Pei Xian asked Tao De to bring a letter to Pei Wu, and the basic content was really to say good things for Cui Yu, hoping that the Pei Wu brothers could obey the new Pingzhou assassin and assist him as much as possible.

Pei Wei and Cui Yu met, and after a sincere conversation, they found out that the other party was "not a loyal minister, not only disloyal to the court, but even disloyal to Wang Da Sima", but this situation, Pei Xian and even Wang Jun are not clear. Wang Junzhi sent Cui Yu, because it was his brother-in-law, and he had always been obedient, who would have thought that once Cui Yu left Youzhou, he would instantly change his face?

In Wang Jun's view, Cui Yu is just his agent, so Cui Bi guards Pingzhou, just like he has mastered Pingzhou, and naturally hopes that the ministers of all counties and states can bow down - not to Cui Yu, but to himself. Therefore, he once hinted at Pei Xian, saying that you might as well write a letter to Brother Pei Wu and help me talk good things to Cui Yu.

Although he is a distant cousin, he has no contacts, and Pei Xian originally had a very high taste, so he didn't look down on the four rooms, and felt that Pei Wu was just a mediocre person, although Pei Wei was talented, but he took the initiative to move to Yuanzhou for the sake of his brother, and he ruined his future, which was really pedantic, so although he fled to Youzhou, he refused to say hello to the Pei Wu brothers in neighboring states. Wang Jun's order was not a strict order, and Pei Xian originally did not intend to take care of this.

But judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before Wang Jun usurped him, and will he support him at that time? If you support it, your name will turn into flowing water, and if you don't support it, you are afraid that you will follow in Huo Yuan's footsteps...... It's best to blend in with the crowd yourself, embrace it inconspicuously, and if you don't pull out this tip, maybe you can escape infamy.

However, Lu Zhi's father revealed a message, that is, Wang Jun wanted to find an opportunity to force himself to take the lead. Pei Xian thought about it, if I can really say that Brother Pei Wu surrendered, it would be a great achievement, Wang Pengzu, you are embarrassed to press me again - it is better to force Xun Yu first. So he wrote a letter and entrusted Tao De to send it to Xuansu.

He didn't expect that Pei Wu was sick and was already in a state of dying, and Pei Wei made up his mind that he would never go to Cui Yu's thief ship. So that day, Pei Wei read Pei Xian's letter with a sneer in front of the sickbed, and then asked his brother: "Can my brother reply to him on behalf of my brother?" ”

Pei Wu blinked his eyes and expressed his approval, but then said: "They are all brothers of the same clan, and the words must not be fierce." Pei Wei said I know, turned around and walked to the bookcase, picked up the pen, waved it, and then went to the sickbed to read it to Pei Wu. The general content of the reply letter was in Pei Wu's tone, saying that he was seriously ill, and I was afraid that he would not be able to help Cui Yuanjun any time, as for his brother Pei Wei, he would also ask him to help his coffin return to his hometown.

After getting Pei Wu's approval, Pei Wei took the pen and asked his brother to sign it. But Pei Wu's arm trembled, and it was difficult for his five fingers to bend and stretch, and he trembled for a long time, and finally had to say, "It's better for the virtuous brother to sign on my behalf." ”

Pei Wei imitated his brother's notes and signed them, so he handed the letter to Pei Kai, who was waiting outside the door, and asked him to return the messenger and send it back to Zhuoxian. However, not long after Pei Kai left, he took the original letter back, frowned and said: "The messenger refused to accept it, saying that he was not Uncle Jingsi's department, and he needed to return to Xuzhou to pay the order......

Pei Wei was full of confusion: "How can this be reasonable, if it weren't for Pei Jingsi's followers, I would have compensated him with two silks, and asked him to run again." "Pei Kaidao said the same thing, although I only promised a silk ...... But he resolutely refused.

Pei Wu, who was on the sickbed, suddenly asked: "Such an important letter, how can Jing Si make an outsider pass it on?" Where did this person come from? ”

Pei Kai raised his voice and replied: "Shicai has reported to his uncle that he is from Xuzhou." ”

Pei Wu was also very puzzled, and said that he would call him in and inquire in detail, so we can also inquire about the recent situation in the south.

So Todd was led into the dormitory, and bowed down by the door. Pei Wei asked him: "Aren't you Pei Jingsi's followers?" Who is the Lord? ”

Tao De replied: "The villain was originally a member of the history of Pei Thorn in Xuzhou, and he was ordered to go north to send a letter to Pei Gong Jingsi, and Pei Gong sent me to Xuansu. Now that the mission has been accomplished, I should go south and return to Xuzhou to pay the order......"

Pei Wu, who was on the sickbed, heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, and he gasped and asked: "Could it be that the rumors are not true, Zhengwei is still in Xuzhou for the history of assassination, and there is no nonsense, and he has not been harmed by the thieves?!" ”

Todd said blankly: "Who is Zhengwei?" My family's assassination history is a single name, and the word is a text. ”

It has been almost three years since Pei Gai crossed to the north, because the level of communication in these years and months is extremely low, so this news has just reached Youzhou more than half a year ago, and Pei Xian knows about it, but he only knows a rough idea. As for Pingzhou, it is isolated overseas, and even the intelligence of Youzhou has been obtained, let alone Xu Fang, who is thousands of miles away.

