Let me eat a soft meal

"Pei Liulang looking for me?" The boy's voice contained a hint of a smile.

A red four-legged white horse came in silently from the dense forest under the moonlight. Ye Xuan pushed aside the branches that blocked his view, turned over and dismounted neatly, and glanced over the bonfire. The party caught everything, even the accompanying eunuchs.

Although they couldn't tell who it was, but now they were lying on the ground so silently, and they didn't know whether Pei Liulang's drug was too high-grade, or they were directly beaten and passed out.

Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze, and pulled Xie Yushu off the horse who was still surprised and didn't react.

Pei Cheng was taken aback by the two people's sudden rush. After seeing clearly that it was Ye Xuan, his anger rushed directly to his forehead. He slammed the skewer in his hand and kicked away the servants who stood in front of him, "Deng Deng Deng "Come forward.

Ye Xuan thought that he was coming to threaten or frame him from embarrassment, and he was ready to deal with it. Unexpectedly, when Pei Cheng opened his mouth, he scolded directly, "Ye Xuan, are you crazy!"

"The deep mountains and wild forests are deeper and the dew is heavier. You dare to run outside on a horse? Do you know that there were thirteen cases of wild beasts hurting people on this mountain last year, and three of them could not be found with corpses? Why did the farmers in the mountains They all moved to the bottom of the mountain, why are the houses above all empty, why do hunters and pilgrims come here occasionally, why do you have to fence this place, don’t you think about it?!"

"How dare you run out on a horse alone? It's a colt!" Pei Cheng pointed at Mei Hua, who was a little angry, and said viciously, "You don't want to die?!"

Ye Xuan listened to him jumping out one after another, raising his eyebrows in surprise and lowering his eyes to look at the young man in front of him—yes, Ye Xuan discovered it when he was in the palace. Although Pei Liulang was a little older than him, He was only as tall as his eyebrows, not to mention the tallest and fattest fourth prince among the princes.

Moreover, Pei Liulang still has a baby face, with a little flesh on his cheeks, and he is well-raised, but he is usually fierce, so remember that he is arrogant and arrogant.

Ye Xuan looked at the dwarf with a funny face, "You dare to beat up the prince, why are you afraid that I will die outside?"

"Is that the same?" Pei Cheng rolled his eyes at him, "I calculated that they would fight an eye for an eye. Even if they knew it, they would not dare to make a fuss to His Majesty without solid evidence. To catch me means that I am uneducated at best, but if a prince disappears in my territory and is attacked, and makes a fuss in front of His Majesty, not only will I have to set it up, but all of my Pei family will have to be dragged in to be buried with him!"

The more Pei Liulang said, the more ugly his face became, he gritted his teeth and turned his head, suddenly remembered something, his face changed again, "No, where is that little eunuch I met in the forest before?"

The servant didn't know, so, "What little eunuch?"

Ye Xuan knew who he was talking about, and said with a smile, "Don't look for him, he's not here."

The servant was a little dissatisfied, but Pei Cheng kicked him to the ground directly, with a stern look on his face, "If you tie up some people, you can still miss something, a bunch of waste, they eat for nothing, and go back to find the steward to receive punishment on their own."

The servants all bowed their heads and obediently obeyed the orders and prohibitions, and none of them said anything more.

Xie Yushu couldn't help but take another look, and couldn't help but think about the Pei family a little more, and planned to ask his father and two brothers about it when he went home.

After Pei Cheng lost his temper, he returned to his dandyish appearance, sitting on the floor foolishly, without even waving his hands, someone immediately squatted down and grilled the meat for him.

Ye Xuan took Xie Yushu to sit there, and the servant brought over two plates of meat, as well as cut tree branches for skewering the meat, and some ingredients on a plate.

Ye Xuan could tell that these meats were all fresh, with a slight smell of blood, they were brought out from the house by the servants, obviously there was food prepared here.

However, Pei Cheng hid, and then found an excuse to trick them into the dense forest, and then knocked them all unconscious, and tied them up in sacks.

