Inside the city.

Bai Yan naturally didn't know the words of those women in the Tyrant Mansion, and after leaving the mansion at this moment, Bai Yan came to the place where he had made an appointment with his cronie Lou Feng.

"General!"

Lou Feng saw Bai Yan coming, and seeing that there was no one around, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand.

"What about the others?"

Bai Yan looked at Lou Feng and asked.

"General, please come with me!"

Lou Feng said to Bai Yan, and then took Bai Yan around, bypassed several alleys, until he came to a remote courtyard, knocked on the door, and after the gate was opened, he took Bai Yan in.

In the courtyard, there were more than a dozen men, sharpening their swords and practicing martial arts.

"General!"

"General!!"

When a man saw Bai Yan, he stopped what he was doing and saluted Bai Yan.

Bai Yan nodded, looking at the group of soldiers in disguise in front of him.

After deciding to come to Yangxi, the people brought by Bai Yan, except for some who escorted Tyrant Shu back to Yanmen, all the rest of the people followed him to Yangxi, and due to the large number of people, Bai Yan only took two people into the Tyrant Mansion together, and the rest were all hidden in the city.

"General, six more people have gone out to investigate the news!"

Lou Feng said to Bai Yan.

When Lou Feng was talking, he saw Bai Yan coming, and a soldier in disguise took out a plate of gold from the room, about forty or fifty yuan, which was the gold that Lou Feng went to Lu's shop to ask for according to Bai Yan's instructions.

"General, this is the money obtained!"

The soldier came to Bai Yan with the gold.

Bai Yan glanced at the gold, and did not choose to take it, but turned his head to look at Lou Feng.

"There are more than 300 of those people, and it is definitely not enough to fight for food and goodness in the tyrannical mansion alone! Lou Feng, in the past two days, you have taken people to take the money and take turns to investigate in the city to find out who was responsible for those people's food in the past! ”

Bai Yan said this, and then glanced at the soldiers in the courtyard.

"Before the autumn harvest, there should be nothing important, if you have the opportunity, you will take the soldiers to relax, and finally come out, you don't need to worry about money, enjoy yourself, and by the way, you can also inquire about the situation in the city to see if anything major has happened."

Bai Yan instructed.

"No! Rest assured, general! ”

Lou Feng raised his hand to receive the order and nodded slowly.

Seeing that the gold had been obtained, Bai Yan ordered some things, and after everything was clear, he turned around and left.

Inside the city.

Bai Yan walked on the street, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, his face was contemplative, the reason why he came to Yangxi was because Bai Yan suspected that the purpose of those scholars was probably Tian Xian, who was now serving as an envoy.

But at the moment it is just speculation, and no definite news has been received.

"General!"

While Bai Yan was thinking, two men came to Bai Yan's side together.

These two men are the two cronies that Bai Yan took into the Tyrant Mansion, after Bai Yan left the Tyrant Mansion, the two waited for a while, and then left the Tyrant Mansion together, as for the news of the Tyrant Mansion, the former servant of the Tyranny Yu will inform them.

Bai Yan watched the arrival of the two cronies, and before he could speak, there was a noise on the street in front of him.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!!"

Bai Yan followed the sound and saw many Qin officials, driving away pedestrians on the street.

Seeing this, Bai Yan also made way with his cronies on the side.

Then, under Bai Yan's gaze, a carriage slowly drove through the street in the distance, and what was surprising was that the carriage did not seem to be those carriages with excellent privacy, but a carriage with only shade and no shelter around.

As the carriage approached, Bai Yan clearly saw that the carriage was carrying a bewitching woman and a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old man.

The sound of the wheels of the carriage was transmitted, and the carriage passed in front of him, Bai Yan noticed that the people in Yang Yan seemed to be surprised, but Bai Yan was a little puzzled, why the man was not wearing an official uniform, not even a knight, let alone an important matter, but he could let so many Qin officials open the way on the street.

"The gentleman is going to take the beauty to hunt again!"

