In the nineteenth year of the reign of King Qin, February.

With the death of the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, Ying Zheng did not stay in Handan for long, and left Handan under the guidance of Wang Qian, Meng Tian and other generals.

Among these people, some are officials who came from the Qin State with Yingzheng, and some are officials of the Zhao State who had made meritorious contributions to the Qin Dynasty before, and they are still serving in the original city.

The only thing that happened was that some young clansmen from the Qin royal family were appointed by Yingzheng to serve as officials in Zhao Di.

These rights are not high, but they are real rights.

And this time Yingzheng returned to Xianyang, to everyone's surprise, Bai Yan, who had led the iron cavalry army before, did not leave with him.

.........

Yanmen is good.

In Bai Yan's mansion, the scenery outside the courtyard receded as the cold winter receded, and the shoots of playthings gradually began to recover.

Maybe Yanmen is more northerly, or maybe it's because of the climate, in February, in Yanmen, Yanmen is good, you can still feel a little cool.

And in a gazebo, two stunning women, around a small stove, laughed and drank tea.

From a distance, it is a beautiful view, which makes people breathtaking.

Maybe if some Confucian scholars see it, they will definitely sigh that Jingmei is more beautiful.

And outside the yard.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, breaking the calm of this beautiful scenery.

Seeing this, the two women in the pavilion turned their heads to look, and then a young boy met the woman's eyes.

"It's back!"

Seeing the young man, a slightly older gentle beauty, a look of joy appeared in his beautiful eyes, and under the exquisite Qin clothes, his body slowly got up and walked towards the outside of the pavilion.

But there was another bewitching and seductive beauty next to her, looking at the returning young man, her expression was not half happy.

Inside the yard.

Bai Yan followed the maid in the mansion and handed over the large and small bags to the servant.

"General!"

A soft voice and a call made the slightly cool complexion seem to add a touch of warmth.

Bai Yan turned his head and looked at the Tyrant Clan, who he hadn't seen for a long time, a familiar smile appeared on his face, a little shy, but he would only do so in private.

In the mansion, it is not like being outside, you have to look nervous all day long, not like a battlefield, you have to face the death of soldiers all day long, bloody clothes and angry horses, at home, when you are alone, you can enjoy the scenery and the moon, drink tea and listen to the kite, and there are intimate people in front of you.

"Madame!"

Bai Yan turned around and slowly raised his hand and saluted at the Tyrant Clan.

After the ceremony, Bai looked at the beautiful face raised by the Tyrant Clan, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but fortunately, in an instant, he was not ashamed.

Thinking that there is no good thing in Yanmen now, the Tyrant clan does not need to be like in Xianyang before, afraid all day long, worried that others will recognize him.

Bai Yan was not only relaxed in his heart, but also a little happy.

After all, he promised to take care of the Violent Clan, although he also had no worries about food and clothing, but the Violent Clan needed to hide in Tibet, and he had to be frightened even when he left the house.

Not guilty is fake.

Fortunately, now we can finally have a safe and secure place.

"How are you doing here?"

Bai Yan asked softly.

It was clear that Zhao Qiu was here, Zhao Qiu didn't want his identity to be exposed, and he would definitely take care of the Tyrant Clan, but Bai Yan still couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, the general is worried here, and he is doing well."

The Tyrant glanced at Bai Yan, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"I'm worried about going and preparing a cup of warm tea for the general!"

Tyrant said softly, as before, no matter when and where, it always makes people feel warm.

At this time, Bai Yan also saw the bewitching beauty slowly walking out of the pavilion behind the Tyrant Clan, looking at the seductive figure, Bai Yan smiled bitterly in his heart.

If the Tyrant Clan in front of him is a virtuous and virtuous beauty, then Zhao Qiu really sees it once, and Bai Yan has to sigh in his heart once, but Bai Yan also knows very well that under Zhao Qiu's charming appearance, he is colder than everyone else, even the Tyrant Clan and Tian Feiyan don't feel that way.

