Just because of the smiles on these people's faces, Bai Yuan felt that it was worth it for him to stay here for so many days.

When they passed the border, they were allowed to pass smoothly after some simple inspections.

Not long after leaving the territory of Han, they encountered a group of Qin scouts.

"May I ask if this is the convoy of Master Bai Yuan from the Taoist Tian Sect?"

Among the soldiers, a soldier who seemed to be the commander asked from a distance, his attitude seemed somewhat respectful.

Bai Yuan walked out of the carriage and glanced at the soldiers.

"it's me."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan admit his identity, the soldiers quickly dismounted and half-knelt on the ground.

"We have been waiting for you here for a long time under the order of General Wang Xi!"

Bai Yuan was slightly stunned, then he remembered that Li Si had said before that Wang Xi, under the order of Ying Zheng, led an army of 100,000 to meet him at the border.

He originally thought that Li Si was just trying to scare Ji Wuye, but now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Bai Yuan didn't think much about it.

"Where is General Wang Xi?"

"The general is in the camp right now."

"Lead the way!"

Bai Yuan nodded slightly.

He also wanted to meet Wang Xi.

This man was also a fierce general of the Qin Dynasty. He once served as Bai Qi's deputy general and was promoted to the position of Zuo Shuchang.

Bai Yuan's deepest impression of him was that in the original novel, this man colluded with Luo Wang and intended to rebel because of Bai Qi's unjust death.

Now that the trap has been cleared, King Ying Zheng of Qin has taken power several years earlier, and Wang Qi no longer has the conditions to rebel.

But it is hard to say whether this person still has the mentality of rebellion.

The files of Senluo Prison also recorded evidence of Wang Xi's collusion with Luowang.

Wang Xi had suffered several defeats, but afterwards his official position was promoted instead of demoted. It was obvious that Luo Wang was behind this.

And in the records of Luowang files, there are many examples similar to Wang Xi.

After Bai Yuan took over Luowang and recast it into Dark River, these files were sealed up and Dark River never contacted these people again.

After all, Bai Yuan didn't like playing power games, and he had never wanted to get involved in power struggles in the court.

As long as others don't affect him.

Following this team of scouts, they soon arrived at Wusui’s camp.

The atmosphere in the military camp has always been solemn and serious.

There were many soldiers guarding the entrance to the camp.

Before everyone entered the barracks, they could hear the sound of soldiers training inside.

The person in charge of training the soldiers was not Wang Xi, but a younger figure.

Meng Tian, ​​son of Meng Wu of the Meng family.

Meng Tian was leading his soldiers in training when he caught a glimpse of a group of soldiers coming in from outside the camp with Bai Yuan and others. There were quite a few of them, and except Bai Yuan, all of them were women, so he became a little curious.

The military camp is a restricted area and ordinary people are not allowed to enter or leave at will, let alone women.

However, when he saw the attire of these people, Meng Tian quickly reacted and guessed their identities, and his eyes changed slightly.

Bai Yuan glanced at Meng Tian from a distance, smiled at him and nodded slightly.

Meng Tian looks a little immature now, and does not have the aura of commanding an army that he will have later. However, his youthful heroism cannot be concealed, and he already has the style of a tiger general.

I can only say that he is worthy of being a son of a general.

His grandfather Meng Ao and father Meng Wu were both military generals with high prestige. Among them, Meng Ao was one of the three most powerful generals in Ying Zheng's hands, along with Wang Xi and Biao Gong.

Although Wang Jian was also highly regarded at this time for his contribution in suppressing the rebellion in Xianyang, he had not yet had the opportunity to demonstrate his true strength.

Meng Tian saw Bai Yuan nodding to him, and seemed to have a good impression of him.

He paused, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not chase after him.

Now that he is serving in the army, he should focus on military affairs.

Bai Yuan didn't bother with him either.

As the scouts arrived at the central army camp, Wang Xi personally walked out of the tent with a team of personal guards to greet them.

"I just learned that the master was coming. I am sorry that I was unable to greet you from afar!"

Wang Xi was wearing armor, with a restrained murderous aura.

Bai Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly: "The general is stationed here by the king's order, and there are many things to do. I am just an idler, why should I come to meet you from afar?"

Wang Xi smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

"Master, please come in, let's sit down and talk."

When he arrived at the tent, Wang Xi had already prepared some food.

"Alcohol is prohibited in the army, and the food is not as good as outside. Please forgive me, Master."

Bai Yuan nodded gently: "I heard from Li Si that it was the King of Qin who ordered you to pick me up?"

Wang Xi smiled brightly.

"Yes and no. The king sent me to lead the troops to station in Wusui. In addition to welcoming you, the more important thing is to let me cooperate with Lord Li Si's plan."

Bai Yuan understood after hearing this.

He knew that Ying Zheng would not really take it so lightly and mobilize such a large army just to welcome him.

I think the real purpose of these people should be to make Li Si's life in Korea smoother, and it is not ruled out that Ying Zheng really wanted to take the opportunity to attack Korea.

Bai Yuan shook his head slightly and stopped asking any more questions.

Chapter 413 It’s not too late to stop

After a conversation with Wang Xi, Bai Yuan had some understanding of him.

Judging from Wang Xi's current situation, he should still be loyal to the Qin Dynasty. He has no rebellious intentions, or even if he has, he dares not to show any.

At night, Wang Xi arranged several military tents for Bai Yuan and others to rest.

