Chapter 187 Lu Qis confusion, is Zhong Yan Bai Yan?
"Where do you come from? Where is your registered residence?"
"Where to go?"
"What's in it?"
Under the city gate of Yuzhong City, a Qin official was checking the people entering and exiting the city gate.
Since it is one of the three major cities in Shangjun, there is an endless flow of people entering and exiting the city gate every day. Especially after Gaonu City, which was also one of the major cities, was burned down. The nobles and wealthy people who previously lived in Gaonu City all left their families, wives and concubines.
Moved to Yuzhong.
All the Qin officials who were guarding the city gate knew that nothing could be done carelessly in these two days. The new governor had just taken up his post, and prestigious nobles from other cities had come to visit Yuzhong. No mistakes could be made during this period.
Outside the city gate.
Bai Yan led the war horse and waited with Ye and others.
Speaking of which, Bai Yan was also surprised. He didn't expect Lu Qi to have arrived in Yuzhong, and Lu Qi actually thought of ordering his servants to wait for him at the city gate.
Thinking of Lu Qi's fat appearance, Bai Yan couldn't help but laugh in his heart. If he guessed correctly, Lu Qi must have known that he had accepted Master Xu and was in a hurry right now.
Bai Yan didn't let Bai Yan wait for long, after a while.
The scorching sun was rising and the cold wind was blowing. Just as Bai Yan was chatting with Ye and others, he saw a chubby young man appearing under the city gate and was stopped by a Qin official.
Bai Yan could naturally tell at a glance that that person was Lu Qi.
After watching the Qin officials inspect Lu Qi, he let Lu Qi go out of the city.
"I'll go over there for a while, you guys wait here!"
Bai Yan said to Ye and others, then looked at Master Xu: "Master Xu, come with me!"
Ye and Huai nodded and watched Master Xu walk over with the general. The three of them stood there and waited while continuing to chat. The topic started to change to what happened in the restaurant last night.
"Zhong Yan, I had such a hard time looking for you!"
Outside the city gate, Lu Qi was sweating profusely. He looked at the young man walking in the distance and shouted breathlessly as he trotted.
At this moment, when he saw the young man with his own eyes, Lu Qi finally let go of his anxious heart.
As long as we meet him, everything else will be easy to solve.
"Long days no see!"
Bai Yan led Master Xu and walked slowly to Lu Qi, stopped, and bowed his hands.
Lu Qi also quickly returned the favor.
The last time the two met was in Xianyang City, the night Lu Qi hosted a banquet at Lu Mansion.
"that!"
Lu Qi panted and looked at Master Xu. The moment he raised his hand, he put it down again, and then looked at Bai Yan.
Bai Yan understood what Lu Qi meant.
"No problem, Master Xu is mine now!"
Bai Yan opened his mouth and said.
But after saying this, Bai Yan felt a little emotional unconsciously.
In front of others, he said that a woman was one of his own.
If we were still in Qiguo Village a year ago, even ordinary women would not dare to think about it, let alone a talented, capable and good-looking woman like Master Xu.
No wonder Zhang Yi, Fan Sui, Li Si, Wei Liao, Yao Jia and others all chose Qin among all the countries in the world.
If he takes Master Xu back to the village now and says that Master Xu is his, the people in the village will be stunned.
"Master Xu, I have met Mr. Lu!"
Master Xu saluted Lu Qi. If Master Xu had called Lu Qi the same as Lu Sheng before, he would have called him the young shopkeeper.
But now she is Bai Yan's person, not the piano player in the restaurant.
"Um!"
Lu Qi nodded, glanced at Master Xu, thought for a while, and then turned to Bai Yan: "I'll take a step to speak?"
When Master Xu heard this, she lowered her head slightly. She knew that in Lu Qi's eyes, she was Lu Sheng's person.
Bai Yan glanced at Master Xu from the corner of his eye.
"Don't worry! Master Xu is already mine. To get Master Xu, I will only help Lu Sheng with one thing except Yingchuan County! I will do it with my strength."
Bai Yan explained to Lu Qi and told Lu Qi again that Master Xu was his.
