Invincible son

Chapter 944 943 [Wolf Ambition]

In the spring afternoon, the sun was shining brightly in the imperial city.

Emperor Kaiping ordered the others to retreat and only left Mo Moyun in the Nuan Pavilion. Naturally, he wanted to settle what Lin He had committed.As for beating up this lonely minister, or turning it into a trivial matter, the important ministers actually don't care.

As long as there is no principled problem with Mo Moyun himself, Emperor Kaiping will not be really angry. After all, this person is his important arm in controlling the court, and he has been known for his loyalty for more than ten years.

The spring breeze was blowing outside the hall, but the big shots who walked out slowly couldn't relax, each with their own plans and worries.

Luo Ting, who is in power on the right, was a spectator throughout the whole process today. When Pei Yue finally suggested that Luan Yiwei should investigate the case, he originally wanted to go out of class to dissuade him, but after thinking about it, he gave up the plan.

This move was not because Luo Ting was afraid of the emperor's cold eyes or worried about personal gains and losses, but that under the current complicated situation, he had to plan carefully before making moves.Now that Mo Haoli has been bedridden for a long time, he has become a real minister and cannot be ignored.In the final analysis, this case is a turmoil among Wu Xun, and as the ruling court, it is not appropriate for him to intervene at will.

But when they parted in the square in front of the palace, he still gave Pei Yue a meaningful look, and this scene also fell into Gu Liang's eyes.

The breeze is blowing, refreshing.

It's just that in this warm atmosphere, Wang Pingzhang's momentum was like a dark cloud overwhelming the city, and his indifferent tone showed the majesty of the leader of the military plane: "Zhongshan Hou has good means."

Pei Yue first looked at Wang Jiuxuan, who was behind the old man with his head down, and then replied calmly, "I wonder if Wei Guogong has heard a word?"

Wang Pingzhang's graying hair on the sideburns was meticulously groomed, letting the wind blow without moving. Hearing this, he slightly squinted his eyes and looked at the extremely difficult young dignitary who suddenly appeared opposite him.

A calm smile appeared on Pei Yue's face, and he said slowly: "My lord, if you want people not to know, you have to do nothing yourself."

If this sentence is understood literally, it should refer to the various methods Wang Pingzhang has used secretly from the beginning of last year to this moment, including convincing Emperor Kaiping to plan the war in the southern border, pushing Princess Pingyang to marry him, and attacking the North at night. Suburb courtyard and others' calculations against Pei Yue.

As for inviting you into the urn last night, it was obviously a small counterattack by Pei Yue.

However, in Wang Pingzhang's view, this remark still has an unfinished meaning, and it seems to point to the bloody night in Kyoto 17 years ago, but he doesn't know how much inside information Pei Yue has.

He stared at Pei Yue with a calm and somewhat sarcastic expression, and said in a deep voice: "The old man also has a message for Zhongshanhou."

Pei Yue nodded slightly and said, "All ears."

Wang Pingzhang said indifferently: "Be careful to lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot."

The two stood facing each other, with a murderous aura soaring into the sky, even the palace servants standing in the distance could feel the fierce killing intent, so they couldn't help but stand further away, and looked away with difficulty, not looking at the two men. There is a huge difference in age, but they also hold a lot of real power and honor.

"Cough cough."

A few coughs lightened the stagnant atmosphere, and Gu Liang walked to Pei Yue's side and said earnestly, "Brother Yue, Duke Wei is an elder, so don't lose your courtesy."

Pei Yue understood and said: "What Yue Zhang taught is that my son-in-law has always respected Wei Guogong, so how dare he show disrespect."

He paused slightly, then turned to Wang Jiuxuan and said, "By the way, Brother Wang, I have another gift for you, I hope you will like it."

After finishing speaking, he saluted Wang Pingzhang and left side by side with Gu Liang.

"Grandfather—" Wang Jiuxuan looked solemn.

"Don't panic." Wang Pingzhang interrupted him, and said softly, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

When he returned to Duke Wei's mansion, the grandfather and grandson came to the heavily guarded inner study, Wang Pingzhang finally showed some fatigue on his face, but he didn't know if it was because he had spent too much energy in the palace, or because he was worried about Pei Yue's next counterattack .

"Your Majesty doesn't want to push the old man too hard, so I left you some leeway today. The position of commanding the imperial army is just a decoration, so you can't give up on yourself."

After drinking half a cup of ginseng tea, Wang Pingzhang's energy gradually recovered, and he gently comforted his eldest grandson.Even though he knew that Wang Jiuxuan's mind was calm and he would not be hit by this failure, he had to take precautions in the end.

Wang Jiuxuan said calmly: "Grandfather, my grandson doesn't care about hibernating for a period of time. It just happens that I can change from a witness to a bystander, and maybe I can learn more. However, my grandson has some doubts in his heart, so I ask my grandfather to point me out."

