Chapter 525: Mao Jiao's Arrival
The sun rises in the morning.
Linzi City, as a carriage slowly drove to the city gate, the Qi State Gate Guard, who was impatient because of getting up early, heard the sound of the carriage, turned his head, and saw a delicate carriage appear in front of him.
Before Qi Chu's doormen could react, when they saw the pictures and texts on the carriage, all the doormen's pupils shrank, and the whole person was shocked, and hurriedly gave way, not even daring to straighten up the posture of retreating.
Then watching the carriage go out of the city with several horsemen, not a single doorman dared to go up to stop the interrogation.
And inside the carriage.
With a slight sway, the atmosphere in the carriage was unusually quiet, except for the sound of ruts rolling outside, no one in the carriage spoke.
Tian Xian and Tian Feiyan sat quietly on their knees, looking at their father next to them from time to time, as well as their middle brother Tian Wei, who was anxious.
The two brothers and sisters were not surprised that the middle brother was coming, but the brother and sister couldn't believe that their father was going to visit that village too.
But thinking about it later, my father knew that Bai Yan was very important to the Qi State now, how could my father be rash in such a big event, not to mention that it was my father who drove Bai Yan out of the Qi State in the first place.
Therefore, for their father's request, the two brothers and sisters naturally will not refuse, and they can't refuse, even Tian Feiyan knows that her father doted on her very much in the past, but in important matters, her father definitely didn't say anything.
Unless she wants to scare her father alive or dead!
Half an hour later.
The carriage came along the path and came to an official road and stopped slowly, listening to the sound of the horseman outside, the three brothers and sisters hurriedly got out of the car, and with them, there was Tian Ding.
When he saw the narrow path in front of him, looking at the path leading to the mountains and rivers in the dense forest, Tian Ding was a little surprised, but he saw his beloved daughter walking from the path with Hu, and still took Tian Sui and Tian Xian, following behind.
The road is not easy to walk.
Especially for Tian Ding, who has not walked the trail for many years.
I don't know how long it took, but it wasn't until the scorching sun even reached the head that the group walked to this small village called Water Village.
Looking at the path under the shade of the green trees, the people who occasionally passed by, all went to a family in the village, there seemed to be some happy event, Tian Ding looked around, walked silently, until he followed Tian Feiyan's servants and walked a long way, and then followed the village path and came to a small garden.
Looking at the quiet Xiaoyuan, after confirming that this was Bai Yan's former residence, Tian Xian gently pushed the Xiaoyuan away, went to the Xiaoyuan, and looked around.
"But anyone?"
Tian Xian shouted softly.
However, in the quiet Xiao Yuan, no one responded to Tian Xian, and Tian Xian shouted a few more times, but still no one responded.
Tian Wei also walked into the small garden at this time, looking at the ordinary small garden surrounded by broken fences, looking at the messy wooden piles, and the wooden house in front of him that was not even a residence, Tian Wei was a little confused, this is where he has lived since he was a child?
Looking at everything around him, Tian Wei's mind came to mind yesterday's elder brother's words, it was his father who drove Bai Yan out of Qi Country in the first place!
This couldn't help but remind Tian Wei of what he looked like when he saw Bai Yan at the beginning......
Now looking at Bai Yan's former residence.
"Father, they shouldn't be at home!"
Tian Feiyan followed behind his father Tian Ding and said to his father who was looking around.
Tian Ding nodded when he heard this, and soon after, a servant came to Tian Feiyan with an old man in a cloth coat who was blind on half of his eyes.
After seeing the appearance of the blind man.
"Fei Ling!"
Tian Wei looked at his little sister with a stunned expression, and even Tian Ding turned his head and looked at his beloved daughter.
How could they not know the blind Fei Ling, but they didn't expect that Tian Feiyan would let Fei Ling stay in this water village.
"Fei Ling, meet the little master, meet Lord Tian!"
Fei Ling opened one eye, and after seeing Tian Ding, he saluted Tian Ding.
