Under Jing Ke's confused gaze, the two people who were looking at each other in the city road immediately rushed towards each other.
Yang Yan held his breath and concentrated, looking forward to the next second of the fight.
The two Yanchens also looked at the two people in the city road seriously.
Within the city road.
Under the watchful eyes of all the Qin soldiers, as the silhouettes of people intertwined rapidly, Qin Wuyang took the lead in slashing with all his strength. Everyone was still thinking about whether Bai Yan would be in danger because the deputy envoy of Yan State actually offered to fight.
In an instant, he saw Bai Yan holding the sword behind his back. He blocked Qin Wuyang's full blow with great ease.
"good!"
Yang Yan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. When he saw Bai Yan staggering to block the sword, he couldn't help but let out a soft drink.
And just when the voice sounded, Yang Yan saw Bai Yancuo turning around immediately. Yang Yan, who had sharp eyes, immediately noticed that in an instant, Bai Yan's sword seemed to have been released.
Did he let go? Or was he beaten away?
Yang Yan's heart skipped a beat and he secretly said something bad.
However, with this thought, Yang Yan suddenly noticed that Bai Yan's toes were touching the ground, and his whole body twisted and changed direction. In an instant, Bai Yan was facing Qin Wuyang's back.
This scene made Yang Yan couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Jing Ke, the disciple of the Lian family on the side, was also shocked, but before anyone could speak.
The wooden sword that was originally thrown away fell into Bai Yan's hands again after Bai Yan turned around, and he was still holding the sword.
"What! Can it be like this?"
This was the thought that popped into everyone's mind after seeing this scene.
No one expected it before.
Looking at Qin Wuyang, Bai Yan who was standing behind Qin Wuyang with a sword, Yang Yan and Jing Ke who were good at martial arts, they all knew that if Qin Wuyang reacted slowly, it would be very dangerous at the next moment.
In the corridor, Qin Wuyang, who had just slashed with all his strength but was blocked by Bai Yan, had not yet released his strength and had no time to turn around. He only had time to turn his head and look at Bai Yan.
Look at this.
Qin Wuyang's pupils shrank. When he saw Bai Yan facing him from behind, Qin Wuyang's mind was filled with fear.
How can it be!
Qin Wuyang couldn't believe it.
Just when Yang Yan and Jing Ke thought Bai Yan would attack with all his strength and suppress Qin Wuyang step by step, Qin Wuyang instinctively turned around and prepared to block with his wooden sword.
Under the gaze of everyone, Bai Yan, who was holding the sword, had no intention of slashing with brute force. Instead, he relied on one hand to use the power of sprinting and rotating his body to spin the wooden sword in his hand slightly and hit Qin Wuyang hard.
From the exchange of blows to the shifting of bodies, and finally to the blow, all the movements were done smoothly and in one go.
Snap~!
In the city road, along with a loud sound, all the Qin soldiers in the city road trembled. Seeing the wooden sword falling to the ground, Qin Wuyang kept covering his face and retreating.
Everyone took a breath, and some Qin soldiers couldn't help but bared their teeth. Hearing such a loud sound and looking at Qin Wuyang's appearance, it must have been painful.
However, everyone could also see that Bai Yan had restrained himself just now. From the sound, they knew that it was shot with the blade of a sword. If he had used a sword blade with such force, then even if it was a wooden sword, Qin Wuyang's face would probably be rotten.
"what happened?"
"What noise?"
Under the city tower, the Qin soldiers who were standing at the city gate checking the people and passing merchants also heard the movement on the city tower and looked at each other.
Some people also looked at the city curiously. Fortunately, neither the people nor the merchants wanted to cause trouble, so they quickly put aside their curiosity and continued to wait for inspection before entering Hangu Pass.
Under the eaves.
"good!"
Yang Yan couldn't help but stood up and shouted again. He looked at the young man holding a wooden sword in the city road. As a martial arts leader, Yang Yan finally had a clear understanding of Bai Yan's strength at this moment.
So strong!!
Yang Yan's mind also recalled the scene outside Yanyu City, where Bai Yan led his cavalry and charged into battle with thousands of horses galloping.
"This swordsmanship!"
