In the Xianyang Palace, when Princess Qi came to the study, as soon as she entered, she saw Concubine Qi around Yingzheng.

Seeing Concubine Qi, Princess Mi did not show a different color, in her eyes, in the palace, she is already very favored, if she can't tolerate others, she is really not worthy of Yingzheng's favor, let alone her son Fusu.

With the hot soup, he came to the study, walked to the wooden table and sat down slowly, glanced at Concubine Qi, Princess Mi smiled at the corner of her mouth, nodded slightly as a salute, and did not disturb Yingzheng, who was reading the bamboo silk, reached out and took out the hot soup in the wooden plate and put it aside.

When she saw that Concubine Qi was about to give way, Princess Qi hurriedly looked at Concubine Qi, shook her head with a smile, and signaled that Concubine Qi did not have to leave.

After getting up.

Princess Mi glanced at Ying Zheng, and was about to turn around and leave the study.

Concubine Qi invisibly obeyed Princess Mi throughout the whole process, looking at Princess Mi, Concubine Qi knew that if it weren't for the fact that Princess Qi had been persuading the king to send troops a few days ago, she would not have angered the king.

"Stay!"

Ying Zheng didn't know when he had raised his head, looked at Princess Mi who was leaving, and said softly.

After speaking, he continued to look down at the bamboo silk in his hand.

But at this moment, suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the study.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Yanmen!"

Outside the study, a eunuch reported.

With the permission of Ying Zheng, a eunuch with a palace guard hurried to the study.

"Your Majesty! Yanmen news! ”

The palace guard knelt on the ground, holding a roll of bamboo silk in both hands.

Hearing the news that it was Yanmen, Ying Zheng's eyes showed a trace of worry and uneasiness, and he looked at the bamboo slip held by the palace guard.

When Princess Mi saw Ying Zheng's appearance, she saw that she was standing closest to the palace guard, so she walked in front of the palace guard, gently took the bamboo slip with both hands, turned back to the wooden table, and handed it to Ying Zheng.

Princess Mi watched Ying Zheng take over the bamboo slip, Ying Zheng's words in the past two days were still vivid, and she already knew why Ying Zheng attached so much importance to Bai Yan.

The world's scholars are fierce, with the destruction of Han and Zhao, and the Qin attack, the scholars of all countries have been secretly fighting against the Qin State, and the talented people have not entered the Qin State, and the virtuous people have left the Qin State, such as the root of the Yingchuan disaster.

Behind every thing, all the celebrities are leaving, and the people in the world are unwilling to be Qin.

The county order is different from the county official, the county order is not recommended by some township elders and transferred, and it is not ordinary people who can serve as the county order and keep a county in order.

Behind the transfer of troops to help Yanmen, Yingzheng has decided to support Bai Yan as the pillar of the Qin State in the future.

In front of the wooden table.

Ying Zheng took the bamboo slip, and with a worried gaze, he hurriedly opened it, and couldn't wait to know where the situation was in Yanmen now.

After the bamboo slip was opened, Ying Zhengzai carefully looked at the contents of it.

Moment.

Ying Zheng's face changed greatly.

Seeing this, Princess Qi and Concubine Qi had already thought about how to comfort Yingzheng.

I didn't think about it, but I saw Yingzheng suddenly look ecstatic.

"Good! Great goodness! ”

Ying Zheng looked at the contents of the bamboo slip over and over again, and after confirming it again and again, he was amazed again and again.

When he put down the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng's face was happy, which was in stark contrast to his previous appearance.

"Your Majesty, there is good news from Yanmen?"

Princess Mi looked at Ying Zheng with some curiosity.

Princess Mi doesn't remember, how long has Ying Zheng not laughed like this, half a month, a month, or longer, Princess Mi can't remember clearly, the countless bad news and some trivial things in Yingchuan in the past make Ying Zheng often worried, and it is the norm not to smile.

Without laughing, don't say that the other concubines, that is, her, are actually a little afraid of Yingzheng.

After all, Ying Zheng's majesty is too impressive, and Ying Zheng, who is expressionless and frowning, makes people nervous spontaneously.

