Chapter 572: Huh? The king calls my name when he has nightmares?
"Brother Yan, what do you say about the corpse?"
After sending Concubine Qi away, it was confirmed that no one was following, Rui Wei hurriedly went to see Bai Yan, and when he came to the small courtyard, he saw that Bai Yan was already wearing Qi clothes and was about to leave, so he hurriedly asked.
After experiencing Concubine Qi being assassinated by hundreds of dead soldiers, Rui Wei was afraid that once the Wei clan rebelled, his fate would definitely be dismantled by the Wei people.
Not to mention, there is also Changping-kun!
"Brother Rui, don't worry, the Wei clan will not rebel!"
Bai Yan looked at Rui Wei's appearance and said softly.
After talking to the corpse, Bai Yan also took a look, those injured and dead soldiers, now that they have stabilized the warriors of Daliang City, then it is time to leave.
The assassination of Concubine Qi by the dead soldiers of the Chu State failed, and the Chu State will definitely react after getting the news.
"Bai Yan is going to leave Daliang today, Daliang is here, and he will have to worry about Brother Rui in the future!"
Bai Yan looked at Rui Wei and arched his hand and said.
Rui Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the Wei clan would not rebel, and hurriedly returned the salute, reassuring Bai Yan.
A moment later, under the escort of Rui Wei, Bai Yan left the small courtyard and slowly left the girder from the street in a carriage.
on the streets.
Bai Yan sat in the carriage, listening to the people on the street outside, still talking about the assassination, and occasionally heard the scolding of some Qin officials from time to time.
After leaving Daliang City, Bai Yan rode a carriage and followed the official road all the way to the bottom of a rolling mountain range.
Bai Yan stepped out of the carriage.
Not far away, a small lonely mound was erected under a small tree.
When he came to the front of the small mound, there were already a lot of weeds popping up, so Bai took out a few coins from his arms, pried some dirt on the ground with a dagger, and then put a few coins in it, and then compacted the soil.
After doing all this, Bai Yan wiped the dagger.
Looking at the uncle's grave, I thought that the uncle had a good face all his life and liked to take advantage.
After the death of the uncle, Bai Yan did not choose to give the uncle a rich burial, Bai Yan was the people of Yanmen, offended many people, if he gave the uncle a rich burial near Daliang, it was inevitable that he would be dug up by someone with a heart to steal money and whip the corpse.
Although it is not very good with the uncle, but now that the uncle is no longer in the world, Bai Yan does not want to see the uncle's bones exposed in the wild again, in case the grandfather and father want to worship in the future, they can't even find the bones, for fear that the grandfather will faint if he is not good.
"Uncle, after Yan'er returns to Qi Kingdom, she will definitely bring back Uncle's bones!"
Bai Yan looked at the small tomb and slowly got up.
At the beginning, Bai Yan also thought about it, after secretly burying his uncle here, he asked people to send letters to Qi countries, and then gave some money for a Qi person to send the letters to his grandfather.
At that time, my grandfather will definitely come to worship, or he will try his best to move the uncle's tomb back to Qi.
But then I thought that if my grandfather was in a hurry to come here, I am afraid that my father would have to follow me in addition to my uncle.
So Bai Yan could only dispel this thought.
Now that Qin Qi is in turmoil, and Daliang and all Wei are also in turmoil, it is really not a wise move to travel here at this time.
"General, this is news from Teng County!"
Bai Yan pondered.
A scout battalion soldier in disguise hurriedly rode a horse and came to Bai Yan, turned over and dismounted, and handed the bamboo slip to Bai Yan out of breath.
"Teng County?"
Bai Yan was a little surprised, and seemed to take the bamboo slip, open it and look at it slowly.
……………………
Dingtao.
A place that has been famous for its wealth for hundreds of years, even when the Qin State attacked the Wei State, Dingtao was not implicated in the war.
At this moment, in Dingtao City, at a glance, the streets are full of pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages are endless, merchants and hawkers are shouting both sides of the street, and the scene of the sea of people is nothing more than that.
A carriage drove to the door of a large, quieter mansion before slowly coming to a stop.
Bai Yan's figure stepped down from the carriage.
The Iron Eagle Sharp Warrior general who guarded the gate naturally knew Bai Yan, and after entering the mansion to report, he took Bai Yan into the mansion.
"Meet Concubine Qi!"
