Qin Gong

Chapter 445 Qu Yi's Death
"General, outside the mansion, there is a servant begging to see him, saying he is a servant of the doctor!"

A servant hurried into the main hall, and then reported to Bai Yan.

heard.

Lin Anshun and Xunzhou looked at each other suspiciously, but still bowed to Bai Yan.

"General Bai, it should be the entourage brought by the two of us!"

Lin Anshun said.

When Bai Yan heard Lin Anshun's words, he naturally asked the subordinate to come in to see Lin Anshun. After all, in such a hurry, it was obvious that he had something important to do.

After a while.

Led by the servants of Baiyan's mansion, a man dressed in commoner clothes and holding a sword came to the main hall and saluted Xunzhou.

"Doctor, news from Wei Guo!"

While the man was speaking, he inadvertently glanced at Bai Yan and Wei Lao, his movements were very subtle, but still not as full as Bai Yan and Wei Lao.

This action is not talking, but in the eyes of Bai Yan and Wei Lao, it is already saying that the person or matter from the Wei country is so important that outsiders should not know it.

After watching the man finished speaking, he took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms and handed it to Xunzhou, Bai Yan continued to eat porridge with a dull head.

"what?"

After Xunzhou saw the contents of the bamboo slips, his expression changed, he turned to look at Lin Anshun in surprise, and then handed the bamboo slips to Lin Anshun.

After Lin Anshun took the bamboo slips, he stared at the contents, and after a few breaths, his expression changed drastically.

"Old Wei!"

Lin Anshun raised his head and looked at Elder Wei.

"The news came from the Kingdom of Wei that the King of Wei died of illness suddenly!"

Lin Anshun said, he didn't avoid Wei Lao and Bai Yan's presence like that servant, and directly told about Wei's changes.

Mr. Wei was eating porridge, and when he heard Lin Anshun's words, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with his hand, and knelt down to look at Lin Anshun.

"The old man already knows! It must be Tian Ding looking for the two of you to go to Wei Guo!"

Old Wei said.

I dare not say anything else, but for the news of the four places of Zhao, Wei, Qi, and Yan, Wei Lao is still very well informed. Already knew it a long time ago.

"This"

When Lin Anshun heard Wei Lao's words, he and Xunzhou looked at each other with a look of embarrassment on his face.

When the two left Mr. Tian before, they were looking for other reasons. Now Mr. Tian must have known that the two of them had been to Yanmen Shanwu.

"It's okay, after you go back, you can tell Tian Ding the news of the old man's stay in Yanmen Shanwucheng!"

Mr. Wei is such a fine person, seeing the expressions of Lin Anshun and Xunzhou, he knew what they were worried about.

Elder Wei is different from Bai Yan. Bai Yan is now a general in the Qin State and holds a heavy army, so he is worried about the safety of his parents and family, but Elder Wei is different. Even if Tian Ding knows, what can he do? Tell Ying Zheng to know .

snort!
If so, then the old man will not be in Yanmen, but Xianyang!

With the dissatisfaction with Tian Ding in his heart, Wei Lao looked at Bai Yan who had been eating with his head down, his appearance was just like an angry old man.

"teacher!"

Looking at Elder Wei's appearance, Bai Yan didn't know what provoked Elder Wei, and why he was so angry.

"The king of Wei died of illness?"

When Bai Yan heard the news of King Wei's death, he frowned slightly, but fortunately, Bai Yan was always prepared, and when he heard the news, the surprise in his heart was only fleeting.

"If there are no accidents, with the current situation in Wei, the person who succeeds the new king of Wei should be Wei Jia!"

Bai Yan put down the bowl and chopsticks. The reason why he said that Wei Jia would be the new King of Chu was that apart from knowing the historical trend, it was also because Bai Yan had met Wei Jia himself. Will definitely support Wei Jia.

Only Wei False is the most in line with the interests of those powerful officials and noble families in the court of Wei State.