Ye Xuan looked at the flames and was thinking. Over there, Xie Yushu had already roasted two skewers, brushed the sauce, and gave him one skewer.

Ye Xuan took a bite, spit out the meat immediately, and took Xie Yushu's hand, "Don't eat it, it's mixed with medicine."

Xie Yushu was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Pei Sheng with a horrified expression.

Pei Cheng's mouth was full of meat, and he was surprised while chewing, and even applauded, "Amazing, you can actually eat it?"

"..." Ye Xuan didn't want to say at all, Tai'an had put this in his bath water.

He didn't know what kind of herbal medicine it was, and he didn't know its name. He only knew that if it was accidentally put in his mouth, it would make people feel tired, and he didn't know how to fall asleep.

Obviously, Pei Sheng used this drug for the fourth prince and his party.

Ye Xuan checked the things in front of him one by one, and found that there was a faint herbal smell in a dish of sauce, so he picked up Pei Sheng's dish of sauce to check again.

Pei Sheng said, "Don't look at it, I have it too."

Ye Xuan sniffed, and sure enough there was.

"You don't practice martial arts, why do you eat this?" Ye Xuan could tell that Pei Sheng's footsteps were flimsy, he had never dabbled in both internal and external martial arts, and he was a person who knew no martial arts.

He even began to wonder if the entire Pei family used this thing to feed the younger generation, just like the legendary Miao Jiang poison man who made a hundred poisons invulnerable.

Pei Cheng saw what he was thinking, and said speechlessly, "Although there are indeed quite a few martial arts practitioners in my family, and there are also one or two fools who yearn for the Jianghu, but we are ordinary people, and we will not make such crazy things as eating herbs for food." things."

"Oh?" Both Ye Xuan and Xie Yushu looked at him with interest.

Pei Cheng didn't want to say this, he just said vaguely, "It's delicious to make sauce", then lowered his head sullenly and continued to roast the meat.

There was a bit of wind, the leaves rustled, and there seemed to be some unusual movements faintly. Xie Yushu glanced among the trees, but saw nothing.

Ye Xuan looked at the untied sacks behind him, and laughed, "Pei Liulang is upright, so you're not afraid of me suing?"

"You ordered me to kill you if you dare to sue me." Pei Cheng was not afraid at all.

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and said deliberately, "Do you think my father will believe you?"

"That's not it?"

Pei Cheng patted his thighs, and smiled foolishly, "How do you think Young Master, the No. Well, let’s talk about the Zhengyanghou family—oh, you probably haven’t seen him before, he angered General Feng Luo earlier, he got two legs broken, and became a useless person.”

"When this person was active in the capital a few years ago, he bullied men and women, forced women into prostitution, beat and killed a sixty-year-old man in the street, and carried the corpses of servants from his yard to mass graves in the middle of the night. It can be said that he committed all kinds of crimes. "

"I think I was a bit reckless and arrogant when I paraded my horse through the street and bumped into Xie Xiang's frame, but I never caused trouble. It's been a long time since I was able to become the number one rich man in Kyoto for an ordinary person like me. image of!"

Pei Cheng was triumphant, "Master, I'm notoriously brainless and loyal, and I've been used as a knife so much, everyone will sigh for being stupid."

"It's like this. I said that I was used by others to beat the fourth prince. Why doesn't your majesty believe me?"

"..." Ye Xuan was amused by his expression, and said, "It's the first time I've seen someone so complacent about being called stupid."

Xie Yushu also had helplessness on his face. He watched Pei Cheng's sudden change in reaction, and patted the back of Ye Xuan's hand to make him restrain himself a little.

Although Pei Cheng's face was a bit ugly, his tone was quite normal, "I have my own calculations in my heart when others say other people's things. Anyway, people who gossip behind my back and use me will not end well."

Ye Xuan probably figured out why this person was so unscrupulous.

But he couldn't help laughing under his breath.

