Chapter 668: Five years ago, I really appreciated this person!
"Watching people in the middle of the night, who will go out in the middle of the night!"
"Not really! The people who went to visit yesterday were all drunk and unadultly, so Bai Yan estimated that he was already unconscious! ”
"Come on, don't talk so much, beware of being heard by adults!"
In the dim night, many people stood at the corner of the street in the dark night, watching the embassy from a distance, but this whole night, they basically saw the carriages sending the guests back, and they didn't see anyone in the mansion with their servants at all.
"This is the last carriage, isn't it?"
Suddenly, there was the sound of a carriage turning not far away, and two men turned their heads to look at it in the night.
With the carriage under the protection of the four servants, heading towards the embassy mansion, seeing this, several people looked at each other, but they didn't pay attention, even the man at the head of the group took the bamboo slips, counted them, and nodded, telling the others that the carriage that left last night had all returned, and the time when this carriage returned was probably the carriage that sent General Tian Wei back before.
Stationed in the embassy.
Bai Yan returned to the room, and after seeing his grandmother, Bai Yan's whole person was much more relaxed.
Soon after, the iron cavalry will go south, and Bai Yan has already told his eldest uncle to take his grandmother to leave Linzi City and return to the village for a while.
Lying on the bed, Bai Yan did not rush to wash, but needed to wait until the early morning of the second day to let the maid in the embassy prepare the bath water.
After all, last night's 'excessive drinking', getting up early to wash up will not make people suspicious, and it also let the people in the mansion know that Bai Yan was drunk all night and unconscious.
"Get out of the way!"
Bai Yan was lying beautifully, but Zhao Qiu was not happy, looking at Bai Yan who seemed to be 'unmoved', frowning, but finally crawled directly from Bai Yan.
I don't know if Zhao Qiu did it on purpose, the oblique black hair gently brushed Bai Yan's cheeks, making Bai Yan feel itchy, the woman's unique fragrance made Bai Yan, who had already experienced men and women, a little dry.
Bai Yan, who wanted to get out of the way, was also surprised when he saw Zhao Qiu stepping over him.
After all, compared with other actions, this seemingly inconspicuous move is more likely to make people feel familiar and trusted.
After watching Zhao Qiu sleep inside, Bai Yan got up and extinguished the candlelight.
Returning to the bed again, this time, Bai Yan closed his eyes, turned around, and fell asleep with his back to Zhao Qiu.
"These naked pants are uncomfortable!"
Just as Bai Yan was lying comfortably and was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt movement behind him, accompanied by Zhao Qiu's voice, Bai Yan didn't turn his head, and suddenly felt that Zhao Qiu seemed to throw something behind him.
However, it seemed that the strength was not enough, or the black shadow was too light, and in the end it did not fall outside the bed, but fell on Bai Yan's neck.
Smelling the woman's fragrance and feeling a little body temperature on it, Bai Yan looked surprised, and then picked up the black shadow on his neck with a smile, and couldn't help but complain in his heart whether Zhao Qiu did it on purpose.
Nude pants!!
If other men learn that these pants belong to Zhao Qiu, it is estimated that they will not be able to help but use them to do some bad things after they arrive.
Zhao Qiu really didn't know if he really didn't know or not, what this move meant, feeling the heat brought by age in his heart, Zhao Qiu's appearance appeared in his mind, and Bai Yan tried hard to force himself to calm down.
If Zhao Qiu didn't mean it, Bai Yan wouldn't believe it.
After secretly scolding the goblin, Bai Yan once again relied on his concentration, put away his naked pants, and closed his eyes.
Bai Yan swore in his heart that when he left the embassy tomorrow and found a place to live, he would sleep in a separate room with Zhao Qiu for everything, because he had just arrived at the embassy's mansion tonight, and he had to hide it from others by pretending to be drunk, and he also needed Zhao Qiu to help in the same room, for various reasons, he had to sleep in the same room with Zhao Qiu again.
