In the mansion, Yang Duanhe, Mi Jing, and Gan Si stood quietly in the courtyard, and in normal times, if they didn't mention Gansi, even Mi Jing, they would definitely not be so quiet.

However, at this moment, looking at the pedestrians from Xianyang in front of them and the guards of the Xianyang Palace, everyone quieted down.

Because in front of Mi Jing, Gan Si and others, in addition to the pedestrians holding the edict, there are dozens of palace guards around, such a scale of palace guards, this is obviously not the treatment of pedestrians, even Yang Duanhe, who has been an official for many years, has never seen such a grand ceremony a few times.

What is even more surprising is that the guard center of those guards is not a pedestrian with an edict, but the wooden box in the distance.

A wooden box actually let the palace guards escort them all the way to Yanmen, and even when they entered the mansion, dozens of palace guards followed.

Come to think of it.

Not only Gan Si and Mi Jing were curious, but even Yang Duanhe looked puzzled.

What's in the box?

In confusion, with the movement in the corridor in the distance, Gan Si and the others turned their heads to look, and immediately saw Bai Yan's figure.

"Elder Yang, Brother Zi, Brother Gan!"

Bai Yan came to the courtyard, saw Yang Duanhe and others, and raised his hand to salute.

Yang Duanhe, Gan Si and others also returned the favor.

"General White!"

At this time, the 'pedestrians' with the edict also stepped forward to salute Bai Yan.

"I am Zhan Guan, Shu Di Zhan Clan, I heard that my friend Tai Jing was full of praise for General Bai, this time thanks to the king's edict, I was ordered to come to Yanmen, I was fortunate to see it, General Bai is worthy of his name!"

Zhan Guan introduced to Bai Yan, and in just one sentence, he not only introduced the origin and background clearly, but also revealed to Bai Yan that he was Tai Jing's friend.

"Lord Zhan praises falsely! When Brother Tai was drinking with Bai Yan in the past, he also mentioned that Zhan Da was a talented person who learned the ancients and read a wide range of books, and he was a handsome man among people~! When I saw it today, it was Bai Yan's luck! ”

Bai Yan raised his hand to salute Zhan Guan and said with a smile.

Zhan Guan showed his closeness to Bai Yan, Bai Yan naturally would not refuse, and also told Zhan Guan that when Zhan Guan was transferred from Shu to Xianyang, Tai Jing had mentioned it to him a long time ago.

Needless to say, it's all about that.

However, Zhan Guan's eyes lit up when he heard Bai Yan's words, and he smiled even more when he looked at Bai Yan, and his closeness was undisguised.

"I've worked hard all the way, Bai Yan set up a banquet today to entertain Lord Zhan, and I hope Lord Zhan won't dislike it!"

Bai Yan said to Zhan Guan.

In Bai Yan's eyes, Zhan Guan is now just a 'pedestrian', Tai Jing did not promote his previous position, he was subordinate to the pawn in the court, and there are many pedestrians in positions like Zhan Guan under the command of the pawn, but Bai Yan knows that there is an old saying that a person's life is divided into two stages, before half a hundred and after half a hundred.

The former looks at natural talent, the latter wants connections and qualifications, the former enters the body, and the latter survives.

Regardless of prosperity or troubled times, connections will always be the foundation of a person's and even the entire family's existence in the world.

No one dares to guarantee whether there will be a day in the future when Bai Yan needs Zhan Guan, or even whether one day, Zhan Guan will learn something, or he happens to have connections to help Bai Yan, these are not certain.

Inside the yard.

When Qi Jing saw this scene, she looked at Bai Yan and Zhan Guan talking happily, and her heart was full of worry.

Mi Jing is not stupid, it can be seen from this scene that not to mention the Bai family's connections, that is, Shan Baiyan's connections, have become more and more extensive, even Shu has been involved, Shu land, but the old people are the majority, and the relationship is intertwined.

"General Bai has a banquet, how can Zhan Guan refuse!"

Zhan Guan didn't notice Mi Jing's fleeting complicated look, at this moment, Zhan Guan's attention was on Bai Yan, hearing that Bai Yan was going to set up a banquet to entertain, Zhan Guan was happy, after all, since becoming a pedestrian, Zhan Guan was also the first time to leave Xianyang so far.

Far away, seeing Bai Yan, whose power and status were far higher than his own, not only did he not despise himself, but he was so close, and even held a banquet to entertain him, which made Zhan Guan not grateful.