However, there is a detail here, Fei Ling saluted Tian Feiyan first, and then saluted Tian Ding, which also means that Tian Feiyan's status in Fei Ling's eyes is higher than Tian Ding.
"What about people?"
Tian Feiyan pretended not to see the eyes of his father and brother, and asked Fei Ling where his father's family had gone.
Later, Tian Feiyan learned from Fei Ling's mouth that it turned out that there was something in his grandfather's family early in the morning, so he asked his uncle to come over early to let Yan's father and his family come over.
After learning why Yan's father's family was not at home, Tian Feiyan turned his head to look at his father and signaled if he wanted to go to his grandfather's house.
"Go find a villager!"
Tian Ding turned his head and instructed a servant.
Tian Feiyan didn't know what was going on when he saw this, his father was obviously afraid that she would seek advantage and avoid harm, and was worried that she would have something to hide, Tian Feiyan had already guessed this, and looked aside with his mouth pursed.
A moment later.
Wait for the group to return to the shade of the tree at the entrance of the village.
Hu Cong also brought a village woman, the village woman saw the dress of Tian Ding and his party, and Hu Cong, where it was not clear that these people in front of them were either rich or expensive, and they were standing in front of Tian Ding with anxiety.
"Is there a man named Yan here?"
Tian Ding looked at the village woman in front of him.
When she heard Tian Ding ask about the kid Yan, the village woman secretly cursed in her heart that it must be someone that kid provoked, just like his brother.
The village woman scolded secretly in her heart, but in the face of Tian Ding's inquiry, the village woman naturally didn't dare to hide it, not only told what she knew, but also told the things from other people, and hurriedly dissociated herself from her as she spoke, as if she was worried that she would be angry with her because of Yan's matter.
As she spoke, the village woman was also thinking to herself, she would tell the rest of the village what she would say, fortunately she was clever, otherwise the boy would not know who to offend at that time, and whether it would harm them and the villagers.
The village women don't know.
Because of her words, whether it was Tian Ding, Tian Wei, or Tian Xian, they were all full of surprise and surprise, and then they looked stunned, as if they were wondering if they had heard it wrong.
Only Tian Feiyan, listening to the words of the village woman, when she thought of those scenes, her beautiful eyes were full of discomfort.
Looking at his father's slightly changing expression, Tian Feiyan suddenly noticed that a man in the distance was walking briskly.
·············
Under the scorching sun, white birds flew over in the distance, and on the big tree next to the village, some birds flew to stop on the treetops, but in the end they flew away again.
Mao Jiao wiped the sweat from his forehead, and when he came to the water village, he saw that under the big tree at the entrance of the village, Tian Ding and his party were really there.
Mao Jiao didn't have any worries and walked directly towards Tian Ding.
When he saw Tianfu's carriage on the official road, Mao Jiao knew that the news of his arrival would definitely come to Tian Ding before him.
In the shade of a tree.
Tian Ding watched Mao Jiao arrive, and his mind was still difficult to calm down because of the words of the village woman.
After the beautiful village woman in front of her took the money and left away, Tian Ding got up and watched Mao Jiao who came gradually come to him, and then raised his hands.
"Lord Mao!"
After Tian Dingli finished, he looked at Mao Jiao with complicated eyes, and once complained about Mao Jiao in his heart, but when he knew that he had driven Bai Yan away with his own hands and was not allowed to let him return to Qi State, what qualification did Tian Ding have to blame Mao Jiao again, and he didn't tell him about Bai Yan in Xianyang.
"Lord Tian!"
"Lord Tian!"
Mao Jiao returned the salute.
Looking at Tian Ding, who was no longer wearing the official uniform of the Qi State in the past, but wearing a silk robe, Mao Jiao learned from Yao Jia that Tian Fu seemed to be collecting the news of 'Zihuai', so he guessed what Tian Ding already knew, and today the eyeliner told him that Tian Ding left Linzi in a carriage, and Mao Jiao guessed that Tian Ding would come here.
