Qin Gong

Chapter 682 Wu Liejun?

Chapter 682 Wu Liejun?

"Go quickly!!!"

In Linzi City, Gongzi Sheng, Tian Dan and others kept urging the coachman to hurry up, but the news of the Qin army's attack caused chaos in the city. The crowded people came and went, the Qi soldiers holding long spears and swords were going to the tower, and the carriages of the nobles were in a panic to get on the road...

No matter how anxious Gongzi Sheng and others were, the carriage was inside the city and could not move at all.

"Sir, I'm afraid it's too late to leave the city now!"

Tian Heng lifted the curtain and looked at the chaotic streets of Linzi in front of him. He frowned and turned to look at Gongzi Sheng.

"Why don't you let my cousin and I take care of the matter of going out of the city to meet Bai Yan? Young Master, go to the palace and report this matter to the King of Qi first, and ask the King of Qi to set off and go outside the city to meet Bai Yan's parents!"

Tian Heng suggested.

When Gongzi Sheng and Tian Dan heard Tian Heng's words, they looked at each other.

"The Qin army is about to arrive in Linzi. Let father leave the city now! What if the Qin army is not good for father? "

Gongzi Sheng asked back.

Tian Dan also nodded on the side. Tian Heng's suggestion was naturally good. If the King of Qi could leave the city and meet Bai Yan's family in person, and persuade them with both emotion and reason, if Bai Yan was really from a humble background, there would be no worry that Bai Yan's family would persuade Bai Yan to be loyal to Qi and lead the troops to withdraw after meeting the King of Qi.

But...it would be too risky to let the King of Qi leave the city at this time.

"My lord, King Huai of Chu was deceived by Qin in the past, but Chu was not in danger of extinction. On the contrary, Qin's actions aroused the anger of the world, and other countries attacked Qin..."

Tian Heng looked at Gongzi Sheng's confusion, hesitated, listened to the commotion outside the carriage, and finally explained to Gongzi Sheng carefully.

A few words.

The voice was not loud, but when it fell into the ears of Gongzi Sheng and Tian Dan, their faces changed in shock.

What does Tian Heng mean? This means that if the King of Qi is captured by the Qin army, it will be a good thing for Qi!

In this way, the Qi people, the Qi nobles, and the old clans of the former countries in the city would all unite as one to resist the Qin army. Even the officials who were once pro-Qin would not dare to say anything to stop Qin when they saw its actions.

"No! This is our father, Sheng. We must not do anything unjust or unfilial!"

Gongzi Sheng was a prince of Qi State and had been with countless important figures since childhood. But when he heard Tian Heng's words, Gongzi Sheng's face was full of panic and fear. In the end, he shook his head to reject Tian Heng's words.

Tian Dan, who was standing aside, was stunned for a moment after hearing Tian Heng's words. Then he reacted and immediately looked at Tian Heng. Looking at the hesitant Gongzi Sheng, both of them frowned.

The words were so blunt. The two men thought of what Master Pei had said in the Qi palace, and realized that the King of Qi was already afraid of them.

"Well! I just said it out of turn, please don't blame me, young master!"

Tian Heng saluted Gongzi Sheng and his words were still apologetic, as if what he had just said was unintentional and should not be taken seriously.

Seeing his cousin Tian Dan's puzzled look, Tian Heng did not explain, but continued to look at Gongzi Sheng.

"But if the King of Qi does not leave the city to show his sincerity, I am afraid that you and the three of us will find it difficult to persuade Bai Yan. Now that the people are in a panic everywhere and it is difficult to leave the city, how about we go to the academy first? Please ask the chief priest to discuss with the elders and find a solution!"

When Tian Heng said this, he turned to look at Tian Dan standing beside him and gave him a reassuring look.

"Bai Yan is Tian Jin's disciple. Tian Jin has many old friends in the academy. Bai Yan will definitely remember their old friendship. In this way, whether the chief priest brings people to see Bai Yan or the chief priest follows the King of Qi out of the city, there is no need to worry about the safety of the King of Qi. What do you think, sir?"

Tian Heng looked at Gongzi Sheng and spoke again.

Gongzi Sheng looked at Tian Heng, glanced at Tian Dan, then thought about it and nodded.

