Qin Gong

After Bai Yan learned that someone from the Qu family of Chu State came to visit, and also learned from Bai Yan that the person's name was Qiangu, he subconsciously froze for a moment, and then he was filled with joy.

Bai Yan never expected to meet his little uncle here in Xianyang.

Since leaving Qi, his little uncle was his only relative who was away. In the past two years, Bai Yan had missed him, but Bai Yan knew that he must not rashly send a letter to contact him.

So these two years.

Even though Bai Yan knew that his uncle was in the Qu Clan of Chu State, he never dared to send a letter.

Knowing that his little uncle is here, how can Bai Yan be unhappy.

However, Bai Yan also knows that other people must not know about his little uncle, so after learning from Bai Yan that his little uncle came to visit in the identity of Qu, his first reaction was to hold back the excitement in his heart and wait for Bai Yan. After chatting with Xin Sheng for a while, Yu and Xin Sheng were going to drink, and then declined Xin Sheng's invitation on the pretext of being hurt. After Xin Sheng left, he followed Bai Yan to the front yard.

in the mansion.

On the way to the front yard, whether it is in the house or the corridor, it is full of nobles and dignitaries in silk clothes, young and old, and they are all nobles who came to visit from other places.

In the past few days, many boxes have been placed in the courtyard, and there are also many gold, silver and jade ornaments.

When these people saw Bai Yan and Bai Yan, they all bowed their hands to salute with kindness on their faces, which also made Bai Yan and Bai Junzhu follow behind Bai Yan, almost walking a few steps before they had to salute and return the salute.

When he finally came to the main hall, he just went in and saw people sitting behind a dozen tables on the left and right, and among these seats, the ones closest to Bai Zhong, Bai Yan saw at the first sight The little uncle who had been away for two years.

"This son is Bai Yan!"

When Bai Zhong saw Bai Yan behind Bai Yan, he turned his head with a smile and introduced Yan Gu, Yan Shou and Qi Heng.

see.

Qiang Gu pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and got up together with Yan Shou and Qi Heng beside him.

"Zuo Shiyangu, pay my respects to General Bai Yan!"

Qiangu raised his hands and saluted Bai Yan slowly. When his eyes met with his little nephew, he couldn't help flashing a smile, but when he noticed from the corner of his eyes, Bai Junzhu in a Qin suit beside his little nephew, his heart swelled. Can't help but take a breath.

What a beautiful woman! !

In his heart, Yan Gu instinctively exclaimed.

Even in Shouchun, where there are so many beautiful women in Chu, I have never seen such a beautiful woman in Qiangu. What's more, the feeling and temperament of the woman in front of me are far from those of those women. People don't want to, if they can have this woman in their arms, that would be great.

After regaining his senses, Yan Gu immediately guessed that the woman must be the famous Bai family sister, but he didn't know if it was the older sister or the younger sister.

Thinking of this, Yan Gu looked at the distance between his little nephew and the woman, his eyes became weird.

Others don't know, but he, as an uncle, knows that his little nephew is not a descendant of the Bai family, that is to say, he has no blood relationship with that woman, but from what he looks like now, he obediently follows behind.
And think back to what my little nephew said two years ago in Xincheng.

She is the Bai Junzhu who has a marriage contract with his little nephew! ! !

Good boy! ! !
At this moment, Qiangu was amazed that his little nephew married such a beautiful woman. If this was brought out, it would be enough to make other men envious.

But right now, Yan Gu also has a thousand words in his heart that he wants to say to his little nephew, and he also has too many questions.

Two years ago, my little nephew once said that he had a marriage contract with the Bai family, so he got the Bai family name, but the rumors outside and the world know that Bai Yan is a child of the Bai family.

Yan Gu vaguely guessed that this was probably an agreement between the little nephew and the Bai family, but he also wondered what the relationship between the little nephew and the Bai family was.

It's a pity that at that time two years ago, due to the rush of time, he didn't have a detailed chat with his little nephew.

"Bai Yan, I have met Lord Yan!"

When Bai Yan saw his uncle making the salute, he hurriedly returned the salute in front of everyone.

Looking at his little uncle in silk clothes with a sword on his waist, just now his little uncle deliberately revealed that his current identity is Zuo Shi of Chu State, which made Bai Yan very happy.

Zuo Shi is not in the court of Chu State, but in the Chu State Army. The time when Xiang Liang was rescued, the younger uncle succeeded in taking the position. Judging from the situation, he should have been brought into the army by Xiang Liang to hold an important position.

After the ceremony.

