"The envoy of Qin, Corpse Weir, will be sent here!"
Outside the palace of the King of Wei, Xi Yan stepped out of the carriage, turned around and saluted Uncle Bai Yan.
"Thank you!"
The uncle returned the courtesy with a smile. Looking at the gentle and elegant young man in front of him, thinking of the treatment he received these two days, the uncle felt extremely satisfied. He turned to look at the Palace of the King of Wei behind him. The uncle couldn't help but sigh, thinking of him studying hard in books.
After studying hard for most of my life, I was finally able to enter the court of a country and come to the palace of the King of Wei as an envoy of Qin.
I have no regrets in this life~!
"You will return home first! When I go to persuade the King of Wei to surrender to Qin, I guarantee that when Wei surrenders, the Shi family will definitely become a famous family in Qin in the future!"
The uncle turned his head, with a smile on his face, and after saying this, he bowed his hands to Corpse Yan.
"Thank you very much, Ambassador Qin!"
When Xi Yan heard this, he didn't pay attention. Instead, he was grateful to his uncle.
However, as the ceremony ended and he saw his uncle turning around and walking towards the palace, the smile on Xiyan's face slowly disappeared.
Let the corpse family become a famous family!
This is the first time that Shiyan has heard someone say this. Anyone who knows the origin of the Shi family, its clan heritage, connections, and status in the Wei Kingdom will not say such irrelevant words.
"Gentleman, do you want to wait here forever?"
A man came to Xiyan, looked at the back of the Qin envoy, and then looked at Xiyan and asked.
In the past two days, even the subordinates couldn't look at the Qin envoy. Not only did he not look like the Qin envoy, he was also very greedy. No matter what the corpse family sent in the past two days, the Qin envoy would not refuse anyone who came, and it seemed that
Still want more.
To be honest, if I hadn't seen the letter and seal of the corpse, I wouldn't have believed it. This person was actually the envoy of Qin.
"wait!"
Xi Yan said softly and sighed helplessly.
When they first met the Qin envoy, not to mention the followers, even Xi Yan did not believe that Bai Yan would let such people go to Daliang as an envoy. It was not until they met Xiangyin and asked repeatedly that they knew that this person was actually Bai Yan.
Yan's uncle.
After hearing the news, not only Shiyan but also his father Shihe were all dumbfounded and couldn't believe what they heard.
However, looking at the seal and the letter, as well as the arrival of this person, Shiyan and his father Shiyan were reunited, and they had to believe it. Furthermore, Shiyan was finally able to explain why Jin Gong was Bai Yan's mentor.
Qin general Bai Yan was actually from Qi!
People from Qi!
I don’t know if Wu Gao will be surprised when he learns this news in the future!
"First, I ordered people to go back to my hometown and prepare the carriage. Today I am leaving Daliang and heading to Qi State."
Xiyan ordered.
When the servants heard what Xiyan said, they quickly nodded in salute and turned around to give orders to other servants.
In the past two days, no matter how much Shiyan and his father Shihe asked, no matter how much money they gave to the beauty, the uncle did not tell the father and son the detailed origins. On this point, the uncle was definitely smarter than everyone else.
Although the uncle is not as good as famous people and Xicheng in terms of right and wrong, as well as his own talents, he is far superior to ordinary people in terms of life-saving cleverness.
Previously, Bai Yan imprisoned the corpse and refused to let it return to Daliang. The uncle was also worried that King Wei would imprison him and use him to exchange for the corpse, so he did not tell the whole story in a hurry.
As for safety, the uncle is not worried that the King of Wei dares to harm him. Now the Qin army is outside Daliang City. Half of the soldiers and horses are elites under the command of his nephew Bai Yan. In addition, they have prepared to use the water of the Chasm and the Zhuhe River to draw in
Daliang, under such circumstances, the uncle did not believe that King Wei dared to hurt him in the slightest.
Besides, the King of Wei had no reason to hurt him. He was an envoy of the Qin State, and now only he could save the Wei State!
Outside the palace of the King of Wei.
It hadn't been long since Uncle Bai Yan entered the palace. Corpse Yan, who had been waiting outside the palace gate, did not wait for Uncle Bai Yan to come out. Instead, he waited for his father's hurried figure.
"Father!"
When Xi Yan saw his father coming out of the palace, he looked puzzled. Wasn't his father discussing matters in the court at this time? Why did he come out in such a hurry, and judging from his expression, he was so panicked.
"Father, what happened?"
Corpse Yan quickly stepped forward and asked his father, full of curiosity.
