Chapter 229: Lady Diplomacy

Pei hosted a banquet for ladies in the Qilin Pavilion. She was dressed in plain makeup, and the jewels of the past were gone.

Pei Shi took a look and saw that all the ladies attending the banquet were all dressed up. It seems that their husband is really tight-lipped, and the news of the death of the Jiedu envoy was not revealed to the pillow person.

Thinking of her husband, Pei's heart was like a knife, and tears rolled in her eyes. Wang Xie's wife is the oldest of all.

She said with pity, "Sister, you have lost a lot of time these days. My husband and I are vegetarians every day, praying for the general's blessings and hoping that the general will recover one day sooner. ”

"Thank you, sister, for your sincerity. The general lingered on the sickbed, and I couldn't untie my clothes and serve every day. I hope the sky will open my eyes..."

Pei couldn't speak, and the tears couldn't help rolling down anymore. Pei cried sadly, and everyone shed tears with him.

There was a low sobbing sound in the Qilin Pavilion. Pei Shi endured his sadness and said with a solemn expression, "Actually, I gathered all the sisters, and I want to explain some things to the sisters. ”

Everyone looked at her with a serious expression, wiped their tears and listened attentively.

Mrs. Wang Xie said: "Our sisters have known each other for many years, and it doesn't hurt if my sister has anything in her heart. ”

"First of all, because they are brothers, we sisters have known each other for many years. These years have been full of joys and sorrows. It has been operating in Zhaoyi Town for several years. We now have status, wealth, connections. Everyone nodded yes.

"However, the husband is in poor health. The imperial court was bound to appoint new governors. The sisters know that we have been operating here for many years, but to put it bluntly, in addition to taxing the imperial court, what is the difference between us and self-government. Pei Shi looked around at everyone, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

"Sisters, the Imperial Court appoints a new prefect. Will he do something to clean up our influence here? Governing this place will inevitably offend the interests of some people, will they jump out and liquidate us? Can we still maintain today's hard-won wealth and status? Or even life? ”

Pei's words, everyone was stunned. Yes, usually there is a husband in charge of the outside affairs, and they don't have to think about it so much.

Pei's words analyzed the pros and cons to them. When you think about it, this is indeed the case. "So what are we going to do?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and you can't make up your mind. Finally, his eyes focused on Pei's body.

"Sister, tell me about it."

"Sister, what do you think?" Everyone asked.

Pei Shi waited for this sentence. Her tears welled up again, and she stood up and solemnly bowed down to everyone.

"The reason why I am saying this to my sisters today is that the new official will not tolerate us. Who doesn't have three relatives and six relatives, and when a new official takes office, he must cultivate his own henchmen and cronies. I would like to remind you sisters to prepare early. Personally, I am unwilling and do not want to give up, Liu has worked on this land for two generations and devoted all his efforts. I'm going to defend this land to the end. Better die standing than live kneeling. Chengde Town, Weibo Town, what does the imperial court do with them? ”

Pei's words, the purpose of which is to divide the town of Pan. This is a great crime to be beheaded. The crowd was silent and did not know how to respond.

"Our sisters have known each other for many years, and we have always been both a loss and a glory. I didn't treat my sisters as outsiders and talk from the bottom of my heart. Pei slowed his tone.

She sneered in her heart, hum, now I want to be alone and dream. There is no such thing in the world as you blindly get without paying.

The Qilin Pavilion was quiet, and everyone was weighing the pros and cons. This is a felony of homicide, not a joke.

"If we are controlled by others, we will lose everything we have. If we win, we are the kings of the land. In fact, we've been pretty much the king here for decades. The court will not let us go after all. Why don't we give it a go! ”

Liu Shouyi's wife stood up and was the first to say, "I agree with my sister's opinion. No one is immune to this time. We can only choose if we are consistent with the outside world. ”

Others have taken a stand; "Yes, we want to be unanimous."

"I listened to my sister's arrangement, and I shared honor and disgrace."

"Not only do we have to keep what we have, but we also have to fight for more benefits."

"We are not for ourselves,. It is for the benefit of children and grandchildren. ”

Pei's expression was sad, "Okay, sisters, let us share weal and woe, and be together through thick and thin." We don't give up. ”

Zhou Yu was placed under house arrest at Liu Shouyi's mansion. Someone unlocked the door and came in.

"Where are you and how old are you? How many years in the army? Zhou Yu asked in a row.

"Sir, please have a meal."

The person came and said politely. Put down the lunch box and bow down. didn't give Zhou Yu a chance to talk at all.

Zhou Yu picked out the plate in the same way. There are braised fish, stewed mutton, and beef in sauce... The food is good, and Zhou Yu has a good appetite. Don't look around in the room, a few plates are eaten up.

Zhou Yu slapped his belly and walked back and forth in the house. Inactivity in captivity tends to lead to weight gain.

Liu Congji's situation is not optimistic, otherwise why wouldn't he be allowed to meet for two or three days? How can you still die when you see each other? Die? Zhou Yu's mind was excited, and a thought came to his mind, could it be that he said...

Zhou Yu sat on the bed with a butt, if Liu Congji really had three longs and two shorts, and he was not treated well by Zhaoyi Town. That's a serious problem. It's difficult to get out of it all by yourself.

Zhou Yu sighed and lay on his back on the bed. God, God, I still have an elderly mother to support. He muttered to himself.

Although Zhou Yu was ready to face the worst ending, he thought of the gray-haired old mother who worked hard to raise herself as an adult and cultivate a talent. Originally, it was a bittersweet and bitter trip, and things developed towards an uncontrollable situation.

Zhou Yu and Yi lay on the bed, keeping their eyes open until a glimmer of light came in through the window.

By this time, the retinue had been on the road for three days without sleep. He leaned over the horse, his arms swinging as the horse ran.

The horse slowed down and stopped on the side of the road. I don't know how long it took, but the attendant straightened up, stretched, and looked around.

He rubbed his eyes and said to the horse, "Am I asleep?" ”

The horse snorted and turned his head to answer his question. Both men and horses were in a state of extreme fatigue. He actually fell asleep while walking.

He jumped off his horse and patted the horse on the neck affectionately, "Man, you're hungry." ”

He took out the peas and wheat bran and fed the horses. The horse bends its knees, it is a good horse for a thousand miles, and it cannot stand the day and night rush.

"Man, we're sending 100,000 urgent military intelligence. Hold on to it. I don't know what the situation is on the other side. ”

After receiving the letterhead from the adult, what will the imperial court do with Zhaoyi Town? The attendant thought as he snuggled up to the horse and sat down, taking out the water bladder and dry food. He had just taken a bite of dry food when the sound of horses' hooves came from behind him.

The entourage's heart suddenly lifted, it couldn't be the person sent by Zhaoyi Town to intercept him.

But there was no place for one person to hide. The retinue sat still.
