Invincible son

In the city of Xing'an Prefecture, the night is desolate.

Pei Yue went down the corridor independently, with his hands behind his back, holding a book in his hand, looking up at the waning moon in the sky.

He is not deliberately acting lonely or hypocritical. After all, he has seen nearly 40 years of vicissitudes in his two lifetimes. In terms of mental age, he is more mature than Pei Rong, not so childish.

Zang Fengwei will set off for Jiuli Pass tomorrow morning, where he will familiarize himself with the landform and climate of the wasteland first, and wait for the governors of Huazhou and Yunzhou to deliver the things Pei Yue needs, before starting to sweep the barbarians on the wasteland. offensive.

The reason why he looks at the moon alone at this time is because there are too many emotions in his heart that he cannot express to others.

Five days passed, and the sad atmosphere in the city eased somewhat.However, for those ordinary people who lived their lives honestly, the tragic results of more than 3000 dead and more than [-] injured could hardly be concealed by the joy of defeating the barbarians.Those who died and were injured that night were all native-born locals, which meant that thousands of families suffered varying degrees of casualties.

The death of Fang Xun pushed this sad atmosphere to the climax. In the past four years, he has devoted himself to the position of magistrate, and it can be said that he is deeply loved by the people. Therefore, people go to worship outside the government office every day. Almost every household in the city Hang white at the door.

After years of war and baptism, Pei Yue thought that he had already cultivated his heart like a stone, but when he saw those ordinary people crying because of the death of their relatives, seeing those dull men with mutilated limbs but still respectful in front of him, seeing For those children who lost their father and were timid and didn't know how to face the world, he felt a long-lost emotion boiling in his heart.

Fumbling in the court, finding his way in the vortex of power, it seems that he is also constantly falling into that abyss.

Just like his hesitation during this time.

Chen Xizhi previously said that he deliberately suppressed the marching speed of the Zangfengwei in order to delay the time to deal with the barbarians as much as possible, wait for the dust to settle in the capital, and seek the greatest benefit for himself.

Although Pei Yue firmly denied it at the time, only he knew that he was really in a state of entanglement in his heart.

The main reason is Kaiping Emperor's unpredictable attitude.

Pei Yue had always had a clear understanding of his position in the court, and he was a knife in the emperor's hand from the beginning to the end.At first, Emperor Kaiping was obviously confident that he could control the knife, but as Pei Yueli made more and more contributions, he gradually realized that the sharpness of the knife exceeded his expectations.

It is easy to hurt your own hands.

It's just that compared to Pei Yue, who has a relatively shallow foundation, Emperor Kaiping first had to deal with the influence of the Wang family in the army, which was not a problem that Wang Pingzhang could solve with every step of the way.

If he was allowed to get rid of Wang Pingzhang smoothly, how would he arrange for Pei Yue next?

It was difficult for Pei Yue to fully trust a strong and cold king, even if he changed his mind about suppressing himself after a year.

But if Wang Pingzhang was allowed to collude with various forces and put the emperor in an extremely dangerous situation, Pei Yue couldn't bear it.

Humans are such contradictory and complex creatures.

"Ugh……"

Pei Yue sighed softly, and stretched out his right hand holding the scroll in front of him, with a look of bewilderment and bewilderment in his eyes.

This is a newly transcribed book, with only two words on the cover.

In the evening of this day, two spies of Luan Yiwei came to Zang Fengwei's residence and solemnly handed over the book to Pei Yue.When he learned that Emperor Kaiping sent them this book, Pei Yue was really puzzled, because apart from this book, the emperor had no other intentions, as if everything he wanted to express was in the book.

After Luan Yiwei's spies left, Pei Yue took out the book from the fully waxed leather pouch, and after seeing the title on the cover, he was shocked and speechless for a moment.

This volume is called "On the Book".

I still remember that when I met Shen Danmo for the first time in Linqing County in the west, she once told the origin of Zang Fengwei's name: "When you use the brush strokes, Zangfeng is especially necessary. If you don't hide the front, your calligraphy will be sick."

