Qin Gong

Chapter 452
In the Junwei's mansion, Bai Yan was in the study, watching the news sent by Wei Guo. After the sudden death of King Wei, Wei Guo, as expected, immediately supported the new king Wei Qian to succeed to the throne.

Zhao Qiu came to the study, and under Bai Yan's gaze, he came to the wooden table and knelt down slowly.

"The news came from the Shen family that Peng Yi is dead!"

Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan.

She knew that Bai Yan hadn't left the mansion today, so she probably didn't know the news.

"Ok!"

When Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu's words, he didn't show any surprise.

"I knew from the beginning that if he left Yanmen, he would not survive!"

Bai Yan handed over the bamboo slips in his hand to Zhao Qiu. After agreeing to Zhao Qiu, Zhao Qiu has settled down. Maybe Zhao Qiu is also aware of the current situation. Instead of spending too much time, it is better to wait quietly.

"Wei fake? Those courtiers of Wei State, aren't they afraid of subjugation?"

Zhao Qiu looked at the contents of the bamboo slips and said in a rather complicated tone.

Zhao Qiu is very clear about Wei Jia's disposition. After all, she had met Wei Jia several times back then and knew what kind of person Wei Jia was.

"By the way, you killed his pet dog back then!"

Zhao Qiu put down the bamboo slips, looked at Bai Yan and made a joke.

After calming down and getting Bai Yan's promise, Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan, and he was no longer as unpleasant as before. When getting along, both Zhao Qiu and Bai Yan felt much more comfortable.

by the wooden table.

Bai Yan listened to Zhao Qiu's words and looked at Zhao Qiu.

"Even if Wei pretends to take revenge, the ministers of Wei will persuade him!"

Bai Yan's voice just fell.

"General, it's not good, General!!"

Suddenly, an iron cavalry soldier hurriedly came to the study and walked directly in front of Bai Yan with a panicked expression.

When Zhao Qiu and Bai Yan saw the appearance of the soldiers, they both frowned slightly, wondering if something serious happened again.

"What's the matter?"

Bai Yan asked.

Zhao Qiu glanced at Bai Yan at this moment, then turned to look at the soldier.

"General, in the city, the people who have signed up for the army in the city have already crowded the city gates. Many people are fighting for each other, and they have already started fighting!"

The soldiers said to Bai Yan.

As soon as these words came out, Bai Yan looked surprised and looked at the soldier.

"Go and see!"

Bai Yan got up and said, ready to walk out of the study after speaking, but to Bai Yan's surprise, Zhao Qiu also looked at Bai Yan at this time.

"General, Shen Ji also wants to go together!"

Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan with a charming face, his beautiful eyes were full of flattery.

Seeing Zhao Qiu's appearance, the soldiers at the side couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and then quickly calmed down, sighing that the general is really blessed, I believe that any man who has such a beauty would not want to leave home.

"it is good!"

Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu, and was completely exempted from this scene. In the entire mansion, except for Wei Lao, Bao Shi, and Xi, Zhao Qiu had always been disguised and lived in the mansion as his woman.

He often reads late at night in Zhao Qiu's boudoir, also to confirm Zhao Qiu's identity.

Right now, Bai Yan did not refuse Zhao Qiu's desire to go together.

After a while.

In Shanwu City, before Bai Yan arrived at the city gate, the carriage was blocked on the street by countless people watching.

"A lot of people! What are they doing?"

"You don't know? They are all vying to join the army! I heard that even people from Handan County and other places have come to Yanmen and want to enlist in Yanmen!"

"So many people. All of them are enlisted????"

Outside the carriage, there was an endless stream of noisy discussions, and countless voices came into the carriage.

Zhao Qiu turned to look at Bai Yan, his expression was completely different from when he was in front of the soldiers just now, now Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan with complicated eyes.

"Fortunately, you are from Qi!"

After a long time, Zhao Qiufang said something to Bai Yan in a very small voice.

When Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu's words, he looked at Zhao Qiu, and naturally understood Zhao Qiu's meaning. Looking at the movement in the city at this moment, Bai Yan also understood that if he is really a child of the Bai family, this scene is enough to make people break out in a cold sweat.

Even if Bai Yan knew that Yingzheng was an emperor through the ages, a king who never killed heroes, and Meng Tian, ​​Tu Sui and others held hundreds of thousands of troops, Yingzheng was relieved, but this scene would inevitably not be used by those who cared. When you are impressed, trip him up.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!!"

Under the escort of Qin officials and soldiers, Bai Yan's carriage finally drove slowly to the city gate.

