On the way to Juchao City, Bai Yan and Zhao Gao rode in the same carriage.

Zhao Gao enjoyed it very comfortably, and the two Yun women in their thirties behind him had been serving Zhao Gao, and along the way, Zhao Gao also looked at Bai Yan with small eyes.

In Zhao Gao's eyes, Bai Yan, who was not much older than him, was completely like an alternative, silent and quiet, with few words.

'Uninteresting scholar' is Zhao Gao's evaluation of Bai Yan after talking.

Juchao City is located in the south of Shouchun, is its nearest road to Jiujiang, Baiyue area, and on the map of Chu State, Juchao City to the south of a large area, are fertile land, and Shouchun north of the Huaishui after the Xia Cai, divided into east and west, located in the middle of Shouchun, is located in the mountain danger, there is enough to defend the mountain terrain.

In later generations, whether it is Xia Cai or Ju Nest, it will be summarized into one name: Huainan Land!

No matter in any dynasty, when people talk about fertile land, this place with fertile water and soil, mild climate and abundant rainfall is indispensable, and in every dynasty, this place will get the reputation of a granary.

I was on the road for several days in a row, and the road along the way was accompanied by rain all the time.

The spring ploughing has not yet completely passed, and you can clearly see along the way, there are people working in the fields, and the falling rain is like a thin veil in the sky, floating slowly with the breeze, swaying back and forth.

"It's almost time to live in the nest, do you plan to go by day, or at night?"

Zhao Gao watched Bai Yan gently open the cloth window, and kept looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window in a daze, and he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that this Tianfu seemed to envy that kind of life.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gao shook his head again and again, how could anyone envy such a life, how hard it was! Sunrise will go out to farm, sunset before going home to rest, there is not a lot of money in the year, even the wives he marries, are all poor women with yellowed skin, how can he be a stable and carefree child of the scholarly family, comfortable pleasures, have maids and servants, go wherever he wants, never worry about money, not to mention that as long as he gives his name, he will receive hospitality from others, that is, when he goes out, those cultivators must bow their heads and make way when they see it.

"Since it is to worship the Chu people, it is better to go at night!"

Bai Yan heard Zhao Gao's words, put down the curtain, thought about it, and said to Zhao Gao.

Different from all the vassal states of the Central Plains, the sacrifice of Chu is not like the sacrifice of the Central Plains, it is all sacrificed during the day, and the sacrifice of Chu is at night, the reason is that the legend in the world is that the Chu people finally got the recognition of the Zhou royal family, and they had to take Danyang as the fief of the Chu people, but because the country was weak and poor, there was nothing to sacrifice, so they went to the neighboring country to steal a cow, and feared being discovered, so they sacrificed at night, and the custom of sacrificing at night has been handed down in Chu State.

Bai Yan didn't know if this was true or not, after so much time had passed, who could know, after all, unlike others, Bai Yan knew that the Central Plains countries had always regarded the Chu State as a barbarian, arrogant and indifferent since the Yin Shang period, and it had always been the attitude of the Central Plains people towards the Chu people.

No one knows if the Chu State suffered a loss from no scholars at that time, so that the Central Plains scholars passed on the word of mouth and became a fact.

The totem believed by the Chu people is the phoenix, and the tiger seat phoenix drum is one of the most iconic phoenix drums in the Chu country.

"Okay, then when we wait in the nest city, I will arrange it and wait for my news."

Zhao Gao looked at Bai Yan and nodded.

Although Li Yuan was originally a Zhao person, but he has been in the Chu State for so long, he has already been regarded as half a Chu person, and Xiong Yu is not the bloodline of the King of Chu, this point is actually very clear in Zhaogao's heart, when everyone in the Chu King's Palace is blind, if Xiong still has the slightest blood problem, where will there be so many scholars to support, and even Xiong is at a disadvantage in the competition for the throne.

Now that they saw Jing Qi's madman slaughtering so many people, and most of the Xiang's family, the Huang family, and the civil and military officials in the court were all inclined to Jing Qi's side, the others were reluctant to stand up and refute Jing Qi's words, offending Jing Qi, who had become a leftist disciple.

But this does not mean that Xiong is still in their eyes, and it is really not the blood of King Chu as Jing Qi said.

"There is labor!"

Bai Yan nodded.

Half an hour later, as the drizzle gradually dissipated, the carriage in which Bai Yan and Zhao Gao were riding also slowly came to Juchao City.

With Zhao Gao here, the soldiers of Chu who guarded the city gate didn't even dare to look up and take a look, for fear of causing Zhao Gao to be dissatisfied, after all, the number of times Zhao Gao was in a bad mood before was several times more than the number of good times, and there was no shortage of doormen who were killed by Zhao Gao before.

Bai Yan was taken by Zhao Gao to a very beautiful mansion with an excellent geographical location, and Zhao Gao let Bai Yan live here and wait for him to hear from him, and then left directly.

