Qin Gong

Planting in April.

As the people began to work in the fields, on the wasteland of Yanmen, there were busy people everywhere in the fields.

Plowing the land, planting seeds, and scattering grain, one by one, those busy people sweated all over their bodies under the scorching sun. However, although it looked hard, the smiles on the cheeks of every common people couldn't stop showing. Tired and full of expectations.

After several years of drought, no one can compare with the people of Yanmen, and cherish the hard-won life in front of them.

In this world, the people who are most tired are the people.

In this world, the people suffer the most.

In this world, the people who demand the least are also the common people.

Everything you need, everything you want, is just to live well.

And in many cases, these very simple requirements are also a kind of extravagance, because the superiors always only know their own needs, and the needs of the common people are often at the bottom, under everything.

Any of this may just be an insignificant matter.

Bai Yanneng's standing in Yanmen in such a short period of time is not just as simple as what people in the world think, it is as simple as getting rid of the old forces of Yanmen. If the needs of the people are not met, even the hope of survival will be lost. No, how could there be today's stability.

Young Master Jia, who is now the king in Dai County, once sent people to Yanmen to conspire, but in the end they all returned without success.

What Young Master Jia wanted was not only Bianqi, but also the people of Yanmen who were as important as Bianqi.

Perhaps Young Master Jia has never understood why after Bai Yan took over Yanmen, no matter whether it was the tens of thousands of Bianqi or the people of Yanmen County, they were unwilling to support him, the son of Zhao Guo, who had the blood of Zhao Wang.

There is no gate of goodness.

Several carriages with flags of the Yan State came slowly to the city gate.

Stopped by the Qin officials guarding the city gate, a man who led a carriage and a man holding an envoy from the State of Yan came out of the carriage.

"I am Jing Ke, envoy of Yan. This trip is ordered to go to the state of Qin to meet the king of Qin! Passing through Yanmen, I am here to pay homage to Shanwu City to visit Governor Yang and Commandant Bai!"

Jing Ke stood on the carriage and said to Qin officials.

At this moment, on the left and right sides of these carriages, there are fifty soldiers of the Yan Kingdom holding sharp knives, looking very imposing.

Qin officials heard Jing Ke's words, although they didn't know the scepter, but after seeing the customs clearance token, they didn't dare to neglect to stop it.

"Go and report to the sheriff and the sheriff!"

The leading Qin official turned his head and instructed the Qin official behind him, while speaking, he also looked at the other Qin official and winked.

When the envoy of Yan came, it was natural to inform the county guard, and there were so many Yan soldiers with sharp knives at the moment, so they naturally had to take precautions.

Not to mention all the Qin officials in Shanwu City, even the Qin officials in the entire Yanmen County, are directly dispatched by the county lieutenant.

"Emissary Yan, please enter the city!"

The Qin official saw the other two Qin officials turning around and running towards the city, so he turned around and signaled to the envoy of Yan State that he could enter the city.

Jing Ke held the scepter of the Kingdom of Yan in his hand, and didn't say anything when he saw this. After glancing at the city gate, he turned and walked back to the carriage.

Bai Yan's mansion.

Bai Yan was holding a saber and practicing martial arts in the yard. Under the sun, with one foot on the hilt, Qin Jian spun several times in mid-air, the sound of the blade breaking through the air, and then the hilt fell into Bai Yan's palm again. With one move, Zhao Qiu and Bao Shi, who were not far away in the gazebo, looked sideways.

"Sister, what good things do you think he has, not only is he a handsome man, but also extraordinarily scheming, he killed people on the battlefield at a young age, followed him, and I don't know that day, he died on the battlefield!"

Zhao Qiumei stared at Bai Yan's figure practicing martial arts, and said softly.

Zhao Qiu didn't understand why the Bao family next to him was so devoted to the young man, Zhao Qiu knew countless people, and clearly felt that the Bao family was sincerely kind to the young man.

This kindness not only made Zhao Qiu depressed, but also made Zhao Qiu feel desperate.

"He is indeed not a handsome man!"

When Bao Shi heard Zhao Qiu's words, a smile appeared on his equally beautiful pretty face, and he was not affected by Zhao Qiu's words.