"Something happened, Yan'er, you should leave the city immediately and go to Qi State. Remember, no matter what, you must tell Tian Ding personally about Bai Yan and inform King Qi, so that King Qi must invite Bai Yan no matter what the cost.
I want to return to Qi as a general, and I must find Bai Yan’s parents!”
Shi He's face looked a little panicked at this moment, with a hint of despair in his panic. Even Shi Yan had never seen his father show such an expression.
"But father."
Xi Yan looked a little confused when he heard his father's words.
Let the King of Qi invite Bai Yan to return to Qi. This corpse can understand. Thinking back to Bai Yan's military exploits in Qin in the past, whether it was Gao Nu in Shangjun, fighting the Yuezhi with more than ten thousand cavalry, and 150,000 Huns.
The large army, or the fight with Li Mu later, are enough to prove Bai Yan's ability to lead troops. If a famous general like Bai Yan returns to Qi and has Qi's troops, he might be able to ally with Chu and fight Qin.
However, what Xiyan doesn't understand now is why his father doesn't let him wait for Bai Yan's uncle to come out. The man hasn't told where he is yet. He only mentioned it inadvertently. Bai Yan has been filial since he was young.
"No need to wait any longer!"
When Shihe saw Shiyan, he looked at the palace. He didn't know what Shiyan meant, but Shihe shook his head.
"Your Majesty, you already know that Bai Yan is Xu Zixiao!"
Shihe looked at Xiyan and told Xiyan that King Wei had just pretended to order someone to arrest the envoy of Qin.
Hear the words.
Corpse Yan's pupils shrank, and his whole face instantly turned pale. He stared at the palace in horror, then looked at his father, and immediately shook his head.
"Impossible, only the child and the father know about this matter!"
As Xi Yan was talking, he suddenly thought that when he was talking to his father, his younger brother Xi Wei happened to pass by the study. Now that he heard his father's words, it was unclear where Xi Yan was. I'm afraid that Xi Wei must have heard the conversation between him and his father.
Afraid of being scolded, I just said that I happened to be passing by.
Thinking of clan brother Shiwei's domineering and domineering temperament.
"It must be Shiwei. Father, we must leave Daliang with our clan members immediately!!!"
Xi Yan came back to his senses and said to his father in panic.
When the current King of Wei pretended to be Wei Gongzi, he once went to Handan and had a conflict with Xu Zixiao in Handan. Even his beloved dog was killed by Xu Zixiao with a sword. Although this incident has not been spread, it is still the case in Daliang.
Many ministers and some nobles knew about it.
Xi Yan knows better than anyone what kind of temper King Wei has. Previously, as long as he could treat King Wei's pet dog, King Ji of Wei could reward his officials, even ministers, and even a small palace guard to slander the general.
If he didn't respect his beloved dog, the King of Wei would immediately kill the general. Fortunately, his grandfather persuaded him. Some time ago, many nobles of the Wei State were killed and injured. The King of Wei pretended not to feel sorry for him, but instead shed tears because his beloved dog was injured.
How much does King Wei love dogs? It is no exaggeration to say that he regards them as his life!
Therefore, it is impossible for Wei Wangjia to forget his hatred for Xu Zixiao. Now, when he thinks of Wei Wangjia's temperament that does not care about anything, and also knows that Qin Shi is Bai Yan's uncle, "Xu Zixiao's" uncle, Xiyan
I already had a premonition that the envoy of Qin would be in trouble this time.
"Yan'er, King Wei has already planned to cut off the two palms of the Qin envoy and send them to Bai Yan. If the Qin envoy is killed or injured, the Qin State will definitely dig a canal to divert water. It won't take long for Daliang to retaliate. Whether it is for Daliang or to stop it,
The Qin State is on its way to conquer the world, so we must go to the Qi State and ask Tian Ding to help find the place where 'Zi Huai' lives!"
Shihe did not reply to Xiyan's words, but instead told Xiyan seriously, and after saying that, he would not let Xiyan stay any longer.
"There is not much time left for you to leave, Yan'er, go to Qi as soon as possible! As a father, I want to stay and think of a way to save the Qin envoy's life!"
Shihe urged.
When Xi Yan saw this, his face was full of worry and he looked at his father reluctantly. However, Xi Yan also understood that if he stayed here now, he could not save Daliang or Wei at all.
Outside Daliang City.
