Qin Gong

Chapter 465

With the harvest of grains, the dark sky is not as clear as it used to be. Looking from the bottom up, it seems like a shallow ink has eroded one piece after another.

It is going to rain!

Every farmer in the field saw the sky and moved their hands harder, thinking that all the grains could be harvested before the rain, otherwise the harvest would be less when the rain stopped at this time.

Women, children, old and weak are also helping. Many children in the field are holding some broken and notched leaves of big trees. Grains of millet.

Every time he finds a grain, the child will carefully pick it up, put it in the leaves in his arms, look at the pile of rice millet that is not as big as half a fist, and get up and hand it to his mother.

far away.

Many farmers who were busy in the fields suddenly saw white birds flying up, looked curiously, and then saw a carriage driving slowly on the official road.

Daqinxi.

Under the shade of the trees next to the dense forest, Bai Yan was wearing a bamboo hat and was fishing by the river. I don't know if the fish knew that the winter was coming, or what. After a day, Bai Yan had a good harvest.

Since Bao Yu followed Shen Lao to the south of Chu State, on the other side, Bao Yu's uncle Bao Yuan took more than 300 gathered knights and went to Xinzheng one by one.

In the absence of trifles, Bai Yan has been very free these few days.

"General, the carriage is coming!"

Zhang Liang suddenly walked to Bai Yan's side, and looked at the distant mountains and forests, under the dense green forest, a carriage was slowly driving on the official road, and there were six men holding swords on both sides.

Bai Yan heard Zhang Liang's words and took a look from afar.

"Go! Be careful!"

Bai Yan ordered.

Zhang Liang nodded, turned and walked towards the official road.

soon.

As the carriage approached slowly, the six sword-wielding men beside the carriage saw Zhang Liang blocking the road, and they all had swords, so they hurried forward.

"who?"

The leading man looked at Zhang Liang and asked.

The rest of the men looked at Zhang Liang vigilantly, and then looked around. This man was not in the village or in the back, and suddenly someone blocked the way. Thinking about it makes people suspicious.

"At the command of my lord, come to meet me!"

When Zhang Liang heard the man's question, he said calmly, and raised his hand while speaking.

Following Zhang Liang's movements, in an instant, men with swords walked out of the quiet dense forest around the carriage and surrounded the carriage from all directions.

"Watch out!!"

"Protect adults!!"

Seeing this scene, the pupils of the six men suddenly shrank, and they looked around palely, their eyes full of panic.

The six people who originally surrounded Zhang Liang were now surrounded together with the carriage.

The curtain on the carriage was slowly lifted, and a man emerged from the carriage. He stepped out and stood on the carriage. The man was in his 30s, and looked around with a solemn expression.

"I don't know where all of you are knights. Bi thinks he has never offended any lord. I don't know why you are here today?"

The man surnamed Bi said softly, took a breath, and sighed.

"If you are asking for money, there is still a few gold in the car, which can be taken by you. If it is not enough, please open your mouth, and I can order my servant to bring it!"

After the man surnamed Bi looked around again, he finally set his eyes on Zhang Liang's face and asked.

In the eyes of this man, if he is looking for money, he can use it to eliminate disasters, and he just asks that the people in front of him can let them go.

"It's not you!"

When Zhang Liang heard what the man surnamed Bi said, his gaze remained calm.

This made the man's complexion more serious, because the man clearly saw that when it came to money, almost none of them hesitated, whether it was the leading man or anyone else.

The man has realized that these people are not ordinary people, and the purpose of coming here is not for money.

"I don't know."

The man surnamed Bi was about to ask, but before he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Liang pointing to the carriage.

"I want the people in the carriage, tell everyone in the carriage to come down!"

While Zhang Liang was speaking, he put one hand on the hilt of the sword and slowly pulled out the sharp blade hidden in the scabbard. Zhang Liang, who was holding the sharp sword, looked at the carriage in front of him. He had fought the Huns many times, and he was confident enough. Stop this carriage.

"The carriage is full of my wife, children, old and young~! Look forward to it."

The man still wanted to speak, but as the other men around him drew out their swords one after another, the man's breathing became short of breath and his eyes were flustered.

At this time, the carriage curtain behind the man was lifted again, and another man slowly came out from inside.

"Brother Li, they are looking for me! Brother Li, don't need to talk to them anymore!"

Tian Xian looked at the people around him, although his expression was a bit sloppy, but Tian Xian's eyes were full of dignity, constantly looking for a chance to fight out.

"Tian Xian can leave with everyone. I don't know whether Tian Xian is dead or alive this time. If he is alive, please don't embarrass my brother!"

