Congrats to the boss and his brother

The two stayed in the gap until the movement outside subsided before coming out.

Pei Ye first poked his head out and looked around to make sure there was nothing unusual around him, and then asked Chi Jingyao to come out with him.

The city tower, which was bustling not long ago, is now empty, and even the street below has become much quieter.Standing on the tower, Chi Jingyao could even vaguely hear the voices of the patrol soldiers below.

Pei Ye stood alone and calmed down for a while, Chi Jingyao didn't dare to go far, and followed behind him obediently.

At this moment, the city tower is empty, and besides, it is already late at night, and when the wind blows, the cold air will crawl towards people like they have grown legs.

Chi Jingyao had never been able to stand the cold, but now his jaw was shaking from the cold.

"Second brother..." Chi Jingyao waited for a while, and seeing that Pei Ye still had no intention of leaving, he called him in a low voice.

"Don't say anything." Pei Ye thought? He wanted to comfort himself again, and hurriedly stopped him.

"I'm not going to talk about your ... matter." Chi Jingyao whispered: "On the tower? No one is there. The wind is so strong that I'm cold."

Pei Ye was startled, and then realized that it was already late at night.

He turned his head and glanced at Chi Jingyao, stretched out his hand to help the boy straighten his scarf, and then hurriedly led him down.

Pei Qing had been waiting in the dark, and when he saw the two people coming down, he followed them.

"What happened just now?" Pei Ye asked.

"The patrol battalion is arresting people. It seems that someone detonated the gunpowder." Pei Qing said.

There was a loud noise just now, and the movement was too loud. Pei Ye had already guessed that it was probably gunpowder, but now that it was confirmed, he was still a little surprised.Listening to the movement, it seems that the dose of the drug is not small. If it explodes in the crowd, the consequences will be disastrous.

Hearing this, Chi Jingyao hurriedly asked, "Is anyone injured?"

"Several civilians were injured, and they were all sent to the hospital by the patrol battalion now." Pei Qing said.

Chi Jingyao subconsciously wanted to ask whether he should go to the medical clinic, but then he thought about it at this time? It's not appropriate to get involved, and since the person has been sent to the medical clinic, he doesn't have to worry about it if he has his own staff to deal with it. .

"I heard a few words from the brothers in the patrol battalion, saying that they suspected that this person might be the work of Chen Guo." Pei Qing said again.

Pei Ye paused when he heard this, as if he was considering whether to go over and take a look.

In the past few years, they have been stationed in the border town, and they have a good relationship with the patrol battalion, and they often communicate with each other, so he is familiar with the several stewards there.However, Pei Ye finally gave up on this idea and planned to take Chi Jingyao to the inn to rest first.

In winter in the border town, it was too cold outside after nightfall, he didn't want to take the boy back and forth, it would be troublesome if someone got sick from the cold again.

"Go and keep an eye on it." Pei Ye said to Pei Qing, "Come and tell me what's going on."

Pei Qing responded and was about to leave when Chi Jingyao suddenly stopped him.

"Brother Pei Qing, are you going to interrogate the man caught tonight?" Chi Jingyao asked.

"Well, the interrogation of the patrol battalion, I just went to have a look." Pei Qing said.

Chi Jingyao looked at Pei Ye and said, "Second brother, do you want to give them one of our medicines?"

When Pei Ye heard this, he remembered that Chi Jingyao was talking about the kind of medicine that makes people tell the truth, so he nodded.

Pei Qing took the pill that Chi Jingyao gave him, then turned around and disappeared into the night.

The two found an inn nearby, and Pei Yechao asked for an upper room.

While the buddy was preparing hot water, he looked around the inn to make sure there was nothing unusual before returning to the room.

Chi Jingyao was sitting on a low couch, holding a cold fried rice cake in his hand, as if he wanted to eat it.

Seeing this, Pei Ye took away the rice cakes in his hand, and said, "It's completely cold, and my stomach hurts after eating carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sound coming from Chi Jingyao's stomach.

Hearing this, Pei Ye was a little helpless, so he went to the waiter and asked for two bowls of hot noodle soup.

After a while, the noodles were served.

"I wanted to take you to have fun tonight, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing." Pei Ye said.

