Chapter 537 Bai Yan has a dream, Xiao He and others are shocked
"General, general! We have found the Jiuding!"
In Surabaya River, next to a ship, a man grabbed the side of the ship with one hand in the water and shouted to the riverside.
The voice sounded.
The other men and soldiers on the boats in the Si River all froze in place. After regaining their senses, when the divers who were familiar with the water appeared from the water, and after learning about the situation, they all boarded the boats one after another and headed towards the sight.
Rush to the direction of the man in Jiuding.
"General, we have seen Jiuding!"
Xiao He stood by the river and said to Bai Yan beside him, looking at the figures on the riverside, full of excitement.
Two days have passed since Bai Yan salvaged the Jiuding. Xiao He did not expect that he would actually find the Jiuding.
"Qin has Jiuding, and when the time comes, the King of Qin will definitely reward the general greatly!"
Xiao He said.
When Bai Yan heard Xiao He's words, he turned his head and looked at Kou Zhuang.
"Order someone to fish out the tripod!"
Bai Yan tied up his hair and his face did not show any excitement because of the news about Jiuding.
Xiao He and Kou Zhuang thought that the general was prudent or that the general did not value Jiuding, so although they had doubts, they did not think much about it.
"promise!"
Kou Zhuang nodded, then turned around to make preparations.
After a while.
With the coordination of ships, ropes were pulled along the Surabaya River into Surabaya. As the ropes rotated, they turned into thicker ropes. Under Kou Zhuang's order, many cavalry soldiers
They all grabbed the thick rope and worked together to slowly drag the Jiuding out of the Sishui River in the distance.
During this period, all those who were good at water were also busy in Surabaya, confirming that the underwater Jiuding could successfully emerge from the water.
Half an hour passed slowly
"General, we're out of the water!!"
"It's really Jiuding!!"
When Jiuding was dragged ashore as expected and its legs were exposed, Xiao He and Kou Zhuang both exclaimed.
Even Zhang was a little confused and stared, because even if he only showed one leg of the tripod, it was not difficult for him to see that this Jiuding was really big.
"Bring Song Zi!"
Bai Yan watched Jiuding slowly emerge from the water, turned around and gave instructions.
Soon, under the leadership of a soldier, the obedient Nie Kuan was brought behind Bai Yan. Then, in the eyes of Xiao He, Gu, and Kou Zhuang, Bai Yan turned around and looked straight at Nie Kuan.
"Now that you have obtained the Nine Cauldrons, you have made a great contribution! I will reward you!"
According to the agreement, Bai Yan asked Mang to reward this "Songzi" with all the ten gold coins he brought with him. Then he asked this "Songzi" to go home and wait for the news. Maybe the King of Qin would be very happy and reward him again.
"Thank you, General! Thank you, General!!!"
Nie Kuan got the gold, knelt on the ground, thanked him repeatedly, and kowtowed to Bai Yan.
In the eyes of Xiao He and others, Nie Kuan was grateful because he was excited, but in Bai Yan's eyes, it was very clear that the reason why Nie Kuan was excited now was entirely because he saw that the plan had succeeded. In Nie Kuan's heart, he had already seen that he had been defeated by the world.
A shameless look.
"General, Jiuding has been released from the water. You can order people to send the news back to Pengcheng. Let General Jiu send people out of the city to guard against the scholars in Pengcheng causing trouble!"
Xiao He looked thoughtful, and after seeing Jiuding's excitement slowly calmed down, he admonished Bai Yan.
As a scholar, Xiao He knew that in the eyes of the world's scholars, they did not want to see Qin get the Nine Tripods, which symbolized the Nine Provinces. Although it was impossible to win the Tripod among the Iron Riders, if you were not careful and encountered some angry people.
The scholar was so excited that he hit the Jiuding with his life. If word spread, it will inevitably add flaws to the matter.
"Wait a minute!"
Bai Yan raised a hand, signaling Xiao He not to speak, and watched as those Shanshui people recruited from Pengcheng left with their cronies and returned to Pengcheng to receive their rewards.
After those people walked away, Bai Yan turned around with solemn eyes.
At this moment, all the Iron Cavalry soldiers around showed cheerful expressions, constantly looking at Jiuding, and then looked at Bai Yan. As Iron Cavalry soldiers, they swore to follow Bai Yan to the death, and now they were naturally happy for the general.
