Inside the palace of King Qi.

Qi Wangjian was already anxious because of the assassination of Qin Xiang, and now Qin Shangqing Yao Jia and Mao Jiao have sent heavy troops to protect them, but I don't know if there are people who are instigating behind the scenes, in the Linzi City of Qi State, those scholars from Han Land, Zhao Land, Wei Land, and Yan Land also seem to have begun to vent their anger against Qin State merchants in secret.

Although there was a hatred of destroying the country, but he was also restrained and did not dare to make too much trouble, and now Qin Xiang was assassinated in Linzi, and many people speculated that it was secretly planned by the Qi people, saying that he King Qi was ready to unite with the King of Chu against the Qin State, which also gave Han Zhao and Wei Yan the courage of those scholars to start unscrupulously attacking Qin Shang.

"This is to force the widow to death!"

Qi Wangjian walked around behind the wooden table, his eyebrows were full of anger, if he could, at this moment Qi Wangjian couldn't wait to give an order to kill all the scholars and clans who were making trouble, and they were all gone.

But those scholars are in the Qi country, and the foundation of their connections is very widespread, but if he orders to be arrested, in less than half a day, there will be ministers of the Qi country to intercede, and even go around, and the uncles and elders in the clan will come to Linzi to intercede.

However, if he didn't curb the actions of those scholars, I was afraid that in a few days, he Qi Wangjian would really tear his face with King Qin and fight against each other.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggested that an order should be issued immediately to clarify the assassination and inform the world that the Qi State has no intention of being an enemy of Qin, so that those scholars will not dare to indiscriminately hurt the Qin people when they know the king's thoughts. The king doesn't need to worry about turning against Qin. ”

After the prime minister's victory, after thinking about it, he looked at Qi Wang Jian and said.

Hou Sheng's meaning was nothing more than to let Qi Wangjian personally write an edict statement and order it to be posted on the streets of Linzi City, so that everyone would know that Qi did not intend to turn against Qin.

In this way, Qin State must also know that the assassination of Qin Xiang has nothing to do with Qi State, and Qin State will definitely give Qi State time to investigate.

Best of both worlds.

"Has the clan brother ever returned?"

When Qi Wangjian heard Hou Sheng's words, he didn't answer, but instead opened his mouth and asked the eunuch.

This is also the evaluation of many people on Qi Wang Jian, mediocre but not faint.

The reason why Qi Wangjian didn't care about Hou Sheng's victory was that Qi Wangjian knew that once he issued a statement like that, Qin would no longer have any scruples and would attack Chu wholeheartedly, and Chu would mistakenly think that Qi had no intention of forming an alliance, and might even guess that Qi and Qin secretly colluded, so as to form a feud.

"Your Majesty, Lord Tian ......"

The eunuch was about to say that Tian Ding had not yet returned, but before he could finish speaking, he saw a palace guard hurriedly come to the study.

"Your Majesty, Lord Tian is asking to see you outside the palace!"

The palace guard reported to Qi Wangjian.

When Qi Wangjian heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked the eunuch to usher Tian Ding into the study.

Hou Sheng stood quietly in the study, looking at the joy on Qi Wangjian's face, his expression was full of gloom, he and the queen were sisters and brothers, although Qi Wangjian had always trusted him, and entrusted him with important tasks, and even the position of prime minister was handed over to him, but when comparing with Tian Ding, Hou Sheng obviously still felt that although Qi Wangjian was sometimes dissatisfied with Tian Ding, his trust in Tian Ding has always surpassed him.

A moment later.

As the eunuch hurriedly came to the study with a figure, Hou Sheng and King Qi turned their heads to look.

"Tian Ding, meet the king!"

Tian Ding, who returned to Linzi, didn't even have time to wear the official uniform of Qi State, and the appearance of coming in a hurry made Qi Wangjian, who had always complained, dissipate a lot of resentment.

"Did the clan brother recruit Bai Yan to return?"

Qi Wang Jian asked expectantly, looking at Tian Ding's eyes, it was called a naked desire.

Hou Sheng couldn't help but look at Tian Ding, and when he saw that there was no one behind Tian Ding, he couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

"It will take a little time to return to the king!"

Tian Ding saw Qi Wangjian's burning gaze, sighed helplessly, and shook his head.

Almost instantly, Qi Wangjian's expression turned into loss.

"But Bai Yan doesn't want to return? Why is Bai Yan reluctant to return? As long as Bai Yan returns to Qi, the fief, official position, and the widow will agree one by one, and even the widow has decided to marry his beloved daughter Hanzi to Bai Yan as his wife! ”

Qi Wangjian said to Tian Ding.

It means that as long as Bai Yan comes back, the fief he should have, the status he should have, and even the identity, he Qi Wangjian will double it to Bai Yan, and together with the princess of Qi State, he will give it to Bai Yan.