Therefore, Pei Wei suddenly heard about this, he was stunned at first, and then he was surprised and happy, and hurriedly asked, "Pei Wenyue?" Could it be the second son of Julu Chenggong? Like Pei Xian, he has never seen Pei Gai a few times, and he has the impression that he is just a shy child who has been hiding behind his father and brother, and it is really difficult to associate him with the title of "Xuzhou Thorn History".

Without waiting for Tao De to answer, Pei Wu said first: "Brother Xian, Wen is about to be three years old, and he should also be crowned regardless of his age." He worshiped the Marquis of Nanchang when he was a young man, and he had the opinion of the lord, so it is not surprising that he is in the history of any state. ”

If Tao De only said that his assassin's name was Pei Gai, maybe the Pei Wu brothers should still have the same name and surname, since even the table words have been pointed out, the possibility of repeating all the names and words is too low - this must be Pei Cai's second son.

Pei Wei couldn't help laughing from the bottom of his heart, and stretched out his hand to stroke his beard: "I don't want Brother Yimin's heirs to be endless, and he can guard a state." Then he beckoned Todd to come closer, and then asked him, "When did you meet Pei Wenyu?" What is the situation in Xu Fang now, you can wait for me. ”

It would be long for Tao Dexin to say that...... Fortunately, along the way, he had told Lu Zhifu, Tuoba Tou and others many times that the sentences that were originally ordered to be recited, after repeated practice, had long been familiar with them, and he immediately handed over his hand to report: "The villain is from Jiangdong to follow my family envoy, but the envoy's previous deeds are also quite heard. In the past, the king left Luoyang from the king of the East China Sea, out of the town in Xiang, after the collapse of the king of the East China Sea, the thief Shi Leqin led the elite troops to cover the attack, and broke my Jin division in Ningping City in Ku County......"

Starting from Pei Gai's capture, until he fled to Jiangdong in the south, then hit in the middle stream, and Huaiyin in the north, this large story was told, and it took more than half an hour to hear the Pei brothers, father and son, both inside and outside the room-Pei Zhan also ran to the door, listening to his brother together-all dumbfounded: I rely on this too twists and turns!

After finishing speaking, Todd was almost hoarse. Pei Wei instructed: "Drink with him a bowl of water." Then he turned to his brother Pei Wu: "Brother thinks, is this statement credible?" ”

Pei Wuluo smiled: "How to judge foreign affairs?" However, Pei Wenyue is stationed in Xuzhou and seems to have the ambition to recover, so it should not be fake. ”

In their minds, Todd must not be very good at speaking, and the reason why his speech is smooth should be due to the fact that he has boasted to others many times about the great achievements of his own envoy. The affairs of the main family, the parts cannot all be clear, there must be ten deeds, at most seven points - they didn't expect that in fact, Pei Gai's ten deeds, the seven points that can be taken out to show off in front of people, have all passed through Tao De's mouth, and Chen is placed in front of Pei Shi in Pingzhou.

It is precisely because of this that Pei Wei was suspicious when he heard it: he is only a young man in his early twenties, and he has never seen how smart he is before, he can have such ambitions, so capable? Could it be that it is the protection of Pei Yan's spirit in the sky? No, even if Pei Yi himself, it will definitely be fine for you to let him govern a state, but if he doesn't know how to fight, it is impossible to set up any "empty city plan" to scare off the Hu soldiers, and he can successfully destroy all the dock forts in the territory......

Glancing back at Pei Wu, Pei Wu nodded knowingly. Pei Wei immediately ordered: "Take him down, so that he can be entertained." "We brothers have to have a good discussion on this matter.

When Pei Kai and Pei Zhan led Tao De away, and closed the door, Pei Wei came to Pei Wu's sickbed again, and before he could speak, Pei Wu smiled first: "Brother Xian's mind is already in Qing's eyes." ”

Pei Wei couldn't help but wonder, and then asked, "Does Brother think it's feasible?" ”

Pei Wu thought for a while and replied: "My life is not long, and the matter behind me, the virtuous brother chooses by himself, why bother asking?" ”

"My brother still has hesitation in my heart, and I ask my brother to teach me."

"Brother Xian is worried, if what this person says is not true, then help my coffin to go south to Xu Fang, but the Wen Yue I see is not a person to rely on, I'm afraid it will be in vain, right?" Pei Wu sighed softly, "The rumors can't be believed, but although Xu Fang is not home, it is closer than Liaodong after all." Even if you can't return to your hometown, you should choose a place close to it for burial......"

Pei Wei muttered: "This is only a few hundred miles to the Murong Department, and it is only a thousand miles to the Duan Department, but if you go to Xu Fang, it is thousands of miles away, and the road is difficult and bumpy......