"Okay, let's go to the Jixia Academy first, meet the chief priest and others, and tell them about this!"

Gongzi Sheng said nervously.

It's not Gongzi Sheng's fault that he was nervous, but Tian Heng's words just now really scared Gongzi Sheng. It was good enough that he could calm down while still feeling scared.

Tian Heng heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and exchanged a glance with Tian Dan without leaving a trace. There was a sinister gleam in the eyes of both of them.

The State of Qi was about to be destroyed. If they did not want to become the next country to be destroyed, they could no longer consider Prince Sheng's feelings. They did not believe that Prince Sheng would really kill them, all his relatives, and all the officials and nobles who had supported him in the past.

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

Water village.

In front of the wooden house, Bai Yan walked out step by step, already wearing Qin armor, a Qin Daliang-made robe on his head, and the famous sword Zhanlu on his waist.

Not to mention the farmers who grew up in the village, even the scholars and Wu who had followed the Zhan family for many years, saw Bai Yan's appearance, all of them dared not say a word, and many of the villagers who were captured had tears on their cheeks and were full of regret.

It is hard to imagine that a strong man in his twenties, thirties, or even forties would lie on the ground with a look of fear on his face, crying, his hands and feet trembling, with a trace of water spreading between his thighs.

"General, how should we deal with these people?"

Niu bowed to Bai Yan and asked.

Bai Yan was originally looking at his parents' smiling faces, but when he heard Niu's question, he looked at those people who had just wanted to beat his father and snatch his brother's wife, his eyes were full of indifference.

However, before Bai Yan could reply, a soldier came forward and reported that an official from Qi who claimed to be a historian wanted to see the general.

"Bring someone here!"

When Bai Yan heard the words of the soldiers and thought of the previous behavior of the clerk, he did not refuse.

"These people will all be punished according to Qin's laws for the crimes of private fighting, causing trouble, and plundering people!"

Bai Yan said to Niu.

Bai Yan did not let his soldiers kill the villagers directly, but dealt with them according to Qin law. Since the cavalry had arrived, Bai Yan did not want to kill anyone in front of his parents.

Bai Yan didn't want his parents to be afraid of him.

When Bai Yan turned his head and looked at his panicked parents, he saw them as strangers.

"Dad! Mom! Brother, how do you like Yan'er's clothes?"

Bai Yan asked with a forced smile, his expression and tone were completely different from before he turned around.

But no matter what Bai Yan was like, in the eyes of Shi and Yan's father, as a couple who had been villagers since childhood and had never been to any other place except Linzi, and had never seen any important figures, they suddenly saw their second son wearing armor and a sword at his waist. For a short time, they still felt a little confused and unfamiliar.

Especially when they heard the second son speaking, more than 20 villagers in the yard nearby were all crying and begging to be taken away by the Qin soldiers.

"Please, General, let us go!!!"

"My dear relatives, we are wrong! My dear relatives!! My daughter and son-in-law, my parents are wrong!! Please save me!"

The heart-wrenching cries of pleading spread to every corner of the garden.

As arrogant and unreasonable as those people were at the beginning, they looked just as funny at this moment.

However, no matter who it is, if anyone dares to struggle and resist, the cavalry soldiers will simply use their fists or legs to stomp on their head with all their strength.

How ferocious those who risked their lives on the battlefield were, how strong the soldiers who survived the mountains of corpses and seas of blood were, it could be seen from the fact that those villagers only took two hits, the better ones had bloody heads and were dying, while the more serious ones were killed without making any sound and were motionless.

This scene.

All the villagers inside and outside the small courtyard who saw it trembled again and again with the Qin army's footsteps, looking at the cavalry soldiers with terrified eyes, their eyes full of fear.

"Yan'er!"

Perhaps the Xun family couldn't bear it, or perhaps they had never experienced such things before. Deep down, the idea that big things can be reduced to small things and that human life is of paramount importance is deeply rooted in their bones.

So when she heard the villagers begging and crying as they were dragged away, she instinctively turned around and looked at Bai Yan.

"Mother, if there was no one here just now, do you know what would have happened to my brother and sister-in-law? Do you know what would have happened to my brother and father?"

Bai Yan looked at his kind mother, remained silent for a few breaths, his smile faded, and then he spoke softly.

