Under heavy rain.

The entire Shanwu City was hidden in a hazy rain and fog, accompanied by thunder in the sky from time to time, and under a rain, it brought hope to all the people of Zhao State.

After all, if there is still a drought in the coming year, I don't know how many people will not be able to hold on.

It is not easy to survive these two years under the drought, after all, the drought is not like any other, and the longer the disaster lasts, the more people will die.

The county warden's mansion.

In the early morning, Bai Yan woke up from his sleep and lay on the bed listening to the sound of rain on the eaves.

The rain continued overnight.

After Bai Yan got up, he came to the door and opened the door.

Watch the eaves continue to fall in rows of rain.

Lazily walked out of the door, raised his hand and stretched out, Bai Yan looked at the maid who was already waiting outside the door, and went to prepare the toiletries.

"I'm going back to Xianyang!"

Bai Yan sighed with emotion.

The last time I left Xianyang, it was more than half a year in the blink of an eye, and I was leading the troops on the battlefield outside in the past six months, and now I think of returning to Xianyang, but I am a little uncomfortable for a while.

Looking at the scenery in front of him, Bai Yan naturally knew that after he left Yanmen, the scholars who got the news would definitely be thinking of a way to take the opportunity to do something.

At the moment, Bai Yan's only peace of mind is.

The world still doesn't know that Wei Lao is in his mansion, and Xun Shuo, who is a scholar, has also become his staff.

With Wei Lao and Xun Shuo here, even if he is not in Yanmen, there should be no problems in Yanmen.

An hour later.

Bai Yan hurriedly ate breakfast, and then talked with Wei Lao in the mansion.

At noon, as the rain became smaller, Bai Yan saw this, and after seeing the firewood and discussing matters with Wei Lao, he came to the place where Zhao Qiu lived in the mansion.

After all, you have to leave Yanmen.

Bai Yan naturally wanted to see Zhao Qiu.

Inside the yard.

Zhao Qiu was in the pavilion, under the service of the maid, drinking tea, watching the pool outside the pavilion because of the heavy rain overnight, the rain began to fill the pool.

Bai Yan's arrival made Zhao Qiu put down the teacup.

"Why are you interested in meeting me today!"

Zhao Qiu turned his head and looked at Bai Yan.

came to the mansion for many days, although Bai Yan came to look for her a lot, but most of them came at night, and in the eyes of outsiders, Bai Yan came to do bad things to her.

At first, she also thought so, after all, Bai Yan was also a man, and in the case of power, naturally there was no need to hide his lustful heart.

Until the first night.

Bai Yan came to her room, and after letting the maid leave, he came to the wooden table in the room under her gaze, knelt down, and then took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms.

Looking at Bai Yan, who was looking at the bamboo slips with taste, Zhao Qiu was a little at a loss at that moment.

After reading the bamboo slips, the boy left.

Then the second and third time

Every time.

Bai Yan would come to her at night.

However, every time after the maid left, the first thing Bai Yan did after closing the door was to look alone under the candlelight, holding a bamboo slip.

Many times in a row.

Zhao Qiu also gradually got used to the young man who would come to her room at night, but not touch her, and look at the bamboo slips intently.

"I'm going to be away for a while!"

Bai Yan came to Zhao Qiu's side, and then went to the opposite side of Zhao Qiu's wooden table, and slowly knelt down and sat down.

Turning his head, he looked out at the view outside the gazebo and at the pool filled with rainwater.

The water is muddy.

But as soon as the rain comes, sooner or later, this mansion will regain its former luxury.

"Why did you come to tell me?"

When Zhao Qiu heard Bai Yan's words, he was a little surprised that Bai Yan would leave, but on his stunning face, he showed a boring look, and he didn't seem to care about Bai Yan leaving.

"Afraid that I'll be playing tricks in secret when you're leaving?"

Zhao Qiu turned his head to look into the distance and said lightly.

Hear the words.

Bai Yan smiled.

"Definitely not, I must believe you, this trip is just to tell you, I want to go to Handan City during this time, and I can't accompany you during this time."

Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu and said, after watching the maid beside him pour tea for herself, she took the tea and took a sip gently.

"It's so thick-skinned!"

Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan on the other side of the wooden table and couldn't help but say a word.

When I came into contact with Bai Yan before, I felt that this young boy was scheming, talented but also introverted.

After a long period of contact, Zhao Qiu found out.

This young man is even more shameless than ordinary people.

"No wonder I was able to win Wu Yunfang's heart in the first place!"

Zhao Qiu finished speaking.

Bai Yan, who was drinking tea on the other side of the wooden table, almost didn't squirt out the tea, coughed twice, and looked at Zhao Qiu helplessly.

In the matter of Wu Yun, Bai Yan didn't want to talk to Zhao Qiu more, after all, he did have some reasons.

Although it saved Wu Yun's life, the deception behind it was indeed deception.

Inside the gazebo.

After being quiet for a long time, Zhao Qiu and Bai Yan were on the same wooden table, enjoying the muddy and muddy scenery outside.

Both are clear.

This scenery is in the world, no matter which princes are in the country, it is not a beautiful scenery, and it is not even worth a look.

