"Have you heard? In Linzi, Qi State, there was an old man riding a bull, and the old man hid a study, and it was rumored that he could go to the room to read the papers, and change the ancient and the modern! ”

"I've also heard that the news from you is not accurate, many of my old friends in Qi Country say that the old man is an immortal, and the bamboo slips in the room are all immortal books!"

"No, no, no, you all heard it wrong, what study, it is clearly said to be Xianshan!"

In the various restaurants in Shanwu City, countless children of the scholar clan, or merchants, were all talking in a whisper.

Shanwu City, which had been closed for more than a month, finally opened the city gate, and the people, scholars, and merchants who had been stuffy in the city were finally able to enter and exit freely, but no one expected that when they opened the city gate, they suddenly heard something from Qi State.

As for the truth and falsehood, no one knows, only that this matter is spreading in the Qi country.

At the gate of the city of goodness.

Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe wore Qin official uniforms and escorted Chang Wenjun all the way to the city gate.

"You don't have to send each other anymore!"

Chang Wenjun stopped, turned to Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe, and bowed his hand, signaling the two of them to stay.

Cai Si and Shao Meng followed closely beside Chang Wenjun.

"I'm going to bother Chang Wenjun to go this way!"

When Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe returned the salute, Bai Yan took the lead in saying, glancing at Mi Jing who was tied to the back of the carriage in the distance, Bai Yan naturally knew why Chang Wenjun was angry this time and why he wanted to severely punish Mi Jing.

It's all father's love!

"General Bai, there are many misunderstandings in this matter, if you need it in the future, you can write to me, I and my brother, I will definitely not resign!"

Chang Wenjun looked at Bai Yan and raised his hand to salute.

Yesterday's words were already very obvious, Bai Yan already suspected that it was an order from Yingchuan Changpingjun, thinking that Bai Yan had the face to say it directly, Chang Wenjun was also relieved, fortunately although Bai Yan was suspicious, but considering that it was Yue's Yangjin, he still took into account the face of him and his brother.

Moreover, what made him even more fortunate was that Bai Yan didn't know about the things that his brother had ordered to do before.

Thinking that King Chu You had died, and now that Xiong Chengshu had succeeded to the throne, he and his brother no longer needed to think about how to destroy the Bai clan.

Everything is in the past.

Now Bai Yan has been deeply favored by Yingzheng, holding two elite iron horses in his hands, on the contrary, he and his brother have been transferred out of Xianyang, and now thinking about how to deal with the Bai clan is completely worth the loss, and it is too risky.

"Farewell!"

After Chang Wenjun saluted Bai Yan, he saluted Yang Duanhe, and then turned to leave.

Li Xin came to Chang Wenjun's side at this time, and accompanied Chang Wenjun to get into the carriage, during which Chang Wenjun was also instructing his beloved disciple Li Xin to do some things, Bai Yan and Yang Lao clearly saw Li Xin nodding from time to time.

A moment later.

With the departure of Chang Wenjun, Li Xin came to Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe, and also said goodbye.

If it weren't for the matter of Mijing, Li Xin would still be in the Qin army camp outside Jicheng at this moment, discussing with the general Wang Qian, the deputy general Xin Sheng and others how to capture Jicheng.

"There seems to be some flaws in your relationship with Li Xin!"

After Yang Lao said goodbye to Li Xin, he looked at the back of Li Xin riding away with his cronies, and turned his head to look at Bai Yan.

Although Bai Yan and Li Xin still seem to have a very good relationship during this time, Yang Lao is a person who has lived for half his life, and he knows very well that Li Xin's eyes when he looks at Bai Yan are a little unnatural.

"But it's all a misunderstanding!"

Bai Yan heard Elder Yang's words and explained softly.

In fact, there is no need for Yang Lao to say that Bai Yan can also feel Li Xin's attitude, when he was escorting Yingzheng before, he had refuted Li Xin's request, although now Li Xin is really as he said at that time, when he attacked Yan again, he attacked Yan again, but Li Xin already had a little mind in his heart, how could he easily forget it.

After all, in the matter of Li Xin's attack on Yan State, he Bai Yan did not help, it was all Wang Shangnian and Li's advice, as well as Chang Wenjun's advice.

"Li Xin is a good person!"

Yang Lao smiled, and then looked at the back of Li Xin and his party in the distance.

