Inside the mansion of Yangcheng.

Sima Xing was in the study, looking at the map, as if he wanted to see through the map where it was more advantageous for Chu and Zhao to send troops, which could have a joint impact on the entire situation.

Footsteps are heard behind you.

As soon as Sima Xing turned his head, he saw that Bai Yan had already entered the study.

"Bai Yan, I've seen General Sima!"

Bai Yan said to Sima Xing.

After leaving the Lu family's shop, he went directly back to the mansion to meet Sima Xing.

"You kid."

Sima Xing looked at Bai Yan and scolded with a smile.

Last time, I said goodbye to the young man in front of me, and the young man was the first to arrive, and in the blink of an eye, the young man was in danger, and his act of leading the troops should be the eyes of the world.

Some people were worried about Bai Yu's existence, and after the Qin State destroyed Han, Zhao Wei was in danger, so he sought his life with death.

But I never thought about it.

Bai Yu was injured, but a younger Bai Yan appeared.

"Before your uncle left, he was sober for a while, and let me tell you to return to the Bai family more often in the future."

Sima Xing said to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan came back with the guard who escorted the grain and grass, but he couldn't catch up, but Bai Yu also came to his senses for a while before going back, and after learning about Bai Yan, he asked him to tell Bai Yan to return to the Bai family more in the future.

He asked Bai Yu, Bai Yan's kid had just made a great contribution, why Bai Yu didn't say anything else before leaving, but said this inconsequential sentence.

Bai Yan is a disciple of the Bai family, where can he go if he doesn't go back to the Bai family!

It's just that if you are unhappy in the Bai family, you just don't go back to the Bai family, how can you not return to the Bai family.

"Hmm!"

Bai Yan nodded.

Bai Yan could understand the meaning of this sentence, since he had promised Bai Yu to go to the Bai clan before, he naturally would not break his word.

Besides, Bai Yu treated him very well, and now that he has been poisoned and returned to Qin, if he has leisure in the future, he may naturally go to visit, otherwise it seems that he has crossed the river and demolished the bridge.

Just like the reason why the marriage was canceled in the past, he didn't want to feel guilty about the Bai family, so he canceled the marriage.

Now that Bai Yu is poisoned, he will naturally go to see Bai Yu if he has a chance.

"This is Ling Changbo, sent to you from Wancheng, I wanted to congratulate you on winning the first place and making the first contribution, but now I just happened to meet you and won the great merit."

Sima Xing took down a Qin sword that was dark all over, but gave people a delicate and majestic feeling, and then handed it to Bai Yan.

"Huh?"

When Bai Yan heard this, he looked puzzled.

Changbo!

Soon, Bai Yan suddenly thought that when he was in the Lantian camp, he saw Sima Xing for the first time, and Sima Xing said that his middle brother Sima Chang would be the chief iron official in Wancheng.

Seeing Sima Xing hand over the Qin sword to himself, after Bai Yan took it, he, who had been holding the sword all the year round, felt that the weight of this Qin sword was different from that of ordinary Qin swords the moment he held the sword.

Iron Sword!!

Accompanied by the thought that came to mind.

Bai Yan stretched out his hand and stroked the exquisite lines on it, then held the piece in one hand and drew the sword in the other.

Qiang~!

With the sword blade unsheathed, Bai Yan could clearly see that the blade was extremely sharp, and on the sword body, along with the crossed lines, the word 'Bai Yan' was also engraved.

Bai Yan knew that the main iron official was only in charge of iron refining, and if he forged a sword privately, he would need to pay for it himself.

And Bai Yan could feel that this sword was from the master's hand.

Obviously, Sima Chang, who had never met before, really spent his heart and soul for this sword.

"Thank you!"

After Bai Yan put the sword into the scabbard, he whispered to Sima Xing.

Today, most of the soldiers of the Qin State are mainly bronze swords, and the number of iron swords is extremely rare, and most of them are equipped with elite soldiers.

Although the forging of bronze swords is perfect, hundreds of years ago, there were many famous swords such as Yue Wang Goujian Sword, Zhan Lu, Gan Jiang, Mo Ye and so on, but those were all from the hands of masters.

The ordinary bronze sword is still inferior to the exquisite iron sword, even if the bronze sword of the Qin State has the help of the Mo family, it is far superior to other countries.

