Suddenly a word was heard, which startled the maid. When she came to her senses, she saw Master Xu standing behind her with a suspicious look on her face.
When the maid saw this, her back was covered in cold sweat.
"This slave is waiting for the summons from the young master! I heard some faint movement inside~!"
The maid quickly explained obediently.
When Master Xu saw this, he glanced at the maid and said nothing in the end.
At this moment.
Bai Yan, who was also lying on the bed in the room, naturally heard the sound outside the door. He looked at Zhao Qiu who was wrapped in a silk quilt and looked at each other. They both let out a silent sigh of relief. Finally, there was no need.
Make some noise again.
After calming down, Bai Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead. However, for some reason, after doing nothing, he felt even more unnatural than before.
There was a faint sound of breathing next to his ears, and Bai Yan knew without turning his head that Zhao Qiu should be similar to him, and the same was true.
"I went to Yingchuan this time. I was supposed to come back early, but I got unexpected news and left for Yangzhen!"
Bai Yan lay on the outside of the bed and spoke softly with his eyes open.
The atmosphere was so embarrassing that Bai Yan, who prided himself on being shameless, couldn't bear it, so he thought about telling Zhao Qiu about Yingchuan.
"I know!"
Zhao Qiu's voice came from inside the bed, but Bai Yan didn't look over.
"It was later verified that the nobles in Yingchuan really wanted to take the opportunity to win over Qi. If they failed, they would let Cui Yan kill Tian Xian! After rescuing Tian Xian, Tian Xian wrote a letter explaining the matter to Tian Ding!"
Bai Yan said this and did not continue.
Zhao Qiu's purpose is just like that of the Yingchuan nobles, and there is no doubt that the Yingchuan nobles' actions did not take Zhao's land into account at all. Now that the matter has been exposed, the clay figure is still angry, let alone the other party is Qi Qiu.
Tian Ding of the royal family.
This is not a good thing for Zhao Qiu.
On the quiet bed.
After Bai Yan heard no response for a long time, he turned his head slightly, lay on the bed, and looked at Zhao Qiu, who was sleeping inside, with a fair and charming face, and seemed to be in a daze at the moment.
Zhao Qiu seemed to feel something, turned his head slightly, and looked at Bai Yan with his beautiful eyes.
"Just remember what you promised me!"
Zhao Qiu said.
After the sky turned dark, the boudoir door opened again. When Zhao Qiu's current personal maid and Master Xu came into the room, her pretty face couldn't help but turn red. She looked at the figure on the bed and put the dinner on the table.
Seeing the appearance of the table and the broken porcelain on the floor, not to mention Master Xu, but also the maid, felt as if there was a deer in their hearts, and their breathing became disordered as they imagined the scene in their minds.
After gently moving the wooden table back to its original position and placing the dinner on the table, the maid and Master Xu slowly left the boudoir and closed the door again.
The next morning.
When Bai Yan came to the study room, he saw Mr. Wei and saw a strange smile on Mr. Wei's old face.
Bai Yan smiled awkwardly, his eyes full of guilt.
"Disciple pays homage to teacher!"
Bai Yan raised his hand to salute Mr. Wei.
"No need to be polite!"
When Mr. Wei saw Bai Yan's official uniform, which was not very neat, he could tell at a glance the difference from what the Bao family had dressed Bai Yan in. If his guess was correct, only Zhao Qiu, who had never served anyone before, would not
Be good at these.
"There are a lot of trivial matters accumulated during this period, waiting for you to deal with them!"
Mr. Wei said to Bai Yan.
Bai Yan nodded and came to the opposite side of Mr. Wei's wooden table. He first told Mr. Wei all the things he encountered during his trip to Yingchuan. After chatting with Mr. Wei for a long time, he picked up the bamboo slips in the wooden box and dealt with the Yanmen Fortress.
thing.
"Do you still need iron cavalry?"
Half an hour later, Bai Yan frowned when he saw a scroll of bamboo slips sent by Wang Jian's army. It was clear that a great victory had been announced in Yishui, and the King of Yan and the Yan army were all trapped in Yan.
Why is there still a need for iron cavalry in Jicheng, the capital of a country?
When Mr. Wei heard Bai Yan's words, he shook his head.
"Nowadays, the elites of the Bai family are famous all over the world, and all generals want to take them under their command. News has come from the Bai family's cavalry. Since arriving in Yishui, other generals, Li Xin, and Wang Ben have secretly tried to win over them.
"
Mr. Wei said to Bai Yan, and after finishing speaking, he smiled.
"But you don't need to worry about this right now. The Bai family's cavalry are all soldiers who will follow you through life and death. Those people can't be taken away."