Even Bai Yan didn't dare to imagine what would happen to their family if they had no one to rely on, and how they would be bullied.

Bai Yan knew that his mother couldn't bear it, and seeing his father's strange yet familiar eyes looking at him, Bai Yan looked at his father with apology, hoping that his father could understand.

"Catch those guys!"

Bai Yan turned around and without showing any mercy, pointed directly at Ping's lover and the four scholars.

"We are all from Qi! We are all from Qi, why are you Qin people arresting us? General, let us go!!"

"General, we were wrong! Please let us go!!!"

When Ping's husband saw the Qin soldiers coming, he was terrified and wanted to scold them. However, as he saw the Qin soldiers getting closer and closer, with eyes that were countless times more ferocious than those of the Linzi patrol officers, he became completely panicked and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Bai Yan.

The scholar named Yan Liu and the other three stopped talking and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

This scene.

The villagers of Shui Village outside the small garden all watched quietly, thinking back to the few scholars whom they did not dare to provoke and could only try to please. Now they saw the situation like this. The huge gap made everyone look at Shui Yan, who was now wearing the armor of the Qin army and giving orders to the Qin army soldiers.

"General! We were wrong!!!"

Wu stood aside, trembling as he looked at the several soldiers who were captured beside him. Seeing them begging for mercy miserably, Wu felt cold all over. He turned his head and looked at Shui Yan with a pale face.

At this time, before Wu could hear how Shui Yan was going to deal with these people, he saw outside the small courtyard, the Lingshi of Linzi City, an old official wearing the official uniform of Qi State, had followed the Qin soldiers and quickly came into the yard.

"Minister Wei Xi of Qi pays homage to Lord Wu Lie!"

When the clerk arrived in the yard and saw with his own eyes that the man who had led the way in the past was now wearing Qin army uniform and armor and wearing a Qin Daliangzao hat on his head, the clerk hurried forward and saluted Bai Yan.

When they arrived at the cemetery, they realized that the man named Yan who had led the way was Qin Daliang. After reporting Yan, the clerk led his men out of the cemetery without any hesitation. After leaving the cemetery, the clerk did not choose to return to Linzi immediately, but came directly to Shui Village.

In the past few years, the Qin State has annexed the world, and now, the Qin cavalry will soon arrive outside the city of Linzi. Ling Shi is already old, how could he not know what to choose? How could he not know that no matter what Qin Qi does, this is his chance.

As the ceremony was being performed, the clerk, who had not yet finished and had not yet looked up and let go, heard exclamations from all over the courtyard and outside.

"Wu Liejun?"

"Wu Liejun?"

"Wu Lie-kun!!!!"

Inside and outside the small courtyard, whether it was the shivering fog, the several scholars of Yan Liu who were escorted by the soldiers, or Ping's beloved, or even the villagers of Shui Village.

When everyone heard the words of the historian, they didn't react at first. Wu Liejun? What Wu Liejun? That was clearly Shui Yan, who somehow became a general and could command the Qin Army's cavalry...

衍？

Wu Liejun?

Wu Liejun, Bai Yan!!!

In an instant, a thought slowly emerged in the villagers' minds.

After everyone reacted, their faces changed drastically, their pupils widened, and they all looked in surprise and horror at the man in the small courtyard who was wearing Qin armor and a noble hat.

Bai Yan!

Shui Yan is Bai Yan!!!

Shui Yan of Shui Village is Bai Yan, the great Qin State official who is widely talked about in Linzi City!!!

At this moment, not only Wu and all the villagers were stunned, even Yanfu and Xishi opened their mouths slightly, stood there with dull and wooden expressions, looked at Lingshi in disbelief, and then looked at the second son who was wearing Qin armor beside them.

His own son, his second son, is the Qin general that has been talked about everywhere in recent years?

The Bai Yan who held a high position of power in the Qin State, not only had fiefdoms but was also the confidant of King Ying Zheng of Qin?

Yanfu's honest and dull face was completely confused, and Shi Xi was not much better. Shui Shou was even more so, looking at his second brother with a confused look on his face.

At the side, Yunhan's face, with traces of tears still visible on it, was expressionless as she stared blankly at her uncle.

Bai Yan?

She had heard of the famous Qin general countless times, and her eldest son and even the children in the village had argued countless times about becoming the general of Qin. But...

