Zhao Qiu didn't understand that the old figure in Bai Yan's mansion must be Bai Yan's, and why she felt familiar looking at the old man here.
In doubt.
Zhao Qiu stayed where he was, finally looked at the maid in the mansion next to him, and slowly walked towards the old man.
Now after seeing that Xu Zixiao is Qin General Bai Yan, all previous plans have been shattered. She is trapped in a predicament and must seize every opportunity.
Since she was very familiar with that back figure, she had to find out the origin of this familiarity.
maybe.
This is also an opportunity!
In the courtyard.
Old Wei commanded the servants in the mansion and moved boxes of bamboo slips into the study. These bamboo slips were the work of his life. Among them were the Taigong's Six Taoists, which were most useful to Bai Yan, and the plain scripts that had not yet been written.
Although that boy Bai Yan is Tian Jin's disciple.
But no one has stipulated that Tian Jin’s disciples cannot learn from him and uphold his ideas and wisdom.
"Be careful and put the things on the wooden shelf in the study. I will take them out myself later!"
Old Wei looked at the slaves on his face and gave instructions.
Compared with the old appearance of Mr. Wei with messy hair and shabby clothes, now that Mr. Wei has no longer been hiding after following Bai Yan, he seems to have become a different person.
He looks clean and tidy, like a respected old man, but his temperament is even better.
But it's past habit.
Mr. Wei still stayed. For example, he always had a wine flask around his waist.
"These bamboo slips are enough for that boy to study for several years!"
Mr. Wei looked at his precious bamboo slips and couldn't help thinking.
After the turmoil over the robbery and sale subsided, Bai Yan, who was holding an important position in Yanmen at that time, had better settle down and study his books at his residence.
"Um?"
While thinking, Mr. Wei suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind.
Mr. Wei slowly turned his head. After all, those in front of him were his treasures. If anyone was worried about him, he had to be careful.
However, just as he turned around and looked at him, Mr. Wei couldn't help but feel surprised.
Don't talk about Mr. Wei at this moment.
Even Zhao Qiu, who was walking over, looked surprised when he saw Mr. Wei's face. His pretty face, which had not shown much change when he saw Bai Yan just now, showed an expression of astonishment.
At this moment, Zhao Qiu was full of doubts about whether his eyes were wrong or whether he was dazzled.
"Old sir!"
Zhao Qiu spoke instinctively.
She really couldn't believe that someone who her father, the entire Wang family, and the previous kings of Zhao could not invite would actually appear in Bai Yan's mansion at this moment.
As for the old man in front of her, Zhao Qiu, as the princess of Zhao Kingdom, would never admit her mistake. Not only had she seen him since she was a child, but she had also visited him several times since then. Unfortunately, she had only been able to meet him very few times.
This is Mr. Wei.
Why are you here with Qin General Bai Yan?
Zhao Qiu looked at Mr. Wei in front of him, his mind full of doubts, and then the young Bai Yan who was in the main hall just now appeared.
But no matter what, Zhao Qiu, who came back to his senses, still hurriedly prepared the ceremony.
"Shen Ji, meet the old gentleman!"
Zhao Qiu said politely to Wei Laoji, pretending to be serious and acting meticulously.
"Um, Shinji?"
Mr. Wei also came to his senses from the surprise on his face. When he saw Zhao Qiu performing the ceremony, when he heard Zhao Qiu's words.
first timing.
Mr. Wei was confused. Then he thought of something and frowned slightly.
"Um!"
Mr. Wei returned the favor to Zhao Qiu and was not in a hurry to reveal the identity of Zhao Qiu in front of him. After all, this was Bai Yan's mansion, and the entire mansion's guards were all Bai Yan's cronies.
If Zhao Qiu had a purpose, he wouldn't be able to get out.
After all, Bai Yan doesn't know Zhao Qiu's true identity, but as long as he speaks later, Zhao Qiu's identity will be exposed and he will stay here.
