Strange Records of Xijing

The days came to the third day of junior high when Pei Jingxing was in a trance and worried about gain and loss.

In the past two days, Pei Jingxing either went out on the excuse of something, or soaked himself in the martial arts training ground, in short, it would be nice to see Su Yan less.Although Su Yan was smart, he was slow when it came to feelings, and he still hasn't gotten the hang of it - in fact, if it wasn't for Uncle Fu's words, Pei Jingxing would never have discovered that he had such feelings for Su Yan; Secondly, as the master, Pei Jingxing would not invite people to be guests and deliberately neglect him, so even though he did not show up, he specially ordered a clever little boy to accompany Su Yan, and bought a lot of gadgets for Su Yan when he came back. Derivative play, so as not to be bored.

Su Yan really thought that Pei Jingxing was making preparations for this trip to the west. In order to avoid delaying himself, he specially asked the little boy to go to Taixuan Temple, and asked Zhou Yuyi for a lot of tools to catch demons and exorcise ghosts.

On the other hand, in the second year of junior high school, Pei Huaiyu timidly came to the door with a horse-drawn New Year gift, adding some new atmosphere to the Pei family.However, he didn't say much with Su Yan, he quietly pulled Pei Jingxing into the study with his thoughts in mind, and the two cousins ​​had a deep talk.

"Cousin, I know what my aunt did." Pei Huaiyu said hesitantly, "I'm sorry."

Pei Jingxing knew about it from Su Yana, and had already guessed what Princess Minglang was doing.But he didn't care. At that time, his killing of Niu Chunhui was seen as a certainty by everyone. It was human nature for Princess Minglang not to go into this muddy water. She couldn't be said to be unkind.Moreover, if Pei Jingxing was such a small-hearted person, he would not be the current Pei Jingxing if he haggled over every detail with Pei Huaiyu over this matter and lost his brotherhood.

"Okay, New Year's Eve, be happy. You apologized and still look like this. Isn't that because I bullied you?" Pei Jingxing knew that if he said that he didn't care, according to Pei Huaiyu's soft temper, he might be more inclined In his heart, he added, "You brought a big carload of New Year's gifts, so I'll let you off this time."

As Pei Jingxing expected, when Pei Huaiyu heard the last sentence, his face that was still frowning immediately let out a sigh of relief: "It's good that my cousin doesn't get angry with my aunt. My aunt is an elder, so I can't lose face , I will make amends for my cousin. Tomorrow, I will set up a banquet in the Dukang Building, and I will ask my cousin to do me a favor."

Pei Jingxing shook his head with a smile and said, "Let's pay for the banquet first."

Pei Huaiyu became nervous again: "Is my cousin still angry?"

"You think too much." Pei Jingxing simply flicked Pei Huaiyu's head, "I have a secret order and I will leave Xijing in a few days. I shouldn't have told you about this, but since you and I are brothers, It doesn't matter if I tell you, but you must not let other people know."

When Pei Huaiyu saw that Pei Jingxing had told herself such a top-secret matter, knowing that Pei Jingxing regarded him as one of his own, he was immediately happy, and said, "don't worry, cousin, I will definitely not tell others, even Daoist Su Don't say anything!"

Seeing his happy look, Pei Jingxing still didn't tell Pei Huaiyu that Su Yan wanted to go with him.

When the crown prince fell into a coma again, the emperor finally couldn't wait any longer, and immediately sent the national teacher to issue a secret order, asking Pei Jingxing and Su Yan to pack up their things and set off in the early morning of the fourth day.

In the early morning of the fourth day of the lunar new year, a low-key carriage stopped at the back door of Pei's mansion. After Pei Jingxing and Su Yan got into the carriage, they found that besides the national teacher, there were actually two people sitting in it - Gao Zekai and Zhao Shimin.

"Why is this person here?" Before Pei Jingxing could speak, Zhao Shimin, who was sitting inside, was the first to couldn't help it, pointing at Su Yan and asking.

"Your Majesty naturally has his concerns." The national teacher didn't even look at Zhao Shimin, and used the name of the emperor to suppress him. Instead, he said to Pei Jingxing and Su Yan, "Time is running out, please sit down."

