Ah Yu took Qingye and Qingrui to the restaurant that Xie Huai'an found, and saw Pei Yin inside.

Pei Yin heard that Ah Yu had something to ask for, and she was very puzzled.

A few years ago, because General Pei listened to Ah Yu's words, he paused for a while on the way back to Beijing, so he also avoided death. However, when General Pei was resting on the official road outside the city, he met Ah Yu who suddenly fainted, and after he sent Ah Yu home, although the Wen family did not reject him as before, they also openly said that they did not like General Pei.

If it was said that in the past, the Wen Pei family rarely dealt with each other, which was a thing that they did not say explicitly, but tacitly understood it, then it directly became an attitude towards the outside world.

It's very above board.

Even the servants in the palace knew that the two of them had shown an attitude of not getting along with each other.

He thought about what Ah Yu said before, and thought that although the little girl was friendly to him in her heart, she was afraid of the elders in the family, and she would not deliberately appear in front of him in the future. Who knew that the little girl didn't know when she learned to be yang and yin.

Ah Yu sat down in the room, and the shopkeeper who was waiting outside all the time had already delivered the meals one after another.

The food comes first, and other things that can already predict the result can naturally be put aside first.

After the wine was full, Ah Yu raised her hand and rubbed her already red cheeks, she had never drunk before, but the shopkeeper who delivered the food didn't know about it, Xie Huai'an also forgot to hurt the other party and carefully instructed, Ah Yu took a small sip of the small cup in front of him after eating, and the color on his face became very vivid in an instant.

She doesn't drink well, but she tastes good.

didn't cry or make trouble, just obediently waited for the two people who were eating opposite to put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands, and then held the teacup sent by the shopkeeper, and took a small sip of hangover tea, which naturally tasted not good.

Ah Yu frowned, and whispered to Pei Yin: "...... I have some things I want to get rid of you, but if you don't find it easy to do, you can just say no. It's a big deal, I'll think of other ways, who hasn't said that there are always more solutions than difficulties......"

The alcohol punch makes the way people think about problems much more directly.

She said for a long time, and only persuaded Pei Yin not to agree to things indiscriminately because of friendship, and she was ready to be rejected before she even said a specific request.

There are really not many people that Ah Yu can really trust.

Xie Huai'an may be able to count one.

But Ah Yu can trust him, and that's because of all kinds of coincidences.

At the beginning, Ah Yu only thought that Xie Huai'an was ill-fated, he had already been buried underwater at a young age, and there was some kind of cause and effect between her and Xie Huai'an, after all, she sent someone to fish Xie Huai'an out of the water, so that he could be buried in the ground. Later, after getting along for a long time, Xie Huai'an helped her many times, and Ah Yu gradually regarded Xie Huai'an as her own.

Now that the person opposite has changed from Xie Huai'an to Pei Yin, Ah Yu's trust is not so easy to pay.

At least in Wen Ru's memory, Ah Yu had seen Xie Huai'an by her brother's side, although she had not communicated with him at that time, but she knew that there was such a person. And Pei Yin only appeared during the Lantern Festival that year, maybe you have to add the meeting in her grandfather's study, but other than that, there really is nothing else.

Ah Yu also knew that not everything could come according to Wen Ru's memory, otherwise she wouldn't have to think about changing the death of her father and brother.

But she still didn't have that confidence, thinking that Pei Yin would really run around for her business.

During the period of Ah Yu's unprovoked silence, Xie Huai'an looked at Ah Yu who was wandering out of the world, thought about it, and helped Ah Yu explain to Pei Yin.

“…… My brother and Brother Wen Huan have already decided to go out on a study tour next spring, and they are expected to take a boat down from Lishui, and it just so happens that Ah Yu and I have heard that there are water bandits on Lishui, although the imperial court has sent troops to clean up once a few years ago, but after many years, there seems to be another group of water bandits gathered on Lishui. ”

Xie Huai'an smiled at Pei Yin and said: "After Ah Yu heard the news that Brother Wen Huan was going to go out, she was very worried about his safety, she was going to persuade Brother Wen Huan to change the time of going out, but it was I who told her about you, so she thought about asking you to help find the generals who will go out for training next year, hoping to persuade them to change the location of the training to Lishui......"

