In Pengcheng, one day has passed since the Qin cavalry stationed in Pengcheng. Yesterday, Pengcheng was not the main battlefield. Therefore, merchants, as well as the people and nobles in the city, after hiding for a day, came out one after another when they saw nothing happened the next day.

As for the people of Pengcheng, as long as the general who occupied Pengcheng did not order the massacre of the city, and did not allow his soldiers to burn, kill, loot, rape, and plunder, they would all be safe and sound.

The restaurants were still open, and some women in the restaurants even boldly stood outside to solicit customers when they saw that there were no Qin army cavalry on the street.

Small houses, shops, various shops and street vendors also appeared on the streets.

Pengcheng once again returned to its former prosperity and bustle, but in the bustle, there were always some scholars talking to each other about Jiuding. When he learned that Qin General Bai Yan had taken people to Surabaya to prepare sacrifices to find Jiuding, he suddenly looked worried.

"Why did General Huang Ye abandon the city? I heard that Qin general Bai Yan has gone to find Jiuding? Is there really Jiuding? If there is Jiuding, how can Qin country take it?"

"No, if Ying Zheng gets Jiuding, wouldn't it be..."

"What should we do now? I don't know how long it will take for the Chu army to arrive in Pengcheng!"

"No chance. I heard that the Qin army already has troops and is heading towards Pengcheng!"

In the wine shop, some people were discussing with each other. Suddenly, a scholar stood up and shouted to everyone.

"Everyone, don't panic. General Huang Ye has already determined that the news about Jiuding is false. I don't know who did it deliberately. You must not listen to the rumors."

The scholar's face was pale and his body was thin, but at this moment he was holding his hands in front of everyone.

Not long after the words fell, another person stood up and joined in, telling everyone that they had already inquired about the news before, and that the Jiuding incident was an inexplicable rumor spread without reason.

Surabaya River!

Bai Yan led the soldiers to the Sishui River in a mighty manner. The civilian men recruited by Xiao He were carrying the sacrifices needed for the sacrifice. Many people who were familiar with the nature of water were also brought by Xiao He.

"General, the people are here!"

Kou Zhuang brought a man to Bai Yan.

"Song Zi, the villain, pays homage to General Bai!"

Nie Kuan came to Bai Yan. When he saw Bai Yan holding a sword, his face was full of fear, and he bent down and lowered his head repeatedly.

"Do you know the whereabouts of Jiuding?"

Bai Yan looked at Song Zi with some confusion.

"I have also heard, general, that I dare not confirm it. I grew up on the Sishui River. I happened to pass by the fisherman's house that day and heard what the fisherman said about seeing a tripod in Sishui. So I became curious.

, I want to take a look..."

Facing Bai Yan's inquiry, Nie Kuan nodded quickly and told Bai Yan what happened. He also said that he did not expect that after two days of salvage, Ding would be suddenly hunted down before he could see it.

"General, it is indeed true!"

Kou Zhuang on the side also told Bai Yan the origin of this 'Songzi'. When the soldiers from the scout battalion came to Surabaya to inquire about the news, they happened to see this Songzi being hunted. When the soldiers in disguise saw this, they rescued him.

He killed Song Zi, but the people who escaped with Song Zi had already been killed.

Xiao He stood aside. When he heard Song Zi's words, he was shocked and turned to look at Surabaya.

Could it be that there really is a Jiuding!

"If you work hard and lead the way, you will be rewarded generously when the work is accomplished!"

Bai Yan bowed his hands to Song Zi.

"Thank you, General, thank you, General!!"

Nie Kuan waved his hand quickly and then led the way for Bai Yan and his party.

Under the scorching sun.

The crowd walked along the Sishui River, detouring for a long time in the dense grass as tall as a man, and then passed through the dense forest, twisting and turning, and went up the river.

The surface of the Sishui River is very wide. It is difficult for people to swim across the narrowest part, and the wide part looks very far away. Without boats, it is impossible to cross the river.

while walking.

Bai Yan panted slightly, and saw Xiao He beside him, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Both of them were equipped with swords and followed Song Zi.

Zhang Ze looked around cautiously.

I don’t know if it was half an hour, an hour, or even longer.

Finally, Bai Yan and others finally saw the wooden garden where the fisherman Song Zi mentioned before lived. The door of the small courtyard had been opened. Bai Yan looked at Nie Kuan, who had a sad face and kept wiping his tears, and walked to the small courtyard.

middle.