Before the Qin State captured Wancheng, Wancheng belonged to the Chu State.

The more Wu is destroyed, the more Chu is destroyed, so the Chu State has its Wu Yue's exquisite sword refining skills.

In the past, King Qin Zhaoxiang once sighed: The iron sword of Chu is sharp, and the singing and dancing skills are clumsy.

It can make King Qin Zhaoxiang's eyes red, so he sighed, you can imagine how precious an iron sword is in the eyes of the world.

Not to mention, this time, Sima Chang still invited a master to forge this sword.

"The Bai family and the Sima family are originally families, so why thank you."

Sima Xing looked at Bai Yan and laughed softly.

Because Bai Yan had left bamboo slips before, Fang Caichai would also pass by and talk to him in detail.

Sima Xing didn't ask Bai Yan anything again.

Thinking of Bai Yan's great achievements this time.

"Your credit this time is not small, but Feng Wen took the initiative to surrender, and Wancheng has most of his credit. Guangwu and Xingyang also have half of Feng Wen's merits, and whether they can make an exception and be promoted depends on the current king. ”

Sima Xing watched Bai Yan put away Qin Jian and said softly.

To make an exception is to exceed the three lords.

And based on the twenty lords of Qin Law, Bai Yan is promoted to the third lord, and he can only go from doctor to public passenger.

Exceptions are unlikely.

If there is no Feng Wen and Bai Yan wins the four cities alone, then it may be possible to break the three lords.

And because of Feng Wen's reasons, there are only Fuxi Mountain and Cheng Gao, all of which are Bai Yan's credit.

To protect the grain and grass, Han will Han Qiu's head, plus the back to the north, Wancheng, Guangwu, Xingyang, these add up, Bai Yansheng is enough for the three lords.

But making an exception to be promoted may be a little closer.

"Bai Yan knows!"

Bai Yan said softly, there is no surprise that he cannot make an exception to be promoted, this is all expected.

"But you don't have to worry anymore, Iron Cavalry. Bai Yu thought the same as I thought, now that you have made great contributions, the king will definitely give you a chance. Bai Yu once said, you kid should be able to guess. ”

Sima Xing said with a smile.

In today's Qin court, there are many generals, not to mention General Teng, General Wang Jian and others, not to mention other generals, that is, in the younger generation today, there are four young but well-known Qiang, Li Xin, Wang Li, and Meng Tian.

With so many Qin generals, it is very difficult to get the attention of the current king!

Even if Bai Yan is a white surname, Bai Qi's surname.

However, it does not mean that Bai Yan has no chance.

This time, Bai Yan went north to make meritorious contributions, in addition to being promoted, he also let the civil and military officials in the court know that after Bai Yu was poisoned, the Bai family was not without one.

And the most important point is to show the king that Bai Yan has the ability to lead the troops.

If Bai Yan was promoted to the city doctor before, it would be a test for Bai Yan.

After Bai Yu was poisoned, Bai Yan beheaded Han Qiu, the Han general, and went north to the four cities.

This is far more than a doctor can give.

Therefore, the current king will definitely give Bai Yan a chance again, which is also one of the ways for the king to test the ability of civil and military officials

"Hmm!"

Bai Yan listened to Sima Xing's words and nodded.

In the past, when Bai Yu told him that it was a test, he instinctively thought that if there was a first time, there would be a second and third test, just like selecting talents in later generations.

This is also why he was so sure in the past, as long as he went north to win the four cities, he would be able to control the Bai Iron Cavalry.

Inside the study.

After talking for a while, Bai Yan said goodbye and left.

Sima Xing nodded, looking at Bai Yan's back as he left with Qin Jian in his hand, his eyes were full of emotion.

Who would have thought that the young man who took his life to win the first place in the past, in the blink of an eye, made a move that surprised everyone.

remembered that when Bai Yu saw the bamboo slip, his weak and pale face was stunned.

Thinking of that scene, Sima Xing couldn't help but smile.

However, Sima Xing also couldn't help but be envious.

With this young man here in the future, the Bai family will not decline.

As long as Bai Yan can continue to make contributions to the Qin State.

Sooner or later, Bai Yan will enter the court of the Qin State and go to meet the king in person.
