Handan City.

When Bai Yan led the iron cavalry to escort Yingzheng and the Queen Mother to Handan, Wang Qian, Wang Ben, Meng Tian and other generals were already waiting outside the city.

Along the way, there were guards by the Qin army brought back by Meng Tian and Wang Ben, plus Bai Yan's iron cavalry escort, and there was no situation.

Outside the city.

Bai Yan led Yan Mao, Yin Yi, Qiu Shan and other generals to Wang Jian and others, turned over and dismounted.

Bai Yan was not in a hurry to salute Wang Jian and the others, because as the army stopped, Yingzheng in the six-horse carriage had already come out of the carriage.

The surnamed Bai along the way had already knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.

Wang Jian and other generals, after seeing Ying Zheng, all saluted Ying Zheng.

Bai Yan was naturally no exception, and followed him to Ying Zheng.

After the ceremony, Ying Zheng was talking, and at this time, Bai Yan focused his attention on the surroundings.

Looking at the surrounding deployments and the garrisons on the city tower, Bai Yan didn't dare to be careless during the whole process.

From Zhongmu City to Handan, there were no guards or foot soldiers, and it took three days.

In these three days, nothing but rushing is rushing.

After the Empress Dowager Zhao was critically ill, not to mention that Yingzheng did not have the leisure to look at the scenery along the way, Bai Yan was worried all the way, for fear that the Empress Dowager would have an accident, or be unlucky and encounter heavy snow.

Now that he finally arrived in Handan safe and sound, Bai Yan naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't want any accidents at this time.

A moment later.

Seeing that after Ying Zheng met Meng Tian, Wang Ben and others, he summoned the old general Wang Jian to take a carriage into the city together, Bai Yan was not surprised.

With Wang Qian's ability and seniority in the Qin State, it is not surprising that he received this honor after leading the army to destroy Zhao, and even the attention of Yingzheng.

Wei Lao had won this honor at the beginning, but Wei Lao left the Qin State very early.

Now in the Qin State, there are also Wei Yu, Li Si, Changping Jun and others who have won this honor, and any one of them is a Taidou-level figure.

Outside the city gates.

After Bai Yan watched Ying Zheng and Wang Jian enter the carriage, he turned around and saluted Wang Ben, Meng Tian and other generals, as well as other Qin officials and ministers.

After watching Wang Ben and the others return the salute, Bai Yan continued to ride in the carriage and ordered the whole army to enter the city.

Inside the capital.

On this day, due to the arrival of Yingzheng, the entire Handan City was overcrowded, and everyone wanted to take a look, because everyone knew that it was likely that there would be only one chance in their lifetime.

Not to mention, the relationship between Handan City and Ying Zheng was introduced to the ears of the people of Handan when Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne as the King of Qin, or even earlier.

At least after the Battle of Changping.

Many old people in Handan have vaguely heard that at that time, after Qin Yiren, who was a proton in Zhao State, fled Handan, he left a couple of lonely widows in Handan, what is the name of Ji, what is the government.

Now the state of Zhao has been destroyed.

And the one who sent troops to destroy Zhao was the child Yingzheng who was hiding in Handan.

This had to make Zhao Ren sigh and sigh.

In Handan, and even in Zhao State, I don't know how few people have sighed in private, if they knew that there was today, they should have killed Yingzheng and Zhao Ji, the mother and son who were left behind.

On the main road from the city gate to the palace of Handan.

Under the arrangement of Wang Jian and other generals, all of them were strictly guarded by the soldiers of the Qin State.

Bai Yan, Meng Tian and the others rode war horses, escorting Ying Zheng to the palace on the way, except for a few people who thought they were talented to break in to see Ying Zheng, there was nothing else.

Waited until the Handan Palace.

Bai Yan's heart that had been hanging for a moment slowly landed, and the heartstrings that had been tense for days of rushing finally relaxed.

Ying Zheng's carriage was accompanied by Wang Qian, and there were many generals such as Meng Tian and Wang Ben outside, and General Yang, Mao Jiao, Li Chong and others who would ride in the carriage behind would also come over.

