Qin Gong

After the maid and Yan Xiao left, the study returned to calm again.

Seeing that Bai Yan was about to write the bamboo slips, Master Xu obediently stepped forward and knelt down beside Bai Yan, stretching out his hand to gently rub the ink for Bai Yan on the wooden table.

Bai Yan is already used to it. After all, apart from going to the battlefield or going to some dangerous places, Master Xu will basically follow him, either serving tea or pouring water or studying ink. Bai Yan once said that Master Xu can not do these things, But Master Xu refused.

As time passed, Bai Yan also got used to being a poison master, and Master Xu who was once the signature of Lu's Restaurant, stayed by his side and studied ink for him.

And in the study.

Bai Yan is used to it, but some people don't like it.

The bored Bai Yingxue wanted to continue lying on the table in a daze, but when she saw this scene, she took a deep breath and looked up at the scene in shock.

Although Bai Yingxue knew that Miss Xu, who was Bian Que's disciple, was already following her brother-in-law-to-be, but she never expected the two to be so close and natural.

Looking at Miss Xu's pretty appearance.

Bai Yingxue turned her head and looked at the elder sister.

Bai Yingxue originally thought that the eldest sister would frown and feel a little bit of displeasure, but what she didn't expect was that when the eldest sister in Qin clothes saw this scene, she just glanced at it briefly, and then continued to look down at the bamboo slips.

At this moment, Bai Yingxue's mind is filled with countless doubts.

What is going on now? ? ?

"Miss Xu, didn't you say you want to read medical books? Yingxue has nothing to do, let Yingxue come!!"

Bai Yingxue looked at Eldest Sister's appearance, thought for a while, and always felt that Miss Xu was a threat, and she might compete with Eldest Sister for the position of wife, so worried, she plucked up her courage, looked at Master Xu, and said softly.

This sudden scene.

The other three people in the study were caught off guard, Bai Yan, Xu Shi, and even Bai Junzhu all looked at Bai Yingxue.

Master Xu seemed to sense something, smiled, did not refuse, and got up to make room for Bai Yingxue.

Bai Yan looked at Bai Yingxue hurriedly coming to his side with a strange expression on his face.

Looking at Bai Yingxue with her head down and her ears flushed, Bai Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, turned her head and held a brush, and continued to write about Luoyin City on the bamboo slips.

In Luoyin City, Bai Yan didn't send his servants to salute, but gave Bai's full power to take charge.

It's not that Bai Yan doesn't want to entrust the land, but after the Bai family is in charge, he can still get the tax revenue from Luoyin City, as well as own the power of the gentry in Luoyin City. After all, Luoyin City is his Bai Yan's fiefdom.

And the reason why people from the Bai family are used to manage it is to avoid danger. The fief is different from the jurisdiction of the authority. It is a solid private field. The word "private", once it is combined with the fief, it will be accompanied by danger.

Bai Yan also didn't know whether someone would report that he rebelled against Qin in the court hall on that day, or whether someone would secretly frame him.

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, Bai Yan used Bai's people to take care of it, so that if any bamboo slips that spread rumors and slandered him were presented to Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng would know immediately that the officials were slandering him, and there would be no trace of it. Suspect.

In a quiet room.

Bai Yingxue studied the ink, and then looked at the elder sister with a pretty guilty face.

Then Bai Yingxue discovered that although the elder sister was looking at the bamboo slips, she grew up with the elder sister since she was a child, so she didn't know that the elder sister was distracted.

"Sister, what's going on these days?"

Bai Yingxue was thinking, feeling a little worried, but no matter how much she asked, the eldest sister never told her.

thought here.

Bai Yingxue instinctively looked at the young man at the side, but when she saw the young man kneeling beside her, looking at the bamboo slips with a side face full of seriousness, and writing with her hand, Bai Yingxue was a little lost for a while.

The boy is not considered a handsome man, and he has been in the army all year round. Compared with the skin color of other gentry men, the boy's skin color is darker.

But thinking of a story about this young man that was circulated outside, Bai Yingxue knew that this young man was really attractive, not to mention other cities, that is, Yongcheng and Mei County around Pingyang, not to mention other unknown noble women, It was the gentry woman she knew with her eldest sister who had always dreamed of marrying the boy next to her.

They seemed to wish they could step on the Bai family's gate with the elders of the clan.

And the news of getting the fief this time spread, it is estimated that there will be more in the future.

Bai Yingxue thought about it, and after a long time, she didn't know what she thought of, her heart suddenly bumped like a deer, and after recovering, she hurriedly glanced nervously at Eldest Sister and Master Xu, seeing that no one noticed her appearance just now, and then He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly concentrated on studying ink.

"General! General Xin Sheng came to visit and said he was returning the horse to the general!"

