After finishing speaking, Su Shi couldn't help but look at Pei Xun, but at this glance, he stood up suddenly. The chair was caught off guard, and was overturned by his sudden action, and slammed heavily on the ground with a dull sound.

Su Shi couldn't care about his gaffe, and looked at Pei Xun intently, his eyes were full of shock and incredulity.

When he first saw Bae Hyun, although Bae Hyun's hair was gray, his body was thin, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were clearly visible, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and his figure was as tall as a pine and cypress.

His spirit is full of energy, and his mind is still sharp.

But at this time, Pei Hyun's deep eyes have become cloudy, his upright body has become rickety, and the whole person has become sluggish.

Pei Hyun looked at Su Shi, who was shocked and inexplicable, and said apologetically: "Didn't I scare you." ”

His voice became low and hoarse.

Since his rebirth, there are very few things that surprise Su Shi, and there are almost no things that can frighten him, because his experience is far beyond that of people in this era, so he can always calmly observe and analyze any bizarre things from different angles, and then draw a reasonable conclusion.

But now Pei Hyun's changes make him unable to analyze, let alone explain, because whether before or after rebirth, he has never seen a person go from vigorous to dull in an instant.

It was as if some monster was greedily sucking his life.

"Why is this happening?"

Pei Hyun slowly closed his eyes and said calmly: "I said, I am the Taoist priest in your story, so there is really not much time left for you." ”

Su Shi looked at Pei Hyun, whose vitality was gradually disappearing, and finally asked, "Was the prince murdered by you?" ”

"Yes."

Although Su Shi had already been mentally prepared, he still felt incredible when he heard Pei Hyun's answer.

"Why? Du Ziqi said that you killed all the people who should be killed, and also said that you praised Prince Xian, why did you kill him? ”

Pei Xun was silent for a long time before he opened his eyes and said slowly: "There used to be a small country south of Daqian, Nanjing. Nanjing knew that he was powerless to confront the Great Qian, so he declared himself a vassal to the Great Qian, and became a vassal of the Great Qian. ”

But even though Nanjing was loyal to Daqian, he still did not dispel Daqian's concerns. Sixty-five years ago, Daqian still sent troops to destroy Nanjing, and Pei Ju, the king of Nanjing, committed suicide, and the royal family of Nanjing was also slaughtered, and only an eight-year-old child escaped by chance, and he never knew what happened. ”

Pei Hyun looked at Su Shi with a cloudy gaze and asked, "If you were a child at that time, how should you deal with yourself in the face of the hatred of destroying the country and destroying the family?" ”

Su Shi was silent for a long time before he replied slowly: "For individuals, the hatred of the country and the family are naturally not shared. But for the people, it is just the changing banner of the king at the head of the city, and no matter who rules, they are concerned about whether they can be fed and clothed. ”

Pei Hyun smiled and said, "You are right, I returned to Nanjing five years ago, and the people there have long forgotten that there was once a Pei royal family in Nanjing. ”

Su Shi sighed: "The reincarnation of the sun and the moon and the changes in the world are already embarrassing. ”

Pei Hyun smiled and said: "I can make such a sigh, and I definitely haven't gone through the pain of destroying the country and destroying the family." Then he asked, "If Daqian is destroyed by another country overnight, what kind of sigh will Gongzi make?" ”

Su Shi said with a smile: "The old gentleman is only afraid of asking the wrong person, even if the country is destroyed, it should be the Zhou royal family who cares about it." ”

Pei Xun said: "The Su family is all loyal martyrs, and if the great cadres are destroyed, how can the general's mansion be left alone." ”

Seeing that Pei Hyun was also a dying person, so Su Shi had a lot less scruples when he spoke, he shook his head and said, "The Su family is loyal to the martyrs, but it may not include me. ”

Pei Xun said: "Could it be that Su Gongzi has other plans?" ”

Su Shi shook his head and said: "I definitely think that a person should be loyal to the country, and even die for the sake of this country." ”

Pei Xun said: "In this way, Gongzi is also a loyal martyr, and he is loyal to Daqian. ”

Su Shi said: "What I am talking about is loyalty to the country. ”

Pei Xun thought about it, and the old man's face showed a slight look of surprise: "You mean that you may not be loyal to Daqian." ”

Su Shi didn't want to discuss this issue anymore, because even if Pei Hyun was wise, his vision was limited by the times, and he might not be able to understand what he was talking about. Moreover, Pei Hyun is now aging at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and Su Shi does not want to waste time on the battle of words.

So he just smiled slightly, and continued to ask: "If you want to murder a prince, I'm afraid it's as difficult as climbing to the sky." ”

Pei Hyun didn't ask any further, but replied lightly: "It's really difficult, it took me thirteen years to plan, layout and implement." ”

"Thirteen years?" Su Shi gasped, he didn't expect Pei Hyun's determination to take revenge so resolutely that he would spend thirteen years dealing with a person.

Pei Xun said: "Twenty-three years ago, I took off my monk's robe, put on a Taoist robe, and became a Taoist priest at the Ciyun Taoist Temple outside the capital. ”

Su Shi was stunned: "Why?" ”

That year, Zhou Yi was still a prince, and his life's wish was just to be a free prince. In those years, he was seeking the art of immortality, so he often went to Tsz Yun Guan to practice. ”

Su Shi said: "So you came to Ciyun Temple to become a Taoist priest in order to get close to Your Majesty today. ”

Pei Hyun was noncommittal and continued: "After two years of cultivation, I wore a red-robed robe, and countless dignitaries and nobles came here. ”

Su Shi was not familiar with religion, so he naturally didn't know what this red-robed robe meant, but since dignitaries and nobles were vying to visit, it showed that his status in Ciyunguan was not low at that time.

"Zhou Yi is naturally famous, but he also brought three teenagers that day, all of whom were fifteen or sixteen years old."

Su Shi said: "The prince is naturally among them. ”

Pei Hyun nodded and said, "The other two are Qi Yu, the grandson of the great general Qi Heng, and Tan Zhuo, the grandson of Tan Bin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Hearing this, Su Shi suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, as if he was blocked by something, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

Pei Hyun's originally calm eyes became a little sad, but he still said lightly: "Nanjing was destroyed in the hands of Qi Zheng, Qi Heng's father, and the Nanjing royal family was also slaughtered by him. That night, the royal court of Nanjing wailed, the blood flowed like a river, and the corpses were all over the field, like purgatory on earth. That night, a total of 393 people became dead souls under the butcher's knife. ”

Pei Hyun's tone was very light, but Su Shi felt a twitch in his stomach in his heart, and he had a feeling of wanting to vomit.

He had to take a few deep breaths before he could barely suppress the feeling.

"It was Tan Bin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who offered this plan to destroy the household, and he was the advisor under Qi Zheng at that time."
