Chapter 168: A Small Fishing Village
Pei Tianyu didn't know that his unintentional move actually made Su Wanqing look at him with admiration.
If he knew, he would have thought it would be funny.
A little girl, with so many things in her head, she really can't judge with ordinary people's thinking.
Pei Xiu looked at the appearance of his father, Emperor Pei Tianyu, and there were some mixed feelings in his heart for a while, and he had an indescribable feeling. It was only today that he realized that his father seemed to be no different from an ordinary father, no matter how powerful and noble his status was, he would eventually grow old slowly.
And this kind of aging speed, no matter how strong a person is, is unavoidable.
His father, the emperor, was also a warrior in all directions when he was young. When he was very young, he always heard that his father had won another battle or gained another territory outside. The young father always loves to fight and win, and he is not willing to admit defeat in anything. In order to win everything he wanted, he never gave up his efforts and desperately seized every opportunity.
Of all the princes, his father, if not the smartest and most prominent, was certainly the hardest-working and hardest-working of them. From a very young age, he heard about the great achievements of his father, the emperor, as a prince.
Pei Tianyu has had his own independent thinking and goals since he was a child, and he will work hard to achieve what he wants to do. No matter how arduous the process is, once he has established his goals, he will not give up easily.
It is this spirit and hard work that makes the young Pei Tianyu stand out among many princes and successfully win the attention and appreciation of his father.
In the palace, there are so many princes, if you want to get ahead, you have to pay a hundred or even a thousand times more effort than ordinary people, if you want to win that position, this means that Pei Tianyu needs to play more development space and find a path that suits him, so that he can continue to walk smoothly on this road full of thorns.
Many people say that it takes a lot of flesh and blood to successfully sit in that seat. But for Pei Tianyu, the most important thing is a person's own ability after all. Otherwise, killing alone will never be able to convince the people. Therefore, when Tianli gradually moved from war to stability, Pei Tianyu first chose to form an alliance with neighboring countries, communicate with each other, and develop together. Only a win-win situation is an important way for a country to survive and continue to prosper in the long term.
As for Pei Xiu, when he was very young, it was actually more of his mother who was often by his side. He heard a lot about his father's great achievements outside, and at a young age, he was actually proud of his father.
When Pei Xiu was very young, he also made such a determination that he would become a powerful person like his father in the future. But my father is too busy, and basically has no time to be with my mother and herself.
Occasionally, when he had time, he just drank tea and chatted with his mother. Rarely, very little, to be able to be by your side. Pei Xiu's mother also explained to herself that her father was no more than those ordinary fathers, and the responsibilities he carried were many times heavier than those men.
He is not only a family, but also a country, the future of all the people, and the future of the country.
Although the little Pei Xiu was a little ignorant, he still felt a little unhappy about his father's frequent failure to show up and his mother's occasional lonely look.
It wasn't until he became an adult that he lost his mother, Pei Xiu tried his best to prove himself, and finally became the youngest god of war in Tianli Country. In fact, Pei Xiu did this, not only to prove it to the people who left the country, but also to prove it to his father.
Even though he never wanted to admit it, in fact, in Pei Xiu's heart, Pei Tianyu still occupied an important position. It's just that because of his mother, Pei Xiu has never been able to cross that hurdle.
As soon as the death of the mother concubine was incomprehensible, his heart became uneasy.
Pei Tianyu didn't know that Pei Xiu was thinking so much in his heart, and he was still relieved that his son cared about him at the moment. After all, he has reached a certain age, and he doesn't know what will happen in the future. Although Xiaoliu's legs and feet are not good, in Pei Tianyu's heart, he is still the best choice for the prince.
If it really comes to the last resort, even if those old guys don't agree, he will definitely make Xiaoliu the prince. Just because of this position, except for Xiao Liu, there is really no one who can do it.
Xiaoliu's temperament can be said to be the most similar to when he was young. He doesn't admit defeat in anything, but he never wants to show it. What a twisted child.
Pei Tianyu looked at Pei Xiu, he has grown up now, has his own life, and is about to get married, Pei Tianyu doesn't want to say too many of these things, otherwise, his son will only be disgusted.
After Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing left the palace, they immediately rushed in the direction indicated by Pei Tianyu without stopping.
