Chapter 423: The old man is really old!
"Bai Yan has been transferred back to Yanmen? Isn't that an empty talk! ”
"Be quiet!"
"Hahaha, what are you afraid of, if Bai Yan is a regular servant, I may still be afraid, but now I have decided to leave Xianyang, what am I afraid of!"
Outside the Xianyang Palace, officials wearing Qin State official uniforms accompanied each other, and many people discussed it one after another, and the reason for this was nothing more than Bai Yan being transferred back to Yanmen.
Being able to be an official in the Qin State, almost without exception, they are all from the scholar family, so for the Bai family, although they are afraid, they are not to the extent of fear, naturally, when they talk about it now, they are a little unscrupulous, as if they are laughing at Bai Yan.
Everyone has this habit, and these Qin officials are no exception, when they first learned that Bai Yan was about to serve as a regular attendant, when they saw Bai Yan, they either greeted him with a smile or flattered him, and now when they saw that Bai Yan was about to be transferred out of Xianyang, they immediately changed their faces, but they didn't want to think about it, even if Bai Yan was not in Xianyang, he was still a general, the lieutenant of Yanmen County, and he was in charge of the army of Qin.
Outside the palace gates.
"On the nature of the heart, you should really learn from Bai Yan!"
Next to the carriage, Hu Lao saw that Bai Yu heard the gossip of other officials, his face was indignant, and he couldn't help but smile and said.
"Hu Lao's words are inappropriate, learn from that kid? If I had learned from that kid, my father and brother would have been angry to death!
”
Bai Yu heard Hu Lao's words and said with a dissatisfied face.
In Bai Yu's eyes, if he Bai Yu is really like Bai Yan, it is estimated that the first person to die of anger is the old father in Pingyang, and the old father is estimated to be so angry that he has to come to Xianyang even at night, chasing him with thorns and beating him, and he is even said to be other brothers.
Learn from that kid!
!
"Hahahaha!"
When Hu Lao heard Bai Yu's words, he couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought of that picture, but then his old face slowly put away his smile and shook his head slightly.
"There are many snobbs in the world, who can guarantee that they can stay in a high position for a long time, and some of the positions that can go up are indeed very powerful, but what is more admirable is that after going up, they can also walk down calmly. That's the rarest thing! ”
Hu Lao said softly, and when he said the last sentence, his eyes looked at Bai Yu.
How many rare talents in the world are finally shattered because of the latter sentence, not to mention that Bai Yu in front of him can't do it, even many ministers who have left their names through the ages can't do it.
The young man had already visited Hu Mansion yesterday to explain the reason, and Hu Lao could feel that the young man's eyes were not on the immediate benefits, but on a farther place.
And these things, the young man did not say to Bai Yu, and now Hu Lao naturally will not either.
Perhaps looking at Bai Yu who had everything written on his face in front of him, Hu Lao finally realized why many things could not be told to Bai Yu directly.
"Calculate the time, Bai Yan should also pack up and salute, and the old man will also go to see Bai Yan off!"
Hu Lao said to Bai Yu.
Seeing this, Bai Yu hurriedly nodded.
But just as the two were about to leave, looking at Mao Jiao with a trance, they couldn't help but wonder why Mao Jiao was always absent-minded these days, often distracted, and his eyes were sometimes hesitant and sometimes guilty.
Just like right now, Mao Jiao didn't hear the conversation between the two of them, he lowered his head slightly, and the face on his old face was full of struggle.
Bai Yu and Hu Lao glanced at each other, full of doubts.
.........
Inside Bai Yu's mansion.
As the servants and maids carried the required items to the carriage outside the mansion, a dozen or so iron cavalry soldiers wearing Qin armor in the courtyard were laughing and chatting with each other.
If I heard that Bai Yan was going to serve as a regular attendant before, who was the saddest was not necessarily the warrior forces who had offended Bai Yan in the past, but these iron cavalry soldiers.
No matter what they have experienced, but without exception, they all follow Bai Yan to the battlefield and experience a battle of nine deaths, for them, Bai Yan has long been a general in their hearts and followed all their lives.
Zhongchang also means that Bai Yan will stay in Xianyang in the future and no longer lead them.
