Yeongcheon-gun.

In the dark night, along with the restaurants in the city, there are constantly laughter and laughter.

Late at night, several well-dressed figures left the restaurant, said goodbye with a smile, and got into their own carriages.

In the dim darkness of the night.

One of the carriages, which was driving through the streets, suddenly had an arrow shot out of nowhere, and the groom who drove the carriage and the two servants with candles were hit by the arrows in an instant, and they fell slowly behind the carriage.

Such a movement naturally alarmed the people in the carriage.

Just as the middle-aged man in the carriage lifted the curtain, he saw seven or eight men in black in the next second, looking at him with sharp blades in their hands.

"Who are you? I am the chief of the Nine Mile Pavilion! ”

The middle-aged man instinctively said a word.

I thought that after finishing speaking, these black-clothed people would show fear on their faces, after all, he was an official of the Qin State, and killing the officials of the Qin State was a serious crime.

However, when he saw that these men in black did not have any expression, the man had a vague bad premonition.

Really.

The next moment, a man suddenly raised his crossbow from the side, and pulled the trigger on him without hesitation.

In the frightened gaze of the middle-aged man.

Shout~!

With a muffled grunt.

Under the gaze of several men in black, the middle-aged man was shot in the center of the eyebrow by an arrow and fell directly on the carriage.

As the curtain of the car was lowered, it was blocked by the bleeding corpse.

Several men of the night turned and left.

The other side.

At the pass of Xianyuan Pass, beside the bonfire, a man was patrolling with a sword in his hand and armor, looking at the more than 20 Qin officials around him, and his eyes were looking ahead.

And at this very moment.

The man suddenly felt a faint discomfort in his chest, and he didn't care about it as a general at first.

However, it didn't take long for the discomfort to suddenly turn into a sharp pain, which filled his cheeks with pain.

The general turned around and was about to beckon the other soldiers to come, but before he could speak, he slowly knelt on the ground, foaming at the mouth.

Until this time.

He suddenly remembered that an hour earlier, a colleague had come to him with money and food.

I remembered the gold I had hidden in my room.

"Your Excellency!"

"Your Excellency!!"

After falling, the general kept convulsing, and the voice in his ears gradually became confused.

Not for a while.

The general of the Qin army lay motionless on the ground, lost his breath, and turned into a corpse.

Yeongcheon-gun.

When the morning rose, several war reports were transmitted to the Gongcheng, and when the Gongcheng City Guard and the City Captain Du Ying saw the dead officials, they hurriedly led the soldiers to investigate.

The people who were caught in the end were either vendettas or all from the Zhao Kingdom.

Two days later.

Cheng Gao.

In the mansion of the city guard, Bai Yan knelt and sat in the pavilion.

"My lord, this is a secret letter from Gongcheng!"

A man quietly came to Gouze's side and handed a bamboo slip to Gouze.

After Gou Ze took it, he asked the man to go down, and handed the bamboo slip to Bai Yan.

than a year ago.

Now, Gou Ze has been giving Bai Yan news in secret, so now he and Bai Yan are no longer as strange as they were at the beginning.

However, after becoming an official of the Qin State, Gou Ze not only did not lose weight, but gained a lot of weight, obviously in this year, many people are trying to collude with each other.

"My lord! There is a businessman surnamed Feng outside the mansion, asking to see your lord! ”

A doorman hurriedly came to Gou Ze and knelt on the ground to report.

"Let him in!"

Hook commanded.

At this time, Bai Yan had already finished reading the bamboo slips, and his heart was a lot more stable.

He had already asked people to send the letter to Xianyang and hand it over to Tai Jing, and as for the officials who dealt with it, they were all the last people to take over with Lu Qi, among whom he specially framed the poisoned person to Zhao Guo.

Even if in the future, Tai Jing inadvertently went to Zhao State and was bribed, and he could only know that a person from Xu Zixiao was assassinated and poisoned in Handan, Zhao State.

At the moment, whether it is Zhao Guo or Yingchuan County, it is already in chaos.

At that time, whether it is Gongzi Jia or Tai Jing, he will not be suspicious.

A moment later.

Wan Feng Chengcheng's figure guarding Feng Wen, under the leadership of the servant, came to the pavilion.

Bai Yan and Gou got up.

After the servant withdrew, the three of them bowed to each other.

"General Bai, Lord Gou!"

Feng Wen saluted.

After Bai Yan and Gou Ze returned the salute, the three of them sat in the pavilion.

"Lord Feng wants to leave Yingchuan?"

Bai Yan looked at Feng Wen, and after knowing that he was coming to Yingchuan County, Feng Wen wrote to him and bluntly said that he wanted to leave Yingchuan.

