In the middle of the night, the cold wind blew slightly through the windows.

Bai Yan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, woke up slowly.

Listening to the cold wind blowing outside the window, lying on the bed, Bai Yan sighed, saying that winter is difficult, but for those who have money and power, winter is just a little colder.

Anyway, he couldn't sleep anymore, Bai Yan thought about it, but still lifted the warm plush futon on his body and got up slowly.

Seeing that there was still a long time before dawn, Bai Yan put on a thick cloth coat, left the door, and found a subordinate.

Soon after.

According to Bai Yan's request, the subordinate found a roll of bamboo slips.

Although Bai Yan didn't say that he wanted a stove, his servant still sent a stove intimately, and also instructed a maid to come over regularly to add charcoal to the stove.

in the room.

Under the candlelight, Bai Yan knelt at the wooden table, enjoying the warmth of the stove beside him, while bowing his head to write bamboo slips.

This scene is unimaginable, at this moment, the cold wind outside the window at night.

Two hours later, as the sky grew brighter.

Bai Yan stretched out his hand and gently pushed open the small window next to him, accompanied by a cold wind, listening to the footsteps of the people and maids coming and going outside the room.

Bai Yan put away the bamboo slips and slowly got up.

Inside the mansion.

Ji's and Fan's took the people of the mansion and began to get busy.

Today is a very special day for the Bai family.

"Is the carriage ready?"

"Go and carry the cereals, the wine, and the wood of Artemisia."

"Prepare the chickens and ducks."

Fan took Lu and arranged his subordinates in an orderly manner.

Inside the promenade.

Among the subordinates who came and went, Ji, accompanied by the subordinates, came to the study and saw Bai Zhong and Bai Bo and others.

"Almost."

Ji said to Bai Bo and Bai Yan.

From Pingyang to Xianyang, although it is not very far, but it is also necessary to sacrifice, winter is not better than summer, if you don't start early, then you have to walk at night.

"Hmm."

Bai Bo nodded.

Then he and Bai Yan glanced at each other, and left the study with their father Bai Zhong.

Outside the mansion.

Several carriages were already waiting outside the house.

Bai Ji commanded his subordinates to carry things on the carriage behind.

Bai Yu, supported by Bai Ming and Bai Yuan, stood in place, looking at the busy figure in front of him.

A moment later.

Bai Yan also came over from a distance, leading the war horse.

"You kid, you will definitely return to the Bai family more in the future."

Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan and said softly.

Bai Yu understood that Bai Yan would go to worship on this trip, and he would definitely stay in Xianyang after that.

And after the first day, Bai Yan was going to go to Shangjun Gaonu to garrison, and now that he was going to say goodbye, even Bai Yu didn't know when the next time they met.

"Bai Yan will definitely come to visit his uncle again."

Bai Yan listened to Bai Yu's words and nodded slightly.

At this time.

Bai Yan saw that at the gate of the mansion, Bai Zhong, Bai Bo and others walked out of the mansion with the Bai clan.

What Bai Yan didn't expect was that the two sisters, Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue, actually went with them.

"Don't forget what I said yesterday, in Gaonu, in addition to the Zhao State and the Xiongnu, you must always be wary of the Yue Clan."

Bai Yu opened his mouth and said, seemingly a little uneasy.

Hearing this, Bai Yan looked at Bai Yu and nodded lightly.

Although the Yue clan does not have large-scale wars with the Qin State today, the small wars have not been interrupted for any year.

The nomadic tribes of the Xiongnu and Yueshi can also rely on trade and trade with the Central Plains countries in spring, summer, and autumn.

However, in winter, these nomadic people have a huge consumption of their own winter, and they are no longer able to trade with the Central Plains.

At this time.

The nature is highlighted.

At the beginning of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the nomadic tribes relied on force and grew up on horseback since childhood, and came to the Central Plains to forcibly plunder, rape and plunder.

At first, it was impossible to do it in winter, but then it was discovered that not only did it not cost to snatch, but it could also get more supplies, and even enjoy the Central Plains women.

So the people of the nomadic tribe came to the Central Plains to rob regardless of the season.

