Qin Gong

outside the restaurant.

Bai Yan watched Wu hurriedly ran to the distant scholar boy, bowed his head and bowed his head, pointing to this side humbly, Bai Yan glanced at it, but didn't pay much attention to it.

The more experience he has, the more Bai Yan sees many things away, and he doesn't have the mentality of a teenager.

In the village, regarding the rumors about Wu, Bai Yan looked down on Wu from the bottom of his heart very early on, let alone being ashamed of his behavior. Yan has heard too much, but in the end, Bai Yan discovered a pattern.

People who laugh at people like Wu are basically unhappy, but those who act shamelessly like Wu can often turn around, whether it is life, family situation, or even status, all will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Bai Yan also laments the injustice of the world, because although Bai Yan lives in this world, in his bones, he still leans more towards the Confucianism of later generations.

Therefore, in the matter of men and women, it has always been viewed from the perspective of future generations.

Until with experience, Bai's marriage, Gou Ze's concubine, and his status getting higher and higher, Bai Yan gradually saw one thing clearly.

Everyone is thinking about climbing up. A person with background and status like Wu will deliberately want to climb up. An official with power and status like Gouze is also thinking about climbing up. Even in the past at the uncle's house, Villagers from several nearby villages took their daughters to the uncle's house and let Zilu choose, so why not.

In this world where a hundred schools of thought contend, look at Zilu's selling his wife, look at Pang Juan's murder of Sun Bin, look at the places that people can't see, the behavior of those famous families, which one is better than Wuwu? .

"Uncle Yu! Don't tell me your real name later, just say that I am a domestic servant, and the sons of the gentry can deal with it at will. If there is a chance, you can also take the opportunity to find out about Chu and Wei!"

When Bai Yan saw that Wu brought those noble children over, he turned to look at Bao Yu, raised his hand and said.

Although there is no need to deliberately hide in front of the fog, in Bai Yan's eyes, there is no need to show off in front of the fog. It is really an accident to meet people from his hometown in this foreign land amidst the crowds.

Chu State has not yet perished, Qin has not yet unified, Bai Yan still does not want outsiders to know that his hometown is in Shui Village.

"Ok!"

Typhoon glanced at the gentry disciples who came over, and nodded.

After a while.

Under the watchful eyes of Bai Yan and Bao Yu, Wu brought the four gentry children to come to Bao Yu and salute him.

"I am the Zhan family of Qi State, Zhan Zhao!"

"Mr. Cai, Cai Ru!"

Due to their age, the four gentry children did not despise Baoyu because of his attire. When they came to Baoyu, they took the lead in saluting and saying their names.

Except for that Zhan Zhao Bai Yan who had met in the village, the other Bai Yan had never even heard of their surnames.

"Hehe, everyone is very polite. I am Shen Bo of the Shen family. I passed by here today. I am lucky to meet you all!"

Bao Yu raised his hand to salute Zhan Zhao and Cai Ru.

It is said that reading can change a person's temperament. When he heard about Bai Yanyan's servant just now, Bao Yu knew that he needed some identity, so when he returned the gift, no matter what he said or said, or even the expression in his eyes, he revealed a seriousness. .

This immediately frightened the four playboys Zhan Zhao and Cai Ru. In the eyes of the four, even when facing their father, they didn't feel so oppressive.

Although the four of them are dudes, they are not fools, so they can naturally feel that Shen Bo's background is absolutely unusual, at least not as simple as it is in front of them.

Then look at the four subordinates next to Shen Bo, and even a servant who is equipped with a sword. This is a person with a proper background!

"Yes! Since we met by fate, we, as juniors, should prepare wine and have a banquet. I wonder if Uncle Shen will do me a favor and have a drink with us!"

Zhan Zhao was the first to react, saluted Bao Yu seriously, and after bending down, looked at Bao Yu expectantly.

Seeing this, the other three gentry disciples followed suit again and again.

For the four of them, they are all from Linzi, Qi State, and they are not short of money. Now that they have come here all the way, they are lucky enough to meet a mysterious Shen Bo. No matter what, the communication is still good.

When going out, knowing one more person is one more way. This is the reason that the elders in the clan told them when they were very young. It is also the biggest difference between them and ordinary people and farmers. They don't care about a table. Or a few tables of good food and wine, but more concerned about connections.

"Forget it! Since we are destined, let's have a drink together!"

Bao Yu looked at the four people, and after a few breaths of thought, he glanced at the four people, seemingly hesitant, but finally nodded, and then walked towards the restaurant under the leadership of the four people.

"I said Shui Yan, what is the origin of that Shen Bo you followed? It seems"

Wu looked at Bai Yan curiously and asked.

