When it was cloudy, the weather in Linzi City changed as soon as it was said, and the scorching sun, which was still very hot, was hidden in the sky in a blink of an eye, and on the earth, the breeze blew the willows, and the leaves swayed.

Under the pavilion, Bai Yan was kneeling at the wooden table, talking with the three of Corpse Cheng, Corpse Yan, and Shen Lao, when Xiao He suddenly came in a hurry.

"General, General! The Qi family in Linzi City has already handed over the household registration of the people! ”

Xiao He came to the wooden table with an excited face, and after saluting, he handed a roll of bamboo slips to Bai Yan.

Looking at the corpses and corpse weirs on the side, Xiao He hurriedly turned around and bowed to the two.

"Lord Xiao!"

When the corpse Cheng and the ancestor of the corpse weir saw Xiao He saluting, they also hurriedly returned the salute.

Although Xiao He was just a side branch of the Xiao family, when Wei was still there, not to mention Xiao He, a small person, even the entire Xiao family, could not enter the eyes of the corpse family, but now, it is very different.

It has been rumored before that Qin will pay great attention to a person named Xiao He in general Bai Yan, and then, the battle of Qin and Chu spread all over the world, just when everyone thought that Bai Yan would be besieged in eastern Chu and the Qin army would be besieged by Chu because of grain and grass.

A captain named Xiao He sent a steady stream of grain and grass to the Qin army in Chudong, and this delivery was several months.

At this point, the corporal of the world knows the name of Xiao He.

At this moment, looking at Xiao He excitedly handing over the bamboo slip to Bai Yan, he reported to Bai Yan in his mouth, the Qi Guoshi clan had already handed over the household registration of the people with full power, and the corpse Cheng and the corpse weir both sighed with some emotion, now that Bai Yan is around, there are too many capable people to help each other, and if any force wants to deal with Bai Yan, it is no longer as if it only needs to deal with Bai Yan alone.

"The king of Qi does not fight, and Qin Qi is lucky! Blessings to all people! ”

Bai Yan looked at the bamboo slips, his eyes were full of amazement, and he was also a little lucky, fortunately, Qi Wangjian was finally willing to surrender to the Qin State, instead of leading the troops to fight to the death.

Ten years ago, the capital of Qi in Linzi, there were 70,000 households, which were registered, and there were more and more without registration, because of the household registration and field tax, the local people would secretly attach themselves to the families of the nobles, and many scholars would hide the real population, not to mention the Qi State, that is, the Qin State, and it was no exception.

Ten years ago, there were seven vassal states in the world, and now, with the other five vassal states dying one after another, the population of Linzi in Qi is really scary.

The number of registered households has quietly exceeded 100,000! How many are not registered, I'm afraid that even the Qi Guoshi clan doesn't know now.

The only thing that is certain is this: the city rents a thousand dollars!

"Yes! General, according to the household registration conventions in various places, if there are three men in each household, Linzi can have 300,000 in one city, and there are four other cities similar to Linzi! ”

Xiao He heard Bai Yan's emotion, turned around and nodded at Bai Yan, his expression was full of approval.

The population of Qi is too unexpected, and the population and commerce of the entire Qi land are even more secretly frightened, no wonder hundreds of years ago, Yan Zi made Chu, and said to the king of Chu: Qi Zhi Linzi 300 Lu, Zhang Yuan into yin, sweat into rain, shoulder to shoulder.

If a war really broke out between the Qin State and the Qi State before, I am afraid that the entire Qi Land would be a piece of bones, and I don't know how many people would die.

"Childe is in the city?"

Bai Yan returned the bamboo slips to Xiao He, turned his head to look at the corpse weir and asked, as the most promising descendant of the corpse family and the future successor of the corpse family, after the corpse weir came to Linzi, Gongzi Shengding had contact with the corpse weir and drank together.

"In the city!"

Seeing Bai Yan's gaze, the corpse weir glanced at his grandfather, and then looked at Bai Yan with some concern.

"King Qi surrendered, there is no lack of scholars in the city who are resentful, even more so in the clan, as the son of Qi, Tian Sheng's reputation among the clansmen is no longer the original, and now, he drinks and buys drunk all day long...... Occasional complaints! ”

In the last sentence, Corpse Yan thought about it, but still said it to Bai Yan, and realized that Bai Yan wanted to see Gongzi Sheng, and Corpse Yan also wanted Bai Yan to be prepared.

