Early morning.

Bai Yan came to the pavilion and looked at Wu Gao, who had arrived early, so he came to the wooden table and knelt down.

When Wu Yun arrived with Nian'er, Nian'er saw her father Bai Yan, and instantly left her mother Wu Yun's side, and ran to Bai Yan in a hurry.

"Father!"

Bai Yan hugged Nian'er, and then looked up, with a touch of ruddy Wu Yun in the corners of her beautiful eyes.

"As soon as Nian'er woke up, she was clamoring to find you."

Wu Yun glanced at Bai Yan, as if she remembered what happened last night, and the whole person couldn't help but feel ashamed, and her reddened beautiful eyes immediately looked at her daughter, pretending to be delicious, but her expression was full of spoiling.

If it weren't for Bai Yan having to go to Xianyang, Wu Yun would be eager to go on like this for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Wu Yun's eyes darkened, and she couldn't bear to show it, not wanting Bai Yan to worry about herself in the future.

"In the clouds?"

Wu Gao saw the appearance of the eldest sister Wu Yun and Bai Yan, as if he had a premonition, his face showed relief, and he was happy for the eldest sister, but when he remembered what Bai Yan said just now, he couldn't help but wonder.

In the cloud?

Wu Gao, who had been to Daidi, was very puzzled, the clouds were full of endless mountains, why Bai Yan said that there was endless wealth there.

"Hold the letter, you will know when you go!"

Bai Yan hugged Nian'er and looked at Wu Gao with a smile.

At the beginning, in order to raise grain and millet, the Wu family sold the wealth, resulting in little left of the industry, this kindness, Bai Yan could not repay it, this debt, Wu Yun and Wu Gao were unwilling to ask Qin Guo to make up for it, so Bai Yan himself would make up for it.

These, when Wu Gao goes to Yun Middle School, you will know!

Looking at the daughter in his arms, Bai Yan was very reluctant to think that he would leave tomorrow, but if he was okay this time, he would definitely take his daughter to see the prosperity of Xianyang in person in the future and make up for the regrets he had been having.

"In the clouds?"

Wu Yun listened to the conversation between Wu Gao and Bai Yan, although she was a little puzzled about what the two were talking about, but thinking that it might be a matter between men, Wu Yun didn't ask much.

"Father, can you take Nian'er to the city to play?"

Nian'er looked at Bai Yan, her small eyes were full of expectations.

However, at this time, before Bai Yan returned, he had already hurriedly followed the slave.

"General, Captain Li Si is coming to Xingyang soon!"

He came to Bai Yan and reported to Bai Yan.

"Lis?"

Hearing his words, Wu Yun and Wu Gao frowned, glanced at each other, very puzzled, and then looked at Bai Yan, not understanding why Li Si came to Xingyang at this time, knowing that Yan was ready to return to Xianyang, why can't we meet in Xianyang?

Could it be ......

"Father is busy first, and Nian'er is waiting for his father at home."

Nian'er looked at her mother, and then whispered in her father's arms Bai Yan.

Bai Yan was very surprised to see such a young daughter say this, but in Bai Yan's gaze, Nian'er in his arms raised his little hand, hugged Bai Yan's neck tightly, and put his little face in Bai Yan's arms.

"Father promised Nian'er that he would be like his mother, he would come back every time, and Nian'er would want to see his father and follow his father in the future!"

Nian'er whispered softly in Bai Yan's arms, making Bai Yan's face soft, looking at Wu Yun on the side, thinking that she had to leave tomorrow, her heart was full of indescribable guilt.

Let's see if I can ask anything when I meet Li Si.

Under the gate of Xingyang City.

A carriage slowly drove in front of the two Qin officials, looking at the two Qin officials who raised their hands to stop them, and without waiting for the groom to speak, among the accompanying servants, one of the servants led by him had already stepped forward and took out a pass from his arms.

Qin Yan looked at the pass, his eyes were suspicious, he glanced at the pedestrian in front of him, perhaps sensing that the people in the carriage were of unusual origin, Qin Yan hesitated, and finally retreated and gave way, signaling that this pedestrian could enter the city.

Among the most famous restaurants in Xingyang City, Li You stood in front of the window, looking at the people coming and going on the street, his brows furrowed slightly.

Looking back at his father, he stepped forward to the wooden table on the other side and sat down on his knees.

"Father, will Bai Yan really come here?"

Li You looked at his father with some concern, in order to see Bai Yan in private, his father not only left Xianyang on the grounds of visiting relatives, but also learned from Bai Yan's cronies that Bai Yan was in Xingyang, and then rushed to Xingyang.

If you can't see Bai Yan, wouldn't it be in vain if you did so in vain.

"Yes!"

The elderly Li Si raised his hand to pick up the wine lord on the wooden table, shook it, and said with a determined tone in his eyes.

Looking at his son Li You, Li Si's mind appeared Bai Yan's appearance, compared to Bai Yan, although Li You married Yingzheng, he did not have many achievements, whether it was in the government and the opposition, or in the army, it was far from Bai Yan.

