After agreeing with Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang to meet at Lu's Restaurant in the evening, Bai Yan came to the county guard's mansion.

Inside the study.

When Yang Lao saw Bai Yan, he couldn't help laughing.

"This time I fought with the Huns, were you injured?"

Yang Lao asked, in fact, before Bai Yan came back, Yang Lao had already asked people to ask, knowing that Bai Yan was not seriously injured in this battle, but now that he saw Bai Yan, Yang Lao still cared.

"Elder Yang! This time, Bai Yan was fortunate to be protected by the soldiers desperately, and there was no hindrance! ”

Bai Yan bowed his hand to Yang Lao.

Hearing this, Yang Lao nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and after returning the salute to Bai Yan, he motioned for Bai Yan to come and take a seat.

"Fortunately, you are in Yanmen, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable!"

Yang Lao looked at Bai Yan, who was kneeling down in front of him in the official uniform of the Qin State, and sighed with emotion.

If it weren't for Bai Yan's entrustment, he wrote to Xianyang, and Bai Yan just returned to Yanmen before the Xiongnu went south, Yang Lao didn't dare to imagine that Yanmen, which had experienced a great drought this time, would be burned and looted by the Xiongnu again.

And once Yanmen is lost, he, Yang Duanhe, as the county guard of Yanmen, will not die in the hands of the Huns, and he is afraid that he will be punished.

Therefore, what Yang Duanhe said did not lie in the slightest, he was really glad that Bai Yan returned early.

"Winning the Huns, Bai Yan is nothing more than relying on the side cavalry soldiers and not afraid of death!"

Bai Yan replied modestly, thinking of the bloody appearance of the cavalry soldiers in the Yunzhong Mountain Range, even Bai Yan, who commanded the Bai clan's iron cavalry, couldn't help but sigh.

"After this battle, Bai Yan finally understood why Li Mu in the past was able to annihilate the army of the Qin State with the same number of troops, and the momentum of the side riding was unstoppable!"

Bai Yan looked at Yang Duanhe and said that day in the pass in the clouds, there were 5,000 cavalry soldiers, none of them retreated, and none of them survived.

Inside the study.

Bai Yan was talking, Yang Lao listened carefully, kept nodding, his eyes were full of approval, when Yang Lao personally saw Wang Jian leading the army, he didn't dare to fight with Li Mu, the biggest reason was the momentum of side riding.

Yang Lao knew the habit of General Wang Jian leading his troops, with the huge army of the Qin State and the continuous supply of the Qin State, if he was not very afraid, how could he retreat without a fight.

And privately.

Wang Jian also once said that among all the countries in the world, the most feared is the side cavalry under Li Mu, the elite of the side cavalry, and even the Chu State, which is known as a million soldiers, is far inferior.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a maid slowly came to the study with tea and poured tea for Yang Lao and Bai Yan.

"Zhao Jiangyifang, once known for his bravery, is now dying in the Yunzhong Mountains, it's a pity!"

After listening to Bai Yan's story, Yang Lao nodded slowly.

The name of Zhao Jiangyifang, Yang Lao is not unfamiliar, he was one of the few generals under Li Mu at the beginning, and now he finally surrendered to the Qin State and served Bai Yan, but he died in battle with the Huns, which is really regrettable.

"Yifang died in battle, so now among the side riders, can there be a replacement general?"

Elder Yang looked up at Bai Yan.

Bai Yan heard Yang Lao's words, and after thinking about it in his mind, he shook his head, Yifang, Hewlett-Packard, and Yu He, these three people were the three major generals under Li Mu, and they have all been demoted after the surrender of Qin, but compared to others, these three people at least have the title of Qin State, after this battle, Kuai Jin, Guan Shou and others are still not the lords of the main generals.

For a period of time, Bai Yan has been thinking about this problem, how to fill this vacancy and avoid the worst result of 'the transfer of Chu generals'.

Thinking about it, among the Bai clan's iron cavalry generals, there is no candidate, Bai Yan can only focus on the Ran family, I heard Bai Yu say before that Ran Wu's family Ran can be trusted, and in addition to the Ran family, followed by Lao Zhen and Feng Cang, who are now staying in Yingchuan.

The two of them could believe it, after all, it was the two of them who killed Han Ling in the first place.

"Does Elder Yang have a recommendation?"

Bai Yan looked at Elder Yang.

Now that Elder Yang is asking about this matter, maybe Elder Yang has someone to recommend to him.

"But there is!"

When Elder Yang heard Bai Yan's words, he nodded with a smile.

Seeing Bai Yan's puzzled gaze, Yang Lao didn't hide it, and directly said a person.

"Wu'er Yang Yan!"

Elder Yang said this, sighed deeply again, and looked at Bai Yan.