But when it calmed down, all the soldiers saw that Bai Yan's face was not happy at all, and then they realized that something was wrong. Each of the soldiers slowly showed doubts in their eyes, and their smiles faded.
"What's the matter? General?"
Zhang looked at Bai Yan with a confused look on his face and stood next to Bai Yan. Zhang was wearing armor and holding a sword hilt in one hand. Although he didn't know why Bai Yan was unhappy, Zhang was still ready to obey orders.
At this time, Xiao He and Kou Zhuang also looked at each other in astonishment, and then looked at Bai Yan patiently.
waited for so long.
Bai Yan then walked step by step to Jiuding's side, looked at Jiuding in front of him, turned around, and looked at everyone.
"Bai Yan had a dream last night. He dreamed that God told Bai Yan that the King of Qin was the common master of the world, and asked Bai Yan to inherit the destiny and return the Nine Cauldrons to Qin. He also told Bai Yan that the Nine Cauldrons were not this cauldron, and that a giant dragon led Bai Yan to a giant
Under the tree, the dragon spiraled up and finally flew to Xianyang!"
Bai Yan looked at all the soldiers and spoke loudly.
Bai Yan is not worried about praising this giant dragon. Since ancient times, scholars all over the world have liked mysterious colors, and this is also known as a sign from the sky. The right way of the world is recognized by the world, whether it is King Wu of Zhou, Xia, or Shang.
It was auspicious that later Liu Bang used the red sky to kill the White Snake. There are similar sayings for countless emperors in later generations.
Previously, in order to convince the world, the Qin State specifically quoted the theory of the Five Elements from Zou Yan, a Yin-Yang master, and regarded the Qin State as the virtue of water, and the water was black. Therefore, both the King of Qin and the ministers of the Qin State respected black.
But this has never been recognized by the world. After all, these were decided by Qin itself, so it is difficult to be convincing.
Bai Yan knew Ying Zheng's pain, so now he took the opportunity to describe the scene in the dream, and the dragon in the dream who helped him find a tripod for Qin and presented the nine tripods to the King of Qin.
If the Qin State respects black and cannot convince the world, then if Jiuding appears...
"What?"
"this……"
On the banks of the Sishui River, when they heard Bai Yan's words, not to mention all the soldiers looked at each other with bewildered expressions, even the trusted generals such as Xiao He, Mou, and Kou Zhuang also looked at Bai Yan with confused expressions.
Bai Yan had a dream! The big tripod they salvaged in Surabaya was actually not Jiuding. The real Jiuding was under a tree!
Not to mention that they couldn't believe what he said, even if it spread out, people in the world would probably say that this must be a dream that Bai Yan had by chance.
"This matter must not be spread out and let me go!"
Bai Yan naturally saw the eyes of Xiao He and others, but Bai Yan didn't explain much, and even stopped everyone from spreading the news.
Then Bai Yan simply glanced at Ding, turned around, and left the riverside.
Now Xiao He and others were completely stunned on the spot, looking at the Jiuding that was finally salvaged. They all panicked when they saw that Bai Yan was really planning to abandon the Jiuding.
None of them could understand why Bai Yan actually abandoned Jiuding by the river just because of a dream. This was a petty mistake. If word spread, I'm afraid it would make people laugh.
But Bai Yan ordered that none of them dare to disobey.
"General Zhang, please immediately leave a few soldiers to guard here. We need to wait until we return to Pengcheng to inform Mr. Xun!"
Xiao He thought for a while and said to Zhang in a panic, Xiao He now knows that if Bai Yan really believes in the dream and abandons the Jiuding, something will happen if the tripod is lost. At the moment, the only people who can persuade Bai Yan are those in Pengcheng.
Mr. Xun.
"good!"
Zhang nodded, then turned around and whispered to a few soldiers to guard here.
Two hours later.
Xiao He, Mang, Kou Zhuang and others, with all the soldiers, followed Bai Yan all the way to a remote dense forest. They looked at the wild trees all around. Just when Xiao He and others wanted to say something, Bai Yan
Yan stopped and pointed to a ginkgo tree that was nearly forty years old.
"In the dream, the tripod was under the tree!"
Bai Yan glanced at the only ginkgo tree around and motioned to the soldiers to dig it up.
