The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Pei Shuo was stunned by Xu Yao's words, "Master, what do you mean by this?"

"It's just a vague worry. One is imprisoned in the White Dragon Temple, and the other is trapped in the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion. How can you save two people at the same time? Will they use your sister's matter to lure you out and then deal with your father?

Or maybe they were worried that you would go to save your father, so they used your sister's matter to delay you. You can only save one of the two people. Anyway, they will definitely leave one behind."

Pei Shuo realized that what Xu Yao meant was that they might have inferred that he appeared here to rescue the Duke of Zhenguo.

And Pei Yi is another method they use to contain him?

Save my father or save my sister.

Others watched coldly, probably thinking that there was no need to choose. Filial piety came first. She was just a daughter, so they could just abandon her.

In terms of value, the Duke of Zhenguo is more valuable. Pei Yi is just a girl who was forced to be a concubine. Her life is not in danger. Why is there any need to save her?

But if Yuan Qingzong had really investigated the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion carefully, he should have known that the Pei family members were very close, especially Pei Shuo and Pei Yi, the two siblings had a good relationship since childhood.

Pei Shuo would tell his sister almost everything, which put him in a dilemma. He couldn't figure out whether this was Pingxi Hou's intention or Liang Hongwen was taking advantage of the situation. He was sure that he would choose to save his father and sacrifice Pei Yi.

In the end, Pei Yi was left alone and could only stay with him forever.

Thinking of this, Pei Shuo felt irritated.

He suddenly smiled and said, "They think highly of me. I am just a stray dog. How can I save two people at the same time?"

The White Dragon Temple is full of traps and they don’t even have the key, so how can they rescue people?

"Master, do you find it strange? It seems that in order to catch me, they not only mobilized the Iron Guards, but also brought in people from the Yuanqing Sect. What makes them think that I have such great power that I can cause such great damage?"

Xu Yao paused, and suddenly asked him, "Your father commanded a large number of troops. After he got into trouble, did a military family like yours have some unknown private soldiers? The kind that only listens to your Pei family and doesn't even listen to the emperor's words."

Pei Shuo's eyes flickered and he shook his head, "Father never told me these things."

Xu Yao speculated: "Perhaps your father has such an army under his command. No one except you, the Pei family, knows about it. And it must be very powerful, so powerful that the whole Beichen is afraid of it, so they want to capture your father. And your arrival makes them feel like they are facing a formidable enemy. They must believe that this force is in your hands, and this is what they are afraid of."

More importantly, this group of people realized that Pei Shuo appeared in Panjing quietly, and they could not find any trace of Pei Shuo at all, which made them even more scared.

Xu Yao couldn't help but smile, not knowing what to say. Was this an unexpected surprise?

Pei Shuo also smiled bitterly, "Master, please don't discourage me. If I really had that ability, how could I have my legs broken and be sold to the slave market? I was almost killed by Yuan Qingzong. If father really had that power, how could he watch us suffer?"

Xu Yao couldn't explain it clearly, but why did the Queen Mother Beichen insist on bringing the Duke of Zhenguo to Beichen? It couldn't be that the Queen Mother Wang had always been in love with the Duke of Zhenguo and couldn't get him.

This kind of clichéd plot is outrageous just to think about it.

The master and the apprentice discussed for a long time, but they still couldn't figure out the enemy's tactics. Xu Yao thought for a while and said, "In this case, we can't follow their ideas. Let Zhuang Mu find a group of people from Jianghu and divide them into two groups. One group will go to Bailong Temple, and the other group will go to the Marquis' Mansion with you."

Pei Shuo was puzzled, "But Master, we don't have the key. Breaking into the White Dragon Temple by force won't save Dad."

He was somewhat confident that he could save his sister, but he had no confidence at all in saving his father.

Xu Yao nodded, "I know, so our goal is not to save your second sister, nor to save the Duke of Zhenguo, but to kidnap the Queen Mother in the palace."

Zhao Xi's head was buzzing when he heard this. "Are you kidding? Are you going to break into the palace? Are you crazy? Wu Sanlang is still in the palace. As soon as you step in, he will tear you into pieces."

Pei Shuo also looked at Xu Yao in disbelief: "Master, this..."

Are you crazy? He couldn't say this, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Yao said that.

Xu Yao laughed: "Do you think I'm crazy?"

"Master's plan surprises me."

"You can't imagine it, and those people certainly can't imagine it either. They only calculated that you would go to save people, either your sister or your father. But no one would expect that I would force my way into the palace to find the Queen Mother. This Queen Mother has a large number of troops under her command, and the Yuan Qingzong Iron Guards are in her hands. Whether it's Yuan Qingzong or Pingxi Hou, they all have to obey her. As long as I catch her, saving your father or your sister will be easy."

"But how can it be so easy to break into the palace? That Wu Sanlang has even killed the leader of the Yuanqing Sect."

"The more impossible it is, the more you have to try. Otherwise, can you watch your sister marry Liang Hongwen as a concubine, or watch your father be imprisoned in the White Dragon Temple for the rest of his life?"

The whereabouts of his elder sister was known, but he was not sure whether the man in the White Dragon Temple was his father.

Pei Shuo: "Why don't you just not take the risk and save my sister first. Let's go back and find a way to get the key, and then go to Bailong Temple to save people."

Xu Yao smiled and said, "I think the Marquis of Pingxi also guessed that you would do this, so he was waiting for you to fall into his trap."

"But I can't let you break into the palace. Wu Sanlang is not someone that ordinary people can deal with. Master, this is not a joke."

It’s not that he looks down on his master, it’s just that Wu Sanlang’s reputation is well known.

Pei Shuo didn't want his master to take this risk, but Xu Yao had already made up his mind and locked him in the yard to practice martial arts day and night. She had waited a little too long and was really impatient to endure it. She wanted to finish the work as soon as possible and go to bed with the money.

There is still a period of time before Liang Hongwen takes a concubine. Xu Yao trains Pei Shuo day and night, not allowing him to slack off for even a moment.

Until the last day, when the two were fighting, Pei Shuo defeated Xu Yao by one move.

Xu Yao looked at the sword that was picked up and was stunned for a moment, then he smiled with relief.

"You really have an excellent physique, you are a genius."

Pei Shuo gasped, unable to believe that he had actually done it.

He also never thought that after these few months of hard work, he would be able to defeat his master.

Xu Yao walked over, pulled up the sword on the ground, and smiled. "Don't doubt yourself. Winning is winning. There is no such thing as luck. You really did it."

Xu Yao was not trying to comfort her. On the contrary, her recent training had been more rigorous than before, and her moves were more ruthless, with each one being a practical move.

Pei Shuo's body was covered with bruises and he was in severe pain all over, so he had to apply medicine at night.

Xu Yao was about to put away his sword and said to him, "Take a good rest today. Tomorrow we will act according to the plan. Now that we have come to this point, we should move forward decisively without hesitation or hesitation."