Compared with Zhao Qiu's beauty, Bai Yan cared more about the indifferent look in Zhao Qiu's eyes.

This also confirms previous speculations and concerns.

"Shin Ji has seen the general!"

Zhao Qiu stepped forward, and after seeing Bai Yan, his pretty face showed an intoxicating smile, but his eyes looked at Bai Yan as if he were looking at an enemy.

"Sister don't ask, the general was in Zhongmu City before, was he injured?"

Zhao Qiu asked with concern, and his delicate tone, combined with the words of caring about people, made people's hearts numb.

Bai Yan's nose twitched, and he couldn't hear the mockery in Zhao Qiu's words.

Fortunately, Bai Yan is thick-skinned.

in the yard.

When the Violent Clan heard Zhao Qiu's words, he glanced at Bai Yan, didn't the previous news say that Bai Yan was not in danger?

Seeing Bai Yan shaking his head slightly, the Tyrant didn't ask much, turned around and continued to go back to the pavilion.

Bai Yan looked at the back of the Storm Clan walking towards the pavilion, and only after a moment did he look at Zhao Qiu.

"Bai Yan doesn't know those people in Zhongmu City, and because of the rebellion, he wants to kill the king, Bai Yan has no choice!"

Bai Yan explained softly.

Bai Yan had always had a premonition before, and guessed in his heart that many of the scholars killed in Zhongmu City were likely to have a relationship with Zhao Qiu.

Looking at the background of those scholars at the beginning, without exception, not only was their strength huge, but they were also all old clans loyal to the Zhao royal family, Zhao Qiu was also Princess Zhao, and their connections were better than Zhao Jia's, and those rebellious scholars inevitably had a lot to do with Zhao Qiu.

In addition, he specially lied to Zhao Qiu that he was going to Handan.

Therefore, Bai Yan also guessed that if he returned to Shanwu, he would inevitably have to face Zhao Qiu's cynicism.

If he didn't ask Zhao Qiu for it, then Bai Yan also pretended not to hear it and didn't bother to pay attention to it, but now there is really a place to ask Zhao Qiu, that is, Zhao Qiu needs to help him investigate Guo Zong.

So Bai Yan should explain.

With a cool breeze wafting through the air, it blew slightly.

Zhao Qiu stood in place, the little long hair on his back fluttering gently.

Hearing the young man's explanation, his beautiful eyes looked at the young man in front of him, and for a long time, Zhao Qiu's eyes were not so cold.

Just as Bai Yan wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, Zhao Qiu's voice sounded again.

"At the beginning, you and Yao Jia sent an envoy to Xinzheng to meet the king of Han, just when you and Yao Jia were in Xinzheng, the Zhang family of the fifth prime minister of Han suddenly killed Han Ling, the general of Han, and afterwards the Zhang family killed Xinzheng overnight to commit the crime of rebellion."

Zhao Qiu spoke slowly, and after speaking, his tone gradually slowed down, and his eyes looked directly at Bai Yan.

"Then Xinzheng City was broken, and Mrs. Han Ling, who was once famous for her beauty, burned her mansion and died!"

Zhao Qiu said here.

"Han Ling, did you kill you?"

Zhao Qiu asked.

When I first saw Sorrow in the mansion, even if she was a woman, she was amazed by Sorrow's beauty.

And from the beginning, Zhao Qiu didn't believe that such a beautiful woman was called worried.

If the general women's membership is nameless Zhao Qiuxin, but like worrying, the woman is nameless, Zhao Qiu doesn't believe it.

Then Zhao Qiu thought about the famous beauties of other vassal states, and when he thought of Korea, he thought that Mrs. Han Ling was a famous beauty, and it just so happened that Bai Yan was in Korea at that time.

With this thought.

Zhao Qiu, who had always been puzzled when he heard that Zhang Fu rebelled against South Korea, suddenly figured out a lot of things, and the whole person was stunned in place.

