Beauty is sick

Late at night, the hustle and bustle gradually calmed down, and the moonlight soothed all emotions.

Pei Zhe was wearing a cloak and standing on the city wall.

It has been several months since I left the capital, and now the autumn wind is picking up, and it will be winter again soon.

There were footsteps behind him. Pei Zhe supported the city wall without turning his head, and said calmly, "I want to be alone."

"What's the meaning of being alone, let's talk about it." Lin Jingkong took a sip of wine with his wine bag, "Youzhou City is different from Huaizhou City. , no wonder no one wants to come.”

Pei Zhe glanced at him, implying: "Then what are you doing here?"

"Me? I'm here to ask for a drink." Lin Jingkong shook the wine bag in his hand, "This is the wine bag given to me by General Cheng, and I can't buy it in the pass."

The wine in Youzhou City is also different from that in Huaizhou, with a spicy and strong taste.

Pei Zhe sniffed a little bit at the tip of his nose, and couldn't help frowning: "In the middle of the night, Commander Lin didn't sleep just to drink in front of me?"

The alcohol was strong, Lin Jingkong drank it too fast, his nose turned red: "Why don't you see Mr. Jiu?"

Which pot is not open and which pot is lifted, Pei Zhe's face is cold.

Lin Jingkong glanced at him, and laughed loudly: "It's spread all over the world. I heard that Mr. Tanhua and the ninth son of the first floor of the world are married. The two risked the world's dissatisfaction and passed on a good story. How did it happen?" After more than a month, they parted ways?"

Pei Zhe glanced at him coldly: "Commander Lin and I probably don't know each other well enough to make such a joke."

Lin Jingkong chuckled, and took another sip of wine: "Could Mr. Pei be angry?"

"Whoever is ridiculed will not be happy?" Pei Zhe said calmly.

Lin Jingkong leaned on the city wall, stroking the bricks and stones with his icy fingertips blown by the wind: "It's not like a divorce letter is irretrievable, why hang your face?"

Pei Zhe was very upset: "...If Commander Lin is drunk, go back and rest, lest you accidentally fall off the tower and fall to your death."

Lin Jingkong raised his head and laughed, and suddenly said: "Master Pei, don't tell me, I really thought about whether if I jumped off the city wall, I would fall to my death."

Pei Zhe's fingertips trembled.

I always feel that Lin Jingkong is a little strange tonight, as if... I have something to tell him.

Pei Zhe had just listened to Fu Qingliu, but he was really not in the mood to continue listening to the story, so he turned around and wanted to run away.

Lin Jingkong grabbed his cloak, and said lazily, "Even if I fell to my death, I wouldn't hold Mr. Pei on my back. Why are you running?"

The chilly wind made his long hair messy. Pei Zhe had lived in the capital for many years, but he couldn't stand the wind here, and his face was shattered.

Lin Jingkong drank too much and coughed twice: "The family is ruined and the chicken feathers are scattered all over the place. Mr. Pei, if it were you, facing such a mess, would you join forces with the enemy, or would you fight to the death?"

Perhaps the wind outside the pass was too cold, which made Pei Zhe's blood cool down: "I don't choose either."

Lin Jingkong was silent for a while, then smiled: "That's right, so I didn't choose either."

His words made Pei Zhe clenched his fists: "Your mother's family is a side branch of the queen. The Yuan family controls the government. No one dares to provoke them. What kind of enemies can they have?"

Lin Jingkong's face was serious, the acrid wine made his chest ache, as if he was holding back a fire: "Master Pei, why do you think my mother's family was separated?"

His voice was cold, like a snake spitting out a letter. The cold snake letter was so poisonous that Pei Zhe lost the ability to speak.

"I heard that Mr. Pei is holding the token of the Holy Majesty, which can command the three armies. I am very curious. Are you just traveling south with the crown prince?"

As expected, there was no answer.

Lin Jingkong was not surprised at all, and continued: "The prince disappeared in Huaizhou, Mr. Pei didn't care, instead he went to Yecheng, Baihua City, and Youzhou City, and the prince was rarely mentioned along the way, so I guess, Mr. Pei is another With important tasks in mind, the prince is just a cover."

