Pei Yuanying returned to Pei's residence yesterday evening. Not long after Li Tang helped the drunk Pei Yuanying to the guest room of Zheng's house, two guards of Pei's family took her into a carriage and took her back to Pei's house. Fortunately, I didn't spend the night at Zheng's house, otherwise I really couldn't tell.
Early in the morning, Pei Yuanying received a secret report from the county government. After hearing that the warehouse of the Zheng family was burned and all the contents inside were destroyed, he was furious, and immediately announced the arrest of Zheng Yaozu. However, he specifically asked the county magistrate to show great fanfare during the interrogation, but not to make the charges public.
Pei Yuanying is still too careful. The Zheng family's private possession of military equipment is a serious crime of treason against the nine clans. Even if the charges are reported, it is okay. At worst, it is Zheng Yaozu who stole it by taking advantage of his position as an escort for military equipment. Even if Zheng Yaozu The confession was made by himself, and it can be said that he was bloody. However, Pei Yuanying was thinking in his mind that the armaments were stored in Zheng's house. Keep this matter under wraps for the time being.
Judging from Zheng Yaozu's reputation in Lingxi Town alone, Pei Yuanying did a good job. Before he was detained in the lobby of the government office, the people of Li came out to beat and scold him. No one doubted what kind of crime he had committed. The head said that he slipped his mouth and told Li Tang, I am afraid that this matter has already been passed on.
However, it was Pei Yuanying who was too careful, which made Li Tang see the flaws, and confirmed that the interrogation in the county government hall was just a process, and the real driving force behind the scenes was Pei Yuanying.
The county government office is not far from Xiaowei's mansion. Li Tang and Xie Wenyu soon came to Pei Yuanying's mansion. They happened to see that Pei Yuanying was about to straddle out of the city at this moment, surrounded by more than a dozen officers and soldiers. After Li Tang arrived, Pei Yuanying was slightly taken aback, then quickly came back to her senses and asked with a smile: "Why is Brother Li so busy looking for me today? Could there be something wrong?"
Li Tang also cupped his hands and said: "You can't see my second brother Pei if you have nothing to do? This is too domineering."
"Haha, where is it? It would be the best if you could come to my house as a guest. Miss Wenyu is here too." Pei Yuanying gave Xie Wenyu a look. After the embarrassing meeting with Xie Wenyu last time, he I have already fully known Xie Wenyu's background, and she is also an imperial court official. Although she is only half a step away from Pei Sisheng's position as a commander, her power is not trivial. Fortunately, the two families are still on good terms. .
"Lieutenant Pei has such a great official authority, and he brought so many people with him when he went out." Xie Wenyu, after Pei Yuanying publicly told the stupid things she did when she was a child last time, has been brooding in her heart, saying that hatred is out of the question, But it's not like liking it, I just want to find an opportunity to vent my anger, so the words are a little bit weird at the moment.
"Haha, Wenyu, I really offended you last time. I said something wrong. I shouldn't have said something about your childhood. Next time I will apologize to you in front of Uncle Xie. Don't blame me." Pei Yuanying Lian Sheng apologized, but Xie Wenyu felt aggrieved, his eyes were loose, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Pei Yuanying saw that the little girl was ignoring her, and turned to Li Tang: "Brother Li, I really have something to do today, as you know, I still have three thousand captains under my command, it won't be long It¡¯s autumn, and every autumn the border crossing will not stop. This year, there is quite a lot of rain, and the water and grass are lush on the grassland, but we have to guard against it. No, the task of Jinyang City is to drill the army, and I have to do it here too. Do it urgently."
"Since Second Brother Pei is busy, I'll come back another day."
Having said that, Li Tang was about to turn around and leave, but Pei Yuanying touched his chin and said, "Don't rush away, are you interested in letting me take you out of the city to see my school captain's camp?"
"Second brother, this is not very good, you know, I can't leave Lingxi Town, if I rush out of the city, I'm afraid"
"What's the matter? At worst, I'll just talk to Zhang Guangju and Liu Tong. Besides, there are 3,000 troops in our school's Weiying camp. I'm afraid you won't be able to run away? If you can really run away, that's your ability, too. My army is poorly trained, and it just so happens that you can come over and see for me from the perspective of an outsider, what deficiencies are there in my lieutenant battalion."
"Since this is the case, then respect is worse than obedience."
Following Pei Yuanying's arrangement, the two fast horses were pulled over in a short while, and Li Tang and Xie Wenyu got on their horses and followed Pei Yuanying out of the city.
"Second brother, do you know something happened in the town today?" Li Tang was a little bored along the way, and then he talked about some things about the fire in Lingxi Town.
"Why don't you know, oh, things are so impermanent, we were still drinking together yesterday, I didn't expect such a big thing to happen today, I only heard about it this morning.Someone told me that I hope Yaozu will be safe and sound. "Pei Yuanying had no expression on his face, and he spoke casually in a few words. No one saw him biting his back molars faintly, and an infinite resentment burst out in his heart.
