Qin Gong

Chapter 390 Seeing Lu Sheng, the news of the jade pendant has been sent to Qi State.

Xia Wuqiu followed the servants to the main hall, and when he saw Bai Yan who had woken up, he was also surprised. When he was preparing the ceremony, he looked around calmly, as if he didn't see anything, and his expression was a little disappointed.

Under Bai Yu's gaze, Xia Wuqiu took Bai Yan's pulse to make a diagnosis, and after a few breaths, he withdrew his hand.

"Ms. Xu's medical skills are indeed superb. Now, the poison in General Bai Yan's body is no longer a serious problem. The only thing he needs is weakness. He can recuperate for a month or so!"

Xia Wuqie cupped his hands to Bai Yan and said, both inside and outside the words revealed his admiration for Master Xu.

"There's Dr. Rausch!"

Bai Yan cupped his hands in return.

In the main hall, Xia Wuqiu saw Bai Yan woke up and learned that Master Xu had gone to rest, so he got up to bid farewell to Bai Yan and Bai Yu, saying that he wanted to rush back to the palace to report to the king.

Seeing this, Bai Yan and Bai Yu didn't hold back too much.

After early morning.

Bai Yan and Bai Yu had breakfast, and a man came to the door, Bai Yan was a little surprised.

Later, under Bai Yu's introduction, Bai Yan looked at the man who came to visit, and then realized that the man in front of him was Hu Wujing, the second son of Hu Lao, and the younger brother of General Hu Jin.

"Bai Yan, meet Master Hu!"

Bai Yan looked at the man in front of him with a beard but full of Confucian demeanor, and slowly complied.

"It's no wonder that brother often writes praises in letters! When I first met General Bai Yan, I was really different from ordinary people!"

Hu Wujing looked at the boy he met for the first time, smiled and raised his hand to return the salute.

Although the young man is weak, but he speaks and behaves respectfully and politely, which makes it hard for Hu Wujing not to have a good impression of this young man whom he met for the first time.

What's more, my elder brother often writes in letters, praising the young man in front of him.

"You don't have to be polite with this kid, sit down!"

After Bai Yu introduced Bai Yan, seeing that the compilation ceremony was over, he said to Hu Wujing, asking Hu Wujing to come and sit down.

At this time, Hu Wujing also handed over the herbal package in his hand to the maid at the side.

Seeing this, Bai Yan naturally understood why, raised his hand, and saluted Hu Wu slowly again.

After Hu Wujing returned the salute, he followed Bai Yu to a wooden table and sat down.

The conversation that followed did not discuss any major issues, but it was just a guess as to whether Mengshi would be implicated. After all, Meng Jia almost helped Yan envoy Jing Ke to assassinate Jing Ke that day whether intentionally or not.

When it came to the assassination of Ying Zheng, Hu Wujing couldn't help looking at Bai Yan. Although he was not in the Xianyang court that day, he knew the danger of that day from the words of Bai Yu and the outside world.

Afterwards, Bai Yan almost lost his life because of the assassination.

"My lord, outside the mansion, the gentleman of the Lu family, Lu Sheng, please see me!"

Half an hour later, a servant came in and reported to Bai Yu.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu nodded to the servant.

"When did you have such a close relationship with Na Lu's Lu Sheng? Ever since you fell into a coma, Na Lu Sheng came to visit the mansion every day, and the expensive herbs he sent filled a room!"

Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan and told what had happened in the past few days. After all, he knew that Bai Yan had been lying in bed in a coma for the past few days and didn't know anything.

While talking, Bai Yu was also very curious. He didn't expect Bai Yan to have such a good relationship with Lu Sheng, the eldest son of the Lu family. Money is hard to find.

"Lu Sheng!"

Bai Yan was very surprised when he heard his uncle Bai Yu's words. He never thought that Lu Sheng would visit him in Bai Yu's mansion when he was in a coma.

In other words, Lu Sheng already knew that he was Bai Yan.

