Inside the carriage, Xiaogu felt the very slow speed of the carriage after entering the city, listening to the extremely lively noise outside, and his heart was full of anticipation.

Because if the news I received before was correct, then my nephew should also be in Xianyang City now.

Come to think of it.

He was in a very happy mood.

It has been more than two years since he first saw him in Xincheng, and although he was in Chu State, he had never been in contact with his nephew, but he often heard news from his nephew, but every time, he was taken aback by what his little nephew did.

Zhan Yue's clan, the Huns, led the troops to attack Zhao, and fought with Li Mu, all of which finally made Xiao Gu clear that the seemingly false words of his mother at the beginning were really not lies.

The nephew's kid is really a knighted general and a general.

Listening to the small talk of Xiang Liang and the others behind him, Xiao Gu did not participate.

An hour later.

As the carriage slowly drove to a more secluded place and stopped, he heard the groom say something outside, so he quickly got up and walked out of the carriage.

Looking at the Prime Minister's Mansion in front of him, Xiao Gu touched the sword on his waist.

The reason why he wears a sword is not because he is good at martial arts, but because he is a man, he naturally likes swords, and with the gradual improvement of his status in the past two years, in addition to silk clothes and jade ornaments, he naturally has to carry a sword to show his identity.

"Brother Liang!"

Xiao Gu turned his head to look at Xiang Liang who got off the carriage.

"Let's go!"

Xiang Liang nodded at Xiao Gu, looking at the prime minister's mansion with white silk hanging in front of him, Xiang Liang took the lead and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

Behind Xiang Liang, the two Chu scholars glanced around, and then saw Xiao Gu and Xiang Liang walking towards Xiangfu, and hurriedly followed behind.

Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Under the leadership of the servants, Xiang Liang and Xiao Gu and others soon met Changping Jun's second son, Mi Hong, who wore linen and filial piety.

For Mi Hong, whether it is Xiang Liang or Xiao Gu, he is no stranger.

Previously, if there was any news about Changping Jun, it was basically sent to the State of Chu and handed over to Mi Hong, who had always lived in the State of Chu.

So they're all very familiar.

"Zizhong, mourning!"

Xiang Liang saw Mi Hong and raised his hand to salute.

Xiao Gu was also following Xiang Liang, and he greeted Qi Hong and comforted him softly.

You can see it.

Having experienced the pain of losing his eldest brother, Mi Hong, who is in his early twenties, seems to have grown a lot over time, although his face is tired and tired, and his eyes are full of dark circles, but compared with the appearance of the gentleman who used to like to have fun, he is silent now, and the difference is still very obvious.

"Brother Xiang Liang, Brother Xiao Gu!"

When Mi Hong saw Xiang Liang and Xiao Gu, he raised his hand and slowly returned the salute.

After the ceremony.

Mi Hong also bowed to the two people behind Xiang Liang.

"Brother Yan Shou, Brother Qi Heng!"

When he was in Chu State, Mi Hong drank and had fun with the four people in front of him, and he did not take care of these four people, so although the eldest brother Mi Marsh was assassinated in Chu State, the murderer has not been found so far, but for the four people in front of him, after Mi Hong finished the ceremony, he still turned sideways and made a gesture to the four people to please.

Seeing this, Xiang Liang and Xiao Gu glanced at each other, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and all the worries along the way dissipated.

Looking at Mi Hong with gratitude, Xiang Liang and Xiao Gu gave a salute, and then motioned for Mi Hong to walk in front.

But before a few people could leave.

Suddenly, under the corridor in the direction of the mansion gate, a servant came running with a panicked expression.

"Something's wrong, gentleman!"

The servant's voice made Xiang Liang and Xiao Shi stop one after another, and Yan Shou and Qi Heng also stood in place, looking at the servant.

"What's so alarming?"

Qi Hong frowned slightly, looked at the servant who came and asked.

Under Mi Hong's gaze, the servant panted, glanced at the four people on the side, and then looked at Mi Hong and saluted Mi Hong.

