i am afraid

"What? What did you say about His Royal Highness Prince Chen?" Pei Yue felt that he hadn't heard clearly. They were the ones who won the battle, so how could it be Jiang Ling who died in the end?

The messenger soldier's face was stained with blood, and he couldn't see the original color anymore. He whimpered and said: "General, it's true. We fought near the royal court that day. The third prince of the Huns handed in the letter of surrender. Your Highness will I took people to the royal court, and suddenly out of nowhere appeared an army of Huns whose number was several times larger than ours, and surrounded us. We managed to escape with more than a dozen people, and then His Highness disappeared..."

Pei Yue almost picked up the messenger with his hands, and said, "Say it again? Who's dead?"

The summoner said sadly: "General, Your Highness, he really... the front line is important, and now the Xiongnu army has begun to regroup, and there is no one guarding Mobei, and people are panicking, General!"

Pei Yue let go of the messenger and took a step back, his eyes were bloodshot.

The summoner took a step forward and knelt down on the ground, as if he wanted to say something, but Pei Yue didn't want to listen. He waved his hand and motioned him to go down. Too many things happened today, and he needed to discuss it with his father.

"Be careful!" A familiar female voice sounded behind him, and Pei Yue immediately felt a burst of force coming from behind him. The vigilance he had cultivated on the battlefield for many years made him quickly fly away, and the change of sight also allowed him to see the gun in the messenger's hand. dagger.

Pei Yue kicked the man away, and then looked at Princess Changxuan who rushed over. He didn't suspect anything. The assassination level of this man was not good at all. Gave him an opportunity, "Changxuan, you go back home first, don't let others know what happened today."

When Princess Changxuan knew that this was not the time to be capricious, he said decisively: "Okay, cousin, you have to be careful, I think that person just now has evil intentions, and the news that came may not be true. Sixth uncle, Ji Ren It has its own appearance."

Pei Yue opened the corners of his mouth to her and showed a forced smile. It's okay to deceive outsiders, but he has been in Mobei for a long time, how could he not know that the Mobei Army is strict with the messengers, and even the messengers are sent out? The problem, the rest, he dared not think about it.

Probably knowing that he would not live long, the messenger struggled and shouted: "General Pei, our third prince asked me to tell you another sentence, 17 old, weak and remnant soldiers and Zuo Xianwang, it is worth exchanging Jiang Ling's life! "

Pei Yue kicked the messenger soldier on the chest, kicking him to death, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.He had no idea that the Huns would be so ruthless. It's not that he didn't think that there would be problems in the smooth battle all the way, but at that juncture they entered the tent of King Zuo Xian of the Huns and directly captured Zuo Xian The king and his five sons, Zuo Xian of the Huns, were more vigilant than the crown prince, so he relaxed his vigilance, but he didn't expect that it was all a bureaucracy!

Who would have thought that 10,000+ casualties were just to kill one person?The population of the Xiongnu is small, and the total number is only 40 million. 10,000+ old, weak and remnant soldiers are light.

Pei Yue was speechless, and it took him a long time to remember that he was going to discuss this with his father, and his steps were a little staggering.

The army entered the palace, and the situation basically settled down. After them, King Qin's troops also followed, and the Beiling army took control of the capital.

Mr. Pei looks kind and honest, but he is actually very shrewd. The relationship between the Pei family and the princes is not very good. If you want to maintain their status after the new emperor ascends the throne, you will naturally want Prince Chen to ascend the throne. If he is here, it will be easy , the dragon robe emperor crowned body, the country can change hands at any time, but he is not there, it is the best choice to control the king first.

When Pei Yue arrived, both King Qin and King Rui were there, and the Chengtian Hall was lit early, making people dizzy. King Qin, with a dark face that couldn't be darker, was clapping the table with Mr. Pei, King Rui smiled a little coldly, obviously not very happy.

"Father's imperial edict says Lao Qi, so it doesn't count. We Ming people don't say dark words, Lao Liu wants to be emperor, why doesn't he come back? Well, he is busy, one month, two months, one year For two years, this king can wait, but I am waiting to see how many years the people in this world can wait for His Royal Highness Chen Wang!"

"What do you mean by your lord?" Mr. Pei pretended not to understand, "Your majesty handed over the power to the sixth prince, the holy will is clear! Now that the front line is tight, if you insist on your highness coming back over this matter, then why not?" Okay?"

King Qin was so angry that his liver hurt, he refused to talk to Mr. Pei, and took a sip of the tea on the table.

King Rui smiled, and took the words, "Master Hou, you saved the lives of my fourth brother and fifth younger brother, so of course you can do whatever you want, but the country can't last a day..."

