Chapter 372: Jing Ke's Request
Outside the main hall gate, when there was a sound of footsteps, within a few breaths, a young man appeared in Jing Ke's sight.
Although the young man was just wearing ordinary black clothes, he did not have the official uniform of the Qin State on his body, let alone wearing a knight, but looking at the respectful attitude of the servant who led the way, Jing Ke immediately guessed that the young man should be the Qin general Bai Yan.
Although he had prepared before, at this time, when he saw Bai Yan with his own eyes, Jing Ke couldn't help but be shocked by Bai Yan's youth.
The rumors are true!
That Bai Yan was really young, and he was made a general by the Qin State.
Between thoughts.
Jing Ke's gaze shifted, and in the next moment, when he saw the woman behind the young man appear, in an instant, even Jing Ke couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.
What a beautiful woman!
This was the first time Jing Ke saw the woman, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In Yan Kingdom, he is Yan Dan's throne, and beauties have naturally seen it, not to mention that Yan Dan specially selected more than 20 beauties from Yan Kingdom to him.
However, looking at the charming and seductive woman, Jing Ke said in all fairness, he had never seen that woman, who could be like that woman, so charming, it was simply a natural stunner.
Fortunately, thinking of his wife and daughter in Yan Kingdom, Jing Ke came back to his senses and stabilized his thoughts.
Seeing the young man enter the main hall, Jing Ke took the scepter leaning against the wooden table beside him, slowly got up, and raised his hand to salute the young man under his swallow clothes.
"Presumably General Bai! Yan envoy Jing Ke, meet General Bai! β
Jing Ke took the lead in compiling the ceremony.
The reason why he came to Yanmen Shanwu here on this trip was nothing more than for the young man in front of him.
Yan Dan once bluntly said that in addition to assassinating Yingzheng on this trip, he must also assassinate the Qin general Bai Yan in front of him, because of Yingzheng's incident, the Qin State will definitely be furious, and when the time comes, the Qin general Bai Yan stationed in Yanmen will be the disaster of the Yan State.
And he is the person responsible for assassinating Bai Yan.
Qin Wuyang was young and not easy to be suspected, so Qin Wuyang presented the map to Yingzheng, and then assassinated.
Inside the main hall.
As soon as Bai Yan entered the main hall, he naturally saw the envoy of the Yan Kingdom with a scepter beside him, and now he only felt a name when he heard the Yan envoy say it, Bai Yan's heart was shocked.
Jing Ke!
Sure enough, this time Yan Dan was preparing to assassinate Yingzheng.
In an instant, in Bai Yan's mind, the famous 'Jing Ke Thorn Qin' that had been passed down for thousands of years appeared in Bai Yan's mind.
Yan Zhao is mostly a person of sorrow, among which Yan, a large part of the reason is because of Jing Ke.
The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone, this sentence is because of this incident, and it has been passed down to future generations.
Looking at the man named Jing Ke in front of him, Bai Yan raised his hand quietly and slowly saluted.
"Bai Yan, I've seen Yan Envoy!"
Bai Yan spoke.
In fact, Bai Yan was also very surprised at the moment, why did Jing Ke come to Shanwucheng, and said that he was here to visit him.
If he had known that Jing Ke would come to Shanwucheng, he and Wei Lao would not have had to let Tieqi leave Yanmen.
After the ceremony.
Bai Yan looked at the other side quietly, the young man kneeling behind the wooden table, the young man looked like he was four or five years younger than him.
If Bai Yan didn't guess wrong, he should be Qin Wuyang, the warrior who was very famous in Yandi in the records.
"Ahem~!"
Jing Ke pretended to cough and reminded Qin Wuyang behind the wooden table opposite.
Jing Ke also knew in his heart that he didn't blame Qin Wuyang for being so rude, just now when he saw the woman beside Qin General Bai Yan, he also lost his mind instantly.
"Ahh
Qin Wuyang heard Jing Ke's cough, and the familiar voice sounded, and he suddenly came back to his senses, but his eyes were still full of greed and looked at the woman beside the young man.
Although Qin Wuyang is young, he was born in the Yan Guoshi clan and was a general of Yan, Qin Wuyang has already been familiar with the affairs of men and women.
The same is true.
Right now, for the first time in his life, Qin Wuyang is extremely eager to be able to kidnap that woman and go back, and enjoy this kind of beauty in the world.
