"I heard that Bai Yan has returned to Yanmen Shanwu, I don't know if it's true or fake?"

"I don't know! However, during this time, have you noticed that there have been fewer and fewer traders in the north of the Xiongnu who have gone south recently! ”

"yes, I found out too!"

In Handan City, Lin Anshun and Xunzhou sat in the restaurant, listening to the conversation of the businessmen next to the restaurant, and the two looked at each other.

This restaurant is a famous restaurant in Handan City, the Empress Dowager Zhao was here, and now although the Empress Dowager Zhao and Zhao Wangqian have disappeared after being resettled by the Qin State, the guests of this restaurant are endless.

"It seems that the Huns are really going south!"

Xunzhou looked at Lin Anshun and whispered, then picked up the wine on the table and poured it for Lin Anshun.

Neither of them chose to go to the private room, after all, they came to the restaurant to inquire about the news, not to drink, as for the woman, to put it mildly, in the Qi country, with the identity of the two of them, they want to be beautiful, I don't know how many scholars will give it to them, that is, when they first went to Xianyang, there were countless people who sent beauties to them, but they were all rejected by the two of them.

"Indeed! This time I went to Yanmen, I'm afraid it's not that simple! ”

Lin Anshun nodded, holding the wine lord in one hand, with a contemplative expression.

"According to the time, it is impossible for Bai Yan to be in Yanmen! When we left, Bai Yan hadn't left yet! ”

Lin Anshun looked up at Xunzhou.

"Indeed, even if we go north from Luoyang, it won't be slow for long, not to mention that it is impossible for Bai Yan not to go to Luoyin City, and where is the change in Luoyin, it is even possible that Bai Yan is still in Luoyin City at this time."

Xun Zhou shook his head and said, picked up the wine lord with both hands, and gestured to Lin Anshun.

Lin Anshun also raised his hand, and the two drank all the wine in the wine jue.

At this time.

Xunzhou, who had just finished drinking, was putting the wine on the table, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice, slowly turned his head, looked at the door of the restaurant, and the man who introduced him made Xunzhou stunned.

Lin Anshun also turned his head to look, and when he saw Chen Ze, he turned his head and glanced at Xunzhou with a smile on his face, and couldn't help laughing.

Chen Ze!

I didn't expect to meet him in Handan.

Thinking of this, Lin Anshun and Xunzhou got up one after another and walked towards the gate of the restaurant.

And the other side.

Chen Ze, who was walking with Xiao Er in the restaurant, suddenly felt something, glanced at the first floor, and when he saw Lin Anshun and Xunzhou, Chen Ze also stopped, opened his mouth in astonishment, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes.

"Lord Lin, Ziyi!"

Chen Ze is naturally no stranger to Xunzhou and Lin Anshun, but now Chen Ze said that he didn't expect to meet the two of them here in Handan City.

"Zizhou!"

"Brother Chen!!"

Xunzhou and Lin Anshun looked at Chen Ze's stunned appearance, smiled and bowed their hands, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

"Zizhou has seen Lord Lin and Ziyi!"

Chen Ze raised his hand to return the salute, and Yu Guang saw the wine table behind the two, Chen Ze was no one else, he would not think that with the status of Lin Anshun and Xunzhou, he could only drink on the first floor.

"Uncle is in the private room! If you have something to say, let's go to the private room to talk! Please! ”

Chen retracted his gaze, the guard said, and then asked the restaurant Xiaoer to lead the way, leading Lin Anshun and Xunzhou to see Fuyao.

Seeing this, Lin Anshun and Xunzhou naturally did not refuse.

A moment later.

In a private room on the third floor, Fu Yao, who was holding a beautiful woman in his arms, was stunned when he saw his friend Chen Ze behind him, following Lin Anshun and Xunzhou, and his expression was no different from that of Chen Ze.

After coming back to his senses, Fu Yao hurriedly got up and saluted Lin Anshun and Xunzhou.

After Lin Anshun and Xunzhou returned the salute, Fu Yao hurriedly asked the two to sit down, and instructed the woman next to him to prepare two more high-quality dishes and wine.

"Brother Chen, brother, why are you two here?"

Among the four, Lin Anshun took the lead in asking, for Fu Yao, Lin Anshun also likes it very much, although they are all named Yao, but compared to Hou Yao, the son of Qi Xiang Hou Sheng, Fu Yao is much better in terms of personality and conduct, and Fu Yao and Chen Ze are both famous people in Jixia School Palace.

Behind a wooden table.

