Qin Gong

Chapter 383 Arrival in Xianyang
Two days later.

Jing Ke and his party set off from Yan State, and the county captain Bai Yan set off from Yanmen, traveled along the road and finally arrived at Xianyang, the capital of Qin State.

Because I ordered people to report in advance, at the Xianyang city gate, there are already many visitors wearing Qin official uniforms, waiting at the city gate.

Seeing the arrival of Bai Yan and his party, all the audience stood up straight.

After the carriage stopped.

Under the gaze of many Qin officials and palace guards at the city gate.

Bai Yan, who was driving in front, got out of the carriage first, and then got off the carriage.

Bai Yan was not surprised to see that among the guests who came to greet the envoys of the Yan Kingdom, the leader was Han Yezhe who had met several times before, and Bai Yan was not surprised. Han Yezhe's seniority in the Xianyang Palace far exceeded other People, coupled with Yingzheng's trust, it is normal for Han Yezhe to lead other people to meet the envoys this time.

"Korean visitor!"

Bai Yan stepped forward in small steps, bowing his hands to the Han audience.

"This time there is General Labor White!"

Han Yezhe slowly saluted Bai Yan.

At this time, Bai Yan looked at Jing Ke's group who came down from the carriage, and did not talk to Han Yezhe about the past.

"Look, they seem to be envoys from the Kingdom of Yan!"

"Yes, why did the envoys of the Yan Kingdom come to Xianyang suddenly?"

"I don't know! I heard that the eldest son of Prime Minister You was killed in Chu State a few days ago, and now the envoys of Yan State have come to Qin State again. A lot of big things have happened recently!"

Outside the city gate, the scholars who went in and out of the city gate did not dare to approach Han Yezhe and others when they saw Han Yezhe and others, but when they saw Jing Ke and others, they all looked at each other and started discussing in low voices.

Recently, the killing of the eldest son of Prime Minister Chang Ping caused a sensation in Xianyang City. There were people talking about it everywhere. Everyone was guessing who had the guts.

Will Qin and Chu fight over this incident?

Today Yan Guo sent another envoy.

I don't know why again.

"Yan envoy Jing Ke!"

Holding the scepter in hand, Jing Ke led Qin Wuyang and two Yan officials from the horse-drawn carriage, stepped forward to the Han Yezhe, and bowed his hands to salute.

"Meet the envoy Yan!"

When the Han guest saw Jing Ke, he bowed his hands and returned the gift, not daring to be negligent. The envoys from the Yan State came to discuss the peace, and offered the land of the Yan State and Fan Yuqi's head. They are indeed valuable guests of the Qin State. Dare to be rude.

However, Han Yezhe couldn't help showing surprise when he saw Jing Ke behind him, the young man in Yan Guo's uniform, and saw his red, swollen and blackened cheeks.

Thinking back to yesterday when the king saw the bamboo slips sent by Hangu Pass in his study, he suddenly laughed and said 'this Bai Yan'.

At that time, Han Yezhe didn't understand why the king looked at the bamboo slips and laughed, and said Bai Yan's name.

until now.

Seeing the appearance of this young Deputy Envoy of the State of Yan, Han Yezhe vaguely guessed that the appearance of the Deputy Envoy of the State of Yan was probably inseparable from General Bai.

Although it is not clear what happened between Yan Guo's deputy envoy and General Bai at Hangu Pass.

But now that the envoy of Yan and General Bai are living in peace, and the appearance of the king yesterday did not mean to blame him at all, Han Yezhe naturally would not open his mouth to ask.

"This time, Jing Ke is escorted by General Lao Bai!"

After Jing Ke complied with Han Yezhe, he turned to look at Bai Yan who was at the side, and clapped his hands gratefully to compose the salute.

Looking at Bai Yan in front of him.

Jing Ke's heart is actually very complicated. At the beginning, his impression of Bai Yan has always been in the rumors, from the iron-blooded wrist of Gaonu in Shangjun, and the battle between Qin and Zhao and Li Mu later, to the vigorous and resolute handling of all the criminals in Zhaodi. .

For a long time, in Jing Ke's heart, Bai Yan was an indifferent general of Qin who liked to kill.

Just like the rumors, those Confucian scholars and scholars judged Bai Yan, Jing Ke also had a feeling of disgust for Bai Yan in his heart, and he wished to get rid of him when he was in Yan Kingdom.

That's why after Young Master Dan spoke, he agreed to kill Bai Yan for Young Master Dan without hesitation.

However, after meeting Bai Yan along the way, Jing Ke's perception of Bai Yan has begun to change.