"Your Majesty, the time has not yet come!"

Tian Ding heard Qi Wangjian's promise that he was not stingy at all, and said softly.

Qi Wangjian frowned slightly, timing?

Suddenly, Qi Wangjian thought of something and looked at Tian Ding.

"But the fake tripod?"

Qi Wangjian asked, Tian Ding said this matter in the bamboo slips, and Qi Wangjian always remembered it.

"Back to the king, Bai Yan pretended to be Jiuding with a fake tripod and sent it to Xianyang, and when the fake tripod was told to the world, the world will definitely laugh and be generous, King Yingzheng of Qin was blinded, and Qin State also fell into a laughing stock, if the king did not abandon Bai Yan at that time, Bai Yan would return to Qi!"

Tian Ding didn't hide it, and said it himself.

And, under the gaze of Qi Wangjian, Tian Ding got the news sent by the State of Chu in Pengcheng at the beginning, and then ordered someone to go to Shili Pavilion to check, and it has been confirmed that Bai Yan used the Song Jiading, pretending to be Kyushu Ding, and sent it to Xianyang.

"The king, Weichen thinks that Bai Yan is a general, he goes in and out of the battlefield all the year round, and it is normal to kill violently, but he cheats against his will, and uses Song Ding to pretend to be Kyushu Ding, he is also a loyal monarch, if the king of Qin is angry with Bai Yan, and the king has mercy, Bai Yan will definitely die for the king!"

Hou Sheng, who had been listening silently, slowly stepped forward at this time and said to Qi Wangjian.

Regarding Bai Yan's matter, when Hou Sheng got the news of Kyushu Ding, he asked Qi Wangjian several times, and then learned from Qi Wangjian that Bai Yan actually used a fake Ding to pretend to be Kyushu Ding.

To be honest, Hou Sheng observed Bai Yan's entire plan, and couldn't help but marvel at its seamlessness, especially the attack on Pengcheng, which humiliated Chu General Huang Ye, such a real thing, who in the world would suspect that Jiuding was fake.

It was Song Ding that Bai Yan was looking for, pretending to be Jiuding.

What a pity! The whole thing, but the providence of God, allowed Song Jin to survive, and he had fled to Shouchun in Chu State.

"Weichen admonished, Bai Yan is not only a Qi person, but also has the ability to lead troops, and the king can recruit Qi! Serve my country! ”

After Hou Sheng finished speaking to Qi Wangjian, he slowly bent over, very serious.

In Hou Sheng's heart, Qin has never lacked generals to lead troops, but Bai Yan is more powerful than the vast majority of Qin generals.

But the premise is that it can't be Tian Ding's Qi State that recruited Bai Yanhui.

If Bai Yan has to return to Qi, then he must also need to be himself if he wins, and he will have a share of credit.

Hou Sheng knew very well that before the eldest son went to the Qin State, Bai Yan treated his eldest son well, and he was also polite, and he was never stingy with wine and meat.

Although Hou Sheng has never met Bai Yan, he also has a good impression of Bai Yan because of this.

Previously, after learning about the fake Ding, Hou Sheng had privately informed Yao Jia of the matter, and Yao Jia had ordered people to hurry overnight at any cost, and now the news has been sent to Xianyang in a hurry.

Bai Yan was a bit self-defeating this time.

But right now, Hou Sheng also hopes that Bai Yan will return to Qi.

If Bai Yan returns to Qi State, he will return to retirement when he is old in the future, and his eldest son will already have other children and grandchildren, and Bai Yan will also help each other in the court.

Therefore, at the moment, Hou Sheng also hopes that Bai Yan will return to Qi.

"As for the matter of Mao Ding, Wei Chen is willing, after Bai Yan returns to Qi, he will personally go to the Jixia School Palace, ask the sacrificial wine to write bamboo silk for Bai Yan, and explain Bai Yan's loyalty to the world."

When Hou Sheng said this, his eyes turned from Qi Wangjian to Tian Ding on the side, and nodded.

Tian Ding is a person, and he naturally understands the plan for victory.

Sneered, Tian Ding was looking forward to it, and when Bai Yan returned to Qi, he would tell the world about Bai Yan's framing and what kind of expression Hou Sheng would have.

"Good!"

Qi Wangjian was very satisfied when he heard Hou Sheng's words.

Hou Sheng's words can be said to be in the heart of Qi Wangjian, as the king of Qi State, the source of all Qi Wangjian's worries, in the final analysis, or Qi State did not dare to fight with Qin State.

At this time, a famous general in the eyes of Qi Wangjian is far better than the so-called friendship between Meng and Chu.

If the State of Qi has a famous general like Li Mu, with the national strength of the State of Qi being dozens of times that of the State of Zhao, it is not afraid to compete with the State of Qin alone.

