"Why did Mr. Tian say this?"

Mao Jiao looked at Tian Ding.

Although under Mao Jiao's gaze, Tian Ding slowly talked about what happened in Luoyin City before.

Mao Jiao also knew about the edict, but he didn't know Bai Yan's intention. Now, after learning about the process and Bai Yan's purpose from Tian Ding's mouth, even Mao Jiao, who was prepared in his heart, couldn't help but

He looked shocked and couldn't recover for a long time.

"I see!"

After an unknown amount of time passed, Mao Jiao said softly with a dull look on his face.

To be honest, if it weren't for Tian Ding, Mao Jiao would never have imagined that behind the seemingly free crossing of the river, he was actually collecting all the money for Bai Yan and gathering the world's news in Luoyin.

"Throughout the past, Bai Qi led troops to attack without a single defeat. However, Qin could only be strong for a while, and Bai Qi died. Both Xinling Lord and Li Mu were able to lead troops to defeat Qin and regain the territory. Therefore, if Bai Yan only has famous generals,

Cai, Tian Ding might not be like this."

Tian Ding said this and looked at Mao Jiao.

"A strong country that leads armies and attacks can only be strong for a short time, but a strong country in Anbang can be strong for generations to come. This is the case with Shang Yang, and the same is true with King Zhao Huiwen!"

Tian Ding said.

After finishing speaking, Tian Ding looked at Mao Jiao and stood up to leave.

"Since Mr. Mao does not want to return to Qi, Tian Ding will not disturb him anymore. When Qi needs it in the future, I hope Mr. Mao will remember the kindness of his mother country and lend a helping hand!"

Tian Dingjili said.

Mao Jiao stood up quickly, and returned the salute to Tian Ding with both hands under his wide Qin sleeve robe.

However, whether out of guilt or because of Tian Ding's words, Mao Jiao didn't say anything.

Inside the pavilion.

After the ceremony, Mao Jiao watched Tian Ding turn around and leave. After Tian Ding walked out of the pavilion, he thought for a while and suddenly spoke.

"Master Tian!"

Mao Jiao spoke up.

Tian Ding, who had just left the pavilion, heard Mao Jiao's voice behind him and thought that Mao Jiao was hesitant and might want to change his mind. He quickly stopped, turned to look at Mao Jiao, and saluted Mao Jiao.

However, what surprised Tian Ding was that Mao Jiao still had no intention of returning to Qi.

This made the joy in Tian Ding's eyes disappear instantly.

But what Mao Jiao said next made Tian Ding freeze on the spot.

"Master Tian still doesn't know that among the Qin people, the most talented person in the Qi people and the one who can hold a big position is not Mao Jiao! If Master Tian can let this person return to Qi, maybe thirty or fifty years later, Qi Ke will be like what Master Tian said

!Can stand side by side with Qin!"

Under Tian Ding's gaze, Mao Jiao said something that left Tian Ding confused.

After Mao Jiao finished speaking, he raised his hands to Tian Ding.

"Qi Ren is a great talent?"

When Tian Ding heard Mao Jiao's words, his face was filled with doubts and confusion, but Tian Ding was about to ask.

"As for this, Mao Jiao cannot say more!"

After Mao Jiao said this, he looked at Tian Ding and finally turned and left.

Because Mao Jiao just couldn't help but say Bai Yan's name. After knowing Bai Yan's layout in Luoyin City, Mao Jiao was amazed by Bai Yan's intelligence. This made Bai Yan's talent in Mao Jiao's heart.

, further improve.

Maybe Bai Yan would really be allowed to stay in Qi for thirty or fifty years and develop Qi with the help of Tian Ding. Maybe one day, Qi would be able to stand side by side with Qin.

Think of this.

Mao Jiao didn't know what to say to Tian Ding. If Tian Ding didn't drive away the young man and let him stay in Qi State, then the young man who stayed in Qi State would only do it in order to make his elder's words come true.

Can serve as an official in Qi State.

How could this happen today?

Mao Jiao was favored and trusted by Ying Zheng, and Mao Jiao was unwilling to betray Ying Zheng. However, he was born in Qi State, and the meaning of the word "countryman" held a heavy weight in Mao Jiao's heart.

Under the entanglement, Mao Jiao finally couldn't hold back his selfishness and told Tian Ding that in the temple of Qin State, not only he, Mao Jiao, but also a Qi Ren was pregnant with great talent. As for who that person was, he, Mao Jiao, could not

I'm sorry Ying Zheng, but I can't name him.

Mao Jiao didn't know if Tian Ding could think of the boy he had driven away, but for Mao Jiao, his reminder was enough to make him feel better.

People are so strange. They often need an interface. Whether it is to vent their emotions or make up for their guilt, they need an interface to comfort themselves. It seems that every time they are angry, uncomfortable, or guilty, they can feel much better.

Mao Jiao is in this state right now.

