Chapter 04 Short-handedness

Three days ago.

Hedong Wenxi Pei's family.

Pei Na, dressed in military uniform, went to collect the letter as usual. I got a letter, covered with the seal of the Jinyang General's Mansion, and the flying pigeon passed the book.

didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly handed it over to the brother who was in charge of the house-

The famous "iron mask" Pei Guang.

The siblings entered the inner room, pried open the seal, and took out the letters.

The dragon pattern on the inscription indicates that the sender is an old friend - the former head of the Pei family and the current "crow military division".

The contents of this seemingly homely letter need to be declassified.

This is also a little trick that the three of them often play when they are still together.

Pei Guang finally extracted the hidden content that night: for the next step of the Gao family's plan, Pei Guang needed to take the lead in lurking in Luoyang, as an internal response, waiting for the opportunity to subvert the throne.

After reading it, he burned it, ordered preparations on the spot, and finally arrived at the imperial capital two days later.

——————————

Time back to morning.

Outside the East Gate of Luoyang.

A group of men and horses were marching towards the city gates.

Although it is not an organized army, the neat and uniform ranks have shown that this group of people is well-trained.

If the flag is not raised and the logo is displayed, it should be a private placement or a family soldier.

Famous name, unique, high-ranking family, Wen Xi Pei family.

"Brother, we'll be able to see Xiao Jue soon, right?" Dressed in red and leather armor, with a tall head and a big horse, sat the lady in charge Pei Na.

"What a little Jue Xiao Jue, no big or small." The man who is called his brother wears a mask made of black iron. "Today, he is under one man."

Two horses lead the team in parallel.

From afar, the majestic Luoyang City.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the city, I encountered two hard ideas at the Fuyuan Inn where I was about to stay.

Yang Ying came out with both hands, his right hand sealed Pei Na's weapon with the hilt of the knife, and his left hand threatened her life with a dagger.

And all of this is in Pei Guang's eyes.

Pei Na didn't want to lose her temper in front of her subordinates, and held back her tears.

But Pei Guang knew that she was crying and went upstairs.

It's no wonder that Pei Na has been pampered since she was a child, and she was allowed to compete with him.

If you are not good at learning and are bullied, you deserve it.

But bullying the Pei family is another matter.

"Uncle Pei, take care of Miss, I'll go out a little."

Pei Guang picked up the sword and walked out.

The wind, ruffled the hem of his clothes.

It also brushed his cold iron face.

——————————

"Xiao Ling, you're walking too fast, wait for me." Yang Ying was thrown away from afar, and could only chase after him.

Yan Muling finally stopped and waited for him to catch up, but he still pouted and was angry.

"Xiao Ling...... "Yang Ying can be regarded as catching up." Where are you going? "Take a breath.

"Brother Shadow! Why are you always looking for other women! Da Xibing forget it, I admit that she is more beautiful and charming than me, but you also maintain a strange woman? ”

"Me? Who else am I defending besides you? Shadow was asked, and her eyes widened.

I really don't understand what Xiao Ling means.

In Yang Ying's eyes, God gave him this sister, which is unique.

Although Xiao Ling is the adopted daughter of her mentor Yan Buhui, she has never publicized and bought her identity, on the contrary, she has always practiced martial arts as hard as her brothers in the military mansion.

The real one is a good girl with martial arts and courage that is not lost to anyone.

Her sword skills are stronger than those of many men, and she has whip skills that can rival those of her mentor.

As everyone knows, the training of soft weapons and short weapons requires more effort.

It is a difficult road that ordinary people can't imagine, and it even requires a never-say-die born stubbornness.

It is precisely because Yang Ying knows better than anyone that in her heart, there is a power that no one can resist, so she hopes that she can always be by her side.

Yang Ying smiled in her heart, I share weal and woe with you, how can I not defend you?

Unfortunately, now is not the time to explain.

"Brother Shadow knows it's wrong, so let's go ahead and pick two of your favorite sugar people! I'm a treat, and it's an apology. Yang Ying took out a silver ingot from his arms and stuffed it into Xiao Ling's palm.

"Oh yes!" Xiao Ling's eyes flashed. "Alright! I'll forgive you one last time, and I'll bring you one back later! He took the silver and quickly and dexterously squeezed into the crowd in front of him.

From childhood to adulthood, this trick has always been very good.

Yang Ying watched Yan Muling's back disappear, and then turned around and said coldly: "Come out, I've been following for so long, it's been hard." ”

Three darts are shot from three different angles.

Yang Ying's dagger flashed, and there were two crisp sounds.

The last Death Dart is jammed with the gauntlet and scabbard of the Treasure Knife.

"It's not going to be like that, is it?"

A sword stabbed without a hint of hesitation.

Yang Yingdan's sheath was pointed out, and the sword light was dazzling, protecting the figure and illuminating all the confusion.

