Qin Gong

Chapter 418 The regular attendant?The joy of the Bai brothers
into the night.

As the night sky above Xianyang City was full of stars and the moon was hanging high, a carriage was slowly driving on a street in Xianyang City.

Due to the large population, Xianyang City, as the capital of the Qin State, naturally has an endless stream of merchants and scholars from other countries, and Xianyang at night naturally has its own customs and customs that belong to the Qin State.

But fortunately, the people who can come to Xianyang of the Qin State are all people with eyesight. When they saw that there were men on horseback holding torches to light the road around the carriage, they all retreated to the sides one after another. It was the drunken people who were aggrieved. Wanting to drink for fun, when they saw those men with one hand on their waist sabers, they all calmed down and stepped aside obediently.

And just when the carriage was about to pass by a small alley.

On the window sill on the second floor of a shop, under the dark night, a sharp arrow was quietly aimed at the carriage slowly driving on the street.

Along with it, there is a window on the other side of the street.

The sound of the wheels turning of the carriage sounded on the quiet street, and as the pedestrians walking in the night retreated, the carriage drew closer and closer.

Finally, as if passing a shop, three sharp arrows hit the carriage in the blink of an eye, two of them were caught by the wooden beams of the carriage, and the other shot directly into the carriage.

"There are assassins!!"

"Protect the general!"

This sudden change caused the men on horseback who were holding torches to pull out their Qin swords one after another, and looked around and the shops on both sides of the street vigilantly.

Among the men, the three of them looked at the arrows on the carriage, immediately judged the direction of the arrows, dismounted quickly, and ran towards the two shops with their sabers in hand.

However, those assassins seemed to have disappeared in the night.

on the street.

Many passers-by came back to their senses at this time. Looking at the arrows on the carriage, they were all taken aback. Although they didn't know who the adult was, everyone knew that this adult might be assassinated tomorrow. Things will definitely spread throughout Xianyang.

"Who? Such a big burden!"

"I don't know! I don't know which adult is sitting in the carriage!"

"I just heard those people call a general!"

Many scholars on both sides of the street whispered.

And just as everyone was guessing who was assassinated in the carriage, a man with a sword came and ran to the carriage.

"General! The assassin has already escaped! Head towards the east city!"

The man bowed to the carriage.

Following the man's words, under the eyes of passers-by on the street, the curtain of the carriage was slowly lifted, and a figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Order someone to inform Xianyang Order!"

Bai Yan stood on the carriage, looked around, then said softly, then turned to look at the two arrows nailed to the wooden beam of the carriage.

"Look at that rank, it's a general!!!"

"That's right, so young, wearing an official uniform and a general, in the middle of Qin~ is Bai Yan!!"

"It's Yanmen County Lieutenant Bai Yan! I didn't expect that the person who was assassinated was actually Bai Yan!"

Even though it was already dark, under the torches of each man, the people and passers-by on the street could clearly see Bai Yan's young face and the official uniform and rank on his body.

At this moment, in the eyes of these common people and passers-by, there will be no lack of talk tomorrow and for a period of time in the future. After all, they have witnessed the assassination of General Zuo Geng and Yanmen County Lieutenant Bai Yan in Xianyang City.

"promise!"

The confidant standing beside the carriage heard Bai Yan's words, saluted Bai Yan, then hurried to the side, got on the horse, and rushed towards the government.

Bai Yan stood on the carriage, looked at the pedestrians around, pulled out an arrow forcefully, and threw it on the street.

"Go home!"

Bai Yan said softly, then turned around and continued to leave in the carriage.

Hai time.

Outside the gate of Bai Yu's mansion, Bai Yan's carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate.

The men holding torches were still looking around vigilantly. The situation on the street just now scared all of them into a cold sweat. Fortunately, the general was fine, otherwise they would be blamed.

On the carriage, Bai Yan slowly got down from it, and walked towards the mansion under the escort of his cronies.

The servant guarding the mansion naturally knew Bai Yan, and when he saw Bai Yan came back, he hurriedly reported it to Bai Yu.