"No wonder."

Bai Yan was in the mansion, looking at the scene and scale in front of him, thinking of Zhao Gao in Yuanyuan Tower, thinking of the extravagance of the children of the Chu people, and full of sighs, Zhao Gao is only one of the many heirs of Zhao Min, but it is like this, what Zhao Gao has, the officials who are the title of doctors in the Qin State, are difficult to compare.

In such an environment, how could the Chu clan be willing to lose all this, or if they wanted to live like the Qin people.

After following the servant to a room and settling down, Bai Yan waited patiently for news from Zhao Gao.

What Bai Yan didn't know was that since he entered Juchao City, someone had already been following, and then he saw him enter Zhaogao's mansion with his own eyes.

"Gentleman, in Zhaogao's mansion!"

Not long after, a man came to a restaurant and said to another man.

And the man who was called a gentleman was the Ban Ding that Bai Yan had seen.

"Is there any movement in the Master of Divine Rest?"

Ban Ding asked softly as he played with a wine lord.

"The teachers of Shen Xi are all in the city of Qisi!"

The man said.

Ban nodded his head, drank the wine from the wine, and pondered for a few breaths.

"Let all the six soldiers who sneaked into the city keep an eye on the city guard's mansion, and if there is a slight change, not a single one will be left!"

Ban Ding ordered.

When he learned that Bai Yan was going to come to Juchao City, Ban Ding was full of puzzlement, but no matter how much he was puzzled, Ban Ding would not let Bai Yan make any mistakes at this moment, and he had to protect Bai Yan from leaving Chu State safe and sound no matter what.

"No!"

When the man heard this, he turned and left.

"Why did you come to Nest City?"

Ban Ding frowned slightly, sighed, slowly walked to the window, and looked at the scenery of the nest city outside the window with a slight frown.

Twilight.

Zhao Gao still didn't let Bai Yan wait long, and after dinner, Zhao Gao's servant came to the mansion and left the city with Bai Yan again.

When Bai Yan came to the place where the king of Chu was buried with the sacrifices, the sky was already dark.

The two servants sent by Zhao Gao held torches, looked at the darkness around them, and came to the grave again, saying that they were not nervous.

Bai Yan asked the two of them to wait for the carriage first, and the two servants nodded again and again when they saw this.

"Now that the king of Chu is in charge, Xiong You's lineage has been killed except for the daughter who married far away, and none of the Li Yuan family has been spared, even his young grandson without exception, all of them are like this, feel pity! No heirs, no descendants, look at the Xiong Yingshu Palace, sing day and night"

Bai Yan was in front of the two graves, holding torches, and began to burn the offerings, and told the situation in detail about the current Shouchun in his mouth.

In the night, the firelight swayed slowly with the breeze, except for the faint firelight from the carriage in the distance, only Bai Yan had the light here.

And in the candlelight.

An unwilling roar finally turned into a feeble cry, which could not be heard by the horseman and the two servants in the distance.

However, the corners of Bai Yan's mouth rose more and more, and then he slowly raised his head and looked at the grave, a man in his fifties, and an old man in his seventies.

"You see the two of us?"

In the dark night, when Xiong Yu and Li Yuan, who had already been killed, saw Bai Yan's expression, they were full of disbelief, and asked cautiously.

Bai Yan got up slowly, showed a hint of a smile, and slowly raised his hand.

"I am the sky, the envoy sent to avenge the king of Chu!"

Bai Yan raised his hand and saluted the two.

It is not the first time that Bai Yan has fooled the souls full of resentment, whether it is the person who was killed in Linzi at the beginning, or Zou Xing, Tyranny Xiao, and Xu Chengling

Bai Yan had long been accustomed to dealing with these revenants with a deep hatred of blood.

They were all human beings in life, and now they only have grudges that are slowly dissipating.

"Emissary! Seriously"

Xiong You, who was in his fifties, and Li Yuan, who was in his seventies, were shocked when they saw that Bai Yan could really see them, at first they just guessed and couldn't believe it, but the words of the man in front of them directly confirmed this matter.

Glancing at each other, they didn't expect that after they died, someone would actually be able to see them.

And because they had never experienced these things, neither Xiong Yu nor Li Yuan had actually noticed that their name for Bai Yan had changed.

"The sky can see your grievances, so give me ears and eyes, whether you can take revenge, not to look at the sky, but also to see your ability, I can't wait for your hands!"

Bai Yan arched his hand and said, his face full of seriousness.

When Xiong Yu and Li Yuan heard this, they looked at the desolate places around them, thinking of their own death, thinking of the death of their clansmen, thinking that they had no descendants, and then thinking of Xiong Yingshu, Jing Qi, and those scholars who were in Shouchun City at the moment, enjoying themselves in peace, sitting on power and wealth, and their clansmen were safe and sound.

Xiong Yu and Li Yuan looked at the people in front of them at this moment, and the two of them were furious, and there was only one thought in their hearts.

