Qin Gong

nightfall.

In Bai Yu's mansion, Bai Yan, who hadn't rested since waking up, finally breathed a sigh of relief after Ying Kan left.

After Song Yingkan left, he and Bai Yu went back to the main hall, just before entering, Bai Yan saw Bai Zhong and others.

"Father!"

As a member of the Bai clan, Bai Yu immediately stepped forward to make a ceremony when he saw Bai Zhong.

Bai Zhong nodded, and then, together with Uncle Bai, Bai Yan and others, looked at the young man behind Bai Yu.

Not to mention Bai Zhong, Bai Uncle, Bai Yan and others with complex eyes at this moment, it is the two sisters Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue who look at the young man at this moment, and their eyes are a little at a loss.

He changed his name to Bai Yan from a descendant of a poor family.

They watched with their own eyes that the young man agreed to retire, and then joined the army. In the past two years, step by step, he grew from a soldier, relying on his achievements in battles, to the general he is today, and became a general of the Qin State. .

And now.

They finally understood that the young man was not a son of a down-and-out scholar at all.

Not at the beginning, although I don't understand why the young man knows so many things about Zou, but the only thing that is certain is that the young man is not Zou Xing at all.

Among the sisters, Bai Yingxue, who is the younger sister, looked at the young man curiously at this moment. The scenes of martial arts competition with the young man in the Bai family back then came to mind, and her heart was full of doubts. Who is this young man in front of him?Since it wasn't Zou Xing, then it would be based on the martial arts shown by the young man and the ability to lead troops in battle.

Based on what she learned, Bai Yingxue guessed, she had a hunch that although this young man was not Zou Xing, he must have come from another famous family, and he must have encountered something and was forced to hide it just now.

This can also explain why the young man happily agreed to break off the engagement with his eldest sister!
It must be that he was taught by his elders when he was living in the gentry, so that although the young man was down and out, he still maintained the style of a gentleman.

Otherwise, how could it be possible for someone else to agree so easily when seeing the eldest sister while pretending to be a fake?

It must be so!

Accompanied by the thoughts in her heart, Bai Yingxue is standing behind Bai Yan at this moment, looking at the boy who humbly gave in to her when she was competing with swords, and found that she gave in to her when she did bad things. Following the analysis, Bai Yingxue has already imagined the boy who met her when she was young. Unexpected changes, and finally had to be forced to come to the scene of Qin.

Inside the main hall.

Under the watchful eyes of Bai Zhong and the others, after Bai Yu finished compiling the ceremony, Bai Yan slowly took a step forward.

"Goodbye Bai Lao!"

In full view of everyone, Bai Yan stood beside Bai Yu, raised his hand, and bowed to Bai Zhongji.

When the voice sounded, Bai Yan was even ready to be questioned and even ridiculed, but to Bai Yan's surprise, Bai Zhong nodded slowly after seeing him make a ceremony.

"Bai Yan, you are injured, so you don't need to be polite."

With a slight smile, Bai Zhong said softly as if looking at a junior.

Hearing this, Bai Yan was very surprised, and slowly raised his head to look at Bai Zhong, from the word Bai Yan in Bai Zhong's words just now!It's not difficult for Bai Yan to hear that the Bai family doesn't mind letting him continue to appear in the eyes of the world under the Bai family name.

thought here.

Bai Yan looked at Uncle Bai, Bai Ping and his son calmly, saw the kind eyes of the father and son, and then also saw Bai Yan's melancholy face, which seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but whether there was any expression of objection, Bai Yan seemed Guess what.

Dinner is naturally at Bai's.

The things that Bai Yan guessed before did not happen, and he should still eat and drink.

Due to Bai Yan's injury, it was a little inconvenient, after Bai Yu ordered him to eat something, he got up to rest.

And with the night.

Seeing Bai Yingxue who had been silent after Bai Yan left, she finally couldn't bear it and looked at the eldest sister beside her.

"Sister, I suddenly thought of something!"

Bai Yingxue said softly.

Bai Junzhu, who had been distracted tonight, heard what the little girl said, and instinctively turned his head to look at Bai Yingxue.