The territory of Wei State is not comparable to that of Yan State, Qi State, and Zhao State, let alone Qin State and Wei State. Although the land is fertile and the commerce is developed, due to the limitation of the territory, there are only so many benefits that can be seen, and they are all crowded together No matter which gentry in the court, they can't see too much room for improvement. Instead, they are worried that they will be squeezed out and eventually annexed and wiped out. Therefore, maintaining the original appearance is the best choice for most people .

Wei fake is the best choice under the benefit.

"teacher?"

"Huh? Teacher?"

"teacher?"

However, Lin Anshun and the others did not hear Bai Yan's words. At this moment, Lin Anshun, Xunzhou, Chen Ze, and Fu Yao, who were kneeling behind the wooden table, all looked at Bai Yan in shock, and then looked at Bai Yan with doubts. Old Wei.

Elder Wei already accepted Bai Yan as his apprentice? ?
This is something that Wei Lao has never told the four of them before, how can this not shock the four of them.

One must know that Bai Yan is from Qin, but he is a descendant of the Bai family in Qin State. Isn't Wei Lao always disgusted with violence against Qin?How could he suddenly help Bai Yan, even accept Bai Yan as his apprentice!

Not to mention that Lin Anshun and Xunzhou, who knew old Wei well, were stunned, even Chen Ze and Fu Yao, the sons of the Chen family and the Fu family in Qi State, were all stunned, looking at the scene in front of them at a loss, watching Looking at Old Wei, looking at Bai Yan.

Unless you see it with your own eyes.

They couldn't believe that Elder Wei would accept Bai Yan as his apprentice.

"It's indeed Wei Jia!"

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Old Wei nodded his head in agreement.

When he saw the appearance of Lin Anshun and Xunzhou four people, Wei Lao didn't know what these four people were thinking.

"This old man has accepted Bai Yan as his disciple before!"

Old Wei said, ignoring the shock of the four of them.

"During this period of time, you need to deal with the affairs of Yanmen as soon as possible. The old man has a hunch that King Chu and King Wei have died of illness one after another. This will give Qin an excellent opportunity, and Qin will definitely make big moves."

Wei Lao looked thoughtful, then looked at Bai Yan, and said softly.

To be honest, Mr. Wei has always been very puzzled about King Wei's death. You must know that King Wei is not like King Chu, who has been sick all year round. There was no news about King Wei's body before.

"Ok?"

When Bai Yan heard Wei Lao's words, he raised his head in shock and looked at Wei Lao.

Bai Yan couldn't hear the implication of Old Wei's words, that is, King Wei's death was likely to be killed by King Qin's order, and if this happened, Qin would definitely make a big move next.

"Yes!"

Bai Yan bowed his hands to Old Wei and answered.

Old Wei didn't know what Yingzheng's plan was, but Bai Yan knew that Yingzheng left Li Si alone the last time, and was probably ready to attack Yingchuan, and eventually even the Chu faction would also weaken its power.

Before that, Bai Yan didn't think much about it, but now that he heard Wei Lao's words, although he felt that King Wei was the king of a country after all, he was not so easy to be killed, and there was no real evidence, but a trace of suspicion still appeared in Bai Yan's heart.

Of course, Bai Yan would not speak out the thought in his heart.

Misfortune comes out of the mouth.

Bai Yan knows this truth better than anyone else.

"After you've finished eating, go deal with the important matters in Yanmen first! Lin Anshun and Xunzhou are estimated to leave Yanmen today, so I'll talk to them alone!"

Old Wei said to Bai Yan.

It's not that Mr. Wei has something to say to avoid Bai Yan, but that Mr. Wei knows better than others that how many important matters are piled up in this mansion, which needs to be handled by Bai Yan himself, and with the news of Bai Yan's return, everyone After the victory, not to mention the gentry here in Yanmen Shanwu City, other places in Yanmen, and even other counties, will come to Shanwu to congratulate Bai Yan for many days.

Those people are sophisticated and cannot be ignored.

What's more, Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang, Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang from the state of Chu have visited many times before, both of them are Xiong Lingchu's confidantes. Now that the state of Chu is in chaos, these two will not return to the state of Chu to help Xiong Ling Ru, but waiting for Bai Yan to come back.

This is obviously uneasy and kind!

Coupled with the death of King Wei, Bai Yan might not have leisure time in the future.

