Qin Gong

Chapter 462 The news that Xiong You was killed.

In the city of Yangshuo.

Naturally, Bai Yan didn't know what those women said in Bao's mansion, after leaving the mansion at this moment, Bai Yan came to the place that he had made an appointment with his confidant Lou Feng.

"General!"

Lou Feng saw Bai Yan coming and saw no one around, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"What about the rest?"

Bai Yan looked at Lou Feng and asked.

"General, please follow me!"

Lou Feng said to Bai Yan, then took Bai Yan, walked around several alleys, and came to a remote courtyard, knocked on the door, and took Bai Yan in after the door opened.

In the courtyard, a dozen or so men came into view, sharpening their swords and practicing martial arts.

"General!"

"General!!"

When a group of men saw Bai Yan, they all stopped what they were doing and saluted Bai Yan.

Bai Yan nodded, looking at the disguised soldiers in front of him.

After deciding to come to Yangtang, except for some of the people brought by Bai Yan who escorted Baoshu back to Yanmen, the rest all followed to Yangtang. Due to the large number of people, Bai Yan only brought two people into the Baoshu together. Mansion, the others are all hidden in the city.

"General, six other people have gone out to investigate the news!"

Lou Feng said to Bai Yan.

When Lou Feng was talking, he saw Bai Yan coming, and a disguised soldier brought out a plate of gold from the room, about four to fifty yuan. The token, the gold that I went to Lu's shop to ask for.

"General, this is the money obtained!"

The soldiers came to Bai Yan with the gold.

Bai Yan glanced at the gold, but did not choose to take it, but turned to look at Lou Feng.

"Those people have more than 300 people, and it's definitely not enough to fight for food charity in the violent mansion alone! Lou Feng, take these money with you these two days, and take turns to investigate in the city to find out who was responsible for those people's food charity in the past !"

Having said this, Bai Yan glanced at the soldiers in the yard.

"Before the autumn harvest, there shouldn't be any important things. If there is a chance, I will take the soldiers to relax. I finally come out. I don't need to worry about money. In addition to having fun, I also inquired about the situation in the city. Let's see if anything serious happened."

Bai Yan instructed.

"No! General, don't worry!"

Lou Feng raised his hand to accept the order, and nodded slowly.

Seeing that the gold had been taken, Bai Yan ordered some things, and after everything was explained clearly, he turned and left.

In the city of Yangshuo.

Bai Yan was walking on the street, looking at the passers-by, with a pensive expression on his face. The reason why he came to Yangtang was because Bai Yan suspected that the purpose of those gentry might be Tian Xian who is now serving as the envoy.

But it's just speculation right now, and no definite news has been received yet.

"General!"

While Bai Yan was thinking, two men came to Bai Yan's side together.

These two men are the two cronies that Bai Yan brought into the Tyrant's Mansion. After Bai Yan left the Tyrant's Mansion, the two waited for a while, and then left the Tyrant's Mansion together. The servant will notify them.

Bai Yan watched the two cronies arrive, and before he could speak, there was a noise from the street ahead.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!!"

Bai Yan followed the sound and saw many Qin officials driving away pedestrians on the street.

Seeing this, Bai Yan also moved out of the way with his cronies.

Immediately afterwards, under Bai Yan's watchful eyes, a carriage was slowly driving in the distant street. Surprisingly, that carriage did not seem to be one of those extremely private carriages, but a carriage with only a sunshade. Carriage with no shelter around.

As the carriage approached, Bai Yan could clearly see that there was a coquettish woman and a 27-year-old man on the carriage.

The sound of the wheels was heard, and the carriage passed in front of him. Bai Yan noticed that the people in Yangzheng seemed to be familiar with it, but Bai Yan was a little puzzled, why the man was not wearing an official uniform, not even a rank, not to mention It seems important and official, but it can make so many Qin officials clear the way on the street.

"Gentleman Xi is going to take the beauty to hunt again!"