"Why are you here?"
After Wei Lao compiled the ceremony, he asked curiously.
Mr. Wei is naturally no stranger to the stunning Zhao Qiu, so he hopes that Zhao Qiu can tell the truth personally.
"Shen Ji, please ask the old gentleman to move!"
Zhao Qiu heard what Mr. Wei said and looked at Mr. Wei's expression. From the corner of his eye, he noticed the bamboo slips carried by the servants behind Mr. Wei.
The smart Zhao Qiu had already guessed something in his mind, and the expression on his face was a little complicated for a while.
As Zhao Qiu's words fell.
Several maids behind Zhao Qiu originally had orders from Bai Yan, but after seeing Mr. Wei, they finally did not stop them.
"Um!"
Mr. Wei nodded and then walked aside.
Zhao Qiu saw this and followed slowly.
After a while.
Arriving at the pavilion in the huge backyard, Mr. Wei asked the maids and servants to step back, and then turned to look at Zhao Qiu.
At this time, Zhao Qiu did not hide anything from Mr. Wei. After all, her identity was already known to Xu Zixiao or Bai Yan, and the purpose of approaching her was already like a joke.
Mr. Wei listened quietly, and then his expression became particularly wonderful.
Mr. Wei really didn't expect that a few months ago, that boy Bai Yan secretly went to Handan. Not only did he meet Zhao Qiu, but he later became a guest of Gongzi Jia. He was quite famous among all the anti-Qin forces.
"That boy!"
Mr. Wei not only shook his head, he thought he was casual enough, but he didn't expect that the young Bai Yan was more playful than him.
Inside the pavilion.
After Zhao Qiu finished speaking, he looked at Mr. Wei. Hearing Mr. Wei's smile, he still didn't know that the guess just now was true.
"Old sir, Zhao Qiu doesn't understand. Didn't the old gentleman decide not to serve in the Qin Dynasty at the beginning? Why now?"
Zhao Qiu couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart.
At this moment, Zhao Qiu's heart was unspeakably complicated. She knew very well about Mr. Wei in front of her. Not to mention Mr. Wei himself, it was the connections and connections behind Mr. Wei. If Mr. Wei were on Qin's side, Zhao would be able to stand up.
The chances are slim.
"I did say that I would not serve the Qin Dynasty, but this boy Bai Yan does not count!"
When Mr. Wei heard Zhao Qiu's words, he looked into the distance and spoke softly.
Thinking of Bai Yan's character and his origins from Qi State, Mr. Wei couldn't help but smile and shake his head with emotion.
When I left Qin State in the past, I never expected that one day in the future I would meet the young man walking on foot by a river with a sword on his back.
I recall that at that time, I threw the wine bottle into the river several times, and the young man helplessly picked it up for him.
With the breeze blowing.
Zhao Qiuman looked at Mr. Wei with confusion. Bai Yan was the chief of the Zuo Concubine of the Qin Kingdom. What did Mr. Wei mean by these words?
However, Mr. Wei did not explain much to Zhao Qiu.
Turned.
Mr. Wei looked at Zhao Qiu, who used to pretend to be charming, but was actually cold-hearted.
"Since that boy asked you to stay in the mansion, you should stay in the mansion for now. Even if you want to restore the Zhao Kingdom, you can't do it in a short time. Now that the Zhao Kingdom has been destroyed, there is no longer a young master Jia who can stand on his own in Dai County.
If you have the strength to do it, don’t worry in vain and stay in the mansion with peace of mind!"
Mr. Wei ordered.
Looking at Zhao Qiu with a pensive expression on his face, Mr. Wei naturally stopped worrying after knowing that Bai Yan knew Zhao Qiu's identity.
Therefore, Wei Lao persuaded Zhao Qiu for the sake of past friendship. Now that Zhao State has been destroyed, even with Zhao Bianqi and the Northern Army, they could not resist Qin State.
