Beauty is sick

He didn't know how long he would stay in Youzhou, Pei Zhe planned to find a place to stay first, and was about to go to the inn in the city with Jin Lingjiu to have a look, when he met someone sent by Zhao Yuan to invite him to his residence.

Pei Zhe turned his head and exchanged a glance with Jin Lingjiu.

The visitor was clever, looked at the two of them, and said: "The young master and his friends have not yet found a place to stay in Youzhou. My master specially asked my family to invite you to stay at the mansion temporarily to discuss matters in Youzhou."

This is really dozing off and came to the pillow. Tan Hualang, who didn't want to pull out a hair, smiled: "That's so embarrassing."

The visitor cupped his hands and bowed: "My lord, don't refuse, the master has prepared some thin wine, please come with me."

Pei Zhe nodded slightly, secretly tugged at Jin Lingjiu's sleeve, and followed him.

When they arrived, Zhao Yuan was already waiting at the door, he didn't say anything about Pei Zhetuo's behavior of leading his family, and welcomed the three of them in.

Perhaps it was because Jin Lingjiu was present, he didn't bring up serious matters, and only had a meal together.Compared with the meals prepared by Zhang Yaori's mansion, this meal can be called simple, and they are all home-cooked dishes.

Both Pei Zhe and Jin Lingjiu are not picky people, as long as the food is clean.

After entering the mansion, Pei Zhe made a special observation and found that Zhao Yuan's mansion did not have too many waiters, counting the people who went to see them, he could count on one hand the number of people he saw.

From this point of view, Zhao Yuan is quite poor.

After dinner, Zhao Yuan invited Pei Zhe to go to the study to narrate, and arranged for someone to take Jin Lingjiu to the room to rest.

Zhao Yuan didn't ask, and Pei Zhe didn't introduce Jinling Jiu either.

After arriving at the study, Zhao Yuan took out a letter: "Sir, you asked me earlier if I knew the situation in Youzhou, but I actually know a little bit."

After a brief chat during the meal, Pei Zhe half-truthfully revealed some information about himself, and Zhao Yuan changed his address.

Pei Zhe raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What do you mean, my lord?"

Zhao Yuan handed him the letter: "The situation in Youzhou is complicated, and I can't explain it clearly in a few words. I have concealed something from my husband before."

Pei Zhe didn't say a word, opened the letter and looked at it, his eyes became meaningful: "Since your lord deliberately concealed it, why do you want to tell me now?"

Zhao Yuan said calmly: "People outside talk a lot, and they are afraid that something will happen."

Pei Zhe rubbed the letter paper, and did not show any abnormal reaction to his apparently perfunctory excuse: "Your Excellency told you about this, but you already have a decision in your heart?"

The letter contained detailed records about Xi's invasion in the past three months, and even included the casualties of the Youzhou Army each time.Judging from the last few times, the casualties of the Youzhou army were indeed too heavy compared to before, basically the same as the news received by Jinling Jiu.

This is all related to the situation in the army. Before Zhang Yaori died, with Zhao Yuan's ability, it was impossible to get this letter in the open.

Pei Zhe squinted his eyes, thinking of the young guard he found in the barracks, if it was him, it might be possible.

Zhao Yuan didn't know what he was thinking, and explained to himself: "Sir, I was ordered by the right minister to temporarily take over military affairs. It's fine for a short period of time, but it's always against the rules in the long run. The reason why I The purpose of handing this letter to Mister is to let Mister know that the situation in Youzhou is critical, and it is necessary to report to the Ming court as soon as possible, and if something goes wrong, even the right minister cannot bear this responsibility."

It's almost summer, the temperature is high in the afternoon, and the air is hot and dry. Only when a cool breeze blows occasionally can the heat be relieved.

Pei Zhe fan swayed even faster, barely suppressing the dryness in his heart, after parting from Zhao Yuan, he hurried to the guest room.

The guest rooms arranged by Zhao Yuan were close together, so Pei Zhe didn't go back to his own room, but went straight to Jin Lingjiu's room.

Zuo Ping was not there, Jin Lingjiu was resting on the bed, and when he heard the movement, he lazily raised his eyelids, and lay down again after seeing who was coming.

Pei Zhe didn't say hello, and went straight to the bed after entering the door: "Go inside and leave me some space."

Jin Lingjiu turned over and wrapped his arms skillfully around his waist: "I see you are in a hurry, but what is there to be happy about?"

Pei Zhe secretly smacked, happy, not necessarily, but it is indeed a good discovery: "I think Zhao Yuan and Zhang Yaori are not the same person."

Not only that, he was basically sure that Zhao Yuan had nothing to do with Prime Minister Right.Just now Zhao Yuan revealed the recent situation in Youzhou to him on the surface, but in fact he also concealed threats. He pretended to use the name of the right minister. Zhao Yuan's words were beating him. Your Majesty, let him not use the power of the Right Prime Minister to run amok.

Jin Lingjiu said "um", not surprised at all.

Pei Zhe rolled his eyes and asked curiously, "Did you find out anything before?"

Jin Lingjiu glanced at him: "Where is the news about me?"

Pei Zhe knew that he couldn't hide it from him, so he didn't deny it, and said generously: "Yes, I've thought about it, and instead of digging my brains to try it out, it's better to borrow the east wind. You and I are a family, so it's not in vain."

Jin Lingjiu nodded approvingly: "That's true, you don't need to use it for nothing, then when do you plan to use me?"

The hand on the waist increased a little bit of strength, and massaged the abdomen twice slowly.

Pei Zhe: "..."

Jin Lingjiu leaned into his ear, sighing angrily, "Isn't Jiaojiao curious at all?"

