"Bai Yan was transferred back to Yanmen? Isn't that just empty talk?"
"Keep your voice down!"
"Hahaha, what are you afraid of? If Bai Yan is Zhongchang Shiwu, I might still be afraid, but now I have decided to leave Xianyang, what should I be afraid of!"
Outside the Xianyang Palace, officials wearing Qin official uniforms were accompanying each other, and many people started talking. The reason was simply that Bai Yan was going to be transferred back to Yanmen.
Almost without exception, those who can serve as officials in the Qin State are from the noble family. Therefore, although they are jealous of the Bai family, they are not afraid of it. Naturally, they are talking about it now with some unscrupulousness, as if they are mocking Bai Yan.
Everyone has this habit, and these Qin officials are no exception. When they first learned that Bai Yan was about to serve as a regular servant, when they saw Bai Yan, they either greeted him with a smile or flattered him. Now that he saw that Bai Yan was going to be transferred away from Xianyang,
He immediately changed his expression, but did not think about it. Even if Bai Yan was not in Xianyang, he was still a general, a lieutenant of Yanmen County, and was in charge of the entire Qin army.
Outside the palace gate.
"When it comes to xinxing, you should really learn from Bai Yan!"
Beside the carriage, Mr. Hu saw that Bai Yu had heard the gossip of other officials and looked like he was indignant and wanted to beat him up. He couldn't help but smile and said.
"What Mr. Hu said is inappropriate. Should I imitate that kid? If I imitated that kid, my father and brother would have been pissed to death long ago!!"
When Bai Yu heard what Mr. Hu said, he said with a dissatisfied expression.
In Bai Yu's eyes, if Bai Yu was really like Bai Yan, the first one to die would be his old father in Pingyang. The old father would be so angry that he would have to walk all night to Xianyang and chase him with thorns.
He was beaten and even said to be other brothers.
Still imitating that boy!!!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
When Mr. Hu heard Bai Yu's words, he couldn't help laughing when he thought of that scene, but then the smile slowly disappeared on the old man's face and he shook his head slightly.
"There are many snobbish people in the world. Who can guarantee that they will stay in high positions for a lifetime? It is indeed very powerful to reach some positions, but what is even more admirable is that after going up, you can still calmly step down. Then
That’s the most rare thing!”
Mr. Hu said softly, and when he said the last sentence, he looked at Bai Yu.
There are so many rare talents in the world who were eventually shattered into pieces because of the last sentence. Not to mention the Bai Yu in front of him couldn't do it, even the many ministers who have left their names throughout the ages couldn't do it.
The young man had visited Hu's house yesterday to explain the reasons. Mr. Hu could feel that the young man's eyes were not focused on the immediate benefits, but on things further away.
The young man didn't tell Bai Yu these things, and now Mr. Hu naturally doesn't know either.
Perhaps looking at Bai Yu who had everything written on his face, Mr. Hu finally realized why he couldn't tell Bai Yu directly about many things.
"Calculate the time, Bai Yan should pack his luggage, and I will go and give Bai Yan a ride!"
Mr. Hu said to Bai Yu.
Seeing this, Bai Yu nodded quickly.
But just as the two were about to leave, looking at Mao Jiao who was in a daze, they couldn't help but become curious as to why Mao Jiao had been absent-minded these past few days, often in a trance, and his eyes sometimes hesitated and sometimes felt guilty.
Just like now, Mao Jiao didn't hear the conversation between the two of them. He lowered his head slightly, and the expression on his old face was full of struggle.
Bai Yu and Mr. Hu looked at each other, full of confusion.
Inside Bai Yu's mansion.
As the servants and maids moved the necessary items to the carriage outside the mansion, a dozen cavalry soldiers wearing Qin armor in the courtyard were all laughing and chatting with each other.
If I had heard before that Bai Yan was going to serve as the Standing Attendant, who would be most saddened would not necessarily be the noble clan forces that had offended Bai Yan in the past, but these cavalry soldiers.
No matter what they have experienced in the past, without exception, they will follow Bai Yan on the battlefield and experience life-long battles. For them, Bai Yan has long been the general they have followed throughout their lives.
