"Yan'er, why are you here? Also, it's here."

Xiao Gu looked sluggish at the moment, looking at the young man in disbelief, this little kid who had been carrying him when he was still in the Qi Kingdom.

How could Yan'er be here?

It should be in the Qi State, why is it in the Qin army, and why does Yan'er still become a Qin doctor?

Something suddenly occurred to him.

Spread out!

Bai Yan!

Thinking of this, Xiao Gu's mouth slowly opened again, and he looked at the young man in front of him with shock.

Bai Yan, who had been assassinated by those dead soldiers before.

It's Yan'er! His own nephew!

"It's a long story."

Bai Yan looked at his little uncle and slowly said the matter of being driven out in Qi Country.

But Zou Xing's matter, he naturally won't say.

It is impossible for the little uncle to go to the Bai family, even if he goes to the Bai family, the Bai family will not tell Zou Xing about it.

Inside the study.

Under a candlelight, Xiao Gu knelt at the table, watching the young man in front of him pour tea for him, listening to the young man's words, it took a long time before he slowly recovered from the shock, and his face was emotional.

"You kid!"

Xiao Gu said with a smile and a smile, who would have thought that the child who was bullied in the village before, his sister's own son, is now so big in a blink of an eye.

not only became a doctor of Qin, but also has the surname Bai.

I don't know what method this kid used, he actually hooked up with a Bai woman and successfully joined the Bai family.

You must know that since ancient times, the gap in identity has doomed women not to marry, unless the clansmen are specially appreciative of a person, they will marry their children.

But at this time.

Xiao Gu suddenly thought that since Yan'er was Bai Yan, it was Yan'er who led the Bai Clan's iron cavalry north to capture the city?

Come to think of it.

Xiao Gu looked stunned, looked at the young man in front of him, and suddenly felt that this was still the little nephew who had followed him to pick up bird eggs since he was a child?

How could Yan'er lead the troops into battle?

Xiao Gu was about to ask Bai Yan, but before he could speak, he saw Bai Yan looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Little uncle, why haven't you come home all these years?"

Bai Yan asked.

Whether the little uncle is a filial person or not, Bai Yan knows it in his heart, otherwise he would not take the initiative to recognize him.

But it is precisely because of this that I am more curious why my little uncle has not come home to visit my grandmother all these years.

"Killed."

Xiao Gu sighed, and when he mentioned home, his expression was full of helplessness.

"I killed three people in Linzi that year, if I go back, once I am recognized, I will definitely affect my grandmother and uncle."

He took the teacup on the table, took the tea as wine, and drank it in one gulp.

There has been no war in the Qi country, but it is precisely like this, most of the doormen are still those people.

Back then, he was worried about affecting his family, and after the killing, he didn't even dare to go home, so he ran to Chu without his life.

In the past few years, he has wanted to go home, but he has not dared to go back, and he has not even dared to let people know that he is alive.

"Murder?"

Bai Yan frowned, and then he understood why when he asked his grandmother and mother about his little uncle, they never mentioned it.

I guess he knew something, and at that time, he was still very young.

"Is your grandmother okay?"

Xiao Gu glanced at Bai Yan, his eyes were full of guilt, his eyes were red, and then he lowered his head.

After his father was gone, his mother raised the three sisters single-handedly, but now he can't even fulfill his filial piety.

"My uncle used to work as a hawker in Linzi, and my grandmother was alone at home and fainted several times.

Bai Yan opened his mouth and told his uncle about that day.

When Xiao Gu heard this, he looked at Bai Yan in a daze, and tears slowly appeared in his eyes.

When I was a child, the hard-working mother raised him single-handedly, and would rather be hungry than let him be fed.

Knock knock~!

"Little uncle."

Bai Yan watched his little uncle suddenly slam his head on the wooden table, making a loud noise, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

However, the little uncle was like a demon, and he didn't want to die.

Almost instantly, a trace of blood appeared on the wooden table.

Bai Yan stopped the little uncle, and then worried that the little uncle would kowtow his head, so he held the little uncle's forehead, but the next moment.

Bai Yan felt a sharp pain in his hand, but fortunately, at his insistence, the little uncle was stunned for a while, and finally stopped.

"Children are not filial~!"

When he raised his head again, a trace of blood slowly flowed from his forehead, and the tears in his eyes slowly flowed down his cheeks that had been baptized by that time.

This middle-aged man was crying like a child at the moment, and his eyes were full of pain.

Bai Yan watched his little uncle calm down, and finally shook his hand, looking at his little uncle, he could understand that feeling.

Bai Yan found a piece of cloth and handed it to his uncle.

Xiao Gu closed his eyes and said nothing, but the tears on his old face kept flowing.

After a long time.

Xiao Gu opened his teary eyes.

"Little uncle, Yan'er hasn't asked why the little uncle brought the dead with him."

Bai Yan was worried that his little uncle would not be able to think about it anymore, so he quickly diverted the topic.