At that time, Zhao Qiu had already determined that the Zhang family was framed, and the Zhang family had never rebelled!

The reason why the Zhang family doesn't even have a chance to avenge their grievances is that the most important thing is the beauty in the pavilion behind them, worrying!

That is, the Tyrant Clan!

It's just that Zhao Qiu was very puzzled, why the Tyrant clan would help Bai Yan, and why Bai Yan wanted to kill Han Ling and frame the Zhang family.

And Zhao Qiu judged that it was very likely that Yao Jia didn't know about this matter, otherwise a beauty like the Tyrant Clan, even Yao Jia, would definitely not want to let it.

"Princess Zhao Qiu is really wise!"

Bai Yan arched his hand and said.

A word of admiration, literally did not answer Zhao Qiu, but the concise words were telling Zhao Qiu that what she said and thought before was right.

"Why did you frame the Zhang family?"

Zhao Qiumei's eyes were full of doubts, no matter what she thought before, she couldn't think of a reason.

Why did Bai Yan target the Zhang family so much, you must know that the Zhang family's status in Yingchuan is extraordinary, compared to framing the Zhang family, if the Zhang family is left after the destruction of Han, this is definitely a big help for the Bai family.

"If the princess wants to know, she will promise Bai Yan one thing!"

When Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu's inquiry, he suddenly laughed and said, very directly.

But what Bai Yan didn't expect was that after finishing speaking, Zhao Qiu looked at him directly and didn't say a word.

Bai Yan sighed with emotion, women really say that they will change.

Looking at Zhao Qiu.

Just when Bai Yan thought that things were frozen, Zhao Qiu didn't want to trade with him at the moment.

I never thought things seemed to be turning around.

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Qiu was silent for a few moments and asked softly.

Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu, a little surprised.

However, since Zhao Qiu opened his mouth, Bai Yan naturally would not hide it.

"The princess wants to know why Bai Yan wants to frame the Zhang family, and Bai Yan also wants to know how much iron ore equipment Guo Zong gave to the north, and take that road to cross the mountains."

Bai Yan said softly.

Information exchange, Zhao Qiu wanted to know about the Zhang family, and Bai Yan naturally wanted to know about Guo Zong.

Guo Zong can be said to be rich in Zhao Di, and there are countless captive guests in the mansion, although he doesn't know much about Guo Zong, but Ying Zheng is likely to reach a consensus with Guo Zong in private, and Guo Zongcai did not help Zhao Guo.

And the reason Bai Yan guessed that it was Guo Zong's family and mine.

At present, Bai Yan's power in other places is weak except for Yanmen, and if he wants to investigate Guo Zong, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, so he can only ask Zhao Qiu for help.

"You want to deal with Guo Zong?"

When Zhao Qiu heard Bai Yan's words, he was full of doubts.

Bai Yan shook his head.

"Guo Zong has the protection of the king, Bai Yan will not deal with Guo Zong, the princess should know that if Bai Yan wants to get rid of Guo Zong, it will be difficult to give the northern iron weapon a single thing."

Bai Yan explained.

Under Zhao Qiu's gaze, Bai Yan turned his head to look at the north.

"Guo Zong is not a fool, he was able to keep his family business before, and dared to sell iron horses to the northern Xiongnu privately, I am afraid that there must be an agreement with the northern Xiongnu, the Xiongnu will not rush south, but the Xiongnu cost such a big price, it must be made up, and the consequence of not going south is to cannibalize other nomadic tribes."

Bai Yan said this, his brows furrowed.

"The princess is in Zhaodi, and she should know the habits of the Huns in the north. If you want to go south after the Xiongnu are strong, restore the country for the Zhao State, and lose both the Qin State, the first to be persecuted are the Zhao people. ”

Bai Yan turned his head to look at Zhao Qiu: "At that time, the people of Zhao were one after another, and experienced a tragic scene in the world, the princess thought that the people were willing to join my iron cavalry to resist the Xiongnu, or wait for Zhao to recover?" ”

Inside the yard.