This means that there is no need to avoid Master Xu.
The reason why Bai Yan brought Master Xu here was because he wanted to make Master Xu understand through small actions that he believed in her.
After knowing Master Xu's identity, he dared to drink the tea sent by Master Xu and eat the food sent by Master Xu. He would not avoid her when talking about her affairs, nor would he expose her identity.
.
This is Bai Yan's little way to win people's hearts. Regardless of these small actions, for Master Xu, who has a low status, they are more touching than promises. After all, anyone can say promises, but every detail,
Not everyone will act the same as they say.
Bai Yan was once a commoner at the lowest level, and the experiences he experienced made him understand this better than others.
"Hehe, okay! Master Xu is outstanding in appearance, fair and beautiful. Since you like it, I also agree!"
Lu Qi smiled.
Yan's answer surprised Lu Qi, but it also made Lu Qi feel that Yan was sincere to Master Xu.
Lu Qi couldn't help but marvel, and was very curious about what made Yan change so quickly.
Think of this.
Lu Qi couldn't help but look curiously at the fair-skinned and beautiful Master Xu next to Yan, who kept his head lowered.
Lu Qi was also a little pity. Originally, in his eyes, he should be the one to arrange Zhong Yan's woman. After all, he had always planned to find a stunning woman for Zhong Yan.
Beside Bai Yan, Master Xu lowered his head at the moment and kept twisting the straps with his little hands. But when he heard Bai Yan's words, his little hands obviously paused and his head lowered, and then he returned to the original state.
"Zhong Yan, Lu Sheng came to Shangjun this time because he probably wanted to see General Bai! This is also why he gave Master Xu to you!"
Lu Qi said softly.
At this time, Lu Qi no longer avoided Master Xu. After all, since Yan had spoken, he would naturally not say anything else.
"Don't worry! Regarding meeting General Bai, I can guarantee that you will meet General Bai earlier than Lu Sheng!"
Bai Yan opened his mouth and said.
This sentence made Lu Qi overjoyed. In Lu Qi's eyes, Zhong Yan was equivalent to a promise to him.
"With your words, I feel relieved. This time I am here just for this matter. In a day or two, I want to bring some congratulatory gifts to Gaonu to meet General Bai!"
Lu Qi said with a smile.
And Lu Qi's words made Bai Yan couldn't help but remember that when he was in Xianyang City last time, he learned that Lu Qi actually ran back to Qi State to seek marriage!
"A congratulatory gift? What congratulatory gift?"
Bai Yan asked, a little worried that Lu Qi would do something sexy again.
"Hehe, you say you are dissatisfied. In fact, I don't know. I left Luoyang in a hurry, so I asked my servants to prepare it for me. But don't worry, it must be worth a lot of money!"
Lu Qi was a little embarrassed.
At the moment, Lu Qi doesn't even know what his servants will prepare for him.
The only thing that is certain is that it must be worth a lot of money, because this is the only thing he asked for before leaving Luoyang.
"By the way, since you are in Yuzhong, why don't you go with your uncle to visit the county governor's house?"
Bai Yan looked at Lu Qi, this was also the thing he was most curious about.
Logically speaking, today the nobles went to visit the governor's mansion, but Lu Qi actually didn't go to the governor's mansion, which really surprised him.
After all, in the governor's mansion right now, not to mention Lord Feng and other officials, there are countless people from the gentry, so it is a good opportunity to make connections.
"Aren't we worried about you here?"
Lu Qi burst into tears when he heard Bai Yan's words.
When Bai Yan saw this, he couldn't help but smile. After all, he didn't expect that his position in Lu Qi's heart was so important.
Seeing that Lu Qi cared so much about him, Bai Yan felt warmed. He didn't make a mistake in his bet, and he didn't see the wrong person in his eyes.
But when Bai Yan was about to speak.
There was a sudden noise at the city gate, and Lu Qi and Bai Yan both looked over.
Under the gaze of the two men, several cavalrymen and several Qin officials hurried out of the city, as if they were anxious about something.
Bai Yan and Lu Qi glanced at each other but didn't care, thinking that those cavalrymen were ordered to leave Yuzhong.
