Chapter 45: Suspicion

The cold tone and solemn expression diluted Zhuang Yan's childish thoughts at first. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This person is really suspicious, but she thinks she has done a perfect job, where did she leak the news? Zhuang Yan restrained his smile, straightened his body, looked up at Pei Ze, and his voice was slightly cold: "This is how the general treats his life-saving benefactor?" I originally thought that General Pei was different from those idiots who were dead and vegetarian, and that he was dedicated to the country, so it seems that you are all the same kind of people......"

Pei Ze snorted coldly: "Although you have the grace of three rescues for me, I can't accept it calmly, if you want to borrow my hand to go through the northwest trade road, I'm just afraid that love can't help." If you have something else to ask for, I can take care of it for you. ”

Joke! No matter how far her caravan can go, she never has to rely on Pei Ze, she has a way to get the officials on the frontier to open a pass. His own kindness was misinterpreted by him like this, Zhuang Yan couldn't hold his face, and his tone was a little more aggressive: "General Pei also thinks too highly of himself, saving you is just a matter of convenience, although I am a businessman, but I also have no truth that the skin will be attached, if you can't keep it in the northwest, how can we survive in the troubled times?" ”

said it righteously, but Pei Ze really didn't believe a word! If it was just because of this, why bother to risk being counterattacked by the Wei family to save Yu Zhong. Wei Qi is the most narrow-minded, if he knows that someone dares to calculate him like this, he will have to let Zhuang Yan shed his skin if he doesn't die.

"The owner really has a good vision, no wonder it can achieve today's hegemony in all directions." Pei Ze praised lightly. "It's just that the Wei family is not easy to get along with, I can find you, naturally Wei Qi can also find out, you better do it yourself."

Zhuang Yan hugged his arms and tilted his head to look at him: "What?" General Pei made a special trip just to report to me? ”

Pei Ze didn't expect Zhuang Yan to be so vigilant, he just asked his doubts a little, Zhuang Yan was like a different person, it was really in vain to have a warm atmosphere that was hard to have just now. Pei Ze didn't want to stalemate with Zhuang Yan for one night, so he deliberately softened his voice: "You have saved my life, I will repay you, and I also want to remind you to be careful of the Wei family." ”

Zhuang Yan was silent, she hadn't taken the broken family in her eyes since she was born, what if they had monstrous power now, what they relied on was the emperor's favor, Wei Guifei was old and decrepit, even if it was properly maintained, how could she bounce for a few more years? She has never lacked patience, as long as someone can share Wei Guifei's favor, their sister and brother will have a way to win the Wei family in one fell swoop.

Zhuang Yan looked at Pei Ze coldly, feeling that this person didn't say a word that suited his mind from just now, he was really blind to be such a person, it was really not worth it, and he couldn't help but be a little disheartened, "Thank you for the general's reminder, but the general still has to find a way to get the title back first." "The Wei family is determined to get along with Pei Ze, and Chen Ge Lao has to avoid suspicion, except for a few clear streams, it is really strange that no one asks for credit for Pei Ze.

Although his tone was cold, he still cared about him in the end, Pei Ze thought to himself, but he seemed to have annoyed her, and it seemed that he still had to take some time to coax: "Are you worried that you won't be able to be Mrs. Hou after you get married?" ”

Zhuang Yan blushed with shame, and the corners of his mouth kept trembling with anger, what kind of person did he think he had! It's not for the Northwest Trade Road, it's for the sake of being Mrs. Hou, how could she save him without thinking of it, and go to great lengths to make Mrs. Tai happily book this family!

Pei Ze saw that Zhuang Yan's face was not good, and Fang Cai was indeed a little abrupt to her, and after thinking about it, he explained in a reasonable and orderly manner: "Don't worry, you suddenly helped many times, although I am grateful, I still have doubts." Our Pei family can maintain the status of a generational general, and has always been in charge of the military power in the northwest, because it has always been a pure minister and a lonely minister in the court, except for in-laws, rarely move around with ministers, so the emperors of previous dynasties can rest assured that they will hand over the military power to us. If you have ulterior motives, I will make it clear to you, draw a line, save your life, and I will find another way to repay him. ”

If you don't have other intentions, it's okay to use marriage as a plan. Pei Ze thought silently in his heart, this is the reason why he agreed to this marriage.

