Chapter 386 The confused Bai Yu couple summoned them in advance.
In Bai Yu's study.
When Master Xu confessed to Bai Yu that he was now following Bai Yan, Bai Yu stood there with a dull look on his face.
What to say?
Follow Bai Yan?
That boy?
Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan, his doubtful expression undisguised. It was not a hostile contempt, but something similar to suspicion of the younger generation.
In Bai Yu's eyes, although the origin of this boy Bai Yan is still unclear, as analyzed before with his brother and others, the origin of this boy Bai Yan is definitely not high, or even very low.
This is also the reason why Bai Yu is most stunned now.
How virtuous and capable is this boy? He actually allows Miss Xu, who was born in Bian Que, to follow him around. Why? What is he trying to do?
If there is a need, relying on the life-saving favor of Bai Yu, are you still afraid that Bai Yu will default on the bill?
"uncle!"
Bai Yan knelt down behind the wooden table and looked at Bai Yu's expression, which was suspicious at first and then turned ridiculous at the end. He suddenly felt bad.
What expression? Why does it feel like he doesn't deserve it?
However, facing Bai Yan's words, Bai Yu ignored them and turned to look at Master Xu.
"Miss Xu, is this boy threatening you? If so, you can rest assured that although this boy has the same title as me, I still dare to beat him!"
Bai Yu bowed his hands in front of Master Xu, then pointed at Bai Yan and said.
After saying these words, Master Xu couldn't help but cover his mouth and burst into laughter. He turned his head and looked at Bai Yan with a smile.
Bai Yan looked helpless.
"General Bai Yu!"
Master Xu suppressed his smile and was about to speak and explain. At this time, outside the door, Mrs. Lu came over with a wooden tray with two bowls of hot soup on it.
"What's wrong? Who is the good person?"
Mrs. Lu came forward with a wooden plate and put the soup on the wooden table while asking. Just outside the door, she vaguely heard Bai Yu saying who he wanted to beat, so he was very curious.
It turns out that Mrs. Lu just left to serve soup.
In the study room.
Bai Yu watched his wife put the hot soup on the wooden table, sighed, glanced at Bai Yan, and then said to his wife.
"I'm not Miss Xu yet. Now I'm following that boy Bai Yan. I don't see what's good about that boy. If you follow that boy, huh, you're asking for trouble."
As Bai Yu spoke, he turned his head, as if he didn't look down on Bai Yan at all.
"ah!"
When Mrs. Lu heard Bai Yu's words, her smiling face suddenly became astonished, doubting her own ears.
He looked at Miss Xu and saw that she nodded.
Then he looked at Bai Yan, who had a wry smile on his face.
Finally, he looked at his beloved Bai Yu.
To be honest, Lu was a little caught off guard when she suddenly heard about this. She was not prepared at all. After all, in her eyes, Master Xu was a disciple of Bian Que. Even in the Bai family, her father Bai Zhong was treated as a distinguished guest, and he was not polite at all.
Don't dare to be negligent in the slightest.
So when she suddenly heard that Master Xu had followed Bai Yan, Master Lu didn't expect it at all and was a little stupid.
But thinking of what Bai Yu said later, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but give Bai Yu a roll of her eyes in her heart.
That boy is not good.
You, Mr. Bai, would have thought so hard to win over her back then, and would even continue the ruined engagement.
That boy is not good.
Who was it in Bai's family back then? I thought about it all day long. Whenever guests came to the door, the conversation was always about this guy. Even when he was still a doctor, he made friends with the world and said frankly that this guy would definitely surpass himself in the future. When he heard someone praise him,
When I was a kid, I was happier than when someone praised me.
"It doesn't matter if Miss Xu follows the wise nephew. Although the wise nephew is now a general of the Qin State, it is inevitable that there will be no villains to harm him while Miss Xu is here."
Mrs. Lu came back to her senses, looked at Master Xu and said, after talking about it, she looked at Bai Yu: "Then we and my wife can rest assured!"
Next to wooden table.
Master Xu, who had just been interrupted in her explanation, looked at Lu after hearing Lu's words, and then looked at General Bai Yu looking away with an angry look on his face. At this time, she finally understood why the general came all the way back from Yanmen.
, just to see General Bai Yu.
Why did Bai Yan put so much effort into saving General Bai Yu?