At the beginning of the battle between Yan and the city, Yang Yan almost made a big mistake, and even almost died outside the city, but fortunately Bai Yan led the Bai iron cavalry and was saved by charging the iron cavalry, so Bai Yan can be said to be Yang Yan's savior.

Although Yang Yan survived, and because Wang Shangnian did not make a big mistake, and because he remembered Yang's loyalty, he did not surrender, but because of this, he was transferred to Hangu Pass as a guard.

Although Hangu Pass is the world's Xiongguan and the biggest guarantee of Qin, Yang Lao knows that now that Qin has destroyed Han and Zhao one after another, and now it is attacking Yan, it will definitely attack Wei and Chu in the future.

Ying Zheng's grand plan for the Central Plains, the period of the four seas to one, the world to Qin, this is the time to make great contributions, but Yang Yan is stationed in Hangu Pass, which makes Yang Lao, as a father, how to feel at ease.

You must know that he and his brother Yang Xian are both very old, even if the Yang family has connections, what they need more is the Yang family's backbone.

"This time, the old man also wants to seek a position for my son Yang Xian!"

Yang Lao looked at Bai Yan, raised his hand, and said softly.

Elder Yang's tone was very light, and when he spoke, he was completely like an ordinary person, an old father who was good for his son.

In Yang Lao's eyes, among the generals of the entire Qin State now, the eldest son Yang Yan he hopes most will follow, not Yang Yan with Wang Qian, Xin Sheng, Meng Wu, Li Yao and other generals, but with Bai Yan, who is not yet a general, and the person in front of him is a child of the Bai family.

First, whether it is Wang Qian, or Meng Wu and others, those families have too many dependent forces, Yang Yan goes, there is not much chance, even if Wang Qian, Meng Wu and others are given a chance, they have to take care of other scholars, Yang Yan past, there will not be many opportunities.

Second, Bai Yan had a life-saving grace for Yang Yan, and Yang Yan has always remembered it, and the relationship between the two is very good, so there is no need to worry that Yang Yan will not be reused.

Third, although Bai Yan's title is low now, and the Bai family's experience is not as good as the Mengshi and Wang families at this time, but Bai Yan's ability, whether it is in the war against Han, or the destruction of Zhao, or the two battles with the Xiongnu, Yang Lao can see the courage and courage from Bai Yan, and make a plan.

What Yang Lao saw in Bai Yan was what Yang Lao saw with his own eyes, so Yang Lao was willing to let his eldest son follow Bai Yan.

In addition, Yang Lao knew better that if it had been before, Bai Yan might have been trapped in Yanmen to prevent the north from going south, but after the battle of the Yunzhong Mountains, the Xiongnu would never dare to have the idea of going south again in three or five years.

In this way, in the north, where there is no border trouble, Bai Yan is sitting on the two most elite iron cavalry in the entire Qin State, the Bai Iron Cavalry and the Side Cavalry.

Wait for Bai Yan to lead the side cavalry to recover.

In Yingzheng's war against the countries, he will definitely not ignore Bai Yan and Bai Yan's command, these two elite iron cavalry armies in Yanmen in the north.

Hence the variety.

After seeing Bai Yan today, Yang Lao couldn't wait to say his request, and said those words to Bai Yan, which seemed to be a recommendation, but in fact, it was not a personal move, the relationship between the Yang family and the Bai family, Yang Lao knew that when he opened his mouth, Bai Yan should not refuse.

What's more, this is also a request from Yang Lao.

After all, if you want to transfer Yang Yan to Yanmen and serve as the general of the side cavalry, Yang Lao and the Yang family alone are far from enough, and they still need the help of the Bai family, and most importantly, they also need Bai Yan, who has just won a big victory, to write to Xianyang in person.

With Bai Yan's letter, even if there are other forces and families in the court who are dissatisfied, it is difficult to interfere with Yingzheng's decision.

Inside the study.

Bai Yan was a little surprised when he heard Yang Lao's words, he didn't expect that the person recommended by Yang Lao was actually Yang Yan, you must know that Yang Yan served as a guard in Hangu Pass, and he was also the eldest son of Yang Lao.

However, looking at Yang Lao's appearance, Bai Yan thought about it slightly, and roughly guessed what Yang Lao was thinking, looking at Yang Lao's smile, Bai Yan could understand Yang Lao's difficulty, just like his father, he finally silently resisted everything on his shoulders, only wishing him well, watching him being slandered, tired, and laughed at because of the smell of corpses, although his father didn't say it, he felt more uncomfortable than anyone else.

"There is no deputy general for a day of riding, Bai Yan is difficult to feel at ease, Bai Yan was worried that General Yang Yan was old and Bai Yan was not qualified, so he didn't dare to open his mouth to Yang Lao rashly, let alone write to Xianyang without authorization, and now there is Yang Lao's words, which is really the luck of the side ride, Bai Yan's luck!"