Gou Ze also looked at Feng Wen, he didn't understand why Feng Wen wanted to leave Yingchuan.

Although the Feng family behind Feng Wen is not as noble as the extremely noble Feng family in the Qin State, the connections and foundation behind Feng Wen have been operating in Wanfeng City for several generations, and they should not be underestimated.

If you leave today and want to come back in the future, I'm afraid there will be not much of those connections and foundations left.

It's totally not worth the cost!

"Yes! Now there is chaos in Yingchuan County, and Feng Wen has no intention of participating in it, just seeking to protect himself. ”

When Feng Wen saw Bai Yan asking, his eyes were full of helplessness, and there was also a hint of ease.

When Bai Yan came, he was still sober, and he could get Bai Yan's help, and he took the initiative to surrender to the city, but it was only less than a year, and the past credit has now become like a knife, making it difficult for him to sleep and eat.

"General, although Feng Wen is in Wanfeng and has little contact with the scholars, he can know that some scholars have regarded Feng Wen as a thief and want to get rid of him as soon as possible."

Feng Wen explained, and then turned his head to look at Gou Ze: "Although it is hidden, presumably Lord Gou should have heard of it!" ”

Inside the gazebo.

Gou Ze faced Feng Wen's gaze and nodded.

"Someone did mention it, and at first Gou Ze thought it was just some villain."

After Gou finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yan.

In terms of connections, Gou Ze is not as well-informed as Feng Wen, so he has always thought that it is just the words of some rangers and doormen.

At this time, Gou Ze also roughly understood why Feng Wenhui wanted to leave Yingchuan, this was when there were signs of disaster, and he decisively chose to break his arm to survive.

"General Bai, Feng Wen just wants to live a peaceful life with his wife and children now, and I hope General Bai can help!"

In front of the wooden table, Feng Wen raised his hands and bowed to Bai Yan.

In the past, Feng Wen surrendered to Bai Yan because he had a handle and Korea survived under the attack of Qin, but since he had become Bai Yan's person, he hoped that Bai Yan could help him.

Although Feng Wen is also clear.

Now Yingchuan County is in chaos, and the matter of transfer is by no means simple, but right now, Bai Yan is the only person who can help him.

"Don't worry, Lord Feng, Bai Yan will definitely try his best to arrange it for Lord Feng!"

Bai Yan looked at Feng Wen Jili, and also raised his hand and said.

In Yingchuan County, among all his secret chess, only Feng Wen is half a Ming chess, and he is in a very dangerous situation.

Now that Feng Wen is staying in Yingchuan County, it is not of much use, it is better to find a way, through the operation of the Bai family, to see if Feng Wen can be transferred away, to Ba or Shu.

Wait for Feng Wen to secretly develop in Bashu.

In cooperation with him, he spent a lot of money to let those seriously injured and disabled soldiers go home.

Even though he is thousands of miles away from Bashu, he can still know the news of Bashu.

"Thank you, General Bai!"

Feng Wen was relieved to see Bai Yan agreeing to help, and looked at Bai Yan with gratitude.

"Thank you?"

Bai Yan said with a smile.

Feng Wen looked at Bai Yan and knew what Bai Yan meant, so he stopped talking and raised his hand gratefully.

Bai Yan also raised his hand to return the salute.

An hour later.

Feng Wen, who came in disguise, didn't dare to stay for a long time, and left in a hurry after saying goodbye.

Bai Yan and Gou were in the pavilion, watching Feng Wen's departing figure.

"In the future, Lord Gou should also be careful, Yingchuan County will become more and more restless."

Bai Yan turned his head to look at Gou Ze.

Gou Ze heard Bai Yan's words and smiled.

"The general is at ease, in the eyes of others, I am different from Feng Wen, it was the general who led the Qin army into the city, and Gou Ze had to surrender, not Gou Ze took the initiative to surrender, so as long as the general protects Gou Ze, Gou Ze will be fine."

Gou Ze looked at Bai Yan and explained with a smile, and also took the opportunity to take a stand.

In Gou Ze's eyes, what he is most worried about is not here in Yingchuan, on the contrary, what worries him is actually Xianyang in the distant Qin State.

If it weren't for Bai Yan's letter, he wouldn't have thought of where Xianyang was, and King Yingzheng of Qin was so decisive.

So for Gou Ze, as long as Bai Yan doesn't have an accident.

He's safe here.

"It's good that Lord Gou is fine! Bai Yan promised Lord Gou, as long as Lord Gou is in need, Bai Yan will not shirk it, and in the future, Bai Yan will also help Lord Gou and enjoy glory and wealth! ”

Bai Yan heard Gou Ze's words, nodded, and smiled at Gou Ze.

