Invincible son

Chapter 367 366 [A glass of wine]
A square table and three chairs.

Two jugs of sake, several plates of food.

Daliang has established the country for nearly a hundred years, and now there is a trend of not being tired of food, especially the high-ranking officials in Kyoto, they always have twenty or thirty dishes for a meal, so as to show their dignity.Now that Pei Yue is an imperial envoy and a relative of martial arts, in the eyes of outsiders, he already has the qualifications to pay attention to ostentation, and the crude food like this should not have appeared in the first place.

"You two heroes, please."

Pei Yue looked at them with a smile, and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Ye Qi lived alone for the past few years, and had to take care of daily necessities by himself, so he was no stranger to those things in the kitchen.At first, she thought it was just Pei Yue's way to adjust the atmosphere, but when she saw that he was acting decently, she couldn't help being very curious, so she picked up a meat skewer, took a bite, and said with a little surprise: "It's really good."

Lin Shuyue picked up a bunch of green vegetables, tasted it and said with a smile, "Master, have you learned how to cook before?"

Grilling food seems to be very simple, but it requires the ability to control the heat, neither raw nor burnt. It is necessary to ensure that every inch of the food is heated evenly. This is by no means a novice.

Yes, I used to make a lot of money selling barbecue.

This sentence can only be hidden in Pei Yue's heart. He did support a barbecue stall in his previous life, but that was when he was in school and used the work-study program during the winter and summer vacations to experience life by the way.Later, when he entered the business world, he would occasionally reminisce about the stories of his youth, but he never had a similar opportunity after he came to this world.

Faced with Lin Shuyue's doubts, Pei Yue raised his eyebrows and said: "There are some people in this world who can do anything just by looking at them. We generally call them geniuses. Fortunately, your young master is such a genius."

Lin Shuyue covered her mouth and laughed, nodded and said: "That's right, the young master is a genius, and no one in the world can match him."

These words were spoken from a delicate and beautiful mouth, coupled with the affection revealed in her clever eyebrows and eyes, Pei Yue had a kind of pleasure of being slightly drunk before the bottle was opened.

Ye Qi raised his forehead and said: "One dares to boast, and the other dares to admit it. You really cooperate with each other tacitly."

Lin Shuyue couldn't help showing a little nervousness. Since Ye Qi came to Pei Yue's side, she clearly felt the respect of other people for this martial arts master, especially the soldiers represented by Deng Zai.Although Ye Qi and Pei Yue have not yet confirmed their status, in the eyes of those people, she is a well-deserved mistress.

Although Cai Cai was acting just now, and Ye Qi made it clear in advance that it was for Pei Yue's sake, Lin Shuyue was still a little nervous deep inside.

Now she can't have a second way, she can only stay with Pei Yue, but her identity is a bit embarrassing, so she will be extremely cautious in front of Ye Qi.

Pei Yue knew her thoughts well, and his eyes gently signaled her not to worry, then smiled at Ye Qi: "I remember that in the small courtyard in the northern suburbs of Kyoto, someone didn't allow me to call her a girl. If I want to call her a lady, I think it's because she has already seen my genius status. Ye Qi, do you think I'm right?"

Ye Qi looked indifferent, blinked and said: "Maybe it's because her eyes are not very good."

Pei Yue was at a loss for words.

Lin Shuyue watched the confrontation between the two with great interest, and gradually understood what her future life would be like.

The young men and women in front of them are different from most powerful people in this world. Pei Yue is decisive but does not always put on the airs of a grand master. Although Ye Qi is a bit arrogant, he is not the kind of bullying person.Lin Shuyue has seen the warmth and coldness of the world over the years, and this is the first time she has met such an interesting and loving combination.

Even though she knew that no matter how hard she tried, she might not be able to match Ye Qi's status in Pei Yue's heart, but she liked this atmosphere very much.

Pei Yue didn't allow the maids to come to serve, so Lin Shuyue stood up and filled them with rice wine.

The aroma is overflowing and the color is clear.

Pei Yue raised his glass to the two of them and said: "Thanks to the consideration of the two heroines, Fusheng has given me half a day's leisure. Let me toast to you first."

Everyone finished drinking.

Ye Qi put down the wine cup, and said slowly: "Pei Yue, before I left the capital, I went to Zhuangzi in the northern suburbs. Mr. Xi asked me to bring you something."

Pei Yue asked, "What did you say, sir?"

Ye Qi replied: "He said that the target of the Western Wu people will definitely be Hucheng. As long as Hucheng is still under the control of the Daliang army, they will not be able to capture Lingzhou. He also said that the emperor will let you lead the army to join the battle. But you have to be extra careful, because the war in the western region is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed."

Pei Yue nodded lightly. When Ye Qi left the capital, Mr. Xi should only know that the Western Wu army violated the border, but not the details, so he can only judge from the overall situation.Now that the border situation is becoming more and more obvious, the pincer offensive of the West Wu people is showing their sharpness. The problem facing General Liang is how to unify the border troops and establish a tacit cooperation with the defenders of Hucheng, so as to resolve the West Wu people by cooperating internally and externally. offensive.

"Mr. Xi also said that if the situation is particularly critical and you need help, you can go to Xiangcheng Hou Xiaojin."

As Ye Qi spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Pei Yue.

The cover of this letter is very simple, with only six words "Acknowledged by my virtuous brother Huaiyu".

Huaiyu is the cousin of that Xiangcheng Hou Xiaojin.

"Is this a token?" Pei Yue asked solemnly holding the light but heavy letter paper.

Ye Qi nodded and said: "Mr. Xi asked me to tell you that the Marquis of Xiangcheng is trustworthy, and he was one of the few good people among those people back then."

Pei Yue remained silent, with complicated emotions in his heart.

That year should refer to 15 years ago, when the imperial power changed and the turbulent era was turbulent. To be able to get such a high evaluation from Mr. Xi, one can imagine the character of Xiangcheng Hou Xiaojin.From another point of view, Mr. Xi did not hesitate to use the precious friendship of the year to try to leave a way out for him, which only shows that he is very pessimistic about this war.

In other words, Mr. Xi would not have written this letter if he hadn't felt that the western frontier army and even Pei Yue himself would be in danger.

Pei Yue looked at Ye Qi steadfastly. In fact, she had been in Lingzhou for more than 20 days. She had the opportunity to hand over this letter to him, but she never did that. Obviously, it was because she also understood the reason behind it and didn't want to Pei Yue really led his troops to the border.

People will always die in war, and of course Pei Yue may die too.

"Why?" he asked softly.

Ye Qi glanced at the quiet Lin Shuyue next to her, and then said in a complicated tone: "I hope you can stop for a rest, but I don't want to see you stop. It's not because I want you to go straight up, but because there are too many Many people want to trample you in the mud. All I can do now is try to keep you safe, but you can only rely on yourself for many things."

These words are very simple and straightforward, but the affection contained in them is as heavy as a thousand weights.

Pei Yue's answer was only two simple words: "Don't worry."

Ye Qi smiled slightly.

Lin Shuyue sighed softly in her heart, she suddenly understood why Ye Qi was so magnanimous, even after guessing that she had a story with Pei Yue, she only lightly asked her to go back to the capital together in the future.

She didn't know which step Pei Yue would take in the future, whether he would be made a marquis or sent to the execution ground, but she could be sure that no matter what the road ahead was, Ye Qi would definitely be by his side.

Seeing the two people looking over at the same time, Lin Shuyue smiled, raised her glass gently, and drank it slowly.
