"Father, my uncle ordered someone to send a secret message!"
In a mansion, a man in his early twenties came to a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a Qin official uniform, carrying a scroll of bamboo slips.
"Um!"
The middle-aged man wearing Qin official uniform nodded, reached out to take the bamboo slip, opened it and looked at it.
"Father, Mr. Lu submitted his resignation to Xianyang yesterday!"
The young man said to his father.
In the study, the middle-aged man looked at the bamboo slips, then raised his hand to signal the servants to leave.
After a while.
"Numa'er, this matter must not be known to others."
The middle-aged man suddenly said something.
When the young man named Minuma heard his father's words, he immediately understood what his father meant.
"Father, don't worry, I will send someone to the county shortly."
Mi Nuo cupped his hands and said.
Mi Zhao naturally understood that although the news of the Bai family's son taking office as Gaonu would gradually be known to others in the future, at this moment, if his father had not specially arranged for people from the county to inform the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu would never know this so quickly.
information.
The reason why my father sent this news to the Xiongnu in advance was because he planned to let the Bai family's descendants be surrounded and killed by the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu in Shangjun without any preparation and unfamiliar with the place.
Even if the descendants of the Bai family could survive the Xiongnu's sword, the people of the outer county would be harmed by the Yueshi and the Xiongnu because of the defeat.
The former was punished and his title was reduced, and the latter's reputation was completely lost. If the two offenses were added together, even if the young man was alive, he would be ridiculed by the world. Together with the Bai family, there would be no chance for him to turn around in the future.
to the opposite.
After the Bai family's cavalry was destroyed, the Xiongnu and Yuezhi plundered Shangjun. When the time comes, my uncle will definitely give an order for Meng Tian to lead a large army to assist Shangjun. With the addition of the Shangjun garrison, it will not be difficult to stabilize the situation.
With Meng Tian around, Bai would be suspicious in the future, and he could only question Meng Tian's meritorious service, and finally offend Meng.
"The king has already suspected Bai Yu's incident before. This time, don't leave anyone alive, otherwise others will think he was killed by the Huns."
The middle-aged man put away the bamboo slips, looked at Minuma, and whispered.
I want this matter never to be known to others.
Death is undoubtedly the best solution.
Only dead people are the most reassuring!
"The child will definitely give instructions to his subordinates!"
Mi Zhu nodded, then turned and left, preparing to send the slaves who had been kept in captivity to Shangjun later.
Outside Xianyang City.
Ten miles outside the city, carriages were driving on the official road, and then stopped near a pavilion.
Members of the Bai clan stepped out of the carriage one after another.
"Get the things down first!"
"Be careful!"
Uncle Bai and Bai Yan began to instruct their servants to move all the things needed for worship to the cemetery.
There were servants working, so the other Bai family members naturally didn't need to do anything, so they all went to the pavilion to watch.
Following the sound of footsteps, Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue stepped out of the carriage. The two sisters came to the pavilion and looked at the miscanthus everywhere.
Both Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue came to Duyou for the first time. Looking at the scene in front of them, the two women could not help but subconsciously think that their great-grandfather Bai Qi had committed suicide in the pavilion at their feet.
Outside the pavilion.
Since Bai Yan had been here last time, he didn't have much emotion when he came here this time. After tying the horse's rope, he looked around.
"Illusion? Or has it disappeared?"
Bai Yan was a little confused. Last time he was here, he saw a weird old man.
But at that time, there were many people and he was in a hurry to get to Xianyang, so he did not wait for the opportunity to ask.
Now I came to this pavilion again, but I didn't see the old man again.
Could it be that I saw it wrong?
impossible!
"Walk!"
Uncle Bai's voice calling out to his tribe could be heard in the distance.
When Bai Yan heard this, he ignored the old man and turned around and walked towards the cemetery.
At this moment.
Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue also walked out of the pavilion.
The three of them looked at each other.
Because of their status, none of the three of them need to salute at the pavilion this time.
None of the three said anything.
After Bai Junzhu and Bai Yan canceled their engagement, the three of them had nothing to do with each other.
The only time we had any contact was what happened at Bai's last time.
At that time, although Bai Yan didn't expose it to his face, both Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue knew in their hearts that Bai Yan just didn't say it out loud.
Moreover, the eldest sister Bai Junzhu knew that the young man in front of her had already learned from her uncle that she was the only one in the Bai family's mansion who was familiar with Qi's script.
In this way, the young man must have guessed that she was the one who sneaked into the room and peeked at the bamboo slips.
The cold wind blew through the pavilion, causing the long hair to flutter.
Bai Junzhu looked to the side with some embarrassment. It was not until he felt that the young man turned around to leave that he looked at Bai Yan's leaving back, with a complicated expression in his beautiful eyes.
Once in the Bai family's mansion, this young man who almost became her husband turned his back to her like this, leaving face to her and Yingxue.
A blink of an eye.
The boy from the noble family who was wearing rags and old clothes, the boy who didn't expose them, has now joined the army and is the fifth official in the army.
Think of this.
She couldn't help but have an idea, if she had stopped her father and grandfather at the beginning, if she had insisted on not terminating the engagement.
So this young man who led the cavalry army northward in the battle to conquer Korea, and who was able to see through the Korean army's plans at a young age, is now the fifth official of the Qin State, and is still her fiancé and her future husband.
Maybe in ten or eight years, she will also be a general's wife.
As for the young man's achievements in this life, even his uncle said that he would probably surpass him by one or two titles, and he might even reach the rank of young master.
Then she is the second general's wife among the Bai family after her aunt Lu.
Instead of getting married and leaving the Bai family.
"Sister!"
Yingxue's voice came to his ears, and Bai Junzhu came back to his senses, feeling a little dazed.
"Sister, the sacrifice is about to begin!"
Bai Yingxue looked at her eldest sister Bai Junzhu.
"Um!"
Bai Junzhu nodded, his beautiful eyes dimming a little.
In front of the cemetery, Uncle Bai and Bai Yan led the Bai clan members to light wormwood, and then asked their servants to burn all the chickens, ducks and fish they brought in small pits in the southeast, northwest and northwest.
It was said to be a ceremony of worship, but because of Bai Qi, many things were kept simple and not too grand.
The whole sacrificial process only takes half an hour.
After the sacrifice was completed and watching the sky gradually darken, Bai Yan arranged for all the Bai clan members to return to the carriage and go to Xianyang City to spend the night later.
They, the Bai family, were engaged in business and also owned a sizable mansion in Xianyang City.
Next to the pavilion.
Bai Yan untied the horse's rope and offered sacrifices. When he was about to return to Xianyang and returned to his mansion, he suddenly saw Uncle Bai coming.
"My dear nephew, let's have dinner together later and then go back."
Uncle Bai was not in a hurry to get on the carriage, but came to Bai Yan's side and spoke softly.
Bai Yan was then told that on the day of the sacrifice, according to custom, all tribesmen who came to offer sacrifices must have dinner together after the sacrifice.
"good!"
Bai Yan thought for a while and nodded.
Anyway, he already has his own mansion in Xianyang City, so he can go back to his mansion later.
After all, after today, I don’t know what year or month I will contact Bai next time.
Dear readers, please wait until I am in better condition to post more updates!
