Pei Xiangyun turned his head in panic, and saw a short figure standing at the door.

It's Zhang Su...

It turned out that he was so focused on coming in to have a look at the teacher that he forgot to close the door.

He regretted his carelessness in his heart, and slowly stood up on the bed, his head was not very bright, and he didn't know how to explain his actions just now to Zhang Su.

Zhang Su held a crooked candied haws in his hand, and at a glance, he could tell that Jiang's servant had skewered it for him on the spot, which was incomparable with the exquisitely crafted candied haws outside.

Zhang Su twisted a small face: "Brother Pei, what are you doing?"

Pei Xiangyun licked his lips, walked out of the room slowly, and closed the door by the way.

"actually, I……"

Zhang Su sighed suddenly, and tiptoed to pat him on the shoulder: "Brother knows that the teacher was too strict with you before, so it's understandable for you to feel unhappy, but you can't disturb him when the teacher is asleep, right?"

What is this talking about?

Hearing half of what he said, Pei Xiangyun knew that the child probably didn't see anything just now, and his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he said with a bit of weakness: "I didn't, I didn't bother him, I just remembered that I didn't help Master turn off the lights, so I just remembered." past."

"Is that so?"

Zhang Su nodded clearly: "Senior brother thought you were not angry with the teacher and said you wanted to disturb the teacher's sleep."

Why can't you be angry?

Pei Xiangyun pulled the corner of his lips, but he still didn't say anything, and only whispered: "I won't do that."

"It won't be fine."

Zhang Su bit the candied haws, and said vaguely: "Senior brother was not in Longxi last year, so I couldn't help you to intercede. But most of what the teacher said is correct, you have to be obedient, and then change according to what the teacher said, understand?"

"And it was the teacher who saw you standing outside during the family dinner just now and asked me to bring you in. Although the teacher doesn't speak well of you, he is still very soft-hearted."

So it was Jiang Yi who asked him to come in and eat at the same table?

Pei Xiangyun's heart suddenly warmed up. Hearing his young and mature tone, he gave a soft "hmm".

The two turned around the corner of the corridor together, and saw the general's wife waiting for them not far away.

Zhang Su tugged at his sleeve: "Stop making the teacher angry."

After he finished speaking, he ran towards the general's wife, plunged into his mother's arms, and winked at him with slightly sideways eyes.

Pei Xiangyun watched him leave, and his uneasy heart finally fell back.

He couldn't imagine what would happen if Zhang Su saw him kissing the teacher.

If that was the case, not only would he be sorry for Zhang Su, but he would also be ashamed to face the teacher, and all his efforts would be in vain.

but……

He stood in the faint candlelight, looking back towards the direction of the man's room.

How can he restrain the monster named "desire/thought" that has been clamoring in his heart?

-

When Jiang Yi woke up the next day, he didn't know whether it was because of the few cups of peach blossom brewed last night that he sweated to drive out the chill, or because of some other reason, but the previous feeling of typhoid fever disappeared.

He got up from the bed, but suddenly felt a slight tingle on his lips.

There is a bronze mirror on the table on one side.He walked over slowly, looked through the somewhat blurred mirror for a moment, and found that there seemed to be a small, harmless cut on his lip.

Jiang Yi didn't take the small wound to heart, and after a simple wash, he started to sort out the paperwork he wanted from the magistrate of Chengdeng.

The "Wangling Alliance" between Dayan and Wusi was signed in the second year of Emperor Hongwen's accession to the throne.

At that time, the forces in the court and China were intertwined. Everyone harbored evil intentions and harbored malicious intentions. They each had their own plans, and quietly stood in the teams of the princes, secretly coveting this doomed bloody battle for succession.

Only Father Jiang came back from Ningbei thousands of miles away, full of blood and wild sand beyond the Great Wall, first shocked the gang of ghosts and snakes.

Fortunately, Emperor Hongwen was not too muddy to support the wall. Even though he kept a low profile, as a prince, he had not lost any of the emperor's mental skills that he should have learned over the years. .

In order to avoid the suspicion of the emperor, Father Jiang retired after Emperor Hongwen succeeded in succeeding to the throne. The last thing he did was to fight against all opinions and decide to form an alliance with the Wusi people.

At that time, the situation had not been completely stabilized, and the calculation of making money was in vain. I wished that internal and external troubles would come to my door together, and maybe I could earn half of the benefits in the troubled times.

Father Jiang was worried that these people would take advantage of the chaos, so he decided to temporarily negotiate peace with Wusi, and exchanged the Central Plains for a country and a peaceful people in five years.

Emperor Hongwen really gave him face as the emperor's master, and he asked Jiang Yi to go to Chengdeng County to form an alliance as the envoy of the signing of the alliance without avoiding suspicion.

At that time, the relationship between Dayan and Wu Si was in dire straits.Wusi captured countless Han merchants who went to other places to do business and stayed in the capital as slaves. Before signing the covenant, Dayan was worried that the Wusi people would smash the jars and slaughter the Han captives, so they met with them at Shuidongjian Exchange prisoners.

