Qin Gong

Inside the carriage, Yan Gu felt the very slow speed of the carriage after entering the city, and listened to the extremely lively noise outside, his heart was full of anticipation.

Because if the news he received before was correct, then his nephew should also be in Xianyang City.

thought here.

Fugu was very happy.

It has been more than two years since we first met in Xincheng. Although he is in the state of Chu and has never contacted his nephew, he often hears about his nephew, but every time, he will be raped by his nephew I was taken aback by what happened.

The Zhan Yue clan and the Xiongnu led the army to attack Zhao and fought against Li Mu, all of which finally made Qiangu clear that the seemingly lying words of the mother were really not lies.

That kid, nephew, is really a candidate for being a general and a general.

Listening to the chatter of Xiang Liang and others behind him, Qiang Gu did not participate.

An hour later.

As the carriage drove slowly to a relatively secluded place and stopped, Qiangu heard what the groom said outside, so he got up quickly and walked out of the carriage.

Looking at the prime minister's mansion in front of him, Yan Gu touched the saber at his waist.

The reason why he wears a sword is not that Fugu is good at martial arts, but that as a man, he is naturally fond of swords. Moreover, as his status has gradually improved in the past two years, besides silk clothes and jade ornaments, he naturally also wears a sword to show his dignity. identity.

"Brother Liang!"

Yan Gu turned his head to look at Xiang Liang who got off the carriage.

"go!"

Xiang Liang nodded to Qiangu, looking at the prime minister's mansion with white silk hanging in front of him, Xiang Liang took the lead to walk towards the gate of the mansion.

Behind Xiang Liang, the two scholars of Chu State took a look around, and then saw Qiang Gu and Xiang Liang walking towards the Prime Minister's mansion, and quickly followed behind.

In the prime minister's mansion.

Under the leadership of the servants, Xiang Liang, Qiong Gu and others soon saw Mi Hong, the second son of Lord Changping, who was dressed in hemp and filial piety.

No matter Xiang Liang or Qiong Gu, Mi Hong is no stranger to him.

Previously, any news from Mr. Changping was basically sent to Chu State and handed over to Mi Hong, and Mi Hong had always lived in Chu State.

So they are already very familiar.

"Zi Zhong, my condolences!"

When Xiang Liang saw Mi Hong, he raised his hand to salute.

Yan Gu also followed Xiang Liang, bowing to Mi Hong and comforting him softly.

can see.

Having experienced the pain of losing his eldest brother, Mi Hong, who is in his early twenties, seems to have grown a lot during this time. Although his face is tired and tired, and his eyes are full of dark circles, but compared with the playful dandy he used to be, now The face is silent, but the difference is still very obvious.

"Brother Xiang Liang, brother Yan Gu!"

Seeing Xiang Liang and Qiong Gu, Mi Hong raised his hand and slowly returned the gift.

After the ceremony.

Mi Hong returned the salute to the two people behind Xiang Liang.

"Brother Yan Shou, brother Qi Heng!"

When he was in Chu State, Mi Hong often drank and had fun with these four people in front of him, and he also took care of these four people. Therefore, although his eldest brother Mi Nuo was assassinated in Chu State, the murderer has not been found yet, but for the For the four people in front of them, after Mi Hong completed the ceremony, he still turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to the four people.

Seeing this, Xiang Liang and Yan Gu looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. All the worries along the way had dissipated.

Glancing at Mi Hong gratefully, Xiang Liang and Qiang Gu gestured for Mi Hong to go ahead after the ceremony.

However, it has not waited for a few people to leave.

Suddenly, under the corridor towards the gate of the mansion, a servant ran over in a panic.

"Something went wrong, my lord!"

The servant's voice made Xiang Liang and Yan Shi stop in their tracks. Yan Shou and Qi Heng also stood in place and looked at the servant.

"What's so alarming about?"

Mi Hong frowned slightly, looked at the servant who came running and asked.

Under Mi Hong's gaze, the servant was out of breath, glanced at the four people beside him, then looked at Mi Hong, and bowed to Mi Hong.