Lin Jingkong has always been smart, and Pei Zhe knows this well. It is not enough to rely on the protection of the Yuan clan to secure his position as the commander of the Huaizhou Army.

What's more, he can't say whether the Yuan clan has protected him or not.

Pei Zhe kept silent, and Lin Jingkong seemed to be talking to himself: "When I was young, I was just like Mr. Pei. I was praised for being talented and intelligent. When my family died, I already have memories. I remember my mother crying After washing my face, I said that my heart was uneasy, remembering that my father was always worried, worried about our safety, and wanted to send me away from home many times."

"But before sending me away, they left first, forever and ever."

Lin Jingkong let go of his hand, and said softly, "Master Pei, do you know why I took Yun Wuyang in?"

Pei Zhe has always been curious about this matter, Yun Wuyang couldn't tell why, what was the reason, only Lin Jingkong himself knew: "Why?"

Lin Jingkong squeezed the wine bag tightly, and his voice was like weeping blood: "Because I heard the name of Yun Wuyang's father from my father, and he said that he was ashamed of Zhongliang, so I will pay the debt for my father and want to make up for it."

The things he had heard before emerged in his mind, and Pei Zheyin felt that there should be a thread in it that could connect everything together.

He couldn't find this thread, but he had a hunch that Lin Jingkong would tell him this thread.

Pei Zhe: "Who is your father?"

"It's just a military general. It's not as good as General Yunteng's Gao Yi, and it's not as good as..." He paused, then smiled softly, with a hint of malice, "It's also not as lucky as Mr. Pei's father."

Pei Zhe's eyes widened. There was something in Lin Jingkong's words, which clearly meant that he knew his father, but how could they know each other? !

No, it is possible.

The only possibility is...

Pei Zhe was breathless, Father Pei used to work for the Prime Minister, if the relationship with Lin Jingkong's mother's family was put aside, Lin Jingkong's father would know Father Pei, it could only be because of the Prime Minister.

They must all be part of the right party.

In the blink of an eye, everything was connected, and what happened before appeared in Pei Zhe's mind.

At that time in the first floor of the world, Father Pei once mentioned that being able to save Jin Lingjiu in the desert depended on the generals he had known well.

——"...The person who was ordered to go to the desert is the same as me, and he is also unwilling to participate in the plans of the right minister, but he is not as lucky as me. He is a general. As soon as he entered the court, he came into contact with the right minister's party The most confidential matter, since then it can no longer be separated."

——"Families and relatives are all under control, and a slight change will endanger their lives. One person is not afraid of life and death, but the blood of close relatives, with nearly a hundred people in the family, how can they not care?"

If this general is none other than Lin Jingkong's father, then everything would make sense.

As soon as Lin Jingkong's father entered the court, because of Lin's mother, he came into contact with the core secrets of the right minister's party, but both of them were dissatisfied with the right minister's actions, so Pei's father was able to deal with it successfully.

They may have fought and moved out of the Yuan clan, but in the end the matter was revealed and they could not escape death after all.

Lin Jingkong was the one who was left behind.

Pei Zhe opened his mouth, and was fed a mouthful of alcohol-smelling, spicy and strong cold wind. The wind rushed into his chest and turned into a knife blade, smashing all the luck in his heart.

Lin Jingkong's voice was as heavy as a mountain, pressing on him: "My parents were too naive, thinking that they could fool that old fox, the reason why they were able to move out of the Yuan clan was not because of the success of the plan, but because , Yuan Feng needs an abandoned son, a scapegoat for killing the prince."

Lin Jingkong left.

Taking the wine pouch Cheng Guanyue gave him, leaving behind a city full of spicy and alcoholic smell.

Pei Zhe fell to the ground, leaning against the city wall, and slowly closed his eyes.

The building is about to fall, how can one person stop it?

He finally understood the meaning of Jinling's nine words.

