Based on a thorough understanding of the generals under his command, Pei Jin gave some instructions in advance, but unfortunately he still couldn't stop the fierce Liaodong defender General Fengping, showing his bluff.

"Marshal... how come your eyes are like this... Seriously, really, you can't see at all?"

As soon as the door was closed, Feng Ping looked at Pei Jin, and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. The pair of eyes that were usually radiant and occasionally calm, became dim at the moment. to the taste.

Pei Jin, "..."

Unexpectedly, it can be seen at a glance that this person is rough and detailed, in fact, he should feel relieved. Pei Jin pressed his hand and signaled Fengping to sit first.

"What a handsome man, I'm just an idle Marquis now, and none of the seven major military regions are dispatched by me. With such a big title, do you want me to be the king in Mudanjiang? Sit down and talk."

Feng Ping was full of grief and indignation, and didn't want to be disturbed by his self-deprecation in a few words, but he really felt bad for not letting him be called Marshal.

"In my old Feng's eyes, you will always be my handsome man, and you will be handsome for a day and forever..."

Pei Jin blinked his dry eyes, thinking that it was because he had never been his master before, otherwise he would have to teach this unnecessarily "youdao is" to death, a martial artist, how can there be so many What about the stink of rigid dogma?

"To talk about things, I came all the way from Fengtian, let's talk about the real things first, and then express my feelings when I'm free."

Fengping, "..."

After a pause, he was still not at ease, leaning forward and asked, "Marshal, how long will it take for your eyesight to recover?"

Pei Jin smiled at him half perfunctorily and half comfortingly, "I'm taking medicine, Mr. Fan's prescription should be cured within twelve months."

Fengping, "..."

After being blind for a year, he can still be so calm!

It is said that troubles can reveal a person's true psychological quality. The commander-in-chief will not panic before the battle, and now he is exiled to a place where the birds don't shit, and he can still be flattered or humiliated. Can't keep up.

He was so adored that he threw his hands down and grabbed the mud, when Pei Jin lowered his voice and said apologetically, "It's not easy for you, you've been staying here for four or five years, and I wanted to transfer you back to Beijing earlier, I'm afraid there will be a delay for a while because of my business."

"You don't have to worry about me, Marshal. I'm just a rough old man. It's the same everywhere." Feng Ping waved his hand and changed the subject, "Besides, there have been constant bandits in Liaodong these years. Although most of them were beaten to hide in the ravine, but There are always a few restless ones. The gang that attacked the commander-in-chief a few days ago was taken to my old place, but the bandit leader was drugged and killed. So far, nothing is useful. There are also new moves."

When Pei Jin heard the words, she subconsciously turned her ear to listen carefully.

"The secret agent I sent to investigate came back and said that a group of bandits in Daqingshan had changed a few days ago, and it is very likely that they have connected with the Russians. Their transaction must involve arms, but the details need to be further investigated."

Pei Jin asked, "What is the background of the Daqingshan group? Are they related to local officials?"

Feng Pingdao, "The commander-in-chief made a good guess. The bandit leader Liang Kun is related to Zhang Qian, the newly promoted assistant leader of the Ning'an Mansion. The commander-in-chief should have heard about Zhang Qian, and he is about to marry Cao Xun's sister-in-law. The family has become an in-law, Cao Xun intentionally arranged for this guy to come here, I'm afraid it's..."

"He's here to spy on me, to get a big ticket." Pei Jin said, narrowing his eyes calmly, "Maybe the bandits will bombard the yamen of the General Administration, anyway, I won't be safe."

Feng Ping frowned, and stood up abruptly, "I will first send three thousand elite soldiers to guard the commander, and then bring three heavy artillery pieces, the commander might as well strike first..."

Pei Jin clicked his tongue, and pressed his hand again patiently, "Old Feng, I accept your wish, but the military law and discipline are in place, and I have no right to order your soldiers, and I have no right to command them, so don't stay here." It's time for someone to find an excuse to deal with you."

Fengping was speechless for a while, and said unwillingly for a while, "Then I can always help suppress the bandits."

Pei Jin took the time to spare, and advised him to stay calm and not to be impatient, "Bandit, let me deal with a few thieves, and I'll pass the time as if I have nothing to do. But I really need your help." Well, I don't have enough manpower, and I can't count on those recruits who don't know where to recruit. I want Liang Kun and others' specific plans. Since they have support behind them, it won't be a small fight. The Russians don't see rabbits. Scattering Eagle, you won’t do small business with bandits, it must be a big arms business, I need to know the details.”

Feng Ping thought about it according to the situation, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "If they really spend their money, you will be in danger, Commander."

"Not only am I in danger, but the people of Ning'an Mansion are also in danger." Pei Jin's jaw line was a little tense, and he said almost solemnly, "The people's livelihood here is damaged, of course it is my dereliction of duty. We can't let them take advantage of the local people. When the time comes Need to play by ear."

Feng Ping thought for a moment and understood, "By the commander in chief, is there someone reliable who can contact Xi Zuo at this time?"

