After Xu Shiji saw the news, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What does this woman want to do, does she want to marry another one?" ”

Xiao Buyi sneered: "If I give her face, she doesn't want it, so don't blame me for cutting her face." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Bat said: "Ke Dun has always relied on the support of the Tiele clan in the grassland, and Jieli has received rich rewards from Li Tang, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu and others, but we don't flatter and give gifts to Ke Dun...... The Tiele tribes are already dissatisfied. ”

Xiao Buyi said: "Why hasn't Kedun been rewarded handsomely with us? We have been doing business in secret, and the return that this old woman has received from us is no less than what Li Yuanjin gave to Jieli! What's more, if this king rules the world, can he still treat her badly? Back then, this king sold horses and got a lot of help from her, and he wanted to repay him later, but she did this, which really made this king dissatisfied and cold. ”

Xu Shiji came to his senses, "Actually, I think what the bat said also makes sense." ”

Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "What's the reason? ”

"As for the Turks, apart from the fact that horse trafficking was still dominant, we no longer have an advantage in other aspects." Xu Shiji said: "If you know the terrain, we will suffer too much, Hedong is Li Yuan's territory, and it is very convenient for him to communicate with the Turks." We are separated from the Turks by the majestic Taihang Mountain, which is far farther away than Guanzhong in the minds of the Turks. Up to now, Li Shimin's larger army has blockaded Youzhou, completely severing our ties with the Turks, coupled with Jieli's belligerence, I am afraid that even Tiele and Qigu have begun to rely on Jieli, but it is difficult for Dun to stand alone, and it is understandable to cut off diplomatic relations with us, and show favor to Jieli. ”

"The old woman and Tieler's surnames are blind. After this king rules the world, there is no reason to spare them! Xiao Buyi slammed his fist on the table, angry and angry.

Xu Shiji smiled bitterly: "King Xiliang, most people in the world are short-sighted, and they only see the immediate benefits, and the Turks are even more so. If we are all far-sighted, I am afraid that this Turkic soldier will eventually become our henchmen. ”

Xiao Buyi didn't know that what Xu Shiji said was reasonable, but after hearing the news at first glance, he was angry in his heart, and finally suppressed himself at this moment. You must know that Yu Shinan is his friend, and he was also the one who took care of him back then, and the Meng Chen clan is related to him now, just looking at Meng Chenxue's face, you can't sit idly by. With these two relationships alone, he couldn't help but be concerned, but Xu Shiji was right, Li Tang completely cut off the connection between the Turks and the Eastern Capital, and he couldn't handle it himself, which made him feel helpless for a while.

His mind was racing, secretly thinking about the power that the grassland could use, and even Wen Yuzhou's forces thought of it, but after all, even Kedun couldn't compete with it, let alone fight against Jieli. If you want to mobilize a large army to conquer the Turks, but the timing is not right, and there is Li Shimin's obstacle, and if you are busy, you will make a mistake.

Thinking about it, but there is no clever plan, although he is a horse god, but he is already the king of Xiliang, leading the troops to go out are trembling, only to prevent mistakes, and now he can't go to the Turks in person, since Yu Shinan can't convince Kedun, it is really difficult to find someone to convince Kedun. Xiao Buyi was full of distress, looked up at Xu Shiji, and frowned when he saw him, knowing that he had no good way, the two were in distress, and a personal guard rushed to say: "Qiqi Xiliang King, Pei Mingcui asks to see." ”

Xiao Buyi was slightly stunned, and said happily: "Please!" After he returned to the Eastern Capital, he already knew that Pei Mingcui was in the Eastern Capital, but he was too busy to go to see him.

Walking to the door, Pei Mingcui was already not far away, followed by a shadow, holding an umbrella to help Pei Mingcui block the wind and snow. Xiao Buyi took a few steps and said with concern: "Miss Pei, you are sick, I should go to you." Xiao Buyi didn't have any shelves this time, and he was sincere. Pei Mingcui heard that there was also warmth in the harsh winter, "Brother Xiao is busy with affairs, and he has never dared to disturb." ”

The whole world, that is, Pei Mingcui called Xiao Buyi so, Xiao Buyi didn't think it was wrong, but felt very kind. Because he is in his position, he can't help but show the majesty of the prince, even if Ah Rust, Bat, Xu Shiji, Pei Xingyan and others all began to call him King Xiliang one by one, which made him miss his brotherly friends back then, Pei Mingcui still called him Brother Xiao, and he only had warmth in his heart.