When the voice of his confidant came from outside the carriage, Bai Yan got up, opened the curtain and walked out of the carriage. However, just now when he stepped out of the carriage, Bai Yan saw a sea of ​​people.

Looking at the countless people of different ages in common clothes and the crowd of people all around him, they all calmed down and looked at him.

Bai Yan stood on the carriage and forgot to say anything.

Bai Yan, who was wearing the official uniform of the Qin State, looked at the bustling city gate just now, and everyone was quiet at the moment, then turned his head to look at the registration office on the side. At this time, Bai Yan noticed that there were several Qin officials holding pendants on the side of the registration office. Sword, detaining several men.

"Junwei, those people were fighting for it just now!"

A Qin official stepped forward and said to Bai Yan.

Hearing this, Bai Yan nodded, got off the carriage, and walked in front of the five men in the aisle opened by the densely packed crowd.

"Why do you want to fight?"

Bai Yan looked at the men who were tied up one by one, and asked.

In Bai Yan's eyes, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with bruises and blood on his face looked at Bai Yan with red eyes, then lowered his head.

"General, I'm from Gaotang. I've been begging for tree bark all the way here. My mother is still at home, waiting for news from me! I want to join the army!"

As the boy spoke, his tone gradually sobbed. When he talked about the latter part, the boy who didn't shed tears during the fight started sobbing when he mentioned his mother.

Bai Yan looked at the other man.

The man saw Bai Yan's eyes. Although Bai Yan was young, but he joined the army and often killed people, the man still dared not look directly at him.

"General, I also came from Yanyu. Now there are only old mothers and sick wives left at home. They are all waiting for my news~I~I, I was afraid that I would not be able to enlist in the army, so I was so eager."

While the man was speaking, he also lowered his head, a little remorseful, but more, he was still afraid of being condemned or driven away because of this incident.

Bai Yan looked at them one by one, and after knowing the reason, he sighed deeply.

"Remembering that there is a reason for the incident, not because of the thought of hurting others, take them all to the water canal and do hard labor for fifteen days!"

Bai Yan ordered.

The laws of the State of Qin are not as terrifying as the gentry of other countries advertised. The State of Qin does prohibit private fighting, and the most serious ones are even executed. The Qin people in this village had a large-scale private fight, and many people died. Under such circumstances, it would be a big deal if Shang Yang didn't execute him.

In other cases, as long as no one is killed in general private fighting, the most serious is to go to the border to do labor or to repair the mausoleum.

Afterwards, the Qin law has been repaired several times, and it is also quite humane, just like "losing time" can also be divided into reasons. Generally, labor labor because of heavy rain, even if it is a long time, can be exempted from punishment.

And these few people at the moment are also between private fighting and non-private fighting, and they don't have the idea of ​​hurting others and fighting, which is relatively light.

Looking at the countless people watching around, Bai Yan couldn't not deal with it, but he couldn't deal with it seriously either. A compromise is a good choice.

"go!"

When several Qin officials heard Bai Yan's words, they bowed their hands to Bai Yan one after another, and then prepared to take these people away.

And the young man who was questioned by Bai Yan just now took a step forward when seeing this, just as all the Qin officials were taken aback and were about to draw their swords, they saw the young man kneeling in front of Bai Yan, kowtowing desperately to Bai Yan, from the first In the beginning, there was blood on his forehead.

"General, I want to join the army, I want to kill the enemy under the general's command!!"

The boy's actions made all the men around look at Bai Yan with longing eyes.

They came here for nothing more than to enlist in the army. Here in Yanmen, enlisting in the army under the command of General Bai Yan, the people of Qin and Zhao, now they don't care anymore.

It's not that they forgot what Bai Qi did in Changping back then, it's not that they don't know that the Bai Yan in front of them is a member of the Bai family, after Bai Qi.

But, only Bai Yan would treat them as human beings!Even if you die in battle, you don't have to worry about your wife and children at home.

They knew what it meant to follow Bai Yan, but at this moment, looking at the boy kneeling on the ground, some people thought of staying at home to be old and weak, some thought of the empty corn bucket at home, and some thought of leaving home with their wives and children dressed in tatters. Rotten coarse cloth, holding the baby with expectant eyes.

outside the city gate.

Following the young man's voice, more and more people looked at Bai Yan, followed the young man's gaze, and knelt down towards Bai Yan, more and more.

In an instant, at a glance, there was a large area of ​​darkness in an instant.