Chi Jingyao chomped on the noodles, and said, "Shouldn't we also play what should be played?"

"Are you scared?" Pei Ye looked at him and asked.

"I was a little scared at first, but then you..." Thinking of Pei Ye's little embarrassment, Chi Jingyao quickly stopped talking and gave a coy smile.

Pei Ye finally forgot about this matter, and now Chi Jingyao mentioned it again, and his expression suddenly turned a little awkward.

"Second brother, we are brothers. There is nothing embarrassing about this kind of thing. I do it sometimes..." Chi Jingyao tried to comfort him, and said, "I have Qingxin Quhuowan here, how about I give it to you?" Get a few..."

"Don't mention it again." Pei Ye gave him a warning look, and lowered his voice.

Chi Jingyao hastily stretched out his hand, swiped it across his mouth, and made a gesture of sealing his mouth, which meant that he would never mention it again.

After eating noodles, the two of them briefly washed up.

Just as he was about to rest, Pei Qing came.

"How can Brother Pei Qing always find you?" Chi Jingyao asked curiously.

"When two people get along for a long time, there will be a tacit understanding." Pei Ye said: "This inn is the best one in the vicinity. It is safer and more comfortable. I will take you with me, so naturally he can guess that I will come here. And in an inn, there are usually only a few upper rooms, and the one I chose is the one farthest from the stairs, at the end of the corridor, so it is more convenient to jump out of the window if something happens."

Chi Jingyao nodded when he heard the words, and immediately looked at Pei Ye with a bit of admiration.

He felt that his second brother looked like a master of the rivers and lakes at the moment.

"How was the trial?" Pei Ye asked.

"Doctor Chi's pills are very effective, but his meticulous work is almost knowing everything." Pei Qing said: "According to his account, he has been lurking in the city for some time, and the purpose is to prepare for the Lantern Festival. , together with his companions on the tower? Create a commotion to attract the attention of the patrol battalion, so that spies from outside the city can take the opportunity to sneak in."

Unexpectedly, he lost contact with his companions these days. He saw the Lantern Festival, but he didn't see him in person.

"They communicate with the people in Chen Guozhen in one line, and there is no way to communicate in reverse, so he can only carry out the task by himself tonight." Pei Qing said: "I didn't expect that the patrol battalion will strengthen the patrol tonight. He is transporting When shooting gunpowder, in order to avoid people from the patrol battalion, he could only mix in the crowd... As a result, his gunpowder fuze was accidentally ignited by someone else's pyrotechnic stick in advance."

The man had no choice but to abandon the gunpowder and run away. In the end, he was overtaken by people from the patrol battalion.

Fortunately, at that time, many people were on the towers, or watching the fireworks on the upper floors of teahouses and restaurants on the street, but the crowds on the streets were not too dense.And after that person's gunpowder was ignited, the people in the patrol battalion warned the police, so not too many people were injured.

"Is there any movement outside the city?" Pei Ye asked.

"The patrol battalion was prepared in advance and sent additional manpower outside the city, but the person mentioned in the details did not appear." Pei Qing said.

In other words, the person who was originally scheduled to cooperate with the inside and outside of the detailed work missed the appointment.And because of this secret work? I couldn't contact my own people, didn't know that the mission was cancelled, and foolishly held the gunpowder to make some noise, but I didn't expect to get myself into the prison of the patrol camp in the end.

Chi Jingyao: ...

I don't know whether to say that this person is unlucky or deserves it.

"Chen Guo has been too quiet recently, and there is even a problem with the meticulous work..." Pei Ye frowned and said, "I always feel that something is not right."

Pei Qing said: "Our spies have been watching recently. It is true that they have not moved. The entire Chen country? Camp is very peaceful."

Chi Jingyao whispered: "Could it be too cold to come out to fight?"

"It's possible, maybe they are as afraid of the cold as you are," Pei Ye said.

Chi Jingyao: ...

Listen? Come out, his second brother seems to be mocking him.

"Do you want to send the person they sent to assassinate you to find out?" Chi Jingyao said.

Pei Ye was startled when he heard the words, and immediately understood that what Chi Jingyao was talking about was the few secret works he had saved earlier.

