The first favorite of rebirth

A group of people rushed back to the military tent against the strong wind, and there was a commotion outside. Lin He was awakened, holding the hem of his clothes in a daze, Pei Jiqing was in a state of confusion, eager to know what happened, but dared not go out and see.

He patted Lin He on the shoulder and said, "Child, go out and have a look."

"Who do you call a child?" Lin He threw the clothes to Pei Jiqing, stood up from the carpet, and deliberately tilted his mouth and said, "Little Master, if you call me a nice one, I'll help you to see it."

Before Lin He finished speaking, he saw Pei Jiqing's absent-minded expression, and swallowed the second half of the sentence. The noise outside the tent became louder. Lin He opened the military tent and walked out, casually asking people: "What happened?"

"There's an ambush in Beicang!" The man said eagerly, "Mr. Luo asked us to help."

"What?" Pei Jiqing heard the soldiers say this, and ignored Xia Chengxi's instructions, and ran directly to the main tent with Lin He. Luo Ji was in front of the map, and suddenly saw Pei Jiqing appearing, and couldn't help frowning.

"Is there an ambush in Beicang? What is the arrangement for the ambush?" Although Pei Jiqing saw Luo Ji's displeasure, he still stepped forward to look at the map. Luo Ji frowned and stopped him, saying: "There is an ambush in Beicang, but As we expected, Xiao Yi was stopped at the main entrance first, and the general at Beicang was the Second Prince of Liao Kingdom."

"Second prince?" Pei Jiqing's face paled immediately, and the right hand holding the map couldn't help shaking. The second prince's personal conquest must be for the sake of meritorious service, and the troops he brought will definitely not be small. Jue Yun and they are going for a sneak attack, so they must be easy to follow. Isn't it very dangerous.

Just when Pei Jiqing was trying to come up with an idea, Lin He suddenly said: "What's so scary about the second prince, he's just an idiot."

Luo Ji turned his head and suddenly looked suspicious. Lin He continued to explain: "Why are you looking at me? I also heard it from others. Yelu Ergou, I have heard a lot of people talking about it."

With that said, Lin He had already buckled up his armor, he pulled open the military tent abruptly, and said, "I will also go to support, and bring Jue Yun back for you!"

Luo Ji looked at Lin He's back, and there was a trace of calmness in his expression. Pei Jiqing pondered for a moment, and said: "Beicang was attacked, and the main gate couldn't be rescued. In this way, it's not that we were ambushed, but Someone wants to kill the second prince?"

"It makes sense." Luo Ji nodded, and suddenly looked at Pei Jiqing with admiration, "But it's hard to say, since the second prince is an idiot, it doesn't rule out the possibility that he himself will go to the battlefield. Dogs are our targets for meritorious service."

Pei Jiqing was a little more relieved, but when the prince went out to fight, there would definitely be many soldiers around. Although Jueyun was wearing soft armor, his arms couldn't be protected. I hope he can retreat completely and don't bump into anything.

He looked at Luo Ji, and it took him a long time to react: "I was the one who disturbed the Luo army division because of my abruptness."

"You are also concerned, I can understand." Luo Ji nodded, and said: "You came just in time, sit down first, I also have something to ask you."

"What?" Seeing Luo Ji being polite, Pei Jiqing also sat down.

"About Xiao Wansheng, how about Ruobi the Regent?" Luo Ji explained, "Don't worry, I didn't intend to poke your sore spots, but I just wanted to know more about him, so I asked you."

"Xiao Wansheng?" Pei Jiqing pondered for a while, and said: "Compared to the regent, Xiao Wansheng is simpler. The regent doesn't take in oil and salt, and a person with nothing to do is very difficult to deal with on the surface."

After Pei Jiqing said this, she also wanted to laugh in her heart. Fu Congjin took so much effort to sit on the seat of regent, but he was still cautious. I really don't know what this person is for. Do you think it is very refreshing to fight for power? ?

Luo Ji handed over a piece of paper, Pei Jiqing stretched out his hand to take it, he stared at it for a while, and said in surprise: "...Xiao Wansheng is coming?"

"Yes." Luo Ji frowned and said, "Jinzhou is in turmoil. General Xia has been guarding here, but this time it is going smoothly. If General Xia wins this time, the regent will probably transfer Zhao Deqin to southern Xinjiang, and let Xiao Wansheng come to northern Xinjiang to replace him." he."

"If Xiao Wansheng comes to the northern border, he will definitely take over the army, and General Xia's power will also be dispersed." Pei Jiqing pondered for a moment, and said: "You can't ask him to come here, just say that General Zhao is familiar with the terrain of Jinzhou, and Xiao Wansheng is from the south. It is more suitable to stay in southern Xinjiang."

