At the banquet.

Those who should drink drank, and during the chat, they were nothing more than the important events they heard, or the opinions of some ministers. Among them, the name "Bai Yan" appeared most frequently in the mouths of Jiang Jing and Zhu Zhe.

In the eyes of Jiang Jing and Zhu Zhe, the Yanmen incident exemplified Bai Yan's ignorance.

When it was mentioned that many nobles hated Bai Yan very much, Jiang Jing and Zhu Zhe both laughed and joked. Now that countless disciples are cursing Bai Yan to gain support from the nobles, why don't they join in?

Rui Wei had been sober for eleven minutes. After listening to the words of his friends Jiang Jing and Zhu Zhe, Rui Wei's forehead was covered in sweat, as if he was sick.

Even the woman pouring wine at the side noticed that under the wooden table, Rui Wei's trembling hands kept grabbing the corners of his clothes and trembling.

"If it weren't for the Bai family and the old general Hu Quan, then Bai Yan."

Jiang Jing was drinking and talking, and he didn't know whether it was because he was drunk or because he had so many words in his mind, but he never stopped talking about Bai Yan.

But what Jiang Jing didn't know was that every time he and Zhu Zhe said something to Bai Yan or laughed at Bai Yan, Rui Wei's face turned pale.

After a long time.

As he was talking, Jiang Jing just noticed that Rui Wei looked a little abnormal today.

"Rui Wei! Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Jing stopped talking and looked at Rui Wei with concern.

Looking at Rui Wei's face as if he was seriously ill, Jiang Jing frowned slightly.

"If you feel unwell, go home early and rest!"

Jiang Jing cupped his hands and said.

Jiang Jing's words were also agreed by Zhu Zhe and Lu Sheng on the other side, and the three of them looked at Rui Wei with concern.

Under the gaze of the three people, Rui Wei heard that he could go home and rest early. He looked at the young man behind the wooden table opposite, who was wrapping his sword in a coarse cloth, and nodded quickly to Jiang Jing.

This place.

Rui Wei didn't want to stay any longer and didn't dare to stay any longer.

If I had known about this banquet earlier.

Rui Wei didn't know how to come over with Jiang Jing, let alone say another word.

When he saw the plate of covered gold cakes in front of the general, Rui Wei's eyes were full of fear. Those once tempting gold nuggets were now like a reminder to him.

"today!"

When Rui Wei spoke, his voice was so hoarse that he almost didn't say these two simple words.

After swallowing, Rui Wei wanted to get up, but he collapsed and sat on the ground twice in a row. Fortunately, the woman beside him was supporting him, so Rui Wei didn't feel embarrassed.

"Rui is not feeling well today, so he won't drink with you all, so he takes his leave!"

After Rui Wei stood up, he quickly saluted Jiang Jing, Zhu Zhe, Lu Sheng and others, and then looked at the young man opposite with fear in his eyes.

Although I don’t know why Lu Sheng didn’t know the identity of that young man.

But now Rui Wei can't bear to think so much.

Just now he saw the young man's eyes, and after realizing that the young man opposite didn't seem to want to tell his real name, Rui Wei at this moment just wanted to take advantage of the chance to redeem himself, quickly return to his mansion, and take out all the swords in his collection.

Send it to the general's mansion.

As a minister, Rui Wei clearly knew that behind the word Bai Yan engraved on the sharp sword just now, the sword represented the Bai family, the Hu family, and the Sima family.

These three powerful families in Qin are the symbols behind the sword.

Not to mention wanting to kill him, in front of those three clans, even his father could only wait for death.

In the private room.

Bai Yan wrapped up his sword and stood up when he heard Rui Wei was leaving.

"Yan is going to send Rui as the assistant minister!"

Bai Yan bowed his hands to Jiang Jing, Zhu Zhe and Lu Sheng and said softly.

Then Bai Yan saw that Jiang Jing seemed to be very satisfied with his performance and kept nodding his head. Lu Sheng also gave him a look of relief.

See the situation.

Bai Yan didn't say much, he held his sword and looked at Rui Wei.

