Invincible son

Chapter 863 862 [I am willing]

Even though he hadn't slept all night, Pei Yue was still full of energy, and there was no sign of sleepiness on his face.

Back then, he once said to Ye Qi at the bank of Qishui: "Fighting against the sky, the earth, and the people is a lot of fun."

Now he has finally taken the first step, trying to challenge the world's imperial etiquette. The plan is bigger than all previous plans, and the details can even be written in several volumes.

Pei Yue didn't feel tired, let alone flinch, and only had endless pride and ambition in his chest.However, when he passed through the hanging flower gate and saw the lonely figure beside the road, the excited look on his face turned into helplessness, and even a bit of embarrassment.

This other courtyard is a garden built by a wealthy businessman in Puqi City who spent a lot of money and offered it to Pei Yue as a temporary residence. Although it is not as grand as the Duke's mansion, it is better than quiet and elegant.

Pei Yue brought people around him and some of his own soldiers to live in. In addition, there were two women with special identities, Princess Qinghe of the Southern Zhou Dynasty and Xu Churong.

According to Hou Yu, the inner eunuch, the eldest prince Liu Xian insisted on fulfilling the marriage contract, so the first thing Han Gongduan did when he arrived in Jiangling was to reprimand the envoys of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and then allowed them to reorganize a relatively simple princess guard of honor. On the way, will arrive soon.

Pei Yue didn't care about this, it was the girl in front of him that really gave him a headache.

Xu Churong looked at Pei Yue who was walking towards him, complex emotions flashed in his eyes, and he saluted, "I've seen Peihou."

Pei Yue coughed twice, tried to make his expression gentler, and said lightly, "Why do you wake up so early?"

Xu Churong lowered his head slightly and said, "The air is fresh in the morning, so I thought about going out for a walk."

This statement is obviously not true. It is already early winter, and the air here is obviously chilly. Instead of staying in the warm bed in the early morning, go for a walk outside in the cold dew?In fact, Pei Yue can understand the mood of the girl in front of her. Abandoned by her own relatives, the future is desolate and confused, and she is not thinking about it day and night. How can she sleep peacefully?

After a little hesitation, Pei Yue said slowly: "Miss Xu, I have something to tell you."

Xu Churong raised his head and looked at Pei Yue, with a nervous look in his pure eyes.

Pei Yue looked at this face like a lotus in clear water, and couldn't help sighing softly.

In all fairness, Xu Churong's beauty is one in a million. After all, the Xu family of Qinghe has been passed down for thousands of years, and generations of patriarchs have married beautiful women. If such genetic improvement is achieved, the probability of crooked melons and dates is extremely low.

In fact, she is a typical Jiangnan water village beauty, elegant, smart, delicate and charming.

A white jade plum flower hairpin is placed in the simple bun with clouds, and purple jade dotted green beads hang on the white earlobes.

Wearing a long skirt of peonies and white waters in a smoke cage, it set off a slender figure. Although it is not as slim and exquisite as Lin Shuyue, it has a natural and romantic attitude.

Back then in Jian'an City, she was the jewel in the palm of the chief minister of the cabinet, and even the emperor doted on her, so she naturally looked dazzling, but it was easy for people to ignore her own temperament.Now that the situation has changed drastically, she doesn't even know how to deal with herself in the future, so she will inevitably show a timid posture, like a deer lost in the mountains and homeless.

Xu Churong had never been scrutinized for such a long time, Xu Churong turned his head and said softly: "What do you want to say?"

Pei Yue looked away and said, "Let's talk while walking."

Strolling along the path in the garden, breathing the slightly cold air, the two fell into a long silence again.

In fact, Pei Yue is not such an indecisive temperament, but he really feels embarrassed by the arrangement of the girl beside him.

He doesn't think he is a gentleman, and he admits that he can't be consistent like Gu Fan, but in the past few years, he has definitely not refused all comers.No matter Ye Qi, Gu Zhen, or Tao Hua, who has depended on each other for life since childhood, his interactions with these beauties are not mixed with utilitarianism.However, Xu Churong's identity is extremely special. It would be fine if he just declined her affection, but he must use her affection nakedly to make her a tool to remotely control the Nandu family...

Pei Yue didn't want to do such a dirty thing.

The cold wind blew the dead branches, and the coolness suddenly invaded the body.

Xu Churong murmured: "Pei Hou, I never thought you would be in such a difficult time."

Pei Yue could faintly hear the meaning behind her words. Presumably this clever girl had already guessed what he was thinking, he couldn't help showing a wry smile, and asked slowly: "Now that the peace talks have started, you really don't want to go back?"

Xu Churong's tone was a little erratic: "Well, I don't want to."

Pei Yue sighed, and said with a complicated expression: "If you don't go back, what are your plans?"

Xu Churong shook his head, his brows and eyes were full of loneliness.

Pei Yue suddenly realized that the girl next to her was only 16 years old, and had just entered high school in her previous life. Even though most people in this world were precocious, it was still impossible for her to be mature and open-minded.After experiencing the grief of the betrayal of her loved ones, I am afraid that she is full of fear of her homeland in the south and just wants to escape far away.

After repeated hesitation, he finally made up his mind and said, "If you don't mind, how about you come back to Kyoto with me?"

Xu Churong replied without thinking, "Okay."

Pei Yue was startled, and stopped involuntarily.

There was a bit of shame in the girl's eyes, but I don't know if it was Pei Yue's illusion, the color on her face suddenly became brighter, and she was no longer as gloomy and sad as before.

Pei Yue thought for a while and said gently: "I calculated after the fact that your father should just want you to stay with me, not really cold-blooded and heartless. You should understand that the Qinghe Xu family is the representative of the Nandu family. More than 70 years have passed, and the roots of these aristocratic families are still in the north. Sooner or later, Daliang will regain the homeland of the former Wei Dynasty. Not everyone is willing to coexist with the Southern Dynasties, especially those aristocratic families who crossed the south of the Yangtze River. I establish a special relationship, and those aristocratic families naturally have more room for maneuver."

Listening to his long speech, Xu Churong stared at him blankly.

After the secret conversation with Mr. Xi last night, Pei Yue had a more thorough understanding of the overall situation of the world, and then realized that Southern Zhou was not just an enemy to him.Regardless of his status in the army or the future development of Xiangyun, the existence of Nan Zhou is very important, especially those aristocratic families who control countless wealth, which can provide great assistance to his plan.

The importance of Xu Churong is self-evident.

But Pei Yue didn't want to deceive a 16-year-old girl.

Looking at the other party's clear eyes, a wry smile appeared on his face, and then he said calmly: "To be honest, if you stay by my side, it will also be very helpful to me."

Xu Churong lowered his eyes, and quickly gave a simple and crisp answer: "I am willing."

"Ok?"

Pei Yue was stunned for a moment, and suddenly wanted to reach out and touch her forehead. Could it be that he was sick and talking nonsense?
