Qin Gong

Chapter 674 Returning Home

Under the night.

In Linzi City, Bai Yan arrived at the residence of Prime Minister Qi, knelt down and sat behind the wooden table, drinking wine while watching the female musicians singing and dancing in the main hall.

"Wu Liejun~!"

The beautiful woman's sweet voice came from beside him. Bai Yan raised his hand and held her in his arms. He watched the beautiful woman raise the wine glass with her slender hands and drank it all with a smile.

It can be seen that in order to repay Bai Yan for taking care of him in Qin State, Hou Yao also put great thought into this. Not to mention the feast of delicacies, the singing and dancing of female musicians, and the beautiful woman in Bai Yan's arms were all quite impressive.

During the banquet, Bai Yan also ate and drank well, until the singer left, she was already smelling of alcohol.

Then, facing Hou Yao and many Qi officials in the main hall, they toasted, talked and drank together, and the number of times when the maids brought wine to Bai Yan became more and more frequent.

As cups of wine went down his throat, amidst the laughter and laughter of many Qi officials, Bai Yan gradually looked a little drunk, and the number of times he spoke to Hou Yao increased from the few at the beginning.

"I heard that Lord Wu Lie is a disciple of the former Qi doctor Tian Jin?"

In the main hall, unlike all the men who drink and have fun, Qi Xiang Hou Sheng, who does not drink much because of his age, has always been reticent. Even if he talks, he always hears about the affairs of the Qin State.

"Back to Prime Minister Qi, Bai Yan is indeed Tian Jin's disciple!"

At the ambassador's residence, the elderly Mao Jiao was in the study. When he heard the report from his servants, Bai Yan had already returned to the ambassador's residence in a carriage.

Regarding Hou Sheng, all the Qi officials in the main hall were more or less promoted by Hou Sheng, or were deeply favored by Hou Sheng. In addition to Hou Sheng's identity and relationship with the King of Qi, everyone respected Hou Sheng very much. win.

"I have known Tian Jin for many years. Although we have not been close friends for many years, we are still colleagues in the court. We worked together in the past and assisted King Qi! What a pity..."

Hearing this, Mao Jiao did not get up, but nodded to the servant, and then asked the servant to get down.

Bai Yan seemed to have noticed something, his face was full of drunkenness and a little absent-minded. He reacted belatedly and hurriedly saluted Hou Sheng to signal that it was okay.

While Hou Sheng was speaking, he opened his eyes and saw Bai Yan's expression was not good, so he quickly stopped talking and didn't say any more.

late at night.

Seeing Bai Yan's hesitant and troubled expression, Hou Sheng looked at the eldest son Hou Yao beside him.

Perhaps after drinking, people who used to not be rude, but now that they learned about this secret, they forgot all etiquette.

Bai Yan didn't want to argue with Zhao Qiu anymore, so he turned to look at Master Xu.

"The purpose of Bai Yan coming to Qi this time must be clear to everyone. Bai Yan is a native of Qi. He can't bear to see Qi and Qin fighting each other. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma. King Qin owes Bai Yan a favor, and Qi is Bai Yan's. Home Country……"

Bai Yan put down his hand and shook his head with a drunken face, as if he was mocking himself. However, as the prime minister, Hou Sheng, how could he not hear the dissatisfaction in this sentence?

"What? Wu Liejun Bai Yan is a disciple of Tian Jin!"

In the eyes of everyone, Bai Yan, who was already a little drunk, directly picked up the wine cup and drank the wine in one gulp, regardless of the beautiful woman in his arms.

Bai Yan spoke slowly, expressing all the worries in his heart.

Hou Sheng sat on his knees behind the wooden table, with dozens of candle lights lighting up the entire room. Hou Sheng closed his eyes and shook his head with regret.

"Did Mr. Wu Lie encounter any difficulties?"

Compared with the servants, Mao Jiao knew better that Bai Yan had definitely not returned to the ambassador's residence now. What came back was just a carriage and a substitute who entered the residence with Bai Yan's wooden sign under the cover of night.

