Pei Zilie heard Xiao Shilian's tone a little unkind before, and he was still worried in his heart, I don't know what the eldest son of the Xiao family means when he comes to the door, but now he sees that Xiao Shilian is daughter is red, this sincerity can be seen, and Pei Zilie is also relieved.

If he came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, he shouldn't have made such a bold move, and he didn't even need to bring anything to the door. What's more, Pei Zilie also has a clear conscience, and there are no private conflicts and contradictions with Xiao Maha, at most, he has had a dispute with Xiao Maha because of differences of opinion on the command of the army, and Pei Zilie also believes that Xiao Maha should not be the kind of person who privately defends public revenge.

Most of Pei Zilie's expression changes fell in Li Xinchen's eyes, and he couldn't help but be secretly amused. Although this Pei Zilie is a straightforward person, he inevitably has some speculation and speculation about the intentions of the two, but Pei Zilie rarely participates in the world, and the changes in the expression on his face can't be hidden.

For Li Xinchen, who used to be in the workplace, even if it is a different era, this ability to pay attention to people's faces is still there. Coughing slightly, Li Xinchen pulled Xiao Shilian's clothes behind him while looking around: "This big battle is over, why doesn't General Dianwei go to restaurants, casinos, and the land of Fengyue to relax?" ”

Xiao Shilian raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that Li Xinchen was asking him to be more respectful, after all, they came to ease the relationship between Xiao Maha and Pei Zilie, not to let the Xiao family and Pei Zilie completely go to the opposite side, which would not be a good thing for both parties. And although Xiao Shilian's words and deeds of visiting him before were made at a glance, both Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie felt that Xiao Shilian had some malice in his tone, which is probably why Pei Zilie has been looking at them with suspicious eyes.

Pei Zilie took a deep breath: "The Northern Zhou Dynasty has not been leveled, the mountains and rivers are broken, the wind and rain are shaking, how can the husband talk about the wind and moon?" ”

Xiao Shilian couldn't help but want to say something, but was quickly grabbed by Li Xinchen's eyes. Skimming his head slightly, Xiao Shilian suffocated the word "hum" that he had already pushed to his throat. And Pei Zilie also noticed that Li Xinchen's action was not small at all, and his eyes also shifted from Xiao Shilian to Li Xinchen, to see what the chief staff of the Xiao family who came out of the flat ground was capable of.

And Xiao Shilian looked at Pei Zilie angrily, what mountains and rivers are broken and barbaric are not leveled, this argument is encouraging, but Xiao Shilian doesn't believe that Pei Zilie's high-pitched singing is all from the heart, I'm afraid that he went home directly to a large extent because he didn't have a familiar general, and it was not good to crowd with the soldiers.

But of course Xiao Shilian will not point out these tricks stupidly, even if he doesn't have much affection for Pei Zilie, he knows that he is not here to dismantle the scene today.

"That's a good point." Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, looking at the front of the lobby, this lobby is not big, and on the wall behind the master, there is a map of the Lianghuai region, which is marked in great detail, it can be seen that the person who drew this map has really spent a lot of effort, "This map dares to ask ······

"It was drawn by so-and-so." Pei Zilie smiled slightly, with an unconcealable look of pride in his voice.

However, Li Xinchen did not follow his words this time, but laughed softly: "It's just a pity that General Dianwei should change the map now." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?!" Pei Zilie raised his eyebrows, and the anger in his tone was undisguised, although he didn't know what Li Xinchen wanted to express by this, but Li Xinchen said that the map he drew had no effect, which made Pei Zilie feel a little confused and dissatisfied.

Xiao Shilian subconsciously took a step forward, but was stopped by Li Xinchen: "It's a long story, I don't know if General Dianwei can be interested in sitting down and listening to Li's detailed words." ”

Although Pei Zilie is upright and doesn't like to deal with others, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the world at all, and he didn't feel the hostility of the other party in Li Xinchen's words, so he made a gesture of please, and at the same time ordered the old servant at the door: "Uncle Ping, go and make a pot of tea." ”

After Li Xinchen gave up his hand, he smiled and sat on the Hu bed that had been placed in the lobby (author's note: The Hu bed of the Northern and Southern Dynasties is similar to the Mazha of later generations, and is the prototype of traditional stools and chairs in China), and looked up at the map: "Does General Dianwei think that the Northern Zhou barbarians will still give us a chance to take advantage of in Lianghuai?" ”

Li Xinchen's question came suddenly, which made Pei Zilie frown involuntarily.

Zhongli City, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Zhongli City is not big, even if it is Xiao Maha's house, there are only two entrances, this metropolitan governor's mansion is actually larger than the county government, but the walls are quite high, and arrow towers are set up at the four corners to guard the forest. The planning and construction style of the Huainan frontline town can be seen in the government that does not pursue luxury but pursues a defensive function similar to a city.

"Governor Qiyu, General Wu Yi is asking to see you outside the door!" One of the guards strode up to the council chamber.

Wu Mingche, who was squinting his eyes and slowly looking at the silk book battle report, was stunned for a moment, and nodded: "Go and invite General Wu Yi in." ”

In front of Wu Mingche, Xiao Maha never acted rudely, and when he strode up to the council hall, he didn't wait to see Wu Mingche, so he gave his hand first. And Wu Mingche also stood up and walked over: "Yuan Yin, there is no need to be like this, there is no need to be like this!" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor has fought for the country, and he has made outstanding achievements, and he deserves such a salute from the last general." Xiao Maha said with a straight face, while untying the sword that was inseparable from his waist and handing it to his entourage next to him, to show his respect for Wu Mingche.

Xiao Maha's movements were seen by Wu Mingche, and he secretly admired in his heart, Xiao Yuanyin was brave in battle, not to mention, he was also comprehensive in dealing with people, if Pei Zilie had one-fifth of his ability and mind in human affairs, no, one-tenth of his ability and thoughts, there was no need for Wu Mingche to specifically mention a few words.

It's just that this person is different from others, Wu Mingche also knows that he has no way to force Pei Zilie to become Xiao Maha, and said with a smile at the moment: "The old man has bad legs and feet, and he didn't greet you, Yuan Yin don't be surprised." ”

"I can't afford it." Xiao Maha hurriedly waved his hand again and again, wanting to step forward to help Wu Mingche.

"Although the old man walks slowly, he can still walk on his own." Wu Mingche turned around and walked directly towards the table, avoiding Xiao Maha, obviously insisting that it was the bottom line of the old man to go on, whether it was Xiao Maha or Pei Zilie, no one could touch it.

Xiao Maha couldn't help but smile bitterly, the old general's stubborn temper really has never changed.

And Wu Mingche also seemed to understand why Xiao Maha came, and said lightly: "The old man has already reported the war merit book, and it is estimated that the reward of the imperial court will have to wait a few days." You are the first in the war merit book, and your parents and children also have a lot of credit, so you can rest assured that this is. ”

"The last general is not the kind of person who worries about the merits of war?" Xiao Maha looked up at Wu Mingche, "The last general came this time to ask the old general, what should I do next, the last general still has some hesitation and confusion, and asks the old general for guidance." ”
