The sun rises in the morning.

In Linzi City, as a carriage slowly drove to the city gate, the Qi gatekeepers who were impatient because they got up early were interrogating the people entering and leaving the city gate. When they heard the sound of the carriage, they turned their heads and saw an exquisite carriage.

The carriage appeared in front of me.

Before the Qi Chu gatekeepers could react, when they saw the pictures and texts on the carriage, all the gatekeepers' pupils shrank, and they were all shocked. They quickly gave way, not even daring to straighten their posture when retreating.

Then he watched the carriage leave the city with several mounted guards, and not a single guard dared to stop him for questioning.

And inside the carriage.

With the slight shaking, the atmosphere in the carriage was particularly quiet. Except for the sound of rolling wheels outside, no one in the carriage spoke.

Tian Xian and Tian Feiyan sat quietly on their knees, looking from time to time at their father, who had his eyes closed, and Tian Sui, his brother Zhong who looked worried.

The two brothers and sisters were not surprised that Brother Zhong was coming, but they couldn't believe that their father was actually going to visit that village.

But thinking about it later, my father knew that Bai Yan was very important to Qi State now. How could his father be rash about such a big event? What's more, it was his father who drove Bai Yan out of Qi State in the first place.

Therefore, the two siblings would naturally neither refuse nor refuse their father's request. Even Tian Feiyan knew that even though her father was extremely doting on her in the past, when it came to important matters, her father definitely did not mean the same thing.

Unless she wants to scare her father to death!

Half an hour later.

The carriage followed the path and came to a slow stop beside an official road. Listening to the coachman's voice outside, the three brothers and sisters quickly got out of the car, along with Tian Ding.

When he saw the narrow path in front of him, looking at the path leading to the mountains and rivers in the dense forest, Tian Ding was a little surprised, but watching his beloved daughter walking down the path with her followers, she still took Tian Sui and Tian Xian with her.

behind.

The road is not easy.

Especially for Tian Ding, who has not walked on the trails for who knows how many years.

I don't know how long it took, until the scorching sun even hit the head, and the group of people arrived at this small village called Shuicun.

Looking at the people who occasionally passed by on the path under the shade of green trees, they all went to a house in the village. It seemed that there was some happy event. Tian Ding looked around and walked silently until he followed Tian Feiyan's servants.

It was quite far away, and we just followed the village path and came to the outside of a small garden.

Looking at the quiet Xiaoyuan, after confirming that this was Bai Yan's former residence, Tian Xian gently pushed the Xiaoyuan away, went to the Xiaoyuan, and looked around.

"Is anyone here?"

Tian Xian shouted softly.

However, in the quiet Xiaoyuan, no one responded to Tian Xian. Tian Xian called a few more times, but still no one responded.

At this time, Tian Sui also walked into the small garden. Looking at the ordinary small garden surrounded by broken fences, looking at the messy piles of wood, and the wooden house in front of him that was not even a residence, Tian Sui felt a little a little confused.

Confused, this is the place where he has lived since he was a child?

Looking at everything around him, Tian Sui's mind recalled his brother's words yesterday: it was his father who drove Bai Yan out of Qi State in the first place!

This couldn't help but remind Tian Sui of how he looked when he first saw Bai Yan...

Now I look at Bai Yan’s former residence.

"Father, they should not be at home!"

Tian Feiyan followed his father Tian Ding and said to his father who was looking around.

Tian Ding nodded when he heard the words, and soon after, a servant came to Tian Feiyan with an old man wearing civilian clothes and half of his eyes blind.

After seeing the blind man's appearance.

"Feeling!"

Tian Sui looked at his younger sister in astonishment, and even Tian Ding turned his head to look at his beloved daughter.

How could they not know the blind man Fei Leng, but none of them expected that Tian Feiyan would let Fei Leng stay in this water village all the time.

"Fei Leng, meet my little master, meet Master Tian!"

Fei Leng opened one eye, saw Tian Ding, and saluted Tian Ding.

However, there is a detail here. Fei Leng saluted to Tian Feiyan first and then to Tian Ding. This also means that in Fei Leng's eyes, Tian Feiyan's status is higher than that of Tian Ding.

"Where are the people?"

Tian Feiyan pretended not to see the gazes of his father and brother, and asked Fei Leng where Yan's father and his family had gone.

Later, Tian Feiyan learned from Fei Leng that it turned out that something happened at his grandfather's house early in the morning, and he asked his uncle to come over early to let Yan's father and his family pass.

After learning why Yan's father and his family were not at home, Tian Feiyan turned his head and looked at his father, indicating whether he wanted to go to his grandfather's house.

"Go find a villager and come over!"

Tian Ding turned his head and gave instructions to a subordinate.

Tian Feiyan didn't know what was going on when he saw this. His father was obviously worried that she would seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and that she was hiding something. Tian Feiyan had already guessed this, and looked aside with his lips pursed.

