Qin and Zhao are of the same origin.

After the destruction of Zhao, Yingzheng, as the king of Qin, led the relatives of the Ying clan and the people of the Zhao clan to worship the ancestors and pray to the heavens as a member of the Ying clan.

Bai Yan was also present at the sacrificial place, but unlike other civil and military officials, Bai Yan thought that he should be on the periphery, and he never thought that Ying Zheng would call him and Wang Jian to his side in the name of 'guard'.

In other words, although Bai Yan is not Qin Zhao's Wang clan, he can participate in two sacrifices because of Yingzheng.

That's a big honor.

Whether it was the more than twenty people from the Ying clan who came together, even the Zhao clan's side, looking at Bai Yan's eyes, gradually changed.

often deals with the scholars of various countries, and as the clansmen behind the kings of various countries, these elderly scholars are not stupid, and they can't hear how much Yingzheng Yingzheng trusts Bai Yan.

It is not unheard of that outsiders are sacrificing.

For example, Li Mu, Guo Kai, and Li Ji of Zhao State, such as Meng Fu of Qin State, Lü Buwei and others, all worshiped with people with foreign surnames and kings, but which of those people was not high and powerful, and which one was not very prestigious.

Wang Jian participated in the sacrifice of the ancestors, which is understandable, after all, the king is a general of the Qin State and belongs to the secretary of state in the Qin state.

On the other hand, Bai Yan's current titles are only Xiaqing, not Shangqing.

How this comes as no surprise.

On the sacrificial platform exclusive to Zhao State.

Bai Yan naturally felt the eyes of other people, but he who was standing beside Wang Jian didn't pay attention to it, and when faced with the kind eyes of those old scholars, Bai Yan reciprocated them with kindness one by one.

As for how many of those people's kindness are true and how many are false, this Bai Yan has a rough idea in his heart.

Where in Yanmen at the beginning, so many warriors were killed, and more or less of them were related to these people from the Zhao clan.

Moreover, in the case of plundering and selling, these people of the Zhao clan have received benefits in private.

Everyone knows these in their hearts, but they just haven't said it.

On the altar.

The process of sacrifice is very cumbersome, Bai Yan had seen it when he was in Jingmuro Mountain, but Bai Yan did not go up the mountain at that time.

Looking at the eunuchs, maids, and guards, carrying, carrying, and carrying the sacrificial utensils, as well as the sacrificial live animals, Bai Yan couldn't help but sigh at the tediousness of the process.

The whole process lasted more than three hours.

When the old man headed by the clan of the Qin State in the end. After taking the notice to the top and reading the words of blessing Ying Zheng, it was the turn of the old man led by the Zhao clan to take the notice and read the blessing to Ying Zheng.

After the blessing is completed, the whole sacrifice ends.

Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, because the sacrifice was different from usual, and there were many things to pay attention to in the whole process, that is, the expression should not show frivolity, impatience, etc., so it was false to say that it was not tiring.

When he got up, he looked at the elderly general Wang Jian beside him, and his body was a little numb, so Bai Yan hurriedly reached out to help.

"Old general, beware!"

Bai Yan said softly.

Wang Jian looked at Bai Yan, a smile appeared on his old face, and then he quickly shook his head.

"Old!"

Wang Jian couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then slowly got up with Bai Yan's support.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of others, looking at the scene of Bai Yan and Wang Qian, everyone knew that it was these two people, one old and one young, who were ordered by Feng Yingzheng to attack Zhao State.

Looking at the relationship between the two now, many people glanced at each other, as if they had noticed something, so some people praised and some frowned.

At this time.

Looking at Ying Zheng at the front, he slowly turned around, and everyone quieted down one after another, making way for Ying Zheng.

Bai Yan and Wang Jian were also pushed aside.

A eunuch was also on it at this time, holding the edict and reading it.

"Now that the sacrifice has been made, from now on, Qin and Zhao will return together, all the clansmen in Zhao are Qin people, if there is any difference, they will regard themselves as traitors to Zhao people."

Between the eunuchs' readings, all the clansmen and clans made rituals.

After the eunuch finished reading, he looked up.

"Obey the king's commands!"

"Obey the king's command!!"

On the sacrificial platform, all the clan relatives and scholars said to Yingzheng.

When Ying Zheng saw this scene, he nodded.

Bai Yan saw Ying Zheng leave and walked towards the bottom of the steps of the altar, so he and Wang Jian followed closely behind Ying Zheng.