But for this former homeland of Zhao Kingdom, this scenery is incomparably precious.

"Why did you go to Handan?"

Zhao Qiu finally asked softly.

When Bai Yan heard this, he turned his head to look at Zhao Qiu, and was a little surprised that Zhao Qiu would actually ask him.

After all, it stands to reason that Zhao Qiu would not ask such a thing.

"I don't know yet! I guess it's probably preparing to welcome the king to Zhao Kingdom. ”

Bai Yan explained softly.

In the matter of going to Handan, Bai Yan deliberately deceived Zhao Qiu.

After all, looking at the stunning woman in front of him, Bai Yan was still a little worried that he had just come to the mansion, and it didn't take long for him to go back to Xianyang, in case Zhao Qiu had any careful thoughts.

As for Ying Zheng's whereabouts, Bai Yan doesn't need to hide it, because as the king of Qin, Ying Zheng's departure from Qin is a big deal, and all aspects of it must be notified and arranged.

Therefore, it is very likely that the news that Ying Zheng was going to come to Zhao State, when this edict was delivered to him, had already spread to other places and other vassal states.

"You're not afraid that Guo Kai will see you?"

Zhao Qiu grabbed his head and looked at Bai Yan.

In Handan, in addition to some scholars, Guo Kai's villain at the beginning was now the secretary of the Qin State.

But I have also seen Bai Yan with my own eyes, who was originally named Xu Zixiao.

"Take it one step at a time! You can't help but go. ”

The first half of the sentence was a little helpless, but in the second half of the sentence, Bai Yan also smiled freely.

Handan and his party, Bai Yan is destined to not be able to escape, as a rebel against Zhao and Qin, in addition to Li Mu and the siege of Handan, Yingzheng will definitely summon Guo Kai.

And he will inevitably meet Guo Kai at that time.

Inevitable.

"I have a hunch that sooner or later you will send someone to kill Guo Kai!"

Zhao Qiu saw Bai Yan's appearance and said a word.

Thinking about the young man in front of him, Zhao Qiu knew that he didn't look at this man's harmless appearance, his temperament felt gentle, restrained, and not arrogant or impatient.

But when it comes to things, his courage is no less than anyone's.

Whether it was when he was in the Qin State, Yu Shangjun made the burning of the city that shocked the world, or fought with Li Mu later, dared to face Zhao Cong in the Zhishui River, and defeated the Zhao army.

Even the many nobles were executed for plundering and selling.

These are all clear to Zhao Qiu.

Guo Kai is likely to die!

"Don't say you don't dare, like killing Guo Kai, you can use Yifang and others!"

Zhao Qiu said this, turned his head and continued to look outside the pavilion, his beautiful eyes flashed a trace of sadness: "As an old general of Zhao Bianqi, the existence of Li Mu's subordinates, Yifang and other generals in the past, it is not a good thing for you, let Yifang kill Guo Kai, Yifang will be grateful to you, and you will die willingly in your hands afterwards, you justifiably get rid of Yifang and others, whether it is for the Qin court, for you, for Zhao Bianqi, this is a good thing." ”

Inside the gazebo.

Zhao Qiu's complaint made Bai Yan, who was drinking tea, slowly put down the teacup and watched that the rain outside the pavilion had slowly stopped.

"Then did you know that being too smart is not a good thing!"

Bai Yan said with a smile.

Looking at Zhao Qiu, Bai Yan didn't feel guilty at all about deceiving Zhao Qiu, this woman was too smart and saw too thoroughly.

After Wei Lao knew his identity as Xu Zixiao.

In the subsequent conversation, Wei Lao also talked about Handan, in which in terms of how to deal with Guo Kai, whether it was Wei Lao or him, the best result was finally obtained as Zhao Qiu said.

This move can not only eliminate some hidden dangers in the court of the Qin State, but also kill multiple birds with one stone and solve many problems.

Looking at the maid who came from afar.

"General! It's all set! ”

Bai Yan heard the maid's words, nodded, and then slowly stood up.

The rain has stopped, and it's time to go.

Looking at Zhao Qiu, who was looking at himself across the wooden table, Bai Yan showed a hint of a smile.

"Don't worry! With you, I'll never let that happen! ”

After Bai Yan put away his smile, he said softly.

When Zhao Qiu heard Bai Yan's words, her eyes were full of surprise, and she looked at Bai Yan who turned to leave, she didn't understand what Bai Yan meant.

Looking at Bai Yan's departing back, Zhao Qiu came back to his senses and looked at the cup of tea on the wooden table that had not yet been drunk.

Outside the mansion.

Yan Mao had already led the soldiers and arrived outside the mansion.

The Iron Cavalry army was already waiting outside the city, and according to Bai Yan's order, they did not enter the city.

Accompanied by the gate of the mansion, Bai Yan, who was wearing a Qin armor and sword, slowly walked out.

Yan Mao, Qi , Feng Nian and others, along with other iron cavalry generals, gave way one after another and gave up their hands to Bai Yan.

"General!"

"General!!"

In the eyes of all the iron cavalry generals, Bai Yan nodded.

"Out of town!"

Bai Yan ordered, and then walked through the crowd and stepped onto the war horse.