"It's okay!"

When Bai Yan heard the words of the corpse weir, he didn't care.

A servant was called to prepare the carriage, and then after Bai Yan and Xiao He explained some things in the city, they got up and left the mansion with the corpse and the corpse weir.

Half an hour later.

In a small courtyard, with only a few wooden houses and an empty courtyard, a man was drinking at a wooden table.

With the sound of dense footsteps, I soon saw more than a dozen Qin army soldiers walking from outside, and then each holding the hilt of the sword at his waist, standing in front of the wooden door.

In front of a simple wooden table, a man in a folded silk robe, drinking alone, saw this scene, sneered, and then didn't take it to heart, it seemed that he was not afraid of those Qin pawns at all, but several servants who were also in the courtyard retreated in fear, leaning against the corner of the small garden and not daring to move.

Bai Yan, who was wearing the official uniform of the Qin State, entered the small courtyard with the corpse weir and saw Gongzi Sheng at a glance.

However, at this moment, Gongzisheng is embarrassing, and when the corpse weir sees it, there is a touch of sympathy and sadness in his eyes.

In the eyes of the corpse weir, the demise of the Qi State is the reason for the construction of Qi Wangjian and many ministers of the Qi State, and from beginning to end, Tian Sheng, the eldest son of the Qi State, has been working hard to save the Qi State, wanting to rebel against the Qin State, and treating people is even more humble and polite, and even often humble.

For such a son, how could the corpse weir not have a good feeling.

"The population of Qi is millions, and the country of Qi is eight hundred years old!"

Bai Yan took a pot of wine and came to the wooden table, this time Bai Yan did not salute, but just opened the wine and said something to himself.

And Tian Sheng, who was originally full of wine smell and his eyes were drunk and hazy, looked down and heard this sentence, the whole person trembled, his breathing was slightly short, he raised his head, and looked at Bai Yan with red eyes.

In this look, there is the reverence for Bai Yan in the past, the memories with Bai Yan, and more, the unwillingness and anger towards Bai Yan.

Perhaps in the depths of Tian Sheng's heart, the last thing he wanted and what he didn't want to accept was that Bai Yan, who was a Qi person, personally commanded the army of Qin and destroyed Qi.

"The mausoleum of the teacher Tian Jin has been dug up, and it is five miles away from Tianqi Yuan in the north!"

Bai Yan looked at the wooden table full of messy wine jugs, not even a container for wine, and on the dirt floor on the side, there was a wine lord, but the wine lord had been discarded on the ground for many days, and it was already covered with dirt.

This look, not to mention drinking, is drinking water, and ordinary people will not use it.

However, Bai Yan picked up a wine lord from the mud floor under the eyes of the corpse weir and all the soldiers of the Qin army, and even those servants, and poured the wine on his own.

The aroma of the wine spreads, and the wine, which should be crystal clear, is poured into the wine, but it is mixed with a lot of earth.

The former teacher told Yan that this land is his lifelong love! Rich and prosperous, the humanities and all Qi people have been passed down from generation to generation, with Yan in the north, Wei in the west, Chu in the south, and the sea in the north......"

Bai Yan picked up the wine jue and drank the wine in his mouth in one gulp under the surprised and surprised eyes of the corpse weir and those servants.

Tian Sheng also looked at Bai Yan's actions in a daze, and looked at Bai Yan, who was now a great good man of the Qin State, using the wine he had used and even discarded, and drank the wine full of dirt.

At this moment, there seemed to be an indescribable feeling in Tian Sheng's chest, and he didn't know how to express it.

"But the teacher, in the end, he died in the country of Qi and died in the edict of the king of Qi! Now it can only be buried on this land! Even the descendants, no one can go to the sacrifice. ”

Bai Yan put down the wine jue, feeling a few particles in his mouth and throat, Bai Yan did not spit it out, but looked directly at Tian Sheng.

"Childe saw Bai Yan in the past, Bai Yan had thoughts, Childe, can you save Qi?"

When Bai Yan said this, under the gaze of the corpse weir on the side, he turned his head to look at the small courtyard on the side and said no more.

Inside the small courtyard.

At the mention of the past, the atmosphere fell silent, and no one spoke.

It wasn't until a long time that Tian Sheng, who lowered his head, looked decadent, and drank a big sip of wine again.

