Qin Gong

Chapter 476 The Arrival of Wang Ben

It was not yet bright, the stars receded, and the sky gradually became hazy.

In the courtyard of the mansion.

Bai Yan, who got up early, came to the yard wearing a striped black dress sewn stitch by stitch by Bao Shu.

There are more than 20 soldiers in the courtyard, including Nong, Zhang Liang and others.

These 20 people are all Bai Yan's confidantes, people who know the root and the bottom, and believe in it. This time escorting Yang Jin to the Qiang people is a difficult journey. No one is sure. When it will be dangerous at any time. Don't worry, so Bai Yan decided to ask Nong and Zhang Liang to escort Yang Jin to the Qiang people with the soldiers.

"General!"

Seeing Bai Yan approaching, Zhang Liang and Nong bowed their hands to salute Bai Yan.

"Kou Zhuang has already mobilized the scout battalion and scouted all the way on the road. Go early and return early. Bai Yan is in Shanwu, and prepares good wine for everyone!"

Bai Yan said to Zhang Liang and Nong, and then raised his head to look at the soldiers in front of him. They are all Bai clan iron cavalry. They have known each other since they attacked Korea, and they are even more elite now.

When the letter was sent to Xianyang, Bai Yan had already sent the letter to General Wang Jian to transfer Kou Zhuang and the scout battalion back and deploy them on Santiao's journey to the Qiang people. Safety.

As long as Zhang Liang and the others carry the token, they can call the soldiers of the scout battalion along the way.

"Don't worry, General!"

Hearing Bai Yan's words, whether it was Zhang Liang or the soldiers in the courtyard, they all smiled and saluted Bai Yan.

Yang Jin has been standing silently in the yard. Even if Bao Shu is with him, Yang Jin can't talk to others. Even if he doesn't understand the language, Yang Jin can't understand what they say, but looking at the scene in the yard in front of him , Yang Jin kept looking at the boy.

The longer she came to Shanwu, the more she understood this boy.

Before her people were killed, she knew many things about this young man, and she also knew the prestige of this young man in the Qin army.

Recalling the scene yesterday, her eyes were full of complexities.

No one could understand how desperate she was when she was crushed by that Mi Jing, seeing her enemy in front of her eyes helplessly and helpless.

When the sound of the door being knocked open, followed by the light, not a while later, when she saw the young man appearing from the corner, pointing at the enemy Mi Jing with a sword, and walking forward step by step, she just Completely relieved and relieved.

At that time, she had only one thought in her mind.

he came.

With him, everything will be fine.

Even she didn't understand why this idea came up instinctively. You must know that when her tribe, Yuezhi, went south, tens of thousands of tribesmen died at the hands of that young man. Less than one-thousandth of that boy.

But, she didn't hate the boy as much as she imagined.

Perhaps it was her Yue clan and the Xiongnu who took the initiative to invade the territory of Qin State, that young man had no choice but to live or die.Or maybe fate has tricked people. It has not been two years since the incident in Gaonu City, but she appeared in front of the young man, and the young man wanted to protect her.

"Let's go!"

After Bai Yan ordered some things, he came to Bao Shi, said to Bao Shi, then glanced at Yang Jin, bowed his hands, and made a gesture of please.

Yang Jin who kept looking at Bai Yan, although she couldn't understand Bai Yan's words, she understood what the gesture meant, she nodded, and followed Bao Shu and Bai Yan towards the outside of the mansion.

Shan Wucheng.

It was not yet dawn, the rooster had not crowed, and the people in the city were still sleeping soundly.

And at the gate of Nancheng, several Qin officials opened the gate, and a group of more than [-] people in a carriage walked slowly towards the outside of the city.

Bai Yan led Bao Shu to stand at the top of the city, watching the team that looked like black dots all leave, walking towards the south and gradually disappearing, and then, watching the light gradually appearing in the eastern sky in the distance.

And it was less than two hours before Bai Yan sent Yang Jin away.

Outside Shanwu City, more than a hundred Qin soldiers rode war horses, led by a general, to the gate of Shanwu City.

With the city gate opened.

"Why close the city gate?"

The leading general looked at Shanwu City in front of him, his eyes full of doubts.

The person who came was Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian. This time, Wang Ben received an edict from Xianyang and was about to return to Qin. He came to Yanmen when he was passing by.

"Return to the general, a murder occurred in the city yesterday, under the order of the city guard, the whole city is searching for the murderer!"

After learning that it was General Wang Ben who came, the Qin officials who opened the city gate were all taken aback, and the leader of the Qin officials hurriedly handed over their hands and reported to Wang Ben the reason for closing the city gate.

"Murder?"

Wang Ben was puzzled when he heard Qin Li's words.

Immediately under Wang Ben's questioning, the leader of the Qin officials told what happened yesterday. After a while, Wang Ben realized that such a big murder happened in Shanwu City just the day before.

