Chapter 63: When you’ve had enough fun in Xiangyang, come back to Chang’an with me
Pei Zhi paused and did not look back. He only felt that the dungeon was stinky and made him feel sick.
Even though he changed his clothes after bathing, he still felt the lingering smell of blood on the tip of his nose. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the red fragments placed on the window sill, which he had picked up piece by piece among the dead grass in Zhang Mansion.
Suddenly I felt a splitting headache and a pain in my chest. I grabbed the edge of the table with my palms and vomited out a mouthful of blood.
Chi Ying lowered his head and reported everything in the East Palace. Suddenly he saw a pool of blood on the ground. He was startled and wanted to call the imperial doctor.
"No need." Pei Zhi raised his hand and said, "It's not a big deal."
He will not go to court for several days. If he invites the imperial doctor to the palace again, I wonder what rumors will spread to the front line, which will destabilize the army.
On the second day, all the civil and military officials looked at each other, wondering whether King Wei would come today.
In the past few days, even if Chen Du and Yuan Qi went to the Prince Wei's Mansion, they would not be able to see the Prince of Wei.
"My dear friends, please be quiet."
The new prince Zhao Heng coughed twice, which not only failed to silence the court, but made it even more noisy.
"Why are you making so much noise?"
A calm and authoritative voice came from outside the palace. The man in purple had a warm smile and a graceful demeanor, without any sign of illness.
All the officials were silent, but Pei Zhi looked at Zhao Heng, nodded and said, "Sorry for being late."
Zhao Heng's face tightened, and he realized for the first time how hot the title of crown prince was.
Today's discussion at court was all about the Huai River War. Pei Zhi suddenly said, "Gu Yu personally leads the troops south."
Chen Du opened his eyes wide and looked over in disbelief. This was not mentioned in the approval given yesterday.
Yuan Qi was not surprised. Fu Xun and Liang Guo had spent too long. Now that Beihu had been decided, the King of Wei probably wanted to personally lead his troops to the Feishui River and attack all the way to Jinling.
Zhao Heng's eyelids twitched. King Wei is leaving Beijing?
"The King of Wei is a loyal minister of the Zhou Dynasty. This time he personally led the troops to fight against the rebellion. I think my father must be extremely moved." Zhao Heng opened his eyes and told lies, which made Pei Zhi's expression become subtle.
After returning to the court, Pei Zhi discussed the use of troops with several confidants in the palace of the King of Wei.
When Yuan Qi heard that King Wei planned to attack Jingzhou first, he was stunned for a moment. From Wancheng to Xiangfan and as far as Jiangling, he followed the river eastward to join Fuxun. This was indeed an excellent route.
But over the years, the King of Wei remembered that Jing Yi was once Princess Chengyang, and he always cared for her.
Although there were constant frictions, they never went to war. How could they change their minds now?
As if aware of Yuan Qi's doubts, Pei Zhi said with a cold expression: "I just feel that there is no need to be merciful to some people."

In Xiangyang City, Yu Tingwan and Qiu Tao walked around the market and only bought some cakes to take back to Jiaoyue.
The vendor wrapped the things in oil paper and handed them to her. From the corner of her eye, Yu Tingwan caught sight of clay dolls being sold nearby, and she became curious.
Qiutao came closer and said "uh".
This clay doll is too ugly. How dare you set up a stall with this level of craftsmanship?
Yu Ting talked to him before night. This young man looked ordinary and was thrown into a crowd like water dripping into the sea.
"Is this a dog?"
The young man glanced at her and said in a low voice, "This is a tiger."
Yu Tingwan put it down and picked up the only thing he could see. It was out of place among the bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates. It was a rabbit, which looked very cute.
"how much is this"
"Not for sale." This vendor was obviously doing business, but his attitude was casual.
The other vendors on the side couldn't look at it and said to Qiu Tao: "He has such a bad temper not long after he came here. Who will buy his ugly things?"
The young man had a cold expression when he heard this, packed up his things and left directly.
