At the beginning, Wang Shichong valued them very much because Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan were brave and good at fighting, and after usurping Sui and ascending the throne, Pei Renji was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Pei Xingyan was the general of Zuofu, and his niece was married to Pei Xingyan, which can be said to be a great use for their father and son.

Pei Renji, Pei Xingyan's father and son surrendered to Wang Shichong was originally just forced by the situation, but seeing Wang Shichong using himself so much, he also felt quite relieved, and had the idea of fully serving Wang Shichong.

But later, Wang Shichong gradually became suspicious of their father and son because the prestige of Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan's father and son in Li Mi's old department was too high, and not only sent secret sentries to the Pei family's residences to monitor, but also placed small report figures in the positions of the Pei family's father and son, so that those people told him every day about the words and deeds of the Pei family's father and son.

Pei Renji, Pei Xingyan, father and son gradually realized the means that Wang Shichong had arranged for him, and felt uneasy in his heart, afraid that Wang Shichong would poison them one day.

So he plotted with Shangshu Zuo Cheng Yuwen Rutong, Yuwen Rutong's brother Shangshi Zhichang Yuwen Wen, and Cui Deben, a regular attendant of the loose cavalry, to kill Wang Shichong and his henchmen, and re-respect Yang Tong, the lord of Huangtai, as the monarch.

However, how could their plan be concealed from the suspicious and sick Wang Shichong?

Yuwen Rutong, Yuwen Wen Brothers and Cui Deben are all staunch royalists, bent on restoring the Sui family, after the emperor was abolished by Wang Shichong, the three of them contacted and walked around in many ways, which had already attracted Wang Shichong's attention, but Wang Shichong has always adopted the strategy of putting a long line and catching big fish for the three of them, and has been secretly observing, and has not launched.

So when Pei Renji, Pei Xingyan, father and son recently had a little closer contact with Yuwen Rutong, Yuwen brothers and Cui Deben, Wang Shichong, who started with conspiracy, immediately guessed what was going on.

On the evening of the tenth day of July, Wang Shichong returned to Luoyang from the front line and was about to celebrate a banquet in the palace.

Just when Pei Renji and his son were about to leave the hall to bathe and change clothes, thinking that they were preparing to enter the palace, suddenly a housekeeper walked in with a token, "Master, eldest son, someone took this token and came to ask for a meeting." ”

Pei Renji took the token and glanced at it, and his face suddenly changed, "Bring the future to my study, don't let the idlers and others get close to him." ”

The housekeeper immediately left with a serious expression, and Pei Xingyan seemed to recognize the origin of the token, "Dad, is this really my brother's token?" ”

Pei Renji nodded, and said with a little melancholy: "This is the tiger card that the old general Zhang Xutuo personally created for him back then, and the handwriting on it is the handwriting of the old general, and there will be no second piece in this world." ”

Pei Renji said, and walked to the study, and Pei Xingyan followed.

After Pei Renji, Pei Xingyan, father and son sat quietly in the study for a while, there was a knock on the door, "Master, someone brought it." ”

"Come in!" Pei Renji replied indifferently. The door was pushed open, and in came a man wearing a shabby hat, who took it off and showed a handsome face.

"Brother Luo, it's really you!" Pei Xingyan immediately stepped forward happily. It turned out that the person who came was Li Yin's general Luo Shixin.

"General Pei, Brother Pei!" Luo Shixin saluted the Pei family's father and son.

The relationship between Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan is very good, after Zhang Xutuo Dahai Temple was killed by Li Mi, Luo Shixin finally came under Pei Renji, and it was at that time that he befriended Pei Xingyan, because the two were not much different in age, and they were both brave and fierce in the army, so they hit it off at first sight and often learned martial arts from each other.

Later, Pei Renji made it difficult for Xiao Huaijing, the superintendent of the army, so he planned to take refuge in Li Mi, Luo Shixin was killed by Li Mi, so he was reluctant to take refuge, and he happened to hear that the Li family had entered the main Guanzhong, and Lingwu Gong Li Yin had been in Zhang Xutuo's death, so he let the whole city of Yanmen County hang a white sail, so he left the tiger prison alone and rode into the Guanzhong alone......

When Luo Shixin left the tiger prison, Pei Renji also knew about it, but he didn't obstruct it, so the relationship between the two sides was okay, but I don't know why Luo Shixin appeared here at this time.

Luo Shixin seemed to see Pei Renji's doubts, and he didn't say any more nonsense, and went straight to the point: "General Pei, Brother Pei, I am sent by His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and there are spies in the Jin Palace's Mansion in Luoyang, according to the news they have inquired, Wang Shichong will arrest you at the celebration banquet tonight." ”

After Luo Shixin said this, Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan were shocked, and both of them were shocked and uncertain on their faces, obviously suspicious of Luo Shixin's words, which is also common sense, after all, although the relationship between the two sides is good, they are in two hostile camps at this time.

Luo Shixin said: "The spies of the Jin Palace's mansion are all over the world, which can be seen from the fact that he saved Zhai Rang thousands of miles back then, according to the news from the secret agents of the Jin Palace, Wang Shichong has now laid a knife and axe in the palace, as long as you enter the palace, it will be unfavorable to you." ”

After Luo Shixin said this, he hugged his fists to Pei Renji and his son: "That's all I want to say, believe it or not, if you believe it, you will go to the pine and bamboo forest ten miles north of the city within an hour, and I will wait for you there." ”

After Luo Shixin finished speaking, he put on the broken hat, turned around and pushed open the door of the study, and walked out quickly.

Pei Renji's father and son looked at each other for a while, and Pei Xingyan said: "Dad, I don't think Brother Luo is a person who can trick us. ”

Pei Renji pondered for a long time, and suddenly realized something, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "Could it be that Wang Shichong knows about our recent scheme?" ”

After thinking about it like this, Pei Renji suddenly felt that many things had been figured out, "I'm still wondering why Wang Shichong suddenly wants to come back to hold a celebration banquet now that the front-line war is tight, and now it seems that I am afraid that I will come back and target our father and son!" ”

Pei Xingyan's face showed ruthlessness, "Dad, if we don't do it, we will go to the palace now!" "Pei Xing is a master of art and boldness, although they don't have many troops at their disposal now, they are not intimidated at all.

Pei Renji hurriedly shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Wang Shichong is seriously suspicious, and he has deployed a lot of troops in the palace, just with our few men, we can't help him, let's leave Luoyang and make plans!" ”

After Pei Xingyan heard this, he gave up.

Subsequently, the father and son of the Pei family immediately packed up their belongings, hurried out of Luoyang City with their personal guards, and went straight to the north of the city.

Wang Shichong, who had been waiting for a long time in the palace, waited left and right to see the Pei family father and son enter the palace, and sent someone to inquire a little, only to finally know the news that the Pei family father and son had left the city overnight, and hurriedly sent troops to chase them, but the Pei family father and son were received by Luo Shixin, who had already arranged the road all the way, and quickly arrived at the place controlled by the Tang Dynasty......