But Wang Ben was not surprised to learn Bai Yan's judgment from Qin officials, Wang Ben knew Bai Yan's ability well.

"Has Yang Jin been found?"

Wang Ben rode a war horse and looked at the city gate in front of him. Since Yang Jin was still in the city, all that remained was how to find Yang Jin.

Seeing this, the official Qin glanced at Wang Ben and raised his hand in salute.

"Go back to General Wang Ben, but he hasn't been found yet. At this time, the city order is still leading people to search the line in the city!"

The Qin official reported the report, bowed his head and bowed his head.

The other soldiers on horseback looked at each other when they heard Qin Li's words, and after hearing what happened here in Shanwu City, the leading general rode forward.

"General, do you need our help to chase down the fleeing Yan family?"

The general came to Wang Ben's side and asked softly.

The thing happened yesterday, looking at the gray and white scene behind him, one can tell that the snow that fell yesterday has not yet melted completely, and right now in Shanwu City, there may not be any soldiers who are good at chasing people at this time.

"No, enter the city first!"

Hearing what the cronies said, Wang Ben looked at the cronies, was silent for a while, then looked straight at Qin Li, and shook his head.

Different from the soldiers behind him, who is Wang Ben? When the Qin official reported, Wang Ben noticed that the Qin official's eyes seemed to be a little evasive. When he spoke just now, he hesitated a little. Obviously, the biggest reason was his identity. , causing Qin officials to hesitate whether to tell the truth.

Thinking of this, Wang Ben's eyes flashed with surprise.

Could it be
Bai Yan has found Yang Jin!

"Lu Bu, I can bring four soldiers into the city, and you take all the soldiers and stay outside the city for inspection!"

Wang Ben thought, tilted his head slightly, and ordered.

"promise!"

Hearing Wang Ben's words, Lu Bu raised his hand to receive the order, then turned around on horseback, and stayed outside the city gate with the soldiers behind him.

After knowing that the Qin official was lying, Wang Ben did not make things difficult for the Qin official, and even walked towards the city with four cronies without knowing the reason.

In Bai Yan's mansion.

In the absence of Mr. Wei, Bai Yan still maintained the habit of reading books every day. Sitting across from the wooden table, Mrs. Bao was lying on the wooden table, sleeping very soundly. Accompanying Yang Jin and getting up early, Bao Shi couldn't bear the tiredness, and fell asleep lying on the wooden table while accompanying Bai Yan.

Bai Yan looked at Bao Shi's fair and beautiful face, and after a few breaths, he continued to look at the bamboo slips.

He had discussed the matter of Mi Jing with Elder Yang, and tried to delay it as much as possible. After all, Yang Jin had just left Shanwu. If the news was sent to Xianyang too early, once the news reached the ears of Mucha and even the officials of the Chu family, at that time Yang Jin's life is about to be in danger again.

It would take at least a month before Bai Yan and Yang Lao planned to send Mi Jing's matter to Xianyang.

At this moment.

Outside the main door of the study, Xu Shi suddenly came to Bai Yan in a hurry.

"General! Officials from outside the mansion came to report that Wang Ben is already in the county guard's mansion in the city. Commander Yang asked the general to go!"

Master Xu said to Bai Yan.

When Bai Yan heard Wang Ben's arrival, he was very surprised and nodded.

Hearing the movement, the sleeping Bao Shu dimly opened her eyes, looking at Bai Yan who got up with some doubts.

"Wang Ben is here, I'm going to the governor's mansion! Madame is resting in the mansion!"

Bai Yan explained to Bao Shu.

Seeing this, Bao Shu stared at Bai Yan with her gentle beautiful eyes, and nodded.

After half an hour.

When Bai Yan came to the Sheriff's Mansion, he followed the servants to the study and saw Old Yang and Wang Ben chatting in the study.

Seeing Bai Yan coming, the two got up one after another.

"General White!"

Wang Ben was the first to salute.

"General Wang!"

Naturally, Bai Yan also raised his hand to return the salute. After the three saluted each other, they knelt and sat in front of the wooden table.

"I have heard that General Wang Ben has been leading the army to attack the Yan Kingdom before. I don't know why he is here today?"

It was not the first time Bai Yan and Wang Ben met, so after Bai Yan sat down on his knees, he was not overly polite, but asked directly out of curiosity.

After finishing speaking, Bai Yan glanced at Old Yang.

Seeing Bai Yan's gaze, Mr. Yang turned his head slightly to the left and right to indicate that it was not what Bai Yan thought.

"I heard that the king gave the sword Zhanlu to General Bai. Wang Ben had heard Zhanlu's name for a long time. He just received the edict and returned to Xianyang, so he specially came to visit because of the name. This move is quite presumptuous. I hope General Bai will not blame him!"