Pei Jin was slightly taken aback, his eyes dimmed for a while, and after a long time he slowly shook his head and said, "I used to have it, but now it's gone. I'm not familiar with the place here, so let me take my time."

Just as Pei Jin closed the door to meet with Feng Ping, he was also sent to the kitchen, chatted with Li Mingxiu, and looked at the medicine that was frying on the stove.

"I told General Feng. After all, he has met you before, but because of the third master's illness, he just pretended not to know you." Li Mingxiu was a little hot from the fire, fanning his cattail fan and said, "I hope you don't What happens can make him safe and secure, without worrying about it. I have seen how he has lived for so many years. He has not had a few good nights of sleep. He is fighting outside, and he knows to eat often without thinking about it. I can't even take care of it. This consumes all the previous foundation, I have lost too much inside, and my body is full of old injuries, I am afraid that I will be sick sooner or later."

But the tree wants to be quiet and the wind keeps blowing, so it is unlikely that the enemy will be idle, so he thought to himself, looked at the medicine jar, and asked, "What is the effect of this medicine? Did Mr. Fan say how long it will take?"

"It will take a year and a half anyway."

Li Mingxiu sighed, and said again, "I will be sixty next year, and I have spent half of my life in Pei's house. The old general has been kind to me, but seeing the next generation of brothers fight against the wall, I feel very sad. I can only take care of it with all my heart. He will only have the face to meet the old general in the future. But you boy, I really didn't expect to be so affectionate and righteous. I really made the right decision to buy you that day."

At the same time, he responded with a smile, "You are always worrying, but what about the uncle? This is the end of the matter? According to the temper of the third master, you should not let him go."

Li Mingxiu shook his head hesitantly, "It's only because of my wife that I can't help him. The third master knows in his heart that even if he repays the debt for his mother. Don't look at the third master's vigorous and resolute behavior, but he is not very ruthless when it comes to family affection. When he was young My heart and mind are all about my parents. When I arrived, I was not cared about by others. It was so easy to restore the relationship between mother and child, but it was still thousands of miles away. He didn't explain clearly about the uncle, but I know that if he has any unruly thoughts, he will never There will be no mercy."

This person is affectionate, that's why he heard the news of his "death", and was blinded by the shock.At the same time, I sometimes wonder how many emotions are lurking in Pei Jin's exquisite heart, and how many grievances and grievances he bears, but there is no one to confide in, so that he has to show a face of indifference all the time.

"What about you, what are your plans?" Li Mingxiu turned his head and said earnestly, "The overall situation is the most important thing these days, so I have to wrong you, but if he is not good all the time, you just continue to serve him without a name ?”

It is said that there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, so what about people who love each other?Even if they are in love, they can't recognize each other even if they are close to Chi Chi, and they are still treated like strange servants. How many people can have the patience to persevere?

At the same time, he smiled lightly, "He is kind to me, so let's repay him."

It's not that he hasn't thought about how to get along with each other, but what he wants is not to repay the kindness.Pei Jin said, it's not a matter of day and night for a lifetime to grow up.And what he wants to give Pei Jin is a chance to get to know himself again—they have changed their minds, and he firmly believes that he has enough patience to be able to be like Pei Jin who cared for him tenderly, never leaving and never abandoning each other.

When Feng Ping left, the medicine was fried and almost dried.At the same time, he personally brought it over, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Pei Jin wrinkled his nose, and his face looked not so good-looking.

Pei Jin stood up slowly, with his hands behind his back, and "turned a blind eye" to the medicine and Tongze. The room was not big, and he was already familiar with the furnishings, so he strolled towards the bird cage like a leisurely stroll.

At the same time, he looked at his back, resisted the urge to laugh, and reminded him very annoyingly, "Third Master, it's time to take the medicine, it's better to drink it while it's hot."

Pei Jin didn't stop on his feet, but he really couldn't walk very fast, "Well, isn't it still steaming, wait a little longer."

At the same time, he lowered his head and smiled, leaned towards him, half-stretched his hands to support him.

Pei Jin is not willing to let people get close, and he knows this well.But I can't tell if it's because of Duanxiu's heart, or because Pei Jin has never had much trust in him, or because he has too much self-esteem. Although he is inconvenient to move, he can't allow others to take care of him like a blind man.

At the same time, he didn't talk too much nonsense, and just whispered in his ear, "Today, there are candied fruit, freshly pickled by the cook, and it tastes good."

Pei Jin is fond of sweets, and when he heard this eyebrow move, "It's the one who beat Mrs. Zhang who sold salt to death, don't put sugar and salt in the wrong place."

Tong smiled and said no, "I've tasted it, and it's sweet enough. Come on, eat a candied fruit after drinking, and make sure you don't leave a bitter taste in your mouth."

Pei Jin groaned, he held his sleeves, and took a few steps back in a daze, when suddenly the smell of bitter medicine rushed into his nostrils, presumably the bowl of medicine had already been presented to him.

