Chapter 685: Contact with the Qi Di Shi Clan
When Bai Yan returned to the small garden, he saw that the small garden was full of people.
When the men of the scholar clan saw Bai Yan, they were stunned at first, but after seeing Bai Yan's lord, they hurriedly saluted Bai Yan enthusiastically.
"Wu Liejun! This is Sang Gongmian ......"
Chen Ze and Fu Yao also hurriedly walked to Bai Yan's side, just like they had introduced everyone to Shui Shou before, and once again introduced the people who came to Bai Yan one by one.
With Chen Ze and Fu Yao's words, Bai Yan enthusiastically returned the salute with everyone.
Inside the garden.
In the lively atmosphere, different from the previous Shui Shou, after seeing Bai Yan, Bai Yan's words and deeds at this moment, everyone saw it in their eyes, and they didn't dare to let go of any detail.
"Yan'er, you entertain all the adults!"
When the Xiao family saw Bai Yan come back, they were also relieved, knowing that everyone was here for their second son, so the Xiao family no longer got involved.
As a woman, Xiao has never seen so many big people, not to mention Yan's father and eldest son Shui Shou, it is herself, her palms and body are sweaty, and she dare not have the slightest negligence.
"Mother-in-law go rest first!"
Bai Yan nodded.
"You have come to Bai Yan's former residence today, the former residence is extremely simple, I hope you are not strange!"
Bai Yan looked at the mother who left, smiled, and then turned his head to scan the scholar men standing in the courtyard, as well as some Qi officials, and said.
Looking at some old men shaking their heads, indicating that they didn't care, Bai Yan turned his head and instructed the soldiers on the side to bring in the prepared wine and food and wooden table.
"Although it is a burrow, Bai Yan also has thin wine for you, you are here, if you have the opportunity, if Bai Yan can enter Linzi City one day, he will definitely be in Linzi City, and then prepare the best wine in Linzi, and invite you! Make up for today's mistakes! ”
Bai Yan said to everyone, watching the wooden tables being carried in by the soldiers, and the soldiers behind them also put all the fine wine and good meat they brought on the wooden tables.
Although compared to the delicacies of the mountains and seas in Linzi City, the wine and food in front of him are not comparable, but this is enough to express his heart, not to mention that Bai Yan also personally promised that when he enters Linzi City, he will definitely entertain everyone.
"Thank you, Wu Liejun!"
"Thank you Wu Liejun!!"
The people of the scholar clan obviously didn't expect Bai Yan to go to such great lengths and prepare wine and meat for them, so they saluted Bai Yan one after another and came behind the wooden table.
Coming all the way from outside the mountain, and there is no place to sit here, there have always been men of the scholar clan who are dressed in fine clothes and fine food, and there are many people with sore legs and feet, and now after they can get rest, it can be seen that many people have breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wu Liejun has a word, he will enter the city one day and set up a banquet again! Xu Ni wanted to ask, Wu Liejun is now a great good man of the Qin State, and his subordinates are the elite of the Qin State, and Wu Liejun entered the city......"
Behind the wooden table, a man who knelt down said to Bai Yan, then glanced at the others around him, and looked at Bai Yan again.
"Dare to ask Wu Liejun! If Wu Liejun enters the city, is he alone, or is the Qin army riding together, if the Qin army is riding into the city, can there be Qi in Linzi City? So...... We are all people, how can we talk about a wine banquet? ”
Xu Ni asked.
Hearing Xu Ni's words, whether it was the scholar man who knelt down and sat down, or the other men who watched Qin pawn move the tables and chairs and prepare to kneel, they all looked at Bai Yan.
Obviously, everyone wanted to see how Bai Yan would answer this question.
"Xu Jun said it was funny!"
Bai Yan came to the front of the wooden house, outside the eaves, behind a wooden table for the main seat, knelt down, heard Xu Nickel's words, smiled and looked at Xu Nickel, and then raised a hand and looked at everyone.