In the mansion, seeing Concubine Qi again, Bai Yan clearly felt that Concubine Qi's cheeks were obviously a lot haggard.
Obviously, because of the assassination of the dead soldier in Daliang, Concubine Qi has not rested well.
"The general is finally here!"
Concubine Qi looked at Bai Yan with beautiful eyes, her eyes were full of joy, and her expression seemed to relax a lot.
In the final analysis, Concubine Qi is just a woman, and she usually can't fight, let alone fight and kill, like Bai Yan has experienced those days of licking blood from the tip of the knife, and she can't even think of it.
After experiencing assassination, when you see a confidant maid who has been with you for so many years, you have to kill yourself.
If you are any woman, I am afraid that you will have a shadow in your heart.
Seeing Bai Yan arrive at this time, Concubine Qi was finally able to feel at ease, which was a feeling that no one else could give Concubine Qi after experiencing danger.
"Delay all the way, please forgive Concubine Qi!"
Bai Yan arched his hand.
Seeing the maid come over to pour tea, Bai Yan saw Concubine Qi invited to take a seat, but she was not polite.
"The general knows that in the past, when the king went to sleep, he often recited the name of the general......"
Concubine Qi saw Bai Yan kneeling behind the wooden table, and when the maid left, she looked at Bai Yan.
"Huh?"
Bai Yan suddenly heard Concubine Qi's words, and he didn't react, and after reacting, he was even more confused.
What does Concubine Qi mean by this sentence?
And when the king slept, he dreamed of ......
"Fu Chan was puzzled at the time, but today I finally understand!"
Concubine Qi looked at Bai Yan's surprised and stunned appearance and smiled bitterly.
Now not to mention Sima Xing and Tieying Ruishi, as well as the palace guards, even the maids beside her, Concubine Qi can't believe it, even Concubine Qi knows that if those maids are assassins, they will assassinate her when they are in Daliang.
But after experiencing betrayal, Concubine Qi still can't trust other people, even after sleeping, she will be awakened by nightmares.
Those experiences and feelings of Ying Zheng at the beginning, Concubine Qi finally experienced it herself.
I finally understood why Ying Zheng often exclaimed Bai Yan's name in his dreams, which was the person he trusted the most subconsciously after his body experienced extreme tension and stimulation.
"The minister is ashamed, let Concubine Qi be frightened!"
After Bai Yan came back to his senses, he looked at Concubine Qi and said modestly.
Looking at Concubine Qi's eyes, Bai Yan was glad that there was no one around at this time, otherwise she couldn't say anything clearly, Concubine Qi was obviously saying, she also said his Bai Yan's name in a dream.
Concubine Qi's appearance, naturally there is no need to say much.
Not to mention the surprise when he saw Concubine Qi for the first time in Xianyang Palace, it was as early as when he was very young, Bai Yan heard Concubine Qi's name from those village names who looked down on him.
At that time, no matter the old people and children in the village, or adult men, they all longed to see Concubine Qi from afar, and some men who were fortunate enough to see Concubine Qi from afar kept Concubine Qi firmly in their hearts, showing off to others from time to time, that flickering eyes, that look, Bai Yan has not forgotten to this day.
Bai Yan was also curious when she was a child, Concubine Qi was really that beautiful?
Now, when Bai Yan saw Concubine Qi with his own eyes, and the relationship was so close, Bai Yan didn't dare to have the slightest thought, and kept his distance more carefully.
Concubine Qi is the beloved concubine of King Yingzheng of Qin, which is enough.
“……”
Concubine Qi couldn't help but purse her lips and smile when she saw Bai Yan bowing her head slightly and looking nervous.
Thinking of Bai Yan leading his troops to kill the enemy, one famous deed after another for the Qin State, and thinking back to that night, even in the face of the assassins, he was still in danger and blocked her back.
Now looking at Bai Yan's appearance, Concubine Qi felt for the first time that behind the majestic name of 'Bai Yan'.
The young man in front of him still has the youthfulness that belongs to a teenager, even if he is well covered by his status and fame, Concubine Qi can still detect it.
And Concubine Qi also felt that Bai Yan still didn't understand Yingzheng.
Not to mention those maids because of the matter of the beam, it is enough to sit together, and now she has spared the lives of those maids, her affairs, those maids naturally dare not say it, even if it is passed out, Yingzheng knows what it is.
