Chapter 706 Wu Yun was stunned, Wu Gao didn’t say anything?
Looking at the cute little girl, Bai Yan couldn't help but squat down. The thoughts in his mind made Bai Yan's breathing disordered. He was nervous, with disbelief, and seemed confused, and there was also a hint of expectation.
Under the gaze of Wu Yun and Wu Gao, Bai Yan looked a little nervous and raised his hand cautiously.
This was the first time in his life that Bai Yan was so nervous about a little girl, just like when he was in Han before his first battle, looking at the countless enemies on the city wall...
However, while thinking, Bai Yan's handsome face was full of tension. He looked at his hands and thought about how many people he had killed with his hands.
In an instant, there was a look of helplessness, fear, and a hint of guilt in Bai Yan's eyes.
Wu Yun had been keeping her head down, and although she said nothing, she was stroking her daughter's head with one hand, but her eyes were always paying attention to Bai Yan's actions. Compared with Bai Yan, Wu Yun was not much better, but when she saw Bai Yan's expression, the fear and guilt in his eyes when he looked at her hand, Wu Yun instantly knew what Bai Yan was thinking.
However, just as Bai Yan's hand moved and he was about to withdraw it, Wu Yun also became nervous.
A tender little hand slowly raised up under Wu Yun's gaze, and a little finger carefully pointed at Bai Yan's hand hanging in the air.
Wu Nian, who was holding Wu Yun's thigh, seemed a little curious as to why this handsome person in front of him had calluses all over his palms. Small scars could be seen on the palms, backs of his hands, and even on his fingers.
aside.
Wu Yun looked at Bai Yan squatting on the ground. After seeing Nian'er touching him, he smiled with excitement. Any resentment in his beautiful eyes seemed to disappear at this moment.
Most women are sensitive, and Wu Yun had never dared to imagine this scene.
"Nian'er, have you ever asked your mother why you named her Nian'er?"
Bai Yan looked at the girl's eyes, which were full of curiosity as she looked at him, and asked with a smile. Then he carefully grabbed the little hand in his palm and gently pulled the girl over.
Wu Nian looked at his mother Wu Yun and saw that his mother did not give any instructions and seemed curious about the man in front of her. Wu Nian did not refuse.
"Mother never said that!"
Wu Nian shook his head in Bai Yan's arms.
When Wu Yun heard the conversation between Bai Yan and his daughter, her ears had already turned red and her little hands were pinching the corners of her clothes.
"Who are you?"
When Wu Nian was picked up by Bai Yan, he couldn't help but look at Bai Yan in front of him and asked curiously, his two watery little eyes constantly looking at Bai Yan.
"Nian'er, ask your mother!"
Bai Yan hugged Wu Nian. Although he was very sure in his heart, at this moment, he still played a trick. With a smile, he turned his gaze to Wu Yun.
Seeing Bai Yan's gaze, Wu Yun's breathing became more disordered. She didn't like Bai Yan's asking questions even though she knew the answer. A little anger was rising in her heart. However, when she saw her daughter in Bai Yan's arms, looking at her with curiosity.
Looking at her daughter's eyes, Wu Yun was stunned. When she came to her senses, she looked at Bai Yan again and realized that Bai Yan wanted her, the mother, to tell her daughter in person first.
"Mother! Who is this person?"
Wu Nian asked in a baby voice.
Although Wu Nian can run and walk, he is still very young and looks like a child, with a baby's voice.
"Nian'er, this man... is your father!"
Facing her daughter's gaze, Wu Yun's eyes flickered a few times, but she finally sighed, as if admitting defeat.
And following Wu Yun's words.
Wu Gao's pupils widened, looking at his elder sister in disbelief. Wu Nian's little face didn't react either. Then he remembered what his father meant and what his father meant. He quickly turned his head and looked at Bai Yan with unfamiliar and expectant eyes. The expression on his little face suddenly disappeared.
Compared to Wu Gao and Wu Nian, Bai Yan was the one whose heart trembled the moment he heard Wu Yun’s admission.
After confirming that it was really his daughter, Bai Yan looked at Nian'er in his arms nervously. Seeing Nian'er's eyes and little face, Bai Yan felt even more guilty and distressed.
She didn't know who her father was since she was a child!
"Sister!"
Wu Gao couldn't help it anymore and stepped forward. After seeing Bai Yan nod in greeting, Wu Gao also nodded politely in return. Then he couldn't care less and quickly pulled Wu Yun aside.
"Why did my elder sister bring Bai Yan back to the mansion? Why did she tell Bai Yan that Nian'er was her daughter?"
Wu Gao asked doubtfully.