Just when the two were about to look away.
Discovered suddenly.
Among the cavalry, one of the cavalry glanced this way and quickly turned around to say something. Then the cavalry and the Qin officials all rushed towards here.
Gulu gulu~!
"Um?"
Along with the sound of horse hoofbeats, Lu Qi looked at the cavalry and Qin officials who came to him in the blink of an eye, feeling a little panicked.
what's the situation?
Even though Lu Qi had met many officials, it was all because he followed his tribe and now came to Yuzhong, Shangjun, and was unfamiliar with the place.
When several cavalry and Qin officials suddenly arrived, Lu Qi couldn't help but feel nervous. Did something happen?
After all, even with his eyes closed, he knew that the Qin officials and cavalry would never come here without enough food.
Under Lu Qi's somewhat bewildered gaze, several cavalrymen reined in their horses ten steps away, dismounted, and trotted towards him.
Lu Qi's Adam's apple twitched as he watched this scene, because he could already tell that these people seemed to be looking at Zhong Yan beside him.
Apparently he came here for Zhong Yan.
But everything is fine, why do these people suddenly come towards Zhong Yan?
Thinking of this, Lu Qi was a little worried.
Then Lu Qi saw several cavalrymen coming to his side, stopping on the left and right, and all holding their hands in Zhong Yan's direction.
"General! We are here under the orders of General Hu Jin to escort Xianyang's imperial edict!"
The leading cavalryman spoke first.
When Lu Qi saw this, he was a little confused.
General?
There is no general here!
Only he, Zhong Yan, and Master Xu!
Why do these cavalry
Suddenly, Lu Qi thought of something, the expression on his plump mouth gradually solidified, and he instantly turned to look at Yan.
"good!"
Under Lu Qi's stunned gaze, Zhong Yan, who was standing next to Master Xu, nodded.
Lu Qi's head was buzzing.
How could Zhong Yan be a general? How could the Xianyang edict be given to Zhong Yan? What on earth is going on? Logically speaking, if you want to give it, you should give it to him.
With the thoughts in his mind, Lu Qi's eyes widened for the first time on his chubby face, full of disbelief.
"impossible!"
When Lu Qi thought of that possibility, he instinctively denied it because no one knew it better than him.
This young man is from Qi! He also has his eldest aunt’s jade pendant, and he even wrote letters to Feiyan.
How could Zhong Yan be Bai Yan, the city guard of Gaonu City!
Absolutely impossible, Lu Qi dared to risk his life
At this time, Lu Qi suddenly heard the voice of Qin Li in his ear.
"General Bai! The king has issued an order to order Bai Yan, the fifth official, to rush to Xianyang and enter the palace on a certain day."
Lu Qi was dumbfounded on the spot. Following these words, he watched the young man accept the promise with his hands raised, and watched the Qin official walk by and hand the edict to the young man.
At this moment, even if he couldn't believe it, Lu Qi still didn't know that Zhong Yan was Bai Yan!
Is Zhong Yan Bai Yan?
Is Zhong Yan Bai Yan?
Zhong Yan is actually Bai Yan!!!
Lu Qi was horrified in his heart, his brain was already buzzing, and he felt dizzy in a daze.
"Excuse me!"
Bai Yan received the order without any surprise.
"Your Majesty ordered us to work so hard! General Bai, let's take our leave first!"
Several Qin officials quickly raised their hands and said with a smile.
After Bai Yan returned the greeting, several Qin officials took two steps back and turned to leave.
"General Bai, we must retreat!"
Several cavalrymen also raised their hands to Bai Yan and said, then turned and left.
They just led the Qin officials to chase Bai Yan. Now that they have caught up, they naturally have to go back to recover.
Outside the city.
As the cavalry and Qin officials rode away, Bai Yan read the edict and handed it to Master Xu. Then he looked at Lu Qi with a dull expression and couldn't help laughing.
Bai Yan had thought about the scenario where Lu Qi knew his identity many times, but he never expected that he would be in such a hurry and without any preparation.