These people come from other different places, some even in extremely remote places, they have different appearances and different experiences, but right now, they are all gathered here from all over the place with only one purpose.

Bai Yan!

They want to join Bai Yan's command and become Bai Yan's side cavalry and iron cavalry!
"General!"

Following a man's shout, in an instant, all the men and teenagers around looked at Bai Yan with red eyes and shouted.

"General!"

"General!!"

In an instant, the sound of generals reverberated at the city gate, and the sound that resounded through the entire sky spread throughout the entire city gate. At a glance, countless figures were all kneeling on the ground, staring straight at the front one. A young man in Qin Fu.

Even though they hadn't practiced before, at this moment, even if they were given a stick and Bai Yan asked them to go to the battlefield, they would rush to the front without hesitation.

Inside the city gate.

This scene was reflected beside the carriage, in the eyes of Zhao Qiu behind the cloth curtain, listening to the sound of the mountains and tsunami, looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Qiu's pupils flickered slightly.

And on the street far away.

I also saw Yang Duanhe and Mi Jing who came in a carriage. After receiving the news, the two of them came to the city gate. But right now, they heard the huge movement, stepped out of the carriage, and stood in front of the carriage. , looking at the scene in front of me, listening to the exciting voice, looking at the figure in the distance, not to mention that Mi Jing has already opened her mouth with a dull face, it is Yang Duanhe, who has been a soldier all his life, at this moment They were all dazed for a long time, and sighed deeply.

In the shops on the street, in front of the wooden windows on the second floor, there were also countless gentry people. Among them, Chen Ze and Fu Yao saw this scene, shook their heads in a daze, and looked at each other. Both found the shock in each other's eyes.

Among the countless figures on the street, Yang Jin led the clansmen beside him, watching this scene, wondering what he was thinking.

And not far from Yangjin, Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang, who also just arrived, at this moment, their expressions changed drastically, and they looked at each other uncertainly.

The slightly shortness of breath and the expression in their eyes revealed the fear and anxiety in their hearts.

In Shanwu City, the matter of the city gate has passed for a long time. For Shanwu, the county city, it seems to be just an episode.
The city wall can't speak, let alone remember.

However, for the people in the city, it is completely different.

At this moment in Shanwu City, no matter it is the bustling streets, or the restaurants, teahouses, and small houses beside the streets, without exception, everyone is talking about what happened at the city gate.

After all, the incident was too shocking for the people like them, and it was difficult to calm down.

Soon, it spread from person to person, and more and more people knew about it.

Following the conversation, no matter whether it was the vendors passing by the street, the common people, or the scholars drinking beside the woman in the restaurant, they all couldn't help but compare Li Mu back then with Bai Yan now, without exception, even those Those who are dissatisfied with Bai Yan also have to admit that in some respects, Bai Yan has already vaguely surpassed Li Mu.

Although Bai Yan is from Qin and a descendant of the Bai family, but compared to Bai Qi back then, as far as the common people are concerned, everything Bai Yan has done is obvious to all.

Bai Yan is indeed a good official.

Not to mention those officials in the Zhao country back then, just look around, how many people in the whole world have done what Bai Yan did.

"What's going on, what happened in Shanwu City today? Why is it so lively everywhere?"

"Clan brother just arrived at Shanwu, you don't know how much you missed, just today"

"Let me tell you that Bai Yan treated the soldiers under his command really well and kindly before. I heard that those soldiers who died with Bai Yan in battle, Bai Yan would receive rewards and distribute them all to the orphans of the fallen soldiers."

"Let me tell you! I have a distant relative, and her husband is Bian Qi. Not only did I see it with my own eyes, but even friends who have been to Yancheng said that Bai Yan not only gave clothes to the soldiers, but also..."

Walking on the street, it was full of heated discussions.

Looking at it at a glance, many people are regretting for missing the morning, which happened only for a moment.

Regret that I didn't see it with my own eyes, and now I can only learn from other people.

Among the pedestrians who came and went talking, Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang walked together, listening to the noisy conversation around them.

"Never let it live!"

Jing Qi looked around and saw that no one noticed, so he whispered to Zhao Wushang.

It has been a long time since the incident at the city gate, but not to mention that the people in the city are still talking about it, even the two of them are still unable to calm down their thoughts at this moment.

The scene at the city gate, in the eyes of the two of them, both of them knew what it meant.

They didn't dare to imagine how much of a threat Bai Yan would be to Chu State once he went south, and even if he won, it would be a miserable victory.

