Chapter 403 Another Chapter 403: Tian Ding arrives at Luoyin City.
"Drive~!"
"Drive~!!"
On an official road near the Weishui River, more than two hundred cavalrymen wearing Qi armor were driving on the official road, with Qi flags fluttering in the wind.
Among so many cavalry, five exquisite carriages were particularly conspicuous. The slightly muddy ruts left after the rain fell, and as the axles rolled by, a lot of mud and muddy water instantly splashed out.
After a while.
As everyone walked through the forest official road and walked out of the mountains and rivers, what suddenly appeared in front of everyone was a plain, and a large city in the distance was particularly eye-catching.
"Sir, Luoyin City is ahead!"
The general at the head of the cavalry slowed down on his horse, came to a carriage in the middle, and shouted loudly.
The people riding in the carriage were naturally Tian Ding, his daughter and Lu Qi.
"When we get to Luoyin City, we can't leave my father's side! My father will also send his retinue to guard the door at night!"
When Tian Ding heard the general's voice outside, he turned to look at his little girl Tian Feiyan. Although there was no reprimand in his tone, he could clearly feel that there was no doubt in the words, and there was not even room for negotiation.
"I know, father!"
When Tian Feiyan heard his father's words, he looked at him very seriously, but the joy in his beautiful eyes was very conspicuous.
Obviously, I heard my father's words on the surface, but I didn't take it seriously. That's another story.
Sure enough, at the next moment, Tian Feiyan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned sideways and faced the car window, slightly opened the car window curtain with his delicate hands, and looked outside.
In addition to the cavalry soldiers outside, what came into view was endless plains, and a broad river suddenly appeared in the distance.
"Weishui! The source of Qin!"
Tian Feiyan looked at the wide river and felt emotional.
My father once said that the Qin State relied on this river to nourish the Qin people. The Qin State moved its capital for generations, never leaving the Wei River. But with the advent of troubled times, this river not only nourished the Qin people, but also provided uninterrupted support for the Qin State.
to transport food and fodder to the front line.
Thinking of seeing the young man again soon, and thinking of the young man's appearance, Tian Feiyan's heart was filled with anticipation, and the smile on his lips became even brighter.
Tian Feiyan's father, Tian Ding, turned to look at his daughter. He shook his head and sighed, but he did not blame his beloved daughter directly. Anyway, in Tian Ding's eyes, the relationship between his daughter and Bai Yan was
His stance on the matter was extremely firm. After all, it was still what he said, it was absolutely impossible.
And inside the carriage.
Lu Qi was naturally aware of this scene, and looked at his cousin who was overflowing with joy, and then saw his uncle's appearance.
The smart Lu Qi knew clearly that it was better not to speak, so he quickly pretended not to see anything and sat quietly in the car, waiting to arrive at Luoyin City.
But thinking of Bai Yan at this moment, he lowered his head and looked at his uncle from the corner of his eye. Lu Qi's eyes were full of weirdness.
Inside Luoyin City.
In a huge mansion, Bai Yan was looking at the bamboo slips in his study, sipping tea and yawning.
Since he was still injured, Bai Yan, under Ying Zheng's instructions, had been recuperating here in Luoyin.
When it comes to Yanmen, Old General Yang and Chai are present openly, and Old Wei is present secretly, so Bai Yan is not worried.
As for the north, Xun Shuo has been keeping an eye on it.
"It's going to rain again!"
Bai Yan put down the bamboo slips in his hand and looked out the window.
In the blink of an eye, he has been here in Luoyin City for more than a month. However, compared with when he first came to Luoyin City, there were rumors and dead people everywhere. Since he caught those men, they have become quieter.
, no more riots.
Bai Yan knew that those people had always been the diners of the noble clan, and they used to hide in every corner of the city. This was also the reason why the noble clan had the confidence to act recklessly.
And with these people being arrested, those nobles no longer dare to mess around again.
This month, Bai Yan was not in a hurry to interrogate those people.
"Sir! The envoys from the State of Qi have arrived at Luoyin City and will be at the city gate in a moment!"
A trusted soldier suddenly came to the study in a hurry, then came to Bai Yan and handed the edict in his hand to Bai Yan.
"Qi Envoy?"
When Bai Yan heard the words of his confidant, he looked surprised. Then he reached out and took the edict and slowly opened it.