"Gentleman, there is news from the palace that the envoys of the Yan Kingdom, under the pretense of offering land, carried hidden daggers in the hall, and attempted to assassinate the king when they offered the pictures!"

The servant said to Mi Hong.

some words.

In an instant, everyone was shocked and their pupils shrank.

"What? Assassination wins."

"Yan Kingdom!!!"

Yan Shou and Qi Heng muttered in shock.

Xiang Liang and Yan Shi also looked at each other. When they heard the news, they couldn't believe their ears. They wondered whether Yan Guo was crazy, and at this time he dared to assassinate under the pretense of offering a picture.

And Mi Hong, who was wearing mourning clothes, was not much better, his eyes were full of astonishment on his absent-minded face.

Assassination?

Then Yan Guo ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall?

Mi Hong was in a daze, but Xiang Liang was the first to recover.

"The king of Qin is now"

Xiang Liang was short of breath and felt the rapid heartbeat in his heart. He looked at the servant and asked, and couldn't help but look forward to it.

Although he didn't know where Yan Guo had the courage to assassinate Ying Zheng, but now that he heard the news, Xiang Liang was eager to hear the news of the success of the matter.

As long as Yingzheng dies, there will be huge changes in the world situation at that time, and the court of Qin State will also fall into chaos. At that time, Lord Changping and a group of Chu officials were there, and Chu State secretly manipulated it. The son helped Su succeed to the throne.

When the young monarch succeeds to the throne, the power will be controlled by the important ministers at that time. The best result will only be that he will be emptied by the powerful ministers just like Yingzheng was. Within ten years, there will be no achievements at all.

This is still the best result!

Thinking of this, Xiang Liang's heart trembled with excitement, and he looked at the servant anxiously, wanting to know the result immediately.

"."

When the servant heard Xiang Liang's words, he didn't answer Xiang Liang. After all, the servant didn't know Xiang Liang, so he immediately looked at Zhong Junzi Mi Hong.

"It's not an outsider, say it!"

Mi Hong naturally understood what the servant meant and said without hesitation.

When Xiang Liang heard this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Mi Hong, and gave Mi Hong a grateful look.

Xiang Liang was very moved by this sentence that he was not an outsider, and he also vowed in his heart that no matter what, he would personally find the murderer who killed Mi Nuo in the future and hand it over to Mi Hong himself.

"Yes!"

When the servant heard Mi Hong's words, he bowed his hands to collect the ceremony, and he no longer had any scruples.

In Xiang Liang's expectant, nervous and curious eyes of Qian Gu and others, the servant told what happened in the palace one by one.

"When the Yan envoy was assassinating, it happened that Zuo Geng Baiyan was beside him, so the envoy Yan's assassination was stopped by Zuo Geng Baiyan. However, according to the news from the palace, it was said that the envoy Yan's assassin's dagger was smeared. Poison, after Zuo Geng Baiyan was wounded to save the king, he has passed out and his life or death is unknown!"

The servant reported slowly.

When Xiang Liang heard that Ying Zheng was not dead, his anticipation instantly sank to a trough, and his face was full of disappointment.

Yan Shou and Qi Heng also shook their heads regretfully.

Only Qiangu, upon hearing what the servant said, widened his eyes, looked astonished, and looked dull.

Ying Zheng was rescued by his nephew! ! !
Now the nephew has been injured and poisoned?

Qiang Gu's whole body trembled, his lips turned white, but fortunately, neither Xiang Liang nor anyone else noticed him at this time.

Qionggu's breath was short and his expression was full of worry, but he knew that no matter what, Xiang Liang would not be able to find out right now, so he tried his best to bear the worry in his heart, hoping that his nephew would be fine, and wondering if he could find a chance to see him.

At this moment, Qiangu can't imagine, if his nephew has a mistake, how he will face his elderly mother when he returns to Qi country one day in the future!

"What's wrong? Brother Yangu?"

Xiang Liang sighed full of disappointment, Ying Zheng was not dead, which made Xiang Liang look disappointed, but when Xiang Liang turned his head, he found that Qi Gu was short of breath, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his expression was a little uneasy.