When passing by those clan relatives, Bai Yan saw Ying Kan among the clan relatives.

The two glanced at each other, gave each other a good-natured, intimate look, and disappeared in a flash.

A moment later, inside the city of Handan.

Bai Yan and Wang Jian had just left the palace, and a cronie stepped forward to Bai Yan's side.

"General, General Yu has come to Handan."

The cronies reported to Bai Yanyu.

Wang Jian on the side heard the words of Bai Yan's cronies, and was a little puzzled at first, but in a moment, Wang Jian immediately remembered that it was General Yu.

So Wang Jian turned his head to look at Bai Yan beside him, his eyes were full of surprise.

Wang Jian didn't expect that Bai Yan would specially ask General Yu to come to Handan.

He and General Yu have known each other for decades ago, but at that time, Wang Jian had a better background than General Yu, and the speed and opportunity of promotion were more than that of General Yu.

However, later on the old general Yu, by virtue of his qualifications and military exploits in the army, he was successfully promoted to a general and served as the left commander of the Qin State.

If it weren't for Li Mu in the back, General Yu's children and grandchildren would have died on the battlefield, how could General Yu be vengeful and slump after successive defeats.

"Good!"

When Bai Yan heard the words of his cronies, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.

"Go and call Jue!"

Bai Yan instructed.

When he was in Shangjun Gaonu, the old general was happy to hear that he had won the battle, but he drank too much, and his tired body finally collapsed.

is also the same, Bai Yan only learned about it when he returned to Shangjun Gaonu.

After killing Zhao later, he ordered someone to write to the old general, asking the old general if he wanted to come to Handan to have a look, but he didn't expect the old general to really come to Handan.

"The old man will also go with you to meet Old Man Yu."

Wang Jian said.

When Bai Yan heard this, he looked at Wang Jian with some surprise, he didn't expect that the old general Wang Jian would suddenly speak, but seeing this, Bai Yan naturally liked it.

In front of General Yu, he is a junior after all, and many things can only resonate with General Wang Jian and General Yu, and the owner of the past belongs to the memories of the past.

This is something that Bai Yan has a heart for, but cannot do.

"Speaking of which, when Old Man Yu came to my mansion before, Wang Jian at that time."

Seeing Bai Yan's gaze, Wang Jian explained with a smile, but as he spoke, he shook his head and couldn't speak.

Bai Yan also knew the reason, when he was in Lantian at the beginning, General Yu Lao also said it.

"General, please! Bai Yan will definitely prepare a banquet today to entertain General Shang and General Yu. ”

Bai Yan said with a smile.

This time, it was Bai Yan who rarely interrupted others.

Wang Qian, who was interrupted, not only did not get angry, but laughed, and then instructed Hu Cong to prepare to follow Bai Yan into Bai Yan's carriage.

But just before getting into the carriage, Wang Jian suddenly thought of something, and then looked at Bai Yan.

"General Bai, maybe this matter should be reported to the king."

Wang Jian reminded.

Bai Yan was a little surprised, because he was happy, he didn't think about it so much, and now when he heard Wang Qian's words, he nodded hurriedly.

"Thank you for the general's reminder, then Bai Yan will go to the palace first, and the general will go to Bai Yan's mansion first, and Bai Yan will return to the mansion soon."

Bai Yan saluted to Wang Qianji.

"It's okay!"

Wang Jian said with a smile.

After Bai Yan saluted, he turned around and walked towards the palace.

In front of the corridors of the royal palace.

Ying Zheng had just finished the sacrifice, and before he had time to rest, he was talking with the Zhao clan in the corridor, and suddenly saw a eunuch walking with Bai Yan.

"Weichen Bai Yan, meet the king!"

Bai Yan came to Yingzheng and said.

At this moment, there were seven or eight old men beside Ying Zheng, all of whom looked at Bai Yan curiously.

"Bai Yan, aren't you going back to rest with Wang Qian? Why did you suddenly return? ”

Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yan who was saluting and asked softly.

When Bai Yan heard Ying Zheng's words, he raised his head, explained his intention to Ying Zheng, and asked to take a bath for a day, the reason was that General Yu Lao came to Handan.

"Your Majesty, the old general Yu is very old, and now his grandchildren have all died on the battlefield for the Qin State, Bai Yan wants to accompany the old general to visit this Handan City, and now I am the city of Daqin!"

Bai Yan looked at Ying Zheng, raised his hand to salute, and said softly.