What caught Jing Ke's eyes from the scenes he saw in the cities and towns passing through Yanmen was that compared with those Zhao land forces and scholars who claimed to love the people, the people of Yanmen were actually recuperating and working hard. , can solve food and clothing.

When I passed through Daidi, I saw people who were starved of food by the side of the road, scenes of empty villages, and dead bodies by the side of the road.

These are things Jing Ke has never seen since entering Yanmen.

It was only after Jing Ke entered Yanmen that he gradually understood why on the way Daidi went to Yanmen, he always saw that the people would rather risk death than migrate to Yanmen secretly.

And then came all the way from Yanmen to Xianyang.

Jing Ke had seen the young Bai Yan, who took Qin Qi to pay homage to Gao Nu, and also seen the gentlemanly appearance of Bai Yan when he treated ordinary soldiers on the city wall of Hangu Pass at dusk.

These are all more affectionate, righteous, and gentlemen than those scholars Jing Ke has met.

It also made Jing Ke understand how absurd those rumors about Bai Yan in Yan Kingdom were spread widely.

Ask yourself.

Jing Ke, who was born as a knight-errant and traveled all over the world, if he hadn't promised Gongzi Dan, if he hadn't known that Bai Yan's threat to the Yan Kingdom was too great, he would have been unwilling to assassinate such a gentleman.

pity.

People have a heart of loyalty.

Jing Ke promised Gongzi Dan, but he was unwilling to disappoint Yan Guo.

So even though he admires Bai Yan very much, no matter what this time, in Xianyang Hall, he still wants to kill Bai Yan for Young Master Dan, in order to repay the kindness of Young Master Dan of Yan State.

"It's okay!"

Seeing Jing Ke bowing to him, Bai Yan slowly raised his hand.

"Since the envoy of Yan has arrived in Xianyang, the envoy of Yan will be led by Han Ye to the residence for training!"

After the ceremony, Bai Yan looked at Jing Ke and said.

"It's work."

Jing Ke nodded and looked at Bai Yan.

He sighed in his heart, thinking that he would be separated from Bai Yan next time, and the next time he met would be in Xianyang Palace, and he would kill Bai Yan at that time.

thought here.

Jing Ke took a step back, and solemnly greeted Bai Yanji again.

"See you in the palace someday!"

Jing Ke said.

"Goodbye!"

Seeing this, Bai Yan took a step back, raised his hand, and saluted Jing Ke seriously.

A few breaths later, after Bai Yan and Jing Ke finished the salute, they watched Yan Guo's carriage circle around the cavalry and slowly drive up. Jing Ke turned around and led Qin Wuyang and others into the carriage.

Bai Yan stood on the spot and glanced at Qin Wuyang.

Coincidentally, Qin Wuyang, who was following Jing Ke and was about to get into the carriage, also looked at Bai Yan. Seeing Bai Yan's gaze for a moment, Qin Wuyang turned his head nervously, and climbed into the carriage much more quickly.

Seeing this, Bai Yan turned his head, bowed to Han Ye, indicating the next thing to do, and there will be trouble for Han Ye.

Han Yezhe looked at Bai Yan, bowed his hands and returned the gift, waited for Jing Ke and others to get back in the carriage, said goodbye to Bai Yan, turned around and took the palace carriage, and led Jing Ke and his party into Xianyang City.

"General!"

Gui led the horse, and slowly came behind Bai Yan, looking at the carriage of the envoy of Yan State.

Fang Caigui naturally also saw Qin Wuyang's frightened appearance, and when he thought of it, he wanted to laugh. Qin Wuyang looked down on everyone along the way, and even the general didn't pay attention to him. anger.

It's a pity that when they were going to settle down in the camp at Hangu Pass, they didn't see the general slap Qin Wuyang's cheek with a wooden sword. Hearing that Qin Wuyang used a real sword behind him, he was knocked unconscious by the general.

Thinking about it, Gui couldn't help saying happily.

Although his background was not as good as Qin Wuyang's, Gui looked down on Qin Wuyang, a son of a noble family, from the bottom of his heart.

If a disciple of the gentry of the Yan Kingdom was placed on the battlefield with such arrogance, he might not even know how he died in the end.

These two days the soldiers were talking about it, it was because the general had a good temper, if it was them, Qin Wuyang dared to snatch the real sword after losing in the wooden sword competition, even if they traded their lives for their lives, they would definitely kill Qin Wuyang.

"Take the soldiers to rest first!"

under the city gate.

Bai Yan watched the carriage of Yan Guo Jing Ke and others enter Xianyang City, turned around, and ordered Gui to take the soldiers to rest.

"promise!"

Gui bowed his hands to Bai Yan to accept the order, then turned around and led the horse away.