Xiang Liang trusts Qiang Gu, who is the representative of the Qu family, and regards him as his lifelong friend. Xiang Liang always remembers the kindness of saving lives in the past.

"The assassination failed, I'm afraid it will be trouble for the country of Yan!"

It was difficult for Qiangu to hide the worry in his heart. Hearing Xiang Liang's inquiry, after recovering from his senses, he decided to tell Xiang Liang the 'truth'.

"I'm afraid that the country of Yan is in danger of subjugation!"

Qi Heng listened to Qiang Gu's words, looked at Qiang Gu who was wearing Chu costume and carrying a sword, and agreed with his approval.

This is not a good thing for Chu State.

"But why did the envoy of Yan bring a dagger into the Xianyang palace?"

Yan Shou said suddenly.

Hearing the words of Yan Gu and Qi Heng, Yan Shou, who was born in a military family, was more concerned about why the envoys of the Yan Kingdom could go to the Xianyang Palace with daggers. You must know that the Xianyang Palace is heavily guarded. Even if envoys from other countries enter, they will be strictly ordered. Search is.

"According to the news from the palace, it is said that it is likely to be related to the concubine Meng Jia and the guard Ling Su Ren."

Hearing Yan Shou's words, the servant replied respectfully.

"Mengjia!!!"

Mi Hong was surprised when he heard the servant's words. He didn't expect that the assassination of Ying Zheng by Yan State would involve Mengshi Mengjia.

As for the guard Ling Su Ren, Mi Hong is not very familiar with it, but since it has the surname of Su, it is very likely to be related to the Su family who followed Qin General Meng Wu. Long ago in Chu State, Mi Hong treated the Su family I have some impressions, and the most impressive one is that I heard that Su Clan Su Han, the 19-year-old general who followed Meng Wu in the Southern and Northern Wars, was beheaded by Bai Yan.

"Monsieur may be in trouble this time!"

Xiang Liang said calmly, turned his head and looked at Qiang Gu.

When Qiangu heard Xiang Liang's words, he was worried about his nephew's comfort, and he didn't care about Mengshi, but when he saw Xiang Liang's eyes, and drank with Xiang Liang shoulder to shoulder for two years, how could Qiang Gu not know Xiang Liang's eyes among the meaning.

Xiang Liang is going to see the situation and go to Montessori! ! !
thought here.

Xiong nodded calmly to Xiang Liang.

Early morning hours.

Bai Yan slowly opened his eyes, turned his head with a weak face, and looked at Master Xu who was kneeling beside the bed, sleeping soundly, Bai Yan couldn't help showing a wry smile.

Trying to get up.

However, Bai Yan felt so weak that he had never experienced before, which made it very difficult for Bai Yan.

After finally sitting up and looking at Master Xu, Bai Yan didn't bother Master Xu to rest, looking at the morning mist rising outside the window, Bai Yan could guess that Master Xu should have been guarding him all night last night.

After getting out of bed, trembling and full of weakness, he covered Master Xu with a piece of clothing, and Bai Yan turned around and walked out of the room.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, it should be Bai Yu's mansion.

Bai Yan frowned slightly, and stretched his slightly numb arms, feeling the pain along with it, grateful for his life.

Recalling the previous situation in the Xianyang Great Hall, Bai Yan was also in a cold sweat, no wonder Jing Ke was honored by Yan Dan as a guest of honour, given his status as a minister and the rich and beauties favored him, Jing Ke's martial arts were indeed far superior to ordinary people.

Especially Jing Ke's unafraid of death and his madness before death.

Fortunately, at that time, Ying Zheng had Wang Jian.

"The general is awake!!!"

In the corridor not far away, a maid saw Bai Yan wearing white clothes, standing under the eaves stretching his muscles and bones, with a look of joy on his face, then turned around and ran towards the place where Bai Yu lived.

Seeing this, Bai Yan ignored it, but at this moment, there was movement from the room behind him, and a suspicious voice vaguely sounded.

Within a few breaths, a hurried figure ran out of the room.