This is almost every iron cavalry soldier, there will be a strong sense of loss in their hearts, and with it, there is also confusion about the future, and the usual mentality of going to the battlefield to defeat the enemy, all shaken, after all, even they don't know who they will follow in the future, who can be like Bai Yan, take them to kill any enemy bravery, and treat them too well.
Right now, knowing that Bai Yan did not serve as a regular attendant, every soldier's face showed a happy smile.
Although their ideas are a little selfish, they all originate from Bai Yan alone.
As far as they are concerned, with the presence of a general, they dare to face any enemy, even if the enemy army is twice as numerous as them, or even ten times as many as them, just like a high-slave battle, they are still fearless.
In this world, they only need the general!
One person is enough!
"General!"
"General!
”
As they saw the figures of Bai Yu, Hu Lao, and Mao Jiao coming, most of the soldiers were not familiar with Hu Lao and Mao Jiao, but for Bai Yu, these iron cavalry soldiers naturally knew it, so they paid tribute one after another.
"Hmm!"
Bai Yu nodded at the soldiers, and then took Hu Lao and Mao Lao towards the study.
"He's the general of our Iron Cavalry in the past?"
He was already wearing Qin armor and wearing Qin Jian, looking at Bai Yu's departing back, and asked Lu beside him in a low voice.
When he heard his words, he nodded, looked at the burly and sturdy man beside him, and felt a little hairy in his heart, don't look at the honest appearance of the butcher, but the ruthlessness of being a butcher all the year round, once he showed his expression, a really look was scary enough, during this time in the camp to compete, even other burly generals, after the competition, they never wanted to fight again.
Vicious!
This is everyone's impression of the sword, and the person who dislikes the light weight of the Qin sword is the only one among all the people who dislikes the light weight of the Qin sword, and the person who holds the blunt weapon goes down with a whip, it is estimated that everyone will vomit blood and die.
Jue is very curious, if he goes to the battlefield in the future, I don't know how many enemy soldiers will die in the hands of Yak.
"Hehe, that's better for our general!"
He laughed, a smile on his burly face, and the traces of being caught and whipped at the beginning could still be seen on his rough cheeks.
Looking at the other iron cavalry soldiers around him, although he didn't have any great wisdom and wisdom, he felt the huge difference between the soldiers and the former General Bai Yu when they talked about their benefactors.
Although no one compares it, he can clearly feel that compared to General Bai Yu, when the soldiers mention their benefactors, their eyes are hot, and the kind of love that is unintentionally revealed in their eyes is far from being described in words.
"That's nature!"
After hearing the words, he glanced around, and then whispered.
A moment later.
Seeing Bai Yan, dressed in black, appear in front of everyone, all the soldiers in the courtyard stopped talking and looked at Bai Yan.
"General!"
"General!"
A general, neatly aligned, but more than ten people, but the voice resounded throughout the mansion, even the busy servants and maids not far away were shocked, frightened by this momentum.
All the soldiers looked at Bai Yan with a fanatical expression.
Bai Yan looked at these soldiers with a smile, swept over the faces of these soldiers one by one, and nodded lightly.
Bai Yan didn't know if these soldiers were deliberate, Bai Yu was quite apprehensive, and now he was still making this movement in Bai Yu's courtyard, was he afraid that his uncle Bai Yu wouldn't hear it?
"Old Mao, please!"
Bai Yan turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Mao Jiao, just in the study, Mao Jiao suddenly opened his mouth and wanted to talk to him privately, so he explained to Bai Bo, Bai Yu, Hu Lao and others, and walked out with Mao Jiao.
Now.
Bai Yan led the way and took Mao Jiao to the pavilion in Bai Yu's mansion.
The servants and maids in the mansion were already busy, and the others were not in the pavilion, so they could say anything with confidence right now.
Under the gazebo.
Mao Jiao looked at Bai Yan with a complicated expression, and then turned his head to look not far away.
"When Tian Ding left, the old man didn't go to see him off!"
Mao Jiao said softly.
Bai Yan heard Mao Jiao's words, looked at Mao Jiao's face, and knew why Mao Jiao didn't go.
