Chapter 37: Seeing Through

Lantian City.

Bai Yan entered the city and looked at the scene of pedestrians on the street in front of him, and was a little surprised.

The Qin State has always emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, although Bai Yan knew that the suppression of business meant ordinary people. There were countless merchants in the Qin State.

But Bai Yan had always thought that the rich merchants were mostly in Shu and Xianyang.

I didn't expect to see a bustling scene in Lantian City.

Bai Yan looked at the old man Yu in front of him as he walked.

Because there were too many people on the street, and a carriage passed by from time to time, along the way, Bai Yan also walked very slowly.

Bai Yan walked and walked, and when he was observing whether there were any Lu shops, he found that there were many restaurants in Lantian City. It even made him feel a bit like he was in Linzi in Qi State.

You must know that Linzi of Qi is the capital of Qi State. Commerce was extremely prosperous, and during the period when the queen assisted the king of Qi, the people took cockfighting for fun, and the nobles of the scholar clan were even more obsessed with horse racing and restaurant women.

From the time of the reign of the queen to the present day. Not only Linzi, but all the cities and thousands of restaurants in the entire Qi country are in the hands of the Qi royal family.

But unlike Linzi, this Lantian City is just a city near Daying.

In terms of status, in the Qin State, not to mention Xianyang and Yongcheng, even Jingyang, Liyang, Shudi and other big cities, all crushed Lantian.

But there are so many restaurants here in Lantian.

"You kid is waiting outside!"

Old Pawn Yu came to a shop, said to Bai Yan, and then turned around and approached the shop.

Bai Yan raised his head and looked at the two big Qin characters on the shop in amazement: wine shop.

"Yu Bu is here to buy wine again!"

"I'm afraid that all his young men will be given to this wine shop."

"What if you don't drink, this is not even a poor person."

When the two men passed by, they saw this scene and whispered.

Bai Yan turned his head and looked at the two men, obviously both men knew General Yu, and it was not the first time that they saw General Yu come here to buy wine.

Thinking of this, Bai Yan couldn't help but be curious. The teacher once told him that the Qin State valued grain very much because of the war between the states. Qin law even stipulates that the grain of ordinary people cannot be used to make wine.

This wine shop, obviously, has an unusual background!

I heard that the two men just now once said that General Yu is a poor man?

Why do they say that?

"Let's go! Brat. ”

When Bai Yan came back to his senses, Old Man Yu had already walked out of the wine shop, with a bulging thing hanging from his waist.

Bai Yan knew that it should be a wine jug inside.

"Hmm!"

Bai Yan didn't say anything, and looked at General Yu walking in front, very puzzled.

In broad daylight, General Yu dared to come to the wine shop here to buy wine, and it seemed that he was ready to bring it back to the Lantian camp.

General Yu is not afraid of being punished?

On the way back.

Old man Yu glanced at the restaurants.

"If you kid is not short of money, you can take others to the restaurant for recreation after Shen Shi's practice, and you don't have to worry about punishment."

Old Man Yu said as he walked.

Hear the words.

Bai Yan, who was walking behind, really couldn't understand why Old Man Yu wanted to say this.

even asked him to take the initiative to bring others to Lantian City after sunset, and go to these restaurants to drink, don't worry about punishment.

Not knowing what General Yu meant, Bai Yan didn't speak, but continued to follow behind, listening as he walked.

When Bai Yan was puzzled, he suddenly heard General Yu who was walking in front and spoke.

"Although Liang Lang is impatient, he is a person without scheming. If you want to be the first to be the first to go in the future, he will be a great help to you. ”

In one sentence, Bai Yan was stunned and looked at General Yu's back.

Old Man Yu looked at the pedestrians walking by, missing behind him from his shoulder, a little puzzled.

Old Man Yu turned around, and then saw Bai Yan looking at him stupidly.

Looked at.

Old Man Yu's slightly old face couldn't help but smile proudly.

"Boy, let's go."

After speaking, Old Man Yu turned around and continued to walk in the direction of the city gate.

