"Great General, you've worked hard!" King Zhaoxiang hurriedly helped Baiqi up and said to him.
At this moment, his feelings towards Bai Qi were extremely complicated. He liked this general who was good at fighting, but he was also a little afraid of this prestigious general.
This time, Baiqi had destroyed the State of Zhao, and his contribution was not small. He did not know how to reward Baiqi.
Baiqi had given him and the entire State of Qin a huge surprise. After he received the news that the State of Zhao had been destroyed, he had been in a very good mood. Even when dealing with state affairs, he felt especially energetic.
He even became ambitious and high-spirited.
Perhaps it was because the destruction of the State of Zhao had greatly increased his confidence and stimulated his ambition.
"Everything is for the Great Qin Empire!" Bai Qi said solemnly.
When King Zhaoxiang heard Baiqi's words, he was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"Good, what a good way to say that everything is for the Great Qin Empire!”King Zhaoxiang could not help but sigh.
He really liked the name Great Qin Empire. It was very imposing and imposing.
Of course, he was even more satisfied with Bai Qi's attitude. He did not feel proud because of his contributions. At the same time, Bai Qi's words showed that he was loyal to Great Qin.
"Great General must be tired from the journey. Let's go back to the residence to rest first. In the evening, I will hold a banquet in the palace to welcome Great General and all the generals back in triumph!”King Zhaoxiang smiled at Baiqi.
King Zhaoxiang saw that Baiqi and his soldiers were all travel-worn, and he was too embarrassed to call Baiqi back to the palace. Furthermore, Baiqi had just returned to Xianyang City and had not even returned home. Baiqi had been out fighting for many years, so he must have missed his family very much. Therefore, King Zhaoxiang first let Baiqi return to his residence to see his family.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Baiqi bowed and cupped his fists at King Zhaoxiang. After bidding farewell to King Zhaoxiang and the ministers, he headed straight for Lord Wuan's residence in Xianyang City.
To be honest, Bai Qi was still very nervous. Although his body was still Bai Qi's, his soul had changed. For a moment, he did not know how to face Bai Qi's family.
It was fine on the battlefield, as he did not have to face these problems. However, now that he was back in Xianyang City, he might have to deal with them often in the future. This gave Baiqi a headache.
However, no matter how much of a headache he had, he still had to face it.
Moreover, he had taken over Bai Qi's body, so he had to take responsibility.
Fortunately, Bai Cheng was often out on expeditions, so he rarely had time to spend with his family.
Because Bai Qi spent most of his time on the battlefield, he did not have many children or wives. He only had a wife and a son.
Baiqi's wife was Wei Lan, the daughter of the former Prime Minister Wei Ran.
Wei Ran could be said to be Baiqi's benefactor. It was because of Wei Ran's recommendation that Baiqi, who had made a name for himself, had the opportunity to lead his troops into battle.
It could be said that Wei Ran was Baiqi's Bo Le, and Baiqi was extremely grateful to him.
Furthermore, Wei Ran was very fond of Bai Qi, and he had betrothed his most beloved daughter, Wei Lan, to Bai Qi.
Back then, Baiqi was a true hot-blooded man. He was a hero on the battlefield, and he did not back down even when facing a strong enemy.
More importantly, Baiqi did not pursue fame and fortune in the court, which was why Wei Ran appreciated Baiqi so much.
Bai Qi and Wei Lan had a son named Bai Zhong. In history, after Bai Qi died, the First Emperor remembered Bai Qi's contributions and even granted Bai Qi's son Bai Zhong the title of Taiyuan.
Just as Baiqi's carriage was slowly heading toward Lord Wu 'an's residence in Xianyang City, a luxurious residence near the palace was bustling with activity.
"Hurry up, hurry up, clean up the residence. The Great General is about to return to the residence.”
"Also, have you purchased all the things that the residence needs?”
"Be careful, don't break it."
……
This mansion was none other than Baiqi's Wu An Manor. When the people in the mansion heard that the Great General was about to return to Xianyang City, they all started to get busy, preparing to welcome the Great General back.
"Butler, the Great General has already rushed over from the entrance of the palace to the residence. He should be here soon.”Not long after, a man dressed as a servant rushed into the residence and reported to an old man in his fifties.
This old man was none other than the butler of the Wuan Manor, Bai Fu.
This Bai Fu was also from Old Qin and had been a soldier before. Later, he had retired after losing his left arm in a war and became the housekeeper of the manor. He had been doing this for more than twenty years.
