Chapter 97: Talking All Night
Pei Guangyi found out that the whole city was under martial law on the morning of the next day.
"Uncle." Seeing that the city gate was closed, Pei Guangyi finally squeezed out of the crowd and asked the guard, "Why are you closing the city gate?" ”
"Don't you have eyes?" The soldier defending the city bowed his head and gave him a blank look and said, "Go over there and read the notice yourself." ”
"Cut, what's the big deal." Pei Guangyi turned around and muttered with laughter in his mouth: "If you don't say that the master, I'm too lazy to ask." "I complained like this, and I saw that there were many people on the wall of the street not far away." Work hard, let one let one let one go. Pei Guangyi got into the crowd, bent down and lowered his head to go back and forth between the legs of the crowd for a long time, and then squeezed in front of him. Pei Guangyi looked up at the wall, and couldn't help but be surprised, and the whole person stayed in place as if he had been electrocuted.
"It's a big deal!" In the house inside the wall, Zhou Xueke was feeding Shi Jingzhong a decoction, but he was suddenly startled by Pei Guangyi, who broke in all of a sudden, and the decoction in his hand almost spilled. "Brother Pei, you're scared to death." Zhou Xueke frowned slightly, and pouted at Pei Guangyi: "What do you see?" ”
"The notice posted by the government" Pei Guangyi closed the door of the house, held on to the door frame and said breathlessly: "The government closed the city gate, posted wanted notices everywhere throughout the whole process, painted your portraits, said that Zhou Xueke and Shi Jingzhong are anti-thieves, if you want people to see it, report it to the official immediately, if there is any harboring, it will be dealt with as an accomplice." I've been running for a long time, and I've put up seven or eight of them on every street. ”
"Damn Wei Shanren!" Shi Jingzhong took medicine last night and changed into clean clothes, and at this time there is no major problem, although the wounds on his body have not healed, but he is no longer shaking like the day before yesterday. "Looks like we're going to be going to be going to search us from house to house!"
"That's right." Pei Guangyi's breath was slightly calm at this time, so he continued: "When I came back, I already saw that the officers and soldiers were searching from house to house. It's still a bit far from here, but it's not certain when they'll come. ”
"What should I do?" Zhou Xue Ke saw Shi Jingzhong's brows furrowed, and couldn't help but worry and said, "Sir, what if they catch us?" ”
"Don't be afraid." Seeing the frightened look on Zhou Xueke's face, Shi Jingzhong hurriedly comforted: "As long as Mr. is still alive, no one can arrest Xiao Ke." As he spoke, he raised his head and said to Pei Guangyi: "Little brother, it's rare that you are so young, but you have a chivalrous and soft heart." It's just that the two of us are now trapped in this city, and we can't get out. If you have anything to do with us, I'm afraid it will affect you and your family. I will definitely remember your kindness in sending me medicine and clothes, but for the sake of your family, you should go back now, stay with your family, and never have anything to do with me again. ”
"Stinky boy! Did you take the medicine box at home?! And clothes! The door of the house was suddenly pushed open, and an old man with gray hair walked in and grabbed Pei Guangyi's ears and pulled him up: "It's okay if you don't study every day, but now you actually steal things from the house?" If I hadn't let my subordinates follow you, I wouldn't have known you were hiding here? Say! What are you doing stealing a medicine bottle at home? Is it fighting with others, and you don't dare to tell you Lao Tzu and me when you break them? ”
"Lao Pei?" Shi Jingzhong was frightened by the sound of pushing the door at first, but he thought that the officers and soldiers had searched here so quickly, and subconsciously wanted to grab the iron fan on the side, but when he heard the voice of the comer, he couldn't help but be taken aback. It turned out that this person was actually Pei Juqi, the cousin of his old friend Pei Lian. "How are you?"
"Old history?" Pei Juqi was angry at Pei Guangyi, hating him for stealing things at home, and when he heard the voice of the old man, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Why are you here?" ”
"It hurts, stinky old man, let go!" Pei Guangyi was pinched by his ears at this time, grinning in pain. Listening to the conversation between the two of them, he knew that it was an old man who had met, so he said: "I took the medicine to save this gentleman, you let go quickly, it hurts." If you don't let go, I won't live here, I'll go home and find my son. ”
Pei Fu.
"I see, is this little brother the child of Mr. Pei Lianpei?" In the inner hall of the house, the two children were playing in the courtyard, and Shi Jingzhong and Pei Juqi sat opposite each other to talk about things. "I didn't expect to see Mr. Pei's children here." Shi Jingzhong glanced at Pei Guangyi in the garden, and turned his head to Pei Ju.
"Ahh Pei Juqi nodded and sighed: "My brother was ordered to travel far away at that time, and I followed with me at that time, but who knew that my brother and sister-in-law gave birth halfway." My brother has a holy order, and the trip to the far frontier must not be delayed, so he asked me to take my brother and sister-in-law and the child back the same way, but I didn't expect that my brother and sister-in-law were not adjusted halfway after giving birth, and the journey was bumpy, and I died after a serious illness, so I had no choice but to take the child back to Chang'an alone. Alas, it's just that my brother is now living alone, and he doesn't know the news that my sister-in-law has passed away. ”
"Brother Juqi doesn't have to be so frustrated." Shi Jingzhong sighed and said, "It's a good thing that Brother Pei Lin is old enough to have a son. The deceased have been buried in the loess for a long time, and the living still have a way to go. ”
"Hmm." Pei Juqi nodded, but said again: "The prince is dead, and Brother Shi is now falsely accused of being a rebellious minister." Naturally, this Chang'an can't stay any longer. I don't know what Brother Shi's plans are in the future? ”
"Ugh." Shi Jingzhong sighed: "King Qin is eloquent and strategic, good at conquest, if he fights, he is naturally brave and does not let others." But he is still a child now, and many times he does things deviantly, and he loves to kill martial arts, as evidenced by this Xuanwu Sect. When it comes to the governance of the Qi family, King Qin is really a little worse than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
"But now it's done." Pei Juqi sighed and said, "I'm afraid that Your Majesty will pass on the throne to His Royal Highness King Qin soon." At that time, I don't know how His Royal Highness King Qin will treat us old ministers. ”
"Who is the prince and who sits in the world, I don't care about this." Shi Jingzhong shook his head and said: "It's just that the prince ordered me to give birth to a caretaker girl, although I have retired, but since it is the order of the prince's subordinates, then I naturally want to complete it." ”
"But now you are trapped in Chang'an, you can't get out of the city at all, even if you live in my house, there is no guarantee that there will be no officers and soldiers to search for you." Pei Juqi frowned slightly and asked, "What is Brother Shi going to do?" ”
"Leave it to fate." Shi Jingzhong sighed and said, "The confidant is dead, so what is the scholar?" Only with death. Even if I fight for my life, I will send Miss Xue Ke out of the city safely. ”
"Brother Shi is brave and loyal, Pei admires it." Pei Juqi arched his hand and said: "Since Brother Shi is like this, then I will also sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman now, how about letting me send you out of the city?" ”