In Bai Yan's expectation, he should tell Lu Qi personally.
Who knows, this edict will come to Yuzhong just at this time.
No, the imperial edict calculated the time and indeed arrived in Yuzhong now. What really surprised him was that Lu Qi came to Yuzhong just at this time, and instead of going to the governor's house, he came to the city gate to look for him.
he.
"You! You! You! You are."
Lu Qi looked at Bai Yan tremblingly. At this moment, Lu Qi's mind still couldn't turn around.
How could Zhong Yan be Bai Yan?
If Zhong Yan was Bai Yan, why would he have a jade pendant for his aunt, and why would he write letters to Fei Yan who was far away in Qi State?
However, what the cavalry and Qin officials said just now cannot be false.
It was only then that Lu Qi suddenly thought of why Bai Yan, a descendant of the Bai family who he had never met before in Yingchuan County, would help him without even making a request.
No wonder.
All this can be explained, even Master Xu can explain it.
Bai Yan looked at Lu Qi's appearance, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he didn't explain too much. He knew that he needed to give Lu Qi time to recover.
Bai Yan was not worried about Lu Qi knowing about him.
Not to mention his belief in Lu Qi's character, more importantly, the edict from Xianyang City has been delivered. After he goes to Xianyang, this matter will also be informed to the current King of Qin.
This was the decision Bai Yan made after thinking about it when Hu Jin told him that he might go to Xianyang.
Bai Yan knew that his family far away in Linzi, Qi State, could not know that his name was Bai Yan, and that the Bai family in Pingyang City could not know that he was not Wuxing, but Qin King Yingzheng must not be the last to know the whole story.
If you think about it, you will know that once you hesitate, there will be two completely different attitudes towards Ying Zheng in the future.
One is active and the other is passive.
Between the two, Bai Yan chose the former without hesitation.
Although Bai Yan has never met Ying Zheng, he knows something that Ying Zheng will do in the future and does not kill the hero. Bai Yan has a hunch that the showdown will do more good than harm to him!
The cold wind blew by, bringing Lu Qi back to his senses.
"Lü Qi, meet General Bai!"
Lu Qi came to his senses and saluted Bai Yan, but his expression was still confused.
Bai Yan couldn't help but laugh.
"You can just call me Zhong Yan. If you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say it!"
Bai Yan said, with a hint of intimacy in his words.
When Lu Qi heard Bai Yan's words, he came to his senses instantly. After reacting, he nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, of course!"
Lu Qi was not stupid. He couldn't understand Bai Yan's words. Moreover, after recovering from the shock, ecstasy followed.
Zhong Yan is Bai Yan!
Lu Qi, who knew about this, saw that Zhong Yan, no, Bai Yan was as close to him as ever.
Thinking of this, Lu Qi finally no longer worried that Lu Sheng would poach his backers.
My backer, my best friend!
"Lü Qi thanks Zhong Yan for the Yingchuan matter!"
Although it was difficult for Lu Qi to calm down, he still raised his hands seriously, took a step back, and bowed his hands to Bai Yan again.
Last time, when he was in Xianyang, Lu Qi thanked him.
At that time, Lu Qi didn't know that the Zhong Yan in front of him was Bai Yan. Now that he knew it, he naturally wanted to thank him again.
"No need to be polite. I can't go to Xianyang today. Come on, go back and wait for me to finish writing the bamboo slips. Let's go to a restaurant for a drink!"
Bai Yan cupped his hands and said, looking at the sky, he must not be able to set off today. After all, it took more than half a month to get to Xianyang. Now he had to write a letter back to Gaonu and explain the matter to Chai before he could set off.
When Lu Qi heard this, he laughed and nodded quickly. His mind was now full of questions and he had too many things to ask.
"Let's go have a drink!"
There is no excessive shock, but it is written as a coincidence.
Lu Qi was the first to know, and Lu Qi would not tell anyone.
In the setting, it is different from last time. When Lu Qi goes to Tian Mansion in Qi State, he will see Tian Feiyan’s father and Tian Feiyan’s eldest brother talking about Bai Yan, with a good face and an especially wonderful expression.
