Chapter 169: The Return Trip

Jin Xiang was still a little surprised when he heard that his subordinates reported that the king was outside the courtyard, he already knew the news of the destruction of the Qin clan's city, and it was said that Pei Yuan should now deal with the follow-up matters in the Qin clan's capital, and he didn't know why he was here at this point.

Thinking about it, people still have to go out to greet him, Jin Xiang hurriedly went out of the room with a group of subordinates, and saw Pei Yuan and the four of them standing at the door and hurriedly greeted: "King Xian hasn't seen him for many days, he is really a rare guest of our Jin family." ”

"I'm really sorry to disturb the leader at this time, originally we set off from the capital early in the morning, but we stayed at the herdsman's house for a while, so we delayed the time." Pei Yuan returned the salute.

Jin Xiang beckoned a few people in, while instructing people to prepare food, and on the other hand, he instructed his subordinates to arrange accommodation for a few guests, Shen Jiahe took Liuyu and them to see the room where they stayed at night, and Pei Yuan followed Jin Xiang to his study alone.

Jin Xiang was busy before he had time to sit down Pei Yuan to speak: "I am really honored that King Xian can take time out of his busy schedule to come to me. ”

"The leader is polite, this king actually has nothing to do, and now each city-state has the previous captains guarding it, and we just sent some people to take charge of it, and with General Shi busy in front, this king can be lazy." Pei Yuan said with a smile.

Jin Xiang also laughed, it seemed that he was too worried, just coming and walking, but he was still a little surprised by Pei Yuan's words: "You actually left the Qin clan's city guard?" ”

Pei Yuan nodded, knowing that Jin Xiang had doubts, so he explained: "The captains of various city-states took the initiative to surrender with the people, and we should treat them well, and besides, we are not completely left alone, or ask the emperor to send someone down." ”

Speaking of this, Pei Yuan got up and arched his hand to Jin Xiang and said, "I haven't thanked the leader for the righteousness of this campaign, if it weren't for your previous tipping report, I'm afraid we would have been kept in the dark for a little longer." ”

Jin Xiang waved his hand and said indifferently: "King Xian is polite, I am also for my precious daughter, I am relieved to hear that she has lived with your brother in the capital." ”

"Naturally," Pei Yuan sat down at Jinxiang's signal and continued, "Pei Hao loves Princess Jintai, and he will not be willing to let her suffer the slightest grievance, please rest assured that the leader is." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the next person came to report that dinner had been prepared, and Jin Xiang took Pei Yuan to the main hall, and after a few people sat down, Jin Xiang also had the opportunity to take a good look at Shen Jiahe.

When he entered the door in a hurry, he didn't think that this girl was so amazing, but when he looked at it in the bright hall, he really deserved his daughter's praise for her.

Such a beauty, sitting with the Xianwang Pei Yuan, with a talented woman, thinking of the rumors sent back by the spies, Jin Xiang raised his glass and smiled at Shen Jiahe: "The princess does not let the eyebrows be bearded, which makes me admire very much, no wonder my daughter took the initiative to give up the Xianwang after seeing you, you are indeed a very powerful opponent." ”

"Lord Chief, don't say that, Princess Jintai has a beautiful appearance and moon appearance, how can I compare, it's just that Princess Jintai doesn't want to embarrass me." Shen Jiahe was shocked that he couldn't hold the cup in his hand, and Jintai's father spoke too bluntly, and he actually told Jintai and her in public.

Jin Xiang laughed: "I know my daughter, if she didn't really admire you, she wouldn't be like this at the beginning, but the princess is really powerful, this time Pei's battle, I know you have made a lot of efforts." ”

Shen Jiahe returned a glass of wine and said with a smile: "As a citizen of the Pei family, it is natural to make some efforts. ”

The day of return is just around the corner, Pei Yuan and they can't stay longer, stay overnight and return to the capital on the second day, Jin Xiang gave the two of them a unique jade Ruyi when they saw the two leave: "This jade Ruyi pattern is unique to our Jin family, I hope that Jin and Pei can be friends forever." ”

After Pei Yuan thanked him, he returned with the three of them, and the people sent by the emperor were already on the way, and General Shi had already made all the preparations, so he waited for the people to come.