"Uncle, Lu Sheng is my good friend, so I will go out with my servant."

Bai Yan thought for a while, and said to Bai Yu Jili.

Then he looked sideways at Hu Wujing who was behind the opposite wooden table, and slowly complied, expressing his excuse.

Hu Wujing and Bai Yu both nodded.

Since Bai Yan said he was a good friend, then just because Lu Sheng sent so many expensive things when Bai Yan was unconscious, this kind of friendship is indeed enough for Bai Yan to greet him in person.

"Go!"

Bai Yu said to Bai Yan.

It's just going to the gate of the mansion. Whether it's Miss Xu or Xia Wuqiu, they have confirmed that the poison in Bai Yan's body has been removed, so he should be fine right now. After sleeping for three days, it's good to move around.

Under the watchful eyes of Bai Yu and Hu Wujing, Bai Yan nodded, then slowly got up, and followed the servants towards the outside of the main hall.

Outside Bai Yu's mansion.

Lu Sheng was holding bags of herbs in both hands, and his hands were full, which was particularly eye-catching.

At this moment, Lu Sheng watched Lu's carriage slowly stop not far away, and turned his head to look at the mansion in front of him, full of anxiety.

Recalling that day when he learned in the palace that the envoy of Yan State was actually an assassin, Lu Sheng was shocked. He never thought that Yan State would dare to assassinate King Qin Yingzheng in the name of offering pictures. Later, it was heard that the assassination failed. , Lu Sheng's first reaction was that after this incident, if Yan State had no reinforcements from other countries, it might be in danger of subjugation.

Later, when he learned the reason why the envoy Yan's assassination failed and Bai Yan was in a coma due to poisoning, Lu Sheng drove to General Bai Yu's mansion immediately by car to visit.

Also in this mansion, among many people that day, Lu Sheng stood in the room with his own eyes, saw the famous Qin general Bai Yan with his own eyes, and saw a very familiar but 'unfamiliar' boy sleeping on a wooden bed .

Yan, it's really Bai Yan.

When he saw it with his own eyes, Lu Sheng stood in a daze in the room with a dazed expression on his face.

"I don't know if Yan has woken up!"

Lu Sheng looked at the gate of the mansion and thought to himself.

At this moment, Lu Sheng saw a figure appearing inside the gate, and Lu Sheng hurried forward. Just as Lu Sheng was about to ask, he suddenly saw a maid supporting a young man appearing in front of him.

In an instant, when he saw the young man with his own eyes again, Lu Sheng still couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment, and after regaining his senses, he hurried forward excitedly.

"Bai Yan, I met Mr. Lu!"

When Bai Yan saw Lu Sheng, he didn't let the maid help him any more, and slowly bowed to Lu Sheng.

"Lu Sheng, I have met General Bai!"

When Lu Sheng saw Bai Yan compiling the salute, he quickly cupped his hands to return the salute, but the herbs in his hands made Lu Sheng unable to compose the salute, so he had to put it on the ground first, and return the salute to Bai Yan again.

"Please!"

Bai Yan looked at the bags of herbs, and looked at Lu Sheng dumbfounded. Some ginseng's whiskers were protruding, and one could tell that the age must be quite high.

Thinking of Bai Yu's words, seeing these herbs now, Bai Yan did not refuse, but made a gesture of invitation to Lu Sheng.

"Thank you! Please!"

Seeing Bai Yan's appearance, Lu Sheng was very happy.

Lu Sheng, who grew up as a businessman under his father's cultivation and had contact with many people, couldn't tell that Bai Yan didn't blame him for what happened in the restaurant that day, at least he didn't blame him.

Seeing Bai Yan's frail appearance in front of him but still coming to the gate to welcome him, Lu Sheng was moved in his heart, the worries in the past disappeared and replaced by indescribable joy.

It is said that the kindness of helping the poor is not in the heart, and the random actions of the rich can make people feel grateful. This sentence is not false at all.

