Chapter 344: The Eve of the Killing
Inside the yard.
Although everyone didn't know what the warning in the young man's words meant, looking at Tian Wei's appearance, everyone knew that the young man was indeed a disciple of Jin Gong.
At this time. Originally, no one doubted Bai Yan's identity, and now no one would question his origin.
Although the Xu family is very mysterious, Tian Jin, the doctor of Qi, is famous all over the world.
"I didn't expect Jin Gong to have a disciple alive!"
Chen Xu, Huan Chu and others said with emotion.
Zhu Xun also nodded in agreement, at the beginning, Doctor Qi Tian Jin was upright, but he was framed and ordered by the King of Qi to be beheaded all over the house, which is embarrassing.
Everyone in the world thought that what Jin Gong had learned was peerless, but they didn't expect to see Jin Gong's disciple right now.
"Lord Xun has heard for a long time what Xu Junzi did in Handan in the past, and I am fortunate to see it today!"
The lord stepped forward and bowed to Bai Yan.
If it is a child of the Xu family with a deep background, it is enough for the master to get acquainted, then a Xu Zixiao who is a teacher of the Duke of Jin is enough to make the master pay attention to it.
And on the side, Jing Qi, Jing Shu, and even Dongguo Gao and Huan Chu were also enthusiastic about Bai Yan at this moment.
They are all children of the scholar clan.
Now that he knows that the young man is Jin Gong's beloved apprentice, the young man's status in the hearts of everyone is suddenly much higher.
After all, people in the world pay attention to an identity, background, teacher, status, and talent.
This order is almost the criterion for most people to measure a person, and with the understanding of everyone, the Xu family, who can get 50,000 grains, and the young age, can go to Handan on behalf of the Xu family, which is obviously valued by the elders of the clan, plus the study of Jin Gong.
After looking at this one by one, everyone has a general impression of Xu Zixiao in their hearts.
Inside the yard.
Bai Yan returned the salute to everyone one by one.
After the ceremony, under the leadership of the main sun, Bai Yan followed the group to the main hall and met the other scholars.
Inside the main hall.
In addition to the grandfather of the lord, there were several other nobles.
Under the introduction of the master, when the master and the men learned that Xu Zixiao was a closed disciple of Jin Gong, they were also full of surprise.
The lord was born in a big family, and he was a lot old, so he naturally went to Qi Country and visited Tian Jin, and now he learned that the young man was a disciple of Duke Jin, and out of nostalgia, he talked about some things in the past.
Duration.
The master didn't deliberately say anything wrong, but Bai Yan knelt behind the wooden table, listened and listened, and added two more sentences to what he remembered.
After some conversation, the lord nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing this, everyone in the main hall knew that this was the main elder who had confirmed that the young man was indeed a disciple of Jin Gong.
After Bai Yan and the young scholars were seated, the lord touched his long beard.
"In the blink of an eye, all those years have passed!"
The Lord Elder sighed, his face longing, and then looked at Bai Yan's pale cheeks.
"The poison in your body has not been removed?"
The Lord asked with a look of concern.
At this time, everyone in the lobby also looked at Bai Yan.
Under everyone's gaze, Bai Yan bowed to the lord elder, didn't say anything, looked helpless, and shook his head slightly.
This scene made several men from other clans feel sorry for the young man.
Everyone knows it.
It has been so long since the incident, and the toxicity in Xu Zixiao's body still remains, this is obviously not an ordinary poison, and the mysterious Xu family cannot be removed.
Everyone in the main hall felt that there was no hope for detoxification.
Suddenly.
Entering the main hall, Tian Wei, who had been quiet, knelt behind the wooden table with a contemplative face.
"After assassinating Yingzheng, Tian Wei took Zixiao to a place, maybe Tian Wei can remove the poison from Zixiao's body!"
Tian Wei suddenly spoke.
When Chen Xuan heard Tian Wei's words, he turned his head in surprise and looked at his friend.
Then Chen Xuan thought about it, but he could also understand Tian Wei's approach.
Although Mrs. Xu is an elder that Yan Dan respects very much, and it is very important, Xu Zixiao is also a disciple of Gong Jin, and it is normal for Tian Wei to help Xu Zixiao.
As Tian Wei's words fell.
In the lobby, everyone who was originally sitting looked at Tian Wei suspiciously.
Even Huan Chu, Dong Guo Gao, Jing Qi and others looked at Tian Wei with surprise.
"Brother Tian Wei, do you have a way?"
The corpse weir asked.
