"Hehehe, Lord Zhao, please!"

"Sir, please!"

"Master Hu"

Under the banquet in the main hall, rows of neat and orderly, behind the wooden tables with spaced intervals, Qin officials drank wine, talked at the same time, or enjoyed the beautiful dancing queens swinging, dancing.

The exquisite music in his ears slowly echoed, and at this moment, whether it was Kui Zheng, Li Si, Wei Yi and other ministers of the Qin State, or those officials who talked to Li Si, or Tai Jing, Le Shang and others at the end of the line, they all looked at those dancing girls with enjoyment, and when they whispered and laughed with the officials next to them, they all had bright smiles on their faces.

The territory of Yan was once again integrated into the territory of Qin, and the territory of Qin expanded, and the strength of Qin became stronger and stronger, and the status of every Qin official in the main hall also rose.

At this time, in the hall where there was all talk and laughter, no one noticed that after Yingzheng on the hall finished reading the bamboo slips, his face was originally full of joy, but at the moment it was all gloomy.

"This time Yan Guopo, General Li Xin has made such a great contribution this time, and the future is immeasurable!"

"But no, the king's hearty laughter that day is still vivid in his mind, and the king bluntly said, 'General Li is strong and brave', presumably in the eyes of the king, Li Xinding will be a great general in the future."

"General, Li Xin's father, Li Yao is now the general, the county guard of Nanjun, Li Xin's grandfather Li Chong, is the county guard of Longxi, if Li Xin is the general, then in the Qin State, I am afraid it is the Wang family, and it is not as good as it!"

During the banquet, with the discussion of the surrounding ministers of the Qin State, listening to those words of envy and emotion, the most complicated in my heart was Bai Yu.

Qin Zhenyan, as an official of the Qin State, Bai Yu should be happy, but whenever he saw Chang Wenjun in the distance, when he thought that Li Xin was Chang Wenjun's disciple, Bai Yu couldn't be happy in his heart.

Li Xin is the commander of the Bai Iron Cavalry, before breaking through the Yan Army, and also led the Bai Iron Cavalry, chasing and killing the fleeing Yan King all the way, and finally forced the Yan King to kill Yan Dan and sacrifice Yan Dan's head, these are in Bai Yu's eyes, he doesn't mind, after all, now the Li family and the Bai family are friends.

But when he thought of the Bai family, thinking of Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun assassinating him behind his back, and before that, Li Xin not only went to Shanwu in person, but also took Li Yun and Li Yun to intercede together, Bai Yu held his breath in his heart.

Looking at the dancing girl in the main hall, Bai Yu reached out and picked up the wine lord on the wooden table and drank it alone.

Suddenly.

Bai Yu saw Ying Zheng's gaze looking at him, and he didn't react at first, but when he reacted, he saw Ying Zheng hand over the bamboo slip in his hand to Han Zheng, and after Han Zheng left, Ying Zheng looked at him again.

With doubts, Bai Yu felt a little strange after seeing that Ying Zheng's eyes did not look at him anymore.

But I can't say it.

Bai Yu frowned slightly, trying to think about what was wrong, and after a long time, Bai Yu suddenly understood and looked at Ying Zheng again.

It's eyes!

Ying Zheng's eyes were wrong, at this time, it was obviously a banquet to celebrate the defeat of Yan Kingdom, but Ying Zheng's gaze was obviously not a happy color.

What the hell is going on, isn't that what happened? But if there is something, why does Ying Zheng look at himself, it is Bai Yan!!

Bai Yu, who wanted to understand it, was inexplicably flustered, especially when he recalled Fang Cai Yingzheng's eyes, Bai Yu felt more and more wrong.

What happened to Bai Yan's kid?

At night.

After the banquet was over, all the officials of the Qin State walked towards the outside of the palace in groups after bidding farewell to Yingzheng.

Bai Yu got up and looked at the main hall, watching the other officials leave in front of him.

"What's the matter, why don't you leave?"

Hu Wujing, who was wearing the official uniform of the Qin State, was about to leave with several other officials, but suddenly saw Bai Yu still standing in place, so after saying goodbye to the other officials, he turned around and came to Bai Yu's side.

