Pei Yungui didn't speak again, and Gu Rin also remained silent.

It wasn't early, neither of them had breakfast, and they were already getting a little hungry.

Pei Yungui buried the thoughts that came out of his stuffy head back to the bottom of his heart, moved his wrist, and then went into the kitchen to the reality zone, and Gu Rin followed behind.

During this period of cooking, Pei Yungui has always been in charge, and Gu Rin has made a fire.

There is no one in her house, and she has to do everything herself, since Gu Rin wants to eat, she should be caught by her.

General Gu has no opinion on the matter of lighting a fire, he has stayed in the barracks for a long time, and he has already developed a decisive temperament, and he is happy to respond, and his life is half a month.

The two of them have long been the norm to cook together, and there is a lot of harmony in the kitchen.

With his assistance, Pei Yungui cooked much faster.

Most of the breakfast was done hastily to fill his stomach, so Pei Yungui only cooked some noodles bought in the market a few days ago, cut some meat, and beat two eggs.

When the noodles came out of the pot, some oil was poured on them, and the fragrance of the noodles instantly overflowed the kitchen, filling the entire house.

The two of them neatly arranged the dishes and chopsticks, and sat down at the dinner table under the pear tree in the courtyard.

It is said that eating and sleeping are the two most relaxing times of the day.

Pei Yungui stared at Gu Rin's face, and at the same time pondered whether to introduce the topic to her purpose today.

She took a sip of the soup, her thin white fingers tapped lightly on the table, and only after the warm and sweet juice slipped into her throat did she ask, "Did the general enter the palace last night?" ”

Gu Rin's hand holding the bowl paused, his eyes swept over Pei Yungui like a dragonfly, and a dark color flashed in his eyes, so fast that people couldn't catch the shadow.

"How do you know?"

Pei Yungui took a sip of soup indifferently, and talked about last night's events as if he was talking about family life.

"When I was about to go to bed last night, I happened to hear the noise of carriages and horses outside the general's mansion, so I got up to investigate, and happened to see the general riding to the palace."

"So I dared to guess that there was something urgent in the palace, and the emperor temporarily summoned the general to discuss."

Gu Rin drank the noodle soup and put things on the table.

"Miss Pei is smart, you can guess this," he raised his eyes and said inadvertently: "Then guess what, the emperor summoned me this time, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Pei Yungui was vigilant for no reason in his heart.

Since Gu Rin took the initiative to mention it, she had the intention of letting her retreat from the difficulty, and the safest way was to pretend to be stupid, the matter that the emperor summoned late at night to discuss must be confidential and sensitive, and it is not something she can participate in.

But she wanted to go to You County with her, and opened the topic again, and she was bound to tell the "guess" truthfully.

Pei Yungui pretended to hesitate for a moment before he said, "I guess the emperor summoned the general into the palace, and the discussion should be about Youxian?" ”

Gu Rin glanced at her deeply, and the smile in her eyes deepened, "The girl is really like a god." ”

Pei Yungui was afraid that Gu Rin would think that she had some unpredictable prophetic ability, and added: "The source of the rebel party last time was related to You County, the little girl didn't know about political affairs, and all she learned about the capital was You County, so she dared to guess, but it was just a mistake." ”

As she spoke, she raised her eyes to peek at Gu Rin's face, and saw that the other party was eating noodles as usual, and she was even more confused in her heart, and she couldn't guess Gu Rin's thoughts.

Instead of worrying about Pei Yungui's difficulties, Gu Rin uncharacteristically truthfully told everything that happened last night.

"There was a sudden epidemic in Youxian County, and the rebel party was in turmoil, and the emperor summoned us yesterday to discuss the solution. In the past few days, the army has been rearing up its rations, and it is presumably necessary to set off soon. ”

Pei Yungui showed a look of surprise just right, "Listen to what the general said, you also want to go to the affairs of You County?" ”

Gu Rin nodded.

Pei Yungui's eyes widened immediately, and he made a look of embarrassment.

"General, don't forget, there is still 'Wangmei' on the little girl, you go, I don't know if the Year of the Monkey will come back, after I am poisoned, who should I find to get the medicine?"