"But there are trusted guards around him, and it's as difficult as going to heaven to assassinate him. Besides, although I haven't seen Bai Yan's swordsmanship with my own eyes, the Huns have sent back news that the leader of the Huns, Tou Manchanyu, is indeed Almost killed by Bai Yan!"

Zhao Wu still heard Jing Qi's words, sighed helplessly, and after making sure that no one around heard him, he whispered Bai Yan's name.

Looking back on this period of time, the time I stayed here has been getting longer and longer. However, no matter how the two of them got in touch with Bai Yan, it was difficult to find opportunities in Bai Yan. Both of them couldn't figure it out. Bai Yan was so young , why is it so stable.

The number of times to meet Bai Yan alone was three times, and later Mi Jing helped the two of them, and asked Bai Yan to go to the restaurant several times.

However, after meeting so many times, whether it's drinking or chatting, the relationship between Bai Yan and Mi Jing and the two of them is getting better and better, getting closer and closer. It can even be said that Bai Yan and Mi Jing are both family friends. Friends, but from the beginning to the end, no matter what they say, Bai Yan has no pride, and has always treated others modestly, without any complacency.

They are really helpless, and they can't find an opportunity.

"Let Mi Jing find an opportunity to secretly ask Bai Yan to go out alone!"

Jing Qi said.

Ever since he got the news from the Xiongnu, Jing Qi knew that the Xiongnu could no longer threaten Bai Yan, and what happened today made Jing Qi feel uneasy. In the state of Chu, thinking of Bai Yan here in the north of the state of Qin, I am afraid that it is difficult to fall asleep.

"You are crazy! Don't mention whether Mi Jing will agree, even if Lord Changwen knows, he will not let you and me easily! Lord Changping has helped."

When Zhao Wushang heard Jing Qi's words, he showed shocked and terrified eyes, stopped, turned around and looked at Jing Qi, with a flash of anger in his eyes.

Not to mention that he has always respected Lord Changwen, even for the support of Lord Changping, he would not agree to this matter.

"Without Mr. Changping, we would have one less force to help, but Bai Yan is alive, you know what it means!"

Jing Qi turned around and looked at Zhao Wushang looking directly at himself, admonishing him.

If it is not forced by the situation, there is no other way, why would he be willing.For a long time, in his plan, Lord Changping was not the person he cared about the most, but Lord Changwen who really cared about him. Regardless of whether he was in Chu State or Qin State, Lord Changwen was quite prestigious, except for General Xiang Yan. However, in his Jing Qi's eyes, the only one who can serve as a pillar in Chu State is Chang Wenjun.

But right now.

Bai Yan, he must find a chance to get rid of him. He had a vague premonition that if he didn't get rid of Bai Yan this time, he would definitely regret it in the future.

"grown ups!"

On the street, just when Jing Qi and Zhao Wu were not giving in to each other, a man hurriedly came to Jing Qi and handed Jing Qi a roll of bamboo slips.

Seeing this, Jing Qi took the bamboo slips and opened them slowly. When he saw the contents inside, his expression changed drastically.

"not good!"

After Jing Qi read it, he said softly, his eyes were full of viciousness, and then handed the bamboo slips to Zhao Wushang.

When Zhao Wushang took the bamboo slips, he saw the news from the state of Chu saying that he had failed to fight for the throne. Now, with the support of the queen mother and Li Yuan, Xiong You succeeded to the throne as the king of Chu.

"what?"

Zhao Wu was still a little flustered, he didn't expect that Li Chu would lose so quickly, obviously General Xiang Yan and other gentry were there, and even Lord Changping was in Chu.

Thinking that Xiong You had succeeded to the throne as the new King of Chu, Zhao Wushang turned to look at Jing Qi.

If they don't go back now, if Xiong You is allowed to sit firmly on the throne, Xiong Chu's life may be in danger. When they return to Chu, they will see the corpse of Ling Chu.

"Go back to Chu!"

Jing Qi sighed, and looked forward unwillingly, looking in the direction of Bai Yan's mansion, hesitated for a moment, and decided to return to Chu State immediately.

Negative Chu lost, and lost so quickly, which made Jing Qi unexpected. He said before that, except for negative Chu, whoever becomes the king of Chu will die!

Shan Wucheng.

On another street, in the carriage, Zhao Qiu and Bai Yan, who came back from the Sheriff's Mansion, were riding in the carriage.

"How do you see so many Zhao people respecting you so much?"

Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan and said with a smile, he didn't complain to Bai Yan, he was dissatisfied after waiting in the carriage for nearly two hours, instead he asked Bai Yan how he feels now.

"If you announce the identity of the Qi people and lead the Zhao people to restore the Zhao country, your reputation in the future will be a hundred times, a thousand times better than today, and your reputation will be passed down through the ages!"

Zhao Qiuxuan said seductively, looking at Bai Yan's eyes beside him, full of anticipation.

"Okay?"

Zhao Qiu's charming light voice is enough to make any ordinary man's heart tremble, but it's a pity that the person in front of her is Bai Yan.

Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu's words, glanced at Zhao Qiu, and shook his head.

"Today's incident is really an accident! As for the fame passed down through the ages, the princess should find someone else!"

Bai Yan refused Zhao Qiu without hesitation, and then looked forward with a flat face.

"It's boring! Why do you feel that so many people are willing to be under your command, but you are not happy? If you were someone else, you probably have already made a lot of bold ambitions!"

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Zhao Qiu felt bored looking at Bai Yan who was not at all moved by fame, or even the reputation that has been passed down through the ages.

In Zhao Qiu's eyes, if today's affairs were changed to anyone else, he would probably be full of self-satisfaction and smile from ear to ear. Even Zhao Jia dreamed of gaining such prestige and support.

But Zhao Jia has never owned it!

Zhao Qiu turned his head, looked at the silent Bai Yan who was not at all happy, and looked aside after a few breaths, not bothering to continue talking.

Go back to the mansion.

Bai Yan came to the gazebo and saw Mr. Wei, and there were already bamboo slips that were delivered one after another in the gazebo.

Before the autumn harvest came, Bai Yan didn't expect those people to come to Shanwu in such a hurry, but after registering now, Bai Yan had to go back to the autumn harvest first, just to register a name first.

"teacher!"

Bai Yan saluted to Old Wei.

Zhao Qiu followed Bai Yan, and also glanced at Elder Wei. She knew where the city gate was, and Elder Wei must have known about it.

"Today's news spread, I'm afraid more people will come to Shanwu in the future! Other counties will definitely respond, this matter needs to be reported to Xianyang as soon as possible."

Elder Wei said.

After Bai Yan finished the ceremony, he nodded after hearing Wei Lao's reminder.

"Teacher, don't worry, I have discussed with Mr. Yang just now. First, Mr. Yang will send letters to other counties and hand them over to other county guards!"

Bai Yan said.

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Elder Wei felt relieved. As for Bai Yan's previous letter to Xianyang, asking Ying Zheng to transfer Yang Yan to Yanmen, Bai Yan had already told him, and he already knew what happened.

Thinking of this, looking at Bai Yan who lowered his head and holding the bamboo slips, Old Wei smiled slightly.

Now here in Yanmen, Bai Yan has won the hearts of the people. In three to five years, the Xiongnu in the north may not even dare to think about going south. In addition, Yang's Yang Yan has been transferred to be the deputy general of the side cavalry. The foundation of Yanmen has finally stabilized.

Looking at Bai Yan in front of him, he thought back to when he was sitting by the side of the road when he was in Qi State, the first time he saw that young man with messy hair and two rag bags on his back.

At that coincident encounter back then, even he could not have imagined that under his gaze, this young man with a rag bag on his back who went to the river to help him pick up the jug would really become his disciple as he wished, and in the blink of an eye, The young man was already wearing the official uniform of the Qin State, and served as the captain of Yanmen County, governing Yanmen, which was troubled by Zhao State at the beginning, to such an extent.

At this moment, Elder Wei was full of relief. In the eyes of Elder Wei, Chen Qiu who wrote the Three Strategies and the Grand Duke's Art of War was far inferior to watching the young man grow slowly in front of him.

Thinking of the young boy who always disliked him and nagged him and didn't want him to follow him, but always gave him dry food with a soft heart, a faint smile appeared in Wei Laolao's eyes.

Little things!

Looking at Zhao Qiu aside, Elder Wei also keenly noticed at this moment that when Zhao Qiu inadvertently looked at the young man next to him, his eyes were vaguely different from the look he had when he knew the identity of the young man, and he was not giving in to the old man.

"really!"

Elder Wei nodded, and an expression of "I understand" appeared on his old face. When he saw Zhao Qiu looking over, Elder Wei looked away, as if nothing had happened.

Look out to the southern sky outside the gazebo.

Elder Wei is clear.

Now that Bai Yan has stabilized Yanmen, Ying Zheng no longer has any worries. Something big is about to happen in the south!
