Chapter 397 No one is perfect, so if you dont believe that Bai Yan has no flaws.
"Ahem~what? Give Bai Yan a fiefdom?"
In Linzi City, among the confused people was Lu Qi, who had just woken up from drunkenness.
Since he came to Linzi to do business and expand his connections in Qi, it was natural that he would get drunk. Last night, Lu Qi and some scholars drank until dawn and then slept for the whole day before waking up.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qi, who was sober and having dinner, suddenly heard the concubine beside him chatting and inadvertently mentioned a topic that was being discussed everywhere in Linzi City today.
Bai Yan gets a fiefdom!!!
For a moment, Lu Qi spat out the rice grains in his mouth, causing him to choke and cough. The two concubines quickly reached out and touched Lu Qi's back.
After Lu Qi came to his senses, he was completely stunned and even forgot to wipe off the fish foam from the corners of his mouth.
"Is this true or false?"
Lu Qi felt that his whole head was dizzy.
Lu Qi, who grew up in Xianyang, Qin State, knows best how difficult it is to obtain a fiefdom in Qin State.
What's more, Bai Yan is not from Qin, but from Qi!
"It should be true, gentleman. I heard from outsiders that it was because the general of the Qin State blocked the assassin for the King of Qin and almost died in the Xianyang Palace that he was rewarded for his merits!"
A beautiful concubine who was a few years older than Lu Qi said to Lu Qi.
Another beautiful concubine, who was about the same age, also nodded in agreement.
"What? There is still this matter?"
Lu Qi suddenly heard the concubine's words, and turned his head in surprise, looking at the two beautiful concubines in front of him who he particularly liked. Suddenly, he thought of the scene he had seen with his uncle Tian Cong when he was in Tian Mansion a few days ago.
What I once said after arriving at the bamboo slips in Xianyang, Qin State.
At that time, he was still curious about what was happening in Xianyang and why his uncle said that Yan was in danger of subjugation.
He didn't even ask about Feiyan and Bai Yan anymore.
Yep!!!
I understand. At that time, my uncle must have learned from the bamboo slips that Bai Yan was trying to save Ying Zheng. Moreover, in the letters at that time, it was very likely that my uncle believed that Bai Yan would not survive, so he did not ask further questions.
Right, that is it!
"You two are at home!"
Lu Qi thought that Bai Yan had obtained the fief, so his uncle must have known about this. Thinking of this, Lu Qi quickly stood up and walked out of the house without caring about eating.
The two concubines knelt down behind the wooden table, watching Lu Qi's hurried away figure, and looked at each other with doubts on their faces.
Under night.
Lu Qi came to Tian Mansion, and under the leadership of the servants of Tian Mansion, he soon came to the study to see Tian Feiyan.
However, Tian Feiyan was sitting on his knees behind the wooden table by the window with a gloomy look on his face. Looking at his face, it was obvious that he had just been angry.
And more importantly, in the study room with Tian Feiyan were his uncle Tian Ding, and his cousins Tian Cong and Tian Sui.
Lu Qi was a little surprised to see that even Tian Sui, who was guarding Muling Pass, rushed back from Yishan Camp.
"Uncle!"
Lu Qi entered the study, glanced at Tian Feiyan, came to Tian Ding, and bowed his hands in a ceremony.
There were dozens of candle lamps all around the study room. The whole study room was illuminated by the candle lamps and was extremely bright. Lu Qi also noticed that his uncle Tian Ding's face was not very good either, and he seemed to have a displeased look on his face.
"Lucy, you came just in time!"
Tian Ding breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Qi.
"Tian Cong said that you have a very good relationship with Bai Yan. Bai Yan took good care of you when you were in Yingchuan, and you were able to make a fortune while you were away from home for training. It was also thanks to Bai Yan's care. Is that right?
?”
Tian Ding turned his head and looked directly at Lu Qi in front of him.
Tian Ding knew a long time ago that Lu Qi had a connection with Qin general Bai Yan, and when Tian Cong returned from Yanmen, he also mentioned that Lu Qi and Bai Yan had a very good relationship, so now seeing Lu Qi and Tian Ding
So I asked.
Under Tian Ding's gaze.
When Lu Qi heard the inquiry, he couldn't help but beat his heart when he thought of Bai Yan getting the fiefdom.