"is teacher!"

Bai Yan got up, bowed to Lin Anshun, Xunzhou and others, and signaled his excuse.

Although Lin Anshun and Xunzhou wanted to say something, they did not choose to speak after hearing what Old Wei said. Old Wei was the elder of the two, and they both respected Old Wei from the bottom of their hearts and dared not refute what Old Wei said.

After a few breaths.

Looking at Bai Yan's leaving back.

Xunzhou couldn't hold back in the end, and turned to look at Old Wei.

"Old Wei, Xunzhou doesn't know why Old Wei accepted Bai Yan as his apprentice. Old Wei has never always liked violence against Qin."

Xunzhou cupped his hands and asked.

Lin Anshun, Chen Ze, and Fu Yao also looked at Elder Wei with puzzled eyes.

"One day, you will know!"

Old Wei sighed and shook his head.

The four people in front of them only saw that he accepted Bai Yan as his disciple, but they didn't know that Bai Yan was not only the same as them, he was from Qi country, and even earlier, he was Tian Jin's closed disciple.

Tian Jin
Old Wei thought of his old friend, his eyes were full of longing. Originally, he was planning to wait for Bai Yan to come back, so he went to Qi State himself to pay homage to Tian Jin's tomb at the place Bai Yan said. He never thought that the Xiongnu would go south first. , now that the king of Wei died suddenly, Qin obviously had to make major moves, and the situation in the world would definitely change again.

I have to wait a little longer and help a group of Bai Yan, so that Bai Yan will not be bound by the affairs. In times of turmoil, he can remind Bai Yan by being beside Bai Yan.

Turning his head, he looked at Lin Anshun who had been brought up since he was a child. Right now, Old Wei couldn't tell Lin Anshun that Bai Yan, like Xunzhou, was from Qi. He could only tell Lin Anshun some trivial matters.

"After the two of you went back, you saw Tian Ding"

Inside the study.

After Bai Yan had breakfast, he returned to the study and continued to deal with the accumulated important matters.

Half an hour later, the servant told Bai Yan that the four people who came to visit had left, but Bai Yan did not leave after hearing the words.

Bai Yan believed in Wei Lao, and Bai Yan could always remember the matter of Xiang Yu and Fan Sui in later generations, not to mention that Bai Yanbi knew a word clearly, a family with an old man is like a treasure.

And Wei Lao is far more than a simple treasure.

During the Bao family period, he kept warming Bai Yan's tea, and sat quietly beside Bai Yan in the study room. He didn't say a word to disturb Bai Yan, but just accompanied him quietly.

And as the sun rises.

Bai Yan looked at the scrolls of bamboo slips, and divided them into three categories, one that could be dealt with directly, disposed of, those that needed to be sent to Xianyang, and put aside, and those that needed to go there in person, was just one place.

Hear footsteps.

Bai Yan raised his head, and when he saw Zhao Qiu came to the study accompanied by a maid, Bai Yan put down the bamboo slips, got up slowly, raised his hand, and saluted Zhao Qiu.

"No, in exchange, you remember what you promised me!"

It was the first time Zhao Qiu saw Bai Yan thanking him so solemnly, his beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and he looked aside.

After Bai Yan finished the ceremony, he heard Zhao Qiu's words and looked at Zhao Qiu with a slight smile.

"It's not Bai Yan alone, Woyang, Pingcheng, Shanwu, and even the people of Yanmen County, and tens of thousands of Bianqi!"

Bai Yan said.

Not one person is grateful, together with the tens of thousands of Bianqi and the people of Yanmen County, they should be grateful for Zhao Qiu's news. Without Zhao Qiu's news, no one knows how many people will die.

"You would say it, it's no wonder that Bianqi listened to your tongue and was completely devoted to you!"

When Zhao Qiu heard Bai Yan's words, she didn't know what to think, but she never let Bai Yan go.

Looking at Zhao Qiu's appearance, Bao Shi showed a smile on his face, took out a small wooden cup from the wooden tray placed on the wooden table, and poured a cup of tea.

Inside the study.