Just now, he could see the appearance of Zhan Zhao and other gentlemen clearly, especially when Zhan Zhao looked at him suspiciously, Wu naturally felt why, and Wu Wu was a little confused at the moment when he said it.

Why haven't I seen him for a few years? In his memory, the thin boy in Shuicun who was often talked about as a laughing stock turned out to be the servant of a big man.

"Don't dare to speak nonsense about the matter of the Patriarch!"

Bai Yan gave Mang them a look, telling them to follow Bao Yu in, he was not in danger with this person in front of him.

"That's true!"

Wu heard Bai Yan's words, nodded, and then laughed. Although Wu had laughed at Shui Yan before, even in person, but now that many years have passed, he has almost forgotten it. Seeing that Shui Yan has been confused In the early days, the mist seemed a little close.

After all, the two of them lived in almost the same place. In a village dozens of miles away from their hometown, there was no one better than him and Shui Yan living in a village.

"I didn't expect to meet you here today. How about we two have a good drink down there after I pay the money? Speaking of which, no one thought that you could live so well. If you go back in your body, It is estimated that everyone in the village will shut up and never laugh at you again."

While talking, Wu and Bai Yan walked towards the restaurant.

Seeing that Bai Yan didn't refuse, when he came to the restaurant, Wu asked Xiao Er to prepare a table of wine and two side dishes on the first floor.

Because it is in a restaurant, Wu knows the minds of Zhan Zhao's children, so he will order women to wait on him. It is also because of this that if there is something to do, let those women come down and order the two of them. The eyes of those children.

Led by Xiao Er, Wu and Bai Yan came to a side wooden table and knelt down.

"Aren't you in the country of Qi?"

After Bai Yan sat down on his knees, he looked around, then looked at the fog, and asked curiously, the conversation was a conversation, but Bai Yan also asked if there was any useful news, after all, in Bai Yan's impression, Zhan Zhao was like The sons of the gentry should enjoy themselves in Linzi, why did they suddenly come to the border of Yingchuan.

"Haven't come with them all the way!"

Wu shook his head, and said with a smile, although the words were complaining, but Wu's expression revealed a pride, after all, not everyone can have the opportunity to come to this kind of place to have a look at the delicious food and drink.

Seeing Bai Yan's puzzled look, Wu laughed, and seeing Xiao Er bring a jug of wine, she reached out to pick it up and poured a glass for herself and Bai Yan.

"Have you ever heard of the old man riding a bull in Qi State?"

Wu suddenly looked at Bai Yan mysteriously.

Holding the wine in both hands, Bai Yan made a toast to the fog.

"Are they looking for the old man?"

Bai Yan asked, then finished drinking the wine in his hand, put down the glass, picked up the jug and poured it on the mist.

"Yes and no!"

Having said that, Wu looked around and made sure no one was around.

"Aside from wanting to try their luck and find the old man, this time they are also looking for the famous Chuyue dog for King Wei!"

Fog whispered.

After finishing speaking, looking at Shui Yan's appearance, Wu explained that at first it was King Wei who succeeded Wei Guoxin, and in the Wei Mastiff Palace, which was very spectacularly arranged for his pet dog, for some unknown reason, a pet dog suddenly appeared a few months ago. He was sick and hadn't seen him for a long time, so King Wei ordered that anyone who could save his pet dog would be rewarded to Dr. Shangqing.

When the news spread to Qi State, Zhan Zhao and others became excited. After all, they did not lack money and status, but they lacked status.

After many inquiries, I finally heard that there seems to be herbal medicine on the Chuyue border to treat the sickness of pet dogs. When the local dogs are sick, they will eat those herbs, and finally recover.

In the process of inquiring, Zhan Zhao and others also heard rumors that there is a special kind of dog in Baiyue, which is extremely fierce and very rare. After that, he decided to start from Qi State and go to the Chuyue border to search.

While looking for herbs, you can also look for rare and famous dogs, and you can also look for the rumored old man riding a bull.

"Speaking of which, I met Zilu when I passed Xiacai!"

While talking, Wu suddenly remembered something and said to Bai Yan.

Shaking his head, he picked up the wine glass and had another drink with Bai Yan, then put down the wine glass with a comfortable look on his face.

"Xia Cai."

Bai Yan knew that Uncle and Zilu had gone to Chu, but he didn't know that they were in Xiacai.

"Yes, it is in Xiacai. If you have a chance, you can go to the city gate of Xiacai. Now Zilu has become a gatekeeper in Xiacai. No one would have thought that you are living better than Zilu! Now Zilu I probably don’t have the face to go back.”

As Wu talked, he laughed disdainfully.