"Gentleman, there is news from the palace that the envoys of the Yan Kingdom are in the main hall with a hidden dagger in the name of offering the land, and they are trying to assassinate the king when they are dedicated!"

The servant said to Mi Hong.

Words.

In an instant, everyone's hearts were shocked, and the child's hole shrank.

"What? Assassination wins ......"

"Yan Guo!

！ ”

Yan Shou and Qi Heng muttered with shock.

Xiang Liang and Xiao Shi also looked at each other, and the two who heard the news couldn't believe their ears, wondering if Yan Guo was crazy, and dared to assassinate them in the name of offering pictures at this time.

And Mi Hong, who was wearing mourning clothes, was no better, with a distracted face on his cheeks, his eyes full of astonishment.

Assassination?

Did Yan Guo eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall?

Qi Hong lost his mind and suddenly came back to his senses, but Xiang Liang was the first to come back to his senses.

"That King of Qin is ...... now"

Xiang Liang breathed rapidly, felt a sharp heartbeat in his heart, and looked at the servant to ask, and couldn't help but look forward to it.

Although he didn't know where Yan Guo had the courage to assassinate Ying Zheng, but now that he heard the news, Xiang Liang was extremely eager to hear the news that the matter was successful.

As long as Yingzheng dies, the situation in the world will definitely change dramatically, and the court of Qin will also fall into chaos.

The young monarch succeeded to the throne as the king, and the power would definitely be held by the important ministers at that time, and the best result would only be like the original Yingzheng, who was set aside by the ministers, and within ten years, there would be no achievements at all.

And that's still the best outcome!

Thinking of this, Xiang Liang even trembled with excitement, and looked at the servant anxiously, wanting to know the result immediately.

“......”

When the servant heard Xiang Liang's words, he didn't answer Xiang Liang, after all, the servant didn't know Xiang Liang, so he looked at Zhong Junzi Mihong for the first time.

"Not an outsider, say!"

Mi Hong naturally knew what the servant meant, and said without hesitation.

When Xiang Liang heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Mi Hong, and glanced at Mi Hong with gratitude.

This sentence is not an outsider, which made Xiang Liang very moved in his heart, and he also swore in his heart that no matter what, in the future, he would personally find the murderer who killed Mi Nu and hand it over to Mi Hong in person.

"Yes!"

When the servant heard Mi Hong's words, he bowed his hand and no longer had any scruples.

In the nervous and curious eyes of Xiang Liang's expectation, Xiao Gu and others, the servant told everything that happened in the palace.

"When the Yan envoy assassinated, it happened that Zuo Gengbai Yan was beside him, so the Yan envoy's assassination was stopped by Zuo Gengbai Yan, but according to the news from the palace, I heard that the dagger of the Yan envoy was smeared with poison, and Zuo Gengbai Yan was injured in order to save the king, and he was already in a coma, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead!"

The servant reported slowly.

When Xiang Liang heard that Yingzheng was not dead, his heart full of anticipation instantly fell to a low point, and his face was full of disappointment.

Yan Shou and Qi Heng also shook their heads with regret.

Only Xiao Gu, when he heard the servant's words, his eyes widened, his face was stunned, and his expression was sluggish.

It's the nephew who saved Yingzheng!

！

Now the nephew has been injured and poisoned?

Xiao Gu's whole body trembled, his lips turned white, but fortunately, no one noticed him at this time, whether it was Xiang Liang or others.

Xiao Gu was short of breath and his expression was full of worry, but he knew that he couldn't be discovered by Xiang Liang no matter what, so he tried to hide the worry in his heart, hoping that his nephew would be fine, and wondered if he could find an opportunity to meet his nephew.

At this moment, Xiao Gu can't imagine that if his nephew has a mistake, how he will face his elderly mother when he returns to Qi one day in the future!

"What's wrong? Brother Xiaogu? ”

Xiang Liang sighed in disappointment, Yingzheng did not die, which made Xiang Liang look lost, but when Xiang Liang turned his head, he found that Xiao Gu was short of breath, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his expression was a little uneasy.

