When Xu Shiji rushed out of the palace, he put everything behind him for the time being, and there was only one thought in his heart, to find Pei Mingcui and say what he thought in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He has never been braver!

Mounted on his horse and galloped, facing the wind and snow, he went straight to Pei's mansion first. Although Pei Ju followed Dou Jiande, because of Pei Mingcui, Xiao Buyi has always retained Pei's mansion. After Pei Mingcui returned to the Eastern Capital, she still lived in Pei's Mansion. Xu Shiji has walked this road countless times, but he mustered up the courage to walk in it a few times, and every time he walked into Pei's mansion, he saw Pei Mingcui's faint gaze, and he couldn't say a word.

Xu Shiji first followed Wagang, and then followed Xiao Buyi, making chaos and bandits, entering Xiangyang, governing the eastern capital, and working hard for several years. In fact, he is looking forward to a vigorous battle, yearning for a vigorous love, this is the dream of all young people, he is still young, of course, no exception.

But he said that he spent time in ordinary affairs, although it rubbed away his edges and corners, but it did not rub away the grandeur in his heart, he remembered Xiao Buyi's promise, and used Li Jing to sharpen his sword for decades to motivate himself.

He will not forget his ambitions, and he does not want to forget his pride. But when I am occasionally free, I look back, but there is a blank on the road of feelings. Because he knew that after seeing Pei Mingcui for the first time, he would never forget it again in his life.

Love has accumulation, but love obviously also has love at first sight. Xu Shiji thinks about the lonely woman every night, thousands of miles away, and her heart aches.

He knows that he is stupid, he knows that this kind of love is difficult to have any results, but if he chooses, he will love, and he will love buried in his heart.

This kind of love is called lovesickness. He has passed the age of his first love, but when he saw Pei Mingcui again, he was still at a loss and had a dry mouth. Every time he is busy, if he can say a few words to Pei Mingcui, he will be full of energy. He suppressed the longing and love in his heart, because he knew that Pei Mingcui still couldn't let go of someone.

He can fight with anyone, how can he fight with a dead man?

All the lovesickness and love are buried in the bottom of his heart, he only thinks that he will not confide in this mood for the rest of his life, he only thinks that he can enjoy this peace for the rest of his life.

But he didn't expect that Pei Mingcui suddenly left and went to Taiyuan, what was she doing in Taiyuan, and what danger would there be? Is it to go...... Thinking of this, Xu Shiji couldn't help but feel heartache with an astringent smile.

The house is still cleared, but the people are nowhere to be seen, and there is a humane, Miss Pei has left an hour ago.

Xu Shiji was stunned, urging the horse to rush to the direction of Xining Gate in the north of the city, he had a hunch that this time of separation, it was likely that he would never see him again, and he hated his cowardice a little.

Maybe there will be a chance to say it, but he is really afraid that after saying it, he will never have a chance again.

The north wind was cold, the snow was stirring, Xu Shiji stood outside the city, and after asking the city soldiers, he learned that Miss Pei's car should have gone north an hour ago.

It's just an hour, like a moat between the two.

The wind was blowing strongly, Xu Shiji's courage was undiminished, and he suddenly drank his horse and walked forward, chasing north, if there was no fork in the road, he was confident that he would catch up with Pei Mingcui!

But life will not be without forks in the road, Xu Shiji chased out an hour, has chosen a number of roads, the front is still white and misty, the north wind is fluttering, Xu Shiji finally reined in the horse, condensed for a long time, such as stone carving woodcarving.

With a sigh, Xu Shiji finally understood that he had no chance of catching up with Pei Mingcui. The circle horse turned around, the five-flavor bottle in his heart was overturned, I don't know what it tasted like, and when he returned to the city gate again, a soldier stepped forward and said: "General Xu......"

Xu Shiji had regained his composure and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"This is a letter from Miss Pei to you." The soldier said timidly.

Xu Shiji didn't question the soldiers, why didn't he give it to himself, he just snatched the letter and held it in the palm of his hand, as if holding the last glimmer of hope.

In any case, before Pei Mingcui left, he still remembered him Xu Shiji, and when Xu Shiji thought of this, he sighed.

He is also a smart man, he knows a lot of things, and it is inevitable that he will be embarrassed to say it, and at this time, the letter plays a role as a buffer. He no longer wants anything, as long as Pei Mingcui has a moment in the future, he will think about him as a person, perhaps, this is enough.

