Qin Gong

Chapter 447 The Great Sword Master in the Village
The next day, as the sun rose in the morning, there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the streets in Handan City, full of vitality.

Compared with other vassal states in the Central Plains, Qi State, which has not broken out in wars for decades, is really a pure land for the people. Although farmers are still busy for survival, there are also unfair places among the gentry, but compared with other vassal states , the people of Qi State are truly stable, and they never have to worry about wars.

Linzi city gate, a carriage was escorted by four followers, leaving the city gate.

Going straight along the official road, the carriage didn't stop slowly until it reached the small road yesterday.

Master Xu stepped out of the carriage, looked around, and after confirming that there was no problem, he took the two men and walked along the path, while the other two stayed by the carriage to guard the carriage.

A completely small road stretches away, passing by the river and entering a mountain forest.

Seeing the mountains and forests in front of her, Master Xu was not afraid at all. After returning to Linzi City yesterday, she asked the shopkeeper of Xiaoshe in the city. But fortunately, if you keep walking along the road, there are many villages, big and small, in this high mountain and dense forest.

In the past, there were not so many villages in it, but later, when the Five Kingdoms conquered Qi, many people fled and hid in one after another.

gone for a long time.

Along the way, Master Xu finally met a passerby, who was a citizen of one of the villages. After questioning, the person didn't know who it was at first, but when he heard about an old woman, he quickly thought of Water Village, and then told Master Xu.

Seeing this, Master Xu took out some money from his pocket and asked the villager to lead the way.

Seeing Qian, the villagers glanced at the two followers next to Master Xu, and then nodded.

moment.

Under the leadership of the villagers, Master Xu came to the water village with two followers.

"Shou, now you are enjoying the blessings! No, there are fertile fields for cattle at home, and fertile fields for farming outside!"

"No, hey, by the way, Shou, can you find out about your younger brother?"

Under the shade of trees at the head of the water village, several old people living in the village looked at a man who was limping and walking with a walking stick.

While speaking, following Master Xu's appearance, everyone looked over curiously.

What a beautiful beauty~!

Seeing Master Xu's appearance, let alone those old people, even Shui Shou couldn't help but look over in surprise. Looking at the fair and beautiful Master Xu, Shui Shou knew at a glance that it must be a woman from the city.

Fortunately, Shui Shou's wife, Yun Han, was a rare beauty in the surrounding villages. After taking a look at her, she came back to her senses, lowered her head, and limped leading the old cow forward.

in the shade.

Master Xu, who was wearing Qi costume, followed the villagers who led the way. When he saw Shui Shou who was limping, he took a look and then continued to walk forward.

The road in the village is not too narrow. After walking a few steps just now, Master Xu saw a man with a vicissitudes of life and a beard, leading a woman and a girl walking by. Holding a child.

see.

Master Xu was a little puzzled, especially when looking at the middle-aged man, she always felt very strange, but Master Xu didn't understand why she felt this way. She had obviously never seen that middle-aged man, let alone been here. village.

"Girl, it's right in front!"

The villagers leading the way in front noticed that Master Xu was not moving forward, and when they saw her looking at the family, they said softly, and after Master Xu turned his head, he pointed to the yard ahead.

"okay!"

Upon hearing this, Master Xu nodded, recovered his senses, and stopped thinking about it.

Maybe I once stayed in Linzi, met that man when I was a child or when I was a child, that's why I feel so familiar.

Follow Master Xu to leave.

Under the shade of the trees at the entrance of the village, those elderly people looked at Xu Shi's leaving back and started discussing one after another.

"It looks like that woman should be the new elderly family member!"

"It should be! I didn't expect that old man who doesn't like to talk to others, there is such a junior in his family! Even if that woman is placed in Linzi City, I'm afraid it's not something that ordinary adults can have!"

"Yes, I have rarely seen such a beautiful woman!"

Several old people whispered.

And one of them looked at Yanfu and Shuishou.

"Are you going to the city to inquire about Yan again today?"

The old man looked at Yanfu and asked.

Looking at Yan's father, regarding the fact that Yan's father has reported to the government, not to mention their village, the villagers in other villages already know all about it. For the past few months, everyone has been talking about it with a smile in private. There are various guesses, but as each month passes, more and more people are saying that Shuiyan may not be able to come back!

If he could come back, he would have come back a long time ago, and now even the reporter can't find any news about Shui Yan.