Just as Bai Yan and Zhan Guan were chatting, Bai Yan noticed that under the corridor leading to the gate of the mansion in the distance, a general wearing Qin State clothes and armor walked over, and Bai Yan was a little surprised when he saw the appearance of the general.

"Lady Cui?"

Bai Yan didn't expect to see the guard Ling Cui Ping here in Shanwu City.

Looking at Cui Ping's appearance, it is obvious that the general who commanded the palace guards this time was Cui Ping.

"Cui Ping, meet General Bai!"

Cui Ping looked at Bai Yan who bowed his hand, raised a smile, came to Bai Yan, and raised his hand to return the salute.

Cui Ping and Bai Yan are no longer strangers, especially when they escorted Ying Zheng, halfway through, Bai Yan went to ask to see Ying Zheng, at that time Cui Ping kindly reminded him of Mrs. Zheng's affairs, and it was also that time Cui Ping inadvertently mentioned Yang Xian, Bai Yan knew that Yang Xian was also in the city.

Although Cui Ping didn't help anything, Bai Yan kept that intention in his heart.

"General Bai, please!"

After the ceremony, Cui Ping looked at Bai Yan, took a step back, and motioned for Bai Yan to step forward.

Zhan Guan saw that Cui Ping had already arranged things outside, and when he came to this courtyard, Zhan Guan naturally would not drag it out any longer.

Under the gaze of all the palace guards, servants, and maids in the courtyard, Zhan Guan looked at Bai Yan, nodded slightly at Bai Yan, and then opened the edict.

Seeing this, Bai Yan also knew that he wanted to read out the edict of King Qin, so after getting the official uniform of Qin on his body, he knelt on the ground and sat on the ground.

Not far away.

Yang Duanhe, Mi Jing, Gan Si and others also raised their hands to Zhan Guan and bowed their heads slightly.

"Wang Zhao, Bai Yan was meritorious in escorting before, and now in the Yunzhong Mountains, guarding Yanmen, attacking the Huns, beheading more than 26,000, giving the right title, 82 acres of each field, 600 households in the food town, 700 stones, a reward of 1,000 gold, and the name of the sword Zhanlu"

Inside the yard.

Zhan Guan's voice sounded slowly, and behind every sentence, it was Yingzheng's reward to Bai Yan.

However, just as Zhan Guan's voice reading the edict reached everyone's ears, without exception, everyone's eyes widened in fear, and a wave of horror was set off in their hearts.

From the left to the right, this is the position of the Zhengqing, only one step away from the creation of less and the rank of general.

Come to think of it.

All the servants and maids looked at Bai Yan, the young general sitting on the ground in the courtyard.

And unlike the servants and maids, Yang Duanhe, Mi Jing, Gan Si and others were more shocked than the title of the right man.

The king actually gave Zhan Lu to Bai Yan!!

Hearing the sound of Zhan Guan reading out the edict, he confirmed that he had heard it correctly, not to mention that Qi Jing raised his head in an instant and looked at Zhan Guan in the distance, it was Yang Duanhe and Gan Si, and it was difficult to calm the shock in his heart at this moment.

Yang Duanhe and Gan Si both knew that since ancient times, the famous sword Zhan Lu has long been more than just a saber, and the meaning behind it is far beyond the sword itself.

The Sword of Benevolence is the most famous name of Zhanlu, but with the generations of sword-bearers, there is another name derived from Zhanlu.

Virtuous ministers sword!

Ying Zheng is willing to give this sword to Bai Yan, and the trust and importance behind this are self-evident.

While thinking about it, under the gaze of Yang Duanhe, Mi Jing, Gan Si and others, several palace guard generals in the distance slowly opened a huge wooden box, and then took out pieces of neat silk cloth.

Zhan Lu !!

Seeing that the sword Mi Jing couldn't control his breathing at this time, the eager eyes were difficult to hide, and it seemed that the next moment, Mi Jing would immediately step forward and snatch the famous sword.

Yang Duanhe and Gansi, who were shocked on the side, didn't notice Mi Jing's appearance, at this moment, Mi Jing was already jealous and crazy in her heart, Mi Jing couldn't figure out, why did Yingzheng give Zhan Lu to Bai Yan!!

Is he worthy?

In terms of military exploits, Bai Yan is not to mention compared with his father, that is, General Wang Qian, General Mengwu, and General Li Yao, which is not higher than Bai Yan's military exploits. In terms of identity, Bai Yan is a child of the Bai family, and after Bai Qi, in terms of qualifications, Bai Yan is not worth mentioning.