What he bears is not his own selfishness, but the responsibility of countless people. Even if it has been buried for more than ten years, what happened back then needs to be settled.

The Winter Moon Palace Change, under Yuan's calculations and the Holy Majesty's connivance, was quietly hidden.

It was the result of the cowardice of a generation of monarchs, making it the most unspeakable secret in this country. Over the years, this secret has quietly taken root and sprouted a knife that will ruthlessly tear apart the hypocritical peace of this country.

Although it was more than ten years late, no one could stop it.

That is the revenge of the dead souls, who want to tear away all the sins and expose them to the sun.

No matter from which standpoint, from which point of view, this is justified.

After returning from the city tower, Pei Zhe fell ill with a severe fever and fell into a coma for several days. No matter what medicine he took, he did not get better.

Youzhou City is not suitable for recuperating, so Fu Qingliu made the decision and ordered Qi Xiaoweiduo to lead the imperial army and escort Pei Hui back to the capital.

The imperial army walked for half a month, and before they reached the capital, all kinds of news had already spread.

First came the news of Youzhou's crisis, followed by the Youzhou army's defeat of Xi's army, and then it was said that Mr. Tanhua tried his best to save Youzhou with a clever plan, but he was too tired to recover from his serious illness.

For a moment, the people all over the world were filled with emotion, praying for Pei Zhe to get well soon, and even the holy majesty issued an edict to seek a famous doctor in the world, and he would definitely save Master Shaoshi and reward him well.

Jinling Jiu heard the news in a teahouse in the capital. At this time, it has been nearly a month since Pei Zhe became seriously ill.

With a condensed expression on his face, he directly dropped the superior jade lamp: "What's going on, why didn't anyone tell me?!"

Zuo Ping silently picked up the fragments: "I was afraid that I would worry Master Jiu if I said it, so I kept it secret."

Jin Lingjiu's expression was ugly. In the past month, he was so busy that he didn't have time to listen to what happened outside. In order not to be distracted, he forced himself not to ask about Pei Zhe's recent situation.But he didn't expect that when he was free, the news that Pei Zhe was seriously ill would reach his ears.

He was terrified, afraid that if he was a little later, he would hear the news that Pei Zhe had died.

There were six jade lamps in a box, all of which were broken by Jinling Jiu, and the shiny pieces fell all over the ground. At first glance, one piece was shining, like a shattered moonlight.

When Mu Jiao and Wen Feiyu came, Jin Lingjiu had just finished throwing something, and his face was frighteningly gloomy.

Wen Feiyu was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to run away, but Mu Jiaoti dragged him back by slipping his collar: "Senior brother."

Jin Lingjiu's eyes were dark: "Do you know about Pei Zhe's serious illness?"

Although it was a question, his tone was very firm, as if he was sure they must know.

"I know." Mu Jiao is probably the person who is least afraid of his anger besides Pei Zhe, "It's just a fake news, can't senior see it?"

Zuo Ping frowned, and looked at her disapprovingly.

Mu Jiao waved her hand at him: "Don't clean it up, I'm thirsty to death, brother, can you ask Zuo Ping to pour me a glass of water?"

Jin Lingjiu didn't speak, Zuo Ping knew that he agreed, so he got up to pour water.

Wen Feiyu sat aside, trying to reduce his sense of presence, not even daring to look at Jin Lingjiu.

Mu Jiao secretly rolled her eyes in her heart. Back then, this man patted his chest to assure her. After repeated analysis, he said that Pei Zhe must be fine. Now that he was in front of Jin Lingjiu, he didn't even dare to fart.

Tsk, coward!

Mu Jiao looked straight at Jinling Jiu and said, "Brother, let alone whether Pei Zhe has a fever or not, can Youzhou not be able to find a doctor? Fu Qingliu is not a fool, wouldn't he not understand that bumping back and forth affects his condition?"

Jin Lingjiu took a deep breath: "What do you mean?"

"Pei Zhe is pretending to be sick." Mu Jiao said, "He needs to find an excuse to come back to the capital."