No matter what the cost, let those people die together, they have no descendants, and those people, don't want to have !!

Come to think of it.

Xiong Yu and Li Yuan raised their hands one after another and saluted Bai Yan in return.

Next.

After the worship, Bai Yan prepared to return to Shouchun again.

This move, not to mention Ban Ding, who has been hiding in the shadows, is stunned, even Zhaogao, a child of the scholar clan, feels extremely unreal, these three hundred gold, so easy to earn?

It's too easy!

Under the gate of the nest city.

Zhao Gao sent Bai Yan out of the city all the way, and after learning that Bai Yan really went to sacrifice, Zhao Gao was a little weak-hearted, saying that he had to give Bai Yan the two concubines, and said that Bai Yan was not allowed to refuse.

"Gentleman!"

Bai Yan was saying goodbye to Zhao Gao, and suddenly saw the man who had been waiting outside the city gate according to the agreement, hurriedly walked over, and handed over a roll of bamboo slips to Bai Yan.

Seeing this, Bai Yan reached out and took the bamboo slip, opened it and looked at it, and when he saw the contents, Bai Yan's eyes gradually turned red.

thought of the old man who once protected himself again and again in the court.

After Bai Yan finished reading the bamboo slips, he raised his head and tried to suppress his tears, but he still shed a line of clear tears and slid down his cheeks.

Bai Yan calmed down for a long time before he eased up, and then turned to look at Zhao Gao.

"Gao Jun, the husband wants to leave the Chu State immediately, don't leave it at all!"

Bai Yan said to Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao looked at Bai Yan's appearance, and roughly guessed that he was afraid that Tian Fu in front of him must have learned something bad, and it was not very embarrassing to think of this trip, so Zhao Gao thought about it, and took out a token from his arms and handed it to Bai Yan.

"If you have this thing, you will definitely be able to leave Chu as soon as possible!"

After Zhao Gao handed it over to Bai Yan, when he saw Bai Yan taking it, he raised his hand and said seriously.

After guessing that Tian Fu in front of him was in a hurry to leave Chu State, Zhao Gao's original intention was to help Tian Fu if he could, after all, he could easily take three hundred gold from others, and Zhao Gao was a little embarrassed no matter how thick his skin was.

"Thank you!"

Bai Yan thought about it, did not refuse, and after saluting Zhao Gao gratefully, he did not take the carriage again, but rode on the horse with him and rushed in the direction of Shouchun.

This time, there happened to be a token of Zhaogao, so when Bai Yan passed through Shouchun City, he did not enter Shouchun City to stay again, so as to avoid his uncle from finding an excuse to arrange for him to leave.

Bai Yan didn't have time to tell his little uncle about the harvest of going to Juchao City, but Bai Yan believed that the next time he came to Chu State, he would already surprise his little uncle.

A few days later.

Juyang City.

One of the cities on the border of Qin and Chu, in the Chu State, with the city father and Xiangcheng, formed a defensive trend facing the north, and since ancient times, there have been heavy guards of the Chu State.

And under the crowded city gate, among the people who came in and out, the uncle carried a cloth package on his back, his face was weak, his lips were white and a little peeling, looking ahead, the uncle stood on tiptoe from time to time.

"Why are there so many people?"

"It's not that I heard that the King of Chu has sent envoys to the Qin State, presumably it won't be long before the Qin State will withdraw its troops, and many people want to return to their homeland to farm, after all, they can't live without farming!"

"I see! No wonder so many people want to enter the city, it turns out that they want to go back from Yangcheng! ”

There was a cacophony of chatter.

The uncle looked around, under the scorching sun, he felt a little dizzy in his head, but thinking of the inaction in the Chu State all along, the uncle finally decided that he wanted to find a way to go to the Qin State, and he had to go to Xianyang no matter what.

During this time, the daughter-in-law gave too little entanglement, and the uncle didn't eat a few meals and didn't buy enough to buy anything, which also made the uncle not eat a mouthful of food for two days, and there was no food in his stomach, and the uncle was already too weak to be weak.

"Let's go, let's go!"

The voice of the doorman came from behind him, and the uncle had already seen it, and honestly moved a few steps to the side, not daring to offend these doormen, for fear that he would not even be able to enter the city gate, and finally starved to death in the wild.

As long as you can enter the city, even if you beg, you won't starve to death!

Suddenly, the uncle didn't know if he hadn't eaten for too long, or if he was a little dizzy from the sun, causing hallucinations in his eyes, how he saw Yan'er's figure, and Yan'er was still leading a horse.

"Yan'er?"

Uncle was full of doubts, he didn't understand, why was Yan'er here?

"Yan'er!"

After a long time, when the uncle looked at it for a long time and made sure that he was not dazzled, he hurriedly widened his eyes, and after looking around, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, his painful expression was fleeting, and then he hurriedly stepped forward excitedly.