His eyes swept over the shadow, but he turned his head to look at the snow in the courtyard.

The snow is dancing, the sky and the earth are silvery, the scenery is good, and the heart is like a tide.

Xiao Buyi looked away and welcomed Pei Mingcui to the hall. Ask Pei Mingcui to sit down, although Xiao Buyi was worried about the grassland, she still asked, "I don't know what happened to Miss Pei?" Seeing Pei Mingcui smiling at the corner of her mouth, Xiao Buyi smiled freely, "It seems that I can't stand it, even if Miss Pei is fine, I welcome her to come to me." ”

Xu Shiji took advantage of Xiao Buyi's arrival to greet him, went to the side to look at the stove in the corner for heating, made it more prosperous, and then sat aside.

He didn't say a word, but a small gesture had already expressed the concern in his heart. Xiao Buyi laughed, "People who can get General Xu to ask for warmth, this king doesn't have this treatment." ”

Xu Shiji's face was as if Guan Gong was like that, and he couldn't wait to lift the big knife and cut Xiao Buyi.

Pei Mingcui smiled indifferently, "Thank you, General Xu." ”

"No thanks...... Need not...... Polite. Xu Shiji was a little wooden.

Xiao Buyi said: "It's really strange between men and women, the more women like a man, but they pretend to be careless, and some men are as wooden as wood even if they are talk-free and meet the woman they like." ”

When the shadow heard this, he lowered his head and only looked at Pei Mingcui with concern. Xu Shiji coughed more than Pei Mingcui, and it looked like his throat was about to burst, he just wanted to pick up the teacup on the table and stuff it into Xiao Buyi's mouth, Pei Mingcui smiled slightly, "It turns out that I don't care about Brother Xiao, but I like Brother Xiao?" ”

Xiao Buyi was busy doing the old man, and was smugly taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, when he heard this, a sip of tea squirted out, Xu Shiji laughed.

Xiao Buyi glared at Xu Shiji and asked, "I don't know what General Xu is laughing at?" ”

Xu Shiji couldn't help laughing, and said with a straight face: "The last general is choking on tea." He didn't even pick up the tea, his lying skills were really not very clever, Xiao Buyi saw this, smiled, and sighed in an instant: "I really haven't laughed for a long time, Miss Pei is my friend, and so is Shiji!" The ......" he wanted to say something, but he looked at the shadow of his eyes, but finally he didn't say anything.

Pei Mingcui said: "You really haven't laughed for too long, even if you laugh, many times it is like Maitreya Buddha in the Buddhist temple, and the people who bow down see it, although it is respectful, but it is a little rusty." ”

Xiao Buyi thought for a long time, "There are gains and losses." When you congratulated me, I didn't understand until now that you were worried about me. In fact, I've been thinking that if it's a prosperous time, it's good to herd horses and sheep. At least you don't have to live in calculations, you can be happy. I want to worry about the world, but if I am not in my place, it is really difficult to know what it feels like. ”

Pei Mingcui listened to his emotion and said indifferently: "With Brother Xiao's ability, with the current opportunity, it is very likely to create a prosperous era." It's a pity...... If you go to herd sheep, I'm afraid that you will make hundreds of officials kneel and ask them back. King of Xiliang...... Or the emperor, he is not freewheeling, let alone herding sheep. For those with great ambitions, responsibility is both a constraint and a driving force. ”

Xiao Buyi looked at the red wall of Qiongxue, as if he felt that there were women's red sleeves dancing in the snow, and said after a long time: "The world is out of my generation, and the years are urging when I enter the battlefield!" The emperor is talking and laughing, and he is drunk in life! ”

He felt what Pei Mingcui said, and casually read out the four sentences he remembered at that time, which seemed like poetry and sighs, but he could be emotional. The wind and frost are invading, thinking that the heroic horse thief back then has become the king of Xiliang who looks down on the world, and things are right and wrong, as straight as a drunk.

Pei Mingcui muttered and read along, and said softly: "This is probably what the king of Xiliang said in the world's wandering teacher?" ”

Xiao Buyi smiled, "That's right!" ”

Both of them knew the allusions in the teaching room, and when they talked about it, they smiled.

Xu Shiji glanced at Pei Mingcui, although he still remembered the matter of the grassland, it can be seen that the two of them were talking and laughing very happily, but they couldn't bear to burn the piano and cook the cranes, and spoil the scenery. He rarely saw Xiao Buyi talk and laugh so freely, and it was rare to see Pei Mingcui so happy, if it was possible, he would like to listen to the two talk all the time.

