It’s better to be rich, at least it sounds festive!

Xie Yuheng's heart sank slightly, "What about Qiu?"

Pei Xia smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Before she went to prison, my grandmother sent her out of the palace. I don't know..."

Not knowing whether you are alive or dead is better than being already dead, right?

But I’m afraid that his current situation is worse than death.

"Excuse me, what is your grandmother's name?"

Pei Xia did not feel offended when listening to Xie Yuheng's question.

"My grandmother's name is Pei Xi. She is the fifth child in the Pei family and has a younger brother named Pei Ji."

"My grandmother told me that all the men of the Pei family were exiled to Youzhou, and the women were made prostitutes for the Yizhou army..."

"It was just that the officers who were escorting them at the time colluded with the Hu merchants, engaged in human smuggling, and secretly transported them out of the country."

Xie Yuheng listened quietly, checking the time silently in his mind.

When Chu Tianchen was in power, he became increasingly incompetent and engaged in human smuggling...it is indeed possible.

"My grandmother was the youngest among the women in the family at that time, and she was protected by others all the way."

"Until we entered the Wusun territory, only one sister was still alive..."

"Later, they..."

Pei Xia's throat choked slightly, and the corners of his eyes turned red. "She entered a brothel, and my grandmother's sister died within two years..."

"My grandmother is pretty, so the madam wants to buy her for the highest price."

"Fortunately, there was a young man from a royal family who loved my grandmother and redeemed her. The two of them were in love for a while."

"Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Chi Yao saw her at a palace banquet and, on the pretext that she had no relatives in a foreign land, she forced my grandmother into the palace to be a maid..."

"That family was also suppressed by Anda, and soon they were broken up."

Xie Yuheng keenly sensed something was wrong, "Anda, why do you want to suppress that family?"

Pei Xia was stunned, thought about it carefully, and shook his head.

"I don't know either. Everyone in the palace says that Anda and Chi Yao are having an affair, but no one has any definite evidence."

"Anyone who had doubts would have already gone to hell..."

A bold idea emerged in Xie Yuheng's mind!

Pei Xia continued, "Not long after grandma entered the palace, she gave birth to our mother."

"It's just that... since she was born to a slave in the palace, she is naturally still a slave. When my mother grew up..."

Pei Xia's voice became more and more choked, until she could no longer cry and could not speak.

Pei Dong stood on the bed, put his hands on his hips, and snorted.

"It's that old witch Chi Yao who has become the queen mother who presides over the government."

"The actual power lies entirely in the hands of the An family."

"She wanted to keep a lover, but she didn't dare to, so she abused the palace maids!"

“So my sisters and I call our grandmother grandma instead of grandma-in-law.”

"You are a twisted, perverted, ugly freak who bullies the weak and fears the strong. I wish old witch Chi Yao a long life!"

Xie Yuheng understood all the childish words...

The little girl punched and kicked the air, then hung her head and said weakly:

"Can you please trouble big brother to help find Sister Qiu..."

"It's natural."

While the two were talking, Pei Chun woke up slowly. She coughed a few times and figured out the situation.

She looked at Xie Yuheng, her voice weak.

"Grandmother knew that it was impossible to send all of us out of the palace, so she entrusted a very important matter to my third sister."

"I don't know what it is specifically about, but I know it's related to the investigation of Pei Tongshu's life span during the Jiande period..."

Pei Tongshu's investigation.

According to Xie Yuheng's calculations, this might be related to why Emperor Chu did not live past fifty!

Just as Xie Yuheng was about to ask in detail, someone came and said that the general wanted to see her about something.

She had no choice but to stand up and reach out to pinch the little girl's hair.

In a soothing tone, he said, "Uncle Pei Ji is still alive and is now working at the Ministry of Works in Beijing. You should also take good care of your injuries."

As for the fact that Pei Ji couldn't walk, Xie Yuheng didn't say anything for the time being, because he would know after arriving in Beijing.

……

Following the messenger, he returned to the central military camp.

Zhao Zheng said cheerfully, "Didn't they say a few days ago that a spy had contacted the King of the West? And now we have the news..."

Xie Yuheng took the letter from Zhao Zheng.

In addition to the actions of King Xixian during this period, there are other words mentioned above.

When he was disguised as a Wusun soldier, he rescued a girl at the Wusun border. Her name was Pei Qiu!

Xie Yuheng raised his eyebrows. What a coincidence?!

Just now the women of the Pei family entered the camp, missing Pei Qiu, and now there is news about Pei Qiu?

Xie Yuheng concealed the information about the short-lived Emperor Chu and told Zhao Zheng about Pei Qiu.

After hearing this, Zhao Zheng also frowned.

"But judging from this letter alone, it doesn't seem like it was forged by someone else, and it also has the seal of the Western Sage King."

Xie Yuheng pondered for a long time and said, "This matter may be of great importance. I want to go and see it myself."

Looking at the tired look in her eyes and her slightly trembling hands.

Zhao Zheng raised his eyebrows, put on an air of eldership, and said, "If you want to go, you must rest well first!"

"You fought hard all night without closing your eyes for a moment, and now you want to run away again? Are you made of iron?"

Xie Yuheng certainly wouldn't joke about his own body.

If he dies suddenly, wouldn’t all the planning over the past decade be in vain?

She made a list of the number of people and supplies accompanying her, handed it to Zhao Zheng, and then went back to her tent to catch up on some sleep.

The next day, it was just dawn.

Xie Yuheng then led a group of people and went out of Yumen Pass to the west again.

A certain gangster had a leg injury, so he couldn't go with them, but there was an extra woman on the trip this time - Ye Cen!

That day in Zhangye, Xie Yuheng entrusted Su Rina to the county magistrate.

Ye Cen continued his journey westward, occasionally helping the people write letters and the like for free, and only recently arrived in Yumen.

She did not understand Western Xiongnu, but knew some Wusun.

The place we are heading to this time is right in the territory of Wusun, so if anything happens, I can also act as a translator.

As for Chengge's guard who was proficient in the languages ​​of the Three Kingdoms, unfortunately, he was also injured in the chaos of the previous night!

As a second choice, Xie Yuheng chose Ye Cen.

The young girl, in high spirits, rode on the horse, shouting excitedly yet restrainedly.

"This is the first time I've been out of Yumen Pass since I was a child!"

Moreover, it has a mission!

She can act as a translator just like the translator from the Ministry of Rites. How can people not be excited!

She wished she could run to her grandfather and shout in his ear, "Old man, your granddaughter has great potential!"

As if infected by her smile, Rong Er said, "Speaking of which, the father of Minister Ye back then was Ye Wei."

"He also served as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and was ordered to go on a diplomatic mission to Dayuezhi to persuade them to join the fight against the Xiongnu."

It's a pity that it's gone forever.

Ye Zhongliang is now in his sixties and his hair is gray.

Upon hearing this, Ye Cen stopped laughing and sighed, "Oh, that's right!"

"When I was at home, I often heard my grandfather muttering after drinking that my great-grandfather had not kept his promise and had not accompanied him to appreciate the apricots..."

But everyone knows that when Chu Tianchen was in power, he helped Wusun destroy Dayuezhi.

However, every time the Wusun captured a city, they would massacre the people in that city.

They kill anyone they see, and even any wild dog that passes by will be chopped with a knife!
