Yin Pavilion Castle.

On the first day of going to Xianyang, because the carriage could not travel as fast as the war horse, before sunset, Bai Yan ordered to go to Yinguan City.

Yinguan Castle is located to the west of Yanmen, a city relatively close to the Yunzhong Mountains.

Because the iron cavalry reported in advance, when the carriage arrived at the Yin Pavilion City, the city guard and other officials were already waiting at the city gate.

The city keeper of Yinguan City, whose name is Fang Weng, is in his forties and is quite famous in Yinguan City.

And the city captain is the Yisheng he once saw, the son who can't get used to seeing the injustice of the world.

In the past, Yisheng had no power and was targeted everywhere, but after the investigation and plunder, Yisheng made meritorious contributions, and then he was transferred to Yinguan City as a city captain, managing the security in the city and the surrounding countryside, and had real power.

After the carriage stopped.

Bai Yan got down from the carriage and looked at the Yisheng and the city guard, Bai Yan hurriedly returned the salute.

Although the power is greater than that of Fang Weng, the city guard is also directly subordinate to the court of the Qin State, and is appointed and dismissed by the court.

As a city guard, Fang Weng was able to come to the city gate to greet him in person, and he had already given Bai Yan face.

"Fang Weng, meet the county lieutenant!"

"Yisheng, meet the county lieutenant!"

While Fang Weng was talking, Yisheng also looked at Bai Yan.

After a few months, seeing each other again, no one is more emotional than Yisheng, seeing that Yanmen County is now full of vitality again, Yisheng is not only glad that he did not see the wrong person, but also rejoicing for the people of Yanmen.

Only by personally experiencing what happened to Yanmen can we know how valuable it is that Yanmen can have today's scene.

"Bai Yan, I've seen the two!"

While Bai Yan was talking, he also vaguely heard movement from the carriage not far behind him.

After the ceremony, Bai Yan looked back at Jing Ke and the others who had just stepped out of the carriage beside the Yanguo carriage behind him.

Turned his head to look at the house.

"This time, I'm also bothering the Fangcheng guards to settle the Yan envoy!"

Bai Yan said to Fang Weng.

Although Bai Yan knew that the purpose of Jing Ke's trip was to assassinate Ying Zheng, he still couldn't get around that premise.

Before Jing Ke took action, he was still an envoy of the Yan State, but he was still a Yan envoy with the map of Du Kang and the head of Fan Yu.

For the Qin State, Jing Ke is not only a guest, but also to treat each other with courtesy, but also to show the people of the world, others go to Qin with sincerity, and Qin will not slack off.

"Don't worry, Weng, you have already prepared a place to stay in the city!"

Fang Weng raised his hand to Bai Yan to salute.

While Bai Yan and Fang Weng were talking, at this time, Jing Ke and the others also followed the carriage and slowly stepped forward from behind.

Under Bai Yan's introduction, Fang Weng made rituals with Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang one by one.

When he saw Fang Weng, whether it was Jing Ke or Qin Wuyang, he didn't know him, and he didn't pay too much attention to it in his heart, so he slowly raised his hand and simply raised his hand to return the salute.

Inside the Castle of the Underworld.

The group followed Fang Weng to a very large mansion.

Along the way, Fang Weng and Yisheng both walked beside Bai Yan, leading the way while informing Bai Yan of the current situation in Yinguan City.

Jing Ke, who was wearing the official uniform of Yan State, followed behind with Qin Wuyang, listening with emotion on his face.

Although I don't know who is more powerful than Bai Yan between him and Qin Wuyang in terms of martial arts, but in terms of cultural governance, he and Qin Wuyang are not as good as the young Bai Yan.

From experiencing natural and man-made disasters, the people are not able to make a living, and people are cannibalistic, and now the people are recuperating.

Jing Ke, who passed through the Daidi, saw with his own eyes the gap between other places and Yanmen.

A moment later.

Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang were taken to two rooms next to each other.