"I also think the same way, but I still plan to discuss with General Xia for a while before returning his note." Luo Ji said: "Every time the regent issues orders, he always bows his head to him in the name of the emperor, and I will also serve on behalf of General Xia. not worth."

emperor?

Pei Jiqing suddenly thought that Fu Congjin's willingness to let Xiao Wansheng be transferred must be because the situation in the capital is stable, but according to Xia Chengxi's description before, the little emperor seems to have the heart to resist, so it seems that the little emperor has compromised?

Another thought flashed in his mind, maybe the little emperor didn't compromise, but temporarily decided to pretend to be a grandson. He was able to do this probably because there were people around him who supported him... Judging from the situation in the palace, this little emperor has the ability to convince the little emperor Xiao Wansheng is probably the only one.

After all, the little emperor is the one who has the guts to force his father to retreat, and he will definitely not be someone in the pool.

"Don't go back to that book for now, just stay put." Pei Jiqing raised his head, looked at Luo Ji and said, "If Xiao Wansheng came to Northern Xinjiang, it wouldn't be a bad thing after all, maybe we can still win him over."

"Win?" Luo Ji glanced at Pei Jiqing, and said disdainfully: "He harmed your whole family, but you want to win him over. How can there be a scholar like you in the world!"

"What are you thinking again?" Pei Jiqing was speechless, and continued: "Winning him is not to curry favor with the regent, but to alienate him. If Xiao Wansheng is on our side, General Xia's situation will be much better."

Luo Ji didn't speak, and tapped the map with his fingers. Seeing Luo Ji's expression, Pei Jiqing felt that he had persuaded him a little.In fact, Fu Congjin is deeply scheming, which is his greatest advantage, but this person is too indifferent, and ruthlessly controls his subordinates or partners. This kind of person may only win the world, and it is not easy to defend.

Pei Jiqing thought silently, if he could be an official, he wouldn't need to be under the fence all day long, thinking about how to persuade others, but Rong Luan is the son of a criminal minister, if he wanted to be an official in this capacity, he really didn't know what to do at the moment Work hard.

While the two were silent, there was a commotion from outside the tent, Xia Chengxi pulled open the military tent abruptly, the armor on his body was already stained red with blood, he laughed, and sat on the chair with his legs up.

"How is it?" Luo Ji suppressed the excitement in his tone, and asked, "Dading City..."

"It's taken down."

Xia Chengxi lowered his voice first, and then became involuntarily excited: "The Liao army retreated dozens of miles and took their second prince to station outside the city. My generals and soldiers will stay in the city. In a few days, they should go back. Damn it, after being bullied for decades, I finally got revenge."

"well……"

Luo Ji walked back and forth excitedly, Pei Jiqing pulled open the military tent abruptly, looking for Jue Yun's figure among the crowd, Zhao Deqin's soldiers and horses came back slowly, Jue Yun followed a group of big men, his figure looked very small, With blood all over his face and body, Pei Jiqing rushed up, stopped on the side of the road and looked at Jue Yun from afar, Jue Yun didn't look like he was injured when he walked, but his expression was extremely disappointed, he didn't look like he just won a battle at all.

When the crowd disbanded, Pei Jiqing rushed forward. As soon as Jueyun saw him, he completely lost the arrogance of killing and decisively before. After everyone had their own accounts, he said softly: "Uncle Pei, I failed to kill you!" Yelu Ergou."

Pei Jiqing first reflected on who the "Yelu Ergou" was for a quarter of an hour, then frowned and said, "What's so uncomfortable about this matter, if you act like this, tens of thousands of people didn't kill the second prince today, and they didn't Can you survive?"

Jue Yun didn't speak any more. Although his voice changed, he didn't sound like an adult anymore. He still sounded soft. Pei Jiqing felt that he probably saw too many dead people, and felt scared at the moment, so he didn't habitually say harsh words like usual. , instead touched Jue Yun's head, and said softly: "Don't worry, they are all back. Isn't this a big victory? You will be rewarded for your merits and deeds. Where is Lin He? I see him looking for you……"

"Lin He is injured." Jue Yun paused for a long time, and said softly: "He blocked an arrow for me, and his heart was full of blood, and told me to kill the second prince. But General Zhao said that the second prince was guarding the north. Cang, someone must have known we were going to sneak attack, he suspects that Lin He is a spy..."

Pei Jiqing frowned and said, "Where is Lin He now? If he is a spy, why should he risk his life to save you?"