Xiang Liang has great trust in the Gu who is the representative of the Qu family in front of him, and regards him as his lifelong friend.

"If the assassination fails, I'm afraid that Yan Guo will be in trouble!"

It was difficult for Xiao Gu to hide the worry in his heart, and after hearing Xiang Liang's inquiry, after coming back to his senses, he told Xiang Liang the 'truth'.

"I'm afraid that Yan Guo is in danger of losing the country!"

Qi Heng listened to Xiao Gu's words, looked at Xiao Gu who was wearing Chu costumes and carrying a sword, and also echoed approvingly.

This is not a good thing for the state of Chu.

"But why was that Yan envoy able to bring a dagger into the Xianyang Palace?"

Yan Shou suddenly spoke.

Hearing the words of Xiao Gu and Qi Heng, Yan Shou, who was born in a military family, was more concerned about why the envoys of the Yan State could go to the Xianyang Hall with daggers, you must know that the Xianyang Palace is heavily guarded, even if the envoys of other countries enter, they will be strictly ordered to search.

"According to the news from the palace, I heard that it is likely to be related to the middle concubine Meng Jia and the guard Ling Su Ren."

When the servant heard Yan Shou's words, he replied respectfully.

"Mongar!

！ ”

When Mi Hong heard the servant's words, he was full of surprise, but he didn't expect that Yan Guo's assassination of Yingzheng would actually involve Montessori Mengjia.

As for the guard Ling Su Ren, Mi Hong is not very familiar, but since it is surnamed Su, it is very likely to be related to the Su clan who followed the Qin general Meng Wu, a long time ago in the Chu State, Mi Hong had some impressions of that Su clan, and then the deepest impression was when he heard that Su Han, the general who followed Meng Wu to fight in the south and north at the age of nineteen, was beheaded by Bai Yan's order.

"I'm afraid Montessori is in trouble this time!"

Xiang Liang said quietly, turned his head, and looked at Xiao Gu.

When Xiao Gu heard Xiang Liang's words, he was originally worried about his nephew's comfort, so he didn't have much to pay attention to Montessori, but when he saw Xiang Liang's eyes, he and Xiang Liang had been drinking together for two years, and Xiao Gu didn't know the meaning in Xiang Liang's eyes.

Xiang Liang is planning to look at the situation and go to Montessori!

！

Come to think of it.

Xiao Shi nodded at Xiang Liang quietly.

..............

Early in the morning.

Bai Yan slowly opened his eyes, turned his head sideways with a weak face, and looked at Xu Shi, who was kneeling beside the bed, sleeping like this, and the corners of Bai Yan's mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile.

I want to try to get up.

However, feeling that his body was unprecedentedly weak, Bai Yan was very difficult.

After finally sitting up and looking at Master Xu, Bai Yan didn't disturb Master Xu's rest, looking at the appearance of the morning mist rising outside the window, Bai Yan could guess that it should have been Master Xu guarding him all night last night.

After getting out of bed, trembling and weak, he covered Xu Shi with a piece of clothing, Bai Yan turned around and walked out of the room.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, it should be in Bai Yu's mansion.

Bai Yan frowned slightly, stretched his slightly numb arm, felt the pain in his heart, and was glad to have picked up a life in his heart.

Thinking back to the previous situation in the Xianyang Palace, Bai Yan was also scared into a cold sweat, no wonder Jing Ke would be treated as a guest by Yan Dan, and he was treated favorably by the status of the secretary and the beauty of money, that Jing Ke's martial arts were indeed far beyond ordinary people.

Especially Jing Ke's mind that is not afraid of death, and the madness before death.

Fortunately, at that time, Yingzheng had Wang Jian.

"The general is awake!

！ ”

In the corridor not far away, a maid saw Bai Yan dressed in white, standing under the eaves to stretch her muscles, with a happy face, and then turned around and ran towards the place where Bai Yu lived.

Seeing this, Bai Yan ignored it, but at this time, there was movement in the room behind him, and a puzzled voice faintly sounded.