Is he your brother-in-law?

Outside the small courtyard.

Everyone looked at Shui Yan in a daze, watching Shui Yan return the greeting to Ling Shi.

The villagers of Shui Village outside the small courtyard could no longer hear what Bai Yan said. All the villagers' heads were buzzing at this moment.

None of them had imagined that Shui Yan, whom they had laughed at since childhood, was the Qin general Bai Yan who had been rumored to be the general in recent years, the one who led Qin's troops to destroy Wei and defeat Chu!

All the villagers in Shui Village were stunned. They stared at each other in amazement, then their faces turned pale, their eyes filled with fear and terror...

"It's over! It's over! It's over!"

Suddenly, a woman collapsed to the ground, looking lifeless.

The villagers turned their heads to look, and saw that it was the cooking woman with a frightened look on her face.

Seeing this, the villagers could understand. After all, this Lu had often laughed at Shui Yan in the past, and often mocked and bullied Shui Yan in his childhood. Even when facing the protective Shi Shi, Lu was not polite. He often quarreled with Shi Shi and mocked her in his words.

now.

Looking at the child in the small courtyard who was laughed at by the fishermen when he was young, now wearing Qin army armor and wearing a crown, commanding the Qin army cavalry soldiers one by one, he thought of the villagers from other villages who had just come to bully Yanfu's family.

Not to mention Shi, even the women from other villages, anyone who had quarreled with Shi Xi, or had laughed at or bullied Shui Yan, were all trembling in their legs and feet.

He, who used to be as bad-mouthed as Si, and liked to talk bad about others behind their backs, was now trembling with legs and feet, and a stream of liquid flowed down his pants onto the ground.

The men in the village were not in a much better condition, with terrified looks on their faces. They looked around and saw Qin soldiers in the distance, guarding with long spears, swords, bows and crossbows in their hands. Looking at those fierce-looking Qin soldiers, no one dared to move.

But when they thought about it, if Shui Yan blamed them, then their good days would probably be over. They would no longer be able to move freely back and forth between their home and the fields, go out at sunrise and return at sunset, and they might even lose their lives!

Think of this.

The faces of the men in the village were as frightened as they could be, as ugly as they could be, and as regretful as they could be. The villagers were at a loss and looked around in panic, hoping to seek help from the elders in the village, or those who had a good relationship with Yanfu's family, hoping that they could help them speak to them.

In the small garden.

After Bai Yan returned the greetings to Lingshi, he turned around and approached step by step under the gaze of his brother.

"Brother, can you tell me who hit you just now?"

After Bai Yan stopped, he looked straight at his brother. Looking at the wounds on his brother's face and the way his brother was beaten, Bai Yan asked again.

However, unlike the previous inquiries, this time, behind Bai Yan stood brave and skilled Qin soldiers, including Qin generals such as Yan Mao and Niu.

"Second brother..."

Shui Shou looked at his second younger brother. His familiar eyes and caring tone of voice were enough to make the strange emotions in his heart gradually disappear. Listening to his second younger brother's words, Shui Shou understood that his second younger brother was going to make the decision for himself.

Shui Shou did not cry when his face was bruised and swollen, but Zhongdi's question now made the honest Shui Shou's eyes well up with tears.

Looking at Zhongdi wearing the Qin army armor and looking so majestic, Shuishou smiled with satisfaction, as if to say, Zhongdi has grown up!

You can stand up for your brother!

But Shui Shou didn't know how to start the conversation in response to Zhongdi's question. After all, Shui Shou didn't know how Zhongdi would treat the people who had just beaten him if he started talking.

"It was him, it was him just now, General, Lord Wu Lie! I didn't do anything just now, they were the ones who beat him up, it was them!!!"

"Wu Liejun, it was them, the four of them, who fought the hardest just now!"

Bai Yan looked at his brother Shui Shou, listened to the voice coming from behind him, exchanged a glance with his brother, and slowly turned around.

Now, even if his brother didn’t say it, Bai Yan already knew it.

"Second brother!"

Shui Shou looked at his second brother Shui Yan who turned around and spoke after some hesitation.

Bai Yan turned around, gave Shui Shou a reassuring look, then turned and walked towards those people.