"Why are you here? But what do you want me to do? ”

Tian Sheng asked Bai Yan about the purpose of coming here, it seemed that in Tian Sheng's eyes, Bai Yan, who was now leading the troops to destroy Qi, needed to be busy with a lot of important things, how could he have time to come here to see him.

"Bai Yan wants to ask Gongzi, but I know who it is, who participated in the murder of the former Qi Xiang Housheng clan!"

Bai Yan looked at Tian Sheng and asked.

"I heard that the prince and the former Chu, Wei and Yan clans have many old friends!"

Bai Yan picked up the wine jug, poured himself another glass, then looked at Tian Sheng, held the wine jue with both hands, and saluted slowly.

"It's not the Chu Weiyan clan! The Hou Sheng clan was killed, this matter is strange! ”

Tian Sheng heard Bai Yan mention the matter of Hou Sheng, hesitated, and said softly.

However, the tone was casual, and when he mentioned Hou Sheng, Tian Sheng's expression was still a little dazed, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"Why is Gongzi so determined, it is not the work of the Chu Weiyan clan? Why didn't others deceive Gongzi and do it in secret, supporting Gongzi to succeed to the throne as King of Qi? ”

Bai Yan saw that Tian Sheng didn't plan to drink with him, so he didn't care, but asked.

"No way!"

Tian Sheng sneered and quickly shook his head.

However, the corpse weir on the side could hear the uncertainty in Tian Sheng's words, having experienced Tian Dan and Tian Heng, it was obvious that Tian Sheng also knew that those scholars could do anything.

"Since Gongzi doesn't say anything, then Bai Yan won't ask more!"

When Bai Yan heard Gongzisheng's answer, his face was a little disappointed, but fortunately he didn't say anything, just poured a glass of wine again and saluted Gongzisheng.

In the small courtyard, hour after hour passed,

In the quiet atmosphere, Bai Yan didn't speak anymore, but picked up the wine jue and accompanied Tian Sheng to drink.

Perhaps when he was in eastern Chu, Tian Sheng traveled thousands of miles and did not hesitate to take the risk to find Bai Yan, at that time, Bai Yan had to face the army of Chu State, and he had no chance to drink with Tian Sheng, nor did he talk to Tian Sheng, and he clearly rejected Tian Sheng's kindness.

But in his heart, Bai Yan was still grateful to Tian Sheng for his appreciation.

There are many indifferences in the world, Bai Yan, who was born from a humble background, has been accustomed to seeing the cold and warm in the world since he was a child, facing Tian Sheng, who is the eldest son of Qi State, he used to attach so much importance to himself, and even traveled thousands of miles to go into danger, he also had to see his own side, people are not grass and trees, Bai Yan cannot be indifferent.

It's just that Bai Yan knows history, and he also knows that compared to the Qi State, the Qin State has the strength of unification, and what future generations need is also a Qin State, even if it is ......

Qin State II died!

Inside the small courtyard.

Bai Yan drank wine, looked at Tian Sheng, who was drinking and having fun all day long, and with a sip of wine in his throat, he finally lay on the wooden table, unconscious, and seemed to be muttering something in his mouth.

After sighing, Bai Yan got up slowly, took one last look at Tian Sheng, and left the small courtyard with the corpse weir.

Inside Linzi City.

On the way back to the mansion, the streets were congested, and the corpse weir kneeling in the carriage looked at Bai Yan with some doubts.

"Why didn't you mention the matter of the Qi Di Shi clan and the three Shi clans to Gongzi Sheng today?"

Corpse Weir couldn't help but ask.

Before coming, after seeing Bai Yan get the news sent by Xiao He, he wanted to see Gongzisheng, and the corpse weir always thought that Bai Yan saw Gongzisheng to talk about the Qi Di Shi clan and the Chu Wei Yan three Shi clan, and wanted Gongzi Sheng to lead the Qi Di Shi clan and drive away the Chu Wei Yan Shi clan.

However, at the moment, what the corpse weir didn't expect was that from beginning to end, Bai Yan didn't mention a word about the scholars.

"Tian Sheng and Chu Weiyan's old clan have a lot of friendship! Even if it is coercive and tempting, Gongzi Sheng is categorically reluctant! ”

Bai Yan explained to the corpse weir.

Looking at the wooden door of the carriage in front of the carriage, and listening to the bustling voices of the people outside the carriage, Bai Yan knew the doubts of the corpse weir, and roughly guessed what the corpse weir was thinking.

