Qin Gong

Chapter 457
The news that the envoys of the Yue clan came to Shanwu spread quickly. For the people of Yanmen, after all, the clothes of the envoys of the Yue clan were somewhat different from those of the Huns, and they were easy to recognize.

As the news spread, some smart people quickly realized that the purpose of the envoys of the Yuezhi must be Yang Jin, the orphan of the former King of the Yuezhi.

Only Yang Jin can explain why the Yue clan sent envoys to Shanwu to ask to see Bai Yan.

Although the content of the discussions between those envoys and Bai Yan is unknown to outsiders, it is said that those envoys of the Yue clan returned without success and did not take Yang Jin with them when they left. Yang Jin stayed in Shanwu, and was even more prepared to keep Yang Jin.

Yingchuan County.

At the beginning of September, the time for farming and autumn harvest is approaching. As a fertile land, no matter how the nobles and nobles live before the autumn harvest, with the arrival of the autumn harvest, everyone will smile happily. Even when they go out to drink and have fun with friends, they will talk more A lot of pride.

The more fields there are, the richer one will be after the autumn harvest.

In Xinzheng City, as the former capital of South Korea, after the fall of Korea, Handi was designated as Yingchuan County. Although Xinzheng was not designated as Yingchuan County, the background of Xinzheng is still there.

At this moment in Xinzheng City, the streets are full of crowds, pedestrians and merchants coming and going, and a carriage passing by from time to time. Against the backdrop of the dazzling array of street shops, it is particularly lively.

A carriage was driven by a coachman and came to a relatively secluded alley.

Going deep along the alley, after turning a corner at the end, the carriage slowly stopped in front of a mansion.

This scene is quite surprising.

One must know that this alley is very quiet, and ordinary people of status do not like the mansion to be built in such a remote place. After all, when entertaining guests, this alley alone will lose face.

On the carriage, a man came out of it. The man was in his fifties, dressed in silk, and his face was full of vicissitudes.

The man glanced around, and when he saw no one, he got out of the carriage, came to the door of the mansion and knocked, and then waited patiently. After a few breaths, the door opened, and an old servant saw the man and hurriedly welcomed him in.

Looking in along the gate, along the man's surroundings, not only the buildings reveal extravagance, but what is surprising is that, walking along the corridor to the yard, unlike the quiet alley outside, there are many men in expensive clothes in the yard at the moment Talk in groups of three or four.

"Brother Yu!"

"Brother Yu!!"

Quite a number of gentry people wearing silk clothes and accompanied by cronies, when they saw the man, they all bowed their hands to salute.

And this 50-year-old man named Yu, while returning the salute, walked along the courtyard, entered the corridor, and finally came to the main hall under the leadership of the servant.

The main hall is full of men of different sizes sitting on both sides at the moment. Judging from the clothing and attire, they are mainly Hanbok, but there are a few people wearing Wei and Chu costumes. There are even some men in commoner clothes with proud faces Standing aside, those people should be all knights of the rivers and lakes.

The originally noisy main hall gradually quieted down after everyone saw Yu's arrival.

"Old Shen, Old Yi!"

In the eyes of everyone, Yu came to the main hall and raised his hands to salute the two white-haired old men in the seat above.

One is the old man of the Shen family, who belongs to the same lineage as the Korean general Shen Armada, and the other is the former Han Wangzong family, named Han Yi. Although Korea was destroyed at the time, many clans had already left Xinzheng in advance, so they survived .

"Zi Yu is here!"

Old Shen nodded when he saw the man.

"Where is the Bao family in Yangzhen, can you be prepared? Now the governor and lieutenant of the Qin State are all in Yangzhen. This time, the Bao family will have to rely on the Bao family for this incident!"

Elder Shen asked, as one of the two elders who made the decision to restore this time, Elder Shen knew better than anyone else that, as the prefecture of Yingchuan, even if Yangzheng could not be taken down, it must be thrown into chaos, the more chaos the better, to buy time.