Bai Yan couldn't hear the yin and yang meaning in Zhao Qiu's words, but Bai Yan was too lazy to argue with Zhao Qiu. He deliberately raised his hand and smelled his arm with his left hand and his right hand. He didn't smell it. Is there something wrong with your nose? What the problem looks like.

"That Tian Jin a few years ago, the whole family..."

"Since Lord Wu Lie is a disciple of Tian Jin, you can talk to me if you need it in the future! I heard that Hou Yao was in Xianyang in the past and was entertained by Lord Wu Lie. Lord Wu Lie can also give orders to Hou Yao if he needs it!"

After putting down the wine jue, Bai Yan slowly looked at Xiang Yao, and then looked at Xiang Sheng.

"Smelly?"

Tian Jin! ! !

On the other side of Linzi City, under the same night light, but far away from the Embassy's Mansion, it was also in a more remote courtyard.

"Tian Jin's crime is not his fault! What's more... it's my rudeness and mentioning old things!"

"In Qi State, my mentor Tian Jin is a sinner!"

"Might as well bring a little bag of gold!"

When Bai Yan saw this, he remained silent.

Looking at Bai Yan who came back in civilian clothes, Zhao Qiu's pretty face was full of disgust. It seemed that he could tell at a glance that the woman who poured wine for Bai Yan at the banquet was not something. Good woman'.

Master Xu nodded, then took Bai Yan to the room, and took out a large bottle of wine, a large cloth wrap, and several pieces of fine cloth. These are all that Bai Yan will take home after dawn. thing.

Tian Jin is Lord Wu Lie, Bai Yan’s mentor?

Hou Sheng said to Bai Yan.

When Bai Yan heard Hou Sheng's words, his slightly swaying body suddenly stiffened, then he smiled, turned to look at Hou Sheng and cupped his hands.

"What a smelly woman!"

After hearing Hou Sheng's words, they knelt down behind the wooden table. The drunken gentry men and other Qi officials all looked at Bai Yan in surprise, their hazy eyes full of shock.

Shocked discussions continued in the main hall. Qi officials Geng Ying, Ju Duan, Fan Yin, Zhang Hao and others looked at each other and talked in low voices.

But the sudden opening made everyone turn their heads to look.

Hou Yao saw his father's eyes and understood, so he quickly looked at Bai Yan.

"No wonder I am willing to return to Qi to serve..."

"Master Xu, are you ready?"

Zhao Qiu seemed to mind that Bai Yan only brought so few things with him when he returned to the village to meet his parents.

Bai Yan glanced at Zhao Qiu. Zhao Qiu didn't know why, but when he saw Bai Yan's eyes, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his beautiful eyes.

"Then my mother won't dare to leave the house even half a step at dawn if she doesn't have to sleep anymore at night!"

Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu and said, and then ignored Zhao Qiu. He picked up the package and the cloth, put them on the wooden table, and sorted them out to see what else he would need when he went home tomorrow. "snort!"

Zhao Qiu couldn't understand what Bai Yan meant.

Obviously he was worried that before the situation in Qi country was stable, it would bring trouble to his parents. Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan with beautiful eyes. Don't think that she didn't know. Bai Yan knew every move of the Ying family. There must be Bai Yan in that village. As long as there is any disturbance, they will take Bai Yan's parents and family away immediately.

There was some resentment in my heart.

Zhao Qiu felt a little depressed when he thought about Bai Yan going home tomorrow and not being able to follow him.

But now Zhao Qiu also knows that if she follows Bai Yan, she is afraid that no matter how well Bai Yan hides the news, he will make a big fuss.

"If you are here these days, be careful. Elder Shi and Elder Shen are here. If anything happens, please contact me and Elder Wei immediately."

Bai Yan looked at Master Xu and Zhao Qiu and explained.

Seeing that the two girls were not in high spirits, Bai Yan said nothing, but felt very uneasy. After all, he left five years ago and did not return home for more than five years.

I'm going back tomorrow, so I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.

......................................................

Day two.

The sky had just turned dim, and inside the compound, Bai Yan and Mr. Wei had already packed up. After the two disguised themselves, they took their things and left the mansion.