After a while.

In the study, Bai Bo, Bai Yan, Bai Yu, and Tai Jing all looked at Bai Yan with astonishment.

After Bai Yan made a salute to the crowd, he saw Tai Jing was there, and then remembered that he had an appointment with Tai Jing today, so he hurriedly apologized to Tai Jing.

"Brother Jing, I'm in the palace today and I couldn't attend the banquet as promised, I hope you will forgive me!"

Bai Yan smiled wryly, and said apologetically to Tai Jingji.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Tai Jing looked at Bai Yan with a tired face, and was also full of astonishment. He waved his hands quickly, and then turned his head to look at Bai Yu and the others.

To be honest, when Tai Jing saw Bai Yan who was leading the army outside when he was with Zhao Diyan, Bai Yan at that time was not as tired as before.

"In the palace?"

Bai Bo and Bai Yan looked at each other when they heard Bai Yan's words, they were full of doubts.

"Your Majesty left you in the palace today, and didn't you leave until this time?"

Uncle Bai was the first to ask, and looked at Bai Yan with uncontrollable curiosity.

Bai Yan nodded, bowed to his uncle, then quickly picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

"Why did your majesty keep you in the palace for so long?"

Before Uncle Bai could say anything, Bai Yu asked anxiously. At this moment, Bai Yu was full of surprise and confused. He couldn't figure out why the king stayed with Bai Yan for so long.

"It's nothing serious. I was asking about the injury and Luoyin affairs. The queen king stayed in the study to present the bamboo and silk until just now!"

Bai Yan gulped down the water and hurriedly explained.

Although I had eaten in the palace, it was only once, and I wanted to drink water the rest of the time, but seeing the busy Ying Zheng, I didn't dare to open my mouth to take the initiative to drink. This also caused Bai Yan to drink water only once in the afternoon and night. Still eating at night.

Inside the study.

Following Bai Yan's voice, everyone fell silent. Whether it was Bai Bo, Bai Yan, Bai Yu, or Tai Jing, they all stared at Bai Yan in shock, their eyes full of disbelief.

At this moment, even Bai Yu, who was straightforward and carefree, immediately thought of the king's intentions when he heard Bai Yan's explanation.

The same is true, Bai Yu opened his mouth slightly at this moment, looking at Bai Yan who seemed to be fine with a look of astonishment.

Just now when they were waiting for Bai Yan, they were still wondering why there was no news from Bai Yan until late at night. They guessed that Bai Yan might be going to deal with something, and the king asked Bai Yan to go.

From the beginning to the end, they never thought that it was the king who kept Bai Yan in the palace and brought him with him.

Uncle Bai was breathing rapidly at this moment, looking at Bai Yan with fiery eyes.

Needless to say, Tai Jing, looking at Bai Yan is more exciting than seeing a box of gold. In Tai Jing's eyes, Bai Yan is like this, which he can't even imagine in his dreams. Serving the king, If one day he can do this, he will probably die happily.

At that time, friends, colleagues, and even family members from my hometown, whoever sees me is not respectful, even those big families will flatter me, after all, I may need to help myself in the future.

Think of those images.

Tai Jing's whole body was going to be ecstasy, looking at Bai Yan, he was so excited, he wished he could be like Bai Yan in the future.

By candlelight.

In the end, it was Bai Yu who was calmer. After all, Bai Yu was a general, and now he went to court every day and could see the king.

"Kings!"

Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan, and wanted to say something, but because he was too nervous, his mouth was dry, and he swallowed: "Your Majesty, can you go tomorrow?"

Bai Yu's breathing was a little short, he looked at Bai Yan, and when he was talking, looking at Bai Yan who was too calm at the moment, Bai Yu wanted to see what was going on in Bai Yan's mind, why he wasn't excited at all right now.

Those who heard it couldn't help being excited, why did Bai Yan, the person involved, have a calm face.

"Called, the king ordered to go directly to the study of the palace after the court tomorrow!"

Bai Yan looked at Bai Yu, and replied softly, with a hint of helplessness in his words.