A few days later, the Wenchen and Wuchen sent down met General Shi with the emperor's letter, and General Shi was relieved after reading the content of the letterhead, and Pei Yuan directly affirmed when he saw this: "The emperor agrees that you are always here?" ”

General Shi nodded, but thinking of his wife and children in the capital, he felt a little uneasy: "When you go back, help me take care of your aunt more, if the Shi family needs anything, please help." ”

"Uncle, don't worry, these are what I should do." Pei Yuan originally wanted to ask Shi Xiangyuan how his marriage should be, but now that the emperor has decided, it is better not to bother his uncle more.

In the past two days, Pei Yuan accompanied General Shi and the ministers who sent them down, and then personally sent General Shi to the border town, Shi Xiangjie looked at the dilapidated scene in front of him, and felt very sad: "I really can't figure out why my father is unwilling to go back to Beijing with us." ”

Pei Yuan watched General Shi's back slowly disappear into the city gate, and then patted Shi Xiangjie's shoulder and said, "When you roll in the court for a few more years, you will probably be able to understand your uncle." ”

The two of them went back to start rectifying the troops returning to Beijing, Shen Jiahe also took Liuyu to pack their bags back in the house, Liuyu packed his things well, and said with emotion: "I really miss the food in the palace, I have been out for so many days, I really haven't eaten a full meal." ”

Shen Jiahe sorted and folded the clothes, and said with a smile when he heard this: "It's not certain if you have anything to eat when you go back, be careful to eat the cold eyes of your father-in-law when you go back." ”

"Why?" Liuyu looked at Shen Jiahe in confusion.

Yuan Xu looked at Liuyu like an idiot and said, "You forgot how we came out, and you still want to go back for a big meal, why don't you want to die." ”

Liuyu slapped his head with a bitter face, how could he forget that they had secretly escaped from Father-in-law Fu at the beginning, thinking that Bai Ying was alone in the mansion to accept Father-in-law Fu's admonition, Liuyu began to feel a little sorry for Bai Ying.

Early in the morning of the second day, Shi Xiangjie opened the way in front, Pei Yuan took Shen Jiahe to follow, and the army began to return to the capital, this time it was different from before, there was no need to hide from spies, and there were people along the road who sent food, which was much more comfortable.

Halfway through the army, Shen Jiahe suddenly found that the jade pendant he often wore was missing, and he didn't look for it left and right, Pei Yuan turned sideways and asked her, "What did you lose?" ”

"That warm jade jade pendant, the rope is broken," Shen Jiahe pointed to Pei Yuan with the red rope broken in half on his waist, "I don't know when it fell, I'll take the Liuyu back to find it, it should be not far away." ”

Pei Yuan looked at the army in front of him, thought for a while, and ordered: "Yuanyang and Yuanxu follow the princess, if you can't find it, you will catch up tomorrow, remember!" ”

After Shen Jiahe agreed, he took the three of them back, the jade pendant was too small, and they didn't dare to ride too fast, for fear of missing something, all the way slowly to noon, Shen Jiahe looked at the big sun above his head, and beckoned the three of them: "Let's go to the inn next to us to rest first, I'm looking for it this afternoon, if I really can't find it, forget it." ”

A few people entered the inn, and Yuan Yang took the lead under the guidance of the innkeeper and sat down at the corner of the hall, ordering a pot of tea and a few snacks.

After Shen Jiahe entered the door, he saw a young man at a table not far from the window playing with a jade pendant, which looked very much like his own.

She didn't care that Yuan Yang greeted her from a distance, but moved closer to the direction of the man, and when she got closer, she could see it more clearly, and then she was sure that it was really the one she lost, and it was really the one she had lost and had nowhere to go, so it didn't take any effort to come, and she knew that she would come to the inn early to drink tea.