Bai Yan's confidant, Wu Huai, walked into the study from outside the door, and came to Bai Yan to compose a speech.

Wu Huai used to be a part of Ye, and he followed Ye to protect Bai Yan, and then Ye, Huai, and Peck were entrusted with important tasks by Bai Yan one after another. That desperate ruthlessness has always reassured Ye and Bai Yan.

Previously in Yanmen, Wu Huai followed Bai Yan back and forth.

"General Xin Sheng?"

Bai Yan was surprised when he heard Wu Huai's words, and then slowly got up under the watchful eyes of Bai Yingxue and Bai Junzhu.

However, when Bai Yan walked out of the study room, he saw a man walking with Bai Yu from the yard in the corridor not far away. Behind the man, several cavalry officers and soldiers were leading a war horse.

inside the yard.

Bai Yu and Xin Sheng were walking while talking.

In the past two days, Bai Yu already knew that the king had appointed general Wang Jian as the chief general, Xin Sheng as the deputy general, and Li Xin, Qiang Yan and other generals as followers. He was going to lead additional troops to Yishui. Command the Yishui garrison and prepare to destroy Yan.

Among the reinforcements were garrisons transferred from the north, and the reinforcements were mainly from Xin Sheng's trilogy.

Obviously the king was furious this time, and he was about to destroy Yan in one fell swoop, making Yandan and King Yan pay the price.

conversation room.

When he saw Bai Yan, Bai Yu introduced him to Bai Yan.

"This is my nephew Bai Yan!"

Bai Yu looked at Xin Sheng's surprised face, and said with a smile, I don't know how many people would show this expression when they first saw Bai Yan, a young general, and looking at the entire Qin country, Bai Yan was the only one at such an age.

Looking at Bai Yan's young but harmless cheeks, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Bai Yu would not have believed that the Yue clan, Xiongnu, and Zhao were all defeated by this young man.

"Bai Yan, this is General Xin Sheng!"

Bai Yu saw Bai Yan approaching the front and back, and introduced him to Bai Yan.

"Bai Yan, pay my respects to General Xin Sheng!"

Bai Yan came to Bai Yu, and during Bai Yu's introduction, he looked at the 30-year-old man with two obvious moles on his chin, and slowly bowed his hands.

"Xin Sheng, meet General Bai!"

Xin Sheng raised his hand and returned the salute seriously to Bai Yan.

After the ceremony, Xin Sheng sighed all over his face, turned his head and looked at Bai Yu with a smile.

"Xin Sheng had heard the rumor before, but he was not convinced. Now that he sees it, he knows that the rumor is true!"

Xin Sheng said.

Just like in Xin Sheng's words, Xin Sheng used to boast that he was in the Qin State, became famous at a young age, and served as generals. Director, no one is weaker than anyone else.

However, seeing Bai Yan, who was younger than them and also a general, Xin Sheng couldn't laugh or cry.

When he became a general with Li Xin, Qiang Yan and others, he was not that young, he was many years older than Bai Yan. According to Bai Yan's current age, at that time, they followed their parents and were in the Qin army. It's just mixed up with the Grand Duchess.

"General Xin Sheng's praise!"

Bai Yan looked at Xin Sheng, and replied modestly.

While talking, looking at the horse that followed him from Qi to Qin, Bai Yan was full of emotion. When he left, Bai Yan thought that we would see each other in three or five months, but never thought that the separation would last for more than two years.

"A while ago, our general said that on the way near Xianyang, he met a disciple of the Bai clan, who took his horse and sword to Lantian to enlist in the army. There was an agreement with him by fate!"

Seeing Bai Yan's gaze on the horse, Xin Sheng said with a smile, then turned to look at his cronies.

Seeing this, the Qin cavalry officers naturally knew what the general meant, so they led the horse forward and handed the horse to Bai Yan.

"Jiang Fu, meet General Bai!"

The Qin cavalry officer named Jiang Fu saluted Bai Yan.

Among the many Qin cavalry officers and soldiers, only this man named Jiang Fu knew Bai Yan, and he was also one of the dozen or so people in General Fei's party back then.

And Bai Yan also recognized Jiang Fu, he was one of the elite soldiers he had seen back then.

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed, and when we meet again.

Bai Yan slowly clapped his hands together to salute.

After the ceremony, Bai Yan and Jiang Fu looked at each other with smiles on their faces. In Jiang Fu's eyes, looking at the young man in front of him who had faded from his immaturity, he felt more emotion.

When they and General Fei learned that the young man in front of them was a descendant of the Bai family and enlisted in the army, they had a premonition and talked privately. If a member of the Bai family did not enlist in the army, he would definitely be a general of Qin after ten years of enlistment.

They have all thought that as long as the boy does not die, it is possible that ten years later, the boy they met will become a general.

