Invincible son

Chapter 855 854

Even though Chen Que was unparalleled in eloquence, there was no room for him to show his talents in front of Pei Yue.

The status and strength of the two sides are completely unequal, not to mention that Daliang has hoarded more than [-] soldiers on the south bank, and they may continue to go south at any time, and the coercion is like a sharp knife.

According to the speculation of the courtiers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Dynasty had experienced a series of major events in the past two years, and the treasury must have been empty.Although this is only a temporary state, it is enough for someone with a heart to take advantage of this heaven-sent opportunity to stir up trouble.

Therefore, Fang Xie Xiaocai made up his mind to seize this critical moment to raid Jiangling, and after the defeat, Emperor Qingyuan still had the confidence to seek peace, because they were sure that the Northern Dynasty needed to recuperate.

However, no one expected that Pei Yue would be able to win big victories one after another with tens of thousands of troops. Under such a premise, it seems that it is not impossible for Pei Yue to further expand the results of the battle and even capture the city by relying on the reserve of the southern frontier army.

In short, this young dignitary has completely changed the situation on the border through his own ability, and it is obvious that he has the confidence and determination to put all his eggs in one basket.

Faced with Pei Yue's tough attitude, Chen knew that verbal resistance would be useless, so he had no choice but to pick up the letter of credence and return to Jian'an in desperation.

After repelling Chen Que, Pei Yue issued a commander's order to let Jiangling and Hanyang each send [-] elite soldiers southward, threatening many important towns on the border of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Baodingbo Cai Qian could roughly judge Pei Yue's thoughts, and it should be to continue to put pressure on the Southern Zhou Dynasty through such a gesture, and he did not even rule out the possibility of sending troops to attack border towns.Although Emperor Kaiping did not appoint the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, but only gave Pei Yue the right to temporarily decide the situation of the battle, no one felt that Pei Yue's move was suspected of overstepping.

Even Cai Qian himself took it for granted, because Pei Yue conquered everyone through his previous performance.

As the true confidant of Emperor Kaiping, Cai Qian couldn't help but want to ask for advice, but he couldn't see Pei Yue either.Hearing that this Marquis of Zhongshan was lingering in the back house, he couldn't help but think of the heroic Ye Qi in red clothes and the jewel in the palm of the Qinghe Xu family, and he sighed while smiling.

In fact, Pei Yue was not as relaxed and relaxed as he imagined.

In the study, Pei Yue sat alone in front of the window, with a simple topographic map of the South Bank on the table.

He wrote and drew on the paper, looking a little dignified.

A fresh scent came from the side, Pei Yue turned his head to look, and saw Ye Qi approaching, looking at the handwriting like ghostly symbols on the paper, pursing his lips and chuckling: "Those people may never think that every time you The layout seems to be a temporary idea, but in fact it has been planned in secret for a long time. From the western region to the southern country, the world only marvels at your achievements, but they don't know how much effort you put in for it."

Pei Yue put down the things he couldn't finish, turned around and said with a smile: "Why do you suddenly praise me?"

Ye Qi sat down not far away, and blinked his bright eyes: "Because I never thought that one day I would hear other people's admiration for you with my own ears."

Pei Yue carefully observed Ye Qi's demeanor, and saw that she was smiling and showed no signs of anger. He immediately felt relieved and said calmly: "I have no personal relationship with that Miss Xu. When the peace talks start later, we will People will send her back to the Southern Dynasty."

Ye Qi asked with interest: "Do you think Xu Churong is not good enough?"

If someone else asked such a question, it would naturally sound like a test, but Pei Yue knew Ye Qi's temperament.When we first met, she was so open-minded. After experiencing so much wind and rain, how could she be so fussy like a little girl?
Looking at those clear eyes, Pei Yue said slowly: "She was born in the Xu family of Qinghe, this family background alone can surpass too many people, plus her appearance and character are very good, even if there are some arrogant Temper is also harmless. It's just that I really don't have that kind of thought about her, and it has nothing to do with whether she is good or not."

Ye Qi smiled and said, "Actually, I think you can accept her."

The study suddenly fell silent, only the sound of the leaves being blown by the autumn wind outside the window.

Pei Yue looked at Ye Qi incredulously, and said for a long time, "What did you say?"

Ye Qirou said: "Bringing her back to the capital, sister Zhen'er should not object."

The two had already connected with each other, Pei Yue of course understood that Ye Qi was not trying to test, let alone talking ironically, but was seriously considering the feasibility of this matter.

Ye Qi continued: "I don't believe that Xu Huiyan is so ruthless and cold-blooded that he can easily abandon his own daughter. Your previous thoughts should be closer to the truth. He is leaving a way out for the Qinghe Xu family, and I am sure that you will not hurt Xu Churong. From ancient times to the present, marriage has always been the only way to make a relationship, and the reason why Xu Churong appeared by your side is more like throwing stones from some aristocratic families in the Southern Dynasty to ask for directions."

Pei Yue sighed softly: "So Princess Qinghe's marriage is fake, and Xu Churong's arrival is real? The emperor of the Southern Dynasty used the marriage to plot against Jiangling City, but Xu Huiyan, that old fox, plotted against everyone and laid out his plot in the name of the court. "

Ye Qi nodded slightly and said: "If you keep Xu Churong by your side, you can give those people a reassurance."

Pei Yue stared at her face and said with emotion: "Ye Qi, you are too..."

"Is it virtuous?" Ye Qi smiled, and said calmly: "If Xu Churong has no intentions for you, I won't do anything. It's just that I have confirmed her feelings for you these few days. The little girl looks so pitiful, plus This matter is indeed of great benefit to you, so why not let her stay? For the Zhongshan Hou Mansion, it is nothing more than an extra pair of chopsticks, so what does it matter to me?"

Pei Yue was shocked by her domineering words and was speechless for a long time.

He couldn't help but think of the words Ye Qi said back then in the northern suburbs of Kyoto: "As long as I'm here, they can only be young."

How lucky is he to meet such a strange woman?

However, he could still remain calm, so he said slowly, "Let me think about this matter again."

Ye Qi glanced at the draft on the table, and said softly: "I will never interfere with your decision, but I think you should make plans for the future. Xu Churong's resignation not only represents her personally, but also concerns your feelings towards Nan Chao. Influence, when the situation changes in the future, this may be a way out."

Pei Yue was slightly taken aback, and then said softly: "So you know all about it."

Ye Qi shook his head and said: "I don't know what you are worried about, but I know that you are far from being as relaxed as you seem on the surface recently. The war has been won, and the Southern Dynasty has no chance of reversal. Is there something wrong with the capital?"

Pei Yue said: "More than ten days ago, I sent the report to the capital with a fast horse of [-] miles. If there were no accidents, His Majesty's order should have been delivered long ago. Whether it is war or peace, he must give me a righteous name , even if it is a temporary official position, it is better than the current name that is not justified."

Ye Qi was no stranger to the court situation, so he quickly realized, frowned and said, "The emperor has become wary of you?"

Pei Yue pondered and said: "It is reasonable to say that it is not possible, but there has been no response from the capital, which is not like His Majesty's style. Although it is normal for Asuka to make a good bow, there is no need for him to be so urgent."

Ye Qi thought about it, and said seriously: "In this case, you should keep Xu Churong."

Pei Yue didn't try to be hypocritical, and after thinking for a while, he said, "That's fine."
