Pei Tianyi was painting in the room of the inn, and his temporary residence did not even have a desk, so he could only spread the drawing paper on the square table and reluctantly paint.

Since the death of his wife, he has developed the habit of painting for her.

The beautiful woman has passed away, but her voice and appearance have always lingered in his mind.

Pei Zhao came over and said, "...... General, their confession was obtained. ”

Pei Tianyi took action in person, and the Steward Luo who pretended to be the manager of the Pei family was naturally found by them in the end. It's just that the man is probably trained, and he doesn't show any of his mouth, and he can vigorously seek death when he has the opportunity, and clearly put life and death out of the way.

The leader didn't say anything, but the people who followed him couldn't stand the guards' questioning, and told them everything they knew.

Although it is mostly trivial, there are also some things that can come in handy.

Pei Tianyi put the last stroke on the drawing paper, looked at the woman with the woman's hair in a bun under the pen, sighed softly, and ordered the guards on the side to carefully pack up the painting scroll and walk out of the room. Seeing that Pei Zhao seemed to be a little embarrassed, he frowned and asked him, "But there is a problem with the confession?" ”

Pei Zhao replied: "The housekeeper surnamed Luo is a person from the Weiyang side branch on the surface, and he tried to bite his tongue several times to commit suicide, but he didn't reveal the identity of the person behind it......"

Pei Tianyi paused and asked again, "What about the others?" ”

Thinking of what Steward Luo and they did this time, Pei Tianyi was sure that no one around him would leak their traces, that is to say, the other party didn't know when they would pass through the Tiger Leaping Gorge, but they let people mine stones on the Tiger Leaping Gorge, even if it really caused a collapse, it might not really be able to harm them, at most it blocked their route back to Beijing.

This move looks like a waste move.

Pei Zhao saw that Pei Tianyi didn't seem to blame, so he quickly summarized the confessions of those who followed Steward Luo.

"What the others said was very common things, and there was nothing worth delving, except that one of the little servants said that he had overheard the conversation between the surnamed Luo and other people, and he also heard the surnamed Luo say something about the master and the prince. Because of this, we searched carefully, and there was a bag of eight taels of cloud tea in the luggage of the Luo steward, and the bag used to hold the tea still had the royal mark on it. ”

Pei Tianyi was stunned: "...... If you look closely, is that indeed a royal seal? ”

Yunwu tea is a royal tribute, ordinary people can't get in touch with these superb teas at all, even Pei Tianyi himself doesn't have much Yunwu tea, Naluo Butler is just a small housekeeper, where does the Yunwu tea come from, or the Yunwu tea with the royal seal.

It seems that there is a lot of involvement behind this matter.

However, it has been more than ten years since the emperor ascended the throne, and none of the princes under his knees are still minors, and none of them have been crowned princes in advance. Besides, even if they are really precocious and want to do something, it is impossible to use the means of assassinating Pei Tianyi, and they can't win him over!

will use such means to disgust people, and there are only those princes who competed with the emperor for the throne and lost a mess.

Pei Tianyi's eyes showed a look of disdain, the emperor was still too merciful back then, except for the princes who were beheaded and shown to the public, the others were still alive and well.

It's a pity that some people can't be indulged, so don't they come out to cause trouble again.

If you want to say why Pei Tianyi hates other princes so much, it is also related to his wife.

Back then, he was indeed a non-believer, and arranged a spy to his wife's side, but in addition to that spy, he also arranged for other followers to be by his wife's side. Then it was because those princes were unwilling and tried in vain to unite with foreign enemies to usurp the throne that Pei Tianyi had to stay at the border.

The backhand he left for his wife was also useless because of the interference of those princes, and his wife unfortunately died in the end.

If it weren't for the emperor in front of him, and he thought about his son who was born without a mother, Pei Tianyi really wanted to carry a knife and kill all those princes.

Murder pays for life, as it should be.

Pei Tianyi settled down and asked Pei Zhao to take someone to collect the evidence clearly, and when he returned to Beijing, he would directly submit it to His Majesty.

After His Majesty knew about it, he would definitely give him some compensation, but it could be used to give the soldiers at the border pass or to give Ah Yu some benefits.

