He told the Bao family to take good care of themselves here in Shanwu City. After bidding farewell to the Bao family, Bai Yan took Master Xu and got on the carriage.
Although he was not sure what he would face during this trip to Xianyang, one thing Bai Yan knew very well was that Mrs. Xu had been invited by Yan Dan to go to Yan State a long time ago.
Therefore, Master Xu will definitely take him with him.
In addition, Master Xu has specialized in studying various poisons since he was a child. Having Master Xu by his side during this trip is also a precaution.
After a while.
Bai Yan was escorted by dozens of cavalry officers. When he arrived at the city gate, Yan's envoy Jing Ke and his party had already been waiting outside the city for a long time.
"Thank you for your long wait, sir!"
After Bai Yan got off the carriage, he saluted Jing Ke.
"It doesn't matter! As a county lieutenant, General Bai is busy with affairs. He can put aside important matters and escort Jing Ke on this trip. Jing Ke is already grateful. Why did he wait so long?"
When Jing Ke heard Bai Yan's words, he also smiled and explained.
Qin Wuyang on the side looked at Bai Yan who was preparing a ceremony with Jing Ke, his eyes were a little impatient, but he didn't say anything. However, Qin Wuyang suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that in the carriage Bai Yan was riding, a young woman was secretly watching from behind the curtain.
Outside the carriage.
See the situation.
Qin Wuyang cursed Bai Yan angrily in his heart, which was full of taste.
In Qin Wuyang's eyes, Bai Yan was a bastard and looked down upon him and Jing Ke.
Bai Yan took his beautiful concubine with him, and she enjoyed the whole life, but she didn't give one to him or Jing Ke.
Thinking room.
Qin Wuyang also suddenly missed his hometown Jicheng. If he was at home like this, he would be so tired, sitting in a carriage all day long, without even a beauty beside him.
I recall the good wine and meat at home in Jicheng, the way my friends who grew up together in Jicheng praised me in the past, and how I went hunting on horseback when I was bored.
Qin Wuyang suddenly felt a little regretful.
I regret that I agreed to Yan Dan after my grandfather’s persuasion.
At that time, my grandfather talked about how his name would be spread all over the world, and everyone would know it, and his name would even be remembered for eternity. He recalled the pleading attitude of the young master Yan Dan, and the admiring eyes and eyes of his friends next to him.
.
At that time, he felt that his blood was boiling, and he wanted to kill Ying Zheng with a sword immediately for everyone to see, so he agreed without hesitation.
at the moment.
Thinking of the journey along the way, the fatigue along the way, and then looking at the sight of Bai Yan enjoying himself so much in front of me.
homesick!
"What's wrong?"
When Qin Wuyang was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Jing Ke's voice. Qin Wuyang quickly came back to his senses. Only then did he realize that at some point, Bai Yan had turned back to the carriage and was about to set off.
Looking at Jing Ke, who was in his thirties, Qin Wuyang tried his best to smile and quickly shook his head.
"nothing!"
Qin Wuyang said.
Although he misses home very much, Qin Wuyang also knows that it is too late to say anything now. He has already agreed and is here.
The worst case scenario is to kill Ying Zheng, and then coerce the Qin ministers in exchange for a way out.
Think of this.
Qin Wuyang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"As long as nothing happens, we're ready to set off!"
Jing Ke looked at Qin Wuyang's appearance. Although he was a little confused, he didn't think much about it, and then led Qin Wuyang towards the carriage of Yan Kingdom.
Under the watchful eyes of all the Qin officials at Shanwu City Gate.
A group of several carriages, escorted by mighty iron cavalry and dozens of Yan soldiers, set off towards the west.
Along the way.
Since it set off from Yanmen in the north, and in order to arrive as early as possible, it was naturally impossible to go south. The convoy finally headed to Shangjun along the north of the Taihang Mountains and south of the Yunzhong Mountains.
If you look at this road from a map, it looks like a corridor separated by two huge mountains, leading directly to Shangjun.
Although the road is remote and not as good as the Central Plains, it is a real strategic location.
Because right in the Yunzhong Mountains, there is a road that passes through the mountains and leads directly to the northern grasslands. Whether the Huns go south or the people from the Central Plains want to go north, if you take this road from Yunzhong, you must pass that road first.
Walk through the Yunzhong Mountains.
As for an ambush or something like that, it's simply impossible.
There are Qin troops stationed at all the passes in the Yunzhong Mountains, and in Yanmen territory, the gentry forces of Yanmen have long been wiped out by Bai Yan.
