Although Pei Mingcui changed her tone when she spoke, her arrogance remained undiminished, and Gao Shiqing could only smile and nod bitterly when she heard it, "Miss Pei is right." ”

In fact, what he wanted to say in his heart was that I was only afraid that Xiao Buyi was not a man, otherwise how could he refuse this temptation, but Pei Mingcui's thoughts, he didn't want to refute it.

"How's your investigation?" Pei Mingcui's eyes flickered, so that no one could see that she was a rough person, and she was very arrogant.

"Xiao Buyi seems to have been born as a horse bandit," Gao Shiqing said in a condensed voice: "He sent two of his men back, and I sent people to follow them to the west, although I didn't find their foothold, but according to my calculations, they are as far away as the border area, and it is unlikely that they will cross the river." It is close to the Yellow River in the west, the Great Wall in the north, and the mountains are continuous, which the imperial court cannot manage, and there are many Turkic soldiers. ”

"If you have not found where they have landed, how can you see where they have landed?" Pei Mingcui asked carefully.

"I didn't let people follow them too far, but I calculated from their feet." Gao Shiqing smiled, "Because Xiao Buyi is obviously more than three people ready to do business, that Yang Dezhi and Arrow just went before, and they will return at noon today, and they will bring a few more people back." I've calculated the fastest horsepower for the round trip. ”

"Oh, Elder Gao, you're careful." Pei Mingcui frowned, "Since the mutiny of Yang Xuangan of the Pillar Kingdom, and the three conquests of Goryeo by the Holy Lord, the people are overwhelmed, the soldiers are unbearable, and there are many deserters in the desolate and barren places, and they belong to one piece, are they also one of the deserters?" ”

Xiao Buyi is not here, otherwise most of them would be surprised, this is far from the Pei Mingcui he saw, is it just an illusion that she is so arrogant?

"If they are deserters or horse bandits, Miss Pei is going to arrest them?" Gao Shiqing asked.

"Not really." Pei Mingcui shook her head, "But his identity is indeed a little troublesome, according to my opinion and today's test, Xiao Buyi is a personal masterpiece, and the only drawback is that he is too soft-hearted and emotional." It's just that if he wasn't soft-hearted and emotional, I wouldn't appreciate him as a person. He is not a thing of the pool, as long as we nurture it, he will definitely be able to make a difference. ”

"Then what is the young lady hesitating about?" Gao Shiqing was puzzled.

"Since he is a member of the Pei family's caravan, his every move in the future is obviously related to Pei Valve," Pei Mingcui frowned and said: "You see that he is insignificant now, if one day he is flying Huang Tengda, the muddy water in the court is very deep, Yu Shiji, that old guy may make a fuss about his identity, and then attack Pei Valve, since this is the case, we must not guard against it." ”

Gao Shiqing sighed, "Miss Pei is sure that Xiao Buyi will definitely be a blockbuster in the future, so she thought about something further away." ”

Pei Mingcui smiled and said, "Have I ever missed someone?" ”

"That's very little." Gao Shiqing looked scheming, but he was full of admiration for Pei Mingcui, "Miss Pei said a few years ago that Li Mi is talented, but he has backbones, and sooner or later he will become a big trouble for the court!" Later, he really followed Yang Xuangan to rebel, and almost moved the eastern capital, although his whereabouts are unknown now, most of them are waiting for an opportunity to move. But after all, Li Mi was born in a scholar family, both civil and military, and the hereditary Pushan Gong, Xiao Buyi is a cloth cloth, how can he compare? ”

"Goshawks can sometimes fly as tall as chickens, but chickens can never fly as high as goshawks." Pei Mingcui said lightly: "Some people are already destined to be ordinary people by nature, Li Mi is, Xiao Buyi is the same, if I don't believe in my vision, why bother to test him so hard?" He said that he was on the bed of Mengdie today, and he was still a greedy woman after all, so I would go to bed early today, and I didn't need to study this person again. ”

Gao Shiqing shook his head, "I also believe in Miss's vision, since this is the case, I will act according to Miss's orders." ”

Pei Mingcui nodded, took a sip of tea and asked: "How is Xu Hongke's investigation, although he loves to dream of butterflies, he went down to Jiangnan from Yanzhou, and chased from Jiangnan to Mayi, but he didn't withdraw money tonight, and when he saw his beloved fall into his hands, he could bear to leave with his sleeves brushed away, and he was also a scheming and calm person, from this point of view, he didn't let Xiao Buyi." ”

She mentioned this, obviously Mr. Xu tonight is Xu Hongke.

"I only heard that Xu Hongke has been a Taoist priest in Huashan for a few years, and they all say that he has three tombs and five classics, hundreds of schools, astronomy and geography, and Taoluo is proficient in the art of war, and later he climbed into relatives with Xu Yuanlang in Yanzhou, and got Xu Yuanlang's funding and started a business, but he also has a good look."