After Bai Yu heard Hu Wujing's voice, he was about to speak, when he happened to see a Han Yu in the distance walking slowly.

Under the gaze of Bai Yu and Hu Wujing, after Han Yu came over, he slowly saluted.

"General Bai, the king summoned General Bai to the apse!"

Han Yu said to Bai Yu.

When Bai Yu heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and the arrival of the Han confessor now was undoubtedly a complete confirmation of his previous conjecture.

"Zidu, you go back first!"

With a worried gaze, Bai Yu hurriedly instructed Hu Wujing, and then looked at Han Yu and motioned to lead the way.

Hu Wujing stood in place, looking at Bai Yu's hurried back, thinking of Bai Yu's worried look on his face, and between the silence, he also vaguely guessed that something might have happened.

Inside the apse of the Xianyang Palace.

Bai Yu followed Han Yu, and under the guidance of the maid, he came to the apse, and saw that Yingzheng was already waiting for him.

"Minister Baiyu, meet the king!"

When Bai Yu saw Yingzheng, he raised his hand to salute.

"No need to be polite!"

Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Bai Yu, and motioned to the eunuch on the side to take the bamboo slip to Bai Yu.

Seeing this, Bai Yu knew that the wooden plate held by the eunuch in his hands was the bamboo slip that Yingzheng looked at at at tonight's banquet.

With the worry in his heart, after Bai Yu saluted Yingzheng, he stretched out his hand to pick up the bamboo slip and opened it to look at it, but when he saw the first sentence in the bamboo slip, he completely froze in place.

Bai Yan in Yangxia!!

Isn't that kid in Yanmen County? With this thought, Bai Yu immediately thought that General Wang Ben was now under the order of Yingzheng to lead the army of Qin to attack Chu.

Look at the bamboo slips again.

After reading the contents of the bamboo slips, Bai Yu was completely scared into a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, someone must have betrayed the Qin State"

Bai Yu saw that Bai Yan was almost ambushed, and the anger in his heart almost made Bai Yu lose his mind, and in Bai Yu's heart, it was almost certain who sent Bai Yan's news to Chu State.

"Who?"

Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yu and asked.

"Yes"

Bai Yu almost instinctively wanted to say the names of Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun, but looking at Ying Zheng's gaze, when he was about to blurt out, Bai Yu calmed down, and Bai Yan's words suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Wei Chen doesn't know, how many people know about this, and who Bai Yan will tell about this!"

Bai Yu lowered his head, his desire for fairness, and his desire to be unhappy for Bai Yan made Bai Yu eager to say Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun, but after coming back to his senses, Bai Yu knew that Bai Yan's kid was right, they had no way to prove that Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun did it.

And even if there is evidence, will Ying Zheng really execute Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun?

Not to mention Yingzheng's temperament, not to mention the things that Changpingjun and Changwenjun did for the Qin State at the beginning, it can be seen from the matter of Mijing that those officials of the Chu family, as well as the people of the Ying clan, will not let Changpingjun and Changwenjun be executed, and the words of the Chu family plus the Ying clan are enough to affect Yingzheng's decision.

Inside the apse.

Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yu who was bowing his head, and looked outside the hall, and at this moment, Ying Zheng's eyes were also full of confusion.

At the moment of seeing the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng was not suspicious of the people who knew about these things, but whether it was Wei Yi, Kui Zheng, or Wang Juan, it was impossible, Meng Yi was a disciple of the Meng family, and the most likely Changping Jun had never participated in this matter, as for Chang Wenjun, Ying Zheng believed that it would not be him.

After Ying Zheng returned to Qin from Handan in Zhao State when he was young, he began to contact Chang Wenjun, and in the past 20 years, all kinds of things Chang Wenjun has done, not to mention that he is Ying Zheng, that is, all the officials of Qin State, are obvious to all.

Chang Wenjun's personality, all the ministers of the Qin State, all know the roots, Chang Wenjun will never betray his Yingzheng, let alone betray the Qin State.

And it didn't take long for Mi Jing's matter to be dealt with, whether it was Chang Wenjun or Chang Pingjun, in the eyes of Ying Zheng, it was impossible to harm Bai Yan at this time, after all, once Bai Yan made any mistakes, the two of them were the most suspicious at the moment.

