Although Pei Yuanqing defected to Xingyang, Li Xuanba never thought that Pei Yuanqing really came for his reputation.

In fact, since Li Xuanba suffered a thunderstorm, he has no reputation at all, and if others talk about him, they basically mention his name occasionally when they talk about Yang Guang or Li Yuan.

"Going deep into the heart of the thief army, you can indeed express loyalty." Li Xuanba had a hard time understanding the thinking of the ancients, and said flatly: "But in the face of the Wagang thief, Xingyang is like meat on the chopping board, and there is no power to resist at all, if you want to establish meritorious deeds here, I am afraid that you will be disappointed." ”

"Brother Xuanba, are you planning to stay in Xingyang all the time?" Li Xuanba's words sounded a little sad, Pei Yuanqing thought of Li Xuanba's heroism in the main hall at the beginning, and it was a little difficult to adapt for a while, frowning and saying: "In addition to the Xiaoguo army, the soldiers under the command of General Zhang are the most skilled in fighting in the imperial court, although the number of Wagang thieves is large, they are all rabble, and Brother Xuanba only needs to fight back and forth with the soldiers of the Eastern Capital, and it is easy to recapture Luokou and kill Li Thief." ”

When Li Xuanba heard this, he stared at Pei Yuanqing with an idiot look, and said strangely: "Since Brother Pei thinks that Li Mi is so easy to kill, why don't you rush into Luokou with your hundred followers to take down his head?" If others hear what you have just said, I am afraid that they will think that you are a lobbyist sent by the Wagang thieves, so that I can wait to die. ”

Pei Yuanqing is very conceited about his martial arts, and after trying it with Luo Shixin, he unconsciously thinks that Zhang Xutuo's soldiers are very brave, but he doesn't know that he Pei Yuanqing has only one, and Luo Shixin has no second. He didn't want to think about it, if there were really hundreds of fierce generals like Luo Shixin in the imperial court, who would dare to mention rebellion?

was sneered at by Li Xuanba, and Pei Yuanqing calmed down. He was not a lobbyist sent by Li Mi, but Pei Renji's surrender to the Wagang thief made his position very embarrassing, and he was eager to make contributions to the imperial court so that the world could know that he, Pei Yuanqing, was still loyal to the Great Sui court. He even wanted to atone for the sins of his father and brother by establishing meritorious deeds.

The embarrassment that Pei Yuanqing faced at this time was exactly what Li Xuanba would face in the future, thinking of this, Li Xuanba's face softened a little, sighed, and said: "Brother Pei's thoughts, Xuanba understands it very well, but Li Mi is not as easy to deal with as Brother Pei thinks, otherwise with His Majesty's grand talent and strategy, he would have issued an edict to let Xuanba send troops." ”

"Yuan Qing's words are wrong, please forgive Brother Li." Pei Yuanqing arched his hand to apologize.

"Brother Pei can calm down, and Xuanba will be relieved." Li Xuanba smiled and said, "Xuanba invited Brother Pei to come because he wanted to ask Brother Pei something. ”

"Don't dare to be." Pei Yuanqing lowered his head slightly, with full etiquette.

"In the imperial court, in addition to Luoyang and Jiangdu, Taiyuan has the strongest troops, and my father is very fond of making friends with brave and insightful people, why doesn't Brother Pei go to him?" Li Xuanba returned the salute and spoke.

Pei Yuanqing was silent for a moment and replied: "Yuanqing once offended the people of the world in the main hall, with his character of retribution, where can Taiyuan tolerate Yuanqing?" Maybe without waiting for His Majesty to send an edict and punishment, Yuan Qing is already in a different place. ”

In later generations, Pei Yuanqing and Yuwen Chengdu only appeared in novels, but Li Xuanba is now in the Sui Dynasty and has seen the two of them with his own eyes, so he naturally no longer thinks that they are all illusory characters, so he is very curious, why did Pei Yuanqing and Yuwen Chengdu disappear in history?

"Brother Xuanba, is it really as unbearable as Brother Pei said?" Li Xuanba seemed to think of something, frowned unconsciously, and fell in Pei Yuanqing's eyes, he still thought that Li Xuanba and Li Shimin had a deep brotherhood, and he didn't like his remarks.