Until the first Great Wall appeared.

Those nomadic tribes have only relented, but because of the appearance of the Great Wall, the nomadic tribes have also begun to understand that one tribe alone can no longer go south.

This also forced the nomadic tribes to unite and gradually derive from tribes to larger tribes and countries.

"Zhao has Li Mu, the Huns dare not go south, and the northern land of Qin is the Yue clan."

This is Bai Yu's original words yesterday, and this sentence is full of helplessness.

Ten years ago, the Xiongnu and the Yueshi were the two overlords in the north, and their power territory was not weak in the Chu State, but Li Mu's birth made the Xiongnu elite and prime of life all wiped out.

The power of the Xiongnu gradually weakened, and they no longer dared to try to go south.

However, the Huns are weak, and the Yueshi is strong!

Without the constraints of the Xiongnu, the strength of the Yue clan is gradually rising.

Outside the mansion.

The two sisters, Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue, inadvertently looked at the young man who was talking to their uncle, and then in their minds, they couldn't help but think of what their uncle Bai Yu said last night.

The two daughters took their own thoughts, and then walked towards the carriage with the rest of the clansmen, and stood by the carriage and waited.

A moment later.

At the urging of Bai Ji, all the things needed for the sacrifice have been put in the carriage.

"Father, it's all in place."

Bai Ji turned around, and after a few breaths, he came to Bai Zhong and said.

Bai Zhong nodded and looked at Bai Bo and Bai Yan: "Go!" ”

"Get in the carriage!"

Bai Bo listened to his father's words, turned his head and asked the juniors who went with him to hurry up and get into the carriage.

Not far away.

Bai Yan was talking with Bai Yu, and suddenly heard Bai Bo's voice, and then turned his head to see that the children of the Bai family who went to worship this time were all in the carriage in turn.

"Bai Yan will come back one day."

Bai Yan looked at Bai Yu, showed a hint of a smile, and said softly.

For Bai Yan, among all the people in the Bai family, only Bai Yu, who has always been in the army, has a hearty temperament and does not hide it, so that people do not need to be guarded.

In the past, those who had no special purpose to take care of them also kept Bai Yan in mind.

"You kid has to fight for breath, next time, you will definitely bring a general back!"

Bai Yu looked at the young man in front of him and showed a hint of a smile.

Although the border is full of dangers, there are always opportunities, as long as there is no war with Zhao State, Bai Yan will have enough time to grow.

"Inherit Uncle Jiyan!"

Bai Yan bowed, then led the war horse, and after walking a few steps, he turned over and got on the horse.

Sitting on the war horse, Bai Yan looked at Bai Yu with a smile on his face.

"Drive!"

Bai Yan retracted his gaze, waved the horse rope, and gently kicked the war horse's belly.

Walking with the war horse, Bai Yan turned his head to look ahead.

Bai Yu is injured and should not run around, so he will naturally not go to worship this time.

Grunt~!

Gurgling~!!

With the rotation of the carriages, outside the Bai Mansion, some of the Bai children who did not go stood in front of the door, watching the carriage leave.

"Another year!"

Bai Zhong watched several carriages slowly leave, and his cloudy old eyes were full of emotion.

At this moment, Bai Zhong gave people the feeling of being a poor old man.

Ji and Fan came to Bai Zhong's side and quietly accompanied him.

They have followed Bai Zhong for so many years, and they naturally know that on this day, Bai Zhong, who is the son of Bai Qi, is the most uncomfortable.

It used to be on this day.

The pillars of the Bai clan fell suddenly, and the Bai clan also began to decline.

Binh Duong City.

Several carriages came to a slow stop at the city gate.

After confirming his identity, Qin asked the carriage to leave.

Inside a horse-drawn carriage.

Bai Yingxue, who was lively by nature, looked at her father and eldest sister in the car.

Thinking of the young man riding a horse outside, Bai Yingxue didn't know why, in her heart, she couldn't help but want to lift the window and look at the scenery outside, but she was afraid that her father and eldest sister would misunderstand!

More tomorrow! Good night, everyone!!