It can't be seen that he doesn't like to talk at ordinary times, and he can be quite annoying when it's critical. The face of this "stranger" in front of him appeared in Pei Jin's mind. He could only conceive it through his voice, and that face was naturally rough. The crooked melon and cracked jujube look, it seems that this is the only way to complement that voice.

Pei Hou was repeatedly reminded by teachers from all walks of life since he was a child, and he must remember not to judge people by their appearance. Later, he tried his best to implement this point when it came to military affairs and government affairs, but he was still very picky about the people around him.When he thought that he was so unworthy, and that the person who served him close to him was an ugly rough man, he suddenly felt a sense of sadness that a hairless phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken.

Pinching his nose and drinking all the medicine, Pei Jin's eyebrows were no longer eyebrows and eyes were no longer eyes. Fortunately, at the same time, he gave him a mouthful of sweet and greasy pickled fruit at the same time, which finally calmed him down a little.

"I remember that you are a native of Ning'an. Has your banditry been rampant?" Pei Jin asked after wiping the corners of his mouth clean.

At the same time, he was packing up the bowls, took them out and handed them to the guards in the hallway, then turned around and replied, "There are quite a few, and they would go down the mountain to plunder from time to time, the bandits come and go so fast, often even the officers and soldiers can't do anything about it."

"There is always a way, but it's just a question of whether you want to think about it."

At the same time, seeing Pei Jin leaning on the couch, looking leisurely, but inadvertently speaking, it seemed that in an instant, he had regained his former wisdom and ability, and he couldn't help but smile in front of him, feeling the tip of his tongue slightly With some sweetness.

"The living environment here is not good. It is not as good as inside the pass. It is not easy for ordinary people to survive."

"Aren't you living a good life? Yes, the bandits are robbing rich families. Your family is poor, and the bandits look down on you." Pei Jin rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "Your official language is really good, but you don't have a local accent at all. .”

At the same time, his heart skipped a beat, this guy's sharpness was caught off guard, he thought about Li Mingxiu's fabricated family background, and then whispered, "My mother is from Kyoto, and she was originally an official lady. She came here to elope with my father. Yes, I learned Mandarin from her."

Pei Jin raised her eyebrows, "It's admirable to be courageous for the sake of love." He suddenly stopped, and after a long time, he added with a half-smile, "It's enviable."

After saying that, he staggered up and went to teach the starling to recite poems again.

At the same time, he had just brewed up a lot of words, and planned to get close to him, but he didn't have time to let go. Seeing the back of this "dandy", he couldn't help but get a little angry. In the afternoon, Pei Jin took a nap, and after washing, he heard someone Holding a small clock, shaking it in his ear.

Pei Jin tilted his head, "Listen to the sound to tell the time? I don't have this function."

Similarly, "..."

He also has to have this talent, his imagination is pretty good, and he pursed his lips and said with a smile, "The clock time is not accurate, and no one can repair it right now. Will the third master know how to repair it?"

This time it was Pei Jin's turn to be speechless. Looking over for a long time, his eyes clearly seemed to be "looking" at a stupid person, with a little bit of pity, "I know you admire me very much. Although you can't bear to hit me, you have to be honest. To be honest, I’m not omnipotent! I can’t see with my eyes, and it’s impossible to repair my watch no matter what, and I can’t tell which line is wrong just by hearing the sound.”

At the same time, he chose to ignore his shameless arrogance, and continued, "I'm in charge of dismantling, telling the third master which part looks like, where is it, maybe it can be repaired, let's try it."

Pei Jin loves machinery very much, but at the same time, he also wants to know how far he can go, not to mention dismantling clocks and watches, which is better than him pulling a bird to recite poems that don't follow the next sentence.

Pei Jin's interest that had been lurking for a long time was really aroused by him, and the two of them sat next to each other, and began to tinker with the unfortunate clock that was actually nothing wrong with it.

Soon, the person who disassembled a table of parts found that they couldn’t install them. The same guy was not a mechanical enthusiast. Looking at a pile of nuts, screws, and springs made his eyes dizzy. There is no big deal with the people around him.Turning his head to look at Pei Jin's side face, his eyes swept over, and he felt that this person was really good-looking, even thin and delicate and tasteful.

Feeling fluttering in his heart, a turbulent current flowed under his lower abdomen. At this moment, Pei Jin probably felt that his movements were slow, and he couldn't help touching his paws, so that he was touching the back of Tong Ze's hand. superior.

It's quite smooth, much more delicate than a finger full of calluses. Pei Jin pressed it for a while, and suddenly a thought flashed through him, and then he realized something was wrong. Why doesn't this person know how to hide?The consciousness of the broken sleeve surged up appropriately, and he withdrew his hand slowly, blinking his eyes unconsciously.

The speed with which the hand was withdrawn was too fast, so fast that it was a bit abrupt, which actually made it even more obvious that there was no silver here.

However, Tong didn't have such a complicated thought, and his whole body would be stiff. He looked at Pei Jin in a daze, and recalled that he hadn't held his hand for more than half a year. Crazy swept up again, longing was mixed with indescribable surging passion, making his eyes instantly filled with a misty ambiguity.