Pei Zhe: "..." Sorry, I really dare not be curious.

Across the quilt, I couldn't feel any changes in my body, and I couldn't hear anything strange from Jin Lingjiu's voice, which made Pei Zhe feel a little more at ease: "If you use it, of course it must be in the new house. Don't worry. If you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you will definitely not let you stay on the empty bed all the time."

Jinling Jiu snorted and laughed.

Pei Zhe consciously lost face, pretending to be displeased and said, "Why, don't you believe it?"

"No, I just feel a little nostalgic." He seemed to be really nostalgic, with a smile in his voice, "Jiaojiao hasn't been brave with me for a long time, and I'm happy to see your arrogant appearance, especially such self-deceiving words, Sure enough, it sounds as endearing as ever."

Pei Zhe: "..." Deceive yourself, sir!

Seeing that people were offended, the smile on Jin Lingjiu's face became even bigger, and he slowly changed the subject: "You haven't told me, how are you sure that Zhao Yuan and Zhang Yaori are not the same kind of people?

Pei Zhebai gave him a look: "He has planted people in the Youzhou army camp to monitor the movements of the Youzhou army at any time."

Jin Lingjiu paused: "He told you?"

Pei Zhe said "hmm": "Well, he didn't say it directly, I guessed it."

General Pei Zhe's discovery in the camp briefly mentioned: "On the surface, the Youzhou Army is controlled by Zhang Yaori, but I always feel that it is not that simple. Zhao Yuan's power may be much greater than what we see."

Jin Lingjiu thought for a moment, then asked: "So you suspect that there is a bigger force behind Zhao Yuan, and you want me to investigate him?"

Pei Zhe: "That's right."

He could see that Zhao Yuan's identity was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, but he didn't know how much time it would take to investigate further, so he couldn't help it now.

Jin Lingjiu nodded: "I'll have someone check it out."

Pei Zhe pressed the center of his eyebrows: "Is Wen Feiyu gone?"

"Well, I left yesterday, and your letter is on the way." Jin Lingjiu helped him massage his temples, his movements were natural, "Yun Wuyang left later, do you need someone to help you look after him? "

"No..." Pei Zhe frowned slightly, and sighed, "Forget it, just watch, in case something happens to him."

Jin Lingjiu was noncommittal, and rubbed his raised brows away: "I got up early today, so let's sleep for a while."

Pei Zhe grunted, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep.

Xi Kingdom has been attacking frequently recently, and after staying in Zhao Yuan's mansion for two days, news came from the army that the enemy army was aggressively invading.

When they arrived, the lieutenant general was leading people to resist the enemy, Zhao Yuan didn't panic at all, quickly got into the mood, and took over commanding the Youzhou army to meet the enemy.

Pei Zhe raised his eyebrows, followed behind silently, and glanced at Jin Lingjiu: Look, I'm right.

Jin Lingjiu squeezed his hand: Take your time, there is still a good show.

Pei Zhe got a little interested, and asked Jin Lingjiu to check Zhao Yuan's identity before, and there was a result, but this person didn't tell him directly, which made him feel itchy all the time.

The troops of Zhao State and Xi State were equal, Xu knew that it was impossible to break through the siege of Youzhou in one go, the enemy adopted a surprise attrition tactic, and immediately retreated after seeing the Youzhou army started to resist.

Up to now, the consumption effect of this method has been very limited.

After the Xi Kingdom retreated, Zhao Yuan and his lieutenants went to the camp to discuss matters, and asked the entrusting person to send Pei Zhe and Jin Lingjiu to a safe place.

Pei Zhe was very knowledgeable about current affairs, so he didn't insist on following, but it surprised Zhao Yuan.

Zuo Ping didn't come with him, so Jin Lingjiu poured two cups of tea by himself, "You agreed to leave just now, I guess Zhao Yuan will be suspicious."

"No." Pei Zhe was confident, "He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Before he hinted that I, Youzhou, is not a place that the right minister can control, but now he will definitely think that I am afraid."

Jin Lingjiu raised his eyebrows: "But I didn't expect to be swayed by you, tsk, he shot himself in the foot like lifting a rock."

Pei Zhe took a sip of tea: "No, it should be said that I have a strong ability to adapt to changes."

Jinling Jiu was noncommittal.

Pei Zhe put down his cup and clasped his hands: "I think I probably know which side Zhao Yuan is from. Before that, he deliberately declined in front of me and refused to intervene in the affairs of the Youzhou Army. He presumably wanted to test me."

Jin Lingjiu paused, and raised his eyelids with great interest: "Oh?"

Pei Zhe rubbed his knuckles, leaned closer, and looked directly into his eyes: "The young man in the barracks just came this year, and Zhao Yuan is very skilled in commanding the Youzhou Army... Various signs indicate that before Zhang Yaori died, Zhao Yuan is already making preparations for all this, in order to hold the Youzhou Army in his hands, but why does he know that Zhang Yaori will die soon?"

Jin Lingjiu bent his lips: "Why?"

"Because someone told him in advance." Pei Zhe said in a low voice, "Someone has planned everything and will reshuffle the power in Youzhou. Everyone is a chess piece, and their fate has already been written. "

The lowered voice sounded like he was telling a secret, and Jin Ling was very cooperative and asked, "What fate?"

Pei Zhe didn't answer but instead asked: "I only have one question, Zhang Yaori will definitely die, what about Zhao Yuan, what is Zhao Yuan's identity, and took over the military power of Youzhou?"

The sound of running could be heard outside the tent, it was the Youzhou Army that had withdrawn, Jin Lingjiu stared at him, eyes full of obsession.

Pei Zhe tilted his head slightly: "So why did you pick Zhao Yuan?"