Could it be that he really blames Bai Yan for this incident?
Ying Zheng himself still called Bai Yan's name when he had nightmares, and now that he knows her experience, how can he blame Bai Yan.
Ying Zheng's mind is by no means such a small belly.
Inside the main hall.
As the conversation continued, Concubine Qi, who was relaxed, unconsciously fell asleep on the wooden table.
Bai Yan got up, came to the door and instructed the maid in the courtyard to bring a velvet blanket for Concubine Qi to drape, and then Bai Yan did not leave in a hurry.
Looking at Concubine Qi who was sleeping at the wooden table, the expression on her pretty face was so quiet, Bai Yan admired Zhan Lu, returned to the wooden table again, and knelt down and waited for Sima Xing to come back.
Thinking of what Concubine Qi said, Bai Yan didn't expect that when Ying Zheng had a nightmare, he actually shouted his name.
Bai Yan knew that it was related to Jing Ke's assassination.
Now that I think about it, I don't realize it, after so long, when I first saw Jing Ke, the capital of Yan Kingdom was still Jidu, and at that time, Qin Wuyang didn't take him seriously along the way.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, Bai Yan turned his head to look, and then slowly got up.
Before he reached the door, he saw Sima Xing already coming with an excited face.
Bai Yan glanced at Concubine Qi behind him, Sima Xing just wanted to speak, but at this time he also saw Concubine Qi lying asleep behind the wooden table, so he held back his excitement and came to the corridor outside the door with Bai Yan.
"Bai Yan, meet my uncle!"
Bai Yan stood under the corridor in front of the door, looked at Concubine Qi who was sleeping in the room, and then bowed to Sima Xing.
Sima Xing looked at Bai Yan, stretched out his hand with a smile, and patted Bai Yan's shoulder.
"Destroy Wei and find the Kyushu Ding for the Qin State, Hu Lao knows that he will be happy for your kid."
Sima Xing said with emotion.
When he didn't see Bai Yan, Sima Xing was full of excitement, and he didn't even care about the people of the scholar clan, so he hurriedly came to Concubine Qi under the pretext that Concubine Qi had something important, and after seeing Bai Yan, Sima Xing said a thousand words, and finally turned into a sentence of emotion.
Although this kid in front of him is a Qi person, he is also Sima Xing, watching him grow up!
For a long time, not only Hu Lao, but also Sima Xing and Hu Jin, all regarded Bai Yan as a junior.
"Say, how did you know that someone was going to assassinate Concubine Qi? Why are you kid in the girder? ”
Sima Xing looked at Bai Yan's eyes with sadness and a slight redden, sighed, and asked.
Speaking of this, Sima Xing's eyes gradually became cold.
"The person who planned to assassinate Concubine Qi was Changping Jun!"
Bai Yan saw that there was no one around, so he said softly.
Sima Xing was stunned, looked at Bai Yan, and then his pupils shrank, and his expression gradually became solemn.
Changping Jun !!
How is this possible? Changping Jun is the prime minister of Qin, why did he kill Concubine Qi? Concubine Qi's envoy to the State of Qi was beneficial to the State of Qin without any harm.
"Do you have any proof?"
Sima Xing had to look at Bai Yan with a serious face, and then looked around again to make sure that there was no one.
"Yan, there is not the slightest evidence, and the captured dead soldiers also committed suicide one after another. But Yan is determined......"
Bai Yan turned sideways to look at the courtyard in the distance, and when he said this, he turned his head to look at Sima Xing's tense expression.
"That day and night, as long as Concubine Qi died, Changping Jun would kill his uncle in the mansion and force the Wei clan to rebel!"
After Bai Yan finished speaking, he gave Sima Xing a digest.
And Sima Xing's whole face was cloudy, his eyes kept flickering, thinking back that night, if Sima Xing followed Bai Yan's words and wanted Changping Jun to be the mastermind behind the scenes, a cold sweat appeared behind him.
"But Changping Jun is already the prime minister of the Qin State, or the right prime minister, why did he kill Concubine Qi and help the Chu State? Concubine Qi died in Daliang, the king will definitely not give up, and it will be difficult to keep the phase of Changping Jun at that time, so Changping Jun doesn't want the phase of Qin? This is the only ...... in the Qin State on the king."