"Yes! Master Xu knows it, Madam Lu can rest assured!"
Master Xu didn't explain anything more and bowed to Mr. Lu.
With the sunset.
Bai Yan took Master Xu and had dinner at Bai Yu's mansion. At first, Bai Yu was upset because Bai Yan concealed his true origin and name.
However, under Lu's persuasion and after drinking a few glasses of wine, Bai Yu completely let go of his heart, and the relationship immediately became closer again. Later, he didn't care about Zou Xing at all.
Perhaps this is why Bai Yan has always respected and trusted Bai Yu from the beginning to the end.
Bai Yu has a straightforward nature, and Zou Xing is a complete stranger to Bai Yu. Moreover, Master Zou of Qi State was also kind to Bai Yan, not Bai Yu.
There is no direct relationship between Bai Yu and Master Zou's son.
Therefore, for Bai Yu, the only problem that exists is Bai Yan's concealment, not his identity. Even if Bai Yan is not Zou Xing, it still does not prevent Bai Yu from liking Bai Yan.
At the banquet.
Bai Yan and Bai Yu became uncle and nephew due to chance and inhumane circumstances.
And all this time, the uncle and nephew rarely had the opportunity to drink happily.
At first, he had to command the cavalry in Yangcheng, then Bai Yu was poisoned, and then Bai Yu had to take care of himself.
Therefore, on this day, Bai Yu and Bai Yan rarely drank happily together.
Bai Yan drank for a long time and was slightly drunk. Under Bai Yu's questioning, he once again talked about the battle in Gaonu City, the battle between Yanyu, the fallen soldiers, and the buried graves.
Bai Yan's eyes were red, and while he was sad, he also told Bai Yu that he had already paid homage to those soldiers when he came back.
the other side.
Bai Yu also held the wine cup and kept drinking cup after cup. His trembling hands were not because of physical pain, but because tears had already filled his eyes.
After three rounds of drinking.
Bai Yu fell into memories, talking to Bai Yan about the past when he led the cavalry to fight together, and the wars he experienced with those generals. As he talked, tears flowed down uncontrollably.
One name after another.
Nowadays, many of them have been buried forever in foreign lands, buried in Baiyu, places that are difficult to visit again.
Thinking of happy things and sad things, accompanied by the drunkenness and memories, Bai Yu fell drunk on the wooden table and kept mumbling.
In the main hall.
When Master Lu and Master Xu came in again, they saw a drunken Bai Yu and a slightly red-faced Bai Yan.
Mrs. Lu ordered the maids and slaves behind her to clean the wooden table.
Lu didn't blame Bai Yan for Bai Yu's drunkenness to the point of unconsciousness. Seeing the tears still remaining on Bai Yu's vicissitudes of life, Lu just felt distressed.
Perhaps only by drinking with Bai Yan can Bai Yu vent the things he has been suppressing in his heart.
This is something that even her wife cannot do.
After all, Bai Yan was the successor arranged by Bai Yu himself for the Bai family's cavalry.
For Bai Yu, this is far more than just an ordinary handover of power, but also an inheritance. It not only inherits the Bai family's iron cavalry, but also inherits the experience in Bai Yu's heart and the past.
"General!"
Master Xu looked at Bai Yan, and then glanced at Bai Yu on the other side.
Seeing that Bai Yan was about to get up, Master Xu quickly stretched out his delicate hands to help Bai Yan up.
Bai Yan did not refuse Master Xu's help. Bai Yu was drunk. It would not be good if he acted like he was fine.
"Miss Xu, the room has been arranged. We will stay here tonight."
Lu said to Master Xu.
Master Xu nodded.
Bai Yan felt his arms placed on Master Xu's thin shoulders, leaning on Master Xu's body. Although it was a bit unnatural, it was much better than a year or two ago.
After all, he is no longer the young boy he was when he first entered the world. After experiencing countless things, he is now less immature and shy than before, and he has become more mature amid all kinds of conspiracies and calculations.
Soon, Bai Yan was helped to a room by Master Xu, illuminated by the maid's candlelight.
As the maid left, Bai Yan stretched naturally.
Master Xu was also standing next to Bai Yan at this time, his pretty face slightly rosy.
