Invincible son

Chapter 485 484 [Quiet the storm]

Nian Conglun was not willing to fail like this, but Pei Yue obviously wouldn't give him a chance to continue instigating.

"You know, as you said, His Majesty just asked me to return to the capital as soon as possible, and asked me about the details of Ning Zhong's death, right?"

Pei Yuezhong was full of energy and his voice was so loud that everyone in the audience could hear him clearly.

Nian Conglun's face was gloomy, and others could feel a trace of murderous aura belonging to a martial artist from this eunuch, but under the watchful eyes of Pei Yue, Tang Youzhi and others, he could only nod his head and said: "Yes."

Pei Yue said neither humble nor overbearing: "I know that traveling is hard all the way, please allow me a day to deal with a few things, and I will set off early in the morning."

Nian Conglun knew that the young man in front of him had completely grasped the situation, and no matter how tit-for-tat he was, it would only be a laughing stock, so he snorted coldly and left the place with the palace guards.

Pei Yue took a deep look at his back, then turned to Tang Youzhi and said, "Master Hou, please forgive me for being impolite, I can't continue to attend the celebration banquet, which spoiled everyone's interest. I will definitely find a chance to invite you to host me next time."

Tang Youzhi said firmly, "Since His Majesty has an order, you should return to Beijing as soon as possible. Don't worry, I'm here for everything."

This sentence was obviously referring to Zang Fengwei. Although Pei Yue himself had already made arrangements, he would not reject the kindness of his allies, and said with a smile: "Then I will trouble Lord Hou."

Dingjun Bo Luo Huanzhang stepped forward and put his arms around Pei Yue's shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yue, if something goes wrong after returning to the capital, bear with it for now, and when Lao Tang and I return to the capital, I will naturally support you. It is your credit." No one can take it away."

Pei Yue smiled gratefully, and asked curiously: "Uncle, just now that young man only mentioned Lord Tang Hou, don't you want to continue guarding the Jinshui Camp?"

Luo Huanzhang said meaningfully: "It is our practice in Daliang that all the commanders who have made military achievements will move. You should understand the reason. The reason why I have to stay in Jinshui camp for the time being is nothing more than the big names in the court. The winner has not yet been decided, and no one has been decided to replace me."

Pei Yue nodded, suddenly remembered someone, and couldn't help saying in a low voice: "Then Xiangchenghou..."

Luo Huanzhang smiled and said: "Xiao Jin is not a simple person. He doesn't seem to exist in any faction, and he doesn't have the trust of His Majesty like Wei Guogong, but he can sit firmly in the position of restraint in the Hucheng camp. If If you have conflicts with him in the future, don’t take the initiative to attack, you need to figure out his methods before dealing with it.”

Pei Yue was slightly startled. It turned out that the rough-tempered veteran beside him also had such a meticulous side, and said seriously, "Thank you uncle for your reminder."

"It's just a few words of nonsense, it's nothing." Luo Huanzhang patted him on the shoulder again, and walked to the side.

Pei Yue put this matter to the bottom of his heart for the time being, looked up at the civil and military officials who were still emotional beside him, and said loudly: "Brothers, you have acted out of righteousness tonight, this kindness will be remembered by Pei Yue. However, I have a few words I want to say something in my heart, and please don’t mind.”

"My lord, please tell me!" Gao Linfen shouted in the crowd.

Pei Yue looked sincere, and said slowly: "Your Majesty asked me to return to Beijing as soon as possible because I had previously killed Wuwei Hou Ningzhong in Guping Camp. Why did I kill him? I believe you all understand the whole story, but Your Majesty is not very clear about it." Clearly, the ministers in the court also don't know. In their view, I am just a small viscount. It is really shocking to dare to kill a third-class prince. But your majesty trusts me very much, otherwise it would not be let me If you go back with your own soldiers, you will have arrested and escorted me long ago."

Listening to his eloquence, and what he said was reasonable, everyone's emotions gradually calmed down.

Pei Yue laughed again: "Actually, His Majesty still thinks highly of me, otherwise he wouldn't let me be the Commander of the Tibetan Front Guard, but because of Ning Zhong's death, it's not easy for him to reward me before he clarifies it." I respect Lord Tang Hou very much. If it weren't for his trust and attention to me in the Northern Front War, there would be no great victory. As for the military merits, whether it is my credit or the credit of your elder brothers and seniors, the court will definitely give a A fair reward, please stay calm and take care of the finishing touches after the war."

These words made Tang Youzhi's eyes full of admiration, and also convinced other civil and military officials.

The turmoil finally subsided, Pei Yue clasped his fists and said: "Because I disturbed everyone's interest, I will definitely find a chance to make amends next time. Everyone, I will return to Beijing in the future, and I have some things to deal with, so I can't accompany you to the banquet anymore , please forgive me for being rude.”

After finishing speaking, he bowed and bowed to everyone.

Tang Youzhi said with emotion: "It's okay, see you in Kyoto in the future."

Luo Huanzhang smiled and said, "The day we meet again is not far away."

Others also bid farewell to Pei Yue one after another, and their words were quite reluctant, especially those generals who had fought side by side with him on the battlefield.

Pei Yue talked briefly with everyone, and finally looked at Xue Tao with a strange expression, and smiled: "Xue Fangbo, I have been in Lingzhou for half a year. Many things are thanks to your support. I believe we will meet again."

Xue Tao smiled unnaturally, and said, "I'll have someone prepare some Lingzhou recipes and send them to the imperial envoy Xingyuan tomorrow."

Pei Yue cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

On the top floor of Chaofeng Building, Xie Xinci stared down obsessively. Jin Shu walked up to her and said worriedly: "Xinci, go in, be careful not to catch the cold outside."

Xie Xinci raised his hand to wipe his cheek, and said warmly, "Okay."

Only then did Jinshu realize that she was crying, and he couldn't help but said in shock, "What's wrong?"

Xie Xinci glanced down again, shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Jin Shu looked at her flushed eyes, and sighed softly, "Xin Ci, that Lord Pei is not something we can cling to, so don't get caught up in it."

Xie Xinci did not deny or argue. She took Jinshu's arm and said sadly, "Do you know where sister Zhenshu is?"

Li Zhenshu, the chief scholar of Jinsuyuan, disappeared suddenly. Others thought she was retiring like Duan Yuzhu, the chief dancer, but Xie Xinci and Jin Shu had always been in close contact with her, and they had nothing to do with her disappearance. It was secretly controlled by Xue Tao, so I couldn't help being very worried.

Jin Shu shook his head, and returned to the hall with Xie Xinci.

Downstairs towards the wind, Pei Yue saluted everyone again, then turned around and strode away.

Wei Rui and others hurriedly followed, and Qin Xian and Xue Meng also left Qiujiang Tower after pleading guilty to Tang Youzhi.

Standing in the crowd, Tang Linfen hesitated for a moment. He knew the agreement between his uncle and Pei Yue, but the official procedures had not yet been completed. Right now he is not a general of Zangfengwei, nor is he like Qin Xian He has a brotherly relationship with Pei Yue, so it seems a little inappropriate to follow up rashly.

At this moment, seeing Tang Youzhi's stern eyes, he immediately came to his senses and left this place resolutely.

Right now Pei Yue's situation is a bit delicate, how long would it be if he didn't express his intention at this time?
