Inside Luoyang City.

Bai Yan didn't have time to wait for the letter to come back, but he got an order from the eunuch, and Yingzheng gave the order, and continued to rush to Handan the next day.

"Wechen obeys!"

Bai Yan was in the courtyard, heard the eunuch's words, and bowed to the eunuch.

After receiving the edict from the eunuch's hand with both hands, Bai Yan looked at the eunuch in front of him.

"Confessor!"

Bai Yan saluted again.

Seeing the eunuch's polite return of the salute, Bai Yan thought about it.

"Can the king be in the palace of Luoyang?"

Bai Yan asked.

According to normal expectations, it should not be so soon, and now that the edict was suddenly sent, Bai Yan was a little puzzled, what was going on.

"General Huibai, Wang Shangying is accompanying Mrs. Zheng at this time to play in the Luoyang Palace!"

The Confessor said to Bai Yan.

Hear the words.

Bai Yan frowned slightly, Mrs. Zheng?

When he left Xianyang, he served as the escort on this trip, but he had never heard of Mrs. Zheng accompanying him.

"And who is Mrs. Zheng?"

Bai Yan thought for a while, looked at the necessitator and asked.

For this woman who suddenly appeared, Bai Yan didn't receive any news at all.

"My lord, that Mrs. Zheng is a well-known beauty in Luoyang City, born in a famous family, and is the youngest daughter of the famous Confucian Duke Zheng.

The Confessor explained.

Then the confessor informed Bai Yan of the original process one by one, so that Bai Yan could rest assured that there was no need to worry about the origin of Gong Zheng and Mrs. Zheng, Lord Ying Kan had already investigated clearly.

"Thank you!"

Bai Yan nodded, full of gratitude, and returned the salute to the confessor.

Bai Yan then invited the confessor to sit for a while, but was politely refused.

Bai Yan personally sent the confessor out of the mansion.

In front of the mansion.

Bai Yan looked at the back of the departing Confessor, and his heart was full of concerns.

"Go and get Yan Mao over!"

Bai Yan turned to the mansion and said.

"No!"

The subordinate hurriedly surrendered his hand.

After returning to the mansion, Bai Yan came to the study, stood by the window of the study, and looked at the scenery outside the window.

It was only at this time that Bai Yan suddenly discovered that from receiving the order to the later arrangement, he had been ignoring one problem, and that was Yingzheng.

As the king of Qin, Ying Zheng has a noble status, and the news that he left Xianyang for Handan has long been known.

Whether it is those who are trying to take the opportunity to turn over and enjoy the glory and wealth, or the current Zheng Gong offering his daughter, without exception, they will not let go of the opportunity to travel to Yingzheng.

It is precisely this that is the biggest omission of this trip.

Because Bai Yan can mobilize all the iron cavalry soldiers and can resist everyone, but he does not have half of the power, and it involves Yingzheng.

Next to the window.

Bai Yan pondered, and was not sure whether that Mrs. Zheng was friend or foe.

And now that Mrs. Zheng has accompanied Yingzheng's identity, Ying Kan has investigated, and he has no right to interfere.

"General!"

Outside the study, Yan Mao slowly walked in and came to Bai Yan's side to bow his hand.

"There is an edict from the king of Fangcai, and we will set off tomorrow and continue to Handan!"

Bai Yan looked out the window.

Inform Yan Mao of the edict he had just gotten.

"Huh?"

When Yan Mao heard Bai Yan's words, he looked surprised and didn't prepare for anything.

So fast?

However, after coming back to his senses, Yan Mao looked at Bai Yan and immediately realized that this sudden edict had disrupted all the general's deployments.

Come to think of it.

Yan Mao gave up his hand to Bai Yan.

"The last general will go to the camp and get the soldiers ready!"

The feast is open

mouth said.

Although he was surprised by this sudden edict, Yan Mao knew that the military order could not be violated.

Since the king had already given the order to the generals, he would go and make the soldiers ready to leave tomorrow.

"Wait a minute!"

Bai Yan said, then turned around and looked at Yan Mao.

"Later, I will go to General Yang's place, and then go to the Luoyang Palace to see the king, there is a certain possibility of going to the palace, it is the enemy's plan, you will be in the mansion for me, keep an eye on Luoyang City."

Bai Yan instructed.

The reason why Fang Cai did not leave with the confessor was that Bai Yan was afraid that this was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

After all, as long as he leaves the mansion, if there is any serious mistake in Xianyang City, as the main general, Bai Yan will also be implicated.

"No!"

When Yan Mao heard Bai Yan's words, he knew what Bai Yan meant, and hurriedly bowed his hand.

After the ceremony.

Yan Mao watched Bai Yan prepare to leave and thought about it.

"General, is there something wrong?"

Yan Mao asked.

Bai Yan didn't speak, just shook his head at Yan Mao.

Inside Luoyang City.

Bai Yan was dressed in the official uniform of the Qin State and sat in the carriage, and after a long time, he came to the mansion of Yang Duan and the old general.

