Outside the city of Linzi.

Bai Yan just walked out of the carriage, and what caught his eye was more than a dozen Qi officials, wearing Qi official uniforms, standing not far away, and many people outside the city also gathered outside the city gate, watching behind a Qi pawn holding a long ge.

Along the city gate, looking into the city, you can see the crowds of people at a glance, and at a glance, you can clearly see that countless scholars are crowded together in the city, constantly talking and watching, and the lively atmosphere makes Bai Yan a little trance.

Five years ago, when he left this city gate, the only people who sent him away were Tian Feiyan, his grandmother, and his aunt.

And today, five years later, when I returned to this city gate, there was a surge of people all over the city, and countless scholars came to the city gate.

Is it because you are a Qi person?

With this thought, Bai Yan stepped out of the carriage.

"Doctor Qi Tian Xie, I've seen Wu Liejun!"

Among the officials of the Qi State who greeted him, the person who was the leader, named Tian Xie, was the doctor of the Qi State.

And beside Tian Xie, another Qi doctor is Hou Yao, the son of Hou Sheng, in the past, in the Qin State, Bai Yan had a very good relationship with him, and he was very close.

"Bai Yan sent an envoy to the Qi country, and you have to work for everyone!"

Bai Yan looked at Tian Xie, bowed back to Tian Xie, and then looked at Hou Yao.

Seeing Hou Yao's comprehension eyes, and not treating himself as an outsider at all, although Bai Yan smiled on the surface, he thought in his heart that in the dark night, the teacher who taught him swordsmanship.

Previously, in the Qin State, Bai Yan was close to Hou Yao, but he didn't know the secret behind the death of his mentor, so he approached Hou Yao.

Now that he knows the cause of his mentor Yinbei's death, Bai Yan no longer has the slightest old affection for Hou Yao in his heart.

"It's all Qi people, no need to be polite! Wu Liejun has worked hard all the way, and the king is already waiting in the palace! ”

Tian Xie said to Bai Yan with a smile on his face.

Tian Xie's face is a standard Confucian scholar, and even his words and deeds show the style of a Confucian scholar everywhere.

"There is labor!"

When Bai Yan heard Tian Xie's words, he didn't answer more, but raised his hand to return the salute.

Before coming, Wei Lao had already told Bai Yan that this Tian Xie, Tian Xie, the doctor of Qi State, was also a famous man who walked out of the Jixia School Palace, and after Tian Ding left, Tian Xie quickly took over Tian Ding's former position.

Previously, when Tian Ding resigned and retired, he was not in the court of Qi State, and the Linzi scholars who learned the news were actually all speculating that the person who replaced Tian Ding's position was likely to be Tian Heng, who was also from the Qi State clan.

After all, whether it is his identity or out of the help of Qi Guo, Tian Heng is the best candidate to succeed Tian Ding.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations, and it was Tian Xie who finally replaced Tian Ding.

"Please!"

"Please!!"

Tian Xie and Hou Yao smiled at Bai Yan and motioned for Bai Yan to enter the city.

King Qi is still waiting for Bai Yan in the palace! The reason why they came to the city gate in person to greet them was also to show the importance that King Qi attached to Bai Yan's return to Qi.

"Please!"

Bai Yan nodded, motioned for the two to go first, and then turned around and returned to the carriage.

Inside Linzi City.

Noisy voices came and went, and in the chaotic conversations, there were exclamations of scholars everywhere.

"See! That Bai Yan is really young! ”

"No, I didn't expect the rumors to be true!"

In the crowd, the exclamations of the people were full, and when they looked outside the city gate, the man in the official uniform of the Qin State turned around and returned to the carriage, and the discussion was even louder.

Among them, a few men, with their feet on their feet, looked at the carriage outside the city, turned their heads and talked excitedly with the men who were traveling with them.

"Did you see Bai Yan's appearance clearly?"

"See! I don't know if I can have a chance to visit Bai Yan! ”

Wan looked at the excited look of the lover and his friend next to her, her pretty face was full of loss, because of her height, in this crowd, she didn't see Bai Yan's appearance clearly.

Thinking of this, Wan was full of anxiety, but no matter how she got up, it didn't help in the end, but she felt a collision behind her, and immediately turned her head to look behind her vigilantly.

