Qin Gong

"Hehehe, Master Zhao, please!"

"My lord, please!"

"Master Hu"

Under the banquet in the main hall, the rows were neat and orderly, and behind the wooden tables with intervals, the officials of Qin State were drinking wine while talking, or admiring the swaying of beautiful dancers, dancing gracefully.

At this moment, whether it was Kai Zhuang, Li Si, Wei Liao and other ministers of Qin State, or the officials who talked with Li Si, it was Tai Jing, Le Shang and others who were at the bottom. , looked at the dancers with full enjoyment, and when they whispered and laughed with the officials beside them, they all showed bright smiles on their faces.

The territory of Yan State merged into the territory of Qin State again, Qin State's territory expanded, Qin State's strength became stronger, and the status of every Qin State official in the hall also increased accordingly.

At this time, in the hall full of chatter and laughter, no one noticed that after reading the bamboo slips in the hall, Ying Zheng's face, which was originally full of joy, was now full of gloom.

"This time Yan Guo was broken, and General Li Xin made such great achievements this time, the future is boundless!"

"That's right. The King's hearty laughter that day is still vivid in my memory. The King said bluntly that 'General Li is strong and brave'. Presumably in the eyes of the King, Li Xin will definitely be a great general in the future."

"General, Li Xin's father, Li Yao is currently serving as the general and the governor of Nanjun County. Li Xin's grandfather, Li Chong, is the governor of Longxi County. If Li Xin is a general, then in Qin State, even the Wang family may not be as good as him! "

During the banquet, following the discussions of the ministers of the state of Qin around, listening to those words of envy and emotion, the most complicated thing in his heart was undoubtedly Bai Yu.

Qin Mieyan, as an official of Qin State, Bai Yu should be happy, but whenever he saw Chang Wenjun in the distance, Bai Yu couldn't be happy when he thought that Li Xin was Chang Wenjun's disciple.

Li Xin was in command of the Bai family's iron cavalry, who had just broken through the Yan army, and also led the Bai family's iron cavalry, chasing and killing the fleeing king of Yan all the way, and finally forced the king of Yan to kill Yan Dan and offer Yan Dan's head. In his eyes, he didn't mind, after all, Li Shi and Bai Shi are on good terms now.

But when he thought of the Bai clan, Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun assassinated him behind his back, and Li Xin not only went to Shanwu himself, but also brought Li Yun and Li Yun to plead for mercy, Bai Yu felt suffocated. Take a breath.

Looking at the dancers in the hall, Bai Yu reached out to pick up the wine bar on the wooden table, and took a sip alone.

Suddenly.

Seeing Ying Zheng's eyes looking at him, Bai Yu didn't react at first, but when he did, he saw Ying Zheng handing over the bamboo slips in his hand to the Han Yezhe, and after the Han Yezhe left, Ying Zheng once again I took a look at myself.

With doubts, Bai Yu felt a little strange when he saw that Ying Zheng didn't look at him anymore.

But can't tell.

Bai Yu frowned slightly, and tried hard to think what was wrong. After a long time, Bai Yu suddenly understood and looked at Ying Zheng again.

It's the eyes!
Ying Zheng's eyes were wrong. It was obviously a banquet to celebrate the victory of the Yan Kingdom, but Ying Zheng just looked over his eyes, obviously not happy.
What is going on, could something happen?But if something happened, why did Ying Zheng look at him? It was Bai Yan! ! !

Bai Yu, who wanted to understand, panicked inexplicably, especially when he recalled Ying Zheng's eyes just now, Bai Yu felt more and more wrong.

Could it be that something happened to that boy Bai Yan?

Under the night.

After the banquet was over, all the officials of Qin State walked towards the outside of the palace in groups after bidding farewell to Ying Zheng.

Bai Yu got up and looked at the hall, watching the other officials leave in front of him.

"What's the matter, why don't you leave?"

Hu Wujing, who was wearing the official uniform of the Qin State, was about to leave with several other officials, but suddenly saw Bai Yu standing there blankly, said goodbye to the other officials, and turned around to come to Bai Yu's side.

After hearing Hu Wujing's voice, Bai Yu was about to speak, when he saw a distant Han caller slowly approaching.

