Di Qing saw that the sergeants in the courtyard had all gone out, and since he returned to the house, he said to Ye Pei: "I don't know how the county lord offended the queen mother, if you want to leave the palace at this time, you can only go out with me by pretending to be a personal guard." ”

Ye Pei smiled: "I know that Second Brother Di has his own way, let's talk and go." ”

Di Qing took out a new set of clothes for the guards in front of the palace, asked Ye Pei to change into them, and the two of them went out to the front province.

Di Qing is the commander of the army in front of the palace, subordinate to the command envoy, only under the emperor's orders, holding a crane control token, naturally no one dares to ask and stop him, unlike Ye Pei sneaking out of the palace.

They took out two fast horses from the stables of the army in front of the palace, and they rode out of the city.

In a blink of an eye, you can go out of Donghua Gate, and then go out of the city through Wangchun Gate in the outer city. Seeing a dense forest and sparsely populated, Ye Pei and Di Qing walked slowly.

"Lord Le'an, I didn't expect to meet you today." Di Qing said with a sigh.

Ye Pei said: "Second Brother Di, if you want to call me the county lord again, I will ignore you." ”

Di Qing smiled innocently: "Sister of the Ye family." ”

Ye Pei also smiled, "Hey, Second Brother Di." Ye Pei asked again: "Second Brother Di, how did you become the commander of the palace army?" Didn't you go to Yanzhou at that time? ”

Di Qing said: "Yes, with the beast head armor and blade you gave me, the momentum is like a bamboo, and I have won a few tough battles." ”

Ye Pei listened and said excitedly: "General Mian Ni broke the Western Xia army, and threw three hundred copper coins all with Tongbao characters facing up, and the soldiers thought it was divine help, and you killed Li Shougui before the battle and attacked Liangzhou City." ”

Di Qing asked in surprise: "I didn't think you knew everything?" ”

Ye Pei said with a smile: "I naturally know General Mian Ni's achievements, and the people of Bianliang City probably know about it.

It's just that I didn't know that this general Nirvana turned out to be you, Second Brother Di. By the way, Second Brother Di, how did you change your name to Di Qing? ”

"I fought well in Yanzhou, and I met a noble man named Fan Zhongyan, who not only did not dislike me for having a gold seal on my face, but also taught me to read a lot of military books, helped me change my name, and let me know a lot of truths."

"Oh, Fan Xiwen, I also know that person, he was born poor but very learned, and he takes the world as his own responsibility. Because he offended the queen mother, he was demoted, built a school in the local area, repaired water conservancy, and wrote the famous sentence of "the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world", which is very political.

Although he is a civilian official, he can lead troops to fight and has quite a lot of military achievements. Ye Pei said endlessly.

Di Qing said: "Yes, this time I returned to Beijing with Fan Gong, he has entered the secret pavilion, and he will worship Tongping Zhangshi in the future." ”

Di Qing looked at Ye Pei and said, "At that time, I said that the Ye family's sister was not an ordinary child, and when I saw it today, it really did what I said." ”

"Second Brother Di doesn't believe me, I'm really an orphan. It's just that my aunt is the concubine of the Eight Great Princes, and she grew up with Jinshang when she was a child, and she is also counted as a cousin.

After I returned to Bianliang City, I met my aunt by chance, and she took me back to the Eight Princes' Mansion, and met Jinshang again, so I had to enter the palace. Ye Pei told his experience.

Di Qing said: "I see, no wonder I see you so close to the official family." ”

Ye Pei asked, "Second Brother Di has already seen me in the palace?" ”

"Yes, after I returned to Beijing, I was appointed as the commander of the pro-army capital in front of the palace, and I patrolled every day, so I naturally had the opportunity to recognize you, my sister."

"Then why don't you recognize me?"

Di Qing smiled helplessly: "If you are still the daughter of the dart bureau, I will naturally recognize you, but now that you are the county lord and I am the guard, what can I do?" ”

Di Qing continued with a lonely expression: "At the end of last year, the first thing I did when I returned to Beijing was to go to the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau to find you, you know, everything I have done in the past three years is for you, for the fate you said is in your own hands, I want to win the battle, I want to get ahead as a general, I want to go back to the capital to see you in style."

However, what about being a general of Hujie, what about being a commander, you still can't resist the tricks of fate, you have already left the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau and gone to the sky that I can no longer reach. ”

Ye Pei said: "Didn't you still let me see Second Brother Di today?" ”

Di Qing shook his head and said, "It's a pity that everything is different!" ”

Ye Pei felt

Di Qing was in a strange mood, but he could only comfort him and said: "Second Brother Di, don't be discouraged, everything is still the way it was, you are still my Second Brother Di, and I am still your sister of the Ye family."