"The Qi Di Shi clan sent the household registration, and Yan no longer has any scruples! The reason why I came here is just to let the old clan of Chu Weiyan know that I came to see Gongzisheng today, so what happened to him in the future, everyone will guess that it is related to Gongzisheng! ”

Bai Yan said, and then turned his head to look at the corpse weir, his eyes full of solemnity.

"Gongzi Sheng is the son of the King of Qi, the son of the Kingdom of Qi, even if there are occasional complaints, he will not be guilty of death, let alone this place is Qidi! However, if Gongzisheng has a close relationship with the old clans of the three places, Yu Qin, no matter how much there is a verbal grudge, one day, Gongzisheng's life will be in danger! ”

Bai Yan explained the reason for coming to see Gongzisheng this time, after Xiao He got most of the household registration in Linzi City, the rest were minor problems, for the Qi Guoshi clan in the city, Bai Yan would not be really unkind, so he had to get to the bottom of it and tacit it to each other.

But thinking back to the afterlife, Tian Sheng's death!

In the end, Bai Yan couldn't bear it and didn't want to see Tian Sheng, and was finally killed by other Qin officials because he became a hidden danger of the Qin State.

"Let Tian Sheng be estranged from the old clan of Chu Weiyan, and the court of the Qin State can rest assured! Qi clan relatives, scholars, Qi Wang has a lot of dissatisfaction, there is alienation of the prince to rise, now the city Qi Di Shi clan and Chu Wei Yan old clan have grievances, the son of the promotion can only be accepted by the Qi Shi clan! When he encounters disasters every day, the Qi Di Shi clan will all lend a hand! In this way, Gongzi will be promoted, and there will be a good death! ”

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he no longer looked at the corpse weir.

Just like my grandmother taught me when I was a child: people, at all times, must be worthy of their conscience!

It is also because of this sentence that Bai Yan is not only grateful to the Bai family who has helped him, but even to Wu Gao and Corpse Yan in the past, Bai Yan is no exception.

For Gongzi Sheng, Bai Yan still remembered in his heart that when he stood at the head of the cold and windy city, he turned his head to look at the man who was wearing Qi silk clothes and walked in a hurry, and the man looked at him with such longing.

"I see......"

After listening to Bai Yan's words, the corpse weir looked at Bai Yan with a stunned face, and his expression was full of surprise.

However, for some reason, it was not until this moment that the corpse weir clearly felt that it was not the high-ranking and powerful Wu Liejun of the Qin State who was kneeling beside him, but the ......

When he was in Zhao Di, the Xu Zixiao he saw!

Inside the quiet carriage.

After a long time, Corpse Yan finally smiled, his expression was a little relaxed, this was the first time, when Corpse Yan faced Bai Yan, he had a familiar feeling in his heart.

……………

Inside Linzi City.

"Bai Yan went to see Gongzisheng?"

Not to mention the scholars of Chu, Wei and Yan who got the news, even after the scholars of Qi got the news, they also looked at each other, not knowing why Bai Yan went to see Gongzisheng.

In the Jixia School Palace, a few people stood under the eaves and looked at the flowers and plants and walkways in the small garden of the mansion, as if there were no students in the past, coming and going, just in front of them.

Several old people are a little sentimental, the Qi country is gone, Jixia School Palace, it is relying on the Qi country to survive, and now the Qi country is destroyed, they are afraid that they will have to leave this place in the future, whether it is to go to Shiqin, or to decide to retreat, or to join the Shi clan as a guest, there is no Jixia School Palace, and in the future, it will be like this again, I am afraid that it will be far away, and even in this life, there will be no chance.

"Master! Pedant! Oh no! The Huang clan in the city, the people of the Qu clan, and Wei Lao have all been arrested! ”

A student in his thirties hurriedly ran to the front of the reins and a few people to report.

Hearing this, the faces of the reincarnators changed drastically and they glanced at each other.

No way!

How is this possible!

After the Huang family was a famous general of the Chu State, Wei Zhaowei Lao was the most relied on staff of Changping Jun in the past, these people were hiding in Linzi City, few people knew, how could they all be arrested.

Unless someone informs Bai Yan about this!

Suddenly, in the minds of the reincarnation and several old men, a figure of a person couldn't help but appear.

Childe Tian Sheng!