"Doing business is fake, but the general trend of the world is true." Pei Mingcui suddenly sighed.

Although Pei Mingcui is a woman, she seems to think more than men, she is suddenly bold and delicate, but it is rare to see it when she sighed just now, at least what she shows others is her indifference, her arrogance, her carelessness, but she hides her shrewdness and is unknown.

But she suddenly sighed, and her face was full of sorrow.

"Miss, why are you sighing?" Gao Shiqing said worriedly: "You are not in good health, in fact, it is not suitable to think too much." ”

Pei Mingcui waved her hand, "We eat the king's fortune and share the worries with the king, this is the right thing to do." However, the saint is more capricious than the other, and Yu Shiji is always on the side of the king, and he is a minister. Xu Hongke is of course extraordinary, Xu Yuanlang is even more ambitious, and now he has another Xu Shiji. The Xu family Gaomen has a lot of prestige in Shandong, and it can't be guarded against. Wagang Zhai Rang is a small number of people, and he only cares about small profits, which cannot become the climate. But Xu Shiji has only been gone for more than half a year, and he turned to Caoyun, and for a time Wagang became famous and won a big victory. ”

Gao Shiqing was silent for a while, "Miss, what you said is right, but we can't control it so much." ”

Pei Mingcui smiled bitterly, "I don't know that these men were originally used by the Great Sui, and they should be able to prosper, but the saint's willful behavior has made people centrifuge." Since I have discovered Xiao Buyi, I should lead him to the right path, and don't follow Xu Shiji and his ilk. The Pei family is based on the saint, and the saint's worries are actually the worries of the Pei family. The three conquests of Goryeo by the Holy Lord have not succeeded, and the prestige has long been shaken, although the rebellion of Yang Xuangan of the Pillar State has only been more than a month, but many wealthy clans have participated, which has shown that these people are ready to move, just waiting for the second opportunity. If the saint doesn't work hard and wake up from the decadence, I'm afraid that within three years, the chaos in the world will no longer be able to be cleaned up. ”

"Miss, although you are loyal to the king, but you must not let the saint hear, you are not by his side, Yu Shiji always takes you as a thorn in the eye, if these words reach the ears of the saint, the worst will be beheaded and exiled, no matter how light it is, it will make him suspicious of you." Coats was honestly afraid.

Pei Mingcui was gloomy for a while before saying, "I have my own measure." ”

The two of them were silent, and the room was silent.

"The Wang family and the Lin family are all Jiangnan Chinese clans," Pei Mingcui finally said: "This time, because of Tianmao's defeat, I switched to the Pei family, but now they are both old and cunning, maybe when they will defect, you have to be more vigilant." ”

Gao Shiqing nodded slowly, "Miss, you have been retiring and showing people with arrogance, so that they will not be cheating." This horse race was a good calculation and would have lost, but Tianmao was out of the jam, but the Pei family was stoic. We use the power of the Turks to attack Tianmao's reputation, the Pei family can stay out of the matter, unscathed, Tianmao's exit from the jam is blocked, the prestige will definitely plummet, and those businessmen will definitely switch to the Pei family, in this way, we can hit the Guanlong family, and we can develop Pei Valve, and we can also gain the confidence of the saints, originally killing multiple birds with one stone, but why did you change your mind this time? ”

"I did have this idea before," Pei Mingcui laughed, "I didn't know that Xiao Buyi's equestrian skills were so superb that he could win this one." Liang Zixuan's vertical son is insignificant, how can his small actions be hidden from me, I deliberately lost two games in a row, to use it as a pride of the soldiers, and the third game was a gamble, which seemed to be a desperate gamble, but it was a step by step. He thought I was a gambler who lost red-eyed, and made a bet with the interests of the caravan for half a year, so he tried his best to win me, but he didn't know that I had long been ready to let them out of the jam, but he wanted to keep the Pei family out of the matter......"

"But people are not as good as heaven," Pei Mingcui said again: "Xiao Buyi thought that I was willful, and I was in love, so he did his best to help me win this game, he rested and tamed the horse in the stable for two days and two nights in a row, and I was really moved when I thought about it." ”

Gao Shiqing was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Miss, is it because he worked hard in the stable for two days that he helped him develop?" ”

"Exactly." Pei Mingcui nodded slowly, "He treated me with the affection of a friend, how could I be indifferent." He gave all the gold and silver beans I gave to Mengdie, which shows that he did not race horses for money. This kind of mind, not lost by money, not moved by women, is the true character of a bright man, since I Pei Mingcui has met it, how can I not help him and help him achieve his wish? ”;
