Chapter 34: The Past
"This one is my Liang Yuzhou Assassin History, General of the Auxiliary State, Pei Yuanming, the son of Yiling County!" On the side of the oasis, under the sand dunes, Chen Qing's voice was like thunder, shaking Pei Guo to stagger: "Your father Pei Zun is the younger brother of Yuanming's father-in-law!" ”
"Pei Di Pei Yuanming... The history of the Liang Yuzhou thorn... My uncle-in-law? He, he, he... How did you end up in the Southern Dynasty? Pei Guo's face was hazy, and he muttered in disbelief: "Why have you never heard my mother mention it?" ”
"I'm afraid that there are some things in the past, and your parents don't want to mention them again... Chen Qingzhi touched the short mustache on his lips and said, "I heard Yuanming tell me about the old things in the Wei Kingdom, so I know about your family affairs. I came here this time, one is to see Anapu, and the other is that I was entrusted by the Duke of Yuanming to come to Wuchuan to find your traces... ”
"Looking for me? But why? ”
"Yuan Ming Gong and your father have a very strong relationship, since they entered the Southern Dynasty, they have been separated from each other, and they have been thinking about it all the time. Later, I found people to inquire in many ways, only to find out that your father had a falling out with the clan and went to Wuchuan. When you don't want to send people to Wuchuan to look for it, your father has already died of illness, leaving only your orphan and widow. Yuan Minggong wept bitterly, and he couldn't think about it, and he was doubly worried about you, his own nephew. . . This time, I happened to be ordered to come to Mobei, so I asked me to look for you by the way. ”
Pei Guo narrowed his eyes: "Then Pei Di... Yuan Minggong and I have never met, why is this? ”
"Actually... Chen Qingzhi sighed and said slowly: "Actually, your father fell out with the clan for the sake of Yuan Minggong... Every time Yuan Minggong thought of this, he deeply blamed himself, saying that he was so tired that his brother fell into the border and went away... Therefore, Chang Si can one day get together with his nephew and treat you well, which can be regarded as doing his best for your father... ”
Pei Guo felt goosebumps all over his body stand up--- he remembered that when he was a child, whenever he asked why Yeye Amu's mother left the Central Plains and migrated to Wuchuan, the two of them were at a loss and didn't want to talk in detail... Today, I realized that there is such a story here. When Pei Guo heard this, he was willing to give up and asked, "What happened at the beginning?" Can you explain more? ”
"You can't do it." Chen Qingzhi nodded: "I'm going to talk to you about this past... So he talked about it for a long time.
It is said that in the past, after Pei Shuye raised Shouyang to join Wei, he died of illness soon after, and the family immediately moved north. The two brothers Pei Di and Pei Zun belong to Pei Shuye's cousins, and they are also among them. When he arrived in Luoyang, Pei Di was full of talent and won the weight of Emperor Wei at that time, and he was appointed as Situ Peng's subordinate. But Pei Di was concerned about the Southern Dynasty Huaxia Zhengshuo, and saw that Xiao Yan raised troops to attack Jiankang, replaced Xiao Baojuan, the Marquis of Qi State, and established the Liang Dynasty, and he could no longer hold back the heart of returning to the south. So he invited the army to go south to Shouyang, and after some careful planning, he finally managed to escape back to Liang a year later.
Pei Di entered the Liang Dynasty, and was immediately reused by the Liang Emperor Xiao Yan, who first served as the Taishou of Lujiang, and defeated the invading Wei army that year. After that, he led the army to attack Wei, and captured Yangshi City, Huoqiu City, Liangcheng and many other places, and his prestige was greatly shocked. A few years later, Pei Di showed his skills in the Liang Wei Zhongli War, helping the commander Wei Rui, a famous general of the Southern Dynasty, break through the 200,000 Wei army, and was awarded the title of Yiling County for his merits.
Pei Di was prosperous in the Liang Dynasty, but he didn't want to suffer his brother Pei Zun who stayed in the north--- it turned out that when Pei Di planned to return to the south, most of Pei's children had already won high-ranking officials and lords in the Northern Dynasty, and they were all happy. Pei Di thought about his uncertain future, and didn't want to ruin his brother's future in Wei, but the plan to return to the south was not even told by Pei Zun, so he left. As a result, Emperor Wei Yuanke learned that Pei Di had defected, and in anger, he demoted the Pei family and punished him heavily. Although most of them were later reinstated, the children of the Pei family hated Pei Zun very much, and they were even more angry with Pei Zun, not to mention giving Pei Zun small shoes everywhere, and asking Pei Zun to admit that he would not recognize Pei Zun's brother from now on.