Before Bai Yan had time to speak, under Bai Yan's introduction, he made a salute to others and returned the salute.

There are too many guests who come to visit.

It doesn't seem exaggerated at all to say that there are so many people in the market.

Seeing that the little nephew Bai Yan was busy, Qiangu continued to kneel and sit behind the original wooden table, seeing how busy the little nephew was, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before knowing that the envoy of Yan State was an assassin, and assassinated Ying Zheng in the Xianyang Hall, he was finally stopped by his nephew. Qiangu was also taken aback. He was not happy when he learned that his nephew had rescued Ying Zheng. The envoy of Yan was smeared with poison on the dagger, and before he died, he wanted to exchange his life to kill Ying Zheng, but the little nephew actually took the stab for Ying Zheng.

Hearing this news at that time, Yan Gu was taken aback, his head was a little dazed, Hao Xuan almost fainted.

That's why later, when he learned that his little nephew had woken up, Yan Gu couldn't wait to find an excuse to come to the Bai family together with Yan Shou and Qi Heng.

In name, it was to inquire about Bai Yan's situation with Yan Shou and Qi Heng, to see if Bai Yan was really all right, and wished that Bai Yan's injury would be as serious as possible, but in fact, Qiangu came to visit his little nephew with worries .

Right now, seeing that his little nephew is safe and sound, Qiang Gu's heart that has been hanging around is finally able to let go.

It's fine!

"This kid doesn't know when he will return to Qi!"

Qiangu sat kneeling behind the wooden seat, looking at the back of his little nephew, relieved in his heart, couldn't help talking to himself.

Qionggu has already heard the news of the fiefdom.

In the past few days, Qiangu's heart has been numb from the shock, and he doesn't know what to say about his little nephew, and he can't even find a word of praise.

manor!

It can be obtained in Qin, which is more difficult to obtain fiefs than other countries, but it is still in Hangu Pass.

For this little nephew whom he watched and grew up with, Qiangu only had a wry smile in his heart and couldn't say a word.

Seeing the little nephew in Xincheng two years ago, Qiangu had a premonition that what his mother said at the beginning might be true, and that the little nephew might really be a capable person.

However, two years have passed, and at this moment, Qiangu just wanted to tell his mother himself.

Mother, it seems that even you underestimated Yan'er at the beginning! ! ! !
With a wry smile in his heart, Fugu shook his head.

Recalling the time when I hadn’t left my hometown in Linzi, I remembered that those villagers, no matter men, women, old or young, were laughing at my little nephew, saying that my little nephew would be worthless. What kind of expression is it, will you be dumbfounded?

Although I don't know what the relationship between the little nephew and the Bai family is now, why he still calls himself a child of the Bai family.

But looking at the Bai family's daughter obediently following Bai Yan's side, the Yan family knew that Bai's family had already decided to let the girl be his little nephew's wife.

is also like this.

When Qiangu thought of those villagers back then, he sneered.

Back in my hometown, those villagers who once laughed at their little nephew for not being able to marry a wife, would they all be stunned when they saw this daughter of the Bai family in the future?

The women in the village, no, even in the cities, but there are hardly any women who can compete with this Bai family's daughter!

I just don't know when this little nephew, Yan'er, is going to return to Qi State, to meet his mother and elder sister.

When the time comes, let the elder sister see with her own eyes how beautiful Zhong Er's wife is.

I guess the eldest sister couldn't believe that Yan'er, who grew up in the village, could marry the very famous Bai family's children in Qin.

Inside the main hall.

Fu Gu, who was relieved, felt much more relaxed after he had no worries in his heart. Hearing Bai Zhong's voice, he turned to talk to Bai Zhong.

Yan Shou and Qi Heng looked idiotic, secretly looking at Bai Junzhu from time to time.

"I don't know who this woman is?"

Yan Shou finally couldn't help it, and asked Bai Zhong first.

Hearing Yan Shou's question, Qi Heng couldn't help but hold his breath, and looked at the old man Bai Zhong seriously. Although he and Yan Shou were good friends, he was also very eager to have that woman one day.

Although Qi Heng knew that his chances were not great, he was not without a trace of fantasy.

"My Zhong'er's daughter is named Junzhu!"

Hearing Yan Shou's question, Bai Zhong smiled on his wrinkled face.

Bai Junzhu suddenly heard his grandfather say his name, and turned his head to look at his grandfather full of doubts.

Bai Yan also noticed at this time.

"I don't know if we can get married?"