Looking at the young man practicing martial arts, Bao's eyes were full of tenderness.

"But why do you want to follow him? My sister can ask those cavalry generals and the people of Yanmen today."

Baoshi explained in a soft voice, a light and fluffy sentence, not confrontational, but could make Zhao Qiu speechless to refute.

Standing in the gazebo, Xu Shi and Xi looked at Zhao Qiu with particularly displeased eyes and full of dissatisfaction.

It was not the first time for the two of them to hear the woman speak ill of the general, and they did not understand why the general wanted to keep her in the mansion.

This woman is indeed coquettish and detrimental to the country, but the general never goes to her room to really sleep. Even if he does, he kneels at the wooden table to read books in the middle of the night, and leaves on time in the middle of the night. Master Xu and Xi both know this .

So the two of them don't understand.

Since the general strictly ordered this woman not to have contact with the outside world, why did she still let this woman stay in the mansion, treat her so well, and let her say bad things without caring.

How nice to be in a cell!
Regardless of her previous status, lock her up a few more times to see if she dares to speak ill of the general.

"It's not scheming!"

When Zhao Qiu heard Bao Shi's words, he paused and spoke.

At this moment.

After practicing sword for a long time, Bai Yan, who was sweating profusely, also stopped swinging his sword and walked towards the gazebo, ready to rest.

"General!"

When Master Xu saw Bai Yan approaching, he quickly picked up the scabbard and stepped forward. After Bai Yan entered the pavilion, he handed the scabbard to Bai Yan.

Inside the gazebo.

Bai Yan was panting, the sweat from his forehead dripped down his cheeks and onto the already soaked black clothes.

After putting away Qin Jian, Bai Yan came to the wooden table in front of Bao Shi, put Qin Jian with the hilt against the wooden table, looked at the tea that Bao Shi handed over, picked it up and drank it, while looking at the tea on the wooden table. birdcage.

"Live very well!"

Bai Yan reached out to touch the birdcage, yesterday when he took Bao Shi out for an outing, he happened to meet these two birds in the hands of a merchant from Chu State.

Seeing that Bao Shi liked it very much, Bai Yan bought it and asked Bao Shi to raise it in captivity.

At first Bai Yan was also worried that the two birds would die, but now it looks like they are alive and well.

At this moment.

Bai Yan suddenly saw a confidant walking over in a hurry.

"General, the envoy of Yan came here to ask for an interview. He said he was visiting the general and the county guard. Now the envoy of Yan has entered the city to go to the county guard's mansion."

Under the watchful eyes of Zhao Qiu, Bao Shi and others, the confidants came to Bai Yan and handed over their hands to report.

"Emissary Yan?"

Bai Yan looked at his cronies in surprise, he didn't expect envoy Yan to come to Shanwu City.

After regaining his senses, Bai Yan stood up, no matter why envoy Yan came to Shanwu suddenly, he still had to go see him right now, after all, everyone else had already come to the door.

But the moment he turned around, Bai Yan felt his hand being held by a soft hand, turned his head in doubt, and then saw Zhao Qiu looking at him with surprise and doubt.

"Didn't you say before that the cavalry left the city to escort the Yan envoy?"

Zhao Qiu said.

Thinking back to the night before, I waited for a long time in the mansion before Bai Yan came back, and then went to Bai Yan's study.

She clearly remembered that at that time, the young man in front of her said that the iron cavalry left to escort the Yan envoy.

"I didn't expect the envoy of Yan to come to Yanmen from the road to the north instead of Jingxing!"

Bai Yan felt the soft and slender hand on the palm, and shook his head slightly.

Bai Yan didn't lie about this, he really didn't expect that Jing Ke would come to Yanmen on his own initiative.

Looking at Zhao Qiu in front of him, since the showdown in Handan, Zhao Qiu has shown his true nature to him, and he is no longer pretending. Before that, in Shanwu City, Zhao Qiu knew that he was Xu Zixiao, and he didn't like him even more. matter.

It can be said that Bai Yan did not ask Zhao Qiu to be friendly with him, but only hoped that Zhao Qiu could stay here quietly.

So seeing Zhao Qiu reaching out to hold his hand, Bai Yan could feel the tension in Zhao Qiu's heart just now.

