As the origin of Longxi in the far west, where birds and mice share caves, the Weishui River has always been the mother river of the Qin State, carrying the traditional beliefs of the Qin people.
This tributary stretches for thousands of miles, from west to east, passing through many important places in the Qin State, and finally passes through Xianyang.
The Qin people have lived in Yong for a long time. Whether it was Yongcheng, which was the longest capital of the Qin people, or later Xianyang, or other periods, the Qin people believed that future generations should drink horses from the river.
Therefore, the status of the Weishui River in the eyes of the Qin people is far beyond comparison with other rivers.
Beside the river.
With the support of Xi, Mr. Bao slowly stepped down from the carriage. The servants in the mansion had already brought the food and utensils for sacrifice and blessing to the riverside.
Seeing Bao's arrival, the servant put the prepared rice, millet, and some meat into small pits burning with flames in four directions.
For worship.
From the powerful nobles and nobles to the king of a country, down to the common people, servants and maids, they all attach great importance to him.
There are two types of Bao clan's sacrifices, one is the Qin sacrifice, and the other is the Korean sacrifice. Because the customs of sacrifice are different, there are some differences.
Just when the Bao family was praying for Bai Yan.
Suddenly, the carriage slowly stopped in the distance, and the people getting off it were obviously coming here. Seeing this, the servants looked at the man warily.
Even Xi came to Bao's side.
"Do not be nervous!"
When Bao saw the incoming person, he immediately comforted Xi and the others after seeing the person's appearance clearly.
At this moment, Bao Shi sighed in his heart.
The most worrying thing happened. As a member of the Korean clan and the wife of Han Ling, the Bao family had met Yao Jia and was deeply impressed by this Qin State minister.
After all, it is no secret that Yao Jia traveled to various countries for Qin.
Bao Shi thought of this and slowly stepped forward.
Seeing this, Xi quickly followed.
On the banks of the Weishui River.
Seeing Yao Jia approaching, Bao also walked towards Yao Jia. When he got closer, Bao slowly bowed.
"Hello, I have met Lord Shangqing!"
As a former general's wife, whether it was her birth or her subsequent status, Bao's etiquette and temperament were destined to be far inferior to other women.
"Yao Jia, meet Madam!"
Yao Jia looked at Bao Shi in front of him, who was dressed in Qin clothes, and raised his hands in a bow.
It's funny to say that Yao Jia, the Qin State's top minister, was actually wearing cloth clothes by the Weishui River in Xianyang.
And once the general's wife, the most famous and beautiful woman in South Korea was now wearing Qin clothes and standing on the banks of the Weishui River in Xianyang, Qin State.
"It was rumored in the past that Han Ling's wife burned herself in her mansion when the city of Xinzheng was captured. Unexpectedly, Yao Jia was lucky enough to meet his wife in Xianyang today."
After the ceremony, Yao Jia looked at Bao Shi and said with emotion.
When the city of Xinzheng was destroyed, many generals were thinking about Han Ling's first wife Bao Shi. After all, many generals were familiar with Bao Shi's reputation.
When they heard that the Bao clan burned their house and died for love, many generals felt regret in their hearts.
Who can imagine.
The Bao clan was not dead at all, but was brought out by Bai Yan and placed in Xianyang incognito.
"There were rumors in the past, but they were just a wise move to protect yourself. I hope you can keep it a secret!"
When Bao heard Yao Jia's words, he said softly, raised his beautiful eyes and glanced at Yao Jia.
There are very few people who have seen her, let alone in Xianyang.
But she happened to meet Yao Jia, who knew her.
At the moment, the Bao family only hopes that Yu Yao Jia can show his favor and pretend that he has never met her, although the possibility is very small.
"It's natural. I have a relationship with General Bai, and now they are colleagues, so naturally I won't let it out."
Yao Jia saw Bao Shi.
To be honest, as the Qin State's top minister, he was highly valued by King Yingzheng of Qin. Not to mention that when he went to other countries, officials from other countries gave him gold and beauties. Even King Yingzheng of Qin gave him more than 20 beauties.
But compared with the Bao family in front of him, even Yao Jia couldn't help but sigh, it's hard for a man in the world not to be moved by the woman in front of him.
Even he could hardly suppress the greed in his heart when he saw Bao Shi.
Fortunately, Yao Jia finally calmed down.
It was not that Yao Jia was a noble man. If Yao Jia was a noble man, he would not have stolen from Wei and then been expelled as a minister of Zhao.
What Yao Jia was afraid of was Bai Yan.
