Chapter 14: Murder with a Knife (2)

This idea is really ridiculous, but after hesitating for a moment, she was stunned and asked: "You and Zhao Feiyi...... Really have no personal relationship? ”

When Xiao Di looked up at her, his expression was already indiscerning.

He shook his head and said, "I just think that the content of this letter may be somewhat credible. ”

Pei Yao frowned.

He explained, "Think about it, if we were to send someone to do something to Kui Che, who would be the one to be sent? It's nothing more than the first-class secret guard of the dead. It's not something that can damage thousands of troops, Zhao Feiyi used this matter to lure us into the game for no reason, even if it's a trap, what good can he get? The lives of a squad of dead soldiers? ”

Xu decided that the horse master had bad intentions, she listened to it, didn't think much about it, and blindly ran to refute him: "Then what if he expects to rely on the lives of these dead soldiers to get a name for a teacher, and take the opportunity to provoke a war?" ”

Xiao Di shook his head and smiled: "Then there is no need to be so troublesome." Not to mention how difficult it is to try to make a name for himself on the dead man, have you forgotten who the queen of Emperor Yuwenhuai of Yangjia is?

With Princess Zhen'an's style of acting, if you really want a teacher's name, you just have to press a little crime on Xiang Yinghuai, and you can't do anything more. ”

Pei Yaowei began to have a headache again.

Zhao Feiyi's letter came really strangely. Can it be ......

The letter is percussed with Zhao Feiyi's private seal, and this letter paper with credit is a first-class golden paper, which has always been used by a very small number of noble people in the royal family of the Zhou State, and it is a rare thing that the top craftsmen of the people can't imitate, even if this letter is not from Zhao Feiyi's hand, it must be the handwriting of the people of the Zhou royal family.

What to do?

To believe, or not to believe?

If she believes it, she really doesn't have the courage, but if she doesn't believe it......

After hearing Xiao Di's words, her heart was somewhat relaxed, Kui Che's life was there, the temptation was too great, if she really missed the opportunity, she was afraid that she would regret it to death.

Seeing that she was hesitating, Xiao Di waited for a while and said, "If you don't know how to choose between the two paths-

Why don't you choose neither? ”

Pei Yao was stunned, "Don't choose either?" ”

He nodded, stepped closer, and patted her lightly on the top of the head, "Think about it, is there a third way." ”

Where to find this third way?

She thought about it for a long time, and finally when she woke up from a nap, she suddenly came up with an idea.

"Order."

The girl who was combing her hair hurriedly responded when she heard the sound and asked, "What does the mother command?" ”

She said: "Later, I will ask the concierge to write a post and send it to the Jiyang County Mansion." Tomorrow I will go back to my hometown. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes," after the accident, Yu Xu replied respectfully: "The slave has written it down." ”

The next day, the government of Jiyang County.

Pei Yaowei had seen Xiang Tao in the front hall, and she only said that she had nightmares in the past two days, and she always dreamed that something had happened in the house, and she was uneasy, so she had to come back to take a look. Xiang Tao didn't say anything, and after going through a scene where he was too unfamiliar to be sparse anymore, he went back to Nanyuan and let the princess take care of everything.

Pei Yaowei came over today, mainly to meet Xiangying.

Xiangyao was not in the house, she played with her little sister Fangshi for a long time, and listened to the little girl ask countless times about when her mother would come back, until the afternoon, Xiangying had an errand and returned to the house.

In the room when Xiangfang was in the room, Pei Yao coaxed her to sleep, and when she went outside, she saw Xiangying waiting there, and when she saw her, she respectfully bowed: "Niangniang is fine." ”

She gestured to excuse him, looked back at the inner room, and went out of the room with Xiang Ying with no worries.

The servants followed from afar, Pei Yao was not in a hurry to talk to him about business, and first asked, "How long has it been since Mrs. Huan returned to her hometown to visit her mother?" Didn't you say you would be back in a month or two? Why is it that you have been delayed until this time, and there is no one to be seen? After a pause, she remembered something, and her brows deepened again: "The maid I sent over to take care of my wife before, and I haven't sent a letter back to report my safety for more than a month, can't something happen?" ”

Xiangying and Mrs. Huan have never been very close, the relationship between the two is nothing more than respectful and polite, about this matter, he occasionally thinks about it for a while, but it is also a little strange, but I heard my father say that the old lady of the Huan family has not been well, thinking that Mrs. Huan's mother and daughter are deeply affectionate, and they are reluctant to come back, so there is nothing that cannot be said.

He talked about his thoughts to Pei Yao, and after Pei Yaowei heard it, not only was he not relieved, but he became more suspicious.

There are some things that Xiangying doesn't know, but she knows.

If Mrs. Huan is really Mrs. Huan, then her mother is seriously ill, so it is natural to be uneasy and reluctant, but the point is that that Mrs. is really surnamed Shen.

Moreover, with Xiang Tao's care for Mrs. Huan, he had to take him tightly with him when he went out to the border, why was he suddenly willing to be separated from the two places, and he hadn't seen him for months?