At first Wu Gao didn't understand why his eldest sister went out to look for her deceased father's family, but why did she bring Bai Yan back? He had clearly asked the governor of Xingyang before, and he knew that Bai Yan and his group would not pass through Xingyang.
Even if the defender of Xingyang City had ten courages, he would never dare to deceive himself.
"Didn't you tell Bai Yan everything?"
When Wu Yun saw the appearance of her younger brother Wu Gao, she immediately understood what was going on. Her beautiful eyes widened quietly, and she immediately turned around and looked at Bai Yan who was talking carefully to his daughter.
Bai Yan! Actually, I never knew...
He was deceiving himself just now!
"This! Eldest sister..."
Wu Gao looked at his elder sister and instantly understood what was going on, sighing helplessly.
A moment later, in the study.
Wu Gao knelt behind the wooden table, watching Bai Yan who was reluctant to let go of Wu Nian from beginning to end, while Wu Nian also spoke to Bai Yan with a smile on his face. This scene made Wu Gao at a loss for words.
"Father, why didn't you come to see Nian'er before?"
Wu Nian looked at his father curiously.
The word "father" was very unfamiliar to Wu Nian. Although the old teacher had taught her that everyone has parents, neither the old teacher nor her uncle had ever told her who her father was.
Every time she asked her mother, she would remain silent and leave with red eyes not long after. Once she asked her uncle why her mother left when she asked her, her uncle said that her mother was sad. Over time, she didn't dare to ask again.
Now, seeing his father for the first time, Wu Nian's little eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Father is always out leading troops to fight! Every time he wants to see your mother, she won't let him!"
Bai Yan explained with a smile and couldn't help but glance at Wu Yun beside him. It seemed that Wu Yun was still a little angry because he had just lied to her again.
"Leading troops to fight?"
When Wu Nian heard this, his two little eyes showed surprise.
"The old man said that those who can lead troops to fight are all generals, majestic and awe-inspiring, with swords drawn and spears pointed at wherever they go. So, is my father a general when he leads troops to fight?"
Wu Nian looked at his father in front of him excitedly, with indescribable expectation in his eyes, as if he really wanted to know whether his father was the general the old gentleman mentioned, the kind who could lead troops to fight in a majestic manner.
"Nian'er hopes that his father is a general, and he is!"
Bai Yan looked at his daughter with a smile. The first time in his life he felt proud of being a general was because of his grandmother. And now, seeing his daughter's question, this was the second time Bai Yan felt proud of being a general.
Especially after seeing her daughter get the answer, she laughed excitedly in her arms, with the corners of her mouth raised, and looked at Wu Yun with an incredible expression.
"Mother, uncle! Is father really a general?"
Wu Nian looked at his mother and asked excitedly, with the corners of his mouth raised in a way that Wu Yun rarely saw.
When Wu Yun heard her daughter's question, she looked at Bai Yan's gaze. For some reason, looking at her daughter's smile and Bai Yan's expression, even Wu Yun couldn't help but feel relieved for the first time because of Bai Yan's identity.
Before this, every time Wu Yun thought of Bai Yan's identity, it brought her endless pain.
"……Yes!"
Wu Yun nodded.
Looking at Bai Yan, if it weren't for the shame and anger in her heart, if it weren't for their respective experiences, Wu Yun would have wanted to tell her daughter at this moment that the father in front of her was more than just a general.
The father in front of her is now the Great Liangzao of Qin State, a general of Qin State who commands the entire northern border garrison.
When Qin conquered the six kingdoms, her father participated in the conquest of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, and Qi! Even the nomadic tribes in the north were killed so hard that they dared not easily go south again. Everyone in the world knew his name!
"Ugh!"
Wu Gao looked at his niece who had gotten the answer and was cheering in Bai Yan's arms. After exchanging a glance with his elder sister, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Not to mention the eldest sister, even Wu Gao couldn't help laughing and crying when he heard Nian'er's question. He didn't know how to answer Nian'er or how to tell Nian'er how powerful her father was.
"Sister, it's late, I'll take my leave now and come back tomorrow!"
Wu Gao looked at the night and watched Bai Yan from beginning to end, his attention and gaze never left Nian'er.
Knowing that they probably wouldn't talk about serious matters tonight, Wu Gao didn't want to stay any longer and let his elder sister and Bai Yan accompany Nian'er. After all, this was the first time that Nian'er was accompanied by his parents.
When Bai Yan saw Wu Gao leaving, he stood up and saluted, looked at Wu Gao, and nodded to each other.
"Why did you lie to me just now?"
After Wu Gao left, Wu Yun looked at Nian'er who came over with a happy face. Seeing her daughter's happy look, she also smiled. However, when she saw Bai Yan's gaze, the smile on her face disappeared instantly. Her beautiful eyes stared at Bai Yan, as if she wanted to settle the score afterwards.