Pei Mingcui didn't understand Xu Shiji's intentions and asked, "Is there something happening in the grassland?" ”

Xiao Buyi restrained his smile, "How did Miss Pei know?" ”

Pei Mingcui cut to the chase and said bluntly, "When I was looking for Li Xuanba, I planted people in the grassland. Later, Li Xuanba was not found, but the manpower was not withdrawn. ”

"I see." Xiao Buyi suddenly told Pei Mingcui about the grassland in detail.

When Pei Mingcui listened to people's words, she was extremely serious, which was more similar to Xiao Buyi. Both are good listeners and analytical people.

After listening to Xiao Buyi's finished talking about the situation, Pei Mingcui groaned and picked up the teacup, drank tea and sorted out her thoughts.

Her every move was extremely slow, and Xiao and Xu knew that she was pondering, and they couldn't help but look forward to it. Both of them know that Pei Mingcui is a strange woman in the world, with a unique vision, maybe there will be some ideas to offer.

"Yu Shinan is actually a person who can speak well." Pei Mingcui said: "This person has been in the secretary province for many years, well-read, and knows about the grassland, and it is actually a good choice for Brother Xiao to send him to the grassland." However, presumably Brother Xiao has the intention of destroying the Turks and becoming the emperor, because he has not been too hot for Kedun. After all, I think Kedun feels that you are difficult to rely on, so I am a talent and Jieli join forces. Brother Xiao has a long-term ambition, and there is no need to make any oath with them, but he is constrained, but if he suddenly breaks with you, it may not be beneficial in the short term, but in the long run, isn't it an excuse for Brother Xiao to send troops later? ”

Xu Shiji praised: "What Miss Pei said is good. ”

Pei Mingcui asked: "Of course, at the moment, the main thing is to save people and delay time, of course Brother Xiao can't go to the grassland, I don't know if anyone can choose to go to the grassland?" ”

Xiao Buyi said in his heart that Pei Mingcui is really not bad, in one sentence. You must know that he and Ke Dunxu are fighting for time. Xiao Buyi clearly knew that Ke Dun had always been loyal to the Sui family and would definitely not accept his claim as emperor. But if he rules the world, it is imperative to be called emperor. Ke Dun has understood this, he turned his face early, he doesn't need to talk about it now, saving Yu Shinan and protecting the Mengchen clan is the first priority. The Turks are going to fight, and he should fight with all his might!

"There are no candidates to go to the Turks for the time being, and it will not be easy to save them." Xiao Buyi stared at Pei Mingcui, not knowing what she meant by asking.

"If Brother Xiao is not abrupt, I would like to go to the grassland to rescue them." Pei Mingcui said.

Xu Shiji and Shadow asked in unison, "This can't be done!" ”

Pei Mingcui ignored it, just waiting for Xiao Buyi's decision.

Xiao Buyi muttered: "Now there are too few available manpower in the grassland, it is difficult for me to control it, plus Hedong and Youzhou are controlled by Li Tang, and there are many roads to the grassland. ”

"But there's a way." Pei Mingcui smiled and said: "Yu Shinan is also my friend, whether it is for you or for Shinan, I should take a trip." ”

Xiao Buyi's heart was full of enthusiasm, and he praised: "Miss Pei's women don't let me have eyebrows, I Xiao Buyi has to meet Miss Pei, and I have no regrets in this life!" ”

Pei Mingcui smiled with tears, it was obvious that Xiao Buyi was answering Luoshui's question at the beginning, a kind of friendship filled her heart, Pei Mingcui said: "I Pei Mingcui has a lot of regrets in my life, but I have never complained about meeting Brother Xiao." ”

Xiao Buyi said: "But the road is treacherous, I will do my best to provide convenience, but I am afraid that there will not be much help." ”

Pei Mingcui said: "I know, but it's okay." I came to see the king of Xiliang, but I wanted to borrow someone to use it. ”

"Who is it?" Xiao Buyi was full of surprise.

If Xu Shiji didn't have a big responsibility, he almost wanted to recommend himself, Pei Mingcui smiled and said: "I want to use the Olympic shooting to set it up." ”

Xiao Buyi frowned, "What are you borrowing him for?" ”

"You have a life-saving grace for Chuluo's father and son, if he goes back to persuade him, I think Yu Shinan should have no worries about his life." Pei Mingcui said.

