After the maid and Yan Xiao left, calm returned to the study room again.

Master Xu saw Bai Yan about to write the bamboo slips, so he obediently came forward and knelt down next to Bai Yan, stretched out his hand on the wooden table to gently grind the ink for Bai Yan.

Bai Yan has become accustomed to it. After all, except for going to the battlefield or going to some dangerous places, Master Xu will basically follow him, either serving tea or pouring water or studying ink. Bai Yan also said that Master Xu doesn't need to do these things.

But Master Xu refused.

Over time, Bai Yan became accustomed to being a poison master, and Master Xu, who was once the signboard of Lu's Restaurant, stayed by his side to grind ink for him.

And in the study room.

Bai Yan is used to it, but some people are not happy with it.

Bai Yingxue, who was bored, wanted to continue lying on the table in a daze, but suddenly saw this scene, took a deep breath, raised her head and looked at this scene in shock.

Although Bai Yingxue knew that Miss Xu, who was Bian Que's disciple, was already following her brother-in-law-to-be, she never expected that the two of them were so close and natural.

Look at Miss Xu's pretty appearance.

Bai Yingxue turned her head and looked at her eldest sister.

Bai Yingxue thought that the eldest sister would also frown and be a little displeased. However, what she didn't expect was that when the eldest sister in Qin clothes saw this scene, she just glanced briefly and continued to look down at the bamboo slips.

At this moment, Bai Yingxue's mind was filled with countless doubts.

What is going on now???

"Miss Xu, didn't you say you wanted to read a medical book? Yingxue has nothing to do, so let Yingxue do it!!"

Bai Yingxue looked at the eldest sister's appearance and thought for a while. She always felt that Miss Xu was a threat and might compete with her eldest sister for the position of the head wife. Worried, she mustered up the courage to look at Master Xu and whispered.

This sudden scene.

The other three people in the study were caught off guard. Bai Yan, Master Xu, and even Bai Junzhu all looked at Bai Yingxue.

Master Xu seemed to sense something, smiled, did not refuse, stood up and made way for Bai Yingxue.

Bai Yan looked at Bai Yingxue hurriedly coming to his side with a strange look on his face.

Looking at Bai Yingxue, whose head was lowered and whose ears were already red, Bai Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, turned around and took the brush, and continued to write about Luoyin City on the bamboo slips.

In Luoyin City, Bai Yan did not send his servants to pay tribute, but left full authority to the Bai family.

It's not that Bai Yan doesn't want the fiefdom, but that after the Bai family is in charge, he can still get the tax revenue from Luoyin City and have the power of the nobles in Luoyin City. After all, Luoyin City is Bai Yan's fiefdom.

The reason why people from the Bai family should be used to manage it is to avoid danger. Fiefdom is different from authority jurisdiction. It is a solid private domain. Once the word "private" is combined with fiefdom, it will be accompanied by danger.

Bai Yan didn't know if one day someone would report him to the court for rebelling against Qin, or if someone would secretly frame him.

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, Bai Yan hired people from the Bai family to take care of it. In this way, any bamboo slips that spread rumors and slander him would be presented to Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng would immediately know that it was officials who were slandering him, and there would be no trace of it at all.

Suspect.

In a quiet room.

Bai Yingxue studied the ink, then looked at her eldest sister with a guilty look on her pretty face.

Then Bai Yingxue discovered that although the eldest sister was looking at the bamboo slips, she had grown up with the eldest sister since childhood, so she didn't know that the eldest sister was distracted.

"Eldest sister, what's going on these days?"

Bai Yingxue thought, feeling a little worried in her heart, but no matter how she asked, the eldest sister would never tell her.

Think of this.

Bai Yingxue instinctively looked at the young man beside her. However, when she saw the young man kneeling next to him, looking at the bamboo slips seriously and writing with his hands, Bai Yingxue was a little distracted for a moment.

The young man is not a handsome man, and he is out leading troops all year round. Compared with the skin color of other noble men, the young man's skin color is darker.

But thinking of a story about this boy that was spread outside, Bai Yingxue knew that this boy was really attractive, not to mention other cities, including Yongcheng and Xi County around Pingyang, not to mention other unknown gentry women.

Even the noble women she and her eldest sister knew had always dreamed of marrying the young man next to them.

They seemed eager to compete with the elders of the clan to defeat the Bai clan.

And as the news of getting the fiefdom spreads out this time, it is estimated that there will be more in the future.

Bai Yingxue thought about it for a long time. She didn't know what she thought of, and her heart suddenly jumped like a deer. After she came back to her senses, she quickly glanced nervously at her eldest sister and Master Xu, and saw that no one noticed her appearance just now.

He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly concentrated on studying ink.

"General! General Xin Sheng came to visit and said he wanted to return the horse to the general!"

Wu Huai, Bai Yan's close confidant, walked into the study from outside the room door, came to Bai Yan and made a greeting.

Wu Huai was once a subordinate of Ye, and he always protected Bai Yan with Ye. Later, Ye, Huai, and Pei were entrusted with important tasks by Bai Yan. Wu Huai became Bai Yan's confidant, and Wu Huai's martial arts, conduct and fighting skills

That life-threatening ferocity has always reassured Ye and Bai Yan.