Bai Yan knew how ridiculous his words were. After all, the nearly forty-year-old ginkgo tree in front of him could only be hugged by at least two people. Its rhizomes were on the ground, and the thick rhizomes visible to the naked eye extended in all directions.
When Kou Zhuang and Zhang heard Bai Yan's words, although they both knew that this was a dream of the general, they did not complain at all. Even after hearing Bai Yan's order, the soldiers began to look for tools to build tools around the giant tree.
All the soil was dug up.
Fortunately, there was only one tree, and fortunately there were enough soldiers searching for the tripod. When digging the tree, they could not only cooperate with each other, but also take turns to rest.
soon.
Around the huge ginkgo tree, the soldiers quickly dug up the soil. More and more roots were exposed on the surface, and there were more and more holes. Some soldiers brought the thick ropes to the end of the tree, and each root was thick.
The rope was pulled in the same direction from the ground by other soldiers.
They were all soldiers who went through life and death together and went to the battlefield together. With their joint efforts, their strength was far beyond everyone's imagination. In almost two hours, the huge ginkgo tree slowly fell in front of Bai Yan.
"Dig more!"
Bai Yan looked at the deep pit where there was no giant tree anymore and continued to give instructions.
Bai Yan did not doubt the words of the person who buried the tripod. Bai Yan had already used Jiuding as a reason to find the corpses of his family members and ordered people to find the bodies and bury them. Since the old man wanted his descendants to be buried in peace, he should know the consequences of deception.
.
Watching the sky gradually darken.
Bai Yan stood among the many soldiers, looking at the busy soldiers in front, waiting patiently.
"General!!! General!!!"
"General!!! Found it!!!"
Suddenly, frightened shouts came from under the pit. The voice did not sound excited at all, but was full of fear.
At this moment, Bai Yan's eyes narrowed and he slowly stepped forward.
Xiao He, Kou Zhuang, Zhang and other close associates were shocked when they heard the soldiers said they had found it. They followed Bai Yan forward with confused expressions on their faces. They didn't believe it at all. They had just seen this with their own eyes.
A big tree, see its roots...
Thinking room.
When Xiao He, Kou Zhuang, Zhang, and other cavalry generals followed Bai Yan to the deep pit, they looked at the pit. All the soldiers looked frightened. In the end, they all clearly saw that in the pit, there was a person more powerful than Sishui.
The huge tripod horn is exposed from the ground.
this moment.
Not to mention Xiao He, Kou Zhuang and other cronies shrank their pupils, their trembling eyes were full of disbelief, and their faces were horrified. Even Kuang was so frightened that his face changed. He looked at Ding in surprise, and then looked at the general.
You know, it was the general's dream for them to come here!
But now here, I really see the cauldron! An unprecedented and extremely huge cauldron.
"There really is Jiuding!!!"
"Look! There really is a Jiuding!!!"
Outside the pit, all the cavalry soldiers looked at this scene with shocked expressions. Soldiers who had never been timid on the battlefield, but at this moment, there were many people whose legs and feet were trembling, looking at the huge cauldron with horrified eyes.
………………
In the night.
Xun Shuo stood in the mansion uneasily, came to the courtyard, and looked at the moonlight and stars in the sky.
There are many noble families in Pengcheng, and they all have evil intentions. Now that Bai Yan has led the cavalry to occupy Pengcheng, these noble families have just shown their respect, but secretly they are colluding with each other.
To convince those nobles, some arrangements are still needed, and it will also take some time.
But right now, I'm afraid I can't wait any longer.
"grown ups!"
Suddenly, a servant hurriedly came to Xun Shuo and said something to Xun Shuo. Hearing this, Xun Shuo looked stunned and hurriedly walked out of the mansion.
Outside the gate of Pengcheng.
Xun Shuo ordered people to open the city gate. When he saw the cavalry soldiers coming back carrying a huge cauldron, his face was not happy. Instead, he came to Bai Yan full of worry and bowed his hands in ceremony to Bai Yan.
"General!"
After Xun Shuo saluted, he quickly asked Bai Yan to go aside to talk with him.
"This tripod is probably fake!"
Xun Shuo said to Bai Yan, looking at the big cauldron under countless torches in the night, Xun Shuo told Bai Yan about Shiliting with a worried look. He had already ordered people to investigate, but he still
no result.
Xun Shuo suspected that what happened at Shiliting must be related to Jiuding.