"Back to uncle, yes!"
After Lu Qi finished speaking, his head was running wildly. He looked at his uncle in front of him and added with cupped hands: "Now it's not Lu Qi alone. The entire Lu family has a close relationship with Bai Yan. Bai Yan took care of Lu Qi a lot in Yingchuan.
When I was in Shangjun, I also interacted with my uncle Lu Jia's family. Now, if there is no accident, my uncle should still be in Yanmen."
Lu Qi was not stupid. Although he didn't know why his uncle mentioned that he had a good relationship with Bai Yan after he learned that Bai Yan had obtained the fiefdom, since it was a question, Lu Qi immediately dragged the entire Lu family into trouble, especially his uncle.
Lu Jia.
Even though Tian Ding, who used to have a kind face in the past, looked like an amiable elder, Lu Qi knew that the reason for this was entirely because Tian Ding was Lu Qi's uncle. Outside, his uncle Tian Ding was a very powerful minister, in charge of everything.
The power of life and death was originally in the hands of my uncle, and countless nobles were eliminated.
His prestige is still known to this day. Even if you find a noble family in Linzi City, no matter whether it is a famous family or not, even if you go to the Prime Minister Hou Sheng's mansion to cause trouble, as long as it is a close relative of your uncle, even the Prime Minister Hou Sheng and the prime minister of the country will not dare to be angry.
Whatever.
This was the status of my uncle Tian Ding in Linzi, Qi State.
Everyone would like to see a Tian Ding who serves the Qi State, rather than an angry Qi State clan.
In the study room.
When Tian Ding heard Lu Qi's words, Lu Jia's appearance came to mind, and his face couldn't help but become gentler.
When his deceased wife was older in the Lu family, Tian Ding still clearly remembered that Lu Jia had always doted on him. When his wife married to Qi State and married him, Tian Ding, Lu Jia ignored the jokes of passers-by and cried all the way from Qin State to Qi State alive.
Guo was crying every day, and he was the one who cried the loudest, causing his wife to constantly comfort him.
"I think you should also hear about Bai Yan's acquisition of the fiefdom!"
Tian Ding asked.
"Lu Qi just found out!"
Lu Qi bowed his hands in front of Tian Ding in ceremony.
"Since you have a close relationship with him, you will follow me to Xianyang, Qin State. I want to meet Bai Yan in person!"
When Tian Ding talked about this matter and said that he was going to see Bai Yan, he glanced at his daughter calmly. Seeing that his daughter was still fighting with him, Tian Ding felt helpless and couldn't help but become irritated.
Why is Bai Yan still alive? What on earth is Yan Dan doing? Didn't he say that he put poison on the dagger?
At this moment, no matter how good-hearted Tian Ding is, when he thinks of Yan Dan, he can't help but secretly curse him as a waste.
"Uncle is going to Qin?"
When Lu Qi heard Tian Ding's words, he looked up at Tian Ding in shock.
Lu Qi never expected that his uncle Tian Ding, a clan relative of the King of Qi, would actually go to Qin.
Na Tian Feiyan
Lu Qi turned to look at Tian Feiyan. At this time, Lu Qi seemed to have guessed something, and finally understood why Tian Feiyan looked depressed.
"When will uncle leave?"
Lu Qi turned to look at his uncle, raised his hands and asked, knowing that Bai Yan had obtained the fiefdom, Lu Qi came to Tian Mansion to say goodbye to Tian Feiyan.
After all, Bai Yan was seriously injured before and his life was hanging by a thread. Now he survived the disaster and obtained a fiefdom. As a close friend, he, Lu Qi, had to put aside no matter how important things were. No matter what, he had to go back to Xianyang immediately to visit Bai Yan.
Give it a try.
But what was unexpected was that my uncle actually wanted to go to Qin, and judging from his appearance, he also wanted to meet Bai Yan in person.
"Two days later!"
Tian Ding sighed and said softly.
Lu Qi nodded when he heard this.
"Little sister, what's wrong~!"
Tian Cong suddenly asked with concern, and then Lu Qi turned his head and saw Tian Feiyan who had been looking out the window. Although he did not make a sound, two lines of tears were shed on his expressionless cheeks, silently.
Looking out the window.
Tian Ding naturally saw this scene, and he who was still a little unhappy at first instinctively showed distressed eyes.