It's good that Bai Junzhu didn't turn his head back. When he turned his head, the black hair fluttering, coupled with his charming face and watery eyes, directly made Yan Shouman's heart throb. He looked at Bai Zhong's voice when he was speaking, and couldn't restrain himself because he was so anxious. Live a little trembling.

And following Yan Shou's words.

Bai Zhong and Yan Gu couldn't help frowning slightly, even Bai Yan, who was not far away, looked at Yan Shou, who was a lot older and still wishful thinking, and frowned.

"Already married!"

Bai Zhong smiled softly.

However, while speaking, Bai Zhong's eyes were not looking at Yan Shou, but looking aside calmly, looking at Qiang Gu.

The Yan family behind Yan Shou and the gentry behind Qi Heng are not small, but they are not big families. Now the Bai family does not talk about their background, but there is Bai Yu, who is a general, and Bai Yu, who is also a general, shoulders the geese. There are two of Bai Yan of Men Junwei, and the Bai clan is enough to crush the gentry behind Yan Shou and Qi Heng.

What Bai Zhong really cares about is Qiang Gu, who is the representative of the Qu family.

Bai Zhong knew very little about this valley, he only knew that he had been a guest of Qu's family long ago and had won the trust of Qu's family.

Therefore, Bai Zhong said the phrase 'already married' to Qiang Gu, hoping that Qiang Gu would have other thoughts, even if it was Qu's, there was no need for it.

"what!"

"Oh~!"

Yan Shou was surprised when he heard Bai Zhong's words, while Qi Heng beside him was full of regret, as if he wasn't too surprised.

Yan Shou looked absent-minded, and was about to ask, when Qiangu's voice suddenly sounded.

"Congratulations, Mr. Bai!"

Yan Gu bowed his hands to Bai Zhong with a kind face.

"Thank you!"

Bai Zhong smiled and cupped his hands to return the salute, seeing Qiang Gu's appearance, he was also relieved, glad that the expected trouble did not appear.

However, Bai Zhong didn't know that Qiang Gu, who might be troublesome in his eyes, was already dissatisfied with Yan Shou and Qi Hengxin, which also paved the way for the misery of the two in the future.

You know, if Bai Junzhu is really married to the Bai family, then counting, there is a trace of in-law relationship between Qionggu and their Bai family. If his niece and daughter-in-law are missed by others, anyone will secretly hate him in his heart.

in the hall.

At this moment, no matter whether it is Bai Zhong, Bai Uncle, Bai Yan, Bai Ping, or even Bai Junzhu who is beside Bai Yan, it is impossible for everyone to think about it. Before that, they had been wondering about the boy's name, eager to know the boy's origin, but now , that boy's elder suddenly appeared in front of them, but they didn't know it.

Even Bai Zhong has been chatting with Qiang Gu.

An hour later.

Seeing that it was getting late and Qiangu who had been talking with Bai Zhong, seeing too many people and still unable to find a chance to secretly meet with his nephew, he turned his head to Qi Heng and Yan Shou, and looked at each other, ready to say goodbye.

Although it is false to say that he has no regrets in his heart, Qiangu actually prepared himself when he came, knowing that there are too many people in the Bai family, and there is no chance at all.

Right now, Yan Gu can only think about the future, and in the future, he will definitely have the opportunity to meet his little nephew.

At that time, I must persuade my little nephew to go home early.

After all, he can't wait until Qin State destroys Qi State one day before returning home.

If it takes decades, hundreds of years before Qin State has the chance to destroy Qi State, or even if Qin State has no chance to destroy Qi State at all, it is impossible for the little nephew not to return to his hometown in this life!

Thinking that the king of Chu is now critically ill and will die violently at any time, when the new king succeeds, and with General Xiang Yan in charge, it is impossible for Qin to destroy Qi, because with General Xiang Yan in Chu, it is impossible to let Qin State destroyed Qi State.

Yan Gu knew that this was Chu's bottom line, and it was also General Xiang Yan's bottom line.

Therefore, it is still necessary to find an opportunity to urge the little nephew to return to the country of Qi!
"Old Bai, we are going back to Chu State tomorrow, so we will take our leave first. If we have a chance in the future, we will definitely visit again!"

Yan Gu got up and bowed to Bai Zhongji.

Not far away, Bai Yan, who had been busy with socializing, was also a little anxious when he saw this, but there was nothing he could do about it. There were two members of the noble clan of the Chu country beside my uncle, and if he showed any intention of being close to his father, his uncle would feel uncomfortable. It's dangerous, and there are too many people right now, and there is no chance to leave alone.

Hearing his uncle and Bai Zhong explain that they will return to Chu State tomorrow, Bai Yan knew that this was his uncle taking the opportunity to tell him.

