Chapter 19: Leaving the Teacher
When Sai Qian and Zhang Qi saw Bai Li Yan, Bai Li Yan was riding on He Kuan's head, Wang Rui was entangled around He Kuan, and when Zhang Qi and Sai Qian arrived, He Kuan stepped forward with Bai Li Yan:
"Zhang Envoy, look at ......"
He Kuan said helplessly, Zhang Qi saw Wang Rui's appearance for the first time, and the shock and worry in his heart can be imagined, and he finally understood Wang Shuo's "far-sightedness", and the ugly thing really can't be publicized.
I had only heard that Wang Rui had gall and was a little stupid, but I never thought that my face was swollen like a pig's head and her neck was as fat as a thigh, which was simply humiliating Qiguo. Although the wood was already in the boat, Zhang Qi could only endure it and couldn't have a seizure in his face.
After calming down for a moment, Zhang Qi and He Kuan said:
"What's in charge, this is the royal guest Saiqian, I heard that he had a relationship with the prince before."
"That's true." He Kuan affirmed, looked at Sai Qian at the next moment, and asked busily: "I don't know what Your Excellency is doing here." ”
Sai Qian completely ignored He Kuan, and his eyes fell on Bai Liyan:
"I was entrusted by my friends to repay the kindness of Master Liu Barley back then, but I don't know if the prince is willing to admit it."
Although Sai Qian did not say anything, Zhang Qi and He Kuan understood that Sai Qian's intention was already obvious, and he wanted to accept Baili Yan as an anonymous disciple. Hearing this, Zhang Qi hurriedly refused:
"My family is frail and sickly, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to admit the great grace of the royal guest, whether Your Excellency will go to Qiguo another day and discuss this matter with my king."
"I am asking His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you have to do with the disagreement!"
Sai Qian rejected Zhang Qi and asked Bai Liyan directly:
"The son of the world is willing to admit his feelings!"
Baili Yan's eyes rolled, weighed the pros and cons, and decided to take a gamble.
If nothing else, Sai Qian is the door god town, and someone can block it in front. Take a step back and say, I have no power to tie the chicken, wait a few more years, Uncle Kuo, the old thief, doesn't know what evil thoughts to move, since Sai Qian is uninvited, it is better to push the boat with the water.
Although I don't know what Sai Qian's purpose is, at least most of them are tendons, and there are very few people who are greedy for fame and fortune. Thinking of this, Bai Liyan excused himself and said:
"Sai Qian, quickly help me get rid of Miss Wang Rui, this son is grateful."
When Sai Qian heard the news, he immediately remembered that Wu Shu had explained before leaving. At that time, Wu Shu once said that Bailiyan was smart, no matter what he answered, as long as Bailiyan did not refuse, it would be an acknowledgement. Thinking of this, Sai Qian said:
"The prince agreed!"
"This son of the world is willing to accept it, Master Saiqian is willing to help me quickly."
Just when Baili Yan was in love, Wang Shuo, Wang Li, father and son quietly arrived, and when they heard that Baili Yan had lost his daughter, the unhappiness on his face could be imagined. As a father, Wang Shuo certainly doesn't want his daughter to be sick like this, and it is understandable that Bailiyan is ugly. So Wang Shuo didn't have a seizure on his face, and he also stopped Wang Li from scolding Bailiyan.
Baili Yan should go down to Saiqian, and Saiqian wanted to perform a great gift to the teacher, so He Kuan prepared a pig's head sacrifice. Privately, Zhang Qi and He Kuan said:
"Why did he indulge the prince of the world to worship Saiqian as a teacher just now, wouldn't this cause great trouble."
Zhang Qi was worried, and He Kuan was puzzled and hurriedly asked:
"What does Zhang mean, please make it clear."
