They can't understand Pei Yun's deep affection for the dumb aunt, in this era when men can have three wives and four concubines, they naturally see Pei Yun's behavior tonight as a hint that they want to accept Yanzi to get started, and it seems that they will also salute when they see Yanzi in the future.
However, he said that Yanzi returned to the residence of the major of the Inner Guard Mansion and handed over Pei Yun's order to the major, and the major immediately sent someone to prepare immediately, and asked about tonight's task.
"I'm sorry Major, the mission failed, Wen Xiaohong didn't die, Wen Xiang died, but ...... Wen Xiang was killed by the colonel. Swallow said guiltily.
The major was taken aback and said, "You mean the colonel went in person?"
Swallow nodded.
The major asked urgently, "What did the major say, right...... Tasks on your trip. ”
Yanzi was embarrassed and said, "He said, it's okay, it's good."
"Haha, that's great!" The Major suddenly rejoiced.
"Major, you are." Swallow looked at the excited major in confusion.
"Let me tell you, the lieutenant colonel once said, plus what I have heard, the colonel has always been realistic, good is good, shortcomings are shortcomings, since the colonel said so to you, that is really good, you should be happy, why are you still sad."
The swallow stammered: "I...... I ......"
The major asked eagerly, "What else does the colonel have besides saying this?"
"Ah...... I. The swallow looked embarrassed.
The major smiled and said, "Don't worry, the colonel is not angry, you can rest assured."
Yanzi's face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "My lord, he also hugged me."
"What?" The major thought he had misheard.
"He's ...... Hugged me. ”
When the major heard this, he stood for a moment, and looked at the swallow with a meaningful look.
The swallow blushed and rejoiced in her heart.
Suddenly, what's wrong with me, do I really like him, or ...... However, if you have an enmity with him, how can you ...... Will like him, won't, won't, don't want him, don't want him.
Then he is still holding himself today...... Casually close to women, it seems that he is also a frivolous person, if he dares to touch me again, I will definitely ......
Could it be that he had already recognized me, otherwise he would have gone on a mission, why did he follow and save himself when he was in the most danger, his mission was not completed, and he said that it was good, very good.
However, how could he worry about himself, he was so ruthless to let himself go, he never looked back.
Alas, what the hell is wrong with me!
……
That night, the news of Wen Xiang's assassination was informed of the assassination by the group of guards, and the county lieutenant was shocked and sent officers and soldiers to find Wen Xiaohong, but did not send anyone to search for the assassin. This was a self-proclaimed clever official, knowing that the assassin must have fled early, and the search would be fruitless, so he stopped investigating.
The next day, there was no news of Wen Xiaohong's appearance in the palace from the Neiwei Mansion, and there was no news of Wen Xiaohong's appearance in the palace, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
Pei Yun asked the Internal Guard Mansion to suspend the investigation, and listened to what Yanzi said, the relationship between Wen's father and son seemed to be fake, and why was Wen's attitude towards Wen Xiaohong very respectful.
Since Wen Xiaohong talked about the restoration of the country, that is to say, Wen Xiaohong is very likely to be the leader of an anti-Chu force, and it is also a very large force, there is Qiang Yue and the Wei clan that has never heard of it and is assured to unite with the forces, and he does not attach great importance to himself in his words, whether he is fearless or has enough strength and confidence, he should not be underestimated.
Since the so-called Eastern Five Counties are actually in the hands of Wen Xiaohong, that is to say, this place is his Wen Xiaohong's territory, and it is best to ask the Internal Guard Mansion to stop the search for Wen Xiaohong, so as not to cause accidents.
So who is this Wen Xiaohong, and how does he control the five eastern counties, you must know that the time for the establishment of Great Chu is not short.
After this, Pei Yun still felt strange about one thing.
What a big deal it is that the imperial history of a county was assassinated, and this Chengyang County was silent about it, as if it had never happened, and I heard that the guards went directly to the county lieutenant when they reported the crime, and they didn't know anything about the county guard, so it directly explained that the first leader was not as good as the second in command.
Could it be that Wen Xiaohong relied on this kind of overhead leadership power or complete control of the leadership to control the five counties? But with his own strength, how can he do it, is there someone in the court to help him, who will it be?
