The horse and chariot drove Chen Baiqi and Baili Peinan to Xianyang Palace. They were speeding along the way. On the high tower, the general at the city gate saw a streak of yellow dust and smoke not far away from a distance, and immediately sent an order.

Blow the horn, and when the horn sounds "woo woo woo" three times, he gives an order: "The generals in the palace are riding on errands, and pedestrians are moving out of the way -".

Upon hearing this, the Qin people who were sparsely coming in and out of the city gate immediately hid on both sides in a hurry. Some people were curious and quietly used the corner of their eyes to see who was being escorted by this group of cavalry.

But they were very fast and flew directly into the city.

The people of Qin saw only three figures passing by in the bronze chariot, one gray, one blue, and one green. They were dressed in gray robes, neat and dry, while the two robes in blue were swaying in the wind, like ethereal wings in the morning.

The butterfly lifts up the golden threads between its veins, while the green robe is like the green of the distant mountains, charming and charming.

They walked through the bustling and beautiful streets, and the closer they got to the inner city, the quieter and solemn they became. When the skillful cavalry horses passed through without neighing or making a sound, no city residents shouted loudly, and the pedestrians in the street moved quickly.

He stepped away with a calm expression that was commonplace.

Until they saw an inner city surrounded by a high stone wall, only a gray roof ridge was exposed, and a tall tower with a majestic pavilion and an extraordinary appearance.

The central gate of Xianyang Palace is made of a huge stone, which is rough and solid. In front of the gate, two rows of black-clad armored men stand solemnly.

The gatekeeper, a general wearing silver armor and carrying a sword, raised his hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty has an order, Jinwu Shi will lead the guests from Qi directly into the Qinzheng Hall."

The responsibility of the leader of the cavalry was over, so they raised their horses and waved their hands, then reined up their horses and left quietly. Chen Baiqi and the others got off the car one by one and walked to the stone gate. The Jinwu official took them to Qin on foot.

The country’s “Hall of Diligence”.

The "Qinzheng Hall" is equivalent to the place where the monarch handles various government affairs on weekdays. If there are important matters, it can also be used as a place for ministers to discuss major events.

It was almost noon, and the Qinzheng Hall was quiet. There were no courtiers discussing matters in the main hall at this time, but Ying Ji and Ji Ying were in the study.

Ying Ji was dressed in a black plain robe, which was very simple and heavy. There were no embellishments on the clothes or any decoration on the body. He did not wear a high crown and only used black cloth to tie up his hair like a waterfall.

Ji Ying also dressed more plainly and simply. It was during the national mourning period, so wearing grand and colorful clothes was not consistent with the etiquette of this world.

"I think it's time for someone to arrive." Ji Ying raised his eyes and looked out the window at the warm golden light cast by the thin sunlight on the branches and leaves, and said with a smile.

Ying Ji was holding a roll of sheepskin map in his hand, his eyes were deep in Twilight's eyes, and he said introvertedly, "This person is worth seeing."

He was referring to Baili Penan of Yuelu. He actually had no personal relationship with Baili Penan, but had met him several times before he invited him to participate in the "Climbing Platform" at Yuelu Academy.

He went there just as an excuse for personal matters, but for Baili Panan, Yingji felt deeply that he was a man of great talent and deep understanding, and that he was not an ordinary person.

"Unexpectedly, the most pure and pure lotus-like head of Peinan Mountain in Yuelu Academy would actually be involved with Mengchangjun and his ilk, and come to Qin for him. This is really strange." Jiying slapped his fan and shouted.

surprise.

Ying Ji raised his eyes and stared ahead, his gaze like a torch: "It's not a rare thing. Lord Mengchang captured a group of disciples from Yuelu Academy and imprisoned them in Xue Yi Water Prison. Even though Peinan Mountain is full of peaches and plums and is highly respected in the world,

But since ancient times, distant water cannot save the near fire. In Qi State, Lord Mengchang has long covered the sky with his hands, so he has no choice but to compromise for the sake of his disciples."

Ji Ying stroked his lips and wondered, "But how did I hear that the head of Mount Peinan is a man who would rather be a piece of jade than a piece of brick?"

"There is a kind of person who is born who would rather betray me for the world than teach me to betray the world. How is it difficult to understand?" Ying Ji said lightly.

At this time, the guard outside the door shouted: "Your Majesty, Jin Wuli has arrived with Chief Peinan and his disciples."

Ying Ji turned his eyes and said, "Pass it on."

The waiter outside the door immediately announced loudly: "Chief Peinan and his disciples are here to meet——"

The door was opened from the inside, and the light from outside flowed in like a tide. A long black stone hall gradually expanded between the cracks in the door. Then, a person stepped out from inside. He was smiling and smiling, and he was dressed in silver.

Wearing a patterned robe, he looks handsome and elegant.

When he saw Mount Peinan led by Jin Wuli, he stepped forward to greet him and said, "Captain Peinan, it's a pleasure to meet you."

He smiles and talks softly, and once he hears it, he feels that he is an easy-going and kind-hearted person.

This person is none other than Ji Ying.

Baili Panan recognized Ji Ying. He stopped, avoided the shield of the King Wu envoy in front, and bowed his hand to him.

"Penan has met the Prime Minister."

"Come on, follow Ying in quickly. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time." Ji Ying rolled up his hands with his sleeves and cordially pulled Baili Peinan through a layer of cloth to welcome him into the study.

But Baili Panan felt so "close" to him that he felt as if the hand being held was being bitten by a swarm of ants, densely itching, and he wanted to slap it away and slap it away.

Although Bai Peinan wanted to break away from Ji Ying, unfortunately he had just been ill and had just been bumped along by this frightened horse. He was already a little tired and couldn't break away at all.