Under the gaze of Bai Yu and Hu Wujing, Han Yezhe walked over and saluted slowly.

"General Bai, Your Majesty summoned General Bai to the apse!"

Han Yezhe said to Bai Yu.

Bai Yu's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, the arrival of Han Yezhe now undoubtedly completely confirmed his previous conjecture.

"Zidu, you go back first!"

With worried eyes, Bai Yu hurriedly instructed Hu Wujing, then looked at Han Yezhe, beckoning to lead the way.

Hu Wujing stood on the spot, looking at Bai Yu's hurried back, thinking of Bai Yu's worried expression just now, and in silence, he also vaguely guessed that something might have happened.

Inside the apse of Xianyang Palace.

Bai Yu followed Han Yezhe, led by the maid, and just arrived at the apse, when he saw Ying Zheng was already waiting for him.

"Chen Baiyu, pay homage to the king!"

When Bai Yu saw Ying Zheng, he raised his hand and saluted.

"No need to be polite!"

Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Bai Yu, motioned to the eunuch at the side, and handed the bamboo slips to Bai Yu.

Seeing this, Bai Yu knew that on the wooden plate held by the eunuch in front of him was the scroll of bamboo slips that Ying Zheng read at the banquet tonight.

With worries in his heart, after saluting Ying Zheng, Bai Yu stretched out his hand to pick up the bamboo slips, opened them to look, but just saw the first sentence in the bamboo slips, and was completely stunned.

Bai Yanzai Yangxia! ! !
Isn't that kid in Yanmen County?Following this thought, Bai Yu immediately thought that General Wang Ben was now leading the army of Qin State to attack Chu State under the order of Ying Zheng.

Look at the bamboo slips again.

After reading the contents of the bamboo slips, Bai Yu was completely frightened into a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, someone must have betrayed Qin."

When Bai Yu saw that Bai Yan was almost ambushed, the anger in his heart almost made Bai Yu lose his mind, and in Bai Yu's heart, it was almost certain who sent the news of Bai Yan to Chu State.

"who?"

Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yu and asked.

"Yes"

Bai Yu almost instinctively wanted to say the names of Lord Changping and Lord Changwen, but looking at Ying Zheng's eyes, when he was about to blurt out, Bai Yu calmed down, and Bai Yan's words suddenly sounded in his mind.

"I don't even know how many people know about this, and who will Bai Yan tell about it!"

Bai Yu lowered his head, yearning for fairness, wanting to complain about Bai Yan's grievances, Bai Yu wanted to name Chang Ping Jun and Chang Wen Jun, but after recovering, Bai Yu knew that Bai Yan was right. That's right, they have no way to prove that Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun did it.

And even if there is evidence, will Ying Zheng really execute Lord Changping and Lord Changwen?
Without mentioning Yingzheng's disposition, and without mentioning the things Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun did for the Qin State, it can be seen from Mi Jing's incident that the officials of the Chu family and the people of Ying's clan , Lord Changping and Lord Changwen would not be executed. The words of the Chu lineage and Ying's clan were enough to influence Yingzheng's decision.

Inside the apse.

Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yu who was bowing his head, and looked outside the hall. At this moment, Ying Zheng's eyes were also full of confusion.

The moment he saw the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng doubted the person who knew these things, but no matter if it was Wei Liao, Kui Xiang, or Wang Wan, it was impossible. Meng Yi was a child of the Meng family, and the most powerful It is possible that Mr. Changping has never participated in this matter. As for Mr. Changwen, Ying Zheng believes that it will not be him.

When Yingzheng returned to Qin from Handan of Zhao State when he was young, he began to contact Chang Wenjun. Over the past 20 years, all kinds of things Chang Wenjun did, let alone Yingzheng, all the officials of Qin State, are obvious to all.

Chang Wenjun's character, all the ministers of the state of Qin know the basics, and Chang Wenjun will never betray him to win the government, let alone the state of Qin.

Moreover, Mi Jing's matter has just been dealt with not long ago. In Yingzheng's eyes, no matter whether it is Chang Wenjun or Changping Lord, it is impossible to harm Bai Yan at this time. After all, if Bai Yan makes any mistakes, the most suspicious thing right now , is the two of them.