Shi Xiangjie knew that Shen Jiahe had lost something and went back to look for it, so he deliberately slowed down, Pei Yuan arched his hand gratefully at him, and was about to speak when he saw his secret guard flying over from a distance.

Intentionally putting the horse aside, Pei Yuan asked in a low voice, "Is there any movement?" ”

"Yes, the emperor's people are lying in ambush nearby, do you think you want the brothers to do it now?" The Dark Guard asked.

Pei Yuan shook his head: "There are too many people here, don't hurt the innocent, wait for me to talk to Shi Xiangjie, you guys get ready first." ”

The dark guard flew away, Pei Yuan took a few steps and walked a few steps to Shi Xiangjie's side: "It's not a thing to always drag your steps like this, if it's been a long time, it will leave a tongue for Yang Shuo, you take someone to go first, I'll stay directly and so on." ”

"Don't bother with that dog mongrel, it's fast on the road anyway, so it's okay to slow down." Shi Xiangjie glanced at Yang Shuo, a little unhappy.

Pei Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, just listen to me, we will be able to catch up soon, we will all go back to the capital, there is no need to argue with him over such a trivial matter." ”

Shi Xiangjie was a little worried, so he left a few people for him to use, and then took the rest of the soldiers to start speeding up.

Shen Jiahe had already determined that the thing was his own, so he stepped forward and said to the man: "The jade pendant in this brother's hand was accidentally left behind, thank you brother Tai for picking it up." ”

The young man looked at Shen Jiahe, then at the jade pendant in his hand, and snorted: "What you say is yours is yours?" What is the evidence? Even if this jade pendant is similar to yours, it is possible that there is no second jade pendant in the world. ”

Shen Jiahe looked around, it was noon at this time, there were many guests with dinner, and it was not easy to forcibly take it back, so he had to say patiently: "Brother Tai should have picked it up on Qinhuai Avenue, the rope I was holding the jade pendant was broken, and it fell on the road, if Brother Tai doesn't believe it, you can compare the red rope on the jade pendant with the red rope on my body, so that the truth can be revealed." ”

"In addition, this jade pendant is carved by my own family with a whole piece of warm jade, and there is naturally only this one in the world, and I will never admit it. If you don't believe me, I can draw the pattern and shape of this jade pendant on the spot, what do you think? ”

The young man was still quibbling: "What you say is yours is yours, what you carve yourself, what warm jade, you just talk nonsense, it's not because you see good things." ”

"Joke, it's hard for the princess to peek at this jade pendant, if it weren't for the different meaning of this jade pendant to the palace, what would it matter if the palace gave it to you!" Shen Jiahe didn't want to do anything, so he had to report his name.

Shen Jiahe's temperament suddenly turned to the side, which made the young man also pay attention to it, he stood up and looked Shen Jiahe up and down, and saw that Shen Jiahe's dress was too ordinary, not all of them said that all the royal people wore gold and silver, and this woman could see a little bit of the appearance of a royal person.

Looking at the man, he couldn't help laughing: "You dare to call yourself the palace, do you think that this is a country shop, we are all turtles who have never seen the world, I think that I can believe that I am a princess, if you look like a princess, then I am still the emperor!" ”

"So disrespectful to the emperor, you should be beaten!" Shen Jiahe stepped forward and slapped the man directly, and at the moment when he was stunned, he quickly took down the jade pendant in his hand, and then made up for a slap, "Privately occupy other people's property, and you can still speak cleverly if you have a voyeuristic heart, you should be beaten!" ”

The man was slapped twice in public, and his mind was exposed, and he was annoyed and angry at the moment, and he pounced on him to fight with Shen Jiahe, but was stopped by Liuyu in time: "There are dog things that don't know Taishan, and you dare not return our princess's things, it's really bold." ”

After a few clicks, the person was leveled, but the table was damaged a lot, Yuan Yang hurriedly took the initiative to take out the silver and pay it to the store, but the idea of drinking tea was gone, Shen Jiahe had to take the three of them to leave to chase Pei Yuan.