"Still."

Yang Lao didn't say the rest of the words, but the worry in his eyes was very obvious.

Thinking of what Bai Yan had said, and seeing what Mi Jing had done with his own eyes, Yang Lao was not very worried about Chang Wenjun, and Yang Lao was more worried about Chang Pingjun.

When Bai Yan saw Yang Lao's appearance, he knew that Yang Lao was worried about Li Xin's future.

In the mansion.

Bai Yan returned to the mansion, and when he came to the study, he saw that Zhao Qiu was already sitting in the study.

"They've all left Zenna?"

Zhao Qiu saw Bai Yan coming back and asked softly.

Bai Yan nodded.

"Hmm!"

At this time, Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu with strange eyes, for a long time, Zhao Qiu had never given him a good face, why did he suddenly come to the study now.

"Zhang's place, is there any news?"

Zhao Qiu pretended not to see Bai Yan's strange eyes.

Although she claims to be well-informed, in terms of the news of Chu State and Yingchuan, Zhao Qiu knows that she may not be as good as Bai Yan.

Speaking of which, Zhao Qiu was also very puzzled, Yingchuan was easy to understand, after all, Bai Yan had been to Yingchuan, but what about Chu? Why is Bai Yan clear about many things in the Chu State, as well as the actions of the Zhang family, as far as she knows, Bai Yan has never been to the Chu State.

"There is no news of the Zhang family in Yanmen yet, I think the Zhang family should be preparing to do it outside of Yanmen County!"

Bai Yan said, kneeling at the wooden table, reaching out to the charcoal fire, feeling the warmth of the charcoal fire.

Zhao Qiu turned his head and looked at Bai Yan with his eyes.

"Have you heard from Qi Guo?"

Zhao Qiu spoke slowly, and did not mention the matter of the Zhang family again, as Mi Jing was taken away by Chang Wenjun, Zhao Qiu knew that no matter which side died, it would be a good thing for Bai Yan.

From handing over Mi Jing to Chang Wenjun in person, Bai Yan had already withdrawn from the whole thing.

Compared with the Zhang family, Zhao Qiu was more curious about the news that suddenly came from Qi State.

"What do you mean?"

Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu while holding the bamboo slips on the wooden table.

"Old man on bull riding!"

Zhao Qiu said, looking at Bai Yan with beautiful eyes, not letting go of any of Bai Yan's expressions, as if he was curious about whether Bai Yan's expression would change when he heard this.

"Yesterday, I heard Li Yun and Li Qi mention it, saying that there was an old man riding a bull in Qi State, and he wrote many bamboo slips in Tianfu!"

Bai Yan nodded, he learned about this matter from Li Yun and Li Qi yesterday.

Thinking of something, Bai Yan looked away from the bamboo slip and looked at Zhao Qiu, and sure enough, he found that Zhao Qiu's eyes like little foxes seemed to be looking at him with a very suspicious gaze.

"Whatever you say, say it!"

Bai Yan said, and then threw aside the bamboo slips in his hand, all of them were some bamboo slips sent to intercede for Mi Jing, this time he caught Mi Jing, Bai Yan didn't expect that in the end, so many people would intercede.

"Your relationship with Tian Feiyan, she never told you?"

Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan suspiciously.

To be honest, Zhao Qiu didn't believe that Bai Yan didn't know about this matter, although she hadn't seen Tian Feiyan with her own eyes, but she knew a lot about Tian Feiyan.

"Never mentioned any old bull riders!"

Bai Yan shook his head, glanced at Zhao Qiu, and explained.

Just at this time, Xu Shi walked in, Bai Yan didn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Qiu, got up and took off his official uniform, and put on the clothes brought by Xu Shi.

"Didn't mention ???"

When Zhao Qiu heard Bai Yan's words, he looked puzzled, looking at Bai Yan who was changing clothes, Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan's expression and eyes, and it seemed that he was not cheating.

Didn't you say it?

Just when Zhao Qiu was puzzled, he found that Bai Yan was dressed, so he asked Xu Shi to get the bamboo slips, and he returned to the wooden table, ready to study ink, and prepare to write the bamboo slips.

"You lied to me?"

Zhao Qiu said suddenly.

Bai Yan looked up at Zhao Qiu with a puzzled expression.