And beside the corpse weir, Wu Gao, who was kneeling, got up with excitement.
"If Jun Tian knows where the antidote is, please ask Jun Tian to speak up, Wu Gao is willing to leave immediately and go to get the antidote!"
Wu Gao said.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Zixiao, who was kneeling opposite, with a look of joy.
In Wu Gao's heart, the biggest heart disease and the biggest worry is the poison in Xu Zixiao's body, if he can remove the poison in Xu Zixiao's body, no matter what the price is, he is willing.
"Huh?"
When Bai Yan heard Tian Wei's words, he was also full of surprise, and when he saw Wu Gao's eyes looking at him, he was full of excitement and joy.
This moment.
Bai Yan felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the identity antagonism, if it weren't for the fact that he was a Qin general, and Wu Gao was determined to oppose Qin.
Maybe he and Wu Gao will become old friends who talk about everything.
Putting aside his position, Bai Yan also knows that there are few people in the world who can care about themselves as much as Wu Gao, and one less person is completely irreparable.
"This is a secret poison!"
Bai Yan didn't look at Wu Gao, but turned his head to look at Tian Wei and reminded.
What is a secret system, that is, except for the person who makes the poison, it is difficult for others to get the antidote.
And when he saw it, Tian Wei didn't answer.
Bai Yan was a little surprised, but soon, he reacted, and he had already guessed in his heart that Tian Wei was very likely to know that it was Mrs. Xu who assassinated him in the first place!
And looking at Tian Wei's appearance, it was not only Bai Yan who had this thought, but even the other scholars in the main hall, and even Wu Gao, who was just excited, had already reacted, and vaguely guessed in his heart that Tian Wei seemed to know who it was and sent someone to assassinate him in Handan.
"Tian Junzi! If Tian Junzi knew who assassinated Zixiao in the first place, please say it bluntly, Wu Gao is grateful! ”
Wu Gao bowed his hand to Tian Wei again, but this time, there was no smile on Wu Gao's face, and in his eyes, there was already a trace of anger when he looked at Tian Wei.
Tian Wei always knew who assassinated Xu Zixiao in the first place, but he didn't want to say it, which was in Wu Gao's eyes.
has quietly classified Tian Wei and the person who assassinated Zixiao.
That's the enemy!
"Brother Tian Sui! If you know, please speak up! ”
The corpse weir sat on the wooden table next to Wu Gao, and at this moment, he couldn't see that his friend Wu Gao had already moved his killing intent, and hurriedly looked at Tian Wei.
Change source app, view the latest chapters of the book on multiple sites at the same time. 】
At present, the corpse weir also doesn't understand why Tian Wei knows who assassinated Xu Zixiao and didn't say it before.
At the beginning, Xu Zixiao had a life-saving grace for Wu Gao and Wu Yun, if there was no Xu Zixiao, Wu Gao and Wu Yun would have died in Zhao Di long ago.
And when Wu Yun was humiliated by Wei Gongzi Wei, Xu Zixiao was the only one who stood up and did not hesitate to offend Gongzi Wei fake.
In this case.
Tian Wei should be clear, don't look at Wu Gao is not that kind of reckless man, but for Xu Zixiao, Wu Gao really dares to fight for his life, even if Tian Wei has Qi skills, even if Tian Wei is a relative of the Qi royal family.
Inside the main hall.
Whether it was the lord elder or the people of the other clans, they all looked at Tian Wei.
In everyone's hearts, after understanding that Xu Zixiao was a closed disciple of Duke Jin, coupled with Xu Zixiao's previous help to Zhao Guo, they all regarded Xu Zixiao as their own.
Naturally, at this time, they all hope that Tian Wei can tell what he knows, as well as the murderer of Xu Zixiao.
When Chen Xuan saw this scene, he turned his head and saw Tian Wei's embarrassed appearance, so he took the lead in raising his hand.
"The person who assassinated Xu Junzi in the past was not related to Tian Wei, there was a reason for it, if Tian Wei was unwilling to save Zixiao, he would not have a word today, I hope you don't get excited!"
Chen Xuan explained with a smile.
And Chen Xu's words also made Wu Gao, who was originally staring at Tian Wei, dissipate the anger in his eyes.
Although Wu Gao was angry, he still had reason.
Wu Gao knew that what Chen Xuan said was reasonable, if it weren't for Tian Wei's intention to save Zixiao, he wouldn't have spoken at this time.
But!
For Wu Gao, the person who assassinated Zixiao must not be let go, and must die.
