The cold wind has entered the winter, and Ohnozawa can see at a glance, on both sides of the huge and wide lake, the reeds floating in the wind can't be seen to the edge, and the distant mountains and rivers at the end of the sky are looming.

Dayeze is collected by Jishui. From Noze to the west, it connects to Leize. To the southwest, Najishui connects to Heze. From the east to north, it flows out of Jishui. Then it passes through Qi State in the east and flows into the sea. From the east, it flows out of Zhuhe River and into Heshui.

It leads to the Sishui River, the Huaihe River, and the sea. Due to its convenient transportation and rich aquatic products, it has been a place for ancestors to survive since ancient times.

The sails were slowly moving forward on the lake. A famous warrior with a crossbow and a sharp iron eagle looked at the surrounding lake and looked at other sails in front and behind from time to time.

As the former princess of Qi and now the concubine of Qin, the route that Concubine Qi took back to Qi from Dingtao was not through Qufu, but directly by boat along the Jishui River to Qi.

This also mobilized most of Dingtao's official ships, and even when there were not enough official ships, many private ships and boatmen were used.

“Not far away, we’ll reach Xuju!”

Sima Xing looked at the young man beside him, his eyes a little reluctant.

After leaving Dingtao and taking a boat all the way, Sima Xing knew that Xuju in front of him was the last city on the waterway to Qi State. After Bai Yan sent Qi Fei to Xuju, Bai Yan was about to leave.

And after leaving, what Bai Yan has to face is a deadly battle with Chu State, everything is unknown.

We don’t know victory or defeat, nor do we know life or death!

"Uncle, you must be careful when you come to Qi!"

Bai Yan looked at Sima Xing standing aside and said softly.

Bai Yan's words couldn't help but make Sima Xing laugh and cry. He should have been worried about the danger of Bai Yan leaving, but instead he was warned by Bai Yan, which made Sima Xing helplessly laugh.

"I don't know which prominent family in Qi your boy comes from. Everyone, even Uncle Zhong, Bai Yu, and Hu Jin don't know your boy's origin."

When Sima Xing said this, he shook his head helplessly and looked in the direction of Qi Guo.

"Uncle, I won't ask too many questions here. Anyway, in the future, one day, it will be made public to the world!"

Sima Xing recalled the night he drank with Shi Bo Bai Zhong, Bai Yu, Bai Bo and others before leaving Xianyang. Everyone was speculating on Bai Yan's origins.

From the time he left Qi for unknown reasons, to the fact that behind his swordsmanship, he had a secret mentor and a good military leader, but he always said that he had no "strategy book", all of Bai Yan's actions and abilities were given to Bai Yan.

His identity is shrouded in mystery.

Uncle Bai once guessed that he was a disciple of Guigu, but Sima Xing, Bai Yu, and Shibo Bai Zhong disagreed. After all, Bai Yan did look like the mysterious Guigu disciple. If he was a Guigu disciple, there was no need to hide him.

But if it weren't for Gui Gu, it would be difficult to guess who Bai Yan was taught by and where he came from.

No matter what they speculated that night, the only thing that was certain was that Bai Yan was definitely not from an ordinary noble family. His words and deeds, especially when he went to the Bai family's mansion for the first time, did not behave like ordinary members of the noble family.

When an ordinary nobleman meets Bai Junzhu for the first time, he doesn't try his best to express himself and attract the beauty's attention. However, Bai Yan breaks off the engagement after a disagreement, let alone the first time they meet, he doesn't even hear about it.

Pass.

"My uncle is in Qi. If you need anything, please write to my uncle!"

Sima Xing turned to look at Bai Yan and gave instructions.

"Thank you uncle!"

When Bai Yan heard this, he looked at Sima Xing and bowed his hands in gratitude.

Shortly after.

As the ship slowly docked on the river bank, looking at the huge city in the distance, Bai Yan and Sima Xing took the iron eagle warriors and left the ship one after another. Concubine Qi, accompanied by the maid, slowly walked out of the cabin

He walked out of the house, his eyes looked like he had just woken up.

Perhaps it was because of the assassination of Daliang that Concubine Qi had been unable to sleep for some time. After seeing Bai Yan, she calmed down and fell asleep easily while on the road.

Winter is approaching, and both the lake surface and the breeze are a bit cooler.

Bai Yan looked at Xu Gou in the distance, then turned to look at Concubine Qi, who had already put on fox fur, and Sima Xing.

"Concubine Qi, uncle, please be careful when traveling all the way to Qi State!"

Bai Yan bowed his hands in salute to Concubine Qi and Sima Xing. He had no armor and only wore black clothes. However, the presence of the famous sword Zhanlu on his waist made Bai Yan's identity instantly apparent.

This is because Bai Yanshao did not wrap Zhanlu with cloth, but wore it generously around his waist.

"General, why not stay in Xuju City for one day! After resting, go to Qufu!"

