On September 21 of the sixth year of Daliang, around the time of Shen, Chen Qingzhi, Jiuzhen, Pei Guo and Yang Zhong arrived at the city of Hefei.

The city is two feet high, surrounded by seven gates, and there is a south water through the city.

Although Pei Guo was depressed, after all, it was the first time in his life that he set foot on the land of the Southern Dynasties, and his curiosity aroused, and he couldn't help but squint to see it. I saw that the city wall of Hefei is high and thick, the watchtower is huge, the pheasant moat and the female wall are complete, and the wall has more enemy platforms and horse faces prominent; The moat was dug very wide, the living water was agitated, the water was unstoppable, and when it went inside, a sheep and horse wall was tightly fortified. Enter the city gate, you can see the urn city is like that, and there are hidden soldier holes, jack gates, secret doors... And so on. Finally into the urn city, through the inner door, I thought I could get a glimpse of the city, a look, it turned out that Hefei has an inner city...

There is no need to see the layout of the guards in the city, or how the guards in the city are spirited, a single city wall system, this Hefei has been called a strong city in the world, no wonder his uncle Pei Di based on this, not only can repeatedly thwart the Wei invasion, but also often go north to attack.

Chen Qingzhi was beside him, and when he saw Pei Guo looking carefully, he smiled and said, "This is all the hard work of Uncle Yuan Minggong for many years!" ”

Pei Guo's eyes lit up, and Yang Zhong also praised him.

About this Hefei is located on the border between the two countries, the war is endless, there are few people outside the city, and the fields are mostly deserted. When he entered the city, Pei Guo saw that people were coming and going, but most of them were soldiers.

Even so, the atmosphere of the Southern Dynasties was different from that of the North. Especially compared with the border places such as the Six Towns, the people who come and go meet and salute, and the walking is orderly, which seems much more elegant and quiet. Yang Zhong sighed: "The bearing of the Southern Dynasty is really extraordinary, that is, passers-by can see it. ”

Pei Guo also remembered that when his father was there, although he lived in the bitter cold of Wuchuan, he still studied every day, and his demeanor was elegant. My heart moved, and I secretly wondered: I don't know what my uncle looks like, what his temperament is, and whether he is similar to Yeye...

。。。。。。

When he entered the inner city, someone had already greeted him and said: "Let Jun Wen Chen return from his work, he is overjoyed, and he will wait for him in the Thorn Mansion early, please come with me." ”

Chen Qingzhi returned the salute, then led everyone to follow, and soon arrived at the Yamen of the Assassin History. There was a guard at the door who stepped forward, obviously knew Chen Qingzhi, greeted him with a smile, and even had to investigate the seal letter, meticulously, and let everyone in only after seeing that it was correct. Pei Guo and Yang Zhong glanced at each other, and they both thought: Uncle (Pei Di) is very strict in managing the army!

As soon as he stepped into the inner hall, he heard someone say loudly: "Ziyun (Chen Qingzhi's cousin) is here, good!" The voice is obviously high-pitched, but for some reason, he is disgusted with anger inside.

Pei Guo raised his eyes and couldn't help but be shocked--- the person who spoke in the hall had three locks of long beards, a white and handsome face, and he looked seven or eight points similar to his late father Pei Zun, but his face was more square, and he was not angry and arrogant. There is no need for anyone to identify him, Pei Guo knows that this must be his own uncle, Pei Di Pei Yuan, the assassin of Yuzhou, the general of the auxiliary state, and the son of Yiling County.

Chen Qingzhi is just engaged in the clerical work under the account of the Yuzhou Thorn History, but it is obviously irreversible with the Thorn Shi Pei Di. When the two met, Chen Qingzhi finished saluting first, and then Pei Di strode forward, grabbed his hand, laughed, and said angrily: "Ziyun is going to the north here, and after a long time, the desert is exposed to the wind and sun, and there are swords and swords, which is really hard." ”

Chen Qingyi smiled, lowered his voice and said, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." As he spoke, he squeezed his eyebrows and smiled, and he continued to pout in the direction of Pei Guo.

