In Bai Yan's mansion, in the pavilion, Xun Shuo, who had been away for several months, finally returned to Shanwu.

And Bai Yan did not break his original promise, and held a banquet in the mansion, in which the wine and delicacies were even more extravagant than Bai Yan had ever had.

In the main hall.

With the bright light emitted by many candles, the entire main hall was illuminated clearly, and the six dancing girls who had been kept in captivity in the main hall danced eye-catching dance music in the main hall.

In the past, the rest of the scholars gave Bai Yan's beauties, Bai Yan has found an opportunity to give them all to the generals under his command, after all, those women stay in the mansion, for Bai Yan, in addition to having face, it is more of a waste, it is better to reward the generals under his command, only these six dancing girls given by Ying Zheng, and the dozen or so beautiful women given by Ying Zheng, Bai Yan did not dare to reward the generals at will, so he stayed in the mansion, and he was handed over to the management of the Tyrant clan on weekdays.

And at this moment, it is clear how much difference there is between the woman sent by the scholar clan and the woman given by Yingzheng.

Zhuo Zicheng, who watched the women's dance music in Lu's Restaurant that day, looked straight at it, and never took his eyes off those dancing girls.

Zhuo Zicheng was like this, Fu Zhi and Tai Gao, as well as the other scholars in Shanwucheng, were even more unbearable, and they almost forgot to talk to others.

Until a moment later.

More than a dozen beauties came to the main hall with pots of good wine, walked to the wooden tables, and poured fine wine for the guests, which made those scholars come back to their senses, but seeing such a beauty beside them, all the men couldn't help but look straight, and their vanity was extremely satisfied at this moment.

You must know that this is in the county governor's mansion, the number of banquets in the county governor's mansion, no less than the number of words in one hand, they can not only come here to participate in the banquet, but also let the beauties of the county governor's mansion pour wine, which is enough to make people proud, and it shows their status in Yanmen, as well as the weight of the county lieutenant.

"Zixiao, this time Yanmen is fine, Zixiao should be the first achievement! Bai Yan is here, for all the soldiers and people of Yanmen, respect the filial piety of the son, if there is no filial piety of the son, how can we be today, Yanmen today! ”

After Bai Yan saw Master Xu beside him gently pour the wine, he couldn't wait to pick up the wine jue with both hands and toast to Xun Shuo.

At that time, Congshan Wu rushed to the Yue tribe, and let the changes in the Yue tribe happen so quickly, Bai Yan could imagine that Xun Shuo was at that time, and it was estimated that he didn't even rest, and he ran around day and night.

Inside the main hall.

With Bai Yan's words, not only Yang Lao, Gan Si and others, but also other scholars also looked at Xun Shuo at this time, and then picked up the wine lord together.

"Yes! Thanks to Zixiao this time! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! We should pay tribute to our sons and filial piety! ”

One by one, the men of the scholar clan looked at each other and discussed, and then looked at Xun Shuo.

Chen Ze and Fu Yao knelt behind the wooden table next to Xun Shuo, looking at the scene in front of them, listening to Bai Yan's words, they couldn't help but smack their lips, this Bai Yan really gave face to Zuzi's filial piety, not only feasting guests in the county guard's mansion, but also doing enough pomp, the first glass of wine was to pay tribute to Zixiao in front of everyone, not to mention words.

The two who could see Bai Yan's intentions glanced at each other, and they both sighed a little that Xun Shuo was really the right person, thinking back to that time, Xun Shuo was extremely depressed in Zhao State, and his life was almost lost during the period, and he was squeezed out everywhere in the Zhao State court, and then looked at now, Xun Shuo followed Bai Yan in the good aftermath, Bai Yan not only gave Xun Shuo enough rights and trust, but also gave Xun Shuo infinite respect.

After this banquet, don't talk about these scholars.

is the county guard Yang Duanhe, as well as in the border cavalry and iron cavalry battalions, Xun Shuo will have enough prestige and status because of Bai Yan's words.

"The general praises! Zixiao is well deserved! ”

Xun Shuo suddenly became the object of everyone's attention, and he didn't react for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly returned the salute to Bai Yan with a smile and a smile.

Holding the wine lord in both hands, looking at Bai Yan's smiling eyes, Xun Shuo naturally knew Bai Yan's kindness, don't look at the usual giggles, but at this moment, he really can't stand Bai Yan's praise.

Compared to him rushing to the Yue's day and night to persuade the Yue's Muyao tribe to rebel, Bai Yanna rushed back to Yanmen day and night based on judgment, and personally led people to the clouds to fight with the Huns.

