The official office of the Jinyi Guard, or the same down-and-out appearance as always, has entered the night, except for a few old spies who watch the door, the rest of the Jinyi Guards have gone back to their respective homes, when the Jinyi Guard was still the Imperial Guard, all the internal affairs were according to the military practice, but Chengping over the years, the Jinyi Guard has also lost the duty of driving, and naturally it has become a loose appearance that is not much different from other official offices.

Beyond the gate and the layers of yamen, in the small courtyard behind the yamen of the Jinyi guard, there are a few cases under the flowers and trees, and there are several plates of fresh melons and fruits on the table, in addition to a plate of moon cakes, a white hand holds the wine jar of Kaifeng, and slowly pours the cup full.

Pei Xi, who usually doesn't drink a drop of wine, gently picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all.

Ji Gang, who had just walked into the courtyard, was a little surprised, and Master Pei seemed to be in high spirits tonight... But looking at his face, he didn't have the slightest smile, but was a little depressed.

He stood respectfully behind Pei Xi: "My lord." ”

Since he entered Jinyiwei, it has been a year, and one year is enough for him Ji Gang to see the entire Jinyiwei and the entire Jinling, but the more he gets the training of the person in front of him, the more he feels that his previous self is sitting in a well and watching the sky, a real big man... should be like the person in front of him, not the high-spirited power he imagined at the beginning.

Pei Xi said "um" softly, and continued to admire the moon, the sound of insects suddenly became louder, and the mixture of silence and noise made people a little flustered.

After a long time, Pei Xi poured himself another glass of wine: "You will leave Jinling tomorrow." ”

Ji Gang was stunned: "My lord has official duties assigned to a lowly position?" ”

"It seems that I didn't make it clear," Pei Xi took a sip of his wine glass: "Starting tomorrow, you leave Jinyiwei." ”

"Why?"

"Why? Because everything has just begun," Pei Xi smiled, smiling gracefully and gently, "After the battle of Baigou River, the twelve cities of Texas were broken one after another, and the Yan army besieged Jinan for three months, almost in one go, to say that it was impossible to say that there was no one in the middle of your secret spy department." ”

He put down his wine glass: "Gu Huai really gave me a big surprise... He is better suited than anyone else to take over the Jinyi Guard, but it is a pity that he chose a path that seems the most unlikely. ”

These words made Ji Gang's face change, he always thought that he was the person in front of him who had been trained to replace Jinyiwei... However, in his heart, he is not suitable?

An inexplicable emotion came up, and Ji Gang gritted his teeth: "My lord... What do you want to do? ”

"Li Jinglong returned to Beijing, and hundreds of officials were impeached, guess what the result is? His Majesty was kind, Li Jinglong's 800,000 army defeated King Yan miserably, and in the end, he was only removed from the post of rebel general, and he didn't even move the title, but Guo Ying, who was really determined, was also removed from his official position, and the punishment was heavier than Li Jinglong... As for Fang Huang and the others, they don't know anyone, they don't recommend properly, and they are unharmed, hahaha, hahaha..."

Probably drunkenness, Pei Xi's words were much more than usual, he smiled heartily, but there was not the slightest smile in his eyes: "Your Majesty is indecisive and tolerates adultery, it's really pitiful... It's hateful again. ”

Ji Gang was shocked and shocked: "My lord, you drank too much." ”

Pei Xi flicked his sleeves and glanced at him: "I'm not drunk, there are only you and me here, facing you, a spy under King Yan, the inner room of Jinyiwei, can't I still say a few words in my heart?" ”

"What the Lord just said was to let the lowly leave the Jinyi Guard..."

"Because Jinyiwei is going out of the mountain," Pei Xi stroked his wine glass, "Although Your Majesty didn't pursue Li Jinglong too much, and didn't ask Fang Huang Zhiyi and the like, this defeat finally made Your Majesty see something clearly... From today onwards, Jinyiwei is your secret spy division and the twenty-four solar terms... Mortal enemy. ”

Ji Gang was really frightened at this moment, how many years Pei Xi had waited for this opportunity, how deep his obsession with Jinyiwei's resurrection, he knew, and how terrible Jinyiwei was, and how much information he had about the secret spy department, just because Pei Xi and Gu Huai's inexplicable relationship didn't make a move, he also knew that if Pei Xi wanted to turn his face... Doesn't it mean that the spies of the secret spy department will die in Jinling next?

There are also those dark lines buried in the palace and in the court...

Probably seeing his panic, Pei Xi flicked his sleeves and walked to a flower tree, where the sound of insects immediately stopped.

Ji Gang followed behind him in a daze, not daring to ask any more.

Pei Xi put his hands behind his back and looked at the bright moon quietly: "Go and tell Gu Huai that there are some things before that I can treat as if I don't know, but from today onwards, I won't show mercy anymore." ”

"On both sides of the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, there are His Majesty and King Yan, and this chessboard of Jinyiwei and the Secret Spy Division is mine and his, if he loses completely, I will give him a decent way to die."

