Xianyang Palace.

As the center of power of the Qin State, it is the place where all civil and military officials in charge of all affairs of the Qin State gather, and it is also the place where people in the world change their opinions.

With the drizzle falling, the sky was just getting dark, and one carriage after another of officials stopped at the gate of the palace. Men wearing Qin official uniforms walked out of their carriages one after another, and their number became more and more numerous.

How vast the territory of Qin State is can be gleaned from the number of these officials.

"Master Li!"

"General Wang!!"

"General Lee!"

There was a lot of noise, and all the civil and military officials smiled and saluted when they saw other officials and colleagues.

Although this scene seems harmonious, in fact, like other vassal states, the civil and military officials of Qin State not only agreed on the matter of going east, but also often argued on other matters, big and small.

After all, among the hundreds of officials in the Qin State, there are also factions, and most of these officials are members of the gentry. Regardless of whether they are voluntary or not, they will be involved in some disputes over interests in daily life.

Fortunately, the Qin State had wise kings in the past dynasties and there were Qin laws. This gave the officials of the Qin State far less room to compete than in other vassal states.

This is why compared to other vassal states, the officials of Qin State are more restrained and can have such a scene.

Royal palace gate.

Because of the drizzle, each servant or retinue held an umbrella to hold an umbrella for their respective ministers.

Speaking of umbrellas, some people say that the first person to make umbrellas was Lu Ban, and some people also said that it was Lu Ban's wife Yunshi. But no matter who it was, umbrellas have now become a symbol of nobles and powerful people.

Because no matter whether it was made of cowhide in the first time or made of silk now, ordinary people cannot afford it.

Today, if people want to go out in the rain, they still wear raincoats.

Although the coir raincoat is not as valuable as an umbrella, it is extremely convenient. Just like the elite soldiers of the Qin State who are holding long spears around the palace gate at this moment, they are also wearing coir raincoats.

Just as every official was waiting to go to court.

Not far away, a carriage that was not an official's appeared in a row of carriages. Many peripheral officials noticed this scene.

After all, this is the palace gate of Xianyang Palace. Why does that carriage come here?

At the moment of doubt, as the ordinary carriage slowly stopped, a young man wearing Qin armor, holding a bamboo slip, got out of the carriage.

Seeing this scene, many people were a little stunned.

A young man wearing Qin armor, riding a carriage, and holding a bamboo slip came to the palace gate. What kind of trouble is this?

An orderly soldier? Not like that? But if he were an official, why would he be wearing armor?

With doubts, the officials looked at each other.

"Do you know that person?"

"never seen it!"

Along with the whispers, many officials saw the carriage slowly leaving, leaving only the young man wearing Qin armor standing in the drizzle.

Seeing this, these officials became very confused.

Several Qin soldiers in the distance were a little confused when they saw this. After looking at each other, the leading general, wearing a raincoat and holding a Qin sword, walked towards the young man.

The official we were talking about just now was watching this scene, and the palace door suddenly opened slowly.

When these officials saw this, they all knew they had to go to the palace to attend court.

"please!"

"please!!"

One by one, the officials bowed their hands to each other and then walked into the palace in groups.

Officials in other places didn't notice anything at first, but as the officials moved, more and more officials noticed the young man standing in the drizzle.

To be able to become an official of the Qin State, put on the official uniform of the Qin State, and come to the palace to attend court, the knowledge, ability and connections of each official are far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But the strange thing is that almost all the officials didn't recognize the young man when they saw him.

But after a few breaths

Among a group of officials in their 40s and 50s, there was a middle-aged man with a burly build, wearing an official uniform and a mountain crown on his head. When he noticed the young man from the corner of his eye, he was full of surprises and then stopped.

Saw this scene.

The two officials in their 40s and 50s who were traveling with him all stopped in their tracks.

"Master Yao knows that person?"

Li Si, who had a good relationship with Yao Jia, was the first to ask.

The burly man is Yao Jia.

"know!"