Jin Lingjiu knew in his heart that what she said was right, but still panicked, he couldn't help asking, as if he wanted to gain strength from her answer, to believe that Pei Zhe was fine: "There are so many excuses, why do you pretend to be sick? "

Mu Jiao rolled her eyes and said happily, "Then I will ask you, senior brother."

Jin Lingjiu raised his eyelids: "Ask me?"

Mu Jiao tilted her head: "Your groom wants you to worry about him. If you don't ask sister-in-law, who?"

Jinling Nine: "..."

At the beginning, he was dressed in a wedding dress, so he had more or less thought about coercing Pei Zhe to agree, but it seemed that he lost his wife and lost his army. Not only did he not eat people, but he left something for himself.

Wen Feiyu couldn't help laughing.

He couldn't connect Jin Lingjiu with his sister-in-law. Although this person's appearance was not inferior to any sister-in-law, his methods were too cruel.

Jin Lingjiu gave him a cold look, Wen Feiyu's laughter stuck in his throat, and he almost rolled off the stool.

Mu Jiao held her forehead and scolded with a smile: "Look at how promising you are!"

Wen Feiyu: "..."

Damn, neither of these senior brothers and junior sisters is a good thing!

Zuo Ping came back with two glasses of water and handed them to Mu Jiao and Jin Lingjiu respectively.

Seeing that he was being ignored, Wen Feiyu snorted dissatisfiedly: "Zuo Ping, why are there only two glasses, what about mine?"

Zuo Ping ignored him, and the only people who could serve him were Jin Lingjiu and Mu Jiao. The former was his loyalty, while the latter was his selfishness.

Jin Lingjiu had already come to his senses, and gave him a sideways glance: "Young Master Wen came to me alone, and the person who made me order is quite courageous."

Wen Feiyu shrank his neck, and begged for mercy: "That's right, you are all ancestors, I can't afford to offend you, I just shut up."

After venting his anger on Wen Feiyu, Jin Lingjiu calmed down a lot: "Where is Pei Zhe?"

Zuo Ping replied: "I will arrive in the capital in a few days."

Jin Lingjiu looked pensive, and Mu Jiao teased when she saw this: "Brother misses your husband so much, why don't you go to Master Shaoshi's mansion and wait for someone?"

Being stared at by three people, Jin Lingjiu didn't feel ashamed at all, took a sip of water, and said in a low voice, "Why not?"

Mu Jiao choked, as expected of her senior brother, she could handle this.

After Jin Lingjiu drank the water, he looked at Wen Feiyu squarely: "Does the Wen family have property in the capital? What are you doing here?"

Wen Feiyu sat up straight: "My father said that there will be great turmoil in the capital, let me learn from you."

Jin Lingjiu secretly scolded the old fox, he was eager to send someone to him, so that after it was done, he could pave a way for Wen Feiyu.

Seeing that his expression was unclear, Wen Feiyu poked secretly: "I don't need to gain too much knowledge, just follow your people."

Jin Lingjiu raised his eyebrows and saw through his mind at a glance: "How can this be possible? You came here specially. If you don't make a proper arrangement, how can I explain to Master Wen?"

Wen Feiyu was in a hurry: "No need to explain, I won't tell you if you don't tell me, he won't know anyway."

Seeing that people were being teased, Jin Lingjiu squinted his eyes and thought for a moment before letting go: "Zuo Ping, take Young Master Wen to Zhao Ziqiu, he seems to be short of people there, ask him if he would like to take Young Master Wen in." , if he is not willing, I will send him back to the Wen family."

"Yes, he's definitely willing!" Wen Feiyu jumped up from the stool, his eyes sparkling, "Don't bother Zuo Bing, I'll just go there by myself."

He ran away in a hurry, as if he was afraid that Jin Lingjiu would go back on his word.

Mu Jiao tsk-tsk: "It is said that married children are splashed with water. This Wen Feiyu has not yet married, and his elbow has been thrown out."

She blurted it out, completely oblivious to the fact that the words had poked another man's lung tube.Jinling Jiu gave her a cool look: "When I marry you off, I won't worry about it."