As he said that, the national teacher clapped his hands, and the coachman outside got the order, and immediately drove the carriage to the city gate west of Xijing.

"Everyone, this time His Majesty asked you to go to the ancient city of the Western Regions to find treasures to rescue the Crown Prince. I know that some of you have mutual grievances, but the matter is related to the life and death of the Crown Prince. Now is not the time for you to mess around." The national teacher pointed out bluntly. In the tense atmosphere between Pei Jingxing and Zhao Shimin, each of them beat each other with a big stick, "Zhao Shimin, Your Majesty still remembers what you and Zhu Zhiwen did. Your father has already retired. If you can't get back the treasure this time , but no one can protect you anymore. Pei Jingxing, Zhao Shimin was the last person who stayed with the prince back then, and you will inevitably take him with you when you go to the ancient city of the Western Regions."

Pei Jingxing didn't answer, he simply leaned against the wall of the carriage, closed his eyes and meditated.

As for Zhao Shimin, ever since his father was forced to resign from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice, he has been in fear all day long, for fear that one day the emperor will punish him.Now he listened to the meaning of the national teacher's words, it seems that if he succeeds this time, the emperor will let the past go, and immediately stated: "National teacher, don't worry, I will definitely bring that treasure back."

Although the national teacher looked down on Zhao Shimin from the bottom of his heart, but he was about to leave, so as not to lose his momentum first, he smiled and said: "Naturally, Your Majesty and I are waiting for your good news."

After dealing with Zhao Shimin, the national teacher focused on Pei Jingxing's "stab".

"Pei Street Envoy, Your Majesty has issued a secret decree to General Zhang of the Northwest Military Camp. He will help you find the whereabouts of the ancient city of the Western Regions during this period. You may not know this driver. His name is Huang Shi. He was originally a hundred in the Northwest Military Camp. Sir, I am quite familiar with the terrain of the Western Regions, but it is a pity that I retired due to injuries. I heard that there are large areas of desert in the Western Regions. Bringing him along is an extra guarantee."

Pei Jingxing opened his eyes: "Since he retired due to injury, wouldn't it be a burden to bring him?"

The national teacher smiled and shook his head and said: "His injury is not serious, but it is not small, but every time the moon is full, he will go crazy. As long as you tie him up every night when the moon is full, nothing serious will happen."

Pei Jingxing originally thought that this man's retirement due to injury was due to physical trauma, such as injuries to important parts such as knees, which made him unable to fight for a long time, but he did not expect it to be such a strange problem.

The national teacher saw Pei Jingxing's surprise, and shook his head again: "A good general, Miaozi, has to leave the battlefield because of such a strange disease. Envoy Pei, please don't mention this matter in front of Huangshi."

Of course Pei Jingxing understood this feeling. Because he was stimulated in the ancient city and harassed by a monster all the way from the Western Regions, he almost wanted to raise his sword and commit suicide.Because of this psychological trauma, he had no choice but to retreat from the battlefield and become a Jinwu Guard, rejecting anyone's advances in an almost ruthless way to protect himself.If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet Su Yan, he might still be living the tense and upside-down life before.

People are always cautious about unknown things, wise and safe, Pei Jingxing can imagine how many people looked at Huangshi with disgust and fear because of this strange disease.

Thinking of this, the idea of ​​continuing to sing against the national teacher was put down.

Seeing this, the national teacher said: "The ancient city is a holy place for a small tribe in the Western Regions. I don't know the specific situation inside. But I got something a few days ago and gave it to Zekai. When you arrive at the ancient city Afterwards, Zekai will naturally guide you."

Zhao Shimin asked curiously: "Since the national teacher has such treasures, why should we go there?"

"You two are people who have been in that ancient city, so you are more or less familiar with the situation there. Besides, I don't know if that thing will deceive people. If you go together, it can be regarded as double insurance." The national teacher did not elaborate, Then he changed the subject, "Besides, the Holy Land is very likely to be cursed if you enter it. There may be some kind of forbidden curse inside. When you touch some mechanism, the forbidden curse will take effect. You go this time , and pay more attention to the layout inside, if you find the mechanism, let General Zhang send someone to transport it back to Xijing."

