tears.

"My lord, Cen Qing knew it was wrong, Cen Qing's eyes are clumsy, I beg my lord not to remember Cen Qing's mistakes, Cen Qing is willing to be a cow and a horse for my lord!"

Cen Qing said with sobs, she didn't choose to lie.

She was the most beautiful girl in the village and had the right to ignore the young man who lit the fire back then, but now she dared not hide anything, let alone lie, when facing the county lieutenant in Qin's official uniform.

She knows the consequences.

Along with the trembling of her tender body, Cen Qing's eyes were filled with tears, which fell down along the marks on her cheeks, her sobbing caused her shoulders to tremble, no doubt she was not revealing the regret in her heart.

In Cen Qing's heart, it is only now that she understands how blind she is, who was proud of her parents since she was a child, and she will fall in love with Zi Lu.

She helped Zi Lu, but Zi Lu sold her out regardless of the relationship between husband and wife and the child.

Confession room.

Cen Qing heard the sound of getting up suddenly, she looked with tears in her eyes, and when she saw the young man standing up, Cen Qing hurriedly kowtowed to him.

"My lord! Please, help me~!"

Cen Qing prayed in despair, eyes blurred with tears, looked at the young man in front of her with the last glimmer of hope.

For Cen Qing, her last hope now is the boy in front of her.

"Where do you want to go back?"

Bai Yan stood in front of the wooden table, looking at Cen Qing.

At this moment, Bai Yan didn't think about the fact that he had a relationship two years ago, because the bottom line in Bai Yan's heart was his parents and family members. If Cen Qing hadn't helped his uncle cheat his parents of money, maybe he would have found a way to settle down with Cen Qing.

But it was Cen Qing who helped the uncle, if it wasn't for the fact that her grandmother just happened to visit her parents, Bai Yan wouldn't know how much money her parents would be cheated by her uncle.

That money is not much, at least it is not worth mentioning to Bai Yan, but with his parents, it is indeed money that is not willing to spend more than daily savings.

Cen Qing is not guilty of death, but Bai Yan is not brainless and kind, helping, it is absolutely impossible to help.

Not to mention, Bai Yan specially reminded Cen Qing, even if she leaves here, where can she go back?

Should I go back to Zilu's house or her parents' house?
"My lord, I want to go back."

Cen Qing, who had been praying for Bai Yan, suddenly froze on the spot when she heard Bai Yan's words, with a dazed expression on her face.

Just now, her mind was full of wanting to get out of here.

But after being reminded, she finally came to her senses. Even if she went back now, it seemed that she could only go back to her parents' home. What would she face then.

She had already been Zilu's wife before, and if Zilu's mother tried to get her parents to hand her back after she went back, what would she do then?

Will she be trafficked somewhere next time?

Inside the room.

Cen Qing was sluggish and slumped on the ground, her eyes were lifeless and full of despair.

By flickering candlelight.

Bai Yan looked at the woman in front of him, feeling a little complicated at the moment.

Although these were all her past choices, being abandoned by Zilu in the end was due to the greed of Zilu and her uncle.

From the beginning to the end, Bai Yan never thought of killing Cen Qing, because Cen Qing was from the hometown of Qi State after all, and even called his parents uncles and aunts.

Bai Yan doesn't care how many people he kills, but his parents are ordinary people who work, Bai Yan doesn't want to add grievances to his parents, and Cen Qing's fault is not enough to die. I will forgive Cen Qing.

"Stay here with peace of mind in the future. I will instruct the shopkeeper to arrange light work for you. Don't have any expectations. From now on, you know what to say and what not to say!"

Bai Yan turned around and walked out of the private room, leaving only one sentence.

As for how Cen Qing will arrange in the future, Bai Yan believes in Tian Feiyan. Since Tian Feiyan sent Cen Qing here, he must be fully prepared, otherwise he would not say that he sent her here.

It is impossible for Tian Feiyan to let someone kill Cen Qing.

Bai Yan is clear about this.

Although Tian Feiyan was lively by nature and pretended to be fierce on the outside, he was very kind in his heart, and when he was looking at the bamboo slips just now, Bai Yan could feel that Tian Feiyan was more than just wanting to vent his anger.