"Pei Liulang, you probably don't know because you're not in the palace. I'm naturally timid and weak, and I usually don't dare to speak louder than my fourth brother." Ye Xuan said, His usual pitiful expression appeared on his face.

Pei Cheng's eyes widened, and his first reaction was: "Impossible!"

"You dare to ride a horse and commit murder in front of the palace gate today!" Pei Sheng pointed at him angrily.

Xie Yushu didn't know this happened, he took a meal of the meat that was being roasted in his hand, and looked at the person involved.

Ye Xuan pushed Pei Cheng's fingers away, and took out the available sauces one by one, and said innocently, "It was just an accident."

"How could it be an accident, you stepped on it so accurately, my back is still aching!"

Facing Pei Cheng's identification, Ye Xuan was not in a hurry, but whispered to Xie Yushu, "Yushu knows that Meihualuo is a fierce horse with a strong temperament. She went crazy in the palace and hurt my sixth sister before. Yushu arrived in time, and the consequences were disastrous."

Pei Cheng was dumbfounded.

The sixth princess, Ye Ling, although Pei Cheng had never been in the harem before, he knew the rumors about the two princesses in the palace. The third princess was strong in martial arts, brave like a man, and the sixth princess was unruly and willful, domineering like a man.

That horse has a criminal record, and when leaving the palace, Ye Xuan deliberately emphasized twice that it is a strong horse.

Pei Sheng had a bad feeling.

Xie Yushu couldn't help but think of the day when Mei Hualuo went crazy.

He went late and only caught up with the falling horse, so he didn't know what happened. He asked Jiang He, but Jiang He said something about Ye Ling's dissatisfaction. Definitely his doing.

Xie Yushu's face was full of helplessness, he hated these conspiracies and tricks, but he couldn't blame Ye Xuan in his heart, instead he felt sorry for him.

Most of the princes and daughters in the palace grew up pampered, just like the fourth prince and sixth princess. Even the eighth prince is loved by his mother, Li Mei. Let alone the second prince, His Royal Highness was born with much attention, and his mother is expensive. As the fourth concubine, she has to suffer all kinds of grievances.

Xie Yushu knew that it was all his means to protect himself, so it was difficult for him to feel disgust and hatred.

He felt more and more that His Highness the Seventh Prince was living a hard life and wanted to treat him better.

Ye Xuan's self-analysis surprised Pei Cheng.

Pei Cheng was so frightened that his flesh fell off, and he stammered and put on an air, "You, you, what do you want?!"

"Let me tell you, if you want to threaten the Pei family with this matter, it's useless. My Pei family is all men, and I will never compromise because of myself!"

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Master Pei misunderstood, I don't intend to threaten you with this matter."

"As you said, this matter has broken the sky. As long as the Pei family is still useful, you will at best be characterized as a dandy who can't be educated. You will be punished twice, and you will make me enemies for nothing. Why should I?"

"You... really think so?" Pei Cheng looked at him incredulously, and asked tentatively, "Then what do you mean?"

Ye Xuan looked around.

Pei Cheng clearly dismissed all the servants.

"I heard what Pei Liulang meant just now. Did he intend to pretend that they fell into the hunter's trap?"

Ye Xuan lowered his voice, "Pei Liulang should know that besides my elder brother, the most powerful contenders for the crown prince are my fourth brother and fifth brother. These two are not good at patience, but my fifth brother is more simple. , forget things quickly, but my fourth brother is not, even though my fourth brother is huge in stature, but his mind is extremely small."

"Your method is too deliberate. The fourth prince is not an incomparably stupid person, and there are countless capable people behind him. There are always a few who can guess that it is you."

Ye Xuan chuckled, "He can't fight you back on the surface, but it's always okay to trip you up behind the scenes."

Pei Cheng frowned slowly: It's not that he didn't know that this method was deliberate, but he never thought of hiding anything. As long as no one gets the evidence and he bites to death and refuses to admit it, the matter will have nothing to do with it.