When Mr. Wei said this, a flash of pride flashed in his eyes. Mr. Wei knew clearly that those Qin generals, Li Xin, and Wang Ben wanted to win over the Bai family cavalry, which was nothing more than a delusion.
As long as they could come and take a look at this mansion, as long as they had personally participated in the battle with Gaonu in Shangjun, they would no longer have these thoughts.
"Don't worry! As long as the sword is here, no one can pull it away!"
Mr. Wei looked at Bai Yan, who was still a little worried, and guessed that Bai Yan was worried about some general or even Wang Jian, and wrote to Xianyang to request Ying Zheng. With the support of other courtiers, Ying Zheng would transfer the Bai family's cavalry in order to check and balance Bai Yan.
Walk.
"Um!"
When Bai Yan heard what Mr. Wei said, he followed his gaze and glanced down at Zhan Lu at his waist.
noon.
Bai Yan took a carriage and slowly arrived at the Sheriff's Mansion. Soon, he saw Yang Duanhe, Yang Yan and his son waiting at the pavilion.
"Old Yang! General Yang Yan!"
Bai Yan came to the pavilion and saluted the two of them.
Yang Duanhe and Yang Yan stood up one after another and returned the courtesy to Bai Yan.
"According to the king's order, Yang Yan will be the general and deputy general in the future, just call him Yang Yan!"
Yang Yan saw Bai Yan and said with a smile.
When the State of Zhao was not yet destroyed, although Bai Yan was the deputy general at that time, he and Wang Jian led the army to attack the State of Zhao. At that time, Yang Yan was not far behind Bai Yan in terms of status. However, later in Yanyu, he almost died due to impatience.
, harming the clan members, although Bai Yan saved his life, he still could not escape the blame when he returned to Xianyang.
From that moment on, the status of Yang Yan and Bai Yan greatly expanded in an instant, and they were even transferred to Hangu Pass.
During this period of time, Yang Duanhe had a heart-to-heart talk with Yang Yan, which not only made Yang Yan understand why he came to Yanmen, but also made him wiser. After experiencing that incident, Yang Yan was really shocked. Now
My mind has become more stable than before.
Therefore, now that he saw Bai Yan again, apart from the reason that he was his savior, under Yang Yan's sarcastic smile, he had already placed Bai Yan in the position of general in his heart.
"If we keep clear distinction between public and private affairs, it will be difficult to convince the public!"
Mr. Yang stood beside Yang Yan. When he heard what his eldest son said, he was worried that Bai Yan would be in trouble and that Bai Yan would still be the same as before, so he laughed and said.
Compared to his eldest son who had been to the Bianqi Camp, Mr. Yang not only knew better than his eldest son, but also had more personal experience of Bai Yan's prestige in the Bianqi Camp.
It can be said that out of all the officers and soldiers riding on the side, Bai Yan was the only one listening.
If Bai Yan continues to treat his eldest son as he did before, in the future, it may be difficult for the eldest son to integrate into the side cavalry. In this case, all the efforts to go to Yanmen will be in vain.
"Then the distinction between public and private affairs will be clear! In private, Bai Yan will be bold enough to call Yang Yan his brother!"
Bai Yan looked at Yang Yan with a smile, raised his hand to salute again, and said seriously.
Following Bai Yan's actions, let alone Mr. Yang's appearance when he saw Bai Yan, Yang Yan felt warmth quietly emerge in his heart when he looked at Bai Yan. He glanced at Bai Yan with gratitude and raised his hand to Bai Yan.
Yan returns the gift.
But after hearing it, Yang Yan has made up his mind.
Inside the pavilion.
After the ceremony, as the three of them sat down behind a wooden table, Mr. Yang looked at Bai Yan and sighed slowly.
"I have asked Yang Yan to test it during this period, and it has been confirmed that Mi Jing has hidden hostility towards General Bai!"
Mr. Yang was the first to speak to Bai Yan.
When Yang Yan heard his father's words, he looked at Bai Yan. When he saw Bai Yan's eyes slowly nodding, his eyes were a little disappointed. During this period of time, he followed his father's instructions and pretended to be ostracized by the side riders and looked depressed.
, there was a hint of dissatisfaction, both overtly and covertly.
And because he had known Mi Jing for many years, Mi Jing had no suspicion at all, and then he inadvertently fell into his father's scheme.
Recalling what his father had said before, Yang Yan now couldn't imagine that the right prime minister Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun, whom he respected very much, would do such a thing.
"Brother Yang Yan, I have seen Bian Qi recently. What do you think?"