Slowly opened the letter, Xu Shiji was stunned, and the expression on his face was complicated for a while. There were only eight words on the letter, but he couldn't digest it for a while!

If I don't die, I'll come to you!

There are only eight simple words in the letter, the pen is slender, but it is weak but strong, showing that the person who wrote the letter was in a calm mood at that moment. Xu Shiji's heart jumped up, what was Pei Mingcui thinking, she was in danger, but how could I help her?

Xu Shiji's heart was in turmoil at that moment, and he didn't know what to do. Women's hearts are really roundabout, making it difficult for men to guess. Xu Shiji looked at the eight words on the letter, eager to eat the eight words, and then figured out Pei Mingcui's intentions.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, Xu Shiji recovered his vigilance, clenched the letter paper, and looked up.

Xiao Buyi looked at him with a smile and said softly: "It's cold, go back." ”

Xu Shiji breathed a sigh of relief and said apologetically: "King Xiliang, the chaos is imminent right now, I ...... It's rude. ”

Knowing the news of Shibi Khan's death, he immediately summoned his ministers to meet Xiao Buyi, but when everyone was discussing countermeasures, he left for a few hours, which was not only rude, but also dereliction of duty.

Xiao Buyi smiled, "Actually...... I'm sorry. ”

Xu Shiji was surprised: "What does the King of Xiliang mean? ”

"I originally wanted to inform you as soon as possible, but after hearing the death of Shibi Khan, I forgot for a moment that Miss Pei had left." Xiao Buyi said sincerely: "The world achievements...... Maybe I said earlier, you'll be able to catch her. ”

Xu Shiji smiled, "If Miss Pei doesn't want to see me, I won't be able to catch up with the eagle." ”

"Looks like you're okay, at least just kidding." Xiao Buyi said with relief.

"Thank you King Xiliang for your magnanimity."

Xu Shiji originally wanted to give the letter to Xiao Buyi, and he knew that with Xiao Buyi's knowledge, he would definitely be able to have an insight into the eight words on the letter. But after only a moment's hesitation, he decided to give up this idea, this was a letter from Pei Mingcui to him, and he didn't want anyone to see it.

Xiao Buyi's gaze swept over the letter, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, "Don't worry, whether it is the four khans of the grassland, or the eight khans, it will have no effect on us for a while." However, Dou Jiande has signs of sending troops. ”

Xu Shiji was slightly stunned, "Send troops to us?" ”

Xiao Buyi nodded, "According to the news of the spies, Dou Jiande left Leshou and has arrived in Yanggu, he has brought at least 30,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed in Shouzhang, he will never travel to the mountains and rivers, presumably know that since Luo Shixin is the first to go to war, we will not give up this opportunity, so we must strike first." ”

Xu Shiji mentioned his spirit, "Then we have to think about how to deal with it, if they really join forces with Xu Yuanlang, our situation is not optimistic." ”

Xiao Buyi nodded, he had already turned around, Xu Shiji was moved in his heart, and secretly thought that Xiao Buyi came, of course, not for Pei Mingcui, but for his brother.

Gripping the letter tightly, he turned his head to look over, only to see the cold wind rising and the snow hazy, but Xu Shiji seemed to see a carriage moving slowly through the wind and snow......

**

Pei Mingcui sat in the carriage and looked into the distance through the window. Although the cold wind kept blowing through the window, causing her to cough violently, she didn't care at all.

The carriage of the carriage is very large, and it will not be crowded with seven or eight people inside, but there is only one person in black beside Pei Mingcui, just like Pei Mingcui's shadow.

Seeing Pei Mingcui's incessant coughing, the shadow finally said, "Miss, put down the curtains." ”

The shadow didn't expect the suggestion to be effective, but Pei Mingcui finally lowered the curtain and cut off the cold outside the window. She closed her eyes and muttered, "Shadow, you've been with me for years. ”

"yes." The shadow said: "Miss Pei, you saved us, even if we are allowed to die, we will never complain." "Shadows, of course, are not one, but many.

But all the shadows are of course with the master, loyal and loyal.

"I felt like a shadow at the beginning." Pei Mingcui muttered: "I am the shadow of the saint, wherever he goes, I will follow him, and then I felt that a person's strength was too small, and I found you as a helper." I have always thought that without the individual, the shadow would have no meaning of existence, and without the sacred, I would have no meaning of existence. ”

The shadow was a little frightened and said, "Miss......"