The news from Yanmen in the past few days has made Yingzheng emotionally unstable, irritable and impulsive, if it weren't for Chang Wenjun's instructions, she wouldn't have persuaded Yingzheng hard.

Now that she suddenly saw Ying Zheng like this, Princess Mi had to wonder what kind of news could make Ying Zheng laugh so much.

"Yanmen is a big victory! Bai Yan wins! ”

When Ying Zheng heard Princess Mi's inquiry, he even forgot that he was a little irritable because of Princess Mi's chatter before.

At this moment, Ying Zheng was holding the bamboo slip, and the expression on his face was full of joy.

As the king of Qin, a few days ago, Yang Duanhe of Yanmen informed him that Yanmen was in danger, and even had prepared for the worst.

As a result, only two days later, the news of Yanmen's victory came.

Bai Yan led the side cavalry, in the Yunzhong Mountains, killed more than 26,000 Huns, and the head of the Huns, Mandan, was seriously injured by Bai Yan and fled north, not knowing life and death.

A moment ago, Ying Zheng was still worried about the safety of Yanmen, and even did not hesitate to transfer troops to help Yanmen, as for attacking Yan State, Ying Zheng was already preparing for the worst in his heart.

As a result, the next moment, Bai Yan defeated the Huns, and the news of killing more than 26,000 Huns was sent to the front, this instant reversal caught people off guard, and after reacting, it was a huge joy, so that Yingzheng couldn't control the excitement in his heart.

"Bai Yan!"

Ying Zheng thought of the young man who left that day, and asked himself several times about the permission he had given, whether it was right to let the young man return to Yanmen without being by his side, and what to do if there was danger, after all, Bai Yan found out about the plunder, and led the troops to destroy Han and Zhao, offending countless traitors.

However, now, seeing the young man's good news, Yingzheng's former worries have disappeared in an instant.

From leaving Xianyang and going straight to Yanmen, and then to the Huns going south, the side cavalry won a big victory, and Yanmen was in danger.

This may be the best answer!

"Yanmen's victory?"

When Princess Qi and Concubine Qi heard Ying Zheng's words, they looked at each other in surprise.

Didn't it mean that after the cavalry division went south, the Huns raided the Yunzhong Mountains, and the situation in Yanmen was already very dangerous? Why do you say that Yanmen is a big victory now?

"Ai Concubine, take a look!"

Ying Zheng looked at the unbelievable appearance of Princess Qi and Concubine Qi, and smiled, he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the content of the bamboo slip for the first time at first.

Who would have thought that in the case of dispatching iron cavalry to aid Yishui, Bai Yan not only led the border cavalry to defend Yanmen, but also hit the Xiongnu forces hard.

After seeing Princess Mi take the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng slowly got up, and after learning that the Yanmen crisis had been resolved, Ying Zheng's first reaction was not to write an edict, immediately go to chase Chang Wenjun, and take back the order of the three counties, but was keenly aware of one thing.

Inside the study.

Coming to the incomparably wide map, Ying Zheng stood next to the map, his eyes scanning the entire map in a daze.

Behind Bai Yan leading the border cavalry to kill more than 26,000 Huns, Ying Zheng saw not only that the crisis in Yanmen had been solved, but more importantly, Ying Zheng saw the situation in the entire north now.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhongshang County in the territory of Qin, where the Xiongnu fought a war, the Xiongnu and Bai Yan fought, and the Xiongnu tribe died tens of thousands of people.

subsequently

Ying Zheng looked at the Yunshan Pass north of Gaonu, where the Yue clan had besieged the defenders of the Xiongnu tribe, and the Xiongnu no less than tens of thousands of people died in the hands of the Yue clan.

This was followed by the continuous battle between the Xiongnu and the Yue clan, and now they fought with Bai Yan again in the clouds and were defeated.

Ying Zheng looked at the territory of the Yue Clan and the Xiongnu in the north, and then turned to look north of Yanmen.

"What! Bai Yan commanded the border cavalry and killed more than 26,000 Huns! ”

There were exclamations from Princess Qi and Concubine Qi behind him, and Ying Zheng did not look back, but looked at the eunuchs waiting outside the door of the study.

