Chapter 442: Qu Yi's Death
"General, outside the mansion, there is a servant who asks to see him, saying that he is a servant of the doctor!"
A servant hurriedly walked into the main hall, and then reported to Bai Yanyu.
Hear the words.
Lin Anshun and Xunzhou glanced at each other, with doubts, but still saluted Bai Yanji.
"General Bai, it should be the entourage brought by the two of us!"
Lin Anshun said.
When Bai Yan heard Lin Anshun's words, he would naturally let Na Hu come in to see Lin Anshun, after all, he was in such a hurry, there was obviously something important.
A moment later.
Under the leadership of the servants of Bai Yan's mansion, a man wearing a cloth coat and holding a sword came to the main hall and saluted Xunzhou.
"Doctor, there's news from the Wei Kingdom!"
As the man spoke, he inadvertently glanced at Bai Yan and Wei Lao, and his movements were very vague, but he still didn't have Bai Yan and Wei Lao.
This action is not to speak, but in the eyes of Bai Yan and Wei Lao, it is already saying that the person or thing that comes from the news in Wei is so important that it cannot be known to outsiders.
After watching the man finish speaking, he took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms and handed it to Xunzhou, Bai Yan continued to eat porridge with his head bored.
"What?"
After Xunzhou saw the contents of the bamboo slip, his face changed, and he turned his head to look at Lin Anshun with surprise, and then handed the bamboo slip to Lin Anshun.
After Lin Anshun took the bamboo slip, he looked at the content of it, and after a few breaths, his face changed greatly.
"Old Wei!"
Lin Anshun raised his head and looked at Wei Lao.
"News came from the State of Wei that the King of Wei died of a sudden illness!"
Lin Anshun said, and did not taboo the presence of Wei Lao and Bai Yan as the servant, and directly told the changes in the Wei Kingdom.
Wei Lao was eating porridge, and when he heard Lin Anshun's words, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, reached out and wiped his mouth, and knelt down to look at Lin Anshun.
"The old man already knows! Presumably Tian Ding is looking for the two of you to go to Wei quickly! ”
Wei Lao said.
I don't dare to say anything else, but for the news of Zhao, Wei, Qi, and Yan, Wei Lao's news is still very well-informed, so whether it is the news of King Wei's death or Tian Ding's arrival in Wei, Wei Lao already knows.
"This"
When Lin Anshun heard Wei Lao's words, he glanced at Xunzhou with a sad face.
When the two of them left Lord Tian before, they were looking for other reasons, but now Lord Tian must have known that the two of them had come to Yanmen Shanwu.
"It's okay, after I go back, I can inform Tian Ding of the news that the old man is in Yanmen Shanwucheng!"
Wei Lao is such a good person, when he saw Lin Anshun and Xunzhou's expressions, he knew what the two were worried about.
Wei Lao is different from Bai Yan, Bai Yan is now a general in the Qin State, holding heavy troops, so he is worried about the safety of his parents and family, but Wei Lao is different, even if Tian Ding knows, what can he do, say it, let Yingzheng know.
Hum!
If this is the case, then when this old man is there, it will not be Yanmen, but Xianyang!
With the dissatisfaction with Tian Ding in his heart, Wei Lao looked at Bai Yan who had been eating with his head down, and that look, he was a bad old man who was angry.
"Teacher!"
Bai Yan looked at Wei Lao's appearance, and he didn't know where to provoke Wei Lao, why he was so angry.
"King Wei died of illness?"
When Bai Yan heard the news of King Wei's death, his brows furrowed slightly, but fortunately, Bai Yan had always been prepared, and when he heard the news, the accident in his heart was just fleeting.
"If there is no accident, with the situation of Wei now, the person who succeeds the new king of Wei should be Wei fake!"
Bai Yan put down the dishes and chopsticks, the reason why he said that Wei Jiaohui was the new king of Chu, in addition to knowing the historical trend, was also because Bai Yan had seen Wei Jiao himself, and after understanding the situation in the Wei court, Bai Yan dared to be sure that those powerful ministers would definitely support Wei Jiao.
There is only Wei fake, which is most in line with the interests of those powerful ministers and scholars in the Wei court.
