Between the mountains and rivers, on a path, a carriage was driving slowly.
The trail is an official road and is maintained by local officials and soldiers all year round. Although it is labor-intensive and time-consuming, it makes it more convenient for travel, business, and even the gathering of soldiers to cede land.
It has always been rumored among the people that the Zhou Dynasty had just enfeoffed 800 princes. Since each prince had a small territory and not many people to mobilize, the roads were all small and mountainous roads in the past. Whenever there was a war, there was a heavy supply of food and grass.
It could not be transported at all, and eventually it was annexed by other vassal states.
The legend is that it was seven or eight hundred years ago, but there is no way to verify it. Most of it is passed down from generation to generation of Qin officials or local officials. No one knows whether it is true or not, but it is indeed convenient to transport food, grass and baggage, and to cultivate official roads.
Businessmen, these common people all say they can see it.
"Drive~!"
As the coachman drove the carriage, on both sides of the carriage, Huai and Ye were all riding war horses. As the war horses moved forward, they both looked to the left and right in front. If there was any abnormal movement, they could pull out their waists boldly.
Inside the carriage.
Bai Yan was sitting among them, without putting on his official uniform. After all, he was not going to the palace. It didn't matter whether he wore official uniform or not, as long as he took his Jue Bian with him.
"When we get to the Bai family later, you don't need to say anything. I will make it clear to my uncle."
Bai Yan looked at Master Xu, accompanied by the slight bumps of the carriage. Fortunately, there were soft cushions.
"promise!"
Master Xu was sitting by the small window of the carriage. Hearing Bai Yan's words, he nodded.
Bai Yan thought for a while and then added.
"I will tell my uncle that you are a disciple of the Bian Que sect, and your mentor's name was Fu Ru. However, he died unexpectedly, so you did not learn all the medical skills."
Bai Yan planned to continue to keep the secret that Master Xu was a poison master, and was not even prepared to tell Bai Yu.
The poison master's matter is of great importance.
If others knew that the city guard of Gaonu City, the commander of the Bai family's iron cavalry, and the maid beside him was a poison master, I don't know what people would say in secret.
Master Xu looked at Bai Yan in confusion. She did not expect that Bai Yan, a descendant of the Bai family, would not even tell his own clan members for her sake.
She would be lying if she said she wasn't touched. A poison master could be treated like this, which she had never dared to imagine since she was a child.
"Will General Bai Yu believe it?"
Master Xu lowered his head and looked at General Bai Yan with some concern.
Will General Bai Yu really believe this excuse?
"You don't need to worry about this."
Bai Yan listened to Master Xu's words, turned to look at Master Xu, and consoled him: "If you can't recognize the poison, it doesn't matter. If you can recognize the poison, you will be Bian Que in the eyes of the world."
Disciple, no matter what, Bai Shi will not investigate."
Master Xu was a little surprised when he heard Bai Yan's words.
Moreover, Master Xu is not stupid. She can easily tell from the general's words that the general means that as long as she can cure General Bai Yu this time, she will become Bian Que's disciple.
After a while.
As the carriage continued to drive, the faint voices of the people seemed to be heard.
Bai Yan stretched out his hand to open the curtain of the small window, and sure enough he saw some people, and the carriage had now left the mountains and rivers.
"General, Pingyang City is ahead!"
Along with the sound of the carriage's wheels turning, Master Xu heard Ye's voice inside the carriage.
Seeing this, Master Xu couldn't help but reached out to lift the car curtain and looked out.
Pingyang City.
At the Bai family's residence, Bai Yan's carriage slowly arrived at the entrance of the residence. Ye and Huai got off their horses and dismounted.
Bai Yan also slowly walked out of the carriage.
Because the last time he came to Bai's house was three months ago, the servants in the mansion have not forgotten Bai Yan's appearance.
Seeing Bai Yan, the servants guarding the gate gave way one after another, and one servant turned around and ran towards the mansion.
"Gentleman!"
"Gentleman!!"
A subordinate looked at Bai Yan, looked at the title on Bai Yan's head, and couldn't help sweating on his palms. Now in the Bai family's mansion, except for General Bai Yu, the only one in front of him was the young Bai Bai.
Yan is a general, and he is also the general of the general.
"Is uncle at home?"
Bai Yan looked at the leading servant and asked.
