Qin Gong

Under the scorching sun.

A carriage was galloping on the official road, accompanied by slight bumps. The groom and a burly man in front of the carriage looked around.

On both sides of the carriage, two servants on horseback also guarded closely on both sides.

"Fortunately, your kid got in touch quickly!"

In the carriage, Yan Gu looked at Bai Yan angrily, with a little anger on his cheeks.

This is the rare time that Qionggu gets angry with Bai Yan.

This is not the fault of Qiangu. I think back to when I was in Shouchun City some time ago, I learned from Mrs. Xiang that the news of Bai Yan's going south had leaked out. Qiangu stayed up all night and was worried about Bai Yan day and night. , However, the cronies sent out never found Bai Yan, let alone saw Bai Yan's reply.

Qiang Gu was worried all day long, for fear that Bai Yan would be discovered by others.

It was clearly agreed that if there was any need for information when going south, Bai Yan would go to the agreed place and order someone to contact him.

"Little uncle, Yan'er is not worried about you."

Bai Yan looked at his little uncle's angry appearance, and said with a sneer.

In the eyes of outsiders, Bai Yan is a famous general of the Qin State, the remaining general of the Qin State who destroyed Han and Zhao, but in private, in front of his family, Bai Yan is still Shui Yan, no matter how high his title or status is, it has nothing to do with him. will change.

Just like when he was in Linzi back then, Qiang Gu is still his little uncle, and Bai Yan is still his little nephew.

"What are you worried about?"

It's okay if Bai Yan doesn't say anything, but he loses his temper completely as soon as he opens his mouth.

Not to mention the fact that Xiang Liang was rescued by acting 'wounded to death', for today, with the identity of his little uncle, how could he sit idly by when Bai Yan fell into danger.

this kid!
Thinking about it, Yan Gu became more and more angry.

"Little uncle, hehe!"

Bai Yan looked at Qiang Gu's appearance, and quickly apologized, afraid that he would really make his uncle so angry that he would beat someone.

"If you contact uncle later, you will be harming uncle!"

Yan Gu looked at Bai Yan with a serious expression.

This sentence is not joking, if Bai Yan's letter is a few days later, he really can't sit still at all, and when he is impatient, he doesn't know if there will be a mistake.

The people arranged at the liaison place were not worried about the news being leaked at all, and right now, let alone after so many years, Qu believed in him, but he and Xiang Liang were life-and-death friends later on, and with Xiang's help, this short period of time In two years, he can be regarded as a figure in Shouchun, and no one will doubt him.

Now Bai Yan said that he was worried that he would be exposed, and he was almost so angry that he wanted to do something.

With Qu's relationship, and the fact that Xiang Liang's life was saved, even if someone saw him with Bai Yan with their own eyes and told Xiang Liang and Qu's back, neither Xiang Liang nor Qu's would believe him.

"Yan'er won't next time"

Bai Yan also knew that it was a bit late for him to contact his little uncle, so he quickly assured him that he was justified.

Seeing Bai Yan's appearance, Yan Gu calmed down a little.

"The Xiang family, the Qu family, and the Jing family have all sent people to sneak into all the cities on the border of Yingchuan, and even Nanyang County and Qianzhong County are no exception. They have ordered their family servants to go there with thousands of gold a long time ago. Qin Guo, my uncle didn't know about you before, so he didn't ask much, now it seems that those people should be planning to bribe someone, and want to find out about you from the Bai family."

Qiang Gu sighed and said to Bai Yan.

Knowing that Bai Yan went south this time, the families of Chu State have already used a lot of manpower and money, not to mention sending assassins to the border, that is, Pingyang. I am afraid that as early as when Bai Yan received the order from Xianyang, the Chu family would have He has ordered people to bring money to Qin to buy people related to the Bai family.

The purpose is to ensure that no trace of Bai Yan's whereabouts will be missed.

