Uncle Bai looked at the young man in front of him and said nothing. He naturally knew why the young man wanted his military exploits to be recorded in the bamboo slips.
Uncle Bai couldn't help but feel lucky that on that Pingyang day, the boy was given the surname Bai, otherwise Bai Yu would have been poisoned and passed out. In the eyes of outsiders, there would be no one with the surname Bai in the imperial army.
In fact, he wanted to say a lot, but in the end, Uncle Bai was too embarrassed to say a word. People always want to save face. In the past, they treated the young man like that in the Bai family's mansion. Now, the young man has conquered the city and made meritorious deeds. If he does not remember the past contempt, he has lost his character.
Excellent.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, he is the elder of the young man, he himself knows the truth.
So after talking for a while, Uncle Bai said his goodbyes.
"General Chai, we will go south tomorrow. Bai Yan will take his leave first~!"
Uncle Bai bowed his hands to the firewood and prepared to go back first. He asked Bai Ping to return to Pingyang and bring some words to his father Bai Zhong.
Chai faced Uncle Bai and returned the courtesy.
Then Uncle Bai and Bai Yan bowed to each other.
Bai Ping also followed suit and saluted, but when he saluted Bai Yan, the shame in his eyes was hard to conceal.
In the courtyard.
Chai looked at the backs of Uncle Bai and his son leaving, and then looked at Bai Yan.
"Yan, I really can't figure out what the Bai clan thinks and why General Bai Yu values you so much while the other Bai clan members do."
Chai said softly, his expression getting weirder the more he spoke.
In Chai's eyes.
In the past, General Bai Yu would go out of his way to look for Bai Yan when he learned that Bai Yan was in Lantian.
According to what those soldiers who had been to Pingyang said, Chai felt that if it were any other Bai clan member, they might not pay attention to Bai Yan at all and let him fend for himself.
Not to mention what happens next.
"Maybe one day, you will know!"
Bai Yan looked at Chai and chuckled lightly without explaining anything.
After the Qin State destroys the six kingdoms, perhaps one day, when Chai understands his true identity, he will understand.
As for Bai Yu.
Bai Yan also knew that Bai Yu treated him well from beginning to end, whether he was trying to make amends or otherwise.
"Okay, I'll wait for that day!"
Chai laughed.
Since Bai Yan didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask any more questions, and listening to Bai Yan's words, it seemed that he would naturally know about it in the future.
Chai felt that maybe he was not a member of the noble clan, so he didn't understand some things.
But Chai Ke knew that Bai Yan could make great achievements at such a young age, and he might have a chance in the future to be given a higher title than General Bai Yu.
However, this opportunity should come only during the war with Zhao State in the future.
Think of this.
Chai felt a little melancholy, looking at the night sky.
"Yan, how long do you think Qin and Zhao will continue to fight in the future? How many decades?"
Chai asked.
Bai Yan looked at Chai.
At this time, Bai Yan remembered that although he knew that the Qin State would definitely destroy the Six Kingdoms in the future, for the people of the world and for Chai, the Qin State had no ability to destroy the Six Kingdoms at the moment. Zhao Guo and Li Mu alone had killed and injured no less than three people in the Qin State.
One hundred thousand, he attacked with a large army four times and was defeated.
"I don't know, maybe it won't be that long."
Bai Yan said softly.
Bai Yan knew that in Chai's eyes, everything in the future was unknown, but he could only take one step at a time.
"Um?"
Chai looked at Bai Yan doubtfully. What he meant when he said decades was to wait for Li Mu to die.
Bai Yan smiled and didn't explain anything.
After saying goodbye to Chai.
Bai Yan returned to the room. The maid had already lit candles in the room.
Bai Yan took off his armor and Qin sword, took out four city guard seals and a general seal from his arms, then came to the table and opened a roll of bamboo slips.
Thinking back to today, the more than 5,000 Korean soldiers in Luzuo Mountain, or the more than 5,000 farming men in Xingyang, did not put down their swords and long swords to break out. He personally ordered them to be shot with arrows.
Just like when he spent the night in Sishui River, Bai Yan felt that everything was changing him. This was something he had never thought about before coming to Qin.
Just like Chai Chai asked just now.
suddenly.
It was also the first time that Bai Yan felt lonely and wanted someone to listen to him and talk to him.
But let alone Chai, even if he returns to Qin in the future, he will not be able to find anyone to talk to.
Because his false identity is destined not to be known to others, otherwise there will be constant trouble in the future.
Right now, my family is thousands of miles away and not around.
Bai Yan can only write Qi characters to remind himself that he is still the same boy as before.
And it was while writing the bamboo slips that he felt that he was not alone.
Because looking at the bamboo slips, he knew that there was a woman waiting for him in his hometown thousands of miles away.
The night outside the window shows a bright moon in the sky.
Bai Yan, who was sitting on his knees in front of his desk, carefully wrote down the character "Qi" one by one on the bamboo slips.
The second day.
It was just getting dark when Bai Yan woke up from the bed.
The maid in the mansion knew that Bai Yan and others were leaving today, so she had already prepared breakfast.
After knowing that Bai Yan had woken up, a maid carried a basin and a maid carried breakfast, entered the room and placed them on the table.
Bai Yan washed his face, ate his breakfast in a hurry, then put on his armor and put on his Qin sword.
Outside Wanfeng City.
Bai's cavalry army has all been assembled.
Uncle Bai and his son Bai Ping also walked out of the city when the city gate opened.
Bai Ping rushed back to Pingyang, Qin State, and informed the Bai family of the matter.
Uncle Bai is rushing to Yangcheng to visit Bai Yu.
"Father, my son will rush back to Qin first."
Bai Ping said to Uncle Bai.
Looking around at the soldiers with armor-piercing swords and war horses equipped with crossbows, and at the countless cavalry troops under the black banner with the word "Qin" in front of him, Bai Ping knew that his uncle was leading this army in the past.
The cavalry army supports the Bai family's position.
Now my uncle Bai Yu has been poisoned and is in coma. Fortunately.
Bai Ping felt very complicated.
Regardless of whether the young man can make enough contributions to be promoted and become the commander of this cavalry army, he must inform his grandfather about what is going on here as soon as possible.
It would be better if that young man became the commander of the cavalry army.
If not, my grandfather can arrange it as soon as possible, and the Bai family's status will definitely be severely damaged.
"Well, remember what you said as a father!"
Uncle Bai told him that the matter should be urgent, and the sooner Bai Ping could arrive at Yangcheng, the better.
Bai Ping nodded, then rode a horse towards Qin.
At the city gate.
Bai Yan, Chai and other generals followed Feng Wen out of the city gate.
"General Feng, Bai Yan will go south first."
When he arrived outside the city, Bai Yan reined in his horse, then raised his hands to Feng Wen and said.
"good!"
Feng Wen handed over his hand.
After Feng Wen's death, Feng Wen's cronies Qiu Qiu and Kui Chi, like Feng Wen, all retreated to Han Jia.
Even all the Korean soldiers behind them from yesterday were the same, taking off their Korean armor and wearing civilian clothes.
Now that they have surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, they are just waiting for Bai Yan to arrive in the new city and inform Xianyang of what happened here, and then Nanyang will send Qin official clothes to them.
Bai Yan nodded, then rode his war horse to Uncle Bai and said goodbye to him.
After saying goodbye, under Uncle Bai's complicated eyes, Bai Yan and Chai led the cavalry army and rode towards the new city.