After the ceremony, Mao Jiao, who put down his hand, stood at the entrance of the village, looked at the village in front of him, and sighed softly with some self-care.
"Lord Tian must have been surprised that the young man actually grew up in this village!"
Mao Jiao noticed the distracted appearance of Tian Ding's two sons, Tian Wei and Tian Xian, and did not feel strange.
"When Mao Jiao was ordered by King Qin to come here for the first time, how emotional......"
Mao Jiao looked sideways at Tian Ding: "Lord Tian can dare to believe that in Shangjun of Qin State, in Gaonu City, regardless of the criticism of others, regardless of the complaints of the people, in the midst of all the people's complaints, the person who ordered the people of Gaonu City to leave Gaonu City, and finally let the people of Gaonu City survive was actually Bai Yan!" ”
After Mao Jiao finished speaking, even after three years, Mao Jiao still remembers the scene of coming to this village for the first time, and Mao Jiao is still moved by his heartfelt emotion.
Mao Jiao never forgot the words that those women said in front of him three years ago.
"The old gentleman also heard about Nayan? Then I'll talk to the old gentleman, speaking of that family, it's pitiful, the original family of three was good, I never wanted to give birth to a second son, that is the Yan boy, that kid has been weak since he was a child, and his brain is sick, as long as the people in our village know that Yan, and there will be no interest at all in the future."
"Old man, you don't know, fortunately you didn't meet Na Yan's grandmother, the old woman heard that she was sick and went to Linzi!"
"Otherwise, the old woman's eyes are dizzy, and she can't hear people talk about her grandson, and she shouts all day long, there will definitely be a Ming monarch and a wise king who will recognize her grandson and give her grandson Fengqing, whether it is an adult or a child to theorize, she will be driven away by the old woman with a broom."
"Yes, yes, I really thought that there would be a king in the world, and I appreciated her grandson, which is really ridiculous! Hahahaha. ”
"That is, a person who buries a corpse, although he has some money, can only be a living ...... to bury corpses and bury corpses after all."
The words of those women in the past came to Mao Jiao's mind word by word, and Mao Jiao could imagine what the young boy was facing in this village from childhood to adulthood.
At this time, Mao Jiao also noticed that in the distant village, there was a family with a happy event, which couldn't help but remind Mao Jiao that on the way here, he heard the villagers of other villages chatting on the road, and said that there was a young man in Shui Village who was an official's doorman in Linzi.
Those few people were all sighing with envy and said that the young man in Shuicun would be able to follow the officials in the future.
"Lord Mao!"
Tian Ding was quiet for a moment, listening to Mao Jiao's words, and naturally understood what Mao Jiao meant.
Fang Cai, even Tian Ding, who had seen countless worlds, was a little hard to believe when he heard those words from the village woman, the young man in the woman's mouth was really the Bai Yan he saw in Luoyin.
It was in Shangjun Gaonu, the man who saved the people of a city.
Thinking of the beginning, Bai Yan was still in Yanhe and Yanmen, writing to Yingzheng and asking for food for the people of Zhao State!
Compare Bai Yan's experience from childhood to adulthood......
"Tian Ding! It's too late to regret it! ”
Tian Ding's eyes were full of complexity, and after a long time, he shook his head deeply and sighed, saying that it was false that he did not regret it.
The more he understands Bai Yan, the more Tian Ding regrets it, a person's talent will make people valued, but a person's conduct is the most impressive.
Especially after seeing the intrigue in the court, seeing countless people in the world climbing to power, and seeing too many dirty things, Tian Ding knows better than anyone what kind of virtuous and talented minister King Qi needs.
It's a pity that in his eyes, how could a kid who collected corpses get close to the only beloved daughter he and his deceased wife.
"This time, Tian Ding will go to see Bai Yan in person."
Tian Ding said with a melancholy expression.