Looking at the young man pretending to be drunk in front of him, Master Xu didn't know it at first. When he saw Bai Yan for the first time in the restaurant, he thought Bai Yan was really drunk, and the same thing happened later.
It wasn't until he had been with Bai Yan for a long time that Master Xu realized that from beginning to end, Bai Yan had never been really drunk when it came to drinking.
There are times when you are drunk, but you wake up quickly and don't need any support at all.
And every time I use support, it's either to plot against the other person or to save face for the other person. No matter what, it's just for show.
"General, I'm going to get you some water!"
Master Xu said to Bai Yan.
Then without waiting for Bai Yan to answer, he turned around and left the room.
When Bai Yan saw this, it was too late to stop him, and he was a little dumbfounded.
After a while.
When Master Xu came back from fetching water, he happened to meet Mr. Lu.
Mrs. Lu was originally worried that the maid was careless and could not take good care of Bai Yan, so she came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, standing outside the door, she suddenly saw Master Xu holding a basin.
"Miss Xu, what is this?"
Mrs. Lu stared at this scene in stunned silence, her mouth slightly opened, she looked at Master Xu, then at the basin in Master Xu's hand, and then looked at Master Xu again, her expression gradually becoming dull.
Miss Xu, a disciple of Bian Que!!!
Mrs. Lu slowly turned her head and looked at the door.
Bring water to Bai Yan???
At this moment, Lu even wondered if his eyes were dazzled or if he was dreaming.
this!
At this moment, Mrs. Lu couldn't wait to let her beloved Bai Yu get up. She quickly took a look and saw that Miss Xu was actually bringing water to Bai Yan. And judging from her appearance, it was obviously not just once or twice.
Could it be that that boy Bai Yan actually ordered Miss Xu?
With this thought, Lu's whole body was stunned.
"Mrs. Lu!"
Master Xu stood outside the door, not expecting that Mrs. Lu would suddenly come over. Then he noticed that he was holding a wooden basin in his hand, took a look, and then smiled awkwardly.
However, Master Xu didn't explain too much. He nodded to Mrs. Lu and walked into the room.
After Mrs. Lu came to her senses, she followed behind.
inside the room.
Master Xu put the wooden basin on the wooden stand, turned around, looked at Bai Yan who was pretending to be drunk, and then looked at the confused Lu family, rubbing his little hands, not knowing what to say.
On the other hand, after Mrs. Lu came back to her senses, although she hid it well, her eyes were still very strange.
"Go wipe the general!"
Mrs. Lu asked her personal maid to go forward and apply Bai Yan's face.
After watching the maid prepare the ceremony and go to apply on Bai Yan's face, Mrs. Lu said to Master Xu.
"Miss Xu, that one,"
Mrs. Lu seemed to be frightened by what happened just now, so she hesitated to speak.
"Miss Xu following Bai Yan is a rare good thing for Bai Yan. However, if possible, it is better not to make it public. After all, it is necessary to be on guard against others. Once someone around Bai Yan has a different intention, he knows that Miss Xu is Bian Que.
Disciple, I will definitely be on guard against Miss Xu!"
Lu hesitated for a while, but finally said what was in her heart, asking Master Xu to follow Bai Yan to keep it a secret first and not to tell anyone.
"Mrs. Lu, don't worry, Master Xu knows it well!"
Master Xu nodded slowly after hearing what Lu said.
As he spoke, Master Xu once again could clearly feel that Lu, like Bai Yu, was sincerely good to the general.
Otherwise, if other people knew about this matter, they would probably want more and more people to know about it, and the wider the news, the better. By then, the more nobles would know about her, the more connections and favors they would be able to gain for the Bai family.
.
But Lu and Bai Yu put Bai Yan first.
Standing next to the bed.
Master Xu looked at Bai Yan who was pretending to be asleep. Only at this time did she dare to look directly at him.
Recalling the way Lu saw her holding the water outside the room just now, Master Xu's heart was full of gratitude. This heartfelt gratitude was for Bai Yan, not others.
Because only Master Xu knew that whether it was just now or in the main hall, Lu and Bai Yu respected her so much because they thought she was a disciple of Bian Que, but in fact, her identity was actually a poison master, which made people feel frightened.
The poison master.
If Lu or Bai Yu knew her identity, would they still do this?
Still have such unreserved trust and respect?
