Chapter 24: Speculation
That night, there was a record of Zhuang Yan and Baizhu's conversation in the afternoon on the bookcase of Duanwang's Mansion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Duan Wang looked at it with a blank face, and then put the letter paper in the candle flame and burned it.
Sure enough, it seems that the previous life's own speculation was not wrong.
Pei Ze has a wound on his back, and there is no food and grass, and there are less than 100 dead people left around him, if he wants to escape in the barren desert, and also set up a great feat of killing the king of Xiliang, there will be masters around him to help!
In the previous life, King Duan didn't figure it out, and he didn't get the answer he wanted after knocking on Pei Ze's side, so he always thought that Pei Ze's martial arts were world-famous and full of wisdom, so he fought on the battlefield and became a god.
Or later, after Zhuang Yan's death, he took over all the properties of his sister, only in an audit of accounts, he accidentally found that in the fourteenth year of Yongjia, the caravan in the Western Regions should have returned, but suddenly went to the capital of Xiliang Wangdu, and when he returned to Xi'an two months later, the goods he carried were inexplicably less than tens of thousands of taels, and even the grain in the warehouse in Liangzhou that year was supposed to be abundant was also short of hundreds of deniers.
At that time, he felt that there must be a problem inside, but in view of the fact that the deceased was big, Sister A would also have some personal affairs to deal with, so he didn't explore it carefully, let alone associate it with Pei Ze's military exploits that year.
It wasn't until a night banquet for monarchs and ministers that Pei Ze was rarely drunk and accidentally poured wine on his clothes, and when the chamberlain helped him sort out his clothes, he accidentally exposed a jade gourd pendant in his neck.
He also had an identical jade gourd, which was carved by Zhuang Yan himself before his death, but he threw it away from nowhere. After he woke up, he regretted very much that he shouldn't spoil his sister's intentions, and ordered someone to look for him in the palace for half a year but didn't find it, so he made a similar one in the palace workshop according to his memory.
When an identical jade gourd appeared in front of him, his mind flashed with a flash of memory of the strange account books and caravan letters.
Something must have happened between them!
But when Pei Ze had an accident, King Duan had not recognized this sister, and he had a vague memory of what happened back then. He found his later right-hand man Liu Yu and asked, Liu Yu was tight-mouthed, no matter how many times he asked, there was only one sentence - the girl said that it was to return Jingyuan for a favor.
And the three Baizhu brothers and sisters have long been missing.
This matter became an unsolved case in his heart.
He only knew that Zhuang Yan had spared no effort to help Pei Ze, but he was not sure if Pei Ze knew that someone had saved him like this.
But he would rather draw the conclusion that they had secretly agreed with each other through the jade gourd on Pei Ze's body, and Pei Ze's support for him after Zhuang Yan's death, but never gave him a good look.
Otherwise, Sister A's last life would have been too miserable.
King Duan gradually had an idea in his heart, this life was originally to repay his sister's kindness and let his sister live happily and safely. No matter what, he must make it natural for them to be together!
Baizhu took advantage of the palace to change guards at night, and jumped out of the high wall of the palace.
Liu Yu has been resting in the courtyard behind the Tongbao.
Hearing the knock of the window, he got up impatiently and got dressed, shouting as he walked, "Who? Don't let people sleep at night? ā
When he opened the door and saw that it was Baizhu, he kept muttering, "Is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow morning?" It's almost time! If you don't sleep, don't stop me from sleeping! ā
Baizhu covered the door, and then strode in, sat on the stool, and looked serious: "There is a big matter, the girl ordered you to transfer five hundred deniers of grain and grass from the granary in Liangzhou, and prepare it first." ā
When Liu Yu heard this, his intuition was that something big had happened, and he immediately came to his senses: "What happened?" Want to come over so late to make arrangements? ā
Naturally, it's for General Pei! I didn't see the girl feel distressed like anything! However, Baizhu couldn't loudly announce Zhuang Yan's thoughts about Pei Ze to the public, so he could only say euphemistically: "General Pei has been missing in the northwest for more than ten days..." ā
As soon as he said this, Liu Yu understood that Zhuang Yan was indeed a person who reciprocated the grace of dripping water, just look at the current Bai brothers and sisters. Although they and Zhuang Yan are nominally master and servants, but since childhood, Zhuang Yan has also paid a lot of money to hire Shaolin monks to teach Baizhu stick boxing, the Bai sisters are also finely raised, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting have been learned, and they don't do any rough work on weekdays, but clothes and jewelry are added every year. Now Zhuang Yan is hiding from the Bai brothers and sisters, and quietly entrusted the shopkeeper of Xi'an to inquire about their relatives, Liu Yu has heard the shopkeeper of Xi'an reveal the tone, Zhuang Yan inquired about all the eunuch family or scholars, and the worst and worst must be a cultivator.
Whose slave can do that? You don't need to sign a deed, you can eat and drink like a young lady and a son, and even inquire about the marriage, where is this still a master and servant, it is clearly a sibling!
If it was to repay the favor, Liu Yu believed that Zhuang Yan would really be able to do such a thing.
Liu Yu hugged his arm and said, "I hate that I knew too late, otherwise I wouldn't have begged the owner to save General Pei without the owner's orders." I, Liu Yu, admire the generous and majestic people the most, General Pei has made contributions to the country, which is exactly what our men yearn for, and now he is in danger, and he was framed by the Wei family, all hot-blooded men can't bear to watch a generation of famous generals fall! As he spoke, his voice became even more intense, as if he had rushed to the battlefield with a sword.
Baizhu was stunned, "I didn't know you still had such awareness!" ā
I really always thought you were in the eye of money.
Seeing that he looked down on himself so much, Liu Yu rushed up without saying a word, grabbed Baizhu's collar, and seemed to want to try it with him.
Baizhu said lightly: "Don't be stupid, you can't beat me." ā
Liu Yu's eyes were split.
Baizhu pressed him on the table with his backhand, and Liu Yu struggled to get up, "Look, I'll just say you can't beat me." ā
Joke! He is Liu Yu, who is known as the little white dragon in the waves, how can he not even be beaten by a Shaolin lay disciple.
"You have a kind of, let's compare kung fu in the water?" Liu Yu was pressed unsteadily.
"I grew up on the Xin'an River when I was a child, you really want to compare with me, that's okay, there is a lake in the northwest corner of Kyoto, let's go there and compete!"
Liu Yu's eyes rolled, he also walked on the Xin'an River, knowing that the Xin'an River is known as the title of one river and eighteen beaches, describing the river as extremely stormy, if this kid really grew up on the Xin'an River, he will definitely not be able to compare with him. Then he whispered, "I'm kidding! Who doesn't know your title of Uncle Bai, a well-known master of the Northwest martial arts, who defeated the two masters of the Baili family in a row! ā
This is about four years ago, when Baizhu led people to intercept goods, one person fought against the two Bailiteng brothers.
Seeing that he had softened, Baizhu bowed his head slightly and unloaded his strength.
