Chapter 606: King Qis confusion, Bai Yans mentor!!!
Three simple words, but Tian Ding's heart was filled with self-blame and regret. Feeling the eyes of everyone, he even felt unable to lift his head.
In the past, if Bai Yan blamed him, scolded him, or even retaliated against him, these would make Tian Ding feel better, but Bai Yan did not blame him, and did not even rebuke him. This made Tian Ding seem to have a feeling in his heart.
The root thorn cannot be removed by Tian Ding, nor can it be pulled out, and no one can tell it.
Whenever he saw Wang Jian of Qi talking about Bai Yan's longing look, whenever he saw his colleagues full of regrets that Bai Yan would not return to Qi, Tian Ding was the only one to feel the pain in his heart. The bitterness in it,
Self-blame made Tian Ding even more panic-stricken.
Say it now.
It seemed as if he was relieved and relaxed, which made Tian Ding feel better.
"this……"
Qi Wangjian was confused. Hearing Tian Ding's words, Qi Wangjian, who had never met Bai Yan, was completely confused. Bai Yan didn't hate Tian Ding. This, how dare people believe it.
Under the gaze of Qi Wangjian, and under the frowning and curious gazes of Concubine Li and even Guichan, Tian Ding looked at Young Master Sheng beside him.
"Young Master Bai Yan is a man I have met in Suiyang City. You should understand!"
Tian Ding said.
Young Master Sheng was already dumbstruck at this moment. Hearing Tian Ding's words, he had not recovered from the things that stunned him one after another. When he saw his father's eyes looking over, he nodded instinctively.
Then he told his feelings about meeting Bai Yan, including the Wei people who were willing to go through life and death for Bai Yan just a few months after he surrendered to the Qin Dynasty.
Recalling the scenes in Suiyang City, now listening to Zongbo Tian Ding's words, Gongzi Sheng once again had a clearer intuition about Bai Yan in his mind.
"Bai Yan doesn't hate Tian Ding!"
Qi Wangjian had never met Bai Yan, but when he looked at his arrogant eldest son and recalled Bai Yan, his eyes twinkled and his words were filled with admiration, and he finally believed his clan brother's words.
Looking at clan brother Tian Ding's appearance, Qi Wangjian also knew that he was definitely not pretending. clan brother would never show such a regretful face in front of outsiders. The last time clan brother showed such an expression was when his deceased wife died.
For several months, he was locked in the mansion and could not leave the house for several months.
After listening to the clan brother Tian Ding's eldest son's words, he told what happened to Bai Yan without any concealment. Qi Wangjian actually guessed the clan brother's character and wanted to save the past regrets, otherwise Bai Yan would have to return to Qi.
, the clan brother would also feel guilty, and with Tian Ding's words, Tian Ding revealed everything. Qi Wangjian finally understood why the clan brother had been personally trying to persuade Bai Yan to return to Qi.
"Even so, I don't blame the clan brother. I just hope that if something happens in the future, the clan brother can tell me, otherwise I will still be the King of Qi? In the eyes of the clan brother, can I be the King of Qi?"
After listening to Tian Ding's story, Qi Wangjian's anger dissipated. After scolding him, he also found a step to go down.
At this time, Concubine Li also felt that Qi Wangjian's anger had obviously dissipated. She glanced at Gongzi Sheng, and saw that Gongzi Sheng was still in a daze, as if his expression was dull, and she didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Li Fei could only look at Guichan.
Guichan understood, then walked to Tian Ding and helped Tian Ding get up.
"Brother, get up!"
Qi Wangjian looked at Tian Ding and said something in a dissatisfied tone. After Tian Ding got up, Qi Wangjian hurriedly asked Tian Ding again.
"Where are Bai Yan's clan members? I want to come personally to see Bai Yan's clan members!"
Now that it is clear why the clan brother wants to conceal Bai Yan's affairs, the most important thing at the moment is to win over Bai Yan to return to Qi. And since Tian Ding cannot persuade Bai Yan to return to Qi, Qi Wang Jian decided to visit Bai Yan in person.
I hope that Bai Yan’s tribe can see his sincerity and persuade Bai Yan to return to Qi for him.
"Back to the king, Bai Yan did not return to Qi, and this is the reason!"
Tian Ding looked at Qi Wangjian who looked like Zhao Ji and said softly.
When Qi Wangjian heard Tian Ding's words, he frowned and didn't understand what Tian Ding meant.
"Your Majesty, may you know why Bai Yan made great military exploits in Qi State, became a general of Qin, and received a fiefdom, but from the beginning to the end, Bai Yan always uses the surname Bai to refer to people instead of his own surname!"