Look at the young man's profile.
The young man knew her identity, still trusted her, kept her secret, and even shaped Bian Que's identity for her, so that she could be respected by others.
Master Xu cannot describe this gratitude.
I recall that in Handan, the young man was avenged by Mrs. Xu of the Xu family and almost died that night.
At this moment, looking at Bai Yan who was pretending to be asleep, Master Xu thought too much that this young man was not that good, or even worse.
Then there wouldn't be so many beauties around him, and he wouldn't be missed by so many women, and she wouldn't have to keep her love hidden in her heart.
inside the room.
"Miss Xu, just leave this place to the maid. You've been working hard all the way, so Miss Xu should go and rest first."
Lu looked at Master Xu and said softly.
Seeing the maid serving Bai Yan, Mrs. Lu wanted Master Xu to rest first.
As for the scene just now, I will wait until my beloved Bai Yu gets up tomorrow and then talk to Bai Yu.
"okay!"
Master Xu came back to his senses and saw Lu's maid serving Bai Yan. He nodded to Lu, looked at Bai Yan again, then turned around and followed Lu out of the room.
············
The second day.
As it was still dark, the servants in the mansion began to get busy.
In the main hall.
The breakfast food was particularly good. Bai Yu and Bai Yan stared at each other while eating their breakfast.
Because Bai Yan returned to Xianyang and had reported to the palace before, Bai Yan would naturally go to the palace to attend court today. Therefore, when Bai Yu got up, Bai Yan had also gotten up.
"Tell me, what tricks did you use to make Miss Xu stay by your side willingly?"
After Bai Yu finished eating, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, knelt down at the wooden table and looked at Bai Yan.
Thinking back to what his wife said when he woke up, the way Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan felt even more wrong.
Last night, because of my wife's interruption, I still couldn't figure out why Miss Xu was willing to follow Bai Yan. When I woke up, my wife actually said that Miss Xu actually brought water to this boy Bai Yan last night.
Bring water???
Let Miss Xu bring the water!!
Is this guy worthy?
No matter how Bai Yu looked at it, he couldn't see how Bai Yan was qualified to let Miss Xu carry water. In terms of status, it was true that Bai Yan was a general of the Qin State, but there were people with higher rank than Bai Yan. Lun Shao, Bai Yan and Mei
Men are even more difficult to hit.
Why did Miss Xu follow this guy willingly?
Could it be that this kid coerced me, or used some unknown means to force me? Well, it's possible!
"Bai Yan doesn't dare to use any means!"
When Bai Yan heard Bai Yu's question, he had just finished eating and could only answer while eating.
However, Bai Yu didn't believe it at all when he heard Bai Yan's words.
Fortunately, when he heard the footsteps outside, it must be that Miss Xu had already arrived, and since he had to rush to court, Bai Yu didn't bother to worry about it so much. He just told Bai Yan again what his wife told Miss Xu last night.
Bai Yan smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then nodded.
While eating and looking at Bai Yu, Bai Yan naturally would not tell Master Xu's true identity.
And Bai Yan would not tell Bai Yu that in fact, compared to Master Xu's identity as a poison master, the identity of the Bao clan, Zhao Qiu's identity, and Mr. Wei's identity in Yanmen, the Bao clan is better in the former, but Zhao Qiu and Wei Lao later
Just pick one up and spread it out, it's enough to cause a sensation.
One is the subjugated princess of the Zhao Kingdom.
One is Mr. Wei, who even Ying Zheng was willing to eat and ride with!
Xianyang Palace.
Bai Yan was wearing the official uniform of the Qin State and wearing a rank, and when he and Bai Yu rode a carriage to the outside of the palace, he saw that hundreds of civil and military officials were already waiting outside the palace.
Bai Yan and some officials had already known each other.
The highly respected people include Hu Lao, Mao Jiao and others, while the young officials include not only Tai Jing, who was just promoted, but also Meng Tian and others.
When they saw Bai Yan, who was thousands of miles away and served as a county lieutenant in Yanmen, returning to Xianyang, Meng Tian and others were very enthusiastic and bowed to Bai Yan.
When Bai Yan was returning greetings to Meng Tian and others, he noticed Li Xin not far away from the corner of his eye.