At the beginning, Bai Yan thought that it would be the same as the good thing in Yanmen before, Zhao Qiu and him slept separately, and no one would disturb the other.
I never thought about it......
"Go get me the naked pants I'm wearing!"
Bai Yan, who finally calmed down, suddenly felt a foot again, and gently kicked himself in the back in the bed.
Sensing this move, Bai Yan almost wanted to go crazy, Bai Yan, who had experienced the affairs of men and women, and knew the taste, had long since lost his former concentration, especially Zhao Qiu's actions, which were easy to make people think about it.
"Go to bed early!"
Bai Yan held on to his strength, and in the night, he took Zhao Qiu's naked pants to Zhao Qiu.
In the dimness, on the quiet bed, Zhao Qiu raised his hand, and after taking the pants, he noticed that Bai Yan's breathing was a little short, and his tone was a little panicked, and for a while, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
"Sleep! The smell of wine, stay away from me! ”
After Zhao Qiu put on his naked pants in the futon, he turned over and faced inside, and after a few breaths, he felt that the man behind him was also lying down, his breathing gradually stabilized, and the corners of Zhao Qiu's mouth rose more and more.
There was silence all around.
Zhao Qiu, who was lying down, suddenly raised his hand and gently stroked a small cloth bag, which was very small and small, and the fabric was also very rough, and there were only two coins in it.
In the past, let alone two coins, even two hundred coins Zhao Qiu would not take a second look!
But at this time, Zhao Qiu's slender hand, after stroking it, grabbed the small money bag tightly and put it next to the pillow, and all that appeared in his eyes were the scenes he saw tonight, Bai Yan, and the old woman.
Zhao Qiu was very curious about what Tian Feiyan looked like.
For the first time, Zhao Qiu was so curious about a woman, and he also wanted to see the beauty who had heard the name countless times.
Day 2.
Bai Yan got up early, looked at Zhao Qiu who was still sleeping in the bed, and asked the maids in the mansion to prepare their washing things.
Bai Yan, who was wearing the official uniform of the Qin State, had just come to the study, and saw Mao Jiao, Wei Lao, Corpse Cheng, and Shen Lao, all talking in the study.
"Mao Shangqing! Old Wei, old corpse, old Shen! ”
Bai Yan came to the study and bowed to several people in turn.
In addition to Wei Lao, Mao Jiao, Corpse Cheng and others all bowed to Bai Yan and returned the salute, seeing Bai Yan, Mao Jiao's heart was full of emotion, Mao Jiao had never thought that Wei Lao, who Yingzheng had always wanted to find, was actually by Bai Yan's side.
Thinking that Tian Ding was already Bai Yan's father-in-law, and now Bai Yan's position in Ying Zheng's heart, coupled with Wei Lao's words yesterday, Mao Jiao no longer had the idea of telling Ying Zheng.
Now that he is old, from the busy place of Qin State and the constraints of various laws and regulations, he has returned to his mother country of Qi again, and during this time in Qi State, Mao Jiao has gradually given up the idea of returning to Xianyang.
Even now, with the annexation of the Qin State, it has gradually become the center of power in the entire world!
Xianyang is no longer the original Xianyang, and the Qin State is no longer the original Qin State, which is Mao Jiao's biggest feeling after watching the world in the Qi State.
In Xianyang at that time, the monarchs and ministers were single-minded, and they wanted to go east, and the Yingzheng of that year, in the face of Qin's civil strife, there were many countries, and countless talents were needed.
"My lord, Concubine Li and Princess Hanzi, please see you outside the mansion!"
In the study, Bai Yan looked at the bamboo slips, Mao Jiao introduced them to Bai Yan, all of them were the guests who wanted to visit, the origin and background of each guest, and the marriage connections of the scholars, who wanted to see and which people could be put aside, but Mao Jiao didn't say long before he saw the next person hurriedly come to report.
