Qin Gong

Chapter 690: Wei Lao's words, King Qi surrenders! (Two in one)

At the end of May in Linzi, there was a thunderstorm with lightning and thunder in the sky. Along with the lightning that cut through the sky, a huge rumbling sound instantly spread throughout Linzi and made everyone feel the deafening sound.

It seemed as if the sky was roaring at this moment.

The ancients believed in gods. Although humans have abolished human sacrifice as the world changes, the ancients still retained the practice of divination, and their obsession with it is incomprehensible to later generations.

The sky was sending out violent storms and rainstorms. In the eyes of the ancients, this must be a sign of something!
Outside Linzi City.

Outside the Qin army camp, under the heavy rain, the Qin soldiers wearing straw hats were not only standing outside the camp on duty, but there were also rows of Qin soldiers patrolling in the heavy rain.

The army coming out of the north and the soldiers on the border know better than anyone that heavy rain often brings deadly dangers.

Therefore, no Qin soldier would dare to let down their guard while on patrol or guard duty in the heavy rain.

This is the habit of the Iron Cavalry and the Border Cavalry, and this habit does not come from military orders, but is the experience gained by generations of frontier soldiers at the cost of their lives.

"Gee! Gee!!"

A horse-drawn carriage was speeding along in the heavy rain, and there were several men on horseback escorting the carriage. However, when they saw the Qin army camp not far away, everyone slowed down.

It seemed that the Qin army soldiers had been prepared for a long time. When they saw this group of cavalry, they were not surprised. After confirming the number of people, they asked a few men to wait outside the camp and sent the carriage into the camp alone.

"Report! General, Qi minister Du Ju has arrived!"

A soldier came into the camp, dripping wet, and bowed to Bai Yan.

After hearing the words of the soldiers, Bai Yan and Wei Lao looked at each other, and then asked the soldiers to bring Qi minister Du Ju into the tent.

"Du Ju?"

Yang Yan and Li Xin were looking at Bai Yan next to the cloth map at this time. They were also very curious why Du Ju, an official from Qi State, came to see Bai Yan at this time.

Not long after.

Following the sound of footsteps, under the gaze of Yang Yan and Li Xin, a man in Qi uniform, led by Qin soldiers, came into the tent.

When he saw Bai Yan, Wei Lao, Yang Yan, Li Xin, Niu and others, Du Ju hurriedly saluted Bai Yan.

"Du Ju, meet Lord Wu Lie!"

Du Ju was not wearing the official uniform of Qi State. When he saw Bai Yan and others, there was no arrogance in his tone and expression.

Seeing this, Bai Yan naturally walked past Li Xin and Yang Yan, stepped forward and raised his hand to return the greeting to Du Ju.

"But is there any news in Linzi City?"

After Bai Yan finished his ceremony, he looked at Du Ju and asked.

Li Xin and Yang Yan only reacted after seeing this scene. They looked at Du Ju in surprise, and then looked at Bai Yan.

Is Qi official Du Ju Bai Yan's man?
Although Du Ju was not well-known and his official position in Qi was not high, when did Du Ju start working for Bai Yan? Why had they never seen Du Ju since they came to Linzi, and had no news about him at all?

"Reporting to Lord Wu Lie, at this moment in the city, after being persuaded by Prime Minister Hou Sheng and many Qi ministers, the King of Qi has already intended to surrender to Qin. However, officials headed by Tian Xie are still persuading the King of Qi to order a resistance against Qin and unite the old tribes of the former countries, so that the old tribes stationed in the country can start an uprising all over the world! Make Qin unable to split its forces, and in this way, the Qin army will definitely be exhausted!"

Du Ju said to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan and his teacher Wei Lao exchanged a glance. They did not expect that Tian Xie and other Qi ministers were so sharp-eyed that they could see the weakness of Qin at a glance.

Especially Bai Yan, Bai Yan knew how fatal it would be to the Qin army if the strategic depth was extended! In later generations, whether it was Xiang Yu or the records of other great battles, they were all bloody examples and lessons.

"Then what is the purpose of Lord Du's visit?"

Bai Yan asked.

Since Du Ju went out of the city in the heavy rain and came here to meet, then Du Ju, or Hou Sheng in the city, must need help.

"Lord Wu Lie, the King of Qi has learned that all the regions of Qi are willing to surrender to Qin, and the King of Qi himself is inclined to surrender to Qin. The reason why he is hesitating again and again is just because of the words of Tian Xie and his relatives, as well as the power of the three noble families in Linzi City!"