"Yeah! Go ask!"

Hearing the old man's question, Yan's father nodded with a smile and said, but anyone could see that the honest Yan's father had a very stiff smile at this moment, and his expression was full of disappointment.

"Father, let's go!"

At this time, Shui Shou said to his father that he was limping and could only go to the place where the cows were grazing and wait for his father to come back.

The news about my younger brother can only be entrusted to my father to go to the city and ask the government again to see if he can find it.

"Ok!"

Yan's father nodded. He and his wife went to Linzi, and his wife went to Yanmata. The eldest son of Yanmata was going to get married in a few days, so he was going to help.

While speaking, Yanfu walked towards the outside of the village, and a man hurried past Yanfu and others.

On the other side, in a courtyard not far behind Yanfu, as the wooden door of the courtyard opened, Master Xu led two followers and followed the villagers into the courtyard.

in the yard.

Under a big tree, under a corner, there was an old man with gray hair who was at least over 50 years old, sharpening a sharp sword.

Seeing this scene, the two subordinates beside Master Xu shrank their pupils one after another, stepped forward to stand in front of Master Xu with vigilance, and stared at the old man firmly.

At this time, there was also the sound of the yard closing behind him.

The two subordinates were facing a formidable enemy, even Xu Shi looked at the old man, and then watched the villager who brought them here close the gate of the courtyard, not knowing that they were already in danger.

"who?"

Seeing the two men beside Master Xu, the old man said neither sad nor happy, but under the slightly messy long hair, one of the old eyes was actually blind, but the other eye was full of eyes. Capturing.

The old man was dressed in common clothes, holding a sharp sword in one hand, slowly got up, and approached Master Xu and the three of them step by step.

"It's the blind Feilen!!"

Among the two retinues beside Master Xu, one of the men saw the old man's blind eyes and the breathtaking feeling, and suddenly remembered the legends he had heard in the rivers and lakes before, and shouted with a pale face.

But what puzzled this subordinate was that, according to the legend, didn't the blind Fei Leng died long ago?Was hunted down by the enemy and fell into the valley.

Why are we meeting here now! ! !
"Felen?"

When the other servant heard this name, his face turned pale instantly. Before he became a guest of General Qin Baiyan's residence, he had been wandering around in the rivers and lakes, so he had naturally heard about Fei Len.

Fei Len is a rare great swordsman in the Jianghu!
Finished!

If at the beginning, the two subordinates still planned to protect Master Xu to leave with all their might, then when they learned that the old man in front of them was Fei Len who had disappeared for ten years, the two of them were filled with despair.

Not to mention Master Xu, I am afraid that both of them may not be able to leave this courtyard alive.

"Old sir, we have no malicious intentions, just seeing an old friend yesterday"

Master Xu also felt the despair of the two subordinates beside him, looked at the old gentleman, and said softly.

However, the old man didn't seem to hear her words, and he approached step by step with a sharp sword in his hand, and he was about to reach her.

Sudden.

There was a knock on the door in the yard, followed by a code word. The villager who had just led the way saw this and opened the gate. Then a man with a hurried expression approached the yard, and after a glance with the villager who opened the door, Walk past Master Xu and the others, and go to the old man Fei Len.

"My lord has something to say, don't kill me!"

The man cupped his hands at Fei Ling and said.

Hearing this, Fei Leng took a look at Xu Shi and the three of them, then turned around and went back, not wanting to kill the three of them anymore.

This scene made Master Xu and the other two subordinates heave a sigh of relief, but at this time the two subordinates realized that at some point, their foreheads and backs were covered with sweat.

In the gazes of the two followers, the man who saved them came to Master Xu and bowed his hands in salute to Master Xu.

"Miss Xu, please leave!"

The man said to Master Xu, and directly said Master Xu's name.

Master Xu thought for a while when he heard the words, and immediately understood that the young master in the man's mouth, if he didn't guess wrong, it was Tian Feiyan!
"Please tell me something for Master Xu. This time, Master Xu has done a lot! After returning, I will ask the gentleman to punish you!"

Master Xu said in a light voice.

After being discovered by Tian Feiyan, Master Xu naturally would not continue to investigate. She was also curious this time, so she decided to make the decision without authorization. She wanted to investigate clearly and go back to tell the general.

Fortunately, Tian Feiyan didn't blame her.

Thinking of this, Master Xu turned around and prepared to leave, but before leaving, Master Xu couldn't help but glance at the old man.