"You are all famous families with names and surnames in Qi, even if Bai Yan leads the iron horse into Linzi, how can there be no one of you to say, if this is the case, don't say that Bai Yan is a Qi person, he can't go in his heart, and he has no face to see you, even if the King of Qin learns about it, I'm afraid he will also scold or punish Bai Yan!"
Bai Yan said to everyone with a wry smile, and after watching the words fall, all the men of the scholar clan, even Xu Ni's tense expressions, eased a little, and Bai Yan laughed when he saw this.
"Qi country, 800 years of inheritance, Qi wine brewing, is the world's reputation, and Linzi is the capital of Qi, the wine is fragrant and beautiful, who in the world does not know! Bai Yan entered the city, but the King of Qin looked at the wine of Linzi, whether it was as fascinating as the rumors. ”
Bai Yan suddenly shook his head when he said this, sighed, picked up the wine jug on the wooden table in front of him, and poured himself a glass.
"No matter how beautiful the wine is, the King of Qin lives far away in Xianyang, and he no longer tastes it every day, and the beauty in Linzi City is fragrant, and it is also separated from Xianyang, thousands of miles away, and the end of the world is on its own! Bai Yan is puzzled, this place is a Qi land, even if everything changes, but you are all Qi people, this Linzi wine, why can't you say that you can't be seated! ”
After Bai Yan poured the wine, he put down the wine jug, and without waiting for everyone to speak, he looked at everyone and smiled.
"Bai Yan can't enter the city, and he can live for a long time, not to mention, compared to Wei Chuyan who migrated to the city in the past! Think about it, the wine brewed in Linzi City, they can drink it as much as possible, the beauty of Linzi City, you can also taste its fragrance, no matter how few restaurants in Linzi City, there is also a place for them, that is, the mansions in Linzi City, they can also live for a long time, everyone is not worried about Wei Chuyan three Shi clan, doves occupy the magpie's nest, and get all the wine, why prevent Bai Yan from being together! ”
Bai Yan looked at the faces of the men of the Qidi clan in the small garden without a trace, and then laughed, raised the wine lord with both hands, and raised it to face everyone.
"Look, behind Bai Yan, there are Bai Yan's parents, eldest brother and sister-in-law! Look around, this is the former residence where Bai Yan grew up! Although he eats Qin Lu and is in the frontier of Yanmen, Bai Yan is also the same as you, he is a Qi person who grew up drinking the water of the Qi River! This glass of wine is Bai Yan's body as a Qi person, respect to you! ”
Bai Yan looked at the men who were stunned, and then after coming back to their senses, the men of the scholar clan were busy pouring wine and raising the wine lord.
After everyone picked up the wine, Bai Yan motioned to drink the wine in the cup together.
Inside the garden.
Chen Ze and Fu Yao also knelt behind the wooden table, raised their cuffs, drank the wine, and then put down the wine, looked at Bai Yan's appearance, thought of Bai Yan's words, and then glanced at the other scholars The expressions of the men gradually relaxed, and a smile slowly appeared on their faces, and they couldn't help but look at each other and nodded.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ze and Fu Yao couldn't help but glance at each other, their eyes full of satisfaction.
This trip is false to say that they are not tired, and many scholars have never seen Bai Yan before, but they have all heard that Bai Yan slaughtered the scholars in Yanmen, and they have concerns in their hearts.
The Qin army rode south, and everyone wanted to see Bai Yan and find out the attitude of Bai Yan and the Qin State, but at the beginning, everyone just planned to send people to ask to see Bai Yan!
It was the two of them who kept wandering, made promises in person, and guaranteed them with their families, so that this person made up his mind to come to see Bai Yan in person.
Chen Ze and Fu Yao both knew that compared to the other clansmen of these clans, these people in front of them were the people in the clan who could really call the shots, and the basic major matters could only be achieved by talking to them and making up their minds.
"What Wu Liejun said is true! Think about it, in the past few years, the foreign scholars, living in Linzi for a long time, continue to develop, a few years ago Linzi City, is the land of Qi people, but today, who else dare to say that Linzi is the capital of Qi people? ”
After Fu Yao and Chen Ze looked at each other, they took the initiative to say when everyone put down the wine.
