Qin Gong

Chapter 527 That boy is Bai Yan?

In the Linzi Palace, Qi Wangjian was lazily lying on the couch, enjoying the massage of his beloved concubine.

"It's been such a long time for me! I don't want to see my clan brother or the Chu envoy again!"

Qi Wangjian closed his eyes helplessly and said.

"Your Majesty is the King of the Qi Kingdom, and Lord Tian is the minister of the King. Therefore, Lord Tian only cares about the State of Qin, but the Lord is concerned about the people of Qi! It is normal that Lord Tian cannot understand the worries of the King. Now that Qin State asked that Qin General Bai Yan to attack Wei State, everyone thought that it was impossible for Qin State to destroy Wei State within three to five years. They never thought that Qin State General Bai Yan was unexpected. The water flooded the girders. The girder city, which was originally a solid wall in the eyes of everyone, will be unable to hold it in the blink of an eye. It is human nature for Mr. Tian to be anxious. Right now, the king can only be wronged and endure Mr. Tian's painstaking efforts. Let the king be a wise king!"

Concubine Li looked at Qi Wangjian lying on her lap, and said slowly while gently touching Qi Wangjian's acupoints, maybe other concubines heard Qi Wangjian's words, and would let Qi Wangjian think of a way to take Tian Ding away, but in Li Concubine's eyes In the story, Qi Wangjian is a reasonable king, if she said to send Tian Ding away, Qi Wangjian would definitely not agree.

"Aifei~!"

Hearing Concubine Li's words, Qi Wangjian opened his eyes and looked at Concubine Li lovingly, wishing to give all the rare treasures he had to this beauty who knew him well.

After his mother passed away, in the eyes of Qi Wangjian, the only person who really understood him was Concubine Li.

Sigh.

Thinking of Tian Ding, Qi Wangjian is quite old, almost 55 years old, and now he has been tortured by Tian Ding for more than a month, and this feeling makes Qi Wangjian feel uncomfortable at all.

"The literati in Qi State have many talents, and there are also many scholars who assist the government and stabilize the people. Qi has reused them, but it still takes time to strengthen Qi. Compared with Qin State, the famous scholars and Confucian scholars in Qin State are far inferior to Qi State. However, The famous generals are from the Qi State, and the number is hard to catch up. The Wang family, the Li family, the Meng family, and the Yang family, these four families belong to the famous Qin family. When the four clans are getting old and it is difficult for their children to inherit, Qi is already strong and can oppose Qin, never would have thought that another Qin general, Bai Yan, will appear!"

Thinking of Concubine Li's words, Qi Wangjian frowned sullenly.

Mao Jiao and Yao Jia were secretly recruiting scholars in Linzi. How could Qi Wangjian not know about this matter? However, Qi Wangjian didn’t care about scholars. , Even people with great talents are unwilling to serve in Qin Dynasty, Yao Jia and the others will never find any great talents.

Compared with the actions of Yao Jia and Mao Jiao, Qi Wangjian was more concerned about the sudden emergence of a Qin general, Bai Yan.

Originally, in Qi Wangjian's heart, Wang Jian from the Wang family, Li Yao from the Li family, and Yang Duanhe from the Yang family, these three people have entered their twilight years and may die of old age or become seriously ill at any time. Only Meng Wu and Wang Ben were able to take up the big job, but the talents of these two were still difficult to compare with Wang Jian, Li Yao, Yang Duan and these veterans. , are the best opportunities for Qi.

Never thought.

Suddenly a Bai Yan appeared. When Qin attacked Han, he heard his name for the first time. Later, when Qin State went to the county, he became famous all over the world. Li Mu fought against each other, and personally led the troops to stop Li Mu's plan. After Li Mu died, he even surrendered to Zhao Bianqi, deterring all the forces in the north for Qin...

Now the attack on Wei caught everyone in the world off guard. He commanded the Qin army without losing a single soldier, and immediately put Wei in danger of subjugation.

"Hey~! Qin country!"

Thinking of this, Qi Wangjian was full of melancholy. Why are there so many famous generals in Qin, even if the Wang family, Li family, Meng family, and Yang family have faded one after another, this younger and braver Bai Yan will definitely become the leader of the Qin country. pillars.

