In the mansion, Bai Yan was in the study, handling Yanmen affairs.
"General, give you a candle!"
The woman's soft voice came, Bai Yan raised his head and saw Master Xu walking over, holding a candle in his hand.
Listen to Master Xu's words.
Bai Yan turned his head and looked at the wooden window beside him that made a slight sound.
Bai Yan stood up, passed by Master Xu, then came to the door, reached out and opened the door.
The moment he opened the door, the fierce wind howled in. Bai Yan's clothes and the huge cuffs of his official uniform kept fidgeting back and forth, and the long hair on his shoulders fluttered.
Looking at the gray and black sky.
“It’s finally going to rain in Yanmen!”
Bai Yan sighed with emotion. Before he could remember his feelings, he suddenly thought of something and quickly closed the door.
As the door closes.
Bai Yan turned his head and saw that the room, which had been a little bright before, had returned to darkness again.
See the situation.
Bai Yan smiled sheepishly and looked at Master Xu with a sneer.
He didn't expect the wind to be so strong just now. He originally thought it was the wind coming from the other direction, so he didn't open the window. He didn't expect the wind to be so strong after opening the door.
"General, I'll light the candle again!"
Master Xu saw Bai Yan's gaze, lowered his head and said softly.
As a maid, Master Xu would naturally not blame Bai Yan. What's more, when seeing Bai Yan's sly smile, even other people would not be really angry, but would just laugh it off.
With the candles lit again.
Master Xu came to the wooden table again with the candle lamp and placed it on the wooden table in front of Bai Yan.
In Master Xu's eyes, since the old man brought a large number of bamboo slips from nowhere, the general was either dealing with important matters in Yanmen or studying the bamboo slips in his study.
In short, from then on, the general rarely left the mansion.
"General, why don't you go take a look inside the city today?"
Master Xu stood next to Bai Yan, looked at Bai Yan who continued to study the bamboo slips, and asked curiously.
Bai Yan looked at Master Xu with some doubts.
"Why should we go to the city to see it?"
Bai Yan asked.
After finishing speaking, Bai Yan saw Master Xu, who had always been timid, not lowering his head for the rare moment.
"General, now the people in Shanwu City are crying with joy when they see that it is going to rain heavily, waiting for it to rain. At this moment, the streets in the city are full of Zhao people, and countless people are secretly spreading the news that it is the general who has arrived.
Gate, killing all those who have lost all their conscience, so God opened his eyes and brought rain to Yanmen, and the people said that it must have been those people who had lost all their conscience, and that is why Yanmen suffered from drought year after year."
Master Xu looked at Bai Yan with beautiful eyes. There was excitement and joy in his eyes.
If you want to ask about the look in someone's eyes that admires them, then Master Xu's look at Bai Yan at this moment is the best explanation.
Looking at the young Bai Yan.
When Master Xu thought about what the people in the city were saying about the general, Master Xu couldn't help but feel excited.
Since coming to Shanwu, Master Xu has seen with his own eyes that the people have always been very resistant to the generals who are descendants of the Bai family. They have always said all kinds of bad things in private. Until the robbery and selling incident shocked the entire Yanmen, rumors spread
It has become less now, but that's all.
After the robbery and sale, the general offended the entire noble clan.
On one side were the people of Zhao who did not express their gratitude to the general, and on the other were many nobles who were frightened.
Many times even Master Xu thought that the general was not worth it.
Now that he heard the words of the people in the city, the unhappiness that had been blocking his heart finally dissipated. How could Master Xu be unhappy and not excited?
"I don't have that much ability!"
Bai Yan couldn't help laughing when he heard Master Xu's words.
Others don't know, but Bai Yan knows that the problem of rain can be solved by killing people, and this rain is probably not just in Yanmen County.
The people of Zhao State don't know this.
In the eyes of the people of Zhao State, the sky they look up to is everything, even if it rains.
"."
Master Xu heard Bai Yan's words and was a little disappointed when he saw that Bai Yan had no intention of leaving the mansion.
Master Xu wished that Bai Yan could go outside the mansion and listen to the gratitude of the people in the city to Bai Yan.
Half an hour later.
Along with the roaring thunder gradually sounded in the sky, accompanied by lightning flashing from time to time.
Heavy rain comes unexpectedly.
It came very quickly. Bai Yan and Xu, who were in the study, suddenly heard the sound of rushing, getting louder and louder, and after a few breaths it turned into a heavy rain.
The wind has stopped.
Bai Yan drank the tea that Master Xu poured for him and looked at the bamboo slips. He didn't pay much attention to the roar of the thunderstorm next to his ears.