After a while.

Wait for the group to return to the shade of the trees at the entrance of the village.

The retinue also brought a village woman. When the village woman saw the clothes of Tian Ding and his entourage, as well as the retinue, she did not know that these people in front of her were either rich or noble, so she stood in front of Tian Ding full of anxiety.

"Is there a person named Yan here?"

Tian Ding looked at the village woman in front of him.

When Tian Ding asked Yan about the boy, the village woman secretly cursed that the boy must have provoked someone, just like his elder brother.

The village woman secretly cursed in her heart, but when faced with Tian Ding's inquiry, the village woman naturally did not dare to hide anything. She not only told what she knew, but also told what she had learned from other people. She also quickly distanced herself from them while speaking.

It seems that he is worried about taking his anger out on her because of Yan's incident.

As she spoke, the village woman was also thinking that she would tell other people in the village what she said later. Fortunately, she was smart, otherwise Yan Na would not know who he had offended, and whether it would affect the villagers like them.

The village women had no idea.

Because of her words, whether it was Tian Ding, Tian Sui, or Tian Xian, they all looked surprised and surprised, and then looked stunned, as if they were wondering if they had heard wrong.

Only Tian Feiyan, listening to the village woman's words, felt uncomfortable in his beautiful eyes when he thought of those scenes.

Looking at his father's slightly changing expression, Tian Feiyan suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that a retinue was walking quickly in the distance.

·············

Under the scorching sun, white birds flew from high in the sky in the distance. On the big tree next to the village, some birds flew to the treetop and tried to land on it, but in the end they flew away again.

Mao Jiao wiped the sweat from his forehead. When he arrived at Shuicun, he saw Tian Ding and his party under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

Mao Jiao had no worries and walked directly towards Tian Ding.

When he saw Tian's carriage on the official road, Mao Jiao knew that the news of his arrival would definitely reach Tian Ding before him.

Under the shade of trees.

Tian Ding watched Mao Jiao arrive, but his mind was still troubled by the village woman's words.

After the happy village woman in front of him took the money and left, Tian Ding stood up, watched Mao Jiao gradually approaching, and then raised his hands.

"Master Mao!"

After Tian Ding finished the ceremony, he looked at Mao Jiao with complicated eyes. He had complained about Mao Jiao in his heart, but when he knew that he had personally driven away Bai Yan and was not allowed to return to Qi, what qualifications did Tian Ding have to continue?

He blamed Mao Jiao for not telling him about Bai Yan in Xianyang.

"Master Tian!"

Mao Jiao returned the gift with his hands in hand.

Looking at Tian Ding, who was no longer wearing the official uniform of Qi State, but wearing silk clothes, Mao Jiao learned from Yao Jia that Tian Mansion seemed to be collecting information about 'Zihuai', and guessed what Tian Ding already knew, and today

The informant told him that Tian Ding left Linzi in a carriage, and Mao Jiao guessed that Tian Ding would come here.

After the ceremony, Mao Jiao put down his hands, stood at the entrance of the village, glanced at the village in front of him, and sighed softly, somewhat self-consciously.

"Master Tian must be very surprised that that boy actually grew up in this village!"

Mao Jiao noticed the absent-minded looks on Tian Ding's two sons, Tian Sui and Tian Xian, and did not find it strange.

"When Mao Jiao came here for the first time under the orders of King Qin, he was so emotional..."

Mao Jiao turned his head and looked at Tian Ding: "Master Tian, ​​can you believe that when he was in Gaonu City in Qin State, he ignored the criticism of others and the complaints of the people, and ordered the people of Gaonu City to leave Gaonu City amidst all the complaints of the people?

In Nu City, the person who finally saved the people of Gaonu City was Bai Yan!"

After Mao Jiao finished speaking, even after three years, Mao Jiao still vividly remembers the scene when he first came to this village, and it still makes Mao Jiao feel moved from the bottom of his heart.

Mao Jiao has never forgotten what those women said in front of him three years ago.

"The old gentleman also came here after hearing about Na Yan? Then I will talk to the old gentleman. Speaking of that family, it is pitiful to say that the family of three was originally a good family. They never wanted to give birth to a second son, that boy Yan. Then

The boy has been weak since he was a child and has a brain disease. Anyone in our village knows that Na Yan will have no future at all."

"Old sir, you don't know. Fortunately, you didn't meet Na Yan's grandmother. I heard that the old woman went to Linzi for illness!"

"Otherwise, if the old woman's eyesight is dim and she can't hear people talking about her grandson, and she still yells all day long, there will definitely be a wise king and a wise king who will recognize her grandson and give her grandson a title. Whether it's an adult or a child, they can argue a few words.

They will all be driven away by the old woman with a broom."