"Someone!"

Ying Zheng opened his mouth and shouted.

As the two eunuchs walked into the study, Princess Mi and Concubine Qi, who were not far away, had also finished reading the bamboo slips, and their eyes were full of shock.

Especially Princess Mi, although she knew that Bai Yan was very good at leading troops, she never thought that in such a dangerous situation in Yanmen, Bai Yan could still lead the border cavalry to defeat the Xiongnu, and even the leader of the Xiongnu tribe, Mandanyu, was still unknown to life and death after fighting with Bai Yan.

At this moment, Princess Mi looked at the study in front of her, and suddenly came to her mind, in this study at the beginning, she would silently follow Yingzheng every day, and walk back and forth on the bookshelf, the thin boy who seemed to be introverted by nature and harmless to humans and animals.

"Pass the widow's order, and immediately summon Li Si, Wei Yi, and Kui Zhi."

Ying Zheng's voice sounded.

Princess Mi came back from her thoughts, looking at Ying Zheng with a happy expression, Princess Mi accompanies Ying Zheng every day, where is not clear, I am afraid that this soup will not be drunk today, it is estimated that when Li Si and other ministers come, they will have to discuss until the evening.

After seeing the eunuch leave, Princess Mi stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, since General Bai has won a great victory, Yanmen does not need to rush to help!"

Princess Qi came to Yingzheng's side and reminded softly, after all, Chang Wenjun has left Xianyang for two days.

Ying Zheng nodded when he heard this, looked at the map, and now the details of where the Xiongnu are missing, Bai Yan's big victory, for the Qin State, is not just about the safety of a Yanmen.

However, Ying Zheng also knows that in the future, he must also figure out the Yueshi and the Xiongnu, and these must be arranged to be investigated in detail.

"The two concubines think that Bai Yan has won a big victory, what should the widow give?"

Ying Zheng suddenly remembered something, turned his head and looked at Princess Qi and Concubine Qi with a smile.

After the great joy, Ying Zheng naturally rewarded Bai Yan, after all, Bai Yan was down-to-earth and made great contributions to the Qin State.

"A thousand gold! Beauty acolyte! I heard that Bai Yan's mansion is being built, so the king might as well give another mansion! ”

Princess Mi thought about it and said softly.

Money, beauty, and mansions are all pleasant rewards, and no one in the world is exempt from vulgarity.

And as Princess Mi's words were finished.

Concubine Qi listened to Princess Mi's words, and Princess Mi had already said that the mansion of the beauty of money, she thought about it, looked at Yingzheng and said softly.

"The king, just now there is a saying in the bamboo silk, Bai Yan pierces his back with a sword, the Huns protect, and he escapes north with a negative sword, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead! Presumably, what General Bai is most likely lacking now may be a saber! ”

After Concubine Qi finished speaking, she looked at Ying Zheng.

And Concubine Qi's words also made Ying Zheng suddenly turn his head, look at Concubine Qi, and smile unexpectedly.

"Good!"

Ying Zheng replied with joy.

Compared with money and jewelry, the mansion of the beauty, and the words of Concubine Qi, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, the sword has high and low preciousness, since ancient times, the meaning of the sword is never only the sword body, but even its provenance, is very important.

And compared to rewarding money and beauties, not mentioning Bai Yan's achievements, that is, recalling the actions of Bai Yan who sacrificed his life to block him in front of him in the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng also likes it now, and is more inclined to give Bai Yan a sword.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng turned around and gave an order to the eunuchs outside.

Princess Qi looked at Concubine Qi with some surprise, and Concubine Qi smiled at Princess Qi.

Half an hour later.

In the study, one by one the eunuchs came to the study, and the two of them held a sword seat, and on the ancient branch wooden frame above the sword seat, they were respectively placed a delicate sword, with different lengths and appearances.

Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo silk, saw a sword that was treasured in the past, and slowly got up.

Walked around the wooden table and looked at the many swords in front of him.

The three swords of Xiaolian, Chengying, Hanguang, and others were once hidden by Wei Ren Zhou, and were later presented to Qin by Wei Junjiao.