However, when she turned around, she had already seen one carriage after another, under the care of Qi Pawn, driving straight through the wide street in front of her.

On the main road of Linzi City.

As the capital of wealthy merchants, it is also the widest street in the capital of Qi, and the street, looking down from the sky, from the city gate to the palace of the king of Qi along the street, all are densely packed with figures, if it is not guarded by Qi soldiers all the way, I am afraid that the whole street has already been blocked.

"It's coming! Here it comes!!! ”

A couple also crowded into the crowd, and the couple, who used to be small vendors and regarded the stalls as the same fate, were now standing on the small stalls, looking at the streets guarded by one by one, and the carriages drove by.

"All of them are palace guards, you see, those carriages! Doctor Tian Xie, as well as the prime minister's son, really went to greet Bai Yan! What a lot of officials! ”

"The old man has lived in the Qi country for most of his life, and it is the first time for the old man to let the king greet a person like this!"

"You see, aren't those chariots of the clansmen? All the Wang clansmen gathered together and came to Linzi with Bai Yan...... Hiss! ”

Xiao Mata and his wife stood on the stall, looking at the exquisite carriages in the distance, as people who had never ridden a carriage, not to mention those carriages, even those Qi officials who rode in the carriage, they were all big people who could not be contacted by the two of them in their lives.

In the past, a small official of Qi who patrolled the city, when he was in a bad mood and passed by with a gloomy face, would make the couple full of anxiety, for fear of being troubled by the officials.

Now I see so many big figures of the Qi Kingdom, and even those Qi clan relatives who were rare to see in the past, there are so many people who have come to Linzi City together.

Not to mention Xiao Yan, it was Bai Yan's aunt, her face was in a trance at the moment, and her expression was full of disbelief.

"Lover, these are the people who accompany Yan'er and welcome Yan'er back to Linzi?"

The aunt turned her head and looked at her lover in a trance, thinking that it was Yan'er who was riding in the carriage.

Even if he knew that Yan'er was now the famous Bai Yan.

But when she thought of it, five years ago, she sent Yan'er out of Linzi City, looking at Yan'er's appearance, she really couldn't believe that in the carriage of the Qin Kingdom, it was the young man who called her aunt in front of her in the past.

And now, countless people who can't climb high, and who are also high-ranking officials and magnates in the entire Qi country, have all gathered together to greet and accompany the young man because of his return to Qi.

"Should be ......"

Looking at his wife's appearance, not to mention that his wife was confused, even if he was at a loss, he was also at a loss.

I used to think that I was prepared in my heart, but when I really saw this scene, the impact brought by what I saw with my own eyes still made it difficult for Xiao Mata to come back to his senses.

Palace of the King of Qi.

The civil and military officials of Qi still did not go down to the court, Qi Wangjian knelt behind the wooden table on the main hall, and listened to the court discussions of the hundred officials, while holding a bamboo slip and watching.

Finally, a palace guard hurriedly entered the main hall.

Seeing this, not to mention Qi Wangjian, even the civil and military officials of Qi under His Royal Highness, they couldn't help but glance at each other at this moment, and shouted quietly.

"Your Majesty! Wu Liejun Bai Yan, ask to see him outside the palace! ”

The palace guards were under the Great Palace, reporting to King Qi Jianyu.

"Xuan!"

When Qi Wangjian heard the palace guard's words, his expression was full of excitement, regardless of the bamboo slip in his hand, the whole person was shocked, and the gesture of swinging and urging seemed to be eager to see Bai Yan immediately.

Outside the palace of King Qi.

Bai Yan was beside the carriage, watching Wei Lao and the others take the carriage to the embassy's mansion, and continued to talk with Hou Yao, Tian Wei, Tian Dan, Tian Xie and others.

Although he grew up in a water village outside Linzi City since he was a child, Bai Yan also came to this Qi King's Palace for the first time.

For Bai Yan, there were few opportunities to come to Linzi when he was a child, it was nothing more than a few fixed locations, fixed streets and alleys.

"I don't know when Gongzi will come back! Previously, Wu Liejun had a lot of contact with Gongzisheng, if Gongzisheng learned that Wuliejun returned to Linzi, he would be very excited and couldn't help but be happy! ”

"It's a pity, now that Gongzi is promoted, he is still with the old man who wrote the book, dare to ask Wu Liejun, have you heard of that old man?"