"Shen Ji, I've seen Yan Envoy!"
After Bai Yan and Jing Ke finished the ceremony, Zhao Qiu, like Bai Yan's wife and concubine, obediently beside Bai Yan and Jing Ke.
At this moment, looking at the envoy of the Yan Kingdom who had never been seen in front of him, Zhao Qiu's heart that had been hanging was finally put down.
Yan Guo sued for peace, and did not hesitate to present the map of the governor for this reason, such an important matter, the envoys who sent to Qin State had never even seen her, nor were they the ministers of Yan State she knew, Zhao Qiu had already decided that behind Yan Guo's peace this time, it was by no means simple.
"Yan envoy Jing Ke! I've seen Shin Hee! β
Jing Ke saw the woman beside Bai Yan and saluted herself, and only then did she know that this rare beauty was named Shen Ji.
"Old Yang!"
Bai Yan didn't even glance at Qin Wuyang, ignored Qin Wuyang, and took the lead in saluting Yang Lao Ji above the main hall.
The sound of Zhao Qiu and Jing Ke greeting him was heard in his ears, and Bai Yan was not worried in his heart.
Zhao Qiu is not going to mess around here, it is not good for her, now Zhao Qiu does not know his plan with Wei Lao, let alone know, he already knows that Jing Ke is going to assassinate Yingzheng this time.
So stand in Zhao Qiu's position.
At present, being honest and responsible by his side is the best choice.
"Sit!"
Yang Duanhe returned the salute to Bai Yan, and then let Bai Yan take a seat, no need to be polite.
Looking at the woman named Shen Ji, Yang Duanhe couldn't help but marvel at her beauty in his heart, but the elderly Yang Duanhe had seen countless people, naturally it would not be like Jing Ke.
And unlike Jing Ke, Yang Lao was more surprised not by the woman's beauty, but by Bai Yan.
Because he and Bai Yan have always been in Shanwucheng, this is the first time he has seen Bai Yan come with a female scroll.
"Shen Ji, meet Yang Junshou!"
After Zhao Qiu and Jing Ke made a salute at this time, he turned to look at Yang Duanhe and slowly saluted.
Although Yang Duanhe is a lot older, because Qin and Zhao were mortal enemies before the Battle of Changping, the relationship was even more tense after the Battle of Changping.
Therefore, Yang Duanhe, who had been leading troops when he was young, had never seen Zhao Qiu, the former princess of Zhao Kingdom, and naturally couldn't recognize it now.
"Sit!"
Yang Duanhe nodded, treating Zhao Qiu very politely.
Of course, this politeness is all because of Bai Yan at the moment, Zhao Qiu is the female scroll brought by Bai Yan, and Yang Duanhe is naturally courteous.
At this time, Jing Ke also introduced the deputy envoy Qin Wuyang to Bai Yan, as well as two Yan officials, one named Lian Bi and the other called Huan Min.
"Bai Yan, I've seen three!"
Bai Yan saluted the three of them separately.
At present, there is no war between the Qin State and the Yan State, and Bai Yan, as an official of the Qin State, will naturally not lose his manners in this regard and fall into the hands of others.
"Qin Wuyang, I've seen General Bai!"
Unlike other middle-aged officials in the past two years, Qin Wuyang's eyes had been looking at Zhao Qiu from time to time, and when he heard Bai Yanji's salute, Qin Wuyang came back to his senses.
Right now, Qin Wuyang looked at the young Bai Yan in front of him, and a touch of contempt flashed in his eyes.
Different from Jing Ke, Jing Ke is just a branch of the Jing clan of Chu State, and its bloodline has been traced back to the decline of more than 100 years ago.
But he Qin Wuyang is a child of the scholar clan, Qin Wuyang thinks that in terms of background, his Qin clan and the Bai clan are not far apart, and his Qin clan's status in the Yan country is even higher than that of the Bai clan in the Qin country.
As for Bai Yan's past achievements.
Qin Wuyang felt that if he was given the first time to lead the Bai Clan's Iron Cavalry, he could too.
In terms of courage, he Qin Wuyang is definitely not weak Qin General Bai Yan.
Qin General Bai Yan is not a few years older than him, it is not just luck, if it is replaced by him, he is also not weak Qin General Bai Yan.
Inside the main hall.
After Bai Yanji finished the ceremony, he naturally felt that Qin Wuyang was looking at him, and there was a competitive heart in his eyes.