And at this time, two years later, seeing the kind and unassuming young man again, Jiang Fu knew that he guessed right with General Fei and the others, but the difference was that they and General Fei did not expect it at all. The time it took for a boy to become a Qin general was not ten years, but less than two years!

This is eight years behind what they expected.

But speaking of it, Jiang Fu was actually not surprised, because after parting, when he and General Fei and the others heard about the 'Bai's disciple' again, they had already heard that the 'Bai's disciple' had enlisted in the army. Climb first, and in the first battle in Yangcheng, he climbed the tower first and beheaded 22 people, one of whom was an official.

At that time, in the North Camp, by the fire, he, General Fei, and a dozen others heard the news, and everyone burst into a commotion, looked at each other in astonishment, and then laughed.

They all laughed and boasted to the other soldiers with the people around them that they knew this 'children of the Bai family' and had an agreement.

"Where's General Fei? In the past two years, Bai Yan couldn't go to the Northland because of his business, but he never forgot General Fei's kindness in leading the way!"

Bai Yan's voice sounded.

Jiang Fu came back to his senses, and when he looked at the young man in front of him again, the corners of Jiang Fu's eyes turned red instantly, and he wanted to speak, but his trembling lips did not say anything, and he lowered his head unnaturally with red eyes, his eyes were full of sadness.

The other soldiers behind Jiang Fu have also calmed down at this moment. Although those few have never met Bai Yan before, they often heard "Bai's family" from General Fei and others when they were in the Northland. Children', and the promise of this war horse.

inside the yard.

Bai Yan looked at Jiang Fu's appearance with a look of astonishment and some doubts, and his pupils shrank when he thought of something.

"In the past two years in the North, there should be no war!"

Bai Yan said these words softly and slowly, then turned to look at Xin Sheng.

At this moment, Bai Yan was a little dazed. He basically participated in the wars of the past two years.

Bai Yu also felt something at this moment, as the leader of the army, as a general who came down from the battlefield, Bai Yu couldn't help showing a little sadness in his eyes at this moment.

"When the Qin State sent troops to destroy Zhao, because of chasing the king of Xigu, he translated Song! When passing through Shu from the north, he was ambushed and died in battle."

Seeing Bai Yan's gaze, Xin Sheng explained softly, and then told Bai Yan what happened back then.

Yiyu Song is a tribe in the Baiyue area, and is the leader of the tribal territory in Western Europe. Before Qin Guo attacked Zhao Guo, for some unknown reason, he suddenly appeared in the north. When translating the news of Song Dynasty, it was already when Song Dynasty returned from Yuezhi, and he took a small road, and few people came.

He worried that Baiyue Western Europe might unite with Chu State and Yuezhi to deal with Qin State, so that Qin State would not only be unable to destroy Zhao, but might even be besieged from all sides, so he decided to order Yiyu Song to be captured.

But in Shu, during that battle, not only did the cronies fail to capture Yiyu Song, but more than half of them died.

"Baiyue, Xiou, translated to Song!"

Listening to Xin Sheng's narration, Bai Yan looked at the war horse in front of him, and recalled in his mind the appearance and smiles of General Fei's group of dozens of people when he went to Lantian.

Stretching out his hand to caress the war horse in front of him, after two years, the agreement is still there, but the person is no longer there.

Bai Yan didn't expect that when he led the army to attack Zhao, General Fei and those ten people had already been killed in Shu.

"General Fei! Bai Yan has not yet repaid the love of leading the way in the past, the kindness of training the horse!"

Bai Yan looked at the horse in front of him that had been trained as a war horse by General Fei, and sighed in his heart.

Remember the name Yiyu Song in his heart, and Bai Yan had a premonition that if he could kill General Fei in Shu, there must be nobles in Shu who participated in it.

Under the scorching sun.

The sun was shining brightly, and the breeze blew through the branches, bringing a touch of coolness to the busy maids and servants in the huge mansion.

And in the study.

"Sister, why are you always absent-minded these days?"

After watching Miss Xu leave, Bai Yingxue turned to look at her elder sister and asked softly.

Bai Junzhu heard the little girl's words, looked at the little girl, smiled, and shook his head.

"It's okay! Don't worry, mother let you and Ms. Xu go there, go quickly!"

Bai Junzhu urged.

When Bai Yingxue heard this, she still didn't want to say anything when she saw her elder sister, so she could only get up with a worried face, and left the study reluctantly.

In an instant, Bai Junzhu was the only one left in the study.

Kneeling in front of the window, Bai Junzhu put down the bamboo slips, feeling the cool breeze blowing in front of the window, turned his head to look out of the window, and looked at the distant courtyard past the corridor, the voices of his uncle and others, his beautiful eyes finally fixed on the man who led the horse on the back of the teenager.

