Invincible son

Chapter 724 723 [Going South]

A few days later, Guangping Marquis Mansion.

Mrs. Zhao looked at Pei Yue with a smile, and asked kindly: "Brother Yue, don't think it's troublesome for your aunt to make you carry so many extra things. It's just that your two elder brothers haven't been back to the capital for a long time, so they must be familiar with each other. I miss you so much, I have to let you work harder."

Pei Yue smiled and said, "Why did Auntie say that? I didn't go south alone this time. Apart from the mission, there were a thousand soldiers accompanying me, and there were countless horses and chariots. Even if you bring dozens of boxes of special products, there will be no problem. Anyway, I don’t need to carry it myself.”

Mrs. Zhao covered her mouth and said, "What a good boy, much better than your Uncle Gu. When he went to the south in previous years, I wanted him to bring some food for Jie'er and Cang'er, but he refused every time. , only said that the journey is too far away to be inconvenient to carry, as if he was traveling alone.”

It was difficult for Pei Yue to answer these words, after all, Gu Liang was beside him.

The things Mrs. Zhao asked him to bring were very ordinary, but they were all special products from Kyoto that she personally selected, and made a special trip to give them to two uncles who had never met in the far south.

Gu Liang said lightly: "Okay, brother Yue has been so busy these days, don't drag him around to talk about family affairs."

Pei Yue hurriedly said: "Uncle, let Auntie talk more, I like to hear it."

Mrs. Zhao was surprised when she heard the words, and then she understood, she looked at Pei Yue with more kindness, but Gu Zhen, who was sitting quietly next to her, felt a little pity in her heart.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Zhao urged: "Brother Yue, your sister Zhen'er has never left the capital since she was a child, and she has a weak temper. You have to be more patient during this trip."

Pei Yue looked at Gu Zhen, who had a calm face and shyness in his eyes, and replied seriously: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will always be by Sister Zhen'er's side. After I arrive in Dingzhou, I will personally send her to the two elder brothers." In front of you. I'll pick up Sister Zhen'er when Nan Zhou's affairs are settled."

"It's so good." Zhao's expression was full of reluctance. After all, Gu Liang and her four sons were used to wandering outside, but Gu Zhen stayed by her side for so many years, and the mother and daughter had a very deep relationship.If Pei Yue hadn't brought it up this time, Gu Liang hadn't objected, and Gu Zhen herself had nodded, she wouldn't let Gu Zhen leave no matter what.

Gu Zhen said softly: "Mother, I just went south to visit my two elder brothers this time, please don't worry."

Mrs. Zhao smiled, and then glanced at Pei Yue indiscriminately, thinking that you are the meat that fell from my body, don't you know what's on your mind?
But this is a good thing after all, Pei Yue can put Gu Zhen on top of her heart, she is naturally overjoyed, and through Gu Liang, she knows that Pei Yue is very disciplined in some aspects, so she hides those worries in her heart, and said kindly: "You Yue My brother is protecting you, so my mother can't rest assured."

Gu Liang said: "Ma'am, you can help Zhen'er check and fill in the gaps to see if there is anything missing, I have something to talk to Yue Ge'er."

Zhao got up and said, "Understood, master."

After a while, Gu Liang and Pei Yue came to the side hall, and after taking their seats, he asked calmly, "Have you made all the arrangements?"

Pei Yue cleared his throat, and said slowly: "The operation of Xiangyun is on the right track. I don't need to worry too much here. Wang Yong is now enough to take care of himself. The grain stored in each branch in Kyoto has been transported to Qin through secret channels. State, after the purchase of grain in Qinzhou and Lizhou is completed, I will transport it to Qinzhou according to the opportunity, and assist Han in politics to solve the problems there."

Gu Liang nodded slightly, and asked again: "Where's Qinyuan?"

Pei Yue pondered and said: "Chengjing Qinyuan is just a cover. The people I sent there are mainly to prepare in advance, and the last time I want to find out the situation in Qinzhou. As for the Jingdu Qinyuan, Qi Min and others It is enough to deal with daily situations, and I will leave two hundred soldiers in the garden, unless the palace wants to do something, otherwise there will be no danger."

Gu Liang said gently: "That's fine, who is left in the mansion?"