Bai Yan didn't care about this, turned around and walked towards the wooden table.
Seeing this, Jing Ke was also relieved.
Jing Ke, who has been wandering in the rivers and lakes, naturally it is impossible not to notice Qin Wuyang's competitive heart.
Jing Ke knew very well that Qin Wuyang was still young, and because of his prestige in Yan Kingdom, when he saw Bai Yan, who was also young, his heart would definitely rise under his vigor, and he would definitely be unconvinced when he looked at Bai Yan.
Fang Cai Jing Ke saw Qin Wuyang looking at the woman beside Bai Yan with a straight look in his eyes, and he was really worried that Qin Wuyang was too imposing and wanted to behave in front of the beauty, and when the time came, if one was not good, he would clash with Bai Yan.
You must know that this is in Yanmen, not in Yanguo, if there is a conflict, although Bai Yan does not dare to kill the two of them, it is also troublesome.
Seeing that Qin General Bai Yan didn't care now, Jing Ke was relieved.
Speaking of which, Jing Ke was actually very curious in his heart, was Bai Yan really as strong as rumored? I don't know which one is stronger or weaker between Qin Wuyang and Bai Yan.
Although Bai Yan enlisted in the army to kill the enemy, Qin Wuyang was also not far behind, Bai Yan became famous two years ago, and Bai Yan at that time should be a few years older than Qin Wuyang.
And Qin Wuyang is at this age, in Yan Kingdom, he already dares to kill, and even glaring angrily, no one dares to look directly.
Pity.
Yan Dan said that the best way to use Qin Wuyang's age this time is to assassinate Yingzheng by Qin Wuyang.
And ...... for yourself
Jing Ke looked at the young man who was walking towards the wooden table, remembered Yan Dan's instructions, and quietly looked in his heart, in the future in the Xianyang Palace, when Qin Wuyang assassinated Ying Zheng, was he sure that he would kill that Bai Yan.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Yan came to the wooden table, knelt down, and waited for Zhao Qiu to kneel behind him and ask softly.
"It's okay, the general doesn't need to pay attention to Shin Ji!"
Zhao Qiu explained with a smile when he heard Bai Yan's relationship.
It's okay that Zhao Qiu didn't smile, and when he smiled, he suddenly made Qin Wuyang on the other side look straight again.
Looking at the woman who made him extremely eager to get it and looking at Bai Yan with a smile, Qin Wuyang's eyes looking at Bai Yan at this moment were not only red with envy, but also a trace of resentment and hatred.
Why didn't he meet such a woman?
That Qin general Bai Yan is now famous and profitable, and there is such a beauty by his side, why, why is Bai Yan!
It would be nice to give it to him!
"If there is something, then tell Master Xu!"
Bai Yan instructed Zhao Qiu.
At this moment, behind Zhao Qiu's side, Xu Shi was standing.
"Well, thank you, General!"
When Zhao Qiu heard Bai Yan's words, he couldn't hear Bai Yan's words, and didn't look at Bai Yan again.
At this moment, Zhao Qiu's heart was full of doubts, the deputy envoy of Yan Guo was actually a young man who was younger than Bai Yan!
Inside the main hall.
With a moment of small talk, Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe glanced at each other, and then looked at Jing Ke.
"I don't know if the Yan envoy is coming, but what is the so-called matter?"
Yang Duanhe was the first to ask Jing Ke's intentions.
Regarding Jing Ke's arrival, not only Bai Yan was surprised, but Yang Duanhe also didn't understand, after all, he didn't take the road of Handan, but took the road of Yanmen, if there was nothing to do, Yang Duanhe naturally didn't believe it.
After all, whether it was him or Bai Yan, they didn't know this envoy of the Yan Kingdom, and they had never seen it.
"Don't hide it from Yang Junshou, this time, Jing Ke does have something to ask for!"
Jing Ke knelt behind the wooden table, heard Yang Duanhe's inquiry, and hurriedly smiled and saluted.
"This time, Jing Ke was ordered by King Yan to dedicate the city to the Qin State, which is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, Jing Ke did not dare to let it have the slightest mistake, so he specially came to Yanmen, hoping that General Bai could personally go to Xianyang with Jing Ke for the sake of diplomatic relations."
As Jing Ke spoke, he turned his head to look at Bai Yan, who was also kneeling on the side, and arched his hand.