As Tian Feiyan's father, he has never seen his daughter cry since Tian Feiyan was very young. Tian Ding also knows that it's not that his daughter doesn't cry, but that she sensibly hides her when she is sad.
Crying doesn't make people worry.
at the moment.
Seeing his daughter silent but crying in front of him, Tian Ding's heart almost broke.
"Tian Sui!"
Tian Ding turned his head and shouted angrily. Tian Sui, who was also angry at first, saw his father's angry look and stood up quickly. Looking at his little sister's tearful appearance, the angry look on his face disappeared and revealed a stern expression.
A flattering smile.
"Yan'er, it's all my brother's fault for having a bad tone! I don't blame Yan'er for my brother. I really don't blame Yan'er. It's all because of my brother who took people there privately! That's why he was killed, and Bai Yan was a general of the Qin State.
, there is nothing wrong with what you do!”
Tian Sui said in a low voice, it was hard to imagine what a Qi general stationed at the Yishan camp would look like.
In fact, aside from seeing his father's murderous look in his eyes, which was frightening, Tian Sui also looked distressed when he saw his little sister crying. He, his eldest brother Tian Cong, and Tian Xian in Chu State all
I have met my mother, but my younger sister Fei Yan is the only one in the family. I have not seen my mother since she was a child.
However, unlike the three brothers, the one who has been the most sensible since childhood is also the younger sister.
Seeing his little sister crying, Tian Sui felt extremely guilty. He had also heard that his little sister gave his mother's jade pendant to Bai Yan. Thinking that Bai Yan was in Zhongmu and killed all his subordinates, he couldn't control it for a moment.
Emotionally, the younger sister was not allowed to be with Bai Yan, and her tone was a little tough when she spoke.
"Yan'er, can you forgive me as a brother?"
Tian Sui looked at Tian Feiyan with a flattering look, lowered his head, trying to make his little sister laugh.
Seeing the little sister's tear-filled eyes and the tears flowing down her cheeks, Tian Sui felt extremely uncomfortable and full of regret.
"How about, father, please take Yan'er to the Qin Kingdom!"
Tian Sui wasn't very good at coaxing people. With his position, when he was angry in the past, other women would try their best to make him happy. But now that he couldn't coax him, he turned around and thought of a harmful move.
, but it is also the most effective method.
Tian Sui knew that when the little sister was sad, she didn't listen to him at all. It was better to make the little sister happy first and then apologize slowly.
"Yes, father, why don't you let Yan'er go to Qin!"
Tian Cong, who was still wearing the official uniform of Qi State, heard Tian Sui's words and softly agreed.
Sighing, as the eldest brother, seeing his little sister rarely crying made him feel uncomfortable and heartbroken. At the moment, he just wanted to make his little sister laugh.
in a blink.
There were four men in the study room. Tian Cong and Tian Sui both hoped that their father would agree to Tian Feiyan to follow him to Qin. Tian Ding was caught off guard when he heard this, while Lu Qi looked at this scene in stunned silence.
After a few breaths.
Tian Ding, who couldn't bear to see his daughter cry, could only sigh helplessly.
"Yan'er, don't cry, my father promised to take you to Qin!"
Tian Ding looked at his daughter's tearful appearance and felt heartbroken. He looked at his daughter Tian Feiyan's tear-filled eyes and finally agreed.
However, in Tian Ding's heart, even if his daughter liked Bai Yan again, Tian Ding would not agree to let the two of them be together unless Bai Yan was willing to give up his identity as a Bai family and a Qin person, leave Qin State, and come to Qi State to serve as his wife.
official.
"Okay! My daughter doesn't cry anymore!"
When Tian Feiyan heard his father's promise, his expressionless face finally showed a look of grievance. He sobbed twice and then raised his hand to wipe the tears from his eyes.
Such a look.
While Tian Ding, Tian Cong, and Tian Sui breathed a sigh of relief, they also felt even more sorry for Tian Feiyan like this.
At this moment, the three fathers and sons were filled with sighs in their hearts. It would be great if the person that the younger sister fell in love with was not a descendant of the Bai family, a native of Qin, or a general of Qin.
"Lucy!"
Tian Ding stood up, glanced at Lu Qi, and said to Lu Qi.