Listening to Pei Tianyu, the bodies of the two women are still near the small fishing village, he sent a special person to guard it, and also sent a doctor over, in order not to cause unnecessary panic, I still hope that Pei Xiu and they will find out the identities of these two women as soon as possible.
When Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing felt their destination, they found that this small fishing village in the south of the city was really remote.
The tattered eaves, the broken boats thrown on the ground, and the completely decayed single-plank bridge are all telling the world that no one has passed through this place for a long time, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as deserted.
The wind blew gently, and it also blew up a burst of dust on the ground, and the loess was flying, making the road ahead a little unrealistic.
Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing came to the place Pei Tianyu said, and a man in black immediately greeted him, and after seeing Pei Xiu's iconic silver mask and the wheelchair under his feet, he immediately saluted him and said, "Sixth prince, you are here." ”
After seeing Su Wanqing, the man in black was stunned, and then quickly reacted, saluted Su Wanqing, and respectfully called: "The sixth princess." ”
Su Wanqing doesn't mind the title of the man in black, she and Xiu are about to get married, so for these titles, whether it is earlier or later, it doesn't matter. Anyway, she was originally the future sixth princess, but now, she just exercised her rights in advance.
Pei Xiu nodded at the man in black, glanced at the yellow sand outside, frowned slightly, and then said, "Has the environment here always been so bad?" ”
At this moment, Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing were in a somewhat dilapidated wooden house in a small fishing village, but this place should have been cleaned by the man in black, so it looked quite clean.
The man in black heard what Pei Xiu said, nodded, and responded: "Back to the Sixth Prince, the boundary on the south side of the city is close to the land on the Western Regions, and the land here is somewhat similar to the land in the Western Regions, so when the wind is strong, there is always yellow sand everywhere here, and it blows so much that people can't see clearly when they walk." In the past, some villagers lived here, but they all moved away one after another. The rivers around here have dried up, and there are no fish to catch, and there is no food to grow in this land, so over time, there is no one here. ”
The man in black said a lot in one breath, and after Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing heard it, they quickly understood the situation here.
In this way, this small fishing village has been completely abandoned a long time ago.
These two women must not have come here specifically, after all, there is nothing here. The only thing that can be explained is that someone knows that no one will pass by here, so even if someone is killed and thrown here, no one will be found in a short time.
Pei Xiu thought for a while, and then asked, "How did the bodies of those two women be discovered?" ”
The man in black was stunned, and quickly replied: "Sixth prince, that's right, although there are not many people here on weekdays, but a few kilometers away from the small fishing village, there is also a Muxi Village, where there are still a few residents who make a living from farming. The land in Muxi Village is not yellow earth, but people there usually have to pass through this small fishing village before they can go outside. The bodies of these two women were found by the villagers of Muxi Village, and they reported them to the local county magistrate, and then we got the news. ”
Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing glanced at each other, it seems that this side is not completely deserted, isn't Muxi Village, a few kilometers away, just a place to go?
They didn't believe that the people behind it wouldn't know that there was another small village nearby. If he knew that the people of this small village would pass by this small fishing village sooner or later, he would still have abandoned those two corpses here.
Then it can only mean one thing, that is, the person behind the scenes is not afraid of these two bodies being found at all. On the contrary, he deliberately created the opportunity for the two corpses to be discovered at a time that seemed to him to be appropriate, and when the time came, when these things got out, it would surely cause a stir in the kingdom of heaven.
So, what is the purpose of the person behind this? What kind of mentality is it to kill someone, but still have to send it to the door?
Su Wanqing couldn't think clearly for a while.
The recent events have appeared one after another, which has made Su Wanqing's thinking a little confused. She also told herself not to think so much and go with the flow, but the reality always caught her in trouble again.
Pei Xiu clenched Su Wanqing's hand, stretched out his other hand and gently rubbed her eyebrows, and after Su Wanqing's eyebrows were smoothed, Pei Xiu said, "Wanwan, let's go and see the two corpses." ”
Su Wanqing thought about it and nodded, it's too early to make a conclusion about everything, it's better to look at the situation first and then make a conclusion. Maybe there are any clues on those two corpses.
When the man in black heard that Pei Xiu wanted to see clues, his face suddenly became a little unnatural.