"Concubine Li? Concubine Hanzi? It seems that I came to thank you for drawing your sword to save me yesterday! ”
Mao Jiao was a little surprised when he heard that Concubine Li and Concubine Hanzi came to visit, and then looked at Bai Yan and laughed.
"I heard that the king of Qi originally intended to marry you with Concubine Hanzi, but for some reason, Concubine Hanzi repented and begged King Qi to dispel his thoughts! Otherwise, I am afraid that the person who is marrying you now is not the daughter of Tian Ding, but the daughter of King Qi! ”
Mao Jiao said with a smile.
Wei Lao and the corpse Cheng were talking, discussing something, listening to Mao Jiao's words, his eyes looked at Bai Yan with deep meaning, his expression was a little proud, and he was also a little relieved, as if he was very sure of something.
"Invite Concubine Li and Princess Qi into the mansion!"
Mao Jiao commanded to the servant.
Bai Yan watched the servant go out, and inadvertently, saw the teacher's gaze.
"The old man is inconvenient for outsiders to know!"
Wei Lao said softly.
After all, Wei Lao has a lot of connections and prestige in the Qi Kingdom, and if he is known by the relatives of the Qi State, other scholars, and even those old men in the Jixia School Palace, it is indispensable to find him.
At that time, not only will there be more trouble, but it will be Bai Yan's matter, and in the end, everyone will be implicated in Wei Lao.
Wei Lao didn't want to cause trouble, how good it was to be quiet, especially since King Yingzheng of Qin had also recruited him to serve in the court of Qin.
"The disciple went out to see Concubine Li and Princess Qi!"
Bai Yan raised his hand and saluted Wei Lao, and then after Wei Lao nodded, he saluted Mao Jiao and the others, and then turned around and left the study.
A moment later.
Under the leadership of the servant, Concubine Hanzi, who had a relationship with Bai Yan yesterday, followed behind a beautiful woman with a beautiful appearance, and the whole person seemed to be carefully dressed, and gradually came to Bai Yan.
"Bai Yan, I've seen Concubine Li, I've seen Princess Qi!"
Bai Yan was under the pavilion and saluted Concubine Li and Concubine Hanzi.
For Concubine Li, Bai Yan has heard of it very early, and she is the most favored concubine of King Qi, but since Queen Qi is not alive in childbirth, Concubine Li is the master of the harem of King Qi's palace.
"Concubine Li, I've seen Wu Liejun!"
Concubine Li returned the salute to Bai Yan, looking at Bai Yan's face, to be honest, in the country of Qi, Bai Yan's appearance can only be regarded as delicate, Concubine Li has seen too many beautiful men, and she has also seen too many young people who are talented and full of arrogance.
Thinking of Fu Hanzi's repeated praise for Bai Yan yesterday, praising him for being young, handsome, and temperamentally far surpassing others, that is, those beautiful men and the bachelors of Jixia School Palace cannot be compared, it seems that there is no one else in Fei Hanzi's eyes except Bai Yan.
Concubine Li, who has always been curious about what kind of man Bai Yan is, is very disappointed when she meets now, to be honest.
Bai Yan, who has a face, can indeed only be regarded as delicate, and as for her temperament, Concubine Li really can't see it.
"Concubine Hanzi, I've seen Wu Liejun, thank you Wu Liejun for saving me yesterday!"
Concubine Hanzi returned the salute to Bai Yan, her small cheeks were red, her eyes looked at Bai Yan, like a frightened rabbit, and hurriedly moved away.
"What a lot of effort!"
Bai Yan nodded softly and said casually.
Concubine Li looked at the appearance of Concubine Hanzi beside her, and shook her head helplessly, she really couldn't figure it out, in addition to her identity and reputation, where could she see the words that Concubine Hanzi praised in front of her yesterday.
Looking at Concubine Hanzi who had just come over after dressing up, Concubine Li smiled bitterly, and then didn't bother to pay attention to Concubine Hanzi, Concubine Li came over this time, and it was also instructed by the King of Qi to see if she could knock on the side to find out Bai Yan's origin, and whether she could persuade Bai Yan to return to Qi to serve.
