As the sun rose, the people in the city began to walk around in the streets, and some people who needed to go out to farm also walked outside the city gate.
In the bustling Pingyang City, the Bai family's mansion also seemed very busy that day.
Servants and maids were carrying things back and forth in the mansion. Outside the mansion, there were more than ten carriages carrying many things needed for travel. It seemed that they were going on a long trip.
In the courtyard.
Ji looked at Junzhu.
"On this trip, you must be careful and don't show your face."
Ji ordered, and after finishing speaking, she looked at Yingxue.
"Especially for you, this trip is not like being at home. Outsiders are dangerous, and the powerful and powerful people will not care whether you are a member of the Bai family."
Ji frowned slightly when she said this. Among the two sisters, the most worrying one was Bai Yingxue, who had an active nature.
This is also the case, which is why he gave Bai Yingxue a special instruction.
In Pingyang, with the Bai family around, no one dared to do anything to Bai Yingxue. However, outside, any powerful nobleman could easily attack Bai Yingxue and his group in secret.
"Got it, grandma!"
Bai Yingxue was hit by the fish pond and quickly lowered her head.
However, Bai Yingxue also knew that her grandmother was right. It would be very dangerous if she was targeted by thieves during this trip.
Just when Bai Yingxue was listening to her grandmother's instructions.
The other side of the yard.
Bai Zhong was also at the pool, explaining some things to Bai Yan.
Uncle Bai and Bai Ji were also listening.
Looking at what their father told Bai Yan to pay attention to when he went to Qi State, Uncle Bai and Bai Ji looked at Bai Yan, but they were not worried.
In the minds of the two brothers, there would be basically no problems on their way to Qi State based on Bai Yan's long-term business experience and connections.
Besides, Bai Yan also brought more than twenty followers.
Although these retinues are not as good as the elite cavalrymen under Bai Yan's command, they are still good fighters and have no problem dealing with ordinary bandits or soldiers.
"When we wait for Qi State, the one who needs the most attention should be Tian Xian."
Bai Ji looked at Bai Yan and said softly.
When Bai Yan came to the Bai family, he had already told the Zou family and Tian Xian why they had a grudge, even though the matter had been in the past for a long time.
But after all, it is better to be careful. After all, Tian Xian, the Tian family, has a considerable influence in Qi State, and he has Prime Minister Hou Sheng of Qi as his backer.
"Um!"
Bai Yan nodded slightly when he heard Bai Ji's words.
Uncle Bai on the side actually laughed.
"Time flies by very quickly. Two years have passed in the blink of an eye. I don't know what Tian Xian's expression would be like if he knew that Zou Xing had come to Qin and changed his name to Bai Yan!"
Uncle Bai stroked his beard and said.
When I think of Bai Yan, even Uncle Bai, who has a very high vision, can find no fault in his talents or his personality. If the Zou family had declined before, it could be said that Bai Yan did not dare to be proud, so he treated others with humility and courtesy.
So after gaining enough status, rights, and even military power to make countless people jealous, and after repeatedly achieving military exploits, Bai Yan was always humble in his treatment of others, treating everyone with courtesy regardless of his status.
Based on this alone.
Not to mention that no one in the clan can match him, even Uncle Bai, who has met countless people, has never seen many people who have Bai Yan's status and can be like Bai Yan after wandering outside for so many years.
Na Tian Xian failed to kill Zou Xing at first.
Uncle Bai can be sure with his life that one day, Bai Yan will make Tian Xian pay the price for his previous actions towards the Zou family!
"Maybe I'll be scared to death!"
When Bai Ji heard what his elder brother Uncle Bai said, he rarely laughed.
Although it is not appropriate to tell the world about Bai Yan's identity at the moment, Bai Ji imagines that if he were Tian Xian and suddenly heard that Bai Yan, the notorious Qin general, was a descendant of the Zou family who he once hunted down, he would be frightened.
Sitting slumped on the ground.
It's not even hard to imagine what kind of retaliation you will suffer in the future.
In the courtyard.
Even Bai Ji laughed, making the atmosphere more relaxed.
"This is that boy's business. I'll leave it to him in the future!"
Bai Yan said with a smile.
But after laughing, when he remembered that it was Tian Xian who killed his benefactor Zou's father, a trace of hatred appeared in Bai Yan's eyes.
Fortunately, if Zou's father had any knowledge, he would surely rest in peace when he saw that his son was now famous all over the world, and his talents and conduct were highly valued by the King of Qin.
There is no need to worry that the Zou family's revenge will not be avenged, and there is no need to worry that the Zou family's lintel cannot be revitalized.
From the moment Bai Yan signed the marriage contract, Bai Yan already regarded Bai Yan as his son-in-law in his heart. In addition, due to his age and childlessness, he regarded Bai Yan as his own son.
"Shopkeeper, everything you need has been prepared!"
An old man came over and saluted Bai Yan.
Bai Yan nodded, then raised his hand to his father in greeting.
"Father, I will take my wife and daughter to Qi State first!"
Bai Yan said.
Bai Zhong, who had gray hair on his temples, nodded slightly.
Bai Ping has already married the daughter of Feng Jie and Feng Jie. Now that Feng and Bai are getting married, it is time to handle Bai Yan's marriage as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.