When Lu Qi saw this, he knew that his uncle wanted him to go out, so he quickly followed Tian Ding and walked out of the study.
Down the corridor.
Looking at the sky above the yard, looking at the vast stars.
"Rumors are worse than personal contact. Lu Qi, since you are familiar with Bai Yan, let's talk about Bai Yan."
Tian Ding stood with his hands behind his back and spoke softly.
Since he planned to see Bai Yan, Tian Ding naturally wanted to get to know Bai Yan before setting off.
The advantages should be understood and the disadvantages should be exploited. This is the most common principle, but few people can do it. However, for Tian Ding, it is one of the most commonly used methods.
"yes!"
When Lu Qi heard Tian Ding's inquiry, he stood beside Tian Ding and saluted Tian Ding.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Qi thought about it and shook his head.
"Speaking of which, Bai Yan is the most talented person Lu Qi has ever seen, and he is also the kindest person."
Lu Qi said.
A year ago, during the Qin State's invasion of Korea, Bai Yan had just become famous. Lu Qi once came to Linzi, Qi State, to visit Tian Mansion. When talking about Bai Yan at that time, although Lu Qi did not know that Bai Yan was Yan,
But he also unabashedly praised Bai Yan's talents in front of his uncle, and told about the Battle of Yangcheng and other wars.
It was now more than a year later, and this time my uncle Tian Ding took the initiative to ask, and he was going to meet Bai Yan in person soon. Lu Qi thought about it, and then told him what he knew about Bai Yan.
The evening breeze in May still has a refreshing coolness.
As Lu Qi continued to talk in the corridor, Tian Ding gradually got a rough impression of Bai Yan.
"Tell me about your shortcomings!"
Tian Ding listened for half an hour. During that half an hour, all Tian Ding heard from Lu Qi were words of praise.
Seeing this, Tian Ding looked at Lu Qi and said meaningfully.
"shortcoming!"
Lu Qi's little thoughts were discovered and he laughed quickly, but along with Tian Ding's words, Lu Qi was also thinking about Bai Yan's shortcomings in his mind.
But this time.
Lu Qi thought for a long time and was silent for a long time.
Five breaths, ten breaths. As time went on, Tian Ding looked at Lu Qi, from a profound look to a frown, and then his eyes became a little solemn.
Everyone has shortcomings, and Bai Yan is definitely no exception.
In Tian Ding's eyes, it is easy to see how a person's character is based on how serious a person's shortcomings are.
But Lu Qi's silence now gave Tian Ding some bad premonitions.
I don't know how long it took.
"Uncle, I can't think of it!"
Lu Qi frowned and looked at his uncle helplessly. Lu Qi really thought about it for a long time, but Lu Qi couldn't think of any shortcomings in Bai Yan despite racking his brains.
At this moment, looking at his uncle Tian Ding's dissatisfied eyes, Lu Qi could only smile bitterly.
All this time, Lu Qi had never thought about this question. Now that his uncle suddenly asked him, Lu Qi thought about it. Not only his uncle, but also Lu Qi himself was shocked by this thought.
Recalling that when Qin was conquering Korea, Bai Yan once concealed his identity. However, although he concealed his identity, Bai Yan not only did not break his promise to help him, but he was not even vague when helping him.
When Korea was destroyed, when he saw that he was not in Yingchuan, before leading his troops to leave, he personally helped him spread out his shop and asked some connections to take care of him. When Lu Qi thinks about this today, he is so moved that he can't help but burst into tears.
, my heart is full of warmth.
There are really no shortcomings.
Looking at his uncle's suspicious eyes, Lu Qi smiled sarcastically, but this time, there was no trace of guilt in his eyes.
"Then there are always people around him who are dissatisfied!"
Tian Ding frowned and looked at Lu Qi.
Bai Yan treats Lu Qi well, and Lu Qi cannot detect Bai Yan's shortcomings. Tian Ding can understand this, but Tian Ding believes that there will always be people who are dissatisfied with Bai Yan. Those people must be dissatisfied with Bai Yan for some reason.
.
Those reasons are Bai Yan’s shortcomings!
In the study room.
Tian Cong and Tian Sui saw that their little sister Tian Feiyan no longer shed tears. After breathing a sigh of relief, they quickly smiled to make their little sister happy.
