The first favorite of rebirth

The snow outside the window was getting bigger and bigger, covering the sky into a gray mist. Pei Jiqing didn't know how to speak, so he could only hug Jue Yun tightly in his arms.This was not Jue Yun's first battle, but it was his first defeat. Although in the eyes of outsiders, Jue Yun turned defeat into victory and won more with less, he still had merit.

But no matter how great the credit, the sergeant who was with him day and night would not be able to survive.

Jueyun's tears gradually stopped, he hugged Pei Jiqing, and said in a low voice: "When Yeluhetu called, I should have surrendered to him earlier, and our people would not have died so much."

"You don't know what Yeluhetu will think." Pei Jiqing said softly: "And if he wants to catch you, he will definitely kill everyone around you, otherwise how can he rest assured to catch you alive? It is not easy to think of such a way in an emergency."

Pei Jiqing felt that she was not consoling, she was just analyzing the pros and cons based on reason, but Jue Yun still did not calm down, Pei Jiqing continued: "I am not comforting you, these are the truth, before you wake up, Xiao Wansheng He also said that you did a good job, and asked me not to always teach you a lesson, and even I was scolded."

Only then did Jueyun stop crying for a while, he wiped away two tears, and the expression on his face gradually returned to tranquility, he looked into Pei Jiqing's eyes, and said softly: "Uncle Pei, you say people have to fight Is it? When we were in Dingzhou, the herdsmen were very willing to do business with us."

"You are willing to do business with them, but they are not willing to accept it." Pei Jiqing said: "If these cities are not brought down and forced back to the depths of the desert, even more people will die. If your heart aches The brothers who died should work harder, and the more officials they become, the more responsibilities they have to bear."

After Pei Jiqing finished speaking, he felt that his tone was harsh again. He was about to correct a few words when he saw Jue Yun nodded fiercely. He jumped out of the bed and said, "I'm going to eat!"

Jueyun put on his boots for himself, picked up the crude "candied haws" and gnawed on it. Seeing his appearance, Pei Jiqing also felt that the child had really grown up, so she turned her back and tidied the bed for him. At this time, the soldier knocked on the door suddenly, and he seemed to be wounded as well, looking at Jue Yun, he said pleasantly: "Lord Lang looks much better, we can rest assured."

Jue Yun was a little embarrassed, and said: "I was fine before, nothing serious."

"Thank you, Lord Lang, for saving your life! Our brothers were surrounded by Liao dogs, and we thought we would die, but we didn't expect to be able to make meritorious service with Lord Lang!" The soldier said excitedly, "I saw that Lord Lang was young, but brothers underestimated you. If you do this for a few more days, you will surely get his dog's head!"

Jue Yun froze in place, and found that the self in his heart was completely different from the soldier's eyes. The soldier continued: "I saw that you are much more energetic, but I was so excited that I forgot to talk about it. Master Hou invited you to come over and said that the capital has a purpose."

"Will?"

Hearing this, Jue Yun hurriedly dragged Pei Jiqing out together, but Xiao Wansheng was not in the flower hall where the discussion was taking place, but in his own bedroom. When he saw Jue Yun and Pei Jiqing coming in, he quickly closed the door.

"What's the matter?" Before Pei Jiqing opened his mouth, Xiao Wansheng had already handed over the memorial in silence. A thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead despite counting nine cold days. Pei Jiqing looked at the words on the memorial, His brows couldn't help but wrinkled deeper and deeper, and he almost threw the memorial on the ground. He stayed for a long time before responding: "Fu Congjin is coming?"

"Show me!" Jue Yun snatched the memorial abruptly, and said angrily, "He told us to pretend to kill the First Prince, what does that mean?!"

"Here is another letter. If you read it again, I don't understand it." Xiao Wansheng frowned and handed over a beige letter. This letter was very ordinary, and only the word "Wansheng" was written on it. Dignified and upright, Pei Jiqing felt very familiar, this was clearly Fu Congjin's own handwriting, he didn't use imperial decree to issue orders, so could it be that he wanted to say something secret?

After Pei Jiqing opened the letter, she was shocked by the lines of words on it, and her heart almost jumped out.Fu Congjin not only told Xiao Wansheng not to really force Yeluhetu to death, but also asked him to bring Jueyun back to Jinzhou, reward Jueyun himself, and even... mentioned himself.

Pei Jiqing stared at the word "Rong Luan" closely, it seemed that those two proper words were a bit dazzling, Xiao Wansheng had already cooperated with them, and it was absolutely impossible to report her whereabouts, but Fu Congjin knew that she had come to Mobei , which also shows that there is an inner ghost beside Xiao Wansheng or Xia Chengxi that neither of them knows.

But he brought Jueyun to Jinzhou for a long time, Fu Congjin only asked at this time, presumably even if he knew that Jueyun was not a "local", he would not know that Jueyun was the prince.

