The reason why the Cui family supported the Northern Expedition was originally to divert the tiger from the mountain and let him leave Jiankang far away.

He is gone, and the Cui family not only controls the court, but also coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

What a calculation!

"Now it seems that the spy who colluded with Yuan Cheng is undoubtedly the Cui family." Pei Daozhu analyzed, "Cui Shen and Yuan Cheng formed an alliance and sandwiched you in the middle, and the enemy was attacked on your back, what should I do?" ”

Xiao Heng stared at the lake.

There are swimming fish hidden at the bottom of the water, and the ripples on the surface of the water are shallow, and the occasional falling petals float on it, adding a bit of clarity and tranquility.

After a long silence, Xiao Heng suddenly raised his lips and smiled: "Pei Ananda, is it okay to be my lobbyist?" ”

Pei Daozhu was puzzled: "Lobbyist? ”

"Persuade the great tribes of the north on my behalf to surrender to me. The north and south are divided by the Yangtze River, and the scholars I need in the areas along the river are all used by me to resist the southward movement of Yuan Cheng's army for me. As for Jiankang......" Xiao Heng raised his eyes, and a terrifying edge flashed in his phoenix eyes, "I will personally go to Bashu and mobilize the army over there to go straight to Jiankang." ”

Pei Daozhu raised his eyebrows and pondered.

It is not a bad strategy to be attacked by the enemy on the back and reject it.

"It's just ......," she whispered, "how can you leave it to me if you don't let your henchmen do it?" If I don't succeed, those warriors will not help you, and Yuan Cheng's army will directly take Jiankang, and your life will hang by a thread. ”

The float on the surface of the water flickered for a moment.

Xiao Heng tentatively reeled in the fishing line, and his tone was quite careless: "In terms of eloquence, which staff member under my command is comparable to you-hey, I caught a big fish!" ”

A carp leaps out of the water, bringing out a beautiful string of water droplets in the sun.

Xiao Heng took the carp and proudly raised it towards Pei Daozhu: "There is fresh fish soup to eat in the evening." ”

Pei Daozhu sat next to him, holding his cheeks with his hands expressionless: "I'm just a woman, such a big thing, if I am not careful, I will lose everything, I can't afford this responsibility——"

"If it happens, when the Cui family is copied, I will give you all the gold and jewelry shells in Cui Shen's private treasury."

Bae Daozhu: "......"

This thief is too calculating!

The Cui family is a big family, and Cui Shen doesn't know how many treasures he has hidden.

She thought, Danfeng's eyes were shining, and she immediately stretched out her slender tail finger: "Hook? ”

"Childish."

Xiao Heng sneered.

He sneered, but he still obediently stretched out his little finger and hooked Pei Daozhu's position: "A word is a certainty." ”

When he walked back, Pei Daozhu asked while calculating: "The northern scholars are not good at stubble, and they will not do business without profits." I ask you, if they ask for an advantage, what shall I give to them? ”

Xiao Heng said: "You can agree to all the conditions they offered." ”

"All?"

"All."

……

It's early summer.

Xiao Heng took a team of soldiers and horses and quietly went to Bashu.

And Xihai City is still full of flags, as if the boss is still in this city.

Pei Daozhu left Liu to guard Xihai City, and then took Xie Lin to lobby the northern clans.

Half a month later, the two of them appeared outside Longshou City in the dust.

Xie Lin introduced: "Among this group of big clans, especially the Li clan of Longxi is the leader. They moved to Dragonhead City decades ago to settle down, and if we only need to convince them, we will be able to convince the other clans. Sister Pei knows the first border city I defended after joining the army, right? It is the Dragon Head City. ”

Bae Daozhu raised his head.

After staring at the plaque at the gate for a moment, she said, "Go see them." ”

Too shou mansion, partial hall.

Pei Daozhu and Xie Lin sat for half an hour before the sound of footsteps finally came from outside the porch.

Soon, a plump middle-aged woman stepped into the threshold with a smile: "It's not good for us to make your guests wait for a long time." Yo, this is the wife of Xiao Jungong, right? I have heard for a long time that Mrs. has fallen into the country and the city, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name. ”

Bae Daozhu got up.

The woman in front of her was dressed expensively and finely, probably Li Taishou's wife.

When she came this time, she handed over Xiao Heng's name post, but Mrs. Li didn't see her, but his wife came forward to meet her......

That's intriguing.

Pei Daozhu smiled: "Madame is too famous." Is this Ling Yuan? My Fair Lady, beautiful and delicious, is liked. ”

Xie Lin had only noticed the middle-aged woman, but when he heard that there was another girl, he couldn't help but look at it curiously.

The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was born with a slender body, like a bell flower with pure white and clean branches.

When he saw him looking over, he immediately turned his head away.

Mrs. Li motioned for them to sit down, picked up a cup of tea casually, and said straight to the point: "I know why the duchess of the county came this time, but the husband is entangled in business, and he went to the military camp outside the city two days ago, I'm afraid it is inconvenient to meet guests." If the lady is not too troublesome, it is better to stay in the house for a few days, and wait for the husband to come back, and then discuss it in detail. ”

Pei Daozhu stroked the tea lid.

It seems to be a polite remark, but it euphemistically reveals a refusal.

She lowered her long eyelashes like a crow's feather and said softly: "Before me, Cui Shen had already sent a lobbyist and reached an agreement with Li Taishou, right?" If I'm not mistaken, he classified my husband as a courtier, and he wants you to stay still, isn't he? ”

Mrs. Li was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a while.

The girl in front of her seemed to be young, she thought it was just a vase, but she didn't expect it to be able to say it.

Pei Daozhu raised his delicate face, and when he smiled, he was bright and incomprehensible: "My husband can find another way to solve the dilemma in front of him, but Mrs. and Ling Yuan, what should I do in the future?" ”

Mrs. Li was a little uncomfortable, put down the teacup, and asked, "What do these family and country affairs have to do with our mother and daughter?" I don't understand you! ”

"Cui Shen is now coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he colludes with Yuan Cheng in private, and sooner or later he will offer Yuan Cheng the territory of Jiangnan. For example, the only person who can stop this today is my husband. If the lady does not help him, the villain will succeed in the future, and the world will become a world of foreign races. ”

Pei Daozhu spoke softly while observing Mrs. Li's face.

Seeing that she was not shocked, she guessed that she already knew about Cui Shen's collusion with Yuan Cheng.

Although the northern clan does not live in Jiankang, who has not arranged a few spies in the capital, coupled with the family's hundreds of years of heritage, the power is not even worse than the Cui Xiao family, and they are still very well-informed about inside information.

Pei Daozhu continued: "Madame's family is watching coldly, which is tantamount to aiding and abusive, I don't know how Qingshi will write this paragraph in the future?" Miss Li is young, and she doesn't know what kind of family she should marry in the future with such a crime? Serious people must not marry, do they want to marry a foreigner? Madame must know that a woman of a different race, after the death of her husband, is going to marry his brother and son, how can Miss Li endure this kind of humiliation? ”

Mrs. Lee's mouth is dry.

It was clear that she was only facing a little girl who had just married, but she felt a lot of pressure.

She even felt that what Pei Daozhu said was very reasonable.