The territory of Wei is not as good as that of Yan, Qi, and Zhao, not to mention Qin and Wei, although the land is fertile and the commerce is developed, but due to the territorial restrictions, there are so many benefits that can be seen, and they are all crowded together.
Wei fake is the best choice under the interests.
"Teacher?"
"Huh? Teacher? ”
"Teacher?"
However, Bai Yan's words, Lin Anshun and the others did not hear, Lin Anshun, Xunzhou, Chen Ze, and Fu Yao, who were kneeling behind the wooden table at this moment, all looked at Bai Yan with a shocked face, and then looked at Wei Lao suspiciously.
Wei Lao has already accepted Bai Yan as an apprentice??
This is something that Wei Lao has never said to the four of them before, how can this not shock the four of them.
You must know that Bai Yan is a Qin person, but a child of the Bai family of the Qin State, hasn't Wei Lao always been disgusted with tyrannical Qin? How could he suddenly help Bai Yan, and even accept Bai Yan as a disciple!
Not to mention Lin Anshun and Xunzhou, who knew Wei Lao, were stunned, but Chen Ze and Fu Yao, the children of the two big clans of Qi State, Chen Ze and Fu Yao, were all stunned, looking at the scene in front of them at a loss, looking at Wei Lao, and looking at Bai Yan.
If you don't see it with your own eyes.
They couldn't believe that Wei Lao would actually accept Bai Yan as an apprentice.
"It's indeed Wei fake!"
When Wei Lao heard Bai Yan's words, he nodded and agreed.
When he saw the appearance of Lin Anshun and the four of Xunzhou, Wei Lao didn't know what these four people were thinking.
"The old man has already accepted Bai Yan as a disciple before!"
Wei Lao said, ignoring the shock of the four of them.
"During this time, you need to deal with the affairs of Yanmen as soon as possible, the old man has a hunch that the king of Chu and the king of Wei have died of illness one after another, which gives Qin a great opportunity, and Qin will definitely have big moves."
Wei Lao looked thoughtful, then looked at Bai Yan and said softly.
To be honest, Wei Lao has always been very puzzled about the death of King Wei, you must know that King Wei is not like King Chu, who is sick all the year round, and King Wei's body has not been reported to be heavy before.
"Huh?"
When Bai Yan heard Wei Lao's words, he raised his head in shock and looked at Wei Lao.
Bai Yan couldn't hear the meaning of Wei Lao's words, that is, the death of King Wei was likely to be killed by King Qin, if this is the case, Qin will definitely make a big move next.
"Yes!"
Bai Yan replied to Wei Lao.
Wei Lao didn't know Ying Zheng's plans, but Bai Yan knew that Ying Zheng left Li Si alone last time, and he was probably ready to make a move against Yingchuan, and eventually weakened its power even with the Chu family.
Bai Yan didn't think much about it before, but now when he heard Wei Lao's words, although he felt that King Wei was the king of a country after all, he was not so easy to be killed, and there was no real evidence, but a trace of suspicion still appeared in Bai Yan's heart.
Of course, Bai Yan would not say this idea in his heart.
Woe comes from the mouth.
Bai Yan knows this truth better than anyone else.
"After you finish eating, let's go and deal with the important affairs of Yanmen first! Lin Anshun and Xunzhou are estimated to be leaving Yanmen today, and the old man will talk to them alone! ”
Wei Lao said to Bai Yan.
It's not that Wei Lao has anything to say to avoid Bai Yan, but Wei Lao knows better than others that how many important things are piled up in this mansion now need to be handled by Bai Yan personally, and with the news of Bai Yan's return, after the big victory, not to mention the scholars here in Yanmen Shanwu City, that is, other places in Yanmen, and even other counties, will come here to congratulate Bai Yan for a long time.
Those people are sophisticated and cannot be ignored.
What's more, Jing Qi of the Jing clan of Chu State and Zhao Wushang of the Zhao clan have been here many times before, and both of them are Xiong Cheng's henchmen, and now that Chu is in chaos, these two people do not go back to Chu to help Xiong Yingshu, but are waiting for Bai Yan to come back.
This is obviously uneasy and kind!
Coupled with the death of King Wei, Bai Yan is afraid that it will be difficult to have leisure in the future.