Watching Bai Yan and his party leave, Qin Wuyang looked at the room and then came to Jing Ke's room.

"Jing Qing!"

After Qin Wuyang entered the room, he saluted Jing Ke.

In Yan State, Gongzi Dan has always respected Jing Ke as the secretary, so in terms of status, although Qin Wuyang is the grandson of Qin Kai, the general of Yan State, he is still not as good as Jing Ke, let alone Jing Ke as the leader of this trip.

"What?"

Jing Ke looked at Qin Wuyang's sullen appearance, and couldn't help but ask with a curious smile.

Under Jing Ke's gaze, Qin Wuyang deliberately mentioned that when he was in Shanwu City in the morning, he saw Bai Yan rushing with his beautiful concubine.

"Bai Yan with a beautiful concubine?"

Jing Ke was a little surprised, but he didn't notice.

And listening to it later, looking at Qin Wuyang's dodgy eyes, Jing Ke immediately knew that Qin Wuyang was too bored and wanted to have fun.

But right now, Jing Ke is worried that the competitive Qin Wuyang will leave, and something will happen in his life.

"No matter what Bai Yan does, we still have to find a way to find an opportunity to try Bai Yan's skills."

Jing Ke deliberately diverted the topic and said.

Jing Ke also thought a lot along the way, and the most worrying thing was that he didn't know Bai Yan's martial arts, and he didn't know if he could kill Bai Yan smoothly when Qin Wuyang went to assassinate Ying Zheng in the palace of Xianyang of Qin State in the future.

"Good!"

Qin Wuyang nodded when he heard Jing Ke's words.

Looking at Jing Ke, Qin Wuyang did not succeed, and naturally knew that Jing Ke deliberately diverted the topic.

Qin Wuyang was also a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Previously, when he was in Yan Kingdom, Prince Dan not only regarded Jing Ke as the secretary, but also went to greet Jing Ke every day, provided Jing Ke with delicacies from the mountains and seas, sumptuous banquets, prepared rare treasures, and offered chariots, horses and beauties from time to time to let Jing Ke do whatever he wanted.

He asked Jing Ke about these on the way, and Jing Ke bluntly admitted that this was indeed the case.

Now Jing Ke naturally doesn't want anything.

But fortunately, Jing Ke's proposal also made Qin Wuyang's heart faintly ignite a competitive heart.

As soon as he thought of Bai Yan, Qin Wuyang was also eager to see Bai Yan defeated in front of him and admit that he was inferior to him.

........

Late at night.

Outside the study of a mansion in the Yin Pavilion City, Bai Yan was standing in the corridor in the night, and there was candlelight coming from the study behind him.

A moment later.

A figure walked slowly from a distance.

"The county lieutenant looking for me?"

Yisheng walked lightly to Bai Yan's side and saluted Bai Yan.

Bai Yan looked sideways at Yisheng.

"How about coming here?"

Bai Yan asked.

Yisheng was a little surprised when he heard Bai Yan's inquiry, after all, he didn't expect Bai Yan to take the initiative to care about him.

"Tsubasa is in Yin Pavilion City, everything is fine!"

Yisheng said to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan turned his head and looked at the night outside the window.

"That's fine, when I investigated the looting and selling in the past, I went with you to ......"

Looking at the sky, Bai Yan mentioned the matter of investigating the plundering at the beginning, remembering the pressure at that time, and the consequences he was clearly facing, and his heart was full of sighs.

At that time, I really didn't think that I would be able to survive so smoothly.

"The people of Yanmen should be grateful to the county lieutenant!"

Yisheng stood aside and listened, following Bai Yan's words, recalling the investigation of the plunder.

At this moment, Yisheng also sighed.

He was one of the few people who knew what had happened, and he could best understand the pressure on the lieutenant in front of him at that time.

At the beginning, he heard with his own ears that the names of Qin State officials were confessed, and he also saw with his own eyes that one by one the generals of the Qin Army were detained and knelt on the ground, who dared to imagine the pressure of Bai Yan at that time.

Ultimately.