Chen Ze and Fu Yao heard Lin Anshun's inquiry, looked at each other, and both smiled and shook their heads.

"It's not Xun Shuo yet, if Zizhou guessed correctly, Ziyi should also go to Yanmen to find Zixiao!"

Chen said, and then looked at Xunzhou.

Xunzhou is the doctor of Qi State, when he was in Linzi of Qi State, he received news and learned that Lord Tian Dingtian took Lin Anshun and Xunzhou to envoy Qin State, and now Xunzhou and Lin Anshun came to Handan, so there is only one possibility.

Xun Shuo!

Only Xun Shuo will let Xunzhou, who is a doctor of Qi State, not hesitate to go north in person.

"You always knew that Zixiao was in Yanmen?"

When Xunzhou heard Chen Ze's words, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Chen Ze and Fuyao with puzzlement.

Xun Zhou had a vague premonition that the two of them had always known about the matter of his brother Xun Shuo by Bai Yan's side, but he didn't understand why he hadn't seen the two of them tell him before.

"At that time, the Zhao State was not destroyed, Li Mu was not dead, Zixiao was worried about the clansmen, so he instructed the two of us not to tell the clansmen the news when they returned to Qi!"

Fu Yao looked at Xun Zhou, laughed a little embarrassedly, and hurriedly raised his hand to confess.

At this moment, Fu Yao and Chen faced Xun Zhou, feeling a little embarrassed, after all, they had been hiding it, and they were a little unreasonable anyway, but as they talked about Xun Shuo, the two of them couldn't help but sigh.

The last time I saw my friend Xun Shuo in Yanmen, Zhao State still existed at that time, and at that time, everyone in the world was watching, thinking that with the Qin general Yang Duanhe trapped in Yingchuan, Zhao Guowu Anjun Li Mu would definitely lead Zhao Bian Cavalry again and defeat the Qin army!

At that time, the two of them watched their friend Xun Shuo defect to Bai Yan, and they all said it, and then in the face of their friend's invitation, the two of them did not hesitate to refuse.

Right now, it's just over a year.

Li Mu and Zhao Guo died first and then died, and with Bai Yan leading the troops to destroy Zhao Yougong, not only was he promoted to the lieutenant of Yanmen County by Ying Zheng, but he also directly handed over the tens of thousands of border horsemen under Li Mu's command to Bai Yan's commander.

Originally, the Bai Iron Cavalry under the command of the Qin general Bai Yan was already famous, and the high slave fought to the death to shock the world, and now it has tens of thousands of elite side riders in the Zhao Kingdom!

In an instant, the cavalry under Bai Yan's command was terrifying to think about.

In addition to the huge forces of the Xiongnu, Yueshi, and Donghu in the north, in the Central Plains, I am afraid that the Chu State, which is known as a million soldiers, can get an elite Chu cavalry that can resist the iron cavalry under Bai Yan head-on.

Not to mention, there is also the matter of Bai Yan obtaining the Luoyin fiefdom later, which has to make the two of them sigh, their friend Xun Shuo really made the right bet!

Bai Yan, a general, even if he adds the identity of the Bai family's children, is not enough for their Chen family and Fu family to take refuge, but now there is a fief, Bai Yan, who holds the power of soldiers and horses, and also stretches out his hand to win the government's favor, not to mention the two of them, even the elders of the two of them in the Qi country, have begun to prepare to contact the Bai family.

Yan Dan assassinated Ying Zheng, but let Bai Yan sacrifice his life to block the knife for Ying Zheng by coincidence, everyone knows that even if Bai Yan is a disciple of the Bai family, as long as Bai Yan does not betray the Qin State in the future, no matter what mistakes Bai Yan makes, Ying Zheng will not do anything to Bai Yan.

What's more important is that at other times, Bai Yan, who is a favorite minister, will be able to enter Yingzheng's heart more than ordinary people.

This is also the reason why they value Chen and Fu the most.

Inside the private room.

Xunzhou looked at Chen Ze and Fu Yao, and did not blame the two for concealing it.

"Can the two of you know why Zixiao wants to help Bai Yan by Bai Yan's side?"

Xun Zhou asked puzzled, this is also the most curious and puzzled place he has always been.

Chen Ze faced Xunzhou's inquiry, glanced at Fu Yao, and then told Xunzhou the reason why Xun Shuo wanted to talk to Bai Yan at the beginning.

It turned out that after Xun Shuo left the family, because he had traveled to Chu and Wei, he first went north, visited many heroes of the scholar clan in Yan State, and then went to the Xiongnu, and when he returned to Zhao State, he almost died in Zhao Land once, but fortunately an old woman rescued him.