The most appropriate analogy is that if Tian Feiyan hadn't brought Cen Qing here, I am afraid that Cen Qing's end would, without exaggeration, be several times more miserable.

And Bai Yan had a premonition that Cen Qing would be able to see her child soon.

This premonition is very, very strong.

Because Bai Yan knew that when Tian Feiyan was a child, he had no mother, and when his father was busy, he was always alone.

What she couldn't understand and wanted to vent her anger was probably an excuse.

More likely it should be emotional.

It's also the same, Tian Feiyan just arranged for Cen Qing to come to Yanmen Shanwu, and let him vent his anger face to face, on the one hand, Tian Feiyan knew that Cen Qing's fault was not fatal, and he would not be really angry, what would he do to Cen Qing.

"Thank you sir!"

Just when Bai Yan came to the closed door of the private room, Cen Qing's voice came from behind. Although it still sounded a little sad, there was also a trace of gratitude.

Bai Yan didn't say anything more, he had just guessed everything, and he had to look at Cen Qing's situation in the future to know.

Slowly open the door.

"grown ups!"

The trusted officers and soldiers who had been guarding outside the private room, saw Bai Yan, and all saluted.

Bai Yan nodded.

At this time, not far away, a man dressed in silk and who had been guarding outside slowly walked over.

Under Bai Yan's watchful eyes, the man came to Bai Yan and saluted respectfully.

"My lord, my name is Qu. I was the servant of my old friend in Linzi before, and now I am ordered to come here to be the shopkeeper of this restaurant. If my lord needs it in the future, I will definitely die!"

After the ceremony, the man named Qu said to Bai Yan, telling Bai Yan about his origin.

If Yan's father or Mrs. Yan were here, they would definitely recognize the man in front of him. In the past two years, Yan had dragged him several times to bring money home, and then handed over a share to the couple.

But now, he has come to Yanmen Shanwu City, and has become the shopkeeper of the restaurant in front of him.

"Old friend of Qi?"

Bai Yan looked at the man in front of him.

Turning his head to look at Yajian, at this moment Bai Yan didn't know that Tian Feiyan should be the old friend of Qi Guo, and he had confirmed his conjecture just now.

"Has her child brought?"

Bai Yan looked at the new shopkeeper in front of him and asked.

Tian Feiyan is so kind and cute that he has to cover up everything for fear of being known.

But at the same time, Bai Yan also clearly realized that Tian Feiyan has always missed her mother very much.

"My lord, bring it!"

He nodded to Bai Yan.

Inside the room.

Cen Qing knelt on the ground in a daze, and when she heard the voice outside the door, she slowly came back to her senses, her eyes full of tears looked towards the door of the elegant room.

At this moment, after Cen Qing recovered, she gradually calmed down, and her heart was full of regrets, which was different from the previous regrets. At this moment, Cen Qing was regretting the choice made two years ago, recalling the scenes in the yard back then, if at that time, She chose not Zilu, but the boy who watched the fire.

that would be nice!

In the middle of the night.

In the study of the mansion, under the candle lamp, Bai Yan was at the wooden table in front of the window, looking at the jade pendant in his hand.

Bai Yan thought back to two years ago, when he was warned by someone arranged by Tian Feiyan's father, he planned to lie to Tian Feiyan by the river, but Tian Feiyan was too smart and directly guessed that he was lying.

It was also at that time.

For the first time, he expressed his goals and plans to people other than his relatives.

At that time, Tian Feiyan took out the jade pendant in front of her, and then handed it to herself.

Today's events made Bai Yan couldn't help but think of the scenes when he got along with Tian Feiyan back then, and remembered that under Tian Feiyan's arrogant and unreasonable appearance, besides kindness, there was also a sad side, but she hid it very well. Don't let others know, and won't say it.

"You really believe that I won't get angry?"

Bai Yan looked at Yu Pei and murmured softly.

Bai Yan couldn't figure out why Tian Feiyan was so sure. After he learned what had happened, he wouldn't do anything to Cen Qing.

Thinking of this, and remembering that Zhao had just been destroyed, and the three countries of Yan, Wei, and Chu, Bai Yan felt a little melancholy.

