Dianxia Qingcheng

Li Wu personally went out of the city gate to greet him, along with several other officials from Anli City.

In front of everyone, Pei Zheng didn't have a good face, he led Qi Changyi all the way, and entered the city gate with a cold face.

Li Wu arranged for them to stay in an extremely luxurious place, and said that at night, he would clean up Mr. Pei and arrange a banquet.

After everyone left, Qi Changyi sat on the stool in the room, looking as if he was angry.

"What's the matter, I'm so angry," Pei Zheng pinched his pouting cheeks, "Who provoked you? Huh? I'll vent your anger on you."

Qi Changyi looked up at Pei Zheng.

"You, you provoked me."

Pei Zheng thought it was funny, so he also sat next to him, stretched out his leg and hooked Qi Changyi's stool in front of him.

"I was wrong, I apologize to you, don't be angry, okay?"

Pei Zheng didn't know what mistake he had made, but there was nothing wrong with admitting his mistake first and having a good attitude.

Qi Changyi put on a serious face, "Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"

Pei Zheng leaned closer to him and lowered his voice, "My heart said, that's where I went wrong."

He moved closer, almost touching the little man's lips.

With a finger on his lips, Qi Changyi's eyes turned red.

"That Mr. Li is not willing to save those people outside, and he still lies, you still trust him so much, and you still want to go to his banquet, I don't want to go, I don't like him, I don't want to go to the banquet, you go."

After speaking, Qi Changyi lifted his stool and was about to sit aside, but Pei Zheng firmly held the stool in place.

It turned out that he was angry with himself.

Pei Zheng smiled, how could he not be able to see things that this little man could see.

It's just that the situation is so turbulent now, Anli City is already far above the emperor, and it seems that the officials and dignitaries in the whole city have already twisted into a rope, trying to establish themselves in this troubled world.

Since Li Wu dared to throw a banquet, Pei Zheng naturally dared to go to the banquet. Maybe it was not just a simple banquet.

It was a bit troublesome to explain all this to Qi Changyi, but Pei Zheng still explained it to him patiently for a long time.

In the end, Qi Changyi seemed to understand a little bit, pulled Pei Zheng's sleeve, looked into his eyes and asked, "Really? Can you really save those people outside the city? Isn't it a lie? "

Pei Zheng touched his hair, "Really, I said, I won't lie to you again."

Qi Changyi thought for a while, then nodded, "Alright then, I'll go to the banquet with you."

At night, several guards came to invite Pei Zheng and Qi Changyi to the banquet, and Chengfeng followed them all the time.

Outside the banquet hall, this is a more luxurious place. Several exquisite ancient buildings are connected together. The lights are bright and brilliant, and the sound of silk and bamboo from inside can be faintly heard.

Where there is any dilapidation during the war, it is clearly the extravagance of singing and dancing.

After a few people climbed the stairs of the ancient building, a few dignitaries from the city happened to come from the opposite side. They all brought their families with them, and they were dressed brightly, as if they were going to a grand wedding banquet.

When those people arrived at the entrance, they were stopped by the guards. After checking that they were not carrying weapons, they were allowed to enter.

Pei Zheng and the others also walked to the door, and there was a noise from inside. The noise was so loud that it caused a headache. Qi Changyi frowned slightly, as if he didn't want to go in, so Pei Zheng squeezed his little hand quietly. .

The guards also stopped the two of them and wanted to search them.

When a guard's hand was about to reach out to Qi Changyi's shoulder, Qi Changyi shrank behind Pei Zheng in fear.

Without Pei Zheng's hands, Chengfeng's scabbard behind him blocked the guard.

"Master, you go in first, and the subordinates will come later."

Pei Zheng said indifferently, "Don't make a big commotion," and then led Qi Changyi into the door.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Li Wu greeted him immediately.

"Master Pei is here, and some of us are welcome from far away, but Mr. Pei also came to our small town in person, which really makes the lower officials panic."

Pei Zheng smiled, "I see that Mr. Li has no fear, but he is very contented in this city."

Li Wugan laughed twice.

There was a fearless dignitary next to him who didn't even stand up, sat on his seat, and said in a strange way, "This Mr. Pei who came from afar, should follow the customs of the country. Since he has come to our city, he is a visitor." , If there is any place where the hospitality is not good, please forgive me, Mr. Pei, after all, this is not a good time, everyone can't protect themselves, so how can we entertain any guests."

Li Wu's face suddenly changed, "Hahaha, Mr. Pei, Mr. Sun's words don't mean anything else, so don't think too much about it, please take a seat."

Li Wu wanted to lure Pei Zheng to take his seat, but Pei Zheng directly stroked his arm, looked at the sitting Master Sun from a distance, and smiled.

Pei Zheng didn't speak, but the old man Sun panicked when he saw it, but now that there are so many people here, and he is a prominent figure in the city, he must not lose face.

Not only did he look back, but he also looked up and down at Qi Changyi who was standing beside Pei Zheng.

