" Phew…Big Brother Bai, you really scared me to death…"
After the court session, Bai Qi and the other two walked on the streets. Meng Tian patted her chest with a face full of lingering fear.
Just as he said, he was really frightened just now. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was scared to death.
But at the same time, his admiration for Baiqi grew deeper and deeper. To dare to say such words in the Imperial Court and not give face to Minister Lu, he was probably the only one in the entire Qin Dynasty, or even the entire world.
However, even so, Minister Lyu was speechless. The King of Qin praised him even more and gave him an extraordinary reward.
Meng Ao by the side also laughed bitterly. He secretly sighed that the descendant of his old friend was really troublesome. At the same time, he was not simple.
He had been in the court for so long that even a martial artist could understand some things. Love.
In the situation just now, Baiqi was clearly using the King of Qin to pressure Lu Buwei, and at the same time, he was using Lu Buwei to make his stance clear to the King of Qin.
Of these two, one wanted to control the government but didn't dare to do it openly. The other wanted to take back power but didn't dare to do it forcefully.
Baiqi had used this balance to contain both sides, and then he had made it clear to the King of Qin that he had no intention of joining Lu Buwei's faction.
The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, was still young. Although there were some civil and military officials in the court who supported him, they were almost useless.
As such, Bai Qi, who had taken down a country with just fourteen arrows, was a capable subject that he had to fight for.
Although Bai Qi had clearly stated that he would not kneel in the Imperial Court, Ying Zheng was probably already thinking about how to make Bai Qi his trusted aide.
However, this art of checks and balance also depended on the target. Baiqi knew that Ying Zheng was an emperor who had a great ambition, which was why he did this.
If he was a fatuous ruler, he wouldn't need to think of any other way because he wouldn't even come.
After thinking through everything, Meng Ao's heart was also a little palpitated. He immediately changed the topic and said,"Li Ji should be here by now. It will still take some time to clean up the mansion that the king bestowed upon us. During this period of time, Bai Qi and the rest of you can stay in my mansion.”
Bai Qi. "Yes, I'll be bothering you during this period of time."”
Thus, the three of them arrived at the Meng Residence and were warmly received by Madam Meng. Bai Qi and Li Ji stayed there, and half a month later, they officially moved into the Bai Residence.
Time passed. In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.
On this day, in the backyard of the Bai Manor.
There was a man dressed in white with slender hands. His fingers continued to pluck the zither, and the melodious melody was slowly played. The picturesque scene made him look quite elegant.
At the same time, two women in the backyard.
One of them was a woman dressed in light yellow. She sat intimately beside the man with a blissful smile on her face.
The other woman was dressed scantily. Coupled with her pair of gold on the right and blue on the left, she had a different kind of seduction. Huo was clearly not from the Central Plains, but his skin was fair. Xi was very different from the rough appearance of ordinary foreign races.
A few minutes later, the music stopped, and the two women clapped as if they had just woken up from a dream.
"Husband is really too amazing. Even Kuang Xiu might not be able to compare to such a song.”
The yellow-clothed woman smiled sweetly and hugged the man's arm.
"Master is skilled in both martial arts and martial arts. A twenty-one-string zither was even more unheard of.”
The woman who called herself Hu Ji knelt down humbly.
The man smiled but didn't say anything.
These three people were Bai Qi, Li Ji, and the foreign woman gifted by Ying Zheng, Hu Ji of the wolf tribe, who had appeared a few times in the original novel.
Time passed. After two years, Baiyuan's attributes were several times higher than normal people, so his body grew very fast. Although he was only ten years old, he already had the appearance of a fifteen-year-old.
Li Ji had also become more and more beautiful. Although her original lively personality had not changed, her appearance had become more mature.
In these two years…
In the first year, there were many battles in the Qin Country. Baiqi had gone out to battle many times, and he returned with a great victory every time. His military achievements were outstanding, and his name as the God of Slaughter spread throughout the world. However, because of Lu Buwei and Zhao Gao, he was unable to pursue the victory.
