The county warden's mansion.

A Qin official hurried to the mansion, and then came to the study.

"Lord County Guard, Gao Nu City City Guard Bai Yan, ask to see you outside the mansion!"

Qin officials bowed to Yang Xian, the county guard.

Hear the words.

Yang Xian, who was looking at the bamboo slips, didn't raise his head, and he didn't put down the bamboo slips in his hand.

"Let him in!"

Yang Xian said a sentence when he saw it.

When Qin Yi heard this, he hurriedly turned around and left the study.

Yang Xian held the bamboo slip in one hand, stretched out the porcelain cup with the other hand, put the porcelain cup containing tea to his mouth, and blew it gently before taking a sip into his mouth.

After putting down the porcelain cup, among the two maids behind Yang Xian, one of the maids went to the side, took the hot warm tea, and carefully poured it for Yang Xian.

Throughout the process, Yang Xian's gaze never left the bamboo slips.

"I didn't expect that Bai Yan to come to Yuzhong City in person!"

On the other side of the wooden seat, Li Pingyan, who had not yet left, said in surprise.

Then Li Pingyan couldn't help but shake his head, there is no evidence, even if he comes, what can he do.

"Just conceited!"

Yang Xian was not too surprised.

After a long time.

There was a footstep, and then a sentence sounded in the study.

"Gaonu City, the city guard Bai Yan, see the county guard!"

Maybe it was because he had just finished reading the bamboo slips, or maybe he wanted to see what the person who wanted him to go to other counties to ask for help looked like, Yang Xian finally raised his head and looked at the person who was in the study and spoke.

Looking at this, Yang Xian didn't have a happy old face, and even a trace of dislike emerged.

"You are the Bai Yan who asked the old man to ask for help?"

Yang Xian looked at the young man, when his grandchildren were all young, his brows furrowed unnaturally.

Li Pingyan on the side saw Bai Yan and was quite surprised in his eyes.

I always thought that Bai Yan, who could win the first merit at a young age and made meritorious contributions several times, should be a young man with five big and three thick, strong and strong.

I never thought that Bai Yan, a disciple of the Bai clan who could be the same as his nephew Li Xin in the eyes of others, and was known as the young general of the Qin army, was actually a weak young man.

Inside the study.

When Bai Yan heard the words of Yang Xian, the county guard, he flashed a trace of astonishment, but he still nodded.

"Yes!"

Bai Yan looked at the old county guard Yang Xian, whose hair was gray, and was a little puzzled, he didn't remember where he had offended the county guard Yang Xian!

"Is there any evidence?"

Yang Xian reached out from the wooden table and took a roll of unopened bamboo slips, and then opened it.

"No evidence! But Bai Yan felt that it was too abnormal, obviously it was a drought, but now that the cold winter was coming, the Yueshi and the Xiongnu did not move. Bai Yan thought that as long as a large army was mobilized, no matter what happened to the Yue clan and the Xiongnu, Shangjun or Beidi, they could be protected."

When Bai Yan heard Yang Xian's words, he hurriedly gave up his hand to explain, but before the words fell, he was interrupted by Yang Xian.

"Do you know how much grain and grass is needed for an army of 100,000 people to travel along the way? Do you know how much grain and grass the upper county has to bear when an army of 100,000 people comes to Shangjun? If there is no evidence, you will ask for help and transfer troops, and you will mislead the country and the people! ”

Yang Xian looked at the bamboo slip and said softly.

"My lord, Bai Yan is willing to vouch for his life!"

Bai Yan looked at Yang Xian, but the next moment.

"Life? Your life is worth a few bucks! ”

Yang Xian's old dragon bell voice sneered.

Yang Xian, who is the county guard, is also Bai Yan's superior official, and he did not leave Bai Yan with any affection at this moment.

Li Pingyan is not surprised, Yang Xian is not only the county guard, but also an old minister of the four dynasties of the Qin State, like the general Yang Ruihe, he is the pillar of the Yang family, and Bai Yan is just a junior.