"Why do you care so much about Yan's envoy?"

Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu pretending to be curious.

"If there is an accident in Yan's land donation, and King Qin can't get the map, then Yan's fate is likely to be destroyed. I don't want to see Yan's being destroyed!"

Zhao Qiu didn't seem to be worried about Bai Yan's question. After Bai Yan asked, he explained it without the slightest hesitation.

After speaking.

Zhao Qiu also noticed that his hand was holding Bai Yan, and quickly let go of it, but after thinking about it, he still looked at Bai Yan.

"Can I accompany you to see the Yan envoy?"

Zhao Qiumei looked at Bai Yan and asked softly.

Since coming to this mansion, she can wander around as she likes, but cannot leave the mansion. She can receive news from outside the mansion, but cannot send letters to outsiders. Zhao Qiu doesn't mind these things.

After all, Zhao Qiu knew that after she knew that Bai Yan was Xu Zixiao, she could still be like this, which can be said to be excellent.

All of this is the bottom line given to her by the young man in front of her. As long as she doesn't touch it, she will always be safe in the future.

But now that envoy Yan is coming, she still wants to see it.

Although she didn't recognize all the ministers of Yan State, she still knew all of those ministers of Yan State who were suitable for envoys and good at speaking.

What kind of plan does the Yan State have this time? Maybe we can deduce one or two by seeing who the envoy of Yan is.

"You mentioned to me before that you want me to help you investigate the matter of the Huns. Later, if the envoy of Yan is my acquaintance, let me drag him with a few words, and you can also listen to it. I promise to help you investigate afterwards. The matter of the Xiongnu, and the land of Yan goes east to the sea, and there is still a road to Linhu, and Linhu leads directly to the Xiongnu!"

Zhao Qiu said that she knew what Bai Yan wanted.

In Zhao Qiu's eyes, her excuse was enough to make Bai Yan not suspicious, after all, even she was not sure about Yan Guo's intentions, let alone Bai Yan.

Under such circumstances, if you hear her excuse, you will definitely believe her.

"He's in the Sheriff's Mansion!"

Bai Yan frowned slightly when he heard Zhao Qiu's words.

Hearing that Zhao Qiu wanted to leave the mansion, Bai Yan's instinctive reaction was to refuse, because Zhao Qiu was really too smart, and there would be uncertainties when leaving the mansion, so he had no reason to take risks for no reason.

But Zhao Qiu's promise moved Bai Yan a little.

Now Zhao Qiu doesn't know that Yan's land offering is fake and the assassination is real, even if Zhao Qiu knows what happened, it can't do anything, after all Zhao Qiu is here in the mansion, the Lord needs to be careful not to let Zhao Qiu make small moves along the way.

"I won't mess around!"

Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan, although there were other people here.

But Zhao Qiu also hinted to Bai Yan in his words that she was by Bai Yan's side now, and she would not sacrifice her life in exchange for exposing a false identity.

"General, let's take Master Xu with us this time!"

At this time, Bao Shi saw that Bai Yan was a little moved, so he spoke softly.

It was inconvenient for too many people to go, and it also attracted people's attention. Mr. Bao knew that if Zhao Qiu was going, it would be better for Master Xu to go with him.

This way, Bai Yan doesn't have to be too distracted when facing the envoy of Yan.

"Ok!"

Bai Yan looked at Bao Shi, nodded, and then turned to look at Zhao Qiu.

"Let's go!"

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he walked towards the outside of the mansion.

Seeing this, Zhao Qiu hurriedly followed.

After a while.

On the streets of Shanwu City.

Inside Bai Yan's carriage, Zhao Qiu gently lifted the curtain, looking at the street scene outside the window with beautiful eyes.

Since the fall of the Zhao Kingdom, she lost her status as a princess. With the fall of the Zhao royal family, she came to Yanmen from Daidi.

For a long time, although she has a charming appearance, she is like a bird in a cage. In Bai Yan's mansion, although Bao Shi seems to be afraid to go out and walk around at will, and is trapped in the mansion, Bai Yan has time , but often took Baoshi to play, even out of the city.

Only she has been in the mansion all the time and has been able to come out until now.