But his father's words outside the study once again attracted Tian Cong, Tian Sui's eyes, and even Tian Feiyan's eyes looked outside the door.
In the quiet atmosphere, Lu Qi's voice sounded outside the door.
"Uncle, that's not the case! In Yingchuan County, there are only one person who knows Bai Yan. Lu Qi has never seen Bai Yan treat him badly. Among the officials with Bai Yan's connections in Yingchuan County, there is one
Counting them all, they all admired Bai Yan very much. One of the officials transferred from Yingchuan, named Feng Wen, made a ceremony in the direction of the north when he left, and swore personally that Bai Yan would protect his family now and in the future.
If Bai Yan is in need, he will die without mercy!"
When Tian Cong heard this, he looked at Tian Sui, and their moods became even more depressed.
Especially looking at the little sister Tian Feiyan next to him, the better Bai Yan is, the more difficult it will be to deal with the little sister and Bai Yan.
"Is there anyone in the army who is dissatisfied?"
Father's faint voice came from outside the door. Tian Cong and Tian Sui simply stopped talking at this time and listened quietly. They both believed that no one is perfect, and Bai Yan was no exception. If they didn't believe it, they asked their father if he didn't.
When the little sister hears about Bai Yan's shortcomings, she will definitely change her mind about Qin general Bai Yan.
Soon, Lu Qi's voice also sounded faintly.
"Uncle, no. Lu Qi has been to Yanmen. In the mansion in Shanwu City, Yanmen, he has seen the wooden tablets of school captains with their names and scrolls of bamboo slips with names engraved on them. Lu Qi asked
I know that the names on the wooden tablets of the captains and the names on the bamboo slips were written by Bai Yan himself. On one occasion, Bai Yan ordered someone to bring money to Lu's shop and asked Lu Qi to find a medicinal herb.
Do you know who it was sent to? It was a poor family, living in the mountains and forests, because their eldest son was disabled during the war. The servant said personally that when he left, the eldest son knelt down and cried bitterly, wishing he could not fight for Bai Yan.
Death, the look in the eyes of his second son and the still young third son is still vivid in his mind! Among the soldiers, Bai Yan has won the hearts of the soldiers!"
Lu Qi's words were vaguely visible, but in the study, Tian Cong listened, and when he came to the back, he looked stunned and absent-minded. As the leader of the army, Qi General Tian Sui had an expression of disbelief, and his eyes
Full of shock, Tian Sui turned his head in a daze and slowly looked out the door. At this moment, Tian Sui could not describe in words how shocking Lu Qi's words were in his heart.
No wonder!
No wonder all his songs in Zhongmucheng were almost dead.
Tian Feiyan, who was standing by the window, naturally saw the appearance of his two brothers. For some reason, a hint of pride quietly emerged in his heart. Even Tian Feiyan didn't understand why he could not control such emotions.
But hearing Lu Qi's looming voice outside, and seeing the shocked looks on the two brothers' faces, Tian Feiyan couldn't help but think of the young man wearing rags by the river outside the city two years ago, and a year ago.
In Zhongmou City, that figure looked at her leaving with a look of reluctance.
"Has uncle ever known Meng Yu?"
"We have met several times!"
"Lü Qi once heard that Meng Yu once wrote to the King of Qin about the incident of Gao Nu in Shangjun, and mentioned Bai Yan in it."
Tian Feiyan stretched out her slender hands, supported the wooden table, and looked out the window with her pretty face.
It was very quiet in the study room. Listening to Lu Qi's faint voice, Tian Feiyan looked at the bright moon in the sky.
Will he be like this, looking up at the night sky in the Qin Kingdom thousands of miles away?
As the sun sets and the sun rises.
Luoyin City in the Qin State was a city with tens of thousands of people. Because it was beside the Weishui River, merchants, pedestrians and traders came and went on the streets of the city early.
At this moment, a hurried man suddenly appeared on the street covered in blood.
"Kill someone, someone killed someone last night!"
The man walked tremblingly, crying for help in panic.
When the surrounding vendors saw this appearance, they all hid in fear.
"What's going on? How many murders has this been in just a few days?"
"Yes! Why have so many people died in Luoyin City recently?"
"I don't know. I heard that five people were found drowned in the Weishui River yesterday. How miserable it was when the bodies were found!"