Previously at Yanmen, Wu Huai followed Bai Yan.

"General Xin Sheng?"

Bai Yan looked surprised when he heard Wu Huai's words, and then stood up slowly under the gazes of Bai Yingxue and Bai Junzhu.

However, when Bai Yan walked out of the study, he saw a man walking with Bai Yu from the yard in the corridor not far away. Behind the man, there were several cavalry soldiers and a war horse.

In the courtyard.

Bai Yu and Xin Sheng were talking and walking.

During the two days at court, Bai Yu already knew that the king appointed general Wang Jian as the chief general, Xin Sheng as the deputy general, and Li Xin, Qiang Yu and other generals as the generals. He was going to lead additional troops to Yishui. After arriving at Yishui,

He commanded the Yishui garrison and prepared to destroy Yan.

Among the reinforcements were garrison troops transferred from the north, with Xin Shengbu Qu as the main reinforcement.

Obviously, the king was furious this time, and was determined to destroy Yan in one fell swoop, making Yan Dan and King Yan pay the price.

Conversation room.

When he saw Bai Yan, Bai Yu introduced him to Bai Yan.

"This is my nephew Bai Yan!"

Bai Yu looked at Xin Sheng's surprised look and said with a smile, "I don't know how many people will show this expression when they see Bai Yan for the first time. He is a young general. Looking at the entire Qin Kingdom, there is only one Bai Yan at this age."

Looking at Bai Yan's young but harmless face, Bai Yu wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. The Yuezhi, the Huns, and the Zhao Kingdom were all defeated at the hands of this young man.

"Bai Yan, this is General Xin Sheng!"

Bai Yu saw Bai Yan's body and back and introduced him to Bai Yan.

"Bai Yan, meet General Xin Sheng!"

Bai Yan came to Bai Yu. During Bai Yu's introduction, he looked at the man in front of him who was about thirty years old and had two obvious moles on his chin, and slowly raised his hands in a ceremony.

"Xin Sheng, meet General Bai!"

Xin Sheng raised his hand and returned the salute seriously to Bai Yan.

After the ceremony, Xin Sheng sighed and turned to look at Bai Yu with a smile.

"Xin Sheng had heard about it before, but he was dissatisfied with it. Now when he sees it, he knows that the rumor is true!"

Xin Sheng said.

Just like what Xin Sheng said, Xin Sheng always boasted that he was the only one who became famous at a young age and served as generals in the Qin State, including Xin Sheng, Li Xin, Wang Li, and Qiang Yu, and each of them had their own unique abilities.

No one is weaker than anyone else.

However, when he saw Bai Yan, who was younger than them and also a general, Xin Sheng couldn't laugh or cry.

When he, Li Xin, Qiang Yu and others made meritorious deeds and became generals, they were not that young. They were many years older than Bai Yan. According to Bai Yan's current age, they were just following their fathers in the Qin army.

Just mixed up with the Duke.

"General Xin Sheng is so complimentary!"

Bai Yan looked at Xin Sheng and replied in a humble tone.

While talking, Bai Yan looked at the horse that had followed him from Qi to Qin, and he was full of emotion. When he left, Bai Yan thought he would see each other again in March or May, but he never thought that the separation would last more than two years.

"Previously, my general said that on the way near Xianyang, he met a descendant of the Bai family and led his horse and sword to Lantian to join the army. By fate, we made an agreement with him!"

Xin Sheng saw Bai Yan looking at the horse, said with a smile, and then turned to look at his cronies.

When the Qin cavalry officers saw this, they naturally knew what the general meant, so they led the horse forward and handed the horse to Bai Yan.

"Jiang Fu, meet General Bai!"

A Qin cavalry officer named Jiang Fu saluted Bai Yan.

Among the many Qin cavalry officers, only this man named Jiang Fu knew Bai Yan, and he was one of the dozen people in General Fei's group.

Bai Yan also recognized Jiang Fu, who was one of the elite soldiers he had seen before.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, when we meet again.

Bai Yan slowly raised his hands in ceremony.

After the ceremony, Bai Yan and Jiang Fu looked at each other with smiles on their faces. Jiang Fu's eyes looked at the young man in front of him, who had lost his innocence compared to before.

When they and General Fei learned that the young man in front of them was a descendant of the Bai family and had enlisted in the army, they had a premonition and privately discussed that if a member of the Bai family did not join the army, he would definitely become a general of Qin after ten years of joining the army.

They all thought that as long as the young man did not die, it was very likely that the young man they met would have become a general ten years later.

But at this time, two years later, when he saw the kind and unassuming young man again, Jiang Fu knew that he and General Fei and the others had guessed right, but the difference was that they and General Fei had not expected it at all.

The time it took for a young man to become a general of Qin was not ten years, but less than two years!

This is a full eight years different from the time they expected.

But speaking of it, Jiang Fu was actually not surprised, because after they separated, when he and General Fei heard the news about the 'Bai's children' again, they had already heard that the 'Bai's children' had enlisted in the army.

Climb first and fight in Yangcheng. Climb the tower first and kill twenty-two people alone, one of whom was an official.

At that time, he, General Fei, and more than a dozen others were in the North Camp by the fire. When they heard the news, everyone made a loud noise, looked at each other in astonishment, and then laughed.