The carriage stopped, Bai Yan was not in a hurry to get out of the carriage, but kept sitting in the carriage waiting for something.

"General, there are quite a few people following!"

An iron cavalry soldier was outside the carriage and whispered.

When Bai Yan heard this, there was no accident.

"Arrange the soldiers, go and follow those people!"

Bai Yan opened his mouth and said, and after finishing speaking, he got up and walked out of the carriage.

Those who are following should be the eyes of the scholars, Luoyang City is so big, there are many scholars, and some of the relationships between the scholars are intertwined, without evidence, Bai Yan does not dare to make a rash move.

However, it is not difficult to find out the clan and power behind it through those people.

Bai Yan knew that the iron cavalry soldiers who had been on the border all the year round were far stronger than these warriors in terms of detecting information and tracking.

Looking at the mansion in front of him.

Bai Yan stepped forward with a cronie wrapped in cloth, and after informing the servant of his identity in the mansion, he was quickly brought into the mansion by the servant.

Then he followed the servant all the way to the study and saw General Yang wearing an official uniform.

Inside the study.

Bai Yan looked at the old general Yang who got up, and hurriedly bowed his hand.

"Bai Yan, meet Old General Yang!"

Bai Yan opened his mouth and said.

When General Yang saw Bai Yan, he naturally didn't have too much politeness, and after nodding slightly, he returned the salute and motioned for Bai Yan to sit down.

Bai Yan took the cloth wrap from his cronies, and then put it on the wooden table.

Under the puzzled gaze of General Yang, Bai Yan lifted his official uniform, knelt down, and opened the cloth wrap.

"What is this?"

General Yang looked at the more than 20 bamboo slips wrapped in the cloth, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were full of doubts.

"Old General Yang, these are all messages sent by the guards of the cities along the way between Luoyang and Handan!"

Bai Yan didn't hide it, said bluntly, and then stretched out his hand and motioned for Old General Yang to pick it up and watch.

In Bai Yan's gaze.

Although General Yang didn't understand why Bai Yan brought these bamboo slips, he still looked at them with doubts.

After a long time.

After General Yang finished reading all the bamboo slips and put down the last roll of bamboo slips, his wrinkled old face slowly looked at Bai Yan on the other side of the wooden table.

"Bai Yan, are you suspicious that these news are all fake?"

Old General Yang asked softly.

Among these messages, it was reported that soldiers had been sent to guard the way, and everything was fine.

However, since Bai Yan brought here, it proves that Bai Yan does not believe in these news.

really

。

Under the gaze of Old General Yang, Bai Yan pondered for a few breaths and nodded slowly.

"It's not that Bai Yan is suspicious of my Qin State officials, but worried, these news seem to be intentionally sent to me Bai Yan to show me and make me feel at ease."

Bai Yan said.

Speaking of this, Bai Yan's eyebrows were full of worry.

It was also in front of General Yang that Bai Yan spoke so bluntly, if it was another person, Bai Yan would not say it so clearly.

"In the past, there was only one county in Han Land, and there were many scholars who secretly opposed Qin, Bai Yan didn't believe that those scholars in Zhao Kingdom would abide by their duties!"

Bai Yan explained, and while talking, he also mentioned the things in Yingchuan County in the past.

This is also to tell Yang Duan and the old general that there are so many anti-Qin forces in the place of Han Di, where the palm is big, not to mention that there are more and more wealthy countless scholars on Zhao Di.

"Did you say anything?"

When Yang Duan and the old general heard Bai Yan's words, they suddenly asked.

Bai Yan thought about it and told him about Yingkan.

After all that's said.

Bai Yan saw Yang Duan and the old general shaking their heads.

"I'm glad you were in charge of this trip!"

Yang Duan and the old general said with emotion in their tones.

When Bai Yan heard this, his eyes looked straight at Yang Duan and the old general.

Because Bai Yan knew that the meaning of General Yang's words was obviously to agree with his thoughts and speculate.

"In the past, I was in Yingchuan!"

Old General Yang spoke, looking at the Qin characters on the bamboo slips in his hand, and a trace of melancholy appeared on his cheeks.

"Why didn't the old man know that Korea was just destroyed by the Qin State, and there must be many anti-Qin people in the Korean land.......

General Yang said.

Speaking of the original Yingchuan incident, General Yang's eyes fell into memories.

Then General Yang told Bai Yan.

When he was ordered to lead the army of Qin and prepare to go north from Yingchuan County, he had been sending people to inquire about the news, and most of the news at that time was the same as in front of him, but what happened after that was completely opposite.

Inside the study.

Bai Yan knelt quietly behind the wooden table, listening to Yang Duan and the old general talk about what happened in Yingchuan County at that time.

After General Yang finished speaking.

Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at these bamboo slips, and finally confirmed his guess.

The quieter and more stable it is, the more it looks like it is behind the safe and sound, and the more it shows that the forces behind the scenes are huge.

This trip did not come to General Yang in vain.

With the words of the old general, Bai Yan didn't have much confidence in his heart, and he had more, at least he went to see Yingzheng, no matter what, he would not regret it.