How about we marry as brothers and sisters with different surnames? I hope my brother will always be by Pei'er's side. ”

Di Qing's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light: "I don't dare to climb high." ”

Ye Pei said: "If Second Brother Di says so, then he looks down on me Ye Pei." I am already the loneliest person in heaven and earth, with no parents, no brothers and sisters beside me, and I am really the most pitiful and lonely person in the world. ”

Di Qing said seriously: "If my sister doesn't dislike it, then I, Di Qing, will always stay by my sister's side, protect you, and guard you!" ”

Ye Pei jumped off the horse, Di Qing followed, and both knelt down under a big tree, each picking up a branch and holding it in his hand.

Ye Pei said: "The emperor is above, the thick earth is below, I, Ye Pei, today and Di Qing worship as brothers and sisters with different surnames, blessed and enjoy the same hardships, with this branch as respect, respect heaven and earth, worship gods and ghosts, heaven and earth gods and ghosts together." ”

Di Qing said: "The emperor is above, the thick soil is below, I Di Qing, today and Ye Pei worship as brothers and sisters with different surnames, blessed and enjoy the same difficulties, with this branch as respect, respect heaven and earth, worship gods and ghosts, heaven and earth gods and ghosts together." ”

Di Qing and Ye Pei worshipped heaven and earth, and kowtowed to each other again.

Ye Pei grabbed Di Qing's hands, "Brother Di Qing!" ”

Di Qing held Ye Pei and shouted, "Good girl! ”

The two got on their horses again and turned all the way south.

On the way, Ye Pei said: "I went out of the city today because the official family sent me to Qingcheng Yujin Garden to inquire about some things, and I am afraid that some people will be unfavorable to the official family." Would my brother like to go with me? ”

"Since we are out of the palace together, I naturally want to protect my sister when she arrives at her destination and then go back with you."

Di Qing also said: "Although the official family is young, they have made a lot of achievements since they ascended the throne and often pay attention to people's livelihood. He is not arrogant, and he is very polite and caring to our subordinates. If someone wants to be detrimental to the official family, we, the guards of the court, will not stand by. ”

Ye Pei said: "That's great! The sixth brother is really a good emperor. I watched him be so diligent and attentive beside him, and he never slacked off for a day. But when he first ascended to the throne, the political situation and people's hearts were unstable, and many things did not follow his wishes. ”

Di Qing smiled: "I thought that my sister, as the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother, would definitely speak well for the Queen Mother, but she still favored the official family!" ”

"I also hope that their mother and son are well."

Ye Pei whipped the horse's buttocks, and the horse neighed and ran out.

The two rode their horses and galloped all the way for more than an hour, and in a blink of an eye they arrived outside Qingcheng Yujin Garden.

The two of them rode close to Yujin Garden, and they found a high slope and observed it carefully.

Yujin Garden is a sacrificial, royal tour of the palace, the people can not live within five miles, there are few people on weekdays, there are no dense trees within three miles, I am afraid that someone will assassinate the emperor.

This is not the day when the emperor comes, only a few guards are stationed here, Ye Pei and Di Qing have gone around a few times outside Yujin Garden and have not found any clues.

Ye Pei was puzzled, frowning and thinking, "I don't know what Brother Xiao means by the abnormality?" If it was a trivial matter, he would never have asked me to bring a letter to the official. ”

"Why don't we tie our horses here and take a closer look?" Di Qing proposed.

"It's fine." Ye Pei nodded and said.

The two of them began to work lightly, slowly approaching the palace wall of Yujin Garden.

"Wait, girl!" Di Qing suddenly discovered something and called out to Ye Pei.

"What?" Ye Pei saw Di Qing looking at the soil under his feet and was stunned, so he also followed.

Ye Pei didn't see anything unusual, but Di Qing said: "You see that this place is empty on the surface, but there are holes on the ground after the march and camping piles. ”

Ye Pei took a closer look, but there were many holes in the dirt of the clearing, although they were cleaned up, a closer look could find a lot of residual materials.

Ye Pei said: "Brother is really meticulous. ”

Di Qing said: "People who have been soldiers and fought are naturally sensitive to these things. If it's a girl, it's hard for you to find out. Looking at the number and distance of these holes, tens of thousands of soldiers have been stationed here! ”

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"What?! Tens of thousands of soldiers have been stationed outside Yujin Garden? Ye Pei asked in surprise.