Tian Ding looked at Qi Wangjian.
If it had happened before, Tian Ding would definitely tell Qi Wangjian about Bai Yan's origins and ask Qi Wangjian to meet the old woman. He would also ask Qi Wangjian, the king of the entire Qi Kingdom, to go to the water village in person to meet the couple.
Let all the villagers who had laughed at the young man take a look and see that the King of Qi, the King of Qi, personally went to the village to visit him.
But in Suiyang City, what Bai Yan said was still vivid in Tian Ding's mind.
Tian Ding was not sure whether what Bai Yan said was true, but before this dream, Bai Yan actually followed the dream and found the Jiuzhou Cauldron that had been buried for decades. Decades! The roots of the giant tree were all because of
The Jiuzhou tripod formed a unique shape and was brought back to Xianyang by Ying Zheng.
Ruo Bai Yan's words are true.
So the restoration of Qi State must be indispensable for Bai Yan, and Bai Yan's role at that time will far exceed Bai Yan's role when he returns to Qi State at this time. If Ying Zheng is the common leader of the world, then after Ying Zheng, the restoration at that time will
The country, when things are done, Qi will be a Qi that dominates the world, not a weak Qi that lives alone in a corner between Qin and Chu.
Although he has never met Ying Zheng, the king did not know Bai Yan's origin from Guichan. Apparently Ying Zheng also concealed Bai Yan's origin and did not tell others.
This also gave Tian Ding a choice not to say it, at least not for now.
"Hi~! This guy didn't pay attention!"
When Qi Wangjian heard Tian Ding's words, he realized at this time, indeed, why Bai Yan is still named Bai Yan now that he is successful and famous? What is going on? Why does Bai Yan no longer have his surname?
Guichan and Li Fei also noticed this at this time, and an idea suddenly appeared in their minds.
"If Tian Ding guessed correctly, Bai Yan is mostly an abandoned baby, adopted by his mentor!"
Tian Ding raised his hand, cupped his hands to Qi Wangjian, and told Qi Wangjian that his guess was the same, so Bai Yan was unknown, but he was talented and learned, not arrogant, open-minded, and good at leading troops.
"My clan brother doesn't know Bai Yan's origin?"
When Qi Wangjian heard Tian Ding's words, he was completely dumbfounded. He thought that his elder brother also knew Bai Yan's origin. Thinking of this, Qi Wangjian looked at his daughter, Guichan, who was beside Tian Ding.
Looking at his daughter's appearance, Qi Wangjian realized that his daughter had obviously guessed that the clan brother knew about Bai Yan's origins.
It was only then that King Jian of Qi realized that he had some misunderstandings about his clan brother.
"Brother, does that clan know who Bai Yan's mentor is? If I'm willing, I'll come personally!"
Qi Wangjian could only retreat and look at Tian Ding. At this time, Qi Wangjian didn't have much hope. If he was nameless, it would be difficult to find out, let alone who his mentor was.
However, just when Qi Wangjian was a little discouraged and had no hope, he suddenly saw Tian Ding hand over his hand.
"Tian Ding has found out who Bai Yan's apprentice is!"
Tian Ding said.
These words made the originally disappointed Qi Wangjian suddenly widen his eyes and become excited again, while Gongzi Sheng opened his mouth and looked at Uncle Zong next to him in dumbfounded amazement.
what's the situation?
Why did Uncle Zong know everything but didn’t tell him anything before!!!
No, if Uncle Zong knew who Bai Yan's mentor was, then he wouldn't be so anxious and go straight to see Bai Yan. He is not a fool. If he knew about Bai Yan's mentor, he would definitely go to see his mentor first, at least
I also require a letter!
Uncle Zong mistaken me!!!
Young Master Sheng looked at Zong Bo Tian Ding with a bitter look on his face and eyes full of resentment.
At this time, Tian Ding ignored Young Master Sheng's look. Under Qi Wangjian's gaze, he picked up the brush that Qi Wangjian had dropped on the ground and a scroll of bamboo slips among the mess, and then wrote two words on it.
After putting away the bamboo slips, he handed it to Qi Wangjian so that Qi Wangjian could read it alone.
When Li Fei saw this, she saw Tian Ding's eyes, thought about it, and stepped aside sensibly. Li Fei knew that since Tian Ding spoke, King Qi would let her leave even if she didn't leave.
"What!! Impossible!!!"
After Qi Wangjian opened the bamboo slips and saw the word "Tian Jin" on it, he stood up and looked at Tian Ding in shock.