Right now, Tian Wei obviously intends to protect the person who assassinated Zixiao in the past!
Come to think of it.
Wu Gao's hands under the wide embroidered robe clenched into fists.
"Zixiao is also willing to believe in Tian Junzi! Zixiao could see that Tian Junzi had difficulties and would not ask more, but this trip to assassinate Yingzheng, if Tian Junzi knew where the antidote was, could he get the antidote earlier, Zixiao wanted to do what he had learned all his life and help him. ”
Bai Yan looked at Tian Wei and bowed his hand.
After knowing that Tian Wei actually knew that it was Mrs. Xu who assassinated him, Bai Yan was surprised, but also breathed a sigh of relief, because he had been thinking about the reason before, how to transfer Tian Wei away, and not arouse Tian Wei's suspicion.
"Good!"
When Tian Wei heard Bai Yan's words, he didn't refuse again, but looked at Bai Yan apologetically: "I will take Zixiao to go on this trip and personally seek an antidote for Zixiao!" ”
"I'll go too!"
"Can I bring Wu ......?"
Hearing Tian Wei's words, Wu Gao and Bai Yan said in unison, and after speaking, the two looked at each other.
Bai Yan was looking for an excuse to leave Zhongmu City with Wu Gao.
And Wu Gao was not at ease, worried that the mastermind of the assassination knew that Zixiao was not dead, and poisoned him again, and followed, if Zixiao had an accident, he would be with Tian Wei for the rest of his life.
"Then I'll go too!"
"I'm also together, anyway, seeing that the weather is about to rain, it will take some time for Yingzheng to arrive in Zhongmu!"
Chen Xuan and Corpse Yan saw the appearance of Wu Gao and Tian Wei, and said helplessly.
They have to go together, otherwise they are really worried that if something happens halfway, Wu Gao and Tian Wei will do it.
This victory has not yet arrived, and there must be no internal troubles.
Inside the lobby.
The main elder looked at Wu Gao and Tian Wei, and nodded lightly when he heard Chen Xu, Wu Gao, and Corpse Yan all go together.
"Very good!"
The Lord Elder said.
The top priority is to wait for Ying Zheng to come, assassinate Ying Zheng, where Tian Wei is, there are Chen Xuan and the corpse weir, and there should be no problem.
And as the Lord spoke, the matter was decided.
Naturally, the other men of the scholar clan had no opinion.
Looking at Xu Zixiao's young age and pale face, everyone had heard that in Handan, Xu Zixiao used to have one person and one sword, and after being ambushed, he killed several assassins with his own hands, forcing the rest of the assassins to disperse.
This kind of martial arts can't be underestimated.
Maybe this assassination of Ying Zheng, not only the forces of the Xu family, but also Xu Zixiao, will be of great help.
An hour later.
As it got dark, in the mansion, with the arrival of men from other clans, the banquet was full of laughter and laughter, and the sound of toasting and chatting was endless.
Perhaps due to physical reasons, everyone did not embarrass Bai Yan during the period, but like Zhu Xun and others, they all told Bai Yan that if he was unwell, he should not be reluctant and go down to rest early.
Wu Gao no longer has the excitement he had at the beginning, at least he looked at Tian Wei's gaze, and he was no longer as close as he was at the beginning.
Tian Wei naturally knew it, but he didn't explain anything except helplessness.
During the banquet.
Corpse Yan and Wu Gao also learned from the lord that the Qin general Bai Yan did not come to Zhongmu City, but took a carriage, and suddenly turned to Tangyin City when he was in Chaoge City.
According to the news that came, it is said that it was the Qin general Bai Yan, and the place that he suspected at the beginning was not Zhongmu City, but Tangyin City.
"It's a pity!"
The corpse weir said with regret.
Wu Gao also nodded, if that Qin general Bai Yan came to Zhongmu City, it would be great.
When Yingzheng was about to arrive in Zhongmu City, everyone directly attacked and mobilized all forces to get rid of Bai Yan.
"Ahem, cough~!"
Bai Yan coughed a few times, interrupting Wu Gao and Corpse Yan's thoughts.
Wu Gao turned his head to look and found a painful expression on Bai Yan's face.
"Zixiao, you are not feeling well, can you go and rest first?"
Wu Gao asked softly.
Only a very close relationship will make Wu Gao so concerned and his tone so worried.
And Bai Yan didn't hold on any longer, nodded at Wu Gao, got up and said goodbye to everyone.
