Chapter 197: The Pei Brothers

It was dark and he couldn't see the road, relying on the torch in his hand, Liu Yan felt very surprised, at this time, Chu Shenxia actually pulled him to Liu's mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Zhengsheng was also very surprised by their arrival, and hurriedly welcomed them in and said, "Your Highness, Mr. is visiting late at night, what is the big deal?" ”

Liu Yan just said softly: "Let's go in and talk about it." ”

When he arrived in the house, Liu Zhengsheng looked out of the window again and said, "Your Highness can speak now." ”

"Your Highness and I came here to tell Lord Liu that our alliance with Wang Quanming is just a pretense. In fact, sooner or later, the Jiangcheng forces will have to be eliminated, and Wang Quanming is also very clear about this. Therefore, his alliance with us is only a pretense to get rid of us. Chu Shenxia sat down and said quickly.

When Liu Zhengsheng heard this, he frowned and was silent, and walked two steps and said: "In that case, Wang Quanming sent people to hunt down and kill the Ji family on purpose, right...... The man behind him? Is it Liu Yu? ”

Liu Yan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, it is indeed Liu Yu, Liu Yu who attacked the Liu family, and Liu Yu who attacked the Ji family, and the next one is either the Zhu family or the East Palace." ”

"This Liu Yu! It was so vicious, I knew that at that time, I would swear to investigate the headless case to the end, and I would never let Liu Yu return to the court! Liu Zhengsheng slapped the table in annoyance, but his hands were red from shock.

Chu Shenxia glanced at his somewhat blue face, and comforted: "Lord Liu doesn't have to be so angry, Liu Yu's return to the court is not necessarily a good thing, and I believe that we have the ability to pull him down." ”

"Yes, Your Highness has this ability, and Your Highness will do your best to help." Liu Zhengsheng looked at Liu Yan when he heard this, sighed, and suddenly raised his head again and said, "Why didn't Your Highness tell me during the day?" If it's quiet in the dead of night, is there anything else? ”

Liu Yan glanced at Chu Shenxia, and Chu Shenxia spoke: "It's not appropriate for the Ji family to show up now, let them put away all their actions." so as not to be exposed. Anyway, with us, if we miss Ji's, we won't be tied up in Jiankang. ”

Liu Zhengsheng couldn't help nodding, and asked the question in his heart again: "Why don't I let them thoroughly investigate Jiankang City." How about hiding in Linxian for a while? ”

"Eh, no, if you let them withdraw at this time, it is undoubtedly a clue to Liu Yu's people, but it will set him on fire. It is better to brake statically. Don't do anything, live the life of the people peacefully, and no one can find out. Chu Shenxia hurriedly shook his head and explained.

Liu Yan also nodded and said: "What Shen Xia said is right, at this time, you must calm down, don't give Liu Yu a chance." ”

Liu Zhengsheng thought twice before he said sincerely: "Okay, I remember what Your Highness said to Mr., and I will definitely cut off all clues and put an end to Liu Yu's pursuit." ”

"You're right to think so, Jiangcheng. You don't have any revenge for the time being, in short, just let Ji's stone sink into the sea. It's okay to report this later. Liu Yan saw that he should respond, and said with satisfaction.

When the two of them came out of Liu's Mansion, it was almost close to the curfew time, and they quickly whipped up, but they were still stopped by the person on duty tonight.

Pei Chendong saw that it was the two of them, and he knew that he couldn't stop them, but he still couldn't help but want to embarrass them. He immediately spoke: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, where did this come from?" The big night is also this interest......"

Unexpectedly, Liu Yan didn't intend to give him a chance to embarrass at all, and said angrily: "Get out of the way!" There's still a quarter of an hour before the curfew, and it's not your turn to be a dog here! ”

Pei Chendong's face turned pale. His eyes were round with angry eyes, but as soon as he spoke, another person on horseback spoke again: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is talking to you, didn't you hear?" Don't want to dodge it quickly? If you delay the major event of His Royal Highness the Prince, will you delay it? ”

Pei Chendong was stunned, and his heart was naturally uncomfortable. But he didn't dare to stop them anymore, so he had to step aside and let them go.

At this moment, Wang Qin suddenly brought someone to change the guard, Pei Chendong was taken aback and said, "Isn't my second brother on duty tonight?" What happened to Commander Wang? ”

"General Pei said that he was not feeling well today, so he asked me to wait for him to be on duty." Wang Qin explained.

Pei Chendong's heart trembled, and he muttered: "Second brother is not in good health, what's going on?" Oh, then thank you Commander Wang, and I'll go home. ”

When he arrived at Pei's house, most of the Pei family had already fallen asleep, Pei Chendong walked into his second brother's courtyard with very light steps, and saw that his room was brightly lit, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

So he knocked on the door and said, "Second brother? Haven't you slept yet? ”

"Come in."

Hearing an extremely low voice from the room, Pei Chendong felt that his body seemed to be not very good, and after pushing the door in, he found him lying in front of the table and drinking.

"Second brother, you are not in good health, why are you still drinking? Stop drinking and go to bed. Pei Chendong said and went to pull him.

