In the early morning, Cui Yuanfu was launched at the same time, and a dense order was issued, and a group of herald cavalry rushed to Hebei and Shandong, as if a storm was coming, the wind suddenly stopped, and the air was full of strange air currents, anxious, depressing, and very quiet.

'Squeak! A gorgeous carriage stopped in front of the door of Pei's mansion, dozens of guards fanned out to both sides, the door opened, and Chu Xingshui walked out of the carriage with worry in his eyes, this is the third time he has come to Pei's mansion in two days, the first time is that Pei Jun is sick, and the second time is that he went out to pay respects, today Pei Jun specially sent someone to tell him that he was waiting for his arrival at home.

Chu Xingshui picked up his robe and went up the steps, the porter saw him coming, and opened the door in a panic, the old man repeatedly instructed that if Chu Shangshu came, he must open the middle door before he went up the steps, Chu Xingshui entered the gate expressionlessly, there was a shadow wall in front, a small and beautiful carriage was parked next to the shadow wall, and Pei Ying's complaint was heard from a distance, "Who said that you have to go early in the morning, didn't the post say that the poem will be at night?" ”

"Miss, just now Mr. Wei specially sent someone to say that he would first invite Miss to Leyouyuan to watch the maple leaves."

The footsteps approached, and she saw two maids walking out from behind the shadow wall with Pei Ying in her arms, and she saw Chu Xingshui coming towards her at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Niece greets Uncle Shi." ”

Chu Xingshui looked at the carriage and said with a slight smile: "Don't go to Le Youyuan, learn how to teach your husband and children!" ”

Let's talk about it. He raised his head and smiled, and walked into the middle hall quickly, Pei Ying looked at Chu Xingshuidi's back in surprise, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Pei Jun woke up from a nap, and when he heard that Chu Xingshui was coming, he greeted him with a smile, "Brother Runze, are you poking me in the back and scolding?" ”

"Don't dare, Pei Xiangguo's body and guests are much more important than me, I am self-aware."

Bae Jun laughed. He affectionately took Chu Xingshui's arm and entered the study, closed the door, the smile on his face disappeared suddenly, and he lowered his voice and said, "Zhang Ruohao is dead." ”

"What!" Chu Xingshui was taken aback, "When did this happen?" ”

"It should be the night before yesterday, it was very secret at this time, and it was my cronies who were planted in Zhang's Mansion who smelled the smell and sent it with a flying pigeon." Pei Jun restrained the excitement in his heart and said lightly: "I have ordered Pei Shitun's 50,000 Hebei Army to be in Changshan County, and they can enter Hedong at any time." ”

"What about Cui Yuan?" Chu Xingshui's heart was a little confused. He has realized that the balance of power in the Tang Dynasty has been broken, so that his original worries about Zhang Huan have been transferred to himself, in the chaos. Will the Wang family in Xiangyang take the opportunity to send troops to Huainan?

"Cui Yuan should also know, early this morning, he sent eighteen horsemen out of Chang'an, presumably to Shandong."

Pei Jun knew very well in his heart that Cui Yuan had also been seeking Hedong for more than ten years, how could he not seize such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, at this time. The so-called benevolence and righteousness is the archway of the bitch, it is really worthless, the important thing is the interests of the family, it is the territory, it is the population, and the Shandong army will inevitably cross the Yellow River through Chenliu and Daoyang into the east of the river.

However, Pei Jun also knew that he and Cui Yuan still lacked an opportunity to enter Hedong, which was a glamorous excuse to put it bluntly, but he was not worried, he knew that Cui Yuan was more anxious than himself. He will inevitably make arrangements and the arrow will be wound. The bow has been drawn. Now he just needs to wait leisurely for this opportunity to come, Pei Jun glanced at Chu Xingshui. returned to today's topic, "Brother Runze must have come for Zhang Huan's matter!" ”

A sentence woke up Chu Xingshui, and he hurriedly said, "Yes!" I have talked to Zhang Huan, and he is willing to take refuge in Pei Xiang and agree to all of Pei Xiang's conditions. ”

"Yes! I guess that's how it should be. ”

If Zhang Huan can agree to Yan Zhenqing's proposal, it means that he still has a little sincerity, but now it is clear that he wants to use himself, he probably wants to borrow the way to return to Hedong, Zhang Huan's usefulness is not now, but in the future, Pei Jun smiled faintly and said: "He also asked to keep the Three Thousand Heavens Cavalry Camp by his side!" ”

"Yes, that's his only condition." There is something to exchange. ”

"What's that?"

"He didn't say it explicitly, but I think it should be evidence that Cui Yuan colluded to return to Hui."

"Really?" Pei Jundi had a hint of interest in his eyes, just as many things are often slowly understood later, it has been three months since the Li family was trapped in the west and surrendered to the city, Pei Juncai finally figured it out, this must be a trap set by Cui Yuan, and he was finally able to succeed Xiangguo, but there is no evidence, and this matter can only be just, now Zhang Huan actually has evidence in his hands, what will it be? A letter? He suddenly had a longing, he really wanted to see what kind of tone and words Cui Yuan wrote to Hui Khan, it must be a very interesting thing.

"What does Brother Runze think? Can the three thousand be given to him? Instead, he gently and skillfully kicked the ball to Chu Xingshui, Zhang Huan is his nephew, even if he promised Zhang Huan, this favor would be obtained from Chu Xingshui.