"Yes! Teacher! ”
Bai Yan got up and saluted Lin Anshun, Xunzhou and others, signaling that he would not be accompanied.
Although Lin Anshun and Xunzhou had something to say, they didn't choose to speak in the end when they heard Wei Lao's words, Wei Lao was the elder of the two, and they both respected Wei Lao very much from the bottom of their hearts, and they didn't dare to refute Wei Lao's words.
A few breaths later.
looked at Bai Yan's departing back.
Xunzhou finally couldn't hold back and turned his head to look at Wei Lao.
"Wei Lao, Xunzhou doesn't know, why did Wei Lao accept Bai Yan as a disciple, Wei Lao has never always liked violent Qin"
Xunzhou asked.
Lin Anshun, Chen Ze, and Fu Yao also looked at Wei Lao with puzzled eyes.
"One day, you will know!"
Wei Lao sighed and shook his head.
The four people in front of him only saw him accepting Bai Yan as a disciple now, but they didn't know that Bai Yan was not only from Qi like them, but also a closed disciple of Tian Jin as early as the beginning.
Tian Jin
Wei Lao thought of his old friend, his eyes were full of longing, he was going to wait for Bai Yan to come back, he personally went to Qi State, according to the place Bai Yan said, to worship Tian Jin's tomb, never thought that the Xiongnu went south, and now that the King of Wei died violently, Qin State obviously has to take major measures, and the situation in the world will definitely change again.
I have to wait a little longer, help Bai Yan, so that Bai Yan is not bound by affairs, and when there is turmoil, he can also remind Bai Yan by Bai Yan's side.
Turning his head and looking at Lin Anshun, who had grown up since childhood, Wei Lao couldn't tell Lin Anshun that Bai Yan was the same as Xunzhou, and that they were all Qi people, so he could only ask for some trivial matters.
"After you go back, you see Tian Ding"
Inside the study.
After Bai Yan had breakfast, he returned to the study and continued to deal with the accumulated important matters.
Half an hour later, the servant informed Bai Yan that the four people who came to visit had left, but Bai Yan did not leave when he heard this.
Bai Yan believes in Wei Lao, and the matter of Xiang Yu and Fan Sui in the later generations, Bai Yan can always remember, not to mention that Bai Yan knows a sentence clearly, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure.
And Wei Lao is far more than just a treasure.
During the period of the Tyrant family, he kept giving Bai Yan warm tea, and sat quietly beside Bai Yan in the study, without disturbing Bai Yan, just quietly accompanied, the tea was cold and warm, and the tea was empty.
And with the rising sun.
Bai Yan looked at the rolls of bamboo slips, and divided them into three categories, one can be directly disposed of, dispose of, need to be sent to Xianyang, put aside, need to go over in person, and there is only one place.
Footsteps are heard.
Bai Yan raised his head, and when he saw Zhao Qiu coming to the study accompanied by the maid, Bai Yan put down the bamboo slip, slowly got up, raised his hand, and saluted Zhao Qiu.
"No need to do that, in exchange, remember what you promised me!"
For the first time, Zhao Qiu saw Bai Yan so solemnly and grateful to him, his beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and he looked aside.
After Bai Yanli finished, he heard Zhao Qiu's words, looked at Zhao Qiu, and showed a little smile.
"It's not Bai Yan alone, Woyang, Pingcheng, Shanwu, and even the people of the entire Yanmen County, as well as tens of thousands of border riders!"
Bai Yan said.
Grateful to not one person, along with tens of thousands of border horsemen and the entire people of Yanmen County, should be grateful for Zhao Qiu's news, without Zhao Qiu's news, no one knows how many people will die.
"You will say, don't blame the side rider for listening to your tongue and being dead to you!"
When Zhao Qiu heard Bai Yan's words, he didn't know what to think, but he didn't let Bai Yan go.
Looking at Zhao Qiu's appearance, a smile appeared on the face of the Violent Clan, and he took out a small wooden cup from the wooden plate placed on the wooden table and poured a cup of tea.
Inside the study.