When he was young, he stayed in Qi State for many years but was not taken seriously. Then he left Qi State and came to Qin State. Even though he was in a high position and made suggestions for Qin State, Mao Jiao could comfort himself that Qi State did not cherish him, so he could not be resented.

However, Tian Ding's personal arrival, the attention he paid to him, and the words he talked about the regrets of the Qi people and the sadness of the King of Qi made Mao Jiao feel guilty for a moment. The original excuse could no longer make him feel better, so

Mao Jiao needs a new excuse to comfort himself.

Remind Tian Ding that there are people from Qi in the temple of Qin State, and they are also great talents. As long as they return to Qi State, they might really be able to help Qi State and Qin State to stand side by side.

This is the excuse in Mao Jiao's eyes.

The Qin court, Qi people, and Mao Jiao are more suitable talents than him. Thirty or fifty years later, Tian Ding would not be able to think of these words if he calmed down and thought about them carefully.

The premise is whether Tian Ding believes what he said! Rather than using it as an excuse for his refusal.

"The Qi people in the Xianyang court?"

Tian Ding stood outside the pavilion, watching Mao Jiao leave from the other direction, with a thoughtful expression on his face, full of confusion.

An hour later.

Tian Ding returned to the ambassador's residence and went to the study. He saw his beloved daughter Tian Feiyan quietly looking at the bamboo slips in the study, with several maids waiting beside her. Then he came to the window and knelt down.

Lin Anshun and Xunzhou have been invited to the residence of Tingwei Li Si. Tian Ding does not care about this matter. Tian Ding still knows the character of Xunzhou and Lin Anshun.

Then Yao went to visit Mengshi.

"Qin State, Qi people? Are there talented Qi people in the Xianyang court?"

As the maid poured tea into the tea cup in front of Tian Ding, Tian Ding continued to repeat what he said when he left Mao Jiao's mansion.

He paid special attention to Tian Ding of the Qin State, so he knew the officials of the Qi people in the Qin State's court and even in the counties and counties of the Qin State. However, Tian Ding never knew anyone who could have Mao Jiao's verbal talents.

"Father, why did you come back so soon today? It seems that Mao Jiao has decided to stay in Qin!"

Tian Feiyan, who had been looking at the bamboo slips, heard his father's murmur, and his pretty face was stunned. After thinking of something, his beautiful eyes suddenly lifted up and looked at his father calmly.

"Well! It doesn't matter if Mao Jiao doesn't go back to Qi! As a father today, I don't have to let Mao Jiao go back to Qi."

Tian Ding nodded and looked at his daughter.

"Yan'er knew that his father was going to trip up Bai Yan again!"

When Tian Feiyan heard his father's words, his pretty face was full of helplessness and he shook his head.

"Father is not afraid of being deceived by Mao Jiao!"

After Tian Feiyan finished speaking, he continued to look at the bamboo slips, as if he was too lazy to pay attention to his father.

This actually made Tian Ding look at his beloved daughter dumbfounded. If the eldest son could say what he just said, Tian Ding would be so happy, and he would not be afraid that a hundred years later, there would be no successor.

It's a pity that neither the eldest son nor the other two boys are as smart as Yan'er.

If the three sons were here just now, they might not necessarily know that his purpose is not just to persuade Mao Jiao to return to Qi. Of course, it is best to return to Qi, but it is natural not to return to Qi. Tian Ding just wants to make the dialogue

Yan's evaluation told Mao Jiao to prepare for the future.

Again, Bai Yan does not have to die, but he must not be trusted and valued by Ying Zheng for a long time. It is best to stay in Yanmen from now on and never return to Xianyang, Qin State, nor be summoned by Ying Zheng.

"Maojiao!"

However, Tian Ding couldn't help but frown slightly at his daughter's unintentional words.

For a moment, Tian Ding didn't know if what Mao Jiao said just now was a polite rejection, just because he didn't want to be attracted by him again in the future.

But looking back at the way Mao Jiao stood in the pavilion at that time, Tian Ding didn't feel like it.

However, looking back on the officials of the Qi people in the Qin court, it seems that no one is worthy of Mao Jiao's evaluation.

··········

Books in the palace study.

Accompanied by the eunuch, Bai Yan saw Ying Zheng in the study. What Bai Yan didn't expect was that besides being concerned about his injury and Luoyin's affairs, Ying Zheng had no intention of letting him leave. Instead, he stayed

In the study room, he helped Ying Zheng deliver the bamboo slips presented by the officials. After Ying Zheng finished processing, he picked up the bamboo slips and placed them on the bookshelf.

Since it is a palace, the study room of King Qin, Ying Zheng, is not that big. There are almost too many bookshelves and bamboo slips in it. Fortunately, Ying Zheng asked Han Yezhe to come in and teach Bai Yan, so Bai Yan did not make a mess. However, as time passed,

In the past, I was extremely busy.

Looking at Ying Zheng, who was kneeling behind the wooden table in the study and reading bamboo slips, his brows furrowed from time to time, Bai Yan and Han Yezhe stood on the left and right respectively.
