Invincible son

Chapter 725 724 [Shocking]

On the south bank of Qishui, after entering the territory of Yongzhou, there is Pingyuan Town.

There is a dilapidated small temple beside the official road in the south of the town.

Several young people walked into the temple slowly.

"That was a few years ago. I asked Brother Gu Fan to go south to track down the girl Taohua. Unexpectedly, he suddenly ran into Hengduan Mountain. Of course, if he hadn't helped me, I would have fallen into Chen Xizhi's hands that time. Afterwards I Ask him why he appeared so timely, and he said that it was a mysterious and beautiful girl who reported the news, and he met in this small temple."

Pei Yue said with a smile on his face, and the girls beside him smiled knowingly, and then focused their eyes on Ye Qi.

Thinking of the past a few years ago, when he kicked Gu Fan down in this small temple, Ye Qi couldn't help but smile, then took Gu Zhen's hand and hid aside, whispering about his daughter's family.

Taohua blinked and said movedly: "Master..."

Pei Yue quickly raised his hands and said: "You don't come here, I don't know who you learned from, and now you cry every now and then, don't you know that the way you pretend to cry looks like Hesha... Anyway, I won't be fooled by you .”

Tao Hua stared at him blankly, while Ye Qi and Gu Zhen also stopped whispering.

For some reason, Pei Yue suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little tense.

"Who is He Sha?" Ye Qi asked with a half-smile.

Pei Yue coughed twice, and replied calmly: "This Hesha seems to be a character recorded in an ancient book I once read. Generally speaking, his fate is not bad, but in comparison, his experience Been through a lot of ups and downs.”

Seeing that Taohua seemed to be about to cry, he quickly comforted him: "You have suffered a lot with the young master before, so you feel a little similar, but you will definitely not have to suffer in the future."

Taohua said pitifully: "Young Master, don't lie to me."

Pei Yue made a gesture to wipe his sweat, causing some girls to cover their mouths and chuckle. He secretly thought that he should be more careful when speaking later, they have long been accustomed to his style of nonsense, and they are not so easy to fool in front of others.

In fact, the small temple has no viewing value at all. After this episode, everyone looked at it for a while and then walked back.

Several carriages and more than [-] riders were parked on the official road, and the rest of the soldiers from the Beiwei Battalion escorted the large force of the mission ahead.

Back on the carriage, Pei Yue stretched comfortably, then took the pillow that Taohua handed over, and reclined regardless of his image.

Ye Qi snorted softly, turned to Gu Zhen and said, "Sister Zhen'er, you are too spoiled for him. Look, he still doesn't look like a first-class prince now."

Gu Zhen smiled but did not answer, she respected Ye Qi very much, but she would not deliberately keep her low profile, especially when it came to Pei Yue, the daughter of the Marquis Mansion was obviously very assertive.Maybe it's because Xi Shi is in the eyes of lovers. Ever since Yeyue complained to her heart, she felt that Pei Yue was fine, even at this moment he had a calm and easy manner.

Ye Qi looked to the other side, seeing Taohua looking at Pei Yue with shining eyes, he could only sigh helplessly.

These two would definitely not be against Pei Yue, and thinking that there was Lin Shuyue in the capital who was obedient to Pei Yue, Ye Qi suddenly realized that he had become a minority.In fact, she didn't want to deliberately quarrel with Pei Yue, but she just liked the atmosphere of bickering, and she was not used to the way of getting along with each other as guests.But Pei Yue stayed in the western region for more than a year, and he got along with these two for more than a year, and he still couldn't change their views in the end.

There is probably only one person in this world who is like himself and does not look up at Pei Yue like a star in the sky, but when he thinks of that girl's noble face, Ye Qi can't help curling his lips slightly.

At this moment, Pei Yue yawned and said, "It's not that I want to be rude in front of you, it's because I've been physically and mentally exhausted during this period of time. The man in the palace wished he could split me in half and use it. Not to mention Zhou's serious business, he not only requires me to assist the Eastern Prefecture Han to deal with the drought in Qinzhou, but also requires me to inspect the military equipment of the southern frontier army, and there are a lot of other things to be arranged in the capital."