"Who will benefit from Bai Yan's death?"

Yingzheng thought about it, and put himself in the position of Lord Changwen and Lord Changping. One of them was a general and the other was the prime minister of Qin. Bai Yan's death would not benefit the two of them at all. Not only could Lord Changping not be able to die because of Bai Yan But returning to Xianyang aroused suspicion instead.

Behind this situation, no one but Chu will benefit.

Is it the officials who Bai Yan once offended?Or is it Li Si who wants to take advantage of Bai Yan's death to make Chang Ping Jun completely lose power?

"Bai Yan's whereabouts have been exposed."

Ying Zheng turned to look at Bai Yu.

"Tomorrow, you will go to Lantian under the order of my widow, and order Sima Xing to immediately transfer Tieying Ruishi to Yangxia, find Bai Yan, and Bai Yan will dispatch him!"

Ying Zheng said.

Thinking of the head of Yandan now hanging in Xianyang City, Yingzheng knew that it was Li Xin who led thousands of people to break through the army of Yan State and forced King Yan to hand over Yandan's head. During this attack on Yan, Li Xin was brave and good at fighting. He displayed the prestige of the Qin army and frightened the six countries.

Regarding this matter, Yingzheng was naturally overjoyed. After all, only by making the princes afraid to move, Qin could break through and nibble away one by one.

However, compared to Li Xin's defeat of the Yan army and the acquisition of Yan Dan's head, Ying Zheng never forgot that if Bai Yan hadn't been in the main hall in the past, he would have stood in front of him all the time, and even risked his life to block that Even if he was stabbed, Yingzheng might not be able to live to this day, let alone witness the news of Qin's attack on Jicheng, and see Yandan's head in the hall.

So when he learned that Bai Yan was in danger, Ying Zheng immediately decided to transfer Sima Xing's Tie Ying Ruishi to Yangxia and hand them over to Bai Yan.

Wang Ben is leading an army to attack the border between Chu and Wei, and General Mengwu in Qianzhong County is guarding and watching. Before Wang Jian, Xin Sheng, Li Xin and others return, Bai Yan still needs to be on the border of Qin and Chu. While waiting for the opportunity, he must also beware of Chu country's counterattack.

Inside the apse.

Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yu's back after receiving the order and then turned his head to look at the moonlight outside.

Although it has not yet been found out who leaked the news, but in Ying Zheng's mind, the appearance of the boy in the study in those days appeared in Ying Zheng's mind!
He Yingzheng believed in that boy!

In Xianyang City.

Bai Yu was riding in a carriage, and was rushing back to his mansion under the darkness of night, but before he arrived at the mansion, Hu Wujing's followers suddenly came to find him in a hurry, saying that it was Hu Wujing who wanted him to go to Hu's mansion immediately.

When Bai Yu followed Hu Wujing's retinue and came to Hu's mansion, the whole mansion was lit with candlelight.

Walk across the yard.

Seeing those servants standing outside the door and in the courtyard with their heads bowed, all of them calm and downcast, Bai Yu hurriedly walked towards the bedroom.

The Hu family and the Bai family are aristocratic families, and Bai Yu is already very familiar with the Hu family, so there is no need to lead them.

When Bai Yu came to the bedroom, as soon as he entered, he saw old women and some young family members in the room.

When the family members saw Bai Yu, they all stepped aside.

He saw his father Bai Zhong, his elder brothers Bai Uncle and Bai Yan inside.

Bai Yu hurriedly came to the couch, exchanged a glance with the red-eyed Hu Wujing, then stared blankly at the pale, dying Elder Hu who was on the couch.

"Old Hu!"

Bai Yu came to Mr. Hu's side, knelt on the ground, and held Mr. Hu's hand tightly with both hands beside his face.

Looking at Mr. Hu's appearance at this moment, Bai Yu is full of panic, scared like a person who is at a loss, why Mr. Hu's complexion is getting worse and worse these days.

"Where's the doctor? In a little more time, then Miss Xu will be able to rush back to Xianyang from Yanmen, just a little more time!"

Bai Yu looked at Hu Wujing, his tone was full of anxiety, he had ordered people to travel day and night to go to Yanmen with letters.