Bai Yan's words made Zhao Qiumei's eyes stunned.

If it were someone else, Zhao Qiu would be able to refute it easily, but only in the face of the young man in front of him, Zhao Qiu knew that the young man had this prestige.

Now tens of thousands of Zhao Bian riders in Yanmen are unwilling to go to Daijun, which is a conclusive fact.

A hint of unwillingness appeared in Zhao Qiu's eyes.

It's not because he can't refute Bai Yan's words, but because he is unwilling to see that Zhao Guo has no chance to return to the country.

There was silence for a long time.

Zhao Qiu Fang just looked at the young man in front of him, this young man who was extremely sensitive to the situation, and he didn't even know the specific news, so he had already speculated that Guo Zong and the others wanted to restore the country through some means.

Thinking of such a person being ordered to garrison in Yanmen, and thinking of the age of this young man, Zhao Qiu's despair in his heart was only clear to himself.

If yes.

Zhao Qiu would rather use all his connections and connections to let this young man be transferred back to the court of Xianyang of the Qin State, not in the northern border of this Zhao Land.

"Good!"

Zhao Qiu did not refuse Bai Yan again.

Zhao Qiu also knew that, as Bai Yan said, as long as this young man was in Zhao Di right now, Guo Zong's plan would only make Zhao people integrate into the Qin State faster in the end.

Guo Zong couldn't make this young man rebel against Qin.

And as long as this young man does not rebel against the Qin State, here in Yanmen, there will always be iron horses.

What's more, Zhao Qiu has never believed in Guo Zong, who betrayed Zhao at the beginning, who can know if Guo Zong is taking advantage of other Zhao clans' desire to restore the country for personal gain.

However, at the moment, compared to why he framed the Zhang family of the Fifth Prime Minister Han, Zhao Qiu has a more puzzling question.

"But I want to know, why did you let Tian Tian leave Handan?"

Zhao Qiu asked softly.

Zhao Qiu had to figure out this question, and after receiving the news that Tian Wei had left Handan alive, Zhao Qiu was a little skeptical that the news was fake.

Although she was not in Handan, through one news after another, Zhao Qiu had already deduced Bai Yan's specific actions from the beginning, and it turned out that she basically guessed correctly, even Guo Kai was killed, so at the beginning of Handan, she knew that Bai Yan had enough opportunities to get rid of Tian Wei without being suspected.

But on the contrary, Tian Wei actually left Handan alive.

If Wu Gao, Corpse Yan, and Wu Yun could live, Zhao Qiu would not be surprised.

Although Zhao Qiu didn't like Bai Yan, he had to admit that Bai Yan's behavior would not hurt Wu Gao and Wu Yun.

But for Bai Yan's temperament, Zhao Qiu also understands that Bai Yan will never let Tian Wei, the commander of Qi Jiji, leave Handan alive.

There must be a reason for this, this is Zhao Qiu's intuition.

And it probably is.

"I can't tell you this!"

When Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu's words, he didn't think about it, so he shook his head.

Zhao Qiu is too smart.

Looking at the gazebo, the Tyrant had already warmed the tea and was standing in the gazebo waiting.

"At the beginning, I said that the matter of Zhangfu was exchanged for Guo Zong's news, if the princess wanted to know, she would have a chance to talk about it in the future, now Bai Yan was bumpy all the way, and his tongue was dry, can he go and drink a glass of warm water first."

Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu.

Inevitably, Zhao Qiu was suspicious, and Bai Yan also borrowed the word to tell Zhao Qiu that one thing for another, Guo Zong's matter can only be exchanged for the matter of Zhangfu, and the others will have the opportunity to be exchanged in the future.

looked at Zhao Qiu staring at himself without saying a word.

Bai Yan bowed his hand, and then hurriedly walked past Zhao Qiu.

Inside the gazebo.

Bai Yan came to the wooden table, looked at the tea handed to him by the Tyrant family, took it and blew it, and drank it gently.