"If he wins..."Pei Xi's eyes flashed, but he still stopped talking.

The world is in turmoil, the north and the south are fighting, it took a lot of time for him to wait for the current situation, although King Yan has won a few games in a row, but compared to the huge empire of the Ming Dynasty, his strength is still very weak, Li Jinglong, the stupid pig, has been dismissed, His Majesty has finally attached importance to the control of the court and the people, Jinyiwei is back out of the mountain, Zhu Di will not take advantage of it anymore, he... It's impossible to lose.

However, a suitable heir is very necessary, and it may not be bad to let Gu Huai's self-destructive appearance enter Jinyiwei when the time comes?

……

Fifty miles outside Jinling City, there is a Qixia Mountain, since ancient times it is a good place to enjoy the autumn maple leaves, there is the Qixia Essence House built in the Southern Dynasty on the mountain, every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the dignitaries and nobles in Jinling City always like to come here to live for a few days, take a look at the autumn scenery of the maple forest road all over the mountains.

And at the foot of the south of Qixia Mountain, there is a self-sufficient small village relying on Qixia Mountain, there are not many people living in the village, and most of the houses are far apart, occasionally crossing the mountain forest, you can see the cooking smoke that is swaying up, under the falling leaves in the autumn sky, it has a bit of the charm of ancient paintings.

In front of a remote hut, a young man who was repairing the fence tied a coarse cloth rope into a dead knot, then straightened the fence, stood up, let out a long sigh, and looked back at the vegetable garden that had been sown, with a sincere smile on his face.

But the smile quickly froze, because he saw a figure walking on the mountain road after the rain.

The maple leaves fell to the ground, the autumn breeze rose slightly, and the man in a green shirt stopped, looked at the three peaks of Qixia among the clouds outside the fence, looked back at the small courtyard in front of the thatched house, and walked in: "If I hadn't seen your appearance before, I would have thought I was wrong." ”

Dong Liangcai was silent for a moment, patted the dirt on his hands, and smiled: "I thought it would be earlier." ”

"It doesn't seem too late now, it will be this situation sooner or later anyway," Gu Huai glanced at the newly turned vegetable patch, "I heard that you also opened two fields?" ”

"If you have nothing to do, you can cultivate yourself and cultivate your temperament by planting fields, what's so bad?"

"Don't pretend," Gu Huai said with pity on his face, "your cloth shoes are not stepped on." ”

Dong Liangcai lowered his head, and saw the soles of his feet that were clasped to the ground, as well as the deformed cloth shoes, and the smile on his face finally disappeared little by little.

He raised his head expressionlessly: "After that day, you sent someone to find me, saying that you would give me a chance for revenge, and then tricked me into coming here, a year, a year!" You think I want to farm? ”

"You're a person who has picked up a life, isn't it good to use this tone in front of your life-saving benefactor?"

"Bah," Dong Liangcai spat on the ground, "Master Pei is not a good person, I knew it early on, what are you pretending to be in front of me?" If it weren't for me, you, the chief officer of the secret spy department, would be afraid to kill someone? ”

Gu Huai smiled, noncommittal to Dong Liangcai's evaluation, and just looked in the direction of Jinling: "It's going to start." ”

"Do you even know what you're doing?" Dong Liangcai frowned, "I thought you were going to find a way to be Master Pei of the Jinyi Guard, but now you came to Jinling to say something inexplicable... Was Lao Tzu deceived by you? ”

"Revenge, you have to be thorough to have pleasure, in the face of the person who used to be high above and didn't take his life seriously, completely trample on his beliefs and trample on everything he depends on for a living, isn't it the most delicious revenge?"

Dong Liangcai was silent for a long time this time: "You want to fight with Jinyiwei?" ”

"Sooner or later, Jinyiwei is the personal guard of the Son of Heaven after all, and I am rebelling now," Gu Huai sighed, "Although I have also made some preparations, it seems that there are still some deficiencies, this time it is estimated that many people will die, many spies in Jinling will be withdrawn, many dark lines will be reburied, and a major reshuffle will be carried out internally, these will take a lot of time, but what I lack the most now... It's time. ”

He thought for a while: "That Ji Gang, you know, can't stay in Jinling, so I still need a capable person to enter Jinling City, but you did a good job in Jinyiwei." ”

Dongliang smiled and smiled: "Aren't you afraid that I will sell you?" Jing Nan four anti-thieves, what else can I do if I catch you? ”

"If you can wait here for a year, it seems that the fire of revenge has really burned you very badly," Gu Huai opened the door of the house and looked at it, with a very satisfied expression on his face, "The more a person is grateful to another person, the deeper the hatred will be when he is betrayed, he treats you as a loyal dog that can be slaughtered and drunk, why can't you be a mad dog?" ”

"Kind of makes sense," Dong Liang nodded, "Then what should I do with this house?" ”

"It's mine," Gu Huai waved his hand, "I just don't need a place to live, anyway, if you die in Jinling, you won't need it in the future." ”

"Makes sense." Dong Liangcai stopped talking nonsense, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