Zhuang Yan listened to his words, and gradually calmed down, "The general should have concerns, it's not me, there will be other people who will take action, it's just that we have a big family business from all over the world and a lot of people to feed, so we really can't afford to lose this war." Therefore, he will be more diligent than other merchants. ”

Pei Ze couldn't help but sigh: "Even you as a woman know the truth of cold lips and teeth, this time Xiliang is so persecuted, and Beiyan is ready to move, my Great Qin has long been in danger." ”

Thinking that the officials of the DPRK and China are arguing and deceitful every day in order to compete for the storage position, few of them can jump their eyes to the dispute between the three countries?

Zhuang Yan is really not an ordinary boudoir woman, she has the ability to break out of the world in Guanzhong, and she has extremely keen political foresight, which is not inferior to any daughter in Beijing.

At this time, he was really grateful to Mrs. Tai for her mistake, if there was a woman like Zhuang Yan sitting in the back house, he would have no worries in the previous dynasty.

Pei Ze's handsome face added a little smile, and said solemnly: "Zhuang Yan, it will be risky for you to marry me in the future, but I can guarantee that as long as I have one day, I will protect you." ”

This man's face changed faster than turning a book, Zhuang Yan slandered in his heart, and asked her with a cold face, and now he began to promise the future again, I really don't know whether to believe him or not.

Anyway, it's all your own fault, so let's gamble again!

Zhuang Yan nodded: "I believe in you." ”

Pei Ze didn't feel the slightest sincerity, it seemed that the suspicion just now really hurt her, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Don't worry, I won't interfere more when you deal with your property in the future, of course, these are earned by yourself, and they don't have to be included in the dowry, although I am jealous that you are rich and rival the country, but I am not greedy enough to ask for your things." Pei Ze looked at Zhuang Yan's finally somewhat fluctuating face with satisfaction, paused and said: "It is not easy for you to work hard outside as a concubine, and you are also constrained in the palace, and you will be in the mansion in the future, just like in Xi'an Mansion." ”

It seems that she has indeed checked herself, Zhuang Yan said in her heart, but such a promise really moved her, she originally thought that she could only pass the news vaguely in Pei's Mansion and Wangfuzhong, so that she wasted an unknown amount of time, but if she could take care of the industry openly and honestly like in Xi'an, she was confident, and she could earn a sum of silver that could be used by the Northwest Army to fight Ruru again!

Zhuang Yan looked at Pei Ze more and more pleasing to the eye at this time, and he deserved to have picked it himself! The open-mindedness is different from that of ordinary men nowadays, so he said: "Okay, I believe you!" "There is a lot more sincerity than the perfunctory words just now.

Pei Ze also laughed, he always thought that Zhuang Yan would not be a woman with a small belly, it seems that she is really as he expected, no longer cares about the unhappiness just now, but looks at their future.

However, Zhuang Yan couldn't figure it out: "How did you know that I saved you?" I consider myself meticulous and never leave a clue. ”

Pei Ze smiled disappreciatively: "You are extremely thoughtful, but everything will always leave traces, it only depends on whether people really care." On the day I set out on the expedition, I happened to see your carriage entering Beijing, and at first I didn't know that it was you who was sitting inside, but then I heard your voice, and I remembered. When your maid Bai Zhi lifted the curtain of the car, I saw you from afar, and I was still a little shocked at the time, the little boy in Liangzhou City who could make the shopkeeper of the Four Seas Inn bend his waist was actually a woman, and later found you in Xi'an along the four seas. ”

Zhuang Yan pondered for a moment and realized the reason for all this - Xi'an, investigation, the four seas, and people from the capital, presumably King Duan had the intention to reveal it!