"Bai Yan's death, who is it good for?"

Ying Zheng thought about it in his heart, and put himself in the position of Chang Wenjun and Chang Pingjun, one of them was a general, the other was the prime minister of Qin, Bai Yan's death was not beneficial to the two of them, Chang Pingjun not only could not return to Xianyang because of Bai Yan's death, but caused suspicion.

Behind this situation, apart from the state of Chu, who will benefit.

Are those officials who Bai Yan once offended? Or did Li Si want to take advantage of Bai Yan's death to make Changping Jun completely lose power?

"Bai Yan's whereabouts have been exposed."

Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Bai Yu.

"Tomorrow, you will be ordered by the widow to go to Lantian and order Sima Xing to immediately transfer the Iron Eagle Ruishi to Yangxia, find Bai Yan, and be dispatched by Bai Yan!"

Ying Zheng said.

Thinking of the head of Yan Dan now hanging in Xianyang City, Ying Zheng knew that it was Li Xin who led thousands of people to break through the army of Yan State, forcing King Yan to hand over the head of Yan Dan.

For this matter, Ying Zheng was naturally overjoyed in his heart, after all, only by making the vassal states afraid and not daring to move, could the Qin State break through and encroach one by one.

However, compared to Li Xin's attack on the Yan army and the first level of Yan Dan, in Ying Zheng's mind, he never forgot that if Bai Yan had not been in front of him in the main hall in the past, and even risked his life to block that thorn in the end, he Ying Zheng might not have survived to this day, let alone see the news of Qin State's attack on Jicheng with his own eyes, and see Yan Dan's head in the main hall.

Therefore, after learning that Bai Yan was in danger, Ying Zheng immediately decided to transfer the Iron Eagle Ruishi under Sima Xing to Yangxia and hand it over to Bai Yan.

Wang Benzheng led a large army to attack the border of Chu and Wei, and General Mengwu of Qianzhong County guarded and watched, before Wang Jian and Xin Sheng, Li Xin and others returned, Bai Yan still needed to be on the border of Qin and Chu, waiting for an opportunity, but also beware of the counterattack of Chu.

Inside the apse.

Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yu's back as he left after receiving the order, and turned his head to look at the moonlight outside.

Although it has not yet been found out who leaked the news, Yingzheng's mind remembers the appearance of the young man in the study during those days!

He Yingzheng believes in that young man!

Inside the city of Xianyang.

Bai Yu rode in a carriage and was rushing back to his mansion in the night, but before he could reach the mansion, Hu Wujing's subordinates suddenly came to find him in a hurry, saying that Hu Wujing wanted him to go to Hu Mansion immediately.

When Bai Yu followed Hu Wujing's subordinates and came to Hu's mansion, the entire mansion was lit by candlelight.

Walk through the yard.

Looking at the servants who were standing outside the door and in the courtyard with their heads bowed, in a low mood, and all of them were quiet, Bai Yu hurriedly walked towards the bedroom.

The Hu family and the Bai family are families, and Bai Yu is already very familiar with the Hu Mansion, so he doesn't need to lead it at all.

When Bai Yu came to the bedroom, as soon as he entered, he saw that in the room, old women and some young family members were inside.

When those family members saw Bai Yu, they all got out of the way.

I saw that my father Bai Zhong, as well as my brothers Bai Bo and Bai Yan were all inside.

Bai Yu hurriedly came to the couch, and after glancing at Hu Wujing, who was full of red eyes, he looked at Hu Lao on the couch in a daze, with a pale face and dying.

"Hu Lao!"

Bai Yu came to Hu Lao's side, knelt on the ground on both knees, and held Hu Lao's hand tightly with both hands beside his face.

Looking at Hu Lao's appearance at this moment, Bai Yu was full of panic, scared like a person who didn't know what to do, why did Hu Lao's complexion get worse and worse these days.

"What about the doctor? In some more time, Miss Xu will be able to rush back to Xianyang from Yanmen, just a few days! ”

Bai Yu looked at Hu Wujing, his tone was full of anxiety, he had already ordered someone to go to Yanmen day and night with letters.