Du Ju said this and bowed to Bai Yan. After putting his hands down, he thought for two breaths and looked at Bai Yan.

"If Lord Wu Lie wants the King of Qi to surrender to Qin as soon as possible, Ju, the Prime Minister and others have discussed and feel that they still need the help of one person. As long as this person is willing to persuade the King of Qi, the King of Qi will definitely make up his mind!"

Du Ju said.

"who?"

The moment Du Ju finished speaking, Bai Yan asked.

Li Xin, Yang Yan and others looked at Du Ju. Just as the two were thinking, Mr. Wei, who had a thoughtful look on his face, thought of Du Ju's words and suddenly spoke.

"Concubine Li!"

Old Wei frowned and said.

When Li Xin heard what Mr. Wei said, he was surprised. However, when he saw Du Ju also looking at Mr. Wei with surprise, Li Xin was even more confused. Du Ju's expression clearly said that the old man next to him guessed right!

The old man beside him! Who is Bai Yan's teacher? Li Xin's mind was full of questions, but he asked Bai Yan privately, but Bai Yan did not tell him.

"Wu Liejun, who is this?"

Du Ju looked at Bai Yan with some curiosity.

"Master! The hermit in the clouds!"

Bai Yan glanced at Mr. Wei, then looked at Du Ju and gave a brief explanation.

After hearing Bai Yan's words, Du Ju was also an intelligent man, so he naturally would not ask any further questions. Instead, he bowed to Mr. Wei very politely.

Mr. Wei also bowed to Du Ju in return.

"You can privately test Concubine Li to see what her attitude is towards surrendering to Qin?"

Bai Yan looked at Du Ju who had finished the ceremony and asked Hou Sheng and other Qi officials whether they could ask Concubine Li in private.

"Li Fei is the favorite concubine of the King of Qi. The King of Qi cannot live without Li Fei by his side for a day. Although we have the opportunity to spend time with Li Fei, we dare not stay too long, for fear that the King of Qi will have a grudge. If so, we may end up making things worse! In addition, Tian Xie and many ministers and relatives of Qi are also on high alert in the palace. Any actions of the King of Qi cannot be hidden from Tian Xie and others!"

Du Ju explained, frowning.

This is the tricky thing. Du Ju came out to see Bai Yan. In addition to telling Bai Yan about the difficulties, he also wanted to see if Bai Yan could find a reason to meet Concubine Li.

As long as Concubine Li could whisper in Prince Jian's ear, it would be far better than for them to continue to be in a stalemate with Tian Xie and others.

"When you go back this time, you can tell Concubine Li that her clansmen Yan Yu and her uncle Yan Ziping can both serve in Qin. Bai Yan will immediately write a letter and send it back to Xianyang to ask for the two to serve as guest officials of Qin! The entire Yan family can move to Yanmen, or go to Xianyang or Luoyin! All future generations will be protected by Qin and serve in Yanmen!"

Master Wei looked at his disciple Bai Yan and frowned, so he took the initiative to speak and gave instructions to Du Ju.

This time.

Du Ju, who was already curious about Mr. Wei's identity, was completely confused. He looked at Bai Yan, then looked at Mr. Wei with a confused look on his face, not understanding Mr. Wei's background.

However, seeing that Bai Yan had no intention of objecting, Du Ju quickly raised his hand to salute Mr. Wei, indicating that he should go back and inform Qi Xiang Hou Sheng immediately.

Thunder sounded outside the tent, and heavy rain fell on the tent, making a noise.

"I'm afraid I can't hide my identity from Hou Sheng and the others!"

After watching Du Ju leave, Old Wei waited for a moment, and then waited for Li Xin and Yang Yan to finish their discussion with Bai Yan and leave, before he spoke to Bai Yan.

When Bai Yan heard what Mr. Wei said, he did not rush to answer him. Instead, he looked at the location of Yanmen on the map hanging nearby.

After some hesitation, Bai Yan finally made up his mind.

the other side.

In the heavy rain, Du Ju returned to the city with difficulty, and went directly to Hou Sheng's mansion, telling Hou Sheng in detail about his meeting with Bai Yan.

After hearing what Du Ju said, the elderly Hou Sheng suddenly stood up.

"Wei Zhe!"

Hou Sheng had a look of shock and disbelief on his face.

"Wei Zhe?"

"Wei Zhe??"

Hou Sheng's eldest son Hou Yao, third son Hou Qing, and sixth son Hou Zhongsi, all looked at each other in surprise and looked at their father with strange expressions when they heard their father's words.