"General!!"

Master Xu's tired face was full of anxiety, and he didn't feel so flustered until he saw Bai Yan. Seeing Bai Yan wake up, Master Xu's eyes were red, his expression was full of joy, and he stood there feeling a little helpless.

Bai Yan looked at Xu Master who was crying with joy, and smiled.

"You worked hard last night, you will have breakfast later, you go to rest first!"

Bai Yan said.

Upon hearing Bai Yan's words, Master Xu obediently stood in front of the room door and nodded.

Soon.

Upon receiving the news that Bai Yan had woken up, Bai Yu and Lu Shi hurried over from not far away.

Bai Yan was a little surprised to see that Bai Yu didn't go to court.

"Uncle! Aunt!"

Bai Yan turned around and saluted Bai Yu and Lu Shi.

"How is your body?"

Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan, and asked with concern.

Lu Shi on the side also looked at Bai Yan.

"Uncle Lao is concerned, except for a little pain, there are no other symptoms!"

Bai Yan cupped his hands and said, feeling Bai Yu's concern, Bai Yan also said the truth.

This incident made Bai Yan extremely fortunate that he could meet Master Xu, otherwise he would have lost his life after being poisoned twice, either in Handan or in Xianyang.

"That's good. You have been unconscious for the past three days. Fortunately, Miss Xu is watching over you day and night, so you finally survived!"

Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Bai Yan's words, as long as there is nothing to do.

Recalling that Bai Yan suddenly became like a dead person in the past three days, Bai Yu was really worried. After all, Bai Yu knew the harm of poison the most, but like him, even though the poison in his body had been removed, his body was no longer what it was before. .

Fortunately, Bai Yan's current appearance should not have corrupted his veins.

"Three days?"

Bai Yan was astonished when he heard Bai Yu's words.

Bai Yu meant that three days had passed since the assassination?
thought here.

Bai Yan turned his head and looked at Master Xu behind him. In other words, Master Xu has been by his bedside for the past three days, guarding him day and night?

In front of the door.

Sensing Bai Yan's gaze, Master Xu lowered his head and pinched the hem of his clothes.

"My lord, outside the mansion, Imperial Physician Xia seeks an audience!"

At this time, a servant walked to Bai Yu's side and reported to Bai Yu.

Bai Yan heard the servant's words and looked at Bai Yu.

"I didn't expect Doctor Xia to come to the residence so early!"

Bai Yu said.

When Lu heard this, he suddenly laughed.

"He's not just here to check Bai Yan's pulse!"

While Lu was speaking, she looked at Bai Yan with a smile on her eyes, Xu Shi who was standing timidly, recalling the day when the imperial physician Xia Wu and the first time saw Xu Master, he couldn't move his eyes away, and later when he was treating Bai Yan, he was even taken care of by Xu Shi. The doctor's medical skills were amazed.

From that day on, Xia Wuqiu, who used to serve Ying Zheng's side and was rather arrogant, seemed to be lost. He not only showed humility, but also secretly looked at Xu Shi with admiring eyes from time to time.

As someone who has experienced it, Mrs. Lu is extremely sensitive about this aspect, and he will definitely not be wrong.

"Ask Imperial Physician Xia to come in!"

Bai Yu turned to the servant and said.

At this time, Bai Yan also noticed Lu Shi's eyes and the meaning behind his words, and looked at Master Xu behind him calmly.

Master Xu also noticed Bai Yan's eyes, looked at Bai Yan timidly, then shook his head calmly.

Master Xu could feel the kindness of Lu Shi and General Bai Yu, but to Master Xu, her heart already lived with someone, as long as the general did not speak, she would not leave, let alone follow other people.

After a while.

Under Bai Yan's instruction, Master Xu left to have breakfast and then go to bed early.

In the corridor, Bai Yu also told Bai Yan what happened after Bai Yan fell into a coma that day.

"After you fell into a coma that day, the king was furious. The envoy of Yan, Jing Ke, was ordered to be quartered by five horses. The envoy Qin Wuyang, the general guarding the palace, and the guard Ling Su Ren were all beheaded. All the soldiers guarding the palace at the same time were implicated and executed."