In the usual way, if Bai Yan's identity was not known by Lu Sheng, let alone Bai Yan came to the gate to greet Lu Sheng when he learned of Lu Sheng's visit, it is estimated that even if Bai Yan helped Lu Sheng with some small things, it would be taken for granted and would not be taken for granted. Lu Sheng took it to heart.

But right now, as Lu Sheng knew about Yan in the past, it was Qin General Bai Yan, Qin Guozuo Geng, and Yanmen County Captain.

Seeing that Bai Yan was weak now, but still came to the gate of the mansion to welcome him, Lu Sheng was deeply moved. The urge to sacrifice his heart and soul for Bai Yan occupied Lu Sheng's heart.

"It's work!"

Seeing the servant of the mansion picking up the herbs, Lu Sheng was full of joy, and even bowed to the servant, and then saw the servant bowing and nodding humbly, then turned around, followed Bai Yan who was supported by the maid, and walked towards the inside of the mansion. go.

inside the mansion.

In the corridor, I looked at the flowers and green trees in the yard next to me.

"Is Lu Qi in Xianyang?"

Bai Yan was supported by the maid, chatting with Lu Sheng.

He said he was asking if he was in Xianyang, but in fact Bai Yan knew that if Lu Qi was really in Xianyang, then Lu Sheng was not the only one who came to visit the mansion.

But asking this way is also to make Lu Sheng not so nervous.

"My younger brother heard that he went to Qi country some time ago!"

Lu Sheng walked slowly with Bai Yan, and said softly.

"Now the family's businesses involving Yingchuan and Qi are all taken care of by Lu Qi!"

Lu Sheng explained.

"Qi country!"

Bai Yan nodded when he heard Lu Sheng's words.

Just now when Master Xu saw Bai Yan woke up, he didn't specifically tell Bai Yan about Lu Sheng. Bai Yan knew that it was obviously that Lu Sheng didn't know the identity of Xu Master's disciple of Bian Que.

Think about it, too, not to mention that there were a lot of people visiting that day, and that it was already very late when Lu Sheng came to the mansion after hearing the news. Uncle Bai Yu and aunt Lu Shi have both bluntly said that it is best for Master Xu that Bian Que's disciple His identity is not known to outsiders, so he can take precautions before they happen.

With these reasons, it is not surprising that Lu Sheng still does not know the identity of Master Xu.

But say it.

It was thanks to Lu Sheng that Bai Yan could meet Master Xu.

"Mr. Lu is thoughtful, go to Yanmen to do business?"

While walking, Bai Yan turned his head, looked at Lu Sheng and asked.

Regarding what happened in the restaurant that day, Bai Yan knew that it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Without knowing him, Lu Sheng's choice is understandable.

It may be difficult for Lu Sheng to achieve great things, but fortunately, Lu Sheng is not bad as a person.

In addition to Master Xu's reasons, and Yanmen's need to cultivate gentry forces, Bai Yan took the opportunity to ask Lu Sheng if he wanted to go to Yanmen.

Now that many noble families in Yanmen have been emptied, not only the people need merchants, but also the entire Yanmen needs many merchants. If Lu Sheng goes, it will be good for the people, Yanmen, and even him and Lu Sheng.

"Yes, yes!!"

When Lu Sheng heard Bai Yan's words, he stepped forward excitedly and bowed to Bai Yan.

Hearing Bai Yan's words at this moment, Lu Sheng felt like he was about to cry. Seeing that Bai Yan didn't care about the restaurant at all, Lu Sheng was completely convinced.

Soon, the two came to the gazebo.

Watching the maid serving tea, Bai Yan talked to Lu Sheng about Gan Si, and asked Lu Sheng if he knew from Gan Si that he was Bai Yan.

Lu Sheng didn't hide it either, he told all about it.

At the end, Lu Sheng bowed to Bai Yan full of shame.