This was the first time Yu Tingwan saw someone doing business like this, but he wasn't annoyed, he just felt strange.
After returning to Yu Mansion and telling his brother about the matter, Yu Xiuyun's expression changed slightly.
The King of Wei led his troops southward, and when the Fei River was cut off by throwing whips, the army pressed on the border. Fu Xing, an old man, was so frightened that he kept sending him messages.
But the paradox is that the army by the Feishui River is still led by Fu Xun. Where is the King of Wei?
Yu Xiuyun felt uneasy in his heart. Pei Zhi wouldn't split his troops into two groups and head south from Jingzhou, right?
No, the King of Wei has always been cautious, fighting on both sides. When has he ever been so adventurous?
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Yu Tingwan couldn't help but be concerned when he saw his ugly face.
Yu Xiuyun glanced at his sister and felt that what she met today was Pei Zhi's spy.
"It's nothing. Someone in the government office reported a case recently, saying that there were flower pickers in the city. Wanwan is still staying in the government office these days." Yu Xiuyun held her hand, "Brother will send a few more shadow guards to you."
Yu Tingwan was bored in his mansion for a few days, and suddenly he heard the gardeners in his mansion talking, saying that Wancheng had been captured and that the Wei army would arrive in Xiangyang soon.
She stood behind the gardener and asked softly: "Who are you talking about?"
The gardeners were so frightened that they slapped themselves in the face. The young master didn't want the girl to know this, so he let them spill the beans.
Seeing that none of them answered, Yu Tingwan became angry and went straight to the study to find his brother.
"What's wrong?" Yu Xiuyun's tone was gentle, but his brows could not hide his tiredness.
"Pei Ling——King Wei has arrived in Wancheng, why didn't you tell me?"
Yu Xiuyun sighed, "Tell you, will it make you unable to eat or sleep? Don't worry, Xiangyang can stop King Wei's army."
She always trusted her brother and left obediently.
Yu Xiuyun was alone in the study, holding his forehead with his hand. Thinking of the vulnerable Wancheng in the military report, the pen in his hand broke into two pieces.
At night, Yu Tingwan was just about to take a rest when he saw that the window was open, and he murmured in his heart.
Just as she was about to call someone over, a pair of hands covered her lips and pushed her back, forcing her to fall back on the man's chest.
She suddenly remembered what her brother had said about the flower-picking thief, and she felt flustered for a moment.
"Wanwan." The man's voice behind him was very familiar.
It was Pei Zhi. Yu Tingwan turned his head and felt as if he was in a dream for a moment. Why was he here?
She should have run away at this moment, but her legs were weak and her feet were as if they were rooted to the ground and she couldn't move.
"Do you miss me so much?" Pei Zhi looked at the expression of the woman in front of him under the moonlight. His eyes were cold and he sighed: "Why did you run away on the wedding night?"
She finally regained some strength, opened her mouth and asked, "Where is my brother?"
Pei Zhi was able to enter the Yu Mansion openly and honestly. Could it be that the city of Xiangyang has been destroyed? Impossible, he just captured Wancheng not long ago, not that fast.
"I came here just to find you, how do I know where Mr. Yu is?" Pei Zhi sneered, "Maybe he is discussing with his subordinates how to kill my brother-in-law?"
"The shadow guards outside will not disturb us." Pei Zhi carried her to the bed, caressed her cheek and said, "Why do you have this look on your face? I didn't kill them."
"How did you get in?" Yu Tingwan subconsciously shrank back and pushed his hand away.
"Xiangyang City can stop the army, but it can't stop me. As for the shadow guards of the Yu Mansion, their martial arts are insignificant."
Yu Tingwan lowered his head and remained silent, not knowing what to say to him.
She thought Pei Zhi would kill her, but now it seems that she is not in fear of her life.
Pei Zhi pinched her chin and saw that she was plumper than in Chang'an, and her face became darker.
"You are having a good life here." He was silent for a moment, "When you have enough fun in Xiangyang, come back to Chang'an with me."
