Su Xian told Wang that Pei Ze had indeed not returned.

Instead, he was left on Xianling Island to recuperate.

As for the extent of the injury, he did not know.

General Li did not mention Pei Ze's injury, and he did not ask much.

However, Li Xiaoxiao mentioned him, saying that in the future, the dock side would be handed over to Pei Sanye to take care of, and asked him to get this matter done as soon as possible.

Since the county lord has said so, it can only mean that Pei Ze can come back.

Wang was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground.

Wiping his tears, he said: "My lord, my son went to war with you, and now that you are all back, he has not come back alone, you have to let us go and see!" ”

"Auntie, don't worry, Pei Sanye is fine, although the war is over now, there is no decree from the imperial court to lift the ban, you can't go to Xianling Island." Su Xian comforted, "The third master will be back in a few days, you don't have to worry." ”

"How can we not be worried?" Wang cried a handful of snot and tears, "When he left, he walked with you, and now you are all back, but he is not back, now you tell me not to worry, Master Su, we are also neighbors, I beg you, let me go to Xianling Island to have a look!" ”

"Auntie, the decree is like this, I can't help it!" Su Xian was very embarrassed, and personally sent her home, and was worried that the Wang family would go to the yamen to make trouble again, and went to Pei Chunshan to sit down: "Uncle Pei, the third master is really recuperating on Xianling Island, and there is no big problem, the county lord also instructed when he left, and the affairs on the dock will be under the jurisdiction of the third master in the future, it can be seen that he will come back soon, the county lord has been with Pei Sanye for the past three months, she knows the details of the third master, you know, I have been going back and forth to the coastal three states these days, and I have never been to Xianling Island, so I will not lie to you." ”

"If there is any news, you should let us know as soon as possible so that we can rest assured." Pei Chunshan sighed, "Anyway, the third child of my family was injured for the sake of the public, you have to give us an explanation." ”

"Uncle Pei, rest assured, the court will not treat Pei Sanye badly." Su Xian groaned, "Now that the war is over, the temporary yamen on the other side of the dock should also be withdrawn, if there is anything in the future, I will send someone to contact you, you must not go to Xianling Island on your own initiative, I have dealt with the aftermath of the last incident, and no one will pursue it, but now Pei Sanye is making a big move, and many people are staring at it, so you must not make waves again." ”

"Don't worry, adults, we will wait for news at home." Pei Chunshan will understand.

Only then did Su Xian get up and say goodbye.

As soon as he walked to the mouth of the small alley, he heard Hua Jiao shouting to him behind him: "Master Su stays." ”

"Sichuan pepper, I've said everything I need to say, I don't know much more about you." Su Xian looked at her and said expressionlessly, "Tomorrow we are going to Yucheng to pick up the driver, we are not in the town these days, the dock has changed to General Li's subordinates, they will not show mercy to your subordinates, Hua Jiao, Pei Sanye is really just injured, he didn't come back immediately, there must be his thoughts, why should you be in a hurry at this time." ”

She is much rounder and more beautiful than before, and she is no longer the thin little girl in her memory.

It can be seen that the Pei family treats her well, to be precise, Pei Ze treats her well.

"Thank you, sir, for telling me the truth." Hua Jiao reluctantly smiled, "I was offended a lot last time, and I hope your forgiveness." ”

Su Xian looked at her, didn't say anything, turned around and got into the sedan chair and left.

Huajiao returned to Mingxianglou with heavy steps.

I wondered why he didn't come home to recuperate.

After a while, Cheng Shen came to Mingxianglou out of breath to look for peppercorns, and said mysteriously: "I have inquired, the third master is injured and is recuperating on Xianling Island, and the shopkeeper Tang is here with Lao Lin Tou and Lao Li Tou, and I heard that they live in Lin Mansion." ”

"Really?" Sichuan pepper suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and got up to pour tea for Cheng Shen.

With them here, she is indeed very relieved.

