Early the next morning, when they arrived in Yaocheng, Du Xun, whom Shen Ci hated the most, came to pick them up. Shen Ci and him hated each other, and they didn't want to say a word, so they went to the post in the city quietly.

Pei Yunjing was already waiting in a secluded room on the second floor. Shen Ci hadn't seen him for more than a year. He still looked the same, with pale complexion, weak figure, and a gloomy look in his eyes, which made people very sad. uncomfortable.

After meeting the ceremony politely, Xie Ruzhuo had no intention of chatting with Pei Yunjing at all anyway, he just wanted to finish talking earlier and keep out of sight, so he went straight to the point and said, "Does President Pei know that we are looking for you?"

Pei Yunjing glanced at the emperor and nodded slightly.

The father and son communicated quickly, Xie Ruzhuo smiled nonchalantly, and said, "Then it seems that Zongbing Pei has something for you to bring to me?"

"Father means that since His Majesty has come in person, the Pei family can't presumptuously intervene." Pei Yunjing said slowly, "The people from Beidi also came this time because they heard that father and the court are not in harmony, so come and have a look. Luckily, they will go back after losing the battle. His Majesty has already kept them out of Liping County, so there is no need to worry about it. It is better to let His Majesty decide the future, which can be regarded as establishing prestige for His Majesty in northern Xinjiang."

Xie Ruzhuo let out an undisguised "tow", deeply feeling that the person who can say such words is already shameless. The implication is that if the court doesn't buy me, I just quit, and I have to keep your own , Xie Ruzhuo put on a good-tempered look and nodded: "Yes."

"It's not impossible for us to guard, so please ask Pei Yuankai to leave the Cangzhou Army's barracks empty for us to avoid trouble." Shen Ci stood beside Xie Ruzhuo, looking down at Pei Yunjing with lowered eyes, "Before the Beidi people retreat, the whole The military power in Cangzhou is given to the imperial court."

Pei Yunjing looked at Shen Ci silently, his eyes seemed to be sizing up, but seeing that Xie Ruzhuo hadn't said anything, he understood that Shen Ci was indeed deeply trusted by the emperor, just like the rumors, his smile was also a bit gloomy, and he said lightly: " I'll tell my father."

"What benefit do you want to see us?" This is the last step of today's conversation, and you can leave after the conversation, Xie Ruzhuo asked quickly and calmly, "You tell me."

However, Pei Yunjing fell silent again, his deep-set eye sockets were filled with darkness, and his face, which always showed a disgusting expression, suddenly became deeper than ever before, as if he was thinking about a complicated and unspeakable matter. After a long time, Xie Ruzhuo and others He was almost impatient, so he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to move the Pei family?"

"If you are asking about this matter seriously, then I can answer you seriously, yes." Xie Ruzhuo was not surprised to see his expression, but was very clear, "Pei Yuankai wants too much, the court and him It is doomed that there will be no ending of harmonious coexistence. Are you giving yourself too much face if you want to exchange this benefit?"

It was rare for Pei Yunjing to get angry because of the thorny words of others, and he was silent for a while, saying: "Actually, my father does not want to agree to the three major battalions entering the Cangzhou military camp. You can defend the city, but it is too dangerous to move Cangzhou's territory and military power. Now, what if you don't leave or don't return afterward? But it's not that there is room for negotiation, this time, to help His Majesty get the result you want, can you choose a way out?"

The Cangzhou military camp has the rich granary accumulated by the Pei family for so many years, countless excellent war horses and weapons, and may even hide the firearms that were not recovered back then. All they can defend the city and enter are the camps of the guards. There are still people in the camps stationed in various places, and they didn't go there. If they can settle in, they can solve all the follow-up supply problems. Breaking ground was indeed too dangerous for Pei Yuankai.

But Xie Ruzhuo can also guess what Pei Yunjing said about the room for negotiation. They settled in Cangzhou, and Pei Yuankai's soldiers and horses withdrew, so many people can't go anywhere. Anyway, he had settled in Anhuai at the beginning, and he hasn't evacuated until now. In this way, he and the court are mutually restraining. If the court refuses to leave, or if the court refuses to return the military power, they will also refuse to leave. The safety of the capital is important, but Cangzhou is more important.

Although he had guessed their plan, Xie Ru didn't show it on the surface, and asked: "The retreat? Your retreat or the Pei family's retreat?"

Pei Yunjing looked directly at him, and said word by word: "The retreat route of the minister is the retreat route of the Pei family."

After Pei Yuankai's death in the previous life, Xie Ruzhuo didn't exterminate the Pei family. Instead, he kept a few irrelevant people. He just cut off their wings completely, and there was no day for them to turn around. The Pei family was also in disarray. Such a big family has the intention of the tree falling down and the monkeys scattered. Back then, Xie Ruzhuo never thought that the person who finally supported the entire lingering Pei family was this annoying sick child in front of him.

Xie Ruzhuo's hostility towards Pei Yunjing has always been pure, it is because of Shen Ci, no matter what good deeds he has done in silence, he just holds grudges, not as magnanimous as Shen Ci, but thinking about the scene when he saw Pei Yunjing again in the previous life, and I have to admit that he actually admires this person.

"I understand." Xie Ruzhuo stood up and put on the cloak again, "Deal."

Shen Ci glanced at Pei Yunjing with a complicated expression, and said softly to Xie Ruzhuo: "You go out first, I have something to say to him."

