A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

It's clear that Ningyan has indeed changed a lot during this period.

After walking for about ten miles, Bai Yuan and the others finally saw the small village that Xuan Jian had mentioned to them before.

Looking into the distance, they spotted a couple selling alcohol at the village entrance, sitting by the roadside watching passersby, their business seemingly not doing very well.

Bai Yuan and Wuming exchanged knowing smiles.

If I'm not mistaken, these two should be Xuan Jian and Wei Qianqian. However, judging from their current attire as ordinary villagers, if they hadn't agreed on a secret code when they parted, it would have been difficult for them to tell them apart.

The carriage slowly came to a stop at the village entrance. Bai Yuan stepped down from the carriage alone, glanced at Xuan Jian and his companion who were disguised as a wine-selling couple, and couldn't help but smile to himself.

Neither of them recognized him.

He pretended to be a customer who wanted to buy wine, looked at the wine jars on the ground, casually lifted one open and smelled it, a faint aroma of wine wafted out.

At this moment, Xuan Jian was also carefully observing Bai Yuan, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. He had been looking forward to this many times in the past two days.

Seeing their expressions, Bai Yuan stopped teasing them and quickly gave them the secret signal.

How much is your wine?

Xuan Jian then introduced, "This is Imperial Jade Liquor."

After he finished speaking, he waited for Bai Yuan's reaction.

Chapter 43 Is it too late to regret it now?

"Oh, it's 180 yuan a cup!"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan respond to the code, Wei Qianqian excitedly grabbed Xuan Jian's hand.

Xuan Jian was also very happy, but he was unsure of Bai Yuan's identity, so he asked, "Who are you?"

"It's me. I didn't expect you to be dressed like this. I didn't recognize you at first glance."

Bai Yuan chuckled and nodded, then took a deep breath and deliberately spoke to them in the voice of an Assassin.

Hearing that familiar voice, Xuan Jian was now completely certain of Bai Yuan's identity: "So it was you! You look so different from before!"

At this moment, he understood that Bai Yuan was the Assassin who had saved them that day.

No wonder they dared to be so brazen, rescuing him in front of so many Wei soldiers and then returning to Daliang.

It wasn't just because the two were incredibly strong, but more so because they had disguised themselves beforehand and weren't afraid of being wanted by the authorities.

After all, Assassin and Bai Yuan are so different in appearance and temperament that it is impossible to mistake them for the same person at a glance.

Having confirmed Bai Yuan's identity, Xuan Jian and Wei Qianqian glanced at the carriage beside them, then looked at Bai Yuan, their eyes filled with burning anticipation.

"The child is in the car."

Bai Yuan nodded, confirming their guess.

Wei Qianqian rushed forward to check, and when she lifted the curtain, she saw the child Ningyan was holding. She immediately covered her mouth and burst into tears.

Xuan Jian stepped forward and patted Wei Qianqian's shoulder to comfort her. The joy of the family reunion made his nose feel a little sore, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's go into the village first!"

Xuan Jian and his companion didn't even bother with the wine jars, and led Bai Yuan and the others into the village.

Soon they arrived at the front of an inconspicuous house.

The house doesn't look very big, but it has a very homey feel to it.

Leading the group into the house, Wei Qianqian took the child from Ningyan and led him to the room to rest.

Xuan Jian, on the other hand, entertained Bai Yuan and the others in the outer room.

"The environment here is simple; we can only offer you tea."

"It's alright, no need to be so polite."

Bai Yuan and the others weren't pampered noble children, so they waved to Xuan Jian, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.

"I never expected that you were the ones who came to help us that night. May I ask your names?"

Xuan Jian clearly already knew that Assassin was not his real name, but just an alias used to deceive everyone.

"Tianzong Baiyuan (Confucian Anonymous)!"

Bai Yuan and Wuming no longer concealed their identities and introduced themselves.

"I've remembered it. Although I don't know why you two helped me, I will keep this kindness in my heart. If you ever need anything in the future, please feel free to come to me!"

Xuan Jian carefully memorized the two names and then made a promise.

"Let's put aside the matter of repaying the debt of gratitude for now. What are your plans for the future?"

Bai Yuan skipped over that topic and brought up the most crucial matter at hand.

Xuan Jian was silent for a moment, then said, "I plan to take Qianqian south to the State of Chu. I happen to have a friend there."

"Go to the State of Chu?" Bai Yuan frowned slightly. "I think it's better to go to the State of Qi than to go to Chu."