"Father, how could it be Wei Zhe? Bai Yan is now serving in Qin, and Wei Zhe is a famous scholar in the world. He was here because he disliked Ying Zheng and said that Ying Zheng was a cruel king and a disaster to the world! How could Wei Zhe be by Bai Yan's side now? And he is Bai Yan's teacher!"

Hou Zhongsi had a fat face and liked to grow a long beard. He did not look much better than Hou Yao. Both of them looked greedy.

When Hou Zhongsi heard his father's guess, his first reaction was to shake his head. Hou Zhongsi had met the world-famous Mr. Wei and knew Mr. Wei better. It is no exaggeration to say that when he was a child, what he feared most was meeting Mr. Wei.

When he was in his teens, he saw a woman on the street and relied on his family background to bully her. He didn't expect to run into Old Wei, and he didn't expect to be scolded by Old Wei in the end. That was the first time he experienced that family background was useless, and he was almost thrown into jail. He even cried in front of his elderly aunt, and the aunt, who was the queen dowager, scolded him, which was unusual for him.

After that time, he never wanted to see Mr. Wei again. Whenever he heard Mr. Wei's name, he would rather take a detour or even not go there at all.

"Yes! Father, it can't be Wei Zhe! It's even more impossible for Wei Zhe to help Bai Yan and destroy Qi!"

Hou Yao also nodded, not thinking that the other party was Wei Zhe.

However, under the gaze of Hou Yao, Hou Qing, Hou Zhongsi, and Du Ju, Hou Sheng sighed with a look of certainty.

"Except Wei Zhe, there will be no one else!"

Hou Sheng said.

Under the gray hair, Hou Sheng's wrinkled old face was full of trance at the moment. Hou Sheng couldn't believe that the aide beside Bai Yan was actually Wei Zhe, and Bai Yan was Wei Zhe's disciple.

"I finally understand why the reinforcements from Jucheng that King Qi, Tian Xie and others have been waiting for have not arrived yet, and there is no news at all!"

Hou Sheng said to himself, then looked at the heavy rain outside the window: "With Wei Zhe here! I'm afraid that in this lifetime, the King of Qi, Tian Xie and others will never be able to wait for the reinforcements from Jucheng to arrive!"

In the study, you can clearly see the heavy rain outside the window, and you can also see a flash of light.

After hearing what Qi Xiang Hou Sheng said, not only Du Ju looked dazed, but even the three brothers Hou Yao and Hou Qing were not in a much better mood at this moment.

"Prepare the carriage. I will go to the palace immediately to see the King of Qi!"

Hou Sheng suddenly spoke, then looked at his eldest son Hou Yao.

"You have a close relationship with Bai Yan. Of the money Bai Yan sent you during this period, you secretly sent half of it to Shanwu City! Remember, don't let anyone else know about this!"

Hou Sheng instructed.

After confirming that the old man beside Bai Yan was Wei Zhe, he thought that Bai Yan was now in Qin State, deeply trusted by Ying Zheng, and had been promoted to the rank of Daliangzao. He also held the military power of the northern border. In Qi State, Bai Yan was not only Tian Ding's son-in-law, but his mentor was also Wei Zhe. With the connections between Tian Ding and Wei Zhe, Hou Sheng couldn't imagine how powerful Bai Yan would be in the future, and how extensive the connections and influence attached to Bai Yan would be in the whole world.

"Don't worry, father! I will make the arrangements right away. I saw Bai Yan when I left the city earlier, and I noticed that Bai Yan had no concubines by his side. I have been thinking about finding a beauty in the city and bringing her out of the city to give to Bai Yan these past two days!"

Hou Yao nodded, signaling his father not to worry.

Due to the heavy rain, in the dim sky, no one knew what time it was.

Just after Hou Sheng went to the Qi palace in the rain, Du Ju also left the mansion, and Hou Sheng's son Hou Yao also began to get busy, arranging servants to move valuables, preparing to send boxes of valuables out of the city overnight.

Don't know how long it has been.

In the mansion's kitchen, several servants put the newly delivered wood into the stove and burned it.

"Who sent this wood? It smells so bad!"

"The wooden house is leaking, and the firewood we had before has all been soaked by the rain. It's good enough to still have firewood to burn. Besides, although this firewood produces thick smoke, it's not choking, but rather has a refreshing fragrance!"