When Wu mentioned Zilu, there was still some resentment in his words. After all, among his peers in several villages around him, few dared to ridicule him because of his eldest sister, but Zilu was an exception, because Zilu is a scholar, no matter in the eyes of the villagers or his peers, Zilu is a head taller than him. In secret, Zilu often laughs at him with others.

And what makes Wu even more worried is that the woman Wu wanted to get and marry the most was Cen Qing. Like other people of the same age, Wu liked Cen Qing since childhood, but no matter how he pursued Cen Qing Qing, in the end, couldn't resist Zilu's doing nothing, and Wu never forgot that day when he saw Cen Qing's parents take Cen Qing to go to Zilu's house with girls from other households.

Seeing that Zilu had become a doorman now, Wu couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart. What's more, it was too late when he learned that Zilu had sold Cen Qing in Linzi City.

"Now that Qin State has attacked Chu State, I don't know if Zilu will be dragged to the battlefield this time!"

Wu watched Xiao Er put a stack of small beans on the table, reached out to pick up one and put it in his mouth, and smiled gloatingly.

After finishing speaking, Wu suddenly realized that Zilu is Shuiyan's cousin. Although the relationship is not good, it shouldn't be said so directly.

"Qin Chu is not that easy to fight."

Bai Yan said softly.

Wu looked at Bai Yan with curiosity on his face, not understanding why Shui Yan was so determined.

"I have never had a chance to ask someone to send a letter back. If you go back this time, can you please send me a message for my father? Just say Yan, everything is fine!"

Bai Yan looked at Wu, then took out some coins from his pocket and placed them in front of Wu.

Not much money, not too little, just enough.

Too much, Bai Yan is not sure if Wu will have other thoughts, too little, if Wu is short of money, he will look down on him.

Since Tian Feiyan's bamboo slips were known to her father and King Qi, Bai Yan never sent bamboo slips there. Now that he meets Wu, he can ask Wu to help him out. After all, compared to other strangers, Wu said he has met He, father would still believe it.

"Okay! When I return to Linzi that day, I will go there. Speaking of which, I haven't been back to my hometown for a long time!"

Seeing Bai Yan's actions, Wu accepted Bai Yan's money without any hesitation.

The reason why he is so straightforward is that apart from seeing Bai Yan doing well, he also saw the adult who Bai Yan followed just now. After following Zhan Zhao for so long, Wu knows the importance of connections. Maybe he will ask Shui Yan for help in the future. .

Inside the restaurant.

Wu and Bai Yan chatted about a lot of things, in this foreign land, when they meet old friends, after a glass of wine, Wu is simply a chatterbox.

After getting drunk, Wu's eyes turned red, telling Bai Yan that she didn't regret her original choice, and told Bai Yan that since her eldest sister became Zhan Zhao's concubine, Wu could finally live in Linzi City with her parents, and her parents and elders could finally eat , the delicacy that had never been eaten in the village, with him and the eldest sister in the future, the parents finally don't need to work hard in the fields day and night, and can't afford a single piece of clothing all year round.

Behind the wooden table.

Bai Yan didn't refute Wu, nor did he agree, but listened to Wu as a spectator.

As a person in this world, Bai Yan can feel Wu's longing and understand Wu's intentions, but from the bottom of his heart, if Bai Yan is changed to Wu's identity, Bai Yan will still not be like Wu.

Bai Yan likes his good friend Xun Shuo very much and his ancestor Xunzi's philosophy that people are not born with morality, but only after they choose to be moral.

Everyone has their own choices.

As more than an hour passed, the drunken mist blushed and yelled in his mouth that he would go to Xia Cai in a few days. At this time, Bai Yan also saw that Bao Yu had already walked with Mang and others from the second floor. down.

Come to the cottage.

After putting down the package and other items, Bai Yan and Bao Yu waited for the news, while exchanging what they heard.

"With such a king of Wei, Wei is doomed to perish!"

Typhoon Yu said.

Although there were kings in South Korea who abandoned the government before, it is far inferior to King Wei's false rescue dog and the gift of Doctor Qing. Even Tyranny has never heard of such absurd things, and he can't believe it. Such things are still true.

A country's top minister, such a high position, can be given to anyone at will just because of a dog.

He even said frankly in front of all the officials of the Wei State that the army of the Qin State attacked the State of Wei, and the dogs in the Wei Mastiff Palace could defeat the army of the Qin State.

With such a country and such a king, Tyranny couldn't figure out why it wouldn't perish.

"My lord, a message from General Wang Ben!"

At this time, Mang brought a 30-year-old civilian man to the small house, and said to Bai Yan.

Following Mang's words, the clothed man stepped forward, bowed to Bai Yanji, and handed over his seal and wooden ID card.

"General Bai, the last general Gao Ze, under the order of General Wang Ben, commanded 500 people, and obeyed the general's orders!"

said the man.