Thinking about this, Pei Jiqing calmed down a little. He put down the letter, looked at Xiao Wansheng and said, "There is someone who is the regent by our side, and this person is either by your side or by General Xia's side. Fortunately, this person is no more I don’t know much about it, and it may not be there now, Lord Hou is relieved for the time being.”

"I'm really scared to death." Xiao Wansheng slapped the saber on the table, and took a sip of herbal tea, "Now I'm also suspected, do you believe me?"

Pei Jiqing smiled, and said: "The regent won't let us touch the eldest prince, firstly because he is dying, and he will die by himself in a few days anyway, if we don't take action, we won't have too much relationship with Liao when we talk about it in the future; The second is that he knows about Lin He, and he may feel that it is more beneficial for us to have two princes check and balance."

Xiao Wansheng suddenly realized, but Jueyun hesitated, he whispered: "If we don't kill the eldest prince, how can we explain to Lin He?"

"If we kill the eldest prince, we will push Lin He to the forefront. Even if he really ascends the throne, he will only be ostracized." Pei Jiqing thought about it again, and said in a low voice: "Also, I think It is not a bad thing that the regent wants to see Jue Yun."

Both Xiao Wansheng and Jueyun were a little confused, they both turned to look at him at the same time, and asked, "How do you say it?"

"Since that person is not with Lord Hou, he must be with General Xia. He must know that Jueyun is the child of General Xia's deceased." Pei Jiqing said: "The regent does not know Jueyun's identity, he will only be General Xia The reason for lying about the situation is to squeeze in his own people. General Xia has always been clean and gentle, and the regent must have never had a chance to win him over. This is a loophole."

"You mean, the Prince Regent wants to win over General Xia?" Jue Yun said, "Then what should I do?"

"He wants to win you over, so you can go with him, and there is nothing wrong with meeting this famous enemy early." Pei Jiqing smiled, looked at Xiao Wansheng again and said, "It's just hard work, Lord Marquis, on your face Towards the regent, secretly pretending to be towards the emperor, and most importantly towards His Royal Highness."

"Yes." Xiao Wansheng said with a sneer: "Since I met you, I have used up my whole life's mind, and I may have been infected by you recently. It seems that everyone is cautious, and I always feel that there is something in what others say."

"You think there is something in other people's words. Maybe he has something in the truth. It's just that you didn't hear it." Pei Jiqing smiled and said: "Master Hou, live a little more tired and have more thoughts than die without understanding. Liao Qiang, although the Prince Regent's eyeliner is not placed beside Lord Hou, he has never informed Lord Hou, so now, Lord Hou still regards himself as his old man's confidant?"

Pei Jiqing's voice stopped slowly, and there was a sudden silence all around, Xiao Wansheng suddenly felt terrified, he used to think that the regent didn't believe him, at most he married a wife he didn't like, and overwhelmed him in many things... But From this point of view, the Prince Regent has left more than just this hand, Xiao Wansheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly: "I think when I was a bandit in the Southwest, I thought of him as my brother..."

"Brother?" Pei Jiqing smiled, slapped the letter memorial in Xiao Wansheng's hand, and said in a low voice: "The Supreme Emperor is also his brother, including the dead Pei Jiqing, but they were all people who were worthy of his brother. Regent The king's heart is like a stone, the emperor is ruthless and ungrateful, I brought Lord Hou to see His Highness, it is definitely a win-win plan for everyone after weighing the pros and cons."

At this time, the door was knocked suddenly, Xiao Wansheng shook his hands, and the memorial fell to the ground with a "crash". He quickly turned his head and said sharply: "Who is outside? Didn't I say that you are not allowed to come in?!"

"I'm not allowed to come in either?" As soon as the words fell, Lin He walked in loudly. He had changed into Liao costumes. His thick and gorgeous fur set off a sharp-edged face, and his amber eyes were clear. Stretching out his hand to grab Jue Yun, he said, "How is your health?"

"He has been fine for a long time, we are discussing matters, can't you find someone to report?" Xiao Wansheng impatiently said: "Any news?"

"You are discussing matters, and you are also talking about Yeluhetu." Lin He smiled and said: "Don't think about it, Yeluhetu invited me back to Liao Kingdom, don't touch him for now."

As soon as Lin He said this, Jue Yun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he put his hands on Lin He's shoulders, and said: "Actually, we are in a difficult situation, the emperor ordered us not to kill the eldest prince, so as not to cause too much trouble ..."

"It won't be too tense, I just came to bring you good news." Lin He said excitedly: "Yeluhetu asked for an order, the Liao Kingdom has made me the king of the North, and wants to negotiate peace with you, Jueyun, we want to It's still come true!"

"real?!"