"No, I heard that two days ago, outside the city, on the side of Xitou Mountain, the gentlemen of the Jun family and the Hao family hunted a deer. I must have heard the news, so he took the beauty and went there. Show your skills."

On the street, the people who gave way just now started talking in low voices after seeing the carriage leaving.

Bai Yan walked slowly with his cronies, listening to the discussions of the surrounding people.

樗！
When Bai Yan heard this surname, he suddenly recalled in his mind that he had met an official with the surname of Chu, Ying Chen Chengshou, Chu An!

In the past, he was ordered to lead the cavalry to escort Han Wangan to Yingchen, and it was Yin Xi'an who received him.

Could it be that the man just now has something to do with Xi'an?
Bai Yan thought about it, walked forward, and soon brought two close friends to a restaurant. According to Lou Feng just now, the restaurant in front of him is the best restaurant in Yangshuo City.

Bai Yan glanced at the restaurant in front of him, but walked towards the gate of the restaurant without hesitation.

"Hey, guest, please!"

The two women standing outside the restaurant saw the three of Bai Yan, and when they saw that the three of them were holding sabers around their waists, they stepped forward to greet them with smiles on their faces.

The three of Bai Yan were already familiar with this scene, and followed the woman into the restaurant.

"How many gentlemen? Do you want a private room?"

The woman brought Bai Yan into the restaurant, and asked with a smile as she walked.

Bai Yan glanced at the restaurant in front of him, and then, under the gaze of the woman, raised his hand with a calm expression, pointing to a wooden table in a corner on the first floor.

"Just sit at that table!"

Bai Yan said, and then took out three coins from his pocket.

"One more jug of wine!"

Bai Yan said.

Following Bai Yan's words and the three coins in her hand, the woman's expression instantly changed dramatically, and the smile on her face disappeared visibly to the naked eye. She glanced at Bai Yan and saw the child coming.

"Take the three of them there! That table!"

The woman reached out and gently took the three coins in Bai Yan's hand, handed them to Xiao Er, then pointed to the table in the corner and said, then turned around and left immediately without pausing, and walked straight to the gate of the restaurant.

I don't blame the woman, not only this restaurant, but also other restaurants, restaurants in other cities, apart from the height of the floors, are also divided into private rooms and small rooms, and the prices are naturally different. The cheapest ones are the tables on the first floor. Generally, the people sitting at these tables are either poor, poor, or extremely picky. In short, any woman in a restaurant knows that the ones sitting on the first floor are the cheapest ones. Alcohol, leave after drinking, and will not order a woman to accompany him at all.

"Three guests, please!"

After Xiao Er took over the three money, she didn't have the power of a woman. After all, as Xiao Er, she was already in charge of the chores on the first floor, and she was used to it, and it was not his turn to deliver wine in the private room.

"Thank you!"

Bai Yan nodded, cupped his hands and said.

Seeing this, the other two confidantes knew Bai Yan's identity and didn't pay too much attention to the woman's appearance just now. Then, led by Xiao Er, they followed Bai Yan to a wooden table in the corner and sat down.

After a while.

A jug of wine and a stack of dried beans were delivered to the wooden table.

Bai Yan didn't mind whether the wine was good or bad, and when he saw the wine coming up, he picked up the wine jug and poured wine into the wooden cup on the table. Seeing this, the other two confidantes immediately became a little apprehensive and apprehensive.

Fortunately, after seeing Bai Yan's eyes, the two settled down, but they still looked a little restless.

After all, in their eyes, Bai Yan is a general.

How can a general toast their soldiers? They have never heard of it, let alone seen it.

"In the past, I was very busy, and I rarely had the opportunity to drink like this. Speaking of which, I have traveled all the way and experienced life and death together. I haven't learned anything about you yet. Take this opportunity to tell me about the people in my family and some of my hometown. Interesting, how?"

After Bai Yan poured the wine, he picked up the wooden cup with both hands and said with a smile.