Sometimes it's not Qi Wangjian's fault, it's Yingzheng's luck, which really makes Qi Wangjian envious.

The state of Qin always has famous generals.

"Report! Report to the king, General Tian Sui outside the palace, and the grandson of Prime Minister Wei Shiyan to see him!"

At this time, an eunuch hurriedly came to the gate, knelt outside the gate and opened his mouth to report.

Concubine Li looked at the gate with a coquettish pretty face, and then at Wangjian Qi who was lying on her lap.

"Zong nephew Tian Sui? Corpse weir? Tell those two people that the widow is ill and will not see you today!!"

As soon as Qi Wangjian heard that it was the grandson of Wei Guo's corpse seeking to see him, he knew that he must come to ask for help. After he was sure that he would not send troops to ask for Wei Guo's aid, Qi Wangjian finally did not have Tian Ding nagging, how could he want to deal with a soon-to-be The corpse of the subjugated people.

"Your Majesty, why don't you see it! After all, the corpse is quite famous among the scholars in the world. If the scholars of Wei State can know the difficulties of the King, they will be able to sympathize with the difficulties of the King in the future. Wei Wei, who hated the Qin State at that time The scholars of the country will definitely come to the Qi country, take refuge in the king, and serve the king!"

Li Fei tried to persuade her at this time.

Hearing this, Qi Wangjian was a little depressed, but looking at the smiling and coquettish Concubine Li, he finally took a deep breath, put aside his pleasure, and decided to meet the two of them.

At this moment, Qi Wangjian could not imagine that Li Fei's mind was filled with Tian Sui, whom she had met several times before.

Although she is afraid of Tian Ding, Concubine Li has to admit to Tian Ding's three sons that they are all very handsome, especially Zhongzi Tian Sui, who looks young and heroic. Even after so long, Concubine Li still knows I remember it in my mind and never forget it.

After a while.

In the inner hall of the palace, Qi Wangjian stared at Tian Sui and Corpse Yan in front of him with disbelief.

"Bai Yan is from Qi???"

Qi Wangjian looked confused. He couldn't be more confused. At this moment, Qi Wangjian kept wondering whether his ears had heard wrongly.

That Bai Yan is actually from Qi! ! !

"Back to the King of Qi, this matter is absolutely true. This is why Yan came here. I hope that the King of Qi can write a letter to call for sages, so that Bai Yan can return to the State of Qi and serve the King of Qi. The king can only add a famous general who is famous all over the world, and the strength of the Qi country will definitely increase greatly at that time!"

Xi Yan raised his hands to Qi Wangjian and said.

Tian Sui was silent at the side, feeling that Concubine Li beside King Qi was staring at him with shrunken eyes, Tian Sui was a little at a loss, if he changed his identity, Tian Sui would naturally be impolite, but right now this person is full of temptation His daughter is the favorite concubine of King Qi.

"Qi Ren! Qi Ren! It's actually Qi Ren..."

When Qi Wangjian heard Shiyan's words, he walked back and forth in the inner hall in a trance, his expression was full of surprise, and it was even mixed with exciting excitement.

"Okay, Tian Sui, can you find out Bai Yan's background? I want to go to his mansion in person, visit him, and ask for a letter from my family!"

At this moment, King Qi Jian no longer had any extra thoughts to pay attention to Concubine Li. Not long ago, King Jiandu of Qi was still envious of Ying Zheng and full of melancholy. The appearance of Qin General Bai Yan made all his previous plans become useless. like water off a duck's back.

But right now, Tian Sui and Shi Yan told him.

That Bai Yan, that Bai Yan who led 15 troops to fight a bloody battle with [-] troops in Gaonu, Shangjun, that famous Qin general Bai Yan who was even defeated in a fight with Li Mu and now flooded the beams, is actually from his Qi country!

How can this not make Qi Wangjian excited and excited!

If Qin State owns Bai Yan, let alone a famous general who can lead troops to fight against Qin State, even Zhao State may have a chance. Either all of them will be included in Qi State, or they will help Zhao State restore. At that time, Qin State sent troops , he Qi Guo would not be so terrified.