"What a wreck! Wu Liejun's words make people admire Wu Liejun's open-mindedness! ”
Concubine Li said with a smile, with a smile on her face, and then the smile dissipated, and she looked helplessly at the concubine beside her.
"It's a pity that before, Wang Shang intended to marry Hanzi to Wu Liejun, but he never thought that Hanzi was young, ignorant of the world, and was deceived by the clansmen, and finally ......"
Concubine Li said, looking at the mention of this matter, Concubine Hanzi looked aggrieved, her eyes were red, and then she turned her head to look at Bai Yan.
"Now Wu Liejun returned to Qi and saved Hanzi, if Wu Liejun does not give up, it is better to let Hanzi take Wu Liejun to a hunting outing in a few days, some time ago Gongzi Sheng left Linzi, presumably he just returned to Linzi at that time, Gongzi Sheng has always admired Wu Liejun, there is Gongzi Sheng, Jucheng, Dongyang, Langya, Taishan, these places can be gone, Chunyu, Yuanlin beauty is also commendable!"
Concubine Li seemed to be smiling and said, but after the words fell, a touch of surprise and surprise in her eyes was fleeting.
Serving the King of Qi all the year round, in addition to Concubine Li's delicate face, the most powerful thing is to understand the mind of the King of Qi, and the color of her eyes is the most important thing, and the places just mentioned are all directions of the Qi Kingdom.
It stands to reason that no matter which direction Bai Yan is in, as long as he mentions the most famous places in those directions, Bai Yan's eyes will instinctively fluctuate in the slightest.
No matter how subtle it is, ordinary people can't see it, but Concubine Li, who has been deep in the harem for many years, is the best at observing words and feelings, and it is impossible for Bai Yan to notice any fluctuation in her heart.
Odd!!!
Concubine Li thought to herself, very puzzled.
"This time I came to the Qi country, it was on the order of the king of Qin, and I couldn't bear to point fingers at the Qin and Qi soldiers, so Bai Yan didn't dare to be careless, after Han Wei and Chu destroyed the country, countless high-ranking officials and magnates came to the Qi country, even the Yan country in the north, the same is true, Bai Yan is worried, these forces are intertwined, and the scholars are numerous, once they collude with the scholars in Qi, even if the king of Qi intends to stop fighting, there is nothing they can do!"
Bai Yan raised his hand to salute, politely declined Concubine Li's invitation, and then saluted Concubine Hanzi, signaling that something important was on his body.
"Wu Liejun is worried, the country of Qi is rich in business, and the country has contacts with the station all the year round, and the scholars have arrived in Qi, it is no longer a day or two, and the king of Qi is there, so there is no need to worry about thieves and chaos."
Concubine Li explained with a smile, signaling Bai Yan to think more.
However, between Concubine Li's eyebrows, the fleeting frown had only been noticed by Bai Yan.
"This time is different from the past, if it was a year ago, Bai Yanzi would not have doubted it, but now there is ...... in the territory of Qi State."
As Bai Yan spoke, he suddenly sighed and stopped talking, making Concubine Li frown, but at this time, Bai Yan didn't seem to want to talk about these things anymore.
"That's it! Bai Yan only hopes that in the future, between Qin and Qi, when the army will no longer be marching, although Bai Yan is Qin, Bai Yan is also a Qi person, Bai Yan does not want to see the Qi State again as it was decades ago, the territory is divided, the Qi people mourn, the countries play music, the Qi people have no clothes, and the countries drink bitterly. ”
When Bai Yan said this, he turned his head and looked out of the pavilion.
And when she heard Bai Yan's words, not to mention Concubine Li, she was an uncomfortable concubine, and when she heard Bai Yan's words, she couldn't help but look at Bai Yan.
The Bai Yan in front of him is a Qi person!
And Bai Yan's worries came from the scholars of the various countries, that is, the scholars of Han Wei and Chuyan.