Two hours later, with dawn.

"What? Bai Yan has left Linzi and headed east?"

Upon hearing the news that Bai Yan had left Linzi, not to mention Qi Wangjian, Li Fei and others in the Qi King's Palace, even Master Bri and Mr. Lu from the Jixia Academy looked at each other in shock.

"Why does Bai Yan want to go east?"

Tian Xie was also a little confused, and then looked at Mr. Lu and others.

After dawn, Bai Yan took a carriage and left Linzi with all his followers, heading east. This move was really puzzling.

"Mr. Lu!!"

"Master Bridle!!!"

Before Mr. Lu could answer Tian Xie's words, several people's voices were heard outside the room, and then five or six people were seen coming into the room one after another.

Among these five or six people, the youngest is in his forties, and the older ones are already in their sixties.

"Lao Tian! Lao Zhu!..."

When Tian Xie saw a few people, he quickly stood up and saluted the three old men leading them.

"Is Bai Yan really Tian Jin's disciple?"

Before Mr. Zhu and the others could return the favor to Tian Xie, Mr. Tian couldn't wait to ask. Perhaps this couldn't be blamed on his age, as the old Mr. Tian was like this.

But this matter had to make Mr. Tian excited. Back then, he, all his old bones, traveled all the way to the Qin Kingdom with Mr. Zhu and Mr. Wei, with the intention of exposing Bai Yan's fake tripod as the real Jiuzhou tripod. result……

Bai Yan sent it to Xianyang and presented the tripod to Ying Zheng. It was the real Jiuzhou tripod.

Not only that, as Qin destroyed Wei, Bai Yan led troops to attack Wei on the orders of Qin King Ying Zheng. During this period, news actually spread that Bai Yan was from Qi.

Whenever Mr. Tian thinks of this incident, he can't help but think about the Jiuzhou Cauldron that he saw with his own eyes in Xianyang City in the sea of ​​​​people in the past, and that has disappeared for decades.

Now, before he could recover from that incident, Mr. Lu told him that Bai Yan was not only a Qi person, but also a disciple of Tian Jin!

"Go back to Mr. Tian, ​​this matter must be true!"

Tian Xie looked at Mr. Tian and nodded lightly.

Although Tian Jin is not a clan relative in Qi State, Tian Jin also has connections in Qi State, and even has prestige and acquaintances in Chu, Wei, Han, Zhao, and Yan.

It is no exaggeration to say that this incident will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Linzi City in the next few days, even the Qi State Court. Those Qi State officials who were good friends with Tian Jin in the past will be shocked by this news.

"Where is Bai Yan? I want to see him!"

Mr. Tian's wrinkled old face was breathing rapidly. Listening to Tian Xie's words, Mr. Tian wished he could see Bai Yan immediately.

"Already left Linzi!"

Tian Xie said.

When Mr. Tian and others heard this, they all looked astonished. After receiving the news, several of them rushed over immediately, only to be told that Bai Yan was not in Linzi at this time.

When Master Li and Mr. Lu saw the appearance of Mr. Tian and others, they also looked at each other and sighed helplessly. After learning about this matter yesterday, they also had countless things to say and wanted to see Bai Yan to ask.

However, Hou Yao, the son of Hou Sheng, entertained Bai Yan for a banquet. He managed to stay up until today, only to get the news that Bai Yan had left the city.

Outside Linzi City.

Next to a river, the official road forks into a small road and goes all the way to the mountain.

Bai Yan carried the package and cloth on his back, and while walking with Mr. Wei, he told Mr. Wei about Hou Sheng's temptation last night and the revelation of his closeness.

Last night at the banquet at Housheng's mansion, the first part was all about drinking and having fun, listening to music and watching dancing, and the second part was all about testing each other and hinting at each other.

for a long time.

After walking on winding and undulating paths, around the peaks, between the mountains and forests, along the familiar paths, Bai Yan's eyes were filled with excitement when the distant village came into view.

"Teacher, that place in front of you is the village where this disciple has lived since childhood!"

Bai Yan said to Mr. Wei, the smile on his lips rising uncontrollably.