Looking at the people begging for mercy, no one knew what Bai Yan said to the soldier. They only saw those soldiers being dragged away by the Qin soldiers and leaving the yard.

Under the gaze of all the villagers, Bai Yan came in front of Wu.

"Thank you for just now!"

Bai Yan only said one sentence, glanced at Wu, then turned and left without any greeting.

Wu stared at Bai Yan's back in a daze. Surprise, surprise, excitement, disappointment, regret and other emotions made Wu's heart fluctuate greatly. At this moment, Wu wanted to slap himself. How great it would have been if he had just bitten the bullet and supported Yan's father's family regardless of the other party's identity.

In this way, Bai Yan will definitely remember his kindness now.

Today, Yan is the Wulie Emperor of Qin and the confidant of King Ying Zheng of Qin!

Wu looked at Bai Yan's departing back with a look of dejection and despair. He was almost on the verge of collapse and felt bitter with regret. He was really blinded by the other party's identity. Even if he offended him, what difference would it make?

His brother-in-law is from a noble family in Linzi! Now countless scholars want to curry favor with him!

How could I be afraid of someone who has no close relationship with Ju She? Not to mention a close relationship, even if it's Ju She himself, what can he do!

"Wu Liejun!"

Wu was really unwilling and couldn't help but speak softly.

When Wu saw the cavalry soldiers around him and those ferocious-looking Qin generals with terrifying eyes, he was frightened. When he saw Bai Yan stop, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Bai Yan looking back, Wu plucked up his courage.

"If there is a chance, in Linzi City, can Wu prepare wine in the restaurant and entertain Lord Wu Lie?"

Misty asked cautiously.

At this moment, Wu could only pray that Bai Yan would give him a chance considering that they had known each other since childhood and had met in Yangxia by chance, and that he had just spoken for Bai Yan's family.

Wu thought that if Bai Yan agreed, then in Linzi City, not to mention the scholars in Linzi, even his brother-in-law would probably follow him with a flattering look on his face.

Wu knew that with just a banquet, he would be considered Qin Wuliejun's man in the eyes of others.

In a quiet little courtyard.

Bai Yan did not answer Wu, but turned around and walked to his brother and sister-in-law. Looking at Xiao Shu'er who was looking anxious, he bent down and picked up his nephew.

"Uncle is taking Shuer for a ride!"

Bai Yan said, looking at his brother and sister-in-law, then turned his head.

"Dad, Mom, the cavalry has already headed south and will soon arrive outside Linzi City. Yan'er will go outside the mountain to lead the army!"

Bai Yan said.

There will be soldiers left here to guard the place, and he will be leading the troops outside Linzi City. If my parents want to see him, they can go at any time.

Seeing his parents nodding instinctively, Bai Yan knew that they needed some time to calm down. Bai Yan was not in a hurry to make them adapt all at once.

"Brother, I will pick her up later!"

Before leaving, Bai Yan glanced at his brother and specifically asked him to pick up Shu'er later.

Outside the small courtyard.

The villagers of Shui Village looked at Shui Yan who came out, followed by the order historian and the Qin army generals and soldiers.

At this moment, all the villagers swallowed nervously and fearfully. No one dared to look up, as if they were afraid that Shui Yan would look over and notice them.

In a quiet atmosphere.

I don’t know which villager suddenly murmured.

"What the old woman said is true!"

A vague, dazed tone sounded.

For a moment, many villagers were stunned, but soon they reacted and couldn't help but think of the words an old woman once said, words that had been laughed at by all of them for many years.

"My grandson will definitely be more promising than you! There will definitely be a wise king and a wise king for my grandson, who will be given the title of minister and general!"

……

　Let me explain to you all, my wife was not feeling well yesterday and went back and forth to the hospital. I posted the chapter at around 11pm, and not long after that I took my wife to the emergency room again in the early morning. I'm not lying.

　　Not much can be written in one chapter today. Bai Yan had too many experiences in Qin State, and what he gained in Qin State was far beyond what Yan's father and Li Shi, who lived in the village and had little experience, could accept in a short period of time.

　　After all, Yanfu and Bishi would never have dreamed that the famous Qin general they had heard of before was actually their son.

　　The homecoming chapter has also come to an end. Whether it is the reactions of Yanfu and Shi, or other things, the rest will follow the development of the plot.

(End of this chapter)