"Go back to the king, my father has ordered someone to investigate, and it must be investigated soon!"

When Tian Sui heard Qi Wangjian's question and saw Qi Wangjian's hands rolling up his sleeves, they were trembling with excitement, so he cupped his hands and answered.

"good good good good!!!"

Qi Wangjian kept nodding, and after walking back and forth for a few breaths, he turned his head and looked at Tian Sui eagerly with fiery eyes.

"Go back and tell your clan brother Tian Ding that I will give him full authority to investigate this matter. You must find out the matter and help me recall Bai Yan!"

........................

Tianfu.

In the study, under the leadership of Tian Ding's retinue, the three officials of Qi State came to the study tremblingly, knelt in front of Tian Ding, and kept talking about something under the inquiry of Tian Ding and Tian Cong.

Except for one or two of the officials, petty officials, and soldiers who investigated Zou Xingzhi's death four years ago, they were all transferred to other places, and three of them happened to be transferred to a village near Linzi.

This is also closely related to the reason why Han, Zhao, and Yan were subjugated one after another. A large number of nobles and nobles from other countries, as well as common people, came to Qi State one after another, especially near Linzi, which was the most loved by the nobles. , Linzi, which already has a population of hundreds of thousands, has seen an explosive increase in household registration.

In the past few years in the Tian Mansion, the three huge mansions are not enough to accommodate the rare treasures and boxes of gold that have been sent. From this, it can be seen how many nobles and dignitaries have come.

"What? We are from Tianfu?"

Tian Cong frowned slightly when he heard what the three officials said, and looked at his father full of doubts.

If Tian Cong remembers correctly, their Tian Mansion has never accepted a young boy to enshrine in the mansion.

"My lord, this matter is absolutely true. Four years ago, there was indeed a young man who held Tian's token!"

An official looked at Tian Ding full of fear, for fear that Tian Ding would not believe him.

The other two men also nodded slowly at this time. Although the three of them didn't know exactly what happened at the beginning, they still vaguely remembered afterwards that when they heard their colleagues mention the boy, they had expressions of admiration, but they couldn't help it. He told them other things. After they kept asking, they finally revealed that the man was from the Tian Mansion. He asked less questions, and also mentioned his method of examining corpses. As expected at such a young age, he could become a disciple of the Tian Mansion.

"Father, why don't you immediately order someone to investigate and find out everyone at that time!"

Tian Cong looked at the appearance of the three little officials who really didn't know much, frowned slightly, and turned to his father and said.

Tian Xian was also on the side, looking at the three people with some melancholy.

However, just when Tian Cong and Tian Xian thought that their father would decide to conduct a thorough investigation, they discovered that their father seemed to be remembering something. He looked shocked and looked ahead without blinking, as if he was recalling something.

Seeing this, the two brothers looked at each other in puzzlement, but they also looked at their father patiently.

After a long time.

"There is no need to investigate this matter any further!"

Tian Ding slowly raised his hand, but the shock was still visible on his face.This made Tian Cong and Tian Xian very curious. They didn't understand why their father said there was no need to investigate further, when it was clear that nothing had been investigated yet.

"Take them back."

Tian Ding ordered, after watching the three officials leave with his subordinates, Tian Ding still couldn't hide the astonishment in his eyes, it was hard to believe.

If Tian Ding couldn't remember anything at the beginning, then when he mentioned his youth, Tian's keepsake, and the action of checking the corpse, Tian Ding suddenly thought of something.

Just four years ago, my beloved daughter met a young man outside Linzi City. After his servants went to investigate, they learned that the young man was the son of a farmer. At that time, he ordered his servants to warn the young man to leave Qi State. .

Tian Ding had not seen the young man with his own eyes, and if Tian Ding remembered correctly, the servant had said at the beginning that the young man was a corpse collector.

"Father!"

"Father!!"

Tian Cong and Tian Xian saw their father getting up slowly in a daze, so they quickly followed suit and looked at their father with frowns.

However, Tian Ding did not respond to the calls of the two brothers at all.