"Speaking of which, Lu Sheng is ashamed. He was worried that Zuo Geng would blame Lu Sheng for talking nonsense after drinking, so he sent a letter to the State of Qi, asking Feiyan to speak well for Lu Sheng."

When Lu Sheng said this, his face was flushed with shame, and he looked at Bai Yan, full of self-blame.

For what happened in the restaurant back then, Lu Sheng has been reflecting, regretting, and blaming himself for a while.

"Non-smoking?"

Bai Yan sat on his knees by the wooden table in the gazebo. When he heard Lu Sheng's words, he looked surprised, then shook his head with a smile.

"What's wrong with Lu Junzi? It was Bai Yan who concealed his identity in the past, and this matter was caused by Bai Yan!"

Bai Yan bowed to Lu Sheng, looked at the ashamed Lu Sheng, and bluntly said that if he was really at fault for that incident, it was Bai Yan who concealed his identity first, which led to what happened next.

talking room.

Bai Yan picked up the wooden cup that had just been poured with tea leaves on the wooden table, raised both hands, and signaled to Lu Sheng to replace wine with tea.

Seeing this, Lu Sheng quickly picked up the wooden cup and greeted Bai Yan.

After drinking a cup of tea, although Lu Sheng was young, he could feel that Bai Yan was trying to comfort him not to worry about the restaurant.

However, Lu Sheng still had a question in his mind.

"Lu Sheng still has one doubt. What is the relationship between Zuo Geng and his outer cousin Tian, ​​Feiyan?"

Lu Sheng thought about it, looked at Bai Yan, and finally raised his hand to ask.

This question is also the doubt that has always been in Lu Sheng's mind during this time. Bai Yan is obviously a child of the Bai family, why does he have a cousin's jade pendant, and because he explained the jade pendant before, he pretended to be a member of Qi.

Bai Yan of the Bai family of Qin State and Tian Feiyan of Tian Fu of Qi State, these two people who can't fight together, why do they meet.

"It's a long story, but Bai Yan also hopes that Lu Junzi can keep this matter a secret. After all, Bai Yan is now a general of Qin, not Yan's biological father, but a minister of Qi!"

When Bai Yan heard Lu Sheng's question, he didn't explain, but hoped that Lu Sheng could keep this matter a secret.

But as soon as Bai Yan finished speaking, he saw Lu Sheng's panicked expression and regretful eyes.

"Lu Junzi"

Bai Yan looked at Lu Sheng full of doubts, not understanding why Lu Sheng had such an expression.

"Before Lu Sheng sent someone to deliver the letter, he ordered someone to send it to Uncle Tian Ding, and Tian Ding sent it to Feiyan!"

Listening to Bai Yan's words just now, Lu Sheng revealed that he hoped that even Tian Ding would not be informed about the jade pendant.

At this moment, Lu Sheng's heart was full of regret.

Previously, because he was too panicked and afraid of losing the only chance to make friends with Bai Yan, he was very worried that his cousin Tian Feiyan would not help him. After all, he was not familiar with Tian Feiyan and did not come to the door in person.

So in the letter, I begged my uncle Tian Ding to help.

Because of this, Uncle Tian Ding will definitely know about the jade pendant in a short time! ! !

"Already sent a letter."

Bai Yan frowned slightly when he heard Lu Sheng's words.

The jade pendant in his hand is the jade pendant given to his daughter Tian Feiyan by Tian Ding's late wife, Lu Shi. If Tian Ding knew that the jade pendant was in the hands of Bai Yan, the Bai family of Qin State, as long as Lu Sheng didn't tell the time, Tian Ding's first reaction would be to think of it. It was the time Tian Cong took Tian Feiyan to Yanmen Shanwu City before.

"The jade pendant is a relic of Tian Ding's deceased wife Lu's family. It is related to Feiyan. Can Lu Junzi tell Bai Yan the contents of the letter?"

Bai Yan didn't show any panic, looked up at Lu Sheng, and softly asked about the contents of the letter.