In the corridor, Ying Zheng was a little surprised when he heard Bai Yan's words.

At first, Ying Zheng didn't react, after all, Ying Zheng dealt with all kinds of things every day and faced countless things, but when Bai Yan said the reason for the back, Ying Zheng immediately remembered the old General Yu in Bai Yan's mouth.

For that old general of the Qin State!

Of course, Ying Zheng also knew that at the beginning of his succession, General Yu was still the left chief of the Qin State, and he had made great contributions to his merits.

Later, Yingzheng also watched with his own eyes, when thirteen years ago, the Five Kingdoms attacked Qin, and the eldest son, second son, and third son of Yu Laozhu all died in Hanguguan.

Then, six years ago, the Qin general Huan Qi led his troops to attack Zhao, and the only remaining sons and grandsons were all killed in the battle.

At that time, after the next battle from Fei, General Yu Lao was a son on his knees, and all of them died in battle, and the Yu family had no children except for the more than 50 General Yu.

In the entire Qin State, like General Yu, he is a general, and the whole family is still a family of people who died on the battlefield of the Qin State, and only General Yu Lao is the family.

"After sunset, the widow also went to visit General Yu!"

Ying Zheng stood in the corridor, looking at the boundless Handan City outside the palace in the distance, and said softly.

recalled the deeds of General Yu, and then looked at the scene in front of him.

Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but be moved again.

His ability to destroy the Qin State is inseparable from the accumulation of the previous kings, the help of virtuous ministers and good generals, and the bloody battlefield.

General Yu's title was given by the Qin State, which was what General Yu deserved, but General Yu's children and grandchildren were all on the battlefield for the Qin State, and they all died in battle for the Qin State, but these were the choices of the Yu family.

"No!"

Bai Yan was stunned when he heard that Ying Zheng was going to his mansion, but fortunately he came back to his senses and said.

Several old men on the side also hurriedly laughed at this time and saluted Ying Zheng.

Among these people, half of them are relatives of Zhao Guo, so naturally they have never heard of General Yu, while the other half of Qin Guo's relatives have a little impression of General Yu.

But no matter whether they understand it or not, at this moment, they are looking at Ying Zheng, and their minds have already appeared in their minds, how to compliment Ying Zheng's words.

"The king is wise, my Great Qin soldiers will definitely be excited when they learn that the king is like this!"

"I have a king in Qin, which is the blessing of my Qin country and the blessing of my Qin people."

In the corridor, one after another old men praised Yingzheng.

However, Ying Zheng is not Zhao Wangqian, and Ying Zheng only listens to these praises.

Ying Zheng knows better than anyone that in the eyes of the corporal in the world, how to view him, the king of Qin, and how to describe him Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng is also very clear that even among the royal family, there are many people who are looking forward to his violent death, and then those people can use their connections as clans to set up a new king.

"The king is wise!"

Bai Yan stood in the corridor and heard everyone's praise for Yingzheng, Bai Yan naturally agreed.

Otherwise, everyone will speak, and he will be the only one who does not speak, which is inevitably a mistake.

However, at this time, Bai Yan also noticed that among the old men, one of them was a middle-aged man with two black moles on the corners of his mouth.

Seeing that his appearance is not a nobleman.

In Bai Yan's mind, a name soon came to mind.

"Guo Zong!"

In Bai Yan's mansion.

Old man Yu and Wang Jian were reminiscing in the main hall, and Qi was smiling on the side.

When they heard the footsteps outside the door, Old Man Yu and Qi were already Bai Yan back, and even Wang Jian was no exception.

However, when Wang Jian turned his head to look out of the door, he immediately showed a look of surprise when he saw the people who came.

Jue looked at the man, his brows furrowed slightly, thinking that it was the Ying clan member again.

It was Old Man Yu, who recalled the man's face at this moment, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly got up with Wang Jian and came to the wooden table.

"Weichen, meet the king!"

"Meet the King!!"

Wang Jian and Old Man Yu came to salute each other.

Seeing this, Jue looked stunned and confused.

Your Majesty?

After thinking of something, Jue's mind went blank, and after a few breaths, he came back to his senses, and quickly got up and knelt on the ground.

Several maids who were putting wine and food on the side heard the words of Wang Jian and Yu Lao at this moment, and they were all shocked, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground like Jue, not daring to raise their heads.

"The two old generals don't need to be polite!"