In a few breaths, a hurried figure ran out of the room.

"General!

”

Xu Shi's tired cheeks were full of anxiety, until he saw Bai Yan was not so flustered, watching Bai Yan wake up, Xu Shi's eyes were red, his expression was full of joy, and he stood a little helpless in place.

Bai Yan looked at Master Xu's crying appearance with joy and smiled.

"You worked hard last night, and after breakfast, you go to rest first!"

Bai Yan opened his mouth and said.

When Xu Shi heard Bai Yan's words, he stood obediently in front of the door and nodded.

It didn't take long.

After getting the news that Bai Yan woke up, Bai Yu and Lu Shi hurriedly walked over from not far away.

Bai Yan was a little surprised to see that Bai Yu didn't go to the court.

"Uncle! Aunt! ”

Bai Yan turned around and saluted Bai Yu and Lu Shi.

"How's your body?"

Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan and asked with concern.

The Lu family on the side also looked at Bai Yan.

"With Uncle Lao's concern, except for a little pain, there are no other symptoms!"

Bai Yan arched his hand and said, feeling Bai Yu's concern, Bai Yan also said it truthfully.

This incident made Bai Yan extremely glad that he could meet Master Xu, otherwise he would have lost his life in these two poisonings, either in Handan or in Xianyang.

"That's good, you've been unconscious for the past three days, but fortunately, Miss Xu is guarding day and night, and your kid finally survived!"

】

When Bai Yu heard Bai Yan's words, he breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay if there is nothing to do.

Thinking back to Bai Yan suddenly like a dead man in the past three days, Bai Yu was really worried, after all, Bai Yu knew best about the harm of poison, like him, even if the poison in his body had been removed, his body had long since disappeared.

Fortunately, Bai Yan's appearance at the moment should not have corrupted the veins.

"Three days?"

When Bai Yan heard Bai Yu's words, he was stunned.

What Bai Yu means is that three days have passed since the assassination?

Come to think of it.

Bai Yan turned his head and looked at Xu Shi behind him, that is to say, Xu Shi has been by his bedside for the past three days, guarding day and night?

In front of the house.

Xu Shi felt Bai Yan's eyes, lowered his head, and pinched the corner of his clothes.

"My lord, outside the mansion, Imperial Doctor Xia asks to see you!"

A servant walked up to Bai Yu at this time and reported to Bai Yuyu.

Bai Yan heard the servant's words and looked at Bai Yu.

"I didn't expect Imperial Doctor Xia to come to the house so early!"

Bai Yu said.

When Lu Shi heard this, he suddenly laughed.

"It's not just as simple as coming to check Bai Yan's pulse!"

As Lu Shi spoke, his eyes were full of smiles and looked at Master Xu, who was standing timidly beside Bai Yan, recalling that day when the imperial physician Xia Wu saw Master Xu for the first time, he couldn't take his eyes off, and when he treated Bai Yan's poison later, he was even more amazed by Master Xu's medical skills.

From that day on, Xia Wuhe, who used to serve by Ying Zheng's side and was quite arrogant, was like losing his mind, not only showing humility, but also secretly looking at Xu Shi with admiring eyes from time to time.

As a person who has come over, Lu Shi is extremely sensitive to this aspect, and he will never be mistaken.

"Please come in, Imperial Physician Xia!"

Bai Yu turned his head to the servant and said.

At this time, Bai Yan also noticed Lu's eyes and the meaning of his words, and looked at Xu Shi behind him quietly.

Xu Shi also noticed Bai Yan's eyes, looked at Bai Yan timidly, and then shook his head quietly.

Xu Shi could feel the kindness of the Lu family and General Bai Yu, but for Xu Shi, Fang Xin was already inhabited, as long as the general did not speak, she would not leave, let alone follow others.

A moment later.

Under Bai Yan's instructions, Master Xu left to have breakfast, and then rested early.

In the corridor, Bai Yu also told Bai Yan what happened after Bai Yan fell into a coma that day.