Everyone in the banquet saw Bai Yan get up to say goodbye, and they all said they didn't mind, and the lord even instructed the heroine to send Bai Yan off.
See this scene.
Not to mention those thirty or forty-year-old scholars of the clan, even some young scholars can see that this lord always intends to marry the Xu family.
Looking at the thirteen or fourteen-year-old Zhumei, many people looked at the young man's gaze, revealing a trace of envy.
Although the main beauty is not a peerless beauty, it can be regarded as white and beautiful, coupled with the background and connections of the main family, it can be said to be of great help to Xu Zixiao in the future.
And as long as the lord is a wife, he doesn't care how many beautiful concubines Xu Zixiao accepts.
"Thank you, Lord!"
Bai Yan looked at the grandfather of the master and said with gratitude.
Then next to the lord with gray temples, the woman named Jumei made a salute.
"There is labor!"
After Bai Yan finished the salute, he watched the lord get up and salute himself with a shy face.
After waiting for the lord to get on the front and back, he followed the lord and walked towards the door.
Inside the main hall.
Wu Gao looked at Bai Yan's back as he left with the girl, his brows furrowed slightly.
But even after a turn, Wu Gao was not worried, because in Wu Gao's eyes, he understood Zixiao's personality, and the Wu family was not much worse than the main family.
His eldest sister is much more beautiful than the underage lord.
Inside the hallway.
Bai Yan looked at the girl leading the way in front, and turned her head to look out of the corridor, the dark sky.
There was not a single star tonight, and the brighter it was obscured by dark clouds.
Calculate the time.
The people who arranged it should have arrived in Zhongmu City soon, and tomorrow, they will be able to wash here in blood.
.........
Rumble~!
!
In the sky of Zhongmu City, a flash of lightning crossed from time to time, accompanied by the roar of thunderstorms.
Inside the mansion.
Bai Yan knelt in the room, draped in a thick fur coat, and under the candlelight, a roll of bamboo slips was written with handwriting.
Hear the thunder outside the window.
In front of the wooden table, Bai Yan stopped the brush, slowly raised his head, and looked out the window.
It rains in winter, and there is very little thunder, so I thought it was just light rain, but I never thought there would be thunder.
I think of what my grandmother taught me since I was a child, thunder and snow in winter, and the saying thunder in winter, nine out of ten bullpens are empty!
Listening to the thunder outside at this time, Bai Yan knew that in the future, the weather would enter the severe cold of winter, and there would be snow in the rain, and the temperature would be cold enough to freeze the cattle to death.
When Bai Yan was a child, he saw that there were only a few families in the village who were cultivating cattle, and it was in this weather that their ploughing cattle were frozen to death.
Think back to when I was a kid.
Bai Yan showed nostalgia on his face, at that time, his father often said, it would be nice if there was a cow in the family.
Tuk tuk tuk~!
There was a knock on the door, Bai Yan came back to his senses, and then got up and walked to the door.
Open the door.
The biting cold air came to his face, and what Bai Yan didn't expect was that the person standing outside the door was actually Tian Wei.
"Tian Wei takes the liberty to disturb!"
Tian Wei looked at Bai Yan, who was pale, and bowed his hand.
Bai Yan looked at Tian Feiyan's eldest brother, knowing that the other party had something to say to him when he came here, so he returned the salute and invited Tian Wei into the room.
in the room.
Bai Yan took Tian Wei to the wooden table, knelt down, and then reached out to hold the teapot and pour tea for Tian Wei.
After pouring the tea.
Looking at the young Tian Wei in front of him, Bai Yan was full of emotion.
For a long time, Bai Yan never thought that he would see Tian Feiyan's eldest brother in such a way and on such an occasion, the last time he saw Tian Feiyan's other eldest brother Tian Cong, his identity was still Qin General Bai Yan, but now he is Xu Zixiao.
"Xu Junzi is talented, can you blame Tian Wei for not informing the person who stabbed in Handan!"
Tian Wei looked at the steaming tea on the wooden table under the candlelight, and asked softly.
When Bai Yan heard Tian Wei's words, he didn't care.
"Nope! Zixiao knows that Tian Junzi must have something unspeakable! ”
Bai Yan said, putting aside the hot teapot in his hand.
"But if Zixiao didn't guess wrong, it should be Mrs. Xu!"
Bai Yan opened his mouth and said.
Knowing that Mrs. Xu was the one who helped Yan Dan forge the dagger, Fang Cai Tian Wei knew that he was a disciple of Gong Jin, but he still concealed it.