Chen Ze also nodded.
"As far as I heard, in Linzi City, in the past few years, the old Qi clan in Linzi City who have been persecuted by Chu Weiyan and other foreign clans in collusion with each other has no less than dozens, ranging from private fights and grudges, to robbing people and seizing houses, swallowing buildings, Linzi is no longer the Linzi of the past, the king does not care, Qi ministers are fornicated, and the Qi people are cold! If you go on like this, after Linzi, it will be the city where you are, and the invasion of foreign tribes will be your residence. ”
Chen Ze also echoed.
Bai Yan knelt behind the wooden table, and when he heard the words of Fu Yao and Chen Ze, his heart was full of smiles, and there were his own people inside the enemy, and this feeling was cool.
Looking at the men of the scholar clan with a worried look on their faces, Bai Yan knew that his words with Fu Yao and Chen Ze were in the hearts of these scholars.
From the matter of drinking, it has been led to Linzi and Qi Kingdom, and everyone in Xiaoyuan knows that the words have been said here, and if there is anything now, they will say it directly, and there is no need to hide it.
"Wu Liejun, if the Qin people get the Qi land, what is the difference between them and the Chu, Wei and Yan clans?"
Zhan Maoshen and Yu Dou glanced at each other, took the initiative to look at Bai Yan and said, bluntly said that the Qin people entered Linzi, or the Qi country was destroyed, what good would it do for them.
"Yes! Wu Liejun, although the clan of Chu Wei Yan occupies Linzi, but the king of Qi is still the king of our Qi people, no matter what, he will be inclined to our Qi people, if one day, the Qin people ......"
Lu Hui also looked at Bai Yan and asked.
All the men of the scholar clan in the small garden cheered up and looked at each other, and then quieted down, and their eyes looked at Bai Yan one after another.
Chen Ze and Fu Yao also looked at Bai Yan with some concern at this time, they both knew that this issue was very important, whether they could win over the scholars in other cities in Qidi depended on whether the promise made by the Qin State to these scholars could make these scholars move.
But on the contrary, this request is almost impossible to answer, after all, Bai Yan is not the king of Qin, so naturally it is impossible to make a big promise, even if he promises a lot, the other scholars can't believe it.
This fell into a dead circle, Bai Yan's promise was low, and these famous families in Qi were naturally dissatisfied, and if the promise was high, they would not believe it.
"Just what Mr. Chen said, you should have heard of it!"
Bai Yan said, after glancing at Chen Ze, looking at Chen Ze and Fu Yao's worried eyes looking at him, Bai Yan gave the two of them a reassuring look.
Eyes swept around, looking at the middle-aged men, the old man nodded, he knew what Chen Zefang meant, Bai Yan thought about it.
"Bai Yan asks you to think about it again, why did the three clans of Chu Wei and Yan come to Qi because they were afraid of the Qin State, and why did the King of Qi connive at the three clans of Chu, Wei and Yan was also afraid of the Qin State! Imagine, for these three scholars, can King Qin rest assured and let them continue to stay in Qidi? Imagine it, Bai Yan, who led the troops to destroy Wei Pochu, can sit back and watch, and the three scholars will grow again? ”
Bai Yan poured himself a second glass of wine at this time, and then looked at everyone.
"The King of Qi ignores it, what is the difference between the King of Qi and the King of Qin, on the other hand, compared to the King of Qi, whether it is the King of Qin or Bai Yan, they will not sit idly by and watch the three Shi clans devour the land of Qi, and become a hidden danger again!"
Bai Yan picked up the wine glass with both hands and looked at everyone.
"You can remember, Qin destroyed Zhao and Wei, and used more local officials!"
Bai Yan looked at these people in front of him meaningfully.
In Xiaoyuan, with Bai Yan's words, whether it was Zhan Maoshen, Yu Dou and others, or Lu Hui, Chen Ze and others, their eyes all lit up, and following Bai Yan's words, thinking of the future scene, where did they not know what Bai Yan meant.