Jing Ke also knelt down and stood up straight at this moment. He looked at Bai Yan who was standing on the city road, feeling frightened and frightened in his heart, with a look of shock on his face.
Jing Ke never thought that Bai Yan's swordsmanship was so powerful, and he could judge Qin Wuyang in just a moment. He didn't even see Qin Wuyang's strength, or how strong Bai Yan was with all his strength.
When he thought of Yan Dan asking him to kill Bai Yan in Xianyang Hall, Jing Ke was very uneasy because he was not sure whether he could do it with Bai Yan's strength.
Think of this.
At this moment, Jing Ke's mood had reached its lowest point and he began to feel uneasy.
Jing Ke had a vague hunch that if he wanted to kill Bai Yan during this trip, it would definitely not be as easy as he imagined.
Thinking back to the fight just now, from the initial sword raising, to the movements in the process, and the final one-handed sweep, Jing Ke could clearly feel that Bai Yan's swordsmanship was not like that of ordinary warriors and warriors, who wielded it with brute force.
To chop, to stab.
Bai Yan's swordsmanship made Jing Ke feel more like a lone knight, no, perhaps more appropriately, like an assassin.
The weird starting position and smooth movements are all for the final blow to kill.
"Who is Bai Yan's apprentice?"
Jing Ke was puzzled, and in his mind, Gongzi Dan's appearance appeared, recalling that Gongzi Dan regarded him as a distinguished guest, gave him status and wealth, and allowed him to enjoy the attention he had never enjoyed before.
"Jing Ke, you should repay Young Master Dan with your life!"
Jing Ke thought of this and gradually stabilized his mind.
No matter how powerful Bai Yan's swordsmanship is or who he learned from, in the Xianyang Palace of Qin, Qin officials are not allowed to hold swords in the main hall, and Bai Yan is no exception.
And the sword he brought was smeared with poison. If he took action, he might as well kill Bai Yan and repay Gongzi Dan's kindness.
"Amazing!"
"Yes! General Bai is so good at martial arts! No wonder there are rumors in the army that General Bai was born in Xianden before. He once attacked the city and killed twenty-two people, one of whom was a government official! I didn't believe it before."
"I thought it was a lie before! I didn't expect that General Bai is really that strong. The rumors must be true. General Bai's status was gained by fighting for his life."
In the city road, the Qin soldiers guarding the city road were holding long swords, looking at each other, talking in low voices, and looking at Bai Yan with fiery eyes.
In the camp, all of them had heard about the deeds of General Bai Yan.
Because of Qin's hereditary title system and his experience on the battlefield, no one could believe that General Bai Yan, who led a lone army to fight the Yueshi and Xiongnu in the battle of Gaonu in Shangjun, was really born first.
This is something that no one dares to imagine. After all, he is a soldier with the highest mortality rate in the army. How could Bai Yan, a descendant of the Bai family, have ever done Xianden?
But now.
Seeing that Bai Yan's swordsmanship was the same as the rumors, all the Qin soldiers couldn't help but have a hunch that those rumors were probably true.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
In the city road, Qin Wuyang kept rolling on the ground. The severe pain made Qin Wuyang's eyes red and shed tears.
At this moment, Qin Wuyang clearly felt that the severe pain on his cheek even made his brain hurt, followed by gradual numbness and loss of consciousness.
Qin Wuyang, who grew up in the Yan Kingdom and was born into a noble family, had never experienced anything like this.
As the eldest grandson of Qin Kai, the general of Yan State, who dares to treat him like this?
For a moment, the severe pain in his head and the humiliation caused by the numbness of his cheeks left Qin Wuyang with only one thought in his mind, kill Bai Yan, he must kill Bai Yan!
Qin Wuyang's red eyes were filled with hatred at this moment.
After getting up.
Qin Wuyang noticed Qin Zu next to him out of the corner of his eye. He suddenly became violent and bumped into Qin Zu.
However, Qin Zu did not react and was knocked directly into the wall by Qin Wuyang without any precautions. When he came to his senses, he suddenly heard the sound of drawing a sword.
The Qin soldier was confused at first, but when he saw the Qin sword in the hand of the Yan deputy envoy, he immediately realized something and looked at his waist, and then his whole body became cold.