Pei Di understood, and his voice was also lowered: "Ziyun should not be modest, this time the six towns of Suolu were in chaos, and the southeast, south, and northwest of the country were all in chaos, hehe, Ziyun made a great contribution in it." ”

With Pei Di's praise, Chen Qingzhi also felt self-contained, smiled so hard that he let it aside.

The two voices were too quiet, Pei Guo couldn't hear it clearly, not to mention that he looked at Pei Di in his eyes, vaguely as if he had seen his father, and at this time, his mind was full of the figure of his father before his death, and he was confused and chaotic for a while.

"Good nephew! I'll see you at last! ”

Pei Di's voice was low, with three points of excitement, three points of joy, and three points of embarrassment, which made Pei Guo feel excited, and suddenly woke up from reverie.

The four eyes met, and Pei Di let out a long sigh: "Sure enough, it was carved out of the same mold as my brother Zun." You... suffered. Speaking of this, he couldn't help it, raised his hands and put them on Pei Guo's shoulders, choked up for a while, and couldn't continue.

Pei Di was just a simple sentence, a single action, Pei Guo felt a lot of feelings in his heart, and a strong blood affection arose. At that moment, he knelt down and shouted: "Uncle is above, little nephew Pei Guo has seen it." ”

"Good! Good! Good! Pei Di said three good words in a row, helped Pei Guo up, and looked at it carefully for a long time, then he reluctantly let go of his hand and said: "Guo'er will stay in my house today." There are so many things that I am going to talk to you about one by one. ”

Pei Guo had nothing to do, and he gave another salute and also let go of the side.

It should be that Chen Qingzhi had a letter sent to Hefei earlier, and he had told Pei Di in advance, so Pei Di also knew Yang Zhong. At this time, he stepped forward to offer some encouragement, with sincere words and a kind tone, such as an elder talking to a nephew. Yang Zhong listened to it in his ears, felt at ease, and nodded his head again and again.

In the end, it was Chen Jiuzhen's turn.

Pei Di is a high-ranking and powerful person, and he is Pei Guo's father and uncle, so all the way he talked, others saluted him. Only when he came to Jiuzhen, he didn't wait for Jiuzhen to give a salute, Pei Di actually rushed to make a move, which frightened Jiuzhen at a loss, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and muttered: "Make you like this, torture Jiuzhen!" ”

"Jiuzhen Xiaoniang deserves Pei Di's gift!" Pei Di said with a smile: "Even if I am a man of my generation, how many of them can go to the country and perform miraculous feats?" Jiuzhen is not a member of our army, but he has a heart of loyalty to the country, and he does not let his eyebrows be shaved with women, which is really admirable. Pei Di is just a light salute, and he can't bother Jiuzhen Xiaoniang, haha! ”

Jiuzhen turned his worries into joy, smiling.

Pei Di summoned the soldiers of the Liang Army who went to the six towns with him, comforted them one by one, and rewarded them on the spot. I haven't seen him for a long time, and he can still recognize the name of half of the Thai people, and the soldiers of the Zhijiao have tears in their eyes, and they feel that the sacrifice in the past two years is worth it!

It was not early, Pei Di prepared a banquet early, and invited Chen Qingzhi, Jiuzhen, Pei Guo, Yang Zhong, and all the soldiers who went to the six towns together.

The wine and food came up, but there were only a few dishes, very little meat, and the wine was only a little structure, and it looked very simple. Under Chen Qingzhi, all the soldiers seemed to know this, and they did not change when they saw the strangeness, and they still ate lively.

When Pei Guo and Yang Zhong secretly looked, it turned out that Pei Di himself was eating the same way, no different from ordinary pawns. Thinking that Pei Di is like this on weekdays, Pei Guo nodded secretly: The boss and the soldiers eat and share hardships, although the coarse wine and bran vegetables, are they not willing to eat? If your uncle is like this, he will win the hearts of the army.

After a simple meal, everyone dispersed. Pei Di specially granted everyone a ten-day holiday, and made all the soldiers cry with gratitude.

Chen Qingzhi took Jiuzhen to leave, and Yang Zhong stayed in the house to rest. As for Pei Guo, he took a bath to wash away the wind and dust, and then waited for Pei Di to talk to him.