Xiao He and Zhang also followed Bai Yan.

Bai Yan looked at the dried blood stains that were still clearly visible in the yard and on the wooden doors of the houses. He looked around and found no bodies.

Seeing this, Bai Yan didn't stay here long, turned around and continued on his way.

A long, long time passed.

The group of people finally followed Song Zi and came to an extremely remote place.

"General, this is what the fisherman said before!"

Nie Kuan said to Bai Yan, pointing to the vast river in front of him. Since his back was to everyone, no one saw Nie Kuan's expression at this time.

Looking at the Sishui River, Nie Kuan was scared to death by the speed with which Bai Yan captured Pengcheng, but now, thinking about the flawless plan, he couldn't help but feel proud. Thinking of Bai Yan behind him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

No matter how powerful Yan is on the battlefield, what can he do?

Back then, even if Bai Qi had never lost a single soldier in his life, he would still have died on the battlefield!

Xiao He and Mang heard Song Zi's words, glanced at each other, and immediately frowned. Without him, searching for such a vast water surface would take a lot of time.

Be quiet for a long time.

"General, since we are in this water area, after the sacrifice, we will order people to salvage it!"

Xiao He saw Bai Yan frowning slightly and remaining silent, so he took the initiative to remind him.

"good!"

After hearing Xiao He's words, Bai Yan came back to his senses, nodded, and took a look at the lakeside.

"Sacrifice!"

Bai Yan ordered.

Following Bai Yan's order, all the soldiers began to get busy, clearing out the site and removing all the weeds around it. The things needed for the sacrifice were also carried to the riverside, waiting for the soldiers to find what they needed for burning.

Behind the branches of the huge tree, the sacrifice slowly began.

Bai Yan faced the bonfire alone, Xiao He and Zhang followed closely behind, and all the other soldiers also fell silent.

At Xiao He's signal, a soldier took a torch and lit the bonfire. Soon, thick smoke rose, followed by the cattle heads, chickens and other sacrifices needed for the sacrifice, all of which were burned by blazing flames in the bonfire.

In the already hot summer season, the huge bonfire made everyone feel even hotter.

"now!"

Bai Yan raised his hands and spoke to the bonfire.

"Qin Chen Bai Yan, adhering to the destiny and complying with my king's long-cherished wish, came here specifically to look for the Nine Cauldrons. If the Nine Cauldrons return, the world will be settled, the people will prosper, wars will stop, and the Zhou family will be inherited..."

Bai Yan cupped his hands in front of the bonfire and spoke loudly in front of everyone.

After finishing speaking.

Bai Yan was not in a hurry to let people go into the river. Instead, he asked Xiao He and Gu to take all the soldiers and wait a hundred steps back.

Although Xiao He and Zhang were confused, they still carried out Bai Yan's order without any hesitation.

Nie Kuan also retreated with him. At this moment, Nie Kuan looked at Bai Yan staying alone not far from the bonfire, and sneered in his heart.

In front of the campfire.

Bai Yan knelt down and sat on the ground, ignoring the soil and the slight burning sensation coming from the campfire.

"You said his name was Nie Kuan!"

Bai Yan looked at the dead soul in front of him. When he learned that his name was Song Yuan, that he was the queen of Song Gong, the father of Song Jin, and the owner of the so-called "Jiuding", Bai Yan didn't know anything about Jiuding.

, far from being as simple as previously thought.

Obviously those people still want to use this incident to continue to slander him.

"Yes, general, that man's name is Nie Kuan. The villain was deceived by Nie Kuan before. The general must not listen to that Nie Kuan. If possible, please ask the general to go to Shiliting to save the Song family. Only the Song family can

As long as you are alive, you must identify the traitor and Nie Kuan's plot, so that they cannot succeed!"

Song Yuan said to Bai Yan anxiously. Although he was also horrified that Bai Yan, the general of Qin, could actually see him, a dead man, Song Yuan couldn't care less at the moment and hurriedly asked.

That night here, Song Yuan knew clearly that Nie Kuan planned to destroy the Song family and everyone in Shiliting.

"late!"

Bai Yan looked at Song Yuan and sighed deeply, his expression full of solemnity.

Bai Yan had never expected that Lord Changping and his staff would spend so much effort to frame the blame on him.

"I'm afraid that when Bai Yan leaves Pengcheng, there will be no more survivors in Shiliting!"

Bai Yan opened his mouth and said.