"If you haven't mentioned it, why don't you want to know the identity of the old man at all?"

Zhao Qiu keenly said Bai Yan's question, you must know that now with the news sent by Qi State, many people are rumored that the old man riding a bull has the ability to rule the world, Zhao Qiu knows that not only the King of Qi and the ministers of Qi State, but also countless Confucian scholars are looking for the old man, even Gongzijia and others in the future, they will also send people to find it.

Such a person.

But Bai Yan didn't seem to pay attention to it at all, and didn't even let her inquire about the news of Qi State, and didn't let her order Zhao Di's spies to look for it and see if they could find the old man.

"Just pay attention to it a little, if you are too obsessed, it will be transmitted to Xianyang, but it will not be good!"

When Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu's words, he seemed to notice that his behavior was a little suspicious, so he explained.

After listening to Bai Yan's words, Zhao Qiu thought that now Bai Yan is deeply popular in Yanmen, and there are elite iron horses under his command, if he deliberately investigates, it seems that it is indeed as Bai Yan said, but it is easy to be remembered by people with a heart, and secretly make a stumbling block in Xianyang.

"You really don't know?"

Although Zhao Qiu already believed Bai Yan's explanation, for the sake of losing face, he still repeated it stiffly, indicating that he was still skeptical.

"Miss Tian has never mentioned the old man riding a bull with Bai Yan!"

Bai Yan glanced at Zhao Qiu, said again, and after finishing speaking, he took the bamboo slips brought by Xu Shi, opened them, and prepared to write a roll of bamboo slips for people to send to the Yunzhong Mountain Range.

Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan's appearance of bowing his head and writing seriously in front of the wooden table, and he was already completely convinced that Bai Yan really didn't know.

But at the moment.

Zhao Qiu's mind was full of thoughts about the news of Qi Kingdom, who was that old man riding a bull? Why is it that even the King of Qi, Tian Ding, and even many Confucian scholars in the Qi Kingdom, and even heard that the corpse of the Wei State and others are looking for the old man riding the bull.

Beautiful eyes casually looked at the young man in front of her, she knew that compared to King Qi, Tian Ding, or Gongzi Jia, Guo Zong, and even those people in Wei State, what she was most worried about was which old bull rider Qin State would find in the end.

She finally got the promise of the young man in front of her, for the old bull rider who suddenly appeared and was rumored to be a god, for her, as long as she did not appear in the court of the Qin State, as long as she did not serve Yingzheng, she could accept it.

The coldest solar term of the year is January.

As the saying goes, the snow falls in December and the rain rains in January, this sentence describes that there is heavy snow in December, and it is impossible to go out, and the rain in January makes people dare not go out.

Among the solar terms of the year, only the rain in January is the most biting, and the rain falling on the body is more freezing than letting people reach out and touch the river water by the river.

"It's out of the Yanmen border!"

Shao Meng rode a war horse, came to the carriage, turned his head to the carriage and said.

As he felt the cold wind, the cold wind accompanied by a slight drizzle made Shao Meng's cheeks have become unconscious, and the hand holding the horse rope was still frozen and painful despite being wrapped in thick clothes, and even Shao Meng wondered if the clothes were already wet to be so cold, the kind that was cold to the bone.

Riding a war horse.

In front of the carriage, Cai Si heard Shao Meng's words, glanced at each other, and also held his hand, constantly sighing.

Compared with Shao Meng, Cai Si's feelings at this moment are not much better, and the only good thing may be that he doesn't have to lead the horse leash.

"When I get to Xianyang, I will go to the restaurant for a few days to have fun!"

Cai Si complained.

Thinking of being able to return to Xianyang earlier, thinking of his wives and concubines in Xianyang City, and those beauties in the restaurant, Cai Si felt better in his heart.

This time I came to Shanwu, but fortunately I was able to save Mi Jing, and Qin gave Bai Yan to Chang Wenjun face, and many things were not investigated, so I went deeper.

"Quick!"

Shao Meng turned his head, looked at the soldiers around the carriage and behind him, and shouted, wanting to arrive at the next city as soon as possible, drink a pot of wine earlier, and warm his body.

However, this time.

Suddenly, an arrow suddenly shot out, and then more and more, and in an instant, several soldiers were hit by arrows, and there were also several arrows inserted in the carriage, and a soldier next to Shao Meng was hit by an arrow and the war horse was even more neighing.

