Invincible son

Chapter 1263 1264 [The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying]

It's raining in Jian'an tonight.

The flower hall was brightly lit, but Pei Yue was sitting on the porch, gazing at the black night and listening to the sound of the rain hitting the plantains.

With the sound of soft footsteps behind him, Shen Danmo walked up to him and sat down, turning her head and staring at his side face, the concern and worry in her eyes could be seen clearly.

She already knew what happened during the day, Pei Yue was rarely furious after receiving the urgent report from Kyoto, the confidant generals present at that time only thought it was because of Gu Liang's injury, but Shen Danmo relied on his understanding of Pei Yue, Guess there must be something hidden in it.

The drizzle is swaying like fog, bringing a bit of coolness and freshness on this summer night.

Pei Yue frowned, stared straight ahead, and said quietly, "Why do you think Liu Bao is alive?"

Shen Danmo was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Who?"

Pei Yue said slowly: "There is an inner eunuch in the palace. The late emperor held him in high esteem when he was alive, and ordered him to be one of the most well-known servants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After ascending the throne, he will be sent to the imperial tomb to guard the tomb."

The life of this person appeared in Shen Danmo's mind, but he became more and more at a loss, wondering why Pei Yue would suddenly mention a palace prisoner who had nothing to do with horses and cows.

Pei Yue withdrew his gaze, bowed his head and said, "The late emperor was assassinated because of the explosion in the Nanxun Hall. This matter was conspired by Empress Chen, Wang Pingzhang, your father and Chen Xizhi. But the reason why the late emperor went to the Nanxun Hall that day was because Liu Baoran Went to the imperial court and said that Empress Chen had the idea of ​​committing suicide. Although the late emperor liked the present empress dowager more, he still had some affection for the empress, so he rushed to Nanxun Palace to take a look."

He sighed softly, and said with a complex expression: "It was this one look that caused the late emperor to pass away ten days later."

Rao Shen Danmo has been in touch with the files of Taishitai Pavilion since he was a child, and knows a lot of court secrets, and he is still surprised at this moment.

She asked softly, "Who does this Liu Bao belong to?"

In fact, she already had a guess in her mind.

Sure enough, Pei Yue replied: "He belongs to Yue Zhang."

Shen Danmo let out a soft cry, and thinking of the urgent report Pei Yue received today, an extremely terrifying guess emerged in her mind.

Pei Yue leaned on the back of the chair, raised his head and said, "The case of killing the king in Nanxun Hall was the result of the joint efforts of those big figures, but the person who actually tied the button was Liu Bao. In other words, if the late emperor did not go There, no matter how many people are killed by blowing up, it is useless. Logically speaking, people like Liu Bao should be dead soldiers, but he survived well."

Shen Danmo stared at his profile, and couldn't help reaching out to hold his palm.

Start with a piece of ice cold.

Pei Yue held her soft hand instead, and said with a wry smile: "At that time, I couldn't figure out why Liu Bao was alive. Father-in-law told me that Liu Bao didn't know that there were explosives buried near Nanxun Hall, and Empress Chen really wanted to commit suicide at that time. Therefore, Liu Bao was only performing his duties. If such a person died inexplicably, it would arouse the suspicion of others. Moreover, he couldn't bear Liu Bao's life lost in vain, and even laughed at himself saying that he had some benevolence. "

Shen Danmo shook his head and said, "No, with Master Gu's decisive temperament, Liu Bao must die. Only the dead can keep secrets forever."

"Yeah, but I just believed Yue Zhang's words." Pei Yue shook his head and said with self-blame: "Why don't I think about it, what kind of person is Yue Zhang? Starting from a small pawn, and relying on his great achievements to reach the top of the military aircraft, if he had been so indecisive for decades, he would have turned into a pile of loess."

Shen Danmo patted the back of his hand with pity, and said softly: "This is Gu Houye's decision, why should you blame yourself? Now it seems that Gu Houye deliberately kept Liu Bao so that there would be an investigation in the palace. direction, and then lead the clues to himself..."

She stopped suddenly, and her face became extremely shocked.