Wang Ben raised his hand to salute, and explained softly.

Bai Yan was a little surprised when he heard Wang Ben's words. He glanced at Zhan Lu on his waist and couldn't help but feel a little emotional at the moment. The name Zhan Lu really exceeded his imagination, and even Wang Ben came here specially for it.

thought here.

Bai Yan took Zhan Lu from his waist, held Zhan Lu in both hands and handed it to Wang Ben.

"Please take a look, General Wang!"

Wang Ben came all the way to Shanwu, so Bai Yan would not be so stingy that he didn't even want to show Wang Ben his sword.

"Thank you!"

After Wang Ben expressed his gratitude to Bai Yan, he took Zhan Lu with both hands very carefully, then carefully looked at the famous sword in his hand, and stretched out his hand to caress it like a peerless beauty.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yan and Old Yang didn't find it strange.

From ancient times to the present, there are very few men who don't like swords. In the Spring and Autumn Period, an ordinary sword can symbolize status, let alone those precious swords, and the famous swords above the precious swords.

And Zhanlu is the only famous sword in the world that triggered the national war. There are too many legends about it.

This is hard for any man to resist.

"Good sword!"

Wang Ben pulled back the scabbard, and when he saw the blade, he couldn't help admiring. As the son of Wang Jian, Wang Ben was the general of the Qin State. There are countless swords hidden in the mansion, but any one is enough to make outsiders Even the sword of obsession can hardly compare to the Zhanlu in front of him.

I don't know if it's because of its legend, Wang Ben just looked at the scabbard, even if there were some faint traces on it, he felt that there was a story, which made him fantasize about those legends, and his heart was full of yearning.

"If you can hold this sword in your life, you will have no regrets!"

Wang Ben's eyes were full of flickering, the obsessive eyes made both Yang Lao and Bai Yan a little ashamed, I am afraid that other men's eyes when they see a beauty are not as good as Wang Ben's.

Neither Yang Lao nor Bai Yan expected that Wang Ben would be so obsessed with swords.

In the eyes of Yang Lao and Bai Yan, Wang Ben took a deep breath, carefully put the sword in the scabbard, then held Zhanlu in both hands, and handed it back to Bai Yan.

With such a move, both Yang Lao and Bai Yan couldn't help looking at Wang Ben with admiration.

If Mi Jing could have half of Wang Ben's determination, I'm afraid she wouldn't be where she is today.
"General Wang is going back to Xianyang?"

Bai Yan took Zhanlu back with both hands, placed it on his waist, and looked at Wang Ben with some doubts.

Jicheng, the capital of the Yan Kingdom, has not yet been breached. At this time, Wang Ben was suddenly transferred back to Xianyang?
"My lord, it seems that I want General Wang Ben to attack Chu!"

Elder Yang spoke at this time.

This was what Wang Ben said in person before Bai Yan came, and it was also included in the edict.

Thinking of the edict, it was said that Yingchuan was in turmoil, and there were shadows of Chu State everywhere behind it, so he planned to take advantage of the opportunity of Changping Jun to calm down the chaos, let Wang Ben lead the army to attack Chu State, so as to frighten Chu State.

Think of these.

Elder Yang frowned a little. It would be too risky to attack Chu State at this time, logically the king would never be so impatient.

"Attack Chu?"

When Bai Yan heard Yang Lao's words, he looked at Yang Lao in surprise, and when he looked at Wang Ben, Wang Ben also nodded at him.

Unlike Mr. Yang, he knew that the riot in Yingchuan was to set up a trap for Lord Changping. When Bai Yan heard Wang Ben's words, he almost immediately thought of Xianyang's plan. Any attack on Chu State was fake. The purpose, I am afraid, is to take over Yingchuan military power.

The state of Chu had just experienced the killing of the king, and at this time, the state of Chu was in great chaos, so there was no need to pay attention to it.

Xianyang's plan should be to use the excuse of attacking Chu to transfer the Yingchuan army and remove the military power from Lord Changping and Lord Changwen.

And want to be the capital of Chu.

Bai Yan couldn't help but think of his little uncle, and Lu Burt's daughter who had been entrusted to investigate.

By the way, there is also the uncle who sold Cen Qing and took Zilu to Chu State.

"By the way, there is one more thing, Wang Ben wants to take the liberty of asking General Bai!"

When Bai Yan was thinking, Wang Ben suddenly looked at Bai Yan, hesitated for a while, and asked with his hands clasped.

Bai Yan came back to his senses, looked at Wang Ben, nodded, and returned the salute.

"General Wang Ben, please speak!"

Bai Yan asked.

Wang Ben looked at Old Yang beside him, and then looked at Bai Yan.

"I don't know how General Bai plans to deal with Mi Jing?"