"Gentleman, General Bai Yu is here!"
The servant nodded quickly and said, not daring to be careless in his words and deeds.
Bai Yan nodded, and then led Master Xu into the mansion.
Inside the mansion.
Due to the reason reported by the servant, when Bai Yan came to Bai Yu's study, Bai Yu was already sitting in the study with a smile on his face.
Seeing Bai Yan, Bai Yu stood up.
Bai Yu's wife, Lu, quickly helped Bai Yu.
"Bai Yan, I've met my uncle!"
Bai Yan raised his hands to Bai Yu and saluted, Master Xu followed behind him and also saluted slowly.
After saluting Bai Yu, Bai Yan bowed his hand to Lu.
"Bai Yan, I've met my aunt!"
In terms of etiquette, Bai Yan will not be rude. After all, Bai Yan knows how Bai Yu leads him.
Mrs. Lu returned the courtesy to Bai Yan, while Bai Yu smiled.
"Your boy came to Bai's today, which really surprises me!"
Bai Yu smiled and said, in his heart, he always thought that with the character of Bai Yan, he would have to wait until tomorrow to come again. He never thought of coming to Bai's today.
Why did you suddenly change your gender?
Looking at the crown on Bai Yan's head, Bai Yu was filled with emotion.
General!
That young man who was covered in blood in Yangcheng was now wearing a general's title on his head, which really made people sigh.
This kid really didn't embarrass him, but actually gave him face.
Ten thousand warriors dared to fight the Yueshi, and the Huns had 150,000 horses. He didn't dare to be as crazy as this kid.
"Why don't you come here earlier?"
After Bai Yan finished his salute, he said to Bai Yu.
Just when Bai Yan was about to continue talking, Bai Yu signaled that Bai Yan should follow him.
"Follow me to the main hall. My father and eldest brother must already know the news of your return. Every time you return to the Bai family, the first thing you do is to run to my study. What a big deal."
Bai Yu said angrily.
The words were full of ridicule, intimacy, and laughter.
This also made Mr. Lu on the side couldn't help laughing, and looked at Bai Yan with a smile.
"Wait a minute!"
Bai Yan thought about it and did not refuse, but turned his head and looked at Master Xu: "Excuse me, Miss Xu, please help me see the poison that my uncle has been poisoned by!"
Bai Yan deliberately made the relationship in his words not so familiar, and even seemed a bit reserved.
This is a small detail that is beneficial to Master Xu.
"Who is this?"
Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan with confusion on his face, but from Bai Yan's words, he could clearly tell that Bai Yan brought this woman to him for medical treatment.
Mrs. Lu also looked nervous. She looked at Bai Yan and then at the young Master Xu.
This is obviously the result of Bai Yan's little detail just now. If Bai Yan had spoken in an instructive tone just now, whether it was Bai Yu or Lu, his attitude would have been different.
"This is Master Xu. She studied under Bian Que and Fu Ru. However, her master died unexpectedly and her medical skills have not yet been fully developed. Now I will bring her to Bai's to have a look. I may not be sure."
Bai Yan informed Bai Yu and Lu of Master Xu's identity.
As soon as these words came out.
Whether it was Bai Yu or Lu, they all looked at Master Xu in shock.
Disciple Bian Que!
Is this girl a disciple of Bian Que?
Bai Yu, Lu didn't expect that Bai Yan, who had previously learned that disciple Bian Que might be able to be cured, actually found a disciple of Bian Que this time!
Thinking of this, both Bai Yu and Lu Shi knew that what Bai Yan did behind those simple words and the price he paid were definitely extraordinary.
You can imagine how difficult it is to find a disciple of Bian Que despite all the efforts of the Bai family.
"Master Xu, I have met General Bai Yu and his wife!"
Master Xu saluted again.
Seeing General Bai Yu, who was a general, and Mrs. Lu's very polite return of greetings to him, Master Xu's heart was filled with warmth, and this warmth came from Bai Yan beside him.
"Thank you!"
Bai Yu said to Master Xu and motioned for Master Xu to take a seat.
Although Bai Yan said that due to an accident, Miss Xu's medical skills were not perfect, a glimmer of hope inevitably arose in Bai Yu's heart.
Who wants to stay in the mansion like a waste every day?
Mrs. Lu on the side had red eyes and looked at Master Xu diligently.