This sentence comes from "On the Book", which is Lin Qingyuan's only surviving manuscript.Mo Moyun also said that there is only one volume of this book, which is hidden in the palace.

Pei Yue has been fascinated by this book for a long time. He found traces from the earth in Lin Qingyuan's former residence outside Chengjing City, Qinzhou. It was a greeting from his hometown that had traveled across the galaxy for decades.He didn't want to follow in the footsteps of this pioneer, because Lin Qingyuan's painstaking efforts went to waste, and finally ended up in a tragic end with unknown cause of death.

But he really wanted to see the posthumous work that Lin Qingyuan left for this world.

It's just that there are many things that can't be forced, at least for now, he is not qualified to enter the palace to take away the book. He never expected that Emperor Kaiping would send someone to send a copy of it on his own initiative.

Pei Yue became extremely calm at this moment, and did not read this book in a hurry, because the memories of the past were like scattered beads strung into a strange thread, and the wind and thunder stirred in his mind.

Zhongshanzi, Zang Fengwei, Lin Qingyuan, "Lunshu"...

Mr. Xi, Pei Zhen, Gu Liang, Mo Moyun, Ye Qi, the bloody night in Kyoto 17 years ago...

The combination of these pasts is enough to explain many problems.

First of all, Pei Yue can confirm that Emperor Kaiping already knew his true identity when he walked out of Lvliuzhuang and entered Hengduan Mountain, or even earlier, otherwise there would not be so many coincidences.

No wonder Emperor Kaiping never doubted his relationship with Chen Xizhi. Even though the possibility that Chen Xizhi was still alive a few months ago had been increasing, the emperor never got angry and doubted his loyalty.

Emperor Kaiping knew that his identity was only on the first floor, and there was a more terrifying conjecture below. Even though Pei Yue couldn't confirm it yet, he couldn't help but feel shuddering.

After contemplating for a long time, Pei Yue finally made up his mind, and opened the "On Book" gently, and the beautiful handwriting on the paper caught his eyes.

Lin Qingyuan explained his life with a paragraph at the beginning. In Pei Yue's imagination, this should be a brilliant self-report, just like those brilliant articles he had read in his previous life.

For example, Su Zhe's "Shangshu Mi Han Taiwei Book", and Dongfang Shuo's "44 words", and of course Wang Bo's description of himself in "Tengwang Pavilion Preface", which is known as the first parallel prose in the ages.

After confirming the other party's identity in Lin Qingyuan's former residence, Pei Yue thought of the ups and downs of the time when Gaozu founded the country, and subconsciously portrayed Lin Qingyuan as a noble scholar.Especially when he thinks of his painstaking efforts for the benefit of the people of the world, and his mantis trying to change the world, and finally passed away sadly and his hard work was tampered with, the word "strength of character" can't help appearing in Pei Yue's mind.

However, when he opened "On the Book" and looked at Lin Qingyuan's self-report on the first page, the expression on his face couldn't help but become more and more exciting.

Pei Yue's mouth was slightly opened, his eyes were wide open, and his face was filled with disbelief and absurdity.

There are a few words written on the front page: Beginners, failed in three years.Changed to martial arts, the school field sent out an arrow, and the drummer.But in business, one encounters cheating, the second encounters robbers, and the third encounters bandits.So I worked hard to cultivate, one year of severe drought, one year of severe flood, one year of migratory locusts.He studied medicine, achieved success, wrote a good prescription, took it, and died.

Pei Yue looked up at the starlight in the sky, as if an old man was looking at him proudly in the night, his face full of dimples was full of cunning and wisdom that saw through the world of mortals.

He had seen this text full of black humor many times in his previous life, and even joked that he would use it as an epitaph after death.

Unexpectedly, he never left a single word in his previous life, so he traveled through time and space to come to this world, and then stumbled out of the duke's mansion, where he started his journey.

Originally, he thought this life would be like this, but fate played a good-natured joke on him, bringing the warm spring breeze from his previous life through the mouth of the old man, which gave him a little comfort as a lonely foreigner.

Pei Yue stared at the starry sky above his head, raised his right hand and shook it, suppressing the sadness in his heart and whispered: "Senior, hello."