As Bai Yan dealt with the accumulated important matters, Zhao Qiu lazily propped up his pretty face, showing off his charming temperament, which would be difficult for an ordinary man to see, wishing to bully her.

"After this time, it is estimated that Young Master Jia will doubt me!"

Zhao Qiu said softly, her beautiful eyes looked at Bai Yan who was looking at the bamboo slips in front of her calmly, she seemed a little helpless, and seemed a little bit lost.

Zhao Wang's bloodline has many, many branches and tribes in Zhao country and even all over the world, many of them have declined, but Zhao Xiaocheng's branch is very little left, let alone the bloodline of King Zhao Mourning.

"Guo Zong must have fled to other places at this time. Young Master Jia's only generation of soldiers and horses are quite old and weak. In addition to the previous drought, although Young Master Jia has a little grain, he can't last long at all. Now Send troops to rescue the country of Yan, and the land will be destroyed!"

Bai Yan glanced at Zhao Qiu, then looked at it with a bamboo slip in one hand, and a teacup in the other, drinking tea lightly.

Inside and outside the words, Bai Yan was telling Zhao Qiu that the young master Jia in Daidi has lost his only power, and it will be difficult to recover his foundation within ten or eight years.

"Do you trust Wang Jian that much?"

Zhao Qiu asked.

In Zhao Qiu's eyes, although Wang Jian is a great general of the Qin State, he is not very strong in terms of battlefield strategy and leading troops in battle. When Wu'an Lord Li Mu was alive, Wang Jian led troops to attack Chu State several times, but in the end he did not fight. And retreat.

Why did Bai Yan believe so much that Wang Jian would win, what if Wang Jian lost!
"Wang Jian is the great general of the Qin State, appointed by Ying Zheng, and he is deeply respected by his colleagues and generals in the Qin State court and even in the army. Such a general can be reassuring anywhere!"

Bai Yan explained.

Looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, suddenly a confidant came to the study in a hurry, and under Bai Yan's gaze, he held a volume of letters and handed it to Bai Yan.

"General, a secret letter from Luoyin!"

The confidant said to Bai Yan, his voice was very soft.

Zhao Qiu and Bao Shi looked at each other when they heard the words, they were very puzzled, Luo Yin and the others were no strangers to each other, it was the fief granted to Bai Yan by Ying Zheng, and after Bai Yan's order, he became a famous businessman. Many merchants from Yanmen who went to Xianyang to do business in Yanmen all praised Luoyin today as a land of merchants.

Looking at the appearance of the soldier right now, it is obvious that this news was sent in haste.

wooden table.

Bai Yan opened the bamboo slips, looked at the contents, and then began to frown tightly. After putting down the bamboo slips, he showed a thoughtful expression, with a dignified look and a hint of doubt.

"who is it?"

Bai Yan said softly, puzzled.

Seeing this, Bao's beautiful eyes looked at Bai Yan.

"General, what happened in Luoyin?"

Bao asked with concern.

Bai Yan glanced at Bao Shi beside him, without hiding anything.

"News came from Luoyin that a body was found in a hut in the city. When the body was discovered, it had been dead for a long time. After investigation by Qin officials, it was reported to Xianyang. It has been confirmed that the deceased is Qu Luan, Lord Youyin of Chu State. Ji Zi. Qu Yi!!!"

When Bai Yan said his name, he looked at Zhao Qiu.

Qu Yi, he knew him, Zhao Guo had not yet fallen, he had met Qu Yi in Handan City, and Qu Yi was Zhao Qiu and his son Jia's guest.

"Qu Yi?"

When Zhao Qiu heard Bai Yan's words, the laziness on her pretty face suddenly disappeared, she raised her head, and stared at Bai Yan with beautiful eyes.

Qu Yi is dead?

Who dared to kill Qu Yi?You know, Qu Yi is a member of the Qu clan of the Chu State, and his father is the right Yin of the Chu State. It can be said that he has a prominent background. Who would have the guts to attack Qu Yi, or in other words, who could actually kill Qu Yi?
Still in Luoyin?
Luoyin is Bai Yan's fiefdom!

"It seems that someone is going to frame you!"

Zhao Qiu said softly.