After listening to Bai Yan's words, Concubine Hanzi couldn't help but subconsciously remember that when the Qi State was destroyed, it was indeed the Hanwei, Chuyan, and Yan countries that carved up the land of the Qi State, or rather, it was the scholars who came to the Qi State now, and the fathers and ancestors of those scholars snatched it on this land.
And now, the descendants of those scholars who robbed wealth and raped and plundered in Qi in the past have once again come to the country of Qi.
But thinking of this, even Concubine Hanzi couldn't help but have a thought in her mind, the current situation, how do you feel that those scholars of Han Wei and Yanchu used another means to occupy the territory of Qi again.
…………………………………………
"My lord, it's just ahead!"
When Bai Yan was talking with Concubine Li and Concubine Hanzi, in a mountain road, an official wearing the official uniform of the State of Qi, followed by a dozen or so officials, walked all the way to the front.
Looking at the little official leading the way in front, the officials of Qi State sighed helplessly, looked at the dense forests around them, and sighed that this road was really difficult to walk.
"Ling Shi, it's here, it's in front!"
After walking for a while, with the words of the little official, the elderly Ling Shi finally saw a village.
Because there was a familiar official to lead the way, Ling Shi and his party quickly found the old man in the village and asked if there was a young man named Yan in this village.
Speaking of the name.
Not to mention other small officials, it is to make Shi Du full of emotion, who would have thought that a son of a farmer who was inconspicuous and not enough for them to remember his name would actually come to find it today, and what is even more amazing is that this order is still from the King of Qi.
Ling Shi was also glad that another subordinate vaguely remembered that the son of a farmer was from a village outside Linzi City, otherwise relying on a single word, wanting to find someone in Linzi, which is crowded with people, is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Even if you find someone with the same name and surname, it is estimated that there are many, many people, after all, a farmer's son who doesn't even have a surname, just one name, it's too easy to repeat, and it sounds troublesome.
Murachi.
Under the inquiry of the little official, the old man in the village, called Lu, saw Ling Shi and his party, bent over in fear, and his old body walked much faster, and took Ling Shi and his party towards Xiao's house.
In the water village, many villagers saw so many officials, and they all immediately started talking, and more and more villagers followed behind.
It is human nature to watch the excitement, after all, it is none of your business, no matter what happens to others, you can boast and chat with others in the future, so I saw so many officials go to the house of the Xiao family.
Not to mention that the people in the village who got the news all took their children to watch, and even the busy men in the fields also put down what they were doing and went to Xiao's house.
In the small courtyard of the Xiao family.
Yan's father, Xiao Shi, Shui Shou and others, looking at Ling Shi and his party, stood in the courtyard full of panic and anxiety, and were a little at a loss.
Hearing that these people were all here to inquire about Yan'er, Xiao's heart was full of uneasiness, for fear that it was bad news for Yan'er, Xiao's who had never seen such a big official, and he didn't understand what position the official in front of him was, how big an official he was, and in the face of inquiry, he could only tell Yan'er's affairs.
Fortunately, in the next village, in the village of Shou'er's grandfather, there was a person named Wu, who had seen Bai Yan, and it seemed that Bai Yan appeared in Yangxia, followed by a man surnamed Shen.
"Left five years ago? Not in Qi now? Summer, fog? ”
When Ling Shi heard Xiao's words, he looked at his honest and responsible father, looked at Xiao, and frowned.
This is the order of the king of Qi, saying that no matter what, he must find the son of the farmer and find the tomb of Tian Jin.
"Have you ever heard of Na Yan, where are the corpses usually buried in the suburbs?"
Ling Shi asked with a serious face, it was about Tian Jin, and Ling Shi didn't dare to be sloppy, especially when Ling Shi vaguely heard some rumors, which was likely to be related to Wu Liejun Bai Yan.
After all, Bai Yan had just returned to the Qi Kingdom, and the King of Qi was in a hurry to search for Tian Jin's bones.