Under Bai Junzhu's gaze, Bai Yingxue whispered the things and guesses that suddenly came to her mind just now, with the intention of enlightening her eldest sister Bai Junzhu, hoping that her elder sister would not be so sad. Although she doesn't know the origin of that boy right now, she is definitely better than Zou Xing not bad.

After finishing speaking, Bai Yingxue blinked her brows and eyes, and looked at her elder sister with a watery look. Originally, Bai Yingxue thought that after she finished speaking, her elder sister would be surprised, but then she looked at her in surprise, even her father and mother were surprised. Will suddenly realize.

But right now.

Bai Yingxue suddenly found out why the eldest sister didn't look surprised at all.

How is this going?

Bai Yingxue was a little confused.

But in Bai Yingxue's puzzled eyes, Bai Junzhu glanced at his father, uncle and others not far away.

"Father, they have already guessed! So."

Bai Junzhu said, looking at his little sister Bai Yingxue's expression full of impossibility, before Bai Junzhu had time to explain, he heard his mother's voice.

"Jun Zhu, the medicinal soup is ready, go and deliver it to him!"

Mrs. Xue instructed, and after she finished speaking, she asked the maid who had just come over to take Bai Junzhu to get the soup.

After Bai Junzhu glanced at his mother, he saw the little girl's startled pretty face, and without any further explanation, he stood up gently.

In the dark.

Bai Yan returned to the room, saw the maid who lit the candles leave, and not long after kneeling in front of the wooden table, she heard a knock on the door.

When Bai Yan opened the door, he saw that standing outside the door was Bai Junzhu.

"Mother asked me to bring the medicinal soup!"

Bai Junzhu looked at the young man in front of him, lowered his head slightly, and said softly.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yan looked at the herbal soup in Bai Junzhu's hand.

"Thank you!"

Bai Yan cupped his hands in gratitude to Bai Junzhu, then turned slightly to let Bai Junzhu into the room.

The dim candle lights in the large room fluttered and swayed slightly with the breeze outside the door, which also made the walls in the room dim and bright.

wooden table.

Bai Junzhu was holding the wooden plate, bent down and placed it on the small table.

Under the dim candlelight, with the faint insects chirping outside the door, it was quiet. The atmosphere of a lonely man and a widow made Bai Junzhu a little nervous. Looking at the boy next to him, she didn't know his origin, even the boy's name.

Bai Junzhu, who was born in a noble family since he was a child, was very intelligent, and was admired by many scholars when he grew up. For the first time, he was not as stable as before, but was so nervous that he was a little at a loss, and quietly grabbed the hem of his clothes with his slender hands.

"I~ I have been to Qi State!"

Bai Junzhu lowered his head, not daring to look at the boy.

Even Bai Junzhu didn't know why he, who was praised by others for being generous and decent since he was a child, was full of panic at the moment.

When he said these words, it is no exaggeration to say that Bai Junzhu's courage was almost exhausted.

But thinking of the young man in front of him, Bai Junzhu didn't want to be ignorant, she was not other noble women, let alone anyone else, her name was Bai Junzhu.

inside the room.

Bai Yan looked at Bai Junzhu who lowered his head slightly, and naturally saw the nervous look of the little hand, and noticed the slightly red eyes.

"I'm not Zou Xing!"

Bai Yan said softly.

This is also a tacit agreement between Bai Yan and Bai Shi and others. The two sides will not talk about the topic. Just now in the main hall, Bai Yan also thought that he would not say this sentence and break the relationship.

However, looking at the woman in front of him, Bai Yan finally took the initiative to speak out.

With the sound.

Bai Junzhu, who had kept his head down, trembled for a moment, then slowly raised his head, looking at the young man in front of him.

Under Bai Junzhu's gaze, Bai Yan raised his hands, and slowly saluted Bai Junzhu.

"Now I have offended too many people in Qin, Miss Bai, please forgive me for not being able to tell the story to the girl!"

Bai Yanman said apologetically.

As for his identity, if he could, Bai Yan didn't want to keep concealing it like this, but right now, how could Bai Yan dare to speak out, so he could only choose to conceal it.

This sentence is not an excuse for Bai Yan.

"I know!"

When Bai Junzhu heard Bai Yan's words, he replied lightly.

She knew that if a boy could tell his history, he would tell it when he became a general, not to mention that his uncle had asked about it.