Regarding the subordinates sent by Bai Yan to protect her, Master Xu was aware of their strength, but that old man was able to scare the two of them like that, obviously the origin was not ordinary.

Such an old man is actually in this village!
After returning home, it's better to talk about this matter with the general, this village is really weird!
Two hours later.

In Linzi City.

In the Tianfu, a man came to the gazebo and walked up to Tian Feiyan.

"My lord, the person has already been taken away!"

The man raised his hand and reported to Tian Feiyan.

When Tian Feiyan heard the man's words, he looked away from the bamboo slip in his hand, raised his head slightly, and looked at the man.

"Watch her leave Qi!"

Tian Feiyan ordered softly.

Speaking of which, Tian Feiyan was also taken aback just now, but if it was found out that it was Master Xu a little later, and the news was later, Master Xu might already be a dead person at this moment.

Fei Lun is hers, her father didn't know about this matter, but she is very clear about Fei Len's strength, otherwise she would not let him go to the water village to live in seclusion. The teacher Bian Que who taught her medical skills once said The cause and effect of what happened to Feilen was explained in great detail.

Tian Feiyan knew it well, fortunately in time, otherwise Master Xu might really be a dead man.

As for the matter of that village, Tian Feiyan didn't want Master Xu to know. Although Master Xu was Bai Yan's maid, she didn't have much contact with Master Xu, and she still didn't trust Master Xu yet.

The people living in that village are his family members.

"Smoke!"

While Tian Feiyan was thinking, suddenly a man hurriedly came from a distance. The man was wearing the official uniform of Qi State, and he looked very anxious.

"Go down!"

Tian Feiyan watched his elder brother Tian Sui come over, and said to his followers.

"promise!"

The retinue nodded.

As soon as the retinue left, Tian Sui hurried to Tian Feiyan, knelt down and put his hands on the wooden table.

"Yan'er, how is it? Can someone help you with news about Xu Zixiao?"

Tian Sui looked at his younger sister Tian Feiyan with eyes full of expectation, with a flattering smile on his face.

Although his father Tian Ding had personally promised that if he had the opportunity, he would find a way to rescue Xu Zixiao, but Tian Ding was very anxious in his heart, fearing that Xu Zixiao would be killed.

That's why after seeing his father agree to take his younger sister to Qin, after much deliberation, he finally felt that a man should not care too much about small details, so Tian Sui secretly went to beg his younger sister Tian Feiyan at night.

My father has said that the power of the gentry in Yanmen has been cleared by Bai Yan, so it is very difficult to have a chance.

"Brother, don't worry! This trip has been asked clearly."

Tian Feiyan looked at Brother Zhong in front of him, then looked at Tian Cong, the elder brother who was following behind slowly, with a helpless expression on his face, and then looked at Brother Zhong Tian Sui's expectant eyes.

"Bai Yan said that Xu Zixiao was rescued on the way to Xianyang!"

Tian Feiyan said, and then continued to look at the bamboo slips in his hand.

"Really?"

When Tian Sui heard Tian Feiyan's words, his face was full of ecstasy, and he stood up and looked at Tian Cong in disbelief.

"Great!"

It has been a long time since the incident in Zhongmucheng, but the incident of Xu Zixiao's arrest, in Tian Sui's heart, has always been persistent, and it is hard to forget.

Now hearing what the little girl said, Tian Sui finally breathed a sigh of relief, not to mention how happy he was.

"It must be Xu! It must be, it must be"

Tian Sui said softly, in Tian Sui's eyes, probably only the Xu family has this possibility.

"But it's not necessarily true!"

Different from Tian Sui's ecstasy, after Tian Sui heard Tian Feiyan's words, he said something calmly, and instantly poured a bucket of cold water on Tian Sui.

"Don't forget, my father said in the letter before that Bai Yan probably already knew about Zhongmou City, but he didn't say anything about it!"

Tian Cong looked at Tian Sui.

When my father was in Luoyin City, he ordered someone to send a letter back to Linzi, in which he said that if there were no accidents, Qin Jiang Baiyan probably already knew about Tian Sui, but he just didn't say anything.

And the reason why Bai Yan told his younger sister Yan'er that Xu Zixiao had been rescued was probably to tell his father in a disguised form, asking Tian Sui and even Tianfu not to get involved in this matter.

"This!"