This is the only possibility Zhao Qiu can think of, that is, someone killed Qu Yi and wanted to frame Bai Yan, but that person did not expect that after Bai Yan left Xianyang, he did not stay in Luoyin, but was worried about Yanmen Under such circumstances, he rushed all night and returned to Yanmen.

Bao Shi looked at Bai Yan worriedly.

Bai Yan didn't say anything when he heard Zhao Qiu's words. Now in Luoyin City, not to mention that there are people taking care of the Bai family, but with the downfall of the three families, other gentry families have gradually emerged. Those gentry families will not let others touch him, let alone Let there be turmoil in Luoyin.

"Where is Xianyang and the Bai family about this matter, they will send people to investigate!"

Bai Yan said.

However, Bai Yan did not have much hope for a clear investigation. The person who can kill Qu Yi is obviously not an ordinary person, and as more and more merchants gather in Luoyin, it is difficult to investigate this matter clearly. Not small.

If he was in Luoyin at this time, he might have known about it early, and there might be a chance to find out who killed Qu Yi.

But right now, he is not in Luoyin, so he can only pin his hopes on the Bai family and Xianyang.

"General, outside the mansion, there are two people asking to see the general! It is said that they are called Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang!"

A maid came to the door and reported to Bai Yan.

Hearing the maid's words, Bai Yan looked at the bamboo slips, thinking about Qu Yi's matter was useless right now, so he could only put it aside, hoping that Bai could investigate clearly.

"I'll go to the Sheriff's Mansion later, and then I'll go to the restaurant, I guess I won't be back until a little later!"

After putting away the bamboo slips, Bai Yan said to Baoshi.

Upon hearing this, Bao Shi nodded.

"Drink less!"

Bao Shi asked softly, on the matter of going to the restaurant, Bao Shi has never stopped Bai Yan. She knows that the reason why Bai Yan often takes other people to the restaurant to drink is not because there are young women in the restaurant who are greedy. The beauty of those women has been silently protecting her, even Zhao Qiu.

Although Bao Shi is not good at fighting power and wits, she also knows that what she can do is to prepare a bowl of hot chicken soup for Bai Yan before he returns.

"Ok!"

Bai Yan smiled at Bao Shi, then got up, saluted Zhao Qiu, and walked out of the study.

Watching Bai Yan leave, Bao Shi looked at Zhao Qiu, and found that Zhao Qiu had been staring at the scroll of bamboo slips sent by Luoyin, in a daze, as if he was thinking about something.

see.

Bao Shi didn't bother Zhao Qiu.

wooden table.

Zhao Qiu didn't pay attention to Bai Yan's departure, and now she looked at the scroll of bamboo slips, full of doubts.

Just now she overlooked one thing, that is Qu Yi, why did she go to Luoyin?Did he hear that Ying Zheng gave Luo Yin a reward for Bai Yan, or was he curious about what happened in Luo Yin, or...
He has already met Bai Yan!

Thinking of this, Zhao Qiu's pupils shrank, and he raised his head in shock.

This is not impossible, but if so, there is one thing that cannot be explained, that is, Qu Yi has already seen Bai Yan and knows that Bai Yan is Xu Zixiao, so who will kill Qu Yi?
Who will help Bai Yan, and even Bai Yan doesn't know?
It's definitely not the Bai family, or Bai Yan's connections. Even if they kill Qu Yi, they are capable enough to dispose of Qu Yi's body.

Who is it?
While Zhao Qiu was thinking, her beautiful eyes kept looking at the scroll of bamboo slips, full of doubts and incomprehensions.

For a long time, he shook his head helplessly.

"Perhaps I was thinking too much. Qu Yi's death must have been caused by someone trying to blame Bai Yan."

Zhao Qiu sighed and turned his head to look out of the window. Now that Chu State was able to resist the chaos of Qin State alone, Zhao State wanted to take this opportunity to restore it. Like Qi State at the beginning, the chances were getting less and less.

Compared to Qu Yi's death, what she can do now is to wait, to wait for the day when Qin State attacks Qi State.

On that day, either she died, or Bai Yan returned to Qi.
