Invincible son

Although Xu Churong didn't want to admit it, the aura Pei Yue showed at this time made her secretly startled.

After all, he is a hero who fights with a sword and a gun on the battlefield to become a first-class lord, which is far from being comparable to those dudes in Jian'an City who walk horses, fight dogs and boil eagles.She thought of the poem written by Pei Yue at the Wenhui banquet yesterday, it can be described as Shen Xiong's tragic, heartfelt, and heartfelt, especially the last sentence "poorly happened" with a deep meaning, which is more and more evocative.

Although Xu Churong had never seen the horrors of war, he had a sense of majesty and chill through Pei Yue's poem.

Looking at Pei Yue's handsome face, she forced a smile and said, "Even if His Majesty sends troops to escort you to the Tiancang River, Fang Yunhu's brothers and even the military generals from Pingjiang will definitely try to take revenge."

Pei Yue said calmly: "I can fight against Fang Yunhu, so naturally I won't be afraid of his brothers. However, I am different from your guess. The Duke of Zhenguo in your country will definitely try his best to restrain those people, and I will definitely return to Daliang safe and sound. .”

"Perhaps so. By the way, does the poem you wrote yesterday have a title?"

"Broken for a while."

"Good topic, but it sounds familiar."

"The best-selling spirit in Qinyuan is called Pozhenzi. A rough person like me likes it very much, but it probably doesn't suit your taste."

Xu Churong turned his head to look outside the door, and said flatly, "I've only drank fruit wine."

Pei Yue smiled and said, "Fruit wine is very suitable for you."

Xu Churong frowned slightly, and suddenly changed the subject: "Actually, there is something I can't understand, and I really want to ask your opinion."

Pei Yue said indifferently: "Excuse me."

Xu Churong showed a slightly dazed look, his eyes were slightly out of focus at this moment, revealing a somewhat ignorant temperament invisibly.

After hesitating for a while, she said in a bleak tone: "The so-called marriage with relatives is just a way to slow down the army. Whether I am facing you or you, or even your emperor, I should think so in my heart. You are using the discussion outside the Sifang Pavilion to cheat. You want to take this opportunity to stir up internal strife in our court. You talked so eloquently at yesterday's banquet, presumably it is to further intensify the internal conflicts in my court."

Pei Yue's expression gradually became serious.

Xu Churong didn't realize it, and continued: "As for the assassination last night, although I don't know the specific details, Fang Yunhu is not an arrogant and ignorant fool, how could he be easily killed by you? Looking at your whole body, only your left hand was injured. The slight injury shows that you have seen through Fang Yunhu's strategy long ago. You deliberately killed Fang Yunhu, completely angered the Pingjiang Fang family, and only found a well-known excuse for declaring war in the future, right?"

Of course Pei Yue could directly deny the other party's conjecture, but he didn't do that. He just said with complicated eyes: "I don't know how to evaluate you. Sometimes you are as naive as a simple-minded girl, and sometimes you can make me feel so innocent." My eyes lit up."

Xu Churong shook his head and said, "It's not important, I just don't understand."

Pei Yue asked, "What don't you understand?"

A look of sadness appeared on Xu Churong's smooth and fair face, and he said softly: "Why do you want to do this? Why do you have to fight?"

Pei Yue didn't answer.

Xu Churong said seriously: "Actually, you can stop the war between the two countries, right?"...

Pei Yue shook his head, got up and said: "Miss Xu, I still suggest that the style that suits you best is a lady with a clear breeze and a bright moon. If you don't mind, I'll have some breakfast here. It won't be long, your country Your Majesty will send troops here to escort me back to Jian'an City."

Xu Churong looked at his back as he walked out, and sighed imperceptibly.

……

Pei Yue's guess was accurate, when he and Xu Churong were having breakfast relatively silently, Shangguan Ding arrived with a young general.

Seeing Xu Shoufu's favorite jewel here, Shangguan Ding's expression was slightly weird, but he quickly recovered his calm, deliberately ignoring the existence of Xu Churong, and introduced the young general to Pei Yue.

This man's name is Zhuo Fan, and he is a partial general in the Wude Battalion defending Jian'an City. Under the order of Jinwu General Xia Fei, he led a thousand soldiers to escort Pei Yue back to Jian'an.