"There is an ambush, draw your sword!"

When Shao Meng saw this scene, he was taken aback, and hurriedly stretched out his waist sword and sword, looking at the masked men who suddenly appeared.

At this time, Cai Si also noticed that there were also many men in black in front and behind, holding swords to kill.

"Sure enough, there was an ambush!"

Cai Si scolded secretly, and hurriedly asked the horseman on the side to hold the horse rope.

A lieutenant on the other side of the carriage directly drew his sword and led the soldiers to fight towards those black-clothed men.

"Kill !!"

"Kill!!"

No less than thirty men in black were armed with swords, and all of them fought together with the soldiers of the Qin army escorting the carriage in an instant, although those men in black were ambushed, but in terms of numbers, the soldiers of the Qin army still had the advantage on their side, and there were two captains together with Shao Meng alone.

It is conceivable that the number of soldiers of the Qin State will definitely not be less than 100.

During the fighting, many Qin soldiers were slashed and fell to the ground, and the blood spread instantly, permeating the road, and some green leaves on both sides of the road were also splashed with blood in an instant.

And because of the number of Qin soldiers, the men in black are not much better, they are all very cold, under the disadvantage of numbers, the impact of the weather is more deadly for the men in black, in the spears of many Qin soldiers, the men in black also stabbed back in pain, spitting blood and falling to the ground.

"Kill!!"

Suddenly.

Just when all the men in black fell into disadvantage and the whole situation was about to be stabilized by the Qin army, in the wet dense forests on both sides of the road, more than a dozen men in black suddenly killed them, regardless of the fact that they were directly killed towards the carriage.

When Cai Si saw this scene, he also drew his saber and jumped out of the carriage.

At this time, Shao Meng jumped out of the carriage directly, leading the soldiers around the carriage to kill those black-clothed people.

The blades are staggered, Shao Meng, who is the captain of the Qin Military Academy, is obviously much better than some scholars in terms of force and strength, and Shao Meng's sword is also swung with all his strength, and the momentum is breathtaking, and after a few rounds of fighting, a man in black fell short of a slash, and was directly slashed in the face by Shao Meng's full swing.

Seeing this, the man in black in the back immediately killed Shao Meng.

However, after Shao Meng just fought, he found that compared to the man in black before, the man in black in front of him was obviously all fine, seeing this, after a block, Shao Meng's face was hideous, and he approached directly, and began to slash continuously, and after the man in black blocked again and again, he suddenly slashed.

Under the huge force, the sharp sword in the hand of the man in black was directly shocked and fell off after parrying, and the man in black looked at the fallen sword, only then did he look up and look ahead, his eyes widened, and he watched Shao Meng holding the sword and stabbing it into the abdomen.

"Hmm~!"

The black-clothed masked man snorted in pain, and looked at Shao Meng in a daze, as if he was still a little incredulous.

But then, the masked man slowly looked at the carriage.

At this time, Shao Meng also noticed that these men in black who raided the carriage were far more elite than those in front and behind, and soon there were two men in black, desperately injured, regardless of life or death.

However, at this moment, the curtain in the carriage was lifted by two masked men, and a sharp sword pierced directly into the abdomen of a masked man, and then three or four Qin soldiers suddenly took sharp swords and killed from the carriage.

"Hit the mark! Evacuate! ”

Seeing this scene, all the masked men were startled, and when they came back to their senses, one of the masked men shouted at the head.

As he spoke, the other masked men didn't care about the Qin State soldiers in front of them, and they all fled towards the secret orders on both sides.

Seeing this, Shao Meng turned his head and slowly drew his sword.

Without the support of a sharp sword, the masked man slowly fell to the ground, and Shao Meng squatted down and removed the cloth towel from his face.

"General!"

Two Qin soldiers came behind Shao Meng.

"Cut off this man's head! Order to send someone to report to the general! ”

Shao Meng got up and said, looking at the young man in front of him, Shao Meng thought back to Fang Cai's feelings, and he was keenly aware that this man must be one of the masterminds of this assassination.

"No!"

The two soldiers of the Qin State gave up the order, and then one of them stepped forward directly, drew his sword and cut off the head of this open-eyed and unwilling person one by one.