That's right! If the Qin State destroys Qi, not only Bai Yan is their Qi people, but they will also help them drive away the scholars of Chu, Wei and Yan, even if they are the officials of Qi, they will continue to appoint Qi people, so that without Linzi, the so-called 'Qi Capital', for them, it will be beneficial and harmless.
Come to think of it.
One by one, the men of the scholar clan looked at each other, nodded without a trace, showed a look of satisfaction, and then picked up the wine glass, and drank with Bai Yan with a smile.
The other side.
It is different from the lively atmosphere in the small garden.
Accompanied by several Qin soldiers, they brought wine and food into the wooden house, and Yan Father and Shui Shou brought their grandfather, grandmother, and uncle to the house for dinner.
"Yan'er is really magnificent now! Since childhood! I can see that Yan'er can be promising! ”
Grandmother looked at the appearance of the Xiao family arranging for the soldiers of the Qin army to place the wine and food, and her heart was full of sourness, but when she thought of Bai Yan outside the house, she still said to the Xiao family with a smile.
"Put this, put this......"
Xiao carefully put the wine and food away, looking at a table of sumptuous wine and food, I felt distressed, in the past, the family only had a bowl of meat during the festival, and now this table is full of meat dishes, how much does it cost!
When he was distressed, when he heard Shui Shou's grandmother's words, he almost didn't lose his breath, looked at the elderly mother on the side, and almost couldn't help but refute.
Scold~! Do you see that Yan'er has a future?
Yan'er has never been treated by you as an old woman since she was a child, every time she goes to your house for dinner, your other grandchildren, no matter how big or small, eat the best, but whenever there is oil and water in the vegetable soup, let alone eat a little bit of meat foam, even if Yan'er wants to take an extra mouthful of soup, she will be discouraged, either by your grandmother, or by your grandmother.
All year round, whenever he has some savings, he uses them to buy new clothes for Zilu and other grandchildren, and even gives money to himself, on the other hand, Yan'er has never had a penny from your grandmother since she was a child.
It also shows that Yan'er can be promising!!
I really don't dislike myself for being thick-skinned, and I'm not afraid to flash my tongue when I say this!
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, the Xiao family was a little unaccustomed to the cheekiness of Shui Shou's grandmother, I thought that Ying's face was thick, and then I knew that there were more cheeky ones, but I knew the filial piety of my father, so Xiao was no longer satisfied, and I didn't argue with Shui Shou's grandmother.
"Huh, out of breath? Don't say hello to you, be a descendant! Such virtue is not afraid to spread out......"
Grandfather snorted coldly.
At this moment, the old grandfather's old face was full of dissatisfaction, but I don't know if it was intentional or a coincidence, the grandfather's voice was very small, and Bai Yan, who was talking to everyone outside the house, did not hear it.
"There are a lot of people today, Yan'er just came in, presumably because she didn't see her grandfather and grandmother, there are important things to do, so she is busy saluting everyone and discussing important matters!"
Father Yan also explained with a smile.
Zitai watched Shui Shou take Yun Han into the seat, looked at the table of good meat and vegetables in front of him, and kept swallowing saliva when he was hungry, and finally couldn't help it, he couldn't care about his parents, so he hurriedly picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate in a hurry.
"You kid!"
The grandmother saw that the third son had a mouth full of meat, and the sides of her mouth were full of oil, and she muttered a word, but her hands and feet were not slow, and she quickly picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them.
Over the years, my grandmother's family has been able to eat meat only a handful of times, let alone such a hearty amount of meat in front of them.
“……”
Seeing that the grandmother and Zitai were eating regardless of everyone, Xiao Shi was helpless, but fortunately, he was also used to the temperament of this family, so he didn't say anything, but just turned his head and asked Yun Han to quickly move his chopsticks.
Grandfather listened to the chewing sound of the two eating minced meat in his ears, the smell of meat came to his face, his Adam's apple moved, and he seemed to want to say something on his old-fashioned old face, but he didn't say anything in the end, he wanted to wait for the second son to speak, please move his chopsticks, and he never thought that the second son would be asked to bring Shu'er over to eat.