Pei Mingcui said again: "But I found out that I was wrong, although the Holy Lord is gone, I can still survive." Moving his gaze to the shadow, Pei Mingcui smiled and said, "So if I'm not there, you have to live well." ”

The shadow was panicked and immediately knelt down, "Miss, if we are at fault, please point it out." ”

Pei Mingcui stretched out her hand to support the shadow, "You're right, it's me who is wrong." I'm just thinking, no one is a shadow, you're not, and neither am I. ”

The shadow didn't understand what it meant, and stood there in a daze. Pei Mingcui suddenly said: "How is the investigation of Shibi Khan's death?" ”

Xiao Buyi's news is fast, but sometimes, it is not as good as Pei Mingcui's information network. While Xiao Buyi was still researching the cause of Shibi Khan's death, Pei Mingcui had already begun to investigate.

The specific cause of death is unknown, but he was obviously poisoned, the same as Xue Ju. Therefore, the deaths of both of them should be the hands of the same forces. The shadow replied: "Miss, if we get to Taiyuan, we will definitely get the second message from the grassland." ”

"It's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows." Pei Mingcui muttered: "Fortunately, Xiao Buyi has already taken precautions, and if he wants to repeat his old tricks on Xiao Buyi, I'm afraid it will be much more difficult, and then ...... The Bearded Guest will never tolerate a second assassination......"

She said vaguely, but the shadow seemed to understand, "Miss, Xiao Buyi's side, you shouldn't have to worry about it." Now Taiping Dao has been divided into three camps, checking and balancing each other, supporting Li Tang, supporting Xiao Buyi, and one is ......"

She wanted to speak and stopped, Pei Mingcui said lightly: "There is another force that is my father?" ”

The shadow said in panic: "Miss, I'm talking too much. ”

"It's nothing." Pei Mingcui muttered: "According to my analysis, my father is now poor in donkey skills, and he can no longer control the overall situation." Even if he can occupy Dou Jiande's territory like Li Mi, so what? Isn't it the same fate as Li Mi? I'm stubborn, he's even more stubborn than I am. Li Jiadao is really insidious, and he even used the method of abandoning the pawn to protect the handsome, and only now did I discover that the intentions were sinister. I never imagined that a person's scheming for the sake of power could reach such a terrible level. She said plainly, but the shadow shuddered.

"What about Xiao Dapeng, has there been any progress in investigating him now?" Pei Mingcui suddenly asked again.

"The latest development, Miss Pei, you heard from Xiao Buyi, that is, this person is in Baekje right now." The shadow said helplessly: "Miss Pei, we did investigate this person very carefully, but when the investigation reached the fifth year of the Great Cause, all the investigations came to an abrupt end. ”

"Abruptly stopped?" Pei Mingcui smiled and said, "So, he fell from the sky?" ”

The shadow shook his head and said, "Of course not, I can only say ...... He hid his identity well. Xiao Dapeng and Xue Buren joined Wang Rengong's subordinates when they were in the fifth year of the Great Cause, and Wang Rengong was certainly not a Ma Yi Taishou at that time. Of course...... At that time, Xiao Dapeng was just a small soldier, and he belonged to a partial general under Wang Rengong, and that partial general was called Yuan Tianlei. So even if Wang Rengong doesn't die, I'm afraid he won't necessarily take a small soldier under Yuan Tianlei to heart. Miss should still remember Wang Rengong's famous battle in Liaodong, right? ”

Pei Mingcui said: "Of course I remember that I wanted to attack Liaodong with millions of saints, but as a result, there were countless casualties and returned home. Wang Rengong defeated the Liaodong Army with thousands of cavalry. At that time, the armies were unfavorable, but Wang Rengong broke the enemy with one army, and rewarded Wang Rengong with the great joy of the saint. ”

"But doesn't Miss think it's strange?" Shadow asked.

"What's so strange?"

"It is said that Wang Rengong was brave and invincible back then, and he was unstoppable, but he was killed by Liu Wuzhou in the end, and it can be said that he is dead."