Lu Sheng, who looked regretful, knelt behind the wooden table and nodded immediately when he heard Bai Yan's words. He didn't hide anything from Bai Yan, and said the contents of the letter verbatim.

At this moment in Lu Sheng's heart, if he knew that Bai Yan didn't care about the restaurant at the time, he would not order someone to send a letter all the way to Qi Guotian Mansion no matter what he said.

At this moment, Lu Sheng wanted to cry. How could it be a coincidence that he did another thing that would annoy Bai Yan.

Inside the gazebo.

Bai Yan was quietly relieved when he heard the contents of Lu Sheng's letter.

As long as he doesn't mention the specific time, Tian Ding will not think that Bai Yan is the person who was driven out of Qi by Tian Ding at the beginning, the son of the couple who lived in the water village.

noon.

"It won't be long before the assassination of the king will spread all over the world. The king is furious and wants to destroy Yan. Maybe the state of Chu won't be worried, but the states of Wei and Qi will definitely be panicked. After all, the state of Qi is close to the state of Yan, and the army of the state of Qin will pass by from the north of the state of Wei."

Bai Yu and Hu Wujing talked while drinking.

Although he no longer leads the army, Bai Yu naturally has to be aware of the situation in the world.

Hu Wujing is not good at leading troops, so Bai Yu naturally wouldn't talk to Hu Wujing about the upcoming war between Qin and Yan.

"Wei and Qi will definitely send important ministers here!"

Hu Wujing nodded after hearing Bai Yu's analysis. Hu Wujing didn't know much about Wei State, but he still knew very well about Qi State.

After all, when he was young, Hu Wujing made a lot of contacts in the Jixia Academy, and he naturally knew the officials of the Qi State, and his understanding of the court of the Qi State was no exaggeration, even as good as that of the Qin State.

"The envoys of the Qi State this time are likely to be relatives of the King of Qi, and because of their high position and authority, Tian Ding should not come, but I heard that Tian Cong, the eldest son of Tian Ding, has been promoted to Doctor Qi in the past two years."

Hu Wujing put his hands forward, knelt behind the wooden table, and analyzed thoughtfully.

"Tian Cong, it should be one of them!"

Hu Wujing knew that Tian Ding's position in Qi State was unusual, with seniority, status and the blood of the Qi royal family, if there were no important matters, he would never leave Qi State rashly.

Therefore, the envoy of Qi State on this trip must not be Tian Ding.

However, Tian Ding and Qi Xiang Housheng have never dealt with each other, and they will definitely not still come to Qin.

Then the result of the calculation is his eldest son Tian Cong.

Inside the main hall.

Bai Yu nodded slowly when he heard Hu Wujing's words.

But before Bai Yu could say anything, a servant ran into the lobby in a panic. His flustered appearance showed that something was urgent.

But in the eyes of Bai Yu and Hu Wujing.

The servant came to the lobby and saluted Bai Yu.

"My lord, the king has come to the mansion!!"

The servant reported out of breath, his eyes were full of shock, he followed Bai Yu for more than ten years, and he came to this mansion for nearly ten years, and it was the first time he saw King Qin Yingzheng come to this mansion.

That is the only king of Qin!
"Go down and order people to prepare to meet the king immediately!"

Hearing what the servant said, Bai Yu quickly ordered.

"promise!"

Hearing this, the servant quickly bowed his hands to accept the order, turned around and left in a hurry.

Hu Wujing looked away from the servant at this time.

"Your Majesty is indeed here!"

Hu Wujing said with emotion, just now he and Bai Yu guessed that after Xia Wuqie returned to the palace to report, the king would definitely come.

but
"Yes!"

Bai Yu looked at Hu Wujing, smiled wryly, his face was full of emotion like Hu Wujing's, nodded slowly, and turned his head to look outside the lobby.

It's not long before the time for all the officials in the palace to go down!

Obviously, the king didn't even deal with important matters after he came down from court.