Wang Pingzhang nodded and said, "Let's talk."

Wang Jiuxuan asked, "Is Pei Yue a descendant of the Chen family?"

A strange look flashed in Wang Pingzhang's eyes, and then he laughed softly, and said calmly: "I used to have the same guess as you. Looking at this son's rise all the way, especially in the first half, he was inseparable from the Chen family. But You only need to think about His Majesty's attitude towards Pei Yue to know the answer to this question."

Wang Jiuxuan sighed lightly: "Sun'er has thought about this, but he still holds a glimmer of hope. If Pei Yue has something to do with the Chen family, this is his deathbed."

"Everything is about one piece and one relaxation. This is the way that all laws are interlinked. Since our plan was resolved by Pei Yue, it will be his turn to counterattack next. There is no need to be too nervous. Jiuxuan, did you give the pawn in the pavilion?" You answer?" Wang Pingzhang meant something, obviously trying to deal with Pei Yue's next move.

Regardless of Pei Yue's calm demeanor after the emperor's decision, or the brief confrontation in the square in front of the palace, Pei Yue has already stated one thing bluntly, the game last night was just the beginning.

This kind of attitude is unpredictable, either because of suspicious formations that disturb one's mind, or because of absolute certainty, according to Wang Pingzhang's research on Pei Yue's temperament, the latter is more likely.

That being the case, it cannot be ignored.

Wang Jiuxuan shook his head and said, "Grandfather, judging from the secret letter sent by that person, there is no abnormality in the pavilion at present. When Pei Yue was in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, he was assisted by Qian Bing, the head of the Department of Dui, and those assassins. This is His Majesty and Shen Moyun. Lan Zhiqiu’s whereabouts are still unknown, Qian Bing has also disappeared for a long time, and their whereabouts have not been found yet.”

Wang Pingzhang pondered: "If the old man's guess is correct, these two people should be entering Beijing soon."

Wang Jiuxuan was slightly startled, and quickly understood the deep meaning of the old man's words, and said slowly: "Is Pei Yue going to repeat the old trick?"

Wang Pingzhang sneered and said, "He is very good at making chains, and the assassination case in the southern border may be his real killing move."

Wang Jiuxuan frowned and said: "Lan Zhiqiu is not Liu Fei, and even if Pei Yue can subdue him, even if he forcibly involves his grandfather, can Marquis Xiongwu including the entire Lan family stay out of the matter?"

Wang Pingzhang looked deep, shook his head and said: "He will not bite the old man, he is only targeting you from the beginning to the end. He knows that the old man values ​​you, so he will give a hint in advance, hoping that the old man can follow his expectations go down."

"Did he think that grandfather would use his strength to intercept and kill Qian Bing and Lan Zhiqiu?"

Wang Jiuxuan had an expression of disbelief.

Wang Pingzhang nodded and said: "Even if you don't hit, it's not far away. From his point of view, the old man will spare no effort to keep you. Even if he doesn't send someone to openly intercept and kill you, he will use the chess pieces buried in the pavilion to solve this hidden danger for you." .”

Taishitai Pavilion has placed a lot of secret rooms in the army. This is already an obvious fact, and generals with a little background in the military know it well.But there will never be a shortage of scheming people in this world. The big men in the army will also send people to the pavilion. For example, when Pei Yue was ambushed by Western Wu swordsmen, Gu Liang rushed to Li Bingzhong's mansion is a public example.

Wang Pingzhang's status is higher than Gu Liang's, and he has been in power for a longer time, and he is not far behind in this regard.

Wang Jiuxuan thought for a moment, then firmly said: "Grandfather, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

Wang Pingzhang showed a gratified smile, and then sighed: "It's just that you will suffer this time, but you don't have to worry too much, the old man will definitely save your life."

Wang Jiuxuan smiled and said: "Grandfather, grandson still say the same thing, don't care about any wind and rain."

Wang Pingzhang nodded approvingly, and his tone gradually became serious: "Pei Yue is forcing the old man to make a move, so naturally he can't let him do what he wants. The game of chess in the capital has just begun, and he won't be complacent for too long. The northern border is well arranged. Yet?"

Wang Jiuxuan replied calmly, "Nothing will go wrong."

Wang Pingzhang said again: "Over there in the Northern Camp of the Beijing Army, you must be extra careful when making contact, and don't lose any confidential information."

Wang Jiuxuan responded, and then said in shock, "Grandfather, is it too early?"

"Just plan for a rainy day."

Wang Pingzhang said calmly, his eyes were slightly sad, showing a bit of melancholy, and he said quietly: "Although Pei Yue has the qualifications to fight with the old man, what really chills the old man is His Majesty's attitude. Even if your grandfather has already retreated He can retreat, but he still won’t give up.”

After a short pause, he said indifferently: "Then let's see whose heart is colder."
