On the banks of the Luoyin River.

When Bai Yan's carriage drove to the bank of the Luoyin River, the merchants who traveled back and forth along the way almost made him, the lord of Luoyin, unable to cross the river, there were too many people! There were so many that Bai Yan stood in front of the river, looking at the dense boats, he was a little surprised, and finally he and Bai Yan dressed up in disguise to find the people in the village, and only then did they find the boat for Bai Yan.

However, Bai Yan did not cross the river in a hurry, but drank tea under the thatched hut along the road on the riverside.

"Did you hear that? Recently, the merchants in Naxu City have been losing money, and they almost started to grab business! ”

"Is there such a thing? Tell me about it! ”

"Let me tell you, haven't I heard that there have been a lot fewer traders in the Xiongnu recently, whether it is Yanmen or Daidi, and I don't know what the reason is......"

Bai Yan listened to the conversation of the businessmen at the table next door, and turned his head to look at the two of them with curiosity.

Qi was puzzled, not understanding why Bai Yan was suddenly so interested in those things.

Just as Jue was about to speak, Bai Yan looked at Jue one step earlier and shook his head.

After signaling Qi to say goodbye, Bai Yan slowly got up, took the tea in front of him, and came to the few men who were talking just now.

"A few brothers, I am from Luoyang, after visiting my clan relatives in Xianyang a few days ago, I was about to go to Yanmen to do business, and I happened to hear the words of a few people, I don't know what happened?"

Bai Yan was cheeky, and with a smile on his face, he bowed to the three middle-aged businessmen on the wooden table, and while talking, he also recruited the old woman who sold tea, took out a piece of money from his arms, and handed it to the old woman.

This move was obvious, the old woman looked at the table and nodded at Bai Yan again and again.

Not much money.

But Bai Yan's dress is not like a farmer, he is very sleek and polite at a young age, which makes the three businessmen also have a good impression of Bai Yan, and they wander outside, for businessmen, it is always a good thing to make more friends.

"If you go to Yanmen, you should put away your thoughts as soon as possible!"

The man who had just spoken said to Bai Yan.

Then he also told Bai Yan the news he heard from other places, and when he talked about it, he also heard it in Luoyin in the past two days, but fortunately, now here in Luoyin, all of them are businessmen, and they are very well-informed, and he also learned it from acquaintances.

After a long time.

When Bai Yan learned that the business of the merchants in Yanmen was bleak and the Xiongnu suddenly rarely went south, he nodded, thanked the three of them gratefully, and then got up and returned to the side of Qi.

"Let's go! Crossing! ”

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he took out a piece of money from his arms and put it on the table.

Seeing this, Jue hurriedly got up and followed Bai Yan to the riverside.

By the riverside.

Accompanied by the yak, Bai Yan came to the riverside to take a boat very smoothly, it was not a big boat, and the boatman was two young teenagers, not much older than Bai Yan.

Although the two teenagers have never seen Bai Yan, they know Bai Yan, who was a butcher before, whether it is his eyes or the momentum that is revealed all over his body, in the village, no matter how naughty the child is, he is too well-behaved in front of him, and the two of them are naturally no exception.

Now.

Looking at the thing wrapped in the cloth on his back, looking at the man and the other four people with Qin Jian, following behind the young man, the two teenagers in the pardon village all showed longing and fanaticism.

"Huh, so many?"

Standing behind Bai Yan, he looked at the large and small boats coming and going along the river, and as he approached the opposite bank, he was simply stunned when he saw the dense crowd of pedestrians and businessmen on the opposite bank.

He couldn't help but nodded, he was not from Luoyin, and he grew up near Luoyin since he was a child, and he had never seen it since he was a child, and there were so many people in Luoyin.

Inside Luoyin City.

If the riverside makes Jue and Mu stunned, then as they approach the city and enter the city, the scene that introduces their eyes makes Jue and Lu wonder if they are in the wrong place, and now the traffic and the road are full of crowded pedestrians, where is Luoyin, it is obviously the occasional scene in those big cities in Luoyang.

Except for the Yak and the Qiang, the other three cloth-clothed soldiers were no better.

After Bai Yan returned to the mansion, Lu Sheng and Lu Qi, who learned the news, hurriedly came to Bai Yan's mansion.

"Yan!"

When Lu Sheng and Lu Qi saw Bai Yan in the study, they looked at Bai Yan's eyes, it was called red heat, if it weren't for Bai Yan being a man, it was estimated that the two of them would be eager to hug Bai Yan and kiss each other directly.

"Sit!"

When Bai Yan saw Lu Sheng and Lu Qi, with a smile, he asked the two to sit down.