Under Bi Li's worried gaze, Tian Xian jumped off the carriage, walked towards Zhang Liang, and asked questions as he walked.

Zhang Liang was a little surprised to see Tian Xian who was able to maintain his demeanor even though he knew the target was him and didn't know if he was doomed.

Although it was the first time he met Tian Xian, Zhang Liang couldn't help admiring such a person, he was not surprised when things happened, like a general, such a person was born to do great things!

Faced with Tian Xian's question, Zhang Liang didn't answer. Watching Tian Xian come over, Zhang Liang held a sword in his hand, and slowly saluted Tian Xian to show respect.

After the ceremony.

"Please Tian Junzi come with me!"

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the river.

Seeing this, Tian Xian looked surprised, turned his head, and looked back at Bi Li on the carriage, Bi Li also showed surprise.

After Tian Xian gave Bi Li a reassuring look, he turned around and followed Zhang Liang.

After walking for a while, I came to the riverside.

Tian Xian just saw a man wearing a bamboo hat, sitting under a tree by the river and fishing.

"General! Someone brought it?"

Zhang Liang raised his hand to Bai Yan and saluted.

When Tian Xian heard Zhang Liang's title, his eyes were full of doubts under his frown.

General?

In Yingchuan, there are very few people who can become generals, and there are even fewer people near the county town of Yangshuo. Whoever knows their itinerary and who they are will look for him.

And the back of this man wearing a bamboo hat, how familiar is it, General! ! !
Bai Yan?

Thinking of this thought, Tian Xian shook his head instinctively. Now Bai Yan is in Yanmen. He has just experienced a great battle and defeated the Huns. How could he be here? Moreover, Ying Zheng promoted Bai Yan to the title and rewarded Bai Yan with the famous sword Zhanlu The news has already spread to Chu State.

There's no way this could be wrong!
Therefore, if there is no accident at this moment, Bai Yan should be in Yanmen in the north, how could he come here, and not only knew that he would come to Yingchuan, but also looked for him halfway.

"it is good!"

Under Tian Xian's gaze, the man wearing the hat suddenly spoke, and the familiar voice came into Tian Xian's ears, and Tian Xian's eyes widened in an instant.

Tian Xian will never remember this familiar voice.

This.
Bai Yan! ! ! !
When Tian Xian saw the young man in the bamboo hat turn around with his own eyes, he was stunned and looked at Bai Yan dully.

"Go and see those people!"

Bai Yan gave instructions to Zhang Liang.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang raised his hand and nodded, then turned and left.

At this moment, Bai Yan turned his gaze to Tian Xian who was already dumbfounded.

"Brother Tian Xian, long time no see!"

Bai Yan slowly raised his hand to salute Tian Xian.

Tian Xian, who was completely stunned, saw Bai Yan's actions, and after a few breaths, he gradually came back to his senses. When he looked at Bai Yan who was compiling the ceremony, Tian Xian swallowed, and even wondered if he was dazzled.

"Brother Yan!"

Tian Xian raised his hand in return, and looked at Bai Yan with an absurd expression.

Tian Xian couldn't understand why Bai Yan was here. He knew that Yan just won a big victory in Yanmen, and even Ying Zheng rewarded him with the famous sword Zhanlu. Bai Yan, who should be enjoying himself, why is he here at this moment? In a desolate and uninhabited place, I still know that he is coming to Yingchuan.

"Brother Yan, this is it?"

After Tian Xian returned the gift, he couldn't help looking at Bai Yan suspiciously.

Looking at Tian Xian's appearance, Bai Yan guessed Tian Xian's doubts, so he didn't go around much.

"Don't go to Yangzhao, Yangzhao is a trap. The Yingchuan gentry wants to plot turmoil in an attempt to help South Korea. This time, they led Tian Xianxiong to draw Qi into the game."

Bai Yan said to Tian Xian, while speaking, following the movement from the side, Bai Yan saw that a fish had already bit the hook, and the whole fishing rod had been dragged into the water, slowly walking away.

When he turned his head to look at Tian Xian, he saw Tian Xian who was frowning and contemplative.

"Qi Wuji was in Zhongmou City back then, and seven or eight out of ten had already died. If he comes back again, he won't be able to hide himself from the future."

Ordinary people looking at Tian Xian with a pensive face would think that Tian Xian was doubting the truth of what he said, but Bai Yan knew that Tian Xian was hesitating.

Under the shade of the tree, following Bai Yan's words, Tian Xian, who was originally in deep thought, suddenly looked at Bai Yan in shock.

really!

Back then in Zhongmou City, it was Bai Yan who deliberately let Zhong's brother Tian Sui go.