Half an hour later, Shangguan Ding personally sent Pei Yue outside the mountain gate. He was not able to return to Beijing for the time being, because the Donglin Wenhui entered the formal process from today, and he, the Minister of Rites, still needed to stay to preside over the overall situation.

Watching a thousand elite soldiers escort Pei Yueyuan away, Shangguan Ding couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Although he was tired after not sleeping all night, compared to being able to send away Pei Yue, the god of plague, he only felt that the boulder on his heart disappeared, and his whole body was extremely relaxed.

The distance from Donglin to Jian'an City was about [-] li. Because the Wude camp was all infantry, the speed of the entire team was not fast.Just after walking two or three miles, Pei Yue heard a rush of horseshoes from behind, turned his head and saw the thin figure, and couldn't help sighing heavily.

Feng Yi and a few soldiers next to him were struggling so hard that they couldn't laugh out loud.

After the man rode close to him, Pei Yue said with a sad face, "Miss Xu, why are you following me again?"

Xu Churong said calmly: "Don't forget, I said that you should not be put in danger. With me by your side, no one should jump over the wall in a hurry."

There is strong self-confidence in this sentence, and the fact is also true. There are many people in the Southern Zhou Dynasty who want to kill Pei Yue. The death of a Fang Yunhu does not mean absolute safety, but there are indeed few people who dare to completely offend Qinghe Xu.If Xu Churong was harmed because of the assassination of Pei Yue, the mastermind behind the scenes would inevitably usher in counterattacks from Xu Huiyan and even dozens of wealthy families. Even the Pingjiang Fang family could not bear such revenge.

Because of this, Xu Churong was able to calmly pass through the defense of Wudeying soldiers, and came to Pei Yue's side like a lingering ghost.

Pei Yue didn't even know whether he should be moved or disgusted, so he could only say helplessly in the end: "Miss Xu, I appreciate your kindness, but you are with me all day, aren't you afraid of attracting the world's comments?"

Xu Churong blinked, and asked curiously, "Why should I care what others say?"

Pei Yue was silenced by her words, and after a while he nodded and said: "It makes sense."

Xu Churong rode forward side by side with him, and asked persistently, "You haven't answered my question yet."

"what is the problem?"

"You don't have to do that. Isn't it good for the two countries to live in peace? Marquis Pei, you have experienced a lot of experience in the battlefield. You should know that if a war breaks out, countless lives will be lost. They don't need to die, they can live in peace Alive. Although it is said that making meritorious deeds is something men yearn for, but you are now a first-class prince, and at such a young age, you are not afraid of making great achievements in the future? You are right, I am not suitable for these things, but now I am finally I figured it out."...

Pei Yue turned to look at her, and asked curiously, "Have you figured it out?"

Xu Churong nodded and said, "Yes, I want to be friends with you, not unequal enemies."

Looking at her clear and flawless eyes, Pei Yue understood the deep meaning hidden in this sentence, which had nothing to do with the personal relationship between the children, but only about each other's views on the important affairs of the family and the country.

He turned his head and looked at the straight road in front of him, and said calmly: "Miss Xu, I'm sorry, I can't promise you."

Xu Churong's eyes darkened, but he didn't continue to pester her.

She lowered her head slightly, not knowing what to think.

After a long time, she said softly, "Don't get me wrong."

Pei Yue replied, "I understand."

They did not chat any more during the journey thereafter, and the early autumn wind blew past their hearts without any ripples.

After arriving in Jian'an City, General Zhuo Fan of the Wude Camp led his soldiers back to the station outside the city. Pei Yue and Xu Churong rode horses into the city side by side, followed by Xu's guards and Pei Yue's personal soldiers.

The inside and outside of the city are like two worlds, and the hustle and bustle is coming.

Although the high-ranking officials and nobles in Jian'an City must rush forward and back when they travel, and it is common for hundreds of guards to accompany them, but the old and young men in the capital are very discerning, so they can naturally see that the guards around this young couple are extraordinary. People dare to block in their direction of travel.

The distance from West City to South City is not too far, but when the group arrived at the extremely bustling Taiping Street, halfway through the journey, there was a traffic jam in front of them.

Pei Yue looked at the crowd blocking his way dozens of steps away, and the corner of his mouth curled up in an indifferent arc.