Ao Shesheh is the son of Chu Luo Khan, when Xiao Buyi saved the surname of Luo Khan, Chu Luo knew that the situation was not good, so he asked Xiao Buyi to take Ao Sheer with him. After Kedun married Chuluo, he maintained peace with Dongdu, and Chuluo can be said to have played a great role. Since following Xiao Buyi to the Central Plains, Ao Shooting has traveled all over the country to learn the culture of the Central Plains. Xiao Buyi has time, and will talk to him about a few words, Ao Sheshe has always admired the Central Plains culture, nostalgia and no return, Chu Luo also hopes that his son is safe and sound, but he did not recruit him to turn back.

Xiao Buyi thought about it for a long time, "I still have to ask him what he means." ”

Pei Mingcui said: "Saving people is like fighting a fire, and you can't delay for a moment." Since he has learned the culture of the Central Plains, he should also understand the truth of knowing the grace of the retribution. ”

Xiao Buyi nodded, summoned the Ao Shooting Set to meet, when the Ao Shooting Set came, he was covered in snow and bathed in the wind, looking extremely strong, although he was still young, but mixed with the frost and snow of the grassland, the wind and rain of the Central Plains, and had a peculiar charm.

Hearing Xiao Buyi explain the matter, Ao Jie set up and said: "King Xiliang, you saved the lives of my father and son, and regardless of the grievances with the grassland, you took me by your side for many years, and now is the time for me to repay you." I don't think my father objected to Kedun, perhaps because he had misheard slander, or because he was too weak and sick to manage much. If I go back, I should do my best to persuade my father to reconcile with the king of Xiliang, and if it is not good, I will let him let Yu Shangshu go. ”

Xiao Buyi looked at him for a long time, got up and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a harmonious voice: "This king knows that your father and son are not bad, the Central Plains has always valued peace, friends are here, we have good wine to entertain, if someone comes to invade the Central Plains, this king should stand up and fight back without hesitation." ”

Ao Shot set his hands on his chest, "King Xiliang, I will persuade my father, Kedun and Dongdu to reconcile, and never be an enemy for generations." ”

Xiao Buyi sighed in his heart, knowing that never being an enemy was just a dream. This time, it was a last resort to let Ao Shooter go back, "Miss Pei, when will you leave?" ”

"Saving people is like fighting fire, now is good." Pei Mingcui said without hesitation.

Xiao Buyi sighed: "Shinan and I have you as a confidant, and we are fortunate to have three lives." Good...... I'll prepare it for you. Are you alone? ”

"I'll go with Miss." The shadow said suddenly, and his voice was crisp.

Xiao Buyi glanced at her again and said softly, "That's for you." ”

Xu Shiji said: "I ordered the ants to explore the way along the way. ”

Pei Mingcui wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she said, "Thank you, General Xu." She said goodbye and got up to leave, Xu Shiji made a mistake and sent Pei Mingcui all the way out. Xiao Buyi looked at the back of the shadow, thoughtful. He didn't send Pei Mingcui, not because he was proud of his identity, but just wanted to give Xu Shiji and Pei Mingcui some space. Of course, he could see that Xu Shiji liked Pei Mingcui, but he didn't know what Pei Mingcui thought.

Xu Shiji was extremely efficient, so he asked Ao Sheshe and Pei Mingcui to go their separate ways and go to the grassland to meet. When he walked side by side with Pei Mingcui to the Xining Gate of Dongdu, he was speechless all the way, and when he parted, he only said one sentence, "Miss Pei cherishes the bitter cold outside." ”

Pei Mingcui looked at Xu Shiji and said softly: "Thank you, the Eastern Capital is busy with official business, and you should also pay attention to your body." She boarded the carriage, the whip sounded, and urged the horse to go ununderstandingly, Xu Shiji kept staring at the carriage until the carriage disappeared, then shook the snow on her body and slowly turned around.

On the way, I just thought that Xu Shiji couldn't follow and take care of Pei Mingcui, and only asked God to bless Miss Pei and her party on the grassland, and be safe!

**Pei Mingcui was in the carriage, but he didn't look back, but the shadow turned back frequently, and he couldn't bear it, "Miss Pei, General Xu really has a deep affection for you, I heard that ...... He has not yet married. ”

Pei Mingcui coughed lightly a few times and replied, "Let's go." ”

The carriage traveled north, across the frozen Yellow River, to the warring area of Hanoi Changping. Here Pei Xingyan is in a stalemate with Li Shentong's army. The carriage bypassed the army and picked up the trails, which were rugged and rough day and night. Pei Mingcui still has an assistant, plus Xiao Buyi sent someone to escort him along the way, and he went north without danger all the way.