"Rui is the minister, please!"

Bai Yan bowed his hands and made a greeting, then made a gesture of invitation.

Seeing this, Rui Wei quickly returned the favor and then motioned to leave together.

Outside the private room.

After walking out of the private room, the noisy noise inside was much quieter. Standing in the corridor, I looked at the other private rooms in the restaurant and the sounds of men and women laughing from downstairs.

Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and the cronies who were taking turns guarding the side saw Bai Yan coming out and hurriedly stepped forward.

Bai Yan glanced at Rui Wei who was preparing the ceremony behind him, and raised his hand to perform the ceremony again.

"please!"

Bai Yan said.

This is not because Bai Yan is still pretending, but because of etiquette. Regardless of status, even the King of Qin will pay great attention to etiquette.

For example, when Bai Yan was just a doctor, Yao Jia, as a minister, paid great attention to etiquette when getting along with Bai Yan.

Bai Yan is like this now.

In the corridor.

When Rui Wei saw Bai Yan's gift, he quickly returned the gift in fear.

Then Bai Yan and Rui Wei walked all the way from upstairs to downstairs, and sent Rui Wei away from the restaurant.

Along the way, Rui Wei followed behind, full of anxiety.

After all, he had spoken ill of Bai Yan himself in the private room just now. He didn't know how Bai Yan would treat him.

Until after leaving the restaurant.

Rui Wei just saw Bai Yan stop and turn around.

"I hope Sir Rui Wei can conceal what happened today for Bai Yan!"

Bai Yan bowed to Rui Wei.

In his words, Bai Yan didn't even threaten him.

However, when Rui Wei heard this, he quickly raised his hand in fear and returned the greeting.

"General, this is natural, natural! General, don't worry, Rui Wei will definitely not tell others about this! Rui Wei will never violate this statement."

Rui Wei said.

At this moment, as long as Bai Yan opens his mouth, Rui Wei doesn't dare to refuse no matter what.

If what happened in the restaurant spread out, not only would his reputation and official position be in jeopardy, he would even be punished with hard labor.

It can be said that compared to Bai Yan, Rui Wei doesn't want what happened just now to be known to others and to be manipulated by others.

"Thank you!"

Bai Yan looked at Rui Wei and thought for a while.

"Bai Yan was in the restaurant just now. Sir Rui Wei mentioned that Mr. Zhao Gao was the commander of the CRRC Mansion!"

Bai Yan asked with doubts on his face.

Just now in the restaurant, when talking about the incident that shocked Ying Kan, Rui Wei accidentally mentioned Zhao Gao. Naturally, Bai Yan was familiar with this name.

Regarding Zhao Gao, Bai Yan had secretly investigated him a long time ago. He was born in a hidden palace, his father was an official in charge of Qin law in a foreign county, and his mother was physically mutilated after being executed for violating the criminal law.

A few years ago, after Yingzheng came to power, he began to flex his muscles, not only in the court, but also in the palace, selecting talents.

Zhao Gao was fortunate enough to serve as an eunuch in the Qin Palace. Because of his good calligraphy and Qin laws, he was appreciated by Ying Zheng. He stood out from the many ministers under the Shaofu and was appointed as the magistrate of the CRRC.

.

Zhongche Fu Ling is a subordinate of the Taipu, one of the ministers of the Qin State.

The Zhongche Mansion Order is in charge of the Qin State's carriage, and usually serves Ying Zheng, with the saddle in front and the horse behind.

Bai Yan originally planned to meet up with Ying Kan after handing over the affairs of Queen Mother Zhao, and by the way contact Zhao Gao, who was in charge of the carriage.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yan became interested in what Rui Wei said just now.

Listen to Rui Wei.

It seems that the relationship with Zhao Gao is very good.

"Yes! General! Rui Wei does know Mr. Zhao, the commander of CRRC! And the relationship is very close."

Although Rui Wei didn't understand why Bai Yan mentioned Zhao Gao, seeing that Bai Yan didn't mention what happened just now, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead with his cuffs.

And mentioning Zhao Gao.
