Not to mention Zu Ti's entanglement, not to mention Wei Shuo's small actions in secret, just Pei Dun who was hiding in Xiapi. Since he came to Xiapi, although he has stayed away from the threat of the Hu people, he has also received less attention. After all, the current anti-Hu is the top priority, and there is no one who does not care about the big families or the common people.

Especially after the victory in Liuxian County, Pei Dun's life in Xiapi was even more difficult. There is gossip that Sima Rui, the king of Langya, who is far away in Jiangdong, is very dissatisfied with his performance and wants to use Zu Ti to serve as the assassin of Xuzhou on his behalf.

Hearing this news, Pei Dun couldn't stay any longer. But does he have any excuse to go back to Pengcheng again, if he runs back to Pengcheng without saying hello, it is very likely that the outside world will think that he is jealous of Zu Ti and wants to steal credit. As a famous family, once such a reputation is rumored, then the Pei family will be shameless?

It doesn't matter if Zu Ti is a poor scholar, but Zu Ti is also from a big family in the Northland, although the ancestral family is not as good as the Pei family, but he will never let the Pei family handle it. Once he tears his face, not to mention whether Pei Dun will get the credit in the end, if Zu Di leaves Xuzhou in a rage, who will help him fight against Hu?

Just when Pei Dun was worried about restlessness day and night, he suddenly received a letter from the family in Pengcheng. In the letter, these families tearfully complained to Pei Dun about Wei Shuo's bad deeds, not only describing him as a villain who does all kinds of evil, but also slandering Wei Shuo for making soldiers and armor privately and plotting to rebel.

Pei Dun was overjoyed after receiving the letter, and his excuse for waiting finally appeared. Without saying a word, Pei Dun insisted on returning to Pengcheng in a hurry with a few guards despite the dissuasion of his family, and as for the family's complaint against Wei Shuo for rebellion, he didn't believe it at all. As for making paper armor for his own use in private, Wei Shuo had already told him, but he didn't take it to heart at all.

Paper armor? What's that? Pei Dun only knew that paper was used for writing, and he never believed that armor could be made.

When Thorn Shi's car appeared on the streets of Pengcheng, it immediately caused a wave inside and outside Pengcheng. After Zu Ti got the news, he felt bitter in his heart. He never expected that before Hu Ren appeared, there was a housekeeper mother-in-law above his head.

As soon as Pei Dun comes back, he will inevitably change the power structure in Pengcheng, and in the past, Zu Ti could still use Pei Dun's tiger skin to scare those big families, but I am afraid that this trick will not work in the future. This time, Pei Dun returned to Pengcheng under the guise of adjusting the contradiction between Wei Shuo and the family, if he really thought like this and did it, then it would be good, I am afraid that Pei Dun has other thoughts.

After Pei Dun came back, his every move attracted the attention of all parties. However, Pei Dun didn't make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, neither summoned Wei Shuo to scold him, nor did he rush to take over the power in Zu Ti's hands, which made people a little confused for a while.

"Brother Wei, what do you say Pei Tingshi is planning?"

Wei Shuo glanced at Zhang Erlang and said, "I'm not a roundworm in his stomach, how can I know what the other party thinks?" No matter what Pei Dun thinks, we just need to execute it according to the original plan and everything will be fine. Have all the things in the camp been removed? ”

Zhang Erlang wiped his mouth, wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth and replied: "The important things have been transported away, and those craftsmen and their families have all been transferred to Zhuqi County. Now there are only a large number of paper armor and round shields left in the camp, which are all left in advance according to the instructions of the eldest brother. ”

"Well, that's good, by the way, don't forget to encourage the people of Pengchengguo to move to the eastern seaboard." Wei Shuo nodded with satisfaction.

"Knowing Brother Wei, in fact, there have been about 10,000 people following our transport team recently and moving to the eastern coastal areas. Zhu Qi's Liang County Commander has long been ready to respond, and will never let a single person live on the streets. Zhang Erlang patted his chest and reassured.

……

Pei Dun didn't let others wait too long, and he quickly made a move. On the second day after returning to Pengcheng, Pei Dun generously came to the military camp outside the city to inspect. After Wei Shuo learned about it, he led his generals to form a formation at the gate of the barracks and warmly welcomed the arrival of Lord Assassin.

"Guard Cao, you really didn't disappoint the official, this time the victory in the county was thanks to your subordinate Erlang who blocked the Hu people, so that General Zu and others calmly annihilated the Hu people's forward army." As soon as Pei Dun came up, he praised Wei Shuo fiercely, not at all like he was looking for fault.

