Chapter Eighty-Six: Dungeon Shocks (Three Watches)
"Haha..."A hint of cunning flashed in Yuan Zhen's eyes,
"Dayan took advantage of the chaos to capture Xiangyang, and the Dahuan army retreated to Jingling, and Jingling was captured by our brother from Pei Yan. Although Yun Lingbo and Pei Yan have a master-apprentice relationship, Pei Yan is just as jealous of him. ”
A trace of horror flashed in Jiang Mei's eyes when she heard this, she suppressed the fluctuations in her heart, remained silent on the surface, and continued to question: "Don't lie to me, Yun Lingbo and Pei Yan's son Pei Jingsheng are like brothers, they are both generals brought out by Pei Yan, how could Pei Yan be willing to do it to his disciples?" Jiang Mei really couldn't think of Pei Yan's motive for hurting Yun Lingbo.
"Yun Lingbo has a very high reputation in Xiangyang, and he has made great achievements, and he is a great threat to Xiakou downstream, Pei Yan wants to get Jingxiang, Pei Yun can be the prime minister in the court, and it is also because of his presence in Xiakou, we have been fighting with him openly and secretly for so many years, and his occupation of Xiakou is like a sharp knife stuck in us, making us unable to move." Yuan Zhen said hatefully, "If Emperor Xiao hadn't removed Pei Fu's official position and replaced Xie Tinglin with him, we wouldn't have had a chance to do it." ”
Jiang Mei chuckled inwardly: "It's just to lure the snake out of the hole that I used this trick." ”
Yuan Zhen continued: "Pei Yan is an old fox, and it is inconvenient for him to do it himself, so he led us to assist Pei Yun to make a move. He suddenly stared at Jiang Mei and said in a deep voice: "I think the national seal in Yun Lingbo's hand should have been obtained by Pei Yan!" ”
Jiang Mei smiled when he wanted her to divert her attention: "Since you refuse to tell the truth, then don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
Yuan Zhen saw that she refused to believe him, and hurriedly said: "What I said is the truth, what else do you want from me?" If we had the national seal in our hands, would we have waited until now? ”
Jiang Mei naturally knew this, and just continued to use his words, "Then what can Pei Yan do with the national seal?" ”
"Maybe he also wants to seek power and usurp the throne?" Yuan Zhen sneered, "However, after his son died, he was disheartened, and it is unknown whether he might have given up. ”
Jiang Mei thought about it and still didn't believe it, "Why are you sure that Pei Yan harmed Yun Lingbo?" ”
"Because he is the only one who has the ability and the opportunity." Yuan Zhen stared at Jiang Mei's eyes and replied categorically.
"How so?" Jiang Mei asked rhetorically.
Yuan Zhen turned sideways and replied: "Many of Yun Lingbo's generals are also Pei Yan's cronies, my brother was in Jiangzhou at that time, Pei Yun was in Yuzhou, if Yun Lingbo really got the national seal, the only one who might know the news was Pei Yan who lived in Xiakou." As for why Pei Yan did this? He turned his head to look at Jiang Mei, "I'm afraid the girl has to ask him personally." ”
Jiang Mei's eyes narrowed into a slit, and she looked at him for a long time, thinking carefully about how true his words were. However, what he said is absolutely correct, that is, Pei Yan must be inseparable.
She remembered the scene that had been engraved in her mind for more than ten years, "Live well, and don't trust others lightly..." The last image imprinted in her mind was Yun Lingbo's smiling, relieved and resolute voice looking at her.
"Don't trust others lightly...."Jiang Mei muttered inwardly, "Could it be that you mean Pei Yan?" ”
Jiang Mei took out a pill and handed it to Yuan Zhen, "This is the antidote, I will go to Xiakou, if what you said is right, I will definitely save your son Yuan Tao's life!" ”
Yuan Zhen took the pill and swallowed it without looking at it, "The girl must keep her promise." He suddenly said strangely: "Does the girl really want the national seal or does she have another purpose?" ”
Jiang Mei looked at him coldly and did not answer.