Sima Xing looked at Bai Yan, frowned, and said the doubts in his heart, but as he spoke, a thought came to Sima Xing's mind.
Changping Jun wanted to unite with the state of Chu against the state of Qin!!
Gui Chu!!
Thinking of this, Sima Xing's pupils were shocked, and his face changed instantly.
"It's not good, the king has sent Li Xin as the main general to lead the army of Qin and attack Chu!"
Sima Xing said.
Thinking that the king sent Li Xin to attack the Chu State, if Changping Jun had really decided to betray the Qin State, then Li Xin, as a disciple of Chang Wenjun, is now leading the Qin army, which is ...... What the consequences were, it is not difficult for Sima Xing to imagine.
"Li Xin attacking Chu?"
When Bai Yan heard Sima Xing's words, he was stunned, and almost his first reaction was that Changping Jun rebelled in Yingchen.
Previously, Bai Yan had always thought that this matter would not happen as he led his troops to attack Qufu, after all, most of the army of Qin State would be stationed in Zhao and Yandi, and the rest of the Qin army had more than 100,000 troops under his command alone, and Wang Ben also had more than 100,000 Qin troops, so in this case, Qin State would not send other troops to attack Chu State.
Now Bai Yan finally knew that he underestimated Qin's ability to mobilize a large army.
It is no wonder that after the defeat of Li Xin's army, Yingzheng was still able to get 600,000 Qin troops and hand them over to Wang Qian.
"Li Xin is going to enter Chu from Yingchen?"
Bai Yan hurriedly asked, if it was Ying Chen, then Li Xin's attack on Chu would inevitably repeat the mistakes of the past.
After the destruction of Han in the past, Bai Yan personally detained Han Wang'an to go to Yingchen, at that time, Bai Yan saw the people of Yingchen, and those people still maintained the habits of the Chu people for decades, and I heard that secretly, they even regarded themselves as Chu people.
"I don't know."
Sima Xing shook his head in panic, Sima Xing didn't know the specific situation, and he learned about this matter from Changping Jun when he left Daliang.
Now thinking back to Changping Jun's smile at that time, a sense of fear appeared in Sima Xing's mind.
If Changping Jun really rebelled against Qin.
The entire Qin State, I'm afraid it's going to be turbulent!
Changping Jun is not just a person, the forces behind Qi are deeply rooted in the Qin State.
"It must be presented to the king! You immediately go to Qufu and lead the Qin army to withdraw! ”
Sima Xing came back to his senses, looked at Bai Yan, and said with a panicked expression.
As the person who led the troops, Sima Xing knew that if Li Xin was defeated, it would have a great impact on Qin Chu, and when Nanyang was lost, no matter what Wang Ben was, he would have to return to defense.
Wherever the Qin army's grain and grass in Qufu had to pass through Wei, without Wang Ben consolidating the Wei land, the Chu army would have it at his fingertips, and Bai Yan must immediately transfer troops and return to defend Wei.
The opportunity is fleeting, and we must not wait for Wang Ben to withdraw his troops before acting, otherwise the Chu State will definitely take the opportunity to capture Wei in advance, and take advantage of Bai Yan's retreat to gradually pursue and eat away at the elite under Bai Yan's command.
But when the words fell, Sima Xing was just about to leave, when he saw Bai Yan frowning and stretched out his hand to block his way.
"Does my uncle have any evidence?"
Bai Yan asked.
Outside the door, Sima Xing was stunned, and after a few breaths, he calmed down, indeed, they didn't have the slightest evidence at the moment.
"Even General Li Xin and General Meng Tian may not believe their uncle's words!"
Bai Yan looked at Sima Xing.
Turning her head to look at Concubine Qi sleeping on the wooden table in the room.
After receiving Peng Bo's news before, Bai Yan still didn't understand why Ban Ding had secretly asked Peng Bo to hand over the news of the Qin army's deployment of troops and the grain and grass of each city to the Chu army, but the Chu army did not move for a long time.
Now that he heard that Li Xin led his troops to attack Chu from Nanyang, Bai Yan was sure.
Xiang Yan, the chief general of the Chu army!
It's no longer in Qufu!
Concubine Qi didn't say it before, and when Da Liang first saw Bai Yan, she didn't tell Bai Yan, but now she took the initiative to say it, because after Concubine Qi experienced the assassination, her trust in Bai Yan in her heart was far greater than before.