Bai Yan laughed, and bowed to Yang Lao with a happy and excited face.

"General Yang Yan's loyalty and bravery, Bai Yan has been thinking about it for a long time, Yang Lao's words today, don't play Bai Yan!"

Bai Yan said with a serious face.

Seeing Bai Yan's sudden appearance, Yang Lao was unprepared, didn't think much about it, and nodded.

"The matter of transfer involves one party, so it is naturally not a joke!"

Yang Lao saw that Bai Yan was more excited than himself, as if he was afraid that he would regret it, and his old face showed an expression of crying and laughing.

And hearing the deputy general in Bai Yan's words, Yang Lao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good! At this time, Bai Yan can be determined with Yang Lao, there can be no more regrets, it happens that Yang Lao has a letter here, you might as well ask Yang Lao to write a letter to his family, send it to Hangu Pass, and hand it over to General Yang Yan, Bai Yan also wrote immediately, and submitted it to Xianyang! ”

When Bai Yan heard Yang Lao's words, he sighed deeply, patted the wooden table excitedly, turned his head, and looked at the maid pouring tea on the side.

"Go get a roll of bamboo slips"

Bai Yan originally wanted the maid to get a roll of bamboo slips, but when he said so, he seemed to dislike the maid's slow movements, so he got up directly, walked towards the wooden frame where the bamboo slips were placed on the side, came to the bamboo straw that was blank, and turned around and returned to the wooden table with two rolls of bamboo.

Such an anxious posture made Yang Laozhi smile from ear to ear, and shook his head with a smile.

Watching Bai Yan keep bowing his head and writing, Yang Lao breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Cai didn't react, at this time, Yang Lao looked at Bai Yan, where he didn't know Fang Cai Bai Yan's intentions, he didn't expect that he was so young, but he could take care of his face as an old man so carefully.

Thinking of this, Yang Lao's old eyes looked at Bai Yan's gaze, and a flash of gratitude, at this moment, looking at Bai Yan's young age, Yang Lao really sighed, Bai Shi finally came out of a terrible person.

Less than a moment.

A volume of letters in Xianyang was written in Bai Yan's hands, and Bai Yan took out the seal of the county lieutenant from the huge sleeve pocket of the official uniform, stamped it on it, and then handed it to Yang Lao for a look.

On the side, there is also a plate of official mud that Yang Lao uses on weekdays.

"Good!"

Yang Lao read the contents of the bamboo slip and saw Bai Yan's reason for requesting to be transferred to Yang Yan, and nodded.

"By the way, did you know?"

Yang Lao looked at Bai Yan, thought about it, and after hesitating, he continued to speak, but before he said that, he instructed the maid to leave, and after the maid left, he ordered the servants who were guarding outside to not allow anyone to approach without permission.

After doing all this, Yang Lao put his mind at ease and looked at Bai Yan.

"Previously, there were two disciples in the palace of Shi Minuma, one of them was Jing Qi of the Jing clan of the Chu State, and the other was Zhao Wushang of the Zhao clan."

Yang Lao said.

When he said these two names, Yang Lao frowned slightly, and there was also a trace of doubt in his gaze when he looked at Bai Yan.

Elder Yang can make his eldest son Yang Yan not rely on the Wang family and the Mengshi family, but choose Bai Yan, naturally there is something different about Yang Lao, and now, the stay of Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang makes Yang Lao keenly aware that something is wrong.

The king of Chu died of illness, and now in the state of Chu, because of the position of the king of Chu, there is a chaos, and as Xiong Ying's two henchmen, Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang can understand that they are trying to win over Chang Wenjun, but now, after Mi Jing is safe, he is still staying in Yanmen.

Staying to meet Bai Yan is more important than the position of King of Chu?

"I've already seen those two, Bai Yan also has an appointment with those two, and I'll meet at Lu's Restaurant tonight!"

Bai Yan heard Yang Lao's words, nodded, and told what happened before he came.

And when Yang Lao heard that Bai Yan had an appointment with Jing Qi and Zhao Wu, not only did he not breathe a sigh of relief, but frowned even more, if he was still suspicious at the beginning, then now, Yang Lao has already realized that the purpose of the two must be Bai Yan.

"It's a long story at this time, does Elder Yang still remember that Uncle Bai Yan was assassinated in Negative Millet?"

Bai Yan said this, thought about it, and looked at Yang Lao, since he had already written to Xianyang and wanted to transfer Yang Yan, then Bai Yan didn't want to hide Yang Lao and Yang Yan from Bai's affairs.

After all, Yang Lao, who has experienced ups and downs, is fine, but Yang Yan is different, he is friends with Mi Jing, once Yang Yan becomes the deputy general of the side cavalry, then you must know what happened at the beginning, otherwise Yang Yan will definitely be used one day.

"Bai Yu was assassinated?"