"Xia Yicheng, has the Queen Mother woken up?"

Bai Yan turned over and dismounted, watched the doctor come out after a moment in the carriage, and asked softly.

At the beginning of Zhongmu City, Bai Yan didn't know the name of this doctor, and in the past three days, Bai Yan took care of the Queen Mother, and finally learned that this young imperial doctor was named Xia Wuji.

Although Xia Wuhe is not a disciple of Bian Que, he is young, and his medical skills are the best of a hundred schools, and he is very famous in the court of the Qin State, and he is also Ying Zheng's personal physician, and he follows Ying Zheng all day long, even in the last dynasty.

"General White!"

Xia Wuhe saluted Bai Yan, then looked at Bai Yan and shook his head slowly.

It means that the Queen Mother still hasn't woken up at the moment.

At the moment, he is helpless, he doesn't know when the Queen Mother will wake up, or even if she will wake up again.

"Lord Zhao!"

After Bai Yan returned the salute to Xia Wuhe, he pondered and saw Zhao Gao coming, so he turned to Zhao Gao and saluted.

"General White!"

Zhao Gao also raised his hand to Bai Yan to salute, and then saluted with Xia Wuhe.

Behind Zhao Gao, more than twenty burly men walked over carrying a wooden bed, which was very large and covered with tulle, making people look down on what it looked like inside.

On the second day after Zhao Ji left Zhongmu City, she fell into a coma, and the cities along the way would prepare big beds in advance.

After Bai Yan, Xia Wuji, and Zhao Gao retreated, they watched the eunuchs and maids carefully carry the unconscious Queen Mother from the carriage to the big bed, cover the futon, and then carry them into the Handan Palace by those Zhongfu guards.

"General Bai, I will send the Queen Mother to recuperate with Lord Zhao first."

Xia Wuhe turned to Bai Yanji and saluted.

Zhao Gao on the side also raised his hand to salute.

"There are two adults!"

Bai Yan returned the salute, and then watched Xia Wuhe leave with Zhao Gao.

Just as Bai Yan looked at the backs of Xia Wuhe and Zhao Gao and fell into deep thought, a eunuch hurriedly ran over.

When Bai Yan heard the movement, he turned his head to look at it, a little puzzled.

Now that he has arrived at the Handan Palace, why is this eunuch anxious, it seems that something has happened.

"General Bai, the king's edict orders you to go over immediately."

The eunuch came to Bai Yan and saluted.

The voice fell.

After Bai Yan heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at the palace gate in the distance.

"What's going on?"

Bai Yan asked.

Looking at the eunuch's expression, Bai Yan raised his hand and said, as he walked.

The eunuch saluted Bai Yan again, then nodded and made a gesture of invitation to Bai Yan.

"General Bai, before Lord Yingkan concealed from the king, he secretly ordered people to come to Handan City with orders to arrest people, and the king was furious when he found out."

On the way, the eunuch said to Bai Yan as he walked.

"Arrest?"

When Bai Yan heard that Ying Kan had sent someone to Handan to arrest people, he was full of doubts.

This is a good guy who came to Handan to arrest someone.

The eunuch also seemed to see Bai Yan's doubts, and then whispered to Bai Yan that Ying Kan was arresting someone from Zhujiaxiang.

"Win!"

Bai Yan heard the ins and outs, his face was helpless, and he finally understood why Yingzheng was furious.

Ying Zheng is the king of Qin, if he wants to kill the people of Zhujiaxiang directly, it is Ying Kan's turn to do it, then Ying Kan does not use his brain, when Li Si and Yao Jia plan to separate the six countries, the most commonly used is to induce, followed by assassination.

Even the ministers of the enemy country can assassinate, a person from Zhujiaxiang in Handan, how could Yao Jia not be able to solve those people in Zhujiaxiang.

Not to mention that after Handan was broken by the Qin State, if you want to do it, where will it be your turn to win.