The two servants who were lighting the fire waved their hands to clear the smoke in front of them, looked at the burning stove and talked privately. Then one of them came to the window, opened it, and let the thick smoke drift out.

Du Ju, who had finally returned to the mansion by carriage in the heavy rain, had been running around all day in the heavy rain. Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he felt the mansion was quiet after entering.

Without thinking too much, Du Ju quickly arrived at the main hall. However, when he stood at the gate, Du Ju suddenly stopped.

Because Du Ju suddenly saw several corpses lying in the main hall in the dim light. For an instant, Du Ju's face was filled with horror.

Dead...dead!
Were all the wives and concubines in the mansion killed?
Along with thunder and lightning in the sky, in the fleeting light, Du Ju clearly saw the corpse on the ground, and the blood was still slowly spreading, obviously the person had been killed not long ago.

The light in the sky disappeared. After a few breaths, accompanied by the sound of thunder in the sky, Du Ju, who was trembling all over, came to his senses. He turned around with fear on his face and ran out of the mansion desperately.

In heavy rain.

Inside the small courtyard, looking down, one could clearly see Du Ju running quickly in the heavy rain.

However, in the next moment, Du Ju, who had originally run across the courtyard, suddenly appeared again and retreated step by step, with his hand still on his neck. After a few breaths, Du Ju fell backwards to the ground in the rain. It could still be vaguely seen that at the place where Du Ju fell, a different water color instantly spread on the rain-covered ground.

Looking down at Du Ju's body, from the rain that kept flowing down the eaves, at this time, I saw a figure holding a sharp sword, who slowly walked out from under the eaves. Under his white hair, on his old face, one of his eyes was blind.

However, when his only remaining eye saw Du Ju lying on the ground, trembling several times, and then motionless, turning into a corpse, he took the bloody sword and turned away.

Under the night.

The lightning and thunder gradually disappeared, but the heavy rain continued to fall without stopping.

In the Jixia Academy, everyone who received the news gathered together to discuss the affairs of the palace. Especially when they learned that Concubine Qi suddenly changed her usual behavior and seemed to intend to persuade the King of Qi to surrender to Qin, everyone felt something was wrong.

"Who could it be?"

At the Jixia Academy, Master Pei, Mr. Lu and others were filled with disbelief.

During this period of time, he had been arguing with Hou Sheng and other officials who advocated surrendering to Qin. Although the King of Qi was willing to surrender to Qin, he was still hesitant and worried. Why was it that today, after Hou Sheng ordered his people to leave the city and the people returned, Hou Sheng went to the palace, and Concubine Li took the initiative to change her mind and helped Hou Sheng persuade the King of Qi to surrender to Qin.

At this time, everyone vaguely realized that there must be a master beside Bai Yan in the Qin army camp outside the city.

"Have you found out who Hou Sheng ordered to leave the city?"

Master Pei had no clue and could only look at Mr. Lu and ask.

"It's Du Ju. I've sent someone to Du Ju's residence. Please ask Du Ju to come..."

While Mr. Lu was speaking, there was suddenly a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. Everyone turned their heads and saw a student, who was soaking wet, kneeling on the ground with a look of panic.

"Master! He's dead! Du Ju's entire family was killed!"

The student, who looked to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven, looked at everyone with a pale face.

"what?"

"Du Ju is dead?"

After hearing what the student said, Master Pei, Mr. Lu and others were all stunned and looked at each other with confusion.

Du Ju was an official of Qi State and also a victorious figure. Who would dare to kill Du Ju at this time?

"Could it be Tian Dan?"

Old Lu looked at Master Pei.

Master Pei also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know about this. Then he looked at Mr. Tian and asked him if he knew about this.

"I don't know either. Can I ask? After getting the news, Tian Xie has already informed Tian Dan, Tian Heng and others. I believe Tian Dan, Tian Heng and others should have gathered with the nobles of the three places to discuss how to persuade the King of Qi!"

Mr. Tian shook his head and explained.

After Mr. Tian finished speaking, Mr. Lu looked at Mr. Pei.

"Should we send someone to question Tian Dan? If it was really Tian Dan who did it, then this move is undoubtedly extremely foolish and will only cause the King of Qi to..."

As Mr. Lu was talking, he suddenly thought of something, and Master Pei also thought of something at this time, and his pupils shrank.

"Someone is trying to frame Tian Dan and Tian Heng!"

"not good!"

Master Pei and Mr. Lu reacted and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and their expressions became solemn.

at the same time.

