Qin Gong

Chapter 95 Sima Chang Presents a Sword

Inside the mansion in Yangcheng.

Sima Xing was in the study, looking at the map, as if he wanted to use the map to see where it would be more advantageous for Chu and Zhao to send troops to fight, and it would have a consequential impact on the entire situation.

Hear footsteps behind him.

Just as Sima Xing turned his head, he saw Bai Yan had already entered the study.

"Bai Yan, I met General Sima!"

Bai Yan cupped his hands to Sima Xing and said.

After leaving Lu's shop, he went straight back to the mansion to meet Sima Xing.

"You boy."

Sima Xing looked at Bai Yan and cursed with a smile.

The last time I bid farewell to the young man in front of me, the young man was the one who made it to the top. In the blink of an eye, the young man's unruffled behavior in the face of danger and his actions of leading the army should attract the attention of the world.

Some people worried that Bai Yu would exist, and after the Qin State destroyed Korea, Zhao Wei would be killed, so they took his life as a dead man.

But never thought.

Bai Yu was injured, but a younger Bai Yan appeared.

"Before your uncle left, he was sober for a while. Let me tell you to return to Bai's more often in the future."

Sima Xing said to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan came back with the pawns who escorted the supplies, but they couldn't catch up, but Bai Yu also woke up for a while before going back. After learning about Bai Yan, he asked Bai Yan to return to Bai's family more often in the future.

He asked Bai Yu, that kid Bai Yan just made a great contribution, why did Bai Yu not say anything else before he left, but said this irrelevant sentence.

Bai Yan is a child of the Bai family, where can he go if he doesn't return to the Bai family!

It's just that if you are not happy in Bai's family and you don't go back to Bai's family, how could you not return to Bai's family.

"Ok!"

Bai Yan nodded.

Bai Yan could understand the meaning of this sentence, since he had promised Bai Yu to go to the Bai family before, he would not break his promise.

Besides, Bai Yu treated him very well. Now that he is poisoned and returned to Qin, if he has time in the future, he may visit him, otherwise, it seems that he has crossed the river and demolished the bridge.

Just like the reason why he canceled the marriage in the past, he didn't want to feel guilty towards Mrs. Bai, so he canceled the marriage.

Now that Bai Yu is poisoned, he will go to see Bai Yu if he has the chance.

"This is Uncle Chang. He asked someone to send it to you from Wancheng. I wanted to congratulate you for winning the first ascension and making your first contribution. Now I just meet you and make another great contribution."

Sima Xing took off a dark but exquisite and majestic Qin sword from a sword holder, and handed it to Bai Yan.

"Ok?"

When Bai Yan heard this, he looked puzzled.

Champ!

Soon, Bai Yan suddenly remembered that when he met Sima Xing for the first time in Lantian Daying, Sima Xing had said that his brother Sima Chang was the Chief Iron Officer in Wancheng.

Watching Sima Xing hand over the Qin sword to himself, and after Bai Yan took it over, he, who has been holding a sword all year round, felt that the weight of this Qin sword was different from the ordinary Qin sword the moment he held the sword.

Iron sword! !
With the thoughts that come to mind.

Bai Yan stretched out his hand to caress the exquisitely crafted pattern on it, then held the piece in one hand and drew the sword in the other.

Clang~!

As the blade was unsheathed, Bai Yan could clearly see that the blade was extremely sharp, and the word 'Bai Yan' was engraved on the body of the sword with cross patterns.

Bai Yan knew that the chief iron officer was only in charge of the iron smelting, and if he made the sword privately, he would have to pay for it himself.

And Bai Yan could feel that this sword came from the master's hand.

Apparently, Sima Chang, who had never met before, really spent all his heart and soul for this sword.

"Thank you!"

After Bai Yan put the sword into the scabbard, he said softly to Sima Xing.

In today's world, most of Qin's soldiers are mainly made of bronze swords, and the number of iron swords is extremely rare, and most of them are equipped with elite soldiers.

Although the forging of bronze swords is excellent, hundreds of years ago, there were many famous swords such as Goujian Sword of Yue King, Zhanlu, Ganjiang, Moxie, etc., but those were all from the hands of masters.

Ordinary bronze swords are still inferior to exquisite iron swords, even if Qin's bronze swords have the help of the Mohist, they are far superior to other countries.