At this time, my grandfather felt empty in his stomach, and finally he couldn't help it, so he silently picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to eat the meat on the table.
………………
Under dusk.
Bai Yan and Chen stood in front of Xiao Yuan, sending the men away one by one, until all the clan members had left, Bai Yan looked back at Xiao Yuan, and more than ten wooden tables were full of scraps.
"Command the money to be carried to the camp! Let General Yang Yan arrange people to send them to Linzi City and hand them over to Qi Xiang to win! ”
Bai Yan looked at the small garden, boxes of money, and had a new understanding of the wealth of the Qi clan.
"No!"
The cronies and soldiers who had been waiting in the courtyard heard Bai Yan's words, and hurriedly gave up their orders, and then walked out of the small garden and arranged for the soldiers to go to the camp to transfer people over.
"So much is given to the posterior, but it's too cheap to win!"
Chen Ze looked surprised, and looked at the many large wooden boxes in Xiaoyuan with some reluctance.
"There are losses and gains! Bai Yan will meet Hou Yao in these two days! ”
Bai Yan looked at Chen Ze's painful appearance and smiled and comforted.
No matter how much money you have, you have to spend your life when you win! However, Bai Yan naturally couldn't say this sentence to Chen Ze.
"That's it! Now as long as the scholars in the Qi country are not in Qi, do not stop the Qin State from destroying Qi, and then persuade the king of Qi to surrender from Housheng, as long as the king of Qi surrenders, these are worth it! ”
Chen Ze looked helpless, looking at Bai Yan freely, he could only comfort himself.
In front of the wooden house.
After settling down the Shi clan, Bai Yan no longer has any worries, and in the future, whether it is for the Qi people, or the Qin State, or even for the Bai Yan family, it will be a good thing.
But before he entered the house, Bai Yan heard the voice of his grandfather's family in the house.
"Brother Zhong, we don't want more, just a few boxes of ......"
"Yes! Zhong'er! Daughter-in-law Zhong, we are all a family, how can we divide money and wealth! Besides, I don't take too much, this is full of small gardens, just take a few boxes......"
"I am your father, and I am Yan'er's grandfather, Yan'er's money, can't I take it?"
Bai Yan heard the words coming from the room and his grandfather's reprimand, sighed, looked at Chen Ze who was full of strange eyes on the side, turned his head and entered the house step by step.
Inside the house.
At the wooden table, full of wine and food, the three members of my grandfather's family, who were still aggressive, suddenly saw Bai Yan coming back, and immediately quieted down.
Bai Yan looked at her mother, who was a little angry on her cheeks, and then looked at her father's embarrassed appearance, turned her head, and looked at her uncle, grandmother, and grandfather.
Quiet atmosphere.
Seeing Bai Yan's gaze, for some reason, both uncle and grandmother were a little scared, even the grandfather, who was originally hard, and his old face gradually showed an uneasy look.
After all, after learning that Shui Yan is now Bai Yan, everyone knows that the teenager they once despised and looked down on has not only killed people in the past few years, but also killed many, many people.
"Yan'er ......"
Yan's father noticed Bai Yan's gaze, but before he could speak, he saw Bai Yan saluting his grandfather.
"Grandfather, grandfather really can't get the money outside!"
Bai Yan said softly.
After saluting, looking at his grandfather who was looking sideways, and looking at his grandfather's old face, full of dissatisfaction, Bai Yan didn't care too much, but looked at his uncle on the side.
"Those money and wealth are all used to persuade the king of Qi to surrender, and Yan'er also intended to let her uncle serve as the envoy of Qin, go to the palace of Linzi, and persuade the king of Qi to surrender! can be considered that in Linzi City, countless people of the scholar clan have a hatred for destroying the country and killing relatives with Bai Yan, so Bai Yan gave up, worried that his brother would repeat his uncle's incident! ”
As Bai Yan spoke, he looked at his uncle, who was full of excitement and his eyes lit up when he heard the first half of the sentence, and when he said the second half of the sentence, his uncle's face became pale with the naked eye.
Seeing this, Bai Yan turned to look at his grandfather and grandfather.