Thinking of Tian Feiyan, before Tian Ding left, Bai Yan had already asked people to send the letter to the embassy and hand it over to Tian Feiyan.
"Before, Tian Ding came to visit the old man......"
Mao Jiao slowly recounted to Bai Yan what happened that day.
Bai Yan was not surprised when he heard Mao Jiao's words, very early, Bai Yan knew that the reason why Tian Ding was looking for someone in Xianyang City must have been something Mao Jiao and Tian Ding said.
Not only is he Bai Yan clear, but Yingzheng is also clear.
After a long time, with Mao Jiao's story, Bai Yan finally knew the details of Tian Ding's visit to Mao Jiao that day.
"You and I both know that once the Chu State is destroyed in the future, the Qi State will definitely not be able to survive!"
Mao Jiao sighed with emotion, and then looked at Bai Yan.
"You and I are both Qi people, the old man wants to ask you, if there is no personal grudge between Tian Ding and you......"
Mao Jiao said this, paused, but still hesitated for a few breaths, and continued to say the rest of the words.
"Are you willing to be in the country of Qi and pay homage to the generals!"
Mao Jiao looked at Bai Yan with his eyes.
In Mao Jiao's eyes, there has always been a reason to comfort himself for Bai Yan's affairs and for his mother country, Qi Guo, which is also the reason why Mao Jiao was at ease during Tian Ding's visit last time.
However, when the news of the death of the King of Chu came, Mao Jiao, who was worshiped by Ying Zheng as the secretary, faced this change in the Chu State, where it was not clear, at this time the King of Chu died of illness, I am afraid that within three or five years, the Chu State will fall into turmoil, and three or five years later, I am afraid that the Qin State has already come to the city.
Once you die! At that time, in the world, I am afraid that only Qi was left!
So when he learned that Tian Ding had left and Bai Yan was going to return to Yanmen again, Mao Jiao hesitated, and finally chose to see Bai Yan alone, and asked Bai Yan in person once, asking Bai Yan if he was willing to return to Qi State, putting aside his personal grudge with Tian Ding, and whether he was willing to pay homage to the secretary of state in Qi.
For Mao Jiao, this is also one of the things he has done for his mother country.
Yu Yingzheng, he didn't tell Tian Ding about Bai Yan, it was not considered a betrayal of Yingzheng, in his home country, after Tian Ding left, he personally asked Bai Yan privately as a Qi person.
Mao Jiao has been feeling that he is old for the past two days, and now he just wants to spend the rest of his life with peace of mind!
"Mrs. Mao overestimates Bai Yan!"
Bai Yan heard Mao Jiao's words, said softly, and glanced into the distance.
Although it was a simple sigh, for Mao Jiao, it was already an answer, Mao Jiao did not blame Bai Yan, but nodded lightly.
At this time, Mao Jiao heard Bai Yan's voice again.
"Everyone in the world praises the Zhou Dynasty and King Wu of Zhou, but they don't know that for the people in the world, this world has been in turmoil for 800 years!
! ”
Bai Yan said softly.
In a word, distinguish the people of the world from the people, say a sentence of emotion from the bottom of your heart, and say that you don't want to have war and chaos in your heart.
Mao Jiao was stunned, without him, Mao Jiao clearly felt in this sentence why Bai Yan didn't want to return to Qi State.
At this moment, Mao Jiao came back to his senses and smiled bitterly, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head.
"The old man is really old!"
After a few breaths, Mao Jiao finally sighed.
Half an hour later.
Under the instructions of Hu Lao and others, Bai Yan then said goodbye to Bai Yan and Bai Junzhu's father and daughter, turned around and left the mansion, and set off for Yanmen.
"What did you just say to Bai Yan?"
Hu Lao stood next to Mao Jiao, turned his head to look at Mao Jiao, and asked curiously.
Mao Jiao heard his old friend's inquiry, smiled and shook his head, it was naturally impossible for him to tell Hu Lao about Bai Yan's flower exploration.
"Even the old man can't hide it!"
Seeing that Mao Jiao refused to speak, Hu Lao was angry and laughed, but he shook his head and didn't ask any questions.