At this time, the maid also poured tea for the two Lu brothers.

"Yan, during this period of time, the business of the restaurant alone has been making money day by day, and I finally understand why I would say that the money of the people in the world is not as much as the money of the merchants, it comes quickly, and those merchants in the restaurant are really willing to do it!"

After Lu Qi knelt down and sat down, he said to Bai Yan.

Lu Sheng also knelt on the side, nodded at Bai Yan, his expression was full of emotion, and then laughed.

"Usually, the businessmen see that it is difficult to make a few dollars, and asking for more money is the same as life, but now it is ......"

Lu Sheng said here, looking at Bai Yan.

"Nowadays in the restaurant, they are all businessmen, almost every day can meet acquaintances, whether they cling to seek profit, or old friends meet, I don't know how many businessmen have endless wine, until the next few days, the key is that basically every day, you can see acquaintances! In short, it's not a treat, it's an invitation! ”

Lu Sheng said this, the amazement in his eyes was overflowing, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Sheng wouldn't have dared to imagine that this money would come so quickly, it was even more profitable than the shops in Luoyang and Taoyi combined.

This sentence is really not a joke at all, now Luoyin City is full of businessmen, at first Lu Sheng was worried that due to the lack of boats on the riverside, there would be complaints, that thought, there is no need to worry at all, Luoyin City is not a big city, as long as you come to Luoyin, many acquaintances look down and don't look up, whether it is for people or for fame and the way in the future, drinking and eating meat always can't run away, the key is that this is not a stop at one meal, and because there are more and more businessmen, many news that they didn't necessarily know in the past, You can all find out here in Luoyin.

This invisibly not only attracted more and more merchants who did not cross the river to come, but also the surrounding big cities and many, many other places of the scholars, all of whom planned to move some of their clansmen to Luoyin.

Nowadays, there are already many old scholars who have gradually seen the value of Luoyin City, or rather, they have vaguely guessed Bai Yan's layout all along.

"The situation here in Luoyin is very good, in the future, you only need to beware of the Shi clan, remember, the restaurant is the eyes and ears of you, but it is also a means for some people to deal with you, the more important the matter, the easier it is to be fake!"

Bai Yan looked at the elated Lu brothers, thought about it, and still admonished.

This is the truth that Jin Bus gave to Bai Yan, Jin Gong has always asked him to keep this in mind, he has never forgotten it, Jin Gong always said that before a big event is about to happen, the bigger the movement, the more likely it is to be fake, and the opponent is afraid that you can't hear the news you can't see.

"Ahh Leaving tomorrow? ”

When Lu Qi and Lu Sheng heard Bai Yan's words, they looked at each other with a stunned expression, and then the smile on their faces and the joy in their hearts slowly faded.

I had been busy before, and then Bai Yan escorted the envoys of Qi to Xianyang, and now Bai Yan finally returned to Luoyin, how could he stay for one night and leave! There's a lot to say yet!

"Maybe something big is going to happen in the north, don't dare to delay!"

Bai Yan said.

"Fortunately, I didn't let the carriage and my cronies cross the river from Luoyin before, I plan to return to Yanmen in advance and leave tomorrow by horse."

Bai Yan sighed, before crossing the river today, he overheard about Yanmen, and since then he has had a bad premonition in his heart, and he always feels that the Huns must be plotting, but what it is, you still need to go to Yanmen to know.

"Go back to Yanmen!"

When Lu Qi heard Bai Yan's words, he also vaguely felt something, he had known Bai Yan for two years, and he was convinced of Bai Yan's ability to lead the army and attack on the battlefield.

"Yan, do you need me to accompany you to Yanmen?"

Lu Qi thought about it and looked at Bai Yan, except for worry and nervousness on his chubby face, his eyes were extremely clear.

It can be seen that Lu Qi is really not talking, but really wants to help Bai Yan.

"Yes, I can go if I need to!"

When Lu Sheng heard Lu Qi's words, he quickly came to his senses, and when he was short of breath, he also looked at Bai Yan, Lu Sheng was not joking, although he was afraid, but if Bai Yan needed it, he really dared to go, he just didn't expect it.

"No, you don't! Yanmen will be in turmoil at any time now, money is useless, only rely on Qin Jian to speak, you are not good at battlefield killings! I'll just come! ”

Bai Yan looked at Lu Qi and smiled, then looked at Lu Sheng, and also smiled.

When Lu Sheng heard Bai Yan's words, he also knew that what Bai Yan said was right, Lu Qi still looked at Bai Yan with some concern, he had known each other for two years, when he first attacked Han, Bai Yan did not have such a look, and even when he attacked Zhao, Bai Yan was not so worried.

"Yan!"

