Naturally, Qin Zong couldn't think of an answer, but Qin Rong and Li Mingyue understood: it turned out that Pei Huan hadn't arrived, but his son led the army.

However, is the opponent an enemy or a friend?

Although they knew about their son's friendship with Pei Qin, Qin and Li were still vigilant at this moment.

On the contrary, it was Qin Zong.In his opinion, if Pei's army was really hostile, Lu Qing would not act like this.What's more, he didn't believe what he knew about the other party during the Su Mingyuan case. Today, when Yin Xuan's atrocities spread all over the world, Lu Qing led his troops here to support the court.

Although he didn't sleep all night, but at this moment, his eyes were bright, he pulled the rein, and ran forward alone.

Qin Rong and his wife couldn't wait, they each took a deep breath, and hurriedly assembled the army, followed closely behind.

At this time, Qin Zong and Pei Qin were already very close.

He called out, "Hello—how are you here?"

Pei Qin smiled and replied, "I'm here to help out."

Qin Zong believed this, but he still asked: "With such a large army going out, why don't the cities along the way stop you?"

Pei Qin couldn't help laughing, and said, "Why stop me?" After saying that, he actually took something out of the horse's bag and threw it to Qin Zong.

Qin Zongyang took it with his hand, and let out a "huh".

That turned out to be an imperial decree.

He had a premonition in his heart.Unfolding it, the content was exactly as he thought.

It turned out that Zhang Tao's expectation just now was not wrong.The reason why Pei Qin appeared was because the Southwest Army accepted the imperial court's orders and wanted to stop the Qin family's army here!

However, Pei Qin——

Qin Zong raised his head and looked at the young man not far away.

Xi Guang softened the slightly sharp and cold contours of Pei Qin's cheeks, and he still looked the same as when the two first met in Jiangnan.

Qin Zong thought to himself, he knew the answer.

Still, he had to ask, "What does that mean?"

"It means," Pei Qin laughed softly, "the emperor wants you and my two families to fight each other, and at the same time remove his serious troubles. I am stupid to agree!"

If Yin Xuan really belonged to Mingjun, no, even if he was just an ordinary emperor who didn't do so many absurd acts, the Pei family would obey orders when they received this decree.

But he is not.

The reason why the Qin family was forced to rebel has already spread throughout the country, and naturally it was also spread to Yunnan.Knowing that the young general of the Qin family was threatened by him and almost entered the harem, and after he escaped by chance, he still did not let Yin Xuan off.When he was betrayed by the old troops in the border town, the little general couldn't take it anymore, stabbed the betrayer to death, and then rose again, the Pei family only felt sad.

On the one hand, loyal ministers and good generals have to rebel, and on the other hand, the fatuous emperor cannot tolerate loyalty and goodness.In the eyes of Pei Huan and his son, this is not even a choice.

However, without this will, most of them would stay in the southwest.At most, Pei Qin would come forward and lead a small group of elite soldiers to go north secretly to help his friends.Instead of bringing the army here in the open and aboveboard like it is now.

"It's a pity." Pei Qin looked around and saw that a battle had just ended here, "I seem to be late."

Qin Zong smiled and said, "Where is the 'late'? Since you came, it is a great thing. It just so happens that our army has just seized food, grass and wine from the imperial army, and is about to hold a banquet." It is a tradition that has existed in the military since ancient times, "You join with your army, and it is a good time to welcome the wind!"

Pei Qin smiled slightly and replied, "Okay."

This scene was seen by the Qin family couple. They felt relieved, looked at each other, and smiled at the same time.

On that day, the Pei family army entered the city together with the Qin family army.However, the two sides are strangers after all.The generals of Pei's army left with Qin Zong, while the people below found a place that did not overlap with Qin's army, and took a rest temporarily.

As for Qin Zong and Pei Qin, when the others were still hesitating and not knowing how to arrange for the little general of the Pei family, Pei Qin had already asked directly: "Ah Zong, I have traveled all the way, and I am also tired. Sleep in one room. Let's talk about the rest after waking up, how about it?"

Qin Zong readily agreed: "Okay."

The two left happily ever after.When you come to the house, you have to take off your clothes before going to sleep.Among them, it is unavoidable to take off the weapons on the body.

Seeing Qin Zong put the dagger he had given him on the table, Pei Qin's eyes lighted up slightly, and said with a smile, "So you have always carried it with you."

Qin Zong glanced at him with a calm expression.However, Pei Qin had already stretched out his hand on his own initiative, and untied the dagger that Qin Zong gave him in return from his arm.

The corners of Qin Zong's lips curled up, and he smiled charmingly.

Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, at this moment, they seem to have returned to the small courtyard where they took care of Jiao Qin together.

Since it is a small courtyard, after Pei Qin handed over the main room to Jiao Qin, the two of them could only squeeze into a side room together.It is true that at that time they always had to take time off to rest, so as not to find out that Jiao Qin's injury had worsened in time.But after all, it is a friendship that has slept in the same bed, and no one thinks it is wrong to sleep together again at this moment.