"Shimin is the son of Tang Guogong, he is intelligent and incomparable, and he is naturally more conceited than ordinary people." The words had already been spoken, and Pei Yuanqing couldn't take it back, so he made up his mind and said: "Yuan Qing injured him in the main hall at the beginning, and everyone's eyes were on Yuan Qing, but Yuan Qing has always put his mind on Brother Li, so he saw the resentful eyes of the people of the world and the picture of him and Brother Li whispering. ”

Everyone in the world thought that Tang Guogong was deeply affectionate in protecting calves, so he asked Li Xuanba to teach Pei Yuanqing a lesson, but Tang Guogong and Pei Shiji were both members of the imperial court, how could Li Xuanba seriously injure Pei Yuanqing because of the matter between young people? Fortunately, Li Xuanba was like an idiot at the time, and others only thought that he was out of proportion, and did not think of other places.

Although Li Yuan knew the whole story, he couldn't stand up and say that it was Li Shimin who instigated Li Xuanba to hurt Pei Yuanqing.

Li Xuanba's mind was a little confused, he believed Pei Yuanqing's words very much, after all, Pei Yuanqing was cornered, there was no need to risk offending himself to tell such a lie.

"No one is perfect, Xuanba apologizes for his brother." Li Xuanba's face changed slightly, and he said very calmly: "Xuanba won't take this matter to heart, but Xuanba must remind Brother Pei that since you have come to Xingyang, please think twice about everything, Xingyang County will not accept anyone twice." ”

Li Xuanba was warning Pei Yuanqing not to rush out of the city, Pei Yuanqing was not a stupid person, he understood what Li Xuanba meant, nodded, and left.

When faced with unknown things, people will always become at a loss, and Li Xuanba at this time is in such a state. After Pei Yuanqing left, he sat on the main seat alone, deep in thought.

When Luo Shixin got the right weapon, he was able to defeat Xu Shiji, and his ability was undoubted, and Pei Yuanqing did not use all his strength to fight with Luo Shixin, which shows that Pei Yuanqing is indeed extraordinary. How can such a character be forgotten by history?

"Are you really going to erase a person from history for a little thing?" After a long time, Li Xuanba sighed faintly, with an inscrutable expression on his face, and said to himself: "Pei Yuanqing offended you, what about Yuwen Chengdu and Li Xuanba?" ”

The stable life in Xingyang did not make Li Xuanba forget to think, he had been thinking about this question for a long time, and it was not until he had a conversation with Pei Yuanqing just now that he realized that some things happened not by coincidence.

Li Shimin sent the eldest grandson Wuji to his side, and his purpose should not be simply to protect himself, otherwise the eldest grandson Wuji would not have chosen to flee when his identity was exposed, and he did not return to Li Shimin.

"Yuwen Chengdu's name has been erased, is it because of my relationship?" Li Xuanba's mind suddenly popped up with such a thought, only to see his brows furrowed deeper, in the dim light, with his appearance, it was daunting.

Liang Xiao was used to Li Xuanba's appearance, so he walked to the hall very calmly, and Li Xuanba heard footsteps and glanced at him. Liang Xiao bowed and said, "Childe hasn't gone out, the villain is a little worried, and there is no response when he knocks on the door, so he rushes in, and I hope Childe will forgive me." ”

"Are you worried that Pei Yuanqing will hurt me?" Li Xuanba was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "He has been in Xingyang for so long, he can naturally see that even if he kills me, it will not affect the morale of the soldiers, in this case, why should he let himself and his entourage accompany him to the funeral?" ”

Li Xuanba still had one sentence in his heart that he didn't say, that is, Pei Yuanqing might not be able to hurt him.

"How can a villain's thoughts be as thoughtful as a child." Liang Xiao scratched his head shyly and said. has been by Li Xuanba's side for a long time, and it is easy to be influenced by Li Xuanba, and he will make head-scratching movements when he is embarrassed, Li Gou is like this, Li Jiuzhi is like this, and now Liang Xiao is not exempt from vulgarity.

"The situation in the Eastern Capital is not very optimistic, it's time for Mr. Wei to do something to prepare." Li Xuanba didn't joke about Liang Xiao, but said very seriously: "While Li Mi has not yet besieged the Eastern Capital, you can go to Luoyang for me." ”