After the Yanmen territory, it is the border area of Taiyuan County, and then it enters Shang County.
Bai Yan is familiar with the lieutenant in Shangjun, General Hu Jin!
Don't underestimate the word "junwei".
In the official title system of the Qin State, the commander-in-chief was in charge of the garrison of the county. He was directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and had the same courtesy as the commander-in-chief. In the frontier counties, there was one commander-in-chief every hundred miles.
2. The Guandu Lieutenant is in charge of the border garrison and the handling of passes, all of which are subordinate to the Commandery Lieutenant of the county.
The sentence "all belong to the commanders and commanders of this county" is enough to shock people.
Behind this sentence, there is an entire county. All the garrison troops in one territory, the pass commanders, and all the direct subordinate generals under his command are all under the command of the county commanders.
It can be said that whether it is Bai Yan or Hu Jin, they can mobilize all the soldiers and horses of the two counties in an instant.
"General, it seems that the Yan envoy named Jing Ke just now was seen by Master Xu when he was a child."
As they were on their way, Master Xu, who was riding in the carriage, hesitated for a long time and finally said to Bai Yan.
Just now in the carriage, Master Xu secretly looked out the window behind the curtain. At first he looked at the Yan envoy, and Master Xu didn't think anything of it, but it wasn't until he heard his name was Jing Ke.
Xu Shicai felt something was wrong. In his memory, she seemed to have seen her in the Xu Mansion when she was very young.
"have you seen?"
Bai Yan looked at Master Xu, very surprised.
Bai Yan did not expect this. After all, he did not expect Master Xu to actually meet Jing Ke.
"I seem to have seen it when I was very young, but Master Xu didn't remember if it was him. It's been too long. When he was a child, Master Xu remembered that three young men came to the Xu family to ask for swords. One was named. It seemed to be Han Chenyan
, the other is called Gao Jianli, and the other seems to be called Jing Ke."
Master Xu lowered his head and pondered, and said softly.
It had been so long that she couldn't remember whether he was called Jing Ke.
Under Bai Yan's gaze, Master Xu told Bai Yan that when she was a child, she was still in the Xu family. At that time, she vaguely remembered that someone came to the Xu family to ask for a sword, and one of them was named Jing Ke.
The reason why she had an impression was that at that time, she still vaguely remembered that among the three people, only two of them asked for a sword. The one who didn't asked for a sword was very gentle, good at building, and he also listened well. She remembered it deeply.
Moreover, it was the first time she saw three men seeking swords. On the night when Xu stayed overnight, after drinking with her father, the three of them started to cry because one of them was about to return to Chu.
"Han Chenyan? From Chu?"
Bai Yan frowned slightly after listening to Master Xu's words.
He turned his head and looked to the side, feeling the carriage bumping and shaking slightly as it drove on the road.
Could it be that this Han Chenyan is the person Jing Ke is waiting for?
In his memory, as well as the previous investigation he sent to the Yan Kingdom, it was proved that before leaving, in addition to enjoying the fame, wealth, status and beauty given by Yan Dan, Jing Ke seemed to have been waiting for a good friend.
Could it be this Han Chenyan?
"Then do you think Jing Ke will recognize you?"
Bai Yan looked at Master Xu, Han Chenyan could send someone to investigate in the future, but the most important thing right now was.
Can Jing Ke recognize Master Xu in front of him?
Once recognized, I'm afraid there may be some trouble.
"General, don't worry. If he is really the Jing Ke that Master Xu has seen before, he wouldn't be able to recognize him now. Master Xu was young at that time, and Master Xu has been taught since he was a child that learning about poison must never be made public!"
Master Xu shook his head at Bai Yan to reassure Bai Yan.
She only vaguely remembered Jing Ke when she heard the word Jing Ke just now. Otherwise, looking at Jing Ke's appearance, she wouldn't even remember Jing Ke.
Therefore, let alone Jing Ke, he could still see her.
"good!"
Bai Yan felt relieved after hearing Master Xu's words.
As long as Jing Ke didn't know that Master Xu was good and evil, there would be no problem. Looking at Master Xu, Bai Yan was thinking about whether he should let Master Xu go to Xianyang in advance.
Interpretation ① Some researchers with the Han surname have verified that Han Xin’s grandfather was named Han Lun and his father was named Han Chenyan.
Many genealogies of the Wei family in Guangxi are also recorded and need to be verified.
Many people think that Han Xin's father was a knight-errant, and some people think that Han Xin's father was a captain of the Chu army.
It's all combined here.
When he was young, he was a knight-errant, traveling around the world, and later returned to the Chu State and his family.
