"Changping-kun, Changping-kun!"

In Yanmen Shanwu City, Bai Yan looked at the bamboo slips, couldn't help but smile, and the whole person was deeply relieved.

The bamboo slip was sent by Gouze, and it told the current situation of Yingchuan County in detail, and when he saw Yang Xiong's guess and Changping Jun's reaction, Bai Yan couldn't help but sigh, Changping Jun only cared about Xianyang, but he didn't know it, and invisibly, he had already done him a favor.

"You're going to tell the Zhang family about this?"

Zhao Qiu took the bamboo slip, and after reading it, he looked up at Bai Yan.

Zhao Qiu is one of the few people who knows Han Ling and Zhang's family, and the same is true, after reading the bamboo slips, Zhao Qiu naturally also thinks of Zhang's situation.

However, to Zhao Qiu's surprise, Bai Yan shook his head.

"Why do I have to say this?"

Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu's words and explained softly.

"In the past, when Changping Jun went to the Chu State, the Zhang family obviously had the opportunity to assassinate, but there was no action."

Bai Yan recalled the events of a few months ago, when King Chu You died of illness, and the Qin State was headed by Changping Jun, who went to mourn on behalf of the Qin State, and just before the King of Chu You, Changping Jun's son Mi Nuan was killed, and Bai Yan knew better than anyone that it was Zhang's hand.

However, just when he thought that the Zhang family learned that Changping Jun had gone south into Chu and would be ambushed and assassinated, the Zhang family had not moved, and now that he thought about it, he was afraid that someone must be secretly helping the Zhang family and sending the news to the Zhang family when the Zhang family was acting.

South Korea, which is in the land of the four wars, and the Zhang family is the fifth prime minister, can support the weak Han to survive among the countries, and the Zhang family's connections are really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

After being framed, there are still many forces willing to help.

In front of the wooden table.

After Zhao Qiu heard Bai Yan's words, he thought about it for a while and didn't say anything about the Zhang family.

Changping Jun's actions are ten million times better than any calculation by Bai Yan, not to mention that the Zhang family has already identified it as Changping Jun and killed Mi Nuan, that is, the Zhang family was not deceived by Bai Yan's methods, and now someone is saying to the Zhang family that it has nothing to do with Changping Jun, and no one in the Zhang family will believe it.

"So what do you do? During this time, Yanmen is fine, in other counties, the news of your captivity of 'dead soldiers' has spread all over the world, I am afraid that soon, it will spread all over the world! ”

Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan, and as he spoke, Zhao Qiu's beautiful eyes looked at Bai Yan, which were also full of complexity.

Now even she is a little confused, how to get along until now, she is in a trance, than Bai Yan herself, she still attaches importance to Bai Yan's reputation, if it was placed in the past, I wish Bai Yan was regarded as a mortal enemy by the world, and everyone would be punished.

This inadvertent change may be after learning Bai Yan's identity, or Bai Yan's promise, coupled with the affairs of the school, so that she already regards Bai Yan as the person she needs to rely on the most in the future, either Bai Yan will break her promise and kill her in the future, or watch her return to the country and become her general.

Possibly, both!!

In short, seeing that Bai Yan's reputation is constantly spreading by those who have a heart, and it is getting more and more stinky, Zhao Qiu is also a little anxious, if she returns to the country, she doesn't want Bai Yan to be a notorious person in the eyes of the world.

Zhao Ren was already hostile to the Bai family, and Bai Yan's actions were undoubtedly the best excuse for those scholars.

Fortunately, in the previous edict, it was voluntarily registered, so those scholars were not given a chance, and the scolding was even more severe and ugly.

"Isn't it just to scold me Bai Yan a few words, if you scold Bai Yan a few words to make those people happy, Bai Yan doesn't mind letting them scold a few words."

When Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu's words, he chuckled and shook his head.

The school didn't want to expose it, he couldn't wash away this infamy, and Bai Yan didn't take it to heart at all because of the malicious insults of those scholars, after all, this plan was to think that ten years later, the foundation of those scholars would be removed, compared to his current plan, the scholars' scolding of him could not be regarded as the same thing at all.

"It's snowing!"

"It's really snowing, it looks like it's going to be quite heavy!"

"Wow, I'm afraid this snow is the biggest snow last year"

Outside the wooden window.

In the aisle of the gazebo in the distance, several maids who were holding things suddenly started talking in surprise.