Now that Bai Yan is no longer the husband-and-lord general he once was, how could Yao Jia, as an important minister around Ying Zheng, not feel how much Ying Zheng values Bai Yan in his heart?
Whether it was when they destroyed Han, or when they fought with the Huns and the Yueshi in Shangjun, or when they attacked Zhao and fought against Li Mu, now they are in trouble in Handan, Zhao State.
These incidents are destined to make Ying Zheng pay special attention to Bai Yan in the future, possibly even as much as Meng Shi.
Under such circumstances, even if he informed Ying Zheng about the Bao family, Ying Zheng would never really blame Bai Yan for keeping a woman secretly, and might even blame Bai Yan for his lust.
Trust Bai Yan more.
Yao Jia knows Ying Zheng too well.
So now, no matter how tempting Bao is and how tempting he is, he still has to consider whether he should offend Bai Yan.
If Han Ling was really killed by Bai Yan, then add on the alienation plan offered before.
Thinking that he would be hated by a capable general who was favored by the king in the future, he always wanted revenge.
Yao Jia finally calmed down.
No matter how greedy he is, it still depends on whether he will survive. Now he is already the Qin State's top minister. His power and status are respected and admired by the world. There is no need to conflict with the king's favorite general because of a stunning beauty.
This Bai Yan is not Han Fei.
In the Qin State, Bai Yan had the Bai family, Hu family, Sima family and other noble families and connections as his foundation, plus the favor of the king.
"Hello, thank you sir!"
Beside the river, Mr. Bao was a little surprised when he heard Yao Jia's words, and he felt relieved in his heart.
"Yao Jia has only one thing to ask for. Please ask your wife to help Yao Jia clear up his doubts. What exactly happened in Xinzheng?"
Yao Jia looked at the Bao clan in front of him, raised his hands and asked, "Was Han Ling's death at the hands of Chief Zuo?"
Beside the river.
As the breeze blew by, some of Bao's long hair fluttered slightly.
After listening to Yao Jia's words, Bao looked at Yao Jia, his beautiful eyes full of hesitation. It took him a long time to understand that whether he said it or not, Yao Jia had already guessed it.
"yes!"
Bao Shi said to Yao Jia.
Later, under the watchful eye of Yao Jia, Bao told Yao Jia the general process of killing Han Ling.
Yao Jia looked in a daze as he listened to Bao's words.
It is indeed Bai Yan!
Yao Jia couldn't believe that Bai Yan actually did so many things on that rainy night, and even personally sneaked into the general's mansion and killed Han Ling with a sword.
Thinking of Bai Yan's young appearance at that time, when he was in Xinzheng, he never dreamed that Bai Yan's methods were so powerful.
"I hope Lord Yao won't tell anyone. After all, Lord Yao was there at the time. The world will definitely think that Han Ling's death was planned by Lord Yao!"
Bao's words brought Yao Jia back to his senses.
Yao Jia couldn't understand the meaning of Bao's words and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
But Yao Jia can also understand.
After all, Bao didn't know how much Ying Zheng valued Bai Yan now.
"It's natural! Madam, don't worry."
Yao Jia looked at Bao Shi who was saluting, and also raised his hands to salute.
After understanding what happened, Yao Jia had no intention of staying. After the ceremony, he said goodbye and left.
If I see Bao Shi today, I will pretend I have never seen him before.
Instead of offending Bai Yan, it is better to let Bai Yan owe him a favor. Maybe this favor will be of great use in the future.
This is the case among noble families.
It was the same with him and Li Si at the beginning.
Beside the river.
Xi knelt timidly in front of Bao Shi, with regret on his face.
"Madam, it's all Xi's fault."
After knowing that it was him who opened the curtain and let Yao Jia see Bao, Xi felt so guilty that she shed tears.
"I don't blame you! If I didn't want to pray for blessings, how could I have met him."
Seeing Xi's regretful look, Bao said softly.
After letting the stream rise, Bao looked at the carriage in which Yao Jia was sitting in the distance, leaving towards the distance.
At this moment, Mrs. Bao also felt a little regretful. If she hadn't wanted to pray, how could she have been accidentally met by Yao Jia.
She didn't expect to meet Yao Jia in Xianyang.
Yao Jia was willing to pretend that she hadn't seen it, which surprised her, but she wanted to inform Bai Yan of this matter in a letter as soon as possible.
Think of this.
Along with a hint of worry.
Bao returned to the riverside again, knelt on the ground, closed his eyes, and prayed for Bai Yan, hoping that God would protect Bai Yan and be safe.