In the study room, Tian Ding looked thoughtful and walked slowly. As the insignificant incident four years ago appeared in his mind, Zou Xing, the corpse-collecting boy who approached his daughter, ordered his servants to drive the boy out of Qi. Coincidentally, Zou Xing was murdered by Tian Xian. The three officials said just now that a young man with a token from the Tian Mansion passed by and went to confirm the body...

One thing after another flashed through his mind, Tian Ding's pupils gradually widened, and when the image finally appeared in his mind, it was already in Luoyin City, that handsome and introverted boy, a boy named Bai Yan The young man, wearing the official uniform of the Qin State, led many officials of the State of Qin, waiting at the gate of the city.

Bai Yan! ! ! !

It was the boy who collected the corpse back then! ! !

When Tian Ding thought of this, his whole body was dizzy by this sudden thought, recalling Bai Yan's appearance in the past, Tian Ding's whole body was slightly unstable.

"Father!!"

"Father!!!"

Tian Cong and Tian Xian hurriedly stepped forward. Ever since they were young, they had never seen their father in such a dazed state. For a moment, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and full of worry.

For a long time, in their eyes, their father Tian Ding has always been an upright person, and he is calm in the face of everything. It is the first time that he looks like this now.

With the support of Tian Cong and Tian Xian, Tian Ding panted, and slowly returned to the wooden table to rest.

Tian Ding, who has lived through wind and rain for nearly half his life, smiled wryly at this moment, and slowly closed his eyes.

Outside the study.

Not long after, under the worried eyes of Tian Cong and Tian Xian, some footsteps came. The two brothers looked, and then they saw the little sister who was returning to the mansion followed by the maids and servants.

"Smoke!"

Seeing the little sister Tian Feiyan, both Tian Cong and Tian Xian were relieved. If the little sister didn't come back, they were afraid that they would order a search for her all over the city.

"Yan'er pays homage to his father and two brothers!"

Tian Feiyan came to the study and took care of it obediently. Looking at his father's appearance, Tian Feiyan was a little confused.

At this time, there was the sound of rushing outside the study again. Tian Feiyan turned around and saw a servant hurriedly came to the study to prepare a gift for his father.

"Report to my lord, the investigation in the city has been completed, and the person named Zihuai has been registered in it."

After the servant finished speaking, he held a scroll of bamboo slips in both hands.

Tian Cong stepped forward to take the bamboo slips and gave them to his father Tian Ding. After Tian Xian asked the servants to step back, he looked at his younger sister Tian Feiyan.

"Yan'er, is Bai Yan from Qi, and you and him have known each other for a long time?"

Tian Xian asked softly.

Tian Feiyan pursed his lips, looked at his brother Tian Xian's appearance, nodded slowly, and looked at his brother and father quietly with his eyes.

"Yan'er, why didn't you say this earlier? Do you know how important Bai Yan's identity as a member of Qi is! If you know that Bai Yan is a member of Qi..."

Tian Cong looked at the little girl's appearance, and sighed helplessly, with a bit of blame in his tone.

Tian Ding opened the bamboo slips and looked at the densely packed address records under the same name. When he saw one of them, it was just outside Linzi City, Tian Ding didn't read any more, but looked at his beloved daughter.

"Yan'er, is that Bai Yan the boy who was driven away by his father four years ago?"

Tian Ding asked softly.

Tian Ding couldn't help but look blank at the moment when he thought of the appearance of Bai Yan when he saw him. If this was true, then he had been blaming Mao Jiao in his heart for not telling him that the Qi people were Bai Yan. Look, the person least qualified to blame is probably him.

"Huh? Father..."

Hearing his father's words, Tian Cong and Tian Xian turned their heads in shock. Tian Xian was okay, but full of doubts. How could his father say that he was the one who drove Bai Yan away.

And Tian Cong heard his father's words at this moment, and suddenly remembered something vaguely, but he couldn't remember the specifics.

In the eyes of Tian Ding, Tian Cong, and Tian Xian, Tian Feiyan hesitated, looked at his father Tian Ding, and then nodded.

"Yes!"

Tian Feiyan replied.

A simple word made Tian Ding feel as if all his strength had been emptied in an instant, and he was at the wooden table in a daze.