Those who have no merit in the Qin State are not allowed to be feuded, and even many of the princes of the Qin State today do not have a title fief.

As soon as Li Si thought of this, he couldn't help but worry about the result of meeting Bai Yan......

Just as Li Si was talking to Li You, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the private room, which suddenly made Li Si hold the hand of the wine lord and stop in mid-air.

"My lord! Wu Liejun has arrived! ”

There was a respectful voice from outside the door, Li Si and Li You glanced at each other, quickly got up, and walked towards the door of the private room.

As the door of the private room opened, Li Si and Li You's father and son saw Bai Yan standing behind Hu Cong.

Seeing Bai Yan, the father and son hurriedly bowed their hands, and Hu retreated from the bent down at this time.

"Wu Liejun!"

"Li You! Meet Wu Liejun! ”

Li Si and Li You, father and son, saluted.

"I've seen Captain Ting! I've seen Li Junshou! ”

Bai Yan returned the salute to the two, and after the ceremony, in the face of the invitation of the father and son, Bai Yan politely thanked him again, and then entered the private room.

Inside the private room.

Bai Yan knelt behind the wooden table, looking at Li Si and his son, the sudden arrival of the two made Bai Yan very surprised, especially for Li Si, ask yourself, after learning from his cronies that Li Si had come to Xingyang, Bai Yan immediately guessed that Li Si came to see his purpose.

It is nothing more than a dispute between the feudal system and the county system!

But the more this is the case, the more Bai Yan wonders why Li Si does not hesitate to oppose the Ying clan, the heroes of the government and the opposition, and the old clan of the Qin State, and does not hesitate to go to great lengths to meet him secretly, and also implements the county system.

Everyone has a need, and Li Si is no exception.

For the unification of the world for future generations? For Yingzheng? But looking at the actions of Li Si in later generations, it is not like!

This is also what Bai Yan has always been most confused about Li Si.

"Dare to ask Ting Wei, what is the so-called matter of meeting Bai Yan today?"

Bai Yan raised his hand and looked at Li Si with a curious expression.

When Li Si heard this, he smiled and raised his hand to return the salute, telling Bai Yan that he was just visiting his eldest son Li You, and he happened to hear that Bai Yan had arrived in Xingyang, so he came to visit.

With a few glasses of wine, after being polite, Bai Yan asked first.

"Dare to ask Tingwei, I don't know what happened in Xianyang, why did the king urgently summon Bai Yan to accompany the sacrifice, could it be that there are thieves and assassins?"

Bai Yan looked at Li Si and asked tentatively with a smile.

Li You, who was on the other side, heard Bai Yan's impatient inquiry, looked stunned, looked at his father, and suddenly understood why his father was so sure that Bai Yan would come.

"Don't hide it from Wu Liejun, what Wu Liejun suspects, but also what Si Zhi is confused! But ......"

Li Si shook his head at Bai Yan, Li Si couldn't figure out why Ying Zheng had to let Bai Yan go all the way back to Xianyang from Qidi, even if he asked Ying Zheng privately, Ying Zheng didn't mention it.

"Please speak up!"

Bai Yan frowned slightly, and then raised his hand to signal, Li Si had everything to say.

Li You also looked at his father from the side, listening to the conversation between his father and Bai Yan, his eyes were full of curiosity.

"I heard about the old days...... Yunyangjun once visited Wu Liejun in Qidi! ”

Li Si hesitated, looked at Bai Yan with a smile and asked.

Bai Yan heard Li Si's inquiry, nodded, and then roughly told Li Si about the conversation with Ying Dan, and did not hide it, even his reply to Ying Dan was no exception, and in the end, Bai Yan looked at Li Si.

"Ting Wei guessed that this is the case?"

Bai Yan asked.

When Li Si heard Bai Yan's words, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then sighed, nodded under the gaze of Bai Yan and Li You, and then, in front of Bai Yan, told Ying Zheng that he wanted to implement the county system in the world, and told Bai Yan that only the county system can collect the power of the world and gather in Yingzheng, so that Yingzheng is the co-master of the world, not the nominal name of the Zhou kings in the past dynasties......

Inside the private room.

After Li Si finished speaking, the whole private room was silent, Bai Yan looked at the wine lord on the table, knelt behind the wooden table, didn't say a word, didn't know what he was thinking.

For a long time, when Li You looked at his silent father and Bai Yan, who was speechless, and looked a little uneasy, Bai Yan finally spoke.

"Captain Tingwei is here today, but is it also about this?"

Bai Yan asked, and when he saw Li Si nodding with a serious face, he didn't deny it.

"Dare to ask Tingwei, do you know what the Qin clan thinks? Do you know what the ministers of the government and the opposition think? Do you know what your sons think? Knowable ......"

When Bai Yan said this, he looked up at Li Si: "What does the world's sergeant clan think?" ”

Li Si saw Bai Yan's eyes and sighed deeply.

"All push and seal!"