The edict was stamped with the official seal of the State of Qi, the purpose of the mission, and the seals of the cities along the way.
This is true for the envoys of Qi State.
Soon, when he saw the word "Tian Ding" appearing in the list of envoys from Qi State, Bai Yan was stunned, slowly put down the edict, and took a deep breath.
In the past two years.
The word Tian Ding comes to mind, and I have talked about Tian Ding with Mr. Wei many times, but I have never seen Tian Ding in person.
Whether it was when he was in Linzi, Qi State, or when he was driven out of Qi State, Bai Yan had never met Tian Ding himself.
Now, seeing that the envoy of Qi State was really Tian Ding, even Bai Yan, who had walked through the bloody field of corpses, could not calm down for a while.
I remembered that two years ago, it was Tian Ding who personally ordered his servants to drive him out of Qi.
"Give me the order, take the people, and follow me to the city gate to meet the Qi envoy!"
After Bai Yan stabilized his emotions, he slowly stood up.
If it were an ordinary envoy from Qi, Bai Yan would not greet him so solemnly, but the envoy was Tian Ding.
Tian Ding had personally driven him out of Qi State, but Tian Feiyan was a unique person in his heart, so Bai Yan was actually very complicated towards Tian Ding.
Hatred doesn't count, nor does complaining. Even without Tian Ding, he would indeed have left Qi, but not so early, and he wouldn't have met Zou Xing later.
No matter what you say now, he was indeed driven out of Qi State by Tian Ding, and what Tian Ding did at the beginning was a coincidence, which also created a different kind of him.
"promise!"
After hearing Bai Yan's instructions, the confidants quickly accepted the orders.
Luoyin City Gate.
Bai Yan took a carriage and arrived at the city gate. The city gate was already full of Qin officials.
Bai Yan, wearing official uniform and carrying his rank, stepped out of the carriage and slowly looked at the approaching Qi troops in the distance. Looking at the uniform flags and the carriages, Bai Yan couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Qi State, his hometown, is where his parents and family still live.
"General Bai!"
The city magistrate Zhang Guan had also received the news and came to the city gate early to wait. When he saw Bai Yan, he quickly bowed to Bai Yan respectfully.
"Master Zhang!"
Bai Yan heard Zhang Guan's voice, turned around, looked at Zhang Guan, raised his hand and returned the greeting to Zhang Guan, as if Zhang Guan had already forgotten about the matter of writing to Xianyang in a hurry, or he didn't take it to heart at all.
After the ceremony.
Bai Yan did not chat too much with Zhang Guan and turned to look at the Qi cavalry who had already arrived in front of him.
"stop!!!"
The leader of the Qi general is a man in his thirties, wearing Qi armor, with thick eyebrows and sharp eyes.
When Bai Yan saw this, he looked at the man calmly and looked at him.
The general of Qi State sat on his horse and saluted Bai Yan. Since the general was from Qi, Bai Yan's title of Qin State was naturally of no use to that general.
After the ceremony.
The general of Qi turned his horse around, came to a carriage, dismounted, and bowed his hands in front of the carriage in salute.
"grown ups!"
The general of Qi didn't say anything, but after a few breaths, the curtain of the carriage slowly opened, and Tian Ding's figure stepped out of the carriage.
Bai Yan, who was standing in front of Qin Li and Zhang Guan, saw Tian Ding for the first time at this moment.
He is in his forties and has a burly body. He is not as fat as Bai Yan, but he is also a little fat. However, compared to Bai Yan, Tian Ding feels more stable and has a dignified manner.
Looking at Tian Ding, who was wearing the official uniform of the Qi State, as well as other Qi State officials, as well as Lu Qi, Bai Yan took a deep breath, calmly raised his hand, and saluted Tian Ding, who was leading other Qi State envoys.
"Bai Yan! I've met the Qi envoy!"
Bai Yangong hand-compiled the etiquette.
"Zhang Guan, the commander of Luoyin City, has met the envoy of Qi!"
When Zhang Guan saw Bai Yan doing the ceremony, he quickly followed suit and bowed his hands.
Tian Ding, who was also seeing Bai Yan for the first time, looked at the young man in front of him, who was wearing an official uniform of the Qin State and carrying a rank. His eyes were extremely complex, with expressions of exclamation, surprise, warmth and anger.
