What Pei Yaowei left behind was a 'farewell letter'.

She said in the letter that now that the king of Chu has succeeded, the emperor of the dynasty is already within reach, and she sincerely congratulates him, but this body has no intention of re-entering the imperial palace, only to forget about him in the rivers and lakes, I hope that the rest of my life will be long, and we will be well.

But Xiao Yun looked at it, his brother got this letter from his sister-in-law, but he couldn't get any better.

"Brother, don't worry, I'll go to my sister-in-law! I will bring them back to you with all my beards and all my tails! ”

He changed into a strong suit, a sword and a waist knife, and looked like he was ready to travel far away, and comforted Xiao Di with great ambition: "When the people come back, if you put more effort into it, you will be able to persuade your sister-in-law to change her mind!" ”

Xiao Di looked him up and down and smiled rather shamelessly.

"I know better than you what kind of character she has." He shook his head and sighed: "If there is really a chance to change his mind, then there will be no such thing as leaving a book and running away." ”

"But ......"

Xiao Yun intended to persuade again, but Xiao Di shook his head, passed by him, and walked to the porch and stood down.

He looked at the sunny sky and said leisurely: "Speaking of which, this imperial palace is indeed not a good place for her, as for me, ......"

Xiao Yun peeped at his expression, and his heart moved suddenly.

"Brother...... his voice trembled slightly: "You're not...... You really have a mind that shouldn't be moved, right? ”

Xiao Di snorted and turned his head to look at him.

"What mind should not be moved?"

He finished asking, but seeing Xiao Yun's deep eyebrows, he looked at him fixedly, and there was a vague hint of opposition in his eyes.

"Brother, this throne ......"

Xiao Di interrupted him.

He said, "This emperor is mine, and it is not a must-have thing.

But Pei Yaowei is. ”

"Brother......

Xiao Di didn't say anything more, but looked at Xiao Yun again, and the deeper meaning became.

Shufan County, outside Ciyun City.

Li Xiao was ordered by Xiao Di to escort Pei Yaowei all the way south, and arrived outside Ciyun City, because Xiao Di had another mission to Zhou to give him, Pei Yaowei didn't know how long he would stay in Ciyun, which would inevitably delay his errand, so he let him take the first step and go by himself.

If it was in the past, Li Xiao would probably not agree, but thinking about the purpose of going to Zhou this time, he really didn't dare to delay, left a pair of guards under his command to her, and sent a letter to Gu Zijun in the army, so he said goodbye to her worriedly.

"Sister-in-law Wang, you should be careful, when the war is chaotic, it is better not to stay in Yuncheng for a long time."

"Well, don't worry." Pei Yao looked at him with a heavy heart, and also instructed: "Mo Yan, although I don't know why you are going to Zhou Kingdom, but ...... Yuwen Zhijun is not easy to deal with, you have to be careful and come back safely. ”

Li Lin hugged his fists, and he separated from her under Ciyun City.

Standing outside the Wen family's ancestral house, Pei Yao looked at the door, thinking about it for a long time before he mustered up the courage to walk up.

She originally thought that there was still a lot of talk here, and she needed to explain to the Wen family, but she didn't want to, the knock on the door landed, and the person who came to open the door for her was the one she came to look for-

"You're here." Looking at Duzhen, who was dressed in plain clothes, she said lightly.

It was not a surprise to see her alone.

She blessed herself and called: "Pei Niangniang." Then he turned sideways and led her to the gentle dwelling.

As soon as she entered the door, Duzhen served her tea, asked her to wait, and entered the inner room by herself, and after a while, she came out with a sandalwood box.

The box has a unique style, and what is particularly eye-catching is that there are nine locks embedded on all four sides of the box.

Pei Yaowei took out the five keys she brought with her, lined them up on the table one by one, and smiled casually.

"Your master is really interesting, too." She said to Duyu: "It's clear that she doesn't plan to congratulate me on my birthday, but she has prepared four more keys for me......"

Hearing this, Duyu's face was rarely a little undulating, and he couldn't help but say sadly: "Niangniang, she ...... I didn't expect this day to come so quickly. ”

Pei Yao's eyebrows moved slightly.

She pondered for a moment, then suddenly closed her eyes and exhaled heavily, turned to sit aside, and asked, "Then what did she expect?" ”

She looked at Duzhen: "Duzhen, since you know that you are waiting for me here, you naturally have something to say to me."

Anyway, I'll listen. ”

Duyu was silent for a long time, and only then did he turn over and count the words in his heart countless times, and told her one by one.

Before she spoke, she knelt down in front of Pei Yaowei and kowtowed to her heavily.

Pei Yaowei did not speak.

"Pei Niangniang, the slave is not defending her master, she is just ...... There are many things that Niangniang doesn't really want to do, but for the long run, she can't help but do it.

...... She once compared herself to herself, she said that in her bones, she is a very vindictive person.

After the death of His Royal Highness King Qi, Niangniang suddenly woke up and finally knew that the destiny of heaven could not be changed, and she was determined to avenge His Royal Highness.

It's just that she is not the same as the little prince.