"Depending on the situation, although they retreated neatly, they still left a lot of clues because they were in a hurry."

"Shall we follow these clues and see where they have retreated?" Ye Pei asked.

Di Qing suddenly pulled Ye Pei to hide behind a tree, pointed to the guards patrolling the city wall of Yujin Garden, and said, "Be careful of being seen by them." ”

Then Di Qing said: "With such a large number of troops transferred, it is difficult not to be discovered, today the time is urgent, we don't have to pursue it, besides, we are weak, we still go back to the palace at night to avoid startling the snake." Now it's important to know who they are in charge of and what they do. ”

Ye Pei nodded, and when the guards patrolling the city walked away, Di Qing and Ye Pei quickly moved to the dense forest on the hillside in the distance.

On the way, Di Qing picked up a tin plate, which was the mark on the sword hanging on the soldier when he went out on the expedition, and Di Qing showed it to Ye Pei.

"What is this?" Ye Pei looked at this tin plate, because she had no military experience, she still didn't know what it was.

"Dragon God Guard Quadrant Army!" Di Qing said categorically.

"Huh?" Ye Pei didn't know what Di Qing was referring to.

Di Qing said: "Didn't the girl be followed by Long Wei before she left the palace just now?" I guess it is the Empress Dowager's cronies who lead the troops here, and who has the ability to mobilize such a huge military force, and the Empress Dowager is Liu Mei in addition to Cao Yong. ”

Ye Pei said: "I can understand that the privy envoy Cao used it, and Cao used it to make a great contribution to overthrowing Ding Wei before. This Liu Mei? ”

"He is the person who was married before the Queen Mother. Originally known as Gong Mei, the Queen Mother later recognized her as her brother-in-law and changed her name to Liu Mei, and is currently the commander of the Longshenwei Quartet Army. ”

Di Qing explained: "Although the privy envoy Cao Yu is the largest sergeant commander, it is Liu Mei who is more trusted by the Queen Mother. ”

"That's what happened!" Ye Pei sighed.

Di Qing thought for a while and said: "There is another person, when I entered the palace, I heard the old guard say that there was once a dragon guard named Sikong Qi Du Yuhou, who was very capable and trusted by the Queen Mother. He is also a person whom the Queen Mother knew before entering the palace, but unfortunately that person has been away from Longwei for more than ten years, and his whereabouts are still unknown. ”

"It seems that the Queen Mother thinks that the people she knew in her early years are the most reliable."

Di Qing said: "Yes! Because the people I know outside the palace have no entanglement of interests, which is the most sincere feeling. ”

Ye Pei smiled: "Is it the same as me and my brother?" My brother is getting more and more talented in military affairs. Listening to my brother's analysis, it is more useful than reading books for ten years, and I can't imagine that you have grown so much without seeing you for three years. I really have to be a confidant to comfort the wind and dust! ”

Di Qing smiled shyly, "My sister teased me again, this is all the analytical ability that I learned when I was fighting on the front line." Girl, can you mention your whereabouts to anyone today? ”

Before Zhao Zhen reminded her not to reveal her whereabouts, Ye Pei was confident that this letter had not been seen by outsiders.

But at this time, Ye Pei's whereabouts were obviously known, and as soon as Di Qing asked, she remembered that it was Man Tingfang who said that she had picked up the letter and put it on the desk in the morning.

"Isn't the people around me reliable?" Ye Pei frowned and doubted.

"It's a big possibility."

Ye Pei went through the four people around him in his mind, and felt that they were all very good to him, how could he betray himself?

"If my brother says that the people around me are unreliable, please pay more attention to me in the future."

Di Qing said: "I will pay attention to this matter for my sister." ”

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and a bright leaf fell on Di Qing's head, and Ye Pei picked it for him.

Di Qing took a step back and said, "Sister, after returning to the palace, we still keep our distance, and don't let others know about our relationship." ”

Ye Pei was originally a casual person, and he was stunned at first when he heard Di Qing's words, and then immediately understood Di Qing's kindness, Di Qing was a rough person on the surface, but he thought a lot inside.

Ye Pei nodded, "I understand." ”

Ye Pei turned over and got on his horse and galloped all the way, Di Qing followed closely behind.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them returned to the palace before the sun set. Ye Pei changed back into his clothes and went to Funing Hall to reply first.