When he knew it was going to rain, Bai Yan had already ordered Chai to lead the soldiers to distribute grain and millet to the people of Zhao.
As long as this rain does not last for many days, the people of Zhao will be fine.
Looking at the bamboo slip in his hand.
The contents of Taigong's Six Tao are easy for Quan Tao to understand, but the others are quite profound. If you want to fully understand them, you will need not only the teachings of Mr. Wei, but also Bai Yan's own insights.
Books are dead, people are alive.
Bai Yan knew that some things could be worked around.
Feeling a little tired.
Bai Yan put down the bamboo slips and rested for a while. At this moment, Master Xu stepped forward, quietly stretched out his small white hands, and gently rubbed both sides of Bai Yan's head.
Bai Yan closed his eyes and enjoyed Master Xu's little hands.
Previously, the nobles visited his home and sent dozens of women, including countless outstanding and beautiful ones, but Bai Yan never brought one with him.
The only one who has been by Bai Yan's side is Master Xu.
The relationship between Bai Yan and Master Xu is very complicated, but it is enough to make people trust him without any scruples.
When Master Xu rescued Bai Yu and detoxified Bai Yu, Bai Yan promised Master Xu to kill two people for Master Xu. Later, he did it himself and sent their heads to Master Xu.
If it ended here and it was just a transaction, Bai Yan would not be as close as he is now if he keeps Master Xu by his side.
Later, after the murder, Bai Yan was retaliated by Mrs. Xu. Not only was he ambushed and killed, but he was also almost poisoned to death. From here on, the relationship between Bai Yan and Master Xu took a big step forward.
In the end, it was Master Xu who detoxified Bai Yan.
"General, Xianyang edict!"
Suddenly, the voice of a confidant came from outside the study.
Bai Yan raised his head.
Master Xu also put away his hand at this time.
"Come in!"
Bai Yan opened his mouth and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the confidant wearing a bamboo hat, covered with rain, opening the door.
When the confidant entered the study, there was also a Qin official in official uniform following behind him. Looking at his attire, this official in his twenties knew that he was a pedestrian just like Tai Jing at the beginning.
Generally, such officials would take Qin officials with them to deliver some urgent and important edicts to the place in person.
Bai Yan stood up slowly.
He stepped forward and bowed his hands in front of the official.
"Jing Shi pays homage to Zuo Shuchang!"
The officials also hurriedly saluted Bai Yan, and then took out the imperial edict that they had been guarding from their arms.
"Chief Zuo, this is the edict issued by the King of Xianyang Palace himself!"
Jing Shi said to Bai Yan. After Bai Yan nodded, he slowly opened the edict in his hand.
"Wang Zhao, ordered Zuo Shu Chang Bai Yan to set off today and lead his cavalry back to Xianyang!"
Jing Shi read the edict in a simple sentence, and then handed the edict to Bai Yan.
Bai Yan looked thoughtful. After receiving the edict, he looked at the contents, and then looked at Wang Yin. After confirming that it was correct, he returned the favor to Jing Shi.
Real scene.
Mi's surname was Jing's family. From the name, Bai Yan knew clearly that this was an official from a foreign relative. In the Qin State, it was commonly known as the Chu family.
"This trip has been bumpy, Mr. Jing has been tired all the way!"
After Bai Yan finished speaking, he turned to look at Master Xu: "Go and ask the servants in the mansion to prepare two banquets. Bai Yan wants to entertain Lord Jing!"
When Master Xu heard Bai Yan's words, he nodded quickly, bowed, and then left the study.
In the study room.
Jing Shi saw this scene and watched Master Xu leave without stopping him.
Then looking at Bai Yan, Jing Shi smiled and continued talking to Bai Yan.
After a while.
When Jing Shi and Bai Yan went to the main hall to drink and talk together.
In a room in the mansion, Master Xu, under Bai Yan's instructions, took the edict that Jingshi had just brought and handed it to Mr. Wei.
Mr. Wei looked at the contents of the edict.
After putting it away, Mr. Wei returned the edict to Master Xu and watched Master Xu turn around and leave.
"Xianyang!"
Mr. Wei listened to the heavy rain outside the window and realized that there was no scorching heat, only the refreshing autumn feeling brought by the heavy rain.
Recalling the edict just now, Wei Lao knew clearly that Ying Zheng was preparing to come to Handan, Zhao State.
As for the fact that there was no news about Bai Yan's appointment in this edict, Mr. Wei was not surprised. After all, when the edict was issued, the matter of looting and selling Yanmen had not yet been sent to Xianyang.
"When I return to Xianyang, I don't know if Bai Yan will be in trouble!"
Mr. Wei frowned slightly.