Before Qin State captured Wancheng, Wancheng belonged to Chu State.

Yue destroyed Wu, and Chu destroyed Yue, so Chu State obtained the superb sword-making skills of Wu and Yue.

In the past, King Zhaoxiang of Qin once expressed emotion: the iron sword of Chu State is sharp, but the singing and dancing skills are clumsy.

It can make King Qin Zhaoxiang jealous, so he sighs with emotion. It is conceivable how precious an iron sword is in the eyes of the world.

Not to mention, this time Sima Chang invited a master to forge this sword.

"The Bai family and the Sima family are originally aristocratic families, so thank you."

Sima Xing looked at Bai Yan and smiled softly.

Because Bai Yan had left bamboo slips before, Cai Chai will also go north and talk to him in detail.

Sima Xing didn't ask Bai Yan any more.

Thinking of Bai Yan's great achievements this time.

"You have made a lot of contributions this time, but Feng Wen took the initiative to surrender, and Wancheng has more than half of his credit. Guangwu and Xingyang also have half of Feng Wen's credit. Whether you can make an exception and be promoted depends on the current king."

Sima Xing said softly after watching Bai Yan put away Qin Jian.

An exception means more than three nobles.

In terms of Qin Lu's twenty nobles, even if Bai Yan was promoted to third nobles, he could only go from a doctor to a public servant.

There is little chance of an exception.

This time going north, if there is no Feng Wen, and Bai Yan wins the four cities alone, then maybe it is possible to break the three nobles.

And because of Feng Wen, there are only Fuxishan and Chenggao, all thanks to Bai Yan.

To protect the food and supplies, the head of Han Jiang Han Qiu, plus the later northwards, won Wancheng, Guangwu, and Xingyang. Adding these together, Bai Yan was enough to be promoted to the third rank.

But making an exception and being promoted to a noble rank may be a little bit worse.

"Bai Yan knows it!"

Bai Yan said softly, there was no surprise that he could not make an exception for the promotion, it was all within expectations.

"But the iron cavalry army, you don't have to worry anymore. Bai Yu and I think the same. Now that you have made great achievements, the king will definitely give you a chance. Bai Yu once said, you should be able to guess it too."

Sima Xing said with a smile.

In today's Qin Dynasty, there are many generals, not to mention Old General Teng, General Wang Jian, etc., not to mention other generals, even among the younger generation, there are young but famous Qiang Li, Li Xin, Wang Li, Meng Tian four people.

With so many Qin generals, it is very difficult to get the attention of the current king!

Even if Bai Yan's surname is Bai, Bai Qi's surname.

But it doesn't mean that Bai Yan has no chance.

This time Bai Yan went to the north to perform meritorious service, in addition to being promoted to noble, it also let the civil and military officials in the court know that after Bai Yu was poisoned, the Bai family was not alone.

And the most important point is to show the king that Bai Yan has the ability to lead the army.

If it was a test for Bai Yan to promote him as Doctor Cheng before,

After Bai Yu was poisoned, Bai Yan beheaded Han Qiu and went north to the four cities.

This is far beyond what a doctor can give.

Therefore, the current king will definitely give Bai Yan another chance. This is also one of the methods used by the king to test the abilities of civil and military officials.
"Ok!"

Bai Yan nodded after listening to Sima Xing's words.

In the past, when Bai Yu told him that it was a test, he instinctively thought that if there was a first time, there would be a second and third test, just like the selection of talents in later generations.

That's why they were so determined in the past that as long as they went north and won the four cities, they would be able to control the Bai clan's iron cavalry.

Inside the study.

After talking for a while, Bai Yan took his leave and left.

Sima Xing nodded, looking at the back of Bai Yan leaving with Qin Jian in his hand, his eyes were full of emotion.

Who would have thought that the young man who risked his life to seize the first place in the past would take everyone by surprise with his actions in the blink of an eye.

Thinking of Bai Yu's weak and pale face when he saw the bamboo slips, he was full of astonishment.

Thinking of that scene, Sima Xing couldn't help but smile.

But Sima Xing also couldn't help being envious.

With this young man around in the future, the Bai family will definitely not decline.

As long as Bai Yan can continue to make contributions to Qin.

Sooner or later, Bai Yan will enter the court of Qin State to meet the king in person.
