Several Qin officials at the city gate were checking the people going in and out.
As the sky gets darker, it feels colder and colder. As the cold wind blows across the face, a Qin official instantly feels the biting coldness.
As city officials, hot summer and cold winter have always been the two most painful seasons for them.
The former can make people faint from the sun, while the latter can freeze people to death.
But when serving, as Qin officials, they did not dare to leave the city gate.
In human terms, if you die, you will die at the city gate.
At this time, I saw a young man leading a horse in the distance.
"Stop, who is it?"
A Qin official asked the young man.
Under the Qin leather armor, the Qin officials put both hands into each other's cuffs, with no intention of taking them out.
Several other Qin officials also looked at the young man up and down.
The young man was dressed in cloth and leading a horse. On top of the horse was a long cloth wrapper, which seemed to be a sword.
It was getting dark soon, and this young man was carrying a sword, so he had to be questioned.
"Bai Yan."
Bai Yan took out his wooden identity card from his arms, then picked it up and said to several Qin officials.
City gate.
When a Qin official heard Bai Yan's words, he immediately stood up straight and put his hands away.
As city officials of Pingyang City, it is impossible for them not to know about the Bai family, and it is even more impossible for them not to know who among the Bai family is currently in the army.
"doctor!"
The Qin official who had just asked, after seeing the wooden sign, quickly raised his hand in salute, and then moved out of the way.
Other Qin soldiers also gave way respectfully.
now.
Seeing that Bai Yan didn't scold them just now, all the Qin officials felt relieved.
They have all heard of Bai Yan's name, and they all know Bai Yan's deeds in the battle between Qin and Han, but they have never met Bai Yan himself or come into contact with him. They are all worried that Bai Yan is unkind and will be punished by law (
mean) to others.
After a while.
"Why don't these five doctors take the bus?"
"Yes, and why are you returning from the west gate? Logically speaking, shouldn't you enter the city from the east gate?"
After watching the young five officials enter the city just now, a famous Qin official looked at each other and discussed in a low voice.
These Qin officials really couldn't understand how comfortable it was to ride a bus on such a cold day without being blown by the wind, and with someone driving the carriage.
This is the convenience and comfort that can only be obtained by generals who are above the rank and rank.
Today, that child has not dreamed of riding a bus since he was a child.
Why do these five doctors leave the bus and ride alone in this cold weather?
If the five doctors had taken the bus just now, they would not have been so reckless.
In the midst of doubts, an elderly Qin official suddenly sighed.
"Now that the Bai family has this new upstart, he is so young, and the Bai family still holds the title of General Bai Yu, the Bai family's status should be higher than before."
Official Qin turned around and said.
Other Qin officials thought of General Bai Yu's poisoning and nodded in agreement.
Speaking of which, they all felt that fortunately before the invasion of Korea, another member of the Bai family happened to join the army, and the talents of this new recruit lived up to the name of the Bai family. After General Bai Yu was poisoned, this child immediately supported him.
Bai's status.
otherwise.
According to the previous scene of the Bai clan, except for General Bai Yu, all other members of the Bai clan were doing business.
Without this young descendant of the Bai family, after General Bai Yu was poisoned, no one from the Bai family would have had real power in the court. It is no exaggeration to say that the status of the Bai family would have plummeted.
"You are so young, you are the fifth doctor. Maybe the Bai family will become prominent again in the future."
A Qin official sighed.
As the words fell, a cold wind came.
Several Qin officials all shrank back again.
Bai family's mansion.
Perhaps because of Bai Yu's poisoning, the number of servants guarding the gate in front of the mansion has doubled compared to the last time Bai Yan arrived.
Bai Yan led the war horse to the gate of the mansion.
Thinking of Bai Yu's words in the past, if they were too exaggerated, it would definitely make people suspicious.
Bai Yan could only pretend to be relaxed.
At the gate.
The two servants looked at Bai Yan and were about to step forward to ask. However, at this time, a servant in his thirties had recovered from his shock. He hurriedly slapped the two servants and walked up quickly.
forward.
"Gentleman!"
The servant bowed his hands in ceremony, and as he spoke, he took Bai Yan's horse rope with both hands.
This servant was obviously an old man from the Bai family's residence and had received some instructions.
"Gentleman?"
The other servants were a little confused, but soon they thought of something and their eyes widened.
Nowadays, they have met almost all the members of the Bai clan, except for one person.
Bai Yan!
Think of this.
These servants quickly bowed their hands and prepared gifts to welcome Bai Yan into the house.
After a while.
In the Bai family's mansion.
Bai Yu was in the study, quietly enjoying the charcoal fire while looking at the bamboo slips.
Bai Yu's wife, Lu, was getting winter fruits for Bai Yu at the side. Bai Yu's children, Bai Ming and Bai Guo, were chattering beside Bai Yu.
Suddenly there was some movement outside.
Bai Yu was a little confused. After all, he was at home. How could there be such movement in this weather.
At this moment.
Following the sound of footsteps, the study door slowly opened. Under the gazes of Bai Yu, Lu Shi, Bai Ming, and Bai Gu, a servant entered the study with a young man.
When I saw that young man's appearance.
Bai Yu was surprised for a moment, but then his face was filled with joy.
"Bai Yan, meet your uncle!"
When Bai Yan saw Bai Yu, a smile appeared on his face. Even though he and Bai Yu were not related by blood.
But Bai Yu was like an elder to him.