Concubine Qi looked at Bai Yan and softly persuaded her.

Bai Yan put down his hand, looked at Concubine Qi, and shook his head slightly.

"One day can determine the success or failure of the war!"

Bai Yan said softly.

Sima Xing was a little surprised when he heard this and looked sideways at Bai Yan, his eyes full of surprise.

One day?

Sima Xing could understand that Bai Yan was anxious to return to Qufu, but Sima Xing always thought that Bai Yan was anxious to return to Qufu to prepare for the attack on Chu as soon as possible. However, Bai Yan's words now made Sima Xing feel that something was wrong.

What does this boy mean? One day? This boy plans to defeat the Chu army in one day?

The Chu army numbered no less than 100,000! How is it possible to defeat 100,000 Chu troops in one day? Even if Xiang Yan is not here, Xiang Yan will definitely keep his lieutenant.

Sima Xing was very confused, but it was difficult to speak at the moment.

"uncle!"

Seeing Bai Yan looking away from Concubine Qi and raising his hands to salute, Sima Xing sighed and raised his hands to return Bai Yan's salute.

After the ceremony, Sima Xing looked at Bai Yan who took a few steps back and then turned around to leave. He sighed with some melancholy, recalling Bai Yan's words that day.

What the enemy fears, we rely on!

Sima Xing knew that he was not the only one who was curious about Bai Yan's origin. Everyone from Qi to Qin officials and nobles were also curious and were trying to find out Bai Yan's origin.

No matter which famous family Bai Yan comes from, under the investigation of so many people, one day, the origin of the Bai Yan clan will be known.

By then, I'm afraid many changes will occur...

Sima Xing thought of this and looked at Bai Yan's back as he rode away, feeling a little worried.

A few hours later.

After Qi Fei and Sima Shang led the Iron Eagle warriors and palace guards into Xuju City, outside the city in the direction of the Qi State border, a group of soldiers holding Qi State flags and several exquisite Qi State carriages slowly drove

Arrive at the Xuju City Gate.

Not long after waiting, I saw the gatekeepers who allowed three of the carriages and a few soldiers to enter the city.

"Eldest sister, eldest sister!!!"

In the mansion, following the voice of a young woman, a girl's figure was seen in the courtyard, leading a group of men in uniforms from the distant corridor into the courtyard.

Concubine Qi, who learned about the arrival from a report from her servants, was already waiting in the courtyard with Sima Xing.

Looking at the young girl, Concubine Qi's pretty face suddenly showed a smile.

"Sister!"

Gui Hanzi trotted to the eldest sister's side. Looking at the eldest sister's appearance, her stunning beauty seemed to be more charming than before. This made Gui Hanzi's eyes twinkle.

Looking at the eldest sister, he kept shaking her delicate hand affectionately.

"Sister!"

The young master Tian Zhen also came to the courtyard at this time. When he saw the eldest sister Guichan, he also quickly raised his hand to salute the eldest sister.

After not seeing each other for many years, Gongzi Zhen looked at his eldest sister. Not only did he not miss her much, but he was a little scared. Especially when he saw the Qin clothes on his eldest sister Guichan, he couldn't help but think of Qin King Yingzheng.

And the eldest sister is now Ying Zheng's concubine.

"General Sima!"

Young Master Zhen then looked at Sima Xing and saluted, looking very respectful.

"Sima Xing, I have met the young master!"

Sima Xing also hurriedly returned the gift. At this time, other officials of Qi who were accompanying Master Zhen also saluted Concubine Qi and Sima Xing.

If one of them was Bai Yan here, he would definitely show a strange look in his eyes immediately.

Because that Qi official with a goatee, a thin face and pointed eyebrows, and at least seven or eight moles, Bai Yan always remembered the name he said when he greeted Concubine Qi and Sima Xing.

"Tian Xian, meet Concubine Qi and meet General Sima!"

Tian Xian looked at Concubine Qi with a flattering expression, then looked at Sima Xing with a smile and nodded slowly.

As the official sent by King Jian of Qi to greet Concubine Qi this time with Gongzi Zhen, Tian Xian's stance naturally goes without saying. Not only did Tian Xian, the Prime Minister of Qi, win over one faction, but he also always advocated being pro-Qin.

"I heard that Concubine Qi was frightened in Daliang during this trip. The minister and the young master rushed here day and night without stopping! I came late and Concubine Qi was frightened!"

Tian Xian smiled with self-blame, looked at Concubine Qi and explained.

After hearing Tian Xian's words, Concubine Qi nodded gratefully to Tian Xian, and then glanced at Young Master Zhen.

"Eldest sister, Hanzi has been worried about eldest sister these days!"

Gui Hanzi also looked at Concubine Qi at this time and said with heart.

Concubine Qi touched Gui Hanzi's head and smiled lovingly.

"Hanzi is interested!"