Old man Yu walked and walked, and after a while, he heard the voice of the young man behind him.

"How does the general know?"

Listening to the young man's inquiry behind him, a smile appeared in Old Brother Yu's eyes.

He spent most of his life in the camp, and he brought countless new pawns.

At first, when I saw the boy wearing armor, the boy was still surnamed Bai. Or have doubts, if you are greedy for life, why do you want to enlist in the army when you know that you have no lord.

But then when the boy gave him the wooden card, he saw the calluses in the boy's hands, and he immediately knew why the boy was wearing armor.

He concluded that, unlike the other soldiers, this boy surnamed Bai was here to play with his life!

Otherwise, with that callus alone, the boy would not need armor at all.

Generally speaking, for people who practice martial arts, the better the martial arts, the less they like to be bound.

This kid surnamed Bai is not only wearing armor, but even adding protection to his hands and feet, others may not be able to see it, but he is different, he knows that such preparations must be plotting.

Warring?

No, when the two countries are at war, there are thousands of troops and horses, and if they lose their position, the thicker the armor, the easier it is to become a burden.

All that remains is a siege.

And what can be worthy of the young man's effort and preparation is only the first achievement of the siege of the city, the first to ascend.

Bai Yan had been waiting for Old Pawn Yu's answer, but he didn't think that when he walked to the city gate, he didn't see Elder Yu make a sound, so he couldn't help but pout.

Old Man Yu didn't pay any attention to Bai Yan anymore, and walked on his own.

A moment later, outside the city gates.

One old and one young, walked towards the Lantian camp.

......

Inside the Lantian camp.

"Bai Yan, where have you been?"

Jue looked at Bai Yan with a puzzled expression, why he hadn't seen Bai Yan since the morning.

"I went to Lantian City with General Yu."

Bai Yan said with a smile.

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and his eyes widen.

"General Yu asked you to go to Lantian City with him?"

Ju was full of curiosity, it was the first time he had heard that when the general went out, he would actually take people with him.

Bai Yan shook his head, he didn't understand either.

However, Bai Yan guessed that General Yu might have seen his purpose, so he kindly reminded him.

Whether it was because of Bai's reminder, Bai Yan didn't know.

Jue looked at Bai Yan and didn't understand, so he didn't ask any more.

"Bai Yan, this is the sword, and the leather armor."

After following Bai Yan to the camp tent, he pointed to the stacked leather armor and the Qin Jian placed on the leather armor, and said to Bai Yan.

Just then sent a sword and armor. Bai Yan was not there, so he put Bai Yan in the tent.

"Thank you!"

The white eyes were full of gratitude and said to Jue, Jue is here, there are few people who have not looked at him with 'eyes'.

"Your luck is not bad, it's a two-handed sword."

Jue said to Bai Yan, although most of them are also two-handed swords.

But I heard that there are some people who still get one-handed swords and can only hold the hilt with one hand.

Qiang~!

Bai Yan picked up the Qin sword and then pulled it out, accompanied by the sound of the blade unsheathed.

Bai Yanzai carefully looked at the smooth and shiny blade of the Qin sword in his hand, and saw that it was still engraved with the name of the caster who created this Qin sword.

"Good sword!"

Bai Yan muttered.

Previously, when he was in the Qi Kingdom, he had always heard that Qin Jian was similar to the 'Six Qi', but different from the 'Six Qi'.

Qin Jian's forging technology, in today's world, far surpasses other countries, and the proportion of forging materials is unknown.

The name on Qin Jian is the name of "the name of the person in order to test its sincerity" in the Qin law!

Jue felt that when Bai Yan was holding the sword, the eyes that looked at the sword seemed to be a little different from usual.

Maybe it was an illusion, but Jue didn't think much about it.

Bai Yan put away the Qin sword, and then put on the armor instead of putting on the leather armor.

"Why don't you wear leather armor, it's a lot tiring to pass on the armor drill!"

Jue looked at Bai Yan in surprise, and didn't understand how Bai Yan could put on heavier armor without wearing a good leather armor.