On Lu Qi's fat face, the previous smiling appearance had long disappeared, and his cheeks were full of hesitation, but after a few breaths, in Bai Yan's puzzled eyes, he still spoke softly.

"Why don't you stay in Xianyang? There are rumors that it is because of the Bai family, and there are also rumors that you have disappointed King Qin, but I know that it is not true! ”

Lu Qi still asked.

Looking at the young Bai Yan in front of him, Lu Qi had seen Bai Yan wearing an official uniform and a knight on his head, so Lu Qi didn't understand why Bai Yan didn't stay in Xianyang, but took the risk to go to Yanmen.

Previously, Bai Yan was taken by King Qin's side and was doing the things of the middle servant!

Bai's identity? Bai Yan is not a Qin person at all, let alone a member of the Bai clan, Bai Yan has always been a Qi person, a Qi country.

And disappointment is even more impossible, he Lu Qi, understand Bai Yan!

"Yes! In fact, it's good to stay in Xianyang, you don't need to rush to the battlefield anymore, you don't have to risk your life anymore, you just need to do things by the side of King Qin, enjoy wealth in Xianyang, and the rights of Qin are not outside, but in Xianyang! ”

Lu Sheng saw Lu Qi speak, as the eldest brother, Lu Sheng looked at the thin young man in front of him, and he didn't understand, he didn't believe that the young man really disappointed Yingzheng because of his ability.

Now the scenes in the city are all solid, and the young man who brought all these changes, it is impossible for Yingzheng not to see or detect it.

There's only one possibility!

The boy himself wants to go back to Yanmen!!

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng didn't understand it even more, and didn't understand it at all, why he was about to become a regular servant, and he was about to go to the position that countless talents in the world and thousands of officials of the Qin State dreamed of, staying in Xianyang, living a safe and worry-free life, enjoying glory and wealth, enjoying power, and enjoying countless money and beauties, isn't that good???

In this life, isn't it just to seek fame and fortune, to enjoy glory and wealth, and beauties are on the side?

Why did the young man go back to Yanmen, to return to the battlefield where his life was in danger at any time.

A middle and regular servant, who accompanies Yingzheng every day, and a life of nine deaths, not only has no wealth, but also has to be exposed to the sun and rain, this is almost a person, and they all know which one to choose.

"Stay in Xianyang, glory and wealth ......"

In the study, Bai Yan looked at Lu Qi's worried gaze, looked at Lu Sheng's puzzled appearance, listened to Lu Sheng's words, thought of that picture, and smiled with emotion and melancholy.

"Bai Yan stays in Xianyang, but what about Bai Yan's robes? In the past, Bai Yan once said that he wanted to live and die with them! ”

Bai Yan looked at Lu Qi and Lu Sheng with a smile.

There is a saying called brothers, there is a saying called living and dying together, and there is a saying that knowing that it is death and having nothing to care about.

As the words of the Gaonu Valley in the past! Like the oath of the Gaonu Valley in the past! Like in the Gaonu Valley in the past, thousands of people, thousands of living lives, and thousands of soldiers followed him with swords and Tige, killing the Huns without hesitation.

Lu Qi's worries Bai Yan understood, Lu Sheng's words Bai Yan was clear, but there were some things, in Bai Yan's eyes, as long as he lived, he must do it, just as he wanted his grandmother's words to come true, so he did not hesitate to go to Qin and enlist in the army.

At that time, he also thought that he would be killed by others on the battlefield.

The world is glorious and rich! Who doesn't like it, but if he abandons the people in Yanmen who are willing to follow him one by one, thousands of soldiers and generals, then Bai Yan would rather not have any glory and wealth, his grandmother knows that he does that, but she will not let him into the house.

Thinking of this, Bai Yan laughed and looked at Lu Qi and Lu Sheng who were staring at him in a daze.

"The right is good, but no matter how high the right is, for Bai Yan, if the worst happens in Yanmen, where the soldiers in Yanmen have a mistake, even if there are tens of thousands of Huns in Yanmen, even if Bai Yan has only one person, then he must carry his sword and go to Yanmen to avenge the soldiers!"

Bai Yan explained, and then he didn't talk about this topic, and his worries about Yanmen today were not because of the danger that might occur in Yanmen, but because he was worried about the soldiers in Yanmen, and he himself was not afraid.

In front of the wooden table.

Bai Yan picked up the teacup on the wooden table, replaced the wine with tea, and motioned to Lu Qi and Lu Sheng.

This cup of tea is grateful to Lu Qi for his worries, and thanks to Lu Sheng for his reminder, but his Bai Yan's mind has been decided.

Outside the study.

