"Who do you say is still alive?"

When listening to his sister Pei Ying almost finish talking about what happened in one breath, Pei Zijian, who had already practiced calm in the face of the storms and waves, was inevitably shocked, just from the sudden clenched fists and impatient tone, it was not difficult to see the eagerness in his heart.

Although it has been some time since the incident, Pei Ying still couldn't believe it when she said it at this time, she took a deep breath, and only after calming down the excitement in her heart did she say with certainty: "It's Liuniang, Pei Liuniang's sixth sister, she is still alive!" If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that Pei Zheng had already returned home when she was convicted, but she didn't expect to be able to escape. ”

"What's going on, where is Liuniang now, and did she say why she asked you to secretly fund He Shaozu?"

Facing a series of questions from her brother, Pei Ying took another long breath: "Liuniang was not sentenced to death back then, but exiled Gaoliang County as a slave, it should be the queen who interceded for Liuniang, so that she was lucky to survive, what experience she had in Gaoliang County was not detailed, how she could return to Kyoto as an official slave did not mention it, let alone tell me where to live now, only said that everything is fine, I saw her dressed, it didn't look like she was still suffering, as for why she funded He Shaozu...... She only said six words, and she could only fall heavy when she ascended, so she wanted to take revenge on He Shaozu for what happened back then. ”

"Climb high to fall heavy." Zijian repeated these six words, frowning: "He Shaozu is just a mustard, it is easy to clean him up, I am only worried that Liu Niang is not He Shaozu alone, she is just a weak woman, and her identity must not be exposed, I am worried that she will take risks for revenge, not to mention, she may not know the real murderer who framed Pei Zheng and the two clans." ”

"I squirmed." Pei Ying followed up and said: "He Shaozu has been depressed for all these years, but recently he suddenly began to jump up and down, trying to climb the power in the name of Liu Shiniang, the reason why he has such an action should be related to the promotion of Liuniang in the back, only Although He Shaozu married Mao Wei's slave as his wife, the Fang family is not rich, he has no money and silver in his hands, and it is naturally inconvenient to operate, maybe Liuniang is also inconvenient to fund, so I asked me to help, I was overjoyed to see that Liuniang was okay that day, and agreed to her without hesitation, I didn't have time to tell my brother. ”

Zijian shook his head lightly: "It's not a big deal, even if I know it, I won't object." ”

"Liu Niang said that if there is a need in the future, she will contact us, so that we don't need to worry about her, as for revenge, she didn't say a word." Pei Ying sighed: "She has a daughter's family, lonely Lingling was exiled to Lingnan, and I don't know how many hardships and humiliations she has experienced, and how much effort has been wasted to get out, thinking that so many years have passed, we don't even know that she is still alive in the world, and she has not helped at all, I really don't want to go, but she insists on not telling me where I live now, and I can't force it." ”

"I hope she will be safe and smooth from now on, and she will not act impulsively, Jingzhao Pei's lineage, but she is the only one." Pei Zijian said, his face was even more solemn: "Although Gong Chen told us early that Jing Zhaoliu is enough to be trusted, but that is just based on the position of the lord, I am never sure whether the death of the aunt is related to Jing Zhaoliu, whether Pei Zheng was accused of being an accomplice back then, after all, Mrs. Wei and the Queen Mother are sisters, and when Liu Zhi was alive, it was obviously the Queen Mother's party, otherwise the eldest daughter of the Liu family, how could she be a concubine for the prince in the first place, after thinking about it for a few times, I asked you to secretly inquire about Liu Siniang, but I never expected that Liu Shiniang was such a young girl, But on behalf of Liu Siniang, he came forward to raise the police and beat you. ”

"But Liu Shi Niang clearly understood our intentions, but did not alarm the elders in the family, or Mrs. Wei and the Liu brothers knew about it, but they didn't want to pay attention to it, it seems that they reminded us not to act rashly, from this point of view, the Liu family should have nothing to do with the events of the year." Pei Ying said: "Besides, the lord will never work together with the Queen Mother, since Chen Gong's treatment of the Liu family is enough to be trusted, the Liu family should not be the Queen Mother's party." ”

Seeing that the elder brother was still groaning, Pei Ying said again: "After all these years of changes in the court, didn't my brother also believe what Chen Gong said back then, that the person who framed Pei Zheng and the two clans was not the Son of Heaven but the Queen Mother?" ”

"You have been in contact with Liu Shiniang, saying that although she is a concubine, she is quite valued by the family, and she is intelligent, keen, and resourceful, maybe sure?" Zijian asked.