"If my grandfather and grandmother want to, Bai Yan can also let my uncle serve as the envoy of Qin and go to the palace to persuade the King of Qi to surrender!"
Bai Yan said with good words, but just as the words fell, he heard his uncle on the side and hurriedly waved his hand.
"King Qi's persuasion is a big deal, how can my uncle take it, if he misses a big thing, my uncle will feel guilty!"
Uncle hurriedly waved his hand, looking at Bai Yan and refusing, for fear that Bai Yan would really let him go to Linzi City.
When the grandfather and grandmother heard Bai Yan's words, they thought that the eldest son was dead, and they didn't like the second son, not to mention that the family had been separated, and only the third son was left.
While thinking about it, my grandfather and grandmother glanced at each other, and their faces softened.
However, my grandmother thought that there was so much money outside, and she was really unwilling not to take a little, so she looked at Bai Yan.
"Yan'er! Take a box, no, half a box of head office! After all, there are so many ......"
Grandmother asked in a whisper.
Chen stood beside Bai Yan, looked at Fu Yao who entered the room, and shook his head slightly at Fu Yao who looked curious.
Looking at the family in the house at this moment, Chen Ze's heart was full of emotion, the same family, but the gap is really big, compared to the couple who greeted the two of them back and forth when they arrived, as well as Shui Shou, and then looked at the three people who were greedy at the moment, Chen Ze couldn't help but sigh.
That is, Bai Yan, if he were another person, it is estimated that he would have turned his face and driven people away.
However, looking at Bai Yan's appearance, it was obvious that Bai Yan was worried about his father and did not embarrass his father.
"Grandmother doesn't know that in the Qin State, if there is no merit, the money taken is a violation of the Qin law, which is a serious crime! Bai Yannai is Qin Chen, he really doesn't dare, even his father and brother don't dare to keep a penny! ”
Bai Yan shook his head at his grandmother.
"Ahh Can't keep a single penny? ”
When my grandmother heard Bai Yan's words, she was stunned, and when she thought of the small garden outside, there were so many boxes of money, and Bai Yan couldn't leave a single piece of money to her family.
Thinking of this, grandmother looked at Bai Yan's Jue Ben and couldn't help but glance at Bai Yan.
If you can't leave money to your family, what's the use of Bai Yan, a great Qin country? It's not useless......
However, my grandmother thought that Bai Yan still had a fief, and I heard that there were tens of thousands of households in the food estate, and the taxes collected were even more gold, so my grandmother couldn't help but say it in her heart.
"Zihuai?"
Grandfather didn't mention the money again, but when he heard Bai Yan mention the deceased eldest son, his grandfather thought at first that Bai Yan's words were worried that his uncle, like his uncle, would not be alive.
But when I think about it later, I feel a little weird!
Suddenly, thinking about it, my grandfather vaguely remembered something, and he was in a trance.
My grandfather seemed to remember that in the village, I heard that when the Qin general Bai Yan led his troops to destroy Wei, his clan uncle served as Qin's envoy and sent an envoy to the Wei capital Daliang to persuade the king of Wei to surrender, and was finally humiliated and tortured by the king of Wei.
Wrong! Wrong!
Ying personally said that the eldest son, Zihuai, arrived in Daliang City when he was wandering around, suddenly suffered a vicious illness, and finally died!
But now Shui Yan is Bai Yan, so who is the rumored clan uncle in the past?
In the past few days, my grandfather learned that Shui Yan was Bai Yan and was regarded as a great good man by the Qin State, and he was a little unacceptable in his heart, and he didn't slow down and remembered it, but now after remembering it, his grandfather was full of doubts.
Looking at his wife on the side, as well as the timid third son, and then thinking of the eldest daughter-in-law who is now seriously ill, the grandfather finally couldn't help it, and frowned at Bai Yan.
"In the past, it was rumored that you were in Daliang of Wei State, and you ordered his clan uncle to serve as an envoy to Qin, and went to Daliang City to persuade the King of Wei to surrender, and was finally killed by the King of Wei, but is there such a thing?"