At that time, Bai Yan guessed that Yan Dan should have begun to arrange a plan to assassinate Ying Zheng.
If the assassination here in Zhongmu City is not successful, then Yan Dan will start his plan and use the map of Yan City to let the righteous assassinate Yingzheng.
However, Bai Yan did not inform Tian Wei of this speculation at this time.
"Huh?"
Tian Wei was a little surprised when he heard the words of the young man in front of him. However, when he heard the second half of Bai Yan's words, his handsome face suddenly glared at Tong Kong, looked at Bai Yan with horror, and looked at Bai Yan's pale cheeks.
"How do you know?"
Tian Wei asked.
Bai Yan looked at Tian Wei and explained with a smile,
"Tian Junzi underestimated Zixiao, if he wasn't worried that Mrs. Xu would kill herself, there would be no antidote at this point, or disturb Mrs. Xu to make her escape, Zixiao would have already ordered someone to do it in Handan."
After Bai Yan finished speaking, he looked out the window, and after taking a look, he turned his head to look at Tian Sui.
"This time I bothered Mr. Tian, and I went to get the antidote for Zixiao, Zixiao is grateful!"
Bai Yan bowed his hand.
Tian Wei looked at the young man in front of him, thought about it, and raised his hand to return the salute.
No wonder he can let Gong Jin accept him as a disciple.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden roar.
Inside the gate of Zhongmu City, several Qin officials were standing guard against the wall while yawning.
The cold wind swayed the torches inside the city gate, and even almost extinguished them, and the faint light of the fire naturally dimmed from time to time.
"It's going to rain again!"
A Qin official looked up at the night, shook his head and said.
Seeing this, the other three Qin officials couldn't help but nod slightly, it was already cold in winter, and the wind was like scraping bones, and it was actually raining now.
"If you don't know if you want to find an opportunity to ask Lord Cheng Wei to do us a favor and give us.... Stop, who are you? ”
Among the three people, one of the Qin officials was talking, and suddenly saw several figures suddenly appear under the dark shadow, which startled him.
It's scared to death in the middle of the night.
And what Qin officials who thought they were from other places didn't expect to appear were actually a few men dressed in black.
"Who are you?"
The other three were also taken aback, looking at the men in black with vigilance.
However, before he could speak at this time, he saw several men in black, and the man led by him took out a wooden sign from his arms.
"The castle guard ordered us to come over!"
Dressed in black, he handed the wooden sign to the Qin official headed by him.
After inspecting it, Qin Yan nodded.
"What's the matter?"
Qin Yan asked.
"Open the door! Don't let anyone in the castle know about it! ”
Huai said.
When several Qin officials heard Huai's words, they looked at each other, and then looked at Huai's eyes, which gradually changed their taste, and looked at the wooden card in their hands.
"Wait, sir!"
The Qin official who was the leader said to Huai, his tone had changed, he looked around, and then instructed a Qin official to go to the city tower.
Huai was not in a hurry, but looked around.
After waiting for a while, it seemed that the Qin officials on the city tower had been led away, and only then did the three Qin officials turn around and open the city gate behind them.
With the opening of the city gates.
The three Qin officials suddenly saw that in the dark night outside the city, a dense figure suddenly appeared.
"Ahh
Seeing this, the Qin officials led by him had weak legs and reached the ground with one butt, and the other two Qin officials also stumbled back two steps, but when they felt that they had hit something, they turned around and saw the man in black standing behind him just now, who had quietly drawn his sword.
In the frightened eyes of the two Qin officials, they didn't wait for them to react.
Stop~!
The two men in black stretched out their hands to cover Qin Yan's mouth, and the other two raised their swords, and a sword pierced Qin Yan's abdomen.
Accompanied by severe pain and struggle, after a while, the legs of the two Qin officials grabbed the ground a few times, and slowly collapsed until there was no movement.
Strike~!
The sound of the two corpses falling to the ground brought another Qin official back to his senses, and at this moment, this Qin official's face was pale, looking at the dense iron horse figure outside the city gate in front of him, full of horror, and kept retreating.
However, after hearing the movement, Qin Yan turned his head and saw that the other two had turned into corpses, their eyes were open, and they were even more frightened to pee.
Until this time.
This Qin official came back to his senses and knew that either the city guard had betrayed those scholars, or the incident had happened and had been killed.
"Great..... My lord! ”
Qin Yan looked at his arms with horror.
Huai looked at this Qin official, the corners of his mouth rose, and he slowly came to this Qin official.