After exchanging the captives, they signed the agreement. If they did not exchange, they kept procrastinating. The promised annual tribute and food were not at all. The bet was that Wusi, who was suffering from famine at the time, did not have the confidence to procrastinate with Dayan.

It's just that the matter of exchanging prisoners is not under Jiang Yi's control, but the Minister of the Ministry of War is responsible.

So much so that when signing the covenant, Jiang Yi didn't know whether the Han captives had been exchanged as promised, and could only rely on a letter from Longxi to determine the time to start negotiations.

He carefully flipped through the aged documents, only to feel that the pages were so crisp that they would shatter when touched.

The running regular script above is neat and elegant, probably written by the previous county magistrate of Chengdeng County.There is no trace of modification in the first part, and it describes in detail the people and events on the day of the alliance.

It's just that at the back, the handwriting seems to have become a little messy, and even ink stains splashed on the edge of the page, turning into a mass of dark stains.

Jiang Yi's eyes fell on the obviously disturbed handwriting, and he saw countless words that had been crossed out and changed.

The strokes of the outline were hasty and messy, and the ink used became thicker and thinner at times, only covering half of the original text below, and the remaining half was exposed, and what was written in the original text could be vaguely seen.

"That day, smoke and sand rose from Shuidongjian, and it seemed that there was an enemy attack. They retreated to a place more than five miles away from the stream, and brought back 15 prisoners, which did not match the previous plan..."

After this line was crossed out, the comment next to it read: "There is an error in the record here, and 23 captives were taken back, which is in line with the previous agreement."

This word is newly added, and it is very similar to Mu Hongcai's handwriting. According to the ink marks, it is inferred that the revision time is only more than a month, and it is likely to be the handwriting of the fake county magistrate.

Jiang Yi caressed the line of words lightly, feeling more and more doubts in his heart.

When he asked for this file at first, he simply wanted to see what the fake county magistrate, who lived in Chengdeng County, had other intentions besides opening three secret roads to attract the Us people, but he didn't want to find the strange traces of modification on the file .

Moreover, the letter he received back then did indeed say "A count of all 23 captives". Now that he saw this record that was deliberately outlined, he had to start to wonder what the real situation was at that time.

What are they afraid of?So much so that after so many years, the person behind the scenes specially sent someone to revise a dossier that was forgotten by the world?

Where did the missing eight go?

Jiang Yi listed the names of these people who might be related one by one on the paper, and outlined the relationship between them, but he still had no clue.

There was a light knock on the door, pulling him out of his thoughts.

He put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his sore eyes, the sick powerlessness tried to show his feet again.

Like a disease, not a disease...

If it was really a cold, he should already have a fever by now, and he wouldn't be able to read through the paperwork all afternoon with a clear mind.

Li Youchuan pushed the door open and poked his head in: "Master, didn't you say that you are going to a banquet today? Hurry up and get ready, the carriage is parked outside the house."

Jiang Yi responded, stood up rubbing the center of his brows, changed his clothes for going out, and then put on a big cloak.

In previous winters in Yandu, he felt that he was overdressed and looked bloated, and most of the time he only went out in one or two unlined clothes.

But it seems that he was indeed suffering from the cold yesterday, and his current physical condition does not allow him to wear too little.

The carriage waited quietly outside the door, and he was just about to help the carriage up, but suddenly noticed a fiery gaze that seemed to be glued to him.

Jiang Yi turned his head slightly, and saw that there seemed to be someone hiding behind the courtyard wall. He had just revealed half of his face, but now that he was discovered, he quickly retracted his head.

Deception...

He felt it was funny, and said to Li Youchuan, "Is that Pei Xiangyun standing over there?"

Li Youchuan stepped on his feet and glanced, a little uncertainly said: "Master, I can't see clearly."

"It's okay, you go and call him."

Jiang Yi gathered his cloak and got into the car of the carriage: "Pick out a decent suit of clothes for him, and follow me to the banquet."

Li Youchuan handled things very quickly, and brought the wolf cub who had changed his clothes over in a short while.

Sure enough, people rely on clothes.

Normally, Pei Xiangyun only changed a few sets of clothes, washed them, and turned pale. They were made by those half-assed people in the Longxi military camp who knew a little bit about tailoring and sewing, so they could barely be considered "wearable." , but far from being able to "see".

Now that he has changed into a set of spare single clothes in the mansion, he looks a lot more energetic, without the rustic feeling of crawling and rolling in the yellow earth, he looks like a noble family son.

Jiang Yi leaned in the car, lifted the curtain to look at his rebel carefully, pinched his chin unceremoniously, turned his face from side to side, and finally said with satisfaction: "It's okay, it looks pretty good. "

Pei Xiangyun inevitably touched his skin, thinking of the absurd things he did the night before, his face became hot again, and he murmured: "As long as Master likes it."

"like?"

Jiang Yi's eyes were slightly curved, and a pair of peach blossom eyes reflected the lights not far away, which seemed a little more watery: "I don't like it, but it looks good when you take it out, and it's not shameful."