Bai Yan was not surprised by Mr. Yang's words, but instead looked at Yang Yan.
"A brave division and an elite cavalry!"
When Yang Yan heard this, he praised without hesitation. Thinking back to the scenes he had seen when he went to the frontier camp, and the fierce soldiers he saw, Yang Yan's chest was full of blood, and he wished he could go to the battlefield with those soldiers to perform meritorious service.
But when he thought of something, Yang Yan looked a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a few moments, he seemed to have some words that he didn't know how to say, so he turned to look at his father.
"But is there something difficult?"
Bai Yan was a little confused when he saw Yang Yan's appearance, and also looked at Mr. Yang aside.
When Mr. Yang saw the eldest son, his eyes were clear that it was not the eldest son's fault, it was all his idea, so he turned to look at Bai Yan.
"The side cavalry used to be the elite under Li Mu, but now only General Bai can convince him. Therefore, after much thought, I still hope that the eldest son will be arranged by General Bai, so he has always asked the eldest son to stay in Shanwu. By the way, I also read
Look at Mi Jing.”
Mr. Yang explained to Bai Yan.
With the edict from Xianyang, it would not be difficult for Yang Yan to enter the camp. However, this time, Yang Yan was directly transferred to the position of deputy general of the First Army. For such an important position, without Bai Yan, the edict alone was far from enough. If he took the post rashly, I might
It will be bad.
So during this period of time, Mr. Yang asked his eldest son Yang Yan to stay in Shanwu and wait for Bai Yan's return, and Bai Yan would take him to the camp to take up his post.
"It's Bai Yan's negligence!"
When Bai Yan heard this, he understood Mr. Yang's concerns, so he raised his hand apologetically to salute.
"Due to the urgency of the matter, Bai Yan never had a chance to talk to Mr. Yang when he went south before!"
After Bai Yan explained, he did not rush to take Yang Yan to the camp, but continued to look at Mr. Yang.
Under the curious gazes of Mr. Yang and Yang Yan, Bai Yan's expression gradually became serious.
"Mr. Yang, Bai Yan would like to ask, how much tax grain will Yanmen have after this autumn harvest? How much money does the Treasury have?"
Bai Yan put away his smile and asked seriously.
There is one thing that has always been pressing in Bai Yan's heart. Bai Yan has been planning it for a long time, but he had no chance before. Now that the autumn harvest has passed and Yang Yan has arrived, the time is ripe.
"Tax grain?"
Yang Yan looked confused when he heard Bai Yan's words. He watched his father inform Bai Yan about Yanmen's tax, food and money. Yang Yan turned to look at Bai Yan again.
Going to the Bianqi Camp to take up the post, what does it have to do with Yanmen's tax revenue and treasury? Could it be that he was asked to use it as a reward? To win people's hearts?
How much money will it cost?
How will those generals on the side view him in the future?
"School???"
Under the pavilion, when Mr. Wei heard Bai Yan's words, he looked at Bai Yan in astonishment.
"yes!"
Bai Yan saluted Mr. Wei.
After returning to the mansion, Bai Yan called Zhao Qiu, found an opportunity to get rid of the maid beside Zhao Qiu, and informed Mr. Wei and Zhao Qiu about the matters discussed with Yang Duanhe and Yang Yan.
Seeing Mr. Wei's reaction now, Bai Yan was not surprised.
"But you didn't say at the beginning that you would just keep books and do nothing else. Why do you want to build a school now?"
Mr. Wei looked at Bai Yan in confusion.
Bai Yan saw this and looked at Mr. Wei.
"In the past, when my disciples went south to Yingchuan, they saw with their own eyes that the chaos in Yingchuan was not caused by the gentry, but by the officials. Officials protected each other, and the trend of corruption ranged from the censors to the officials."
Under the gaze of Mr. Wei, Bai Yan told what he had seen in Yanggui. Those things he saw were the reasons why Bai Yan changed his mind.
"But I said that your actions are digging the foundation of the world's scholars. In the future, the world's scholars, and even all the noble clans, will not let you go!"
Mr. Wei looked at Bai Yan worriedly and repeated what he said that day.
At that time, Bai Yan said personally that he knew all this, so he bluntly said that he would not touch the foundation of those scholars, but now.
"That's why I just set up my school in the Yunzhong Mountains. Therefore, I just gathered the orphans of the fallen soldiers and sent them to the Yunzhong Mountains in the name of revenge."
Bai Yan raised his hand and explained to Mr. Wei.
Looking at Mr. Wei, Bai Yan knew that in order to hide it from everyone in the world, he had to make it impossible for everyone to think of it, and the Yunzhong Mountains was the best place, as Yanmen had enough tax, food, government savings, and military resources.