This question was a bit sharp, and Pei Yue said cautiously: "There is Shuyue in the mansion, and Ye Qi and Taohua will go south with me. In fact, I don't worry about the mansion. Although Shuyue has a rough life, it is this experience that made her Being able to not panic when things happen, plus having my uncle to help take care of me..."

Gu Liang smiled slightly, and didn't care about him bringing his family members south, and said calmly: "You have arranged it properly, and I will naturally take care of it for you. However, what I want to tell you is that this trip to the south to welcome relatives will not be easy, you It cannot be taken lightly."

For some reason, Pei Yue suddenly remembered that Miss Xu who suffered a bad loss in Qinyuan. He knew that the other party must have a fire in his heart, but he didn't care too much.Hearing Gu Liang's reminder at this moment, he suddenly came back to his senses and said hesitantly: "Uncle, Nan Zhou probably doesn't want to take the initiative to provoke disputes."

He went south this time as an envoy to welcome his relatives and represented the face of the Daliang court. If Zhou people did anything to him, the consequences would undoubtedly be extremely serious.

As for the other methods of provocation, Pei Yue thought about it and found no way to parry it.

Just adding the status of a warrior is enough to save him a lot of trouble.

Gu Liang said solemnly: "The reason why the Southern Zhou court is in a weak position is because they are not monolithic internally, and the differences and divisions are quite serious. This is the fundamental reason why they have to bow their heads. After all, no matter whether it is national strength or military equipment, the Southern Zhou Dynasty cannot It’s on par with Daliang. But because of this, you have to be extra careful.”

Pei Yue was startled, and then suddenly said: "Uncle said, I will become a pawn in the hands of some people in the south?"

Gu Liang smiled lightly and shook his head, "It's not that serious. There are very few people in this world who are qualified to use you as a pawn, but there are definitely a lot of people who want to use you. After entering the Southern Zhou Kingdom, you can't lose the leader You can't blindly fall into other people's traps in spite of your majesty, you need to carefully grasp the proportions."

Pei Yue nodded in response, and then asked curiously: "Uncle, what is the relationship between Fang Xiexiao and Xian Chunqiu?"

Thirty years ago, Xian Chunqiu, who was still very young, defected to the Southern Zhou Dynasty because of the murder in the Chu State Mansion, and was not reused at first.However, in the successive defensive battles against Wang Pingzhang and Gu Liang, this person gradually showed his military ability, and the former emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty found out the truth about his defection, which gradually increased his power.

To this day, Xian Chunqiu, who is the Marquis of Rejecting the North, is one of the few people in the Southern Zhou army who can equal the status of Xie Xiao, the Duke of Zhenguo.

Gu Liang was silent for a moment, and said in a complicated tone: "The relationship between the two is complicated and confusing. Not only I can't see through it, but Mo Moyun also can't figure it out. Brother Yue, although Fang Xiexiao is powerful, but you are against him. You just need to be on your guard. But Xian Chunqiu is different. His past seems to be shrouded in suspicion. Don't believe anything he says."

At the end, Gu Liang's expression became extremely serious.

Pei Yue couldn't help but think of the sons of the Xian family who were involved in King Yan's treason case, the tyrannical assassin on Yulong Street, and Ning Ning, who had traveled thousands of miles to report the news in advance.

He still can't figure out the suspicious points in that series of events. After hearing Gu Liang's words, Pei Yue nodded seriously and said, "Uncle, I know what to do."

Gu Liang said again: "You have thousands of cavalry guards on this trip. There will definitely be no danger on the road. The only thing you need to pay attention to is what may happen after entering the Southern Zhou Dynasty. After all, the cavalry of the Zangfengwei cannot cross the Tiancang River. I have already sent people Send a message to the camps in the south, and if something really happens, they will rescue you in the shortest possible time."

Feeling moved, Pei Yue got up and saluted, "Thank you uncle for taking care of me."

Gu Liang waved his hand, said with a light smile: "There is no need to do that, if something really happens to you, Zhen'er won't have to blame me for the rest of her life?"

Pei Yue chuckled.

Gu Liang got up, and said with deep eyes: "Remember your own identity, remember that many people are waiting for you to return safely, remember... Your Majesty will always have a look on you."

"Yes." Pei Yue agreed.

……

Kaiping six years, July [-]th.

Pei Yue led more than a hundred members of the Daliang Mission, several spacious and comfortable carriages, and more than two hundred entourages. Under the escort of a thousand elite battalion, he bid farewell to Kyoto and went south leisurely.