Recalling when I first met my father, what my father said and the guesses in his heart have been uncertain for a long time. Until now, Tian Xianfang was really sure that Brother Zhong could return to Qi State safely and unharmed, and the matter of Qi Wushu also happened. It seems to be concealed, but the real reason is really Bai Yan.

"Is it because of the smoke?"

Tian Xian looked at Bai Yan, thinking about it, this was the only reason Tian Xian could think of.

You know, at that time, apart from assassinating Ying Zheng, Brother Zhong also wanted to get rid of Bai Yan, but Bai Yan let Brother Zhong go.

"Ok!"

Bai Yan nodded without hiding anything.

Seeing Bai Yan who admitted, Tian Xian suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and looked at the boy in front of him.

"What's so good about Yan'er, that it can make you miss it so much, and even do something for it. Logically, with your status and reputation, Brother Yan, it's easy to want any kind of woman. If you want to send a beauty to you The number of Brother Yan's people is estimated to be uncountable."

Tian Xianman asked curiously, looking straight at Bai Yan.

Speaking of Yan'er, Tian Xian also admitted that there are many suitors for Yan'er, including princes and grandchildren. Before that, he was Prince Dan, and they all dreamed of Yan'er, but he clearly felt that Bai Yan should not be that kind of talent.

How many times did Bai Yan meet Yan'er before the Zhongmou City Rebellion happened?If he remembers correctly, there seems to be only one time.

"Bai Yan owes Miss Tian a favor!"

When Bai Yan heard Tian Xian's words, he shook his head and said, then he didn't want to say any more.

However, Tian Xian is different. If he was dumbfounded at the beginning and couldn't understand it, then his eyes lit up when he heard what Bai Yan said later, and he became more curious. He decided in his heart that he would find a chance to ask Xiao Sister, find out what kind of favor is it that makes Bai Yan remember it in his heart.

"This time, those gentry just want to win brother Tian Xian into the game. It's okay if they agree, but if they don't agree, Brother Tian Xian's life may not be guaranteed! Only two days ago did Bai Yan know that Cui Ping, the prefect of Yingchuan County, had also died. Betray Qin!"

Bai Yan said to Tian Xian.

"Bai Yan knows that Uncle Tian doesn't like Qin, but Yingchuan, it's a game! A game that must be lost! Dissatisfied with Brother Tian Xian, Bai Yan has been unable to find out who is Xianyang Dark Chess from the beginning to the end! "

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he sighed, everything that should be said has been said, anyway, Tian Xian can't go to Yangtang, and it may be difficult to get out alive.

"The Bureau!"

When Tian Xian heard Bai Yan's words and heard Bai Yan mentioning "Dark Chess", Tian Xian frowned instantly. Tian Xian couldn't tell that the Yingchuan Rebellion had been under the control of Qin State Xianyang from the very beginning.

Thinking of this, Tian Xian smiled wryly, fortunately he planned to visit Yingchuan, fortunately.
No, Bai Yan just said that he doesn't know who the dark chess is, that is to say, Bai Yan didn't participate in it.

Thinking of this, Tian Xian seemed to think of something, and looked at Bai Yan in a daze.

"Brother Yan is here for Tian Xian?"

Tian Xian hesitated and asked in a low voice.

"No one else!"

Bai Yan glanced around, then looked at Tian Xian, and gave Tian Xian a look of 'take a look around'.

"Tian Xian, thank you Brother Yan!"

Although Tian Xian expressed his frivolity, looking at Bai Yan right now, it would be false to say that he was not moved, and the same is true. Tian Xian rarely showed a serious face, and bowed down to Bai Yan very seriously.

Not to mention that Tian Xian has been to Qin State, but he has never been there. Now that force is no longer observing Bai Yan, nor is it observing Bai Yan's political opponents in Qin State. It is difficult to deal with Bai Yan on the battlefield, but in the court, even if Not in the same temple, but that doesn't prevent being secretly allies.

Bai Yan is powerful in leading the army, but in Chu State, many forces have already thought about letting Bai Yan repeat Bai Qi's fate.

Therefore, Tian Xian is naturally aware of the quarrel between Bai Yan and Cui Ping, which also makes Tian Xian more aware of what it means for Bai Yan to be here.

"No need!"

Standing under the shade of the tree, Bai Yan raised his hand in return.

While continuing to talk with Bai Yan and Tian Xian, suddenly the sound of horseshoes came from a distance, and a hurried man came towards Bai Yan.

Seeing this, Bai Yan exchanged a glance with Tian Xian, with a vague premonition.

Could it be that there was already a riot, or something happened.

"General! It's not good. Suddenly, a large Qin army arrived at Yangshuo, and then took control of Yangshuo City. At this moment, the gate and the top of the city are all guarded by soldiers from the Qin army!"

