After saying goodbye in the past, Bai Yan didn't expect to meet here so soon. He originally thought that he would only meet after entering the court.

"General Bai, long time no see!"

Yao Jia came to Bai Yan with a smile on his face, and then returned the gift with his hand.

Yao Jia was naturally no stranger to Bai Yan. The young man not only escorted him to Xinzheng, but also when he was in the new city, he witnessed the young man guessing Shen Yan's plan word for word and destroying Korea's last chance of life in one fell swoop.

This is why, when the bamboo slips sent by Yang Xian of Shangjun arrived at the palace, Yao Jia felt that things might not be as simple as Yang Xian said.

Especially two days later, Yang Xian's bamboo slips came again. When he learned that Bai Yan had directly ordered the Gaonu people to move south, Yao Jia felt a little worried when he thought about what happened in the new city.

But at that time.

Not to mention other people, even Yao Jia himself was not sure.

Even if I have seen the young man's keenness on the battlefield, I have some doubts.

Never thought about it.

The results really surprised everyone.

"Yao Jia congratulates General Bai for another great achievement!"

Yao Jia looked at Bai Yan, cupped his hands and said with a smile.

Bai Yan quickly returned the gift with his hands in hand.

"Master Yao is so complimentary!"

Bai Yan said modestly. At this moment, Bai Yan suddenly saw three officials slowly walking up.

Looking at the three officials, Bai Yan was a little confused as he had never seen any of them, but the three of them all wore high mountain crowns, and the patterns on their official uniforms were different from other officials.

Bai Yan knew at a glance that these two officials were ministers with extremely high status. Although he didn't know what their positions were, the only thing he was sure of was that both of them had the rank of Shangqing.

Two nobles!

When Bai Yan thought about it, he was still a fifth-level official, not even a general.

Not to mention uneasy, he was also very confused, because he couldn't figure out why two officials came over. You know, the officials who were traveling with Yao Jia just now were also Shangqing, but they were just taking a look and had no intention of coming over.

A five-level official is high in the eyes of the people, and he is also high in the eyes of ordinary Qin officials.

But compared to Shangqing, the gap is extremely huge. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is unreachable.

There are also three levels of ministers. The lowest rank is equal to the lowest general rank. The lowest rank is the middle-left concubine chief and the right concubine chief.

The fifth doctor and Zuo Shuchang seem to be only one rank apart, but this one rank is very different.

One is a nobleman and the other is a general.

The five highest-ranking officials have 25 hectares of farmland and 25 hectares of residence each, while the Zuo Shuchang, who is one rank higher, has 74 hectares of land and 74 hectares of residence each.

There are five titles in between, ranging from the nine hectares of the Dafujue to the twenty-five hectares of the Fifth Dafu.

There is only one title difference between the fifth doctor and Zuo Shuchang, but even with this title, the gap is so huge that it is unimaginable.

And Shangqing is equivalent to the general among the generals.

So now Bai Yan is still a fifth doctor, a doctor.

And those two are Shangqing!

"Haha~!"

When Yao Jia saw the young Bai Yan, he suddenly became cautious. When he saw the two officials, he suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

Especially looking at Bai Yan, Yao Jia shook his head and introduced Bai Yan with kindness.

"General Bai, this is Shangqing Hu Quan, Mr. Hu. This is Shangqing Mao Jiao, Mr. Mao."

Yao Jia introduced Bai Yan one by one.

"Master Yao!"

"Master Yao!!"

After Yao Jia finished speaking, Hu Quan, who was in his sixties, and Mao Jiao, who was in his fifties, both raised their hands and saluted Yao Jia. This gesture was also a sign of goodwill.

Because Yao Jia took the initiative to introduce the two of them, whether they were saying hello or otherwise, they naturally returned the favor.

Under the huge embroidery of Yao Jia's official uniform, he returned the salute with his hands.

And because of Yao Jia's introduction, Bai Yan, who was a little confused from the beginning, immediately knew that one of the two ministers in front of him had some relationship with him, and could even be said to be a patron.

Hu Jin’s biological father is Shang Qing Hu Quan!

In the past, when Yang Xian wrote to Xianyang, General Hu Jin also wrote to his biological father, Hu Quan.

At this time, Bai Yan finally understood why Yao Jia just smiled at him.

"Bai Yan, meet Mr. Hu and Mr. Mao!"