At that time, whether it is to catch Bai Yan or use the news, it will be of great help to wipe out Qin's offensive when Bai Yan leads the army.

"It's worth it!"

Bai Yan couldn't help laughing wryly when he heard his little uncle's words.

Fortunately, he didn't contact the Bai family before, and he didn't even contact Lu Qi and Lu Sheng. The only person he contacted was his little uncle.

"As long as your whereabouts are not exposed right now, Xiang Yan, Jing Qi and others will not easily send troops."

When Yan Gu said this, his expression suddenly became strange, and he turned his head full of doubts, looking at Bai Yan.

"Speaking of which, when Jing Qi went to Yanmen, what exactly did he see? Why do people like Jing Qi fear you so much? Ask yourself, your little uncle has never seen Jing Qi so afraid of a person! "

Fugu asked.

Now in the state of Chu, there are two views on Bai Yan, led by Lord Changping, Lord Changwen, Zhao Wushang, Xiang Zang, Xiang Ji, etc., who hold the idea of ​​catching Bai Yan and persuading him to surrender, after all Although Bai Yan was young, he was a famous general who was very good at commanding troops. If Bai Yan could serve Chu, then it would not only be as simple as weakening Qin, but would also give Qin an extra opponent.

And the other small group of people are people headed by Jing Qi. These people are very afraid of unexpected changes, and they are worried that accidents will happen when they bring Bai Yan to Chu, so they all hope that seeing Bai Yan, no matter what, no matter what the price , to kill Bai Yan.

At first, Qiangu thought that Bai Yan, who was in Yanmen, must have offended Jing Qi, and Jing Qi was so murderous just now, who would have thought that he would learn from Zhao Wushang later that Jing Qi was extremely afraid of himself. little nephew.

"I don't know!"

Hearing his uncle's question, Bai Yan also shook his head, because of Mi Jing's relationship, Bai Yan didn't kill Jing Qi just now.

Unexpectedly, Jing Qi was really a ruthless person. After leaving Yanmen and returning to Chu State, he immediately made a plan and successfully killed Chu King, Queen Mother, and Li Yuan's family. This thunderous method is really amazing, and behind, It also deterred those gentry in Chu who once supported Xiong You.

Inside the carriage.

Qiang Gu looked at Bai Yan's appearance and shook his head. A voice came from outside the carriage, knowing that someone was there, so Qiangu didn't continue talking.

After receiving the news from Bai Yan, Yan Gu thought that those nobles were searching for Bai Yan in the border towns everywhere, and he was worried about his subordinates, fearing that there would be accidents, so he hurriedly came to pick up Bai Yan from Shouchun himself, not daring to rest along the way .

"The King of Qin, Yingzheng, actually went to war with Chu!"

"That's right, Han was destroyed first, and then Zhao was destroyed. The army is still attacking Yan, but they are still fighting with Chu. Do you think Qin Wang Yingzheng is a tiger and wolf king?"

"The king of tigers and wolves? Looking at the whole world, who doesn't know that Yingzheng is a cruel and heartless person! Whenever the princes do not obey Yingzheng, Yingzheng will send troops to destroy the country! In my opinion , One day, Qin will perish!"

There was a sound from outside the carriage.

Fugu, who was dressed in silk, yawned. Having not rested for many days, he stretched out his hand and slightly opened the curtain.

Then I saw that on an official road, looking at both sides of the road at a glance, there were a lot of scattered people who were affected by the war, dragging their families along the road, and the ones who spoke just now were some traders among the people. The people who rely on manpower to pick things are different. Those traders are driving wooden trailers while talking with each other. Among the words, the most mentioned is Qin Wang Yingzheng, and they still have nothing good to say.

This point is not difficult to understand.

After all, Qin State's attack on the cities of Chu State not only affected the local people, but also the peddlers who had been doing business. In the past, they relied on selling to live better than ordinary people.

After the Qin army suddenly attacked, the most affected and the biggest gap was naturally their traders.