Therefore, there must be no mistakes in Bao Yu's place. He also personally told Bao Yu that it is very important.

"Don't worry, Mr. Shen! Everything has been prepared. Now in the city of Yangshuo, the Bao family has used all their connections to arrange [-] knights in the city. As long as the time comes, they can kill the sheriff's mansion in an instant."

When Bao Yu heard what Old Shen said, he cupped his hands and said.

And just as Bao Yu's voice fell, within a breath, another voice sounded slowly.

"Ziyu, don't blame the old man for talking too much. Don't let such a villain as Baofu appear again this time. Restoration is a very important matter, and nothing can go wrong!"

Beside Shen Lao, the old man Han Yi, who was also kneeling behind another wooden table, looked at Bao Yu with a flat expression. His fat and fat old face gave people a feeling of aging.

At this moment, Yi Lao's voice is not loud, it seems to be a reminder, but when it reaches other people's ears, a little bit of dissatisfaction can still be vaguely heard.

Everyone in the lobby knew clearly that the reason why Elder Yi stared at Bao Yu and said those words right now was nothing more than the matter of Bao Yu back then. Elder Yi still kept it in his heart and never forgot.

"Elder Yi, don't worry!"

Bao Yu heard Han Yi's words, looked at Han Yi's warning eyes, and clapped his hands in response.

In the seat of honor, Shen Lao sat kneeling behind the wooden table. Hearing Yi Lao's words, he turned his head and looked over, his eyes somewhat helpless. In Shen Lao's eyes, it would be useless to warn Bao Yu right now. Fortunately, it was Bao Yu. I am afraid that the other person will inevitably have suspicions.

Although Bao Fu had done it back then, not to mention that it was a small fault, Bao Yuan, a member of the Bao clan, had already killed him.

What's more, these things have nothing to do with Baoyu. Baoyu has been in Shiqiu more than ten years ago, and he rarely pays attention to the affairs of his tribe.

thought here.

Elder Shen sighed in his heart, this Elder Yi, after all, lacked a little heart.

"Everyone!"

The elderly Han Yi didn't notice the eyes of his friends beside him. When he saw that everyone had arrived, he tapped the ground with his scepter when everyone looked over.

"Thanks to all of you gathered here today to plan great things together, the old man promises today that the day when things are done, when the restoration is restored, you will be honored and rich, and when you become generals, restore Korea and welcome the king of Korea!"

Yi Lao spoke loudly to the crowd with his aged voice, there was no shortage of promises in his words.

However, Yi Lao's words and promises are obviously effective. Following Yi Lao's voice, all the men in the lobby brightened up and looked at Yi Lao excitedly.

"We will do our best to help you!"

"Although we are easy to grow old, welcome the King of Korea and return to Korea!!!"

Several gentry men clasped their hands with joy and shouted, and other people in the hall also shouted at Han Yijili in unison.

Seeing this, Han Yi showed a very satisfied expression on his fat old face, and smiled, as if he could already see that the restoration of South Korea was just around the corner, and it would not take long for South Korea to rise again in his hands.

down the corridor.

Elder Shen walked slowly with Bao Yu.

"There's still no news from Mrs. Wu?"

Elder Shen asked softly.

The Wu family in Xingyang is a great help, and its significance is no less than that of any noble family. What Shen Lao is puzzled is that there has been no news of Wu's siblings.

The Wu family is not just as simple as having a lot of money. Among the Wu family's siblings, Wu Gao is not only an aide to Wang Jia from generation to generation, but also has connections and influence in the world. His eldest sister, Wu Yun, is also quite influential in the Wei Kingdom. Prestige, the restoration of South Korea, it can be said that there are two siblings, just now it is more reassuring.

"No! I have sent people to Daidi to inquire several times, but since Wu Gao left Daidi and went to Xianyang of the Qin Kingdom, there has been no news, and Dai Wang Jia can't be contacted now."

Bao Yu shook his head, and said softly, not only Shen Lao and others, but also he has been trying to find a way to find the Wu siblings, but unfortunately, there has been no news.