Pei Ying bowed her head: "Undoubtedly, otherwise she is young, how can the elders in the family rest assured that she can take care of such general affairs as the industry, this little girl is steady in her words and deeds, it is strange to say, every time I get along with her, I seem to have an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but it seems to be ...... It's not the looks, but the feeling that gives me, as if it is very similar to the queen back then. ”

Zi Jianyi raised his eyebrows: "Since Liu Shiniang is so cautious and intelligent, why was she so easily used by He Shaozu this time?" Even if she has no grudge against He Shaozu, she can be a noble girl, how can she let a person like He Shaozu take advantage of her fame to make money? ”

Pei Ying couldn't explain this question, just shook her head.

"You find an excuse to ask Liu Shiniang to come out, I want to meet her."

"Brother wants to see her?" Pei Ying was surprised.

"The reason why I rushed back in a hurry this time was because I got a letter from Gong Chen, saying that there is one thing, the people in the palace are inconvenient to interfere, and I need to persuade Liu Shiniang to help, but in order to protect everything, it is best for us to come forward." When Pei Zijian said this, he paused slightly, glanced at Zhang Gui next to him, and said again: "Ah Ying, this time I went to Silla, and the field and house industry have been prepared. ”

These words seemed quite clueless, which made Pei Ying stunned for a while.

"Silla since I joined forces with the Great Zhou to destroy Goguryeo, ten years ago finally destroyed Baekje again, to complete the unification of the Three Kingdoms, now this Silla king has made great efforts to govern the country, the government is harmonious, the official system is clear, and the people can recuperate and live and work in peace and contentment, and in the past, part of the territory of Goguryeo, now under the jurisdiction of Panbo, the king of Andong and the Northern Liao, although the king of Silla is still friendly to the Great Zhou, but also with the Northern Liao is like a friendly country, the Northern Liao has broken off diplomatic relations with the Great Zhou because of its strong aid to Pan Bo, in my opinion, if you and your sister-in-law move to Silla, No matter how the political situation of the Great Zhou changes, there will always be peace in the future. ”

After Zijian finished saying this, Pei Ying took the case, only to see that she was short of breath and her face was flushed, she was so excited, and her words were even more categorical: "I will be where my brother is, if my brother doesn't go to Silla together, don't try to persuade me to go there and steal peace." ”

"Ah Ying, don't be willful, you can be safe, so that I can have no worries at all."

Pei Ying waved her hand categorically: "If Brother has no worries, do you want to risk your life, if Brother has a case, I will have no relatives in this world, I will never ignore Brother A, no matter how many difficulties and dangers there are in the future, I will only live and die with Brother A." ”

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Pei Ying, Zijian sighed again: "You know what Gong Chen's purpose is, but now the situation, his chances of winning the plan are extremely small, and for Pei Zheng Zhaoxue, I alone can't, only to help Chen Gong and his alliance, back then, you and I were protected by the clan, this situation can't be repaid, but Ah Ying, you are just a woman, if my brother can't protect you, how can you tell me to go to see Quanxia's parents?" ”

But no matter how Zijian knew how to reason with emotion, Pei Ying straightened her waist and finally had only one sentence: "You have to go together, you have to stay together!" Zijian was helpless, and flew a look to his sister-in-law Zhang Gui, who wanted him to help, but the stupid big man also straightened his chest: "I obey the wishes of the mother, and I also want to live and die with my brother, since we are a family, there is no reason to separate flesh and blood." ”

Zijian was completely helpless, slapped his sister and sister-in-law on the shoulders respectively, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The current situation is far less dangerous, how can you say something auspicious in your mouth as if you are going to die immediately?" It's really enough to block me. ”

Pei Ying immediately understood that the elder brother was pretending to be relaxed, and debunked it in one sentence: "Although Duke Chen has a plan, he has been telling us all these years to accumulate assets and keep our troops for the time being, and don't provoke the suspicion of the Queen Mother because of impulsiveness, Brother Ah also said before that it was the lord who was not willing to take the throne, so Duke Chen did not dare to act rashly, but now he suddenly wants to send me to Silla for refuge, if there is no danger, I don't believe it, besides, Brother Ah just said that there is something in the palace that needs Liu Shi Niang's assistance!" ”

"That incident in the palace is nothing more than a rainy day." Zijian saw that he couldn't hide his sister-in-law and couldn't persuade her to leave, so he had to explain the truth: "Even if the lord doesn't have that mind, maybe it won't be long before there will be a dangerous juncture, just because ...... It is impossible for the saint to have any more heirs, and although the Queen Mother does not know about it now, this matter cannot be hidden for long! ”