Therefore, compared with the common people, these traders who lived a good life were naturally the ones who hated Qin the most.

"Your boy has met Ying Zheng, tell my little uncle, what kind of person is Ying Zheng?"

Yan Gu put down the curtain, suddenly looked at Bai Yan, and asked softly.

In fact, this problem has been troubling Qionggu for a long time, regardless of other places, or in Chu State, all Qionggu heard was scolding Yingzheng, so much that Qianggu was no stranger to it.

But those people, Yan Gu knew that those people had never met Ying Zheng at all, let alone contacted him.

Their complaints were nothing more than Ying Zheng hurting their interests.

Even the ministers in the court of Chu State, why not? They can't do anything for the sake of profit, and how many of them have seen Ying Zheng.

Whether Qin Wang Yingzheng is cruel and unkind, it is hard to tell just by destroying the country. After all, there were [-] vassal states when King Zhou divided the world, but now there are still a few.

Therefore, Qiangu wanted to ask Bai Yan what kind of person Ying Zheng was.

Qiong Gu knows that in today's world, there are very few people who have seen Ying Zheng, but it is a coincidence that his little nephew has not only seen it in person, but also won the trust and respect of Ying Zheng. His evaluation of Ying Zheng , should be the most realistic.

Inside the carriage.

Bai Yan was a little surprised when he heard his uncle's question.

And when he heard the voices insulting Ying Zheng outside the carriage, he realized why his uncle asked suddenly. After thinking about it, Bai Yan laughed and looked at his uncle.

"Ying Zheng, he is a person who has never appeared since ancient times, and may not necessarily appear again in the future, even in the future!"

For some reason, Bai Yan suddenly had the best evaluation of Ying Zheng in his mind.

There is no good or bad.

As far as Ying Zheng is concerned.

"So high?"

When Qiangu heard Bai Yan's words, he looked surprised. You must know that those famous and virtuous figures who have been passed down through the ages may not necessarily be worthy of this sentence.

Seeing his little uncle's puzzled eyes, Bai Yan nodded slowly.

"One day, little uncle will know!"

Bai Yan explained.

Yan Gu nodded slowly, and became more and more curious about Ying Zheng in his heart, looking forward to, wondering if he could see Ying Zheng in person in the future.

While Bai Yan was talking to Yan Gu, the carriage had unknowingly driven towards the city gate.

Sitting in the carriage in Qiangu, Bai Yan didn't feel the carriage stopped for a moment, and entered the city after a few breaths.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yan looked at the side with some surprise and pretended to be calm, but his cheeks and eyes revealed a strong sense of complacency for his little uncle. Unexpectedly, his little uncle's power seemed to be far beyond his imagination.

It stands to reason that Qin and Chu were at war, and martial law was everywhere. People and merchants entering the city would be strictly checked for identity and enter the city one by one. But my uncle was able to enter the city so easily. Presumably, his rights and status are far from being as simple as he imagined. . .

"By the way, there is one more thing!"

Yan Gu smiled triumphantly, then remembered something, under Bai Yan's gaze, turned around, took out a roll of bamboo slips wrapped in several layers of silk from a cloth wrap behind him.

Obviously, the importance of this scroll of bamboo slips is absolutely extraordinary.

"This time little uncle found a treasure for you!"

After carefully untying the silk cloth, Qiangu looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, and carefully used the other hand, like a treasure, to gently stroke the bamboo pieces on the bamboo slips.

"treasure?"

Bai Yan looked at the scroll of bamboo slips with some curiosity as he looked at his little uncle's meticulously caring appearance. What was written in the bamboo slips could make his little uncle like a treasure? Bao, it may not be possible for my little uncle to show such an appearance.

"The word "treasure" is not enough to describe this thing. This is your little uncle's painstaking efforts. In the Xiang family, Jing family, and Qu family, this thing is never allowed to be seen by outsiders. It is also the relationship between your little uncle and Xiang Liang. , I was able to take a look and get one of the rolls!"