Jue Yun was very excited, it seemed that even the wound on his body was not that uncomfortable, he stretched out his hand and held Lin He's hand tightly, as if his hard work and sacrifice were not in vain, and the guilt in his heart was much less.Pei Jiqing hadn't rested for many days, he let out a long breath and said, "Okay, I have to sleep for a while, you guys go to celebrate, after these few days, I'm afraid we won't have many chances to meet each other."

Lin He smiled brightly and said, "That's not necessarily the case."

Three days later, Liuzhou has officially entered the twelfth lunar month, and the heavy snow has dyed the sky and the earth white. The Dazhou army officially set off to negotiate peace with the Liao army in a camp not far away. Jueyun rode in front on a white horse. He was dressed in silver armor, with an unusually handsome side face, and even a string of red tassels around the neck of the white horse. The silver|spear white horse was full of heroism, as beautiful as a picture.

Pei Jiqing originally thought he couldn't come, but Jue Yun seemed to want to show him something, and specially asked him to go to the Liao camp with the military division led by Xiao Wansheng. The tent of the Liao country was large and white, and the edge of the main tent was rolled with silver lines, just like a palace As gorgeous as he was, Pei Jiqing got out of the carriage and was greeted by Yeluhetu wearing luxurious clothes. He seemed to be supporting his body, and even the accessories on his body could hardly hold up.

Jue Yun came over suddenly, and carefully stuffed a dagger into Pei Jiqing's sleeve. Pei Jiqing looked in surprise, only to find that Jue Yun was looking around cautiously, so he whispered: "Is there an ambush?"

"It's hard to say, I always feel murderous." Jue Yun whispered: "Be careful."

Pei Jiqing didn't know what "murderous intent" meant, but she also intentionally looked around. There was a row of maids standing in the middle of the camp, and two Kunlun slaves were standing nearby. Pei Jiqing hadn't seen clearly yet, Yeluhetu Jue Yun and Xiao Wansheng had already been welcomed into the tent, and the maid offered them delicious wine and fruits, Jue Yun only drank a little politely, then hurriedly put it down, Xiao Wansheng also put down the wine glass, and said loudly: "Prince, there is no need to show off these polite things. Now, we are here for peace talks, you just talk about the conditions."

"Liuzhou City has already been taken, so what else is there to talk about?" Yeluhetu has always looked down on the Han people. Although he was injured at this time, his expression inevitably showed some arrogance. He raised his head and said in substandard Chinese: " Is Hou Ye going to take away all of Mobei Prefecture?"

"We don't want to seize Mobei Prefecture, as long as the people of the two countries have friendly exchanges, there will be no war." Jue Yun got up, and said Langlang: "In addition to Liuzhou City, we also need to use the tent of the First Prince at this time as the boundary, and the tent will be open to everyone." From the south to the city gate of Liuzhou, this piece of land is reserved for the Kaima Market, which is traded regularly every month to communicate with each other. Officials from both sides are stationed to manage and formulate rules. Seeing that the people live and work in peace and contentment must be the wish of the Liao Kingdom. "

After all, Jueyun handed a booklet to Yeluhetu, which detailed the preparations and rules for opening the horse market. Yeluhetu thought that they would draw another border, but he didn't expect such a result, and was a little surprised for a while.

That day Pei Jiqing went to bed early, and thought that Jue Yun would take Lin He to play, but he didn't expect that the child had prepared so much. He insisted on coming to Liao Kingdom by himself, probably for him to see, after all, he was still a little boy. child.

"I didn't expect the little general to be so brave and resourceful. It was my fault that I recognized you as the young prince late that night." Yeluhetu pondered for a moment, raised his glass and laughed, "It seems that the little general is young and promising, and he is younger than that." I don't know how much stronger the young master is, I just hope that I won't run into you on the battlefield."

Yeluhetu raised his glass to drink, and suddenly asked in confusion: "Those nights, I didn't notice that the little general actually looks like a barbarian?"

Jue Yun also admitted without hesitation, saying: "My mother is a Hu, and my father is a Han."

"The little general is so heroic, it turns out that the blood of the wolf is bleeding from his body." Yeluhetu called a person, put a delicate long sword into a gold plate and took it out, "This sword is used as a token, I will make friends with the little general. "

"it is good!"

Jueyun only remembered Yeluhetu's wretchedness, but he didn't expect Yeluhetu to be so bold. He stepped forward to take the sword, but the maid smiled slightly and raised her hand to draw the sword. Jueyun jumped sideways and picked up the sword on the plate The scabbard touched the edge of the sword, and for a moment, there was a flash of fire.

Jue Yun's gaze was fixed, and anyone could see that this was a grand feast.

Xiao Wansheng drew his sword, and the Kunlun slaves behind Yeluhetu also rushed out, but the maid raised her hand to signal them to retreat.

"Little General Yingwu, I intend to propose marriage for you, but my sister insists on trying." Yelu Hetu said with a smile: "You are not surprised."

Jue Yun: "Huh?"