Bai Yan ordered everyone to be executed.

When he heard that order, even though a long time had passed, Yisheng still remembered it clearly, and he was shocked and couldn't believe it at that time.

All the Qin officials and generals of the Qin army involved in the incident, without exception, were all executed.

This is something that Yisheng never dared to imagine.

"If it weren't for the fact that the general was the master of the people of Yanmen in the past, and ordered to ride the canal, how could there be such a situation in Yanmen now."

Yisheng stood beside Bai Yan, looked at the outside of the eaves, and turned his head to look at Bai Yan with reverence.

Under the hallway.

With a long time of small talk, the atmosphere is full of melancholy.

"Yisheng, how much do you know about the city guard?"

Bai Yan suddenly asked, and also said the purpose of letting Yisheng come over this time.

Yisheng was a little puzzled when he heard Bai Yan's words, and fell into deep thought.

"What do you mean?"

Yisheng looked at Bai Yan.

"Help me keep an eye on the landlord, especially the people he comes into contact with in private."

Bai Yan turned his head and looked at Yisheng.

Yinguan City is close to the Yunzhong Mountains, and if Guo Zong wants to send iron ore from the clouds to the northern Xiongnu, it is likely that someone will help him secretly.

And the geographical location of Yin Pavilion City is very special, and before Zhao Qiu found out the news, Bai Yan was not sure.

Right now, he happened to pass through Yin Pavilion City, and when he saw Yisheng, Bai Yan wanted Yisheng to help pay attention to it.

For Yisheng, Bai Yan is still trustworthy.

After all, Yisheng was involved in the plundering and sale at the beginning, and he didn't tell Yisheng the purpose at this time, but just asked him to help keep an eye on Fang Weng.

"No!"

When Yisheng heard Bai Yan's words, although he was puzzled, he nodded without hesitation.

"By the way, General, I heard that the general asked the side cavalry to go north?"

Yisheng saw Bai Yan turn his head to look at the dark starry sky, thought about it, and still asked the question in his heart.

Although Yisheng did not lead the troops, he also knew that since the Huns had returned the Yanmen women to Yanmen, this was already soft.

Why did Bai Yan send troops north.

After all, once you really fight with the Xiongnu, the gains outweigh the losses, and it is better to focus on annexing the land.

"I want to expand my territory further north!"

Bai Yan didn't hide it.

"Expand your territory?"

When Yisheng heard Bai Yan's words, his brows tightened even more, and he wanted to open his mouth to persuade Bai Yan to express his opinion.

I didn't think about it.

Suddenly, I saw Bai Yan turn his head and look at him.

"Have you ever seen a piece of earth that can be exchanged for money?"

Bai Yan suddenly said with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, Bai Yan saw Yisheng's stunned face, and then shook his head with a ridiculous face.

"Dirt for money? Is this a joke? ”

Yisheng said with a smile.

In Yisheng's eyes, how can soil be exchanged for money, it is not a city, and it is not a country.

in the hallway.

Bai Yan looked at Yisheng's disbelieving appearance and didn't explain too much.

The so-called land for money, this is not a joke, Bai Yan knows very well that in the north of the Yunzhong Mountains, is the Hetao, the Hetao area is all fertile land, the soil is fertile to black, the water and grass are fertile, and it is the most important horse farm for the Xiongnu.

】

In later generations, those black soils were also called black soils.

In this world, all cultivation is in the cultivated fields, what is reclamation, between the mountains and rivers, and the wilderness.

Therefore, there is not enough horse dung and cow dung as fertilizer, and the fields cultivated by the people actually receive very little food, which is generally passed down for a hundred years, or is fine next to the Candle River, but if it is in those fields that have only been cultivated for less than a few years, the harvest is pitiful, and even people can starve to death.

However, the black land of the Hetao is a place where even horse dung and cow dung cannot be fertilized.

There are too many explanations for these at the moment, and Yisheng doesn't understand it.

Only when it is really taken from the Xiongnu in the future, Yisheng will know.