"Is there any news about Young Master Cheng?"

Thinking of the Wu siblings, Elder Shen frowned slightly, with a sad expression on his face, but there was nothing he could do if he couldn't find them. Now that the incident was imminent, there must be no delay.

Bao Yu heard what Shen Lao said, and looked at Shen Lao in front of him.

"Still in Chu State!"

Bao Yu said that Bao Yu didn't understand why Shen Lao suddenly wanted to ask Young Master Cheng. He had already made a clear arrangement before, and that Young Master Cheng would return to Xinzheng and become the new king.

"If the old man's guess is correct, Mrs. Zhang should have been protecting Young Master Cheng!"

Old Shen said softly.

Looking at the discussing scholars in the courtyard in the distance, Old Shen looked worried.

As for Zhang's affairs in Chu State, Shen Lao has always been clear about it, but unlike his old friend Han Yi and other gentry, Shen Lao never believed that Zhang Shi would kill Han Ling in the first place.

Without him, Mrs. Shen understands Zhang's family!

In Shen Lao's heart, everyone, all noble families may betray South Korea, but only the Zhang family will not.

"It should be!"

When Bao Yu heard Mr. Shen mention Zhang, his eyes showed a trace of complexity. Han Ling was his son-in-law, and he told Bao Yu rationally that it was impossible for Zhang to kill his son-in-law Han Ling, but the person who saw it with his own eyes was him again. The daughter is violent.

Others Bao Yu didn't believe it, but he had no doubts about his daughter Bao Shu's words. Since Bao Shu saw it with her own eyes, there was absolutely no falsehood.

Therefore, when Bao Yu heard Zhang Shi, he didn't know how to describe that emotion in his heart. Even after so long, he still had a little resentment towards Zhang Shi in his heart.

"Although this planning and careful preparation should be foolproof, the old man is still vaguely worried!"

Old Shen said.

Bao Yu looked at Elder Shen with some doubts, why worry about this, as long as the autumn harvest is complete, not only all their food and grass will be gathered in Xinzheng, but also the food and grass that the Qin State collects taxes can be taken away.

As long as they work together, they can rely on the harvest after the autumn harvest, the hoarded food and wealth, and stick to it in multiple cities.

Once the king of Chu was seriously ill, it was not suitable for Chu to send troops, but now Li Yuan has promised that as long as Xiong You succeeds to the throne, Chu will definitely send troops to help them. Now Qin's army is at the distant Daiyan border.

"grown ups!"

While Elder Shen was talking with Bao Yu, a servant hurriedly came to Elder Shen and handed him a roll of bamboo slips.

Old Shen stopped, took the bamboo slip from the servant's hand, opened it, looked at the content on it, and then sighed.

"Yingzheng really gave the famous sword Zhanlu to Qin general Bai Yan!"

Old Shen put away the bamboo slips and said with emotion.

The famous sword Zhanlu, Mr. Shen has always heard the words of the elders in the clan when they were talking about the sword, and the words are full of yearning.

now.

But it fell into the hands of a Qin general.

"Old Shen, is there any movement in Yanmen? Now that Qin general Bai Yan has the most prestige in Yanmen, and the Huns have just been defeated by him. If he leads the troops south, the situation will be unpredictable!"

Bao Yu was not surprised when he heard Elder Shen's emotion. The news of the famous sword Zhanlu had come from Xianyang before. Although it was not confirmed, he had always been mentally prepared.

Now when Bao Yu heard the words Qin Jiang Bai Yan, he was more worried.

Among the many generals of the Qin State, apart from Wang Jian and his son, it can be said that the most fearful and worrying one is that Qin general Bai Yan.

Wang Jian and his son are famous for winning battles and are extremely stable in leading the army. If they meet on the battlefield, a little negligence will result in disaster. Therefore, Wang Jian and his son are also the Qin generals they are least willing to meet.