"for

what? "

These words raised some questions in both Xuan Jian and Wuming.

Bai Yuan had no choice but to analyze the situation with them.

"Nowadays, the six states of Qin, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei are constantly at war. Today you fight me, tomorrow I fight you. Qin, in particular, has been attacking other states one after another in recent years, and its momentum is like that of a tiger and a wolf. Under such circumstances, the people of the six states are not living in peace. Only Qi is different."

"On the one hand, since King Jian of Qi ascended the throne, the country of Qi has been stable thanks to the support of the Queen Dowager and Queen Consort. On the other hand, because Qin adopted a strategy of befriending distant states and attacking nearby ones, the other five states were busy saving themselves under the threat of Qin. Therefore, Qi did not have any external troubles in a short period of time, and thus became the most stable country among the seven states."

These are conclusions drawn by Bai Yuan based on his analysis of historical materials from later generations.

If nothing unexpected happens, the State of Qi will not experience any war during the more than forty years that King Jian of Qi reigns.

In other words, the State of Qi will not be affected by war for at least the next twenty years, so the people of Qi can naturally live in peace and prosperity to a certain extent.

After hearing this analysis, Xuan Jian and the others fell silent.

Because what Bai Yuan said was true. Since King Jian of Qi ascended the throne, more than ten or twenty years have passed, and the State of Qi has really not experienced any war. In this era of war and chaos, it seems too fortunate!

For those who want to escape conflict, going to the State of Qi is indeed better than going to other countries.

Xuan Jian was clearly somewhat tempted by Bai Yuan's words, and silently considered the pros and cons.

"This is just a suggestion; ultimately, it's up to you to decide."

Xuan Jian nodded slightly, then asked, "Where are you headed this time?"

"We are planning to go to Xiaoshengxianzhuang in Sanghai, Qi State."

Bai Yuan replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Jian's eyes lit up, and he immediately made up his mind.

"So you're also going to the State of Qi? That's perfect, we can travel together!"

Bai Yuan and Wuming exchanged a glance.

"I have no problem with competitors, but have you made up your mind already?"

"I believe what you say. Qi is indeed a good place. Please wait here for a moment while I go and discuss it with Qianqian."

Xuan Jian showed great trust in Bai Yuan. After he finished speaking, he went into the inner room to find Wei Qianqian.

Seeing Xuan Jian leave in a hurry, Bai Yuan and Wuming couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, Lu asked curiously, "Brother Bai Yuan, how do you know so much about these things?"

Upon hearing this question, both Wuming and Ningyan showed expressions of curiosity.

Wuming and Lu were curious because they knew that Bai Yuan had never left Taiyi Mountain.

Ningyan was simply curious about Bai Yuan.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, Bai Yuan simply patted Lu's head gently and replied with a smile, "It's simple, just read more books!"

His perfunctory answer naturally failed to gain the approval of the others.

However, they did not investigate the matter further.

After sitting there for a while, Xuan Jian and Wei Qianqian came out from the inner room.

"We've already discussed it and decided to go to the State of Qi. We'd like to travel with you all so we can look out for each other on the way!"

Xuan Jian told them the results of their discussion.

Bai Yuan and the others were not surprised.

"Traveling together is no problem at all. You pack your things and we can set off."

"We don't have much to pack, so we can leave now."

Xuan Jian held Wei Qianqian's hand tightly and looked at her affectionately as he spoke.

In his view, as long as he had Wei Qianqian and the child, that was enough; nothing else mattered.

Feeling Xuan Jian's gentle gaze, Wei Qianqian responded in kind. The two gazed at each other with deep affection, and the atmosphere became sweet. Bai Yuan felt as if he had been hit by a bombshell from the two of them.

"Cough cough!"

Unable to stand by and watch, he became the villain and interrupted the two of them while they were casting a spell.

Having been unexpectedly fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), Bai Yuan was already beginning to regret agreeing to let the two of them travel together.

Chapter 44 This damn desire to win

After joining Xuan Jian and his wife, they once again embarked on the journey to Xiaoshengxianzhuang in Sanghai.

With two more people added, the interior of the carriage was no longer as spacious as before.

Wei Qianqian held the child in her arms, while Xuan Jian sat beside her, looking at her and the child tenderly.

The two exuded an aura of affection at all times.

Now, with the help of Bai Yuan and others, Xuan Jian and Wei Qianqian have escaped Wei Yong's control and are filled with hope for the future.