"But no, I heard that two days ago, outside the city, on the side of Xitou Mountain, the gentlemen of the Jun family and the Hao family hunted a deer, presumably the gentleman also heard the news, so he took the beauty and went to show his skills."

On the street, the people who had just given way whispered after seeing the carriage leave.

Bai Yan walked slowly with his cronies, listening to the discussions of the people around him.

Ailanthus!

When Bai Yan heard this surname, he suddenly remembered in his mind that he had once seen an official with the surname Zhu, Yingchen Chengshou, Lu'an!

In the past, he was ordered to lead the iron cavalry to escort Han Wang'an to Yingchen, and it was Yin'an who received him.

Could it be that the man has a relationship with Lu'an?

Bai Yan thought about it, walked to the front, and soon took two cronies to a restaurant, according to Fang Cai Lou Feng, the restaurant in front of him was the best restaurant in Yangqi City.

Bai Yan glanced at the restaurant in front of him, but he didn't hesitate and walked towards the door of the restaurant.

"Oh ~ guests, please!"

The two women standing outside the restaurant saw Bai Yan and the three of them, and when they saw that the three of them were holding swords at their waists, they stepped forward to greet them with a smile on their faces.

Bai Yan and the three of them were already surprised by this scene, and followed the woman into the restaurant.

"How many gentlemen? Do you want a private room? ”

The woman took Bai Yan into the restaurant, and asked with a smile as she walked.

Bai Yan glanced at the restaurant in front of him, and then under the woman's gaze, he raised his hand with a flat face and pointed to the wooden table in a corner of the first floor.

"Just sit at that table!"

Bai Yan said, and then took out three coins from his arms.

"Another jug of wine!"

Bai Yan said.

With Bai Yan's words, as well as the three coins in her hand, the woman's expression instantly appeared in a huge contrast, the smile on her face disappeared visibly, she glanced at Bai Yan and saw Xiao'er coming.

"Take the three of them there! That table! ”

The woman stretched out her hand and gently took the three coins in Bai Yan's hand, handed them to Xiao Er, pointed to the table in the corner and said, and immediately turned around and left without pausing, walking straight towards the door of the restaurant.

It's not to blame the woman, not only this restaurant, but also other restaurants, restaurants in other cities, in addition to the height of the floor, are also divided into private rooms, small rooms, prices are naturally different, and the cheapest in the restaurant, is the table on the first floor, generally these people sitting at the table, either no money, or poor, or extremely picky, in short, all a restaurant woman knows that sitting on the first floor is to drink a pot of cheapest wine, drink and leave, will not order a woman to accompany at all.

"Three guests, please!"

After Xiao Er took the three money, he didn't have the power of the woman, after all, as Xiao Er, he was already in charge of these chores on the first floor, and he was already used to it, like a private room, and it was not his turn to deliver wine at all.

"Thank you!"

Bai Yan nodded and arched his hand.

Seeing this, the other two cronies knew Bai Yan's identity, and they didn't care too much about the woman's appearance, and then under the leadership of Xiao Er, the two followed Bai Yan to a wooden table in the corner and sat down.

A moment later.

A jug of wine and a stack of dried beans were brought to the wooden table.

Bai Yan didn't mind the quality of the wine, and when he saw the wine coming up, he picked up the wine jug and poured wine into the wooden cup on the table.

Fortunately, seeing Bai Yan's eyes, the two of them settled down, but they still looked a little restless.

After all, in the eyes of the two, Bai Yan is a general.

How can there be a general who toasts their soldiers, they have never heard of it, let alone seen it.

"In the past, I was busy, and I rarely had the opportunity to drink like this, speaking of which, along the way, I have experienced life and death together, I haven't learned about your affairs, take this opportunity to talk to me, the people in my family, and some interesting things in my hometown, how about it?"

After Bai Yan poured the wine, he picked up the wooden cup with both hands and said with a smile.

When the two cronies saw Bai Yan toasting, they immediately hurriedly picked up the wine glass and returned the salute to Bai Yan.