Pei Jingxing noticed that the national teacher said "transport back to Xijing" instead of "destroy on the spot", he frowned a little, but in the end he still didn't speak.

The carriage quickly left the city gate and stopped after another ten miles.

"National Teacher, we're here." Huang Shi's voice came from outside, deep and harsh, really like a stone.

The national teacher's eyes turned to the four of them one by one: "Send you a thousand miles, and you must say goodbye. I wish you all a triumphant return, and this is the farewell."

Gao Zekai, who had been silent all this time, got up suddenly: "I'll send Master down."

The master and apprentice got out of the carriage and talked for a while.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhao Shimin said "hey" twice in the direction of Pei Jingxing, and asked in a low voice: "You said, what is that thing that can lead us in the direction?"

Pei Jingxing simply closed his eyes again, holding a horizontal knife in his hand, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Zhao Shimin was shut down by Pei Jingxing, and then asked Su Yan: "Who are you? Why did His Majesty ask you to come with us?"

Su Yan went for that Zhubao toad, but he didn't understand why the emperor wanted him to follow.Although he couldn't see it, just by listening to the national teacher's words, he knew that Pei Jingxing and Zhao Shimin didn't deal with each other, and Zhao Shimin was one of the people who survived by eating the cheek meat of his colleagues in the ancient city of the Western Regions, so how could he talk to Zhao Shimin?

Zhao Shimin ate two closed doors in a row, curled his lips in disdain, and cursed secretly, "Blind man!".

Pei Jingxing's hearing was excellent, and Zhao Shimin was the only one in the carriage talking. He suddenly opened his eyes, and the horizontal knife in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath, and the sharp blade was on Zhao Shimin's neck in an instant.

Zhao Shimin was so frightened that his legs trembled and he didn't dare to move. He stiffened his neck and shouted: "Killer, murderer! National Teacher, Daoist Gao, come and save me!"

The national teacher hadn't left yet, when he heard Zhao Shimin's cries in the carriage, he frowned displeasedly and said, "Go and see what's going on."

Hearing this, Gao Zekai poked his head into the carriage and saw that Pei Jingxing had put the horizontal knife on Zhao Shimin's neck, he was a little panicked: "Mr. Pei, please stop."

However, Pei Jingxing refused to move the horizontal knife away, and instead deepened it by three inches. Zhao Shimin was so frightened that he quickly tilted his neck, and sat on the carriage seat, precariously on the verge of falling.

"Pei Street Envoy!" At this time, the national teacher also poked his head in to check the situation.

Pei Jingxing looked at Zhao Shimin coldly with a pair of eyes: "The next time you make a bad mouth again, it won't be an extra minor injury."

When Pei Jingxing put the horizontal knife into its sheath, Zhao Shimin let out a long breath. He quickly reached out and groped his neck a few times, and then put it in front of his eyes. After making sure that there was no bleeding, he collapsed on the seat.

"National teacher, look, Pei Jingxing wants to kill me before we set off. If you let me go with him, you will kill me!"

With the support of the national teacher, Zhao Shimin became more courageous and seized the time to complain to the national teacher.

Although the national teacher didn't know what happened in the carriage, he knew Pei Jingxing's character, and he wouldn't ruin a big event because of his personal feelings.

"This time the act is a secret among the secrets. If you don't keep your mouth shut, I can rest assured that Pei Street Envoy will watch over you." Zhao Shimin made some small mistakes in his words and deeds, and you don't have to use such extreme methods."

Pei Jingxing was noncommittal, but when Zhao Shimin got this sentence, it was like getting a gold medal for avoiding death. He raised his chin and squinted at Pei Jingxing triumphantly: "Did you hear that, the national teacher said, you are not allowed to do anything to me in the future."

"Heh." Pei Jingxing didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, he held the horizontal knife again and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

One likes to move his hands but not speak, and the other can't control his mouth. The national teacher has no choice but to ask Gao Zekai to pay more attention, and don't miss this action because of some trivial matters.