In this way, after more than ten days, there is still no news from the search for the dumb aunt, but the new supervisor is in the history, it is said that the county guard has strongly recommended one of his students to serve, but the officials below are almost one-sided, resolutely opposed, the county guard was angry on the spot, but there is no choice, so he has to let the officials jointly nominate him.
This Wen Xiaohong is really a good means, and the eunuch who was elected to take office must also be his person. Pei Yun became more and more curious about this, so he went to see it for himself.
That night, Pei Yun thought of a countermeasure and discussed with Yue Ying Zhong Xiaobai to go to the county governor's mansion, and the two agreed.
The next morning, Pei Yun got up to freshen up, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw the swallow standing at the door. Pei Yun smiled and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Yanzi said: "It was the Marquis of Yue, the Marquis of Zhong, and the commander of Chang who asked me to come to you, they said that Langya didn't walk much, and took advantage of today's good weather to see the sea, that ...... They said to go and run errands, and let me accompany you to the county governor's mansion. Saying that, Yanzi became nervous in his heart, would Pei Yun say: Oh, no need, I'll just go by myself.
Pei Yun said: "Okay, let's eat and leave."
Ah, he promised me to go with him and eat with me...... No, no, you can't eat with him, or he will see my appearance, and if he sees it and ignores me, what will I do.
Yanzi said: "My lord, I have eaten, you go ......"
"Okay, you go and tell Xiao Er to hurry up and get ready, and we'll leave after eating." Pei Yun dropped a sentence and turned around and entered the room.
"Hey, I'm ......," Swallow said halfway through.
"Is there anything else?" Pei Yun stopped and turned back.
"No, no."
"Okay, let's go." After Pei Yun finished speaking, he closed the door.
The swallow bit her lip, and was secretly annoyed in her heart, so she went to greet Xiao Er.
The door to the county governor's mansion is still easy to find.
Pei Yun knocked on the door and came out.
"Please report to the county captain, and say that the northern envoy will meet you."
The subordinate was stunned, nodded busily, closed the door and went in to report, and after a while, the subordinate opened the door and said respectfully: "This son, please come in, my lord is waiting for you in the guest hall."
Pei Yun smiled politely, followed the people in, walked through a bluestone courtyard, and a wide hall appeared in front of him, and he had already seen a middle-aged man standing at the door, looking at Pei Yun and Yanzi with a smile.
The man was dressed in a straight single coat, with a wide forehead, thick eyebrows, a round pointed chin, a rugged melon seed face, and a glittering eye, he was an extraordinary person. It was Shen Zhang, the lieutenant of Chengyang County
Pei Yun walked closer and arched his hand first: "In Xiabeitangping, Your Excellency must be Shen Zhang Shen Junwei."
Shen Zhang laughed, stepped forward and arched his hand: "It's Shen Zhang, the son of Beitang is young and promising, it's really enviable."
Pei Yundao: "The county lieutenant is in the prime of life, he is the captain of a county, and he is a model for our younger generations, and I hope to give him advice."
Hearing this, Shen Zhang laughed, looked at the swallow behind him and said, "This must be a lady, a hero and beauty, women don't let their eyebrows be shaved, it's rare."
Pei Yun was about to explain, but Shen Zhang leaned sideways and stretched out his hand and said, "Please go into the cold house for tea."
Pei Yun smiled and said: "The adult is an elder, although he is a guest below, but the etiquette is indispensable, and the county lieutenant is still advanced."
Shen Zhang smiled when he heard this: "Then the official is not welcome." As he spoke, he walked in the door and sat down on the upper seat.
Pei Yun and Yanzi then went in and sat down, and someone brought hot tea.
Shen Zhang smiled and said, "Beitang Gongzi, I don't know what you are looking for."
Pei Yun said: "Lord County Lieutenant, since I am here on behalf of my general, I will know the identity of the County Captain without visiting the county guard first, so please ask the County Captain not to question it again, as for how to know the identity of the County Captain, it is inconvenient to advise, I hope you will forgive me."
When Shen Zhang heard this, he waved his hand, and all the subordinates retreated, "Beitang Gongzi, please speak." ”
Pei Yun was not in a hurry, first picked up the teacup and took a leisurely sip of tea, closed his eyes and felt the comfort of the tea flowing into his abdomen, and said after a long time: "It's really good tea."