Tian Ding looked at Qi Wangjian without saying a word. This attitude also told Qi Wangjian that this matter was true, and Bai Yan's mentor was really Tian Jin!
At the beginning, King Jian of Qi ordered the execution of Qi minister Tian Jin, who was implicated in his family.
"Who else knows about this?"
King Jian of Qi finally understood why Bai Yan didn't want to return to Qi, and why Tian Ding secretly told Bai Yan's mentor to only him, not even Concubine Qi, Prince Sheng, or Gui Chan.
When word spread that Tian Ding drove Bai Yan out of Qi, if Bai Yan did not return to Qi, countless scholars, civil and military officials in Qi would scold his brother Tian Ding for harming the country and being too domineering. Many people hoped that Bai Yan would return to Qi.
The scholars of the country will also be dissatisfied with the past actions of their clan brothers.
But if word gets out that Bai Yan is a disciple of Tian Jin, then what will the people of Qi, the scholars of Qi, and all the civil and military officials think of him? When he ordered Tian Jin to be killed and Tian Jin's clan was destroyed,
He has ignored the advice of hundreds of officials and made them feel resentful if they found out that Bai Yan was Tian Jin's disciple.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!!"
Before Tian Ding could answer Qi Wangjian, he saw the old eunuch hurriedly came to the study.
When Prince Sheng, Concubine Li and others were still wondering why Tian Ding couldn't tell Master Bai Yan, they saw the old eunuch coming with a happy face.
"Your Majesty, the Zhan family asked to see the king. He said that it was his grandson Zhan Zhao who had found the old man riding a bull. He had brought back the handwriting and went to Tian Mansion to identify it. It was confirmed to be correct. The appearance was very similar. It was just a matter of time to see him.
Myself!"
The old eunuch handed over his hand to King Jian of Qi to report.
A few words.
Like thunder, the pale Wang Jian of Qi was instantly shocked again. He looked at the eunuch, Li Fei, Gui Chan, Gong Zi Sheng, and even Tian Ding in disbelief. They were all surprised.
"What? Found the old bull rider?"
"I actually found the old man!"
Both Guichan and Gongzi Sheng understood the weight of the old man riding the bull. When the bamboo slips came out, countless people from Qi State were looking for them, and other countries, including Yan State and Chu State, were looking for him.
The Wei State and even the Qi State also sent people to continuously search for the old man. Unexpectedly, when everyone was searching for the old man without a trace, he was actually found by the Zhan family.
If this matter were to spread, it would probably cause a sensation.
Guichan looked at the old eunuch and suddenly thought that Ying Zheng was also looking for her, and that at this moment, the ministers Mao Jiao, Yao Jia, and General Sima Xing were all in Linzi, Qi State.
The news about the old man riding the bull may also make Ying Zheng anxious.
"It's absolutely true! Can Your Majesty summon the Zhan family?"
The old eunuch looked at Qi Wangjian.
"Quick, quick, quick! Call people into the palace quickly!!!"
Only then did Qi Wangjian react and hurriedly urged the old eunuch to bring the people in quickly.
…………………………
Tianfu.
Tian Ding had just returned to the mansion and saw his eldest son Tian Cong and his third son Tian Xian waiting for him in the courtyard. After seeing him, he hurried forward and asked King Qi if he was to blame.
When Tian Ding saw this, he told his two sons the complete story.
After all, the two sons also know about the old woman and Shuicun. They must let them know the cause and effect.
"It's good if King Qi doesn't blame you!"
"Fortunately! But father, why didn't you tell King Qi...about Bai Yan's family?"
Tian Cong and Tian Xian were relieved to learn that King Qi did not blame him. Tian Xian looked around and saw no one, so he looked at his father curiously.
In the eyes of the two brothers, if King Qi could personally go to the water village and visit the village, it would definitely cause a sensation, not only giving Bai Yan face, but also giving Bai Yan a sigh of relief in disguise, making those who used to laugh at Bai Yan
The villagers, as well as the villagers from other villages, asked everyone to take a good look at the young man they laughed at at the beginning. Now the King of Qi did not hesitate to visit him personally in order to return him to Qi.
Maybe with King Qi's behavior, Bai Yan's parents and grandmother would be willing to persuade Bai Yan to return to Qi after seeing King Qi's attention.
"This matter has changed. I will inform you two later, where is Yan'er?"
Tian Ding was not in a hurry to tell Tian Cong and Tian Xian what Bai Yan said in Suiyang City. Tian Ding knew that the matter was of great importance and that not a single word of Bai Yan's words could be spread. The top priority now was to see Yan'er.