Yang Yan and Jing Ke, who were kneeling behind the wooden table not far away, as well as the two Yanchen officials, all secretly said something bad when they saw this scene.
Qin Wuyang is young and has lost his mind after losing!
"Wu Yang, stop!!"
Jing Ke scolded loudly.
"Quick, protect the general!"
"He wants to assassinate the general and protect the general!!"
All the Qin soldiers in the city were frightened when they saw Qin Wuyang's actions, and they all held long swords or drew Qin swords.
However, at this time, Qin Wuyang's mind went blank. He looked at Bai Yan with red eyes, only with murderous intent. Qin Wuyang, regardless of the situation, took the Qin sword and killed Bai Yan in front of everyone.
the other side.
Bai Yan naturally saw this scene. Looking at the Qin sword in Qin Wuyang's hand, Bai Yan was not panicked. The wooden sword in his hand was a wooden sword used by soldiers for sparring. It was very strong and resistant to cutting. Qin Wuyang wanted to kill him with the Qin sword.
, it’s not that simple.
Seeing Qin Wuyang rushing over, Bai Yan held swords in both hands. Bai Yan actually had an understanding of Qin Wuyang's martial arts.
Qin Wuyang is not a useless nobleman as recorded in history. You can tell by looking at the calluses on Qin Wuyang's hands. It's no wonder that Yan Dan would choose Qin Wuyang. Qin Wuyang's two fingers also have calluses from practicing bow practice.
But it is a pity that there is a big gap between the swordsman Qin Wuyang learned from and Bai Yan's mentor.
"block!"
Bai Yan muttered softly, holding wooden swords in both hands. When he saw Qin Wuyang coming close to stab him, he quickly held the hilt of the sword in one hand and the sword body in the other, staggering away.
Seeing Qin Wuyang trying to get close to him and then using a real sword to hurt someone, Bai Yan didn't give Qin Wuyang a chance at all. He used the hand holding the sword hilt and exerted force along with his body to hit Qin Wuyang in the face with his elbow.
Following the impact, a muffled sound sounded, Qin Wuyang was beaten back, and blood immediately flowed from his nose.
However, Bai Yan did not stop. When Qin Wuyang had a real sword, Bai Yan would not joke with his own life.
Taking advantage of Qin Wuyang's pain and before the heavy Qin sword had time to accumulate strength, Bai Yan swung the wooden sword with all his strength again. Under Qin Wuyang's fearful eyes, he hit Qin Wuyang's other face in an instant.
Snap~!
The sound that rang out again was louder than before.
What followed was the sound of Qin Jian falling to the ground. Bai Yan, who had no worries this time, hit Qin Wuyang's whole head with almost all his strength, and then everyone fell sideways to the ground.
He passed out motionless.
The unconscious Qin Wuyang was immediately held up by the Qin soldiers holding long swords around his neck. The sharp swords could cut Qin Wuyang's neck at any time.
"General Bai, please stop!!"
Jing Ke couldn't sit still at this time. He stood up and walked out of the eaves, came to Bai Yan's side and bowed his hands in ceremony.
"I also ask General Bai to forgive Qin Wuyang for his disrespectful behavior. Wu Yang was young and was rude for a moment. I also ask General Bai to forgive me."
Jing Ke's forehead was covered with sweat at this moment, and he was shocked by Qin Wuyang's actions.
What makes Jing Ke feel even more troublesome now is that Qin Wuyang's actions just now have caused a catastrophe. Now Jing Ke can only pray that Bai Yan can be tolerant and generous and bypass Qin Wuyang this time.
"General, spare your life!"
The Qin soldier who was taken away by Qin Wuyang was about eighteen or nineteen years old. He came to Bai Yan and knelt on the ground with a pale face, his body trembling constantly.
Just now Qin Wuyang took his sword and wanted to assassinate General Bai.
The Qin State had a continuous sitting system.
In the city road.
The commotion caused by the sudden change has ended, but at this moment everyone is looking at Bai Yan holding a wooden sword.
No matter how to deal with Qin Wuyang or how to deal with the Qin soldiers, it can be said that Bai Yan has the final say.