"Hi...... The son of the world is fine, and the misfortune comes from the sky, if Bai Saiqian is the teacher, what does Uncle Xiangguo think. One day, if the son of the world is strong, will he not get rid of it? Take a step back, now my king's holy body is declining, and Gongzi Law will inherit the unification sooner or later, if there is a strong royal brother who is held hostage in the Jin Kingdom, what does Gongzi Law think, so will he not push the second son into the fire pit. ”
Zhang Qi knew that if Bailiyan worshipped Saiqian as a teacher, once Baililu succeeded to the throne in the future, there was such a strong younger brother as a hostage in the Jin State, what if he borrowed the soldiers of the Jin State and killed him back from the sea to seize the throne, Baililu wouldn't have planned earlier and sent someone to kill Gongziyan.
At the same time, if Uncle Kuo knows, Bailiyan will be brave in the future, either he will be strangled early, or he will take Bailiyan as an opportunity to hijack Bailiyan and kill back to Qiguo, no matter which one it is, Bailiyan will not end well, which is why Zhang Qi refused to kill Saiqian.
However, Zhang Qi only knows one and does not know the other, since Wu Shu plans to help Bailiyan, it must be planned, and no one can know what the situation will be in four or five years. Similarly, if Uncle Kuo knew that Baili Yan was a teacher, it would be another idea.
In the afternoon of the day when Baili Yan finished the apprenticeship ceremony and Wang Shuo returned home with his children, the news that Baili Yan worshiped Saiqian as a teacher spread far and wide and entered the palace of King Jin, and King Jin was very unhappy when he heard the news:
"Xiangguo, you tell the widow what he wants, why he should accept the feelings of others."
"This ...... According to the old minister's knowledge, Qiguo did save Liu Barley back then, but it is strange to say, why many years later, Liu Barley's son Tuo Saiqian showed grace to Bailiyan, which is what the old minister is incomprehensible. ”
That Xiangguo thought that how to deal with this matter. If the wings of the child's swallow are hard, how can they be used by widows in the future. ”
"Don't worry, the king still needs to send someone to investigate, Sai Qian will never innocently show grace to Bailiyan. However, there is one thing that the king can be relieved, Gongzi Yansheng suffers from chest paralysis and blood depression, and he can't fight fiercely, if Sai Qian teaches martial arts, won't it be ...... for a long time?"
Hearing this, King Jin's expression lit up:
"Xiangguo is talking about sudden death!"
"Exactly, if the proton of Qiguo dies because of Saiqian and spreads out, the royal guest will be responsible for my Jin Kingdom. In the future, if the king cannot attack the city, he can slaughter it, and the royal guests will not be able to do anything about me. Just because Gongzi Yan died in my Jin Kingdom because of Saiqian, then my king can use this excuse to block the mouth of the royal guest. ”
Jiang is still old and spicy, Uncle Kuo calculated that Bailiyan has a heart attack and can't do intense exercise, in case Sai Qian's teaching is too intense and Bailiyan dies, it will become the black news of Yuke, and the handle will fall into the hands of Jin Guo. Jin Guo is going to do something out of the ordinary in the future, and there is no reason for Yuke to interfere, because it was Yuke who was wrong first, and killed the proton of Qiguo, which is Gongshu Kuo's plan.
To say that Uncle Kuo's plan is not exquisite, but he doesn't know that this Baili Yan is no longer the Baili Yan of the past, and Uncle Kuo's plan is refined, and there is no way to return to the sky. What's more, many years later, he is already a dying old man, and in the twilight of the sunset, he has more than enough heart but not enough strength.
Soon after Baili Yan Bai Saiqian became a teacher, the Jin State entered the secret preparation for war, and with the help of Wu Suan, the master of the Ligong faction, a large number of ships were built, and the Jin State took the lead in opening the great prelude to the Central Plains War!
Years later......
Time blink of an eye to 621 years of Shengyuan, this year Baili Yan was fifteen years old, it was the sixth year of Bai Saiqian as a teacher, the Central Plains had a hundred years without a major drought, the drought affected the six countries of Jin, Zhi, Xian, Xu, Sun, the northern land of the Jin Kingdom was not spared, the drought continued to develop until the beginning of August, the rice fields of various countries were not harvested, and the losses of the Jin State were particularly miserable.
