"General, the dove will retire first!"

Jiu Yuguang glanced at Xu Shi, then looked at Bai Yan, and arched his hand.

After Xu Shi heard the dove leave, he came back to his senses at this time, looking at the young man in front of him, full of heart palpitations.

She used to think that in front of Lu Sheng and Lu Lu, this young man was too tender, and sooner or later he would not be able to withstand the temptation and become Lu Sheng and Lu Lu's people.

Now she knows that from the very beginning, the young man has been aware of Lu Sheng and Lu Lu's plans, and has been playing with Lu Sheng and Lu Lu.

Lu Sheng and Lu Lu never dreamed that the person who was invited to the banquet in the restaurant was Bai Yan himself.

"Master Xu, I've seen the general!"

Xu Shi nodded and saluted, with a hint of apprehension in his voice.

Unlike before, at this moment, she no longer dared to despise the young man in front of her.

The previous incidents, plus what happened here in Gaonu a few days ago, all of this was from the hands of the young man in front of her, how could she dare to despise such a person.

"No need to be polite, please take a seat!"

Bai Yan smiled, said to Xu Shi, and stretched out his hand to signal.

Because there was only one mat, and before in the Lu family's mansion, Xu Shi not only accompanied him, but also poured himself wine at the banquet.

So there are not so many constraints at the moment.

Seeing Xu Shi obediently step forward, kneeling on the mat beside him, Bai Yan wrote the last note on the layout, then took the seal and stamped it.

Xu Shi knelt uneasily.

She didn't know what Bai Yan would do with her after discovering that Yan was Bai Yan.

Just when Xu Shi was uneasy.

"Since the girl is by Lu Sheng's side, she should have heard of it, I have helped Lu Qi before!"

Bai Yan didn't look at Master Xu, but said softly while putting away the layout.

There is no opposition between Lu Sheng and him.

Previously, he helped Lu Qi, and also helped Lu Qi develop in Yingchuan County, which had no direct conflict of interest with Lu Sheng, and perhaps the only thing that affected was some discourse and weight within the Lu clan.

This is not a feud at all, because when necessary, because of Lu Qi's relationship, he can also be regarded as a connection of the Lu family.

According to Lu Qi, infighting is infighting, but no matter how infighting the clansmen are, their connections are all the connections of the Lu family.

"Master Xu knows!"

Xu Shi knelt beside Bai Yan, bowed his head slightly, and replied softly.

After Bai Yan put away the layout, he turned his head and looked at Xu Shi with interest.

"The girl is a smart man!"

Bai Yan made his words clear: "I don't want Lu Sheng to know that I am Bai Yan!" ”

At the moment, he didn't want Lu Sheng to know that he was Bai Yan, at least after he met King Qin, he didn't have to care about this matter.

"General rest assured, Xu Shi doesn't know anything about today!"

Xu Shimei's eyes raised, and when he saw Bai Yan's eyes, he hurriedly lowered his head again.

Playing the kite in the restaurant, in addition to his talent, Xu Shi is naturally not stupid in terms of being a person.

If the young man in front of her was the same as at the beginning, not Bai Yan, she naturally didn't dare to disobey Lu Sheng.

But the person in front of him was Bai Yan. It's a different story.

Xu Shi knew that as long as Bai Yan revealed his identity, not to mention Lu Qi and Lu Sheng's clan, they would hand her over to Bai Yan, even if they were the young shopkeeper Lu Sheng, they would hand her over to Bai Yan for disposal.

Bai Yan saw Master Xu's hesitant appearance, and his heart was a lot more relaxed.

"Can the girl tell Bai Yan that Lu Sheng is in Yuzhong City now?"

Bai Yan asked softly.

In the face of Bai Yan's inquiry, Xu Shi secretly glanced at Bai Yan and thought about it.

"Young shopkeeper and Gansi, in Yuzhong City"

Xu Shi opened his mouth and said, without the slightest concealment, and told what he knew.

After knowing that the young man was Bai Yan, she knew who to listen to, and she felt that even if she didn't say it, maybe the young man in front of her had already guessed it.

Under the wooden shed.

As Master Xu slowly told Lu Sheng about it, two people wearing Qin armor entered the wooden shed.

"General!"

Huai carried a bowl of herbs on the table, and another soldier handed a roll of bamboo slips to Bai Yan: "General, this is news from General Hu Jin." ”

Bai Yan heard that it was Hu Jin's bamboo slip, and after taking the bamboo slip, he immediately opened it.

