Invincible son

Jian'an City is so prosperous that many times even the city defense battalion can't figure out how many people with strange identities are hidden in this majestic and majestic city.

They have not relaxed their pursuit of the crows in Taishitai Pavilion in Beiliang. Most of these people are divided into two identities. One is spies on the surface, such as merchants. Qibao Pavilion, which has not yet collapsed, bears similar responsibilities.The other is the spies whose identities are completely forged. They have complete identity certificates and are extremely difficult to distinguish.

Not to mention that in this era, even in Pei Yue's previous life, it was still impossible to completely eradicate spies.

There is a civilian area in the east of the city, which has always been mixed with fish and dragons, and countless criminals hide in it. Even the local government servants have to be careful when they come here, so as not to be cut off without knowing it.Of course, the spies who choose to hide here have a hard time extending their tentacles far, because they lack a convincing identity.

It's just that for those spies on temporary missions, this is obviously an excellent hiding place.

In a cramped and poor courtyard, three men lived in one after another. This is an extremely common phenomenon here, and there is no exception at all.

One of the men looked like an old farmer who had been working in the fields all year round. If he hadn't held the long sword even when he was sleeping, his companions might have thought he was a poor man who had lost his way here.

The lunch was a bit crude, and the three of them chose to meditate in the house after eating.

It was very noisy outside the courtyard. Middle-aged men and women were arguing, children were crying, and some blue-skinned rascals were chatting and laughing as they passed by.The three of them have lived here for a few days, and they are already used to this kind of fireworks in the world, so they are completely unaffected.

Half an hour later, the man in his thirties on the wooden bed to the east let out a sigh of relief, got up and moved his limbs, looked at the old farmer who was holding a long sword and looked out the door, and said, "Lao Jiang, why do I think you have something on your mind? "

Lao Jiang didn't look at him, and said calmly, "You can read minds?"

The man yawned, sat down on a stool and said, "I know what you're thinking, actually I also think Hou Ye is a good man, but don't forget our identities. Since we chose this road to replace those people If you work hard, your hands are stained with blood that can't be washed off, so why should you be burdened?"

The other person in the room was a man in his fifties with a wrinkled face. He nodded and said, "That's right, although we have made a name for ourselves in the Jianghu, we are actually just controlling the power in the grass for others. Hero Whether it’s good or evil, to put it bluntly, we’re just knives in the hands of those people.”

Lao Jiang looked around and said blankly, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

The young man sighed: "Old Jiang, when the higher-ups ordered us to enter the guard team of the Xiangyun under the name of recluse, you should have known that such a day would come."

The old man over there also persuaded: "The three of us have been advancing and retreating together. No matter what you think, at least it can be regarded as a lifelong friendship. I know you don't want to be ordered to assassinate Lord Hou this time, but you should think about it carefully." , if we make a mistake here, the whole family will die, have you considered the consequences?"...

Lao Jiang remained silent, still holding the long sword tightly.

The young man hesitated for a moment, then said slowly: "Lao Jiang, I know you are worried about the women and children on Shouyang Mountain, but don't forget, our real roots are in the hands of those people."

After a while, Lao Jiang asked calmly: "Xiao Dian, let me ask you, who is the man who looked for you that day?"

The young man showed hesitation, but under Lao Jiang's stern gaze, he could only say softly: "I only know his surname is Lan."

Lao Jiang nodded slightly, and asked after a while, "When will we do it?"

The young man showed joy, and quickly replied: "In three days, Donglin Wenhui will be held."

Lao Jiang didn't show any intention of objecting, but a scene suddenly appeared in his mind.

Qinzhou, Zhangdefu, Haiyang County, those people who are full of joy after buying food.

He couldn't help clenching the long sword in his arms more and more.

……

Pei Yue had heard about the prosperity of Jian'an City for a long time, and when he set foot on the ritual path in the imperial city, he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.

The Daliang Palace was repaired and expanded on the basis of the former Wei palace. The three main halls of the former dynasty plus the harem palace complex were already majestic enough, but the splendor of the Southern Zhou imperial city still surprised him.

Emperor Qingyuan chose to meet the envoy of the Northern Liang Dynasty in the side hall of the Daqing Hall. The only Southern Zhou official present was Xu Huiyan, the chief assistant.

Pei Yue came to the Imperial Palace at a leisurely pace, bowed and saluted and said, "Foreign Minister Pei Yue, please refer to His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty."

Emperor Qing Yuan said peacefully: "Emissary Pei Zheng is exempt."

The light in the hall was bright enough for him to see the young man's face clearly.Slightly different from what he imagined, Pei Yue is more like a handsome young talent than a warrior galloping on the battlefield, especially his slightly pale face after being injured, which makes him a little more restrained and handsome temperament.

Emperor Qing Yuan said gently: "Emissary Pei Zheng traveled a long distance, and after arriving in Jian'an, he was plotted against by villains, so I didn't summon you immediately to avoid aggravating your injury. Now it seems that the injury is still not healed. Do you want to let my brother?" Can the imperial doctor give you another diagnosis and treatment?"

Pei Yue bowed his head and said: "Thank you for your care, Your Majesty, the foreign minister is fine, and he will recover after a few days of rest."

Although his expression was very respectful when he spoke, the rulers and ministers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty could hear the alienation in his words.

Emperor Qing Yuan nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely punish the murderer severely and give you justice."

Pei Yue was grateful on the surface, but he naturally didn't take these scenes seriously in his heart.

Xu Huiyan asked, "Pei Zhengshi, I heard that you are going to participate in the Donglin Cultural Association three days later?"

Pei Yue turned to look at him, and said with a smile: "Master Shoufu, I thought you should know this matter better than me."

Xu Huiyan didn't change his face, and said calmly: "The little girl's eccentricity made Pei Zheng laugh. If you don't want to, I will arrange it properly."

Pei Yue said calmly: "Thank you, sir, for your concern, but even if Ling Ai doesn't mention it, I plan to have the brazenness to participate. Your country is prosperous in culture, and the Donglin Literature Fair is a grand event in the literary world. Although I am a rough person, I don't want to miss it." Such a grand event."

Emperor Qing Yuan met Xu Huiyan's eyes, then changed the subject and continued to care about Pei Yue's injury.

After chatting for about a stick of incense, the summoning ended without any ups and downs.

Xu Huiyan personally sent Pei Yue outside the imperial city with a very accommodating attitude.

Pei Yue was smiling, but after boarding the carriage, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace.

"The purpose of summoning me here is just to confirm in person whether I will go to Donglin Wenhui?"

Pei Yue sat alone in the carriage, frowning tightly.

He faintly felt that the Emperor of Southern Zhou seemed to be reminding himself that, after all, apart from Wen Hui, the other party was always concerned about his injuries.After several years of tempering by Emperor Kaiping, he has already had a very clear judgment on the emperor, and he knows that every word and deed of the emperor must have deep meaning.

But it was this deep meaning that made him unable to understand.

Pei Yue wasn't sure if Xu Churong's invitation was malicious, but he knew that after he agreed, there would inevitably be many unknown risks in the essay meeting.

What does this couple want to do?