At that time, Xun Shuo wanted to repay his kindness, and knew that relying on the sword could not help the people of Zhao against Qin, so Xun Shuo gave up his dream, discarded his sword and became an official in Zhao, hoping to help Zhao defeat Qin.

However, with the official in Zhao State, coinciding with the great drought in Zhao State, Xun Shuo witnessed with his own eyes that the people were hungry and the bones were low in the mountains, and in the court of Zhao State, the king was mediocre and wantonly collected taxes, and the people's taxes were not reduced at all.

It was also at that time that Xun Shuo couldn't bear it, for the sake of the people of Zhao, he wrote a book about King Zhao, but he was hated by Zhao Cong, a relative of the Zhao family, and spoke to King Zhao behind his back, slandering and framing Xun Shuo, although King Zhao did not dare to kill Xun Shuo, but also dismissed Xun Shuo's official, Xun Shuo, who was desperate at that time, originally thought that he could only watch the people of Zhao die, and happened to hear about Bai Yan's deeds in Gaonu, and then met Qin sent troops to attack Zhao, and the deputy general of Qin's army was Bai Yan.

"I see!"

After Xunzhou listened to Chen Ze's words, Zhu Jian came back to his senses, although he didn't know the details of the old woman's rescue of his brother Xun Shuo, but it was obviously far from being as simple as it seemed.

For Xun Shuo to be willing to let go of his dreams and want to help the people of Zhao State, Xun Shuo must have experienced a lot of unknown things.

As for Chen Ze's mention of what Bai Yan did in Qinshang County and in Gaonu City, Xunzhou naturally heard of it, and admired it in his heart.

Xunzhou knew that if he stood in Bai Yan's position at that time, he would not take as much risk as Bai Yan, even if the Yue clan and the Xiongnu really went south, he would not abandon the Gaonu people at most and order to defend Gaonu City.

A risky behavior like Bai Yan was actually unwise for anyone, even in the eyes of all the officials and scholars of all countries.

To take risks for the sake of a possibility, for the sake of those people, is almost not worth it in the eyes of everyone.

People are selfish, not to mention, even in Bai Yan's eyes at that time, it was a speculation and a possibility.

However, it was also because Bai Yan was so risky and unworthy in the eyes of everyone that the people of Gaonu City were able to escape, and even the clan brothers made up their minds to help Bai Yan.

"Then you were in Yanmen before, have you ever seen Wei Lao?"

Lin Anshun saw that Xunzhou finished asking, so he couldn't help but ask softly.

Now that it has been determined that Xun Shuo is good in Yanmen, then it is completely certain that Wei Lao is indeed in Yanmen now.

"Old Wei?"

Chen Ze and Fu Yao looked at Lin Anshun with an anxious face, and they didn't react at first.

Wei Lao? That Wei Lao?

After reacting, whether it was Chen Ze or Fu Yao, their eyes widened in an instant, and they looked at Lin Anshun with astonishment.

"Ahh Wei Lao!! ”

"Old Wei is also in Yanmen?"

At this time, it was Chen Ze's turn and Lin Anshun to be confused, and the two of them never knew about Wei Lao's affairs in Yanmen.

The two who were born in the Chen family and the husband family are no strangers to Wei Lao, and they both have deep memories of this old gentleman who single-handedly brought Lin An to their family, and when they went to their family, their grandfathers, elders and others would be regarded as important guests.

In front of the wooden table.

Lin Anshun, who was full of anticipation, saw Chen Ze and Fu Yao's surprised and surprised looks, and sighed, he couldn't see where the two of them didn't know about Wei Lao's affairs in Yanmen.

Thinking of this, Lin Anshun was full of loss.

At this time.

As the door of the private room opened, a young maid came in with a plate of good wine and meat, and Lin Anshun did not talk about Wei Lao's affairs again.

And Chen Ze and Fu Yao learned that Wei Lao was also good in Yanmen, and they had no intention of drinking and having fun.

"It just so happened that the two of us didn't receive news from Xun Shuo, so we went to Yanmen together!"

Fu Yao's face also became serious.

He and Chen Ze never knew that Wei Lao was in Yanmen, so a long time ago, after learning that the Xiongnu might take advantage of Qin's invasion of Yan and go south, the two of them came to Handan from Qi non-stop, and ordered someone to go to Yanmen with a letter and let Xun Shuo come to Handan.