The water bandits who are mixed up on the Lishui are naturally not soft-hearted people, but those water bandits do not like to do some thankless things.

Usually the objects of their robbery are passing merchant ships, or ships that are very rich at first sight, and a group of poor scholars like Wen Huan and them, it stands to reason that there will be no sailors who deliberately target them, unless they themselves show their wealth in front of others.

But how could children like Wen Huan and Xie Huaining, who grew up with officialdom philosophy in elementary school, do those brainless things.

So when Xie Huai'an first heard Ah Yu's idea, he felt that something was wrong, and after going back to think about it, he thought that the bandits should not deliberately rob poor scholars, but it was just Ah Yu's kindness, and he didn't need to refuse for others, so he also helped to think of a solution to the problem.

Pei Yin was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Ah Yu to really have something to ask him for help.

He didn't even have a little time to think about it, so he agreed bluntly.

By the time Ah Yu came back to his senses, Pei Yin was already discussing with Xie Huai'an when he would invite an acquaintance to take someone to clean up the bandits on Lishui.

Catching a glimpse of Ah Yu's bewildered appearance, Pei Yin couldn't help but chuckle.

The smile was fleeting, because he suddenly remembered the reason why Ah Yu was looking for him, the little girl was worried about her brother's safety, so she ran over to him for help regardless of the risk of being discovered by her father, and she really had a deep affection for Wen Huan.

But it is clear that he is also Ah Yu's brother, but Ah Yu will never look for him when he has nothing to do, and will only ask for help when he needs help.

Ah Yin saw Pei Yin's face change in a short period of time clearly, there were just three of them in the room, before she came back to her senses, Pei Yin and Xie Huai'an were talking and laughing, the person who provoked him would definitely not be Xie Huai'an, and it would not be anyone else, after excluding other impossible results, the rest would naturally be such a one-person candidate.

Even she didn't know where she provoked Pei Yin.

Could it be because she wanted to ask Pei Yin for help, but although she was in a daze just now, she vaguely heard Pei Yin agree to help!

There are always people who say, 'A woman's heart, a needle under the sea'.

But Ah Yu felt that how could this range be limited to women, in fact, many men's minds were also very deep and unpredictable.

Just when Ah Yin took a step away from his gaze, ready to say something to ease the atmosphere, Pei Yin finally spoke.

He sighed softly: "Ah Shen really has nothing to say to your brother, and I also want a sister like Ah Yu!" ”

Ah Yu pursed her lips, but she didn't expect that someone would think that she was a good sister, so that she didn't know how to explain it.

"I'm not good at all......"

She lowered her head, and the memory of Wen Ru resurfaced in her mind, if she was really a good sister, she would not have done such a thing as a thief as a father, and she would not have been to her brother's grave once in four years.

Xie Huai paused, he was taken aback by Pei Yin's words.

At the beginning, Pei Yin swore to him that Ah Yin was his sister, but now after listening to Pei Yin's words, he almost thought that Pei Yin was going to tell the truth directly.

But Xie Huai'an carefully looked at Pei Yin's face, and after seeing that he acted as if he was really just saying something casually, he put down his snack a little, and then saw Ah Yin's slightly depressed appearance.

He didn't understand what was going on.

"Speaking of which, my brother and Brother Wen Huan set a time to leave after the Lantern Festival, if they go to intercede with familiar generals, when will they go to suppress the bandits, will it be before the year, or after the year? You can't put it off until after we're gone! ”

Xie Huai'an dropped a series of questions and successfully diverted Pei Yin's attention.

They also listed all the generals Pei Yin knew, and found a general surnamed Li in it, this person's official position is not too high, but he has a backer behind his back, and there is a group of soldiers under him, and he happens to have a good relationship with Pei Yin, and for Pei Yin, he is the best one to talk to.

"Now the Chinese New Year is a few months away, and their soldiers are also going to celebrate the New Year, even if they want to go out for trials, it should be delayed until the New Year." Pei Yin thought for a while and said to Xie Huai'an: "I try my best to persuade them to send troops as soon as possible, if they are lucky, they should be able to complete all the things that are suppressed before the Lantern Festival." ”

Pei Yin here has already made a promise, and Ah Yin is naturally waiting for this promise to be realized.