The sound reached the study and reached the ears of Bai Yan and Zhao Qiu, and they both looked out the window.

It's snowing!

Watching countless snowflakes fall slowly, this year's heavy snow, I didn't expect the first one to be so big, thinking back on the experience during this time, both of them had mixed feelings.

Zhao Qiu looked out the window at the young man in front of him, and looked at the young man's side face looking out of the window, it was another year.

Before the death of Zhao Guo, she never imagined that she would be here, let alone that she would live under the same roof as this young man, and even help this Qin general who led the troops to destroy Zhao again and again.

Right now, she didn't know how many more times she would experience such snow here, maybe this time, it could be the last.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Yan felt something, and when he turned around, he saw Zhao Qiu's distracted face, and asked softly.

"It's fine!"

Zhao Qiu shook his head and turned his head to look out the window.

"Where are you going?"

Zhao Qiu suddenly saw Bai Yan get up and asked.

Under Zhao Qiu's gaze, Bai Yan pointed to the snowflakes that kept falling outside the window.

"It's snowing, go check it out!"

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he asked Zhao Qiu if he wanted to be together, and after seeing Zhao Qiu, he shook his head and left the study alone.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and in less than half an hour, on the grass in the distance, a layer of snow is spread, Zhao Qiu, who was left alone in the study, roasted the charcoal stove brought by the maid, and quietly looked out the window.

"Huh?"

Faintly hearing movement, Zhao Qiu slowly got up and walked towards the door.

When I came to the door, I opened the door, and I saw a young man accompanying a woman in the snow-covered yard, and a big snowman was piled up in the white yard.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Qiu squinted slightly, couldn't help laughing, looking at the young man's side face, the vague smile, she was the first time to see the young man, so happy.

Looking at the young man with beautiful eyes, Zhao Qiu was a little surprised.

In fact, many times, she couldn't believe that such a seemingly inconspicuous young man was actually a garrison general who commanded tens of thousands of troops, with Bai's iron cavalry and tens of thousands of side riders, all following the young man without regrets.

"Don't!"

Suddenly, Zhao Qiu suddenly saw that after Bai Yan found her, he bent down and picked up a small snowball from the ground, as if he thought of something, Zhao Qiu's pupils shrank, but before he could speak, he saw a small snowball flying over.

As the little snowball fell on his body, Zhao Qiu bit his thin lip, his breathing became a little short, and his beautiful eyes looked at the smiling man in the courtyard with a little anger, looking at Bai Yan, who was just throwing the snowball, and holding back his smile at the moment, the next moment, Zhao Qiu came to the courtyard in two steps and picked up a small snowball from the ground with his slender hands.

At the gate of the general's mansion, a Qin official hurriedly walked over.

"On the orders of the county guard, come to see the county lieutenant!"

Qin said to a soldier with a sword in his hand, and then showed the token of the county guard.

After confirming that the soldier with the sword was correct, he glanced at the other two soldiers, saw that Qin Official's body was already wet with snowflakes, obviously there was really something very important, nodded, and led Qin Servant into the mansion.

Inside the yard.

With the laughter, the Storm Clan and Zhao Qiu gradually held the snowball, constantly confronting Bai Yan, and in the white garden, the beautiful scenery at this moment was even more beautiful because of the appearance of the Storm Clan and Zhao Qiu.

However, seeing two soldiers hurrying over with a Qin official, the Violent Clan and Zhao Qiu immediately stopped, stood in the courtyard, looking at the anxious appearance of the Qin official, not understanding what was going on.

Bai Yan was also a little puzzled.

"County Lieutenant, something is wrong, there is a homicide in the city! Several Yue's people were all killed, and the bodies of some men were also found nearby! The county warden asks the county lieutenant to come over! ”

Qin Yan came to Bai Yan and reported with his hands.

Bai Yan's face changed when he heard Qin Yan's words, and he looked at this Qin official with a solemn expression.

"Let's go!"

Bai Yan immediately realized that there was something wrong with Yang Jin, and someone did something to Yang Jin, but just as Bai Yan was about to leave, the Tyrant stopped Bai Yan.

"General, wait!"

Under Bai Yan's gaze, the Tyrant clan hurriedly walked towards the study, and when he came back, he held Zhan Lu in both hands.

"Be careful, the murderer is someone from Shanwu City!"