Seeing Bai Yan's toast, the two confidantes quickly picked up the wine glasses and returned the salute to Bai Yan.

These two cronies, one named Nong and the other Zhang Liang.

The next few hours.

Bai Yan patiently listened to the two of them talking about family affairs, their wife, children, old mother, and interesting stories about their hometown.

During the period, Bai Yan noticed that many Qin officials in official costumes came to this restaurant separately with some men.

Bai Yan silently remembered how many people there were.

As several hours passed, from the morning to the sunset, the waiter in the restaurant would come over every other hour. Fortunately, Bai Yan would refill a jug of wine appropriately at this time, which did not let him down. Xiao Er was in a dilemma.

The sky outside the window gradually turned dark, more and more people came to the restaurant, and the environment on the first floor became more and more noisy.

The two confidantes also paid attention to propriety when speaking, so as not to be noticed by others, but after sitting there for a whole day, Bai Yan was asking about the two of them, and had no intention of inquiring about the news at all. The two looked at each other with puzzled eyes .

"Gentleman, please come in! Come in!!"

Suddenly, amidst the noisy discussion, the enthusiastic voices of two women came, which immediately quieted the surrounding voices a lot. Many people followed the sound and saw two women leading a group of eight or nine men to the restaurant Inside.

"Gentleman upstairs, please! There is a first-class private room!"

The woman enthusiastically leads the way.

But what surprised the woman was that the leading middle-aged man suddenly saw something and stopped in his tracks, and the other men in common clothes behind him also stopped after seeing this.

Under the eyes of many men, the middle-aged man suddenly whispered something to the woman, and saw the woman walking towards the corner of the first floor.

"Uncle, who is that person?"

Behind the middle-aged man, a younger man asked curiously, he didn't understand why Xi'er's father was determined, so why did he ask the woman to invite him to the private room together.

"Those three people were brought back by brother yesterday!"

Baoding sighed and explained.

While speaking, Bao Ding saw that the woman in the distance had already walked back, and the three of them got up one after another, stood beside the wooden table and saluted, and did not follow the woman.

Seeing this, Bao Ding nodded in satisfaction.

It's sensible!

In the middle of the night.

In Bao's mansion, Bao Yu looked at the letter in his hand, when the servant told Bai Yan to return to the mansion, Bao Yu hurriedly asked the servant to invite Bai Yan to come over.

After a while.

Bai Yan, who had just returned home, followed his servants to Bao Yu's study.

"My lord!"

Bai Yan looked at Bao Yu and raised his hand in salute.

By candlelight.

When Bao Yu saw Bai Yan, he also raised his hand to return the salute, and waited for the servant to leave.

"I heard you went to the restaurant today?"

Bao Yu looked at Bai Yan, and asked softly as Bai Yan smelled of alcohol.

"Go and see the situation in the city. Compared with other places, restaurants are not only well-informed, but also the easiest way to see the relationship between the nobles and officials in a place."

Bai Yan nodded. Today in the restaurant, what he saw and heard, he finally understood why Yingchuan was in such a mess.

In the past, Bai Yan knew that Yingchuan was in chaos, but he never thought that it would be so chaotic. From the city captain to the ordinary officials, they all mixed with the gentry.

Even in the restaurant, Bai Yan personally heard some people say that if you want to become a Qin official, you just need to join the gentry, and when you become the confidant of the gentry, those gentry will ask the main officials in Yangyang City to arrange positions.

When Bai Yan heard these words, he couldn't help shaking his head.

Bai Yan knew what was behind these words, which meant that almost half of the Qin officials in Yangshuo City were members of the gentry, or even more than half.

This is the prefecture of Yingchuan County!

Not anywhere else.

thought here.

Bai Yan looked at Bao Yu in front of him, Bao Yu had been out all the time and rarely returned to Yangzheng, maybe even Baoyu didn't know the current situation of Yangzheng.

"That's not bad!"