Bai Zhong, Bai Bo and others watched this scene, their eyes were red and swollen, and fell silent.

"Uncle Yu is here!"

Before Hu Wujing answered, Bai Yu heard Hu Lao's weak voice.

Seeing this, Bai Yu quickly turned his head, looked at Mr. Hu, and nodded.

"Shu Yu is here, Shu Yu is here!!!"

As Bai Yu spoke, his mouth trembled more and more, and then seeing Mr. Hu's appearance, tears flowed from his eyes instantly.

Thinking back to when he was young, it was Mr. Hu who taught him everywhere. He was young and energetic, made many mistakes, and would always offend people in the court. It was Mr. Hu who protected him everywhere and treated him as his own child.

"Uncle Yu is here!"

Tears flowed down Bai Yu's weather-beaten cheeks at this moment, and he held Hu Lao's hand with both hands and placed it on his face.

In Bai Yu's eyes, Mr. Hu is like an umbrella, protecting them from the wind and rain all the time.

"Zidu. Say."

Mr. Hu's wrinkled eyes looked exhausted, and he was struggling to speak.

Bai Yu's lips trembled, knowing that it must be Hu Wujing who said what happened in the hall just now, and was overheard by Hu Lao, that's why Hu Lao asked, Bai Yu quickly looked at Hu Lao.

"Mr. Hu, don't worry, don't worry, the king is going to transfer Sima Xing's Tie Ying warrior to that boy Bai Yan! Mr. Hu, don't worry! Mr. Hu!"

While Bai Yu was talking, seeing how sick he was, Mr. Hu, who was still worried about them, his juniors, his hands were trembling, and he slowly raised his head and closed his eyes, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

Think back to when I was a child, the scenes of contact with Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu's smile, Mr. Hu's words!
At this moment, Bai Yu clenched his gums.

After finally holding back his tears, Bai Yu looked at Mr. Hu.

"Mr. Hu, that kid Bai Yan is going to be crowned within two years. When Mr. Hu arrives, he will give that kid a crown. Back then, that kid offended so many people. Mr. Hu, you are in the hall, and you give that kid a name every day." The kid protects his shortcomings, that kid hasn't toasted you yet, Mr. Hu."

Bai Yu said anxiously, there is only one thought in Bai Yu's mind at the moment, wait a little longer, when Miss Xu arrives, then Mr. Hu's illness will definitely be cured.

However, Bai Yu's wish did not come true in the end.

In this night.

That old Hu who supported the Bai family, Hu family, and Sima family in the court hall of the Qin Dynasty did not survive the night, and he didn't even have time to get a word for Bai Yan.

As Bai Zhong said, Mr. Hu has been enduring hardships when he was young, and when he is old, he has been sheltering his younger generations from the wind and rain. Except for the children of merchants like Bai Bo and Bai Yan, they are also in the court hall. The younger generation Bai Yu, Hu Jin, Sima Xing, Sima Chang, and Hu Wujing protected them from the wind and rain.

It can be said that Mr. Hu alone supports three families.

Perhaps seeing Bai Yu, Hu Jin, Sima Xing, Sima Chang, Hu Wujing and other juniors who have grown up in the court, and also seeing people like Bai Yan among the younger generation, Mr. Hu felt at ease.

The next morning.

Hu Fu's crying didn't stop all night, Bai Yu was tied to a white cloth, with red and swollen eyes, and knelt all night.

Bai Bo, Bai Yan, Bai Ji, Hu Wujing and others all knelt in the main hall, their eyes were red from crying.

Hu Jin is in Yuzhong, Shangjun, Sima Xing is in Lantian, and Sima Chang is in Wancheng. They will all come back to Xianyang to see Mr. Hu off.

Bai Yu's eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were red and swollen from crying all night, but he could still clearly see the tears in his eyes.

"Old Hu! Shu Yu went to deliver a letter to that kid, and then came back with Sima Xing!"

Bai Yu got up slowly and walked out of the main hall.

Inside and outside the door, under the eaves, the entire courtyard is covered with white silk, every maid and servant is dressed in white, Bai Yuhong walks through it with eyes.

Mr. Hu did not see the unity of the world.
