Han Qi's cold gaze was fixed on Pei Heng's face, with a strange smile on his mouth, and he asked back out of nowhere: "My lord, do you really believe that I am the running dog of the Sun family?"

Pei Heng looked at him quietly for a while, and said, "Yes, and no."

Han Qi's expression is strange, the pain of being tortured by Xu Jin's illusion still remains, but he is obviously not a person whose mind is easily shaken, and the contradictory and divided mood is uncontrollably revealed on his face at this moment, like crying, laughing, or crying. Hateful like ridicule, he suddenly laughed twice.

Pei Heng said coldly: "Who are you buying time for?"

Han Qi squeezed out a few words between her teeth: "Of course it's your royal family!"

Pei Hengyin clenched his hands under the wide sleeves suddenly, and shouted sharply: "You know what you are talking about!"

Han Qi seemed to lose his strength all of a sudden, he seemed to have finally completed his last mission, so he took some time to become dazed, and said nonsense: "The most noble royal family in the world, the blood of the ancient gods flows in his body, Hahahaha... still killing each other, greedy!"

Pei Heng took a step forward and grabbed Xu Jin's arm and said quickly, "I want to confirm whether what he said is true or not."

Xu Jin understood immediately, and Han Qi froze almost at the same time, the distorted and painful dark color on his face reappeared, if the whole person was not tied to the wooden frame with a rope, he must have curled up and fell to the ground.

Xu Jin withdrew his spiritual power, Han Qi's teeth were already trembling when he came back to his senses, Pei Heng asked, "Who are you working for at the same time?"

Han Qi's eyes drifted away, and he collapsed, and said, "The Sun family... King Huaiyuan."

Pei Heng signaled the jailer to take him back to the cell, turned around and pulled Xu Jin to stride out of the prison, and said to the following warriors: "Let the people divide into two routes, one way to the southern border to inquire about the movement of Yanyun's army, and the other way to go north to Zhaowu Camp. "

He casually took off the prince's seal on his waist and handed it to the warrior: "Take this to Shen Zhan, and only say that Xiao Shier and Lord Hou have returned to Beijing, he knows what he means."

The warriors went as soon as they were ordered. Under normal circumstances, the warriors of the Three Palaces only listened to the king's order, and Pei Heng could not use them. However, the emperor didn't plan to show up for a few days, so he pardoned Pei Heng's privileges and gave him all the manpower. up.

As soon as he got out of the big prison, the sky suddenly lit up, hurting people's eyes, and Xu Jin asked suspiciously, "Why did Marquis Yanyun rebel?"

Pei Heng's face was very ugly, and he said: "It may not be true, his mind has been unpredictable, maybe it's because of Young Master Gu, maybe it's because King Huaiyuan has some blood relationship with him, but at this juncture Come on, just in case."

Xu Jin frowned: "But you are a fateful friendship, it should be more beneficial to stand by your side."

Pei Heng suddenly stood still, took Xu Jin's hand, and said: "Yan Yunhou led his troops to pacify southern Xinjiang, killed a royal family in southern Xinjiang with his own hands, and brought back Young Master Gu from that man. Since then, Young Master Gu has been weak and Can't remember."

"I know this. Is there another secret behind it?" Xu Jin asked.

Pei Heng held his hand and said as he walked: "He met Young Master Gu early in the morning. You must have heard of Yan Yunhou, who is always flirtatious, but according to what I know about him, the first time he saw Young Master Gu, he was so flirtatious. I like it very much, and I made up my mind to want this person. At that time, the Yanyun Army didn’t have to forcefully attack Southern Xinjiang, there was still room for peace talks, and the royal family in Southern Xinjiang would be willing to give in and make concessions, but...it’s somewhat similar to my situation back then. A group of officials in the middle played tricks openly and secretly, brushing against the bully, and a decree was sent directly from Beijing, so the Yanyun army swung down, and the southern Xinjiang royal family was almost wiped out."

"Has Master Hou been punished for this?" Xu Jin asked.

Pei Heng shook his head: "At that time, the first emperor was ill, otherwise the decree would not have existed. Yan Yunhou took advantage of the wishes of some clans when he pacified southern borders, so no one in the court spoke to Yan Yunhou again, but Hou Ye's He was indeed irritated. Yan Yunjun suffered a lot in that battle, and was stained with a lot of blood that shouldn't be stained. He himself was also used. It can be said that I hated and hated those courtiers extremely, but when the late emperor passed away and A Huan came to the throne, he, like me, had to put his personal grudges aside. Now... the news of A Huan's fake death is spread, and Marquis Yan Yun has a lot to deal with. Maybe he will support King Huaiyuan to invade the capital, what he cares about is not who becomes the emperor, but the settlement of old and new grudges, taking advantage of this chaos, to kill all the officials."

Xu Jin looked at Pei Heng with mixed feelings: "King Huaiyuan will do whatever it takes to get to the throne, but you are different. If you are in power, you will never let him kill him like this, so he must first raise his troops to cooperate with King Huaiyuan." Enter Beijing."