"The old minister dare not, how can the old minister do what he says? You can do what you say."

Mr. Pei got a headache when he heard King Rui's words. He also picked up the tea on the table, and refused to talk to King Rui as if the old god was there.

Not afraid of thousands of troops, but afraid of local hooligans, he is such a rascal, even if King Rui has the best temper, he will be offended, not to mention the phoenix son and dragon grandson, who has no temper?He immediately turned cold and stopped talking.

Pei Yue came in at this time, his face was unreasonably pale, but no matter how flustered he was, he knew that this matter should not be known to others, so he turned his attention to his father.

"Father, come out, I have something to tell you."

His attitude was too serious, and his expression was not good. Mr. Pei's heart skipped a beat. The person sent to search for his nephew and niece hadn't returned yet. He thought something happened to Changxuan and Xiaoyan, so he stood up immediately.

But obviously, Qin Wangrui also thinks so, Qin Wangdao: "Is there anything that can't be said here? Is it Chengyuan..."

Pei Yue didn't answer King Qin, he just glanced at his father to confirm that he was following, then slowly turned and walked out.

Telling all the soldiers to retreat, Pei Yue found an empty palace room, his expression gradually calmed down, he turned around, his eyes were facing his father's face.

Compared with the grief of Jiang Ling's passing, what he needs to think about is the situation of the Pei family. The tree is big and the prestige of the Pei family is too high in the army. There are too many people who want to pull them off and replace them. Although the king is unconscious The Pei family has already offended King Qin and King Rui to death. These two people are obviously not mediocre. If King Qin or King Rui are allowed to succeed, maybe a hundred years later, there will be no one in this world. There is no Pei family anymore.

Pei Yue made up his mind, and he calmed down a lot when he was talking to Mr. Pei. There was a cold, almost crazy edge in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Father, we have so many soldiers in our hands. Ma, as long as we control the Southeast Army, we can do whatever we want when the time comes."

"Snapped!"

With a loud slap, Mr. Pei's hand hadn't been put down yet, and he was already trembling with anger. He hated iron and steel and said, "You want to rebel? Who gave you the courage to make you rebel?"

Pei Yue's cheeks slowly became red and swollen, but he smiled, with a strange look in his eyes: "Father, I'm not saying otherwise, we can find a helpless child in the royal family, let him sit on the throne, let him Slowly, treating the Pei family as a confidant, isn't that all right?"

What he said sounded nice, but in fact, he was still determined and wanted to find a puppet that could be controlled. Mr. Pei was so angry that he stretched out his hand and slapped Pei Yue again. Now both sides of his face were swollen, and he looked a little funny , but obviously neither of them was in the mood to laugh.

"Put your mind away as soon as possible! The Pei family has been loyal for four generations, and it is absolutely impossible to do such a deceitful thing!"

Pei Yue blinked, and stopped mentioning the matter, but said: "That's all up to you, are you going to explain it to the King of Qin like this? Tell them directly that His Royal Highness the King Chen is dead?"

Mr. Pei gave him a hard look: "It's not too late, the army is on the way, you take the people back to Mobei first, and leave the matter here to my father."

"Do you wait for me to come back, no, maybe before I come back, you can see the imperial envoy of the new emperor, and take the imperial decree to ask me to hand over the military power?" Pei Yue smiled, bringing the wounds on both sides of his cheeks, he gently Hissed.

Mr. Pei slapped Pei Yue hard again: "Nizi! Tell me, what are you going to do?"

"It's not what I want to do! It's what you want to do! Don't forget what happened back then. Neither King Qin nor King Rui can ascend to the throne! The Pei family cannot fall!" Pei Yue suddenly raised his head, met his father's eyes, His eyes were sharp, and there was almost an unstoppable ray of light.

Mr. Pei also seemed to recall the matter of offending several princes by following behind the crown prince, his tone became much calmer.

"Besides them, isn't there the fourth prince, the fifth prince?" he said.

Pei Yue sneered and said: "Father, don't forget, they have a mother clan. Do you want the children of the Pei family to lead horses and kicks for those things in the future, flattering them back and forth?"

The children of the Pei family have long been used to the fact that one person is under one person and over ten thousand people, not to mention how many people they have offended, they will not be retaliated against, so it is difficult to understand.

Mr. Pei stopped talking. After a long time, he stood up and said, "Give me some time to think about it."

Seeing that his father was moved, Pei Yue also eased his expression, and said: "The situation in Mobei is still unclear, I need to go back as soon as possible, no matter what you decide, please do it as soon as possible."

Mr. Pei took a deep breath, turned around and walked out.Pei Yue was behind him, touching his red and swollen cheeks, but a smile slowly formed on the corner of his mouth.
