The war in the north is still in full swing, although it is said that the Qin army has withdrawn on a large scale, but after all, there are still those loyal people who refuse to retreat half a step, and most of them have the idea of burning jade.

——To a certain extent, it can be said that it blocked Ran Yichen's momentum, and also gave the clans who couldn't escape a chance to breathe.

Compared with the northern land that is red with blood, Jizhou, which is located in the south, is not very calm at this time. Jizhou can be said to be a small regime in the south, and it has always been a prosperous place and a land of rice and grain.

However, the northern families poured in, and there was a lot of entanglement of interests with the local wealthy families in Jizhou, although they would not fight, but they were also in the critical stage.

Pei Mansion in Jizhou, Pei Guogong didn't know how many batches of people he had sent away, and he collapsed weakly on the recliner with a somewhat lonely expression.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty is such a master, so he left! In all fairness, he preferred that the first emperor could survive for a while, so that he would not have to sacrifice Zhou Chengyun to consolidate the authority of the Great Zhou, but it was a pity that Ran Yichen's assassination had advanced everything for no reason.

"Father, you haven't rested for days and nights."

Pei Jue has been with him all the way, and naturally knows that he has been having trouble sleeping and eating recently, not only because of this stormy country, but also because the eldest sister and eldest brother have no whereabouts.

"It's okay, but your eldest sister's whereabouts?"

"There's no news yet."

"Jue'er, do you say that promises are important or interests are important?"

Pei Guogong's eyes drooped slightly when he asked this, no one knew what he was thinking, but Pei Jue was slightly stunned, not understanding the deep meaning hidden in his words.

"Life has been in a hurry for decades, how can there be anything to do as you like!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand at Pei Jue and motioned for him to go down, but Pei Jue wanted to persuade him but finally stopped talking, his father had something in his heart, and he had something in mind that could make the whole dynasty unstable, but he didn't seem to have made up his mind yet.

Not far from Pei's house, Zhou Nianjin looked around at the crowd of people coming in and out, his eyes were vague and difficult to see, and the secret guard on the side asked a little puzzled: "Eldest prince, now that the northern and southern clans are fighting each other, it is when you need to show up to uphold justice, why do you continue to hide?" ”

"Only by hiding in the darkness can we see the ugliness of this world, and the human heart is always the most unpredictable thing."

After his father made him feel Jizhou, he went to the Pei Guo Mansion, but in comparison, he was more inclined to the Liao family, this unpredictable woman at least did not have anything to do with the little fool, and it was easier for him to be used.

Her father once said that she has her own mind, but how many people are born without their own little Jiujiu?

- He is not afraid that she has a heart, but if she can use it for herself, why should she care about that?

"But there's news of that stupid guy?"

Although he knew that his father must have chosen the safest route for him, he was never at ease when he heard the news that he had rushed to Jizhou.

"The subordinates have already left a mark, and I think that Commander Zhou should have known that you have arrived in Jizhou."

They are all secret guards, but the commander of Zhou is the person His Majesty believes in the most, and let him take the lead in following the little prince to Jizhou not only to protect the little prince, but also to welcome the eldest prince safely and eradicate some unnecessary factors.

"It is said that the local family of Jizhou can be called a three-legged stand?"

Before he came, he had already analyzed the situation in Jizhou, but he didn't have the facts to inquire about it, and he couldn't rest assured that he could use this period of time to find out some more news, which could be regarded as paving the way for the future.

"The Xiao family, the Shen family and the Yang family are the three most powerful families in Jizhou, and these three families are the most powerful in the Shen family. According to the report from the spies, Pei Guogong went to the Shen family some time ago to ask to see the head of the Shen family, but did not see him. ”

"Be a big-hearted person."

Zhou Nianzhen's fingers curled up slightly, although he didn't like the Pei family very much, but Pei Guogong represented the entire northern clan, and when he and the stupid man were not there, he also represented the imperial power of the Great Zhou who moved south.

The Shen family's move can be said to be a merciless slap in the face.

"The Shen family has been looking for the whereabouts of the little son."

Zhou Nianzhen pursed the corners of his lips and said to the guards beside him: "Inform Commander Zhou and let him come to the palace secretly." ”

"No."

One day in early August, the sky was drizzling, but there was a somewhat unexpected person in Pei Guogong's Mansion - Liao Family.

Against the slanting rain, the guards beside her stepped forward and knocked on the door of Pei's mansion, and at the moment when the door was opened, Liao looked at the figure on his left without a trace, and then strode in.

When Pei Guogong heard that Liao's family was visiting, a few fine lights burst out of his eyes, and then he sighed softly, his daughter herself understood after all, she was not willing to get involved in this pool of troubled water, otherwise how could she not show up with that child?

After everyone Liao entered the study, Pei Guogong sent everyone back very respectfully, and knelt directly in front of the slightly weak figure, and his voice was mixed with tearful emotions in his voice: "The criminal minister meets His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

Listening to his voice, Zhou Nianzhen's face, which had been hanging down, was raised, and his figure paused for a moment and hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up: "Why did the old man say this, aren't you tormenting juniors like this?" ”

"Your Majesty goes west, after all, the ministers are incompetent."

Zhou Nianzhen's eyes were also full of grief at this time, and there was a hint of wetness in his cold eyes, but he finally stopped: "My lord's words are wrong, my Great Zhou royal family should have this calamity." He paused for a moment and then said, "Now that there are constant external troubles and internal affairs are unstable, since my father entrusted the palace to the boss, he must be trustworthy to the boss." ”

"Do you have any opinion on the situation in Jizhou?"

Pei Guogong naturally couldn't push Tang when he heard him say this, and today's words can be said to be the new emperor's succession, and he has to be cautious.

Although he took the lead in looking for the Liao family, there was more or less a sense of precaution in this, but he did not go directly to the Cai family but came here to look for him, which is enough to show that he values the Pei family, and he naturally can't hide it.

A future emperor who has not yet succeeded to the throne, a minister who is about to usher in the emperor of the four dynasties, and a peerless woman with gossip in the rivers and lakes, the conversation of this day has not stopped until the time of the day.

In the evening, Liao and the others wanted to leave by starting out, but when she left, she whispered two words to Zhou Nianzhen, and she didn't know what it was. Until the person left, Zhou Nianzhen chatted with Pei Guogong as if he was nothing,—— this night, the old and the young also talked about a lot of year-old feelings.

Pei Guogong watched the people rest and then returned to the study, Pei Jue had been waiting here for a while, and when he came in, he hurriedly took two steps forward: "How is my father going to act?" ”