"The general was wounded by a sword?"

Xu Shi was on the side, saw Bai Yan drinking medicine, and asked softly.

In one sentence, Bai Yan looked at Master Xu very unexpectedly, and then looked at the medicine in the bowl.

"Do you know how to heal?"

When Bai Yan said this, he sniffed in and made sure he didn't smell it.

At this time, Bai Yan's gaze at Xu Shi became strange, and at this glance, Xu Shi could see that he was drinking medicine, and it was definitely a sword wound.

This is a surprise!

You must know that unlike later generations, most of the herbs under the present are drunk with cold water or wine, and few are boiled, so most of them have no taste, and even the color change of his bowl is not obvious.

Could it be that this Master Xu also knows medical skills?

Then if that's the case, you have to think about whether to find an opportunity to bring Master Xu over and take it with you.

After all, a woman who knows how to heal is a baby.

"Master Xu's father is a member of a sword-forging family, and whenever the sword is seriously injured and hurts the muscles and veins, he will take this herb, so Master Xu knows some herbs."

Xu Shi explained softly, his slender two little hands tightly clasping the corners of his clothes.

"A family of swordsmiths? Composed? ”

Bai Yan frowned slightly, then thought of something, and turned his head to look at Xu Shi: "Zhao Guo Xu family?" ”

In Bai Yan's memory, his mentor Yin Bei once said that in the world, there are several famous sword-casting families, among which the surname Xu is only the Xu family of Zhao Guo, and the head of the family, Mrs. Xu.

Unlike the name, Madame Tsui is a burly man.

And after hearing about this incident and thinking about it for a long time, Bai Yan vaguely remembered that when Yan Dan planned to assassinate him in the future, he would go to Zhao State with 100 gold and buy a dagger from Mrs. Xu.

"You're not Qiren? The restaurant that day? ”

Bai Yan took the medicine on the table and slowly drank it into his mouth.

Although I haven't cooked it, I have to drink the residue together, but I have to say that the effect of the medicine is really fierce.

While drinking the medicine, Bai Yan waited for Xu Shi's answer, when he was in the restaurant, Xu Shi had played Qi Zheng.

"Master Xu's father is Xu Tao, Mrs. Xu's son Jizi, and Xu's mother met in Qi State, and Xu's Guzheng was taught by his biological mother."

When Xu Shi said this, a trace of weakness appeared on his fair-skinned face, and then he looked at Bai Yan: "Mrs. Xu was dissatisfied with her mother's background, so after her father's death, she expelled her biological mother from the Xu family, and Xu Shi also returned to Qi to make a living from the guzheng. ”

After listening to Master Xu's words, Bai Yan turned his head to look at Master Xu.

Xu Shi's mother knows Guzheng, and her life experience makes Mrs. Xu particularly mind, Bai Yan also roughly guessed that it is likely that Xu Shi's mother is the same as Xu Shi.

"And you know how to heal?"

Bai Yan asked, since you know herbal medicine, do you know how to cure diseases?

Under Bai Yan's gaze, Xu Shi hesitated for a long time, and finally glanced at Bai Yan cautiously.

"Nope! However, due to the fact that the Xu family forged swords and had a lot of connections with physicians, when his father was alive, Xu Shi learned "

Xu Shiwei said resignedly, lowering his head. "Lots of poison!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Shi was very nervous, and he didn't dare to breathe.

"Poison?"

Bai Yan looked at Xu Shi with a strange look.

Although Xu Shi didn't say it explicitly, but inside and outside the words, Xu Shi was saying that she was a poisoner!

Looking at this white-skinned and beautiful, young Master Xu is actually a poisoner.

If there is anything more disgusting today than a mortary and a thief, it must be the poisoner.

Compared to the stench of the mortar and the scolding of the thief, the poisoner is naturally jealous and afraid, so he stays away.

Because everyone was afraid, the next moment he fell to the ground in inexplicable pain, and finally died inexplicably.

Even Bai Yan was particularly jealous of the poisoner.

Bai Yan dared to guarantee that Lu Sheng must not know that Xu Shi was good at poison, otherwise he would never dare to approach her, or even dare to put it in the restaurant.

"The Xu family! Poison! ”

Bai Yan muttered.