"I thought so too, but General Zhao didn't see it." Jue Yun's voice became softer and softer, as if he had no other way, "He drove me back, but locked Lin He outside the barracks, he still didn't believe me... Uncle Pei, I'm not completely Han, don't you believe me..."

"I don't believe you?" Pei Jiqing frowned, and said directly: "If something happens to you today, I won't live."

After finishing speaking, he took out the jade pendant engraved with the word "Ping An" from his bosom, and said: "I forgot to give it to you yesterday, so I will give it to you now."

Jue Yun froze for a moment, put his arms around Pei Jiqing's waist, and buried his face on Pei Jiqing like when he was eight years old. Pei Jiqing stretched out his hand to stroke Jue Yun's hair, and said softly: "Lin He was not raised by Han people. My son, although it is really inappropriate to leave a wounded young man alone outside the barracks, it is indeed not unreasonable for General Zhao to suspect him. If there is a misunderstanding, just explain it clearly, and you don't have to blame yourself."

Jueyun took off his armor slowly, and Pei Jiqing took a wet towel, wiped off the fine blood stains little by little, and then applied some traumatic medicine, Jueyun was always depressed, as if he was very sad, and he didn't go to the celebration banquet. He sat alone at the table flipping through books until the dead of night, without any intention of going to sleep.

Pei Jiqing looked at Jue Yun and sighed, and couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "There are still some traumatic medicines here, you go and get some food, let's go and see Lin He."

"Really?" Jue Yun took the medicine, and his eyes lit up instantly. Pei Jiqing knew that he wanted to see Lin He, and she knew that Lin He was not a spy, but General Zhao was celebrating his victory just now, if he saw , and don't know what will happen, now that the night is quiet, let Jueyun visit him again, it will relieve his heart.

Pei Jiqing smiled and said, "Let's go, I'm not an unreasonable person."

Jue Yun quickly came back with medicines and food, the surroundings were silent, the two sneaked out of the camp, and saw Lin He being locked out of the tent, with an iron chain tied around his thin wrist, his The wound seemed to have been bandaged, and there was no blood on his body, but his brows were deeply furrowed, and he was completely different from the usual rascal and lively.

Jueyun leaned over and put the basket with steamed buns in front of him. Lin He suddenly turned his head and asked in surprise, "Jueyun?"

Before Jue Yun could speak, Lin He had already stepped forward and grabbed Jue Yun's hand. Lin He's lips were chapped, but he didn't ask about his own safety, but instead asked, "Is the Second Prince dead?"

Jue Yun shook his head with some remorse, and said, "Let him run away."

"Ugh."

Lin He bit his lower lip, his brows were full of panic, as if he was regretting this opportunity.Standing aside, Pei Jiqing couldn't help thinking about Xiao Wansheng's affairs: Xiao Wansheng was the one who hunted down the little prince back then. The boy bought by the brothel is so good, it's hard to guarantee that he won't feel suspicious.

But if Xiao Wansheng and the little emperor were on their side, it would be much easier to get rid of Fu Congjin, and if Jueyun succeeded in returning the court, with another title of prince, the road ahead would be easier.

This time Xiao Yi retreated in a series of defeats and set up an ambush, perhaps to let the second prince go to the battlefield, and then use Xia Chengxi's hand to get rid of him... Pei Jiqing continued to think, if he could borrow the little emperor's hand, wouldn't it? It can also get rid of Fu Congjin.

The only problem now is how to use Rong Luan's identity to become an official...

Jue Yun lowered his head with some self-reproach, handed the steamed bun to him, and said, "Eat it quickly, when General Zhao sobers up tomorrow, I will let him let you go."

Lin He shook his head, a trace of unusual indifference appeared on his face, he glanced at the absent-minded Pei Jiqing, lowered his voice, and whispered a few words to Jue Yun, Pei Jiqing watched the two teenagers talking together, and also Feeling at ease, at least Jue Yun didn't feel so uncomfortable, and Lin He didn't seem to suffer much, this might just be a misunderstanding.

"what?"

Jueyun didn't know what he heard, he was taken aback suddenly, and the steamed buns in his hand fell into the basket, Pei Jiqing turned around in surprise, Lin He pulled Jueyun over, winked and said: "Little Xianggong, can you go and burn some heat for me?" water?"

"Little brat." Seeing that Lin He didn't care, Pei Jiqing knew that he hadn't suffered much, so he said, "You don't have a good word out of your mouth, you deserve to be treated as a spy!"

He said so, but he still turned and went back to the military tent, ready to get some hot water for Lin He.

"Master Pei!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