Tian Xie looked at Bai Yan and suddenly mentioned Gongzi Sheng, and Tian Dan on the side, after hearing Tian Xie's words, his eyes lit up, and he immediately echoed and asked.

Bringing the topic to the old man who wrote the book was also deliberately done by Tian Xie, after all, it was not only Tian Dan, Tian Rong and others who were clan relatives, but also Tian Xie, who replaced Tian Ding's position, and at this time he was also eager that Bai Yan could return to Qi to serve his life.

When Fang was outside the gate of Linzi City, when he saw Tian Dan and other clan relatives coming, Tian Xie immediately realized that Tian Dan and others were in Bo Mushroom City before, and obviously did not say anything about Bai Yan.

Immediately, Tian Xie analyzed how Tian Dan and others would persuade Bai Yan, and how he would persuade Bai Yan.

So Tian Xie thought of Gongzisheng, who had met Bai Yan before, and thought of the reason why Gongzisheng was not in Linzi now, and immediately realized that maybe he could talk about the old man.

After all, it is to persuade Bai Yan to return to Qi, so talking to Bai Yan about the good things of Qi is naturally the top priority, and the mysterious old man can also give Bai Yan confidence.

"Bai Yan, I've heard a little!"

Bai Yan looked at Tian Dan and Tian Xie and nodded.

Looking at the relieved appearance of the two, Bai Yan and Tian Wei glanced at each other, and each understood the purpose of Tian Dan and Tian Xie.

"Previously, Tian Xie had the honor to see bamboo slips in the palace of King Qi, and unified with the sacrificial wine, co-ordinated its talent hidden in the bamboo slips, and wrote a book in the Jixia School Palace, if Wu Liejun did not give up, it is better to choose a day and go to the Jixia School Palace to read together, how about it?"

Tian Xie looked at Bai Yan, his face was full of indifferent smiles, and his eyes were full of confidence.

Although there are a lot of bamboo slips circulated, but no matter how they circulate, all the bamboo slips in the world are absolutely incomparable, and the bamboo slips in the Jixia School Palace are complete, which is the king of Qi personally ordered him to copy with the sacrificial wine.

Tian Xie can even take a life guarantee, this is the only one in the world, and in order to prevent leakage, there are even fewer people who have seen it.

"Hiss~! Transcribed out? ”

"This! We didn't even know it! ”

Hearing Tian Xie's words, not to mention Tian Dan, it was Tian Heng, and he also glanced at Tian Rong with some surprise, if they had understood Tian Xie's meaning before, so they had the heart to agree, then at the moment, they were indeed a little surprised.

They didn't expect that those bamboo slips hidden in the palace of King Qi, King Qi had secretly ordered Tian Xie and Xuegong to extract the wine.

"In the past, King Qi had a life and was not allowed to spread the word, but now that he sees Wu Liejun here, Tian Xie is in charge of his own affairs!"

Tian Xie looked at the appearance of Tian Dan, Tian Rong, Tian Heng and other clan relatives, and even Hou Yao and Tian Wei were surprised, the smile in his eyes was even worse, and his expression couldn't help but be a little proud.

A sentence of doing it without permission is also an implication, and the king of Qi has entrusted him with great power before.

Being able to replace Tian Ding's position is not only due to Tian Ding's help and recommendation, but more importantly, in the past, King Qi also attached great importance to him and entrusted him with important tasks.

"This! It seems that we are going to ask the king......"

Tian Dan smiled bitterly, shook his head at the other clansmen, and sighed.

Tian Heng, Tian Rong and others also nodded, and after learning the news and calming down, they looked at Bai Yan, and everyone also struck while the iron was hot, and in front of Bai Yan, like a few family treasures, they kept praising the power of the mysterious old man.

Hou Yao stood aside and listened, the look in his eyes seemed to be very interested, and he seemed to have thoughts about the old man.

And Tian Wei and Bai Yan stood together, and they had already learned that the old man Gongzi was looking for was most likely fake, and his eyes were full of sneers, but he didn't say it.