Xie Ruzhuo knew that he and Pei Yunjing had a brotherly relationship although he didn't want to admit it, but it was a fact, so he didn't stop him, and walked out the door first.

"General Shen, what else do you want to say?" As soon as Xie Ruzhuo left, Pei Yunjing sat on the chair leisurely, looked at Shen Ci with a half-smile, "You don't want to catch up with me, do you?"

This person still owed him so much, Shen Ci didn't bother to talk to him, and only said what he wanted to say: "Don't let Pei Yuankai raise an army, otherwise there is no way out."

Pei Yunjing understood what he was talking about, but couldn't help being provocative in his eyes, and said: "Even if there is a fight, the imperial court may not be the opponent of the Cangzhou army, not to mention that Xu Zishen and King Yan haven't finished cleaning up yet."

Shen Ci sneered and nodded: "Yes, the Cangzhou army is very strong, maybe Xu Zishen is also very afraid, but with me, Xu Zishen will definitely lose, and he, Pei Yuankai, can't even think of winning."

"After becoming a general, I became even crazier." Pei Yunjing leaned forward slightly, and his smile became more gloomy, "But do you still have to thank me, if I didn't let you go back then, His Majesty who just went to Lezhou would like to come If you don't dare to rob people from our Pei family, then you have to stay by my side as a soldier for the rest of your life."

Shen Ci sneered boredly, he was really tired of hearing such words, why didn't Pei Yunjing get tired of talking, he said what he should say, that's all he had to say, and walked outside, he said indifferently: "Then I thank you .”

Opening the door, Xie Ruzhuo stood guard at the door as if facing a formidable enemy, and looked into the room warily, seeing that Pei Yunjing hadn't moved, he looked back and forth at Shen Ci several times.

Shen Ci laughed and said: "I have the same official position as Pei Yunjing now, so he can't beat me?"

Xie Ruzhuo snorted coldly: "You can't take it lightly at any time for this kind of mentally ill person."

After finishing speaking, he rolled his eyes towards the room, dragged Shen Ci away without wanting to wait for a moment.

A group of people took a rest in Yaocheng, and then started back to Chihao.

Two days later, Pei Yuankai agreed to withdraw the Cangzhou Army, took away part of the food, grass and weapons, left the Cangzhou Army Camp to them, and temporarily gave the imperial court the right to deploy troops in Cangzhou, and the Cangzhou Army was stationed in several places centered on Anhuai. There are states and counties blocking the north of the capital.

Now that Cangzhou was completely owned by them, everything became easier. After fighting with the Beidi people in Chihao for a few days, the Beidi people withdrew again. Xie Ruzhuo followed Shen Ci to a city further west, called Pu County.

There are few farmlands in the city, and it feels like there is yellow sand all over the sky wherever you go. Spring is the time when the dust in northern Xinjiang is the worst. The weather was still extremely dry, and Shen Ci was afraid that his fair and tender face would be cracked by the wind and sand, and he was not allowed to go out. It would be best to persuade him to go back to Lezhou.

But Xie Ruzhuo just didn't leave, staying in the city obediently every day was already the limit of what he could do.

Recently, the army and Beidi people have been fighting fiercely near Dingyang Haizi outside the city. Beidi people have lived in the grassland desert for a long time and have never seen the sea. It is located in a big lake, but there is only sand and dust all day long. It is said that the water in the lake is turbid and not very beautiful. A hundred years ago, the Beidi people called it Dingyang Haizi. Down, it is still called this name.

This morning when the army was fighting, the sky was gray. After Xie Ruzhuo got up, he heard the report from the soldiers. The local people said that the weather was not right, and there might be a yellow fog.

In the afternoon, the sand and dust had completely covered the sun, and he could eat a mouthful of sand when he walked out the door. Xie Ruzhuo had an intuition that something was going to happen, and he was always worried. After another hour, the person in charge of supporting outside the city reported the general report, Dingyang Haizi The surrounding area has been filled with yellow fog, lost the direction of the army, and can't see anything clearly.

Xie Ruzhuo couldn't sit still any longer, put on the hood and led 1 people out of the city himself.

Sands and stones were flying in the city, and as soon as they left the city, there were deserts all around, and the situation was even worse.

Looking around, the wind blows, the sky is covered with dust, the sun and the moon are dark, the more you go forward, the more you can't see clearly, the horses have difficulty walking, and from time to time they make anxious neighing, mixed with the whimpering wind, trembling Tense strings.

Those who came along with Xie Ruzhuo were already in a hurry, gradually they couldn't even recognize who was who around them with their human eyes, and they couldn't open their eyes in the dust that was flying wildly.

"Your Majesty! Go back quickly! The general will lead people to continue looking for General Shen and the others, and they must be found and brought back!" The general vaguely saw the golden dragon pattern on Xie Ruzhuo's armor, and shouted eagerly, "Here It's too dangerous! Your Majesty, go back!"

Xie Ruzhuo held the rein with his right hand, and raised his left hand to cover his face, slightly blocking the dust blowing directly into his eyes. His whole body was in a state of distress, his head was covered with yellow sand, and he was occasionally hit by small stones blown into the air by the wind. His cheeks were throbbing, and there were small scars on his fair face. He anxiously opened his eyes and looked around, calmly listening to the voices in the distance, and replied loudly: "Don't persuade me! If you don't find anyone, I won't let you go!" Will go back!"