Bai Yu asked his wife, Mrs. Lu, to take Master Xu to have breakfast, then stood alone with Bai Yan under the eaves, looking at the yard and said.

At this moment, recalling the scene where the envoy Yan assassinated Ying Zheng in the palace hall that day, even Bai Yu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Who would have imagined that the envoy of the Yan State was actually an assassin, and that the Yan State dared to carry out the assassination in the name of offering land for peace? He dared to accept bribes for personal gain, which led to unintentionally helping Yan Guo to assassinate.

Fortunately, Bai Yan was by Ying Zheng's side at that time! !

It's also a coincidence, because before at Hangu Pass, Bai Yan faced Qin Wuyang's provocation and seriously injured Qin Wuyang, and then replaced Qin Wuyang in the main hall to make up for his mistakes.

"Fortunately, you boy blocked the assassination, and let Yan Guo's conspiracy come to light!"

Bai Yu said with emotion, turned his head slightly, and looked at Bai Yan who was still very weak beside him.

It is said that Qin Wuyang confessed after being interrogated that the purpose of this trip was not only Ying Zheng, but also Bai Yan!Originally, Jing Ke, envoy of Yan, was in charge of assassinating Bai Yan, but due to Qin Wuyang's timidity, there was a change. In the end, Jing Ke had to decide to assassinate Ying Zheng himself.

Thinking of Jing Ke's origin, Bai Yu also felt a slight chill in his heart.

"Did the king get hurt that day? Bai Yan vaguely remembered that in the main hall that day, Bai Yan pushed the king, and then he became dizzy and unconscious."

Bai Yan heard Bai Yu's words, looked at Bai Yu and asked.

Bai Yu shook his head when he heard Bai Yan's words.

"Do not worry!"

After Bai Yu finished speaking, he looked at the young Bai Yan beside him with the most envious eyes in his life.

Looking back on that day, all the civil and military officials saw with their own eyes Ying Zheng's unprecedented anger, but at the same time, all the civil and military officials in the hall also saw with their own eyes that Ying Zheng stood beside Bai Yan full of concern, even Even Wang Jian was thrown aside, and he looked anxiously at Bai Yan who had passed out. After Xia Wuqiu learned that Bai Yan was poisoned, Ying Zheng gave the order without hesitation, and immediately sent people all over Xianyang. In the city, the entire state of Qin offered a reward, and those who could save Bai Yan would be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and titles.

This was the first time that Bai Yu had seen Ying Zheng so concerned about him in so many years as an official in Qin State.

Even Bai Yu was thinking about it.

If I can let myself experience it once, even if it is only for a moment, I am willing to kill myself, and there will be no regrets in this life and death.

"I, Bai Yu, was by no means the only one who had this idea at that time! It is estimated that almost all the officials thought so!"

Bai Yu smiled wryly in his heart, and couldn't help but think back to the scene that day, recalling the looks of all civil servants and generals whose eyes were red with envy.

"If the king hears the news that your kid has woken up, he will probably be very happy!"

Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan, and while speaking, he didn't tell Bai Yan what Ying Zheng looked like that day. Anyway, Bai Yu knew very well that if the king found out that Bai Yan woke up later, he might come to see Bai Yan in person.

Accompanied by this thought, Bai Yu's heart was really sour with envy.

Sigh.

A look of disappointment appeared on Bai Yu's face.

He Bai Yu is a general who was born in the battlefield, if he can get that kind of Wang En in this life, there is no need to fear death! ! !
"What happened to uncle?"

Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Bai Yu say that Ying Zheng was fine, but seeing Bai Yu looking up at the sky and sighing, he frowned slightly, and looked at Bai Yu with some doubts.

Bai Yu shook his head, but didn't answer Bai Yan.

After all, Bai Yu can't say that he, Bai Yu, thinks more about that day in the court hall, preventing the envoy from Yan from being assassinated, and the one who spared his life to block the dagger for Ying Zheng, was Bai Yu.