Is Ying Zheng really blind? Stupid to such a point?

In the entire Qin State, in terms of identity, qualifications, and prestige, who else can be more worthy of this famous sword than his father, and it is no exaggeration to say that if there was no father and uncle, Ying Zheng would not have been able to sit on this throne.

Even if Yingzheng wants to send swords, he should also send other swords, and give Zhan Lu to his father!

Mi Jing didn't understand, why did he give Zhan Lu to Bai Yan, who was born in the Bai family?

In a trance.

Mi Jing thought that if his father got this famous sword, this famous sword would be passed on to him sooner or later in the future, and he would inherit this famous sword that had been quite famous for thousands of years, and even Zhang Yi had worn the sword.

If he can wear this famous sword, chat with friends, get together in restaurants, and feast in mansions, what a shame it is.

Scenes emerged in Mi Jing's mind, and Mi Jing could even see those friends and colleagues, full of envy, raising his hand to sigh at his perfect match with Zhan Lu.

"Bai Yan, King Xie !!"

When Mi Jing was obsessed with the picture in his mind, he came back to his senses when he heard Bai Yan's voice, and when he looked at Bai Yan, he saw that Bai Yan had already gotten up and received the edict with both hands.

looked at Bai Yan, and then looked at the famous sword quietly placed on the sword seat in the distance.

Mi Jing couldn't help but shake her head in a trance.

No!

How can Bai Yan match this famous sword!

Mi Jing's eyes were red, full of unwilling thoughts, but when she saw Wang Zhao in Bai Yan's hands, there was nothing she could do.

Mi Jing has never longed for anything so much since he was born, but at this time, looking at the famous sword on that sword pedestal, Mi Jing really wants to have that famous sword!

"Congratulations General!"

Zhan Guan said to Bai Yan, and then motioned for Bai Yan to take the sword.

"Congratulations to the general for getting Zhan Lu!"

Cui Ping on the side also looked at Bai Yan with joy, his eyes full of reverence.

Zhan Guan and Cui Ping's backgrounds can't be compared with Mi Jing at all, naturally for the famous general Zhan Lu, neither of them has a trace of distractions, they know their status, so now seeing that Bai Yan is about to have the famous sword Zhan Lu, both of them are happy for Bai Yan.

What followed was that I sincerely wanted to get close to Bai Yan, you know, how the king treats Bai Yan today, whether he is favored or not, a handful of Zhan Lu is worth a thousand words.

"Thank you!"

Bai Yan raised his hand to return the salute, but he was also a little stunned at the moment, and he had not completely calmed down the emotions in his heart.

When he came to the courtyard and saw many palace guards, Bai Yan realized that this reward was probably unusual, but he never expected that Yingzheng would actually reward Zhan Lu to him, not to mention that Zhan Lu has always been known as the head of the five world-famous swords in later generations, and even in this world, there are names that have been handed down from generation to generation.

When he was in Linzi, Qi State, when his teacher Yin Bei talked about this sword, his eyes revealed a sense of Xinyang.

Bai Yan couldn't describe the look in his mentor Yin Bei's eyes at that time, but the only thing he was sure of was that in his mentor's biggest regret, he personally said that as a sword master, he had never had the opportunity to see Zhan Lu with his own eyes, the only sword of benevolence in the world.

"General White!"

Cui Ping's voice made Bai Yan come back from his thoughts, looking at Cui Ping, Bai Yan nodded and raised his hand in gratitude.

When Cui Ping returned the salute, he glanced at Zhan Guan and was a little puzzled, for some reason, when they saw Bai Yan seeing Zhan Lu, their eyes were a little sad.

Isn't it time to be so excited and excited?

"Zhan Lu!"

In the courtyard, under the gaze of everyone, after Bai Yan returned the salute to Cui Ping, he slowly walked to the sword seat, looked at the famous sword in front of him, bent down slightly, put his hands lightly under the sword body, and then picked up Zhan Lu from the sword seat.

The regret of the former teacher, this moment is personally in his hands.

Looking at Zhan Lu, Bai Yan thought a lot in his heart, his master could take a look at it with his own eyes, and take a look at this famous sword that he had never been able to see with his own eyes.

In my mind, I thought of the mass grave outside Linzi City, not far from the river, and the tombs of many teachers, the tombs of the monuments of the teachers.

Qiang~!

