Chapter Seventy-Five: A Chance Encounter

Between the wind and snow, pedestrians hesitated.

Pei Kang lifted the curtain, and the blue and blue city of Luoyang was close in front of him.

"Stop and rest." Pei Kang commanded.

"No." Liu An, who was in charge of the guards, ordered a stop, and a group of hundreds of people stopped outside this small rural shop only a few miles from Luoyang.

The wind was a little strong, and the rain cloth on the carriage rattled. When the rain cloth lifted a corner, it revealed a colorful silk silk.

There is no doubt that this is the best Hedong Silk. The dipping technique is also quite skillful, and the colors are bright and beautiful.

This kind of silk silk is very popular in the market, and the cover is strong and wear-resistant because of its beauty and generosity, and can be used for a long time.

Pei Kang brought thousands of horses in one go, which can be described as a big deal.

The small shop in the countryside was not big, and after Pei Kang and a few people sat in, the others found a sheltered place to rest.

The shop quickly warmed the wine, served a few more dishes, and quietly retreated.

"I had a lot of worries along the way, and I saw that I was going to Luoyang. The old man asked you, have you thought about it? Pei Kang took a sip of wine, sighed contentedly, and asked.

Liu Anzhi nodded with a heavy face and said, "I've thought about it." ”

"Oh?" Pei Kang was a little surprised when he heard this, and said, "I asked you yesterday, and I was still stumbling, why did you figure it out today?" ”

"It's not because of the letter Pei Gong received?" Liu Anzhi smiled bitterly.

They came from the direction of Hanoi, and when they arrived at Mangshan, Hanoi Taishou Pei sent people to send a letter to him, saying that Shao Xun, Marquis of Luyang, led the troops to the Northern Expedition, broke Liu Han's 60,000 soldiers and horses, recovered Yecheng, and shocked Shandong.

If before this, there were still people in the Pei family who had opinions on marrying Shao Xun, after this battle, there should be many fewer people who said strange things.

Pei Kang used to be considered "overwhelming public opinion", but now it is "a matter of course". Perhaps, more money, food, nephews, and subordinates can be pulled to Guangchengze - the "investment" or "share capital" of other branches of the Wenxi Pei family.

"The Great Clan should act like this. I'm old, it's inconvenient to leave Hedong, you're still young, and it's just the right time to break through. Pei Kang said, and after speaking, he personally poured a bowl of wine for Liu Anzhi.

Liu Anzhi was flattered and took it, and even said that he didn't dare.

Pei Kang put down the wine jug and said: "In this world, no one can say what will happen, only a few more families can keep the family business from falling." ”

Liu Anzhi nodded silently.

The clan brother Liu Qi stayed in Hedong to take care of the family business. If Liu Hanqiang ordered him to come out, at this stage, he would refuse.

If he really refuses, he will be appointed as an official and become a member of Liu Han's bureaucratic system.

As for the Pei family, they will not be out of office now.

Liu Yuanhai didn't dare to force them, once the Pei family was moved, it would make the Pei, Song, Liu, Xue and other big families collectively uneasy, and the country would be in turmoil. In that case, his ambitions would be in vain.

By the way, recently the Taiyuan Wang clan split up and settled in Pishi County, Pingyang County. Looking at them like that, there will be people moving in the next few years.

But Pei, Liu, and Xue were a little skeptical about the true purpose of their separation.

If you don't come early or late, it happened that after Liu Yuan captured Pingyang and Hedong counties, they separated and moved. Considering the close relationship between the Taiyuan Wang family and Liu Yuan, this move is really a bit suspicious.

In short, the Pei, Xue, and Liu clans help each other, and they also have ties with other families, and even have many contacts with the Guanzhong family across the river.

If Liu Han has a good momentum and has signs of unifying the north, then their attitude will slowly change.

If the momentum is not good, and there are signs of extinction, then I'm sorry, who made you the Xiongnu regime?

They are ready for everything, it depends on how the situation develops.

In addition to Liu Han, other forces will also be investigated.