Yan Gu looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, and said with emotion, his eyes were full of seriousness.

Looking at the little nephew beside him, Fugu knew how shocking it would be if the little nephew knew that this scroll of bamboo slips was made by the old man riding a bull that countless people in the world couldn't ask for.

You know, looking at all the vassal states nowadays, how many nobles can't ask for these bamboo slips, and they want to get a scroll at any cost. Even other kings flock to these bamboo slips, thinking that they can get a glimpse of the way to strengthen the country. .

Not to mention scholars and Confucian scholars.

This bamboo slip.

If it gets out and the world knows that he also has it, I don't know how many people will fight for it.

"One of the volumes?"

From the initial curiosity and doubt, Bai Yan heard what his uncle said later, and looked at the scroll of bamboo slips. For some reason, a guess suddenly appeared in his heart, but he was not sure.

Seeing his little uncle reaching out his hand, Bai Yan just came back to his senses.

"Let's take it and have a look!"

Qiangu held the bamboo slips in both hands, and gently handed them to Bai Yan as the carriage bumped slightly.

Bai Yan is his own nephew, so Yan Gu would take it out, otherwise Yan Gu would hide this scroll of bamboo slips, making it his most proud possession, and handing it over to his heirs in the future.

"Remember, you must read it carefully, and you will gain insights from it!"

Qiangu watched Bai Yan take the bamboo slips, and said softly.

Under the gate of Xiacai City.

Under the strong sun, some common people and merchants slowly waited to enter the city one by one, carrying things on their shoulders, but when they saw the exquisite carriage just now, they entered the city without even stopping.

This scene immediately made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, startled, and immediately started talking.

"Who is in the carriage?"

"Yeah! You don't even have to stop, and you see, even the general who guards the gate looks respectful."

With many people talking in doubt.

not far away.

The uncle was talking with Zilu, who was wearing a commoner coat and holding a spear.

Looking at the eldest son who has become submissive now, the uncle was so angry that he finally found another suitable marriage for Zilu, and the other party was in Xiacai, and also had some status and wealth, why Zilu just didn't understand.

Isn't it just that he was beaten up and said a few words, the man can bend and stretch, but he dare not ask for money because of such a trivial matter, how can this work.

"Father, you want money, so why don't you go yourself."

Zilu looked at his father obediently, and when he saw his father's angry eyes, he quickly shrank his head. Zilu has never dared to disobey his father since he was a child.

It's just that now his father asked him to ask his wife's house for money again, so he really didn't dare to go again.

Speaking of it, Zilu also had some complaints about his father in his heart.

After coming to Chu State, as the money was spent, Zi Lu began to regret why he came to Chu State. After marrying his current wife, Zi Lu regretted why he left the virtuous and beautiful Cen Qing and ran to Chu State. The country married this ugly woman.

Now, seeing his father asking him to ask his father-in-law for money again, Zilu is a little scared. His wife's husband was beaten to death by this woman's family before.

Besides, my father-in-law has already promised him that, as a scholar, he will be appointed as a small official in charge of patrolling the city gates after half a year.

Having experienced so much suffering with his father, Zilu no longer had the lofty ambitions of the past, and only wanted to not be starved and to have a little dignity outside.

"Qu's?"

Uncle's voice suddenly remembered.

Zilu heard the voice, looked at his father, and saw his father looking at the people discussing in the distance.

"Zi Lu, let me say one more word for my father, a real man, the head of the family~!"

Uncle asked hastily.

Zilu lowered his head, not sure if he had listened.

"Hey, there is no food in my father's belly. I will go back and tell your wife later. After sunset, my father will go to visit you."

The uncle glanced at the eldest son, seeing that he really couldn't get the money, he could only sigh, turned and left.

Yesterday, I took my wife to the city to get vaccinated.

Feel sorry!