As the saying goes: 'Reach out and don't hit the smiling man!' Wei Shuo didn't want to shake his face to show him, and said with a smile: "This is all the credit of General Zu and Lord Thorn Shi, and the humble position is just a small favor."

Actually, Wei Shuo is very annoying to Pei Dun, do you say that you can stay in Xiapi well? Why did you run to Pengcheng again if you had nothing to do? Isn't that a problem for him? At the beginning, Wei Shuo promised Pei Yinger to protect Pei Dun's safety, but he really didn't care about Pei Dun's life or death. The best way now is to fool Pei Dun back to Xiapi.

"Lord Thorn Shi is not enjoying Qingfu in Xiapi, why did he return to Pengcheng again?" Maybe Wei Shuo's mentality is a little problematic, so how do you listen to the words with thorns.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Pei Dun's face, and then he laughed heartily: "Hahaha, it seems that the guard Cao is a little dissatisfied with Pei Mou hiding in Xiapi to enjoy happiness!" Well, that's right, as the assassin of a state, this official can't lift a sword to defend against the enemy, and he can't appease the people, so he is really ashamed of his trust in His Majesty and the imperial court. ”

"Now it is a critical moment for Xuzhou to resist Hu, and this time the official specially rushed from Xiapi to cheer up the generals in Pengcheng, and hope that the generals will make persistent efforts to drive the Hu people out of Xuzhou as soon as possible and return the people of Xuzhou to peace."

"Lord Wei, don't you invite this official to visit the barracks?"

"Oh, don't dare, please!" Wei Shuo hurriedly turned sideways and led Pei Dun into the camp.

Looking at the neat and uniform soldiers, Pei Dun couldn't help but praise: "No wonder everyone says that Master Wei is a military training wizard, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation!" ”

"Your Excellency has won a prize!" Wei Shuo said modestly.

When they arrived at the camp, the tea came up, Pei Dun sat in the first place, and Wei Shuo sat on the side. At this time, Pei Duncai's face turned pale and said, "Guard Cao, how did you do it?" Why did you offend all your colleagues? ”

Wei Shuo sneered secretly, didn't bother to answer at all, and just drank tea. He didn't have much friendship with Pei Dun, and Pei Dun didn't use him to defend Shuo, and it wasn't forced by the situation. Therefore, Wei Shuo's little love for Pei Dun came from Pei Ying'er's mother and daughter.

Pei Dun thought that as soon as he spoke, Wei Shuo would immediately tremble and ask for guilt, and then he took the opportunity to push the boat and asked Wei Shuo to hand over the paper armor workshop, so that he also had an explanation for the family in Pengcheng, and finally gave Wei Shuo a promotion to comfort one or two, wouldn't the contradiction between the two sides be resolved?

However, Pei Dun didn't expect that in the face of his questioning, Wei Shuo was not moved at all, and still looked light, as if he hadn't heard what he said just now. In the face of Wei Shuo's naked contempt, the anger in Pei Dun's heart could no longer be suppressed.

He trembled and was about to open his mouth to take it down, when he suddenly found that there were heavily armed soldiers all around, and this time it was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, and the cold sweat soaked Pei Dun's underwear. At this time, he realized that Wei Shuo in front of him was no longer the little Yantian envoy who was submissive in front of him, and now he had thousands of elite soldiers, which was much stronger than his smooth assassin history.

Boom! Pei Dun swallowed his saliva and trembled: "That...... That, Wei ...... Guard Cao ...... Just ......"

Wei Shuo smiled, as if he didn't see Pei Dun's embarrassment, took a sip of tea and said, "Master Pei, let's tell you directly, this workshop will never be handed over." However, if anyone is willing to trade food for him, I can provide him with some paper armor. ”

"After I go back, I hope Master Pei will tell those people in the city that one stone of grain can be exchanged for fifteen pairs of paper armor. There are now nearly 2,000 ready-made paper armors in his hands, and if any of them are interested, please ask them to prepare food. Also, if they still want paper armor in the future, they can continue to contact the following. ”

"Master Pei, what do you think of my suggestion?"

"Very good, very good, everything is done according to Lord Wei's orders!" Pei Dun wiped the sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly agreed, but he didn't dare to mention other conditions. After staying in the barracks for a while, Pei Dun couldn't stay any longer, so he had to get up and say goodbye.