He deliberately turned down some military duties and had a sumptuous dinner prepared. He even made an exception and got some good wine in the military camp, which had always banned alcohol, to entertain Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan was the only one who attended the dinner. As women, Ning Yan and the others could not move around in the military camp, and they had no interest in this banquet.

Inside the tent, Wang Xi and Bai Yuan raised their glasses and drank from each other, as if they were good friends who had known each other for many years.

"Speaking of which, I was previously serving in Shangjun, and the master helped me a lot at that time."

While drinking, Wang Xi started to build a relationship with Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan thought about it carefully and realized something belatedly: "Could it be that the general is talking about the wolf tribe?"

“Hahaha, that’s right, it’s the Wolf Tribe!” Wang Xi laughed heartily and nodded, “The Wolf Tribe spy that the master sent over at that time gave me a reminder.”

"These wolf tribe members don't farm. Every autumn and winter, they go south to plunder. They are so hateful!"

"That time, I learned about the main force of the wolf tribe's movements in advance and set up an ambush, causing the wolf tribe to return in defeat. It was really a relief!"

Wang Xi recounted these past events with a look of pride on his face.

Bai Yuan could see that Wang Xi’s hatred for the wolf clan was not fake, he really hated these people to the core.

It should be said that the Qin soldiers who once guarded the border at the Shangjun Great Wall hated the wolf tribe.

It is precisely because they have been to the border that they are more aware of how much disaster the wolf tribe has brought to the people living on the border.

Although Bai Yuan had never seen that kind of scene with his own eyes, he also did not have a good impression of the wolf clan.

It should be said that his hatred for the wolf clan is ingrained in his bones.

As he drank the wine and ate the meat, Wang Xi gradually relaxed.

At this moment, he suddenly coughed twice as if unintentionally, and Bai Yuan keenly detected some changes in the atmosphere.

The soldier standing guard outside the tent seemed to have heard some signal and walked away.

Bai Yuan didn't think this was a coincidence.

These soldiers were all Wang Zhi's confidants and had a high level of tacit understanding with him.

Bai Yuan looked at Wang Xi with some confusion, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

He knew that Wang Xi had no ill will towards him.

Wang Xi knew that Bai Yuan had noticed the movement outside, and sighed: "Master Bai Yuan, please don't blame me. It's not good for others to know about the following conversation, so I gave the order in advance to let them guard from a distance."

"I wonder what General Wang Xi wants to discuss?"

Bai Yuan put down the wine bottle and looked at Wang Xi's expression.

Wang Xi hesitated for a moment, then asked seriously:

"I heard that the master is favored by the king. The king has invited the master to serve as an official in the court many times. When Lao Ai rebelled, the master saved the king and could have been awarded the position of national protector, but the master declined. Therefore, I am very curious about what the master thinks of the king."

When Bai Yuan heard Wang Xi's question, he knew why he was so cautious.

As a minister, he actually asked such a question, which shows that he has his own thoughts about the King of Qin in his heart.

It may not be a desire to rebel, but there is definitely some dissatisfaction.

And this dissatisfaction is not necessarily dissatisfaction with Ying Zheng, but more likely dissatisfaction with the King of Qin.

After all, it should still be Bai Qi's business.

Bai Yuan smiled and said, "Ying Zheng is a wise ruler with great talent and vision. He is capable and far-sighted. I think he will be the most likely person to end this chaotic world. I don't want to enter the court because I don't like the life of intrigue and deception in the court. However... General Wang Xi, it seems a bit presumptuous of you to ask these questions."

Bai Yuan tapped the table lightly with his fingers, making a tapping sound.

Wang Xi looked at the expression on Bai Yuan's face, unable to figure out Bai Yuan's attitude, but since he had already asked, he could only bite the bullet, stand up, and bow to Bai Yuan.

"Wang Zhi knew very well that he shouldn't ask such a question, but he had reasons to ask!"

"Appreciate further details."

Bai Yuan made a gesture of invitation.

Wang Xi let out a long sigh.

"It has been decades since I joined the army. During these decades, I have experienced countless wars, big and small. What I am most proud of is that I participated in the Battle of Changping as the deputy general of Wu'an Jun!"

When Bai Yuan heard Wang Xi mention the Battle of Changping, he couldn't help but remain silent.

In the history of war, the Battle of Changping is also an extremely important event.

How did Bai Qi get the name "God of Killing"?

All of this was achieved at the cost of human lives!

During the entire Warring States period, more than two million people died in wars, and Bai Qi alone killed nearly one million.

As the saying goes, one general's success is built on the bones of millions of men, and there are millions of bones under Bai Qi's feet!

However, this man is also a role model in the minds of countless soldiers. Even a fierce general like Wang Xi was impressed by Bai Qi's strength.

"It's a pity that Wu Anjun, who had never been defeated in the battlefield in his life, died in a war he had never participated in! What crime did Wu Anjun commit?"

"Is the King of Qin really worthy of our loyalty? I have asked myself this question more than once."

Wang Xi sat down, stroked the long axe beside him, and said some words that sounded a bit outrageous.

If word of this were to get out, the consequences would be serious.

However, Bai Yuan's expression was very calm.

He has seen many people like Wang Xi.

Speaking of which, Wang Xi is actually a fan of Bai Qi, and a die-hard fan at that.

However, Wang Xi was still rational. Although he felt that Bai Qi was wronged and it was not worth it, he had been serving the Qin Dynasty all these years and had not done anything too outrageous.