In the second year, small-scale wars continued. But in the previous year, Lu Buwei had completely understood the threat of Baiqi. Therefore, he forcefully stopped Ying Zheng from letting Baiqi go out to war, causing him to stay idle at home for an entire year.
It should be mentioned that because he had picked up his old profession from his first life, the zither, and used music to cultivate his body, the current Baiqi was more like a scholar than a general.
"Husband, I still want to listen ~"
Lizzie pleaded in a coquettish tone.
Bai Qi. She nodded and placed her hands on the strings. Just as she was about to play, a maid walked in.
"Milord, a eunuch is waiting outside, saying that the King of Qin has summoned him.”
"Yes, I am. Let him wait."
Bai Qi nodded his head and ignored him. He closed his eyes and started playing the zither again.
However, this time, he was interrupted before he could finish playing.
"Eunuch, you can't go in! My lord has something to do!"
"Get lost! What could be more important than the king? I think Bai Qi doesn't want his head anymore!”
The sound of quarreling could be heard. Soon, a eunuch with a sharp face walked in.
He looked at Bai Qi arrogantly and said,"General Bai, do you want to defy the imperial edict?”
Bai Qi slowly opened his eyes and looked at him calmly. He placed his hand on the zither and placed it on the sword beside him.
"Eunuch, do you know what sword this is?”
There was no fluctuation in his tone, and it could not even be called indifferent.
The eunuch shouted. He paused for a moment, but when he remembered that it was Zhao Gao behind him, he immediately straightened his back and said,"The Frightening Salamander Sword is a sword bestowed to the general by the king. Had General Bai forgotten how to hold a sword? Or had he forgotten that this was a gift from the king?”
Holding the Startling Salamander Sword, Baiqi slowly stood up and continued,"Then do you know what swords are used for?”
The eunuch couldn't help but take a step back. "Of course…swords are used to kill!"”
"Correct."
Clang!
The Startling Salamander was unsheathed, and purple light flooded the backyard. Then, the light condensed and transformed into a purple sword qi that shot out. Out!
Puff!
Leaves flew everywhere, severed arms fell, and blood splattered everywhere.
"Ahhh!"
The eunuch fell to his knees on the spot, his remaining left hand covering the wound on his right arm, blood dripping non-stop.
"It seems that I haven't been out for a year and someone has already forgotten what the name Bai Qi represents.”
Ta…
Light. Light footsteps were heard, and the eunuch lifted the carriage. She raised her head and met Bai Qi's eyes. In the next second, she was completely…The blood in his body seemed to freeze, and he was inexplicably terrified.
It was a pair of eyes that didn't look human.
It was a gaze that was even more terrifying than the indifference it once had. God;
That was…a gaze that regarded all living things as ants!
"I didn't kill you because I needed you to pass a message to Zhao Gao. If there's a next time, I'll kill him!”
At this moment, the eunuch understood that the rumors outside could not be trusted. Bai Qi had not lost his spirit because of a year of silence.
Everyone was deceived by his refined appearance!
He was like a sword, a sword that could kill. He would only show his sharpness when he killed.
This year, he did not lose…Instead, he found the scabbard!
Such a sword would definitely be earth-shattering once it was unsheathed.
Killing God, he was still the same Killing God!
**********
Hmm…because some readers commented that I had miscalculated the number of twenty-seven arrows and used fourteen arrows. How could there be twenty-seven arrows left? So I'm doing some math here (because I have a hunch that readers will ask this question again)
Baiqi had prepared a total of 40 iron arrows and two arrows specially made by the Gongshu family.
Fourteen arrows were used to break through the city gate, including two specially made arrows, twelve iron arrows, and one iron arrow used to kill the eunuch. There were twenty-seven arrows left.
Actually, I could have written all of this clearly in the main text, but I didn't think it was necessary and didn't like to fill in the water, so I didn't write it.