Bai Yan led the war horse to the upper reaches of the chasm and looked at the majestic and solemn Daliang City in the distance, one of the famous ancient capitals. When he passed by this city four years ago, Bai Yan once lamented the prosperity in the city. At that time, Bai Yan did not
I thought about it when I came to Daliang again.
But he wanted to capture the city himself and flood it with water.
Under the watchful eyes of several soldiers, Bai Yan put the rope on the horse's back and came to the river nearby. He looked at the river called Honggou next to Daliang City and found a stone to sit on.
When I was in Licheng before, I had so many things to deal with that I accidentally ignored the corpse. Without the corpse, the uncle would never have been able to think of such a plan.
Bai Yan knew the uncle's character thoroughly.
But the uncle was already in Daliang City, and it was too late to say anything. We could only wait for the uncle to come back from Daliang City.
"General, everything has been arranged!"
Kou Zhuang led several soldiers on horseback and dismounted not far from Bai Yan, and then came to Bai Yan to report.
According to Bai Yan's instructions, Kou Zhuang mixed all the soldiers from the scout camp and the prisoner camp among the people, went to Pengcheng in batches, and set up an ambush near Pengcheng.
"good!"
Bai Yan nodded and was about to say something.
"General! Prime Minister Wei came to the camp and wants to see the general!"
A soldier hurriedly came to Bai Yan's side and reported to Bai Yan.
"Kai Xiang?"
Bai Yan was a little surprised when he heard that Wei Zhuang had come to the camp at this time. He quickly guessed that the state of Qi must be in turmoil and had begun to waver, so Qin had to send envoys to Qi.
Bai Yan was quite emotional about this.
Reality is always more complicated than the history in memory. Perhaps behind the short sentence in the memory, there are countless things that have not been recorded. It is he who knows that later history books record that Qi State will not send troops. Now seeing Qi State in such turmoil,
They couldn't help but worry about something unexpected happening, let alone the officials and ministers in the Qin court.
"But I didn't expect that it would be in the shape of Wei!"
As Bai Yan spoke, he stood up slowly and looked at Daliang City in the distance.
"Let's go back!"
Bai Yan opened his mouth and said.
After a while.
In the Qin army's camp, when Bai Yan returned to the camp, he saw that Wei Zhuang and many generals were already talking outside the general's camp.
"Kai Xiang!"
When Bai Yan saw Wei Xiang, he raised his hand and saluted.
"General Bai! Long time no see!"
When Wei Zhuang saw Bai Yan, he turned around and returned the favor very politely.
Looking at the young Bai Yan who was dressed in armor, and looking at the famous sword Zhanlu worn on Bai Yan's waist, Wei Zhuang felt that Bai Yan was so strange for the first time.
In the eyes of Wei Zhuang, Bai Yan was always a Qin person and a descendant of the Bai family in Pingyang. Now, in the eyes of Wei Zhuang, Bai Yan is a Qi person!
"General!"
"General!"
"General!!"
Just after the ceremony was completed, all the other generals outside the camp raised their hands in salute when they saw Bai Yan.
Wei Zhuang couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the tone of all the generals around him. He glanced around. When he saw these generals from Yandi, Lantian, and even Qianzhong paying tribute to Bai Yan, Wei Zhuang was stunned.
A flash of worry instinctively flashed through his eyes, and it disappeared briefly. When he looked at Bai Yan again, a face full of intimacy appeared.
"This time I was on an envoy to the State of Qi. Wei Zhuang passed by Daliang and came to visit the general!"
Wei Zhuang took the initiative and said with a smile.
"Prime Minister Wei has arrived, and Bai Yan couldn't ask for it. Bai Yan was not in the camp just now. I hope Prime Minister Wei will not blame Bai Yan for his neglect!"
Bai Yan saluted again. After the ceremony, he glanced at the other generals, then suddenly remembered something and looked at Prime Minister Wei.
"Xiang Wei, Wei is in turmoil now and there are countless thieves and bandits. If Xiang Xiang goes to Qi, Bai Yan will be worried about many mishaps on the way. He also hopes that Xiang Xiang will let Bai Yan prepare 500 elite soldiers to escort Xiang Wei to Qi. Only in this way can Bai Yan feel at ease!
"
Bai Yan opened his mouth and said.
After coming to Qin for so many years and experiencing so many things, Bai Yan is no longer the person who doesn't understand anything. Bai Yan knows the purpose of Wei Zhuang's visit, so there is no need for Wei Zhuang to speak.
After all, Wei Zhuang was the prime minister of the Qin State, with a high status and seniority. It was inappropriate for him to take the initiative to speak in front of a junior like him.
