When Lu Qi and Tian Cong met, they saw each other.
Lu Qi walked over first and bowed his hands to Tian Cong in ceremony.
"Lu Qi, why are you here?"
Tian Cong saw Lu Qi and asked curiously.
Looking at the maternal cousin in front of him, Tian Cong suddenly remembered that Lu Qi had visited the mansion before when he went to Qi State.
At that time, Lu Qi seemed to have a lot of admiration for Bai Yan in his words.
Think of this.
Tian Cong thought again about this fat cousin who suddenly rose up in Yingchuan!
"Hehe! I have had many contacts with Bai Yan before! Lu Qi's ability to settle down in Yingchuan is indispensable without the help of General Bai Yan!"
Lu Qi looked at Tian Cong and explained with a smile.
For Tian Cong.
Lu Qi would not hide the things that Bai Yan had helped him. After all, these things could be known with a little inquiry.
"No wonder!"
Tian Cong looked at Lu Qi: "If I had known that you and Bai Yan had a good relationship, I wouldn't have bothered to make this trip!"
Tian Cong looked at the boxes of wooden boxes carried by the servants in the distance.
Lu Qi smiled, but he did not answer this question.
"I was drunk yesterday."
Tian Cong thought of his little sister and looked at Lu Qi: "I want to see Feiyan first!"
"Hmm? Feiyan is here too?"
When Lu Qi heard Tian Cong's words and learned that Tian Feiyan was also in the mansion, his chubby face was stunned.
Lu Qi already knew about Tian Feiyan and Bai Yan.
Think of this.
Lu Qi couldn't help but look at Tian Cong with strange eyes.
My cousin doesn't know yet, but Bai Yan is Qi Yan, and it was his aunt who drove Yan out of Qi State in the past.
"Why do you show this expression? What's the matter? Could it be that Bai Yan likes beauty?"
Tian Cong nodded, but when he saw Lu Qi's eyes, he frowned slightly.
If Bai Yan is a person who likes beauty very much, then he must find a way to leave as soon as possible.
"Cousin, don't worry about Feiyan's safety! Lu Qi understands Bai Yan as a human being and dares to guarantee with his life that Bai Yan will never harm Feiyan in the slightest!"
Lu Qi raised his hands to Tian Cong and explained with a smile.
Hear what Lu Qi said.
Tian Cong was a little surprised, but because of this, he felt relieved about Bai Yan's precautions.
Judging from Lu Qi's appearance, Bai Yan's character can be trusted.
"Since my cousin is here, Lu Qi will also go with my cousin to visit!"
Lu Qi put down his hand and looked at Tian Cong with a smile.
In Lu Qi's heart, Tian Cong was definitely his backer and the biggest supporter in the Qi State. However, in the case of Bai Yan, after Lu Qi knew the ins and outs of the matter, he knew that it was better for him to side with Bai Yan.
First, Tian Feiyan was secretly helping Bai Yan, and his uncle doted on Tian Feiyan a lot. How could Lu Qi not know this?
The second thing is that Lu Qi could imagine that if his uncle knew that it was Lu Qi who helped Bai Yan deliver letters to Feiyan in the past two years, his uncle would not let him off lightly.
There is also Bai Yan's character and Bai Yan's help to him in Yingchuan County.
Take these into consideration.
Naturally, Lu Qi would not take the initiative to tell his uncle Tian Ding, and his cousins Tian Cong and Bai Yan's true identities.
After a while.
In the guest room of the mansion, Lu Qi followed Tian Cong and saw Tian Feiyan.
After bowing his hands in greeting, Lu Qi couldn't help but sigh.
The last time I met my cousin Tian Feiyan, Korea was still there. Now when I meet again, not only has Korea been destroyed, but even Handan, the state of Zhao, has been besieged by the Qin army led by Wang Jian.
After this, Tian Feiyan has grown up so much.
Lu Qi's once untouched thoughts began to become more active as Bai Yan made more and more achievements for the Qin State, and his status and reputation increased.
Not to mention that Lu Qi knew that Bai Yan still had the jade pendant of his deceased aunt.
"When I see Bai Yan later, I will speak up and tell you about our relationship. I believe Bai Yan will let you live in the house."