As Bai Yan dealt with the accumulated important matters, Zhao Qiu lazily supported his pretty face, showing his charming temperament, and when he was seen by ordinary men, it was estimated that it would be difficult to control, and he couldn't wait to bully the beautiful woman.
"After this time, it is estimated that Gongzi Jia will also suspect me wherever he is!"
Zhao Qiu said softly, her beautiful eyes looked at Bai Yan who was looking at the bamboo slip in front of her, she seemed to be a little helpless, and she seemed to have a trace of loss.
There are many, many branch tribes of the Zhao Wang clan in the Zhao Kingdom and even all parts of the world, and many of them have declined, but there is not much left of the branch of King Zhao Xiaocheng, let alone the bloodline of King Zhao Mourning Xiang later.
"Guo Zong must have fled to other places at this time, Gongzijia's only soldiers and horses are already old and weak, coupled with the previous drought, although Gongzijia has a little grain, but he can't support it for long, and now he has sent troops to rescue Yan Guo, and the land has been abolished!"
Bai Yan glanced at Zhao Qiu, then looked at it with a bamboo slip in one hand, picked up the teacup in the other, and drank the tea gently.
In and out of the words, Bai Yan was telling Zhao Qiu that Gongzi Jia, who was in the current generation, had lost his only strength, and it would be difficult to restore his foundation without ten years or eight years.
"You believe in Wang Jian so much?"
Zhao Qiu asked.
In Zhao Qiu's eyes, although Wang Jian is a general of the Qin State, but in terms of battlefield strategy, leading the troops to fight, he is not very strong, when Wu Anjun Li Mu was alive, Wang Jian led the troops to attack the Chu State several times, and finally retreated without a fight.
Why did Bai Yan believe so much that Wang Jian would definitely win, in case Wang Jian lost!
"Wang Jian is the general of the Qin State, appointed by Yingzheng, and is deeply respected by his colleagues and generals in the court and even the army of the Qin State, such a general, placed anywhere, is enough to make people feel at ease!"
Bai Yan explained.
Looking at the bamboo slip in his hand, suddenly a cronie hurriedly came to the study, and under Bai Yan's gaze, he held a scroll of letters and gave it to Bai Yan.
"General, Luo Yin's secret letter!"
The cronie said to Bai Yan with his hand, his voice was very soft.
When Zhao Qiu and the Tyrant clan heard this, they looked at each other, they were very puzzled, Luoyin and the two of them were naturally no strangers, it was the fief given to Bai Yan by Yingzheng, and then by Bai Yan's order, it became a famous businessman, and many businessmen who went to Xianyang here in Yanmen praised Luoyin today as a place for businessmen.
Looking at the appearance of the soldier now, it is obvious that this news was sent quickly.
In front of the wooden table.
Bai Yan opened the bamboo slip and looked at the contents of it, then his brows began to wrinkle, and after putting down the bamboo slip, he showed a thoughtful expression, with a solemn appearance with a trace of doubt.
"Who is it?"
Bai Yan said softly in puzzlement.
Seeing this, the Tyrant looked at Bai Yan with beautiful eyes.
"General, what happened to Luoyin?"
The Tyrant asked with concern.
Bai Yan glanced at the Tyrant beside him and didn't hide it.
"Luoyin came with news, in a hut in the city, a corpse was found, when the body was found, it had been dead for a long time, and after the investigation of the Qin officials, it was reported to Xianyang, and it has been confirmed that the deceased is Qu Luan Jizi, the right Yin of Chu State. Qu Yi!! ”
When Bai Yan said his name, he looked at Zhao Qiu.
Qu Yi, he knew, before Zhao Guo died, he had seen Qu Yi in Handan City, and Qu Yi was still a guest of Zhao Qiu and Gongzijia.
"Qu Yi?"
When Zhao Qiu heard Bai Yan's words, the laziness on his pretty face suddenly disappeared, he raised his head, and his beautiful eyes looked at Bai Yan in a daze.
Qu Yi is dead?
Who would dare to kill Qu Yi? You must know that Qu Yi is a member of the Qu clan of Chu State, and his father is the right Yin of Chu State, which can be described as a prominent background, who has the courage to dare to attack Qu Yi, or rather, who can actually kill Qu Yi?
Or in Luoyin?
