Chapter 683: Civil strife in Linzi

"Ahh Yes!! I am the king of Qi...... Yes! Brother, etc...... Yes!! ”

In the night, beside the bonfire, Tian Jiao was punched and kicked by men with all his might.

An adult who lives on a sword is far from being comparable to businessmen and ordinary people, not to mention how ruthless his fists and feet will be when he uses them.

Soon, Tian Jiao, who was noble in the past and had no one in his eyes, even the strength to speak slowly weakened.

Shui Shou, who was standing next to Bai Yan, looked at this scene in a daze, looking at the big man he would never forget in his life, what came to Shui Shou's mind was the humiliation of the past, and the disability of today.

Shui Shou will never forget that day, he was beaten by a person like this, tortured in public and crippled, and almost didn't even save his life.

Thinking of his wife and parents, Shui Shou has been thinking countless times in the past, how good it would be if his legs and feet were still sharp.

"Woo woo woo ~ !!"

"Woo woo woo~!"

Immediately, under Shui Shou's gaze, one by one, the tied up Tian fake servants were lifted up with fear on their faces, kneeling on the ground, and then men came behind him, holding a sword in one hand, and then slashed down with a sword.

As one by one the servants were cut to the ground, the better ones were killed on the spot, convulsions, and finally there was no movement, and if they were unlucky, after the sword was cut off, a man would step forward to mend the knife and insert it directly from behind with a sword.

Just for a moment.

The lives of several people died in front of Shui Shou like this.

Shui Shou, who has been honest and responsible since he was a child, where has he seen this scene, when he saw a few living people, they died so tragically, his pupils were full of panic, but looking at the unfazed look of the middle brother on the side, Shui Shou calmed down.

"Brother, in the future, I will always protect my brother and sister-in-law, protect my father and mother, this revenge, can I avenge it myself?"

Bai Yan looked at the dying Tian Jiao, and handed the Zhan Lu in his hand to his brother with his backhand.

Quiet atmosphere.

Bai Yan looked at the frightened brother in front of him, looked at the elder brother's eyes, looked at Zhan Lu full of hesitation, Bai Yan did not force it, looked at Tian Jiao, and was ready to turn around and go to help his brother take revenge.

However, at the moment when he turned around and put down Zhan Lu, Bai Yan suddenly felt that a pair of hands was on the hilt of Zhan Lu's sword and also grabbed his own hand.

Looking back at his brother's actions, Bai Yan's delicate cheeks finally slowly showed a smile.

Growing up with his brother since he was a child, Bai Yan certainly hopes that his brother will be as honest as he has been since he was a child, and spoil him as a middle brother.

But the world is changing, no matter how good it is, it's in the past, and my brother can't be like that for the rest of his life.

Bai Yan can't be by his father's side all his life, and by his brother's sister-in-law's side, his brother will have to take care of his family after all, and he has to face things in the future.

"I am the brother of the King of Qi~! If you dare to kill ~ me, King Qi, I will never let you go, if you let me go......"

Tian Jiao was dying, gasping for pain, looking at Shui Shou who was holding a sword and walking step by step, his eyes were full of fear and despair, holding the last trace of hope, Tian Jiao was intimidating, identifying himself, and making promises.

However, under Tian Jia's gaze, Shui Shou held Zhan Lu, his eyes were full of panic, and he trembled, looking at Tian Jia.

One, two, three......

The men around him were holding bloody swords, and there were many men with torches, all of whom also looked at Shui Shou and looked quietly, and Bai Yan was no exception.

Finally, in the night, under everyone's gaze, Shui Shou trembled a little, and seemed to have made a decision, stepped forward with Zhan Lu in both hands, and slashed at Tian Jiao's face with a sword.

Tian Jiao finally lost his voice, and among all the people who were arrested, only Tian Jiao's favorite concubine on the side was still alive, but at this moment, his pretty face had already been frightened, and he looked at these people in front of him with a bloodless face.

Half an hour later.

Next to the stream.

The moonlight shone on the earth, Bai Yan watched his brother Shui Shou in the stream, washed his body, raised his head, and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

In my memory, the last time I was by the stream with my brother, waiting for my brother to wash up, it has been six or seven years, and when I was a child, I didn't have anything at home, except for digging bird eggs with my little uncle, I went down the river with my brother.

"Brother Yan, if the King of Qi doesn't surrender, do you really want to attack Linzi?"

While thinking about it, hearing his brother's voice, Bai Yan came back to his senses, looked at his brother standing in the stream, had recovered and looked at himself.

Bai Yan knew that his brother was worried that once he led his troops to attack Linzi, he would inevitably be hated by the Qi people, so he was silent for a moment.

"If you don't fight! Yan can't explain to the court of Qin, nor can he explain to the soldiers under his command, Li Xin, Yang Yan, Yan Mao, Hewlett-Packard, all of them will be affected for no reason, even if the court of Qin State changes generals and captures Linzi, all of them will make up for it! ”

Bai Yan explained.

Attacking Linzi will inevitably be resented by the Qi people, but if you don't fight, the crime of slacking off the war will not only be affected by Bai Yan, but also by all the generals under his command.

On the one hand, it is the righteousness of the mother country, and on the other hand, it is the love of the robe, Bai Yan can only choose the latter, not to mention that all the soldiers are born and die with him Bai Yan, even Bai Yan has to think about himself and his wife Tian Feiyan.

"Why did King Qin Yingzheng let Brother Yan lead his troops to Linzi?"

Shui Shou heard Bai Yan's words, he was silent, but he was even more puzzled, maybe in Shui Shou's eyes, the world said that King Qin Yingzheng favored Brother Yan, but if it was grace, why should he be so embarrassed, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would give it to Brother Yan.

