Chapter 71: Pei Yi's Death
Behind the Golden Horse Hall are the four surnames of Guanzhong, Jingzhao Wei, Hedong Xue, Hedong Pei, and Hedong Liu. After Yang Chong finished reading the news of the three treasures, Pei Yi knew in the afternoon that the business of the jewelry store could be ignored, but Pei Yi knew that Yang Chong and Duhu Yu appeared together, which meant that Yang Chong had time. So Pei Yi immediately rushed to Yang's house in Maqianfang, waited for Yang Chong to return home, and waited until the time for the lamp to be held, and Yang Chong came back.
When Yang Chong walked into the living room, Meng Kunpeng was talking with Pei Yi; Seeing Yang Chong come in, Pei Yi got up and saluted and said, "Yang Chong, I came to you to get an idea, that Shi Shu Huxi ran back, can I do business in the Western Regions this time?" ”
Yang Chong said funny: "Pei Yi, you should go and ask Master Pei Jupei." Now he is arranging the affairs of the entire Western Regions, can you take a trip, he knows better than me. ”
Pei Yi waved his hand and said: "We don't tell lies between us, this time the eldest grandson Xian went to Gaochang, so he didn't agree to go with me, but the goods in the family have been prepared, and it will definitely not work if you don't go." ”
Yang Chong groaned: "Looking at it this way, you'd better not take risks. ”
Eldest Sun Xian's move would not be groundless, Yang Chong could only persuade Pei Yi like this, after all, Shi Shu Huxi had a background in Zhaowu Nine Cities and Turkic, and it was best not to give him a chance. Pei Yi's face changed slightly: "However, if I give up the messenger this time, it will be equivalent to losing this messenger forever, how many people in the clan are staring at it." ”
There are thousands of households in the west of the Pei family in Hedong, and I don't know how many children in the clan are staring at Pei Yi's position, Pei Yi's worries are not unreasonable, Yang Chong smiled and said: "Only when people live can they have a future." Pei Yi, take a longer view, without the envoy of the Western Regions, you really don't live anymore? If you really want to go, you should contact Master Pei first and ask him to arrange someone to help you. ”
Pei Yi wanted to speak and stopped, Meng Kunpeng got up and left with a smile, Pei Yi lowered his voice and said: "I suspect that there is something wrong with my uncle's people, and when the clan began to receive goods, I contacted them, but the four locations in Yumen Pass have already been empty. ”
Yang Chong naturally knew what this news meant, the people in these locations either encountered accidents or were transferred to other places, and only the bigwigs in the center could complete such an action. Yang Chong sincerely persuaded: "Pei Yi, since you know the situation, why bother reluctantly." I understand that for you, the trust and honor of the family are more important than anything else, but when you calm down and think about it from a different perspective, you will find that you are better than anything else in staying in Chang'an. At least when we have time, we can get together and have a drink and chat. ”
Pei Yi still had a hard time making up his mind in the end, and left with a lot of heart, Meng Kunpeng and Jiang Fei, who had been listening outside the house, walked in one after another, and the two of them had deep internal strength and heard the conversation just now clearly. Meng Kunpeng knew about Shi Shu's Huxi incident, and sighed: "Every political incident involves many innocent people and makes them change their fate; Your senior brother once wanted to go to the next level in the organ, but after being implicated in the Yuwenxin incident, he never dared to mention it again. ”
Yuwen Xin is a rebel disobedience, if Yu Wenkai continues to work on the weapon of killing, what will Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian think, only God knows, Yuwen Kai can only specialize in the art of civil engineering; And Feng Qiquan, who continued to study the art of organs, chose to support himself and worship under the head of Yu Zhangdao, who never accepted apprentices. At that time, Yu Zhangdaochang's body was already getting worse day by day, Lou Guan and Yu Zhangdaochang both hoped to have a suitable successor, Feng Qiqian's conditions were just right, and Yu Zhangdaochang died a year later, and Feng Qicheng accepted the mantle.
The past is gone, Yang Chong and Jiang Fei listened to it, and they were also embarrassed, Yang Chong then understood why Yu Wenkai and Zhuge Ying couldn't wait to become the heirs of Zhuge River as soon as they found out that they had potential. Because both of them are afraid of the changes in the world, if they stay in the Central Plains for a long time, they will change their minds because of things like wealth, power, danger, and enmity, and they may no longer be interested in mechanical arts for some reason.
Yang Chong looked at the bright moon outside the window and said slowly: "If there is no criminal law, robbers are the best profession in the world; But the greater the risk, the higher the reward, and Pei Yi is now just having a hard time choosing between greed and safety. To heaven, to the ground, or to be an ordinary person, it is completely in everyone's heart, only by doing it, can you know how God wants to treat you, whether it is Pei Yi, senior brother, including us, can not escape this fate. ”
Meng Kunpeng and Jiang Fei were both surprised when they heard Yang Chong say such a profound understanding for the first time, Jiang Fei smiled and said: "It's not that serious, although Shi Shu Huxi is also a famous businessman in the Western Regions, and now he is under the tent of Qimin Khan, but the Western Regions is the territory of Luo Khan, do you say that Shooting will sit idly by?" ”
Yang Chong shook his head and said: "It's not that simple, Shi Shu Hu Xi and Pei Ju, and even Changsun Sheng all have an intelligence network in their hands, and they must all have the ability to take action, if Pei Yi goes, it is not a question of whether Shi Shu Hu Xi will do it, but whether all parties will make a fuss about him and deliberately create an opportunity or an event." As long as any party has this thought, Pei Yi's result is doomed, that place in the Western Regions is thousands of miles in the desert, even if it is a muddy place Luo Khan and a shot, how much can it manage? ”
Yang Chong is from a modern society, has a vision that Meng Kunpeng and Jiang Fei do not have, and also has information that Meng Kunpeng does not know, so he is naturally not optimistic about Pei Yi's westward journey. Yang Chong didn't believe that things in the Western Regions would be as simple as they saw now, who was Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui, how could he spend so much strength to get back a craftsman and admit defeat? If Yang Guang was such a person, he would not have conquered Goguryeo three times in history, so that the Sui Dynasty would have collapsed in a few years.
After coming to the Sui Dynasty for more than a year, Yang Chong found that people at this time were far more trustworthy than people in modern society in later generations, and the sales and sales in the store were not said on credit at will, and 90% of the time, there was not even an IOU; There are also craftsmen, if Zhang San comes up with a unique job, even if there are great benefits, as long as Zhang San doesn't nod, Li Si can do it, and he won't compete for customers. But it is precisely this that makes Yang Chong a little wary of no matter who he is at present.
Because Yang Chong didn't know if this person had promised others before he met him, Yang Chong knew that he couldn't withstand the wind and waves, so after Yang Chong saw Meng Kunpeng again, he never said anything about the bronze medal of the Tiger in the Great Desert Temple. As for Jiang Fei, Yang Chong wouldn't say that Yang Chong was still confused, and he couldn't understand what the purpose of Feng Qiquan and the ghost nun was to make such a flower-like beauty go to his own home to practice.
Pei Yi finally went to the Western Regions, and on the third day of the caravan out of Yumen Pass, he was attacked by a small group of Chijin Turks near the desert, and in the melee, Pei Yi was killed by an arrow. And Duhu Usur saw Gao Gong in Xianyang, the old man was extremely stubborn, and no matter how Duhu U explained, he refused to reveal a little more information.