But if, as Ye Xuan said, the fourth prince intends to trip him up from other places...

But it is annoying.

Pei Cheng touched his chin, with a troubled expression on his face, "What good idea do you have?"

"I don't have a good idea, but I think Yushu must have a good idea." Ye Xuan turned to look at Xie Yushu who was grilling meat.

Xie Yushu was very famous in Beijing, Pei Cheng didn't recognize him when he dismounted from the horse at first, but when he saw the bonfire, it was impossible for him not to recognize him.

It's just that Pei Cheng knew that Xie's family was a pure imperial faction, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he simply pretended not to see it, but he was scruples after all, that's why he had to deal with it for so long and didn't have much reservation to tell the whole story.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan noticed his attitude and took the initiative to tie Xie Yushu to the rope. Pei Cheng was relieved.

Xie Yushu glanced at Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan winked at him flatteringly, Xie Yushu showed a helpless smile.

From the moment he got off the horse and figured things out, he knew that he would definitely not be able to stay out of the matter. If he was going to be a middleman, he might be envied by the two parties, so he might as well take the initiative in his own hands.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded gently, "I do have an idea."

……

After Fu Er finished speaking, Pei Cheng was amazed, and looked at Xie Sanlang's gentle face full of meaning, "Unexpectedly, among us, Brother Xie is the smartest."

It sounds smart, but it sounds bad.

Xie Yushu was still as humble as a banished celestial being, and he wasn't annoyed by what he said. The gentle curves of his eyebrows and eyes remained unchanged, and he was still steadily brushing the barbecue with oil and sauce.

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and pulled his attention back, "What do you think of Pei Liulang?"

"Of course that's good. Everyone is tied to a rope. Naturally, no one dares to betray, and no one will know who the mastermind is. It's just..."

Pei Cheng was a little embarrassed, "The servants around me were specially given to me by my father. They are loyal and they are all familiar faces. I'm afraid I can't hide them, but I don't worry about using strangers."

"It's simple."

Before Ye Xuan finished speaking, he heard the rustling of leaves, and a ghostly figure appeared behind Pei Cheng.

Xie Yushu slightly opened his eyes, a little surprised and uncertain.

Ye Xuan directly introduced, "The man behind you is named Tai'an, he has some tricks, maybe he can help us hide the truth."

"What Tai'an?" Pei Cheng turned his head for no reason, almost frightened to death by the silent figure behind him, his pupils shrank and trembled in fright, he backed up with all four limbs, and almost fell into the fire.

Tai'an reached out to grab him, and lifted him up by the collar of his clothes.

"Be careful." He turned around and put the person back in the original position, then walked to the side and sat down, and said with a blank expression, "It's okay to change your face."

When Pei Cheng heard this, he couldn't care less about being afraid, and immediately leaned over, his eyes full of curiosity, "You know how to disguise? The kind of disguise that is supernatural in the world in the story book? The kind that uses human skin?"

"..." Tai'an choked out two words, "No."

Tai'an's face-changing did not use human skin, but took a brush and applied some women's makeup powder, and in minutes, he turned that flattering servant into a sallow, emaciated and gloomy killer.

Obviously the facial features are still the same facial features, but the whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes from appearance to temperament.

Pei Cheng, who was disappointed at first, yelled "Wow", and followed Tai'an in a desperate manner, watching him put on everyone's makeup.

Tai'an: "..."

Xie Yushu couldn't help but said, "Tai'an seems a little cramped?"

Ye Xuan blinked, "He has no expression on his face, how did you see that?"

But he didn't deny it.

Xie Yushu smiled and said, "He understands better than you."

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows, "It's hard for me to understand?"

"Yes." Xie Yushu looked at him, "Sometimes I don't know whether your words are true or not, or maybe every word of yours is true but every word is false."

Ye Xuan was noncommittal, but said, "Yushu, you just need to remember that you are very important to me, this sentence is true."

Xie Yushu frowned, stretched out his hand to stroke his head, and nodded seriously, "Okay."