Thinking of Yan Dan's assassination of Qin, and contacting Xu Shi, Bai Yan vaguely guessed that Yan Dan went to the Xu family in Zhao State to ask for a dagger, most likely not just to ask for a dagger, but to ask for poison.

If you really want to assassinate someone, why need the sharpest dagger in the world!

Compared to the dagger, the deadliest poison in the world is more important.

Bai Yan turned his head and looked at Xu Shi who was bowing his head.

"If you can cure the poison in my uncle Bai Yu, I Bai Yan promise you one thing!"

Bai Yan knew Master Xu's thoughts.

From the time he saw the herbs, he couldn't wait to speak, to the later initiative to say things about good poison, Bai Yan had already guessed Master Xu's purpose.

Bai Yu's poison!

If it weren't for Bai Yu's poison, Xu Shi would never have said the identity of the poisoner, because this was not only disgusted, but more importantly, once the identity was exposed, if someone was poisoned in the future, he would be implicated as soon as possible.

In most cases when the murderer cannot be found, whether there is a murder or not, the poisoner is the murderer.

This is also why for thousands of years, the poisoner basically does not appear in front of the world, and the ancient books will only record Shennong and Bian Que, but not the poisoner.

Xu Shi can take such a big risk, he must have something to ask him for!

"General Xie!"

When Xu Shi heard Bai Yan's words, he hurriedly turned his head to look at Bai Yan, his reddish eyes were full of gratitude.

Bai Yan saw Master Xu's red eyes, and didn't say anything, he didn't find Bian Que's disciple at the moment, so it didn't hurt to let Master Xu try.

Although a poisoner cannot cure diseases, he is likely to be better at detoxification than a doctor.

Bai Yu can only hope that Xu Shi really has the ability.

As long as he can remove the poison in Bai Yu's body, no matter what Master Xu wants him to repay, it will not be a problem for him, and if he can repay the favor when the time comes, he will not be able to pay it back, so let Bai Yu figure it out by himself.

Right now, he is leading his troops in Shangjun, if Bai Yu can completely understand the poison in his body, even if the veins have been damaged, as long as Bai Yu can appear in the court, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

Come to think of it.

Bai Yan set his eyes on the open bamboo slip.

"Feng Quji!"

Bai Yan looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, and General Hu Jin told him that the new county guard was Feng Quji!

And in two days, Feng Qujian arrived in Yuzhong City.

Bai Yan slowly put away the bamboo slips and turned his head to look at Master Xu.

"You go and prepare, go to Yuzhong with me, and after a while, I will take you to the Bai Clan!"

When he asked Master Xu to come, he didn't let those maids and subordinates come over, but now as long as Master Xu doesn't say anything, those subordinates can fool the past if they find a reason casually.

And Lu Sheng, who knew that he was wearing Tian Fei Yan Yu, even if he asked his subordinates, he would never doubt it when he heard his subordinates' words.

"Yes, General!"

When Xu Shi heard Bai Yan's words, he responded obediently, and then got up and left the wooden shed.

Bai Yan picked up the seal and slowly got up.

Outside the wooden shed.

Ye held the Qin sword in his hand, looked at Xu Shi in the distance, and then looked at Bai Yan.

"Get ready, change your clothes, and follow me to Yuzhong!"

Bai Yan said to the industry.

"No!"

Karma nodded, then turned to leave.

On the plains.

Bai Yan came to the Iron Cavalry camp and looked at the new cavalry who had begun training in the distance, and Qi was also in it.

Seeing this, Bai Yan didn't bother with Jue's training.

Looking at the appearance of Qi Na riding a horse, Bai Yan didn't know why, and was a little gloating.

Because when he was in Yangcheng, he practiced riding and endured hardships in this way, during that time, he had to sleep on his stomach and stand when he ate.

"General!"

"General!!"

In the middle of the camp.

With the sound of clanging, an iron cavalry soldier with a naked upper body looked at Bai Yan.

"General!"

Yan Mao also looked at Bai Yan at this moment and bowed his hand.

Bai Yan nodded, and then came to Yan Mao's side.

"How?"

Bai Yan looked in front of a gray-haired old man and asked, then looked at the iron piece in the furnace.

"General! Over here! ”

When the gray-haired old man saw Bai Yan, he hurriedly surrendered his hand, and then took Bai Yan to the two war horses.