Zhao Qiu also whispered to Bai Yan at this time, a trace of worry flashed between his beautiful eyes, it must be the Yue Clan, who got the news from somewhere, knowing that the Qin State seemed to be preparing to support Yang Jin, so he hurriedly sent a killer to come.

This is not difficult to guess, after all, in the whole world, only the Yue clan wants to kill Yang Jin, and Yang Jin only threatens the new Yue clan king, except for the Yue clan, no one will spend so much effort to kill Yang Jin.

But the problem, since Yang Jin came to Yanmen Shanwu City, Bai Yan sent people to protect him secretly, and the city gate was strictly guarded, without the cooperation of the people in the city, it was impossible to know where Yang Jin and the others lived, let alone successfully kill Yang Jin.

"Hmm!"

Bai Yan nodded when he heard Zhao Qiu's words, and then looked at the Violent Clan holding Zhan Lu, looking at him with worried eyes.

"Don't worry!"

Bai Yan said softly.

After finishing speaking, he followed Qin Officials and walked towards the outside of the mansion with his cronies.

Half an hour later.

In an alley in Shanwu City, Bai Yan's carriage slowly stopped.

"General, all the soldiers guarding the vicinity have been killed!"

A soldier saw Bai Yan get out of the carriage and stepped forward to salute Bai Yanji.

In fact, there was no need for this soldier to speak, when Bai Yan walked out of the carriage, he saw corpses placed on the side of the alley.

Now.

Bai Yan listened to the words of the soldiers, came to these corpses, and looked at the corpses that were slowly covered by heavy snow, some were cut on their faces, some had a hideous wound on their necks with black and blood-red, and some of them, on the coarse cloth clothes, there were several wounds full of blood.

"Take them to the burial, go to the treasury, extract the money, send it to their families, and send a report on their family's situation to the house, and let me see it."

Bai Yan commanded softly.

"No!"

The soldiers beside Bai Yan, as well as other soldiers, heard Bai Yan's words and saluted one after another.

Standing in place for a while, Bai Yan was silent, silently looking at these corpses, and after a long time, he looked at Xiao Yuan on the side and walked slowly.

Heavy snow fell.

The soldiers who had just reported behind Bai Yan were instructed by Bai Yan to turn their heads to a soldier and ask him to pull a trailer over and take these soldiers to be buried.

"Use my Bai Yan's carriage!"

When the voice came, the soldiers at the head, as well as the other soldiers, all turned their heads and looked at the back of the person who walked to Xiaoyuan, quietly, and when the back disappeared at the wooden door of Xiaoyuan, one by one the soldiers came back to their senses, standing in the alley, letting the snowflakes fall on their shoulders.

All the soldiers raised their hands and bent down to salute the entrance of the small garden where there was no one.

Inside the garden.

Bai Yan had just entered the wooden gate of Xiaoyuan, and he saw Yang Lao, Mi Jing, and Gan Si with many Qin officials in the courtyard, obviously this murder had alarmed the Qin officials in the entire city, so there were so many Qin officials in the small garden.

"County Captain!"

"County Captain!!"

A famous Qin official heard the voice of the soldiers outside, and when he saw Bai Yan now, he raised his hand to salute and get out of the way.

"General!"

When Gan Si saw Bai Yan, he also hurriedly made a salute to make way for Bai Yan, and in front of Gan Si, there were several corpses of the Yue clan on the ground, and the appearance of the corpses was obviously the same as the soldiers outside the alley, all of whom had just died less than a day.

When Yang Duanhe and Mi Jing saw Bai Yan coming, they also looked at Bai Yan and saluted each other.

However, unlike Yang Lao, when Qi Jing saw Bai Yan at this moment, the gaze of his eyes was not very solemn because of the sudden occurrence of such a major murder, but instead flashed a faint look of watching the show, which was fleeting.

Bai Yan, Yang Lao, and even others didn't notice it.

"Elder Yang, what's the situation?"

Bai Yan looked at Elder Yang and asked softly.

Seeing Bai Yan's pale cheeks without the slightest expression, not to mention Yang Lao, it was Gan Si, they all clearly felt love, and at this moment, Bai Yan's eyes were full of violence.

"It has been preliminarily found out that the murderer should be the Yan family in the city, among the people who left Shanwu in the carriage today, there are many people who take the carriage, and the number of carriages is only the Yan family, at the moment Xiaoyuan has not found Yang Jin's body here, it should be captured, I am afraid that there are people in the Yan family who covet Yang Jin's beauty, so they did not kill him, but fled with Yang Jin from Shanwu."