Yao Jia smiled at Li Si, and then when he saw Wang Wan looking at him in confusion, Yao Jia smiled even more: "Yao Jia was sent to Xinzheng as an envoy before, and that young man escorted him!"

Just as Yao Jia finished speaking, Li Si and Wang Wan all looked surprised.

"Bai Yan?"

"Is he Bai Yan?"

Li Si and others spoke instinctively, because they all knew that it was Bai Yan who escorted Yao Jia on his mission to Xinzheng.

Thinking of this, Li Si and others turned to look at the young man in the distance.

Thinking about the past six months, from their rise to fame to their repeated military exploits, and the previous battle with Gao Nu, which was even more amazing, they have always been curious about how brave the Bai family's descendant named Bai Yan is.

But now, I look at the thin young man standing in the drizzle in the distance.

This really surprised Li Si, Wang Wan and others in their hearts. This was obviously different from what they had imagined.

"What? Is he Bai Yan?"

"Is he Bai Yan?"

"That young man wearing Qin armor is Bai Yan?"

Around Li Si, officials one after another heard the words of Li Si and others, and they all looked at the young man in surprise. He had heard his name countless times during this period and had the whole court arguing.

Among the officials, two young and burly men in official uniforms immediately stopped and looked at each other after learning that the young man was Bai Yan.

"Is he Bai Yan?"

The person who spoke was Li Xin, and the other person was Qiang You. Both of them were Qin generals of the younger generation in the Qin court.

As among all the young generals in the Qin Kingdom, the two are at the top in terms of status, background, reputation, and ability. The one who is most unconvinced during this period is Bai Yan, a descendant of the Bai family.

Even before they met Meng Tian, ​​neither of them cared that much when they heard people talking about Meng Tian.

Only the sudden appearance of Bai Yan made the two of them feel depressed in their hearts when they talked about his deeds.

Arriving at Yangcheng first, he killed five officials in one battle and defeated the enemy with twenty-one soldiers.

Leading the cavalry to the north, he killed more than three thousand Korean soldiers at Fuxi Mountain, killed Han Qiu, the general of Han Dynasty, and then went north to capture four cities.

Xincheng's words directly revealed Han Jun's plan.

In the battle of Gao Nu, he not only predicted that the Huns and the Yuezhi would move south, but also ordered the people to migrate. He led more than 10,000 cavalry and faced the Yueshi with 150,000 horses. The Huns fought to the death without retreating.

Among them was Bai Yan's fire, which burned a Gaonu city and tens of thousands of Yuezhi's horses to the ground.

Anyone who hears this incident will be in a trance, and sincerely wonder what Bai Yan is like. He has such talent, leading troops and planning, and he is so decisive and ferocious.

“You can’t tell at all!”

Qiang Yu frowned, not only Li Xin, but also him, stood here at the moment, looking at the thin young man holding a bamboo slip in the distance.

This was completely different from the fierce and decisive Bai Yan he imagined.

"Bai Yan?"

Li Xin looked at the young man in the distance with doubts in his eyes.

In fact, not only Li Xin, but also the surrounding officials, especially some military generals wearing official uniforms, were also full of doubts.

Because everyone looked at the young man and couldn't see that he could personally kill twenty-two people including the five doctors after ascending first.

But Yao Jia has passed.

That young man is Bai Yan's business, and there's no way it's fake.

Moreover, counting the time, Bai Yan will indeed return to Xianyang within these few days.

With doubts, each official took one last look at the young man, turned around and continued walking into the palace.

"Bai Yan?"

Outside the palace, the Qin soldier general holding the Qin sword heard the words of the civil and military officials behind him, and then looked at the young man in front of him with confusion.

He is Bai Yan!

The commander of Shangjun Gaonu Cavalry.

Thinking of this, the general holding the Qin sword did not question him again, especially when he saw that Shangqing Yao Jia had already walked towards the young man.

"Bai Yan, I have met Mr. Yao!"

Bai Yan looked at Yao Jia who was approaching and bowed his hands as a gift.