, plus the Yueshi, the Xiongnu were all severely weakened, and there was no place more suitable than the Yunzhong Mountains.
This is also the best opportunity.
After seeing the chaos in Yingchuan, Bai Yan thought about what would happen if the Qin State destroyed all the vassal states and unified the world, and Zhao, Chu, and Qi were all filled with officials like Yingchuan.
Scenes.
Bai Yan couldn't help but sigh after thinking about it for a hundred years.
He must prevent this from happening in advance, whether it is to repay Ying Zheng for his kindness, or to do it for Bai Yan and his family.
At present, as long as Mr. Wei and Zhao Qiu are willing to help him, Bai Yan is nearly ten levels sure that after the unification of the Qin State, energy will continue to provide talents to the Qin State and gradually stabilize the foundation of the Qin State.
"There are many tributaries in the Yunzhong Mountains. The mountains are high and the forests are deep. It is indeed possible! However, it is not easy to find teachers to teach people!"
Mr. Wei looked at Bai Yan, nodded first, and then persuaded him. He had never dared to have such an idea in his entire life. However, looking at his disciple now, Mr. Wei didn't even understand that
An action is right or wrong.
The only thing that is certain is that if the disciples are allowed to complete it, the good days will really come to an end for the scholars in the world!
Inside the pavilion.
Under Mr. Wei's gaze, Bai Yan saw Mr. Wei nodding, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled.
"Therefore, this disciple hopes that his teacher can write a letter and invite some great sages to come to Shanwu!"
Bai Yan raised his hand and said, with a slightly flattering smile, he not only looked at Mr. Wei, his teacher, but also at Zhao Qiu who was standing aside, and started to smile.
"All the great sages are here."
When Mr. Wei heard Bai Yan's words, he wanted to say something, but suddenly he thought of Yan country. He was stunned for a few breaths. After he came back to his senses, he looked at Bai Yan and couldn't help but laugh.
"It seems you have been planning this for a long time!"
Mr. Wei said, then looked at Zhao Qiu.
At this moment, in the eyes of Mr. Wei and Bai Yan, Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan with complicated eyes.
"I can't possibly help you with this!"
Zhao Qiu looked directly at Bai Yan and said, looking at Bai Yan's flattering smile, she didn't understand why Bai Yan would say this in front of her, seek long-term solutions for Qin, and ask her to help, for fear that Bai Yan would think too much.
In her eyes, she wished that if this thing could not be done, Qin would be destroyed, so that she could take the opportunity to restore the country.
After looking at Bai Yan, Zhao Qiu turned around and prepared to leave. She didn't want to listen to Bai Yan anymore. After all, seeing Bai Yan carefully planning for the Qin State, she always felt inexplicably irritable for some reason.
However, before Zhao Qiu could take two steps, a voice sounded from behind.
"This school is in Yunzhong, right in Zhao. If one day, the world is in chaos, this school will be the foundation of your restoration. Whether or not you have this school will make a huge difference to your restoration, and it will be different from other vassal states."
Regarding the gap between the restoration forces, think about it. After the restoration, do you want your subordinates to be like the other restoration forces, all officials like Yingchuan, or do you want to have a school behind you?"
Bai Yan's words reached Zhao Qiu's ears, and Zhao Qiu stopped and stood where he was.
Turning his head, Zhao Qiu looked straight at Bai Yan with beautiful eyes.
"Think about it! If you do something now, you can take over later."
Bai Yan saw Zhao Qiu's eyes and smiled happily.
Behind another wooden table.
When Mr. Wei saw this scene and heard Bai Yan's words, he looked at Zhao Qiu who was obviously hesitant. Then he looked at Bai Yan, full of surprise, then shook his head and laughed happily. Now Mr. Wei finally knew why Bai Yan
Zhao Qiu can always be persuaded.
"General! News from Xianyang! Secret message from the palace!"
At this time, a confidant suddenly came to Bai Yan in a hurry and handed a roll of bamboo slips to Bai Yan.
After Bai Yan took it, he opened it and took a look.
After seeing the secret letter, both Ying Zheng and other ministers of Qin agreed to secretly support Yang Jin. Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief and handed the bamboo slips to Mr. Wei.
The more troublesome thing now is how to unknowingly send Yang Jin to the Qiang people west of Longxi!
Ying Zheng will come to Yanmen in the future, and the school is one of the foreshadowings of the future! Ying Zheng will not know.
When the world is unified, not only the protagonist returns home, but also the beginning of the world's dumbfounding.