Pei Yungui didn't know if it was reliable to use poison as an excuse to get a way to go together, but now there was no other way, and the only thing he had to do with Gu Rin was the poison he put on her at the beginning, but if Gu Rin wanted to refuse, he could hand over the antidote to others who stayed in the capital, or he could directly cut off Pei Yungui's medicine.

However, after many contacts with him, Pei Yungui roughly understood Gu Rin's temperament.

He is paranoid and suspicious, and there are almost no other people in Beijing who he trusts except Cheng Ke.

Gu Rin led the troops out of Beijing, Cheng Ke, as a deputy general, would indeed be left behind in the capital, but he was straightforward and heroic, and he was worried about the life of his mother-in-law, most of whom did not know much about the dirty and shady methods under Gu Rin's hands, and "Wangmei" was so evil and poisonous, naturally it was not among Cheng Ke's knowledge.

So the poison, Gu Rin either took it with him, or continued to lock it in the study.

Pei Yungui naturally couldn't enter Gu Rin's study, and if he wanted to suppress the poison, he could only follow Gu Rin to You County.

If you are afraid, Gu Rin directly cut off her medicine.

With his poisonous scorpion heart that cares about human life, Pei Yungui believes that he has done such a thing.

Gu Rin asked rhetorically, "What do you think Miss Pei thinks?" ”

Pei Yungui didn't expect Gu Rin to hand over the answer to himself, and after thinking about it for a while, he still felt that it was not impossible to take the risk of directly expressing his needs and taking a gamble.

"I'm going with you to Youxian." She looked at Gu Rin, trying to make her gaze burn.

After saying these words, my heart beat like thunder, one after another, ringing in my ears.

Her purpose was too obvious, and Gu Rin was probably not difficult to see.

She is just a female relative in Beijing who has not left the cabinet, and it stands to reason that she should not ask more about political affairs, and she was suspected by Gu Rin some time ago.

But on the trip to You County, she had to follow him no matter what, one for the task, and the other for the purpose of seeking the truth about the death of her parents.

It's better to be able to walk with Gu Rin, even if you can't go with him, Pei Yungui has to go alone.

When talking, a bowl of noodles had already been eaten, Gu Rin put the chopsticks away, and said after a while: "What are you going to do with me in You County, that place is adjacent to the Western Regions, reckless and green, yellow sand is long, Miss Pei is full of fine skin and tender meat, I'm afraid that before she arrives, she should be cut by the sand on the road." ”

"The little girl's parents died in You County eleven years ago," Speaking of her parents, Pei Yungui's face had some sincerity and a faint sadness, "I am now trapped alone in the capital, like a bird in a golden cage, I can't get out, if I want to investigate the cause of my father's death, if I don't seize this opportunity to go out of Beijing, I'm afraid that in the future, there will be no suitable time." ”

Gu Rin narrowed his eyes, his eyes were as indifferent as a puddle of hazy cold water, and there was no emotion between his eyebrows.

"Let's talk about it."

After a long time, he replied lightly.

He got up and took the dishes in, and took his leave, citing official duties.

Pei Yungui's heart suddenly cooled, but he had to sigh helplessly.

He asked her to look at it again, which meant refusal.

Gu Rin's path didn't work, and he had to find another way.

Pei Yungui cleaned up the kitchen, and then went to the street with two bags of broken silver, thinking about purchasing some supplies.

Since you have to travel thousands of miles alone, you have to prepare in advance.

The morning market has been open for a while, and the streets are already full of traffic and pedestrians.

You County is more than 2,000 miles away from the capital, and the bustling Kyoto is different, You County is close to the dusty Western Regions, is the first pass of Yi Di into the Great Qi, it is a succession of foreign regions, its market town personnel are mixed, can be imagined.

The closer you get to the border, the more likely it is to cause turmoil.

Therefore, the first type of items that Pei Yungui bought on the street were self-defense equipment.

Pei Yun returned to a well-known blacksmith shop, and picked a long whip, a dagger, and an Emei thorn among the dazzling swords.

The long whip is suitable for long-range attacks, and the whip head is covered with a sharp blade to prevent thieves from getting close.

The two hooligans I met late at night last time taught Pei Yungui a very profound lesson, in the disparity between men and women and the power of the body, all external forces and skills are in vain, if you really encounter danger, open the distance between you and the gangsters, and running away is the king.

