Xianyang, Qin State.

"Stop!"

"Where did it come from?"

Dozens of Qin officials were checking the pedestrians and businessmen coming and going, and a carriage with a black flag with the word Qin and the officials was riding came over, and the Qin officials gave way one after another.

Other pedestrians, as well as scholars and merchants, had already seen this scene.

Inside the carriage.

Mao Jiao rode in it, accompanied by the carriage slightly bumpy and undulating, Mao Jiao's body also swayed slightly.

Compared with the appearance of a few months ago, Mao Jiao looked a little tired at this moment.

On the way back to Qin from Qi State, although there was an envoy's carriage, the road was unimpeded, but Mao Jiao was here after all, and it was false to say that he was not tired of running around for days.

However, looking back on this trip, the people and things he knew, Mao Jiao sincerely felt that it was worth it.

Listening to the bustling sound outside the carriage, Mao Jiao was full of anticipation.

An hour later.

The carriage finally stopped slowly, and the groom hurriedly lifted the curtain after getting out of the carriage, and Mao Jiao slowly walked out of the carriage.

Looking at the Xianyang Palace in front of him, Mao Jiao, who was dressed in the official uniform of the Qin State, carried his clothes, carefully stepped out of the carriage, and then came to the palace gate.

"Your Excellency!"

At the gate of the palace, a general dressed in Qin armor saw Mao Jiao and raised his hand to salute.

As a general who has been responsible for guarding the palace all year round, he naturally knows Qing Maojiao.

"I'm tired of reporting to the king, Mao Jiao asks to see you!"

Mao Jiao bowed to the general and said very politely.

The general nodded, turned to the Qin pawn on the side, and asked him to go in and report.

It's been a long time.

When Qin came out, he saw that there was also a eunuch with him.

"Master Mao, the king ordered you to go to the study with the little one."

The eunuch came to Mao Jiao, bent down and said.

Mao nodded his head, and then motioned for the eunuch to lead the way in front.

Inside the royal palace.

As Mao Jiao walked, he looked at the huge empty land, the hundred-step staircase, and the huge palace that was deserted.

Although he is the secretary of the Qin State, the number of such individual summons is really not much.

Walked for a long time.

Mao Jiao went to the study of the palace, took off his boots, and waited until the order to summon him before entering the study.

In the study, when Mao Jiao saw Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng was standing in front of the map, alone, looking at the huge map.

Mao Jiao took a few steps forward.

"Weichen Maojiao, meet the king!"

Mao Jiao came to Yingzheng's side and bowed his hand.

Ying Zheng's eyes turned from the map to Mao Jiao, looking at Mao Jiao's dusty appearance, thinking that if it weren't for Mao Jiao, his mother would still be imprisoned, and he would not have a good reputation, and now Mao Jiao is old, and he has been working tirelessly for months.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng looked at Mao Jiao's eyes, and a hint of softness flashed.

"Mao Shangqing doesn't have to be polite! This time from Qi back to Qin, can you see or hear? ”

Ying Zheng said.

At this moment, Yingzheng is also looking forward to it, Mao Jiao will go to Qi State, and there will be gains.

Thinking about what the young man did in Shangjun at the beginning, as well as the previous fight with Li Mu, Ying Zheng said that it was false not to pay attention to it.

In the court of the Qin State today, there are only a handful of generals who can fight with Li Mu without falling into disadvantage, and the young generals are the only ones.

Not to mention that there were no scholars behind the young man.

"Back to the king, this time into Qi, Weichen really went to a small village called Shuicun according to what the king said."

Mao Jiao heard Ying Zheng's words, saluted with both hands, and then did not say in a hurry, but after the salute was over, he looked at Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen dared to ask, is the person named Yan Zuo Shuchang, Bai Yan!" ”

Hearing Mao Jiao's words, Yingzheng was not surprised.

In the bamboo slip given to Mao Jiao at the beginning, only Yan was written, and now Mao Jiao is so determined, it is obvious that the young man did not lie to him.

"It's indeed Bai Yan!"

For Mao Jiao, Ying Zheng didn't intend to hide it.

Now it is in the thatched cottage of the Qin State.

There are two officials in Yingzheng's heart who can afford to be 'upright and admonishable', one is Meng Yu, and the other is Mao Jiao.

This is also the reason why Mao Jiao was allowed to go to Qi State.

When Mao Jiao was asked to go to Qi State, Mao Jiao would know about Bai Yan sooner or later.

I didn't say it at the beginning, but I just wanted Mao Jiao to guess it without knowing the specifics.

"Mao Shangqing told me what I saw and heard when I went to Qi this time."

Ying Zheng said.

Then he looked at the map, first instinctively glanced at the location of Zhao State, and then looked at the farthest Qi State, where the Linzi State of Qi was written.

