Chapter II. 210

With the pre-planned retreat step, coupled with the mouth that was enough to tell the dead to live, Pei Ya finally got a respite after walking around the ghost gate for a while. Of course, his head can only be counted as a deposit on his neck. In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that as long as Guo Xing and his more than 100 cavalry leave the Youbei Third Road, Pei Ya, who has lost his role at that time, will immediately be cut into two corpses and end up in the wilderness.

Of course, Pei Ya never expected Guo Xing, who escaped from the fire, to really let himself go.

Under Pei Ya's guidance, more than 100 remnants of Pingbei came to the northwest of Shuangshan City, and stopped at a not too dangerous crossing.

"Pei Du, you can see the place, if you can't see a grain caravan passing by within the agreed time, then whether we can escape from Youbei Third Road is not easy to say, but you Pei Du, you will definitely not be able to go back."

The 'executioner' guard just now has become Pei Ya's 'personal guard' at this time, and he is a Yanjing person, who is famous in the Huayu Continent for chatting and idleness, watching Pei Ya along the way, and nagging along the way, when he is not idle, Pei Ya, who is struggling to think about the escape plan, and his annoying brain is boiling. And his efforts along the way were all in vain, and he didn't even think about being annoyed by this 'executioner'......

"Pei knows, Pei understands...... Looking at this day, I have to wait for about half an hour. ”

How can a person not bow his head under the low eaves, even if Pei Ya has the heart to eat this 'executioner' alive, but after all, his life is still in the hands of others, so he can't die generously because of these little things, right?

Over the past few days, these more than 100 Pingbei sergeants who were tired of running for their lives had already exhausted all the strength of the whole week. Many people were running and running, and even people and horses fell directly on the road and died; And the rest of these people are all busy with their hearts and minds; At this moment, they had just drunk enough water, and they could stop and breathe, and all the fatigue of the past few days naturally came to their hearts, and in less than a moment, these Pingbei troops had already slept to death......

And Guo Xing, the young marshal of the Pingbei Army, is now cheering up and sitting face-to-face with Pei Ya. It's not that Guo Xing is tireless, it's just that he still has a deep sense of defensiveness against Pei Yaqi. Even if this Pei Ya and himself are not all the way, but he Pei Ya was originally just an idle official of the Youbei Rite Department, and a few years later, he turned into a person who was ordered to take over the position of the governor of Zhongshan Road, which was expected by thousands of people, how could he be a mediocre person? And the more obedient Pei Ya became, the more greedy he was for life and afraid of death, the deeper and heavier the thoughts in Guo Xing's heart became.

"Pei Du, if more than 100 of us successfully 'slip away' from you, how do you plan to explain to your master, Yan Hunt?"

Guo Xing, who has been busy with his life for many days, does not know the news that Yan Hunt has died of illness at this moment. At this moment, he pretended to sit down opposite Pei Ya easily, and said to Pei Ya in a tone that was almost chattering.

As soon as Pei Ya heard this, he was secretly shocked in his heart: It seems that this Guo Xing still hasn't let down his guard against me! He obviously didn't plan to let me live, but he deliberately asked me how I planned to deal with me when I went back. It seems that he wanted to use this answer to test the truth of my plan......

Even though Pei Ya already had a plan in his heart, he also made a casual look on his face:

"Hey, isn't that obvious? What is there to explain? The Zhongshan Governor's Mansion Army under my command has always been the border army responsible for guarding the Mobei defense line, and they have not received the official court documents that came to intercept and kill your department, so who do they need to explain to? What's more, the more than 10,000 cavalry in Shuangshan City are also his 'retainers', how to explain this matter, it is not my turn to worry about a puppet governor. After all, Shen Gui has a background, and he is also a white man after all, he can't go to Yan Hunt to sue me, right? ”

Guo Xing nodded after listening, as if he had the same emotion:

"Yes, who of us, including our father, is not a puppet in the hands of their big men? Just like our Beiyan Guo family, who was originally in the Western Xinjiang Garrison, after General Xu Wanzhou Xu died in battle, he was transferred to the Eastern Customs Garrison, and I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to return to the prosperous Yanjing City in this life...... But even if you are far away on the frontier, you will inevitably be dragged into the dirty power struggle behind your back...... The ancestor did die in the hands of Yan Chongwu, but those adults above the court, their hands were so clean? ”

These words fell into Pei Ya's ears, and he just rolled his eyes and understood the reason why Guo Xing 'revealed his shortcomings'. He wanted to test with words and inquire about the situation in the court of the three roads in the north from his mouth!

"Hey, you two are not bad, at least it was originally a strong army that all parties and factions did not dare to ignore, and they would try their best to win over; Look at Pei again, how sad it is to be the governor this way! Pei was just a small official of the Ministry of Rites earlier, and the Holy Lord commissioned me to take over as the governor of Zhongshan Road, but I just needed to send an idle official with no party, no faction, no name, no power, and no merits, to occupy a position for his eldest son Yan Dayxian; After Yan Tian inherits the throne, even if I am the governor of the road, I will definitely give it to others...... Therefore, Pei took a risk, acted according to Shen Gui's arrangement, and completely fell to the side of the second prince. Although this is not Pei's wish, if Pei wants to continue to live, there is only one way to go......"

