When Chen Zhiyuan approached the straw hut, he realized that there was a small piece of farmland behind the straw hut. The old general Wang Jian, who had once shocked the world, was sitting by the farmland like an old farmer.
"Old General, Zhiyuan came uninvited.”Chen Zhiyuan cupped his hands and smiled.
"After so many years, the Marquis Champion is still as elegant as ever, hahaha.”Wang Jian replied with a loud laugh. His voice was full of energy, and it was completely impossible to tell that this was an elderly man.
"Old General, you must be joking. How can Zhiyuan be so elegant? He was only a small commander back then.”Chen Zhiyuan walked to Wang Jian's side and sat on the ground, not caring about the soil on the ground.
"This old man has already taken off his armor and returned to the fields. If Lord Marquis has come for this military matter, I'm afraid I will disappoint Lord Marquis!”Wang Jian turned his head and gestured for the maid to brew a pot of tea.
"General, you're worrying too much. Zhiyuan only came here to inquire about a person.”Chen Zhiyuan smiled.
"Oh? If you don't know anything, how would an old man like me know?”Wang Jian replied,
"This person's surname is Bai Tu, and his name is Gongsun Tu!”Chen Zhiyuan stared into Wang Jian's eyes and said slowly.
Hearing the two words Bai Tu, a trace of light flashed across Wang Jian's turbid eyes.
"So you're here for this kid.”Wang Jian obviously knew some things.
"Do you know how Great Qin's Lord Wu An died?”Wang Jian turned to Chen Zhiyuan and asked,
"Rumor has it that he died under the Earthen Swamp 24 Formation formed by the six clan heads.”Chen Zhi paused for a moment and continued," The history books recorded that Lord Wu 'an was proud of his achievements and attempted to rebel. When he failed, he committed suicide by taking poison to avoid punishment.”
"Do you believe me?" A trace of disdain flashed across Wang Jian's eyes.
"I don't believe you."
"Of course I don't believe it. Baiqi has dominated the battlefield his entire life, and no one dares to fight against him. How can a small formation set up by the Sixth Clan Head of a peasant clan hurt him?”Wang Jian was very disdainful of the farmers.
Of the hundred schools of thought, only Wang Jian, a farmer, looked down on them.
"Then can the Marquis be trusted to rebel?" Wang Jian asked again.
"I don't believe you!" Chen Zhiyuan shook his head. He had never seen Baiqi before, but if such a person wanted to rebel, Prince Zhao of Qin would not have been able to stop him.
Now, it seemed that Baiqi's great achievements had shocked the Lord, and Prince Zhao of Qin had given him the poisoned wine, causing the death of Lord Wu 'an.
If Ying Zheng had been the Emperor of Qin State back then, Baiqi might still be alive now, intimidating the remnants of the six dynasties.
"You may not believe it, but everyone else does. If you were a descendant of the Bai Qi Clan, what would you do?”Wang Jian asked.
The name of the traitor was too sensitive. No wonder Bai Tu's performance was so unbearable and even disgraced the reputation of his ancestors.
No one would have thought that such a person would be related to Baiqi, who had looked down on the world in the past.
"Old General, you mean that Bai Tu is a descendant of Bai Qi?”Chen Zhiyuan asked.
"Yes and no. Bai Tu is only a descendant of a branch family disciple in the Wuan Manor. He can't be considered a direct descendant.”Wang Jian shook his head and then nodded.
"But this kid's abilities aren't weak. He has also learned most of the martial arts that Lord Wu 'an taught him.”
"Does Your Majesty know?" Chen Zhiyuan asked.
Regardless of whether Bai Qi had rebelled or not, he had died at the hands of Prince Zhao of Qin, so it was inevitable that these descendants would hate Great Qin.
If Ying Zheng knew about it, he would surely kill himself in order to avoid trouble.
Wang Jian shook his head."Maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't. This kid's acting for so many years is pretty good."”
Chen Zhiyuan finally understood that the reason why Bai Tu was able to remain in his current position despite his behavior was all because of Wang Jian taking care of him from behind.
"Zhiyuan understands. I won't let a second person know about what happened today.”Chen Zhiyuan nodded and made a promise. Since Wang Jian believed that he had revealed Bai Tu's secret, Chen Zhiyuan naturally would not disappoint Wang Jian.
"It doesn't matter. He's been well-rounded these years. Sometimes, even I don't know what he's doing.”Wang Jian shook his head. He had Bai Tu stay in the army because he wanted to take care of the descendants of Lord Wu 'an.
The second reason was to monitor Bai Tu and prevent him from doing anything to become Great Qin's enemy. In the end, he would die and cause Bai Qi's bloodline to end.
Now that Wang Jian was old, he did not want to care too much, so he did not care about Bai Tu's actions these few years.
"I'm old, and I don't want to interfere in the affairs of your generation, much less care about them. In the future, it's best if Lord Marquis doesn't come to visit me for such matters.”Wang Jian stood up from the ground and slowly and leisurely walked back to his straw hut.
"Sorry to disturb you!" Chen Zhiyuan cupped his hands apologetically at the thatched cottage before leaving with Blooming Flowering Pavilion.
Wang Jian indeed had no interest in government, and he didn't want to get involved in these games of power.