Bai Zhong, Bai Bo and the others looked at this scene, their eyes were red and swollen, and they fell silent.

"Shuyu. Come. Finish! ”

Before Hu Wujing could answer, Bai Yu heard Hu Lao's weak voice.

Seeing this, Bai Yu hurriedly turned his head, looked at Hu Lao, and nodded.

"Shuyu is here, Shuyu is here!!"

As Bai Yu spoke, his mouth trembled more and more, and then he looked at Hu Lao's appearance, and tears instantly flowed down his eyes.

Thinking of when he was young, it was Hu Lao who taught him everywhere, he was young and vigorous, he made a lot of mistakes, and he always offended people in the court, but Hu Lao protected him everywhere and treated him as his own child.

"Shuyu is here!"

Bai Yu's weather-beaten cheeks slid tears at this moment, and he held the hand holding Hu Lao with both hands and put it on his face.

In Bai Yu's eyes, Hu Lao is like an umbrella, sheltering their juniors all the time.

"Zidu. said."

Hu Lao's wrinkled eyes looked full of exhaustion, and he was already struggling to speak.

Bai Yu's lips trembled, knowing that it must have been Hu Wujing who said what was in the main hall just now, and was heard by Hu Lao, so Hu Lao asked, Bai Yu hurriedly looked at Hu Lao.

"Old Hu, don't worry, don't worry, it's the king who is going to transfer Sima Xing's Iron Eagle Ruishi to Bai Yan's kid! Hu Lao, you don't have to worry! Hu Lao! ”

As Bai Yu spoke, looking at the illness like this, Hu Lao, who was still worried about their juniors, his hands were trembling, he slowly raised his head and closed his eyes, tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.

Thinking back to the scenes of contact with Hu Lao when I was a child, Hu Lao's smile, Hu Lao's words!

At this moment, Bai Yu gritted his gums.

Finally holding back tears, Bai Yu looked at Hu Lao.

"Hu Lao, Bai Yan's kid is going to be crowned in less than two years, Hu Lao will have to give that kid a crown, that kid has offended so many people at the beginning, Hu Lao, you are in the hall, and you give that kid a short protection every day, that kid hasn't given you a toast yet, Hu Lao."

Bai Yu said anxiously, at this moment Bai Yu has only one thought in his mind, wait, when Miss Xu arrives, Hu Lao's illness will definitely be cured.

However, Bai Yu's wish did not come true.

In this night.

The old Hu who supported the Bai family, the Hu family, and the Sima family in the court of the Qin State did not survive this night, and he didn't even have time to pick up a word for Bai Yan.

As Bai Zhong said, Hu Lao has always been suffering when he was young, and when he was old, he has always been sheltering his juniors, in addition to the children of merchants such as Bai Bo and Bai Yan, but also in the court, he sheltered and protected the juniors of Bai Yu, Hu Jin, Sima Xing, Sima Chang, and Hu Wujing.

It can be said that Hu Lao alone supports three families.

Maybe seeing Bai Yu, Hu Jin, Sima Xing, Sima Chang, and Hu Wujing have grown up in the court, and seeing people like Bai Yan in the younger generation, Hu Lao will feel at ease.

Early the next morning.

Hu Fu's crying did not stop all night, Bai Yu tied a white cloth, red and swollen eyes, and knelt for a night.

Bai Bo, Bai Yan, Bai Ji, and Hu Wujing all knelt in the main hall, crying and their eyes red.

Hu Jin is in Yuzhong in Shangjun, Sima Xing is in Lantian, and Sima Chang is in Wancheng, they will all come back to Xianyang and give Hu Lao a ride.

Bai Yu's eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were red and swollen after crying all night, and he could still clearly see the tears in his eyes.

"Hu Lao! Shu Yu went to deliver a letter to that kid, and then came back with Sima Xing! ”

Bai Yu slowly got up and walked towards the outside of the main hall.

Inside and outside the door, under the eaves, the entire courtyard was full of white silk, and all the maids and servants were dressed in white, and Bai Yu walked through it with red eyes.

Hu Lao did not see the unification of the world.