"Thank you! In the near future, Bai Yan will definitely take the liberty to visit the Academy Palace! ”

Bai Yan listened to the words of Tian Heng and the others, and after watching him finish speaking, he looked at him with envious eyes, a little embarrassed, raised his hand, saluted Tian Xie, and agreed to visit Jixia School Palace on a certain day.

Of course, the reason why Bai Yan wanted to go to Jixia School Palace was not those bamboo slips, but because he wanted to take a look at this world-famous place.

When he was young, his father and mother begged his uncle many times and how angry he was in order to make him literate.

And this Jixia School Palace is a place where his mother dreamed that one day he could go when he was a child.

"Good, good!"

Tian Xie nodded with a smile.

Seeing Bai Yan's actions, not to mention Tian Xie, even Tian Dan, Tian Rong and others, their eyes lit up, and seeing that Bai Yan wanted to go to the school palace to see the bamboo slips, even Tian Heng looked at Tian Xie in surprise.

And at this very moment.

Not far away, a delicate and wide carriage drove slowly again, and the carriage had six horses, which was a carriage that Tian Dan, Tian Rong and other clan relatives did not dare to ride.

Bai Yan was a little puzzled, but it was Tian Dan, Tian Rong and others who took the lead in coming back to their senses.

"It should be Hanzi, who is favored by the king!"

Tian Xie said to Bai Yan, and then told Bai Yan that Concubine Hanzi was the most favored daughter of King Qi, and a long time ago, King Qi had allowed Concubine Hanzi to travel in King Qi's carriage.

"Kill !!"

"Kill!!"

Just as Bai Yan was listening to Tian Xie's words, suddenly, in the dense houses on the street in the distance, dozens of figures suddenly jumped out, holding sharp swords, all of them towards Bai Yan.

This sudden scene caught everyone outside the palace a little off guard.

Not to mention that Tian Dan, Tian Rong and others were taken aback, even Tian Wei, Tian Xie, and Tian Heng didn't expect that someone would dare to stab in front of the palace.

Are these people crazy?

"There's an assassin, quick!"

The guards standing outside the palace didn't expect this to happen, so they hurriedly pulled out their swords and killed those assassins from Bai Yan, Tian Xie, Tian Dan and others.

Naturally, there are guards in the palace, after all, as the palace of the king of Qi, if dozens of people can definitely threaten the palace, it is too child's play.

However, it will take a lot of time for those palace guards to come out, and without the permission of King Qi, Bai Yan will naturally not enter the palace at this time, even Tian Dan, Tian Xie and others are no exception.

"Who the hell is it? So bold? ”

Tian Dan's face was gloomy, and he stabbed outside the palace of the King of Qi, even if the purpose of those assassins was Bai Yan, but this action was tantamount to a slap in the face of Qi Guo, making Qi Guo's face disappear.

"It should be Chu Wei!"

Tian Heng looked at Tian Dan beside him and said.

Tian Rong and Tian Heng and other Qi clan relatives also looked angry at this time, listening to Tian Heng's words, everyone couldn't help but think that when they were in Bo Mushroom City before, it was also the Chu Wei clan who secretly instigated the clansmen to assassinate Bai Yan, but fortunately, Tian Heng found out in time, so he stopped it.

"Not good!"

Suddenly, whether it was Tian Xie, Tian Dan and the others, they all suddenly saw that because the guards in the palace had not yet rushed over, the guards on the streets, as well as the guards at the palace gate, could not completely stop the assassins for a while.

At this time, several assassins had already rushed over, and the leader shouted that he would die horizontally and vertically, and not let anyone go.

Seeing this, Tian Dan and the others were not very worried about themselves, after all, there were many people here, whether it was Tian Rong or Tian Dan, or Tian Heng, they were all known to practice martial arts, not to mention that beside them, there were Tian Wei and Bai Yan who led the troops.

What really worried them was the carriage in front of them.

"This ......"

Tian Wei had the heart to go to the rescue, but at this time he found out that because he wanted to go to the palace with him to restore his life, he had already handed over the sword to his cronies.

"Beware!"

When Tian Wei watched Bai Yan draw his sword and rush towards the carriage, he couldn't help but speak softly, but his hanging heart gradually let go, and Tian Wei still had a deep understanding of Bai Yan's martial arts.