After a while.
Outside the Bai family's mansion, more than twenty men in civilian clothes holding swords were waiting on both sides of the carriage.
Bai Yan's wife Xue had already entered the carriage with her two daughters. Bai Yan also turned around and got into the carriage after saying goodbye to his eldest brother, mother and others.
Soon, under the watchful eyes of Baizhong, Ji, Fan, and other members of the gentry clan, a group of carriages, protected by their retinue, headed out of the city gate. The purpose of this trip was to go to the distant Qi State.
Luoyang City.
As Bai Yan and his party left the Bai family's mansion, as the sun rose, Luoyang City also saw a surge of people. The dense crowds almost blocked all the streets in Luoyang City.
Everyone knelt on the ground, looking at the soldiers of the Qin State marching past in front of them, looking at the continuous black flags with the word Qin and the countless long swords, all the people were filled with shock.
In Luoyang City, in a relatively distant place, a restaurant stands among the endless houses.
On the third floor of the restaurant, standing in front of the window.
Three men in silk clothes looked at the black flow of people leaving Luoyang City from a distance, looking at the six-horse carriages coming one after another.
"When Ying Zheng leaves Luoyang, his death is not far away!"
A man raised the corners of his mouth and said softly.
But when the man on the side heard this, he slowly shook his head.
"Don't take it lightly! The spy has already sent news that Qin General Bai Yan has sensed that something has changed in Zhongmou City. After receiving Ying Zheng's order, he went to the palace of Luoyang City to ask Ying Zheng for permission to go to Zhongmou City alone.
"
When the man said this, his eyes were full of worry.
The man's words made the other two men also fall silent.
"That Bai Yan should not be underestimated!"
After one man finished speaking, he turned to look at the man who had just spoken.
"Brother Wu Gao, how did Bai Yan know that something happened in Zhongmou City? You must know that all the news has been concealed, and only a few people know about it. Those are all reliable people, and the spy has also been identified.
,Bai Yan definitely did not receive any alarming news!"
When the man spoke, he was both curious and a little surprised.
In order to assassinate Ying Zheng, all the nobles involved were carefully selected, and it was absolutely impossible for the news to be leaked. What's more, no matter the spies repeatedly confirmed, Bai Yan did not receive the news.
Under such circumstances, how did Bai Yan guess, or rather guess, that there was something wrong with Zhongmou City.
"I am not sure as well!"
When Wu Gao heard his old friend's words, he frowned and looked at Luoyang City in the distance, the mighty Qin army.
"In short, during this trip, you must be careful about Bai Yan. If the assassination of Ying Zheng fails during this trip, Bai Yan must be eliminated no matter what!"
Wu Gao said.
When he was in Daidi, Gongzi Jia established himself as Daiwang, and Wu Gao was Daiwang Jia's trusted minister.
This is also the case. Wu Gaocai knows best how terrifying the Bai family's cavalry in Yanmen is to Dai Di. When Yanmen executed the nobles, Dai Di did not dare to move lightly and took the opportunity to contact other Zhao Di.
A large part of the reason for the old ministers and Zhao Bianqi at Yanmen was that they were afraid of the Bai family's iron cavalry.
Today's Dai Di is completely unable to stop the attack of Bai's cavalry.
In particular, the chief general of the Bai family's cavalry is Bai Yan, a strategist who is extremely good at fighting and fighting, and is a descendant of the famous Bai family.
There are Qizai stationed at Yanmen.
Dai Wangjia had no chance to bribe Qin officials and some Qin army generals. Even the officials and officials of Zhao's old ministry in Yanmen did not dare to act as Dai Wangjia because they were afraid of Bai Yan, who was strict in governing the army and law.
As an internal response, contact Zhao Bianqi.
Therefore, for Wu Gao, it was important to kill Ying Zheng during this trip, but if he could not kill Ying Zheng, then Bai Yan would die no matter what.
"Don't worry! With the news that Bai Yan is going to Zhongmou, we have ordered people to rush to Zhongmou. At this moment, all the officials and nobles in Zhongmou City are our people. As long as Bai Yan reaches Zhongmou City, he will only die."
Another man heard Wu Gao's words and softly comforted him, telling him not to worry.
After finishing speaking, the man thought of something and turned to look at the man next to Wu Gao.
"Zheng Liu, have you eliminated Yan?"
The man asked.
The man named Zheng nodded when he heard this.
"Brother Xiyan, please rest assured. The Yan family knows that we are plotting to assassinate Ying Zheng. Although Yan Zong has already given in due to threats from his Yan clan, the matter is very important. My father will not let the Yan family live.
."
Zheng Liu said.
Hearing this, Xiyan and Wu Gao looked at each other, but neither of them said anything.
In Luoyang, the Zheng family is a famous family. Not only does Zheng Gong have a high prestige in the hearts of Confucian scholars in the world, but the Zheng family also controls the intricate relationships in Luoyang and occupies some important positions.
Since Mr. Zheng took action, there was no chance of Mr. Yan surviving.
What's more, Wu Gao and Xiyan seemed to have heard some rumors.
At this moment, suddenly there was a knocking sound outside the door.
See the situation.
Wu Gao, Xie Yan, and Zheng Liu looked at each other in confusion, and then looked at the door.