Two years ago.
When I first heard the name Bai Yan, Korea had not yet been conquered. When I heard the news about Bai Yan, it happened that Lu Qi was there.
At that time, although he was lamenting why the Qi State could not produce more good young generals, neither he nor his eldest son would have thought that in just two years, the word Bai Yan would appear one after another, and every news accompanying Bai Yan would be enough to cause a sensation.
worldly people.
And today, two years later, the young general who showed his prowess in the past has now become one of the famous young generals who is well-known throughout the world.
He also commanded the Qin State's cavalry and stationed them at Yanmen, serving the Qin State and intimidating many forces in the north.
Under the city gate.
When Tian Ding heard the footsteps behind him, he calmly turned his head to look at the carriage behind him, sighed helplessly, then turned his head and returned the salute to the young man in front of him.
"Qi envoy Tian Ding has met General Bai!"
Tian Ding raised his hand and saluted the young man.
At this moment, as a clan member of the Qi State, Tian Ding, who was a very popular minister and held great power in the Qi State, could never have imagined that the young man in front of him who asked Tian Ding to raise his hand to perform the ceremony was exactly two years ago in the Qi State.
In Linzi, he ordered his servant to drive away the young man himself.
"Qi State official Lin Anshun has met General Bai!"
"Hou Yao, the official of Qi State, pays homage to General Bai!"
"Xunzhou, the doctor of Qi State, pays homage to General Bai!!"
After the ceremony at Tian Ding, the other three accompanying men wearing Qi official uniforms all saluted at Bai Yan.
The three men are all around thirty years old, and what is surprising is that they are all Qi State officials.
Even Zhang Guan, who once boasted of being well-informed, now stared and took a deep breath, feeling his scalp numb as he looked at these Qi ministers in front of him.
Although I have never been to Qi State.
But Zhang Guan could casually tell the origins of these people in front of him. Lin Anshun, after the name of Zhao State Prime Minister Lin Xiangru, is now the city commander of Jucheng in Qi State. The status of Jucheng in Qi State is equivalent to Yongcheng in Qin State. At the time, all the countries were destroyed.
Qi, the Qi people retreated to the last two remaining cities, one was Jimo, and the other was Jucheng. It can be imagined how highly Lin Anshun was valued by the King of Qi in Qi State.
The Qi doctor Hou Yao was the eldest son of the Qi Prime Minister Hou Sheng.
Jixia Academy held a wine ceremony.
Such a battle.
Zhang Guan looked at the scene in front of him and his mouth suddenly felt dry.
The four people in front of me, not to mention Tian Ding, but just any of the others, are all famous figures in Qi State who hold real power.
My own city order.
In front of these people, it's really not enough.
"The envoys have been tired all the way. It's going to rain soon. It's not advisable to stay at the city gate for a long time. Bai Yan has arranged a place for you all. Please!"
Bai Yan put down his hand, looked at Lu Qi calmly, then looked at Tian Ding and others, said softly, and made a gesture of invitation.
After Tian Ding's ceremony, he saw Bai Yan looking at him. Although he felt a little strange, he didn't think much about it and just attributed the reason to his beloved daughter.
"please!"
Tian Ding made a gesture to Bai Yan.
At this moment.
Bai Yan was about to turn around when he suddenly saw behind Tian Ding, on one of the carriages escorted by many uniformed riders, a young girl in uniform standing looking towards him.
Soon, not only Bai Yan, but also everyone else saw the girl.
At this moment, not only passers-by, but also Qin officials and others were all stunned.
When the girl appeared, it seemed as if everything around her was eclipsed except for the woman's face, which was incredibly beautiful.
"Yan'er!!"
Tian Ding noticed the appearance of the others, but it was unclear that it was his daughter again, so he turned his head and looked at his younger daughter Tian Feiyan.
As Tian Ding finished speaking, under the gaze of everyone, the girl in Qi costume reluctantly turned back to the carriage.
Until then.
As the girl disappeared from everyone's sight, many people just came back to their senses.
"What a nice view!"
"I have never seen such a beautiful woman!"
Passers-by, merchants, and even some Qin officials in the distance began to whisper. The voices were very low, but the number of people talking was too many to count.
When Tian Ding saw his daughter returning to the carriage, his eyes were full of love.