Being named Zhongchangshi also means that Bai Yan will stay in Xianyang in the future and will no longer lead them.
For almost every cavalry soldier, this will create a deep sense of loss in the heart, followed by confusion about the future, as well as the usual mentality of going to the battlefield to defeat the enemy, which is shaken.
, after all, even they don’t know who the Bai family’s cavalry will follow in the future, and who can be like Bai Yan, who has the courage to lead them to defeat any enemy army, and he can’t treat them better.
Now, knowing that Bai Yan did not serve as a regular attendant, every soldier showed a happy smile on his face.
Although their thoughts were somewhat selfish, they all originated from Bai Yan.
For them, as long as the general is there, they dare to face any enemy. Even if the enemy's number is twice as many as theirs, or even ten times their number, just like the battle between Gao Nu, they still have no fear.
In this world, they only have one general!
One person is enough!
"General!"
"General!!"
As Bai Yu, Hu Lao, and Mao Jiao were seen approaching, most of the soldiers were not familiar with Hu Lao and Mao Jiao, but they were naturally aware of Bai Yu, so they all gathered in greetings.
"Um!"
Bai Yu nodded to the soldiers, and then led Mr. Hu and Mr. Mao towards the study.
"Is he the former general of our cavalry?"
Gu was already wearing Qin armor and Qin sword. He looked at Bai Yu's leaving figure and asked Gui beside him in a low voice.
Gui nodded when he heard what he said. He looked at the tall and strong man next to him, and felt a little scared in his heart. Although he looked honest and honest, he had the fierceness of being a butcher for many years. Once his expression showed, he would give a serious look.
It was scary enough. Even the other burly generals who competed in the camp during this time never wanted to fight again after the competition.
ruthless!
This is everyone's impression of Zhang. Among all the people, Zhang is the only one who dislikes the light weight of the Qin sword, and the person who uses a blunt weapon. If he whips it with a blunt weapon, he will probably vomit blood and die.
Gui was very curious. If Guo went to the battlefield in the future, he didn't know how many enemy soldiers would die in Gui's hands.
"Hey, it's better for us general!"
Mang laughed, a smile appearing on his burly face. The traces of being caught and whipped could still be seen on his rough cheeks.
Looking at the other cavalry officers around him, although he didn't have any great wisdom, he felt the huge difference between the officers and soldiers talking about his benefactor and the former General Bai Yu.
Although no one compared it, Zhang could clearly feel that compared to General Bai Yu, when the soldiers mentioned their benefactor, their eyes became hot. The love shown inadvertently in their eyes was far from being used.
Words can describe.
"That's natural!"
After hearing what Gui said, he glanced around and agreed in a low voice.
After a while.
Seeing Bai Yan in black clothes appearing in front of everyone, all the soldiers in the yard stopped talking and looked at Bai Yan.
"General!"
"General!"
They were uniformly dressed as generals, but there were only a dozen or so people, but their voices resounded throughout the entire mansion. Even the servants and maids who were busy not far away were startled and frightened by the momentum.
All the soldiers looked at Bai Yan with enthusiasm.
Bai Yan looked at these soldiers dumbfounded, scanned their faces one by one, and nodded lightly.
Bai Yan didn't know if these soldiers did it on purpose. Bai Yu was already very fond of it. Now he was still making this noise in Bai Yu's yard. Was he afraid that his uncle Bai Yu wouldn't hear it?
"Mr. Mao, please!"
Bai Yan turned around and made an invitation gesture to Mao Jiao. Just now in the study, Mao Jiao suddenly wanted to talk to him privately, so he explained to Uncle Bai, Bai Yu, Mr. Hu and others.
Finally, he walked out with Mao Jiao.
at the moment.
Bai Yan led the way and took Mao Jiao to the pavilion in Bai Yu's mansion.
The servants and maids in the mansion have all gone to work, and everyone else is not in the pavilion. If you have anything to say, you can feel free to say it now.
Under the pavilion.
Mao Jiao looked at Bai Yan with a complicated expression, then turned to look not far away.
"When Tian Ding left, I didn't see him off!"
Mao Jiao said softly.