With Bai Yan here, Fu Hanzi should not have an accident.

"Kill !!"

The man holding the sword also saw Bai Yan draw his sword and kill, and roared angrily and killed Bai Yan.

Under the worried eyes of Tian Dan, Tian Xie, as well as Tian Rong, Tian Heng and other clan relatives, Bai Yan held Zhan Lu in his hand, and when the first man chopped down, he dodged sideways, and then swept with a sword, and before the man could react, his neck was cold, covering his bleeding neck, trembling and taking two steps back, and falling to the ground.

Bai Yan, who has led the troops all the year round, is almost at ease in the face of these assassins, even if he is wearing the official uniform of the Qin State, Bai Yan's swordsmanship is not comparable to a few assassins.

Since Bai Yan, who was in the clouds and fought to the death with the Hun Tou Mandan under the heavy rain, his swordsmanship has improved again, and now unless several great swordsmen jointly assassinate, it is not so easy to assassinate Bai Yan at all.

"It's so strong!"

"Such swordsmanship ......!!"

Tian Dan, Tian Rong and other people who had practiced martial arts watched Bai Yan fight with the assassins from a distance, and watched the assassins block and dodge Bai Yan no matter how they stabbed and slashed Bai Yan, and they were all a little surprised.

Especially watching Bai Yan actually get close to himself and fight with those assassins, this way of fighting with swords made Tian Rong, Tian Heng and others unheard of.

From the initial worry, to now, everyone has finally seen Bai Yan's swordsmanship.

Tian Dan and Tian Heng glanced at each other, and they both felt in their hearts that they were afraid that they were the most powerful swordsmen among the disciples worshiped in the clan, and they might not be Bai Yan's opponents alone.

"Die!"

An assassin looked at Bai Yan with his back to him, his face was excited, he held a sword in both hands, walked up quickly with a hideous face, and slashed at Bai Yan's head with all his might.

However, as expected, the sudden feeling of the sword slashing the head did not appear, and the man with the sword was horrified to see that Bai Yan, who was originally facing away from him, suddenly turned his sword in front of him and held it backhanded, and then suddenly raised it high and leaned back.

The man slashed with all his strength, not only splitting the air, but also causing severe pain in his abdomen, and the strength of his whole body gradually disappeared, and everything in front of him slowly blurred.

Strike~!

Bai Yan pulled out his saber vigorously, saw the sharp sword in front of him stuck in the soil, and slowly fell, feeling the man behind him, he also slowly fell to the ground along his shoulder.

"Ah!!h

Suddenly, there was a girl's scream in the carriage, and when Bai Yan looked, he saw a man with a sword who had already stepped into the carriage, grabbed the wooden door of the carriage, and then pulled it open with force.

Seeing this, Bai Yan hurriedly stepped forward, directly took Zhan Lu, and jumped into the carriage.

As the wooden door opened, before it was too late, the assassin who assassinated the woman in the carriage had already seen Bai Yan approaching, so when Bai Yan jumped into the carriage, he was already holding a sharp sword at this moment and swept towards Bai Yan with his backhand.

Seeing this, Bai Yan held Zhan Lu in his hand, and after blocking the man's slash with his sword body as a wall, he counterattacked with all his elbow and hit the man from top to bottom.

The man instinctively raised his hand to block it, but under the huge force, he still made his face hit hard, leaning on the wooden door, the man who was in pain came back to his senses, and saw that Bai Yan didn't know when, holding up the sword with both hands, and slashed down with a sword.

The man held his sword to block again, and this continuous close attack caught the man off guard, and he didn't have time to resist with all his strength, and soon his shoulder was slashed by the sword.

The man in pain had already realized at this time that he was not Bai Yan's opponent, and the madness before death made the man look inside the carriage, and the woman in the exquisite uniform was in a heart, and hurriedly pounced in pain.

However, before the man could exert his strength, he felt as if his foot was tripping.

After falling to the ground, the man's heart was full of despair, and then he suddenly instinctively snorted, blood suddenly appeared in his mouth, and his eyes looked at the woman who was close at hand.

"Ahhh!!h

Amid the woman's panicked screams, the man slowly fell to the ground with his eyes open, and stopped moving.