I saw the blade of the sword turning, energetic in agility, and there was no hesitation in a hook and a draw.

Yang Ying stabbed back with a dagger, not giving in a single step.

The black cuffs were cut, and sparks erupted from the blades.

A jet-black chain like a spirit snake probe, bypassing the crowd and coming head-on.

"Die!" The echo is like steel on the ground.

Soldiers are coming! Yang Ying opened his eyes, the fierce light in his pupils broke through, and the dagger pierced through a ring, blocking the chain in front of him.

actually resolved the "poisonous snake spitting letters", not an idle person.

"Who the hell are you?" The hoarse voice pierced through the steel mask, standing tall in the mediocre crowd, the wind blowing, as if it had been waiting here, never moving.

"A nameless pawn." Yang Ying held both long and short, without the slightest trace.

"Why did you come to Luoyang?"

"Probably the same purpose as you."

"Since you have already found out, why did you deliberately break away from that eight-sided girl?" Isn't it more cost-effective to fight two to one?

"Didn't you bring the girl in red with you?"

It was useless to say more, and the iron armor turned to leave, only to hear a sentence from afar:

"If we see each other next time, it may be on the battlefield."

"Hmm." Yang Ying was silent.

"Brother Shadow! Do you know who I bought? Yan Muling jumped back to Yang Ying's side. Do you know these two sugar men? ”

The market is still bustling and bustling, as usual. As if nothing had happened just now.

"Xiao Ling, let's go." Yang Ying felt that the murderous aura gradually faded away, and then put the knife back into its sheath.

"Brother Shadow, what's wrong?" No matter what Yan Muling said, he was also a person who practiced martial arts, and he was vaguely aware of the abnormality.

"It's nothing, let's go......"

"Oh......" Xiao Ling was very well-behaved, followed closely behind him, and didn't ask any more.

only grabbed the two sugar men in his hands, one was Ma Chao. One is Xu Chu.

——————————

When Pei Guang returned to the hotel, the night also slowly fell.

He was greeted by Pei Na's embrace.

"Brother, you're going to be angry for me again......"

Pei Guang just caressed her silky hair lovingly.

"You've been like this since you were a kid."

Yes, from childhood to adulthood, every time Pei Na was wronged, no matter what the reason, Pei Guang would go out to settle accounts for her.

Never defeated.

And from small to large.

This is not an exaggeration at all, and the memories of her brother protecting her even exceed the memories of why he wore a mask.

In her memory, she had never seen her brother's true face under steel.

It's as if her brother has put on that mask since she had a memory.

I don't know if it's true, as the rumors say, he has a peerless face.

Or, as he himself said, ugly, afraid to frighten everyone.

But what does it matter?

She only knew that under the cold iron mask, there was a gentle and warm brother.

That's enough.

This kind of feeling, very subtle, very strange, obviously more like liking, but tied by blood.

No matter what she did was right or wrong, as long as she was bullied, even if she was not hurt in the slightest, this iron-masked brother would help her mercilessly and beat her back.

Many times, in fact, Pei Na knows in her heart that she blames herself for being willful, or greedy for play, which leads to poor learning.

But my brother never asked so much.

There was only a faint "I'll go out for a while." ”

All the problems and then they went away.

The only thing I remember is that he has an iron face on his face, a heavy chain wrapped around his left arm, and a long sword at his waist.

These three things seem to have grown on him, as early as in the training day and night, as if they have been integrated with his brother and become an inseparable part of his body.

"It's heavy, isn't it? Won't you take it off? "I also had the courage to ask.

"It's safe to attack and defend." He raised his strong arms.

"This mask is heavy, isn't it? Won't you take it off? "I also had the courage to ask.

This time he didn't answer, just hung his head silently.

I couldn't see his expression.

At that moment, I don't know if he was crying, laughing, sad, happy, helpless, or proud......

A wealthy lady who has never left the background of the family, the wings of the family, and the protection of her brother, finally found that if she wanted to understand him, her experience was not enough.

There seem to be 10,000 possibilities and 10,000 uncertainties.

Only that kindness and loyalty are within reach.

But the face touched by the fingertips was only the ice of steel.

I don't know when I started, I only anxiously hoped for his safe return, and never expected anything to raise my eyebrows.

Laugh at me! Although he deliberately wore a military uniform, he couldn't hide a daughter's heart.

"Brother, it's great that you're back!" She decided not to hang it around his neck.

"I'm fine, don't worry." It wasn't until he patted his sister's back that the girl was willing to relax.

"The other party was beaten to the ground again, kneeling and begging for mercy, right?"

This time, my brother unusually did not respond.

Pei Na, who was as delicate as a flower, was also stunned.

After a long time, Pei Guang only replied: "The world is so big, and it is really as good as a cloud...... This mission may not be as simple as imagined......"

A dull voice echoed through the mask.

Pei Na secretly decided: This time, it's my turn to protect my brother!