Relatively speaking, Ma Yi was much calmer, this was already the territory of Li Tang, but the Turkic soldiers were also stationed. It's just that it's a harsh winter, the wind and snow are drifting, and the Turkic soldiers don't come out to make trouble.

Pei Mingcui rested for a while, and then set off for the grassland again. On the lonely road, there is only a lonely carriage, and everything in the world, in the eyes of heaven and earth, is just a dog. Thinking of this, Pei Mingcui looked through the car window and saw a rut suddenly appear in the distance.

Pei Mingcui was full of surprise and asked, "At this time, there are still people who are in a hurry like us?" ”

The shadow was wary, "Who could it be?" ”

Pei Mingcui looked forward and laughed at herself: "Maybe it's a lonely person like me." ”

The north wind is bleak, the snowflakes are fluttering, although Pei Mingcui is curious about who is ahead, she is not in a hurry. The rut ahead turned out to be heading north.

Crossing the horse and passing through the Great Wall, it is the territory of the Turks, and the rut is also rushing to the Turks!

Pei Mingcui followed for a long time, frowned, and finally said, "Old Hu, hurry up." Lao Hu is the driver who drives the car, and he has followed Pei Mingcui for many years, and when he heard the young lady's instructions, he urged the horse to speed up.

The carriage was brisk, and the horses driving were horses that were one in a thousand, and they suddenly increased their speed, stirring up light snow all the way. After chasing for nearly half an hour, the carriage in front of him was already in sight. The coachman didn't obey Pei Mingcui's orders, so he chased straight over, the road was narrow, and the carriage saw a car coming from behind, so he stopped on the side of the road and let Pei Mingcui's carriage go first.

"That's a polite person." Pei Mingcui said.

The shadow said cautiously, "They won't be for us, will they?" "The shadow kung fu is not bad, the coachman is even more a master, in addition to these two people, this carriage can be said to be quite well defended, if it is approached with bad intentions, it will definitely not be close to the zhangnei, Pei Mingcui has to sit in the carriage wherever he goes, one is unwell, and the most important thing is to play a protective role.

The two carriages gradually approached, Pei Mingcui had something to do, no longer thinking about anything, and said, "Don't stop, just go over." The two carriages were staggered, Pei Mingcui glanced at it, and saw that the carriage in front of her was dilapidated, but the horse that could be driven was also a good horse, and her heart moved slightly. Just as he was about to leave, a voice suddenly came from the carriage, with a deep, tiredness like falling flowers and snow, "But Miss Pei?" ”

As soon as the man's voice sounded, Pei Mingcui had already said, "Stop." ”

Lao Hu did not hesitate to restrain the horse, and Pei Mingcui pondered for a moment before saying, "Eldest grandson Shunde? Her voice was not loud, but the people in the carriage heard it clearly, and smiled tiredly, "It's down." In such weather, Miss Pei was in a hurry, and she didn't know why she came? ”

"I'm not feeling well, I have something to discuss, and I asked Mr. Changsun to come over and talk about it." Pei Mingcui said.

The eldest grandson Shunde said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." He got out of the carriage and came to Pei Mingcui's car. The curtain of the car was rolled open, and the eldest grandson Shunde stomped the snow on his feet and shook off the snowflakes on his body, and then boarded the car and sat opposite Pei Mingcui.

The interior of this carriage is excellently designed, and the eldest grandson Shunde is not too crowded when he sits down. Pei Mingcui said: "Since you and I are all the way, why don't you let the coachman go first, so as not to delay Mr. Changsun's trip?" ”

The eldest grandson Shunde nodded and said, "There is labor." "He seems careless in everything, but the grace of his demeanor comes out of his bones. The carriage started, and Pei Mingcui asked in the first sentence, "My carriage is not marked, how can Mr. Changsun be sure of me?" ”

The eldest grandson Shunde smiled and said: "There is no car, but the coachman does." When I offended the powerful in the capital, it was Hu Daxia who sent me to hide, so I knew it. I knew he was with Miss Pei, so I took the liberty of guessing once. ”

Pei Mingcui said: "It is said that Mr. Changsun has the ability to never forget, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name." ”

Eldest Sun Shunde shook his head with a smile, "I'm nothing." Hundreds of liters fly into the sky, the bright moon shines on Chang'an, if I don't know the famous son of the bright moon, Hu Lu Shixiong, I really waste these eyes. ”

The carriage shook slightly, and Pei Mingcui's face changed slightly: "What did you say?" ”