"What a fallacy! Please! ”

Bai Yan didn't give Xun Shuo a chance to refuse, he toasted directly, and then drank all the wine in the wine jue.

After putting down the wine, seeing that everyone in the main hall was drinking wine, Bai Yan waited for Xun Shuo to finish drinking, and then asked Xun Shuo about some things about the Yue Clan.

Inside the main hall.

Except for Yang Duanhe, who was the county guard, the others, including Gan Si, didn't need to care about the situation of the Yue clan, so they didn't continue to echo anything, and they all communicated with each other, especially for Zhuo Zicheng, Chen Ze, Fuyao and other local scholars.

Take advantage of the opportunities at the moment, just a little more relationship, a little more connection, no one knows if it will be of great use in the future.

"Brother Chen Ze, Brother Fuyao, can you consider staying in Shanwu this time?"

Chen Ze and Fu Yao, when they were talking to other scholars and men, looked at those scholars and children, full of enjoying the service of those beauties beside them, and suddenly heard Bai Yan's words, and then heard his name, and quickly turned his head and looked at Bai Yan.

Seeing Bai Yan, he said to stay.

Chen Ze and Fu Yao glanced at each other, then nodded, and bowed their hands to Bai Yan respectively.

"Thank you for the general's kindness, the general has been retained a lot before, and the two of us are grateful, and we already have the intention of following the general in our hearts, and we have agreed to wait for the return of filial piety with Zixiao, so we will send a letter to the clan and inform the elders."

Chen Ze arched his hand, looked at Bai Yan and said, in the end, he sighed and shook his head.

"A letter has already been sent from the Ran clan, and Ziyao and I have decided to go back to Qi in person first!"

Chen Ze bowed his hand to Bai Yan apologetically, and because of his polite rejection of Bai Yan's intentions, the expression on Chen Ze's cheeks was very guilty.

Fu Yao also looked at Bai Yan apologetically, and slowly saluted with Chen Ze.

"If he comes back in the future, we will be cheeky and beg to stay under the general's door! Effective! ”

Fu Yao was worried that Bai Yan would be too disappointed, so he promised that the next time he came to Shanwucheng, the two of them would definitely not refuse Bai Yan's invitation again.

"I can't leave the two benevolent brothers this time, Bai Yan has regrets in his heart, but Bai Yan will keep this in mind, and in the future, I will wait for the two to come again!"

Bai Yan nodded, hearing that Chen Ze and Fu Yao were still leaving, and didn't say anything more.

However, the disappointed expression on Bai Yan's face and his words still moved Chen Ze and Fu Yao, and they saluted Bai Yan again.

After all, Bai Yan attaches so much importance to the two of them, not to mention that they are waiting for their return in the future, and they have no regrets about being able to get Bai Yan's words, as scholars.

"The two benevolent brothers have been here for a long time, and there must be little money left, so let the lady prepare a thick gold and hand it over to the two benevolent brothers tomorrow!"

Bai Yan turned his head and commanded at Master Xu.

"No!"

Xu Shi nodded at Bai Yan obediently.

Bai Yan's actions made Chen Ze and Fu Yao wave their hands again and again, but before they could speak, Xun Shuo suddenly spoke.

"Please prepare another general!"

Xun Shuo suddenly laughed a little embarrassedly and looked at Bai Yan.

Hearing Xun Shuo's words, not to mention Bai Yan, even Yang Duanhe, Gan Si and the others all looked at Xun Shuo with a puzzled expression, could it be that Xun Shuo, who had just returned to Shanwu City, was also leaving.

"During this period of time, I have heard many rumors about the Qi country, and Xun Shuo also wants to go back to the Qi country!"

After Xun Shuo saw everyone's eyes, he knew everyone's doubts, so he gave his hand to explain.

It was really spread too much, and when he didn't return to Yanmen, when he saw the county guard Feng Quji and the county lieutenant Hu Jin in Shangjun, Xun Shuo had already learned what had happened.

One or two may be suspicious, and ten hundred may be half-believed, but when all the forces send people to investigate, and even the vassal states of Chu, Wei, and Qin attach great importance to it, then it proves that the rumors are basically true, and the old man must exist.

"I see!"

When Elder Yang heard Xun Shuo's words, he nodded slowly.

Yang Lao naturally knows what the old man who rode the bull in the Qi country, but what the old man wrote, Yang Lao has no way of knowing, after all, in the Qi country, since the king of Qi saw the bamboo slips, he has all moved to the palace, and most of the scholars have never seen its contents.