"After you fell unconscious that day, the king was furious, and Yan ordered Jing Ke to divide the corpses of the five horses, and the deputy envoy Qin Wuyang and the palace guard generals, and the guard Ling Su Ren were all beheaded, and all the soldiers guarding the palace were implicated and executed."

Bai Yu asked his wife Lu Shi to take Xu Shi to breakfast, and then stood alone with Bai Yan under the eaves, looked at the courtyard and said.

At this time, recalling the scene in the palace hall that day, when Yan Envoy assassinated Yingzheng, even Bai Yu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Who would have imagined that the envoy of Yan State was actually an assassin, and Yan Guo actually dared to assassinate in the name of suing for peace, this courage is also too big, and more importantly, the middle concubine Mengjia actually dared to accept bribes for personal gain, resulting in inadvertently helping Yan Guo to assassinate.

Fortunately, Bai Yan was by Yingzheng's side at that time!

It is also a coincidence to say, because in Hangu Pass before, Bai Yan faced Qin Wuyang's provocation and seriously injured Qin Wuyang for a while, and then replaced Qin Wuyang in the main hall to make up for his mistakes.

"Fortunately, your kid blocked the assassination and let Yan Guo's conspiracy be exposed!"

Bai Yu sighed, turned his head slightly, and looked at Bai Yan beside him, whose face was still very weak.

It is said that Qin Wuyang confessed after being interrogated that in addition to Ying Zheng, the purpose of this trip was Bai Yan! Originally, Jing Ke, the Yan envoy, was responsible for assassinating Bai Yan, but due to Qin Wuyang's timidity, there was a change, and in the end Jing Ke had to decide to assassinate Ying Zheng in person.

Thinking of the origin of Jing Ke, Bai Yu also felt a slight chill in his heart.

"Was the king hurt that day? Bai Yan vaguely remembered that on that day in the main hall, Bai Yan had pushed the king, and he was drowsy and unconscious. ”

Bai Yan heard Bai Yu's words, looked at Bai Yu and asked.

Bai Yu shook his head when he heard Bai Yan's words.

"Don't worry!"

After Bai Yu finished speaking, he then looked at the young Bai Yan beside him with the most envious eyes in his life.

Thinking back to that day, all the civil and military officials saw with their own eyes that Ying Zheng was unprecedentedly angry, but in the same way, all the civil and military officials in the main hall also saw with their own eyes that Ying Zheng stood beside Bai Yan with concern, and even Wang Jian was thrown aside, looking at Bai Yan who was in a coma with an anxious face.

This is the first time Bai Yu has been an official in the Qin State for so many years and has seen Yingzheng so concerned.

Even Bai Yu was thinking.

If you can let yourself experience it once, even if it's just for a moment, you are willing to kill yourself, and you have no regrets in this life and death.

"At that time, I was not the only one who had this thought! It is estimated that almost all the officials think this way! ”

Bai Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, and couldn't help but think back to the scene of that day, recalling the appearance of the Wenchen generals whose eyes were red with envy.

"If the king learns the news that your boy has woken up, he will probably be very happy!"

Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan, and when he spoke, he didn't tell Bai Yan about the appearance of Yingzheng that day, anyway, Bai Yu knew very well in his heart that if the king learned that Bai Yan woke up, he would probably come to see Bai Yan in person.

With this thought, Bai Yu's heart was really sour with envy at this moment.

Sigh.

Bai Yu showed a hint of loss on his face.

He Bai Yu is a general who was born on the battlefield, if he can get such a royal favor in this life, why is he afraid of death!

！

"What's wrong with my uncle?"

Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Bai Yu say that Yingzheng was fine, but looking at Bai Yu's sighing appearance looking at the sky, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Bai Yu with some doubts.

Bai Yu shook his head and did not open his mouth to answer Bai Yan.

After all, Bai Yu can't say that he Bai Yu thinks more about that day in the court, preventing the assassination of Yan Envoy, and the person who did not hesitate to kill Yingzheng to block the dagger for Yingzheng is him Bai Yu.