These are all Bai Yan's variables.
It was also the most unstable situation when he was in Yanmen for Bai Yan after Bai Yan left.
Bai Yan is not in Yanmen.
Secretly, someone will definitely want to take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Qi State Linzi.
In a small garden, Yan's father and Shi were preparing the grain and millet for the autumn harvest. After all, taxes had to be paid, otherwise the couple would be guilty.
After a year of busy work, at the time of harvest, things are naturally a little busy.
not far away.
A lame man, supported by a woman, looked at this scene at the wooden door, his eyes full of complexity.
Then looking at the woman accompanying him, the man felt a little relieved in his eyes.
"Dad, I was in Linzi before. If you have a chance, please help Shou'er say thank you!"
Shui Shou looked at his father and spoke softly.
"good!"
When Yan's father heard what his eldest son said, he pondered and nodded.
Yan's father knew that if it hadn't been for Tian Feiyan, his eldest son Shui Shou would have been hard-pressed to come back alive.
This kindness.
Whether it's the eldest son, Shui Shou, or their family, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to pay it back in this life.
"If you can't see me this time, just wait until Yan'er comes back, and then let Yan'er go and thank you in person!"
Father Yan looked at his eldest son.
Although Yan's father didn't know why and when Yan'er met the daughter of the high-ranking Tian family.
But since Tian Fu and Tian Feiyan said that they knew Yan'er, no matter what happens in the future, when Yan'er comes back, he will have to let Yan'er personally thank his brother for anything he says.
"Um!"
Shui Shou heard his father's words and nodded.
Looking at his disabled thigh and recalling the appearance of his younger brother, Shui Shou's eyes turned red.
If Zhongdi saw him like this, he would definitely try his best to report it to the officials and try every means to find justice for him.
By the time.
No matter what I say, I will stop him. I must know that this adult cannot be offended by his family.
In the small garden.
After a long time, wait until everything is done.
After Yan's father gave some instructions to the family, he left Xiaoyuan and headed for Linzi City.
And in Linzi, the capital of Qi State.
As the most prosperous and bustling place in the entire world, and also the most populous place, in a city that has not experienced war for decades, there is a huge mansion.
Tian Cong, who had been promoted to a doctor in the state of Qi, was discussing Yan Dan with his father Tian Ding in the study room of the mansion.
At this moment.
The man who drove Bai Yan out of Qi State in the past hurriedly came to Tian Ding with a bamboo slip, and then handed the bamboo slip to Tian Ding.
"Um?"
Tian Ding looked at the bamboo slips, frowning slightly, and kept scanning the words on it.
Opposite the wooden table.
Tian Cong was a little confused when he saw his father put away the bamboo slips.
"What's wrong? Father."
Tian Cong asked softly.
Under Tian Cong's gaze, Tian Ding said nothing and handed the bamboo slip to Tian Cong.
Tian Cong took the bamboo slip and opened it slowly.
However, after seeing the content, Tian Cong looked stunned, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Looking at the bamboo slips, it clearly said that there was a robbery and sale in Yanmen, and Qin general Bai Yan personally investigated it, and finally arrested all the nobles, nobles, officials and even Qin generals from all over Yanmen.
Tian Cong's mind flashed back to the young Bai Yan he had met in Yanmen.
See behind.
After reading it, Tian Cong put away the bamboo slips blankly.
When Tian Cong met Bai Yan in Yanmen before, he never expected that Qin general Bai Yan would dare to do such a thing.
"Father, this Bai Yan is far beyond Cong'er's expectations!"
Tian Cong frowned, as a senior official of Qi State and a descendant of the Tian family.
Tian Cong knew the consequences if he did what Bai Yan did, offending so many nobles at once and killing so many people.
But Tian Cong also knew it.
If Bai Yan wants to rectify Yanmen and leave it in ruins, now that Zhao has just been destroyed, this is Bai Yan's best opportunity to deal with the nobles.
“It’s really surprising to be able to stand up again after breaking down!”
When Tian Ding heard the words of his eldest son Tian Cong, he couldn't help but be curious with his deep eyes.
If possible.
He also wanted to meet this young descendant of the Bai family.
It was at this time.
The study door was opened again. Under the gaze of Tian Ding and Tian Cong, Tian Feiyan was holding a wooden plate in both hands with two bowls of soup on it, and walked towards them cautiously.
See the situation.
Tian Ding and Tian Cong couldn't help but look at each other, dumbfounded.
Tian Feiyan had gone to Yanmen before and came back. He didn't know if he saw the suffering among the people and the people had no food. After returning to Linzi, he suddenly started to learn how to cook and prepare a family banquet.