"In the previous incident of Zhongmu City, General Bai acted decisively, which made the thieves frightened, so if General Bai escorted him, he must not dare to stop Qin Yan's kindness this time."
Jing Ke explained.
While speaking, he also deliberately mentioned the matter of Zhongmu City, telling Bai Yan that they had all heard about the anti-thieves in Zhongmu City, and now they were also afraid that Zhao Di would have turmoil again.
They were envoys of the Yan State, and they did not dare to lead hundreds of soldiers into the land of the Qin State, so they could only come to Bai Yan and bother Bai Yan to accompany them to Xianyang.
Bai Yan heard Jing Ke's words and didn't speak in a hurry.
"I see!"
Yang Duanhe heard Jing Ke's words and nodded slowly, Yang Duanhe could understand the explanation of this envoy of the Yan Kingdom.
The previous incident in Zhongmu City sounded really scary, but fortunately Bai Yan investigated it, otherwise I don't know how serious the consequences were, and it was normal for the envoys of the Yan State to have these worries.
What's more, Yang Duanhe also knows that the last thing that Wei or Chu wants to see is that Yan surrenders to Qin.
After all, compared to the submission of the Yan State, those who advocated an alliance against Qin in Wei and Chu might really use the means to destroy the land of the Yan State.
Come to think of it.
Yang Duanhe turned his head to look at Bai Yan.
Bai Yan also looked at Yang Duanhe at this moment.
While the two looked at each other, Yang Duanhe nodded slightly, which was also to inform Bai Yan that he also agreed with the proposal of the envoy of the Yan State.
After all, the matter of sacrificing land is very important, and if Bai Yan personally leads the Bai clan iron cavalry to escort it, it will be foolproof and reassuring.
Behind a wooden table.
Zhao Qiu learned that Jing Ke, the envoy of the Yan State, came to Shanwu, and actually wanted Bai Yan to lead the troops to escort him, at this moment Zhao Qiu's face was full of shock, and then he kept changing, and the slender hands under the wooden table were writing the corners of his clothes.
Looking at the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, the Yan envoy who saw it for the first time, Zhao Qiu's heart was full of helplessness at this time, the Yan envoy wearing the official uniform of the Yan Kingdom did not know Bai Yan's methods, she was clear.
What she was most afraid of before was to let Bai Yan participate in this matter.
Who would have thought that the Yan envoy would actually take the initiative to come to Yanmen and ask Bai Yan to escort him to Xianyang.
Could it be that he wanted Bai Yan to be condemned for something?
What is Yan Guo planning?
Zhao Qiu didn't understand, but at this moment Zhao Qiu was a little worried in his heart.
"Besides, Jing Ke also came with Fan Yuzhi's head on this trip and dedicated it to King Qin! In the past, before the rebellion of Fan Yuzhi, many generals were deeply favored by Fan Yuzhi, after the rebellion of Fan Yuzhi, King Yingzheng of Qin ordered a reward of thousands of gold and ten thousand households wanted, but still could not be caught, and asked General Bai to think twice! β
γ
Jing Ke didn't notice Zhao Qiu's gaze, and still kept persuading Bai Yan, hoping that Bai Yan would lead the troops to escort him.
Fan Yu's first level, this is also the reason why Jing Ke is sure to come here in Shanwucheng and persuade Bai Yan to escort him.
"General Bai, it may indeed be better for you to escort this matter! Matters! β
Yang Duanhe was very surprised when he heard that Fan Yuzhi's head was also brought by Jing Ke, and turned his head to look at Bai Yan, and his eyes also paid attention to it.
At the beginning, Fan Yuzhi was in the Qin State, and he hyped up the reign of King Yingzheng of Qin, not the son of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, but the son of LΓΌ Buwei.
This insult to King Xiang of Qin Zhuang and insult Yingzheng caused a sensation in the world at that time, and even within the Qin State, there was almost turmoil, and the throne of Yingzheng was shaken.
This is also the case, and then Ying Zhengfang will order a reward for Fan Yuzhi's head, rewarding thousands of gold and 10,000 households, this reward is unprecedented, but just like this, Fan Yuzhi still fled to Yan Kingdom.
Arguably.
With Yang Duanhe's understanding of Ying Zheng, Fan Yuzhi's head may be more important than the map in Ying Zheng's heart.