"I can't lie to you." Cheng Shen looked around for a while, and said in a low voice, "I heard that Pei Sanye shot and injured Tang Yan, the general of Eastern Chu, and the Eastern Chu army was leaderless, so it was defeated and retreated. ”

"But he was still wounded." Hua Jiao said gloomily, "I'd rather not have this credit than get him hurt." ”

She knew that Pei Ze definitely didn't mean to make meritorious contributions.

He just didn't want to see the lives of the three coastal states.

"On the battlefield, swords and guns don't have long eyes, and these things are inevitable." Cheng Shen gulped, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and continued, "I also heard that because of this matter, General Li had a lot of complaints about Pei Sanye, and he thought he was too early to do it. ”

"Who are you listening to?" Hua Jiao was very surprised, "Isn't the naval battle a quick one, how can you think it's too early?" ”

She knew that Li Quande was Pei Ze's savior.

Pei Ze has been out for eight years, and he has also worked with Li Quande, and it stands to reason that when old friends reunite, they should have a tacit understanding.

"General Li's cook is my little father, he was stabbed on the reef island by a yellow powdery fish, so he didn't go to Yucheng with the army, and was arranged to recuperate in the town's inn, I went to inquire with him this time." Cheng Shen said proudly, "Don't worry, the news is absolutely reliable, General Li originally planned to wait for the emperor to arrive in Yucheng before making a move, but he didn't want Pei Sanye not to listen to him, but instead took advantage of the sudden wind direction at night to launch an attack, and also shot and wounded Tang Yan, the general of Eastern Chu, ending the war three days ahead of schedule." ”

"Then it's no wonder that the third brother is there!" Huajiao was very upset with Pei Ze, "The matter of the battlefield, whoever can seize the opportunity will win, how did it become a trick for the emperor to see when it came to General Li?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" Cheng Shen shook his head and said, "Naval battles are not as good as land battles, the warships only carry two days' rations, but in those days, the sea storms and waves have not stopped, and the ships transporting grain on Xianling Island can't pass at all, and the soldiers are starving and going into battle, and their morale is already low, let alone three days, even if it drags on for three more hours, many soldiers will die, although I have not been to the scene, but I know that Pei Sanye must have fought against the water." ”

"I heard that the county lord of Xiaoxiao also went to ......" Hua Jiao remembered this coldly, the last time she was in Yucheng, she also asked Pei Ze, but Pei Ze didn't seem to be willing to answer this, and he was fooled by the past, which shows that the county lord of Xiaoxiao is really not ordinary in his heart......

"Yes, I went." Cheng Shen didn't know about Pei Ze's past with the county lord of Xiaoxiao, shook his head and said, "The county lord of Xiaoxiao is really a heroine among women, I heard that General Li and Pei Sanye were injured, and I rushed over to deliver medicine that night regardless of the wind and waves, by the way, General Li was also injured, and the injury was in the leg, I heard that it was very serious, and I can't walk so far, so we haven't seen General Li today!" ”

"But I heard that General Li went to Yucheng to pick up the driver, maybe he went in a carriage, not on a horse." Hua Jiao remembered that when the morning ahead, there were indeed two carriages in front of the army, and she thought that General Li would ride a horse at that time, but now that she thinks about it, she must have been injured and changed to a carriage, so everyone didn't see him.

"That's how it should be." Cheng Shen nodded and said, "You don't have to think too much, wait for the news at home slowly, Pei Sanye is really fine." ”

"Thank you, Cheng Gongzi." Hua Jiao said gratefully, "Hearing you say this, I feel much more relieved." ”

I have to say that Cheng Shen is indeed a jack of all trades.

Su Xian is the governor, and he doesn't know as much as he does.

"Between you and me, you don't have to be so polite, it's just a gesture." Cheng Shen grinned, "We are all from the Chamber of Commerce, by the way, I also heard that the face of the county lord of Xiaoxiao was cured by the lord of Lin Island on the island, and the lord of the island of Lin is really a skilled doctor!" ”

Hua Jiao smiled and said nothing.

The woman is the one who pleases herself, and the lord of Xiaoxiao does this for Pei Ze!