Li Si immediately looked at Bai Yan and told Bai Yan that this was also the reason why he saw Bai Yan in private, now all countries are destroyed by Qin, and the world is all Qin soil, in Qin, Bai Yan or in terms of seniority, he is not as good as the old ministers in the court, but in terms of merit, not under the Wang father and son, if Bai Yan also wrote a letter to agree with Yingzheng to implement the county, the government and the opposition are speechless.

In Li Si's gaze, behind the wooden table, Bai Yan, with a contemplative face, is the biggest help for his implementation of the county system today.

The right prime minister Feng Qujian did not express his position, the old general Wang Jian was not in the court, and in the face of Wang Xuan, the left prime minister who stood on the side of the clan, Bai Yan, who was urgently recalled to Xianyang, could play a decisive role, which is why Li Si had to come to Xingyang to see Bai Yan.

"I'm afraid that the king has not made a decision, and dares to ask the court captain, what do you want?"

Bai Yan shook his head, refuted Li Si without hesitation, and then looked at Li Si and asked.

Bai Yan's words made Li Si and Li You frown, neither of them expected Bai Yan to be so direct, and what worried the two of them even more was that Bai Yan's appearance at this time was obviously unwilling to go to the book to promote the county.

"Thanks to the king's grace, I should serve the king to relieve my worries, and I dare not ask for it!"

Li Si raised his hand, with a sincere face, looked at Bai Yan sincerely, and saluted softly.

And under Li You's gaze, Bai Yan got up, returned the salute to his father, and then said goodbye and left.

Looking at the open door, Li You looked at his father in puzzlement.

"Why didn't my father tell Bai Yan, my father asked for it, but he was the prime minister of Zuo!"

Li You asked, as Li Si's eldest son, Li You knows better than anyone that since he experienced Changpingjun and Changwenjun, Qin Wang Yingzheng has always had a problem with Chu officials in his heart, even if his father has assisted Yingzheng for many years, it will inevitably have some influence.

This is also the reason why my father didn't dare to compete for the phase in the first place!

I thought that there would be a chance in the future, but I never thought that in the battle of Qin and Chu, Bai Yan almost single-handedly turned the tide of the battle, and in the end, even the Jin State was helpless to Qiang Chu, and the country was destroyed with a bang.

And today, under Qin, the county system is the last chance for my father, not only to break the mustard in Yingzheng's heart, but also to take advantage of this to pull Wang Wan down the phase, and find a good opportunity for my father to ascend to the phase.

"Too risky ......"

Li Si looked at the empty private door, and sighed helplessly, before Bai Yan made a statement, how could he dare to say his purpose, the world is unified, and he is already old, and he has not many chances.

"Let's go back to Xianyang!"

Li Si shook his head, even if Bai Yan didn't agree, as long as Bai Yan still didn't say anything like he did in Qidi, Li Si still had a chance, and he wouldn't give up.

……………………

Next.

In the cry, Nian'er was in Bai Yan's arms, holding Bai Yan's neck and refusing to let go, and was indifferent to the persuasion of her mother Wu Yun.

"My father promised Nian'er that he would definitely come back in the future, and he would not be separated from Nian'er when the time came."

Bai Yan felt his neck wet with tears and comforted softly.

In the end, with the help of Wu Yun and Wu Gao, Nian'er left Bai Yan's arms, looking at Nian'er with tears on her face, Bai Yan was very reluctant, but this time she went to Xianyang, it was destined to be difficult to live in peace, all forces were calculating with each other, for the safety of Nian'er and Wu Yun, Bai Yan couldn't take their mother and daughter to the place of right and wrong in Xianyang.

"General, it's ready to go!"

He came to Bai Yan's side at this time, nodded at Wu Yun and Wu Gao, and only after Wu Yun nodded, did he say to Bai Yan.

"Wait for Yan to come back!"

Bai Yan looked at Wu Yun, looking at Wu Yun holding Nian'er, her red eyes were full of reluctance.

At this moment, Bai Yan and Wu Yun, who were looking at each other, said a thousand words.

The other side.

Just as Bai Yan left Xingyang.

Northern.

Plumes of smoke and dust from the mountains dispersed southward with the direction of the wind.

The sound of horses' hooves resounded in the sky, as if to crack the earth, and the mournful wails of the frontier defenders continued to sound on the earth, and looking down from the sky, countless nomadic tribesmen on horseback poured into a city one after another.

Under the dense horse's hooves, a corpse of a Qin army soldier fell to the ground, constantly trampled by the horse's hooves, these corpses full of blood, scattered around Changge, arrows, prove that they used their own life and flesh to block the enemy before their deaths, but in the end they still couldn't support it.

And in the city, fierce battles followed, the scorching fire was accompanied by endless smoke, all over the city, countless screams, wails and heart-rending cries, you can see the streets, faintly swords and swords intertwined, flesh and blood, wailing constantly, however, with the swarming of nomadic tribesmen, in the fierce and cruel siege of nomadic men, finally a corpse of a soldier fell to the ground, and the sound gradually disappeared.

When the sun sets, the city returns to silence, and at a glance, the city is empty, only countless corpses under the smoke, as if to say that in this world, life is worthless.