"Good! That Bai Yan will write a letter and let people send it to Xianyang first! Yanmen things, please Yang Lao! Bai Yan personally went to Xianyang with Yan Envoy. β
Bai Yan heard Yang Duanhe's words, nodded slowly, turned his head to look at Jing Ke, and agreed.
Looked at.
Yang Duanhe breathed a sigh of relief and nodded at Bai Yan.
On the other side, Jing Ke was also relieved when he saw Bai Yan agree.
The other two ministers of the Yan Kingdom glanced at each other and nodded.
Even the corners of Qin Wuyang's mouth rose faintly, fleetingly, looking at Bai Yan, full of unconvinced, and there was some expectation in his eyes.
Inside the main hall.
In Bai Yan's reply, hearing Bai Yan's words, the only one who became nervous was Zhao Qiu beside Bai Yan.
Zhao Qiumei's eyes looked at the side face of the young man beside her silently, as if she wanted to know what the young man was thinking through the expression on the young man's face.
Thinking of what the young man had done, Zhao Qiuqiao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and after thinking about it, he turned his pretty face and looked at Jing Ke and a few people in the main hall.
For some reason, seeing Bai Yan agree, Zhao Qiu's heart was even more worried.
But at the moment, Zhao Qiu didn't know if he was too worried, and it was impossible for him to speak.
The only thing he could do was to pray in his heart that Bai Yan would not find anything this time, and no matter what Yan Guo was planning, it would go smoothly.
Half an hour later, it was agreed to leave tomorrow, and Bai Yan took Zhao Qiu out of the mansion.
Before leaving, Zhao Qiu also looked for an opportunity to ask an envoy of the Yan State some things.
Bai Yan watched from the side, and waited for Zhao Qiu to finish asking before leaving.
However, before leaving, Bai Yan noticed Qin Wuyang's eyes again, and turned to look at him from Zhao Qiu.
Although Qin Wuyang was smiling on his face, Bai Yan felt that Qin Wuyang was looking at him more playfully.
...........
Back to the mansion.
Inside the study.
"What? The envoy of the Yan State came to Shanwu and asked you to escort him to Xianyang? β
Wei Lao stood in front of the window, turned his head in surprise, and looked at Bai Yan.
"Hmmm! It has been agreed upon, in order to prevent long nights and dreams, we will set off tomorrow! β
Bai Yan looked at Wei Lao's appearance, and he couldn't cry or laugh either.
Previously, he had exhausted the calculations with Wei Lao, and discussed them overnight, but the result was good, Jing Ke actually took the initiative to send it to the door.
However, this time Bai Yan not only saved effort, but also had an additional gain, that is, Zhao Qiu had promised to help him use his connections, as well as the eyeliner buried in Handan, to investigate Guo Zong.
"Good, good!"
Wei Lao looked at Bai Yan's appearance and paced back and forth in the study.
"Jing Ke! The old man has never heard of this person, you said that the calluses in the hands of Yan envoy Jing Ke are the calluses sharpened by practicing the sword, then most of this time Jing Ke is not from a lobbyist, and Yan Guo dedicates land, and there is indeed a plan! β
Wei Lao analyzed slowly, then stopped and looked at Bai Yan.
"There is only one last point at the moment, back to Xianyang, the court of the Qin State can't hold a sword! Since you can be sent by Yan Dan, the martial arts must be good, if you are injured at that time, the blade is likely to be poisoned, no one dares to guarantee what poison it is, even several poisons, remember, you would rather die than be injured! β
Wei Lao looked at Bai Yan and asked, his old eyes were full of concern.
Everything is ready now, but Wei Lao's bottom line is not to allow Bai Yan to make mistakes, and now Bai Yan is his beloved disciple and his personal disciple.
Between meritorious service and the comfort of his life, Wei Lao would rather let Ying Zheng die, and also hope that Bai Yan would be safe and sound, and not make a merit that is likely to have only one chance.
What's more, Wei Lao knows that now Bai's iron cavalry and side cavalry are all following Bai Yan, once Bai Yan has an accident, it is no exaggeration to say that Yanmen is bound to be in chaos, and other forces will definitely take the opportunity to disturb Yanmen.
"Disciple is clear!"
Bai Yan looked at Wei Lao's appearance, felt warmth in his heart, and slowly saluted Wei Lao.
At this time, Bai Yan hesitated, but decided to inform Wei Lao of the Bai family's affairs.