Gongbu and Longyuan, these two swords are the swords cast by Ou Yezi and the cadres and apprentices for the King of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and they are the famous swords in the world.

Looking at the more than 20 swords in front of him, Ying Zheng was a little hesitant, not knowing which one was good.

As for the Tai'a sword hanging on the wall, it is not in Yingzheng's choice, Tai'a is the successor of the Qin king's sword held by the clan, and the successive Qin kings entrusted the ministers of the clan to assist the subordinate Qin king, Tai'a, and gradually became the Qin king's sword.

Thinking of giving a sword to Bai Yan, Ying Zheng was a little difficult.

"Concubine Ai thinks, among the many swords, which one is suitable for Bai Yan?"

Ying Zheng thought about it for a while, and felt that when this one was good, he felt that the other one was also good, and the meaning behind it was not ordinary.

Hesitating and hesitating, but in the end it is not a good choice.

In the study, seeing Ying Zheng's gaze, Princess Qi did not answer in a hurry, but turned her head to look at Concubine Qi and told Concubine Qi the opportunity first, after all, if it wasn't for Concubine Qi mentioning the sword, she wouldn't have noticed Bai Yan's loss of the sword.

Ying Zheng saw Princess Mi's eyes looking at Concubine Qi, so he also looked at Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi saw the eyes of Ying Zheng and Princess Mi, and then looked at the many swords in front of her, and finally hesitated, and her eyes were on a sword with a black body.

"Back to the king! The concubine thinks that Zhan Lu may be the first choice! ”

Concubine Qi said.

"Zhanlu?"

When Princess Qi heard Concubine Qi's words, she was full of surprise, and then her eyes also looked at the sword with a dark body among the many swords, she knew that Ying Zheng had said before that the sword was Li Mu's sword, and after Li Mu's death, Guo Kai ordered someone to send it to Xianyang.

Legend has it that the Zhan Lu was cast by Ou Yezi with his wife and daughter in the high mountains, clear and clear for Zhan, Yi people called the black Lu, a metaphor for a person's eyes, so it is rumored that the Zhan Lu sword can distinguish the good king, know the loyal ministers, the king has the way, the sword is on the side, the country is prosperous, the king has no way, the sword is abandoned, and the country is ruined.

There are too many legends on Zhanlu's swarthy sword.

The most famous, is that after the king of Yue got Zhan Lu, regarded as a national treasure, but the country of Yue was attacked by the state of Wu, the king of Yue Yunchang dedicated the sword of Zhan Lu to the king of Wu, and he Lu killed the king to seize the throne, Zhan Lu went to the hands of the king, who had always collected countless famous swords, saw Zhan Lu, loved it very much, and took it with him all day long, not leaving it.

According to legend, one day Zhan Lu left his side and went to the king of Chu, and the sword of Zhan Lu was spread all over the world.

However, in the end, it was King Wu Lu who was furious when he heard that the Zhan Lu sword was in the Chu State, and launched a war to recapture the sword from the Chu State.

In these hundreds of years, Zhan Lu has gone through a toss, heard that it is held by the Zhou royal family, and the famous Zhang Yi has also been held, but King Qin Wu succeeded to the throne, Zhang Yi returned to Wei at the end, Wei was afraid of Zhao Wu Anjun Li Mu, so he sent Zhan Lu to Zhao and handed it over to Li Mu, and Li Mu, who has always been stubborn, saw Zhan Lu after seeing Zhan Lu, he loved it very much, and it was difficult to refuse, and Zhan Lu became the sword of Zhao Wu Anjun Li Mu.

After Li Mu's death, Guo Kai sent him to Xianyang and sent him to Yingzheng.

"Zhan Lu!"

Ying Zheng heard Concubine Qi's words, and also looked at the sword Zhan Lu with some surprise, indeed, in terms of heritage, Zhan Lu was cast by Ou Yezi, and many legends are related to this sword, and because he wanted to recapture this sword, Wu Chu fought.

If Ying Zheng was still a little puzzled at the beginning, why did Concubine Qi say that this sword was the most suitable for Bai Yan, until she recalled the battle of Wu and Chu, she suddenly understood that because of this sword, the State of Chu and the State of Wu had fought, and because of this sword, it was called the Sword of Benevolence.