Pei Zun was arrogant, refused to lose his backbone, and did not allow others to insult his brother, and finally fell out with the clan and ran away from home. But he also complained about Pei Di in his heart, why couldn't he clearly inform him of his plans at the beginning, didn't he believe his brother? In indignation, Pei Zun didn't want to go south to Pei Kui, so he simply went all the way north, and then went to Wuchuan. Later, Pei Zun married his wife Wei and gave birth to Pei Guo, and lived a happy life. However, every time he thought of the past, he was depressed after all, and he refused to tell Pei Guo about it.
After Pei Di gained a firm foothold in Daliang, he sent someone to find Pei Zun, but he returned in vain. Today, Pei Di is already a square town in Daliang, leading the history of Yuzhou, guarding Hefei, the gateway of Liang, and confronting Shouyang, an important town in the south of Wei. But my brother has passed away, and every time I think of it, I can't cry.
By mistake, in fact, the brothers who think about each other are separated forever, which is a pity.
After listening to this, Pei Guo was stunned, his heart was confused, and he didn't know what to say. Jiuzhen was beside him, and he also sighed for a long time and sighed with emotion.
At this time, Chen Qingzhi opened his mouth again, and his voice was like a bell: "Pei Langjun!" You are a descendant of the Chinese Gaomen clan, and your flesh and blood relatives are looking forward to it in the Southern Dynasty, why do you still have to admit that you are a Huyi Wei person? It's better to return south with us and be an upright Chinese citizen from now on! ”
Pei Guo was surprised, and said: "I, I, I... I... I have never been to the Southern Dynasty, how can you leave the place where I was born and raised just by your words? ”
Chen Qingzhi snorted and said, "Could it be that you think that the Southern Dynasties are all Wen Tian and martial artists?" I won't talk about others, just look at Chen Gui! In your heart before, Chen Gui was crude and unbearable, greedy for money and power, but in fact, he traveled thousands of miles to seek benevolence and benevolence, and he was a true and honest loyal man! There are as many such characters in my Southern Dynasty, and they are all literary and romantic, otherwise why would Yuan Minggong give up the near and far and desperately return to the south? On the other hand, you Hu Yi Northern Dynasty, the dynasty is chaotic, obscene and dirty, and the six towns here are even more lifeless, and the people are not living! You say, "Why don't you wait with me to return south?" ”
Jiuzhen even claimed to be true when he heard it, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked forward to it, staring at Pei Guo fiercely.
Pei Guo looked at Chen Qingzhi, and then at Chen Jiuzhen, who was as glamorous as a fairy, and for a while, too many thoughts lingered in his heart, and he felt that he was in a trance. Yaye's face flashed back in front of him, and in an instant turned into another similar but unfamiliar face, his eyes looked at him, full of anticipation, that... Is it Uncle Pei Di? There are many faces that keep emerging, the Black Otter Brothers, the Heba Brothers, the Big and Small Hou Mo Chen... Yuwen's bright and beautiful face is always earnest, and in the end, it is the elegant and tall Wei Niangzi, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, just as she saw when she was a child.
Thoughts are like turning over the river and the sea, rolling endlessly, in the eyes of Chen Qingzhi and Jiuzhen, Pei Guo has always been silent. Jiuzhen wanted to speak several times and stopped, but Chen Qingzhi was calm and relaxed, and looked up at the sky leisurely.
After a long time, Pei Guo finally shook his head and said word by word: "The matter is big, and it can't be decided at once!" No matter what I do, I always have to go back to Wuchuan first, and then I will talk about it when I see my mother! ”
In Jiuzhen's eyes, a little disappointment flashed, and he smiled reluctantly and said, "That's right." It's been a long time since you came out, so I can't help but worry your grandmother. ”
Chen Qingzhi nodded: "Since this is the case, it is better to separate from each other." Pei Langjun, you go back to Wuchuan, I will wait for the loss of grain and cloth, and there is no point in going north, so I should return to the south by myself. ”
Pei Guo was a little strange: "Chen Zhi wants to return to the south, and Wuchuan is the nearest smooth road, why not join me?" ”
Chen Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I'm already evil to Wuchuan Town, so it's better to take a detour, so as not to make waves again." ”
Pei Guo said "oh" to show that he understood, and then arched his hand and said: "Since this is the case, just... Say goodbye! "I looked at Jiuzhen with a dead eye, and my heart was full of reluctance, as if I had lost something since then... But once the idea of going back to see Wei Niangzi emerged, it could not be contained after all, and there was no hesitation at the moment, taking the horses, dry food, and water prepared by Liang for him, jumped on the horse, and flew away.
Behind him, Jiu Zhen's eyes were gloomy, and he chased his back for a long distance. Chen Qingzhi suddenly raised his breath and shouted: "Don't forget, Yuan Minggong is still waiting for you in Hefei, if you think about it, you can return south at any time!" ”
The sound of the horse's hooves slowed down, but it never stopped, and it was far away. . .