Not to mention Wang Qian, Wang Ben, Meng Tian, Meng Shu and others, that is, those Qin army generals under their command, Qin officials, and scholars who have no way to curry favor with Yingzheng, those people are not more convenient than Yingkan.

Come to think of it.

Bai Yan also finally felt the importance of identity and bloodline, if it weren't for the bloodline of the ancestor of the Ying clan, I am afraid that he would have been relegated to that remote place.

Looking at the group of Qin generals standing in front of the palace not far away, Bai Yan naturally saw Yingzheng not far away.

Bai Yan sighed and walked in the direction of Yingzheng.

In front of the palace of Handan.

Wang Qian, Uncle Meng, as well as Li Chong, Li Ji, Mao Jiao and others, all looked at Bai Yan who came in a hurry, wearing Qin armor.

Ying Zheng, who had a gloomy face, naturally saw Bai Yan as well.

"Bai Yan, meet the king!"

Bai Yan came to Yingzheng and bowed his hand.

"Bai Yan, do you know about Ying Kan's arrest of people privately?"

Ying Zheng asked.

Ying Zheng's words made Meng Tian and Wang Ben on the side look at each other, and they both knew in their hearts that this time Ying Kan was afraid that he would be condemned.

However, the next moment, Bai Yan's words were beyond everyone's expectations.

"Back to the king, Bai Yan did know that in the previous investigation, the people of Zhujiaxiang were worried that the king would come to Handan this time because of the arrogance and domineering things in the early years, so they colluded with the thieves and contributed money to participate in the assassination of the king, so Bai Yan discussed with Lord Yingkan, and the news leaked, so he ordered someone to come to Handan in advance to arrest him."

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he glanced at Ying Zheng and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, this time you are in a hurry along the way, Bai Yan forgot to inform the king of this matter, and asked the king to cure the crime of the minister!"

After Bai Yan finished speaking, in front of everyone, he bowed to Yingzheng.

Outside the palace gates.

Looking at Bai Yan and hearing that Bai Yan had forgotten about this matter because he was in a hurry, Wang Qian, Wang Ben, Meng Tian and others all nodded.

It is not surprising that this is the case.

Looking at Bai Yan's young cheeks, his eyes couldn't hide the tiredness due to fatigue, Wang Ben and Meng Tian both knew that Bai Yan had personally led the troops to solve so many thieves before, and he had to lead the troops in a hurry without rest, so it was normal to be a little negligent.

Presumably, the king would never blame Bai Yan for this trivial matter.

Between thoughts.

Wang Ben, Meng Tian and other Qin officials, even Wang Qian, didn't notice that Li Chong, Li Ji, and even Mao Jiao and Old General Yang on the side couldn't help but show surprised and even surprised eyes when they looked at Bai Yan.

Others don't know, but how can they, the officials who came with them all the way, not know that along the way, Bai Yan and Ying Kan have many disagreements.

And when it comes to calculating the time, they all know it.

Bai Yan was only accepted after he arrived in Zhongmu City, and Ying Kan sent people to Handan earlier.

Obviously, Bai Yan didn't know what Ying Kan was doing.

"I see! Thinking that you Bai Yan has made meritorious service in protecting you, this matter will no longer be investigated, and it must not be done again in the future! ”

After Ying Zheng heard Bai Yan's words, his face eased a lot.

When he saw Bai Yan's face full of tiredness, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with a hint of softness.

As usual with the incident in Yanmen last time, the young man in front of him still would not give him the infamy and embarrassment to him, the King of Qin.

Look at this young man, General Qin Guo.

In the eyes of others, they all thought that he was a child of the Bai family, and even the people of the Bai family thought that he was from a famous family.

Only Ying Zheng knows in his heart how humble this young man's background is.

Not even a taxi.

However, such a young man is more willing to serve than everyone else, and he is more willing to do his best.

Recalling that in Luoyang before, I would rather take risks than ensure that I was thorough along the way.

Ying Zheng said that it was false to be dissatisfied, that king could refuse such a courtier, and that king could not like such a conscientious courtier.