Pei Mingcui said: "When people are old, they are naturally timid, and those who can lead the troops do not necessarily have to be strong in martial arts." Wait, do you want to say...... It wasn't Wang Rengong who broke the Liaodong Army at the beginning, but Xiao Dapeng? ”

The shadow nodded, "I do have this suspicion. ”

"What about the evidence?" Pei Mingcui asked. Although she is down, her thinking is still very meticulous, and everything has been revealed after she peels off the cocoon behind the scenes.

She never wants to judge a person presumptuously, and when she determines something, it is basically the truth.

At the beginning, Wang Rengong's strategy was to lure the enemy with an army and break the enemy with ambushes, but at that time, Wang Rengong had only a few thousand, and there were only about a thousand people in ambush, Yuan Tianlei, Xiao Dapeng and others were in ambush. Pursuing Wang Rengong was the first warrior under the King of Goryeo, Gao Polu, who was brave and belligerent, killing countless Sui troops, Wang Rengong was not sure of victory, he lured the enemy with himself, but sent Yuan Tianlei to ambush. As a result, in the midst of the chaos, Yuan Tianlei was killed in battle, and Gao Poyu was killed by a spear of unknown origin! The spear was extremely sharp, and it was thrown from the dense forest, and there were thousands of troops present, but the scene was extremely chaotic, so that no one knew who threw the spear. Gao Po was killed, and the Liaodong army was terrified, just when Wang Rengong led his troops to kill, it was to kill the Liaodong army. ”

"A spear of unknown origin? Yuan Tianlei is dead, Wang Rengong has also been killed, how did you know about the situation back then? Pei Mingcui was surprised.

The shadow said: "Although Yuan Tianlei is dead, the brothers who followed Xiao Dapeng back then are still there. Now although the horse farm outside Xiao Buyi has been transferred to the Central Plains, there are still Jiao Zuo and Shi Dang in the cottage for the purpose of ventilation and reporting. Jiao is a good drinker and likes to brag, although he is tight-lipped about the matter of copycat communication, but he is unscrupulous about the past, so I used the tavern owner to lure him to tell him about the things of the year. However, he didn't know much about Xiao Dapeng, he only knew that when Xiao Dapeng first arrived in the army, Xiao Buyi was still young, Xiao Dapeng and Xue Buren joined the army, and only said that their relatives were killed by bandits and wanted to be soldiers to suppress bandits. Xiao Dapeng's martial arts performance at that time was ordinary, but he was brave in battle, and his surname was heroic, and he soon got acquainted with a group of brothers, and the people who followed him to the cottage were all brothers who were together at the beginning. ”

Pei Mingcui muttered: "The martial arts performance is ordinary? ”

"Yes. Xiao Dapeng covered it up very well, Jiao Zuo always thought so, and he didn't believe that Xiao Dapeng would be a master. They obeyed Xiao Dapeng because of his righteousness, not his martial arts, and if these people knew what Xiao Dapeng was doing now, most of them would still not believe it. The shadow said: "Jiao Zuo said that when the soldiers were ambushed, Xiao Dapeng hurt his stomach, so he secretly went to the depths of the dense forest to relieve himself, and did not appear until after Gao Poyu died. But after he appeared, he desperately saved the lives of several brothers, so no one complained, and even when he reported his merits, he counted Xiao Dapeng's share. After Wang Rengong broke the Liaodong Army, he saw that Yuan Tianlei was killed, and Xiao Dapeng's popularity was good, so he was promoted to be a partial general. Later, Xiao Dapeng did it for a while, and when he saw that the saint was still going to crusade against Goryeo, he took his brothers and his son Xiao Buyi as a deserter...... Afterward...... They just robbed caravans for a living, and what they did was lackluster, until Xiao Buyi met you. ”

Pei Mingcui closed her eyes, but her mind was like electricity, thinking about the past, and she was entangled for a while.

She always thought that her father was already unusually mysterious and weird, but Xiao Dapeng looked like a lot compared to her father.

Why did Xiao Dapeng hide his identity? Xiao Buyi should be completely ignorant of this father!

Pei Mingcui believed in her instincts, and also believed that Xiao Buyi definitely didn't know as much about Xiao Dapeng as she did. This seems like a joke to outsiders, but Pei Mingcui firmly believes this.

Xiao Dapeng...... Xiao Buyi...... Pei Mingcui silently read these two names, as if she had an understanding.

"Miss, Xiao Dapeng is such a master, I think I can hide it from my brother, but I can't hide it from the two of them."