At this moment, Bai Yan was also full of questions, why his little uncle was with those dead soldiers.

As he spoke, Bai Yan turned around and brought the bamboo slip that was blessed.

Shen Yan should not change his plan, after all, only Han Ling knows about this matter, Han Ling is dead, there is no reason why Shen Ling will change his previous plan, and that is also the best way to drag down the Qin army.

General Chu Cheng has already led the elite to Xinzheng, and tomorrow when the iron cavalry army arrives in Xincheng, he will also lead the iron cavalry army to Xinzheng.

Xinzheng Po, where is the violent blessing, there is no need to hide it.

"No wonder Yan'er found me."

Although Xiao Gu was uncomfortable at the moment, because he knew that Bai Yan was Yan'er, he naturally thought of the previous incident, and when he thought of Yan'er's safety, he was also a little 'angry'.

With tear-stained eyes, looking at the contents of the bamboo slips, Xiao Gu only understood at this time.

It turned out that when he was in Yangxi, Yan'er had already controlled his whereabouts.

"Previously, the Xiang clan received the news, so they sent the dead to ambush Bai Yu, this time it was also entrusted by the Xiang clan, Yan'er, you are now being targeted by them, and you must be careful in the future."

Xiao Gu looked at Bai Yan, since Yan'er was already a member of the Bai family, as a junior uncle, he would naturally look towards Yan'er.

For him, fame and fortune were once dreamed of, but he was middle-aged, and in the face of family affection, he chose family affection.

Just like Fang Cai, when he learned that his mother was sick, he just wanted to exchange everything he had for him to return to his mother and honor his mother.

"Little uncle, are you in the Xiang clan now?"

Bai Yan frowned slightly, then thought of something and looked at his little uncle.

He shook his head.

"Under the Qu family, under the Qu Mata Sect."

Koya said.

After the killing, he was worried that his identity would be discovered, so he hurriedly fled the Qi country, and he did not dare to enter the city all the way.

After arriving in the state of Chu, although he had no ability, he had the strength to be righteous and righteous.

By chance, he was appreciated by the then Situ Qu Yu and became his diner, which was highly valued.

In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed.

"Situ."

Bai Yan muttered, Situ is in charge of all kinds of labor and military service, etc., obviously if the little uncle does not meet Qu Yu, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable.

For the Qu family, he knows something, one of the three major surnames in the Chu State.

The official system of Chu was different from that of the Zhou royal family, because during the period of the Zhou royal family, the Chu state was excluded by other countries, so the Chu state did not obey the Zhou dynasty.

Therefore, the state of Chu also had a special system of officials.

Compared with the Central Plains, the bureaucratic system of the Chu State was more complex, with three official positions being the most important.

One of them is Ling Yin, who is equivalent to the Xiangguo of the Central Plains and the largest official except for the King of Chu.

The second is Sima, who is in charge of the military power of the Chu State.

The third is Mo Ao, Mo Ao has no specific position, but can represent the king of Chu, and his position is placed after Ling Yin and Sima.

And Mo Ao, in the Chu State, has always been selected from the Qu family.

"Qu also participated in the assassination of Bai?"

Bai Yan looked at his uncle and asked softly.

He shook his head.

"Previously, the dead soldiers under the command of the Xiang clan had been killed and injured when they assassinated Bai Yu, and when the Xiang clan heard about you, they went to the Qu family to borrow the dead soldiers, and their purpose was not only to assassinate you, but also to entrust the Qu clan to take Xiang Liang back to Chu State."

Koya said.

It is difficult to raise dead soldiers, and it is not easy for the Xiang family to raise more than 500 dead soldiers. When Bai Yu was assassinated before, he had been killed.

Later, I heard that among the Qin army, there was still a child of the Bai family, and after Bai Yu was poisoned, he not only controlled the Bai family's iron cavalry, but also beheaded the Han generals and went north to capture the city, and his ability far exceeded Bai Yu.

Xiang naturally couldn't sit still, so he went to Qu and persuaded Qu to send dead soldiers into Korea.

One is to learn that Bai Yan escorted Yao Jia to Xinzheng, which is a rare opportunity.

The second is to find Xiang Liang, who led the dead to ambush Bai Yu before, and Xiang Liang was also injured and has remained in South Korea.

"Xiang Liang?"

Bai Yan heard the name.

Inside the study.

Xiao Gu seemed to be puzzled when he saw Bai Yan, so he told Bai Yan about the Xiang family in detail.

The Zhang family is based on the Zhang family tree, and the Xiang family is also written by the Xiang family.

According to the genealogy of the Xiang clan, Xiang Yan did not have only three sons, but seven.

In order: Xiang Rong, Xiang Liang, Xiang Le, Xiang Quan, Xiang Zhu, Xiang Ji, Xiang Bo (the word is Bo, not the brothers in the family according to an uncle, Zhong, Uncle, Ji)

Most of these people's sons and official positions are recorded.