Quiet~!

The whole study room fell into silence because of Bai Yan's words, followed by everyone's excitement, even the carefree Bai Yu couldn't help showing a happy expression at this moment.

"Good boy!"

Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan, not knowing what to say.

Bai Yu was like this, not to mention the other people in the study, at this moment even Bai Yan, who had always been steady, had changed his expression from before, apart from the shock, he was excited.

Both Bai Bo and Tai Jing didn't know what to say, and they didn't come back to their senses until a moment later.

"really!"

Bai Bo turned his head to look at Bai Yan.

Bai Yan also had a serious face at the moment, nodding to his elder brother.

"Your Majesty, this is preparing to train Bai Yan to be a regular attendant!"

Bai Yan said, now the King's intention is very obvious, he is going to bring Bai Yan by his side as a normal thing to cultivate.

The Zhongchang Attendant can be said to be a staff member next to Yingzheng. Apart from helping Yingzheng handle some affairs sent to Xianyang by the prefectures and counties, he is also by his side, studying major government affairs, and preparing for the important position of Qin State in the future Don't look down on the fact that the position of Chang Shi does not have any real power, but being with Ying Zheng every day is the greatest power.

And just imagine, in the future, once the veterans of Qin State get old and retire, facing the important positions held by those veterans before, whether such important rights should be handed over to people from other forces, or to people who have been with him all year round, capable and People who know the roots and know the bottom line, who have been cultivated by themselves.

"How old is you kid? Why does the king value you so much!"

When Bai Yu heard his elder brother's words, he naturally knew that what he said was true. Excited and joyful, he turned his head and looked Bai Yan up and down. Seeing this young man in front of him who was neither big nor fat, let alone handsome, what did Bai Yu think? I can't see it, and I can't understand why the king thinks so highly of this kid in front of him.

If the leader of the army is abroad to expand the territory of Qin, Bai Yu admits that this kid is indeed capable, at least better than his uncle. By his side, Bai Yu really didn't imagine it at all.

Apart from being good at leading troops in battle, what is it about this kid who looks like a regular servant?Thinking of this kid becoming one of the many ministers of the court in the future, Bai Yu felt vaguely that it seemed very unreliable for some reason.

in the library,
Bai Yan looked at Bai Yu's eyes, smiled wryly, and didn't tease Bai Yu anymore, he was really tired today, not only his body was tense, but also his spirit didn't dare to relax for a moment.

For Bai Yan, going to the study to accompany Ying Zheng is a thousand times more exhausting than leading troops abroad, or even going to the battlefield.

Leading the army in battle only needs to rely on Qin Jian to plan and deal with the enemy's deployment. In addition to planning, it is physical work, such as killing people. , Even say a word, have to think about it.

Companion is like a tiger.

Although in Bai Yan's eyes, this sentence is not very suitable for Ying Zheng, but Ying Zheng is the king of a country after all. In the future, Qin Shihuang, who will rule the world under Qin, said that it is impossible to say that there is no pressure.

Just like today when he was thirsty, Bai Yan didn't dare to ask for water.

Under the dim candlelight.

While everyone was talking, a maid came to the study and told Bai Yu that there was already a feast of food and wine in the mansion.

Bai Yu nodded, just now he learned that Tai Jing hadn't eaten, and Bai Yan hadn't returned, so Bai Yu ordered his servants to prepare food and wine in the mansion to entertain Tai Jing.

"You kid is not fast, huh? Why do you look unhappy? That's right! Don't tell me you don't want to!"

I don't know if Bai Yan's gloomy expression is too obvious, or what, Bai Yu was going to ask Bai Yan to greet Tai Jing to eat, but looking at Bai Yan, Bai Yu vaguely realized that Bai Yan didn't seem to want to stay in the palace , I don't want to be a regular servant.

Thinking of this possibility, Bai Yu almost lost his breath, staring at Bai Yan, as if as long as Bai Yan dared to nod, he would dare to beat Bai Yan.