These two cronies, one is called Nong and the other is Zhang Liang.

The next few hours.

Bai Yan patiently listened to the two of them in front of him, talking about the things at home, his wife and children, his mother, and interesting things in his hometown.

During this period, Bai Yan noticed that many Qin officials wearing official clothes came to this restaurant separately with some men.

Bai Yan silently remembered how many people there were in his heart.

As a few hours passed, from morning to sunset, during which the second child of the restaurant would come over every other hour, but fortunately, Bai Yan would refill a pot of wine appropriately at this time, which did not make Xiao Er embarrassed.

The sky outside the window is gradually getting darker, more and more people come to the restaurant, and the environment on the first floor is becoming more and more noisy.

The two cronies also paid attention to proportionality when they spoke, so as not to be noticed, but looking at the fact that after sitting for a day, Bai Yan was asking about the two of them, and they didn't mean to inquire about the news at all, the two looked at each other, their eyes full of puzzlement.

"Gentleman, please come in! Come in!! ”

Suddenly, in the noisy conversation, the enthusiastic voices of the two women came, which suddenly made the surrounding sounds a lot quieter, and many people followed the voice, and saw two women with a group of eight or nine men, coming to the restaurant.

"Gentleman, upstairs, please! There are excellent private rooms! ”

The woman enthusiastically led the way in front.

However, to the woman's surprise, the middle-aged man who was dressed appropriately for the leader suddenly saw something, stopped, and the other men in cloth clothes behind him also stopped when they saw this.

In the eyes of many men, the middle-aged man suddenly whispered something to the woman, and saw the woman walking towards the corner of the first floor.

"Uncle, who is that person?"

Behind the middle-aged man, a younger man asked curiously, wondering why he asked the woman to invite the man to the private room because of his father's violent decision.

"Those three are the ones my brother brought back yesterday!"

Suddenly sighed and explained.

As he spoke, he saw that the woman in the distance had already walked back, and the three of them got up one after another, stood at the wooden table and bowed, and did not follow the woman.

Seeing this, he nodded with satisfaction in his heart.

It's acquaintance!

Late at night.

In the mansion of the Tyrant Clan, Tyrant Yu looked at the letter in his hand, and when the servant told Bai Yan to return to the house, Tyrant Yu hurriedly asked the servant to invite Bai Yan over.

A moment later.

Bai Yan, who had just returned to the house, followed the servant to the study of Tyrant Yu.

"Tyrannical Adult!"

Bai Yan looked at Tyrant Yu and raised his hand to salute.

Under candlelight.

When Tyrant Yu saw Bai Yan, he also raised his hand to return the salute, waiting for the servant to leave.

"I heard you're going to the restaurant today?"

Storm Yu looked at Bai Yan and asked softly with a hint of wine on Bai Yan's body.

"Go and look at the situation in the city, compared with other places, the restaurant is not only well-informed, but also the easiest to see the relationship between the scholars and officials in a place."

Bai Yan nodded, after a day in the restaurant today, what he saw and heard finally became clear why Yingchuan was so chaotic.

In the past, Bai Yan knew about the Yingchuan Rebellion, but he never thought that it would be so chaotic, from the city captain to the ordinary officials, all of them were mixed with the people of the Shi clan.

Even in the restaurant, Bai Yan heard some people say that if he wants to become a Qin official now, he only needs to take refuge in the Shi clan and become the confidant of the Shi clan, and then those Shi clan will let the main officials in Yangqi City arrange positions.

When Bai Yan heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Bai Yan knew that behind this sentence, it meant that now in Yangqi City, almost half of the Qin officials were already members of the scholar clan, and even more than half.

This is the place of Yingchuan County!

It's not anywhere else.

Come to think of it.

Bai Yan looked at the storm in front of him, the storm Yu has been outside, and he rarely returns to Yangxi, I'm afraid that even the storm Yu doesn't know the situation of Yangyu now.

"That's true!"