In the residence of the Prime Minister of Qi State, Hou Sheng's family, who had just finished dinner, were talking when a maid came in with tea. Under the watchful eyes of the guards, the tea was not given directly to Hou Sheng's family. Instead, a beauty drank the tea first, and after confirming that everything was fine, it was poured for Hou Sheng and his family.

For example, when it comes to preventing poisoning, not only Hou Sheng's family, but also many clan members and some ministers of Qi State will pay special attention. This applies not only to tea but also dinner. When traveling, they will be protected by entourage.

What one has to guard against is poisoning and assassination by enemies. After all, let alone in the royal palace, if one offends bureaucrats in the same dynasty or has factional enemies, those people will all wish the other person dead.

Even in the past, the family members liked to bully the common people and do things to bully men and women. Everyone was afraid that they would be assassinated by some knights at any time.

"This weather makes me especially sleepy! Father, brother, you two can talk first. Qing'er will go back and rest first!"

Hou Qing hugged his beautiful wife and said to his father Hou Sheng and Hou Yao.

"I am also a little sleepy, I will go back and rest first!"

When Hou Zhongsi thought of his beautiful concubine waiting for him, he smiled enthusiastically and stood up to salute his father and brother.

After Hou Yao watched Hou Qing and Hou Zhongsi leave, he chatted with his father for a while, then left the study and went back to rest.

Under the night.

Inside the backyard door, two servants were sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall, snoring. The sound of heavy rain covered up the noise outside. Even when a maid slowly came to the door and opened it, the two servants did not wake up.

Looking at the bodies lying on the ground in the heavy rain outside, the maid let the blind old man into the mansion.

Under the porch in the backyard.

Fei Leng held a bloody dagger in his backhand and looked at the eaves. Even the vicious dog in Prime Minister Qi's mansion had fallen asleep. A hint of surprise flashed in his only eye.

Following the location indicated by the maid, Fei Leng came to the kitchen, opened the door, and according to the previous instructions, opened a small porcelain container, sprinkled the powder inside on the wood, then lit the wood with the candle in the kitchen, watched the wood slowly burn, threw the candle into it, and looked at the thick smoke rising.

At this moment, Fei Leng felt that compared to himself, some people were born assassins who could kill people without being seen!

Compared to those people, I am just a tool that wields a sword and kills people!

Fei Leng didn't know where Wu Liejun found such a person, but Fei Leng knew better than anyone that he just had to follow orders and kill people. There were some things he shouldn't ask or know!
"Why does it smell?"

"I don't know! Never mind, I'm too sleepy. I'll just take a nap!"

Two burly attendants were leaning against the corridor. One of the attendants smelled a scent that seemed to come from somewhere, so he tried to open his eyes and looked around in a daze. Then he raised his weak hand and shook the other attendant. However, the other attendant was so sleepy that he was too lazy to open his eyes and continued to sleep with his eyes closed. In less than two breaths, he fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing this, the attendant, who had been standing but looked sleepy, didn't say much. Even he couldn't stand it anymore. He leaned against the wooden beam, closed his eyes, and vaguely felt a breeze. The attendant didn't think much about it.

At this moment, the attendant was too lazy to open his eyes. In his heart, even if he had to be skinned alive, he would rather let him have a good sleep before skinning him alive.

inside the room.

Hou Yao was lying naked on a beautiful woman and snoring. It was obvious that Hou Yao fell asleep halfway through the sex, and the remaining beauty was no exception.

At this moment, Hou Yao had no idea that in the other two rooms, Hou Zhongsi and Hou Qing had already become corpses, lying on the beds.

Hou Yao vaguely felt a chill on his neck and a slight itch. He instinctively reached out to scratch it, but when he touched something hard, he touched it again.

next moment.

Accompanied by severe pain in his neck, Hou Yao opened his eyes, turned his head, and looked at the figure slowly leaving the dim room. He wanted to speak, but blood kept flowing out of his mouth. While twitching, Hou Yao, with a cold body, slowly fell on the beauty under him, staring at his sleeping concubine with his eyes open, and finally remained motionless with his eyes open.

"Cough cough cough~!"

In Hou Sheng's room, the elderly Hou Sheng kept coughing. The severe pain made Hou Sheng open his eyes slightly.

In a daze, Hou Sheng vaguely noticed that the door was opened.

Hou Sheng, who had been an official in Qi State and had seen many ups and downs, and had come step by step, naturally noticed that something was wrong, and a trace of panic emerged in his heart.

Without calling out, the maids and servants dared not come into the room.