Right in front of everyone.
Yang Yan had just walked out of the eaves when he saw Bai Yan handing the wooden sword to the Qin soldiers beside him, then took two steps, gently picked up the Qin sword on the ground with both hands, and then came to the Qin soldiers who were trembling and kneeling on the ground.
In front of the soldiers.
"This crime is not yours. You are a warrior of our Qin Kingdom. How can you be imprisoned for this crime?"
Bai Yan held the sharp bronze Qin sword in both hands, looked at Qin Zu with a smile, and said softly.
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone was stunned, even Yang Yan looked at Bai Yan with a surprised look on his face. The Qin soldier obviously felt something. He raised his head instantly, his eyes were red, but he was a little unbelievable.
"This matter has been revealed. From now on, you should never leave your hand with a sword and use it to perform meritorious deeds on the battlefield! Get up!"
Bai Yan said, looking at Qin Zu with no blame at all.
The fault of this incident does not lie with Qin Zu, and he is not injured at the moment. It is better to motivate Qin Zu and kill the enemy with meritorious service in the future.
Although Bai Yan didn't know whether he would be able to see this Qin soldier again in the future, once Qin and Chu fought, it would be a question of whether the Qin soldier could even survive.
But that doesn't stop him from saying this now.
"Thank you General!"
In the eyes of everyone, Qin Zu wiped the tears of gratitude from his eyes and looked at Bai Yan. Perhaps at this moment, Bai Yan wanted to kill someone, and he would not hesitate at all.
After getting up.
Qin Zu sobbed, then took the Qin sword held by Bai Yan with both hands and carefully inserted it into the scabbard.
During the whole process, none of the Qin soldiers laughed, but looked at Bai Yan with reverence in their eyes, the general they had always heard about.
Among the crowd.
Jing Ke also looked at this scene with confusion, not from the standpoint of the Qin State. In fact, for Jing Ke, this scene made Jing Ke feel depressed, because Bai Yan's appearance reminded Jing Ke of a person, Lord Xinling.
Wei Wuji.
It is not a good thing for the State of Yan and the world to have people with such moral character in the Qin State.
However, looking at the scene in front of him, Jing Ke, who had traveled all over the world and regarded himself as a chivalrous man, agreed and couldn't help but feel admiration for the young man in his heart.
Such a gentleman.
Who in the world doesn't want to be with him? It would be an honor to become an old friend and tell him.
It would be great if Bai Yan was in Yan country!
"General Bai!"
When Jing Ke saw Bai Yan turning around, he quickly saluted again, hoping that Bai Yan would forgive Qin Wuyang's rudeness.
Yang Yan stood aside, watching this scene without saying anything, letting Bai Yan make the decision.
"Don't worry, Ambassador Yan, Bai Yan won't blame the Deputy Envoy!"
Bai Yan returned the courtesy and said to Jing Ke.
Seeing Qin Wuyang lying unconscious on the ground, Bai Yan turned to look at Jing Ke.
"I just hope this never happens again in the future!"
Bai Yangong's handwriting ceremony.
It was actually his first time to slash. Bai Yan could choose to hit Qin Wuyang on the back. The reason why he finally hit Qin Wuyang on the face was because Bai Yan had some selfish motives.
Qin Wuyang's various actions along the way, Bai Yan is not blind, Qin Wuyang is waiting for the opportunity, Bai Yan has always been forbearing.
After all, a man of almost a few years old has an arrogant face and has been actively provoking for several days. Bai Yan can calmly tolerate it, but it does not mean that Bai Yan will let it go easily if he is given the opportunity now.
It's a slap in the face.
Otherwise, you won’t have a long memory. Only if you slap it on the face will it be seen by others, and you won’t forget the pain after two days and no one will remind you.
In the Yan State, Qin Wuyang was a son of a noble family and the eldest grandson of General Yan. No one dared to offend him.
But in the Qin State, even Li Xin, Meng Tian, Wang Li, Li You and other wealthy children were polite to others, but Qin Wuyang was not qualified to dominate.
"General Bai, please be at ease!"
When Jing Ke heard Bai Yan's words, he looked at the polite Bai Yan and said with gratitude, feeling relieved in his heart.