Bai Yan's actions before, not to mention Yang Xian, even he felt that this Bai family disciple was not as reliable as rumored.

And a day ago, he had ordered someone to send this matter to Xianyang and to Yu Shi Zhongcheng, originally wanting the Yu Shi doctor to know about it.

Listening to Fang Cai Bai Yan's words now, Li Pingyan felt that it was better to write another letter and report the things in front of her 1510.

If he felt that Bai Yan was not suitable to be a city guard yesterday, then now Li Pingyan feels that Bai Yan's heart should be tempered, and now Bai Yan is not suitable for being a city guard.

"My lord, Bai Yan's life is not worth much, but in Gaonu City!"

Bai Yan looked at Yang Xian and was about to continue speaking.

At this time, the door of the study behind Bai Yan was pushed open, and a maid slowly came in.

"My lord, Mr. Dongyuan Tang Bing and Mr. Xia Huang Cui Guang have arrived!"

The maid said to Yang Xian.

Hearing this, Yang Xian hurriedly got up and walked outside.

Even when Li Pingyan heard the names of these two people, she hurriedly got up, patted the clothes on her body, and walked out with Yang Xian.

"Your Excellency!"

Bai Yan saw that Yang Xian and Li Pingyan were leaving, and hurriedly spoke again.

Yang Xianli ignored Bai Yan, but walked quickly outside.

Bai Yan was in the courtyard of the county guard's mansion, looking at Yang Xian and Li Pingyan, and greeted the two fifty or sixty-year-old men with a warm face.

"Your Excellency!"

Bai Yan looked at the back of Yang Xian leaving, and bowed again.

"I have something important to discuss!"

Yang Xian, who had already lost his patience, stopped, glanced at Bai Yan with his old eyes, and then walked straight to the main hall.

Bai Yan stood in place, standing in the middle of this courtyard.

When he was a child, in the village of Qi Guo's hometown, the villagers looked down on him, and he could leave and return to his home.

But now that I have grown up, in this mansion, I am ridiculed and ignored, and I can walk thousands of miles, as if I am in shackles of ten thousand catties, but I can't walk a step at the moment.

Because Bai Yan knows better than anyone that if he leaves, the Gaonu people will be homeless, and as long as he steps out of the threshold of the mansion, the iron cavalry soldiers will be killed and injured countless times in the future.

From time to time, snowflakes begin to fall.

Bai Yan looked up at the sky, praying in his heart that a heavy snow could fall, trapping him in the elm and the Xiongnu in the heavy snow of the grassland.

Half an hour passed.

In the courtyard, the cold wind howled by, blowing snowflakes.

Bai Yan looked at a few maids, from another place, holding high-grade tea leaves, walking towards the main hall, Bai Yan didn't remember, the hot kettle in the maid's hand was already the first pot.

An hour later.

Bai Yan stood in the courtyard, watching the snowflakes falling from the sky disappear, and hope gradually disappeared.

Two hours later.

The sky gradually darkened, and Bai Yan, who had not entered for a day, stood in the courtyard and watched a famous maid in the distance enter the main hall with a hot meal and wine.

Outside the mansion.

More than 30 iron cavalry soldiers stood outside the door.

A carriage came slowly at this time, accompanied by more than a dozen cronies, and after the carriage stopped, the curtain opened, and a person familiar to the iron cavalry came out of the carriage.

"I've seen the general!"

"I've seen the general!!"

When a famous iron cavalry soldier saw General Hu Jin, he hurriedly bowed his hand.

Hu Jin looked at these iron cavalry soldiers at this moment, a little dazed, because he felt a little familiar, and then immediately thought that these were Gao Nu's iron cavalry soldiers.

"Why are you here?"

Hu Jin stepped out of the carriage and asked.

"We followed General Bai Yan to Yuzhong."