Why would someone come in?
Hou Sheng was puzzled, but when he tried to speak, he found his voice was hoarse and his whole body was weak. He even wanted to kick the beauty who warmed his feet at night, but he could only move his toes and had no strength at all.

Hou Sheng, filled with despair, looked at the figure gradually approaching. What he thought of in his mind was not only that the beauty who warmed his feet was only 30 years old, but also a beauty in Linzi City. Before she became Hou Sheng's concubine, she was sought after by many people in the world.

Hou Sheng also thought about how his elder sister looked when she was alive, and his nephew, King Jian of Qi. Qi was about to be destroyed, and he was about to be with Bai Yan, and was about to be rewarded by King Ying Zheng of Qin...

"Somebody come!"

Hou Sheng felt the coldness coming from his neck and tried his best. His old face showed a ferocious look in his eyes. However, this tiny cry would not be responded to by anyone in the dim night.

The beauty under Hou Sheng's feet did not wake up! The mansion was also quiet at this moment!

Half an hour later.

"There's a fire!!! Put it out quickly!!!"

"Fire!"

Inside the Qi State Prime Minister's Mansion, servants and maids were running back and forth in panic, shouting in alarm. However, even more than the fire in the mansion, there were also screams of fear coming from the maids, beauties, wives and concubines in the rooms.

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

Under the night.

During the heavy rain, the only one who had not slept was Bai Yan, who was kneeling in the tent.

The wicks of several candles had been lighted several times by the burly Niu. Whenever Niu saw Bai Yan kneeling in front of the wooden table with his eyes closed, not going to rest for a long time, as if waiting for something, although he was worried and his burly face was full of sleepiness, he didn't know what to say and could only accompany Bai Yan.

"General! News from the city!"

After an unknown amount of time, a scream made Niu, who was about to fall down with his eyes closed, quickly open his eyes. Looking at the scouts and soldiers who were soaked all over, Niu quickly perked up, stood up, took a scroll of bamboo slips from the soldiers, and turned around to hand it to Bai Yan.

"General!"

Niu handed the bamboo slips to Bai Yan, his eyes full of curiosity. He wondered what was so important about these bamboo slips that made Bai Yan wait until late at night.

"Bullshit! Go down and rest!"

After reading the bamboo slips, Bai Yan's expression finally relaxed a little. He looked at Niu, who had a sleepy face, and spoke softly.

"What about the general?"

Seeing this, Niu nodded, but he was worried about Bai Yan, so he could only stare at Bai Yan. His burly face and expression made him look particularly silly.

"I'm asleep too!"

Bai Yan said with a smile, looking at Niu's appearance, he felt a little touched.

Regardless of whether today's affairs can go smoothly or not, and regardless of what the consequences may be, if the King of Qi does not surrender within two days, Bai Yan will prepare to attack the city!
Take advantage of the chaos in Qi and the panic among the people in the city!

"promise!"

Niu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and saluted Bai Yan, then turned and left.

The next day.

The rainstorm dissipated, and as the morning light appeared in the sky, irregular white mist continued to appear on the earth.

The sky was exceptionally clear after the heavy rain, and the early morning sun gradually shone from afar onto the mountains and rivers.

In the Qin army camp, Bai Yan watched the Qin soldiers who got up early for training. As he walked, he looked at the number of soldiers who were unwell due to yesterday's heavy rain.

After instructing the commanders of each camp to make proper arrangements for the sick soldiers and ordering them to go to other villages and cities to buy herbs, Bai Yan saw an official from Qi State hurriedly coming under the leadership of Qin soldiers.

"Lord Wu Lie! Lord Wu Lie! The King of Qi is willing to surrender to Qin! The King of Qi has made up his mind to surrender to Qin!"

Before the Qi official approached, he raised his hand and shouted as he walked.

After hearing the words of the Qi official, both the Qin soldiers in training and the many Qin generals beside Bai Yan were all surprised, and then looked at each other in ecstasy.

what?
The King of Qi surrendered? He was leaving the city to surrender to Qin?

In other words, not only do they not need to storm Linzi City now, but in the future, except for the Xiongnu, Yuezhi, and Donghu in the north, they will no longer have to run around and fight everywhere!
Thinking of this, countless Qin soldiers who were training with long spears and Qin swords all stood on the ground in a daze. At this moment, everyone's expression was full of joy and trance.

When this moment really arrived and those words were really heard, everyone felt a little dazed and their tense hearts gradually relaxed.