After Bai Yan waited for Yao Jia to return the gift, he extended his hand to Hu Quan, and Mao Jiao raised his hand to salute. Looking at the elderly Hu Quan, Bai Yan's eyes were filled with gratitude.

Although he was not in Xianyang, Bai Yan could know that more than half a month ago, the old man in front of him spoke for him in the Xianyang Palace.

As for Shangqing Mao Jiao, almost everyone in the Qin State today knows about him.

After the Lao Ai incident, the Empress Dowager Zhao was placed under house arrest and twenty-seven officials were executed for remonstrating. Mao Jiao was the official who remonstrated with the twenty-eight officials. It was also because of Mao Jiao that King Yingzheng of Qin took the Empress Dowager Zhao back.

Therefore, even if I dare not say that Mao Jiao is as upright as Master Meng Yu, Master Mao must be a bold and careful person.

The most important thing is that Shangqing Mao Jiao is also a Qi man.

"The future life is terrible!"

When Mao Jiao saw Bai Yan, he simply returned the favor and then laughed.

The elderly Hu Quan on the side looked at the young Bai Yan with a friendly smile in his eyes.

"The Bai family has produced another great disciple. That old guy Bai Zhong is really enviable."

Hu Quan nodded and said to Mao Jing, then looked at Bai Yan and noticed the drizzle: "Why don't you bring an umbrella?"

When Bai Yan heard what the old man Hu Quan said, he bowed his head.

"It's okay! It's just a light rain. Bai Yan is wearing Qin armor from the bloody battle. If I hold an umbrella, it will make the people in other countries laugh at me."

In fact, Bao had always prepared an umbrella, but when he came to the palace for the first time, Bai Yan had no experience at all. Especially since he was wearing Qin armor, he felt that holding an umbrella was not appropriate.

After all, unlike wearing official uniforms, this Qin armor is a thing of bloody battle. If you hold an umbrella in the light rain, if others see it, it will be laughed at by those who are interested.

Not to mention, it might spread to the palace.

"Hahahaha! Okay!"

After hearing Bai Yan's words, Hu Quan laughed with his wrinkled face and kept stroking his long beard.

Even Yao Jia and Mao Jiao couldn't help but smile and shake their heads after hearing Bai Yan's words and looking at their young appearance.

In one sentence, he was born as a Qin general who was unruly and frivolous.

No wonder General Teng and even Lord Meng Yu praised him highly. Not only they, but also the King heard these words, and the King probably felt comfortable hearing them.

Civil servants will remonstrate to the death, and soldiers will fight to the death. No king will reject these words.

"Okay, since you are wearing this Qin armor, I won't give you an umbrella! I will go to the palace first, and the king will definitely summon you in later."

Hu Quan smiled at Bai Yan.

Looking at the young Bai Yan, Hu Quan couldn't help but sigh. This time, this young man would have to wait outside the palace gate.

Maybe next time, there will be no need to stand alone outside the palace gate in the rain.

"Um!"

Seeing Bai Yan cupping his hands, Hu Quan nodded, then turned to Yao Jia and Mao Jiao: "Master Yao, Master Mao, please!"

"please!"

With Yao Jia and Mao Jiao returning the favor, the three of them glanced at Bai Yan and walked towards the palace gate.

Bai Yan stood there with his hands folded, watching the three people leave.

After a while.

Only after Hu Quan, Yao Jia and Mao Jiao entered the palace did Bai Yan look away.

Standing outside the palace gate, feeling the drizzle alone, Bai Yan once again felt the benefits of being from a noble family. In the Hu family of Qin, Hu Quan was a Shangqing, Hu Quan's eldest son Hu Jin was a Shangjun commander, and his second son Hu Wujing was a senior official.

He worked as a jailer in Yueyang and then as a city magistrate.

Even though there are only three people in power in the Hu family, the connections between these three people are far from simple. Not to mention things Bai Yan has never seen before, Shang Qing Mao Jiao, who was also a Qi member just now, obviously has a very good relationship with Hu Quan.

That is a high minister.

It is such a family. Because he has the surname Bai, he is also the one he relies on in the court.

Sigh.

Bai Yan looked at the drizzle falling in front of him with emotion.

In the eyes of Lu Qi and Lu Sheng, he was a patron, but in the Qin court, he was far from enough.
Chapter completed!