"In the backyard!"
Tian Xian didn't understand why his father didn't let King Qi go to see Bai Yan's family. When he heard his father's inquiry and saw his father's anxious look, he hurriedly said, and then he and his brother took his father to the backyard to find his little sister.
The backyard is covered with snow, and whether it is the courtyard, pavilion or eaves, it is covered with snow everywhere.
Two piles of snowmen are standing in the cold wind. One cute snowman is looking at the sky and standing with a snowman on his back. The other snowman is watching silently from behind, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.
Down the corridor.
Tian Ding, father and son, soon followed the pavilion, passed by the yard, and then came to Tian Feiyan's study. Just when they opened the door, a warm breath greeted them.
There was still hot food placed on the wooden table, and the girl next to the wooden table was wearing a white fox fur and looking at the bamboo slips.
"Yan'er!"
Tian Ding sighed, looked at the girl looking over, put down the bamboo slips, her pretty face was full of smiles, no matter how much Tian Ding said, he was not in a hurry, but looked at the stove to see if the maid had forgotten to add charcoal.
, and then looked at the white fox fur on the woman's body to see if it had become smaller this year.
Her mother passed away early. As a father, what he was most worried about was that she would be cold in the cold weather without her mother caring for her early.
"Father!!"
Tian Feiyan looked at his father, obediently stepped forward, took Tian Ding's hand, seemingly not feeling the coldness of Tian Ding's hand, and pulled Tian Ding to sit at the wooden table.
"Tell father, is the old man Zhan Zhao found really the old man you saw?"
Tian Ding just sat down and looked at his daughter, frowning and asking.
The old man who wrote the letter to his daughter was an important matter, and no joking was allowed on this matter. Tian Ding knew his daughter, and he was worried that her daughter had deliberately lied because of him.
The fact that he drove Bai Yan out of Qi State will spread throughout Linzi City soon, and then countless people will know that it was Tian Ding's selfishness that caused Qi State to lose Bai Yan.
Tian Ding could predict how the world would blame him, how angry his colleagues would be, and how the people would speak.
None of this can be changed.
But if the old man riding the bull is found, the world's attention will be diverted to the mysterious old man in a very short period of time.
So after Tian Ding returned home, he immediately came to find his daughter.
"There is no difference in the handwriting. The king should have read it. Didn't father read it?"
When Tian Feiyan heard his father's words, he frowned and said, looking at his father with disbelief and dissatisfaction.
"Yan'er!"
Tian Cong couldn't help but speak.
Looking at his little sister, Tian Cong knew clearly that his father had just been reprimanded by King Qi. Faced with King Qi's anger, his father would rather hide it from King Qi than involve his little sister in Bai Yan's matter.
The reason is that if the little sister is involved, not only the King of Qi will take advantage of the little sister, but also the Chu and Qi countries will not sit idly by.
His father tried every means to get Bai Yan to return to Qi. If he wasn't worried about Bai Yan's revenge and self-defeating, he didn't force Bai Yan's family members. The only one who his father had never even thought about was his younger sister.
If something happens to my little sister, she really shouldn't hide it from her father or them anymore.
"I've said it all, just from the description, it looks very similar, but you have to see him in person to be sure if he is the old man who wrote the book for his daughter! My father and brother asked Yan'er, it would be better to let Zhan Zhao take the person back to Linzi and let my daughter
See you!"
Tian Feiyan listened to his brother's words, lowered his head and looked to the side, a little stubborn, seemed a little aggrieved and angry.
When Tian Ding and Tian Cong saw this, they sighed. It was true that Tian Feiyan said that he wanted to see him and invited people to come to Zi to find out.
"Oh, I hope it's the old man who wrote the book for Yan'er!"
A hint of fatigue appeared on Tian Ding's face.
"Xian'er, in a few days, you will go with Zhan Zhao to visit the old man! Please ask the old man to come to Zi!"
Tian Ding ordered.
"Yes, father!"
When Tian Xian heard this, he nodded, but he glanced at the little sister without any trace. Seeing Tian Feiyan looking down at the door, Tian Xian guessed something, but he also knew that the little sister did the right thing.
It is not difficult to go there, but what is difficult is to let my father and King Qi see the old man as they wish!
Thinking of this, Tian Xian felt a little regretful and didn't know if he would be able to find the mysterious old man in the future.
At this time, a maid came in with warm tea.
Tian Xian didn't notice that Tian Feiyan's eyes were looking at the little snowman holding a bamboo slip in the yard through the open door.