"I know!"
Bai Yan nodded. Under Xun Shuo's doubtful eyes, Xiao He on the side briefly told what happened in the past two days. When he talked about the rest, Xun Shuo looked at Bai Yan with a surprised look on his face.
After finding a Jiuding in Sishui, Bai Yan lost the Jiuding because of a dream, then went to dig another Jiuding under a giant tree?
Xun Shuo looked at Bai Yan suspiciously, why did this matter sound so unbelievable!
"This is absolutely true. All the soldiers have witnessed it with their own eyes. It is definitely not a lie!"
Xiao He looked at Xun Shuo and said with a smile.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Xiao He would not believe that this matter was actually true. Xiao He had a hunch that even if Bai Yan had ordered to conceal this matter, so many soldiers had witnessed it with their own eyes, and they would definitely not be able to hide it for long.
Even Xiao He, all the way back, couldn't help but lament this matter with Mang and Kou Zhuang.
"Prepare for two days, and after offering sacrifices in Pengcheng, send the tripod to Xianyang!"
Bai Yan looked at the confused Xun Shuo and couldn't help but laugh. Thinking of Lord Changping who was still in Daliang, Bai Yan couldn't bear to keep Lord Changping waiting.
Thinking of Lord Changping's plan, Bai Yan wanted to know how Lord Changping would react if he learned that the tripod he brought back to Xianyang was the real Jiuding.
At the beginning, King Qi placed Jiuding in Pengcheng because of Pengcheng's historical status. Now Bai Yan also plans to tell the world and the world that he, Bai Yan, will bring Jiuding back to Xianyang!
"This dream..."
After Xun Shuo confirmed that Xiao He was not joking, he was completely confused. After taking a look at Bai Yan, he couldn't help but hurriedly took the torch from the retinue's hand, followed Jiuding, and looked at Jiuding from a close distance.
When he saw the exquisite carvings on the Jiuding and looked at the gaps, there were still some faint traces of soil, but it did not look like it had been soaked in Surabaya for many years.
blank.
Bai Yan really found this big cauldron in front of him because of a dream!!!
A moment of astonishment.
Xun Shuo turned his head and looked at Bai Yan blankly.
When Bai Yan saw Xun Shuo's appearance, he smiled and signaled that he should go back to the mansion first.
Xiao He and Zhang on the side couldn't help but smile slightly when they saw Xun Shuo's expression.
Yang Guan.
At night, in this important city on the border of Qi State, lights came from a mansion.
Looking through the window, Tian Sui was kneeling in front of Tian Ding.
"Now there is not much time left before Pengcheng. My father is going alone. The child is really worried. The child also wants to go to Pengcheng with his father to see Bai Yan."
Although Tian Sui was rejected by his father Tian Ding, this time Tian Sui was determined to go to Pengcheng with his father, even at the risk of being blamed by his father.
Tian Ding looked at Zhongzi who was kneeling on the ground, stubbornly refusing to leave, and sighed helplessly.
"If you were not in the camp, my father would be worried that something might happen to him!"
Tian Ding said.
Under Tian Sui's puzzled gaze, Tian Ding glanced at his third son, Tian Xian, who was following him this time, and then looked out the window.
"Qin will destroy Wei and never wants to see the alliance between Qi and Chu. Therefore, it must create a gap between Qi and Chu."
Tian Ding said, frowning slightly.
Tian Xian looked at his silent father at this time, and then looked at his brother Tian Sui.
"Brother Zhong, Yao Jia and Hou Sheng may be cheating secretly this time. It would be inappropriate if Brother Zhong is not in the camp!"
Tian Xian explained.
Tian Xian also knew how much his brother Tian Sui longed to see Bai Yan, but now Brother Zhong really couldn't leave the camp easily and abandon all the soldiers and horses in his hands.
To be honest, if his father had not learned that Bai Yan was driven out of Qi State by himself, and his father now insisted on meeting Bai Yan in person, Tian Xian would not have approved of his father leaving Qi State and going to Chu State at this time.
Thinking of this, Tian Xian turned his head and looked at his father Tian Ding.
Since his father is not in Linzi, Qi State, I am afraid that Hou Sheng will not be peaceful during this period. However, in his father's eyes, the current Bai Yan is far greater than Hou Sheng's small actions, and even greater than everything in Qi State.