Wang Ben's face was full of disappointment.

When Wang Ben came to the sheriff's mansion, he knew what Mi Jing was doing just now. Wang Ben never expected that the mastermind behind the murder heard at the city gate was actually his good friend, Yanmen Supervisor. Yu Shi Mi Jing, the son of Lord Changping.

In addition to being shocked, Wang Ben also had mixed feelings and was extremely disappointed. He and Mi Jing were friends for many years. Mi Jing dared to disregard Xianyang's edict and snatch Yang Jin behind Yang Lao and Bai Yan's back. Wang Ben didn't know what to say.

Where did Mi Jing have the courage to make such a heinous mistake?

Inside the study.

The warmth from the stove, feeling the cold wind whizzing past the window, makes people want to stay around the stove all day.

However, Bai Yan, who was kneeling behind the wooden table, looked at Wang Ben's words and exchanged glances with Mr. Yang. At the moment, neither of them was in the mood to experience the comfort by the fire, because although Wang Ben didn't say anything, how could the two of them listen? Wang Ben's intention of interceding was not revealed.

Although the two of them had expected that countless people would plead for mercy yesterday, it came much earlier than they imagined.

And the first person to intercede was Wang Jian's son, General Qin Wang Ben.

"Still thinking about it! General Wang Ben, you must know that Mi Jing not only killed a few members of the Yue family, but also let the Yan family kill more than a dozen soldiers. General Wang Ben has been leading the army all year round. If you don't punish severely, the generals of the Yanmen will be chilled!"

Bai Yan raised his hand, and said to Wang Ben helplessly, hoping that Wang Ben could put himself in his shoes and think about it.

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Wang Ben's breathing became disordered, and he nodded in a daze. He naturally knew what Bai Yan meant, but thinking about Mi Jing's matter, if Bai Yan didn't speak up, he would surely die, Wang Ben couldn't help feeling flustered.

And in Wang Ben's eyes, Bai Yan and Yang Lao looked at each other, and then looked over again.

"Furthermore, only General Wang Ben knows about this right now. Bai Yan still hopes that General Wang Ben can hide this matter! If General Wang Ben wants to save Mijing's life, he can only plead for mercy in front of the king in private. If the news If it gets out, not only Mi Jing will die, but Chang Wenjun and General Wang Ben will be implicated!"

Bai Yan said.

At this moment, I don’t blame Bai Yan as a villain, but Bai Yan is really worried about the relationship between Wang Ben and Mi Jing. Then something really big will happen.

That's why Bai Yan just specially reminded that there are only a few people who know about this matter, and before the matter spreads, go to Yingzheng in private to plead for mercy, and not let too many people know!
Once it gets out, Mi Jing will not be the only one who will be affected if something happens!
"General Bai, don't worry!"

Wang Ben came back to his senses and heard what Bai Yan had said so clearly, but he didn't know what it meant.

After half an hour.

Under the guard of many Qin officials and soldiers, Bai Yan brought Wang Ben to the prison in Shanwu City, and saw Mi Jing who was secretly imprisoned. Although it was only a day later, Mi Jing looked extremely miserable and dirty at this moment. Xi's clothes are all messy, and his hair is messy, so it's not obvious at all. Just before that, he was one of the three highest-ranking officials in the entire county of Yanmen.

"Brother Ben!! Brother Ben!! Help me, save me!!"

Seeing Bai Yan's arrival, Mi Jing had a glimmer of hope, and wanted to beg Bai Yan to let him go, but when she saw Wang Ben behind Bai Yan, Mi Jing was even more ecstatic, and quickly came to the gate of the cell, full of tears. He looked at Wang Ben in front of him praying.

"Lieutenant Bai, Zishan made a mistake! I won't dare to do it again in the future, let Zishan go!"

Mi Jing's dry and peeling lips were trembling, and tears flowed down her dirty face again.

It is said that the higher you stand, the harder you fall, and Mi Jing, who used to have power, status, and wealth, after experiencing the feeling of being a prisoner, regrets what happened at the beginning more than anyone else.

"Subcompensation!"

Wang Ben looked at Mi Jing's appearance, his complexion was full of entanglement, and his eyes were full of disappointment.

"Why do you want to plunder Yang Jin?"

Wang Ben asked puzzledly.

When Mi Jing heard Wang Ben's words, she lowered her head, her eyes were dodged, but she hesitated for a while and continued talking.

"It was me who was greedy for sex for a while and messed up my mind!"

Bai Yan stood aside and did not stop Wang Ben from asking. He knew that Mi Jing would not tell the truth. No one can save him anymore.

　Lord Changping and Lord Changwen both personally supported Yingzheng to succeed to the throne. Wang Ben never dreamed that Lord Changping, who was the right prime minister of Qin State, would have the idea of ​​betraying Qin State.
