Chapter 131 The strange old man arrives in Xianyang
"In the camp of Captain Wuxiong, the veteran cavalry soldier Xing Pu comes to pay his respects to Lord Wu An!"
"Under the camp of Captain Jiaxi, the veteran cavalry soldier Chun Chun and his grandson Chun Ze are paying homage to Lord Wu'an!"
Outside Du You Pavilion, in front of a cemetery in the distance, dozens of old people with some gray hair, bringing their children and grandchildren, knelt down in front of the tomb.
Obviously these people were dressed in commoners and did not look like wealthy people, but the tributes these old people brought now included chickens, ducks, fish, grains, wine, and wormwood wood.
One by one, young or young men placed all the tributes in front of the tombstone.
A few words were engraved on a simple tombstone: Tomb of Bai Qi.
Twenty-seven years ago, on this day in November, Bai Qi was sentenced to death in Duyou.
"Jun Wu'an, the Bai family has another son joining the army. His name is Bai Yan. I heard."
In front of the tombstone, an old man burned incense and murmured to the tombstone, slowly telling what he heard.
These old men were all Bai Qi's cronies back then.
When Bai Qi was sentenced to death, all of Bai Qi's former subordinates and cronies were dispersed in the army. Later, in the battles, most of them died on the battlefield, and only a few died safely.
Before his death, Bai Qi was deprived of his title and demoted to the rank of commoner. Therefore, today, people in the world call Bai Qi by his first name. Only the old soldiers who are still alive still call Bai Qi Lord Wu'an.
In the distance, a carriage stopped on the road, and a young man dressed in cloth and wearing a Qin sword on his waist slowly walked towards the cemetery.
As the young man approached.
These old people saw clearly the young man's clothes and appearance, and they were a little confused.
They come here every year on this day, but they have never seen this boy.
But these old men didn't think much about it. They just thought that they were the descendants of that general. They were just passing by here today and came here specifically to visit.
As for the descendants of Lord Wu An, they don’t think so.
This day every year.
The Bai clan would wait for old soldiers like them to pay homage to Lord Wu An, and then wait a few days before coming to pay homage.
They old soldiers never blamed the Bai family.
Because they all understand that Lord Wu An was sentenced to death without guilt, and they are all close followers of Lord Wu An in the past, and they worship together with the Bai clan on this day. This happens every year, so it is inevitable that no one will slander him behind his back.
In front of the cemetery.
Bai Yan walked to the tombstone and bowed down facing Bai Qi's tombstone.
When he went to Pingyang before, he took another route and did not pass through Xianyang.
Now that I came to Xianyang, I naturally wanted to come and pay a visit.
After the gift.
Bai Yan looked at the simple tombstone and the simple words on it, his eyes a little complicated.
A generation of famous generals rose in vain, and the tombs after their deaths were so simple.
Bai Qi killed millions of enemy soldiers, offended the whole world, and left countless disasters to future generations.
Is it worth it in life?
"Wu'an Lord, if King Zhaoxiang believed in you, how could the Qin State have killed two to three hundred thousand Qin people by the Zhao State in a few years? After Han was destroyed, if the Qin State attacked Zhao again in the future, what would happen to the Qin State?
Against Li Mu?"
Bai Yan heard the old soldiers muttering in front of the tomb, glanced at the other old soldiers, then turned and left.
Just now I heard the old soldier mention his name, but Bai Yan didn't tell these old soldiers that he was Bai Yan.
The Bai family will not worship on this day.
Naturally, it was difficult for him to say his name.
However.
About to return to the pavilion.
What Bai Yan didn't expect was that he actually saw Huai, who had already returned to his hometown, pecking the two of them.
Looking at Huai and Pei, they were surrounded by several elderly people and several children.
At this time, Bai Yan finally understood why General Hu Jin asked them to protect him personally that day. Like Ye, they agreed without hesitation.
At the pavilion.
Huai and Pei were very surprised to see Bai Yan and looked excited. When they were about to say hello, they both saw Bai Yan shaking his head slightly.
See the situation.
The two of them seemed to have thought of something, so they endured the excitement in their hearts and remained silent.
Along with passing by.
Among the children who were with Huai and Pei, several children turned back to look at Bai Yan.
"Brother, that man's sword is so beautiful!"
"Is that person also here to worship Lord Wu An?"
