Chapter 54: Showing Your Edge
The banquet of the Duhu Mansion, which was supposed to be lively, didn't know why it tasted so dull, and then took a sip of the mellow wine, Di Huaiying's eyes were locked on Pei Xingjian at the head of the seat and the other guards who were waiting on his side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even a fool can see what the intentions of this group of people in front of him are, but I am afraid that it will be more difficult to persuade Pei Xingjian later.
"When I first came to Anxi Dadu Protectorate, Huaiying didn't expect the climate here to be so harsh, and I thought that the adjacent sea area should be more prosperous in Chang'an. ”
"What's more, the neighboring Persian Empire is a big merchant country, and it seems that they rarely come here to trade, otherwise the living room of the capital should not be so simple. ”
"Hehe, what Brother Di said is very true, when Brother Pei led 20,000 soldiers to come here for the first time, he also suffered a lot because of the climatic conditions, but after five years, he still carried it over, this is not in line with the old saying that where there is a will, there is a way. ”
"As for decorating the Metropolitan Protectorate, as a soldier, I don't pay attention to these, not to mention the border forbidden area, how can I let those Persian Hu people step on half a step. ”
Pei Xingjian got up with a smile, took the wine handed by the servant on one side and poured it into the wine bottle in Di Huaiying's palm.
"However, some fine wine and food are still necessary, and it is inevitable that there will be high-ranking officials who come and go, and the taste will not be too chilling. ”
"Pei Dutong doesn't seem to be the old stubborn group in Chang'an City, and he still attaches great importance to exchanges inside and outside the border. ”
"It's just not clear, what do you think of the fact that Pi Ruth went to Chang'an to ask for troops?"
Without beating around the bush too much, Di Huaiying turned the wine glass around the tip of his nose, then put it back on the table with a smile, but Pei Xingjian, who saw the words, stiffened his back suddenly.
"I heard that the earlier cause was the invasion of the army of the Saracen Empire from within the Persian Empire, so Isqi III mistakenly thought that the place where the Great Prince Tibes was stationed had been breached, so he ordered the escort Apo to escort Piruth to Chang'an to ask for help. ”
"Oh, how did Pei Dutong know the truth behind this? After all, at this time, the Persian Empire wanted Apo notices were everywhere. ”
Brother Di laughed, Brother Pei had a lot of dealings with Yi Si Qi III earlier, so when this matter broke out, the old king's character should be handled like this. ”
"What's more, Ah Pu is his most trusted guard, as for what happened behind the scenes, we don't have an accurate answer, do we?"
At least in the eyes of the elder brother, this explanation is more reasonable. ”
The old fox who doesn't leak......
Di Huaiying glanced at Li Yuanfang and snickered, and then looked at Pei Tingting, who was sitting on pins and needles on the other side.
"Miss Pei heard that she had just passed the year of Harmony not long ago, but unfortunately she came in a hurry and failed to prepare some gifts for Miss Pei. ”
"If you have the opportunity to come to Chang'an, the capital of the gods, Huaiying will definitely help Miss Pei arrange a visit, just when she came to the banquet, Mo Shenzhu never forgot the promise he made with you. ”
Pei Tingting didn't have as much thought as her father, and at this moment, listening to Di Huaiying's words mentioning the divine capital Chang'an and Mo Wushuang, her already not very energetic appearance became even more depressed, and there were even faint tears circulating in her eyes.
"Then I will bother Brother Di to arrange it, after all, Brother Pei is reluctant to let the silly girl accompany him and delay his life in the Anxi Dadu Protectorate. ”
Pei Xingjian's words stopped his daughter's answer, but he turned around and caressed Pei Tingting's appearance, but there were seven points that he was really heartbroken.
"Hehe, how could Miss Pei stay in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate for a lifetime, could it be that Pei Dutong forgot her marriage contract with Tibes, the eldest prince of the Persian Empire?"
"When the time comes... You are still the father-in-law of the current king of Persia......"
Di Huaiying's words came out quite suddenly, and the moment the guards of the Protectorate were stunned at the scene, they heard the sound of the silver soldiers coming out of the sheath, and Pei Xingjian hurriedly stretched out his hand to suppress the anger of everyone present.
"Since I already knew about these things, why did Brother Di keep testing my brother......
"There's no temptation, I'm just talking about some hearsay, but at this moment, the guards behind you are so excited, is there something hidden in it that Dali Temple doesn't know?"
"Or, after hearing that Tibes will personally come to the Protectorate of Anxi to marry Miss Pei in two days, will you not allow him to set foot in the Protectorate like any other Persian merchant would?"
"Therefore, I am very surprised whether the current Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate is still loyal to the Second Sage, and I am even more curious about whether what is about to happen in two days is related to the master and servant of Pi Ruth at this moment. ”
Pei Xingjian trembled his palms, I don't know if it was because of excitement or something else, he raised his eyebrows and stared at Di Huaiying's face, and for the first time, there was a trace of solemnity.
"It may also be a double happiness, after all, if the misunderstanding is resolved, we can continue to live in peace with the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate. ”
"And the order you got was nothing more than to send Piruth safely to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, wasn't it?"
When Li Yuanfang heard this, he took out the belt that had been used as evidence earlier from his bosom and slid it down the table to Pei Xingjian's eyes, when he saw the obvious assassination order on it, and the familiar name of Uluge was engraved on the tail of the curl.
"Double happiness, I don't think so, but the bloodbath is somewhat reliable......"
"In addition, the goal of our visit to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, do you really think that it is all to escort the master and servant of Piruth to serve as the governor of Persia?"
Di Huaiying smiled and leaned on the back of the wooden chair, and suddenly heard an explosion from the direction of the guest room where Dali Temple was stationed, and then saw several strong men from the courtyard door and crawled on the steps!
"Lord Dutong! The move has already been made over there, at this time, we will not capture this Chang'an eagle dog surnamed Di, when will we wait!"
This person Di Huaiying had seen in the morning, it was Mu Ge who was escorting Mo Wushuang, and looking at that hideous appearance, he secretly signaled to Li Yuanfang beside him when everyone was approaching.
After all, it can be seen at the moment that Pei Xingjian has not suppressed the majesty that his subordinates should have......
"I didn't expect Pei Dutong to really dare to make a move towards Dali Temple......"
"Shut up, how do you, a lackey surnamed Di from Chang'an, know that the capital has been able to maintain the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate so far!"
"How do you know how ugly the faces of those rich miser bastards in Chang'an are in the reality of tens of thousands of brothers dying in a foreign land, they would rather spend a lot of money in the Qinglou than take care of the begging of the capital to provide a load of grain and grass!"
This remark seemed to inspire the anger of everyone present, and then approached Di Huaiying with a knife, but unexpectedly, a white-clothed figure fell in the courtyard and blew up half a zhang of yellow sand in the night, and then accompanied by a hiss, the horizontal knives of everyone present were broken into several pieces before they could be slashed!
"Hey, didn't Huaiying Xiaoshou say that he wanted to persuade Pei Dutong to get lost and know his way back? Why do I look like I'm going to do it?"
When the dust cleared, Mo Wu held Dan Feng in both hands, and laughed softly at the frightened eyes of the people present......