After Pei Ya sighed, he deliberately made a look of discouragement, and his bound body lay backwards, making a posture of fake sleep:

"I want Pei to be a scholar, and when I enter the court as an official, I just want to eat a lot of food...... Why did you go around and be pushed to the cusp of this storm? ”

Pei Ya's previous confession didn't give Guo Xing anything to gain; But the last words were filled with emotion, but they made him feel a little empathetic: 'Yes, I and my father are not good at camping, although I still know some skins, but I am also very disgusted with this; Now that this battle has been fought, not only did the old father die on the spot, but even the entire Pingbei Army was reduced to nothing. Even if he can escape this time, after returning to Yanjing City, what will be the fate that awaits him? ’

For a while, the two people with their own thoughts fell into a relatively silent state. It wasn't until Guo Xing came back from his worries that he thought about it for a moment and asked Pei Ya. He seemed to be touched by Pei Ya's words, and this time he opened his mouth and called Pei Ya's words:

"Brother Guangjin, you are also a person who has read the scriptures and history and is both civil and military, in your opinion, how will the general trend of the world develop in the future?"

Pei Ya heard Guo Xing's question, opened his closed eyes, looked at the blue sky high and far, and said faintly:

According to Pei's view, today's Huayu Continent has a tendency to divide the world. The Northern Yan Dynasty, the Youbei Three Roads, and the Nankang Regime, of course, are each a family; and the remainder shall be shared by the Wild Lands. ”

Hearing this, Guo Xing shook his head with a smile:

"There is nothing wrong with saying this from your mouth; But in the eyes of our Beiyan people, the world of this Huayu Continent is really the world of three families. Beiyan and Nankang are each family, which goes without saying; And although you also claim to be a country, in our eyes, it is no different from Mobei, Western Xinjiang, Shunan and other places. ”

"Your Northern Yan Dynasty's more than 200,000 'king's divisions' have just been annihilated by all of our barbarian tribes who are not kings, and now that the wounds have not healed, you won't take our Youbei Sanlu in your eyes?"

Pei Ya's rebuttal had just come out, and Guo Xing clapped his hands and laughed:

"This is the Pei Ya Pei Guangjin in my imagination, this is the young man in the world who is as famous as Yan Chongwu's dog thief!"

Pei Ya seemed to be touched by him, and the tone of his reply suddenly hardened:

"Pei is just a son of a pariah, how dare he compare it with the royal bloodline of Commander Yan?"

Guo Xing heard Pei Ya's reply, and felt that the 'fire' was almost there:

"What is the son of a pariah and what is the blood of the royal family, as the so-called 'heroes and heroes have no seeds, and the princes will be reckless', which ninety-five is not a thief who started a family in a riot? Let's just say that your royal Yan family, if there were no two heroes of 'Mancang Li' and 'Taibai Tiger' who deliberately gave in to each other, how could he have the position of the son of heaven of the Yan family? What's more, your Youbei Third Road is already narrow and sparsely populated, and for half a year in a year, it is all in a cold and snowy environment. What kind of climate can such harsh conditions become......"

When Pei Ya heard this, he twisted his body and sat up, blushing and just about to refute, he was cut off by a gesture from Guo Xing:

"I'll tell you the truth, Brother Guangjin, at this moment, those so-called junjie on your Youbei Third Road, except for one Li Deng and Li Qiyuan, are just mediocre people in the eyes of our Beiyan people; And only you, Brother Guangjin, are different from those fools, you just lack a chance, an opportunity to travel the world like Li Qiyuan did back then; After you really see with your own eyes how big the world is, you will understand that what Guo said today is true. ”

When Pei Ya heard this, his eyes suddenly glowed, and then quickly dimmed again:

"In fact, I have long wanted to emulate Prime Minister Li Cheng in my youth and go to the world to have a journey; But when he was young, he studied hard, and when he became an adult, he was always entangled in mundane affairs, and he had no time to take care of anything else; Now that it's in your hands, I'm afraid that there won't be such an opportunity in the future......"

"Brother Pei, if Guo tells you that there is really such an opportunity right now, are you willing to give it a try?"

Pei Ya's expression changed back and forth several times, and finally sighed in frustration:

"Hey...... In any case, Pei is also a citizen of Youbei, and he will definitely not do such a thing as a pig and a dog; Besides, Pei Mou has already said that now there is no one who listens to my orders in the Zhongshan Governor's Mansion Army under my command, and even if Pei wants to do this business, he has no capital......"

"Brother Guangjin, you misunderstood, Guo did not ask you to commit treason to the enemy, and you don't need to come up with any capital in advance; And if Brother Guangjin is willing to cooperate with Guo, then he only needs to stand on the side of the second prince of Youbei "with all his heart and heart", and do his best to help him win the emperor's throne. As long as you are willing, then no matter whether this matter is successful or not, Guo can grant you a real kingship! ”

It was only at this time that Guo Xing said what he really wanted in his heart in Pei Ya's surprised eyes.

Guo Xing's move is clearly to want to go to the north and completely fall into civil strife!
