I have a book to play

The head was obviously freshly chopped off.

It was bloody and smelled of fresh blood.

These heads have clear facial features, and with just one glance, people can tell whether they are male or female, Han or barbarian.

Except for the fact that there is no mole on the face because of the blood, it can be clearly recognized whether it is Danfeng eyes or almond eyes.

But these are all human heads, and they have an unpleasant smell, who has the leisure to distinguish one from the other.

Sun Peng was not interested in this, even if he watched the executioner chop off the heads of this box and put it in.

"What... what does this mean?"

The barbarians turned pale with fright, and even many of the officials who were invited to participate in the banquet didn't know about it. Seeing the scene in front of them, they were all a little scared.

Sun Peng smiled, turned around and took his seat.He didn't intend to answer.When he left the capital, he wore the identity of the supervisor of the Longyou Road on his body. To put it bluntly, it was just a name, and it was not as effective as when he was in the Jiangnan East Road.

But he didn't mind it.If he wants to take advantage of the situation, he doesn't need to borrow the power of Yushitai or the Sun family. Just thanking Chen is enough for him to squander.

Therefore, it is natural for the barbarians to ask him questions, but he is just an executor, how to answer these things on behalf of the decision maker.

Xie Chen raised his eyes, and saw Sun Peng drinking with a smile on his face at a glance, and couldn't help nodding his fingers on the table.

"tasty?"

Sun Peng took a sip of wine, and the mellow wine mixed with the throat all the way down, warming his spleen and stomach: "It's delicious."

Xie Chen curved his lips into a smile, and said, "It's pretty good. It's just a pity that I can always smell a dead person."

His voice was neither soft nor heavy when he spoke.A shiver could be heard from close by, although it felt light and not very strong from a distance, but it was so close to the box of human heads, the smell of blood was disgusting.

At the banquet, no one dared to speak for a moment.

Sun Peng raised his hand and poured himself a few more glasses of wine, but he didn't drink very fast, his eyes were slightly raised, and he silently looked at the people at the banquet.

"These people were caught in a nearby village early in the morning." Xie Chen narrowed his narrow eyes and said, "When they were caught, they refused to say anything, and their mouths were very stubborn. I only thought that they would always know if they were threatening. Why do they act like this in my Dachu?"

As he spoke, the corners of his lips twitched, showing a meaningful smile: "After all, Da Chu has always had friendly exchanges with countries outside the customs, and signed a non-aggression agreement more than 20 years ago. Over the years, non-compliance has violated our Da Chu Chu Zimin's tribe, I remember being beaten to pieces and rolled away to the sky."

"Several great kings, I don't know if you may recognize them. Whose family are there?"

Even if you can recognize it, you can't recognize it at this time.

Sun Peng glanced across the table quickly by raising his head to drink. The barbarian, who was a little confused after drinking, was full of energy at this moment, with different expressions, but most of them were trembling, with a fearful look in their eyes. Looking at the scene in front of him.

"No one recognizes it?" Xie Chen took a sip of his wine slowly, "Why did I see the face patterns of the Atu tribe in it?"

The Atu people are just a nomadic group outside Dachu Pass.This ethnic group, including their king, only has more than [-] people.Most people still live a life of living by water, intermarry with people of various ethnic groups, give birth to offspring, and enjoy the gifts of heaven and earth.A small number entered Dachu Pass and became one of the barbarians today.

But whether it is the Atu tribe inside the customs or outside the customs, the easiest way to identify this tribe is to look at the patterns on their faces.

There is a human head on the top of the box, the eyebrows look rough, and the pattern tattooed by the Atu tribe since childhood is on the cheek.

It's best not to recognize it.

"You bastard!" the barbarian of the Atu tribe cursed.

He spoke the language of the Atu people, and with his tongue stuck out, he spoke words that ordinary people could not understand.Although it was only a very short sentence, judging from the tone, it didn't sound like a good word at all.

Sun Peng looked at the little official from Honglu Temple who was specially called for. The latter looked a little embarrassed and translated what the man said in a low voice.

It's cursing assholes.

I just don't know if this bastard is scolding the dead clansman in the box, or Xie Chen sitting on the seat.

Xie Chen didn't speak, and watched the group of barbarians headed by the Atu tribe tremblingly pointing at the "bastards" in the box who destroyed the diplomatic relations between the two countries, cursing and teaching well, his finger on the wine cup slightly Squeeze.

"Since it was not the original intention of the few, Gu also knows that the few of you came to my Dachu to beg for life for the sake of the people. Why don't you just find some jobs for you so that you can support the whole family. But if there are people like you They are doing such nonsense and endangering the people." Xie Chen casually scanned the crowd, "If something like that happens again, there are still more than ten such boxes in the yamen alone today, and they can't hold everyone, but a small tribe , I think it’s still enough.”

The barbarians responded repeatedly.

Xie Chen nodded in satisfaction, and without picking anyone else, ordered Pei Chu to escort everyone to eat and drink before going back.

The manor was borrowed, so naturally everything had to be arranged and returned.

Before leaving, the steward of the manor led the people below to kneel in front of Xie Chen and Sun Peng, and kowtowed heavily.

Knowing what they were thinking, Sun Peng could only sigh, stretched out his hand for a hand, and then turned around and got into the carriage.

The carriage back to the city moved slowly.

Sun Peng sat in the car, looking out through the thin window screen.Green mountains and green waters are completely different from last year's Changzhou.But who would have imagined that outside the pass separated by a city pass, there is a lush green grassland, and there are also barren and boundless sandbars.

"What are you thinking about?"

When the carriage swayed slightly, the hand on the lap was accurately held, and Sun Peng turned his head slightly, looking at Xie Chen beside him.Although the man drank slowly, he had drunk a lot after all, and the faint sandalwood scent on his body was mixed with the smell of alcohol.