Inside the carriage.

Bai Yan also noticed Zhao Qiu on the side, carefully looking at the appearance outside the carriage, and kept looking at the present.

Bai Yan also knew that this was after Zhao Qiu had been imprisoned for several months. Zhao Qiu hadn't seen the scenery outside for a long time, so he couldn't help looking at it in a daze.

Regarding this, Bai Yan knew that what he did was somewhat inhumane to Zhao Qiu.

But in any case, no matter what Bai Yan said, he would not let Zhao Qiu leave the mansion, and let Zhao Qiu have the opportunity to contact the outside world privately.

for a long time.

Escorted by several cavalry officers, the carriage slowly came to the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion.

Before Bai Yan got out of the carriage, he saw from the small window outside the sheriff's mansion, there were carriages with Yan flags and a Yan soldier holding a sharp knife.

"Remember what you promised me!"

Bai Yan turned to look at Zhao Qiu, and walked out of the carriage after speaking.

Looking at Bai Yan's back, Zhao Qiu also got up slowly.

"Is he Bai Yan?"

"Bai Yan?"

"It should be, look at those cavalry and this carriage!"

Not far from the carriage, a dozen or so Yan soldiers saw Bai Yan stepping out of the carriage, looked at each other, and started talking in low voices.

Now it is the Qin State that puts the greatest pressure on the Yan State, and the most disturbing thing in the Yan State is the Bai clan's iron cavalry stationed in Yanmen. Compared with the Qin Army on the Yishui River, the territory of the Yan State is vast and the terrain is flat. If Yan State and Qin State were to fight once, then the iron cavalry would be the greatest threat to Yan State's chariots.

Not to mention, the record of Bai's iron cavalry was too impressive.

Mie Han, Mie Zhao, just bring one up at random, behind the simple two words, it is enough to make people frightened.

This is annihilation of the country!Destroy a country!
All Yan people are sincerely worried whenever they think of it, and no one wants to see it. In the future, when the world talks about the Bai family's iron cavalry, the word "Mie Yan" will appear.

"General, the sheriff is already waiting for the general in the mansion."

At the gate of the county guard's mansion, several servants guarding the gate saw Bai Yan, and the leader immediately bent over and stepped forward.

But while speaking, the servant suddenly saw Zhao Qiu slowly coming out of the carriage, and he froze in place, momentarily absent-minded.

Not only this servant, but also the terrified Yan soldiers not far away, when they saw Zhao Qiu stepping out of the carriage, they all fell silent instantly.

Inside the Sheriff's Mansion.

In the main hall, Yang Duanhe was kneeling at the top, and there were four men on the left and right below. Surprisingly, although the four men were all wearing Yan Kingdom costumes, one of them was only about twelve or thirteen years old. But the sitting position is the position of the deputy envoy.

Jing Ke looked at the wine and food on the wine table, listened to what Yang Duanhe told the maid after talking with him, and looked at Qin Wuyang who was opposite him calmly.

Thinking back just now that Qin Wuyang spoke to Yang Duanhe without fear of sensuality, Jing Ke felt more at ease.

Although Qin Wuyang was young, he not only dared to kill people, in Yan State, Qin Wuyang was so vicious that ordinary people dare not even look at him, and now he can speak calmly in front of Qin State veteran Yang Duanhe.

With all these performances, Jing Ke was finally relieved.

Qin Wuyang deserved to be the empress of Yan State, with such courage, no wonder Yan Dan specially asked Qin Wuyang to be his deputy.

With Qin Wuyang around, it is not difficult to assassinate Ying Zheng this time!
"My lord, the county lieutenant has arrived!"

A servant hurriedly walked into the main hall, and then, under the watchful eyes of Jing Ke and the other four, came to the hall to report to Yang Duan and Bao.

When Jing Ke heard the servant's words, his mind was refreshed, and he turned his head slightly to look outside the main hall.

At this moment, in Jing Ke's mind, he thought back to when he was in Yan State, Yan Dan said that if possible, it would be best to assassinate Qin General Bai Yan in Xianyang of Qin State this time.

Shi ①Jing Ke is an unlucky guy who met Qin Wuyang as his deputy.