“……”
Listening to Ling Shi's words, Yan Father and Xiao Shi glanced at each other, then looked at Ling Shi and shook their heads.
Burying the corpse is a taboo thing, and they didn't ask Yan'er at the beginning, let alone ask in detail.
"My lord, but what happened to Yan'er?"
Xiao Shi looked at Ling Shi, who was frowning more and more, and even sighed, and asked with red eyes.
Listening to the courtyard outside, countless villagers who were officials kept whispering, saying that Yan'er must have committed something big and might be wanted, listening to those words, Xiao Shi was also panicked with fear in his heart, and his eyes were full of tears.
At this time, Xiao's heart was full of sadness, full of worries about his second son, he was looked down upon by the people in the village since he was a child, and now listening to the words of those villagers outside the courtyard, Xiao's was really afraid.
I'm afraid that something will really happen to the second son.
"I am the history of the Qi State Order, this time is because of some things five years ago, I need to ask Ruzi in person, if there is news, remember to go to Linzi to inform me!"
Ling Shi looked at the nervous and tearful Xiao Shi, and also heard the discussion of the surrounding villagers, and was originally irritable, but a little pitiful Xiao Shi, so he explained.
Thinking that it was very likely that he would send someone to Yangxia to look for it, Ling Shi knew that this matter must be returned to Linzi immediately and reported to the King of Qi, so he turned around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
"It's my lord, there is news, the woman will go and inform my lord!"
Listening to the sound of gratitude behind him, Ling Shi didn't take it to heart, but suddenly he heard some villagers exclaim outside the courtyard.
"Ahh Ling Shi? ”
"Ling Shi, is it the adult who lied to his family before, got Ling Shi's appreciation, and followed him to Yicheng?"
Hearing the words of the villagers, Ling Shi was a little puzzled, he didn't understand what the villagers meant by these words, what was it to deceive his family?
After thinking about it, Ling Shi still ordered an official to ask clearly.
Soon, under Ling Shi's gaze, a villager was brought over, pointed to the couple behind him in front of everyone, and told the story of the Yan who deceived the couple at the beginning.
"Five years ago, I took you to Wing City?"
Ling Shi listened to the words of the villagers, and after learning what had happened, his eyes were full of surprise, he turned his head and looked at the woman with tears on her face behind her, and suddenly understood why the woman was so anxious and wanted to know the news of the young man.
That young man, although he came from a humble background, was also a very filial man.
"Although I didn't take him to Yicheng, but five years ago, in Linzi, I did appreciate this person, and this matter is true! If there is news in the village, go to Linzi to find me! ”
Ling Shi said softly, perhaps out of kindness, or out of emotion.
Subsequently, under the gaze of countless villagers outside the courtyard, Ling Shi walked straight towards the outside of the courtyard, and seeing this, one by one the little officials hurriedly followed left and right, and walked outside together.
Outside the fence, hearing Ling Shi's words, the villagers who were officials suddenly boiled, this is Lord Ling Shi, who personally said that he appreciated Na Yan at the beginning, this is what they saw with their own eyes and heard with their own ears.
Come to think of it.
For a while, all the villagers, regardless of men, women, old and young, especially those women, couldn't help but glance at each other, and looked at Xiao Shi and Yan Father with envy.
This is Lord Lingshi! Not to mention them, they are the old people in charge of the village, who have never been in contact with them in their lives, let alone be able to say a few words.
And Yan, who can actually be appreciated by Ling Shi, really don't know what shit luck he has taken!
If you come back in the future, there is an adult of such status who appreciates it, I am afraid that when I am old, I will no longer worry about food and clothing.
Outside the yard.
The more the villagers thought about it, the more envious they became, especially some women looking at their children, originally they were still thinking about whether something was wrong here, and came to see the excitement, but they didn't wake up but it made their eyes red.
However, there are also some women who are full of sour taste and say, who knows whether Na Yan is dead or alive now, and Yan is back, and he doesn't know the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, and he may not even come back.