Seeing Li Xin clearly seeing him but turning a blind eye and continuing to talk to other officials, Bai Yan sighed, knowing that this was because Li Xin was still brooding about the previous incident.
Bai Yan couldn't do anything about it.
When Li Lu and Li Liang brought Li Xin to look for him, Bai Yan knew that Li Xin would have a chance in the future and even lead troops to destroy Yan and Chu, so he did not dare to act rashly, fearing that the gain would not be worth the loss.
After all, Li Xin came to ask for troops without an edict at that time. Li Chong, Li Ji, and the Li clan were all there at that time. If this spread to Ying Zheng, it would be nothing more than the favor of his parents.
It was with good intentions.
Unexpectedly, he was misunderstood as a villain and was unwilling to help, so he pulled Li Xin in. Bai Yan couldn't argue with this matter.
Looking at Li Xin standing next to Lord Changping who had just experienced the pain of losing his son.
"I guess even if I remind Li Xin in the future, I'm afraid it will be regarded as a rift!"
Bai Yan was helpless.
Thinking back to the future when Li Xin and Meng Tian led 200,000 Qin troops to attack Chu, but were finally tricked by Lord Changping and Xiang Yan behind their backs, Bai Yan couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
I hope that Li Xin will listen when I remind him in the future, and it is best to take precautions instead of continuing to treat him as a villain.
Two hundred thousand Qin troops!
While thinking, Bai Yan watched the palace door open and all the officials walking towards the palace.
When Bai Yan followed Mr. Hu and others into the palace gate, he noticed that along the way from the gate to the hundred-step staircase, there were ceremonial instruments placed on both sides, and palace maids and eunuchs were inspecting the instruments.
"It seems that the king attaches great importance to Yan's request for peace! This scale is the most solemn among the Qin rituals."
"Yes! Dukang is the most fertile land in the Yan Kingdom. It is not only suitable for raising war horses, but also the gateway to the Yan Kingdom, not to mention the head of Fan Yuqi. I heard that the king was overjoyed and wanted to
I’ll see the envoy from Yan today.”
"I've heard about it too, but it seems that Mr. Meng Jiameng went to the palace yesterday to see the king and persuaded the king that Chu State has not handed over the murderer yet, so trouble will be avoided. It would be better to meet the envoy of Yan as soon as possible."
"I see!"
As he walked towards the hundred steps of the palace, Bai Yan, standing among the officials, listened to the chatter of the officials around him, full of surprises.
Will the king meet Jing Ke later?
Bai Yan frowned and looked towards the magnificent palace hall not far away, on the hundred steps of stairs.
"What's wrong? Brother Bai Yan."
Qiang Yu and Bai Yan were walking side by side, so he noticed that Bai Yan was looking straight towards the palace.
"fine!"
When Bai Yan heard Qiang Yu's words, he turned around and said with a smile.
Bai Yan was caught off guard by Ying Zheng's sudden summons, but at the moment, it was impossible for Bai Yan to tell Qiang Yu that the envoy of Yan in everyone's eyes, Jing Ke, whom the king was about to summon immediately, was actually an assassin, Prince Yan Dan.
The assassin looking for the assassination of Ying Zheng.
"Brother Bai Yan, remember what you just said. Don't leave in a hurry today. Ru'er has always wanted to see you. I hope that for my sake, brother Bai Yan, don't refuse."
Qiang Yu looked at Bai Yan and didn't notice a trace of worry in Bai Yan's eyes. This dark-skinned man showed a shy smile when talking about Lu Ru, which showed his love for that woman.
"Yeah! Definitely!"
When Bai Yan heard Qiang Yu's words, he smiled and nodded.
However, looking at the huge palace in front of him, Bai Yan thought that Ying Zheng would summon Yan's envoy Jing Ke later, so he couldn't help but feel a little disturbed in his breathing, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, fearing that things might go awry.
Other officials said that Meng Jia went to the palace yesterday to ask for an audience.
If there is no accident, Meng Jia has already received Jing Ke's money. Whether he knows it or not, Jing Ke must have achieved his goal.
That is to say.
When Jing Ke is summoned to the palace, he will assassinate Ying Zheng in the main hall in front of all the officials.

Tian Sui was there when he was liberated from Zhongmou City, so Bai Yan had ordered the cavalry to take action before others came into contact.