He looked at the dappled sky outside the house: "It's time to go back too." ”

After spending more than a month in the small prefecture, the road from Tiger Leap Gorge to Kyoto has been cleared, and there is no wind or rain, so there is no need to worry about the collapse of the mountain.

Having said that, by the time they finally returned to Kyoto, it was already seven days later.

Since Pei Yin confirmed the news that Pei Tianyi was safe and sound with Pei Yin that day, she has been looking forward to meeting Pei Tianyi, but she has been waiting for her to study in the academy for several days, and she has not seen Xie Huai'an come to ask her to go out.

Due to the follow-up impact of Pei Yin's letter, Mrs. Wen even had the idea of letting Ah Yin Hui learn to read.

Although this idea was finally dispelled, on the other hand, every time Ah Yu came to Mu Xiu, she had to return to Kyoto from the academy, otherwise Mrs. Wen would not be able to put her mind at ease.

Compared with the solitude in the academy and the self-satisfaction in the other courtyards, Ah Yu still likes to go back to Kyoto, at least with his mother and Wen Ning as his companion, although Wen Ning is still a little doll, but after the first year old, it becomes much more interesting.

When he returned to Kyoto, he always rode in a horse-drawn carriage.

This time was no exception.

Who knew that the carriage had just walked to the official road, and it was broken. Fortunately, the carriage was not moving very fast, and even if there was a problem with one of the wheels, it did not have a great impact on the Ah Yu in the carriage.

In fact, the carriage was just temporarily immobile, and there were no other problems.

It just so happened that there was a tea stall near the official road for pedestrians to rest, and Ah Yu took a group of maids and guards to the tea stall to rest temporarily, and at the same time sent someone back to the other courtyard and changed into a carriage.

Aoba and Aobis took the tea set from the carriage, borrowed the fire from the tea stall, and made a pot of tea for Ayu.

While drinking tea and looking at the official road outside, Ah Yu suddenly thought that the last time she was in this tea stall, she met Pei Yin and others, and she didn't know when she would meet General Pei.

Most people can't stand the chatter.

Ah Yu just had nothing to do, so she casually diverged her thoughts, and when she came back to her senses, the small courtyard outside the tea stall was crowded with people.

The man at the head was dressed in a military uniform, his helmet and armor were neatly worn, and from a distance, he could only see a pair of cold eyes, and the guards around him were all gray-brown, and they looked very difficult to mess with.

Those people collided with the guards left in the courtyard, and no one on either side was the first to speak.

Aoba looked at the group of menacing people outside, silently rubbed in front of Ah Yu, and whispered: "Girl, those people outside look fierce, they don't look like good people, or the girl hides first!" "You have to find a secret place to hide, otherwise the people outside will make a move, and the people they brought out today will not be able to resist at all.

Seeing that Aoba was about to go to the shop of the tea shop, let them help hide Ah Yu.

Qingrui stretched out her hand to cover Aoba's mouth, and said with some hatred: "You only saw that they were very fierce, but didn't you see the armor worn by the leader of the people!" That's the armor that only soldiers of the imperial court can wear, and it's not a guy who ran out of a bandit's den......"

Although Qingrui said it very well, for some reason the second half of her sentence sounded weird.

Ah Yu was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that it shouldn't be so coincidental!

I saw Pei Tianyi in the crowd take off his helmet and look at the little girl sitting in the house, the light in the room is not very good, and the place where Ah Yu is sitting is still biased towards the corner, so that when he looks at Ah Yu, he sees a vague figure, but Ah Yu can look at him carefully.

Before Ah Yu could say anything, the mother-in-law who was boiling tea in the house suddenly said: "Girl, the person outside is General Pei, the general who pacified the northwest, he is the same as the old lady, he is a good person!" Look, why don't you let him come in and rest a bit? ”

The land occupied by the tea shop originally belonged to the Wen family, and the people who served tea and poured water inside were also arranged by the Wen family, and they all knew Ah Yu.

And Pei Tianyi will take some people back to Kyoto every summer, most people in Kyoto have seen him riding horses and parading the streets, and the mother-in-law who boils tea has also been fortunate to see him.

It turns out that he is Pei Tianyi!

A moment of trance suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and she realized that she had seen this person before.

