Under the dim moonlight, there were still many pedestrians on the streets of Wanfeng.
In the shops on both sides of the street, candle lights add a lot of light to the street.
Uncle Bai led his son Bai Ping as he walked through the streets, looking at the merchants passing by. When he met acquaintances, he occasionally raised his hands in greetings.
After a long time.
Uncle Bai, Bai Ping and his son just arrived at a mansion.
"Who are you?"
Outside the mansion, six cavalry officers guarding the door looked at Uncle Bai and his son and asked.
He looked up and down to make sure there was no danger before relaxing some of his vigilance.
"I am Bai Yan, the eldest son of Bai Zhong of the Bai family in Pingyang, and the eldest brother of Bai Yu. I heard that Bai Yu is in Wanfeng this time, so I came to meet you."
Uncle Bai said to the soldiers with his hands raised, his tone was very polite.
Bai Ping was also standing next to Uncle Bai at this moment, holding his hands in a salute.
"General Bai Yu's eldest brother?"
The six cavalry officers were very surprised after learning about Uncle Bai's identity.
A member of the Bai clan, the eldest brother of General Bai Yu?
They didn't expect that they would meet General Bai Yu's tribe here.
"Please wait a moment, I will report to the general right now!"
A cavalry soldier raised his hand to Uncle Bai.
Now that General Bai Yu was injured and poisoned, he was in Yangcheng and it was not yet known whether he was awake or not. Facing General Bai Yu's tribe, he did not dare to make the decision without authorization and inform General Bai Yu's eldest brother about the matter.
"Thank you!"
Uncle Bai cupped his hands and said.
The cavalry officer nodded, turned around and walked towards the mansion.
"Father, do you think my uncle might accidentally bump into us here later?"
Bai Ping looked at the backs of the cavalry soldiers, turned to his father, Uncle Bai, and said.
Even Bai Ping himself felt that this was too coincidental. If it had been one day earlier and one day later, neither he nor his father would have appeared in Wanfeng City.
"It's natural."
When Uncle Bai heard what his eldest son said, he smiled softly.
Bai Ping looked at the five cavalry soldiers in front of him and felt that they were particularly majestic. When he thought of the few cavalry soldiers in front of him, there were tens of thousands of cavalry soldiers under his uncle's command.
How shocking it would be to see the black flags with the word Qin accompanying them when they set off for the expedition.
At the gate of the mansion.
The five cavalry officers looked at Uncle Bai and the young man and looked at each other, their brows slightly furrowed and their eyes somewhat worried.
Logically speaking, they shouldn't frown when General Bai Yu's eldest brother comes.
But now General Bai Yu is poisoned and comatose, and the person leading them is Bai Yan!
Before General Bai Yu was poisoned, on their way to Nanyang to escort the grain and grass supplies, they heard the soldiers returning from the Bai family say that the children of the Bai family didn't seem to like Bai Yan very much.
And when talking about Bai Yan, the Bai family's children did not call him by his name, but said "that person".
They were very puzzled at that time.
In Yangcheng, they met Bai Yan and felt that Bai Yan was not only introverted, but also had no airs on others and was gentle to others.
Ask yourself, let alone competing for the throne as a member of the noble clan, even if it were someone else, or if they had Bai Yan's sword skills, they probably wouldn't be able to be as restrained as Bai Yan.
And one thing after another.
General Bai Yu was poisoned, and it was Bai Yan who led them to raid Fuxi Mountain, surrounded and killed the Korean troops who raided the food and baggage supplies, and washed away the humiliation with blood.
Afterwards, it was Bai Yan who led them north to seize the city and use the city to defeat them.
Thinking of that day, Bai Yan didn't have a smile on his face because of the soldiers who died in Fuxi Mountain.
Thinking of that night, when they were sleeping, the young man would add fuel to the fire next to them.
"Father, if you said 'Yan', would it be here?"
A voice sounded, causing the cavalry officer to come back to his senses and turn his head to look.
Then in the eyes of the cavalry soldiers.
Uncle Bai thought of something and slowly stepped forward, cupping his hands and saluting.
"I wonder if there is a person named Bai Yan in the army who is a member of the Bai family?"
Uncle Bai asked softly.
Because they had gone out on business before, Uncle Bai and Bai Ping and his son did not know about Bai Yan's first ascension.