The feelings of getting along with each other in the military and the care he received in the past are also the reasons why he came to the Bai family.
"You boy!"
Bai Yu looked happy and stretched out his hand to signal Bai Yan to come forward: "Come and take a seat!"
"You didn't let anyone know when you came here!"
Bai Yu felt so happy when he saw Bai Yan. While talking, he threw all the fruits on the table aside, leaving the wooden table free for Bai Yan to drink tea.
After returning to the mansion and understanding how Bai Yan came to the Bai Mansion, Bai Yu became more aware of why Bai Yan resisted coming to the Bai Family.
He understands now.
The young man came to Bai's house not only to show off, but also to visit him.
Otherwise, with Bai Yan's character, he can guarantee that this boy Bai Yan will definitely come to visit in the morning, and then say that he has important matters and will not live in the Bai family.
Think of this.
Bai Yu was quite pleased with it. At least he saw it right. Bai Yan was reserved and didn't like to express himself, but he was a person who valued friendship and righteousness.
Perhaps this is why the cavalry soldiers were willing to follow Bai Yan after he was poisoned.
"I've met my aunt!"
Bai Yan raised his hands in salute to Mr. Lu.
Mrs. Lu quickly returned the favor. She had met Bai Yan once before, and during this period, she had heard about this young man from Bai Yu countless times.
It can be said that in Bai Yu's words, she also had a clear understanding of this young man.
"Bai Ming, I've met my cousin!"
"Bai Yu, I've met my cousin!!"
Bai Ming and Bai Guo saluted Bai Yan and vacated their seats.
Bai Yan nodded in return.
After the ceremony, Bai Yan felt the pleasant temperature in the study room and saw that Bai Yu had a wife to serve him, children to accompany him, and a salary far exceeding that of ordinary officials.
Compared to leading soldiers in the army, being on the battlefield is a life-and-death experience.
This kind of life is really enviable.
"My uncle is at home, but it's very pleasant."
Bai Yan stepped forward, knelt down, and spoke softly with a smile.
Looking at Bai Yu, the last time we talked was when we were carrying millet.
At that time, Bai Yu looked pale.
Now I see Bai Yu again, and Bai Yu's complexion is already like a normal person.
Bai Yan also felt happy at this moment.
"Comfortable?"
Bai Yu laughed angrily, then shook his head.
Although in the mansion, one could enjoy peace of mind and be with his wife, children and young children, but after a while, it became really boring and it was not as practical as leading troops in the army.
What's more, among the Bai family, there is no one who is familiar with leading troops in war.
"You will know how uncomfortable it is when you experience it. I heard that your title is now the fifth doctor?"
Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan and sighed softly, but when he talked about the next part, his eyes were filled with emotion and wonder.
Five doctors!
Bai Yu couldn't imagine that before he fell into coma, Bai Yan was just a doctor.
Now in the blink of an eye, the young man who used to be in the army has become the fifth official of the Qin State!
Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he knew that Bai Yan's experience along the way could not be summed up in a few words.
Before he returned to Qin, he woke up briefly. At that time, Sima Xing told him that after he fell into coma, Bai Yan was alone, resisted the pressure, and led the cavalry army to perform meritorious deeds.
"Achieved some military exploits!"
Bai Yan listened to Bai Yu's inquiry and nodded slightly.
Bai Yan thought of something, with a smile on his face, he took out a seal from his arms and placed it on the table.
In the study room.
Bai Yu was stunned when he saw the seal. Looking at the familiar appearance of the seal, how could he not recognize that seal?
"The boy is really looking forward to the day when he can have fun at home and be carefree."
Bai Yan said to Bai Yu.
Bai Yan did not comment on the discomfort Bai Yu said.
He traveled thousands of miles and came to Qin from Qi alone, not just because he wanted to be like Bai Yu after the unification of Qin, and enjoy his salary and spend time with his family without any worries.
"The king appoints you as the guardian of Gaonu City in Shangjun?"
Bai Yu ignored Bai Yan's words and reached out to take the seal, full of shock.
In the battle to destroy Han, Bai Yan's deeds attracted people's attention. Therefore, after Han was destroyed, the fact that Bai Yan was granted the title of Five Great Officials also spread in the Qin State.
But no one has ever mentioned the matter of Gaonu City Guards.
Bai Yu was really confused at this moment, the king actually asked this boy to be the city guard.
What on earth did this kid do?
Inside the Bai family's mansion.
"Bai Yan has returned home?"
When the servants informed this matter, not to mention Bai Zhong, Ji was surprised. Even in the study room in another part of the mansion, Bai Yan was also very surprised.
In Bai Yan's study.
Bai Yan nodded slowly when he heard that his father Bai Zhong had ordered people to prepare for the banquet.
Although he knew clearly that Bai Yan came to Bai's mansion because of Bai Yu.
But in the eyes of outsiders, Bai Yan is a member of their Bai clan, and now he has returned with meritorious services and a title.
Naturally, a banquet will be held in the mansion to honor Bai Yan, and the Bai family also needs to show it to outsiders.
"Go and inform Junzhu, Yingxue."
Bai Yan turned his head and said to his wife Xue.
Ms. Xue was a little absent-minded. When she heard Bai Yan's words, she nodded slightly in a trance.
Thinking of the young man from the past who came to the mansion wearing ripped cloth, and thinking of the present, Mrs. Xue couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Dear readers! The next update will be tomorrow morning!
Go to bed early, take care of yourself, and have a good night.