The words of that night are still vivid.

Recalling the boy's frankness that night, and the reasons why he came to Qin, Bai Junzhu could vaguely feel that his grandfather, father, uncle, and uncle all guessed wrong. .

Facing the fact that the boy did not hide his origin, perhaps in the eyes of others, after knowing the boy's origin, they would feel contemptuous.

But somehow.

Bai Junzhu's impression of the young man did not decrease but increased, on the contrary, he admired the young man even more in his heart.

"I really want to meet you, your grandmother!"

Bai Junzhu thought of what the boy said that night, and looked at the boy's back in the distance. Unlike all the emotions before, she had never been so curious about a person, and that boy was the first and only one.

And vaguely, after learning about the boy's background, in her heart, it wasn't the woman's yearning for a hero, but for the first time in her life, in her heart, she had a tinge of admiration for the boy.

This time.

Even Bai Junzhu himself could clearly feel his heart.

This has nothing to do with the young man's status, wealth, or even talent, but only because of the young man's heart and mind.

It was also the first time, and I really wanted to be the wife of a teenager.

Thinking room.

He turned to look at the bamboo slips in his hand.

Recalling the girl mentioned by the young man later, Bai Junzhu's pretty brows were full of disappointment, holding the thin fingers of the bamboo slips, but calmly and slightly exerting force. The one who really monopolizes that young man's heart all the time is actually only the woman from Qi State.

Recalling the boy's frankness that night, when he inadvertently talked about the past, he mentioned that woman.

She didn't know why, looking at the young man's longing look, maybe she felt a little lost in her heart, maybe she was also a little persistent, and she asked a question in a moment of enthusiasm.

"Is she beautiful?"

At that time, when she asked this sentence, she was stunned and lowered her head. She didn't know whether she regretted it or not after asking this sentence.

But in her eyes, she really wanted to know the answer.

Because of her, she is also very beautiful, and she was hailed as a beauty by the world very early on, otherwise there would not be countless rich and powerful men coming to her door.

Inside the study.

At this time, Bai Junzhu recalled himself that night, and he knew that he asked that sentence at that time, and he felt a little hopeful in his heart.

However, the boy's answer made her still unable to forget it.

"Beautiful, very beautiful, very beautiful!"

By the wooden window.

Under the long black hair, Bai Junzhu in Qin suit sighed melancholy, put down the bamboo slip in his hand, looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, and couldn't bear to look at it any longer.

Although he didn't know who the woman from Qi State was, her surname and name, she belonged to that noble family, but she knew very well that if that young man returned to Qi State one day, he would definitely go to see that woman.

Because they are both women, Bai Junzhu can feel that after learning about the young man's experience, in the eyes of the young man, no matter how many beautiful women there are in the world, no matter how many beauties the king bestows, they will no longer be able to enter the young man's heart.

Those experiences made the girl from Qi Country already unique in the young man's heart!

thought here.

Bai Junzhu, a beauty who studied bamboo slips hard in the study since she was a child and didn't hear anything outside the window, lowered her head full of distress, and lay down on the table.

She didn't want to tell her parents about the boy's experience and origins, because she didn't want to see the relationship between the boy and the family become stiff again, and there was a estrangement in her heart.

And in the past few days, Bai Junzhu can't help but fantasize that maybe after a long time of contact, maybe he won't be able to return to Qi State for a long time, the young man will marry her and live with her in Qin State with peace of mind. After all, Bai Junzhu is not necessarily He really couldn't compare to that woman, let alone in terms of beauty and talent, Bai Junzhu didn't believe that he was inferior to other women.

"Jun Bamboo!"

Bai Yan did not know when he walked into the study, looking at his daughter with her head lowered and her face stuck to the bamboo slips, she was full of doubts.

When Bai Junzhu heard his father's voice, he got up immediately. When he saw his father coming, his pretty face was full of panic, and his eyes averted.

"Father!"

Bai Junzhu put down the bamboo slips and got up quickly.

Bai Yan looked at Bai Junzhu's appearance, and there was no problem seeing the bamboo slips, so he nodded.

"In a few days, Bai Yan will go to Luoyin when he recovers from his injuries. When the time comes, you should prepare and go together. Your mother has already instructed Yingxue."

Bai Yan said to his daughter.

"Got it, father!"

Bai Junzhu nodded obediently when he heard his father's words.

"Right now, follow me to call Bai Yan, people from the Qu family of Chu State have come to visit just now!"

Bai Yan said, the people from the Qu family who came to visit the mansion just now, and the two gentry from the Chu Kingdom, Bai Yan wanted to meet them.

What Bai Yan meant was that he hoped that, as before, when Bai Yan met those people, Bai Junzhu would be there.

"Understood! Father!"

Bai Junzhu replied softly.
