Daqin Baizhisheng
Chapter 4
Ying Zheng looked stunned, and listened to his teacher's answer stiffly. He was very confused. Why did his teacher sell the news to Luowang? When he sneaked out of Handan with Bai Xiaosheng, he had countless opportunities to kill himself - could it be that his teacher made a deal with Luowang.
Bai Xiaosheng once said that he was a businessman, a thorough businessman. Merchants value profit and can do anything for profit.
The snow had stopped, and there were a few hoarse horse neighs in the distance. I wonder if it was the horse that had just been lost. Ying Zheng shivered with cold. He was not frozen, but afraid. The fear made his heart cold.
He looked at the teacher not far away, wondering if the other party would suddenly attack and kill him. He held the sword tightly, very nervous.
One sentence made the"student" tremble with fear for a long time. As a teacher, Bai Xiaosheng was not aware of it at all. He turned over the killer, tore open the lining, and found a spider web tattoo on the back of the killer's neck, confirming that this group of killers came from Luowang without a doubt.
"Let's go, hit the road, and go back to Handan."
Ying Zheng was startled and tilted his head. He hadn't recovered from the"imagination that the teacher might kill him" and asked subconsciously:"Teacher, won't you kill me?"
He was very surprised that the teacher notified Luowang, but killed all the Luowang assassins and didn't kill himself. It seemed that he would continue to take him back to Handan. What was going on...
Bai Xiaosheng smiled when he heard it. How could he not see Ying Zheng's messy thoughts? Shaking his head, he rarely joked:"Why, do you really want the teacher to sell you? Speaking of which, your head is very valuable, a thousand taels of gold." Ying
Zheng let out a long breath. The teacher was joking, which meant that his worries were unnecessary. He calmed down a little, led the two old horses that had just run away and ran back, walked to the teacher's side, and said with a bitter face:"Teacher, next time, don't scare people... Zheng'er is still young. Bai
Xiaosheng burst into laughter after hearing this, and then he got on his horse and continued to joke,"I hope I can scare you into adulthood one day, so that I can go collect the debt.""
…………
One day in mid-September, the road outside Handan City was barren with grass and snow covered the roofs. Two or three flying birds were foraging in the snow. In front of the city gate, the guards looked at the people coming in and out proudly, and guarded against scouts.
Not a month ago, Yan State stationed troops in the eastern border of Zhao State, saying that they were borrowing the road to attack Han State.
The Zhao court discussed and agreed again and again, but was cautious and sent Lian Po to patrol in the name of guard to prevent the Yan army from cheating.
Originally, Lian Po was not needed, but a few years ago, under the instigation of the Zhao pro-war faction, the King of Zhao, who had been silent for many years, went to war with his old enemy Qin State.
Le Cheng and other young generals all went to war, and this veteran was used as a last resort.
When entering the city, Ying Zheng saw many Yan merchants and Qin merchants being detained as spies.
In the crowd, he also saw an acquaintance, Shangqing Guo Kai.
Although he was dressed in disguise, Ying Zheng still subconsciously avoided this powerful minister who had power over Zhao State.
"Sir!" Guo Kai was extremely enthusiastic. Seeing Bai Xiaosheng from a distance, he clasped his fists and urged the coachman to come over.
The chariot stopped. A gloomy man helped him get off the car. He held a sword in his right hand, and his body instinctively made the toes of his left foot lean forward a little. He even used his left hand to support Zhao Mu. Everything showed the man's identity.
The left-handed swordsman - Lao Ai, Guo Kai's confidant and personal bodyguard.
Bai Xiaosheng also greeted him with a smile. Zhao Mu was his old customer. After a while of coldness, he glanced at the gloomy Lao Ai and wondered,"Sir Guo, are you going out to enjoy the snow? Even Lao Ai is with you."
Guo Kai was stunned, glared at Lao Ai, and then explained with a wry smile,"Something happened to Prince Qian.……"
Prince Qian? It is said that although he is the prince, he ignores state affairs all day long and indulges in prostitutes day and night. His body has long been hollowed out by wine and women. If his mother was not a princess of Wei, the King of Zhao would have deposed him long ago.
Bai Xiaosheng once met him and asserted that he was born old and his days were numbered.
"What ridiculous thing has our Crown Prince done again?"
"Hey... ridiculous, more than ridiculous!" Guo Kai's tone was full of disgust, as if he had eaten a fly. He pulled Bai Xiaosheng aside and told them the secret of the palace in a voice that only they could hear:"Prince Qian attempted to defile Princess Qingxue.’"
"What!?"Even though Bai Xiaosheng was prepared, he was still shocked. It was against human ethics for a brother to touch his own sister. Although the royal families of various countries were open and brothers often gave concubines to each other, the brother actually had evil thoughts about his sister, which was really a beast.
While they were chatting, there was a slight commotion in the crowd behind them, and the crowd consciously made way for a wide road. A team of cavalry rode over silently, at a very fast speed, and went to the city gate without stopping. On the chariot in the middle of the team was a girl wearing a pure white snow-colored gauze skirt. In this cold September, she didn't even wear a fur coat.
Through the lifted gauze curtain, one could see the girl's exposed arms and cheeks, as pale as snow, without a trace of blood, as if she was made entirely of snow.
When he met the girl's eyes, Bai Xiaosheng felt his head buzzing, and he was so stunned that he could not look away.
What kind of eyes are these? The sea blue pupils are blurred and deep, like the stars in the sea.
One glance at them will never be forgotten.
These should be a pair of active, beating, and lively eyes, but now, they are lonely, desolate, and even have a death wish, as if they were filled with gray as if they had abandoned the whole world.
"Is she Princess Qingxue?"