These few people, Pei Ye, gave Chi Jingyao the decision, but there was nothing around Chi Jingyao that could be used in their place, so he could only order them to do some rough work, which was a bit "overqualified".

Although they weren't so good secret agents, they had lived in Chen Guo for a long time, so they must know much more about the situation there than the spies sent by the Qizhou camp.

"This method is indeed feasible." Pei Qing said: "At that time? They will inquire about the news of their return. If we are worried, we can let them take Doctor Chi's pill again."

Chi Jingyao said: "If you're really worried, you can send our people to go with them."

"Let's do it like this." Pei Ye said to Pei Qing: "Go and bring him over tomorrow, and I will tell General Yang personally."

Pei Qing hurriedly responded when he heard the words.

After tossing so many things tonight, Chi Jingyao was already exhausted.

He was lying on the couch? He fell asleep after a while.

In the middle of the night, he was woken up by urinating, and then he realized that Pei Ye had been facing away from him, and his body was pressed against the outside of the bed, wishing to be far away from him.Chi Jingyao muttered in a daze, no wonder? I feel a little cold.

Chi Jingyao put on his outer robe and got up, and just got out of bed when he heard Pei Ye's voice.

"What are you doing?" Pei Ye asked.

"I'm going to pee." Chi Jingyao said.

"There is a chamber pot under the bed." Pei Ye said lightly, "I checked it before going to bed and it was clean."

Hearing this, Chi Jingyao hurriedly took out the chamber pot under the bed, untied his belt and began to deal with it, and did not shy away from Pei Ye.

Pei Ye lay on his side on the bed, just facing him. He was taken aback when he saw this, and turned around uncomfortably to lie flat.

Chi Jingyao didn't notice Pei Ye's strangeness at all, and groped his way back under the covers after finishing the solution.

"Second brother, come closer!" Chi Jingyao said, "I said I've been under the quilt all night? It's not even warm."

The young man leaned close to Pei Ye without hesitation, found a comfortable position and fell asleep leaning against him again.

Pei Ye sighed, temporarily put aside all the messy thoughts in his head, stretched out his arms to embrace the boy, and pulled him into his arms.Unexpectedly, Chi Jingyao was "self-conscious". Everyone fell asleep, but he was still like an octopus. With his hands and feet, he quickly wrapped himself around Pei Ye, as if he used Pei Ye as a human-shaped heater again. .

In the second half of the night, Chi Jingyao slept comfortably because his body became warmer.

When he woke up in the morning, he saw Pei Ye sitting absent-mindedly on the low couch on the other side of the room without even his coat on.

"Second brother? What are you doing sitting there?" Chi Jingyao asked.

Pei Ye looked up at him for a moment, coughed lightly, and said, "It's okay, I woke up early.

Chi Jingyao got up and got dressed, and caught a glimpse of something wrong with Pei Ye's middle coat, especially the trousers, which looked a little short and didn't seem to fit well, so he asked in a daze: "Second brother, why do your pants look shorter after sleeping?"

Pei Ye didn't seem to want to answer his question, so he took his robe and put it on, and said in a muffled voice, "I'll take you out for breakfast."

"Okay." Chi Jingyao couldn't take care of it? Ask again, hurriedly put on clothes and put on a scarf, and followed Pei Ye out of the guest room.

Can't say why? Chi Jingyao felt that Pei Ye's state this morning seemed not right, as if he was a little absent-minded.

When the two arrived at the front hall of the inn to check out, the clerk asked Pei Ye, "Guest officer, did you wash the middle clothes you changed out earlier in the morning and send them to your house? Or..."

"Throw it away." Pei Ye paid the money, and took Chi Jingyao out of the inn without looking back.

"Second brother... Are your clothes dirty?" Chi Jingyao asked after him.

Pei Ye frowned, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Chi Jingyao might as well, almost bump into him?

"What's wrong?" Chi Jingyao asked.

"After I go back, help me get some Qingxin Gohuowan." Pei Ye said in a deep voice.

Chi Jingyao: ...

His second brother finally admitted that he was angry?

The author has something to say:

Chi Jingyao: An unsolved mystery, why does the second brother change his pants when he wakes up in the morning?