The passage of time is always rushed.

By the time Ah Yu received the letter from Xie Huai'an, the first snow of the year had fallen in Kyoto, and the fine snowflakes had melted into a small pool of water after falling to the ground.

Because of the warm memory, Ah Yu doesn't like winter very much.

When winter came, she would nest in her own small courtyard and easily refuse to go out.

In the letter sent by Xie Huai'an, it was all about Pei Yin.

It is said that Pei Yin spent a lot of effort to make full use of his three-inch incorruptible tongue, and it took nearly more than a month to persuade the general Li Shen, and by the way, he also determined the time for General Li to send troops.

This is not a military secret, but it is not something that can be easily told to others.

It's just that Ah Yu is the one who made the request, so naturally he can't be counted among the others.

Ah Yu carefully locked the letter sent by Xie Huai'an in his small wooden box, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

Aoba, who handed over the letter to Ah Yu, couldn't help but look at Ah Yu, and wondered what Xie Huai'an had written, which could make the girl who was very unhappy when they arrived in winter smile.

She only glanced at it twice, and was glared at by Qingrui, who was standing beside Ah Yu.

After leaving Ayu's room, Qingrui stretched out her index finger and tapped Aoba's forehead: "You! How many times have I told you, what the girl said to you, you can inquire, the girl is not ready to tell you the things, you can't even read it, why can't you always remember things? ”

Aoba smiled flatteringly and didn't speak.

It's normal for people to be curious.

Besides, she only looked at it twice, and she didn't even have a voice.

Ah Yu still doesn't like the Lantern Festival very much, but this time he is counting the days with his fingers, waiting for the day of the Lantern Festival day by day.

Xie Huai'an also mentioned in the letter that the other party had decided to send troops before the Lantern Festival, as Pei Yin said, after the Lantern Festival, the matter of suppressing bandits would almost come to an end, and Ah Yu was naturally looking forward to the arrival of that day.

Coming before the Lantern Festival is the thunderous wrath of the saints today.

And the cause of this anger is precisely because of this anti-bandit action of General Lee.

The weapons used by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are all from the Ministry of Industry, and the officers and soldiers who are far away at the border pass to guard against the invasion of foreign enemies are urging the Ministry of Industry to send more weapons, but the Ministry of Industry will often shirk the matter to the Ministry of Households, saying that the Ministry of Households has not given them the silver taels to develop weapons, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Military generals like General Li who served in Kyoto did not lack newly made weapons even with the officers and soldiers below, but the fact that they were not short did not mean that others were also lacking.

General Li Shen led people to patrol the Lishui River, and within two or three days they found the traces of the water bandits, and after they found out all the water bandits' lair, it was time to really start working.

With this move, it was natural to find out that something was wrong.

The weapons used by the water bandits were no worse than those used by General Li Shen, and the nine-ring broadsword used by the leader inside was even better than the red tassel spear in General Li's hand, which was worth pondering.

After the bandits on Lishui were cleared, General Li Shen led people to touch the bandits' lair and copied all the objects inside.

His luck is not good, and it is good to say that it is not good.

Obviously, they went to the gold and silver treasures of the old nest, but who knew that General Li just accidentally tripped and stumbled, and even estimated a secret room for them, where the leader of the bandits hid a lot of things, and even his correspondence with important ministers in the court.

It's just that people on both sides are more cautious.

The handwriting on the letter is the most uncharacteristic pavilion style, and it is obviously not feasible to recognize people by relying on one's own hands.

In addition to this, the names they used in the letters were pseudonyms, which was not difficult.

General Li took those letters, as well as the nine-ring broadsword snatched from the water bandits, and returned to Kyoto with a weapon engraved with the mark of the Ministry of Industry, and directly stabbed everything in front of the emperor, which is what is the matter of today's holy thunder and anger.

Ah Yu was indignant in his heart.

She had long known that the people behind the scenes would not arrange people to Lishui because of a clearance, but now it seems that she guessed correctly.

I just don't know what kind of person the important minister of the court who colluded with the water bandits is.

How did he let the water bandits kill innocents with peace of mind!

Perhaps, he didn't have the heart at all.