Bai Yan knew clearly about the intimacy of Gou Ze a year ago, so Bai Yan also vouched for Gou Ze that he would help Gou Ze get glory and wealth for the rest of his life.

Bai Yan is clear about the rules of the person.

Nothing is more tempting to say anything than to speak out.

"Thank you, General Bai! With General Bai's words, if General Bai needs it in the future, he will never give up! ”

Gou Ze also excitedly bowed to Bai Yan.

Don't underestimate Bai Yan's words, this sentence, Gou Ze waited for a full year, a year ago, when Bai Yan was no more than a husband, he was determined to put his future on Bai Yan, who was born in the Bai family.

Gou Ze knew that his background was not as good as Feng Wen's, that is, this city guard had spent a lot of money to get it, and he didn't have the connections of the clan like Feng Wen.

After meeting Bai Yan, Gou Ze understood that Bai Yan was his opportunity, and he had been waiting for this sentence since then.

Now that he has finally received this promise, how can he not be excited!

At this time, Feng Nian had also come over and said that he was ready for the carriage.

"Master Gou, that Bai Yan is also going to leave Chenggao and come back to visit in the future!"

Bai Yan turned around and said to Gou Ze.

The matter has been dealt with, and now he has to return to Yanhe as soon as possible.

"Hook is sent to General Bai, please!"

Gou Ze hurriedly returned the salute, knowing that Bai Yan couldn't stay for a long time, so he didn't say anything to stay, but personally sent Bai Yan away.

Because he was afraid of being seen, Gou Ze did not go outside the mansion, but waited inside the mansion until the next person reported that the carriage had left, and Gou Ze nodded.

Back to the gazebo again.

Gou Ze called a beautiful one in his heart.

The promise that Bai Yan gave him just now was like a piece of honey, which made him intoxicated.

"Fortunately, I didn't collude with those warriors in the first place!"

Hook is emotional.

A few months ago, I saw the chaos in Yingchuan County, and it was false to say that I had no hesitation, but fortunately, I thought that Bai Yan was a child of the Bai family, and it was the Bai family standing behind him, and Bai Yan was now a general.

Gou Ze thought for a moment, and finally did not betray Bai Yan.

If he hadn't stabilized his mind and betrayed Bai Yan at the beginning, maybe it would have been a different situation now.

"My lord! And the general is gone? ”

At this time, I heard the voice of my concubine.

Gou turned around and smiled.

When the concubine stepped forward, Gou put his arms around his beautiful concubine.

"I asked you to go to General Bai's room for the past two days, and before General Bai asked you to go back to the room, he didn't do anything to you?"

Gou looked at his concubine with a smile.

Since Bai Yan came, he had no prepared rules, and after thinking about it, he felt that now in Chenggao, whether it was a restaurant or other women, he was not as good as his concubine.

In the end, Gou Ze thought about it and let his concubine go to Bai Yan's room.

After all, if Bai Yan likes it, this can be regarded as his favorite, and if he has status and wealth in the future, he will not be afraid of having no woman.

"Fortunately, General Bai is an upright person, and when he saw that the concubine was thinking about the adult, he didn't touch the concubine!"

The concubine explained to Gouze, leaned on Gouze's arms, and looked at Gouze flatteringly.

"Really?"

When Gou Ze heard the concubine's words, his eyes were full of smiles, and he didn't believe his concubine at all.

Although Bai Yan's appearance is not as good as those beautiful men, he can only be regarded as delicate, but Bai Yan is not only young, but more importantly, his birth and ability are far above ordinary people.

The concubine was not moved, he didn't believe it at all.

"My lord, who sent the bamboo slips?"

The concubine suddenly diverted the topic and said, looking at the bamboo slips on another wooden table in the distance.

Gou Ze felt that the concubine was weak, but the concubine's words also made him notice that Bai Yan seemed to have forgotten to take the bamboo slip away.

"Go get it!"

Gou asked the concubine to get it.

"It's ~ Your Excellency!"

Hearing Gou Ze's words, the concubine hurriedly said delicately, and then got up happily, picked up the bamboo slip on the wooden table from where Bai Yan was sitting, and brought it back to Gou Ze.

Gou took the bamboo slip and slowly opened it.

Regarding the murder, in fact, Gou Ze also knew that the city guard of Gongcheng and the city captain Du Ying were all Bai Yan's people.

However, when Gou Ze saw the contents, his eyes suddenly widened and his breath became short.

"What?"

