Qin Gong

Chapter 338 Conversation with Yang Duan and the old general, unexpected people.

In Luoyang City.

Before Bai Yan had time to wait for Gui to deliver the letter, he received an order from the eunuch. Ying Zheng gave the order and continued on his way to Handan the next day.

"Wei Chen obeys!"

Bai Yan was in the courtyard, heard the eunuch's words, and bowed his hands to the eunuch to salute.

After taking over the eunuch's edict with both hands, Bai Yan looked at the eunuch in front of him.

"Pastor!"

Bai Yan composes the ceremony again.

Seeing the eunuch bowing his hands politely in return, Bai Yan thought for a while.

"Is Your Majesty in the Luoyang Palace?"

Bai Yan asked.

According to normal expectations, it shouldn't be so soon to leave, but now that the edict is suddenly sent, Bai Yan is a little puzzled, what is going on.

"Return to General Bai, Your Majesty is accompanying Mrs. Zheng, playing in the Luoyang Palace!"

The patriarch cupped his hands to Bai Yan and said.

heard.

Bai Yan frowned slightly, Madam Zheng?

When he left Xianyang, he was the guard for this trip, but he had never heard of Mrs. Zheng accompanying him.

"Then Madam Zheng?"

Bai Yan thought for a while, then looked at the patriarch and asked.

Regarding this woman who appeared suddenly, Bai Yan did not receive any news.

"My lord, Mrs. Zheng is a well-known beauty in Luoyang City. She came from a famous family. She is the youngest daughter of the famous Confucian Duke Zheng. When she heard that the king came to Luoyang, she specially asked Mrs. Zheng to sleep with her."

The reader explained.

Afterwards, he informed Bai Yan of the original process one by one, and reassured Bai Yan that there is no need to worry about the origins of Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Ying Kan, Mr. Ying Kan has already investigated clearly.

"Thank you!"

Bai Yan nodded, and thanked the visitor in return.

Afterwards, Bai Yan invited the visitor to sit down for a while, but was declined politely by the visitor.

Bai Yan personally sent the visitor out of the mansion.

In front of the mansion.

Bai Yan looked at the back of the visitor leaving, and his heart was full of worries.

"Go get Yan Mao over!"

Bai Yan turned around and said to the servants of the mansion.

"promise!"

The servants hurriedly bowed their hands and took orders.

After returning to the mansion, Bai Yan came to the study, stood by the window of the study, and looked at the scenery outside the window.

It wasn't until this time that Bai Yan suddenly realized that from receiving the order to the subsequent arrangement, there was one problem that had been ignored all the time, and that was Ying Zheng.

As the king of Qin, Ying Zheng has a noble status. The news that Ying Zheng left Xianyang for Handan has long been known.

Whether it is those who are trying to take the opportunity to stand up and enjoy the glory and wealth, or Zheng Gongxian's daughter, without exception, they will not let go of this opportunity for Yingzheng to travel.

This is precisely the case, the biggest omission of this trip.

Because Bai Yan can mobilize all the iron cavalry officers and men, and can defend against everyone, but he has no rights, which involves Ying Zheng.

by the window.

Bai Yan looked thoughtful, not sure whether Mrs. Zheng was an enemy or a friend.

And now that Mrs. Zheng is already with Ying Zheng, Ying Kan has investigated, and he has no right to interfere.

"General!"

Outside the study, Yan Mao walked in slowly, came to Bai Yan's side and clapped his hands together to salute.

"Just now, King Cai sent an edict, and we will set off tomorrow and continue to Handan!"

Bai Yan looked out the window.

Inform Yan Mao of the edict just obtained.

"Ok?"

When Yan Mao heard Bai Yan's words, he was surprised and unprepared.

so fast?
But after regaining his senses, Yan Mao looked at Bai Yan and immediately realized that the sudden order had disrupted all the general's deployment.

thought here.

Yan Mao hands over to Bai Yan.

"The last general will go to the camp and let the soldiers get ready!"

Yan Mao said.

Although he was very surprised by the sudden edict, Yan Mao knew that military orders must not be violated.

Now that the king has given the order to the general, he will go and get the soldiers ready to go tomorrow.

"Wait a minute!"

Bai Yan said, then turned around and looked at Yan Mao.

"I will go to Old General Yang later, and then I will go to the Luoyang Palace to see the king. There is a certain possibility of going to the palace. It is the enemy's plan. You stay in the mansion for me and keep an eye on Luoyang City."

Bai Yan instructed.

The reason why he didn't leave with the patriarch just now is that Bai Yan is afraid that this is a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

After all, as long as one leaves the mansion, if any serious mistake occurs in Xianyang City, as the chief general, Bai Yan will also be implicated.

"promise!"

When Yan Mao heard Bai Yan's words, he knew what Bai Yan meant, and hurriedly clapped his hands together to compose the ceremony.

After the ceremony.

Yan Mao watched Bai Yan prepare to leave, and thought for a while.

"General, is there something wrong?"

Yan Mao asked.

Bai Yan didn't speak, but shook his head at Yan Mao.

In Luoyang City.