Pei Heng smiled wryly: "Behind that line of ministers are aristocratic families all over the state capitals. It may be a pleasure to kill them with a single knife, but if the aristocratic families join forces to rebel, the people will soon be in dire straits. These people are sometimes more uncontrollable than wars, so we never deal with the Sun family. From the beginning, you have to take it step by step."

"Where is Lord Hou? He really only wants revenge, not rebellion at all?" Xu Jin asked.

Pei Heng was silent for a while, and said: "I'd like to believe him, but I'm not sure what he will think in his heart when he gets to that step."

Xu Jin comforted him: "If we really get to that point, it will be a long-term pain rather than a short-term pain. We will eradicate the elites in various places in one fell swoop, and then suppress the chaos and recuperate for a few years."

The more Pei Heng heard it, the more he became familiar with it, and he thought to himself, isn't this the method used by his family Xu Jin to rectify the evil law?So he looked at Xu Jin helplessly and connivingly, thinking that human beings are different from ten thousand demons, human life is very short, and a small twists and turns in one dynasty may make countless people's lives wasted in pain.But he knew that Xu Jin naturally understood this truth, but he just didn't want to worry too much to comfort him so unreasonably.

Pei Heng suddenly had a feeling that no matter how turbulent the world was, he was no longer alone, with Xu Jin by his side, so no matter how difficult and huge the choice, no matter how unpredictable the fate, he also had a peace of mind to support him.

"What do you want to say to the emperor?" Xu Jin clasped Pei Heng's five fingers, and unconsciously rubbed them lightly. The streets and alleys of Yangzhou were quiet in the early morning, with thick branches and lush greenery among the white walls and black tiles, and the mist had not yet dissipated.

"I can only tell the truth." Pei Heng said, "Ah Huan came all the way to me directly, I can't keep him in the dark."

Pei Heng rushed to Shaoyuan and reported the truth to the emperor. When Pei Huan heard the meaning of the twelve younger brothers leading troops to force the palace, his expression was in a daze for a moment, then he concealed his disappointment and continued to listen.

After the discussion, Pei Heng returned to the big prison and interrogated several key criminals in person. He didn't leave until the next day at dawn. From the content of the confession, he quickly found out the relationship between the Sun family and the local aristocratic family's corruption and bribery. How to control and evacuate this rich place in the distant capital, how to quietly transport talents and lay foundations, its ambition is expected, but its patience is unexpected.For a moment, he was so irritated that he might as well just acquiesce to Yan Yunhou's entry into the capital and let him kill Heqing Haiyan so that he can reorganize the rivers and mountains.

Pei Heng didn't seem to be tired even when he was spinning around. When he returned home to meet the emperor who was ready to go, he was about to set off immediately. Pei Huan asked him to get in the carriage to rest for a while, but he also refused: "Yangzhou City has just been cleared, but it's hard to guarantee that no one will come back. Revenge with a knife."

He and Xu Jin took the lead and maintained a high level of vigilance. After personally escorting Pei Heng to a safe place, he and Xu Jin rode lightly on horseback and rushed to the capital first. The speed will be slower.

When he and Xu Jin rode their horses to the vicinity of Jiangling City without stopping, they saw that the entire royal city was surrounded by a radius of [-] li, which was like an iron armor barrier, and the military tents stretched out silently all over the entire suburb of Beijing. All around, patrolling soldiers shuttled inside and outside the camp, only hearing the sound of armor colliding with gold.

And these iron cavalry stationed are not the same group of people at all - the Jiangzhou Army under Lu Juanqing, the Zhaowu Army brought by Shen Zhan, the Gyeonggi Army Camp, the soldiers and horses of King Huaiyuan, and the Yanyun Army.

The elite troops of the empire gathered outside the royal city, and they were about to explode, and the chilling aura of cold iron knocked out sparks silently among the barracks.

Pei Heng and Xu Jin Le rein stopped in the Gaoling forest, overlooking the various soldiers and horse camps all over the mountains and plains, and were speechless for a moment.

Pei Heng rubbed his temples, he had been suffering without sleep for days, and at this moment he felt a headache suddenly.

"Let's go?" Xu Jin asked.

Pei Heng nodded, shook the reins, and planned to move on: "If you can avoid mistakes, let's go."

Xu Jin raised his hand holding the whip, stopped Pei Heng's mount, and approached him with the rein, Pei Heng subconsciously looked at Xu Jin, his eyes were a little blurred.

Xu Jin leaned over to wrap his arms around his waist, kissed the corner of his eyes blatantly, then sat down and lashed Pei Heng's horse lightly with the whip in his hand, and moved forward together with the horse's belly: "Look at the situation, come in Beijing will not be free."

The end of Pei Heng's eyes was still warm, he laughed, so should he hurry up and take advantage of the final cleanliness?