I don't know when I will be able to return to Qi in the future.

At that time, he must go to the Tian Mansion that he has never been to, the place that was out of reach for him at the beginning, and meet Tian Feiyan's father.

"Her second brother shouldn't blame him, right?"

Bai Yan suddenly thought of Tian Sui, and his heart beat a little. If he met Tian Sui at that time, would the bewildered Tian Sui pull out his sword and try to kill him after regaining consciousness.

At this moment.

The door of the room was suddenly pushed open.

When Bai Yan heard the movement, he took the jade pendant back into his palm.

Turning his head, Bai Yan saw an unexpected person.

"Why did you suddenly come to my room tonight?"

Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu curiously.

Since he didn't agree to Zhao Qiu that time, Bai Yan rarely communicated with Zhao Qiu, and the only communication was because Zhao Qiu was present when Bai Yan and Bao Shi were chatting together.

It's late at night, and Zhao Qiu would come to him, which surprised Bai Yan.

"I heard that you have sent all the side riders to go north?"

After Zhao Qiu came to the room, he walked to the wooden table and looked at Bai Yan under the candle lamp.

Bai Yan nodded.

"If you don't go north while riding, once the Xiongnu become stronger, not only Yanmen will be devastated, but other places will also suffer misfortune. You should know this!"

Bai Yan did not hide from Zhao Qiu, and with Zhao Qiu's eyeliner, it is impossible for Zhao Qiu not to have received the news of Zhao Bianqi's big movement.

Now Zhao Qiu is staying in the mansion as Shen Ji, receiving news from the eyeliner, Bai Yan has never restricted Zhao Qiu in this regard, after all, once he restricts Zhao Qiu from receiving news, it will be self-defeating.

not to mention.

If Zhao Qiu is willing to help, it will be a particularly great help.

"After Bian Qi went north, why did you suddenly let Bai's iron cavalry leave?"

Zhao Qiu asked again.

Zhao Qiu also knew that Bai Yan's words were correct regarding the matter of Bian Qi going north.

Looking at the not-so-beautiful but young boy in front of him, Zhao Qiu knew very well that if there was no important matter, this boy would definitely not easily mobilize the Bai clan cavalry.

As long as the Bai clan's iron cavalry is mobilized, there will usually be major events!
But right now, there is nothing serious in Zhao Land.

"After a while, the Kingdom of Yan is going to donate the map of Dukang to ask the king for peace!"

Bai Yan explained softly.

Under the dim candlelight, Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu, who was seductive and seductive, but seemed unfriendly to strangers. Bai Yan quietly looked at the wooden table, hiding the jade pendant under his hand, while preparing to write the bamboo slips.

"It's impossible for you not to know about this matter. Tell me! What do you want to come to me tonight?"

Bai Yan picked up the pen and ink, and spoke softly.

As for Zhao Qiu's eyeliner, Bai Yan knew very well that news from Yan Kingdom would definitely not be able to hide from Zhao Qiu.

Moreover, Bai Yan also heard Wei Lao mentioned that when Yan Dan fled from Qin State when he was a hostage in Qin State, Zhao Qiu also contributed behind the scenes, otherwise Yan Dan would not have returned to Yan State so smoothly.

After all, if Yandan didn't help at that time, let alone leave the land of Qin State, he just wanted to return to Yan State earlier, and he had to pass through Zhao State's territory in the middle.

So right now he has received the news that Yan State is going to offer Du Kang a land to Qin State, how could Zhao Qiu not know.

"This time, are you planning to destroy Yan and surrender to Qin?"

A trace of hesitation appeared in Zhao Qiumei's eyes, and he looked at Bai Yan.

In a word, Bai Yan was dumbfounded, and looked at Zhao Qiu full of doubts, and that look made Zhao Qiuqiao look a little unnaturally aside.

Seemingly knowing what Bai Yan was thinking, Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan again.

"You dare to bear the hatred of the old clan in Zhaodi for Yingzheng!"

Zhao Qiu explained.

Zhao Qiu was telling Bai Yan that in her eyes, Yingzheng could let the Qin army attack Yan State in an instant. Under such circumstances, Bai Yan might secretly destroy Yan State's contribution matter.