And although the Qin general Bai Yan is not a general of the Qin State, he is different from Yang Duanhe, Li Yao, Meng Wu, Changping Jun and others. Did it become famous in the first battle with Gao Nu in Shangjun, or was it the fight against Li Mu later, and the last stand of Jingxing that became famous all over the world.

After each battle, everyone in the world clearly realized how fierce Bai Yan and his cavalry were.

In addition, after the demise of the Zhao Kingdom, all the side riders were under the command of Bai Yan.

Not to mention them, even the ministers and generals in the court of Chu State, when they mentioned Bai Yan, without exception, all of them looked dignified.

Looking at the fate of the Huns some time ago, we know that no less than 6000 Huns died in the Yunzhong Mountains. I heard that their heads were piled up like a mountain outside Yancheng. The battle that took place in the case of Yishui.

"Probably not! Not to mention that the iron cavalry is now with Wang Jian, even the people of Yanmen need to recuperate after experiencing severe drought and man-made disasters. Besides, they have just experienced a big war. rest."

When Shen Lao mentioned Bai Yan, his eyes were full of solemnity.

The situation he least wanted to see was that Qin general Bai Yan led Yanmen to ride southward, but if there were no accidents, given the situation in Yanmen, he should not be able to withdraw and go south.

And as long as the elite Yanmen in Yanmen don't move, the Qin State has been fighting for years, the treasury is empty, and the soldiers are exhausted. With the help of Chu and Wei, they will definitely be able to survive.

"Ziyu, you will return to Yangtang tomorrow, remember, you must keep an eye on the county mansion!"

Elder Shen turned his head, looked at Bao Yu and asked.

"Yu knows it!"

Bao Yu raised his hand, bowing to Shen Lao.

Old Shen looked at Bao Yu and nodded. For Bao Yu's character, Shen Lao still trusted him. He knew that Bao Yu was a man who could stand up to an adult. After thinking about it, he turned his head and looked at the courtyard beside him, looking at those Yingchuan people. The people of the gentry.

"I'm still a little worried! Really~ I don't want Young Master Cheng to return to Xinzheng so soon!"

Elder Shen sighed again.

When Bao Yu heard what Shen Lao said, he looked at Shen Lao in surprise, and then he looked at the people in the courtyard. Those people had been screened and screened, and there was absolutely no way they could have problems.

Bao Yu, who couldn't figure it out and didn't know what to say, stood beside Shen Lao.

Inside Xinzheng City.

Baoshi knelt in the carriage, and as the carriage drove slowly, Baoshi looked worriedly at Bai Yan beside him.

"You've already come here, so don't think about it anymore. Now that the autumn harvest is coming, not only can you stockpile food for those gentry, but also the Qin State has continued to fight and the treasury is empty. This is also the best opportunity for those old clan forces. Speaking of it, Not only those old clans, even Chu and Wei would not be willing to see the grain and grass here in Yingchuan being used by the Qin State, so they secretly help these noble clans. Right now, we just need to be careful this time, and don’t make too much noise, so we won’t worry about it. No matter what happens! It won’t shake the determination of those old clan forces to restore it!”

Bai Yan looked at Bao Shi, comforted him softly, and explained the reason.

Coming to Yingchuan, although there may be troubles, it is really not as dangerous as imagined, so seeing Bao's worried face, Bai Yan couldn't help but smile to reassure him.

If it was too dangerous, he would not decide to go south for the Bao family this time.

"According to the news, your father is now in Xinzheng City!"

Bai Yan said, turned his head, opened the curtain slightly, and watched the people coming and going outside through some gaps.

"Xi, later you take your wife to Xiaoyuan, and I will meet a good friend!"

Bai Yan put down the curtain and turned to look at the brook next to Baoshi, and said softly.

Looking at the stream, Bai Yan felt a little pity in his heart. At this time, Master Xu should have returned to Shanwu. Before he went south, he was worried that something would happen if he procrastinated, so he decided not to wait for Master Xu.

If Master Xu was here, there wouldn't be so many troubles.