The confidant, dressed in civilian clothes, got off his horse and came to Bai Yan to report.

Hear the words of your cronies.

Both Bai Yan and Tian Xian looked surprised.

Qin soldiers?

"Xianyang ordered to do it?"

Tian Xian looked at Bai Yan with some doubts.

Bai Yan shook his head.

"Impossible. I've heard about Cui Ping's rebellion before. How many people from the gentry in Xinzheng know about it. The dark chess arranged by Xianyang can incite rebellion. It's impossible not to know the position and ability. But now Cui Ping Didn't even make a move, Xianyang did it rashly, it's not at all."

When Bai Yan thought about it, he was full of puzzlement. While talking, he suddenly thought of something, and his pupils froze.

Tian Xian, like Bai Yan, thought of something, looked at Bai Yan in horror, and got goosebumps all over his body.

Recall that Bai Yan said just now that there is no way to find out who Dark Chess is.

"Cui Ping is a dark chess game!"

Tian Xian looked at Bai Yan and said word by word.

Bai Yan nodded, and finally understood why it was impossible to find out who the dark chess was, who was instigating the rebellion, and who had never escaped Xianyang's control from the beginning to the end.

It turned out that the person was not someone else, but Cui Ping, who had been regarded as one of Yingchuan's nobles.

Because from the very beginning, Bai Yan knew that the Yingchuan rebellion was a game, so Bai Yan always knew that there was Yingchuan and Xianyang's dark chess, but the rebellious gentry in Yingchuan didn't know that Cui Ping had already betrayed Qin in the eyes of those gentry , betrayed Ying Zheng.

Although it is not clear how Cui Ping won the trust of those gentry, I am afraid Yingzheng knows everything about it.

Thinking of this, Bai Yan finally understood how deep the layout of Xianyang was.

The gentry in Yingchuan had no chance of success at all.

"Hidden so deep!"

Bai Yan sighed, a little bit emotional about the identity of Cui Ping's double agent, looked at Tian Xian, and found that Tian Xian's expression at the moment was also shocked.

But right now, after learning that Cui Ping is a dark chess player, Bai Yan suddenly thought of Bao Shi.

Bai Yan knew that if there were no accidents, everyone in the Bao family would have been arrested.

Thinking of the promise to Bao Yu.

A few days later, Nanyang County.

In the county guard's mansion, the former general, now the county guard Teng Lao, is handling Nanyang affairs in the mansion.

The autumn harvest is the busiest time of the year. As a county guard, there are many things to deal with, and many taxes need to be watched. Beware that someone below will take the opportunity to collect money.

Suddenly a servant came to the study in a hurry.

"Sheriff, is there someone asking to see him? No name was mentioned, only a token."

The servant reported to Old Teng.

Hearing this, Elder Teng raised his head and looked at the servant in surprise, with a puzzled look in his eyes. Generally speaking, very few people don't keep their names and only give tokens.

But seeing the token handed over by the servant, Elder Teng still stretched out his hand to take it.

After opening the wrapping cloth and seeing the bamboo slips inside, Mr. Teng was very surprised at first, then slowly opened it to look.

After seeing the content above and confirming the seal was correct, Old Teng couldn't help laughing on his old face.

"You bastard Bai Yan! You actually asked this old man!"

Old Teng shook his head, dumbfounded.

However, Old Teng is naturally aware of the relationship between Cui Yan, the magistrate of Yingchuan County, and Bai Yan. Looking at the letter, he has already said everything about Yingchuan in simple terms, including the mention of the Tyrant Mansion. Hesitating, he reached out from the wooden table beside him, took a roll of blank bamboo slips, spread it out, wrote the content on it, and stamped the seal after finishing writing.

"Order people to send it to Yingchuan Yangzheng and hand it over to Cui Junshou!"

Elder Teng instructed his servant.

Elder Teng also understood that if Bai Yan sent a letter to Xianyang, it would be too late. Anyway, Bai Yan would write a letter to Xianyang about the Tyrant Mansion's affairs, and here he would first save the lives of the Tyrant Mansion clan.

"promise!"

The servant took the bamboo slips with both hands, turned and left the study.

After the study room became quiet again, Elder Teng looked at the bamboo slips on the wooden table in front of him, shook his head slowly, and remembered the thin boy who followed Bai Yu back then.

For a moment, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart.

Calculating the time, I haven't seen each other for more than two years or nearly three years.

However, what made Elder Teng still somewhat puzzled was that, looking at the content above, he calculated the time when Bai Yan's cronies came here.

While thinking, Elder Teng suddenly came to his senses.

"That kid is actually in Yingchuan County right now!"