"Who are you sacred?" Yuan Zhen squinted at her and said.
"You'll know someday, but if you live to that day." Jiang Mei glanced at him with a smile and turned to leave.
Yuan Zhen grabbed the pillar of the cell with her hand, looking at her back as she gradually moved away, was there still anyone who wanted to ask about what happened fourteen years ago?
After Jiang Mei returned to the General's Mansion, she immediately asked Jiuzhu to send a message to Yiyun Pavilion and let people secretly investigate Pei Yan's news. It's just that after tossing this night, she is extremely tired.
Early the next morning, Jiang Mei leaned against the carriage outside the general's mansion with her tired body, waiting for Mu Xiao, who was still polite to Gao Chi. Yu Qi and Hua Ying stood aside and did not speak.
"The general is busy with affairs, so he doesn't have to send each other." Mu Xiaohe pushed back again.
"The prince is polite, the prince is noble, and it is rare to come to Jiangzhou, so he should be sent to the ferry." Gao Chi still said enthusiastically.
Jiang Mei really couldn't see the two of them so polite, she was too lazy to stretch her waist, and interjected casually: "Otherwise, the general will be sent outside the city gate, so it will be the whole way of host and guest." ”
Gao Chi saw that her face was not good, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, "Just follow the girl's words." ”
So they shared a carriage, and Jiang Mei let Yinxin sit in the carriage with her because of her poor health, and the others all rode horses with her.
"Didn't the girl sleep well last night?" Yu Qi glanced at Jiang Mei's dark eye bags and said worriedly.
Jiang Mei replied embarrassedly: "Maybe there are some choices, right?" ”
Mu Xiaohe was a little surprised, "The girl has been traveling the rivers and lakes, doesn't she sleep well every day?" He looked at Jiang Mei's weak body, and after thinking about it, it was no wonder.
Seeing this, Gao Chi hurriedly explained: "Last night, there was an autumn cat that kept chirping on the eaves of the west courtyard, which may have disturbed the girl's Qingxu. He pretended to apologize, and then he added: "However, since ancient times, it was difficult for doctors to heal themselves, and the girl still took care of her own body." ”
Mu Xiao and Wen Yan deeply agreed, he stared at Jiang Mei and conveyed the same meaning with his eyes.
Jiang Mei just smiled at the corner of her mouth, nodded in thanks, and didn't say anything. How could she not understand what Gao Chi meant. Last night's news gave her too much shock, if Pei Yan was really the culprit back then, then what should she do? What's more, Pei Yanren is about to die, can he be let go lightly?
Jiang Mei thought of these splitting headaches, and in order not to worry others, she had to close her eyes and rest on her initiation.
But after a while, the carriage arrived at the gate of the city, and Jiang Mei was already asleep at this time, and Mu Xiaohe and Yu Qi got out of the carriage gently, tacitly not disturbing her.
"Gao is waiting here for the triumph of the prince and Pei Xiang!" Gao Chi bowed his hand.
"I have to work hard for the general to continue to help, say goodbye, take care of the general!" Mu Xiao replied.
In the end, Yu Qi just nodded to Gao Chi, and the three of them said goodbye here, Mu Xiaohe was afraid of disturbing Jiang Mei, so he chose to ride to the ferry, and Yu Qi had to ride his horse with him.
Mu Xiaohe jumped on a white horse with a slight step, riding the horse in the front, looking outstanding and handsome from a distance.
And Yu Qiyi sat like a green pine in a green shirt, faintly calm.
Gao Chi sat on the horse, watching the carriage and horses go farther and farther, admiring the peerless demeanor of the two, while worrying about Jiang Mei's situation and body. Until he could no longer see the carriage, he rode around and drove straight back to the general's mansion. (To be continued.) )