Both of them were afraid, according to Xun Shuo's character, seeing the Xiongnu going south to plague the people of Zhao, and Bai Yan was not in Yanmen, he was afraid that he would draw his sword and go to the battlefield in person, and fight with the Xiongnu endlessly.

Don't look at Xun Shuo, who has not been on the battlefield much, and is still a noble-born Xun family, but the arrogance in Xun Shuo's bones, they are clear, not to mention that the Huns went south, knowing that it was death, Xun Shuo dared to die.

Life.

Xun Shuo really didn't hesitate, that innate stubbornness can be understood from going against Xun Zi's wishes.

"Good!"

Xunzhou heard Fu Yao's words and nodded, although Yanmen is very dangerous now, but since he has come to Handan, Yanmen, he naturally wants to go there.

As Xunzhou's words fell, Chen Ze and Lin Anshun nodded one after another, and then got up.

Before leaving, Fu Yao took out three strings of money from the exaggerated silk sleeve pocket and put them on the table.

The young women who had just brought wine into the private room looked at this scene with a stunned expression.

Do you still drink this wine?

There is no city of goodness.

In the study of the mansion, Wei Lao looked at Zhao Qiu with a curious expression.

"What did the old man's disciple promise you, he could actually make you willing to help!"

Wei Lao sighed in surprise.

In Wei Lao's eyes, the possibility that Zhao Qiu was willing to help was almost as likely as asking Guo Zong directly and asking Guo Zong to answer.

"When he comes back alive, Boss Wei can ask him!"

After Zhao Qiu handed the letter to Wei Lao, he glanced at Wei Lao, and then turned around and left the study.

Come back alive!!!

Wei Lao listened to Zhao Qiu's complaining words, laughed, watched Zhao Qiu leave, and looked down at the bamboo slip in his hand with amazement, he really didn't expect that Bai Yan could really let Zhao Qiu help.

After opening the bamboo slip, Wei Lao saw that there were not only Guo Zong's words inside, but also the answer of the son of the land, Jia, full of joy.

It seems that Gongzi Jia has always been clear about Zhao Qiu's good things in Yanmen.

"Someone!"

After reading the news inside the bamboo slip, Wei Lao raised his head and shouted towards the door.

As a man in cloth walked into the study, Wei Lao had already put away the bamboo slips.

"Give it to the iron horse, and order the iron horse to whip up the horse and send it to Yanmen Mountain!"

Wei Lao handed the bamboo slip to the attendant.

The matter of bamboo slips is very important, although Wei Lao has full trust in his subordinates, but it is inevitable that there will be dangers on the road, fortunately, Bai Yan has always left an iron horse in Shanwu before.

"No!"

The man took the bamboo slip, saluted, and turned to leave.

Wei Lao stood in the study, looking out the window.

The Xiongnu will go south soon, once Bai Yan fights with the Xiongnu, I'm afraid it must be a tough battle!

At this time, where is the Yueshi, no matter what, they can't go south again.

"Xun Shuo, the safety of Yanmen, the lives of the old man and that kid, it all depends on you!"

Wei Lao said softly.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps at the door of the study, and then a maid approached the study.

"My lord, there are four people outside the door who ask to see them, and the person who leads them claims to be the grandson of the adult!"

The maid came to Wei Lao's side and said to Wei Lao.

Wei Lao turned his head and glanced at the maid, but he was not surprised, but on the old cheeks, a trace of longing appeared in his eyes.

It's finally here!!

"Bring the study!"

Elder Wei commanded softly.

The maid nodded, then took two steps back, and turned to walk out of the study.

Bai Yan and Zhao Qiu's transaction will be explained clearly later.

Thank you for your big commuter passes, recommended tickets!! Thank you!

The process of Qin's destruction of the Six Kingdoms was done year by year, and after returning to Qi and destroying the Five Kingdoms in advance, there were countless capable people around him and then to Qi State, which was a different ending in the eyes of the knife.

With a knife, he always wanted to see that it was Bai Yan who helped Qin to destroy Chu and then return to Qi, instead of returning to his hometown halfway.

If one day Bai Yan really returned to Qi Country ahead of schedule, it must be that he had brought a knife and didn't stick to it.

With a knife has no experience in writing a long article, step by step according to the outline to the present, in addition to the apprehension, more is the encouragement given by the big people to the knife, every subscription, every monthly pass, recommendation ticket, every reward, a thousand words can not be said with a knife to remember in the heart of gratitude.

Thank you!

Thank you so much! Thank you!

Recently, many people have recovered their yang, remember to prepare some medicine, and drink more boiled water!