"Brother Tianxing, just give me a face!"

"We have been friends for many years, how can we not give this face!"

Pei Jun squinted his eyes and smiled slightly, "It seems that my Xiaoying is finally going to get married." ”

Phew! There was a sudden crisp sound outside the door, Pei Jun's face changed and he opened the door, only to see Pei Ying holding a tea tray, there was only one cup of tea in it, and the other teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

"I wasn't careful."

"You've grown so big, you've never poured me tea."

Pei Jun smiled slightly and stroked her hair lovingly, "Go ahead!" Daddy won't wronged you. ”

Pei Ying lowered her head and went without saying a word, at this time, Chu Xingshui slowly stepped forward and said with a joking smile: "Brother Tianxing, I don't owe you this favor." ”

"You're a man!" Pei Jun pointed at him, shook his head helplessly, he took out a silver medal and handed it to Chu Xingshui: "Give him this silver medal, with this Qianniuwei will not embarrass him, this matter will trouble Brother Runze." ”

.

The time slowly came to noon, the gate of the East Market was still bustling, the flow of people was like weaving, the life of ordinary people was plain, the strange situation of the imperial court had nothing to do with them, and the atmosphere on the street was calm and peaceful.

At this time, several horses galloped out from the Pingkang Fang opposite the East Market, the stout man led by Cui Xiong, his face was red, his mouth was sprayed with wine, several people walked south about a thousand steps, but turned around, entered Xuanyang Fang, just behind them about a hundred paces, a man followed them from a distance, he was very good at concealment, always when Cui Xiong turned back to look back, he disappeared in time behind the tree or in the small vendor on the side of the road.

Soon, Cui Xiong entered Xiangguo's Mansion through the side door in a flash, and the person who followed him from afar immediately turned around and ran outside Xuanyang Fang.

"Do you really see clearly?" Zhu Jiu wanted to explore Cui Yuan's physical condition again, but without waiting for him to test it, Cui Xiong directly said that the head of the family was seriously injured and would not recover in a month or two, as if he knew what he was going to ask.

Every time Zhu Zhu was able to get the information he wanted, he faintly felt that something was wrong, and today Cui Xiongdi's unpredictable prophet finally aroused his suspicions, and after drinking, he immediately sent someone to follow Cui Xiong.

"The subordinates did see clearly, Cui Xiong entered the Xiangguo Mansion through the side door."

Zhu Jun gasped, he finally understood that Cui Yuan had actually seen through himself a long time ago, but he had been allowing himself to develop, needless to say, if he wanted to move himself, it would be to take his own life.

"What should I do?" Zhu Zhu's forehead has faintly appeared sweat, he walked around the room with his hands behind his back, he is also a very ambitious person, very eager to get a piece of his own territory, in order to get rid of the fate of repeating his father, but the rich land of the Tang Dynasty has been basically divided by the families, but there is still an important piece of land that has not been occupied by the family, that is, Dugi Road, that is, Luoyang, Yang, Chenliu area, this is the core of the Central Plains, directly belongs to the imperial court, only stationed more than 20,000 local troops, Zhu Zhu took a fancy to this territory, For this reason, he and Zhang Liang reached a cooperation intention, and when the Tang Dynasty was in turmoil, he helped the Queen Mother's relatives to take it down.

But now, his ambition has been seen through by Cui Yuan, and the plan must be changed.

Zhu Jun suddenly stopped, he suddenly remembered something, and a bold thought once again rose from the bottom of his heart.

An hour later, a carriage stopped in front of Yang Qi's house, Zhu Zhu jumped out of the car, put his hand into the car, a white and tender little hand immediately put on his arm, and from the car walked a charming woman, about sixteen or seven years old, extremely beautiful, she is Zhu Jun's sister Zhu Chunyu.

Before going to Taiyuan, Yang Qi was depressed because of a sum of money, and came to Zhu Zhu to complain, Zhu Zhu ordered his sister to come out to accompany the wine, Yang Qi was stunned by her beauty at the time, and said a lot of wind with the strength of the wine, Zhu Zhu saw it in his eyes, and also remembered it in his heart, now it is time to take a move.

"You have to remember that the rise and fall of our Zhu family is on you." He was afraid that his sister would not be willing, and added: "Don't worry, as long as the eldest brother can escape this catastrophe, then you will be the queen of Bashu in the future." ”

Zhu Chunyu nodded silently, although Yang Qi was old enough to be her grandfather, she could only sacrifice herself for the sake of the family.

At this time, Yang Qi had already heard the wind, although he usually needed to walk with a cane, but at this moment he was walking like flying, saying welcome, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Zhu Chunyu.

"My sister yearns for the beautiful scenery of Bashu, I am too busy to accompany her, so I will trouble Yang Ge Lao to take her with me, Zhu Zhu will be grateful in the future!"

He beckoned to the girl, "Here!" I've seen Yang Ge Lao. ”

Zhu Chunyu smiled charmingly, stepped forward and gave a light salute, and said coquettishly: "The little girl sees Yang Ge Lao." ”

Yang Qi's soul was about to fly, he swallowed his saliva heavily, raised his head and smiled heartily: "When I saw my little sister, I suddenly felt that I was twenty years younger, rest assured!" Bashu scenery, where my little sister wants to go, I will accompany you wherever she goes. ”

Zhu Jun glanced at him and smiled coldly in his heart.