"Who said it wasn't? I just forgave him yesterday, and I went into the lobby for interrogation today. You haven't seen my second brother. On the road from Zheng's house to the government, Zheng Yaozu was covered with rotten eggs and rotten leaves. They all exude a musty smell, which is unbearable."
"Heh, the mighty Young Master Zheng in the past is now in such a miserable state. I told him a long time ago that he should be a good man, at least not to be so notorious, but he didn't listen and went his own way. It was hard. I helped him get a border army escort document to let him stand up in the family, which can be regarded as an improvement, who would have thought that it would look like this, if I had known this, I shouldn't have given him that document."
Pei Yuanying pretended to be heartbroken, and raised his sleeves to cover his eyes. In fact, he didn't have a single tear. He just wanted to appease his furious heart and not let his emotions be shown in front of Li Tang.
"Second brother, don't be too sad. Life and events are unpredictable. Maybe Zheng Yaozu is doomed to have this disaster. I hope he can get through it safely."
After Li Tang finished speaking, he fell silent. Pei Yuanying pretended to be sad, but Li Tang was quite helpless. He saw that the four playmates who used to chase and fight, now each had their own little thoughts, and they were fighting each other. There is no way to hold it. Having said so much, Xie Wenyu on the side finally figured out what they just said, and the heroine breath on her body burst out instantly, and suddenly shouted at Li Tang: "Well, Li Tang, why didn't you call me for drinking yesterday? Did you look down on me? drink!"
Pei Yuanying made a little villain, and said first: "Miss Wenyu, we did drink together yesterday. As for why he didn't call you, you can ask him yourself. I also wondered at the time, since Miss Wenyu came from Jinyang Chengyuan came all the way to follow Brother Li, why didn't he bring you along?"
Seeing the two singing together, Li Tang suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and quickly explained: "I also had an emergency yesterday, and I didn't have time to call you, so I will definitely call you next time."
"It's agreed, you must call me next time, this time you owe me, and you will make it up later."
"Why do I owe you a meal, you girl is still unreasonable."
Xie Wenyu snorted, and flicked the horsewhip vigorously in his hand, and the horse under his crotch galloped forward. Pei Yuanying laughed and raised the whip, Li Tang looked helpless, so he waved the horsewhip and followed.
The Xiaowei camp is stationed five miles south of the city, guarding an important traffic road going south. Since Lingxi Town is called Shanzhen Lingxi, it is not without reason. Lingxi Town is surrounded by mountains on the south, west, north and three sides, and only the east direction is acceptable. On a smooth road, as Li Tang and his party gradually approached the Xiaowei camp, they could see that the mountains on both sides were approaching them in the form of a bank, and a valley-like place was formed in the middle. The place where the Xiaowei camp is stationed is In this valley, behind the valley is a small road. After passing through the mountain, the road diverges, leading to the Western Region and Yongping City respectively.
Following the galloping horses, the group of people came to the captain's camp not long after. Three commanders standing in front of the army saw Pei Yuanying coming, and they put down their work one after another and came forward to greet them. People took advantage of the opportunity and entered the large tent of the march. Although the commander is also a sixth-rank according to Qingcang's regulations, he is only slightly lower than Pei Yuanying's sixth-rank captain in name. They are also Pei Sisheng's subordinates, so they look very close.
"Mr. Ma Qian, I haven't visited the camp for a long time. Today I brought a few friends." Pei Yuanying lowered her body slightly to get out of the way, revealing Li Tang and Xie Wenyu who were standing behind him. This is Li Tang, I told you before, and you generally understand it, so I won¡¯t go into too much detail, this is Wenyu, the daughter of Uncle Xie¡¯s family, the comfort envoy of Jinyang City.¡±
After several people saluted each other, Pei Yuanying continued: "I came here today, and there is nothing else. We are training the army recently. I wanted to come and see my brothers. I happened to meet Li Tang and the others on the way, so I just brought it here by the way to see how you guys are going, there is nothing you can't see, right?"
Mr. Ma Qian immediately said: "Hey, what can't be seen here, Mr. Lieutenant, brothers practice day and night, isn't it just to kill the enemy in line in the future, can the common people cheer for us? If there is any problem, let him point it out Come on, either this person doesn't understand anything, or there is something wrong with my practice, and if there is a problem, just correct it in time."
"As long as you have the words of Mr. Ma Qian, let's go, let's go and see the training situation of 3,000 people."
Having said that, Mr. Ma Qian led a group of people out of the big tent and walked towards the army brandishing guns. The training of 3,000 soldiers in the valley was overwhelming. Mr. Ma Qian looked at his training results in front of him with satisfaction, and the other two Mr. Qian couldn't help but nodded, as everyone felt their blood rushing for these 3,000 soldiers. When he was in the middle of the night, Mr. Ma Qian said slowly: "Why don't we have a martial arts competition?"go. The training of 3,000 soldiers in the valley was overwhelming. Mr. Ma Qian looked at his training results in front of him with satisfaction, and the other two Mr. Qian couldn't help but nodded, as everyone felt their blood rushing for these 3,000 soldiers. At the time, Mr. Ma Qian said slowly: "Why don't we have a martial arts competition? ?