"If not, I might not even be able to see Nian'er, let alone see her!"
Seeing Wu Yunwen's angry look, Bai Yan explained with a silly smile.
In fact, at the beginning, Bai Yan didn't expect that he could trick Wu Yun into getting his daughter out. It was only at this time that he realized that he already had a daughter!
Under candlelight.
In the room, Bai Yan watched to see if Nian'er was in Wu Yun's arms. She would come over to hug him from time to time and ask about his experiences and observations.
As his daughter asked, Bai Yan held Nian'er and slowly told her under the candlelight, about the interesting things that happened when he met Feng Nian, and when he first entered the Qin army camp, he met a man named Gui, a man named You Zhuang, a man named Xi, and also people named Yu Sui, Zhuang Jing, Gong Ze, and Liang Lang.
At that time, they ate and drank together, played together, and trained together. They also drank together in a restaurant called Buguilou in Lantian City late at night. They made an agreement to go to the battlefield and live and die together!
"Father, what's wrong?"
Nian'er was listening and felt a little sleepy, but she felt her father's tone suddenly become low and hoarse. She looked at her father with her tired little eyes, and saw her father holding her, his eyes flickering slightly under the candlelight.
Nian'er remembered that her mother used to touch her gently when she was sad, so Nian'er gently raised her hand and touched her father's cheek with her tender little hand.
"Father misses them! Father thinks that if they were still alive, they would be very excited to see that father has daughters!"
Bai Yan looked at his daughter's little hand and said with a smile.
Years passed in the blink of an eye. When Bai Yan saw his daughter in his arms and thought about his past experiences, he really wished Liang Lang, Yu Sui, and Xi could see his daughter.
How nice it would be if they were still alive!
Opposite the wooden table.
Wu Yun looked at Bai Yan and her eyes dimmed. Unlike the previous encounter with Xu Zixiao, this was the first time Wu Yun heard Bai Yan's story and heard Bai Yan's detailed experience.
Unlike the high-spirited, mysterious, and calm Xu Zixiao, the Bai Yan that Wu Yun sees now has the loneliness of his youth, the hardships along the way, the courage after joining the army, and the heroic ambition that makes people look sideways.
Compared with Xu Zixiao, Bai Yan's experience is not that good, and even his experience of going to the Bai family mansion was criticized.
But this kind of Bai Yan is extremely real.
Every step forward was not easy for Bai Yan. If he was not careful, he might not have survived to this day, whether he was in the Bai family mansion or in the army, let alone becoming the Great Liangzao of Qin.
Half an hour later, Wu Yun watched her daughter, who had been excited all night, finally fall into a deep sleep. She then came to Bai Yan and prepared to hold her daughter to sleep.
However, when seeing Bai Yan holding his daughter, Wu Yun finally did not refuse. After leaving the room, she walked all the way to the boudoir under the light of the candle held by the maid.
"When I led the troops on the battlefield, I had no choice but to do so..."
As the candles in the boudoir were lit, Bai Yan put his daughter on the bed and confirmed that she had not woken up. Then he turned around and looked at Wu Yun and said.
What happened at Lu Zuoshan has always been a thorn in the side of Wu Yun and Bai Yan. This was also the first time that Bai Yan took the initiative to mention what happened at Lu Zuoshan.
Back then at Luzuo Mountain, Bai Yan had no choice but to kill people.
Bai Yu was poisoned, and his title was not high enough to allow him to lead the Bai family cavalry. He had to make enough military achievements, and Bai Yan had no other choice at that time.
"My brother is Han, I don't blame you! Besides, you also saved me and Gao..."
Wu Yun lowered her brows and slowly lowered her head.
Now Wu Yun is also very confused. She had planned to never see Bai Yan again in this life. She didn't want to have any connection with Bai Yan anymore, nor did she want her daughter to have any connection with Bai Yan.
But at this moment, Bai Yan's sudden appearance and two simple sentences were enough to trick her.
They are truly destined to be enemies!
"The king has urgently summoned Yan to return to Xianyang. This time, no matter what happens in Xianyang, if Yan can still leave alive, can you please not leave again?"
Bai Yan approached Wu Yun and asked softly.
Wu Yun lowered her head, but when she heard Bai Yan's words, her heart trembled. For some reason, she felt a little flustered. She looked up at Bai Yan, and an unnatural look of worry revealed her eyes.
"Why did Ying Zheng need to be summoned urgently? Why couldn't he...escape?"