"Back to the king! Wei Chen, before entering the water village, learned from the people of other villages that Yan! ”

Mao Jiao arched his hand and said.

In a word, Ying Zheng looked at Mao Jiao very unexpectedly.

What does that mean?

Yan is in Linzi, Qi country, very famous? Or is it famous in the village of Zhouzhuang?

However, then, Mao Jiao's words completely surprised Yingzheng.

In the huge study, hundreds of candles light up the walls.

Mao Jiao slowly said what he had seen and heard in the village, the words of the villagers and the women.

Ying Zheng looked at the map, and the young Bai Yan he had seen at the beginning came to his mind, and at this time, Bai Yan's past when he was a child unconsciously appeared.

The figure of a young man being ridiculed by the villagers in the village due to his frail health came to Yingzheng's mind.

When I heard the old woman, I heard the old woman's words, 'My grandson will be better than you!' There will definitely be a Ming monarch and a virtuous king who knows my grandson, and Feng Qing will pay homage to the general! Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing.

Is this referring to oneself?

It was also at this time that Ying Zheng also understood why the young man would go to Qin alone from Qi State, and why he had to enlist in the army after pretending to be the son of the fine man and gaining the trust of the Bai family.

Giving up the compensation given by the Bai family, the wealth brought by the Bai family, he did not hesitate to devote himself to being the first to die.

"Mao Shangqing, have you ever seen that old woman?"

Ying Zheng looked at Mao Jiao.

At this moment, even if he is a king of a country, when he hears this touching thing between his ancestors and grandchildren, he can't help but have slightly red eyes.

"Back to the king, Weichen specially went to see the old woman!"

Mao Jiao heard Ying Zheng's inquiry and nodded.

Not to mention Yingzheng, when he heard it, his eyes were red.

"The old woman is old and seriously ill, and she has moved to a small garden in Linzi of Qi State, but the small garden is not"

Mao Jiao told Yingzheng all the Xiaoyuan he saw in the alley and the serious illness of the old woman.

When Ying Zheng heard that he was sick, his brows furrowed slightly.

It wasn't until he heard that Tian Ding's beloved daughter, Tian Feiyan, also appeared in Xiaoyuan, that Ying Zheng's brows relaxed.

For Tian Ding's daughter, Bai Yan was also mentioned in the bamboo slips at the beginning.

When Mao Jiao talked about Tian Ding's daughter, he specially observed Ying Zheng, and saw that Ying Zheng did not react, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"When the old woman learned that her grandson had become the chief of the left concubine in the Qin State, her old face burst into tears, and she kept kneeling on the ground and said that the king was the king of the ages, but when the old woman sent Mao Jiao out of the alley, she asked Mao Jiao not to tell Bai Yan about being seriously ill."

Mao Jiao said to Ying Zheng.

Mao Jiao didn't say the rest of the matter, because what he said earlier was enough.

Seeing that Yingzheng didn't ask, Mao Jiao continued to talk about the young man's experience, including when he was young, he was forced to be a mortem and share the hard work of the family.

Mao Jiao also told Ying Zheng that he had gone to see the young man's parents.

After a long time.

Mao Jiao just finished speaking.

"Your Majesty, with General Bai Yan's ability in Shangjun, the king will be famous for eternity in the future."

Mao Jiao said to Yingzheng.

This sentence is absolutely true, Ying Zheng reuses Bai Yan, Bai Yan can serve the Qin State by exerting his talents, and in the future, the old woman, Bai Yan, and the king will achieve a good reputation through the ages.

This reputation is definitely not weaker than the once Zhao country's unique scenery of 'will be harmonious'!

At the beginning, Zhao Guo's 'peace with each other', as well as his move to Qin, made the reputation of King Zhao Huiwen spread all over the world.

In the future, if the world knows the timing of Bai Yan, they will also be excited.

"This matter cannot be spread for the time being."

Ying Zheng heard Mao Jiao's words and said with a smile.

The other ministers touted, just listening to it comfortably and joyfully, but Mao Jiao opened his mouth to flatter, that is not ordinary, if Yingzheng remembers it well, this is the second time.

But for now.

Yingzheng is not in a hurry to say it.

The higher Bai Yan's ability, the later these things get out, the better, and only now will Han Yiguo be destroyed.

One day, Bai Yan can grow up and pacify other vassal states for him, and when the time comes, these deeds can be better reflected.

"My grandson will be better than you! There will definitely be a Ming monarch and a virtuous king who knows my grandson, and Feng Qing will pay homage to the general! ”

Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile when he thought of the old woman's words.

Looking at Linzi of Qi on the map, Ying Zheng had not expected it before.

The boy had been through so many tribulations.

There is such a good elder.