"Which two?"

"Xue Buren and Xiao Buyi!" The shadow judged: "According to Jiao Zuo, Xue Buren and Xiao Dapeng have known each other since childhood, but now their whereabouts are unknown, and they can't find their whereabouts, Xiao Buyi is Xiao Dapeng's son...... We ......"

"I don't know if Xue Buren knows, but Xiao Buyi shouldn't know." Pei Mingcui said tiredly.

"Miss trusts Xiao Buyi very much?"

Pei Mingcui said indifferently: "If I can't even trust him, there is no credible person in this world." ”

"What about Xu Shiji?" Shadow asked tentatively.

Pei Mingcui's eyes widened, and the shadow hurriedly knelt down and said, "Miss forgive me." ”

Pei Mingcui looked at the shadow for a long time, and sighed lightly: "Shadow, I know your good intentions, but I ...... now." I really don't want to think about superfluous things. ”

The shadow was already in tears, "Miss...... Either way, I just ask you not to have a will to live or die. You're really dead, and we don't want to live anymore. ”

"Get up, I'm not going to die so easily." Pei Mingcui also had emotion in her eyes, "Are you ...... now?" Try his best to send someone to find Xue Buren to understand the truth of the year, if he finds it, he will say it if he is willing to say it, and he doesn't have to force it if he doesn't say it. But I believe that Xiao Buyi will not hide it from me, he really doesn't know the details of Xiao Dapeng. Xiao Dapeng is a top master, no matter how bad Xiao Buyi is, he should not be bad at martial arts, but when he first arrived in Mayi, his martial arts were poor. Xiao Dapeng obviously hid his son in one go, this person ...... It's really weird. ”

"But doesn't Miss think there's something else a little strange?" Shadow asked.

Pei Mingcui frowned and asked, "What's so strange?" ”

"Xiao Buyi's martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds, and now it ......"

Pei Mingcui waved her hand, "Xiao Buyi's martial arts and Xiao Dapeng should have nothing to do with each other." ”

"But it's about the bearded guest!" The shadow said straightforwardly: "The bearded guest is alone and never accepts apprentices, why do you want to teach Xiao Buyi martial arts?" Is it just because of a few sides? ”

Pei Mingcui smiled, "Shadow, I found that you are getting smarter and smarter." ”

The shadow smiled bitterly: "Of course Miss also thought of it!" It's not for nothing that he went to the grassland, and it's just an excuse to go to find a sweaty BMW! But what did he do on the border, and who could have the weight to let him go to the border? I think his target is most likely to be looking for ...... Xiao Dapeng! The bearded guest must have something to do with Xiao Dapeng, so he will teach Xiao Buyi martial arts! ”

Pei Mingcui was speechless for a long time, if someone speculated like this a few years ago, she would definitely reprimand it as nonsense, but now that all kinds of things are combined, she thinks it is very possible.

With Xiao Dapeng's skills, coupled with the fact that the bearded guest is also a person with superb martial arts, in the recklessness, most of these people have heard of it, and the two say that they don't know each other, which is really a bit strange.

Suddenly thinking of something, Pei Mingcui asked, "Shadow, who is Xiao Buyi's mother?" ”

The shadow was stunned, "No one knows, Xiao Dapeng told his brothers that his wife died early, leaving Xiao Buyi behind, and he obviously has great affection for his wife, so he has never married." ”

Pei Mingcui sighed, "Dapeng's wife will definitely not be a yellow bird, and it is not easy for Xiao Dapeng to make a woman who never marry a wife again." I really want to know, who is this woman? ”

"To find the details of his wife, it is obviously more difficult than revealing Xiao Dapeng's old background." The shadow could only sigh, "At least, Xiao Dapeng is still alive, Xiao Buyi's mother must be dead, otherwise with Xiao Buyi's current identity, which mother will not be by his side?" ”

Pei Mingcui nodded, "Xiao Buyi is also pitiful...... I have no mother since I was a child. When she said this, she thought of her life experience, felt slightly sad, pushed open the curtains, breathed in the cold air, and muttered: "Although it is difficult to reveal this mystery, it is also very interesting, at least ...... We're having fewer and fewer doubts now, and we're about to solve a very big mystery, aren't we? ”

Her smile suddenly became desolate, and a piece of snow fell on her face, turning into droplets of water that flowed down her cheeks like tears......