Bai Yan heard Mao Jiao's words and looked at Mao Jiao's face, knowing why Mao Jiao didn't go.
Thinking of Tian Feiyan, before Tian Ding left, Bai Yan had already asked someone to send the letter to the ambassador's residence and give it to Tian Feiyan.
"Tian Ding came to visit me earlier."
Mao Jiao slowly told Bai Yan what happened that day.
Bai Yan was not surprised when he heard what Mao Jiao said. Very early on, Bai Yan knew that the reason why Tian Ding was looking for someone in Xianyang City must be because of what Mao Jiao and Tian Ding had said.
Not only Bai Yan knew it, but Ying Zheng also knew it.
After a long time, following Mao Jiao's story, Bai Yan finally knew the details of Tian Ding's visit to Mao Jiao that day.
"You and I both know that once Chu is destroyed in the future, Qi will definitely not be able to survive!"
Mao Jiao sighed with emotion, and then looked at Bai Yan.
"You and I are both from the same family. I want to ask you if there is no personal grudge between Tian Ding and you."
When Mao Jiao said this, he paused, but still hesitated for a few breaths before continuing to say the rest of his words.
"You would like to be in Qi State and be granted the title of minister and general!"
Mao Jiao looked at Bai Yan.
In Mao Jiao's eyes, he always had reasons to comfort himself about Bai Yan's matter and his mother country, Qi. This was also the reason why Mao Jiao felt at ease when Tian Ding visited him last time.
However, the news came that the King of Chu died of illness. Mao Jiao, who was worshiped as a minister by Ying Zheng, faced this change in the Chu State. It was unclear. At this time, the King of Chu died of illness. I am afraid that within three to five years, the Chu State will fall into turmoil.
, and after three or five years, I am afraid that Qin will have troops approaching the city.
Once Chu dies, I am afraid that only Qi will be left in the world at that time!
So when he learned that Tian Ding had left and Bai Yan was about to return to Yanmen again, Mao Jiao was extremely hesitant and finally chose to see Bai Yan alone and asked Bai Yan personally if he wanted to return to Qi State.
My personal grudge with Tian Ding, and whether I would like to be granted the title of minister and general in Qi State.
For Mao Jiao, this is also something he does for his mother country.
For Ying Zheng, he did not tell Tian Ding about Bai Yan, which was not considered a betrayal of Ying Zheng. For his mother country, after Tian Ding left, he personally and privately questioned Bai Yan as a Qi man.
Mao Jiao has been lamenting that he is getting old these past two days, and now he just wants to be able to spend the rest of his life with peace of mind!
"Mrs. Mao overestimates Bai Yan!"
Bai Yan heard Mao Jiao's words and said softly, looking into the distance.
Although it was a simple sigh, for Mao Jiao, he already got the answer. Mao Jiao did not blame Bai Yan, but just nodded lightly.
At this time, Mao Jiao heard Bai Yan's voice again.
"Everyone in the world praises the Zhou Dynasty and King Wu of Zhou, but they don't know that for the people in the world, the world has been in chaos for eight hundred years!!!"
Bai Yan said softly.
One sentence can distinguish the common people from the ordinary people, express a sentiment from the bottom of my heart, and express my heart’s desire not to have another war.
Mao Jiao was stunned. Without him, Mao Jiao clearly felt from this sentence why Bai Yan didn't want to return to Qi.
At this moment, Mao Jiao came back to his senses and smiled bitterly, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head.
"I am really old!"
After a few breaths, Mao Jiao finally opened his mouth and sighed.
Half an hour later.
Under the instructions of Mr. Hu and others, Bai Yan then said goodbye to Bai Yan, Bai Junzhu and his daughter, turned around and left the mansion, and set off for Yanmen.
"What did you say to Bai Yan just now?"
Mr. Hu stood next to Mao Jiao, turned to look at Mao Jiao, and asked curiously.
When Mao Jiao heard his old friend's inquiry, he smiled and shook his head. Of course, it was impossible for him to tell Mr. Hu about his conversation with Bai Yan.
"You even hid it from me!"
When Mr. Hu saw that Mao Jiao refused to speak, he was angry and laughed, but he shook his head and did not ask further.