Wu Yun asked. In fact, when he heard the news, although Wu Gao deliberately did not mention this matter and did not want to mention Bai Yan in front of Wu Yun, Wu Yun knew very well that Ying Zheng's urgent summons was too hasty and vaguely revealed some problems.
There are also rumors among the people that Bai Yan's achievements are so great that they frighten the emperor, and the day he returns to Xianyang, he will be the same person as Bai Qi!
"King Qin has shown great trust and promotion to Bai Yan!"
Bai Yan shook his head, looked at Wu Yun's worried eyes, and couldn't help but smile.
"Bai Yan has prepared poison this time. If anything goes wrong, either he will be beheaded or he will fake his death and leave Xianyang!"
Bai Yan explained.
The poison was prepared by Master Xu for Bai Yan when they were in Linzi. As long as he faked his death and buried himself in the grave, there would be a glimmer of hope. He could take the antidote after leaving Xianyang, but this glimmer of hope was very slim.
After all, it will be buried in the mausoleum and then dug out, so no one can be sure.
What's more, if something really happened, Bai Yan might not even have the chance to commit suicide by drinking poison.
"Look at the end of Shang Yang, look at the end of Bai Qi, look at the end of Lu Buwei, I don't understand why they have to serve Ying Zheng~!"
Wu Yun's eyes were red and she didn't look at Bai Yan.
Thinking of her daughter's happy look in the study just now, happily calling Bai Yan, calling him father over and over again, clinging to Bai Yan's arms and refusing to leave, Wu Yun's voice already had a hint of crying, and her eyes were filled with tears, but she was stubborn and refused to let them fall.
She had already prepared herself to never see Bai Yan again in her life, but Bai Yan suddenly appeared in front of her, catching her off guard!
But now, she had finally let go and felt happy again, but Bai Yan told her that this trip to Xianyang might be bad or not!
Thinking of this, Wu Yun closed her eyes and two lines of tears instantly slid down her pretty face.
Until he hugged Wu Yun.
"I have always let you suffer injustice!"
After Bai Yan finished speaking, he felt the slight trembling of the beauty in his arms, and his heart was filled with guilt. He had been deceiving Wu Yun from the very beginning, and had been deceiving Wu Yun until the end. Even just now in the small house, he was still deceiving Wu Yun.
Bai Yan also understood that the person Wu Yun least wanted to see was him!
The moment he saw his daughter, Bai Yan realized that compared to the kindness that Tian Feiyan had shown in taking care of his family and grandmother, what he owed Wu Yun would be very difficult to repay.
But right now, the world is not stable, so we have to go to Xianyang.
As the other states perished, they were annexed by the Qin State! Bai Yan, who had experienced the bloodshed on the battlefield and life and death, hoped more than anyone else that the world would be stable, that the people around him would no longer experience the chaos, and that Wu Yun and his daughter would live a good life.
Bai Yan, who knows everything about future generations, is the only one in the world who knows how many people will die in more than ten years if left unchecked.
In the next twenty years, more than half of the world's population will die!
Surpassing the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!
Bai Yan has never told anyone about these things. He has always kept them in his heart, and has been trying alone to find a way to change them.
If Bai Yan did not go to Xianyang in response to Ying Zheng’s urgent summons, it would be tantamount to giving up his rights and the opportunity to change future generations!
If Bai Yan decided to go to Xianyang when he looked at his grandmother, his parents, his brother, his teacher, Bao, Zhao Qiu, and thought of Tian Feiyan, then now, when he saw Wu Yun and his daughter, Bai Yan was even more determined.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate!
If there is no prosperous age in the future, I will create one!
inside the room.
In the quiet atmosphere, Bai Yan, with an extremely determined look in his eyes, watched his daughter fall asleep and felt that the beautiful woman in his arms had recovered.
Thinking of the debt he had always owed, after letting the beauty go, he finally stopped hesitating. Before Wu Yun could react, he picked her up and walked out of the room step by step.
Wu Yun was breathing rapidly as she watched Bai Yan's actions. Her mind went blank. After she came to her senses, she thought of Bai Yan's intentions and her eyes were filled with panic. At this moment, Wu Yun was completely dazed and didn't know how to start.
Seeing this, the maid outside the door saw Wu Yun's appearance, and hurriedly lowered her head, closed the door, and took Bai Yan to another room.
Half an hour later.
In a room, next to a bed, clothes were scattered on the ground in a mess. Exquisite silk clothes, ribbons with the scent of women, and men's clothes were scattered all over the ground, accompanied by the woman's voice, which spread throughout the room and faintly reached the night outside the room.
Outside the room, in the dim courtyard, not only can you see the stars and the bright moon in the night sky, but you can also hear the endless chirping of cicadas. It turns out that without knowing when, it has already been the 'Cicada Month'.