When Zhao Qiu came to the pavilion, he looked at the charming and moving Zhao Qiu.

"Madame was in the mansion before, but she bothered Shen Ji to take care of it."

Bai Yan smiled and said gratefully, and didn't say anything about Fang Cai to Zhao Qiu again.

Zhao Qiu's identity, Bai Yan had already told the Violent Clan, and also asked the Violent Clan to help keep an eye on Zhao Qiu, all along, Bai Yan did not stop Zhao Qiu from receiving the news, but he would never allow Zhao Qiu to pass on the news.

Between words.

At this time, a cronie soldier hurriedly ran over from the courtyard in the distance with three rolls of bamboo slips.

Under the gaze of the Tyrant clan and Zhao Qiu, the cronies came down to the pavilion and walked in front of Bai Yan.

"General, there is news from Yan He, Gao Tang, Wu Sui and other places, those rebellious thieves have received the news and fled in advance, and now their whereabouts are unknown."

The cronies handed over the bamboo slips in their hands to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan looked at the contents one by one, and his expression was not surprised.

From the time those Zhao clan relatives were arrested, Bai Yan and Yang Lao knew that the thieves in other places would definitely receive the news and flee in advance.

Other places are not like Yanmen, there are many scholars, the relations between various places are intertwined, and the officials and scholars collude with each other.

It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to arrest people.

"Send this news to the county guard!"

After Bai Yan finished reading the bamboo slips, he asked his cronies to take them to Yang Duanhe.

Now in Yanmen, the supervisor has not yet been appointed, and Yang Duanhe is the county guard, he is the county lieutenant, and this matter still needs to be informed to Yang Lao.

Thinking that after meeting Wei Lao, he was going to see Zhao Bian and see how many stirrups were installed.

Bai Yan was also very curious about Zhao Bian's combat effectiveness after riding with stirrups.

What's more, there's also the heavy ride.

"General! Outside the mansion, the Yu family came to ask for a meeting! ”

Suddenly, a servant hurriedly came to the pavilion and informed the Yu clan outside the mansion to come to see, and outside the Yu clan, there were a few famous scholars in Shanwu City.

When Bai Yan heard the servant's words, he knew that these scholars in Shanwu City should have learned that he and Yang Lao had reached Shanwu, so they all came to have a relationship and were familiar.

Thinking of this, Bai Yan looked at the Tyrant clan on the side.

"There are not many people, the Yu family prefers to go to the restaurant, he is not short of money, you drink, don't disturb me and my sister in the mansion."

Before the Tyrant could speak, Zhao Qiu on the side said softly.

Zhao Qiu knew that the Yu clan was quite famous in Zhao Land, and the reputation of his ancestors and the connections left behind were far from being comparable to ordinary scholars, not to mention that Zhao Biancai's general Yu He was a member of the Yu clan, even Yifang and HP were also very close to the Yu clan.

Therefore, Bai Yan will definitely not break the closeness of the Yu family.

This is also the case, Zhao Qiu, in line with the principle of not being able to see out of sight and calm down, asked Bai Yan to take those people to the restaurant.

The reason is that the reputation of the Violent Clan has not yet been arranged, and the rash appearance will definitely arouse suspicion.

Inside the gazebo.

The Storm looked at Bai Yan, and after Zhao Qiu's voice fell, he also softly told Bai Yan to go to the restaurant.

In the evening, she would boil hot soup and wait for Bai Yan to come back.

"Good!"

Bai Yan nodded, looking at the Storm Clan with some apologies, and couldn't have dinner together at home.

After saying a few words, Bai Yan turned around and left to see Old Wei.

Zhao Qiu and the Violent Clan looked at Bai Yan's departing back, unlike the Violent Clan, at this moment, Zhao Qiu's mind was full of doubts about Tian Wei.

Fang just looked at Bai Yan's appearance, and the woman's intuition told her that Bai Yan would definitely not tell her about it.

The more so.

Zhao Qiuyue wanted to know.