"Brother!"

Qi Wangjian was very satisfied with Hou Sheng's remarks, and instead frowned slightly and looked at Tian Ding.

Tian Ding heard Qi Wangjian shouting to himself, and also looked at Qi Wangjian from Hou Sheng.

"Brother Bai Yan still needs to find Bai Yan's clan as soon as possible, Bai Yan's return to Qi is a matter of strengthening Qi to protect the country, it is a state matter, the widow is very worried about making mistakes, so before that, the widow still wants to go to his clan mansion to meet in person to show his sincerity!"

Qi Wangjian said.

has said so obviously, looking at Tian Ding, Qi Wangjian hopes that Tian Ding will not let him down again, the sooner he knows Bai Yan's clan mansion, the better, as the king of Qi, he must show the world that Qi Wangjian attaches great importance to talent, and also let Bai Yan see his sincerity, so as to move Bai Yan and let Bai Yan return to Qi wholeheartedly.

"Your Majesty's peace of mind! Tian Ding, will do his best to find! ”

Tian Ding said to Qi Wangjian and lowered his head slightly.

Bai Yan's matter, Tian Ding hesitated again and again, but decided not to inform the king of Qi first, now that the Qin State is attacking Chu, the position of the Qi State is very important, at such a critical time, Tian Ding is worried that once Qi Wangjian alienates him because of blame, so as to listen to the words of the villain, it will eventually lead to the danger of destroying the country.

Tian Ding still wanted to wait for Bai Yan to return to Qi State, and then understand the origin of Yan from Qi Wang Jian, and then he would also inform Qi Wang Jian that at the beginning, he personally ordered someone to drive Bai Yan out of Qi State.

Now is not the time.

"Your Majesty, Weichen will also do his best to help the king return to Qi with Bai Yan!"

At this time, Hou Sheng also said to Qi Wangjian, and the implication was that he would also do his best to find Bai Yan's origin.

Inside the study.

When Tian Ding heard Hou Sheng's words, his heart was full of gloom, but he thought that now in Linzi City, not only Hou Sheng, but also countless other forces were also looking for Bai Yan's origin.

Tian Ding didn't bother to pay attention to Hou Sheng.

Immediately, the conversation turned from Bai Yan to Qin Xiangkui's whereabouts, under Qi Wangjian's narration, Tian Ding also quickly understood the details of Qin Xiang's assassination, and when he learned that he was in Fangcai, Hou Sheng's advice, Tian Ding turned his head and glanced at Hou Sheng, and didn't say much, but his eyes obviously revealed a hint of warmth.

Holding back his dissatisfaction with Hou Sheng, Tian Ding looked at Qi Wangjian.

"Your Majesty, this matter will be handed over to Weichen!"

Tian Ding said to Qi Wang Jian.

Unexpectedly, Qi Wangjian shook his head when he heard Tian Ding's words.

"This matter is handed over to the clan brother and Xiangguo to investigate together, and it is important to investigate as soon as possible, who planned to assassinate and frame Qi Guo!"

Qi Wangjian looked at Tian Ding and Hou Sheng, and said.

"Weichen, I will live up to the king's order and find out the murderer for the king!"

Hou Sheng reacted quickly, and hurriedly bowed to Qi Wangjian, and when he saluted, Hou Sheng's heart was full of pride.

Qin Xiang was assassinated, Tian Ding wanted to investigate alone, how could it be so simple, not to mention, Hou Sheng doubted that Tian Ding was also involved in the assassination of Kui, or acquiesced.

Inside Linzi City.

In the Tian Mansion, Tian Feiyan lay lazily behind the wooden table, smelling the fragrant leaves collected by the servants, and feeling the breeze blowing outside the window.

Since the bamboo slips were taken away by the King of Qi, Tian Feiyan's days have become a little boring, and Qin Xiang was assassinated, martial law everywhere in the city, Tian Feiyan's identity is very sensitive, and he can't go anywhere to some small places.

What's more, inside the mansion, from time to time, there are some nasty people dangling in front of your eyes.

"My father is too, Bai Yan is a famous general, but I have never met with Bai Yan, and my father is not worried, that Bai Yan is a fierce and evil person, and in the past, my father said that he was the most favored by me!"

Fei Hanzi looked at Mi Ji and a few women of the scholar clan, and said with a worried face, saying that she was worried, but was it looking at Tian Feiyan's eyes, obviously a little proud.

Tian Feiyan naturally kept noticing Concubine Hanzi's eyes, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, not to mention the person who Concubine Hanzi said......

It's still that man!

"Alas~ My father was thinking about the son Dan of Yan State, as well as the Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans of Chu State, but later because Yan State was attacked by Qin State, and Chu State was too turbulent, this matter has been delayed, but I didn't expect that in the end, I was given to marry Bai Yan who I didn't know! Whining~! ”

Fei Hanzi pretended to be sad and lowered her head and rubbed her eyes.