"I just want to know why you came to Qin!"

Bai Junzhu explained softly, then lowered his head.

Bai Junzhu thought of the young man who came to the Bai family two years ago, and recalled the divorce. She just wanted to know why the young man came to the Bai family, why he chose to pretend to be Zou Xing, and why he agreed to divorce her later.
inside the room.

Candles flickered.

Bai Yan looked at the anxious Bai Junzhu in front of him, and turned to look out the window.

"Because I promised my grandmother that General Feng Qingbai would go back and show her!"

Bai Yan said softly.

The light and fluffy words sounded in the quiet atmosphere, and in an instant, Bai Junzhu raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him blankly.

She didn't expect that the boy would really say it to her, let alone the first sentence, it was like this.

And it was also the first time for her to see the unprecedented tenderness and longing in the boy's eyes.

Three days later.

"Have you heard? Yingzheng granted Zuo Geng Baiyan a fiefdom! I heard it's Guanzhong Luoyin!"

"What? Luoyin? That Luoyin beside the Weishui River?"

"That's right, that's where it is, that Luoyin city where people must settle when transporting grain from the Wei River or doing business!"

"Hey! Have you heard about it? The envoys of the Yan Kingdom entered the palace a few days ago with a map of Yan!"

"."

"."

In Xianyang City, the news of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin caused a sensation in Xianyang. It has not been a few days, and before the people of Qin and the merchants and scholars from the six countries came back to their senses, the news that Ying Zheng rewarded Bai Yan's fiefdom came from nowhere. Passed out.

Everyone who heard the news immediately couldn't help but be jealous.

manor! !
This is a fief!As long as there is a piece of fiefdom, it is enough to be worry-free for a lifetime and enjoy prosperity and wealth.

And the fief that Yingzheng rewarded Bai Yan is actually a city with tens of thousands of food, and it is beside the Weishui River. As long as you have a brain, if you have been to Luoyin, you will know that although Luoyin City has fewer people, its business is no better than other cities. Big city is small.

thought here.

Everyone who heard the news knew clearly that with this fiefdom, Bai Yan would probably be rich and wealthy for the rest of his life! !
And until now, not to mention the Qin people, even the merchants and scholars from the Six Kingdoms who regretted the failure of Yan's assassination, who had been scolding Bai Yan for the past few days, but when they heard the news, they couldn't help but feel jealous, instinctively A thought came to mind, why it wasn't me who saved Yingzheng in the first place!

This is almost an idea that popped up instinctively in the minds of the dignitaries of the Six Kingdoms. Although they couldn't say it out loud, they couldn't help but think about it in their hearts.

That's a fief, a food town!

Even in other countries, apart from princes, grandchildren and clan relatives, how many people can have fiefdoms.

If Yingzheng's kindness to Bai Yan is used to treat himself and grant himself a land, let alone not saying that he is not against Qin, even if he asks the whole family to serve Qin together, he will not hesitate at all, and is willing to work for Qin.

such a pity!
The person Yingzheng gave the fief to was Bai Yan!

On the streets of Xianyang City.

Accompanied by the flow of people, the chants of vendors and the chatter of pedestrians, suddenly a carriage with a black flag with the character of Qin on it slowly appeared on the street, and there were people from the state of Qin holding Qin swords and crossbows all around. The soldiers looked around vigilantly.

"Who?"

"Don't push!!!"

Some scholars who were looking at the shops and roadside snacks turned their heads impatiently when they were pushed and pushed, and were about to reprimand them, but when they saw the cavalry appear, they immediately widened their eyes and immediately ignored the business , turned around and made way for the cavalry with the others.

Looking at the iron cavalry slowly passing by, the originally noisy street seemed to be silenced in an instant, only a few discussions were faintly heard.

"Which Qin minister is this? Do you know?"

"do not know!"

"Looking at it, it seems to be the Northern Garrison!"

"Northern Garrison? Could it be Qin General Xin Sheng?"

On the street, scholars and many ordinary people looked at the carriage escorted by the cavalry and discussed in private.

Many merchants who were doing business in the Qin State had already recognized those iron cavalry as the Qin Army stationed in the Northland.

And its chief general is the current general of Qin State, Xin Sheng.

