Xiao Yi was a rare faux pas, only staring at Pei Xingli coldly, with a hint of edge in his eyes.

His expression made Guo Zhongting shiver, and when he was about to open his mouth to ease the atmosphere, Xiao Yi had already turned around and left, without saying a word from beginning to end. Only a little medicinal fragrance remained in the air, and a cold sadness came out.

At the end of the first month, Pei Xingli's appointment to promote the assassin of Qinzhou came down, and his colleagues went to Pei Yan's mansion to congratulate him. At the same time, the Pei family also began to prepare for the marriage with the Guo family. Pei Yan had a great face, so he invited Princess Yun'an and his wife to protect the media, and this candidate also made the eldest princess of Hanyang quite satisfied.

Princess Yun'an is ostensibly a fellow mother of the eldest princess, but in fact she was born to the palace people around the queen mother, and the palace people have no position, so they are raised under the knees of the queen mother. Because of this relationship, the eldest princess treats Duke Yun'an more kindly than other sisters.

And Princess Yun'an's husband, Liu Shijing, is not small. He is the son of Jiangmen, and his father Liu Chang enlisted in the army as a young man, and made meritorious contributions when he pacified the Anshi Rebellion. Although he was not under Guo Ziyi's command at that time, the Henan defense envoy he served fought side by side with Guo Ziyi, attacked from both sides, and had a comradeship. When Liu Chang was alive, he had great respect for the Guo clan, and repeatedly talked about the demeanor of the king of Fenyang County in his crusade against the traitors.

Therefore, Pei Yan can say that Princess Yun'an and his wife protect the media, which can be regarded as extremely attentive, and the relationship between the two families is not deep.

At the end of the first month, as soon as Pei Xingli's assassination appointment arrived, Pei Yan took him to visit Princess Yun'an and his wife to tell him about this happy event. The two couples are naturally happy, the higher the man's official position, the more he will talk about the media, and the more light his face will be after the fact.

After coming out of Princess Yun'an's mansion, Pei Yan went straight to the Zhongshu Provincial Government, and Pei Xingli planned to buy goods to prepare for his appointment.

Before the first month of the year, Chang'an City is still full of joy, the afternoon sun is warm, and the road is full of pedestrians. Pei Xingli was born as a military general and was not accustomed to riding in a car, so he beat his horse and walked towards Xishi in high spirits.

He had just arrived near the West Market, suddenly felt thirsty, and was about to get off the horse to rest and find a tea shop, but suddenly there was a "whoosh" sound in his ears!

He reacted very quickly, and quickly bent down on the horse's back, unexpectedly the hidden weapon was not aimed at him, but at his horse!

I heard the miserable neighing of the mount under his crotch, and suddenly raised his hooves in a frenzy, and rushed through the street. Nearby pedestrians and vendors could not avoid it, and they were knocked to the ground by horses and even trampled.

Pei Xingli was almost thrown off his horse by his mount, but he could only tighten the reins and stabilize his body, but he could not stop the manic horses. As a last resort, he took out the dagger he carried with him and stabbed it at the horse's neck, but the dagger was too short and too small, and although the horse was in pain, it had little effect.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a man shouting: "Lean back!" ”

Pei Xingli didn't have time to think about it, he immediately clamped the saddle with his legs, and his whole body fell backwards, supported only by his waist strength.

At the same time, a white silk yarn flew out and was draped around the horse's neck. Pei Xingli looked distractedly, and saw a woman holding the other end of a white veil, tying it to a tree trunk next to the street.

Her movements were crisp and neat, and the white yarn had been firmly tied in three or two strokes. The horses were strapped around their necks and could not move forward, their front hooves raised high, neighing to break free.

The woman saw the opportunity and shouted, "Senior brother! ”

"Ho!" A charlatan man

With knives in both hands, he jumped up and slashed at the horse's head with a slash.

The miserable neighing sounded again, and the horses fell to their knees with their front hooves and fell headlong to the ground. Pei Xingli was originally leaning back, but at this moment, he happened to sit up, stepped off the saddle with a leap, and got out unscathed.

Look at the horse again, there is a large knife firmly embedded in the neck, the blood is gushing, and it has died.

Pei Xingli had palpitations, and hurriedly looked around, but except for the mess and injured pedestrians, he couldn't see any trace of the murderer at all. He stabilized his mind, and before he could think about it, he heard a woman say lightly: "Yo, it's still a pretty gentleman!" ”

Pei Xingli turned around and saw that the young woman who had just covered the horse's head with a white gauze was standing not far away, smiling at another man.

That man was obviously the "senior brother" in her mouth, and he was also the one who had just come out to save him. Pei Xingli hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the two of them: "Thank you two chivalrous warriors for saving you, dare to ask your name?" ”

The senior brother took the lead in holding his fists: "It's just passing by, and it's not enough to raise your hands." ”

The junior sister leaned on her brother's side and smiled back: "He doesn't tell you, I'll tell you, my name is ......"

"Senior sister!" The senior brother scolded in a deep voice.

The junior sister suddenly became depressed, and sighed aggrievedly: "My senior brother won't let me say it." ”

Pei Xingli had a good impression of these two sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, so he reported to his family: "The surname is Pei, the name is established, and the words are even." Thank you both. ”

Pei ...... Standing up? This name sounds familiar. The junior sister turned her head to look at the senior brother, "Have you heard?" ”

"It turned out to be the first-class hero of the crusade against the rebels in Zhenhai." The senior brother said in awe.

"I'm ashamed." Pei Xingli modestly replied, "It is my duty to be loyal to the monarch and love the country and serve the court. ”

At this time, the junior sister also remembered something: "Oh, I said that this name is very familiar!" Since you are from Zhenhai, then you also know Fu ......."

Before she finished speaking, the senior brother touched her without a trace, and she immediately changed her words: "Then you also know Fu...... The owner of Fuchang Zhai, right? ”

"Fuchang Zhai?" Pei Xingli pretended to think, "Pei has been in Zhenhai for many years, and I haven't heard of this store, what kind of business is it?" ”

"Point...... Dim sum. The younger sister stumbled nonsense, "It's delicious, I have to taste it every time I go to Yangzhou." ”

Pei Xingli smiled: "Heroine, Yangzhou is in Huainan, not in Zhenhai." ”

"Uh...... That's what I misremembered. "The junior sister forcibly rounded the field.

Pei Xingli smiled silently, nor did he pierce it.

Seeing this, the senior brother reprimanded her: "You have too many words. After that, he turned his head to Pei Xingli and said, "I think this horse is quite strange, the general should be careful." ”

Why doesn't Pei Xingli know? Just as he was about to open his mouth to reply to the previous sentence, he saw a group of bad people hurrying from the west, and instantly surrounded the three of them.

The bad handsome man who started quickly stepped forward, pointed at them and shouted: "Someone reported to the official, saying that you committed murder on the street, but is there such a thing?" ”

When the words fell, he had already seen the dead horse beside him, pointed to it and asked, "Whose horse is this?" ”

"Mine." Pei Xingli took the initiative to admit it.

"Name!" As he spoke, he took out a small notebook from his arms, and took out half a small piece of black charcoal, making a gesture to record it in the notebook.

Pei Xingli. The 'walking' of walking, the 'standing' of standing. ”

Bad Shuai didn't seem to have heard of this name, and continued to ask: "Household registration, what does the family do?" ”

"A native of Hedong, I just took over the appointment this month, and I have a history of assassination in Qinzhou."

The bad handsome man made a pause, and turned his head to look at him: "Are you the history of Qinzhou Thorn?" ”