When Yang Lao heard Bai Yan suddenly mention Bai Yu's assassination, he was a little puzzled, not that Jing Qi and Zhao Wushang

"Is it the Jing family and the Zhao family?"

Yang Lao thought of something, and looked up at Bai Yan, his eyes were full of solemnity.

Bai Yan shook his head, looked at Yang Lao, and did not speak.

Old Yang frowned, but in the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Bai Yan with great shock in his eyes.

"Is there any evidence?"

Old Yang's face was a little flustered at this moment, and he couldn't believe the thought that came to his mind.

"The person who was previously in Shangjun Gaonu, who united with the Xiongnu and reported to the Xiongnu was not as investigated, but the dead Lu Lou!"

Bai Yan said, looking at Yang Lao.

The meaning of this is already obvious, not only Bai Yu's affairs, but even the affairs of Shangjun Gaonu are planned by Chang Wenjun and Chang Pingjun behind their backs.

"What?"

When Yang Lao heard Bai Yan's words one after another, his face changed greatly, Bai Yan's words and words, but what he said behind him was enough to make people frightened, who would dare to believe that there was such a deep secret behind this.

Lu Lou, if Yang Lao is not mistaken, he has vaguely heard this name, it seems that it was many years ago, and it was

Chang Wenjun's mansion.

Thinking of this, and then thinking of some things, some places that originally seemed ordinary, Yang Lao suddenly felt wrong, especially the place where Meng Tian was stationed at that time, if it was according to Bai Yan's words, then it was not a coincidence that Meng Tian was at that time!

Qi country Linzi.

In a remote countryside, on a wasteland, a carriage slowly stopped, and in the midst of four servants holding swords, a woman wearing Qi costumes and carrying a delicate jade hairpin walked among the barren grass.

The breeze blows, and the tall wild grass in the fields sways from side to side.

The woman came to a stop beside a small mound overgrown with weeds, knelt on the ground, and gently plucked the weeds from the ground with her slender white hands.

A tear slid down the woman's cheek and eventually fell to the ground.

"Mother, Shi'er has come to see you!"

Master Xu's hands trembled tremblingly, weeding the small hill in front of her, the reason why she went to Lu's Restaurant at the beginning was because of this land, after her mother's death, she came from Zhao State, not only did she not have the ability to survive, but also had no land to bury her mother.

I don't know how long it has been, the scorching sun has passed, and Xu Shi is still whispering beside the small mound.

is like a little girl, telling her mother at home that what happened today is sad and happy, and vaguely, the word Bai Yan always appears faintly.

It wasn't until the sun was about to set, and it took the woman several hours to clean up the small weeds on the small mound, and a small grave soil appeared.

After the sacrifice.

With reluctance, Xu Shi slowly got up and walked towards the carriage.

After taking refuge in Bai Yan's account, they have always been loyal to Bai Yan, Bai Yan has never treated the soldiers badly, let alone the doormen, so after these four people came to Qi after driving Xu Shi to Qi State, no matter how hard they were along the way, they never complained.

Right now, seeing Xu Shi coming, the four servants were ready to escort Xu Shi back to Linzi City.

But a moment later.

On the way back to Linzi, Xu Shi suddenly shouted to stop.

The four servants looked at each other in bewilderment, and at a glance, they went out on a small road in the distance, and there was a very delicate carriage on the carriage, and nothing else.

"Let's go!"

Suddenly, Xu Shi's words came from inside the carriage again, and the four servants and the groom heard this, and although they were puzzled, they continued to hurry.

on the carriage.

The exquisitely dressed Xu Shi is very beautiful, although it is not as beautiful as the Tyrant Clan and Zhao Qiu, it is a peerless beauty, and it is not as beautiful as Tian Feiyan, but the carefully dressed Xu Shi, placed in any place, will make countless men salivate.

After waiting for a long time, Xu Shi lifted the curtain of the car's curtains, turned sideways and looked back, looking at the path he had just passed.

Just now she actually saw Tian Ding's daughter, Tian Feiyan actually followed an old woman, obediently supporting the old woman, but Xu Shi saw with his own eyes that the old woman's clothes were by no means noble.

What the hell is going on?

Thinking that Tian Feiyan was walking on the path and supporting the old woman, he hadn't noticed himself all the time, Xu Shi looked at it with doubts, and saw that it was not early, so he could only come back tomorrow.

Who is that old woman? can actually let Tian Ding's daughter, Tian Feiyan of Tianfu, support her, showing such a well-behaved appearance.

And why did they go to that path, where did that path lead?

One by one, puzzled thoughts surfaced in Xu Shi's heart, but at the moment, Xu Shi not only didn't want Tian Feiyan to see him, but also wanted to see it in person.

After all, he really liked her.

In Xu Shi's mind, the boy who often reads bamboo slips and writes in the middle of the night, still under the candlelight, reads bamboo slips, and writes.