When the woman's face turned pale and she finally came back to her senses, she trembled, and then she saw a young man in front of her, wearing the official uniform of the Qin State, holding a sword in his backhand, and reaching out towards her with his other hand.

Looking at the man who had died on the ground, thinking of Fang Cai's scene, where did the woman dare to stay here, she hurriedly stretched out her slender hand to the man who had just saved her.

Outside the carriage.

After Bai Yan took Concubine Hanzi out of the carriage, he looked at the guards who had killed all the assassins and stepped forward to protect Concubine Hanzi, and looked at the palace guards who were belatedly in the palace gate, so he let go of Concubine Hanzi's hand, raised his hand, and when he walked towards Tian Wei and the others, he held Zhan Lu in one hand, and raised his other hand, wiped the blood stains on his sleeve with Zhan Lu, and after repeating it a few times, he put it into the scabbard.

"Are there any injuries?"

Tian Wei looked at Bai Yan who came and asked.

Seeing Bai Yan's body, Fei Hanzi ignored the other guards, her face was pale, and she ran with Bai Yan full of fear, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Previously, the little sister did not deal with Fei Hanzi, and even deceived Fei Hanzi privately after King Qi deliberately married Fu Hanzi to Bai Yan.

Now Bai Yan is in the hands of the assassin and saves Concubine Hanzi.

Come to think of it.

Tian Wei couldn't help but shake his head, in the future, she Hanzi was afraid that she would hate her little sister to death.

"No problem!"

Bai Yan looked at Tian Wei, saw the concerned eyes of Tian Dan, Tian Rong, Tian Xie and others, smiled, and signaled that it was okay.

When he saw Tian Dan, Tian Xie and others breathing a sigh of relief, and saluted to Yu Hanzi, Bai Yan turned around and looked at the girl who had just been saved behind him.

Bai Yan looked at Fei Hanzi, and Fei Hanzi also looked at Bai Yan intently.

What Fang just experienced still made Fei Hanzi tremble, how desperate Fang Cai was, how profound Bai Yan's appearance was in Fei Hanzi's heart.

"Bai Yan! I've seen Princess Qi Hanzi! ”

Bai Yan saw that Fei Hanzi's eyes were hooked, and he looked at himself with flickering and frightened eyes, out of interest, after Tian Dan, Tian Wei and others saluted, he also raised his hand, which was regarded as introducing himself and giving a salute.

"White ...... Spread out! Thou art ...... Bai Yan. ”

Fei Hanzi looked at the man who was saluting, and looked at the benefactor who had just saved him.

At this moment, knowing that the benefactor in front of her was Bai Yanhou, Fu Hanzi's mind was buzzing, and the words of Tian Feiyan in the past kept coming up.

"He! Black and ugly, his temper is not good at all, he is very fierce, his face is rough, like a cow, and there are scars, and he is very murderous......"

Fei Hanzi was stunned, completely stunned, looking at Bai Yan in front of him who was young, with a delicate complexion, and an elegant and easy-going appearance.

Think of Tian Feiyan's words again!

Once, her father wanted to marry her to the man in front of her, Bai Yan, who led the troops to destroy Wei Pochu, but because of Tian Feiyan's words, she begged her father to refuse this marriage, and now, looking at the man in front of her, he is already Tian Feiyan's lover.

Concubine Hanzi finally understood that she was deceived by Tian Feiyan, and she was completely deceived!!

"Woooooo!!oo Swindler! Swindler!! Swindler!!!! ”

Fu Hanzi's frightened eyes suddenly shed tears, closed her eyes and began to cry, crying louder and louder, and finally screaming in despair, a liar, as if she had been greatly wronged.

The dominant person behind the assassination in the palace was not the Wei State and the Chu State, but the Wei Lao who planned it, and Tian Ding was secretly helping.

Many years ago, Wei Lao secretly kept dead soldiers in captivity for Bai Yan, and these are all carefully selected people at the moment, which is also the reason why martial arts are not strong.

The assassination was to provoke the contradictions between the Qi State and the Wei Chushi clan, to sow discord, and to calculate the concubine Hanzi, the favored daughter of the King of Qi, these were all designed by Wei Lao behind his back, and he did not plan to write it in the book at first.

The assassination that Bo Mushroom City was prevented also had the shadow of Wei Lao.