Accompanied by the iron cavalry generals led by him, he told Hu Jin what had happened, and Hu Jin was full of surprises.

Hearing that two hours ago, Bai Yan had already come to the county guard's mansion, and Hu Jin hurriedly walked towards the mansion.

Inside the mansion.

"Why has he been there for so long?"

"No, I've been standing for two hours, and it's getting dark! He hasn't left yet! ”

"Don't look at his young age, but I heard that he is the city guard of Gaonu City, Bai Yan!"

"What, he's Bai Yan? You see, so young, thin and weak, not strong at all? ”

As they walked, the two subordinates looked at the courtyard, the young man wearing Qin armor and wearing a Qin sword, standing alone, and whispered.

When the two of them almost bumped into one of them, they quickly came back to their senses, and this time they were almost not so frightened that they sat on the ground.

"Your Excellency!"

"Your Excellency!!"

Seeing Hu Jin, the two subordinates hurriedly saluted, extremely worried, and glad that they didn't bump into the county lieutenant.

Hu Jin didn't answer the two subordinates, and at this moment, his eyes looked at the young man standing in the courtyard in a daze.

Looking at the back of the young man, Hu Jin still remembered that in the first battle of Yangcheng, this young man first landed and captured the city and killed twenty-two people!

Hu Jin also remembered that after Bai Yu was poisoned, it was this young man who stepped forward, immediately turned the tide, and led the Bai Iron Cavalry to the north to make meritorious contributions.

Hu Jin remembered that when he was in Xincheng, in front of Yao Jia, General Teng and a group of generals, the young man directly cut off the only remaining vitality in South Korea with just a few words.

Now.

Xinzheng said goodbye and saw the boy again in Shangjun Yuzhong, but this time, he saw the boy standing alone in the yard.

The merit is obtained, and the reputation is also there, why does the young man still come to Yuzhong for a guess, and stand here to be ridiculed with cold eyes?

Hu Jin thought about it and understood why, he who had been in contact with Bai Yan clearly knew that Bai Yan had decided that the Yue clan and the Xiongnu would definitely go south before coming here.

Come to think of it.

Hu Jin stepped forward and came to Bai Yan's side.

"There is no evidence, let alone Yang Xian and Li Pingyan, even if it were any other person, they would not ask for help from other counties."

Hu Jin said.

Bai Yan, whose face was a little pale by the cold wind, only then did he notice that General Hu Jin came to his side at some point.

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

Bai Yan bowed to Hu Jin.

"Not enough soldiers and horses in one county?"

Hu Jin looked at Bai Yan, who was not stained with water, the particles were not entered, and his mouth was dry, and said softly.

The meaning of this sentence is to tell Bai Yan that he is Hu Jin and is now a county lieutenant.

"General, if there is really that day, Bai Yan still hopes that General Hu will help Bai Yan and escort the people to Yuzhong."

Bai Yan looked at Hu Jin and said with a smile, but the look on his smiling face seemed to make people feel very sad.

At this time, a maid came from a distance and came to Hu Jin's side.

"General Hu, the banquet has been arranged, my lord, please let the general in!"

The maid said to Hu Jin.

Bai Yan heard the maid's words at this time, and looked at Hu Jin with a smile.

"General, Bai Yan will leave first!"

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Come with me, and I'll talk to you again."

Hu Jin looked at Bai Yan.

Listening to the laughter of Yang Xian and the others coming from the main hall of the mansion, Bai Yan stopped, turned his head to look at Hu Jin, and smiled gratefully.

"No, General, Bai Yan has something!"

Bai Yan said.

From the beginning, he knew that General Hu Jin would help him, but after receiving the bamboo slips and stepping into this city, he did not plan to go to General Hu Jin.

General Hu Jin has already made it very clear in the bamboo slips that he is just obsessed, so why make it difficult for General Hu Jin to be a man in the future, after all, Lord Li is watching.

Turning his head to look at the mansion door.

Bai Yan walked towards the gate step by step.