When Storm Yu heard Bai Yan's words, he thought for a few breaths, nodded in agreement, and after speaking, Storm Yu took a roll of bamboo slips and handed it to Bai Yan.

"Today, there is news from the State of Chu that Xiong You, the king of Chu, has been killed! It was done by the doorman of the bear! ”

Tyrant Yu told Bai Yan about the killing of Xiong You, the king of Chu.

Since he promised Bai Yan, he no longer devoted himself to the restoration, but now that he has calmed down and looked at one thing after another, he knows how ridiculous the restoration is, and finally understands why Bai Yan said that it is better to let Gongzicheng spend this life in peace.

That's the new King of Chu!

Compared with Yingchuan, the territory is several times larger, and the Chu State, which is known as a million soldiers, Xiong is still the king of a country!

However, it is like this, it is only two months from the succession to the throne, Xiong You, who has just ascended to the throne of Chu, was killed by others, and now I think back to Shen Lao and Han Lao, in order to seek Xiong You's help, they did not hesitate to spend a huge price and connections to help Xiong You and Li Yuan compete for the throne in Chu State.

"Xiong Yu has been killed, I'm afraid it will affect the rebellion! And in two days, I may have to go to Chu State! ”

Storm Yu said to Bai Yan, his eyes were a little worried.

If the rebellion does not happen, then Tyrant Yu will not be able to go north with peace of mind, in the eyes of Tyrant Yu, he knows better than anyone that in the clan, not to mention his father, and Zhongdi and others are uncles, they will never let go of this opportunity, once he leaves, his father and they will definitely participate in the riot again in the future.

If there is a showdown, it is impossible, and if you want to tell your father and others the truth, you can only wait for the turmoil to end.

Speaking out now, although Bai Yan will not be in any danger, once the news spreads, it will inevitably frighten all the Shi clans at that time, and when the time comes, Mo said that all the Shi clans will be hidden, even where Xianyang is, they will not let go of their tyrannical clan, and even anger Bai Yan.

There are too many people in the clan, and they have different ideas, and at the moment, no one dares to guarantee whether there will be leaks.

"Indeed! Knowing that Xiong Yu was killed, all the rebellious clans in Yingchuan County will definitely be terrified! ”

Bai Yan frowned slightly after reading the bamboo slips, although Xianyang will definitely make a move, the matter of the Yingchuan turmoil is definitely a certainty, but the news of the death of the king of Chu reached Xianyang, and then Xianyang made a decision and ordered someone to send an order to Yingchuan, which will take time.

Before that, the Yingchuan Shi clan would definitely send people to the Chu State again.

"If you really go to the Chu State, I hope to find out the detailed plans of those scholars! I stayed in Yangzhen and looked at the Tyrant! ”

Bai Yan returned the bamboo slips to Tyrant Yu, and after thinking about it, Bai Yan still decided not to go to Chu State first, although Bai Yan also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go to Chu State to see his little uncle first, and also to see the little uncle he had never met, as well as the children of his little uncle, and see his little uncle's family.

But after all, it doesn't feel like it's the right time.

At this moment, he and Tyrant Yu must have someone staring at Yang, otherwise if there is a slight change, they can only watch and be powerless.

As for Tyrant Yu going to Chu State, Bai Yan is not worried.

Tyrant Yu's belonging to South Korea is not as high as he imagined, and what he really obsesses with in his heart is nothing more than wanting to restore the glory of his ancestors in the past.

is also because of the incognito of Tyrant Shu, for Tyrant Yu, among all the vassal states, only Qin can be selected.

So for Tyrant Yu to go to Chu State, Bai Yan was not worried.

"Good! If I really want to go to the Chu State, here in the tyrannical mansion, there will be labor! ”

Storm Yu took the bamboo slip and said softly.

No one knows about the life of his daughter Tyrant Shu now, so in such a situation, Tyrant Yu knows that no one will doubt him, Bai Yan wants to know how Shen Lao and the others will pull Qi Kingdom, he went to Chu State this time, but he has a chance to know.