Watching the other Qin soldiers let go of Qin Wuyang after Bai Yan finished speaking, Jing Ke quickly asked someone to get some water, then dipped it with his own hands and sprinkled it on Qin Wuyang's red, swollen and blue face.
"ah!"
The cold water touched the wound and caused a sharp sting, causing Qin Wuyang to wake up slowly.
After opening his eyes, Qin Wuyang looked left and right in confusion, but when he saw Bai Yan in black clothes beside him, a deep fear appeared in his eyes.
The fear seemed to be engraved in my bones.
Bai Yan and Yang Yan looked at each other with no expression on their faces, but they both had a knowing smile in their hearts.
Sure enough, only after being beaten can you feel the pain and not be so arrogant.
It is estimated that Qin Wuyang will calm down on the road from Hangu Pass to Xianyang City.
Next.
The banquet continued normally. Under Jing Ke's persuasion, Qin Wuyang, who was beaten until he was unconscious, got frightened and walked down the slope to Bai Yan. With fear in his eyes, he apologized to Bai Yan.
This is a young nobleman who clearly wanted to kill Bai Yan not long ago, but now he has to step down, but he can submit and apologize.
Bai Yan also did not embarrass Qin Wuyang as he promised Jing Ke just now. After exchanging greetings, he did not mention the matter just now.
During the banquet, except for Qin Wuyang's swollen face and the fear in his eyes, nothing seemed to have happened.
As it gets darker.
Conditions are limited, there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever, the banquet has to end, and Bai Yan has to go on a journey tomorrow, so he needs to rest early.
Yang Yan reluctantly chatted with Bai Yan. From the first meeting in Qicheng to the subsequent life-saving grace, the longer he stayed in contact with Bai Yan, the more Yang Yan fell in love with Bai Yan.
This kind of love is not the love between a man and a woman, but the kind of love between friends who hate meeting each other too late.
If it weren't for the guard general of Hangu Pass, Yang Yan would have wished to return to Xianyang with Bai Yan tomorrow.
·············
Late at night.
In some simple wooden houses, with the faint candlelight, Jing Ke looked at Qin Wuyang, whose face was full of pain while applying medicine.
"You shouldn't have taken the sword today, you almost missed something important!"
Jing Ke looked at Qin Wuyang and said reproachfully.
When Qin Wuyang heard Jing Ke's rebuke, he knew he was in the wrong and did not dare to speak back.
At this moment, Qin Wuyang thought of today's events. The figure of Bai Yan holding the wooden sword was deeply engraved in his heart and could not be dissipated.
A feeling of weakness coming from the bottom of his heart made Qin Wuyang very afraid of Bai Yan.
Qin Wuyang has never felt like this since he was a child. Even when facing the master invited by his grandfather, Qin Wuyang never felt so powerless.
Even Qin Wuyang can feel it.
Even if the teacher comes and faces Bai Yan, he will probably lose in the end.
Bai Yan's swordsmanship was too weird and too fast, making it difficult for people to guard against him. Every time, in the blink of an eye, before he could react, the wooden sword in Bai Yan's hand would have been slashed on the face.
Qin Wuyang Just imagine.
If the wooden sword in Bai Yan's hand was Qin Jian, his head would have been separated from his body long ago.
"Wu Yang!"
Jing Ke shouted several times in succession, and Qin Wuyang finally came to his senses in a daze.
Jing Ke looked at Qin Wuyang's condition, his brows filled with worry.
He knew clearly that when Qin Wuyang met Bai Yan today, Bai Yan's sharp swordsmanship had made Qin Wuyang fearful and invincible.
Jing Ke did not blame Qin Wuyang for this, Bai Yan's swordsmanship really exceeded their expectations.
Jing Ke's only worry was that he didn't know if Qin Wuyang could assassinate Ying Zheng with his appearance.
"Wu Yang, remember, the person you want to assassinate is Ying Zheng. I will use Bai Yan's life to wash away today's humiliation in Xianyang Hall."
Jing Ke consoled him.
Under the dim light, looking at Qin Wuyang's worried eyes slowly looking at him, Jing Ke knew why Qin Wuyang looked like that.