Bai Yan is really the boy who was driven away by his own orders four years ago!

Thinking of this, Tian Ding felt very complicated.

Especially thinking of Bai Yan's illustrious military exploits for the Qin State, and thinking of Bai Yan alone, he is overwhelming the north, becoming the second person after Li Mu who scares the nomads in the north. It is rumored that Bai Yan's sword is still there Touman stood alone there, and thought that Daliang, the capital of Wei State, which is the strongest in the world today, is the place that Bai Yan will capture without harming a single soldier.

"Four years ago...it was him!!!"

As Tian Cong murmured, looking at his father beside him, he suddenly remembered what happened four years ago. At that time, he was still in the study and heard his father giving instructions to his servants because of his little sister's matter.

At this moment, Tian Cong finally understood why his father looked like that just now, and why he looked so lost behind him.

Not to mention his father Tian Ding, when Tian Cong came to his senses and realized that Bai Yan was the person his father ordered to drive away four years ago, Tian Cong felt ridiculous. However, when he looked at his little sister, Tian Cong Only then did it become clear why the younger sister had known Bai Yan a long time ago.

"Little sister, tell Brother Wei quickly, what's going on?"

In the study room, the only person who didn't know was Tian Xian. At this moment, Tian Xian was like an ant on a hot pot, full of anxiety, but looking at the appearance of his father and elder brother Tian Cong, Tian Xian could only anxiously ask his younger sister.

After watching the younger sister glance at her father, she slowly told what happened four years ago. Tian Xian was dumbfounded when he heard the whole process.

"The boy is Bai Yan?"

Tian Xian opened his mouth and looked at his little sister in confusion. He had never thought that behind the incident of Bai Yan being Qi Ren, such a thing actually happened.

At this moment, Tian Xian turned to look at his father, and finally understood why his father looked like that. His father claimed to have devoted himself to the state of Qi, and worked hard, but now he is attacking Zhao, destroying Wei, and expelling Bai Yan of the Yue family and the Xiongnu for the state of Qin. , it happened that his father drove him out of Qi.

Even Tian Xian couldn't imagine how his father would report this matter to King Qi.

Tell the King of Qi that Bai Yan is the person whose father drove him out of Qi State four years ago!

"Little sister, can I take my brother to that water village tomorrow?"

Tian Xian turned his head and looked at his younger sister Tian Feiyan. He still wanted to know where Bai Yan, who rescued him back then, lived in Qi State. After all, he wanted to lobby Bai Yan, so he had to understand something. The younger sister said that she was a corpse collector, it must be very bitter.

As for coercion and the like, Tian Xian knew that with his younger sister's intelligence, he would not worry that he or other elder brothers would have such an idea.

Not to mention that they and King Qi are now trying to recruit Bai Yan to serve in Qi, not to force him to return to Qi.

It just failed to recruit him. Because he had gone to Yingchuan and Zhong brother Tian Sui had gone to Zhongmou to assassinate Ying Zheng, their Tian family was destined not to have a stalemate with Bai Yan.

No matter he, his father, or the other two elder brothers, they will not choose to take the lives of all the clansmen to fight Bai Yanyu to the death. Their Tianfu wants to resist Qin, and the object of hostility has always been Qin, not Bai. Yan was a man, not to mention that Bai Yan had saved his life and his elder brother Tian Sui's life. When his father went to Xianyang, Bai Yan never mentioned this matter in front of Ying Zheng.

And the king of Qi is still hesitant. Before the king of Qi orders to attack the Qin army, the Tian mansion will never allow the handle to be caught by the officials in the court of the state of Qi, the prime minister Hou Sheng and others who were bribed by the state of Qin...

Everything is decided, their Tianfu will not touch Bai Yan's family.

"it is good!"

When Tian Feiyan heard what his elder brother Tian Xian said, he curled his lips, thinking of the villagers in the water village, thinking of those ridicules, elder brother went to see, what's so interesting.

However, looking at his father's appearance, Tian Feiyan was not in a hurry to tell his brother Bai Yan that his leg was broken by Tian Jia. He asked his brother Tian Xian to see him tomorrow and went to his father to tell him.