The two children whispered. As they spoke, they turned around in three steps, their little eyes looking straight at the sword on the waist of the man just now.
When Huai and Pei heard the child's words, they laughed in their hearts and said: The man holding the sword is none other than Bai Yan, a descendant of the Bai family whom you have been talking about before.
Think of this.
Huai, pecked his eyes at the many old soldiers in front of the tomb, sighing in his heart.
Dozens of people paid homage to Wu'an Lord Bai Qi in front of the tomb, but no one knew that the young man just now was the current commander of Bai's Iron Cavalry and a member of Bai Qi's clan.
Beside the road.
In the carriage, Xi felt that the doctor had not driven the carriage for a long time after returning to the carriage, so he opened the curtain and looked at the doctor with doubts.
"Doctor, what's wrong?"
Xi asked.
Bai Yan sat on the carriage, holding the horse rope, and looked at the old man with gray hair and silk clothes in the pavilion.
Bai Yan felt a little strange. Hearing Xi's question, he came to his senses and shook his head.
"nothing!"
Bai Yan thought for a while, said softly, then drove the carriage and rushed towards Xianyang City.
Not ten miles away.
Following Bai Yan to the gate of Xianyang City, the Qin officials guarding the city came forward to ask Bai Yan's identity.
Bai Yan took out his identity.
When the Qin officials saw it, they quickly let him go.
The carriage enters the city.
Bai Yan came to Xianyang for the first time and saw the streets in the city busy with traffic and pedestrians.
Bai Yan could feel that compared to other cities in Qin, Xianyang, the capital of Qin, not only had scenery, culture, clothing and customs that were unique to Qin, but also had the culture of other countries.
And I don't know if it's an illusion, but Bai Yan can feel that the people in the city have a much better life than the people in the capitals of other countries. It seems to be because of Qin's laws and laws.
An hour later.
Bai Yan went to the city officials, registered, and received the rewarded mansion.
Then, led by two Qin officials, Bai Yan arrived at the door of his mansion.
After the two Qin officials went in to inform their servants, they said goodbye to Bai Yan and left.
Bai Yan took the Bao family into the mansion.
The mansion is not big. Within the walls, there are only two small courtyards and a small pavilion in the front. However, there are quite a few houses. Although they are not exquisite at first glance and are not as good as those wealthy mansions in the past, compared with ordinary inns, they are like ordinary people's homes.
, it is several times better.
At least, it's a mansion.
Bai Yan felt a sense of accomplishment as he looked at the mansion and property that would belong to him in the future.
In Qin State, he also had a home of his own.
What comes to mind.
Bai Yan turned to look at Bao.
"I will wrong Madam in the future."
Bai Yan said softly.
This mansion is naturally not as good as the General's Mansion in Xinzheng, but for now, the Bao family can only live here.
"The doctor took me in. I have nothing to repay for my worries. How can I feel wronged?"
Bao said to Bai Yan.
Youhao is Bao's name registered in Bai Yan's household registration. Now that there are servants present, Bao will naturally not tell her real name.
Bai Yan looked at the considerate Baoshi.
Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Yan left the matters in the mansion and his servants to Bao and Xi, and turned around to leave the mansion.
After dark.
In a spacious room, accompanied by the sound of splashing water, heat filled the room.
After turning a corner in the room, Bao sat in a wooden barrel and carefully washed her delicate body.
Xi was in the room, holding clean Qin clothes, when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"who?"
Xi asked softly.
Bao, who was sitting in the barrel, held his breath when he heard the knock on the door.
"I, Bai Yan!"
It wasn't until Bai Yan's voice came from outside the door that Bao Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
Xi came to the door and opened it gently.
Then he saw Bai Yan standing outside the door, holding a white wolf skin and two velvet sweaters in his hands.
"It's bitterly cold in winter, this is for my lady, this is for you."
Bai Yan handed the clothes in his hand to Xi.
When Xi heard that Bai Yan also bought her some clothes, she lowered her head with a pretty face, but this time, she did not refuse.
Bai Yan looked at the room behind Xi, which was filled with heat mist. He naturally guessed that Bao must be taking a bath, so he said goodbye and left.
After watching Bai Yan leave, Xi closed the door.
In the bathtub.
When Bao saw the white wolf skin in Xi's hand, her beautiful eyes were a little dazed.
Only then did she know why Bai Yan suddenly left the mansion just now and didn't come back until dark.