Gu Zhen's eyes were clearly distressed, and Ye Qi quickly asked: "The drought in Qinzhou is so severe, you have spent all the money on Qinyuan and Xiangyun, why don't you rush to Chengjing as soon as possible?"

In fact, not only her, even Gu Zhen felt something was wrong.

After the mission left Beijing, the speed was definitely not fast. Pei Yue even took them around the small temple for a while, which was not like the fast pace he had in the capital before.Of course, Gu Zhen knew that Pei Yue was not the kind of person who indulged herself wantonly. When she heard Ye Qi's question, she couldn't help looking at Pei Yue curiously.

"The situation in Chengjing is very complicated. Judging from the urgent report I received before, the government's Changping warehouse may not last long." Pei Yue said with a serious expression.

After all, Ye Qi was not familiar with the operation of the imperial court, and he became more and more puzzled when he heard the words: "Since this is the case, do you still have the time to accompany us to watch the scenery along the way?"

She is actually the person around Pei Yue who knows the inside story of those things best.When Qi Min returned to Beijing and brought the news that there might be chaos in Qinzhou, Pei Yue ordered Wang Yong to raise food, and even invested all the turnover money of Xiangyun, Ye Qi knew this very well.It was because of understanding that she was puzzled at this moment, unable to understand the reason why Pei Yue acted like this.

Gu Zhen said softly: "Sister Ye, Brother Pei may be saying that Chengjing and even Qinzhou are like a quagmire, he can't fall into it too early, the food prepared by our family must be finalized."

Hearing her say the word "our family" very naturally, Pei Yue grinned, and Ye Qi was slightly moved.

Gu Zhen came to her senses, Xia Fei felt ashamed for a while.

Pei Yue didn't take advantage of the situation to tease, but just suppressed his smile and sighed softly: "Sister Zhen'er is right, I didn't deliberately delay time and become the savior, but I just have to wait for Han Shenzheng to plow Qinzhou's officialdom, with human heads and blood Let those aristocratic families wake up."

He looked up at Ye Qi, and said in a complicated tone: "This is what the man in the palace meant. Actually, I don't want to be so troublesome, but he is afraid that my murderous intentions will be too murderous. If I make a move, I will bleed Qinzhou into a river, and then influence The stability of the five states in the southern border will affect the great cause of defeating Zhou in the next few years. That day in the imperial study, I argued with him for a long time, because I am not a born murderer, but I am just worried that the people of Qinzhou will not be able to persist, but ……Ha ha."

Ye Qi said coldly: "In the eyes of the emperor, it must be more important to calm down the overall situation of the world."

Pei Yue said: "Forget it, as an emperor, he is not bad to the core. I have already sent a letter to Han Zhengzheng, hoping that he can completely suppress the local aristocratic families in Qinzhou within ten days..."

Ye Qi wanted to ask again, but found that Pei Yue closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually became steady and long.

Gu Zhen looked at her in surprise, and asked with her eyes, "Are you asleep?"

Ye Qi nodded.

In the hot summer, Tao Hua moved over carefully and gently helped Pei Yue shake the cattail fan.

Gu Zhen and Ye Qi were relatively speechless, they fell into deep thought at the same time, with distressed expressions in their eyes.

Nine days later, the welcoming mission and a thousand Beiwei battalion soldiers crossed the southern border of Yongzhou and entered the border of Qinzhou.

This place is located in the heart of the mainland, and it was not affected by the tragic war a hundred years ago. In addition, it is now a thoroughfare between the north and the south, and has always been a relatively rich place among the thirteen states of Daliang.

However, since entering Qinzhou, the atmosphere of the mission has become much more gloomy, and even the innocent Taohua is not as excited as it was a few days ago.

The scorching sun shone on the endless plain, and the air enveloped everyone's bodies like fire.

The land is dry and cracked like hungry lips, and the sight is full of endless khaki.

It was supposed to be the season of harvesting summer grain, but it was hard to see laborers on both sides of the official road, because the crops in the fields had dried up and died.

Pei Yue left the gentle and rural carriage and rode on the official road. Looking at what he saw along the road, his face became more and more serious.

The tragic scenes that frightened him are very briefly recorded in later history books, saying: In the sixth year of Liang Kaiping, 62 counties in Qin, Yu, and Dengzhou did not rain from spring to autumn, wells and springs dried up, and there was great hunger.