When Yang Lao said this, he couldn't help but sigh and looked at the falling snowflakes.

"Although people have been sent to chase after me, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the footprints again!"

Yang Lao frowned, not long after the secret letter was sent from Xianyang, let them save Yang Jin's life and wait for the opportunity to send it to the Qiang tribe.

And right now, that's what happened.

Now not to mention that snow can cover up footprints well, even if there is no one outside the city to answer, it is difficult to say, after all, if the Yan family dares to do such a thing, they must have already thought of a way out.

"The county guard spares his life! The county guard spares his life! We don't dare anymore! The county guard spares his life! ”

"The county guard! I beg the county guard to be merciful and spare one of us! We will definitely repay the kindness of the county keeper by doing cattle and horses! ”

As Yang Lao's words fell, several Qin officials were escorted and came to Bai Yan.

Gan Si looked at these people.

"These people have all received the benefits of the Yan Clan!"

As soon as Gan Si's words fell, he saw those Qin officials shaking their heads with pale faces.

"County Lieutenant! Lieutenant! We have received the benefits of the Yan family, but it is not a few of us who let the Yan family go and escaped with the Yan family. ”

"County Lieutenant! It's really not us! We dare not participate in this matter, and we are also blinded, and we are only taken away today! That's why I didn't have a chance to inspect Yan's carriage! ”

A Qin official whose name was tied up explained tremblingly, his tone was full of whimpering fear, and his eyes looking at Bai Yan were full of pleading.

Bai Yan looked at these Qin officials in front of him, and then looked at the small gardens around him.

"The county guard! The county guard! Among the Yan clan, several corpses were indeed found! ”

Outside Xiaoyuan, several Qin officials hurriedly ran in, and then came to Yang Duanhe to report.

As the words of these Qin officials fell, all the Qin officials around looked at each other and shook their heads with sighs.

"Sure enough, it's the Yan Clan!"

"No wonder these Yue Clan's sharp blades also have blood, but they can't see the corpses! Sure enough, they were all taken away and hidden. ”

"Yes! I had a hunch that some of the murderers must have been injured or even killed, and I had told others about it! ”

Qin officials whispered, looking like they had a premonition, and after seeing this person nodding in belief, they said to the people on the other side, as if they wanted more people to know that when they first came to the scene of the murder, they had already judged a lot of things with experience, more than others guessed, and also noticed many details that everyone else hadn't noticed.

In the midst of a cacophony of discussions.

As the dust seemed to settle, the tranquility of the garden was replaced by more and more noise.

"General Bai, the Yan clan has fled from Shanwu, although there is heavy snow to cover, but I am afraid it will not be able to go far, Yang Lao has ordered someone to write to inform the people of other counties, and now I also ask General Bai to give an order to prevent the Yan clan from fleeing north to the Xiongnu or Dai Di as soon as possible."

Mi Jing looked around at this time, frowning, but didn't say anything, but came to Bai Yan's side and said to Bai Yan.

As the supervisor of the imperial history at this time, Mi Jing looked at Bai Yan, such a major murder occurred, and Xianyang had a secret order, but Yang Lao and Bai Yan did not complete what Xianyang ordered, and he had a great say in the imperial history.

After all, as long as he is willing, he can write this matter to Xianyang, and when the time comes, the imperial historian will tell him about this matter in the Xianyang court, what the specific situation is, but it is all judged by looking at his bamboo slips, you must know that Yang Lao and Bai Yan have been completely derelict in their duties in dealing with the matter of Yangjin.

But any normal person, at this juncture, would never dare to disobey his words as a prison historian, especially since Bai Yan has offended so many people, but there are many ministers in the court of the Qin State, who are looking for opportunities and admonishing Bai Yan.

"Indeed, it is imperative to block the road to the north and the pass to the land of Daidi first."

When Yang Lao heard Mi Jing's words, he glanced at Mi Jing, nodded slowly, and looked at Bai Yan and agreed.

Inside the garden.

Just when Elder Yang and Qi Jing thought that Bai Yan would nod and give an order, all the Qin officials, including Gan Si and the others, also thought so.

Bai Yan, who had been standing in place and had been looking at this courtyard, shook his head slightly, and spoke.

"Yang Jin must still be in the city!"