Among the weapons, the long whip that can attack from a distance is the most useful.

It's just that Pei Yungui doesn't know how to use a whip, and if he encounters a strong enemy, the weapon in his hand is likely to be taken away by the other party, so he prepared two weapons for himself in close defense in case of emergency.

After buying the weapons in hand, Pei Yungui went to the rice grain store and ordered some flour so that it could be branded into dry food on the road to the army.

After all the things were completed, it was already noon, and the sun was getting hotter, so Pei Yungui hurried back to his house.

Gu Rin was in the future at noon, and Pei Yungui had a late breakfast, so he dealt with things casually at noon.

When he woke up from his sleep, he heard a knock at the door outside the courtyard.

Pei Yungui was blindfolded, hurriedly pulled a bun, and went to open the door with his dizzy head.

Even if it is a rough face with a dense beard.

The distance was too close, which really caused some impact on Pei Yungui, and as a result, he woke up more than half of his sleepiness.

Let's ask who is in Kyoto's ten miles and eight towns with a lush beard like grass and is pleasing to the people, it is bound to be Shuiyun Street, and there is no doubt about General Gu's mansion.

Pei Yungui yawned, turned sideways to make way for Cheng Ke to let him in, and asked, "Uncle Cheng, what are you looking for me?" ”

Cheng Ke waved his hand, his huge body stood at the door, and his rough voice sounded in the alley of the bluestone slab, "I will go to the training in a while, I won't bother Miss Pei, and I will bother in the afternoon, just to bring a message to the general." ”

Pei Yun replied: "What words, can you say it?" ”

Intuition told her that this must be related to the trip to You County, so Pei Yungui immediately pricked up her ears.

"The general said that he allowed the girl to accompany him, but hoped that the girl would stay in the carriage in peace all the way, and not cause trouble for him."

Pei Yungui plucked out his ears, squinted his eyes, and thought that he had heard it wrong, so he didn't believe it until Cheng Ke repeated it.

She forcibly covered the look of joy between her eyebrows and eyes, as if another big stone had quietly landed in her heart, and then heard Cheng Ke say: "The general is preparing troops and preparing food today, and the allocation of the household department will come down tomorrow, if there is no accident, you can set off the day after tomorrow, and please Miss Pei pack her bags these days, wait at home the day after tomorrow, don't go out of the house, when the time comes, the general will send someone to pick up Miss." ”

"I know, thanks to the general's love, Yun Gui will be safe and disciplined, and don't cause any trouble." Pei Yungui's mood instantly mentioned the nine clouds, which is pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that the words were conveyed, Cheng Ke resigned.

Pei Yungui thanked him and sent him away, before turning around and returning to the courtyard, humming a song happily.

In the morning, she thought that something that was not coming to the end was turned over so quickly against the wind, how could she not be surprised.

First of all, no matter what kind of medicine Gu Rin sells in the gourd, at least it is delivered, thousands of miles of detention and travel, being able to travel with the army, not only is the safety guaranteed, but the journey should also be faster.

For the first time, if Pei Yun returned to the door alone, he couldn't help but feel worried, but fortunately, the problem had been solved, so he didn't have to do it anymore.

In the next two days, Pei Yungui put away his bags with peace of mind, and cleaned the house up and down again, waiting for Gu Rin's report.

The third day was night.

Pei Yungui didn't fall asleep, sat by the window and carefully counted the things to be carried, and then heard a knock on the door.

Pei Yungui knew that someone from Gu Rin's faction must have come.

She turned off the lights, closed the doors and windows, picked up her bags and walked outside.

It was Eleven who came to pick her up, and the two were already old acquaintances, Pei Yungui greeted him, and then followed him out of the door.

Two carriages were parked in front of the Gu Mansion, and the little maids on duty stood on both sides of the road, and the bright yellow firelight reflected the late night as bright as the day.

Pei Yun accepted Eleven's instructions and got into the carriage in front.

The carriage is elegantly furnished, with a light green carpet under it, and several seats inside, pastries and teapots are placed on the top, and there are soft couches on the seats, and books and other objects are placed next to the couch.

Although Gu Rin is a military general, he will not treat himself harshly in terms of food and clothing.

This journey should not be a journey, and the boat and car will be laborious.