Pei Shudong suddenly grabbed his wrist, stared at him tightly with eagle-eyed eyes, and said, "You sit down." ”

Such a concise three words shocked Pei Chendong's heart, and he was forced to sit down slowly and said, "Second...... Second brother, what's wrong with you? ”

"You tell me," Pei Shudong's eyelids were raised and drooped, and the whole person seemed to be in the clouds, but the words he said were very powerful, "How did the eldest brother die?" ”

was shaken by the hand he was holding, Pei Chendong's mouth couldn't help but tremble, and he forced himself to calm down: "The eldest brother was killed by Chu Shenyu, why did the second brother suddenly mention this matter?" ”

"Because...... Someone told me that my eldest brother was killed by you. Pei Shudong grabbed his hand and slammed it, Pei Chendong only felt that his wrist was about to be crushed by him, so he hurriedly shook off his hand and said, "Second brother drank too much, he started talking nonsense, I went out first, second brother...... Rest early. ”

As he spoke, he went out, but he saw a short sword with the wind, passing by his face, and throwing it at the door in front of him, and he could not help but look back.

I only heard Uncle Pei say: "If you don't make it clear today, don't think of going out of this door, and don't call me second brother!" ”

Pei Chendong was worried in his heart, he didn't know who he heard it from, his legs trembled, and he leaned against the door and said, "Who said these words to the second brother?" He must have wanted to separate our brothers, a lot of things have happened in the court recently, and King Qing's family has come to a tragic end. Maybe the next thing is our Pei family, second brother, don't listen to people to provoke. ”

Pei Shudong lowered his eyes and listened, but he didn't make a sound, and after a while, he suddenly staggered to his feet. Pei Chendong saw it in his eyes, he was very scared, and couldn't help but retreat and said, "Second brother, second brother...... It was instigated by someone, don't believe it. ”

"I just want to ask you, did you kill the eldest brother?" Pei Shudong walked up to him, stared at him firmly with a pair of terrifying eyes, didn't give him a chance to breathe, and continued to ask, "You look into my eyes and say!" Did you kill the eldest brother?! ”

The soles of Pei Chendong's feet slipped, and he almost fell, swallowing his saliva with difficulty: "Second ...... Second brother, if I say yes, is it ...... Are you still going to kill me? ”

He only thought that so many years had passed, and the murderer and the chief judge at that time were dead, and no matter how much he was investigated, he could not be held accountable. In addition, they are brothers, how can Pei Shudong be willing to attack him, the main reason is that he can't look directly at Pei Shudong's gaze, it's too terrifying.

So, I just said such a sentence.

But Pei Shudong was different from what he thought, two lines of tears suddenly flowed out of his already red eyes, he looked at it with a complicated expression, and suddenly stepped back and said, "You...... You...... Unexpectedly...... Really...... It's you ......."

"I was unintentional, and my heart was devastated for so many years. Second brother, second brother, forgive me, it's been so long, I don't forget to burn paper money for my eldest brother every year. Pei Chendong's face suddenly shed tears of pain.

"Good...... Good ......" Pei Shudong kept going back, and only stopped when he hit the table, his eyes were on the saber on the table, and he actually picked up the knife and said to Pei Chendong, "Big brother has always treated you and me well, even if you do something wrong, you shouldn't put the responsibility on the irrelevant person to be your substitute ghost." ”

Pei Chendong was stunned and stammered, "Second brother, you ...... What are you trying to do? Want to kill ...... Kill me? ”

"Do you really not feel a trace of guilt in your heart? The people of our Pei family are all men who shed blood on the battlefield, and it is our family motto to dare to act, how can you be so intimidating? Pei Shudong said, taking two steps forward, "Even if the dead eldest brother forgives you, Chu Shenxia will not forgive you, and even I will not forgive you." ”

"It turned out that Chu Shenxia said it." Pei Chendong gritted his teeth and said, seeing that the knife in Pei Shudong's hand was getting closer and closer to him, his heart jumped violently, and he hurriedly stepped back and said, "Second brother, you are too ruthless, our brothers have been brothers for more than ten years, and you actually want to kill me today!" ”

Without waiting for Pei Shudong to speak, he suddenly flashed out of the door, and Pei Shudong suddenly hit the door, but he couldn't open it.

Although Pei Chendong ran out quickly, he still looked back with some anxiety, and saw that the big golden lock was still hanging firmly on the door, and he couldn't let go.

The next day, Pei Chendong was not seen in Pei's house, Pei Shudong rushed to his room, but saw that the valuable soft in his room was gone, and he must have escaped from the house overnight.

However, at this time, he suddenly remembered Chu Shenxia's advice, telling him not to think about running away no matter what, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Last night, he was drunk so high that he raised his knife to face him, and if he said those words when he was awake today, he would never be so impulsive, and he regretted it at the moment.

The emperor was very depressed when he learned that Pei Chendong had disappeared, his behavior was not much different from dereliction of duty.

Thinking that the people were gone and the position could not be vacant, he handed over the position of deputy commander to Yang Yin, who was sent to the barracks a few days ago.