Bai Yan was wearing Qin's official uniform and sat in the carriage. After a long time, he arrived at the mansion of Yang Duan and the old general.

The carriage stopped, Bai Yan didn't get out of the carriage in a hurry, but sat in the carriage and waited for something.

"General, there are many people following!"

An iron cavalry officer said softly outside the carriage.

When Bai Yan heard this, there was no surprise.

"Arrange soldiers to follow those people!"

Bai Yan spoke, and after finishing speaking, he just got up and walked out of the carriage.

Those following people should be the eyeliner of the gentry, Luoyang city is so big, there are many gentry, and some gentry have intertwined relationships, without evidence, Bai Yan dared not act rashly.

However, it is not difficult to find out the gentry and forces behind it through those people.

Bai Yan knew that the iron cavalry soldiers who had been on the border all year round were far better than these gentry eyeliners in terms of scouting and tracking.

Looking at the mansion in front of him.

Bai Yan came forward with a confidant holding a cloth, and after telling the servant of the mansion his identity, he was quickly brought into the mansion by the servant.

Then he followed the servant all the way to the study, and saw Old General Yang in official uniform.

Inside the study.

Bai Yan looked at Old General Yang who got up, and hurriedly clapped his hands in salute.

"Bai Yan, meet Old General Yang!"

Bai Yan said.

When Old General Yang saw Bai Yan, he was naturally not too polite. After nodding slightly, he returned the salute and signaled Bai Yan to sit down.

Bai Yan took the cloth wrap from his confidant, and put it on the wooden table.

Under the suspicious eyes of Old General Yang, Bai Yan lifted the official uniform, sat down on his knees, and opened the cloth wrapping.

"This is?"

Old General Yang looked at the more than 20 scrolls of bamboo slips wrapped in cloth, his brows were wrinkled, and his eyes were full of doubts.

"Old General Yang, these are the news sent by the guards of the cities along the way between Luoyang and Handan!"

Bai Yan didn't hide anything, and said bluntly, then reached out his hand to signal Old General Yang to pick it up and watch.

In Bai Yan's eyes.

Although Old General Yang didn't understand why Bai Yan brought these bamboo slips over, he still looked at them with doubts.

After a long time.

After reading all the bamboo slips, Old General Yang put down the last roll of bamboo slips, his wrinkled old face slowly turned to Bai Yan who was opposite the wooden table.

"Bai Yan, are you suspecting that these news are all fake?"

General Yang asked softly.

Among these messages, it is reported that soldiers have been sent to guard along the way, and everything is fine.

However, since Bai Yan brought here, it proved that Bai Yan did not believe the news.

really.

Under the gaze of Old General Yang, Bai Yan nodded slowly after pondering for a while.

"It's not that Bai Yan suspects my Qin officials, but he is worried. These news seem to be sent to Bai Yan on purpose, so that I can feel at ease."

Bai Yan said.

Speaking of this, Bai Yan's brows were full of worry.

It was also in front of Old General Yang that Bai Yan spoke so bluntly just now, if it were another person, Bai Yan would not have said so clearly.

"In the past, there was only one county in Han, and many gentry secretly rebelled against Qin. Bai Yan didn't believe that those gentry in Zhao would abide by their duty!"

Bai Yan explained that while speaking, he also mentioned the things in Yingchuan County in the past.

This is also telling Yang Duan and the old general that there are so many anti-Qin forces in a place as big as a palm in Han, not to mention that there are more and richer countless gentry in Zhao.

"Did Ying Kan say anything?"

When Yang Duan and the old general heard Bai Yan's words, they suddenly asked.

Bai Yan thought for a while, and told about the matter with Ying Kan.

After speaking.

Bai Yan saw Yang Duan and the old general shaking their heads.

"Fortunately, you are in charge of guarding this trip!"

Yang Duan and the old general said with emotion.

Upon hearing these words, Bai Yan stared straight at Yang Duan and the old general.

Because Bai Yan knew well that the meaning of Old General Yang's words obviously agreed with his speculation.

"It used to be in Yingchuan!"

Old General Yang said, looking at the characters Qin on the bamboo slips in his hand, a trace of melancholy appeared on his face.

"The old man doesn't know that South Korea was destroyed by Qin just now, and there must be many anti-Qin people in South Korea."

General Yang said.

Speaking of what happened in Yingchuan back then, Old General Yang's eyes fell into memories.

Then Old General Yang told Bai Yan.

When he was ordered to lead the army of the Qin State and was about to go north from Yingchuan County, he had been sending people to inquire about the news. At that time, most of the news was the same as before, but what happened afterwards was completely opposite.

Inside the study.

Bai Yan knelt quietly behind the wooden table, listening to Yang Duan and the old general tell what happened in Yingchuan County at that time.

After Old General Yang finished speaking.

Bai Yan just breathed a sigh of relief, looking at these bamboo slips, he finally confirmed his guess.

The quieter and more stable, the more it looks like the backside is safe and sound, but it shows that there is a huge force behind the scenes.

Sure enough, this trip did not come to Old General Yang in vain.

With the old general's words, Bai Yan didn't have much confidence in his heart, but he had more confidence. At least he went to see Ying Zheng, no matter what, he would not regret it.