Uncle Bai and Bai Yan at the side heard Bai Yu's words, at first they thought Bai Yu was thinking too much, how could this be possible, this is the position of Zhongchang Servant, the closest relative of the ministers to Yingzheng, and he will definitely be given a heavy responsibility by Political Commissar Ying in the future.

However, when the two looked at Bai Yan, for some reason, seeing Bai Yan's awkward smile, a bad premonition quietly surfaced in their hearts.

No way! ! !
Bai Yan really wants to refuse?
Tai Jing, who had already fantasized about going to heaven with Bai Yan in the future, heard Bai Yu's words, and instinctively thought "how is this possible?" There was a sudden hit in my heart.

No!
impossible! ! !

Tai Jing opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Bai Yan with a dull face.

"How is this possible? The king is willing to promote Bai Yan. It's Bai Yan's luck. How could Bai Yan refuse!"

Bai Yan came back to his senses, looked at Bai Yu who was looking straight at him, saw the nervous eyes of Bai Uncle and Bai Yan, and Tai Jing's look of wanting to jump up, and quickly said with a smile.

"As long as you know it, kid!"

Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan with a slight suspicion, but Bai Yan's words did make him feel more at ease.

The same is true for Bai Bo, Bai Yan, and Tai Jing.

If Bai Yan refuses even this, then in their eyes, he is an extremely stupid person, and they all wonder if there is something wrong with Bai Yan's mind.

"I failed to fulfill the contract today, don't blame my brother, please!"

Seeing that Bai Yu and the others had no doubts, Bai Yan hurriedly changed the subject to Tai Jing, the food and wine have been prepared, and now he will talk about it in the mansion.

···········
Day two.

Bai Yan and Bai Yu still went up in the carriage together, same as last time, as soon as Bai Yan got out of the carriage, he attracted the attention of many civil and military officials in front of the gate of the palace.

Bai Yan is fine, Bai Yu frowned when he saw this scene, his eyes were already quite impatient.

It would be fine if it was like yesterday, but obviously it's not the first time, why those officials still look at that boy Bai Yan with such eyes, could it be that they really bullied him, Mrs. Bai dare not do anything?
thought here.

Bai Yu's heart became more and more angry.

Fortunately, seeing Mr. Hu and Mao Jiao coming together at this time, Bai Yu just restrained the anger in his heart.

"Old Hu, Old Mao!"

"Old Hu, Old Mao!"

Bai Yan and Bai Yu greeted Hu Quan and Mao Jiao.

Hu Quan and Mao Jiaojiao nodded, and after simply returning the gift, they looked Bai Yan up and down anxiously, which made Bai Yu beside him curious, what's going on, why Mr. Hu and Mr. Mao looked at Bai Yan like this.

"Did the assassin hurt you last night?"

Mr. Hu looked at Bai Yan and asked.

The news of Bai Yan's assassination last night had already spread throughout Xianyang. After all, in Xianyang City, the assassination of a general Zuo Geng was by no means a trivial matter.

Last night, not to mention the city order of Xianyang City, all the officials in the city, and even the gentry guarding the palace, they were all mobilized to search for assassins everywhere in the city. Even the king was furious about this incident.

is also like this.

Mr. Hu, who received the news last night, was always worried about whether Bai Yan was injured.

"Bai Yan is ashamed to worry Mr. Hu and Mr. Mao. Please rest assured that Bai Yan is not injured!"

Bai Yan saluted gratefully to Mr. Hu.

However, Bai Yu, who was beside Bai Yan and Mr. Hu, was dumbfounded when he heard Mr. Hu's words.

Assassination? ? ? ?
Bai Yan was assassinated by an assassin last night?

Why didn't I hear this kid say this last night?

　I went to get an IV drip with a knife yesterday, and I will make up yesterday's chapter when I feel better tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!
　　Qin Gong's book is mainly about military exploits, generals and soldiers, but there are intervals between the conquests of the six countries, and Qin has to recover its national power and food, so it is impossible for Bai Yan to just stay in the camp and do nothing during this period.

　　Fighting is the main thing, and everything else is auxiliary.