In the eyes of their father and son, Bai Zhong once said that he had written to Bai Yu to make up for Bai Yan. According to Bai Yu's cheerful nature, maybe Bai Yu would take Bai Yan with him, and if there was a chance, he would promote Bai Yan.
Yan.
"have!"
Looking at Uncle Bai's inquiry, the cavalry officer thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
"Thank you!"
After hearing this, Uncle Bai nodded slowly and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Now that Bai Yan is here, Bai Yu has already made up for Bai Yan for the Bai family. After returning to the Bai family in a few days, he can tell Bai Yan and his father Bai Zhong about this matter.
At that time, there will be no need to feel guilty about that young man, and Junzhu can be married to the Meng family or the Li family as soon as possible.
If that young man can stay with Bai Yu, he will have a smooth journey in the future.
"Father, I guessed that he would definitely be here."
Bai Ping said to Uncle Bai with a smile, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Bai Ping didn't notice that the cavalry soldiers looked at him a little differently.
At this time.
The sound of footsteps came from inside the mansion.
Uncle Bai and Bai Ping quickly looked back, and then saw a man in civilian clothes walking out with the soldier who had just reported.
"This is General Chai."
The cavalry officer said to Uncle Bai.
Hearing this, Uncle Bai bowed his hands in front of the firewood.
"Bai Yan, I have met General Chai!"
Uncle Bai saluted.
"Bai Ping, I have met General Chai!"
At this time, Bai Ping also stepped forward and bowed his hands.
"No need to be polite, please!"
Chai returned the gift with his hand, and then invited Uncle Bai and Bai Ping to enter the mansion.
In the courtyard of the mansion.
Chai brought Uncle Bai and Bai Ping to the yard, stopped and turned to look at Uncle Bai and his son.
Uncle Bai and Bai Ping looked at Chai with puzzled faces.
Logically speaking, shouldn't we take them to see Bai Yu now?
"Since you two are members of General Bai Yu's clan, Chai will inform you of the matter."
Chai looked at the two of them and thought for a while.
"General Bai Yu is not at the residence."
Chai said.
Uncle Bai and his son looked puzzled. The cavalry army was in Wanfeng. Why was Bai Yu not there? And since he was not there, why did General Chai in front of him let them enter the mansion again.
Compared with Uncle Bai's doubts, Bai Ping was more disappointed. He thought he could see his uncle here.
"I don't know."
Uncle Bai cupped his hands and looked at Chai. He seemed to feel that Chai had something to tell the father and son, otherwise he would not have brought them here.
"General Bai Yu is in Yangcheng now. He was injured and poisoned and is unconscious."
Chai didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
Now that the father and son are members of the Bai clan, they will naturally not hide the fact that General Bai Yu was injured and poisoned.
"What?"
"Uncle was injured and poisoned?"
Upon hearing Chai's words, both Uncle Bai and Bai Ping's eyes widened and their expressions changed instantly.
At this moment, they wondered if they had heard wrongly.
Bai Yu is in Yangcheng now? He has been injured and poisoned, and is he still unconscious?
In the courtyard.
Chai told the father and son in front of him everything about what happened when he was buried in negative millet.
And when I heard that there were five hundred dead soldiers smearing poison with their swords, the purpose was not to bring food and baggage, but to make money.
Not to mention Uncle Bai, even Bai Ping instantly turned pale.
Both father and son knew that someone wanted to kill Bai Yu!
"Ping'er!"
Uncle Bai breathed rapidly and murmured: "Tomorrow when your city gate opens, I will rush back to Pingyang overnight to tell your grandfather about this and rush to Yangcheng to meet your uncle."
Uncle Bai knew that Bai's current status was entirely supported by Bai Yu alone, and he had to rush to Yangcheng to see Bai Yu immediately.
"I know, father!"
Bai Ping nodded, his eyes full of panic, and his eyes no longer held the proud look just now. He knew clearly what it meant to Bai that his uncle Bai Yu was unconscious due to poisoning.
"General Chai, did Bai Yu give any instructions before he fell into coma?"
Uncle Bai looked at Chai and asked softly.
"have!"
Chai nodded.
Under the gaze of Uncle Bai and Bai Ping, Chai said slowly.
"Before General Bai Yu fell into coma, he asked Bai Yan to rush from Yangcheng to Fuzhou and lead the cavalry army."