After Tian Cong saw that his little sister was safe and sound, he nodded in his heart.
It seems that Bai Yan is indeed a trustworthy person as Lu Qi said.
"Um!"
Lu Qi was a little surprised when he heard Tian Cong's words, but thought of something, glanced at Tian Feiyan, and then couldn't help but laugh.
"That's fine!"
Lu Qi said to Tian Cong.
Tian Feiyan, on the other hand, looked at her brother angrily, wondering how she could hide his little thoughts from her.
Originally, according to the plan, he should stay in a small house in the city, but he never thought that his brother Tian Cong got drunk yesterday and ended up staying in the mansion for the night, which made it difficult to go out to live anymore.
"Bai Yan also drank a lot yesterday, and he probably still hasn't woken up from his sleep!"
Tian Cong felt his little sister's gaze, as if he wanted to excuse himself for yesterday, and seemed to be telling his little sister that he was sensible.
Tian Feiyan ignored his brother.
Next.
When Tian Cong brought Lu Qi and Tian Feiyan to see Bai Yan, according to the plan, Tian Cong informed Bai Yan about the relationship between Lu Qi and him.
Bai Yan showed a hint of surprise, and then he seemed to have guessed what Tian Cong meant. Bai Yan spoke very considerately and asked Lu Qi to stay in the house, giving Lu Qi and Tian Cong an opportunity to reminisce.
In the study room.
Before Bai Yan's business was finished, he asked the maid to pour tea for Lu Qi, Tian Cong and Tian Feiyan.
Bai Yan looked at the bamboo slips in his hand and frowned slightly.
In this letter from Handan.
Gongzi Jia led part of the Zhao clan to break out of the encirclement of the Qin army and now headed north to Dai.
Looking at what was written above, although Wang Jian didn't say it explicitly, how could Bai Yan, who had been to Handan and met Gongzi Jia, not know about it.
This is obviously the result of Wang Jian privately reaching some agreement with Gongzi Jia after Guo Kai.
Moreover, this agreement has already been approved by Ying Zheng.
Otherwise, Gongzijia would never be able to break out of the siege.
Think of this.
Bai Yan looked calmly at Tian Cong on the other side of the study room.
Now that the State of Zhao has been destroyed, as more and more Zhao Tuhua enter the territory of the State of Qin, the States of Yan and Qi, which were not adjacent to the State of Qin, are now bordering the State of Qin.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin once sent troops to besiege Handan for three years, and was finally relieved by the coalition forces of various countries. Obviously, Yingzheng was still afraid of the situation and worried about repeating the same mistake.
after all.
The longer the siege of Handan is delayed, the greater the variables will be.
Ying Zheng wants to destroy Zhao as soon as possible!
When Gongzi Jia left Handan and went to Daijun, it must be related to Handan City. I don't know if Yao Jia also came into contact with Gongzi Jia when he was in Handan.
In the study room.
After Bai Yan read all the bamboo slips and dealt with all the important matters, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Bai Yan, Tian Cong and Lu Qi laughed and talked.
During the ensuing conversation, suddenly one of Tian Cong's servants hurriedly entered the study with a letter and handed it to Tian Cong.
"grown ups!"
The servant came to Tian Cong and handed the bamboo slips to Tian Cong with both hands.
Tian Cong reached out and took the bamboo slip. After reading the contents of the bamboo slip, his expression became solemn.
After a moment, Tian Cong turned to look at Bai Yan.
"General Bai, I'm sorry to disturb you, but Tian Cong plans to take my little sister back to Qi tomorrow!"
Tian Cong raised his hands to Bai Yan and said.
"I came to Shanwu on this trip. Thank you so much for General Bai Yan's hospitality. If General Bai goes to Qi in the future, Tian Cong will definitely hold a banquet to welcome General Bai!"
Tian Cong finished speaking.
Not only Lu Qi, but also Tian Feiyan were very surprised. They didn't expect his brother Tian Cong to be in such a hurry.
For a moment, both of them looked at the bamboo slips just now curiously.
Tian Cong left in such a hurry, I'm afraid it has something to do with the scroll of bamboo slips just now!