Luoyin, but Bai Yan's fiefdom!
"Looks like someone is trying to frame you!"
Zhao Qiu said softly.
This is the only possibility that Zhao Qiu can think of, that is, someone killed Qu Yi and wanted to frame Bai Yan, but that person didn't expect that after Bai Yan left Xianyang, he did not stay in Luoyin, but when he was worried about Yanmen, he hurried overnight and had already rushed back to Yanmen.
The Tyrant looked at Bai Yan with some concern.
Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu's words and didn't say anything, now in Luoyin City, not to mention that there are people in the Bai clan taking care of, that is, with the fall of the three families, other scholar clans have gradually risen, and those scholar clans will not let others touch him, let alone let Luoyin have turmoil.
"Where is Xianyang and the Bai clan in this matter, they will send someone to investigate!"
Bai Yan said.
However, Bai Yan didn't have much hope for the investigation clearly, the person who could kill Qu Yi was obviously not an ordinary person, and as more and more businessmen gathered in Luoyin, it was not easy to investigate this matter.
If he was in Luoyin at this time, he might have known it earlier, and he might have a chance to find out who killed Qu Yi.
But right now, he is not in Luoyin, and he can only pin his hopes on the Bai family and Xianyang.
"General, outside the mansion, there are two people who want to see the general! It is said that it is called Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang! ”
A maid came to the door and reported to Bai Yanyu.
Hearing the maid's words, Bai Yan looked at the bamboo slips, and it was useless to think about Qu Yi's matter at the moment, so he could only put it aside, hoping that the Bai family could investigate it clearly.
"I'm going to go to the county guard mansion later, and then go to the restaurant, I guess I won't be back until later!"
After Bai Yan put the bamboo slips, he said to the Tyrant Clan.
Hearing this, the Tyrant nodded.
"Drink less!"
The Violent Clan whispered that in the matter of going to the restaurant, the Violent Clan has never stopped Bai Yan, she knows that the reason why Bai Yan often takes others to the restaurant to drink is not because there are young women in the restaurant, coveting the beauty of those women, but has been silently protecting her, even Zhao Qiu.
Although the Tyrant is not good at scheming and wits, she also knows that what she can do is to prepare a bowl of hot chicken soup for Bai Yan when Bai Yan has not returned.
"Hmm!"
Bai Yan smiled at the Tyrant Clan, then got up, saluted Zhao Qiu, and walked towards the outside of the study.
The Tyrant clan watched Bai Yan leave, looked at Zhao Qiu, and found that Zhao Qiu had been staring at the bamboo slips sent by Luoyin, stunned, as if he was thinking about something.
Looked at.
The Tyrant didn't bother Zhao Qiu.
In front of the wooden table.
Zhao Qiu didn't pay attention to Bai Yan's departure, and at this moment she looked at the bamboo slips, full of doubts.
Just now she ignored one thing, that is, Qu Yi, why did she go to Luoyin? Is it to hear that Yingzheng rewarded Luoyin to Bai Yan, or is it curious to hear what happened in Luoyin, or.
He, he has already seen Bai Yan!
Thinking of this, Zhao Qiu's pupils shrank, and he raised his head in shock.
This is not impossible, but if this is the case, this is a little unexplainable, that is, Qu Yi has seen Bai Yan and knows that Bai Yan is Xu Zixiao, so who will kill Qu Yi?
Who will help Bai Yan, and even Bai Yan doesn't know?
It's definitely not the Bai family, or Bai Yan's network forces, even if those people kill Qu Yi, they have enough ability to dispose of Qu Yi's body.
Who will it be?
While Zhao Qiu was thinking, his beautiful eyes kept looking at the bamboo slip, full of doubts and puzzlement.
After a long time, he shook his head helplessly.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much, Qu Yi's death should indeed be someone who wants to blame Bai Yan."
Zhao Qiu sighed, turned his head to look out the window, now that he can resist the chaos of the Chu State of Qin alone, the Zhao State wants to take the opportunity to restore, just like the original Qi State, the opportunity has become less and less.
Compared with Qu Yi's death, what she can do now is to wait, waiting for the day when the Qin State will attack the Qi State.
On that day, either she died, or Bai Yan returned to Qi.