In recent years, the momentum has been very strong, and the brothers of Luyang Hou Shaoxun and Qingzhou Gou Xi are the objects of their key observation.

Liu Anzhi came to defect to Shao Xun.

The family is determined, whether he wants it or not, he has to come over.

From now on, he and the Shaw Brothers will be both prosperous and loss-making.

If he faces a life-and-death crisis, if he is too troublesome, the family will not necessarily rescue him.

In addition, if someone from the Liu family comes out of Liu Han, it is possible to meet each other on the battlefield in the future.

This is the unspoken rule of all parties in the family - of course, rules are rules, and it depends on personal relationships and so on, which is very complicated.

"The store quickly warms the wine." A rough voice sounded outside the door, and after a while, a burly man walked in and repeated it.

The shopkeepers responded again and again.

The strong man was stunned when he saw Pei Kang, and arched his hand and said, "Pei Gong." ”

Pei Kang nodded, but he didn't know this person.

Soon two more people entered, and when they saw Pei Kang, they were also stunned, and they all saluted: "Pei Gong." ”

"It turned out to be Wei's and Le's talents." Pei Kang got up, pulled the two of them to sit together, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen the two descendants for many years." ”

The people who came were Wei Jue and Le Kai.

Wei Jue is the grandson of the former emperor and Sikong Wei Qiang, and his wife Le Shi is the sister of Le Kai, who has passed away.

Le Kai is the son of a celebrity and a scholar, Ling Leguang.

The Wei family itself is also a big family in Hedong, but it suffered a heavy blow in the early days of the Eight Kings Rebellion, and nine people from one family were killed, only Wei Qi and Wei Jue happened to be not at home and survived.

In fact, the Pei family was also hit hard in the early stage of the Eight Kings Rebellion, but the damage suffered was much less than that of the Wei family, plus the Pei family itself has a deep foundation, and so far, the two families are no longer on the same level at all.

Moreover, the Hedong Wei clan is also very low-key now, except for relatives, basically does not interact with outsiders, and it is quite a bit of a feeling that he has been bitten by a snake for ten years and is afraid of the well rope.

"Pei Gongshen is full of energy, old and strong, I don't know how many people envy him." Wei Jue didn't speak, and Le Kai said, "This is going to Luoyang?" ”

"Exactly." Pei Kang didn't hide it, and said directly: "I heard that Hongxu is studying in Nanyang, how can he have time to come to Luoyang to hang out?" ”

"You have to come out and walk around." Le Kai said with a smile: "I first went to Liang County to see my sister and nephew, and then went to Hedong to visit relatives and travel to Luoyang with Uncle Bao." In a few days, I will go to Xingyang to visit my brother. Years ago, maybe I would go to Yecheng. ”

Le Kai's younger brother Le Zhao served as a middle- and lower-level subordinate in the Taifu Sima Yue shogunate, temporarily residing in Xingyang.

Wei Jue's brother Wei Qi served as a casual attendant in the court, which was an idle position, equivalent to an advisor in later generations. Whether there is power or not depends on whether or not it is trusted by the Son of Heaven.

Wei Qi was still trusted when he was the first emperor, but now he will not be able to take the throne, and it is normal to be a son of heaven and a courtier.

Le Kai said that he visited relatives all the way, and he was right. My sister, sister-in-law, and younger brother came to visit all the way, but who is Shao Xun in Yecheng......

Well, it's hard to say.

Anyway, now Nanyang Leshi is very interested in this cheap "sister-in-law" that he picked up, after all, it is too close, and Luyang County in Nanyang is even Shao Xun's fief.

The military leader at the door of the house asked if you were afraid?

Pei Kang was displeased when he heard the word "nephew", but he remained silent and asked, "Go to Yecheng?" See Lu Yanghou? ”

Le Kai nodded calmly, not hiding it at all.

Wei Jue glanced at him quietly, the meaning was unknown, as if he wanted to say something.

Le Kai was indifferent.

In fact, some of Nanyang Le's actions can't be hidden from others.