Bai Yan came to the side of the war horse, looked at the two burly war horses in front of him, and then squatted down and looked at the iron pieces on the hooves of the war horses.

"General, the soldiers don't know how to strike iron, and it's still a little loose, but compared to the hooves below, the stirrups above are too good, not only comfortable, but also let the soldiers ride horses and fight as if they were on the ground!"

Yan Mao said.

As he spoke, he looked at these two little things with bright eyes, and basically after installing these two little things, the strength of the soldiers skyrocketed visibly.

The only difficulty is that not only the iron pieces are required, but the workmanship in other places is very complicated, and the materials required before and after add up to a lot of money.

Otherwise, Yan Mao thought that if the entire iron horse was fully assembled, then in the future, there would be that iron horse that could stop them.

"Hmm!"

Bai Yan looked at the irregular shape of the horseshoe nail and did not feel strange.

To be honest, Bai Yan was very surprised to be able to make the horseshoe nails needed to make two war horses, after all, the soldiers were not blacksmiths and had no experience in striking iron.

In the Qin State, the status of the blacksmith is not low, either serving in Xianyang, directly under the arsenal order, building weapons, or in Wancheng, directly subordinate to the chief iron officer, building agricultural tools.

He had been looking for this gray-haired old man for a long time before he found him.

"I'm going to take these two war horses to Yuzhong!"

Bai Yan opened his mouth and said.

When he was in the destruction of Korea, with a long time of contact with war horses, Bai Yan soon found that the hooves of many war horses were not maintained, and they were ridden by soldiers to fight all year round, and the horses' hooves were badly damaged.

For this reason, Bai Yan thought of the horseshoe nail for the first time, and he always thought about the horsefoot nail after destroying Han, so he got the horseshoe nail out.

But what I didn't expect was that after the first day, Fang came to Shangjun and came to Gaonu to take office, and encountered Mi Qi's conspiracy and fought a vicious battle with the Xiongnu and the Yue clan.

"Old gentleman, there is hard work during this time, Bai Yan is ashamed, Bai Yan has ordered the soldiers to build a house for the old gentleman, and the old gentleman can move in!"

Bai Yan turned his head and bowed to the gray-haired old man, his words full of gratitude.

If it weren't for the teachings of this old man, he would never have been able to get a sample right now.

Now that the sample is available, the rest is to persuade General Hu Jin and the newly appointed county guard Feng to go to the disease.

After all, the horseshoe nails and stirrups needed for a whole iron cavalry army, and the iron ore needed is not a small amount, and it must be agreed by the county lieutenant and the county guard, and then the county lieutenant nods, and the county guard writes to Xianyang, and finally after Xianyang agrees, he will issue an edict to the arsenal order, or the chief iron officer.

In the Qin State, where Qin laws are strict, there are cumbersome steps in other things, not to mention that this involves iron ore, it can be said that every step is indispensable, and it is even likely that the samples need to be brought to Xianyang for review.

"General, the old man doesn't dare, it's the old man's luck to be able to contribute to the general."

When the old man saw Bai Yan making such a solemn salute, he hurriedly helped Bai Yan up, and his words were full of anxiety.

As a high-slave commoner, the old man knew that the white general in front of him did not hesitate to risk losing his official position, not only saving his life, but also saving his family.

Now that he is old, he came here just to teach the soldiers to strike iron, not only did he not have to contribute, but General Bai also built a good house for him, how could he still afford such a solemn gift from General Bai.

He's just a pity.

If the eldest son and the third son return to Gaonu, then they must let the two of them personally strike iron for the general!

"Yan Mao, take the old gentleman to the residence."

Bai Yan turned his head to Yan Mao and said.

"No!"

Yan Mao nodded.

Before the old man left, he bowed to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan returned the salute.

on the carriage.

Xu Shi sat in the carriage and waited quietly, and Lu Sheng's two maids also sat in the carriage.

Maybe thinking of her father, mother, and childhood scene, tears appeared in Xu Shi's eyes, and she had forgotten how long she hadn't cried.

Grunt~!

Suddenly hearing the sound of horses' hooves outside, Xu Shi hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, then turned his head and lifted the small curtain.

"Let's go!"

It was Bai Yan who was riding a horse who spoke.

However, on the back of the horse at this time, there were no stirrups that I had seen before, only four horseshoes, which made the subordinates look at it one after another, and felt a little strange.

I owe it later, readers, love you, love you!!