Now that most of Zhao's territory has been annexed by Qin, it is impossible for Gongzi Jia to establish himself as king alone.
Not to mention, only this place has experienced natural disasters and droughts.
Inside the pavilion.
Zhao Qiu came back from his thoughts after hearing Mr. Wei's words. After a few breaths, he nodded quietly.
"good."
In the main hall.
Bai Yan shouted at the sunset, accompanied by Wang Ben and Meng Tian who were both drunk, Yu Qi and Shen Yi were lying on the table, and the banquet was just over.
He looked at the messy dishes on several tables and the wine bottles lying on the floor.
Bai Yan called the servants and asked the servants in the mansion to clean up.
Then he asked the maid to help Wang Ben, Shen Yi and others leave the mansion, and ordered people to notify the four people's cronies and retinues to prepare the carriage.
Bai Yan was not stingy for not preparing a bed room in the mansion for the four of them to stay overnight.
But because of Mr. Wei’s existence!
Mr. Wei didn't want King Qin Yingzheng to know that he was in Bai Yan's mansion.
This is also the reason why Mr. Wei did not come to the banquet to drink here before.
Among the four, only Meng Tian has never met Mr. Wei. The other three, whether they are General Wang Ben, Yu clan Yu Qi, and Shen clan Shen Yi, have all met Mr. Wei.
Once you stay in the mansion and meet Mr. Wei, the news about Mr. Wei will definitely spread in the future.
At that time, it will go against Mr. Wei's original intention.
As for Shen Yi, Bai Yan would not worry about anything wrong with leaving "Shen Ji" alone. After knowing that Shen Ji was Zhao Qiu, Bai Yan already knew Shen Yi's purpose.
Leaving 'Shen Ji' alone was just following Shen Yi's plan. How could Shen Yi blame her? It was too late to breathe a sigh of relief.
After a while.
After the maid helped several people out of the mansion, Bai Yan also pretended to be drunk, and with the help of the maid, he went to the study room in the backyard to rest.
Master Xu had already warmed up the decoction and brought it in for Bai Yan to drink.
Although Bai Yan doesn't get drunk after drinking and recovers extremely quickly, that's just a matter of consciousness. Drinking too much is still bad for your health after all.
This soup, combined with the warming medicine that nourishes the body, is the warming and tonic medicine prepared by Master Xu for Bai Yan.
"Did the old gentleman bring those?"
On the mat in front of the wooden table, Bai Yan took a few sips of the decoction, turned his head, looked at the boxes of wooden boxes in the distance of the study, and then looked at Master Xu and asked.
"The old gentleman brought it!"
Master Xu clicks.
When Bai Yan turned his head to look at the wooden boxes and sighed so much, Master Xu looked at Bai Yan's side face and bit his thin lips slightly.
"General, it seems that Shen Ji knows the old gentleman just now!"
Master Xu said softly.
Just now she naturally met Shen Ji who stayed in the mansion, she was also a woman, but when she saw Shen Yi, even Master Xu couldn't help but be amazed.
Fortunately, although her appearance is slightly inferior to that of Shen Ji, she still has some uses and can stay with the general.
"Yeah! It's okay, I guessed it."
When Bai Yan heard Master Xu's words, he turned to look at Master Xu and said with a smile.
Even Lin Anshun was an apprentice brought up by Mr. Wei. With Mr. Wei's reputation and prestige, how could he not know Zhao Qiu, Princess of Zhao Kingdom?
Similarly, how could Zhao Qiu not meet Mr. Wei?
Bai Yan was not surprised at all.
On the other hand, looking at Master Xu who was a little embarrassed because of "snitching" in front of him, Bai Yan couldn't help but smile on his face.
Then, under Master Xu's embarrassed look, Bai Yan picked up the porcelain bowl in his hand and continued to drink the soup slowly, thinking about how to deal with Zhao Qiu.