Thinking like this, she silently wrote down the matter in her heart, planning to check it carefully after the matter in front of her was over.

"You're coming back today, but what's the matter?"

Pei Yao came back to his senses, looked left and right, and saw that everyone was far away, so he nodded and said, "There is something that I have to entrust to you." ”

Xiang Ying bowed his head, and asked her to just command. Then, Pei Yaowei told him all the secret letters from Zhou Guo and Zhen'an in front of him.

"Kui Che is going north, there won't be too many soldiers and horses around him, and Kui's current situation is also embarrassing, he is secretly marching, and he has to hide it, so if you want to get rid of him, it will not be difficult to go to the sky."

While talking, she returned to the East Garden with Xiangying, washed the bamboo and led the people into the refreshments, and then withdrew, the main hall was empty and quiet, inexplicably heavy and heavy.

Xiang Ying carefully digested the things before and after, and before and after he didn't have time to be surprised, he quickly entered the situation.

"What do you meanβ€”" he asked, "is the route of the march sent by the Zhen'an Horse credible?" ”

Pei Yao let out a long sigh, "It's hard to say." But I don't want to pass up this opportunity. ”

Xiang Ying frowned slightly, thought about it, and only asked, "What do you need me to do?" ”

Pei Yaowei looked at him, but smiled for a moment: "Changchu, don't you dare to help me do things without asking me about my plans?" ”

Xiangying shook his head and smiled faintly, as if to say that there was no need for this.

"I want to get rid of Kui Che and cut off Yuwen Zhijun's arm, but I don't care who this person who got rid of him is." Pei Yao said: "I have doubts about Zhao Feiyi's letter, because the Chu Wangfu can't make this knife." ”

When Xiangying heard this, his brain moved, and he already understood.

"What do you mean," he asked, "Your Majesty?" ”

Pei Yaowei nodded.

She wanted to get rid of Kui Che, and if Xiao Zhu knew the whereabouts of this person, she would definitely be unwilling.

"Speaking of which, the emperor has been somewhat suspicious of the affairs of the Zhou State recently." Xiang Ying said: "Now the border looks calm, it seems that there is no major event, but the envoys sent to Fanjing have not returned for a long time, and although the prince of the Kui family has been imprisoned, he has not been dealt with, all kinds of signs are unsettling." ”

Pei Yaowei chuckled, "If you doubt, you will doubt, just right." ”

As she spoke, she took out a note from the sachet and handed it to Xiang Ying: "These are the spy houses of the Dark Guard Division on the border, and their methods of collecting information, all of which Li Bai has always been used to, and the only people who know about it are me and Xiao Zhu, and they are very hidden."

You managed to send someone to reveal Kui Che's march route to them, so that Xiao Zhu knew that Yuwen Zhijun secretly transferred troops, intending to penetrate the forests and cross the wasteland, and secretly attack. ”

Xiangying thought about it and was a little worried: "But Niangniang, walking through the exhausted forests and crossing the wasteland, something that has never happened in ancient times, will the emperor believe it?" ”

Pei Yaowei had already thought about this step and told him to rest assured, "The previous incident of Xi Chuduan, the head of the Yingyue Xi family, coming to Liang, can be used now."

I will order someone to spread the news that he is in the north at this time, it happens that Zhou is on the side, his sister Xi Qiao is also traveling abroad, if she is in the north, waiting to join forces with Xi Chudu's sister and brother to escort the Zhou army's trek to the wasteland, it is probably not impossible. ”

Xiang Ying listened, rethought her plan from beginning to end, and after making sure that she couldn't find any flaws, she responded, "Don't worry, I will arrange this matter as soon as possible." ”

When he does things, Pei Yaowei has always been at ease. It's just that this time, the time is really a little tight, and she waited restlessly for a few days after returning home, and finally waited for a good news back, but it was still about the direction of Shufan County.

"Princess, Zhang Tinghou sent someone back to report that the matter over there in Shufan County has been completed, and the control of Senyan Fort has been taken over by our people!" The first time Instant Rain came to her to reply was so happy, and in the end, she couldn't help but praise heartily: "The princess is very resourceful, and the slave and maid are obedient!" ”

When Pei Yaowei heard the news, her heart relaxed a little.

This Senyan Fort was originally a checkpoint located on the border of Liang Zhou, and for a hundred years, nominally, like several surrounding villages, it was shared by Liang and Zhou, but in fact, in recent decades, it has been fully controlled by the Zhou people.

It stands to reason that in terms of status, this Senyan Fort was originally not as good as the surrounding several easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack villages, but it is important in that this place is the last barrier between Shufan County and Zhou State.

Without it, once the Liang Zhou War starts, it will be a catastrophe for Shufan County, and there is no way to avoid it, but with it-

"The terrain of Shufan County is limited, and it is not a good place to garrison troops, now, with this Senyan Fort, our troops in Shufan County can be multiplied several times! Even the safety of the border can be an additional barrier! Instant Yu said happily: "Niang Niang borrowed Mr. One Yuan to act, this plan is wonderful, it seems that Zhang Tinghou came back, he is going to pour tea and pour water for you to make amends!" ”