Although sleepy, before falling asleep, they still talked about the past.

The topic cannot be avoided in the case of Su Mingyuan.Pei Qin left Beijing earlier, so he asked, "How is Jiao Qin doing after that?"

Qin Zong thought about it for a moment, and replied: "Yomo is still in prison."

Although Jiao Qin himself was an important witness in Su Mingyuan's case, he was also an accomplice to Fang Shun's bullying of men and women in the past.His merit in testifying cannot be offset by past mistakes.After the Su Mingyuan case ended, he went to jail.

From Qin Zong's point of view, this person really deserved it.But his sister was indeed innocent.

Pei Qin thought the same way, and said, "Then Miss Paner..."

Qin Zong said: "This is something unexpected."

Pei Qin looked at him, and Qin Zong spoke eloquently.

The Li family where Pan'er went to work was Li Mingyue's natal family.After Qin Zong returned to Beijing, the two sides still exchanged letters frequently.

Aunt Li mentioned in her letter to the Qin family that the new maid who came in front of her family seemed to have something to do with the Su Mingyuan case.The words were quite disturbed, not because he was worried that his family would be involved, but because he was worried about whether something would happen to Pan'er.

After the letters came back and forth, and after the Qin family's reply that "the case of Su Mingyuan has already been settled, don't worry", the Li family felt relieved.When Pan'er is mentioned later, there are only a few words.Simply put, this is indeed a smart and clever girl.It turned out that Aunt Li saw that she could read and write, so she took her with her when collecting the bill.At the back, Pan'er quickly showed her clever mind.With Aunt Li's free support, she has been able to independently solve the situation of several shops.

Pei Qin smiled and said, "This is a good thing."

Qin Zong also nodded with a smile.

The two fell asleep.When I woke up, it was already dusk.

When Qin Zong opened his eyes, there was no other person on the bed.

He woke up yawning, and instead of seeing Qin Zong in the courtyard, he saw Zhao Yong, Hu Yu and others.

Qin Zong's heart trembled, he quickly stepped forward and asked about their situation.

Zhao Yong had a look of hatred on his face, and said: "I thought before that people who can do such things will not treat the people leniently! But I still underestimated that kid surnamed Zhang."

Qin Zong asked: "Uncle Zhao, what's the matter?"

Hearing his words, Hu Yu next to him showed a faint unbearable expression on his face.Zhao Yong let out a long sigh, and finally said: "They drove people into the mountains and put them under guard. It was just that the things they looted from the city were not distributed to the people, but they were left to starve like that."

Hu Yu added: "Fortunately, it's spring now, and it's only as cold as the previous two months. Otherwise, I really don't know what the situation will be."

Zhao Yong disagreed, saying: "Even in spring, it's still cold at night. It's not like you haven't seen someone wearing only a thin piece of clothing to keep their children warm. Besides, they were killed by wild animals in the mountains. The ones that were carried away, the ones that disappeared immediately after rolling off the cliff, the ones that had a high fever for several days after being injured..."

Following his words, Qin Zong's heart kept arousing.To the back, blurted out: "How are these people doing now?"

Hu Yu gave him a reassuring look: "We counted the number of injured people and are already giving them wound medicine. For those who disappeared, elite soldiers were also sent to search for them in the mountains."

Qin Zong let out a breath slowly.But he also knew that after this indiscriminate disaster, parents would still lose their children, and children would lose their parents.

He was feeling heavy when he suddenly heard Zhao Yong and the two of them speak and asked: "By the way, we just came back and just entered the city. It seems that we saw another army?"

Qin Zong blinked his eyes, regained his senses, and replied, "Yes, it's Pei Jiajun."

Come on, let me explain.However, he gradually realized that he didn't seem to be able to fully understand what Zhao and Yong said.

For example, Zhao Yong clapped his palms and smiled: "I'm just talking! When I met my sister-in-law, how did she tell me about the little general of the Pei family? At that time, I was going to open a warehouse to get the medicine, and I was in a hurry, so I didn't ask in detail. Looking at it now, but There are results."

Hu Yu also sighed, and said: "Unexpectedly, one day, I will go into battle with the Pei family army."

Qin Zong didn't care about the latter's words, instead he asked Zhao Yong: "The little general of the Pei family?"

He had naturally heard of Pei Qin's name.But what does that have to do with today's situation?

Zhao Yong looked at him, as if surprised, and said: "Sister-in-law just said that you had some friendship with that little general."

Qin Zong was at a loss: "Me? Pei Qin? When did I know him?"

After the words fell, Pei Qin happened to step in from the outside.

He didn't hear what Qin Zong said before, but when he heard this sentence, he opened his mouth and said, "Ah Zong! Why don't you recognize me?"

Qin Zong slowly turned his head to look at him.Facing the young man's expression, Pei Qin's eyelids twitched, and some memories gradually came back to life.

He asked Qin Zong very uncertainly: "You know who I am, don't you?"

Qin Zong said: "Aren't you 'Lu Qing'?" Could it be that he has other identities?
