My Cousin is So Weak

Chapter 253 Returning to Xijing, all obstacles are clear

"Hello, uncle."

"Want to go out?"

"Um."

"Go to Hanwang's Mansion."

"right."

"Then go early and come back early. Let's have breakfast and then set off."

"good."

The conversation between the two was concise and to the point, without much emotion. To Su Sheng, Pei Zicheng was certainly no stranger, but to Pei Zicheng, Su Sheng was indeed not very familiar with him, so naturally he only had the face of a relative when dealing with him. , without the enthusiasm of relatives.

He got on his horse and went straight to the Han Palace.

Su Sheng looked at his figure that quickly disappeared into the alleyway and couldn't help but smile. The brat was really a cold-faced man.

But when I think about it, I still personally direct the servants to move things, as if he is the manager of the family, with good intentions.

There was the clatter of horse hoofs, and when Pei Zifeng arrived at the gate of Prince Han's Mansion, the boy had just opened the corner door, and there was a slave who came out to buy something, and he happened to meet him.

Pei Zisu is now a popular person in Hanzhou. No one is happy to see him. Therefore, men, women, old and young alike can't help but raise the corners of their mouths when they see him. The person in charge there immediately came forward and asked.

"Young General, do you want to see the prince?"

"Yes, it's just too early. I can wait in the front hall until the prince wakes up."

"Yes, yes, I will send you in first, and then send someone to the prince's yard to report. The prince is not a sleepy man on weekdays. Maybe he has gotten up now."

The steward didn't tell lies. After so many years, Pei Zifeng still knew the Hanwang's routine very well. He rarely got drunk. Even if he drank a little too much the night before, he would still keep the habit of getting up early the next day.

When the two of them were walking to the front hall, they happened to meet the maid next to the Crown Princess in the corridor. The maid Pei Zifeng didn't have much impression, but the person in charge recognized her and asked with a smile.

"Where are you going, girl? But what orders does the Crown Princess have?"

"My servant has seen General Pei. The imperial concubine is feeling a little unwell, so she wants to ask the doctor to take a look."

"In that case, let's not delay the girl."

The steward was polite, and the people around the Crown Princess were also polite. They saluted and said hello and then left. When leaving, Pei Zichen looked back at the maid, his eyes paused for a moment, and he had other thoughts in his mind.

The front hall was quickly reached, and Pei Zifeng was very familiar with it.

The maid served tea and refreshments and then left first. Pei Zifeng was the only one waiting in the entire front hall. He put his hands behind his hands and looked at everything familiar. He didn't even have time for a cup of tea when someone came to invite him to the martial arts training ground.

Sure enough, the king of Han had already stood up.

Taking three steps and two steps at a time, he wanted to see the King of Han quickly, and at this moment, the King of Han also wanted to see him quickly. After all, he did not "catch" Pei Zisu at yesterday's celebration banquet. Today, of course, he There are countless things to say.

Therefore, as soon as the two met, Pei Zisu had just cupped his fists and saluted and said "I have met the prince" when the King of Han was already standing on the martial arts field and said to him with a smile.

"Come up here and try a few moves with me. Let me see how much you have improved?"

Hearing this, Pei Zisu was not polite. He jumped up on the spot and went to the martial arts training ground. Then without saying a word, he went straight to the King of Han. His strikes were fast and accurate, without holding back at all. When the King of Han faced him, he walked briskly and dodged in time. Although he was a bit old, it could be seen that he was not frivolous, but more solid.

After the two of them had gone through hundreds of moves, Pei Zifeng's advantage became apparent.

The King of Han was defeated steadily, and he almost fell off the stage. If Pei Zifang hadn't grabbed him in time, he would have fallen on his back. When he stood up, the King of Han laughed a few times and said happily .

"It's been a long time since I've fought so happily. You're the only one in the entire Hanzhou who would sincerely engage in a close combat with me, and you are the only one who dares to knock me down."

"Your Majesty has wronged the general, but you are still on stage."

When Pei Zifeng said this with a smile, he did not regard the King of Han as a prince, but as an elder of his family. With a somewhat joking expression, the King of Han also followed his temperament, stepped forward and patted his shoulder and asked.

"Have you had breakfast?"

"No."

"Then let's go and spend some time with this king."

"As commanded."

The two of them had been playing for a while early in the morning, and naturally they were sweating a little. Fortunately, there was no mist or frost in the weather in early April, so after a brief wash, the two of them began to sit down and use it. breakfast.

Pei Zifeng didn't know how other princes ate, but it was well known that the King of Han was never extravagant.

Two plates of side dishes, two large plates of dumplings, and a bowl of hot porridge.

This was the breakfast that the King of Han was used to. Today, because of Pei Zifan's arrival, he had the same breakfast. He ate it with gusto, and there was no reason why he couldn't finish it.

Pei Zifan gulped down the hot porridge first, and after watching the King of Han eat more than half of the dumplings, he slowly spoke out the purpose of his visit today.

The King of Han was not surprised that Pei Zisu was going to Xijing City, but he did not agree with his resignation and retreat into seclusion.

"The name is always a talisman. Xijing City is not Hanzhou. The emperor is suspicious by nature. If you lose this official position, I'm afraid he will find a way to deal with you. With the official position, saving your life will not be a problem. You must want to Are you ready?"

"Think about it. The general told you a long time ago that the Pei family only joined the army to protect the country and did not want to fight for anything. If I return to Beijing to disarm and return to the fields, and raise me as an idler, I think their Less fear , but if I hold those official positions, sooner or later, they will force me to fight against the prince, and I will never want to, so resigning is the only way to preserve my loyalty to the prince and my family. "

When the King of Han heard this, he sighed slightly.

"You don't have to go."

These words fell lightly on Pei Zifan's ears, containing endless meanings.

Indeed, according to his current military exploits, the rewards will definitely not be small, and the victory of the Southern Tang Dynasty is only a superficial glory for Xijing City, but it is a real benefit to Hanzhou.

It means that the power of the King of Han has expanded several times at once, but it will take some time to integrate. If he stays in Hanzhou, then Pei Zifeng will become the most important right-hand man of the King of Han. It is conceivable that he will have great power.

But the King of Han did not force him. One was because of the friendship between him and Pei Zisu over the years, and the other was because the Southern Tang Dynasty had just been conquered. Outsiders naturally thought that he and Pei Zisu were inseparable. Letting him go north now was a disguised form. Breaking down the duo’s performance.

He and Hanzhou need time to recuperate and reach a more integrated state, and Xijing City also hopes that the two of them will separate. In this way, the danger will be greatly reduced, so no matter from which aspect, Pei Zifan returns to Xijing City at this moment. An optimal choice.

The King of Han will not stop him.

I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival~~~