Qi Changyi noticed his gaze and felt uncomfortable, took Pei Zheng's hand, leaned on Pei Zheng's shoulder and complained in a low voice, "He, he stared at me

Pei Zheng looked sideways to comfort the little man beside him, "Whoever dares to stare at you, I'll have his eyes gouged out."

Seeing that the two of them behaved intimately, that old master Sun said loudly, "I didn't expect that the people in this imperial capital are different. Look at Mr. Pei, there are beauties by your side wherever you go."

He blinked deliberately, pretending to be surprised and said, "Oh no, no, it's not a "beauty", it turned out to be a little prince, but it's all the same."

Sure enough, a few people laughed along with them. These people may have never been to the Imperial City in their entire lives. In their perception, Anli City is the most prosperous city in the world. They are the dignitaries of this city, so they are naturally countable figures.

Strong dragons do not overwhelm local snakes, no matter where this powerful Mr. Pei is from, when he arrives in Anli City, he still has to obey their arrangements everywhere.

But Li Wu understood Pei Zheng, and he was the only one who became extremely ugly after hearing Master Sun's words. Unfortunately, the short-sighted people around him couldn't understand the hints in his eyes at all.

How could it be ordinary people who could be by Pei Zheng's side, but none of the people present had ever seen the prince, so naturally they didn't know Qi Changyi's identity.

And Pei Zheng didn't intend to tell them.

It just so happened that Chengfeng had already returned. He was outside just now, not only packed up the few guards at the door and threw them downstairs, but also packed up and threw away all the guards who were watching around the ancient building.

"Hey, go and sit over there first."

Pei Zheng whispered to Qi Changyi, "I'll be right over."

Qi Changyi let go of his hand, and said uneasy, "Then you have to come here quickly."

"Okay," Pei Zheng patted his little head, "Go obediently."

Qi Changyi followed Chengfeng to the side seat, sat cross-legged obediently, and then looked at Pei Zheng without blinking.

Li Wuxiao smoothed things over, "Master Pei, don't be angry, listen to me first, Mr. Sun," Li Wu said in a low voice, "It's rich to be rich, but it doesn't matter. Don't get acquainted with him."

Then Li Wu walked up to Mr. Sun again, and the two of them muttered something for some reason, but Mr. Sun's eyes changed when he saw Pei Zheng.

After the two finished talking, Master Sun took the initiative to apologize to Pei Zheng, saying that he had been reckless just now, and also apologized to Qi Changyi, saying that he should not have said that about him, but Qi Changyi turned his head away, I don't even bother to look at Master Sun.

Master Sun handed Pei Zheng a glass of wine, "Master Pei, I respect you with this glass of wine."

Pei Zheng took the wine glass, but he didn't take it out. Instead, he poured all the wine from the glass on Master Sun's head.

Mr. Sun's face was full of drunkenness, his hair was all messed up, and he was so embarrassed that his face also turned livid. He pointed at Pei Zheng's nose and yelled loudly.

"I apologize to you with good intentions. If Master Li hadn't persuaded me, I don't care who you are, Master Pei or not. I am the richest man in the city here, you know! There are many people who want to come to the city, and those refugees outside Who doesn't want to come in? Letting you in is already enough to give you face, and you're not letting you pay the city fee, you're still slapping your nose, aren't you!"

Pei Zheng didn't listen to what he said, but he clearly heard the words "city entry fee".

"Refugees who want to enter the city have to pay an entry fee first?" Pei Zheng's eyes were cold and cold, and he really started to get angry.

Master Sun said confidently, "Of course! If you don't pay the money, can you come in for free? How can there be such a good thing in the world!"

Pei Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "You guys are very smart to distribute this war money. But the laws of the Celestial Dynasty say that Kaesong accepting refugees in times of war is a matter of course. Who gave you the right to dare to do so? Income city fees?"

In the last few words, the tone is so cold that it makes people panic.

That Master Sun was being pushed hard step by step, he had already been pushed to the edge of the wall, he could retreat, and in front of him was Pei Zheng with a gloomy expression.

Li Wu shook his head anxiously, this Master Sun is really capable of doing bad things, how could he bring out such a big thing, he really can't stand the provocation.

Pei Zheng looked down at Master Sun, "Tell me, how much did you charge?"

Now Master Sun knew he would hesitate and stop talking.

Pei Zhengyang took a porcelain bowl on the table next to him, crushed it with a "bang" on the wall, and then held a piece of broken porcelain against Master Sun's eyes, only a few inches away from his eyeballs.

"Do not say?"

Pei Zheng smiled and said softly, "How did you look at him with these eyes just now? How about digging out one first."

Just as the tile was about to go in, Mr. Sun cried out suddenly.

"I said, I said, everyone has to pay 20 taels"

The tile didn't stop, it cut Master Sun's eyelid, and blood gushed out all at once.

Pei Zheng asked word by word, "20 taels per person?"

"To be precise, it is 20 taels per person per day"

Pei Zheng couldn't control the strength of his men any longer, and he really stuck the broken porcelain into the eyeball.