It just so happened that the soldiers and horses of the second son Tian Wei were also on the border of Qi State, and Tian Ding was not worried about anything, in Tian Ding's eyes, since he was the one who drove Bai Yan out of Qi State, now he naturally wanted to see Bai Yan in person.
However, when he thought of it, Fei Ling said that Bai Yan's brother's leg was actually broken by Tian Jiao's order, Tian Ding was a little worried.
Fortunately, the beloved daughter Feiyan has never told Bai Yan about this matter.
At present, we can only wait for Bai Yan to leave the Qin State and return to the Qi State, and then find a way to calm Bai Yan's anger, before that, Bai Yan must not know about this matter.
Therefore, he must not let his biological parents know about Bai Yan at this time.
"Lord Tian wants to go in person?"
Mao Jiao was a little surprised, but he also realized that Tian Ding was really determined to try his best to win Bai Yan back to Qi this time.
But after thinking about it, Mao Jiao shook his head again.
"I'm afraid Lord Tian will return in vain!"
Mao Jiao persuaded.
Mao Jiao's body, Ying Zheng is so fond of Bai Yan, with Bai Yan's heart, it is definitely not so easy to win Bai Yan back to Qi State.
"It's man-made!"
Tian Ding replied.
In the shade of a tree.
Tian Wei and Tian Xian both knew that Mao Jiao was from Qi, and when they heard their father talking to Mao Jiao, they all listened quietly.
When they heard that their father was going to see Bai Yan in person, the two brothers were not surprised, and they were not too worried about their father's safety, for Bai Yan, not to mention Tian Xian, who had been saved by Bai Yan, even Tian Wei, he couldn't say anything at the moment.
Compared with Bai Yan's pit on him in Zhongmu City, it seems that at the beginning, Bai Yan was not the Zhongmu City that relied on him Tian Wei to go, and later Bai Yan not only let him go in private, but even his best friend Chen Xu was able to leave because of him, and now he clearly knows that it was his father who drove Bai Yan out of Qi four years ago......
No matter how you calculate it, it's all his Tian Wei's fault!
Especially when I came here today and heard those women talk about Bai Yan.
"My lord! My lord!!! ”
After a while, a Hu Cong from a distance hurriedly ran to Tian Ding, and then handed a roll of bamboo slips to Tian Ding.
Under the gaze of Tian Wei, Tian Xian, Tian Feiyan, and Mao Jiao, after Tian Ding opened the bamboo slip, he looked at the news inside, and then frowned.
"Jiuding!"
Tian Ding looked at the bamboo slip, where did the news come from the Chu State, Tian Ding didn't expect that the Chu State could actually think of such a plan, and after thinking about it, Tian Ding immediately understood the purpose of the Chu State.
Obviously, the purpose of the Chu State this time is not only to let Bai Yan leave Daliang and go to Surabaya, but also to set up a situation to make Bai Yan and Ying Zheng have a disagreement, forcing Bai Yan to leave the Qin State in the end!
This is a conspiracy, which is similar to the original siege of Wei to save Zhao.
"Wonderful! I don't know who is planning it. ”
Tian Ding thought of this, his eyes flashed with excitement, if it was done, why should he worry about how to make Bai Yan return to Qi!
Slowly put away the bamboo slips and handed them to the servant.
Yingzheng has the grace to promote Mao Jiao, and this matter should not be known to Mao Jiao, let alone his daughter.
Come to think of it. Tian Ding turned his head and looked at his beloved daughter Tian Feiyan angrily, although his daughter only knew after a long time that Bai Yan was the Yan he drove away, but after knowing it, his daughter still hid this matter from him for so long, and said that it was too early to say it, he may not pay attention to it, and King Qi will not pay attention to it, it is better to wait for him and King Qi to pay attention to it, and then say it! ”
In this regard, Tian Ding didn't believe his daughter's words at all, what kind of character his daughter was, how could he, a father, not know, Tian Ding knew that if this matter was not forced to happen, his daughter would definitely not mention it and continue to hide it, otherwise he would not arrange Fei Ling here.