"Whoa! Weichen Bai Yan, thank you, the king! ”

After Bai Yan heard Ying Zheng's words, he knelt on the ground again and saluted Ying Zheng.

After the ceremony.

Bai Yan raised his head and saw that Ying Zheng had turned around and walked towards the palace, and Wang Jian and other generals also turned around, and breathed a sigh of relief.

When he got up, Bai Yan naturally noticed that Li Ji and Mao Jiao looked at him with approving glances, even Li Chong, who was the old guard of Longxi County, and General Yang, who were no exception.

Bai Yan smiled a little embarrassedly.

After coming into contact with more and more things, Bai Yan is no longer the ignorant teenager he was two years ago.

Two years ago, in the face of Ying Kan, who despised him, Bai Yan could do the same as before, but he may not be able to exonerate Ying Kan like Fang Cai.

Two years.

Bai Yan has changed from a young man who relied on the sword in his hand to a general of the Qin State, with a title and status.

Now Bai Yan has to think more, not only about himself, but also about all his relationships and connections, and more importantly, about Ying Zheng and those clansmen of the Ying family.

Whether those people in Zhujiaxiang kill or not to mention this is a matter that can only be decided after Ying Zheng has seen it in person, and there must be a reason to kill.

Otherwise, not to mention the previous move of distributing grain and millet to the people in Yanhe, that is, in the future, the scholars of other vassal states will still seek personal revenge after seeing that Yingzheng destroyed the country, and they will be more determined to resist Qin.

Why did Ying Zheng sacrifice to the heavens in Jingmuro Mountain, why did he attach so much importance to scholars, and why when Wei Lao was put in the Qin State, Ying Zheng pulled Wei Lao to eat and live together.

All this needs to be shown to the world.

Ying Zheng dominates the world, and he needs a reputation, otherwise how could Ying Zheng attach so much importance to black clothing, all of which come from Zou Yan's Five Virtues Theory.

"General?"

Yan Mao stepped forward at this time and came to Bai Yan's side, his eyes full of doubts.

"Take the soldiers to the camp for repairs first!"

Bai Yan didn't explain much to Yan Mao.

"No!"

Seeing Yan Mao give up his orders and turn to leave, Bai Yan turned around to settle the matter of guarding the palace, before Ying Kan led the men and horses to Handan, the palace guards in addition to Wang Qian's subordinates, Bai Yan would also leave some people.

Half an hour later.

Bai Yan had just made proper arrangements, and a eunuch came to Bai Yan.

"General Bai, General Wang Shangnian has meritorious service in guarding, and he has given the general's mansion in Shen Lane, South Street, and six dancing girls in the general's palace."

As the eunuch spoke, he let one of the eunuchs go.

"Bai Yan Xie Wang!"

Bai Yanji said.

While chatting with the eunuchs, Bai Yan quickly saw that at the side gate of the Handan Palace, the eunuchs drove a carriage slowly, and as the carriage stopped, six women with slender waists and beautiful women walked down from the carriage.

Handan is so beautiful, not to mention the woman who was brought into the palace of Handan.

Bai Yan looked at the six women who were in Jili, but did not take it to heart, and after the six women got into the carriage, he said goodbye to the eunuch.

··········

Sunset.

Bai Yan came to Yingzheng's mansion to reward him, and before he entered the mansion, Bai Yan was taken aback by the scale of this mansion.

The mansion is equipped with rockeries and pavilions, whether it is the corridor or the delicate carvings on the wooden windows of the doors, it gives people a pleasing feeling.

"Who is the former owner of this mansion?"

Bai Yan asked with some curiosity, he has been to Guo Kai's mansion and seen the scene in Guo Kai's mansion.

Bai Yan dared to say unceremoniously that this mansion was not half a point.

Naturally, Bai Yan understood that the owner of the mansion with such power in Handan would never be far behind.

"My lord, the mansion was previously inhabited by Chunping-kun."

A maid heard Bai Yan's words and replied cautiously.