"Hehehe~! General Bai has a good heart, and here is the picture. Thank you so much, General Bai!"
Wei Zhuang smiled at first, then raised his hand and saluted Bai Yan without refusing.
After Bai Yan exchanged greetings with Wei Zhuang, he was about to let Wei Zhuang enter the camp. At this time, he saw a general and a Qin soldier coming from the corpse cheng in the distance. The general was very unfamiliar and must have been an escort.
Wei Zhuang went to the general of Qi.
Most likely, Wei Zhuang wanted to see Xi Cheng. When he was in Xianyang Palace, the first name on the bamboo slips given to him by Wei Zhuang and Li Si was Xi Cheng.
In addition, there is also a large number of scholars.
But now.
Seeing Xicheng, Bai Yan felt a little resentful in his heart. Without Xicheng's help, how could his uncle be in Daliang now?
However, Xicheng's status and reputation, as well as being a close friend of his mentor Tian Jin, as well as Mr. Wei's letters and Wu Gao's words, plus Xicheng was also a person that Li Si and Wei Zhuang valued very much.
All these reasons make it impossible for Bai Yan to really do anything to the body.
"General, General!!!"
Just when Bai Yan was about to salute, before Wei Zhi and Xicheng could speak, they saw a soldier galloping on horseback in the distance, rushing towards Bai Yan in the camp. Before the horse could stop, the soldier
I couldn't wait to get off my horse, stumbled a few times, and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, I managed to steady myself.
With the soldier's appearance, not only Bai Yan, but also Wei Zheng, Xicheng, Zan Shou, Yu Feng and other generals all realized that something seemed to have happened, otherwise the soldier would not be so panicked.
"General, King Wei, King Wei tied the Qin envoy outside the gate of Daliang City and tortured him in full view of everyone!"
The soldiers reported to Bai Yanji, breathing rapidly and with frightened eyes.
"What?"
“Torture??”
Not to mention other generals, when the generals heard what the soldiers said, they looked at the soldiers in astonishment. Even Zan Shou and Zhong You, both looked shocked, and then became full of panic.
Xicheng's face was even more pale, and he shook his head in disbelief.
Wei Zhuang, who was on the side, obviously already knew who the Qin envoy was. After all, Wei Zhuang wanted to meet him, but he gave up after learning that he was going to Daliang. At this time, when he heard the soldiers' words, Wei Zhuang also froze on the spot.
"Walk!"
Bai Yan looked at the soldiers reporting the report, and without caring about anything else, he hurriedly walked to the horse just now, got on his horse, led Mang and others, and rushed directly towards Daliang City.
Zan Shou, Zhong You, other generals, and even the recovered corpses and Wei Xiang all followed Bai Yan. They asked for war horses from other soldiers and followed Bai Yan to the direction of Daliang City Gate.
No one believed that King Wei was so bold.
After a while.
Among the tens of thousands of side riders, Bai Yan and many generals slowly drove out from among the soldiers and came to the front of the army of side riders.
"General!"
When Yang Yan, Yu He, Hui Pu and other generals on the side saw Bai Yan arrive, they looked at Bai Yan with worried faces and saluted Bai Yan. But just in front of them, on top of Daliang City in the distance, a crowd surged.
Moving, under the Wei flag, densely packed Wei soldiers were moving back and forth, with countless crossbows pointing in this direction outside the city.
And just under the towering city head, outside the closed city gate, a huge wooden stake was planted on the ground at some point. One person was tied up, and two burly and strong men were tortured with thick whips.
, the other two seemed to forcefully stuff things into their mouths from time to time.
"this"
Xi Cheng was riding a war horse. At this age, he could see from a distance that the tied man was none other than Bai Yan's uncle. In an instant, Xi Cheng's cheeks turned pale and his eyes were old and turbid.
, full of despair.
Xi Cheng wished he could ask King Wei himself if he was crazy. He was treating the envoy of Qin like this at this time, and he was a blood relative of Bai Yan!
Originally, Bai Yan had no right to flood the beams.
In a trance.
Xicheng's body was swaying a little, and he almost fell off his horse. In a daze, Xicheng made a sound that sounded like crying or laughing, shook his head, and slowly closed his eyes.
"General, I am willing to lead the soldiers to rescue people!"
At this time, Yanmao slowly moved the stirrups with his legs. After the horse took two steps forward, Yanmao drove the horse to Bai Yan, raised his hands and said to Bai Yan.
"General, I am also willing to go and save people!"
"General, please let me go, I will be able to save people and come back!"