Now they can't investigate even if they want to, maybe Xun Shuo, who was born in the Xun family, returns to Qi and uses enough resources and connections, and there may be a chance to see those bamboo slips and see if the rumors are true.

"You're going to find the old bull rider?"

Bai Yan looked at Xun Shuo with a strange look in his eyes, unlike Yang Lao, at this moment, seeing Xun Shuo return to Qi Country because of those rumors, Bai Yan couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.

What's even more helpless is that Bai Yan didn't dare to tell Xun Shuo the truth.

After all, the passages in those bamboo slips, the content revealed in them will definitely offend countless famous families, and even the military families of the Qin State, and at present, those people cannot be allowed to know the truth of the matter, let them know who wrote it.

It's not that Bai Yan doesn't believe Xun Shuo, but Bai Yan knows better than others that Xun Shuo's relationship with Chen Ze and Fu Yao, watching Chen Ze and Fu Yao leave Qi Country for thousands of miles and look for Xun Shuo alone, you can see how good their relationship is, and it is basically impossible to expect Xun Shuo to know that after knowing the matter, he will not hint at Chen Ze and Fu Yao.

Come to think of it.

Bai Yan finally decided not to say it first, just let Xun Shuo go back to Qi State, counting, Xun Shuo has been staying in Zhao Country for so many years since he traveled the world, and he has not gone back to see his clansmen for a long time.

As for the rumored matter, he will find a reason to make Xun Shuo return to good things in the future!

"I want to find it, if it's true, Zixiao will definitely do everything possible to let the old man come to Shanwu!"

Behind the wooden table, Xun Shuo, who was kneeling, saw that Bai Yan's eyes were a little strange, and thought that Bai Yan was also extremely eager to see the old man, so he looked at Bai Yan and explained with a smile.

At this moment, Xun Shuo's smiling cheeks were still very confident, just like always, and even after the words fell, he gave Bai Yan a 'reassuring' look, as if he wanted to tell Bai Yan that he would definitely not live up to Bai Yan's hopes.

"Don't hide it from General Bai and Yang Junshou, everyone here, the two of us are also because of the rumors!"

Before Bai Yan could speak, Chen Ze and Fu Yao also took the opportunity to explain at this time, arching their hands to Bai Yan, Yang Duanhe, and then looking at the others.

"The clansmen heard that the old gentleman has the knowledge of governing the world, and they specially wrote to him, hoping that the two of us can worship the old gentleman as a teacher! Learn its way of governing the world, and in the future, you can do a little bit for the world! ”

Fu Yao looked at Bai Yan.

Speaking of this, Fu Yao also had some pride in his heart, after all, with their husband's and Chen's connections in Qi Country, as long as the old gentleman was in Qi Country, they would definitely have a better chance of finding him than others.

When the two of them worship the old gentleman as their teacher, and after they finish their studies, are they still afraid that they will not be valued by the king?

Come to think of it.

Fu Yao's heart suddenly soared with pride, and his mind couldn't help but think of the rare talents who dominated the world in the past, such as Shang Ying, Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan, and Su Qin.

The eldest husband was born in the world, if he could be like those ancestors, leave a name for eternity, for future generations to admire, wouldn't it be happy! What a pity!

"It turned out that I went to worship that old gentleman as a teacher!"

"Hiss~! No wonder! ”

"Congratulations, in the future, Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen will join the famous teachers and will definitely become the world's great sages!"

"Yes! Congratulations, we would like to give you a glass! ”

In the main hall, as they heard the words of Fu Yao and Chen Ze, the other men of the scholar clan were shocked, and they naturally had a little understanding of the Fu clan and the Chen clan's clan connections, and they knew that things might not be impossible.

Chen Ze and Fu Yao's clan is originally a big clan of Qi State, they have connections and status, and they are worthy of their friendship, and now with those legends, thinking of Chen Ze and Fu Yao in front of them are likely to become the disciples of the old gentleman in the future, not to mention those scholars Men, that is, Gan Si, Tai Gao, and even Yang Lao, who is a county guard at the age of a handful, can't help but feel more close.

Everyone wants to make their relationship better.

How important is a famous teacher, just look at Li Si and Han Feizi, Han Feizi is okay, he is a Korean son, but Li Si is different, Li Si was originally just a small official in charge of documents in Chu State, but now he has become a famous minister of Qin in the world, and he is deeply respected and trusted by Yingzheng, because of his apprenticeship with Xunzi.

Immediately in the world, the reason why the rumored bull riding old man is so popular with the world has made countless scholars look around, and it has something to do with Li Si and Qin Guo.