In Niangniang's opinion, Emperor Yan Ping not only deserves to die, but he also deserves to die well. ”

She spoke, pausing for a long time before painfully picking up on the last sentence: "The same, herself." ”

Pei Yao clenched her fingers unconsciously.

"Therefore, with his own sacrifice array, he wants Xiao to be devoured by the infant spirit and die, so that his soul will be scattered, and he will never be able to be reborn...... These are all dead ends that she has planned for a long time? ”

Duyu nodded.

"That," she looked away from Duyu, and after a long time, she asked, "...... What about me? ”

"What did she kill me and regenerate me?"

"Is it a step for her to take revenge on Xiao Zhu, or does she think that sacrificing her flesh and blood in exchange for being reborn - this will be what I want?"

Duyu shook his head again and again.

"No, Pei Niangniang, please believe that Niangniang never wanted to hurt you."

"The reason she's ...... like this It's all because of the national teacher.

Your life and death are all needed by the national teacher. ”

Pei Yao's complexion changed several times, and finally smiled, "Yes...... She said that she knew what Jiguang was asking for, and she was willing to drive him ......"

"It's not!" Du Yu hurriedly said: "It's not like this! Niangniang does know the purpose of the national teacher's life, but Niangniang has never been with it!

Niangniang asked herself if she didn't have the ability to stop the national teacher from chasing the footsteps of Huadushi, so she ...... She can only pretend to be obedient, be false and wronged, and use her own methods to contribute to the fight against the national teacher. ”

Pei Yao's brows jumped, and her heart seemed to be tightened: "What method?" ”

Duyu paused and struggled to his feet.

She took the sandalwood box over, along with the other four keys that she didn't have time to hand over to Pei Yaowei.

"Niangniang said that in this world, the only person who can fight against the national teacher is Wen Yanjun." As she spoke, she looked at the box, "And the contents of this box can probably help." ”

For a long time, Pei Yao got up, her fingers trembled slightly, and she opened the lock one by one.

The contents of the box, she had seen.

"It's ...... Everbright Sword? ”

When Pei Yaowei left Ciyun City, it happened that there was also news in Beijing that the throne had been decided and King Huai'an had ascended the throne as emperor.

It's not that easy. After all, Xiao Yun is young, and if you really want to talk about it in detail, there is no credit for the achievements that can be obtained, and many people who support the ascension of the king of Chu are even more dissatisfied with the fact that this big pie was taken away by a small child, and the capital has been in turmoil for several days, and finally it is still under Xiao Di's suppression, and it is only after a little stability that it is stable.

Just when Pei Yao thought that at least the matter of the throne was settled, and she could breathe a sigh of relief, she rushed to the camp of Split Land Pass and met Xiao Di on the night she met an unexpected person.

The lights in the camp were dim, and she looked at the person who happened to come out for a long time in front of the main tent, and then asked uncertainly, "...... Are you, Uncle Wen Yan? ”

The miserable moonlight accompanied by the lights illuminated the people who were half a hundred years old in front of them.

The excellent eyebrows were lightly smiling, and he looked at her kindly: "I haven't seen you for many years, it's hard for you to remember me." ”

"You are really ......" Pei Yaowei suddenly met him, and there was a feeling of 'suddenly looking back', and his heart was surging, "Uncle Wen Yan!" You're finally willing to show up! You don't know, I-"

Having said this, Xiao Di suddenly opened the curtain and walked out.

Pei Yao was startled, came back to her senses, and was about to talk to him, but was pulled to her side by him, at this time, she was happy for a while, and only then did she notice that the situation in front of her was wrong.

Xiao Di gave her a look and signaled her not to speak.

"Wen Yanjun walks slowly, and the king and princess will not send it."

His attitude was cold, but Wen Yan obviously didn't care.

"Your Highness is gracious." He said: "I hope you can consider the advice below, whether this deal will be done or not...... In three days, I will come to hear His Highness's answer. ”

With that, he nodded at Pei Yaowei and left.

"You say...... What the? ”

After entering the tent, Xiao Di told Pei Yaowei the purpose of Wen Yan's visit, and the latter sat there for a long time before he opened his mouth blankly.

"Uncle Wen Yan, do you want to protect King Wu from the throne?"

She asked, "Did you say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong?" ”

Xiao Di shook his head.

"That's right." He said: "Wen Yanjun's words are clear - he knows what Jiguang wants in his heart, and he is willing to do his best for this world, but the premise is that he wants Yun'er to give up the throne, he wants me to give up the throne, and hand over the country of Daliang to Xiao Ji." ”

King Wu Xiao Ji, the sixth son of Emperor Xiao Jingze, and the half-brother of Xiao Di.

"The two of them ......"

Pei Yaoyan knew that Wen Yan had a deep understanding of the world, and it was impossible for her to ask for nothing in this red dust, but she never thought that Wen Yan would ...... will stand with Xiao Ji.

"Heh......" After a long time, she said, "I really don't know what to say." He expected that you would have the heart to sacrifice your life for the people, and you would not let Jiguang do that jade and stone burning, so he dared to open his mouth and express his chest directly——"

She laughed helplessly and looked at Xiao Di: "Speaking of which, I really praise you!" ”