I sighed in my heart.

After watching Bai Zhong return the gift, and asked Bai Ping to send his uncle and his party away, Bai Yan could only stand in the crowd while chatting with the gentry, while watching his uncle leave helplessly.

Summer is approaching, the sun is scorching hot.

May.

In Linzi City of Qi State, Tian Ding, who had just returned to the mansion from the Qi State Chaotang, and his eldest son, Tian Cong, got off the carriage wearing Qi State official uniforms. Just before they entered the mansion, they saw a servant hurried away after seeing the two of them. come over.

"My lord, the Lu family sent a letter today, sent from Xianyang of the Qin State, and I specially asked to hand it over to my lord!"

The servant came in front of Tian Ding and Tian Cong, knelt on the ground and said the ceremony.

"Xianyang Lu family?"

Tian Ding was surprised when he heard what the servant said.

Tian Cong next to her was also a little surprised. The Lu family in Xianyang, Qin State, belonged to her mother's clan. However, since her mother passed away, although she had contacts, there were few letters.

Because Tian Cong has been thousands of miles away, and Tian Cong has not seen those clansmen of his mother, only Lu Qi came to visit occasionally.

And right now, Lu Qi, who just arrived in Qi State two days ago, is in the mansion.

"lead the way!"

Tian Ding looked at the servant, asked the servant to get up and lead the way, and showed him the bamboo slips.

With doubts, Tian Cong also followed his father Tian Ding, and walked towards the study with his servants.

After a while.

When he came to the study, Tian Cong saw the servant bringing over the bamboo slips. His father took the bamboo slips from the servant, opened them and looked at them for a while, then suddenly his eyes widened, his brows were furrowed, and his face was full of disbelief.

Accompanied by the tension and puzzlement on the father's cheeks.

This is the first time Tian Cong has seen his father, who has always been stable, show such an expression.

see.

Tian Cong became even more curious. He wondered what the letter sent by the Lu family in Xianyang could make his father show such an expression.

"Father, what's the matter?"

Tian Cong couldn't help being curious when he saw his father put down the bamboo slips, and asked softly.

However, what Tian Cong didn't expect was that when Tian Ding heard his words, he suddenly turned his head and looked straight at him.

"Father, I would like to ask you, was there anything unusual between Yan'er and Bai Yan in Yanmen before?"

Tian Ding looked at the eldest son with doubts at the moment.

Thinking of the content in the bamboo slips, a trace of nostalgia and sadness appeared in his eyes, while thinking of his beloved daughter, it was worry.

"Yanmen, Bai Yan?"

Tian Cong looked at his father with astonishment.

Where did the Lu family in Xianyang send the letter, why did it involve Bai Yan of Yanmen, and the younger sister.

Tian Ding saw the appearance of his eldest son Tian Cong, and saw Tian Cong's surprise, so he didn't make too much of a fuss, and directly handed over the letter to his eldest son.

"Yan'er gave Bai Yan your mother's jade pendant!"

Tian Ding said.

In an instant, Tian Cong, who had just received the bamboo slips with a puzzled face, raised his head in surprise, widened his eyes, and looked at his father Tian Ding in shock.

At this moment, Tian Cong even doubted his own ears!

"This is impossible!!"

Tian Cong's head was buzzing, and he opened the bamboo slips with a look of panic.

In Tian Cong's mind, the younger sister did go to Yanmen with him before, but like him, it was the first time that the younger sister saw the Qin general Bai Yan. Give it to Bai Yan.

This is impossible.

One must know that Bai Yan is a descendant of the Bai family, a general of Qin State, one of the few famous generals.

"This!"

However, no matter how he denied it, when Tian Cong read the bamboo slips and learned what had happened, he was completely dumbfounded, and looked up at his father Tian Ding in complete bewilderment.

It turned out that Yan'er really gave her mother's jade pendant to Bai Yan!

But why, in Yanmen, even after returning, the younger sister never told him, the elder brother, that he, the elder brother, didn't know at all.

what is going on?Why did Yan'er give that jade pendant to Bai Yan?

Inside the study.

Tian Ding looked at his eldest son, who had always been refined and elegant, with a sluggish look on his face. He already knew that the eldest son was probably kept in the dark about this matter.

Thinking of this, the image of his deceased wife appeared in Tian Ding's mind, his eyes showed a touch of sadness, he sighed, turned and walked out of the room.

Tian Cong saw his father leaving, and knew that his father was going to find his younger sister, so he hurriedly followed behind with the bamboo slips.
