Invincible son

Chapter 468 Chapter 467 [Hermit]

The war is about to end, Daliang has already decided the victory, and the whole Lingzhou is immersed in an atmosphere of joy and restlessness.

As the end of the year approaches, brothels and restaurants that have been suppressed and silent for half a year are also bustling again.The storyteller climbed onto the high platform and kept telling about the heroic performance of the Liang men in this battle. Naturally, they could not bypass Pei Yue and his Tibetan front guards. Their outstanding performance on the north and south fronts, especially Pei Yue's two plots Directly defeating the infantry army of Western Wu has become a feat passed down by everyone.

Some good people even compared him to descending from the stars to the earth, so that he could achieve such feats comparable to the founding prince in a weak year.

For a time, the whole city was talking about Pei, and everyone praised him.

Although Xue Tao, the governor of Lingzhou, was bored, he had no time for him. On the one hand, he had to dispatch a large number of civilians to assist the military in handling follow-up matters, and on the other hand, he also had to worry about whether Emperor Kaiping would be furious. There are still many entanglements between them.Although Ning Zhong is dead, Taishi Taige Mo Yun is on the front line, so there is no guarantee that he will not find out the secrets of the past.

Naturally, Xue Tao was not someone who was waiting to die. He tried his best to cooperate with the military's request, and at the same time sent people to the capital with a large amount of gold and silver to clear the relationship between the court and China in advance.

Pei Yue did perform perfectly in the battle in the western region, but Ning Zhong was killed by him himself, and he was not convicted by the court.In Xue Tao's view, this is naturally one of the opportunities to save himself. As long as Pei Yue can be crucified for this crime, he will have more room to move around later.

In such a complex situation with turbulent undercurrents, Pei Yue suddenly disappeared.

A few days later, a group of more than ten riders appeared in Taichuan Prefecture, south of Guangbin Prefecture.

This place is located in the south of Lingzhou, with Jinchuan Mansion to the west and Yingde Mansion to the east.

Pei Yue and Ye Qi were dressed in casual clothes, and the soldiers were all disguised as well, looking like a rich man traveling.

They met Mr. Xi on the outskirts of Guquan County.

"Let the guards find a place to live in the county, and you and Ye Qi will come with me."

Mr. Xi said without a doubt that his mood looked a little depressed.

Pei Yue responded, and then the three of them continued to ride eastward.

The road ahead was gradually desolate, almost deserted, and Mr. Xi remained silent.

Both Pei Yue and Ye Qi are people who can stand their tempers, especially Mr. Xi said before that he would answer his questions after the war, so they didn't show any anxiety and followed behind leisurely .

After walking for more than twenty miles, the surrounding scenery became more and more like the virgin forest that Pei Yue had seen in his previous life. Fortunately, the three of them rode divine horses, otherwise they would have to walk.

After walking to the east for half an hour, Ye Qi calmly gave Pei Yue a look after observing the surrounding situation.

Pei Yue's martial arts cultivation base is still weaker than Ye Qi's, and his five senses are not as sharp. After receiving Ye Qi's reminder, he discovered that there are some hidden secret whistles nearby, and they are all masters with extremely deep cultivation bases.

"Sir—" he couldn't help asking.

Mr. Xi interrupted him and said flatly, "Don't worry, we'll be there soon."

Pei Yue could only shut up.

After going two or three miles forward, bypassing a dense forest, the sight suddenly opened up.

A clear lake appeared in front of the three of them.

There is a small boat parked by the lake, and the boatman is a middle-aged man in his 40s.Seeing the three people appearing, he waved towards them.

In the distance, there is a vast island in the center of the lake, hidden in the steaming water vapor, the island cannot be seen, only some buildings can be vaguely seen.

At this moment, Pei Yue couldn't help but have some weird thoughts in his heart. Could it be that Mr. is secretly planning a rebellion?Along the way, it can be seen that the defense here is extremely strict. If you want to get close to this island in the middle of the lake, you must not only avoid the eyes of those masters, but also find a correct path among the mountains and dense forests.

If it wasn't for plotting to rebel, he really couldn't figure out why he would create such a secret place.

The three approached the island in the middle of the lake by boat. When they got off the boat, Mr. Xi said gently, "Thank you."

The boatman never cared about Pei Yue and Ye Qi, he smiled heartily and said, "Brother Xi, how polite are you and me?"

Mr. Xi smiled and nodded at him.

Pei Yue seemed to glance at the boatman's hands inadvertently.

After the three walked a certain distance, Ye Qi said calmly: "The boatman has experience in the army."

Pei Yue continued: "Seeing that his hands are covered with calluses, he should be a master of wielding knives and guns all year round. I didn't expect any boatman here to be so unfathomable."

Mr. Xi smiled and said: "The two of you have a tacit understanding now, and you are so proficient in singing and harmony. No need to test, he was indeed a general in the army before, and he was the leader of the first army that took down Hucheng 15 years ago."

Pei Yue was shocked, and almost instantly thought of an almost absurd possibility.

"Let's go, the house in front is where I'm going to bring you." Mr. Xi didn't elaborate, pointing to a spacious yard a few hundred feet to the north.

This island in the center of the lake has a large area and many buildings on the island. Although it is not elegant and luxurious, it looks very suitable for living.In fact, speaking seriously, this place is like the tourist attraction that Pei Yue has seen in his previous life, except that there are no crowded tourists and busy staff.

The three of them came to the gate of the house. Mr. Xi chatted with the old man sitting at the gate, then pointed to Pei Yue and said, "This kid fought two beautiful battles, and his achievements this time would have been sealed by Feng Yue back then." The Duke is enough."

The old Cangtou looked at Pei Yue steadfastly, opened his mouth and said with a smile: "It's a good skill, thanks to the fact that it didn't grow crooked."

Mr. Xi pointed to Ye Qi again and said: "This is the blood of the Ye family. His one-handed marksmanship is already seven times as good as the Duke of the country. There is no match among young people in this world."

The old Cangtou's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and he was full of praise: "The Ye family's marksmanship is good, the little girl is really amazing!"

Mr. Xi smiled and said, "I call him Uncle Zhang. He was the closest old man to Grandpa Guo. You can just call him Grandpa Zhang."

Pei Yue and Ye Qi saluted him, but the old man hurriedly got up to avoid him, saying that he didn't dare.

The three of them stepped into the courtyard, walked through the front hall to the atrium, a tall pine tree was planted in the courtyard, there was a stone table and several stone chairs under the tree.

An elderly body stood under a tree, looking up at the gray sky.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, he turned around, and his eyes fell on Pei Yue's face for the first time.

He is about 70 years old, with an old face and a kind demeanor, wearing a very ordinary cotton robe, no different from a country old man.His eyes were very peaceful, not sharp at all, and he looked at Pei Yue's face carefully.

From his gaze, Pei Yue could see many complicated emotions.

Although Mr. Xi didn't reveal a word along the way, he guessed the real identity of the old man the moment he saw the old man.

Many mysteries suddenly became clear at that moment, but more doubts followed.

He didn't understand how many secrets the people close to him kept from him.

Like Mr. Xi, like silent clouds, like valley beams.

So there was a look of resentment on his face.