Mu Jiao: "..."

Jin Lingjiu rubbed his chin, glanced over the tense left screen, and said with a smile: "There are young talents everywhere in the capital, and Mu'er has his fancy. Senior brother decides to grab it for you."

Mu Jiao repeatedly begged for mercy: "I was wrong, senior brother, I will never mention your marriage again, please forgive me."

Jin Lingjiu propped his chin, raised his eyelids, and stared straight at the left screen: "The ones outside don't like it, but the ones inside the first floor of the world are fine too. What do you think of the left screen?"

"Zuo Ping, he..." Mu Jiao got stuck, and turned her head to look at Zuo Ping.

Zuo Ping's hand hanging by his side slowly tightened, and suddenly said: "Master Jiu, I'll find someone to clean up the debris on the ground."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, without waiting for Jin Lingjiu's reaction, as if fleeing in despair.

Mu Jiao didn't say a word, but stared at the door thoughtfully.

Jinling Jiuqu finger clasped the table, and sighed: "Since childhood, Master only taught you martial arts, and we are all men, and there is no sister who can talk to you. My daughter's family has something to worry about, and there is no place to talk about it." .”

Mu Jiao shook her head: "No, father and brother are very kind to me."

She knew her background, but still decided to treat Jiang Yulou as her father.

Mu Jiao has always been sensible, and she knew how to take care of Jin Lingjiu since she was a child, so he also doted on this junior sister: "I treat you well, but it may not be possible to make sure there are no omissions. Normally, when a daughter's family reaches your age, they will discuss marriage. But we Mu'er don't even know about admiration."

Mu Jiao opened her mouth, faintly feeling that there was something in his words, and said haha: "Brother thinks I'm long-winded, do you want to marry me?"

Jin Lingjiu glanced at her indifferently: "No man in the world is worthy of you. If you don't have someone you like, senior brother will protect your prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life."

Mu Jiao has a deep affection for him, and after knowing what he is planning, she still decides to help him, and with the help of old General Mu, Jin Lingjiu will definitely not wrong her.

Mu Jiao is holding on to her belt. She has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and it is inconvenient to wear gauze skirts, so she has always worn men's clothes. From a distance, she looks like a handsome young man: "Senior brother, I don't know if I like it or not. "

Jin Lingjiu raised his eyebrows.

I don't know if I like it, but it means, do you know who it is?

Mu Jiao scratched her hair: "Before in Youzhou City, I... I had a fight with him, it wasn't a fight, he wasn't angry, and I don't know what happened, I just felt that he was in a bad mood. I feel like crying just looking at him."

At this time, she finally showed some appearance of a daughter's family, and when she talked about her troubles, she seemed to be coquettish and coquettish.

Jin Lingjiu had no intention of exploring what happened, and only asked, "Is it the left screen?"

Mu Jiao stared blankly at him, her face was a little red, she nodded after a while, "How did senior brother know?"

Jin Lingjiu glanced up, and when he saw the feet retracted from the door, he shook his head: "I guessed it casually."

Mu Jiao nodded: "Senior brother has always been clever."

It’s almost winter, and Jin Lingjiu’s hands were cold, so he borrowed some heat while holding his teacup, and chuckled: “I can’t afford to be the magician, everyone says that the first person to find flowers is the magician.”

Mu Jiao's mind was full of girls' thoughts, she didn't think about it, and blurted out: "Anyway, you are a family, husband and wife can afford it."

After she finished speaking, she was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Jin Lingjiu, only to see that his brows stretched, and he showed a gentle smile: "That's right, I'm in his favor."

Mu Jiao's heart moved slightly, as if she saw what admiration and love were from him.

Zuo Ping didn't want to talk about it, and Jin Lingjiu didn't intend to intervene, it was all about their fate.

After chatting with Mu Jiao for a few words, he left.

It's too cold in winter, it's not suitable to sleep alone, Pei Zhe will come to Beijing soon, it's time for him to get ready and come to recommend a pillow mat.