"But right now, how can you convince the king?"

Yang Duan and the old general looked at the young Bai Yan across the wooden table and asked softly.

At this moment, Yang Duan and the old general were very pleased.

The same mistake, the young Bai Yan did not follow his old path, and when he was confused, he came to the mansion to see him.

But at the same time, Old General Yang is also very clear that the most important issue right now is how to persuade the king.

Think back to the beginning.

Old General Yang was also suspicious, and stopped again.

At that time, Old General Yang knew very well that it was impossible for Yingzheng, all the generals, all the civil and military officials, and all the guards in other places to stop because of his doubts about the attack on Zhao.

Right now, Bai Yan is going to do the same. On the way to Handan, it is impossible for Bai Yan to have more than [-] soldiers, laborers, Xianyang defenders, and even Ying Zheng and the accompanying officials because of Bai Yan's doubts and guesses. All stay down.

"If you need the old man, you can speak up!"

Old General Yang looked at Bai Yan's worried look, and said.

Bai Yan shook his head.

"Thank you, old general!"

Bai Yan cupped his hands to Old General Yang and said, the main purpose of coming here on this trip is to ask Old General Yang for his opinion.

The current situation is very special, Bai Yan is not stupid, he will never let Old General Yang get involved in this matter, otherwise if something goes wrong, not only will he be affected, but Old General Yang will also be dragged down for no reason.

Bai Yan would not do such a loss-making thing.

If one thing goes wrong, you must not take it all in.

"Old general, Bai Yan will take his leave first and go to the palace to meet the king!"

After thinking clearly, Bai Yan got up slowly, and bid farewell to General Yang.

Seeing this, Old General Yang also got up and greeted Bai Yan.

"If necessary, you can order someone to tell the old man!"

Old General Yang sent Bai Yan out of the study, and under Bai Yan's polite refusal, he stood where he was and instructed Bai Yan.

Bai Yan nodded, saluted Old General Yang again, and then left.

outside the door.

Yang Duan and the old general just stood there, looked at Bai Yan's figure, and left with the maid.

After a few breaths, the courtyard returned to silence.

At this time, the sound of footsteps came from behind Yang Duan and the old general. General Yang heard the movement and didn't look back.

"Eldest brother, this young man will surely achieve great things in the future!"

General Yang said softly.

And the person who came out of the study was none other than Yang Xian, who had had a gap with Bai Yan in Shangjun a year ago.

No matter what, Bai Yan could never have imagined that in Caizhi's study, apart from him and Yang Duanhe, Yang Xian was also hiding in the study.

Compared with a year ago, Yang Xian at this time is no longer as vigorous as before, and there seems to be more gray hair on the coiled hair under the official rank on his head.

"Ok!"

Yang Xian looked at the yard in the distance with complicated eyes.

He had already read the bamboo slips placed on the wooden table, and he had to say, not to mention his eldest son and second son, even anyone, including himself, would not have any news after receiving these news. what doubts.

However, that young man had doubts, and even came here with bamboo slips, begging to see his younger brother Yang Duanhe.

Watch it all.

Recalling what happened in Shangjun back then, Yang Xian was full of regret and helplessness.

At that time, when we met for the first time, who would have thought that this young man would be so sensitive.

"Brother, let go of your grudges! Whether it's for Yang Xiong or our Yang family. Besides, as an official, Yang Xin has been dealing with nobles from other places all year round, so he will inevitably not be involved in the future."

Yang Duanhe turned around and looked at his elder brother.

Knowing that the king came to Luoyang, the elder brother came to Luoyang to wait early in the morning, and he also met the king yesterday, and just now, when he learned that Bai Yan asked to see him, the elder brother would rather stand behind the bookshelf than see Bai Yan.

From this, it can be known that the eldest brother still has not let go of the grudge he had towards Bai Yan at the beginning.

Outside the study.

Yang Xian's expression was full of hesitation when he heard his younger brother's words.

Bai Yan had saved Yang Yan's life, and he had helped his younger brother in Xianyang, Yang Xian already knew all this, but regarding Bai Yan, Yang Xian always had a hurdle in his heart.

"it is good!"

In the end, Yang Xian nodded slightly after thinking of his eldest son and second son.

The Yang family cannot split, and his younger brother is right. In the future, the Yang family will most likely seek Bai Yan.

At my age, I am about to step into the loess, so I shouldn't affect my children and future generations because of myself.

And at the beginning
"It's because I forgot my true heart!"

Yang Xian looked up from the courtyard, looked at the blue sky, and murmured in his heart.

If I didn't have any prejudice against Bai Yan back then, everything would be completely different.

Accompanied by this thought, the depression in Yang Xian's heart disappeared immediately, and he relaxed.

"But this time, whether he can deal with those gentry forces is still unknown!"

Yang Xian said.

Then he retracted his gaze and looked in the direction that Bai Yan left just now.

"Those forces on this trip are no weaker than the ones you encountered back then, and even worse!"

Yang Xian stroked his long beard, took a deep breath, and sighed.

　After the unification of the world, Yingzheng toured the world five times!