Hearing this, Bai Yan glanced around, and then came to the study.

Looking at the exquisite and elegant study in front of me, the spacious room is equipped with a stove and so on, tiger skins, mink skins and so on are hung on the wooden shelves in the corner, and the wooden window is the beautiful view of the pool outside.

Bai Yan rarely likes a mansion from the bottom of his heart, but the mansion in front of him is a real liking.

Coming to the wooden frame, there were countless bamboo slips placed on the wooden frame, and Bai Yan picked up a roll casually and looked at it.

And at this look, Bai Yan forgot the time.

Because in addition to the ancient books of war, these bamboo slips also record some secrets of the Zhao State in detail, and it can be seen that Chun Pingjun was in a hurry when he left Handan, and he didn't have time to deal with these at all.

I don't know how long it has been.

Footsteps were heard outside the door, followed by a close confidant shouting outside the door.

"General, Captain Chai Du has come to report."

The cronies' words fell, and Bai Yan opened his mouth to let Chai in.

Subsequently.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps outside the study, Bai Yan took the bamboo slip and looked at it, and saw firewood that had not been seen for several months.

"Chai, meet the general!"

Chai came to Bai Yan and bowed his hand.

Previously, Bai Yan wanted to lead the troops to escort Yingzheng and the Empress Dowager Zhao to Handan, and Chai led the troops to stay in Yanmen.

Looking at Chai now, Bai Yan can see that Chai has a lot of pressure during this time.

"Where is Yanmen?"

Bai Yan asked with a smile.

As an acquaintance, it was Chai who taught Bai Yan to ride crossbow archery, and after that, Chai never gave up, was loyal to Bai Yan, and was born and died with Bai Yan on the battlefield.

Therefore, when Bai Yan saw Chai, he was not only a general under his command, but also like an eldest brother.

"If it weren't for the general's previous actions to appease Zhao Bianqi, the last general would have lost Yanmen long ago."

Chai heard Bai Yan's words with a wry smile on his face.

Then Chai told Bai Yan that since Bai Yan led the iron cavalry to leave, the fine work sent by Dai Di alone had captured no less than dozens of people, and almost all of those people had one purpose, that is, to lobby tens of thousands of generals of Zhao Bianqi to launch a rebellion in Yanmen.

Fortunately, Bai Yan took one measure after another, not only exempting Zhao Bianqi from rushing to Qin State for labor, but also distributing grain and millet to help the people of Yanmen, including Zhao Bianqi's family and his daughter.

In the case that most of the scholars in Yanmen were all eliminated in one fell swoop, not only did Zhao Bianqi not have the heart to resist in the past, but even the people of Yanmen had no idea of resisting.

After all, eating the grain and millet sent by Bai Yan, after experiencing drought and famine, as well as plunder, all the people and Zhao Bianqi knew who was good and who was bad.

If it weren't for Bai Yan's prestige.

At the beginning, even if Yanmen was strictly guarded and Yanmen was not lost, those Zhao Bianqi would also be instigated and fled to Daidi after launching a rebellion.

"However, General, before I left, Elder Wei had an instruction, saying that when you get to Yanmen, it is estimated that there will be a lot of trouble."

Chai said as he spoke, telling Wei Lao's instructions.

"But Wei Lao didn't say anything, what a trouble!"

Chai said.

Bai Yan was a little puzzled when he heard Chai's words, and then his thoughts changed, and he quickly thought that the only thing that could make Wei Lao have a headache in Yanmen was Zhao Qiu.

It is estimated that Zhao Qiu already knew that he had lied to her at the beginning, and he must have seen the Tyrant clan in the mansion.

"It's okay! Wait until you go back to Yanmen! Go back and wash up first, and tonight the king will have a feast in the king's palace. ”

Bai Yan didn't want to pay attention to the matter of Yanmen at the moment, so he took two rolls of bamboo slips from the wooden frame and handed them to the firewood.

"When you leave the mansion, give these to karma, and let karma order people to investigate the people in this scroll!"
