In the small courtyard paved with bluestone slabs and bricks of equal size, General Pei, who heard the movement at the door, was not moved at all, and still followed the daily routine, stepping on the serious gossip steps under his feet, and slowly finishing all the remaining punches, then slowly withdrew the boxing frame, and after standing down-to-earth, he spit out a mouthful of turbidity that had been held all night from his chest and abdomen, facing the morning sun, his face was ruddy like a longevity peach, and after a few breaths, he turned around.

Pei Zhengyang's figure is actually not tall, but in the end, he has been in the army for most of his life, and he looks quite strong, even if he is over the age of sixties, but thanks to his unremitting daily practice of boxing and standing on the pile, the muscles and muscles accumulated when he was young have not collapsed, if it were not for the fact that his beard and hair have turned white, and the layers of ravines on his face like mountains and mountains show that he is no longer young, just looking at the vigorous spirit contained in his eyes, as well as this tendon and flesh that everyone envies, it will still give outsiders a feeling of dragon spirit and tiger fierceness。

The old man is the son of a wealthy family, the family education is very heavy, he has read a lot of books, the old general Xu Qianzhong even once said that if he concentrates on studying, at least he will be in a tanhualang, even if he is negative and angry to join the army, the conditions are extremely difficult, but he has never given up studying books, in his spare time, he often reads the classics of military books in the account alone, so he has a bookish atmosphere that belongs to the literati of the school, even if it is a strong but full of hideous scars, the body can not hide its slightest.

Especially when he gets older, this temperament becomes more and more prominent.

When he was young, because his fiancée died innocently and tragically, he joined the army in anger despite the obstruction of his family, just to be able to take revenge with his own hands, and killed with the momentum of hatred.

He is not only a noble son of the main family of the big family, but also sits in the position of the second-in-command of the Youzhou military department for decades, and his subordinates control the life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops, and the old man is no longer the impulsive teenager he was back then, he just grabbed a dry towel from the stone table next to him, soaked it in a basin of boiling hot water and wrung it out, slowly wiped the sweat that came out just now on his face and body, and everything was dealt with, and then he spoke seriously to the person who hurriedly ran in just now:" Yun Xuan, don't panic in case of trouble, otherwise if you mess up your own position first, your brain will become stupid, and many things that can be handled well will have problems in the end, if I am like you now, I am afraid that I will be buried in the yellow sand long ago. ”

Lan Yunxuan ran in, and after shouting that sentence, he actually reacted, seeing that the old general was still boxing leisurely, he stood quietly and waited, no longer making a sound, and now when he heard the old general's solemn tone, he immediately showed a look of shame, and hurriedly saluted the other side: "The general taught me that Yun Xuan has been taught." ”

After the old man put on his coat, he sat down on the stone bench beside the stone table steadily, and reached out to pour himself a cup of thirst-quenching tea, and while drinking, he stretched out his hand to the side and said, "Sit down." ”

Lan Yunxuan just wanted to say that the matter was urgent, where was he in the mood to delay, but when he saw the old man's insistent eyes, he was helpless, and he still sat down reluctantly.

After pouring another cup of tea for the godson opposite, the old man asked unhurriedly, "Tell me, what's going on." ”

Lan Yunxuan was still in the mood to drink tea at this time, so he just put the teacup handed over by the other party into his hand, and hurriedly said, "General, Dengyun went to Huangsha County!"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and after putting down the teacup, he immediately frowned.

The first time I knew about this little prince, it was because of the disaster in Majia Village, this matter, in the final analysis, the Youzhou army had suffered first, and it was a coincidence, the local garrison captain was one of his nephews in the Pei family, both public and private, he wanted to deal with it well, and it was best to turn big things into small things, so he sent this godson Lan Yunxuan to hurry over, one is to apologize, and the other is to probe the wind, if the other party wants to ask for guilt, this side has to suffer.

Fortunately, the matter was resolved smoothly after that, after Lan Yunxuan came back, he told him the whole thing, and deliberately mentioned that although the little prince was really injured, it is estimated that the motive is not very pure, plus it is guessed that he is an unlucky guy who was kicked out by the magnates of the capital, General Zuo does not want to wade into this troubled water, after all, in his opinion, it is his greatest responsibility to be able to guard the frontier for the imperial court and do his own job well, but in order to show the sincerity here, he still specially sent Lu Dengyun to escort.

The original intention was to think that if other people were calculated by this impure-minded little prince, they might want to say, although this Lu Dengyun was a little straightforward, but at least he was not stupid, and he was obedient enough, so he asked him to escort him over, and nothing happened after that, everyone became neighbors and had nothing to do with each other, I thought that this matter would pass like this, but I didn't expect to be entangled now.

"Dengyun, this kid, alas, forget it, forget it, when people grow up, it's always wrong to have some of their own ideas, let's wait for him to come back. ”

The old man actually saw it very openly, and he thought very clearly, it was nothing more than that the little prince who was kicked out of the game was unwilling and wanted to borrow the strength of the border army, all he could do was to pretend to be stupid.