Tian Sui's complexion changed when he heard Tian Cong's words. After realizing it, he looked at his elder brother, and then at his younger sister.

Yanmen Shanwu City.

As the sunset entered the night, in a private room of Lu's Restaurant, with the messy jugs on the wooden tables and the plates of good food and meat, it was full of men's jokes.

The sound of guzheng under the dim light makes people feel wonderful and comfortable, and the charming voices of each woman are even more captivating.

Jing Qi and Zhao Wu still put down the wine bar, saw the chairman sitting on Bai Yan's drowsy appearance, the two couldn't help hiccupping, and cursed inwardly how could Bai Yan be so good at drinking.

A lot of people were called tonight, and it was hard to ask Bai Yan to come out. I wanted to get Bai Yan drunk and let him say something from his heart. I never wanted to drink until late at night, and Mi Jing had already fallen asleep on the woman's body , Bai Yandu was already on the verge of collapse, but he still didn't say what they wanted to hear.

"General Bai! General Bai!"

Suddenly, seeing Bai Yan laying straight on the wooden table, seeming to have fallen asleep, Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang couldn't help but want to scold their mothers.

But at the moment, the two of them are not much better. Whether it is Zhao Wushang or Jing Qi, they feel that their throats are strange, and their eyes begin to appear dizzy. Seeing that Mi Jing and other noble children are already drunk, the two of them no longer insist. Lie down at the wooden table.

In the dim light of candles.

When Cen Qing came in with other maids carrying fine wine, she saw that all of them had already fallen asleep.

Seeing this, Cen Qing asked the other women to notify the servants who were waiting outside the mansion, while she slowly came to the side of Bai Yan who was in charge, and looked at the sleeping Bai Yan.

Looking at the messy wooden table, Cen Qing knelt beside Bai Yan, and under the dim candle light, gently took away the jugs, bowls and chopsticks, as if she was afraid that the wine and the like would dirty Bai Yan.

Seeing the envious eyes of the other maids, Cen Qing knew that in their eyes, she was envious of her being able to get so close to the young man beside her.

But how do they know.

According to seniority, she is actually Bai Yan's cousin.

And it's a sister-in-law who once made a mistake and did something wrong to Bai Yan.

Looking at the sleeping Bai Yan, recalling what happened some time ago and the rumors of the past two days, Cen Qing looked a little dazed, recalling the words of the villagers, at this moment Cen Qing felt that the villagers were so ridiculous.

After a while.

Seeing that the servants had come to the private room one by one, taking away their respective families, and seeing three men in common clothes coming over, ready to help Bai Yan up, Cen Qing got up slowly after confirming her identity, and stood obediently. next to.

Also late at night.

In Xianyang City of Qin State, in the royal palace, Yingzheng was still dealing with affairs until late at night.

Today, after coming down to court, Yingzheng first discussed with many ministers about the affairs of the state of Chu, and then discussed who should go to the state of Wei as an envoy. When the king of Wei died of illness, the state of Qin would naturally send envoys to offer condolences. I met Li Si for a long time.

At this point, a bunch of business will be backlogged down.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, you should go to bed earlier!"

Outside the study, Princess Mi came in with a bowl of soup, then knelt down next to Yingzheng, and offered Yingzheng a drink of soup.

"It's hard for a widow to sleep!"

Ying Zheng shook his head when he heard Aifei's words.

Although he was only in his early thirties, exhaustion was written on Ying Zheng's face at this moment.

All important matters in all the counties and counties of Qin State need to be dealt with by Yingzheng, and Yingzheng must personally discuss with the ministers and make decisions on all changes.

"Your Majesty, is it about Yingchuan again?"

Concubine Mi looked at Yingzheng and listened to Yingzheng's words, but she didn't know what caused Yingzheng such a headache.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Yanmen!"

Suddenly, a palace guard hurriedly approached the study, knelt on the ground to compose the ceremony, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng and Princess Mi looked at the palace guard.

"Yanmen?"

Ying Zheng heard Gong Wei's words, his face was full of exhaustion, his brows were furrowed, recalling what Yang Duanhe had reported, and remembering that Bai Yan should have not yet arrived at Yanmen, a solemn look appeared on Ying Zheng's face.

Not caring about other things, even without waiting for the eunuch to get the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng got up, bypassed Princess Mi, walked quickly to the palace guard, took the bamboo slips, and hurriedly opened them to look.