When Bao Yu heard Bai Yan's words, he thought for a while, and nodded in agreement. After he finished speaking, Bao Yu took a roll of bamboo slips and handed them to Bai Yan.

"The news came from the Chu Kingdom today that King Xiong You of Chu has been killed! It was the work of Xiong Lingchu's disciples!"

Bao Yu told Bai Yan about the killing of King Xiong You of Chu.

After agreeing to Bai Yan, he no longer devoted himself to the restoration. Now that he calmed down and looked at each incident, Bao Yu realized how ridiculous the restoration was, and finally understood why Bai Yan would say that it is better to let the young master To spend this life safely.

That is the new king of Chu!

Compared with Yingchuan, the territory here is several times vaster, and the state of Chu, known as Chu State with millions of soldiers, Xiong You is the king of a country!
However, it was just like this. It was only two months before he succeeded to the throne. Xiong You, who had just ascended the throne of Chu, was killed by others. Now I think back to Shen Lao and Han Lao. In Chu State, he helped Xiong You and Li Yuan compete for the throne.

"Xiong You was killed, I'm afraid it will affect the rebellion! And in two days, I may have to go to Chu State!"

Bao Yu said to Bai Yan, his eyes were worried.

If the rebellion does not happen, then Bao Yu will not be able to go north with peace of mind. In Bao Yu's eyes, he knows better than anyone else that in the clan, his uncle and brother Zhong are uncles, and he will never Will let this opportunity go, once he leaves, father and the others will definitely participate in the riot again in the future.

A showdown is also impossible. If you want to tell your father and others the truth, you can only wait for the turmoil to end.

Right now, although Bai Yan will not be in any danger, once the news spreads, it will definitely scare all the gentry at that time. Not to mention that all the gentry will hide, even in Xianyang, they will not be spared. Shi, even angered Bai Yan.

There are too many people in the clan, and they have different ideas. At the moment, no one can guarantee whether the news will be leaked.

"Indeed! Knowing that Xiong You was killed, all the rebellious gentry in Yingchuan County will be terrified!"

After reading the bamboo slips, Bai Yan frowned slightly. Although Xianyang would definitely do something, the Yingchuan turmoil was definitely a certainty, but the news of King Chu's death spread to Xianyang, and then Xianyang made a decision and ordered people to send orders to Yingchuan, it all takes time.

Before that, the Yingchuan gentry will definitely send people to Chu State again.

"If you really go to Chu State, I hope to find out the detailed plans of those gentry! I will stay in Yangtang and watch the Bao family!"

Bai Yan returned the bamboo slips to Bao Yu, and after much deliberation, Bai Yan still decided not to go to Chu State, although Bai Yan also wanted to take this opportunity to go to Chu State to see his little uncle first, and also take a look at the The little aunt who has never met, and the children of the little uncle, look at the family of the little uncle.

But after all, it still doesn't feel like it's not the right time.

At this moment, he and Bao Yu must have someone watching from the sun, otherwise, if there is a slight change, they can only watch helplessly, and there is nothing they can do.

As for Bao Yu going to Baiyan of Chu State, he is not worried.

Bao Yu's affiliation with South Korea was not as high as imagined. What he was really obsessed with in his heart was nothing more than wanting to restore the glory of his ancestors in the past. Bao Shu was in Yanmen, so it was destined that Bao Yu would never have any thoughts about Korea in the future.

Also because of Bao Shu's anonymity, for Bao Yu, among all the vassal states, Qin is the only choice.

Therefore, Bai Yan was not worried about Bao Yu going to Chu country.

"Okay! If I really want to go to Chu State, here in the Tyrant Mansion, I'll be fine!"

Bao Yu took the bamboo slips and said softly.

No one knows that his daughter Bao Shu is still alive, so under such circumstances, Bao Yu knows that no one will suspect him. Bai Yan wants to know how Shen Lao and others are going to win the country of Qi. He has a chance to go to Chu country this time. Know.
