Chapter 312: Xie Pei
On the northern slope of Momoyama, in a col across the hill from Momoyama Academy, a low thatched hut was built. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although the hut is small and dilapidated, it is surrounded by green bamboo, a babbling stream, and a very quiet environment.
It looks like a secluded place for a master from outside the world, but no one would have imagined that the old Xiucai who lived here was once a famous dog-headed military advisor in Fujiquan Mountain.
It's Xie Erbald who is talking about.
Xie Er's bald man's real name is Xie Pei, about forty or so, and he is also a handsome middle-aged man, but it's a pity that his sparse hair is shaped like thatch, and the top of his head is empty early, which greatly affects his external image, and Xie Er's bald name comes from this.
At this time, it is more dewy, and the night is low, except for the intermittent sound of the wind blowing the leaves and the chirping of insects, the col is silent.
But at this moment, a low voice suddenly came from the small window of the hut, breaking the long silence.
āā¦ā¦ The fever has subsided, wait until tomorrow to take some decoction to nourish the wounds on the body, and this catastrophe can be regarded as surviving. ā
Xie Pei walked in front with an oil lamp in his hand, carefully placed it on the head of the bed, and touched Wei Zhao's forehead with his hand to make sure that his high fever had subsided, so he turned around and nodded at Zheng Tong.
Zheng Tong came at night and did not alarm anyone except for his brother, who had a relationship with him.
It has been more than three days since the corpse exchange happened that day.
Seeing that King Jin and Xue Ning had no suspicions, Zheng Tong dared to avoid everyone's eyes and go to Xie Pei to see Wei Zhao.
At this time, hearing Xie Pei say this, Zheng Tong also looked at Wei Zhao by the light of the oil lamp, and saw that although his face was pale, his breathing was extremely stable, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Wei Zhao was sleeping soundly, the two did not disturb here, and walked out of the inner room together.
Xie Pei put the oil lamp on the small table in the West House, poured two more bowls of tea, and then sat on the bamboo chair with Zheng Tong on the left and right.
Wei Zhao was fine, Zheng Tong had one less thing to worry about, and his tone was also pleasant.
He glanced at the neat room, looked at the tea on the small table, the wine in the cabinet, and chuckled twice.
"No wonder Ning Er said that big brother, you are a living race immortal! Look at your house, tsk...... Except for a few mothers-in-law, they really live in everything!"
Hearing this, Xie Pei glanced at him, his eyes full of disgust.
It's really a pot that can't be opened!
Seeing this, Zheng Tong patted his mouth, laughed twice, and changed the topic: "...... Look at the eldest brother like this, it seems that he doesn't want to go out of the mountain, he just wants to be a reclusive master!"
"I want to!"
Xie Pei's voice was slightly raised, with some complaints.
āā¦ā¦ But look, can I be idle?"
Zheng Tong's face was even more scornful.
This time, without discussion, sending Wei Zhao to Xie Pei did bring him a lot of trouble, and if it was serious, it might even cause death.
In the end, he can't stop Xie Pei!
"Alright, alright!"
Seeing that this tower-like red-faced man looked guilty like a child, Xie Pei finally waved his hand.
He didn't really mean to blame!
After all, they are good brothers who share blessings and hardships!
Although the two had a disagreement because of the matter of returning to obedience, in Xie Pei's heart, the difference was only opinions, not feelings.
Xie Pei handed over the tea bowl and said, "Since I have settled the person, it is agreed, and you don't have to feel guilty, this is what you want me to do!"
If he didn't agree, Ning Er and Zhao Quan didn't want to settle people here with him.
Hearing this, Zheng Tong's face was even more ashamed.
āā¦ā¦ After all, my brother can't stand you! Brother has to go back to his life, you can't drink alcohol, today you will replace wine with tea, and brother will toast your eldest brother with a cup!"
As he spoke, he touched the tea bowl with Xie Pei and raised his head to drink it clean.
However, Xie Pei was more refreshing, and seeing that Zheng Tong was guilty, he patted him on the shoulder impatiently.
"Grinding and chirping, this is not your Zheng Yidao's style!"
Zheng Yidao, it is Zheng Tong, just because he killed people but with a knife, and he sealed his throat with blood, and he was also a well-known living king of Yama in the area of Fujiquan Mountain, and the King of Jin subdued him, which can be said to have increased a fierce general.
"Besides, when you brought your brothers to the king of Jin last year, I strongly disagreed with it...... Now that he has saved such a prince with a complicated background, although the past is unpredictable, it can't be said to be a way out for the brothers. ā
Hearing this, Zheng Tong finally returned to his normal color.
But after a while, his complexion became complicated again.
"At the beginning, my eldest brother persuaded me sincerely, but it's a pity that I let the interests be confused and didn't listen...... Hey......"
He shook his head, "After this incident, my brother finally understands the good intentions of the eldest brother. ā
As he spoke, Zheng Tong explained the cause and effect of this incident.
Although Xie Pei had heard Ning Er and the two mention it before, because the two of them didn't know much about it, Xie Pei only knew a rough idea, and now when he heard Zheng Tong mention it again, he couldn't help but hold his breath and think carefully with his eyebrows.
āā¦ā¦ I didn't think so, thinking that although I was the cousin of King Jin, since it was an order from King Jin, killing him was nothing!"
Zheng Tong shook his head, "Later, when I heard Wei Ning mention it, I realized that this Wei Zhao was actually ...... It was actually the one in the Jingshi...... Brother, although I am a rough man, I also know the difference between killing a prince's brother and killing a prince!"
Under the dimming of the lights, Xie Pei's face remained unchanged, but his voice was extremely cold.
āā¦ā¦ If nothing happens, it's fine, but if Wei Zhao's identity is discovered, the charge of murder will be planted on your head! King Jin is really calculating!"
Zheng Tong nodded, unable to agree with Xie Pei's words, he said, "...... At the beginning, he was also deceived by the illusion of benevolence, but now it seems that the more benevolent this person is, the more vicious he is...... King Jin can kill donkeys like this to his younger brother, won't he be even more ruthless to our bandit-born subordinates in the future?"
In this world, there are few who truly treat others with themselves, but there are many who are loved by others.
What happened to Wei Zhao really frightened Zheng Tong!
As soon as Zheng's voice fell, Xie Pei nodded with a complicated expression.
"I said at the beginning that we were born bandits, no matter whether the King of Jin is benevolent or not, whether we ascend the throne in the future or fail, there will be no good end for us! Fame and fortune are only temporary...... It's not a troubled time now, we are taking the initiative to surrender to sincerity, it's good when King Jin can use us, if we can really get a big treasure in the future, our identity as a bandit is the biggest taboo, and then the lackey cooks the cunning rabbit to death, not to mention revenge, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save my life......"
The voice fell, and the room fell completely silent.
Zheng Tong was silent and did not speak.
After a long time, Xie Pei patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's not that step yet, your life is safe for the time being, and with Wei Zhao here, maybe there will be a turnaround......"
Saying that, Xie Pei touched his beard, and looked at Zheng Tong's eyes with a glimmer of light.
When Zheng Tong heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Could it be that Mr. Cheng has thought of some perfect method?"