Wouldn't it be better to change to another Qin general to lead the troops.

"Before Yan left Xianyang, the Ying clan in Guanzhong had all gathered in Xianyang City, and it seemed that they were all in the book, wanting to let King Qin divide the world. It's not just that the ministers of the court are very subtle, but also the Ying clan and the King of Qin are testing each other. ”

Bai Yan explained.

Shui Shou walked ashore from the stream, heard Bai Yan's words, shook his head, and sighed that the relationship between the big people was really complicated.

Although he didn't fully understand the meaning of the middle brother, Shui Shou could perceive that compared to the intrigue between the villagers, compared to the place outside Linzi City now, where war would break out at any time, Xianyang of the Qin State was a more complicated place for people's hearts, full of scheming and calculations, competing for their own interests.

"General, the man has been buried!"

The two leading men, at this time, came to the stream in the darkness of the night and said to Bai Yan.

In the dim night, Bai Yan nodded when he heard this, got up and took out a small bag of money from his arms and handed it to the two men.

"Take people back to Shanwu, it will be good, let everyone relax! Today's events must not be preached! ”

Bai Yan instructed.

Hearing this, the two men hurriedly nodded, saluted Bai Yan, and turned to leave.

These people are all close associates of Bai Yan and Wei Lao, Bai Yan naturally can't kill them, not to mention Tian Jiao's death, but it is not suitable to spread it at the moment, it does not mean that he needs to be so worried in the future.

Qi Wangjian, Tian Dan, Tian Rong, Gongzisheng and others will learn their origins sooner or later, and when the time comes, the matter between the elder brother and Tian Jiao will definitely not be able to hide it.

If there is no news of Tian Jiao for a year and a half, or three or five years, everyone will guess that Tian Jiao is dead, but there is no evidence.

"Brother, let's go!"

Bai Yan turned around and said to his brother Shui Shou.

Shui Shou nodded, wearing a wet suit, followed behind Bai Yan, and the two brothers walked together in the direction of the Qin army camp.

Next.

The sky became brighter, and after Bai Yan got up early, he discussed the next deployment with Wei Lao, Li Xin and others.

And the arrival of a roll of bamboo slips made Bai Yan, Wei Lao and others full of surprises.

"Heaven help Qin Guo! Tian Dan, Tian Heng and others conspired against King Qi, the matter was leaked, and King Qi ordered someone to arrest the two overnight! ”

As Bai Yan spoke, he gave the bamboo slip to Wei Lao.

Wei Lao also looked surprised after seeing the bamboo slips, and his old face was a little crying and laughing, and it seemed to be mocking, the ambition of Tian Dan, Tian Heng and others.

"I'm afraid this matter is also related to what you said to King Qi before!"

Wei Lao sighed with emotion, handed the bamboo slip to Li Xin and the others who were full of doubts on the side, and then glanced at Bai Yan.

Both the master and apprentice knew that Qi Wang Jianneng found out and guarded against it, and it was very likely that it was related to the previous reminder, and the bamboo slip given to Bai Yan before Tian Ding left was really not unimportant.

"The monarch and the ministers are suspicious, the father and son are separated, and it won't be long before the King of Qi descends to Qin."

Wei Lao's tone was a little complicated.

Once came to the Qi country, when Wei Lao was young, he often sighed about the richness of the Qi country, the prosperity of commerce, the culture of the Qi people, the hundred schools of thought, and the mutual respect between monarchs and ministers.

But right now, after seeing the scene of Qi and the intrigue between the elites of Qi State, Wei Lao also had to sigh that maybe Qi Country is destined to perish.

"The disciple plans to make an appointment with King Qi and talk to each other under the city gate!"

Bai Yan looked at Wei Lao and said.

Before in Xianyang, King Yingzheng of Qin ordered him to lead his troops south and pacify Qi as soon as possible, but for persuading King Qi to surrender, Yingzheng never mentioned any promise to King Qi, and it seemed that everything was left to Bai Yan to decide.

If he does other things, Bai Yan may hesitate, worried that he will be dissatisfied with Yingzheng and dislike Yingzheng.

But fortunately, Bai Yan still has confidence in the matter of persuading the King of Qi to surrender.

Five hundred miles of fiefdom, this is a detailed record in the history books of later generations, which also means that Yingzheng can accept this request.

Bai Yan only needs to reduce the five hundred and fifty li on the basis of these five hundred li, no matter whether the king of Qi agrees or not, Bai Yan has room to explain to Yingzheng, if the king of Qi feels that it is less, then Bai Yan can continue to talk, as for Xianyang, Bai Yan can secretly send someone to send bamboo slips to the right prime minister Feng Lao.

As long as Bai Yan didn't promise King Qi 500 li, Feng Lao could persuade Ying Zheng and let Ying Zheng personally promise King Qi a fief of 500 li.

"After experiencing the intimacy of the sect, I am afraid that the king of Qi is also unstable at this moment, not to mention that the city is full of ministers of the Qi State who intercede for Tian Dan and Tian Heng, as well as the Shi clan forces of Chu Weiyan."

Wei Lao nodded, but he also very much agreed with Bai Yan's appointment to meet King Qi.

Inside the camp of the Qin army.

With Bai Yan's order, soon five soldiers rode their horses and rushed towards Linzi City.

And just outside the gate of the Qin army's camp, a carriage slowly stopped, and two soldiers in silk clothes looked at the Qin cavalry who rode away and glanced at each other.

"It seems that these Qin horses are going to Linzi!"

Chen said.

Fu Yao nodded, and then the two of them came to the gate of the camp together, reported the origin to the Qin guards of the camp, and asked to see Bai Yan.