And then again, the eldest lady of the Xu family married far away to the capital as an imperial concubine, and gave birth to a boy for His Majesty, in other words, whether they want to or not, they are already involved in this kind of imperial power dispute anyway, what can they do?

Wait and see what happens, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to participate, His Majesty the Emperor can't kill him, an old man who has worked hard, there is no such unreasonable thing in the world.

However, Lan Yunxuan, who joined the army on the other side, said very eagerly: "If it was such a simple matter, I wouldn't be in a hurry, general, don't you know, as soon as this kid leaves Huangsha County, he will go directly to the post station!"

"Post station?" The old man was a little puzzled, turned sideways, and looked at the expression of his godson opposite, he knew that there must be a secret in this that he didn't know, and at that moment he stepped on his feet, supported his knees with both hands, and sat on the ground with a golden sword, the momentum that he had cultivated for decades of training in the army suddenly rose, slapped the table, and asked Lan Yunxuan on the opposite side, "What else do you know?"

Being drunk by him so suddenly, Lan Yunxuan, who was the chief of the Tiger Ben Army, was also taken aback, seeing that General Pei Lao seemed to be really angry, where did he dare to slack off, and he didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he quickly told all the things about the edicts and materials from the capital that were seized from the capital at the post station.

He has served under the old man for many years, although he only joins the army, but he has the right to do it only General Zuo, of course, he also has his own set of special intelligence means, plus the old man is not only General Zuo, but also grew up in Youzhou since he was a child, and he can also use the power of the Pei family in Youzhou, and he has been here longer than Xu Jintang, how can he not have any control over Youzhou, so what the General's Mansion did, in fact, he Lan Yunxuan already knew, but because of some selfishness, he has not reported it to the old general.

After listening to the anger and shock in his heart, the old man slammed the stone table again, until the teacups on the table shook, and he rebuked angrily: "It's just nonsense! The imperial court decreed that he dared to detain him? What did he want to do? Rebel?"

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly thought of the topic that he had talked about with the old general Xu Qianzhong, and suddenly a deep worry surged in his heart, he didn't know what Xu Jintang wanted to do, but this incident made him feel an ominous precursor, this feeling of mountain rain coming and the wind full of buildings, he didn't like it, because he didn't want the old general's hard work to be ruined.

It's a pity that Xu Qianzhong has already gone to the immortal, who can he talk to?

Lan Yunxuan himself also knew that he was at a loss, so he hurriedly got up and comforted: "The general is angry, the general is angry." ”

The old man is not a person who has been in the border army for most of his life, even if he is from a scholarly family, even if he has been recuperating for so many years, but as soon as this violent temper came up, he still couldn't help but scolded Lan Yunxuan unceremoniously: "Fuck, what kind of anger is Lao Tzu? Such a big thing, didn't there be any rumors before? You kid, don't say you don't know! You little rabbit cub, now your wings are hard, you dare not even tell Lao Tzu about this kind of thing first?"

Facing the anger of the old general, Lan Yunxuan could only bow down, wiping his sweat while smiling bitterly and begging for mercy.

The border army is such a magical place, it can transform the weak scholar who was born in the Pei family's main line and has been influenced by poetry and calligraphy since he was a child, into a ruffian who is full of swear words all day long, and even wants to fight if he disagrees, and can also turn the hooligan who was originally born in the market, and only blackmails and oppresses ordinary people on the street, into a warrior who can fight for the glory of his family and country.

"General, the General's Mansion informed us of this matter in advance, but you happened to go back to the Pei family to worship your ancestors at that time, so you didn't have time to tell you, and then you were busy, and you forgot about it when you were busy. ”

How dare he say that it was because he was afraid that the old general would do something out of the ordinary after he found out, so he dared to suppress it and not report it.

When the old man heard this, he just glanced lightly at Lan Yunxuan, who had a respectful expression on the other side, and suddenly spewed out two air currents from his nose, and sneered at him: "Are you old and confused, and your head is not bright? Lao Tzu can tell you that even if Lao Tzu goes to the capital to participate in the imperial examination now, he is better than Bai Ding, who can even fail the township examination like you! At your level, you still want to deceive Lao Tzu? Go back and study for another ten years is not qualified!"

Lan Yunxuan could only silently continue to wipe the sweat on his head, and then nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice: "What you teach, what you teach." ”

On the other side, but the father-in-law who came up with one hand, no matter what the old man scolded, he had to accept it respectfully, and there would never be the slightest resentment in his heart, not to mention that this matter was originally his mistake first, and now he came to the old man when something happened, which was somewhat reasonable.

The old man saw that his attitude of admitting his mistakes was not bad, and after scolding for so long, he finally almost dissipated the anger in his heart, and snorted lightly at the moment, and then asked coldly: "Say, what is the reason given by the Xu family boy!"