"Bai Yan is also very good! Bai Yan is young, he is a famous general of the Qin State, and when he heard about the reign of King Yingzheng of Qin, he intended to take him with him and let him serve as a regular servant! ”

"Yes! And Bai Yan is very good at leading troops, and now he is destroying the Wei State, his grandfather and father often sigh, Qi Bai Yan, how can the east trouble, I didn't expect that now it is rumored that Bai Yan is a Qi person, even the king, all ......"

"Yes, my father also mentioned ......"

Hearing Fu Hanzi's words, the other women of the scholar clan in the study began to talk about each word, and not only did they not have sympathy for Fu Hanzi, but they were full of envy.

After all, they are all women of the scholar clan, and they have more or less heard the elders say that Bai Yan will return to Qi, and the King of Qi will definitely reward Bai Yan with fiefdom and military power, so in this case, it is too late for them to envy, after all, they don't know whether the man they marry in the future can be as good as Bai Yan, and they can support their family in the future, if they can be officials, it will be better.

"But after all, I have never met, and I am worried ......"

When Fei Hanzi heard the words of a few girlfriends, she was so proud in her heart, she looked at Tian Feiyan's eyes, and couldn't wait to tell Tian Feiyan directly about the pride in her heart, but on the surface, Fei Hanzi still had a pretty face full of worry.

At this time, one of the women suddenly thought that Tian Cong had gone to Yanmen to see Bai Yan before, so she looked at Tian Cong curiously.

"Lord Tian Cong, you have seen Bai Yan before, but Bai Yan is really as rumored?"

The woman looked at Tian Cong and asked.

The other women, as well as Concubine Hanzi, all looked at Tian Cong, wanting to know something about Bai Yan.

"Bai Yan, not ......"

When Tian Cong heard the inquiry, he couldn't help but glance at his wife Mi Tai, and while chuckling, he was about to speak, but he didn't think that a voice interrupted Tian Cong's words.

"He! Black and ugly, his temper is not good at all, very fierce, his face is full of rough like, like a cow, and there are scars, and he is particularly murderous, but I have ever heard that in Shangjun Gaonu, he burned tens of thousands of people to death, but also showed a cruel smile, when he was in the clouds, he let the soldiers of the Qin State eat the flesh of the Huns and drink the blood of the Huns......"

Tian Feiyan suddenly opened her mouth at this time, with a mocking expression, looking at Fei Hanzi, speaking word by word, and when she said the end, she raised her eyebrows, as if she was full of fear.

Soon.

Listening to Tian Feiyan's description, a black and ugly and very vicious appearance appeared in the minds of other women, and the smug eyes of Concubine Hanzi also disappeared in Tian Feiyan's words, and in his place, his face turned a little pale.

It was only at this time that Yu Hanzi remembered that when Tian Cong went to Yanmen, it seemed that Tian Feiyan also went with him.

"How do I know if what you say is true or not!"

Fu Hanzi was not convinced, endured the apprehension in her heart, and looked at Tian Feiyan.

Seeing this, Tian Feiyan chuckled disdainfully, and his pretty face was full of smiles.

"Why lie to you, isn't the king going to marry you to him? Naturally, there will be a chance to meet in the future. Besides, didn't your father tell you that Bai Yan ordered the slaughter of the people of Jiuli Pavilion for the sake of fame and fortune? How good can such a person be! ”

Tian Feiyan looked full of sympathy and looked at Yu Hanzi.

"If you don't believe me, ask my brother!"

Tian Feiyan looked at Concubine Hanzi's face was pale and panicked, and looked at his brother Tian Cong, asking his brother to speak.

Under Tian Feiyan's direct gaze, Tian Cong saw the gaze of Concubine Hanzi and other women, as well as his wife Mi Ji, and forced a smile to be under the gaze of everyone.

"Bai Yan is not a good person, he has killed many people!"

Without offending the little sister and not deceiving the concubine, Tian Cong saw his wife's gaze and whispered.

This sentence is indeed not against the will!

However, in Tian Cong's mind, when he was in Yanmen, he saw the young man with a beautiful face, a very kind person, and a very introverted heart, and then thought of the description of the little sister now, even if Tian Cong, who had experienced all kinds of scenes, he almost couldn't help laughing.

I don't know what Bai Yan's expression would be if he knew that the little sister would describe him like this in front of the princess of Qi and these women of the scholar clan.

However, looking at the other women's worried words, Fei Hanzi's eyes were full of horror, Tian Cong guessed, I am afraid that in Fei Hanzi's heart, she has begun to retreat, relying on the King of Qi has always been kind to her, I am afraid that in the past two days, Fei Hanzi will not have leisure and come to the mansion.