"But now, how are you going to convince the king?"

Yang Duan and the old general looked across the wooden table, and the young Bai Yan asked softly.

At this moment, Yang Duan and the old general were full of relief.

The same mistake, the young Bai Yan did not follow his old path, and when he was confused, he came to the mansion to see him.

But in the same way, General Yang also knows very well that the most important problem at the moment is how to persuade the king.

Think back to the beginning.

Old General Yang was also puzzled and stopped again.

At that time, General Yang knew very well that it was impossible for Yingzheng, all the generals, all the civil and military officials, and the big battalion guards in other places to stop because of his doubts.

At present, Bai Yan wants to be like this, and the journey to Handan is impossible for Bai Yan to stop because of a doubt and a guess, so that more than 100,000 guards, laborers, and the Xianyang defenders, and even Yingzheng and the accompanying officials all stop.

"If you need an old man, you can speak!"

Old General Yang looked at Bai Yan's worried appearance and spoke.

Bai Yan shook his head.

"Thank you, old general!"

Bai Yan arched his hand to Old General Yang and said, I came here this time mainly to ask General Yang's opinion.

Today's situation is very special, Bai Yan is not stupid, and he will definitely not let General Yang get involved in this matter, otherwise if something goes wrong, not only will he be affected, but General Yang will also be dragged down for no reason.

This kind of loss-making thing, Bai Yan will not do it.

If something goes wrong, you can't get it all in.

"Old general, Bai Yan will take his leave first and go to the palace to meet the king!"

After thinking clearly, Bai Yan slowly got up and said goodbye to General Yang.

Seeing this, General Yang also got up and saluted Bai Yan in return.

"If you need it, you can send someone to inform the old man!"

General Yang sent Bai Yan outside the study, and under Bai Yan's refusal, he stood in place and instructed Bai Yan.

Bai Yan nodded, saluted Old General Yang again, and then left.

Outside the door.

Yang Duan and the old general stood in place like this, looking at Bai Yan's figure, and left with the maid.

After a few breaths, the courtyard was quiet.

At this time, a footstep came to mind behind Yang Duan and the old general, and the old general Yang heard the movement and did not look back.

"Eldest brother, this young man's achievements in the future will definitely be good!"

Old General Yang said softly.

And the person who came out of the study was Yang Xian, who had a gap between Bai Yan and Bai Yan in Shangjun a year ago.

Bai Yan couldn't have imagined that in Fang Caizhi's study, in addition to him and Yang Duanhe, Yang Xian was also hiding in the study.

At this time, compared with a year ago, Yang Xian no longer has the vigor of that time, and under the official on his head, there seems to be more gray hair on the coiled hair.

"Hmm!"

Yang Xian looked at the courtyard in the distance, his eyes full of complexity.

He had already seen the bamboo slips on the wooden table, and he had to say that he would not have any doubts about changing to his eldest son or second son, even anyone, including himself, would not have any doubts after receiving these news.

But that young man would have doubts, and even came here with bamboo slips to ask to see his brother Yang Duanhe.

Look at it all.

Thinking back to what happened in Shangjun at the beginning, Yang Xian's heart was full of regret and helplessness.

At that time, when we met for the first time, who would have thought that this teenager would be so keen.

"Brother, put down the mustard! Whether it's for Yang Xiong, or our Yang family. Moreover, as an official, Yang Xi's kid has been in contact with scholars in other places all the year round, so it is inevitable that he will not be involved in the future."

Yang Duanhe turned around and looked at his eldest brother.

Knowing that the king came to Luoyang, the eldest brother came to Luoyang early in the morning to wait, and he also saw the king yesterday, and just now, when he learned that Bai Yan asked to see, the elder brother would rather stand behind the bookshelf than see Bai Yan.

From this, it is known that in the eldest brother's heart, he still did not let go of the mustard he had for Bai Yan at the beginning.

Outside the study.

When Yang Xian heard his brother's words, his face was full of hesitation.

Bai Yan had a life-saving grace for Yang Yan, and he also helped his brother in Xianyang, Yang Xian already knew this, but for Bai Yan, Yang Xian always had a hurdle in his heart.

"Good!"

In the end, after Yang Xian thought of his eldest son and second son, he nodded lightly.

The Yang family can't be divided, and the younger brother is right, in the future, the Yang family is likely to have a time to ask for Bai Yan.

At his age, he is about to enter the loess, and he should not affect his descendants because of himself.

And at the beginning.......

"It's me who forgets my heart!"

Yang Xian looked up from the courtyard, looked at the blue sky, and muttered in his heart.

If he hadn't been prejudiced against Bai Yan at the beginning, everything would have been completely different.

With this thought, the depression that had been suppressed in Yang Xian's heart suddenly disappeared and he relaxed.

"But this time

Whether he can deal with those warrior forces is still unknown!"

Yang Xian said.

Then he retracted his gaze and looked in the direction that Bai Yan had left.

"Those forces on this trip are no weaker than the ones you encountered at the beginning, and even surpass!"

Yang Xian touched his long beard, took a deep breath, and sighed.