You have added to Shao Xun, after a long time, outsiders will slowly know, after all, Guang Chengze's place has become crowded now, and it is difficult to keep it secret.

In fact, Lekai received the letter from home in Hedong, in the middle of November, twenty days after the Battle of Mustang Gang.

After receiving the letter from his sister, he walked with Wei Jue, first came to Luoyang, planning to visit Situ Wang Yanhou, and then go to Xingyang and Yecheng.

As for going to Yecheng, he knew a little bit.

To be honest, he wasn't very interested, and Dunqiu was a little too dangerous. And he is the eldest son of the Le family, after his father was killed by Sima Yi, the king of Changsha, he is now the head of the Le family's main lineage, and it is really not suitable to serve as a taishou in Dunqiu.

However, the third brother Le Mo can be outstanding.

He once served as a county magistrate, and then resigned and returned home. It is not abrupt to assume the position of Taishou.

Besides, now I am afraid that there are not many Henan scholars who are willing to go to Hebei to become officials, and the competition will not be too fierce.

It's just a bitter third brother!

"Luyang Hou Weizhen three stations, Hebei Shimin rely on it." Pei Kang said with emotion: "This time the class teacher returns, the Son of Heaven cannot be commended. ”

This is talking nonsense with your eyes open.

All of you here are profound metaphysicians, who doesn't watch the heavens at night, check the qi, and who doesn't write a few books on gods and ghosts?

After a year of spreading last year's rumors, too many people know about it.

If Lu Yanghou was unknown, maybe no one would mention it. But his momentum is extremely strong, the battle of Yemagang, 20,000 broke 60,000, and Shi Le was defeated, and some people have already compared him with Gou Xi, saying that he is Han Bai in the world.

Isn't such a person too white star spirit to come into the world?

Well, some people may ask, could it be that Gou Xi was also born into the world with the Taibai Star Spirit? But the problem is that Shao Xun is only twenty-two years old, and he doesn't have much time to learn the art of war, and his martial arts are even more evident at the age of fifteen.

Judging from the perspective of "reason", he is a god descended from heaven.

How could the Son of Heaven be willing to encourage such a person?

"The Marquis of Luyang is the god general of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven has his help, and the four seas are peaceful." Le Kai had an approving look on his face.

There is no doubt that this is also talking nonsense with eyes open.

When Pei Kang heard this, his heart became more and more displeased.

Of course, there have been more and more things that he doesn't like these years.

Yu Min's niece is already the wife of the Marquis of Luyang, and it is difficult to change.

If the Pei family wants to marry a concubine to Luyang Hou as his wife, it is already too late.

Shao Xun would not have agreed in the first place.

The east of the river is far north of the big river, but the Yingchuan River is close at hand, how to choose, obvious.

Moreover, it will greatly offend the Yu family, and there will be a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Le Kai and was depressed.

No matter how poor the Le family is, the eldest son of Lu Yanghou was born to the daughter of the Le family, and the reasons for running are more sufficient than the Pei family.

Alas, how did things get to this point, it is clear that Shao Xun's bold bad seed first seduced the main mother.

Yixing Yanshan, really Yixing Yanshan, Lao Pei doesn't want to talk anymore.

Liu Anzhi was drinking silently on the side, but his ears had already been pricked up.

There were some things he vaguely knew, but he pretended not to know.

Today's chance encounter is really disturbing for Pei Gong.

But how?

The changes in the current situation are dizzyingly fast.

In his opinion, there are some things that are never too late as long as they are done.

Besides, there must be no chance?

The Wei Jue in front of him, his aunt Wei Xiu is the second wife of Wang Jun in Youzhou - Wang Jun has married four times in his life, the first three wives have passed away, and the current wife is from the Cui family of Qinghe.

Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

Pei Gong actually understood in his heart, but he was just not very comfortable. Otherwise, he would not have come to Luoyang with a large amount of money, and after receiving the letter from Pei Quan, he even pulled him to say a lot of words, further strengthening his determination.

Hedong County has fallen into the hands of the Xiongnu, and the Pei family should make many preparations.