Bai Yan held the scabbard in one hand and the hilt in the other, with a slight force, and as the blade was exposed, a light and pleasant voice sounded, which seemed to echo on the blade.

Looking at the blade of the famous sword in front of him, Bai Yan could see at a glance that whether it was sharp or delicate, Zhan Lu was even far superior to the original sword engraved with his name.

It's a pity that the saber pierced into Toumandanyu's body last time and was taken away by Toumandanyu.

"Teacher, when the disciple returns to Linzi one day, he will definitely take this sword to the tomb."

Bai Yan said in his heart, and then put the sword back into the scabbard again.

Looking at Zhan Lu in his hand, unlike those men who like to hide swords, Bai Yan, who has never had a habit of collecting swords, has to admit that just looking at Zhan Lu will make people like it, and he is no exception.

Although Zhan Lu is a sword, when he holds it in his hand, it makes people feel as if he is not just holding a sword.

"Zhanlu?"

Zhao Qiu, who had just returned to the boudoir with the Tyrant clan, heard Xi's words, suddenly got up and looked at Xi with a surprised expression.

"That's right, King Qin just gave Zhan Lu to the general!"

Xi looked at Zhao Qiu's appearance and said proudly, she had seen this with her own eyes from afar, and she could hear the voice of the Qin State official reading it clearly, and there would definitely be no mistake.

It's the famous sword Zhanlu!

"What!"

As soon as Xi Fang finished speaking, he saw Zhao Qiu get up and walk towards the outside of the study.

"Madame! This! ”

Seeing this scene, Xi was full of puzzlement, looked at his wife, and wondered what was going on, why did she react so much when she heard that the general had obtained Zhan Lu!

The Tyrant watched Zhao Qiu leave, shook his head at the stream, and signaled not to ask more.

In Wei Lao's study.

Zhao Qiu hurriedly came to the study, in front of Wei Lao.

"Old Wei, Ying Zheng has given Zhan Lu to Bai Yan!"

Zhao Qiu looked at Wei Lao and spoke, his beautiful eyes with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Hmmm! The old man also heard about it! ”

Wei Lao looked at the paper in his hand, glanced up at Zhao Qiu, and continued to look at the paper and said.

"Wei Lao didn't know what Zhan Lu meant? The more Yingzheng attaches importance to Yingzheng, the more difficult it will be for Bai Yan to leave the Qin State and Yingzheng in the future! ”

Zhao Qiu looked at Wei Lao's flat face and unwavering appearance, and he was angry and anxious in his heart.

"Oh, don't worry! According to the old man, since the boy promised you, you don't have to worry, besides."

Wei Lao was helpless by Zhao Qiu's appearance, put down the paper in his hand, and looked at Zhao Qiu angrily.

"Speaking of this, if you want to blame that Tian Ding! If it weren't for Tian Ding, how could there be so many things, and the old man couldn't wait to let Tian Ding see with his own eyes what he had done! ”

Wei Lao shook his head and said dissatisfiedly.

Wei Lao was not dissatisfied with Tian Ding for a day or two, Wei Lao used to like Tian Ding very much, and he also had a lot of praise in front of outsiders, but since he encountered Bai Yan's matter, Wei Lao's complaints about Tian Ding were not a day or two.

Looking at Zhao Qiu, whose beautiful eyes were full of worry and even a little red, Wei Lao also knew that it was no wonder that Zhao Qiu, after all, Bai Yan had promised Zhao Qiu before, so that Zhao Qiu could see hope, and the meaning behind Zhan Lu was undoubtedly directly Zhao Qiu, who had just calmed down, was once again uncontrollable and worried, worried that Bai Yan would regret it, and his heart would be soft and hesitant at a critical time.

"Don't worry! Things have already happened, don't think about it! ”

Wei Lao said, sighed, sighed, sighed that he was a lot older, and when he mentioned Tian Ding, he couldn't help but hold back the fire in his belly.

In the study, it gradually quieted.

When it comes to Tian Ding, Zhao Qiu and Wei Lao have resentment in their hearts at the moment.

If at the beginning, Zhao Qiu hadn't thought of Tian Ding's words, then at this moment, hearing Wei Lao's words, Zhao Qiu couldn't help but complain, she really wanted to see what Tian Ding would have if Tian Ding heard the news that Ying Zheng had rewarded Bai Yan Zhan Lu, if Tian Ding knew what had happened, and learned that the young man who Ying Zheng gave Zhan Lu to was the one he had personally driven out of Qi State, what kind of expression would it be.