The two cloth-clothed soldiers, who were wary of the approach of others, wiped their eyes with their hands, lowered their heads, and their reddened eyes gradually turned red.

He was also a little short of breath on the side, for the appearance of the two young soldiers beside him, he did not have a trace of smile in his heart, but was full of longing, he knew that these two soldiers must have been killed with the benefactor general, and they were born and died together with the general.

Like this, a general who can give up glory and wealth, ask how many people in this world can there be since ancient times.

It's worth it to be able to talk to a general like a benefactor!

His eyes are also a little red, who has no flesh in his heart, but because of people, it is naturally difficult to like a treacherous villain, a hypocrite, and a cunning force, but for a general like a benefactor, perhaps he has already understood, why some time ago, without exception, the soldiers all said that they followed the general and died without regrets!

Value!!!

He muttered in his heart, and then felt that his eyes were slightly sour, and at this moment he made an oath in his heart, whether he went to Yanmen or where he went in the future, whoever dared to hurt the general, if he killed one, he should kill a beast.

As the sun sets.

On the second day, under the escort of Lu Qi and Lu Sheng, Bai Yan did not alarm anyone, and quietly took Qi and Lu and a few people, and rode towards Yanmen.

Lu Qi and Lu Sheng stood at the city gate, looking at the distant figures among the merchants coming and going, and then looked at the bamboo slips in the book.

"Brother, now that there is a sudden change in the Chu State, here in Luoyin, I will hand it over to my brother with full authority to salute, and Lu Qi is now going to the Chu State!"

Lu Qi sighed, looked at the direction in which Bai Yan disappeared, turned to his brother Lu Sheng, and bluntly gave all the shops that had settled down in Luoyin to Lu Sheng, and he himself was preparing to go to Chu State.

"Chu State? Now that Chu has died of illness, where will the country of Chu be very chaotic in the future! ”

Lu Sheng looked at Lu Qi with a puzzled expression, looking at this chubby younger brother, full of incomprehension, if it was only two years ago, he would definitely laugh, waiting to see this brother's joke, and even wished that Lu Qi would die in the Chu State.

But in the past two years, Lu Qi has changed a lot, he Lu Sheng is not the same, for the past prejudices, as a brother, he has long forgotten.

Therefore, now hearing that Lu Qi is going to give up all the shops here in Luoyin and Bai Yan's fiefdom, where to go to Chu State, Lu Sheng is confused, Chu State will be very chaotic in the future, where is it better to stay in Luoyin, even if you want to do business, you have to wait until the Chu State is stable.

"Lu Qi is clear, but Lu Qi has a hunch that Yan will definitely need to know the news of Chu State in the future, and he also needs someone to help him take care of him in Chu State!"

After Lu Qili finished, he looked at the direction in which Bai Yan disappeared, turned his head to look at his brother Lu Sheng, and laughed.

Yesterday's incident, Lu Qi finally understood, why the Bai Iron Horse, in the hands of Bai Yan, was brave and fearless, and dared to fight to the death in every battle, why when he went to Yanmen, he saw that so many people were willing to follow Bai Yan's side, even Xunzi's descendants were no exception.

Requite!

Everyone can see the rewards on Bai Yan again.

Looking at the bamboo slips handed over to him by Bai Yan in his hand, Bai Yan didn't ask for any of the benefits obtained by the Lu family, except for taxes, and he also mentioned them to the King of Qin.

This is Bai Yan's reward for their Lu family.

"Lu Qi is going to the Chu State!"

Lu Qi handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Lu Sheng, looking chubby, but his eyes were extremely determined.

"For my brother, I also want to go to the Chu State! This Luoyin, let my father send someone to take care of it! You and I brothers will go to Chu together! ”

When Lu Sheng heard Lu Qi's words, he looked at the bamboo slip, unexpectedly did not accept it, and after hesitating for a moment, he sighed and glanced at the city gate behind him, making a decision that surprised even himself.

For some reason, after Lu Sheng said this, his mood before and after was completely different.

At this moment, Lu Sheng, who finished speaking, laughed, and looked at Lu Qi, who looked surprised and stunned.

"In the future, no matter how Bai Yan is in Yanmen, no matter how his brother is in Chu State, even if he dies for his brother, he will not regret it!"

As Lu Sheng spoke, he glanced in the direction of Yanmen.

Yesterday's young man's words, Lu Sheng remembered vividly, he had a confidant in life, and he died without regrets, Lu Sheng also wanted to have a friend like Bai Yan, like his brother Lu Qi, like Bai Yan, as a friend of Paoze.

"Good!"

Lu Qi looked at the appearance he had never seen before on his brother Lu Sheng's face, and after sensing it, he also showed a smile.