Ying Zheng came to the main hall and said to Wang Jian and Old Man Yu, and then followed by Bai Yan, he came to the top of the main hall and sat down.

"Thank you, the king!"

"Thank you!!"

When Wang Jian and Old Man Yu heard Yingzheng's words, they raised their heads and put down their hands.

Bai Yan turned around at this time and instructed the maid.

"Don't come unharmed, old general!"

Ying Zheng knelt behind the wooden table above and looked at the old man Yu with gray temples.

On the side, Bai Yan watched the maid leave, and then turned to look at General Yu, who had a lot more gray hair than at the beginning.

Looking at General Yu's old face, Bai Yan's heart was also soft, now that the Zhao State has been destroyed, and the Zhao land has become the Qin land, but these cannot change the fact that the children and grandchildren of General Yu Lao have all died in battle, and General Yu Lao has come to Handan, and he can't see his children and grandchildren.

The only thing that can comfort my heart may be that General Yu can take a look for his children and grandchildren who died in battle, and now this piece of heaven and earth has been incorporated into the Qin soil.

"General, King Xie cares!"

When Yu Lao Zheng heard Ying Zheng's words, he said with gratitude, Yu Lao Bao didn't expect that Ying Zheng would actually come to see him.

Turning his head to look at Bai Yan beside him, seeing Bai Yan looking at his appearance, Old Man Yu smiled with relief, and then looked at Ying Zheng above the main hall.

Inside the main hall.

Under Ying Zheng's instructions, Wang Jian and Yu Laochu sat back in their positions one after another.

And at this time, Bai Yan also asked Jue to come to the middle and meet Yingzheng.

"He's the Devil?"

After Ying Zheng heard Bai Yan's introduction, he couldn't help but think of Bai Yan's rumors about Lantian.

"Get up!"

Ying Zheng looked at Jue with a smile on his face.

Jue looked at Ying Zheng with a panicked face, and when he got up, his hands and feet were weak, if it weren't for Bai Yan beside him, Jue probably wouldn't be able to walk.

And when he returned to his seat, he gradually calmed down.

Next, although Jue didn't dare to look at Yingzheng, his heart gradually became excited, and his mind was full of directions, and when he went home in the future, he would tell his parents, wife and children about it.

It is estimated that my parents didn't believe that there were people in their village who could actually see the king with their own eyes, and they were so close, this person was still their son!

Thinking about it.

Even though he knelt behind the wooden table and lowered his head, he couldn't control his grin.

Inside the main hall.

Ying Zheng and General Yu were chatting.

Knowing that General Yu had no heirs, Ying Zheng wanted to give General Yu a mansion and give General Yu some servants and maids for General Yu to provide for his retirement.

However, General Yu refused Yingzheng's good intentions.

General Yu told Ying Zheng that he was now single and lived the same wherever he lived, and for him, now that he saw that Zhao State was destroyed by Qin State, he had no regrets in his heart.

As for loneliness

General Yu said this, looked at Bai Yan who was kneeling behind the wooden table on the other side, and then told Ying Zheng that since he met Bai Yan, Bai Yan treated him like an elder, and the last time he was on the first day, Bai Yan took him back to Xianyang to spend it together.

Even in the past, when Bai Yan led the troops abroad, and even when Zhao was fighting, he did not forget that after three or two months, he sent a letter to Lantian and told Sima Xingmo to forget to send him money.

"The old man thought it was Sima Xing, so when he passed by Lantian and went to see Sima Xing, he was grateful to Sima Xing, but Sima Xing said to the old man with a wry smile."

Old Pawn Yu said.

At first, Yu Laopao also thought that Sima Xing sent it, and he was very puzzled why Sima Xing sent money so frequently, until he went to Lantian Daying later, he didn't know that it was not Sima Xing who sent him money, but Bai Yan, a little ghost, who had been thinking about him and worried that he had no money to buy wine and drink.

Thinking of coming here this time, Mr. Yu's heart was full of warmth.

This time, Bai Yan never forgot to trust him, so he came here.

Inside the main hall.

Hearing Old Man Yu's appearance, Ying Zheng turned his head to look, and when he saw Bai Yan, he smiled awkwardly.

Unlike Wang Qian's surprised face not far away, Ying Zheng suddenly remembered the origin of the young man and the previous behavior of the young man for some reason.

For some reason, Ying Zheng never wanted to see the old woman who even Mao Jiao praised.

What kind of old woman is she?