"No matter how powerful Bai Yan's swordsmanship is, Bai Yan cannot wield a sword in the great hall of Xianyang of the Qin Kingdom. If I only hurt Bai Yan even a little bit, he will not be able to escape death!"
Jing Ke looked around and felt that there was no movement, then whispered to Qin Wuyang.
When Qin Wuyang heard Jing Ke's words, a look of confusion and fear gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Yep!"
Qin Wuyang nodded repeatedly, and then looked at Jing Ke with expectant eyes.
"Remember, you only need to kill Ying Zheng this time!"
Jing Ke sighed, and after finishing his instructions, he knew that Qin Wuyang needed to take care of himself, so he stood up and let Qin Wuyang rest first, then turned and left the wooden house.
Inside the wooden house.
Soon only Qin Wuyang was left, sitting alone in front of the wooden bed holding herbs.
After a few breaths, Qin Wuyang looked at everything unfamiliar around him.
The pain on his face gradually brought Qin Wuyang, who had been immersed in fantasy when he was in Yan State, into reality.
It also made Qin Wuyang realize.
In fact, I am not as strong as I think.
Looking at everything unfamiliar in front of me, I felt the thickness of my cheeks and the painful swelling in my heart.
Qin Wuyang began to doubt himself and began to think about the past.
However, no one can answer Qin Wuyang's question now. His father, mother, grandfather, and even everyone he once knew are all in the distant country of Yan.
The only person accompanying him now is Jing Ke, a man introduced by Yan Dan.
The second day.
Along with it came a flash of light in the sky.
Bai Yan, who stayed in Hangu Pass for one night, got up early and slept very soundly on the simple couch.
Because we were at Hangu Pass, an important place for Qin State, it was heavily guarded by Qin State troops.
Therefore, Bai Yan naturally has nothing to worry about.
I simply ate something.
When Bai Yan came to the motorcade, all the cavalry officers had gathered around the carriage, and Jing Ke's followers were all packing their things beside the carriage.
Not long after, Yang Yan, accompanied by his soldiers, came to Bai Yan's side.
Yang Yan wore Qin armor, accompanied Qin Jian, and walked side by side with Bai Yan.
"General Bai, when you return in the future, you must stay at Hangu Pass for a few more days, and then we can have a drink and have a good time together!"
Yang Yan said to Bai Yan, making an agreement with Bai Yan.
"It's natural!"
When Bai Yan heard Yang Yan's words, he turned to Yang Yan and said with a smile, agreeing. However, he looked not far ahead and saw Qin Wuyang, who was full of fear after discovering himself, and the Yan envoy Jing Ke who was inspecting the carriage beside him.
Bai Yan understands.
It is easy to go to Xianyang City, but when you arrive and leave Xianyang City, it is not so relaxing and comfortable.
Although he had never touched Jing Ke's carriage, Bai Yan knew very well that the carriages behind Jing Ke's carriage should contain gold and silver treasures.
Yang Yan doesn't know this at the moment.
I'm afraid that when Yang Yan hears the news about Xianyang again some time later, he will probably be shocked.
Think of this.
Seeing that the carriage was ready, Bai Yan stopped, turned to look at Yang Yan, and slowly raised his hand to salute.
"Farewell, General Yang, see you someday!"
Bai Yan said.
Yang Yan cannot be told about Jing Ke's affairs yet. After all, the explanation is not clear, and once word gets out, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Okay! It's a deal."
Yang Yan also raised his hand to return the salute.
After saying goodbye, Yang Yan stood there, watching with some reluctance as Bai Yan took the carriage and drove slowly towards Xianyang with Yan envoy Jing Ke and others.
Interpretation ① In history, Qin Wuyang arrived at the Xianyang Palace and was finally frightened. He took a knife and wanted to write down the process from full of ambition to fear later. As the grandson of the general Qin Kai of the Yan State, coupled with the environment of the Yan State, Qin Wuyang
He should have practiced some martial arts and be good at riding and shooting. After all, riding and shooting was a game for nobles in ancient times.
During the recent spring rain season, the flu is rampant. Please take care of yourself, keep warm and avoid getting caught in the rain!