One of Yan'er's strengths is that he is well-behaved and sensible. He knows that no matter outside or where he is, in front of outsiders, he will not hurt his father's face and will always be sensible and obedient.
In Bai Yan's mansion.
Due to the arrival of the envoys from Qi State, the mansion quickly became busy and preparations were made for a banquet.
Uncle Bai was busy asking the servants to prepare.
Uncle Bai has been in Luoyin City for a long time. As for the chaos that happened, Uncle Bai originally wanted to get involved in the relationship between Bai Yan and the nobles. His idea was to make both sides take a step back, so that those nobles would no longer be around.
Secretly looking for trouble for Bai Yan, Bai Yan should stop caring about those drowning matters, but this suggestion was rejected by Bai Yan before it could be implemented.
After Bai Bo tried to persuade him several times to no avail, he didn't know Bai Yan's plan, so he could only follow Bai Yan's suggestion and not get involved.
Inside the mansion.
Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue were in the pavilion, looking at the rockery not far away, chatting about things between women.
"Sister, look, the envoy from Qi State is here!"
Bai Yingxue suddenly saw the person wearing Qi costumes in the distance, immediately raised her hand and said to the eldest sister.
When Bai Junzhu heard this, he also turned to look over.
"Um!"
Bai Junzhu looked at the men wearing Qi costumes and nodded slightly with a pretty face.
"Eldest sister, look at the appearance of the city commander Zhang Guan. Why do you feel that those envoys from Qi State seem to be big shots? Eldest sister, who do you think those people are?"
Bai Yingxue looked curious.
"I heard my uncle accidentally mention that the envoy of Qi State is probably Tian Ding!"
Bai Junzhu put away her gaze and looked straight at the middle-aged man who was the leader among the envoys of Qi State. In Bai Junzhu's impression, she had never seen an official who could compare with him in terms of aura and majesty.
The envoy of the State of Qi.
The kind of aura that can only be cultivated by holding power for many years, even his uncle Bai Yu is inferior to him in comparison.
Bai Junzhu understands.
If there are no accidents, that person should be Tian Ding.
"Tian Ding."
When Bai Yingxue heard her eldest sister's words, she looked thoughtfully at the Qi envoy in the distance. However, before she could say anything, a woman appeared, leaving Bai Yingxue stunned in place with her mouth completely open.
Not only Bai Yingxue, but also Bai Junzhu was stunned for a moment when he saw the girl wearing Qi costumes, and looked at her pretty face with a look of confusion.
Looking at the woman from Qi State.
In terms of appearance, Bai Junzhu has never seen a woman who can compare with the Qi woman he saw in front of him.
In the courtyard.
Tian Feiyan followed Lu Qi aggrievedly, following behind his father, Xunzhou and others, but as he walked, Tian Feiyan felt something and turned his head slightly.
In an instant.
Tian Feiyan also saw two beauties looking at him in the pavilion in the distance.
Looking at the two women who were both older than him, he suddenly remembered what the young man said when he was in Yanmen. Tian Feiyan soon had a hunch in his heart that the slightly older woman should be the two of them.
Years ago, Bai Junzhu disliked that young man.
"Yan'er, what's wrong?"
Lu Qi saw Tian Feiyan suddenly stop next to him, and then he also saw the Bai sisters under the pavilion. As for those sisters, Lu Qi, who had arranged a marriage for Bai Yan, had naturally seen them before. Now that they met again, Lu Qi
He nodded towards the two girls.
"fine!"
When Tian Feiyan heard Lu Qi's words, he said casually and continued to follow the people in front.
Seeing the stunned expressions of the two sisters, Tian Feiyan murmured in his heart, no wonder he looked down on them in the first place, their appearance was indeed not bad, and they were Bai's identity.
but.
What's the use of being good looking, your eyes are blind!!!!
"It's just blind!"
Tian Feiyan thought with evil thoughts in his heart, trying hard to hold back his smile and the corners of his mouth from rising.
"Okay, it's okay!"
When Lu Qi heard Tian Feiyan's words, he nodded with his chubby face, looked at Tian Feiyan who had left, and then looked at the two girls in the pavilion in the distance.
At this moment, Lu Qi was already sensitive to the subtle atmosphere between women. Only then did Lu Qi understand why Tian Feiyan had to follow his uncle to Qin despite traveling thousands of miles this time.