The Jin Kingdom is located in the warm and humid monsoon land of the East China Sea, more than 60% of the country's arable land, the rice planted is once a year, and then wheat is planted in winter, and the other small part is double-cropped rice, as well as the vast grassland and grassland in the south, because the land of the Jin Kingdom is fertile, sitting on the vast plain, the grain production in the entire Central Plains is considerable.
However, this year, the drought lasted until August, and 50 percent of the grain fields were out of production, 30 percent of the grain fields failed to harvest, and only 20 percent of the land yielded the same amount of grain.
At the same time, the northwest neighbor of the Jin State, Xianguo, changed the law, suffered a setback due to drought, and the "Nongsang Order" promoted by Sun Yue, the prime minister of the Xian State, was aborted, and the Xianguo fell into a food shortage.
On this day, the scorching heat was unbearable, the Qiguo Proton Mansion was full of green trees, and many jujube trees were so sunburned that they were drooping with green leaves, and they looked like they were dying, and Baili Yan was busy going out with a medicine box.
A splendid little woman stood under the jujube tree and said softly:
"Brother Yanzi, go early and come back early."
"Well, Miss Rui'er will go back first, and my son will go back when she goes."
The woman who spoke was none other than Miss Wang Rui, whose face was swollen like a pig.
To say that Bailiyan is also a blessing in disguise, six years have passed, this Wang Rui girl has been slim, compared to the stupid little woman six years ago, today's Wang Rui has been judged like two.
In fact, Wang Rui's disease is simple to treat, as long as iodine supplementation is enough. After years of conditioning for Baili Yan, insisting on intaking sea salt, milk and eggs, and eating a few dates a day, the iodine deficiency situation was quickly improved. In addition, the development is at the right time, and the intelligence problem is not very big now.
For this reason, Bailiyan asked people to move a few jujube trees from outside the city and plant them in the house, and every time there is a good harvest, they will make some candied fruit and leave it for Wang Rui to satisfy his hunger.
Walking on the street road, He Kuan was old, he was still lame back then, and now he can only barely follow with a cane made of Bailiyan:
"His Royal Highness, why did you go to Lu Kui's Mansion today, wouldn't it damage your identity as the prince."
"Hey, Uncle He, you don't know, I have a request for him, otherwise I can go out in person. His son had a mouth sore that could not be cured for a long time, and he also asked someone to call for a palace doctor, but it was not good, and I went to cure him. If you didn't listen to me last time, you have to make him suffer some time today. ”
"I don't know what the son of the world wants, why doesn't the old man know."
"It's not my master, Lu Kui is a grain merchant, my master's hometown has no harvest, I want Lu Kui to ask someone to help one or two, he Lu Kui has a long hand, and the business channel is accessible, as long as he sends some grain and rice to Juyang City and lowers the price, it can be regarded as accumulating virtue."
Sai Qian was originally a person from Juyang City in Sun Kingdom, and Juyang was in a bad drought, and the old family sent someone to send a quick letter to ask Sai Qian to help as soon as possible, otherwise the family would starve to death.
In those years, the land was in the hands of the monarch and the elite class, and the common people had no private land, only the right to farm and rent land.
In the event of drought and flooding, most people will not survive the beginning of next spring. In addition, the current disaster relief system of the princes of various countries is not perfect and the intensity is insufficient, and the people are struggling to make a living under the drought.
After receiving the letter, Saiqian immediately took away 200 inches of silver, 5 inches of gold, and 1,000 copper coins from the Jin Kingdom, bought rice from the Jin Kingdom, and took a boat to the Sun Kingdom. If you go by land, you don't wait for the food to arrive, you have to spend it on the people.
In order not to let her master be too cold, Bai Liyan had to go to see Lu Kui's son in person.
Lu Kui is a wealthy merchant in Pingtang City, he has grain and a ship in his hand, so it is not difficult for him to get a few large boats of rice and transport it to Sun Guojuyang, the difficult thing is that Lu Kui is not a thing, the dog looks down on people, and what he says is not good, he is a rich nouveau riche.