Thinking of Bai Yan, I thought of Concubine Qi's intentions.

"Color!"

Ying Zheng said with a smile, looking at Zhan Lu and nodded.

Zhan Lu, but it is a sword, when he saw Zhan Lu, he couldn't put it down, if it weren't for Tai'a for the Qin King Sword among the many swords, he would definitely choose Zhan Lu to wear.

Thinking of the previously famous Qin Prime Minister Zhang Yi, who had also held it, Ying Zheng was also relieved, after all, he didn't want Bai Yan to become the prime minister of Qin in the future.

"Come on, leave Zhan Lu, and put the rest of the swords back in their places!"

Ying Zheng ordered.

"No!"

"No!!"

The eunuchs, who had been waiting respectfully, nodded their heads one after another, and then carefully moved the sword seat again.

Han Yu and Princess Mi looked at the swarthy Zhan Lu who was motionless and placed in the study at the moment, and they couldn't see Ying Zheng's expectations for Bai Yan from the fact that Ying Zheng planned to give Zhan Lu to Bai Yan.

Inside the study.

As the sword was carried away by the eunuch, time passed slowly, and after learning that Li Si, Kui and other ministers had come to the palace, Concubine Qi and Princess Qi naturally did not dare to disturb Ying Zheng anymore, and the harem did not participate in politics, which was what Ying Zheng himself said.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!!"

Li Si, Kui Xiang, Wang Xuan, Wei Yi and others came to the study one after another.

However, standing in the empty study, standing next to the huge map, Li Si and the others not only saw Ying Zheng who was handling the bamboo silk behind the wooden table in the innermost part of the study, but also noticed that the single sword seat on the ground, on the sword base, was a swarthy but very exquisite sword.

"The whole body is dark, and the sword is like a human eye. Zhanlu! ”

Wei Yi guessed the saber first, and then looked at Li Si.

Li Si and Wang Juan and the others also nodded when they heard Wei Yu's words, and their cheeks showed a look of surprise, they had heard that Zhan Lu was in the Xianyang Palace, and they regretted that they had no chance to see the legendary famous sword, but they didn't expect that right now, they could finally see it with their own eyes.

"Disciple of Wen Ghost Valley, Qin Xiang Zhang Zi once owned this sword! It's a pity, alas."

On Li Si's old face, his eyes stared at the sword placed on the wooden table, and he couldn't take his eyes off it, and finally took a deep breath, as if he was a little sorry, but when he looked at Ying Zheng, there was a rare trace of longing in his eyes.

Wei Yi, Kui Xiang and others were not surprised to see Li Si's rarely revealing eyes.

Zhan Lu has many legends, not to mention the world-famous Qin Prime Minister Zhang Yi, who has held Zhan Lu.

Regardless of the power and merchants in the world, they all like to wear swords, and they are proud of matching swords, and among the swords that have been handed down to this day, even if they are princes and magnates, it is difficult to find a sword forged by the famous Ou Yezi himself.

Not to mention Li Si, how many famous and virtuous ministers in the world have dreamed of getting this sword all their lives.

"Excuse me!"

Ying Zheng saw that Li Si and the others had come to the study, put down the bamboo silk, slowly got up and walked around the wooden table, came to several ministers, looked at the map, and pointed to Yanmen.

"There is news from Yanmen just now!"

Ying Zheng said this, looking at the ministers beside him.

When Li Si, Wei Yi and others heard the news that it was Yanmen, they all looked at Ying Zheng with serious faces, but for some reason, Li Si and others suddenly found that when they mentioned Yanmen, Ying Zheng seemed to have a little smile.

What's going on?

In the puzzled eyes of Li Si and the others, Ying Zheng looked at everyone.

"The Huns have retreated, Bai Yan led the side cavalry, in the Yunzhong Mountains, killed more than 26,000 Huns, and its Hun leader Mandan was seriously injured and fled north, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead."

Ying Zheng said.

A sentence fell, in an instant.

Li Si, Wei Yi, Wang Juan and the others all raised their heads instantly, opened their eyes, and looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief.
