Chapter 248 The arrival of Master Xu and the appointment of the mysterious man
In Handan City, Zhao State.
On the second day after Wu Gao came, Bai Yan met Gongzi Jia again. After discussing the price, Gongzi Jia told Bai Yan that he needed time to think about it.
Bai Yan was not in a hurry.
After writing the letter, Bai Yan asked Feng Nian to take a trip and send it to Yingchuan.
Because the grain and millet were transported from Shu, passing through Yingchuan, and could not be revealed, the time required was by no means a fraction.
While Gongzi Jia was thinking about it, Bai Yan also took care of the food and grass first.
This day.
Bai Yan was sitting in the pavilion in the mansion. Two children beside him were fanning Bai Yan with leaf fans.
At this time, a young woman slowly came to Bai Yan.
"Gentleman!"
The woman greeted Bai Yan slowly.
When Bai Yan saw Master Xu, he turned around and asked a child to find Ye, who then asked Ye to get the things.
Master Xu, dressed in a green shirt and plain clothes, stood in the pavilion, full of doubts, but he did not ask any more questions, but stood obediently next to Bai Yan.
After a while.
Ye then led two newly recruited men over carrying two wooden boxes.
The men put the two wooden boxes on the wooden table and turned around to leave. Finally, they waited in the yard far away, and Bai Yan also asked the two children to leave.
After Master Xu watched everyone leave, he looked at the two wooden boxes. For some reason, he had a vague premonition in his heart.
Accompanied by a slight tremor in her delicate body.
"Open it and show it to her!"
After Bai Yan saw others leaving, he turned around and said.
Ye glanced at Master Xu, then stepped forward and opened the two wooden boxes, revealing two bloody heads inside.
If those two children were here, they would be so scared that they wet their pants.
"But the person you want to kill?"
Bai Yan looked at Master Xu.
Master Xu stepped forward. When he saw the two heads with his own eyes, he looked at the two faces that he would never forget in his life. His breathing was rapid and his eyes were filled with tears.
"yes!"
Master Xu said, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Master Xu was thinking, how wonderful it would be if my mother were still alive and could see these two heads!
"Mrs. Xu is quite famous in Handan. It is unexpected that she will not be left alive. I will send these two heads to your mother's grave as agreed."
Bai Yan said, motioning for Ye to take the two heads down.
Ye nodded, called the two men just now, and left with the wooden box.
Inside the pavilion.
Master Xu looked at the departing figures of Ye and the two men with tearful eyes. He slowly turned around and looked at Bai Yan. Then he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Bai Yan.
She knew how well Mrs. Xu, a member of the sword-making family, had extensive connections in Handan.
When King Zhao Xiaocheng and King Zhao Daoxiang were in power, they all asked Mrs. Xu to make swords for them, not to mention the powerful nobles and the knights and righteous men in the world.
The State of Zhao is still here.
Bai Yan would never be able to help her kill these two people as easily as she could with just a few words, and the price she would have to pay is probably unimaginable to her.
"In the future, Master Xu, I would like to be a gentleman and work for cattle and horses!"
Master Xu raised his head and looked at Bai Yan.
I thought that I don't know what year and month it would take until Zhao was destroyed before I could have a chance to take revenge.
I didn't expect to get the heads of two enemies now.
Now that her great revenge has been avenged, she is willing to be a slave in the future to repay Bai Yan's kindness.
"You go and rest first, and then just stay with me with peace of mind!"
Bai Yan looked at Gui holding the bamboo slips in the distance, stood up slowly, and asked Master Xu to stand up. Before leaving, he thought of something. Bai Yan turned to Master Xu and said, "If you meet your sweetheart in the future, tell me,
I will let you go then!"
After saying that, Bai Yan left the pavilion.
Master Xu listened to Bai Yan's words and stood there, looking at Bai Yan's leaving back with red and swollen eyes.
In the courtyard.
Bai Yan looked at the bamboo slips sent by Gui.
Meng Tian and Qiang You had led the army to meet with General Wang Jian. However, at Jingxing, facing Li Mu's persistence, the army still made no progress.
In the north, a great war broke out between the Yueshi and the Xiongnu in Monan. The Huns suffered more than 30,000 casualties. The Yueshi had the help of the Qin army, but they also suffered nearly 10,000 casualties.
The Huns have withdrawn to Mobei, and the territory of the Yueshi has expanded.
"Follow me to the study!"
Bai Yan said to Gui.
However, at this moment, another servant came hurriedly.
"Gentleman, someone from outside the mansion has brought a letter. Gentleman, please read it!"
The servant came to Bai Yan with a scroll of bamboo slips and handed it to Bai Yan.
Bai Yan took the bamboo slip, opened it and looked at the contents, then frowned slightly.
The bamboo slips did not say who he was, only that he had an appointment at Han Pavilion, so he would only know.
After reading this.
Bai Yan put away the bamboo slips.
The bamboo slips all knew that he had grain and millet, and even knew that he had met Gongzi Jia and Zhao Qiu. This man's power in Handan City was definitely extraordinary.
"Follow me out and bring more people with you!"
Bai Yan turned his head and said to Gui.
Gui nodded.
During this period, many heroes and martyrs visited, and the country of Zhao was suffering from drought, so countless men had no choice but to sacrifice their lives.
Nowadays, there is no shortage of rangers, retainers, and even hard-working followers in the mansion.
But Gui knew that there was usually no danger, and Bai Yan would never say anything about taking those people out.
Apparently the person who just sent the bamboo slips had a background that made Bai Yan feel in danger.
An hour later!
In Handan City, in front of a restaurant called Hange, the carriage slowly stopped at the door of the restaurant.
After the groom opened the curtain, Bai Yan stepped out of the carriage.
Behind the carriage were ten sword-wielding guards.
Bai Yan just stepped off the carriage and turned to his followers.
"Six people guard the door, four people follow me up!"
Bai Yan gave exaggerated instructions.
"Junzi Xu, the master of the family once told me that you don't have to worry about your safety. Please don't make any noise!"
Outside the restaurant, a man who had been waiting for a long time couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Bai Yan's actions, with a look of shame on his face.
Bai Yan heard the man's words, thought for a long time, and still looked back at the several subordinates with uneasiness.
"You guys just wait at the door of the restaurant. If you don't see me in an hour, kill me!"
Bai Yan told his subordinates, and then added: "As long as you kill the person who hurts me, I will be rewarded with ten gold coins!"
"promise!"
"promise!!"
The ten subordinates heard Bai Yan's instructions and quickly accepted the order.
At the restaurant.
In a private room, a man in his thirties was surrounded by six scantily clad women. Hearing the noise coming from outside the window, he suddenly froze on the spot, thinking who dared to say such a thing in this restaurant.
Then the man thought of something, his eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly ran to the window of the private room, opened the window and looked down.
When he saw the carriage leaving, a young boy in silk clothes followed his servant and walked towards the restaurant. The man looked ridiculous and full of disbelief, and then he covered his face with his hands.
"This is Xu Zixiao."
The man had never expected that Xu Zixiao would be such a timid person.
His original intention was to see Xu Zixiao secretly, but he never expected that the other party would actually bring so many people here.
How could such a movement be hidden from Gongzijia's ears and eyes!
This man in his thirties was full of helplessness.
"Before the matter is completed, we must not let Zhao Jia know that I, Guo Kai, have met Xu Zixiao, otherwise he will definitely come here and must change places!"
Thinking of this, the man frowned slightly and looked gloomy.
Dear friends, I will make an update tomorrow! It’s too late to send my mother-in-law home today.