But Chen Baiqi, who was following Baili Peinan and had been in the background of the scene, took a step forward before entering the small threshold, stretched out his hand to hold the back of Jiying's hand that "held" the mountain chief.

Seeing Ji Ying staring at her hand and then raising his eyes to look at her, Chen Baiqi pursed his lips and smiled slightly, saying: "Shan Chang has a wound on his hand. I hope the Prime Minister can understand."

Jiying narrowed his eyes.

Looking at the face of Baili Peinan's direct disciple, Ji Ying felt that although the young man in front of him was not as beautiful as Peinan Mountain, with magnolia and jade, and a clear temperament, he was still a handsome young man with fine features and beautiful eyes.

At first glance, it looks like a flower room.

"Huh? Is that so?" Ji Ying asked Baili Panan.

In fact, there is no injury on Baili Penan's hand. I'm afraid it's just an excuse that his disciples made casually because they didn't want to see him in trouble. But to "Chen Huanxian", this lie was just a lie, but he easily told it.

Don't tell lies.

But now it was his disciple who took the blame, and he had to shoulder the blame no matter how difficult it was.

"Before... I was hurt." Baili Penan said very vaguely, but he always had a serious face. Even if it was perfunctory or bluffing, others would not be able to tell any clues.

In fact, he was not lying. He was talking about the skin injuries caused by being torn off by iron chains in the water prison. However, the injuries were on the arms and had nothing to do with the wrists. Huanxian had been telling him morning and night in the past few days.

He applied medicine and the stasis was already gone.

"That's quite rude." Ji Ying looked surprised and immediately bowed to Baili Peinan to apologize.

Baili Peinan frowned and immediately returned the greeting.

"It's just a small matter, but the Prime Minister's words are serious."

The two of them exchanged pleasantries at the door. This time Ji Ying raised his arms first and walked in first. Chen Baiqi thought to himself: Huh, I really think that the master and the disciple are stupid. Even his mountain leader is like this.

The upright boy must have noticed that this Jiying is clearly fighting first and then saluting, and you guess it, guess it, guess it!

She wanted them to be confused as soon as they came up, and didn't know what they were thinking. She wanted them to get into trouble first, but she didn't do what he wanted. No matter what they wanted to play, their master and disciples were all there to stop them.

, water comes and soil covers it.

Entering the academy of the "Qinzheng Hall", it is relatively bright and open. On the east and west sides are a row of black wooden bookshelves against the wall. The shelves are filled with various bamboo slips and leather papers. To the north, there is a yellowish book hanging on it.

A map of the Qin Kingdom, while Ying Ji stood in front of the map, tall and tall, like a cold sculpture standing tall and tall, staring with his hands behind his hands.

"Baili Peinan has met the King of Qin." As soon as Baili Peinan entered, he saluted Yingji in accordance with the etiquette of a scholar.

Ying Ji then turned around. His eyebrows were pressed down, and he was inexplicably sharp and majestic. He stepped forward to hold Ying Ji up and said politely: "I wonder why the mountain leader came to Qin to see this king this time?"

Yingji asked knowingly.

As soon as Baili Peinan heard this, he knew that Yingji was probably trying to "seize them first." The "military situation" he had set up earlier and the "ceremony situation" he had set up later were both intended to disrupt their coming to make peace.

He wanted to put them at a disadvantage as soon as they came, for fear that Qin would not want to make peace with Lord Mengchang. If he hurriedly explained to Qin the intention of Lord Mengchang in sending them, he was afraid that the negotiation would really fall apart.

If you multiply, you have to cede land and pay compensation to complete the mission.

This doesn't matter to Baili Penan. It doesn't matter if Mengchangjun suffers some losses. As long as the ultimate goal is achieved, Huanxian is afraid that he is not willing to see such a result, so he cannot let it go.

From this.

Now that Ying Ji had a response, he did not answer. Instead, he turned in the direction of Chen Baiqi and said, "This is Peinan's recently admitted disciple - Huanxian."

Seeing this, Chen Baiqi immediately went out to pay homage: "Chen Huanxian has met the King of Qin."

Ying Ji didn't care about this little Yuelu disciple. He casually glanced at her and let her go without any courtesy, and then stopped paying attention to her.

But Ji Ying glanced at him suspiciously, and slowly narrowed his fox eyes as he remembered something.

This person... looks like the person who was with Mr. Mengchang when he escaped from Hangu Pass?

At that time, Chen Baiqi's demeanor and appearance were the most outstanding. When he asked the guard of Hangu Pass to describe in detail how Lord Mengchang escaped from Qin that day, he said that the person next to Lord Mengchang was a young man in charge, so he asked the guard to

When describing his appearance, the guard made the deepest impression on him and explained it most clearly.

The portrait has always been kept in his file. He has seen it several times and has a rough idea of ​​its appearance and temperament. Therefore, when he saw the real person, although he was somewhat different from the portrait, he felt that this person had something special.

It's somewhat familiar. Now that I hear his name, I can confirm it.

Recently, Mr. Mengchang has gained a new guest, who is very honored and favored. It seems that his surname is Chen.

Yingji had no memory of this matter, but he was handling it, so he would naturally remember him.

This... at first glance, it's really amazing. At first glance, the two masters and apprentices seemed to be quite docile and easy to bully. But when they dared to go to Xianyang City alone without a guard, they knew that they were not as good as they seemed.

It sounds so simple.

"Actually, Panan and his disciples are here today..."

Ying Ji said: "This matter is not urgent. The mountain leader Peinan and I have hit it off. Now that we have come to Qin, I will host a banquet so that the mountain leader and I can have a good time together."

Baili Peinan seemed to ponder for a moment, and then said helplessly: "It's better to be respectful than obey orders."