As long as they put some poison made by Master Xu in Bao Yu's tea in advance, when they see Bao Yu, even if something happens, Bao Yu will not threaten them at all.

Master Xu is not here right now.

Bai Yan had no choice but to give up, and when he came to Xinzheng, he also went to meet his old acquaintances.

"Beware!"

Bao Shi looked at Bai Yan, although she knew that Bai Yan's swordsmanship was strong, and she had trusted followers in disguise, but she still hoped that Bai Yan would be careful.

Bai Yan nodded slowly when he heard Bao Shi's words.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a shop, Bai Yan stepped out of the carriage, looked at the big characters Lu's shop, got off the carriage, told other cronies to protect the Bao family, and let the driver drive the carriage away.

Bai Yan stayed where he was, looking at the pedestrians passing by, and then approached Lu's shop with two cronies.

After half an hour.

Outside the gate of Cheng Ling's mansion in Xinzheng City, a young shop boy, holding a pack of herbs, came to the gate and knocked.

The door opened slowly, and an old servant stood inside and looked at Bai Yan.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Seeing the boy, the old servant frowned slightly and asked impatiently.

Hearing this, the servant bent over and smiled apologetically, then looked around.

"This is the aphrodisiac that my lord asked the shopkeeper to find before. Now that the herbal medicine is delivered, the shopkeeper will send it to my lord!"

The boy said softly.

While speaking, he also picked up the herbal medicine in his hand, indicating that he was not lying.

Listening to the boy's explanation, the old servant learned that what the boy was holding in his hand was the aphrodisiac medicine that the adults had asked about before. Looking at the boy's clothes and his slightly thin appearance, he had no doubts.

"come in!"

The old servant said, and then let the boy approach the mansion.

As for the young man in front of him, the old servant was not worried that the young man would lie to him, after all, this thin and frail young man dared to deceive others, but he couldn't walk out of the gate of the mansion, and even dragged him directly outside the city to be buried alive.

in the mansion.

The old servant led them to a room by the yard, but before he got close, he heard some movement in the room. It seemed that there were more than two people, a man and a woman!

After all, the old servant was a bit old, so he didn't react at first, but when he vaguely heard 'General Bai', his expression froze, he thought of something, turned his head, and noticed the strange appearance of the young servant.

"Go to the yard and wait first, the adults still have some important things to deal with, don't disturb!"

As the old servant spoke, apart from the unnatural disappearance of that moment, in less than a breath, the old servant's expression didn't even change much.

Seeing this, the boy looked at the old servant, and at the room behind the old servant where the voice was still faintly coming from, and nodded with a strange expression on his face.

This young man is Bai Yan, hearing what Gou Ze made, he couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't know what to say.

Since the last time we met, Gou Ze has not only been promoted, but also has more and more tricks! ! !
Thinking back to the first time I met Gou Ze, Gou Ze was also enjoying himself with his concubine in the room during the day, and after rushing into the room at that time, many soldiers had a good time because of it.

Unexpectedly, many gentry in the city are quietly preparing to rebel, and Gou Ze is still the same.

Walking to the stone bench in the yard, turning his head to look at the room, recalling the movement he heard just now, Bai Yan always had a premonition, if he continued to do so, he might die on the bed one day sooner or later.

But just thinking about it, there was a faint voice of a woman calling 'General Bai', that General Bai?

Bai Yan frowned slightly, with some doubts in his mind.

There seemed to be very few people with the Bai surname in the world, and as generals, except for the Bai family in Mei County and the Baiqi family in Pingyang, they were the descendants of Duke Sun Bai of Chu State. There were indeed generals with the Bai surname.

Could it be that there are generals from the state of Chu in there?
Bai Yan thought about it, then shook his head, Gou Ze would never betray him, now that Gou Ze has joined the old Korean clan, no matter what in the future, it will be difficult to end well, Gou Ze is not stupid, and will never betray him.

Even if it was really the general of Chu State, it must be Gou Ze's person.