"Have the servants in the residence prepare to welcome the return of the Great General at the door. I will go and invite Madam and Young Master out now.”Bai Fu gave an order to the servant beside him and then walked towards the inner courtyard of the mansion.
Soon, there were several rows of people standing in front of Wu Anjun's mansion. The leader was an old woman in her fifties, followed by a man in his twenties, and behind her was Butler Bai Fu and a group of maids and servants.
The fifty-year-old woman was Bai Qi's wife, Wei Lan, while the twenty-year-old man was Bai Qi's son, Bai Zhong.
Everyone in the mansion was excited and excited. Their general had returned.
Moreover, he had returned in triumph.
Furthermore, they had long heard of the Great General's military achievements in Zhao. The Battle of Changping, the Battle of Handan, the annihilation of the 200,000 reinforcements from Wei and Chu, the persuasion of the Yanmen County Governor's army, Li Mu, and so on, they could recite them all backwards.
Which of these achievements wasn't a huge achievement? Especially the destruction of the entire State of Zhao, which was unprecedented.
As the saying goes, when one person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven.
Now that their Great General had made a great contribution, the people of the entire Wuan Manor had also risen with the tide.
It was said that the prime minister was a seventh-grade official in front of his door.
No matter where the people of the residence went, their faces would be filled with pride.
When the peddlers in Xianyang City heard that they were servants of Lord Wu 'an's residence, none of them accepted their money.
When the people of Xianyang City heard that they were from the Wuan Manor, they were very polite and respectful to them.
All of this was because of their Great General.
However, they remembered the Great General's lesson and did not dare to act recklessly. Otherwise, it would not be good if they ruined the Great General's reputation.
Not long after, Bai Qi's carriage slowly stopped in front of his residence.
"Greetings, Great General!"
"Welcome back, Great General!"
Wei Lan and the others in front of the mansion bowed to Baiqi, their eyes filled with admiration.
Just like how fans in the future would see their idols, their eyes lit up.
"Get up!" Bai Qi said indifferently. Then, he glanced at Wei Lan and Bai Zhong.
Bai Qi had already made up his mind. He would let Wei Lan and Bai Zhong live their lives without worry and treat Bai Zhong as his own son.
Who asked him to occupy Bai Qi's body?
However, it was a little difficult for him to treat Wei Lan as his wife, especially since Wei Lan was already a fifty-year-old woman.
"Bai Fu, order the servants to prepare hot water. This general will take a bath and then rest for a while. At night, I still have to attend the king's banquet.”Baiqi instructed.
"Yes, Great General!" Bai Fu bowed and ordered the servants to get busy.
No one doubted him.
After all, Baiqi was always out on the battlefield, and his relationship with Wei Lan and Bai Zhong was very distant. Everyone was used to it.
"This will be my home from now on." After Bai Qi entered the mansion, he couldn't help but sigh.
After absorbing Bai Qi's memories, he was no stranger to this mansion.
"Great General, many officials and nobles in the court have sent servants to your residence to ask when you are free so that they can pay you a visit.”Bai Qi had just come out of the shower when the butler, Bai Fu, came to his side to report.
When Baiqi heard this, his face remained expressionless. He had already expected this situation.
Now that he had just destroyed the State of Zhao, his prestige was at its peak. Moreover, he had made a great contribution. Naturally, there were many people who wanted to curry favor with him.
"Even this general is not free during this period of time.”Bai Qi said calmly.
"Also, other than my old friends, I won't see anyone else.”Baiqi continued.
"Yes, Great General!" Bai Fu bowed.
Even though Bai Qi had rejected everyone's invitations, there was still an endless stream of people who wanted to meet him.
As a result, the entire front of Lord Wu 'an's residence was bustling with people.
"Great General, the carriage sent by the King to bring you into the palace for the banquet has already arrived at the entrance of the mansion.”In the evening, Bai Qi, who was resting, was suddenly woken up by Bai Fu.
In the entire State of Qin, only the Great General had this kind of treatment. For the King of Qin to specially send a carriage to bring the Great General into the palace for a banquet, it could be seen how much the King of Qin doted on the Great General.
When those who wanted to visit Bai Qi saw this, they all had envious looks on their faces.
"Got it." Bai Qi nodded and tidied his clothes. He then left the house and boarded the carriage sent by King Zhaoxiang of Qin, heading towards the palace.