Li Si's experience has made the world's admiration for famous teachers invisibly reach an unprecedented level.

Thinking about those disciples of the Guigu School, now they suddenly heard that there is an old man who may be more mysterious than the Guigu School, with a talent that has never appeared in the world, how can this keep the scholars from going crazy.

And under the oppression of the Qin State's iron cavalry, how could the other vassal states not hope that there would be a hidden master who could help them.

These are the reasons why the rumors have always been high, not low.

Late at night.

After the banquet, most of the people who came to the dinner were already drunk, and the most serious ones were Chen Ze and Fu Yao, both of whom were carrying out of the mansion by the servants of the mansion while vomiting.

"I heard about the Qi Kingdom before, and the old man was also very curious, and he had already ordered someone to send a letter to his brother to inquire."

Yang Duanhe and Bai Yan walked under the corridor, saying as they walked.

Bai Yan nodded, looked at the few maids holding candles in front of him, chatting with Yang Duanhe, sending Yang Duanhe out of the city, never thought that at this time, he suddenly saw a few soldiers coming in a hurry.

"General, Xianyang urgent order!"

The leader said to Bai Yan.

As soon as the words fell, among the several soldiers, one of the generals with a tired look stepped forward, picked up a piece of cloth in both hands, and handed it to Bai Yan.

"General Bai, I am Ding Tian, the palace guard, come by the king's order!"

A general named Ding Tian said.

Bai Yan and Yang Duanhe glanced at each other with some puzzlement when they heard that it was an urgent order sent by Xianyang.

"There is labor!"

Bai Yan said to the guard order, returned the salute, and then asked the soldier to quickly take people down to eat and rest.

Xianyang's secret order has a special method, no one can do anything on it, Bai Yan reached out and took the edict, then slowly opened it, and when he read the content inside, his expression was full of surprise, and then he became a little dignified.

"But what?"

Yang Duanhe looked at Bai Yan in some surprise, not knowing what the news was.

When Bai Yan heard Yang Lao's words, he did not hide Yang Lao, and directly handed over the edict to Yang Lao, and did not shy away from the gaze of the guard Ling Ding Tian.

Seeing this, Yang Lao knew that there was no need to avoid him in this urgent call, so he stretched out his hand to take the edict.

However, when he saw Bu Zhaonei, he asked Bai Yan to immediately set off and secretly go to Yingchuan in private, preparing to attack Chu with Wang Ben, his expression was the same as Bai Yan's appearance.

"This"

Yang Lao put away the edict, and then looked at Bai Yan.

Previously, when Wang Ben passed through Shanwucheng, he specially mentioned that he would lead the troops to attack the Chu State, but Yang Lao did not expect that Ying Zheng was actually ready to let Bai Yan also participate in this war, and it seemed that he was preparing to follow the example of the original battle of Changping Bai Qi, and let Bai Yan hide his whereabouts after he arrived at the border of Chu State.

"It seems that the king really wants to attack the state of Chu this time! This time, I'm afraid the king has high expectations! ”

After Yang Lao saw those soldiers leaving, he said to Bai Yan.

Yang Lao knew that if he tentatively attacked the Chu State as a deterrent, Wang Ben alone would be enough to let Bai Yan go, and also hide his whereabouts, Ying Zheng obviously wanted Bai Yan to see if there was a chance to completely destroy the Chu State.

At this time, Yang Lao was almost sure that if Bai Yan was really allowed to find an opportunity, I am afraid that Ying Zheng would definitely send a large army to aid Bai Yan at any cost for Bai Yan to destroy Chu.

"I'm afraid that the state of Chu is not so easy to destroy!"

Bai Yan shook his head.

Bai Yan originally thought that only Wang Ben was going to attack the Chu State, but he never thought that he would actually participate in the attack on the Chu State in this year.

Thinking of Changpingjun in Yingchuan, Bai Yan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he was a little worried about whether there would be any changes.

In history, it was the time between Meng Tian and Li Xin, and it was two years later, when the Wei State was destroyed, Li Xin attacked the Chu State, and the Changping Jun rebelled against Qin, but at the moment, Bai Yan was not sure.

Late at night.

After Bai Yan sent Yang Lao out of the mansion, he watched the servants and maids clean and clean up in the main hall, and then walked back to the backyard.

Feeling this quiet and carefree atmosphere, looking at this night, Bai Yan felt a little melancholy in his heart, and he didn't know how to say to the Tyrant Clan, as well as Zhao Qiu, after all, this time, whether it was a side ride or an iron ride, he would not take it.