Seeing Yanmao's actions, other cavalry generals, as well as side cavalry generals Yu He, Huipu and others all turned to Bai Yan for orders.
At this moment, everyone looked at Bai Yan.
The difference between Yanmao, Huipu and others and Yu Feng, Yu Lu and others can be clearly distinguished at this moment. When Yu Feng, Yu Lu and others were also ready to express their willingness to lead troops to rescue people, they
Seeing Bai Yan shaking his head.
"The city is full of Wei soldiers. To save people is to risk death."
When Bai Yan said this, he suddenly found that the city gate of Daliang suddenly opened slowly, and several eunuchs suddenly ran out in a hurry with a wooden cart.
This scene surprised everyone.
Then everyone saw that the eunuchs took Uncle Bai Yan off the wooden stick and tied him to the wooden trailer. After doing everything, they drove the horses to drag the wooden trailer and sent him to the Qin Army camp.
Come.
Wei seems to be ready to let people return?
When Yanmao saw this scene, next to the scar on his face, he looked straight at Daliang City. He turned his head and motioned for a confidant to ride up to pick him up.
Immediately, a soldier beside Yanmao quickly rode his horse towards the head of Daliang City. After a long time, he rode to the wooden trailer and then turned his horse around and drove the wooden trailer back to the Biqi camp.
In everyone's eyes.
Even though Zan Shou and Zhong You were prepared, when the wooden trailer came back and saw Uncle Bai Yan's appearance with their own eyes, they still couldn't help but look in disbelief.
I saw that the uncle on the wooden trailer was dying, with blood stains and wounds all over his body. The wounds seemed to have been bitten by something. One ear and two palms were gone, and only the tied cloth seeped out of the wounds.
It was covered in dark brown blood, and what was even more frightening was that its mouth was full of canine excrement.
Looking further down, in addition to the upper body covered with wounds, there was also blood on the lower body, and both legs seemed to have been broken.
Zan Shou and Zhong You saw that the uncle Bai Yan who had stopped them had ended up like this, and their minds went blank. Can they still be saved? I'm afraid that after being revived, he will be a man who can't walk and has no hands in the future.
There is that lower body.
Thinking that it was the two of them who asked him to go to Daliang two days ago, they couldn't help but look at Bai Yan guiltily, as if they had harmed Bai Yan's uncle.
"General, the King of Wei has gone too far!"
"The King of Wei's move is not only humiliating the general, but also humiliating the state of Qin!"
Yu Feng, Yu Lu and other generals couldn't help but look at Bai Yan with righteous indignation after seeing the appearance of Bai Yan's uncle. They must know that this man is the general's uncle, and he is going there as an envoy.
Beam.
The false behavior of King Wei went far beyond ordinary humiliation. It not only humiliated the general, but also humiliated the Qin State!
Beside the wooden trailer.
Bai Yan was riding a war horse and could smell the stench from his uncle's mouth. Looking at his miserable appearance, Bai Yan's eyes were full of complexity. If the uncle was not greedy, how could he end up like this?
When he was a child, he relied on his grandfather's favoritism and his elder brother's status to like to take advantage. Later, whether overtly or covertly, he wanted to steal his parents' money, and then later stole his money and horses. In the end, he became even more greedy.
Want to compete for credit.
Although I don’t know what the uncle went through in Daliang City, his appearance clearly shows that he has been tortured. Is this considered retribution?
Listening to the angry words of other generals around him, Bai Yan felt complicated in his heart.
"Dig a canal to release water!"
Bai Yan looked at Daliang City in the distance and ordered softly. Before turning around and leaving, he glanced at the soulless corpse before continuing to leave.
"promise!"
Yan Mao answered Bai Yan's order, looked at Bai Yan's leaving back, turned to look at Daliang City, Yan Mao's eyes gradually revealed a fierce look.
Wei Zhuang looked at this scene and also looked at Daliang City. He did not expect that Bai Yan's uncle would end up like this after he went to Daliang as an envoy.
From the uncle's character, to saving Wu Yun, killing Wei's fake dog, to the uncle's appearance, the identity of Qi people, and secretly stopping Zan Shou and Zhong You, these are all determined by the character, and are set out in the outline
It was decided that the uncle would show up, and Shicheng and Shiyan knew that Bai Yan was from Qi, so Shiyan would look for Tian Sui.
During this time, my wife's pregnancy is getting more and more serious. She has done all the housework with a knife, and has to do re-examination and so on. Sorry, the update is not fixed these two days.