In Bai Yu's mansion.

In the study room, Bai Yan knelt in front of the wooden table, looking at the bamboo slips in his hand.

Due to his physical injury, Bai Yan did not go to court during this period, and because the mansion ordered to be built before was still under construction, Bai Yu also said that the mansion where Bai Yan lived was too small, if he returned to that mansion, Just because there is not enough space to receive the visitors, it is better to stay here with peace of mind, and there are elders of the Bai family here, so there is no need to worry about being unable to get away for entertainment.

Bai Yan thought for a while, but did not refuse.

In fact, over the past few days, seeing those nobles who came to visit, Bai Yan was also glad that he obeyed Bai Yu's arrangement.

Ever since the news about Yingzheng rewarding the fief was spread, the people who came to visit the mansion never stopped from morning till night, and there was an endless stream. Many of them were rich families from all over the world and relatives of the Ying clan. Bo, Bai Yan and the others have been helping with the entertainment these few days, otherwise Bai Yan alone would not be able to keep busy.

"General, people are here!"

A young maid wearing Qin clothes came to Bai Yan and slowly saluted Bai Yan.

It is said to be a maid, but if this woman is placed outside, with her delicate appearance, I am afraid that she will be another beauty that many men admire.

Bai Yan in front of the wooden table heard the voice, looked at the beauty Ying Zheng bestowed on him, then turned his head to look at a man behind her.

Bai Junzhu, who was also kneeling behind a wooden table, quietly looking at the bamboo slips, Bai Yingxue, who was lying in front of the window, bored, and Xu Shi, who was behind Bai Yan, also looked at the man.

"Yan Xiao, meet the general!"

A man in his 40s, seeing Bai Yan's gaze, raised his hand to salute Bai Yan.

While talking, Yan Xiao looked at Bai Yan calmly, saw Master Xu in a black Qin suit, and the astonishing Bai Yingxue and Bai Junzhu. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. will be extremely satisfying.

As an old man of the Bai family, Yan Xiao knows some things that other people don't know, otherwise he wouldn't be called over right now, and Bai Yan ordered him to manage the food town in Luoyin.

That's why Xiao Xiao feels how much Bai Yan enjoys at this time.

"This time you go to Luoyin, you must remember the instructions. I have already asked people to prepare a hundred gold, so you don't have to worry about money."

Bai Yan got up, returned the courtesy to Yan Xiao, then looked at Yan Xiao in front of him, and whispered.

"promise!"

When Yan Xiao heard Bai Yan's words, he nodded and hurriedly bowed his hands to accept the order. After seeing that Bai Yan didn't have any instructions, he turned around and left.

Bai Yan looked at the back of Yan Xiao leaving.

Yingzheng rewarded him with Luoyin as a fiefdom, and Luoyin City is close to the Weishui River, a place that must pass through as a transportation hub, and there are many gentry in the city. ten.

Therefore, Bai Yan had a vague premonition that those people who had been secretly dissatisfied with him would probably use the matter of fiefdom to start secretly tripping him up.

Fortunately, Mengshi Mengjia has lost Yingzheng's trust because of Jing Ke's incident this time.

"You go down first!"

Bai Yan turned around and said to the maid.

"promise!"

When the young maid heard Bai Yan's words, her delicate body moved slowly, and she slowly complied.

Seeing the young man looking at the bamboo slips seriously, the woman's eyes were full of disappointment. When she knew that she was awarded to the famous Qin general Bai Yan together with other women, her eyes were full of curiosity and expectation, just like other women. , They are all competing in secret, imagining that if one day they can conceive an heir for Qin general Bai Yan, then there is no need to worry about the status and lifelong glory and wealth.

However, at this time, she, like other women, was in despair.

I have met a gentleman, but I have never seen such a gentleman. These days I am not socializing, but whenever I have free time, I am reading!

More importantly, she didn't understand why the two sisters of the Bai family stayed by the young man's side all day long. Are the clansmen so close?
I have a cold, a little fever, and my head is groggy.

Bai Junzhu will not be able to find out what Bai Yan told Bai Junzhu, and Bai Junzhu will not tell it, let alone investigate.

Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry.

It's too late to catch up on the manuscript, and the missing content will be filled in tomorrow with a knife!