"so fast!"
Bai Yan frowned.
Although I know that Tian Cong is so anxious, it must be related to the content in the bamboo slips. There must be something going on that makes Tian Cong so anxious.
But he knew it, and due to emotions and reasons, Bai Yan had no reason to ask Tian Cong about the contents of the bamboo slips.
He looked calmly at the girl in uniform behind the wooden table.
I thought about what would happen if she came to Yanmen for just one day.
He heard that there were many places in Yanmen, but he didn't have time to take her there yet.
"Sir Tian just came yesterday and will leave in a hurry tomorrow. Bai Yan is worried that word will spread. Everyone says that I, Bai Yan, treat others poorly. Can Mr. Tian stay for two more days and allow Bai Yan to show his friendship as a landlord?"
Bai Yan looked at Tian Cong and smiled softly.
As soon as Bai Yan's words came out, the one who reacted most sensitively was Lu Qi.
Lu Qi looked at Bai Yan in surprise, and then looked at Tian Feiyan on the other side.
Tian Feiyan didn't expect that Bai Yan would ask to stay without hesitation. Of course she knew why. She couldn't help but look at the side of the young man's face. Then she felt Lu Qi's gaze. His expression was a little unnatural and a little...
Guilty.
"After all, Tian Cong has an official position and does not dare to stay for a long time. General Bai Yan does not need to worry about what others say. If there is an opportunity in the future, Tian Cong and General Bai will definitely get together. When the time comes, the rumors will be broken!"
Tian Cong raised his hands to Bai Yan and said.
Tian Cong told Bai Yan that after all, he was a senior official of the Qi State and was coming to Yanmen. Tian Cong came as a private person and was destined not to stay long.
Moreover, Tian Cong's purpose in coming to Yanmen was to meet and make friends with Bai Yan. Now that he had met him, he naturally wanted to leave as soon as possible and return to Qi.
"That's all! Then today, while Mr. Lu is here, Bai Yan will order someone to prepare a banquet, and then have a drink with Mr. Tian Cong!"
When Bai Yan heard Tian Cong's words, he didn't force him to stay anymore, but looked at Tian Cong with a smile and suggested that since he was leaving, he must have a drink and talk today.
"General Bai's kindness, Tian Cong dare not say goodbye! I will have a drink with General Bai today!"
Tian Cong returned the gift with his hand.
Thinking that Lu Qi was here and Bai Yan was also drunk, Tian Cong had no other concerns, so he did not refuse.
Moreover, Tian Cong also knew that since he came to make friends with Bai Yan, he suddenly had to leave in a hurry. Now only drinking can make the relationship between the two better. Otherwise, he would be really worried that Bai Yan would think that he, Tian Cong, is arrogant.
.
After a while.
In the main hall of the mansion, Lu Qi, Bai Yan, and Tian Cong were drinking and talking.
After Tian Feiyan ate something, he felt bored and left first.
A few hours passed.
When it was getting dark, Tian Feiyan heard the knock on the door again. When he came to the door, Tian Feiyan opened the door and immediately smelled the pungent smell of alcohol.
He looked at the young man with a red face and staring at him blankly.
Tian Feiyan, who was now much older than when he was in Linzi, Qi State, could vaguely feel something. His heartbeat was uncontrollably fast, and he lowered his head slightly on his pretty fair face.
At the door.
Bai Yan looked at Tian Feiyan, who was all dressed up in front of him.
"I originally wanted to take you to see the scenery of Yanmen!"
Bai Yan thought for a long time before finally holding back this sentence. Even Bai Yan didn't know why he became stupid when standing in front of the girl.
Bai Yan only knew that when he recalled Tian Feiyan's lonely appearance in Linzi, Qi State, he really wanted to take a trip out of Tian Feiyan and take Tian Feiyan to visit Yanmen.
"Next time!"
Tian Feiyan said softly.
"Okay! Come back next time I have a chance, and I'll take you to see it again!"
When Bai Yan heard Tian Feiyan's voice, he instinctively thought of the current situation in Yanmen. The people were displaced and the ten houses were empty. It was indeed a terrible sight.
Therefore, Bai Yan also made a secret decision in his heart.