"Brother Xian, Qing came to Liaodong with me, in a remote corner, and there are still few heroes in the world, so I thought that Murong Diao was the master who could be supplemented. However, he is Xianbei after all, not my race - if you know that China is talented, you can be worthy of the barbarians. If the text is stopped, the virtuous brother Nantou will have nothing to lose. What about Zhongcai? With the assistance of the virtuous brother, it will become a great weapon, and the virtuous brother is his uncle, Wen Youan is unwilling to obey the plan, and it is the reason of the heart? ”

He saw that Pei Wei was still hesitating, so he said again: "How to behave, you should choose to be a virtuous brother." In fact, being a brother is just a little selfish, Ah Kai and Ah Zhan are also Chinese assets, if they join the northern captives, even if they can save their lives, they are afraid of sinking into their subordinates. If it is in China, and under the protection of the same sect, there may be a day when it will come out......"

Pei Wei immediately interrupted Pei Wu's words: "Brother's words, foolish brother remember." If the brother does not shy away, the younger brother will lead the second nephew to protect the coffin of the elder brother to the south, if the text can not be supplemented, then send the second nephew to Jiangdong, attach to the king of Langya, and the younger brother will find another place to go. My brother is still in the prime of life, and he is not afraid of waste! ”

——————————

Pei Wu's condition recurred, and he lingered for nearly a month before he began to close his eyes. During this period of time, Tao De, Lu Zhifu and others have been forced to stay in Xuansu County Mansion, even if they are like arrows, they can't help if they don't let you go. Finally waited for Pei Wu to hang up, Pei Wei presided over the funeral, cremated his brother, and buried his ashes, and then officially revealed to Tao De, saying that our uncle and nephew will go south with you to vote for Pei Gai.

Lu Zhifu also took the opportunity to bring it up: Do you want to add me to it? "This time I was ordered to say that Pei and Xun Ergong, the mission could not be achieved, and it was delayed for a long time, how could I see General Liu? Qing said that Pei Xuzhou is a hero, then I want to be like-minded, thinking that I am also a helper. ”

Todd naturally has no reason to object, anyway, whether to accept you in the end or not, it is still the lord's nod, I can't be the master. So it was delayed for more than a month, Pei Wei brought the Xuansu and Changli county treasury to a wrapping meeting, and took away everything that could be taken away, leading Pei Kai and other family members more than a dozen people, dozens of slaves, as well as more than 100 troops and guards, and marched westward along the coastline.

Although the seaside road is muddy and difficult to navigate, the power of the local government is often unattainable, and these nearly 200 people are not afraid of any sporadic thieves, and the safety factor can be relatively large-otherwise there are so many forces on the road, if they are discovered by Wang Jun's people, they may be stopped, and if they are discovered by Shile's people...... It's likely that you won't even be able to save your life!

There was no danger on the road, and it was not until he came to the vicinity of Yangxin in Jizhou that he suddenly encountered a small group of Hu Qi. The team was scattered, and it was all thanks to Todd's sword dance to protect the Pei family and Lu Zhi's father to escape—almost all the materials they carried were robbed. Pei Kai's face was full of frustration, but Pei Wei smiled and comforted him and said, "I will go on the road, do you think I will take it to Xuzhou to eat?" The meat you carry can be thrown into the wolf and tiger, but it is just your own life. With our family, but do not be lazy, are you afraid that you will not be able to cure the inheritance in the future? ”

Continuing to the south, he finally got rid of Hu Qi and bumped into the Jin army.

The leader of this Jin army is Shao Xu, who is too shou of Leling, who is tired of soldiers, and after meeting Pei Wei, he asked: "Xianshou is not in Changli, why did you come to my Leling?" Pei Wei replied: "My brother passed away, so I resigned and helped his coffin return to his hometown." Shao Xu smiled: "The Jun family is originally in Hedong, why not go west and go south?" ”

"The virtuous guard should know that Hedong has long fallen into the hands of Hu Lu, and it is difficult to return. Because he heard that his nephew Pei should guard Xu Fang, he wanted to go along. ”

Shao Xu nodded: "I see." Speaking of Pei Envoy, the day before yesterday, a messenger came to communicate with the continuation, hoping to attack Cao Wei from the north and south in the future and recover Qingzhou......" held a banquet at the moment, hospitalized Pei Wei and his party, and then sent troops to escort them to the south bank of the Yellow River, and even passed through Cao Wei's jurisdiction.

There was a locust plague the year before last, Cao Wei couldn't recover for two whole years, although the soldiers came out in all directions, looting everywhere, but when they saw Shao Xu's banner, they immediately avoided - this big enemy can't afford to provoke for the time being. Therefore, Pei Wei and his party had to cross the Huai River smoothly and arrive in Huaiyin.

Tao De left Xuzhou before the autumn harvest of Jianxing in the second year, and originally planned to go to Youzhou, full of calculations, at most four or five months should come back, who would have thought that this would be more than half a year, and Jianxing would return in the middle of summer for three years. But as soon as he entered the city to inquire, the envoy was not there, and he led the army to the west a month ago!