In the temple in Weizhou, Pei Jiang, who was thinking about the portrait of his wife, turned out to be Pei Tianyi.

But Duan Yuzhi said that Pei Jiang is his distant relative, if Pei Jiang is Pei Tianyi, and Pei Tianyi is Pei Jiang, then are Pei Tianyi and Duan Yuzhi also distant relatives?

Ah Yu felt that her brain suddenly turned into a mess, as if she had discovered something, and as if she didn't know anything.

The people outside were walking towards the house, and his appearance became clearer and clearer in Ah Yu's eyes.

It's not the same dead appearance as the people around you.,It's just like the memory of a normal person.,There is no abnormality in the slightest.。

Sure enough, as long as you avoid the established death, then you can spend the rest of your life peacefully.

The moment Ah Yu saw Pei Tianyi clearly, a burst of realization suddenly rose in her heart, and this feeling was exactly the same as when she first saw the future that belonged to Wen Ru.

However, at the moment when Pei Tianyi stepped into the house, Ah Yu's vision suddenly blurred, and she clearly heard Qingye and Qingrui beside her exclaiming, but she couldn't control her body, as if her soul and body were separated, and her vision and mind were eroded by darkness.

In the darkness without a glimmer of light, she heard the sound of water dripping.

Ah Yu only felt that she was in a closed space, and even her five senses were lost, and as time passed, the sound of water droplets falling became louder and louder, and she also felt that her consciousness was slowly recovering.

The first thing she regained was her sense of smell, and she could smell the smell of dirt mixed with blood, which was supposed to come from her surroundings, but the smell of blood was supposed to come from other people. She didn't know if it was her or someone else in the same enclosed space who was hurt.

Soon, she couldn't think about it that much.

Because the pain took over all her thoughts, her body was crushed under the rocks, her bones seemed to have been broken, her breath smelled of blood, and perhaps her internal organs were seriously injured. She opened her mouth to tentatively speak, but the rocks roared down, and she didn't even hear what she said, and her memory finally lingered in a sharp pain, and she felt the breath of death.

"Girl, you're awake!"

In the rickety carriage, Aoba and Qingrui knelt on both sides of Ah Yu, and the moment they saw Ah Yu's eyelids fluttering, they cheered up and kept an eye on Ah Yu's movements, and finally waited until Ah Yu opened his eyes.

The sunlight jumped through the gaps in the windows and fell into the car, the door curtains were blown back and forth by the wind, and there was light in front of them, but there was no darkness.

Ah Yu asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is this?" ”

Her body trembled slightly, the sharp pain in her body continued, and the tip of her nose still reverberated with a strong smell of blood. If it weren't for the familiar people or things in front of her, she would even think that she was still trapped in that small world, calling the heavens and the earth unspiritual.

Aoba and Aoba looked at each other, and their eyes were full of worry when they looked at Ayu.

"The girl fainted without warning, we originally wanted to take the girl back to the other courtyard directly, and it happened that the carriage of the other courtyard also came, and under the escort of General Pei, we were going to go back to Kyoto directly."

Qingrui explained: "General Pei has a guard next to him who happens to be the apprentice of Doctor Yang, after he diagnosed and treated the girl, he said that he couldn't see anything abnormal, and he was worried that he was not good at learning, so he gave the girl the life-saving medicine made by Doctor Yang, he said that ordinary doctors are not as good as his medical skills, and the girl's unprecedented illness is probably only diagnosed and treated by Doctor Yang......"

Ah Yu let out a soft 'um' and didn't comment too much on it.

After a long time, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she suddenly said, "This sunlight is a little dazzling, find something to cover me!" ”

Aoba subconsciously looked in the direction of the car window, although the window was not opened, but this time period was clearly close to dusk, where did the sun come from?

But when the girl said that the sun was dazzling, it was very dazzling!

Together with Qingrui, she first helped Ah Shen to half-lean on the carriage, and then put a hat on Ah Yu.

The long tulle hung down the brim of his hat, and Ah Yu turned his head to look at the plank of the carriage, leaving only the back of his head for Aoba and the others. Where no one noticed, she bit her lower lip tightly, the pain making her barely controllable.

It's really painful to be crushed in the collapse of the rocks, waiting for the taste of death!
