At this time, Empress Dowager Xuan returned. The dagger rested on a bracket.

"Mother......

"Sister......

King Qin and Wei Ran greeted him together.

Empress Dowager Xuan put down the short sword and said: "This matter is quite strange, this Qin Gong sword is the ancestor Qin Wugong's, when Gongzi Bai was exiled to Pingyang Fengyi, this sword disappeared with Gongzi's only son. It is recorded that the mother and son fell into the river and were not rescued, but no one has seen the body, and the palace thinks it is missing. ”

"Childe Bai?" King Qin and Wei Ran didn't know about this secret story of the Qin Palace almost three hundred years ago.

Suddenly, King Qin patted his thigh lightly: "Someone told the widow that the uncle Ying Huai of the clan secretly left Xianyang for more than ten days. ”

Wei Ran looked confused: "It's only been almost three hundred years, what's the benefit of finding Gongzi Bai's descendants." Let's just talk about the clan, I don't know how many people are not as good as a soldier at the moment. ”

Empress Dowager Xuan interjected and said, "Unless this Gongzi Bai's descendants have something very special in the Qin State. ”

Bai Hui looked at Bai Qi, and then looked at King Qin blankly.

Bai Qi didn't know anything, but Bai Hui vaguely remembered that it was mentioned on a forum that Bai Qi's ancestor was not Bai Yibing, let alone Bai Gongsheng, but Gongzi Bai.

Who Gongzi Bai is, Bai Hui has never known.

At this time, Bai Hui understood, but he didn't understand whether he should say it.

After thinking about it again, Bai Hui asked, "What does it mean that Tian Wen gave this short sword to his minister?" ”

Empress Dowager Xuan asked, "He didn't say anything?" ”

Wei Ran also asked, "He didn't say, let you hand over the sword to the Gong clan?" ”

"No, he doesn't ...... anything No, he mentioned. He said that my two brothers, according to his original plan, would listen to him and assassinate the marquis. But there was no need to do that right now, and then it was the dagger and nothing more. I thought it was funny, why did our brother listen to him and assassinate him? ”

After listening to Bai Hui's words, King Qin and Wei Ran glanced at each other, in their opinion, Bai Qi and Bai Hui brothers really could not become assassins, as generals of the Qin army, they had a great future, and Wei Ran was kind to them.

Empress Dowager Xuan said coldly at this time: "What if your two brothers are the descendants of Gongzi Bai?" ”

"Queen Mother, will you?" Bai Hui pretended to be stupid, and then looked at Bai Qi.

Bai Qi doesn't have to act, the confusion on his face is the most perfect portrayal of Bai Qi's mood at this time.

After King Qin and Wei Ran laughed at the same time, King Qin said, "So what? If so, it's interesting to check this generation and see if you two brothers are widowed brothers, or uncles and nephews. ”

Empress Dowager Xuan slapped the table lightly, as if she was about to say something, but she couldn't help it.

Wei Ran said: "Sister, you just want to say that the Gong clan hopes that the two brothers will go further, and after the power is in their hands, they will eliminate our sisters and brothers, so that the Gong clan and the old scholar clan can take back power." Bai Qi, you don't speak, Bai Hui, what do you say? ”

Bai Hui looked thoughtful, and only spoke after a long time: "According to Qin law, the title is promoted by military merit. The clan is looking for us two brothers, what benefits are they going to promise? ”

"That's a good thing, Ben Hou likes to hear it."

If Bai Hui's loyalty is not credible, it is a matter of facts, this is the truth.

Bai Hui added: "Wangshang, half of Hedong County." ”

King Qin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, Bai Hui was reminding him that after their brothers took half of Hedong County, they remembered to promise a good thing, that is, Bai Qi's marriage.

King Qin nodded: "You speak that word well, Chrysostom Yuyan." ”

"Thank you, the king."

King Qin nodded: "Go, leave Xianyang immediately and take the Qin Gong Sword with you." Go and seek the land east of the river for the widows, if anyone looks for you, don't panic, just deal with it. There is no need to report everything, the widow only needs Hedong County. ”

"The minister commands." The two brothers, Bai Qi and Bai Hui, gave salutes at the same time.

Bai Hui took the Qin Wugong short sword handed over by King Qin with both hands, and took three steps back before turning around and leaving with Bai Qi.

After the two brothers left, Wei Ran went to close the door of the palace in person.

Empress Dowager Xuan said: "I can trust these two brothers, but this matter is definitely a big trouble. The Gong clan and the old scholar clan joined forces...... "Empress Dowager Xuan didn't continue, she could feel a huge pressure that was about to come.

King Qin is also thinking, since he ascended the throne, not to mention sitting on the throne, let's just say that Great Qin has been good both internally and externally in recent years.

Wei Ran didn't speak, there was something Wei Ran didn't dare to say.

It is estimated that Ying Fu and Ying Kui are a thorn in the heart of the Gong family, not necessarily themselves.

Empress Dowager Xuan is different from these two, in the heart of Empress Dowager Xuan, the princess will not want her own life, but she will want the lives of her two younger brothers and two sons, and this matter cannot be easily retreated.

Fortunately, the princess chose the wrong one, and Bai Qi is a tendon, which the Empress Dowager Xuan thinks is not wrong.

Bai Hui's shrewdness, Empress Dowager Xuan thinks that she has never met such an excellent person, and if she gives Bai Hui some time and some opportunities, the two generations of Qin State's Xingqin ministers, Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, and Bai Hui can also be compared.

Empress Dowager Xuan thought of this and made a decision: "Your Majesty, if the battle of Hedong is victorious, please give Bai Qi and Bai Hui a heavy reward and give them a heavy responsibility." At the moment, the clan will not look for the two brothers, if the two of them have great power. ”

King Qin nodded: "That's what my son meant. ”

A few days later, Bai Qi and Bai Hui returned to Dingyang County. Bai Hui did not go home first, but went to Xi Qihe's residence.

Compared with Xi Qixi when he married his sister Bai Ziyi, he was very thin at this time, and his face was also very poor. When Bai Hui arrived, he was being fed fish soup by his entourage.

Seeing Bai Hui entering, Xi Qihe's expression changed, and he became extremely happy: "130,000 acres of newly opened fields, 70 miles of newly built canals, 500 miles of small canals, 1,000 waterwheels, millions of acres of dry land have become paddy fields, and the harvest is in both, and the harvest is in both!" ”

Bai Hui didn't praise a word, sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile: "Just like you, you can have another baby with my sister." ”

"Hahaha!" Xi Qihe was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.

This is the man of Daqin, who never takes credit for his hard work, and never shows off his scars.

"Lift up." Bai Hui was not too polite, and asked the guards to prepare a slide rod for the two of them to lift Xi Qihe, and he wanted to go to the villages to take a look in person.

Xiqihe deliberately chose a village, which was called River Valley Village.

After entering the village, there was no one in the village except for a few elderly people.

"Go to the field." Xi Qihe commanded, and immediately someone led the way.

From afar, Bai Hui saw men, women, and children working in the fields.

In particular, there are many children who are also helping their families with farm work, and there is a lot of laughter and laughter in the fields.