This is also the best explanation for why Bai's iron cavalry suddenly received Bai Yan's order to leave Shanwu.

As long as the State of Yan has not surrendered to Qin, the Qin army will find an opportunity to attack the State of Yan in the future.

More importantly, others dare not spoil this matter secretly, but Zhao Qiu even thought that the young man in front of him might really be able to.

inside the room.

Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu dumbfounded, his expression full of absurdity.

"The princess really overestimates Bai Yan? The King of Yan offered Du Kang a land to my king, and Bai Yan has no guts to spoil this matter!"

Bai Yan said, shaking his head with a smile.

Then, under Zhao Qiu's gaze, Bai Yan took a brush and prepared to start writing on the bamboo slips.

Zhao Qiumei stared blankly at Bai Yan with a hint of doubt, but relying on her intuition, she felt that Bai Yan did not seem to be lying.

"Is it really just an escort?"

Zhao Qiu still didn't trust Bai Yan very much.

Because Zhao Qiu has seen too many people, as well as all the old clan forces in Zhaodi, all of whom have been played around by this young man.

"Yes! Just an escort!"

Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu with a smile.

Seeing this, Zhao Qiu glanced at Bai Yan with beautiful eyes, thought for a while, and looked at the wooden table.

"Do you need me to grind ink for you!"

Zhao Qiu asked Bai Yan softly.

Bai Yan was a little surprised, but shook his head.

"If you dislike me, then I can call your beauty over for you and let her grind ink for you."

Zhao Qiu said softly.

"It's late at night, she has already rested, so don't disturb her!"

Bai Yan knelt down in front of the wooden table with a brush in his hand, looking at Zhao Qiu in front of him, at this moment Bai Yan already knew that Zhao Qiu probably had a premonition because he knew Yan Dan, and this time Yan Guo asked for peace, things might not be so serious Simple.

This can explain why Zhao Qiu was so sensitive when he learned that Bai's cavalry had left Yanmen.

inside the room.

Seeing Zhao Qiu sitting on his knees opposite the wooden table, grinding ink for himself, Bai Yan didn't say no again.

Zhao Qiu is just guessing at the moment, he has not received any news, let alone he knows that Yan Dan is going to assassinate Ying Zheng, so Bai Yan doesn't need to worry too much about Zhao Qiu in this matter.

"Who are you going to send to escort the envoys of the Yan Kingdom?"

Zhao Qiu sat kneeling beside the wooden table, under the candle lamp, holding the patterned cuff of Zhao Guo's dress with one hand, and gently grinding the ink with the other.

During the questioning, Zhao Qiumei looked calmly at Bai Yan opposite the wooden table.

"I just have something to do, I might have to go back to Xianyang!"

Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu's question, paused his pen, thought about it, looked at Zhao Qiu and said.

Thinking that Bai Yan had already taken his wife and daughter to Qi State, Bai Yan counted the time, and now Bai Yan should have almost returned halfway.

This time, besides Yan Dan's plan to assassinate Ying Zheng, Bai Yan also planned to deal with Bai's matter.

So no matter what, he will go back to Xianyang this time.

"Are you going back to Xianyang again?"

Zhao Qiu, who had been studying ink, stopped his hands when he heard Bai Yan's words, and frowned slightly.

If the words are heard by other people, they will definitely feel that Bai Yan is like a heartless man, and Zhao Qiu is like a resentful woman, but in fact.

Zhao Qiu looked at the young man in front of him, feeling a little worried.

She is really afraid of this boy's existence!
Now, although it is not clear where Yan Guo has any plans, if she is thinking too much, but she knows that as long as there is a young man in front of her, even if Yan Guo has a plan, if she is a little careless, the young man may notice it.

This young man's mind is too meticulous, she knows that ordinary people will be easily deceived by this young man's appearance.

"Aren't you afraid that you are not in Yanmen, and now there are war horses on the side of the north, and you will be directly instigated by the generation?"

Zhao Qiu said.

But after the voice fell, Bai Yan shook his head slightly.

"I trust them!"

One word from Bai Yan silenced Zhao Qiu.

Shi ① Cen Qing will not die, nor will she leak the news.