Next time Tian Feiyan comes again, he must show Tian Feiyan a different Yanmen.
"My brother left in a hurry because of Yan Dan!"
Tian Feiyan thought of something, suddenly raised his head, glanced at Bai Yan, and then whispered what he had just seen on the bamboo slips.
Tian Cong will indeed not let Bai Yan know about Yan Dan.
But as Tian Cong's little sister, she just asked the servant for the bamboo slips, and of course the servant would not refuse to give it to her.
So she already knows.
The reason why the elder brother Tian Cong was anxious to return was that Yan Dan had arrived in Qi State and had important matters waiting for him at his house.
"Yan Dan? Yeah!"
Bai Yan was a little surprised when he heard Tian Feiyan's words, but he still nodded.
Accompany the words.
The atmosphere gradually became quieter. Two people were resting on the threshold of a door. Tian Feiyan stood inside the door with his head lowered.
Bai Yan stood outside the door, not knowing what to say, but looked at the girl in front of him from time to time.
In the eyes of outsiders.
Bai Yan is a bit dull in terms of emotions, but only Bai Yan knows in his heart that the girl will leave tomorrow, and I don't know when we will meet next time.
No matter how much you say, I won’t be able to finish it tonight!
Before the girl in front of him came, he originally thought that his life would be to take care of trivial matters for the Qin State in Yanmen day after day.
Never thought about it.
The appearance of the girl surprised him and caused ripples in his life.
The second day.
When Tian Cong woke up, the servants and retinues had already packed up. After Tian Cong had breakfast, Bai Yan and Lu Qi sent Tian Cong and Tian Feiyan out of the mansion.
Bai Yan and Tian Cong exchanged greetings, and out of the corner of their eyes they couldn't help but look at Tian Feiyan, who was walking behind Tian Cong, accompanied by the maid, as he stepped onto the carriage.
After some polite greetings.
Tian Cong also said goodbye and left, getting on the carriage.
Bai Yan stood there, watching the Qi cavalry escort the carriage and slowly move away from the city.
Turning his head, Bai Yan suddenly saw Lu Qi looking at him with a smirk on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Yan asked curiously.
Lu Qi stepped forward and came to Bai Yan's side. He first glanced at the carriage that disappeared at the corner of the street, and then looked at Bai Yan.
"You have helped me so much. If you really want to marry Feiyan, I will definitely help you find a way to match you!"
Lu Qi whispered, giving Bai Yan assurance.
"Um?"
Before Bai Yan could react, he saw Lu Qi looking at him with disgust: "Don't deny it, it's just Tian Cong who doesn't know your true identity and hasn't thought about it! In my eyes, how is it possible?
I still can’t see the relationship between you and Feiyan! Only you two don’t know!”
Lu Qi finished.
Bai Yan felt a little embarrassed.
"But I can't guarantee it. After all, my uncle is from the Qi clan, not to mention that Feiyan will definitely be a stunning beauty in the future. With the extent of my uncle's doting on Feiyan, I'm afraid he plans to be among the royal clan members of the princes.
When searching, you must be mentally prepared!”
Lu Qi first gave Bai Yan a thorough explanation.
The Bai Yan of today is no longer the Bai Yan of that time. As long as his true identity is not revealed, the Bai Yan of today is completely worthy of being in the Tian Mansion.
However, Lu Qi also knew that his uncle Tian Ding was a very powerful official in Qi State, and there were countless people who wanted to curry favor with his uncle and marry him.
It may still be difficult for Bai Yan to assume the position of the chief of Zuo Shu of the Qin Kingdom.
"A relative of the Wang family in the vassal states?"
When Bai Yan heard Lu Qi's words, he couldn't help but think of the Yan Dan mentioned by Tian Feiyan yesterday and the Wei Jia he had met before.
Clan member of the Wang family!
Thinking of this, Bai Yan came to his senses. When Gongzi Jia went to Qi, he must be thinking of ways to deal with Qin.
It doesn't take long.
I'm afraid Yan Dan will start planning an assassination.
My wife ate at the buffet yesterday and her fever has relapsed today. I have some plans to catch up on the manuscript!