Sun Peng hummed lightly: "I think about Xizhou, why no one cares about it. Is it really because there are too many bandits and they can't move?"

Xie Chen half-closed his eyes, and looked down at his tightly clasped hand: "How many people from the Pei family were guarding the border. There are many soldiers and horses in Longyou Dao. They don't recognize the governor, but only the Jiedu envoy Pei. The Pei family What he holds in his hand is a large sum of money. The Pei family has fallen, and the various forces have embezzled military power. In the end, they will naturally go their own way. As long as the border is not broken, the father will not care about anything. He is happy to let these people check and balance each other. Save him the trouble."

"Can the Pei family's case be overturned?"

Xie Chen moved the corners of his lips, and said: "Yes. The Wang family is no longer a climate, and the emperor is now letting Wang Youzhi go. As long as he is not confused, the Pei family's case will be over sooner or later."

Having said that, Sun Peng also knew in his heart that it would not be easy for Yixi and the Pei family to reverse the case.

Before he was reborn, he had personally experienced the case of the Sun family being convicted of an unwarranted crime with just a few words.

After rebirth, with the Xu family's misfortune, and those messy things, he couldn't settle down so quickly.

Thinking of this, Sun Peng stopped smiling, not knowing that the man beside him also had something in his heart.

Along the way, he remained silent, and returned to the official post in a swaying carriage.

*****

When Pei Chu came back, it was completely dark.

After eating the dishes that Xie Chen specially ordered to leave, he knocked on the door of Xie Chen's room without saying a word.

It was Sun Peng who opened the door. He smiled and called "Brother Pei", and then walked out: "Brother Pei, I'm going back to the room first, and you should go to bed early after talking."

In the room, Xie Chen was sitting in front of the table, behind which was ground ink, and on the spread out paper were the few lines he had just written.

"Cousin." Hearing Pei Chu's voice entering the room, Xie Chen stopped writing, and his eyes fell on his face, "Everyone sent away?"

"Send me off." Pei Chu nodded when he heard the words, "The people below were frightened, they sent someone to stop me on the way back just now, trying to make a point."

While speaking, Pei Chu noticed the bed in the house, the bed was slightly messy, it looked untidy, and there were faint traces of someone lying on it.

He withdrew his gaze, but still couldn't help looking there.

Xie Chen glanced out of the corner of his eyes, pointed to the stool beside him and said, "Sit down. Qilang had a nap earlier and forgot to clean up."

"I remember that His Highness didn't like to share the bed with others when he was a child, and he didn't want others to touch the things he used to sleep. My aunt said that Your Highness loves cleanliness."

"Too many things have changed in Yonghui in the past six years. No matter how Aijie entered the ancient temple in the deep mountains, she shaved her hair and gave up her home. What else can she care about?" What's more, the person who can sleep on his bed and touch his things, He even used a handful of ashes to make a bone flute and played it on his lips.

Speaking of the six years of Yonghui, Pei Chu's expression gradually changed.

"Yonghui six years." He smiled lightly and clenched his fists, "That year, no one will ever forget that year."

That year, the Empress Dowager was inexplicably ill, and Xie Chen, who was the crown prince, was forced to shave or become a monk and become a monk;

That year his father, Pei Chu, was framed by someone, and the Pei family was exiled to Xizhou because of their great military exploits, the death penalty could be spared and the living crime could not be escaped;

That year, the loving husband and wife, the Empress Yuan, was pregnant with the third prince, became a deposed empress, and was relegated to the cold palace.

Too many unexpected things happened that year.

But where are there so many accidents in this world, everything is nothing more than a well-planned conspiracy.

They were just prey that fell into the trap, and the hunters defeated them so easily without using swords, guns, swords or halberds.

"After Dad was beheaded in the capital, several uncles also fell ill one after another on the road. Grandfather died on the road. Grandmother followed after arriving in Xizhou within two days. Brothers and sisters who can grit their teeth and survive, support survived with one breath."

"In the past few years, there have been constant wars at the border. It was agreed not to invade each other, but it was just a lie. The criminals who were exiled directly acted as military households. Most of our brothers died on the battlefield."

"Last year... Third Uncle didn't survive the beginning of spring, and the cold spring is gone. Later, the news of your return to the palace was sent to Xizhou through Sun Shibo's letter. After reading the letter, Second Uncle felt relieved to go."

Xie Chen knew more or less everything Pei Chu said through the Sun family over the years.The only year when news of the Sun family was cut off was the year when Sun Xian mistakenly thought that Pei was executed in Xizhou, but wanted to keep the chastity but was threatened by Xie Zhang and had to marry into the East Palace.

After that, after the efforts of the Sun family, they got news with the Pei family in Xizhou again, only to learn that Pei Chu was not dead at all, and everything was a scam by Xie Zhang.

"So." Pei Chu looked at Xie Chen solemnly, and asked, "Your Highness, do you have the will to rule the world?"

Thick ink was dripping from the tip of the pen on the shelf, and a dark ink flower bloomed on the table.

"The Pei family hasn't fallen yet. As long as His Highness regains the crown prince, the Pei family can overturn the case."

"unnecessary."

"Your Highness..."

Xie Chen's "no need" made Pei Chu stand up abruptly.His chest was pounding, and his back was filled with chills. He was about to ask, but he heard Xie Chen say: "There is no need for the crown prince, let alone the king's rule. If the Pei family can reverse the case, everything will be settled."

Pei Chu suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Xie Chen picked up the pen and wrote a word on the paper.

"I have made a plan. Among the Xie family, I am not the only one who can be the prince and the emperor."

On the paper, it is a "scenery" character with sharp rhymes and silver hooks painted on iron.