Gou Ze suddenly closed the bamboo slip and shook his head in a trance: "No, it's not me, it's not Feng Wen!" ”

Gou Ze slowly lowered his head and looked at the bamboo slip in his hand.

Previously, he had always thought that those killers who killed people were all people from Gongcheng Xinsi and Du Ying.

But now, Xinsi and Du Ying, what they said in the letter, shows that Xinsi and Du Ying, like him, think that those killers are the ones he hooked upon.

Come to think of it.

Gou Ze still doesn't understand, Bai Yan is in Yingchuan County, and there are dark chess!

"Fortunately, I didn't collude with those warriors in the first place!"

The same sentence, but at the moment in Gou Ze's mouth, it is not the same meaning at all.

Fang Cai's words are out of self-interest, and for now, he is glad to have saved his life.

The hook is clear.

If he really betrayed Bai Yan at the beginning, maybe he would probably have become a corpse now.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

The concubine's words brought the sluggish Gou back to his senses.

Looking at the beautiful concubine, Gou Ze had already made up his mind at the moment that he must not hesitate in the future, and he had done so many things for Bai Yan, there was no way out.

At present, his only way out is to be secretly protected by Bai Yan.

"It's a pity!"

Hook sighed.

It's a pity that two days ago, Bai Yan didn't seem to look down on his beautiful concubine.

That's fine.

Maybe Bai Yan is disgusted with enjoying it.

Then the next time I meet a beauty, I will grab it in the house and keep it, and in the future, I will leave a lot of money and jewelry for Bai Yan.

Mid-July.

Under the scorching sun, Yao Jia's carriage drove slowly on the official road, and he saw a man who had been waiting for a long time, and stepped forward to salute.

Under Yao Jia's gaze, after the man finished saluting, he stepped forward with a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.

Yao Jia took the bamboo slip.

It is said that the army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the matter of infiltrating other countries to carry out discord is similar to this reason.

After all, he is different from others, he has been dividing other countries for the Qin State all the year round, and I don't know how much he wants to get rid of him.

Message.

Sometimes it's his life.

Yingzheng gave him so much money, and the customers he raised were already all over the world.

When he decided to go to Handan, he sent out a guest to monitor the news of Handan in advance.

"Huh? Xu Zixiao? ”

Yao Jia looked at the bamboo slip, this unfamiliar name, and frowned.

Among the scholars he knew, he had never known that among the Xu clan, there was a person named Xu Zixiao.

Moreover, the Xu family can get 50,000 grain millet, and it is in charge of Xu Zixiao, a disciple of the Xu family.

"Bai Yan?"

When I saw the back, I learned that Gongzijia's 50,000 grains were all from Xu Zixiao's hand, and I contacted Bai Yan to send a discordant plan.

This is too much of a coincidence, Yao Jia couldn't help but suspect at the first time that Xu Zixiao was played by Bai Yan.

After all, knowing that the death of Xinzheng Hanling was from Bai Yan, he no longer dared to despise Bai Yan.

But after reading it.

Yao Jia's brows tightened.

"Xu Zixiao was assassinated in Beishi, and he was secretly poisoned? The Imperial Doctor of Handan has no solution? ”

After reading it, Yao Jia looked thoughtful, shook his head, and then turned his head to look at the man.

"Is this message accurate?"

Yao Jia asked.

If Xu Zixiao is Bai Yan, then this matter is very serious, the body is so poisonous that even the imperial doctor of Handan has no solution, then it is very likely that Bai Yan has died in Handan.

"Lord Hui, this news is true!"

The man said to Yao Jia.

Hear the words.

Yao Jia retracted his gaze, thought about it, and finally decided.

"You will leave immediately, take me to the secret letter to Yanyou, and then hand it over to General Bai in person!"

Yao Jia looked at the man and said.

Asking the doorman to send the secret letter is not an important matter, but Yao Jia wants to know that Bai Yan is not in Yan at the moment.

Once Yao Jia was an official in the Zhao State, and later after the Qin State, secretly, Yao Jia did not take revenge in secret, so he came and went, and Yao Jia naturally knew about the ability of the Handan Imperial Doctor.

The poison in Xu Zixiao's body was so poisonous that even the doctors and imperial doctors in Handan couldn't do anything.

So.

If Bai Yan is not in Yanhe, and he can't contact Bai Yan after he arrives in Handan, then Bai Yan is likely to be Xu Zixiao, and he has been poisoned and died.

On the contrary, if the doorman went to Yanhe, he personally handed over the secret letter to Bai Yan, and saw that Bai Yan was safe and sound.

That proves that Xu Zixiao is someone else!