Pei Yue turned to look at her, and sighed: "I heard the news during the day, and I was just angry at Wei Rui and Gu Fan for not protecting Yue Zhang well. In order to prevent him from having an accident, I repeatedly told those people to return all the firearms and hidden blades. The guards were sent to Yue Zhang's side. Originally, I thought that we only needed to hold on to the western region, and Yue Zhang was in the army, so there would definitely be no danger, but in the end, it was counterproductive. But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that there is something strange about it."

Shen Danmo Bingxue was smart, and quickly connected Gu Liang's keeping Liu Bao alive with his serious injury this time, and sighed: "Master Gu is at the cost of his own safety to win you the first move in righteousness."

Pei Yue's mood was surging, and he remained silent for a long time.

Shen Danmo asked again: "Are there any details about the war in the Western Territory in the Kyoto Express?"

Pei Yue shook his head, and said slowly: "Judging from the reactions of those people in the capital, Yue Zhang's injury is not strange on the surface, otherwise the manpower I stayed in the capital would not have reported. But Yue Zhang is not a general who charged into battle, but The commander in charge of the central army, even I would not personally risk it now, how could a veteran like him make such a stupid mistake? It would only be a situation to injure him among hundreds of thousands of troops. "

Shen Danmo said angrily, "A cold arrow from behind?"

"Ah."

Pei Yue responded, and then said: "There is another thing. The capital received the military report from the Western Territory, and then sent someone south to inform me. It will take a long time. If Yue Zhang was injured normally, he would definitely send people around Kai Jingdu directly sent a letter to me, so as to prevent me from misjudging the situation. But I have not received a letter from Yue Zhang. There are two explanations for this, either he is too injured to take care of this matter, and the people around him are in chaos. Or...he doesn't want me to know the inside story, and wants me to think in that direction."

Shen Danmo's heart was shocked.

What that direction refers to, she knows better than others.

Pei Yue continued: "There is a third possibility. Father-in-law hopes that I can gradually see the mind of the Tian family. He is worried that I will be obsessed with playing a foolish and loyal courtier. .”

Shen Danmo wanted to laugh but couldn't, and murmured: "How could you be this kind of person? Pei Yue, actually, I think Master Gu's worries are right, people's hearts are always in the belly. You are loyal to Liang, of course we I firmly believe it, but what do the palace and the court think? With your current fame and power, to say that those people in the capital are completely defenseless, I think this is just fantastic."

Pei Yue thought for a long time, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Forget it, you can't bury your head in the soil after all, no matter the flood outside, you can think that the world is peaceful."

Shen Danmo listened to the heroic spirit in his calm tone, a little proud but unavoidably worried, and asked softly: "Do you have to go back to the capital?"

Pei Yue nodded, and said calmly: "Some things can only be resolved in the capital, otherwise what is the purpose of my hard work all these years? Besides, my relatives and family members of the soldiers under my command are all in the capital, and not many people can give up everything."

He held Shen Danmo's hand tightly, and said softly: "I am absolutely sure to solve the problem when I return to Beijing this time, but I hope you can stay in the southern border temporarily and help me with a few important matters."

Shen Danmo said without hesitation: "No, I want to go back with you!"

Pei Yue coaxed: "Be obedient, I didn't mean to keep you here, it's true—"

Shen Danmo suddenly raised his white palm to cover Pei Yue's mouth, with tenderness in his eyes, he said firmly: "It's nothing more than life and death together."

Pei Yue was dumb, a smile gradually appeared on his face, he nodded and said, "Okay."

"Cough cough..."

Suddenly there was a crisp coughing sound in the hall.

The two turned their heads to look, and Pei Yue couldn't help but said, "Come out, I've been eavesdropping for so long."

A thin figure came out from the shadows, his eyes stayed on the palms held by Pei Yue and Shen Danmo, there was no shame on his face that Pei Yue had exposed, he raised his clean chin slightly and said: "Since Beiliang Jingdu has been taken care of by you It's like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, so I'm going to see it!"

Shen Danmo quietly withdrew her hand.

Pei Yue looked at the anxiety in the depths of Xu Churong's eyes, and smiled softly, "Okay, let's go together."
