Pei Gonggui

"Pei Yan?" When Pei Jun saw it was her, he raised his hand and wanted to stand up, but when he moved his arm, he felt a sharp bone-gouging pain, which made him fall back on the couch with a muffled grunt.

"Don't move!" Pei Yan hastily held him down, gently put his left arm wrapped in thick gauze into the quilt, and hurriedly probed his forehead, "Your arm is injured too badly, and you won't be able to use the medicine right now." It's over, I've been in a coma for the past few days. Qian Haiqing went to ask his grandfather to come over to see you for a doctor, and he will be there later—"

"I'm not dreaming, am I..." Pei Jun lay on his back on the couch and watched her busy, raised his right hand to grab her wrist with sore eyes, "Pei Yan... are you okay? What about Xuan'er? Where's Mei Liu? Qian Siqi Why are you with me? Could it be that the third ship—”

"I was rescued by the third patrol boat. Pei Jun, this is already Jiangnan, and everyone is in one place right now, so you can relax." Pei Yan didn't have time to answer him, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, Stand up, "Mr. Zhao must be here."

She hurriedly opened the door, and she saw Zhao Guqing leading a doctor walking in quickly: "How is Mr. Pei?"

Zhao Guqing turned around the door screen and saw that Pei Jun really woke up in the couch, he hurriedly stopped and cupped his fists to bow to Pei Jun, and said in a choked voice: "Master Pei has suffered so much, please be respected by Mr. Zhao!"

"Mr. Zhao can't make it..." Pei Jun braced his right arm and raised his body with difficulty, "This trip has been difficult, because the younger generation is not thinking well and left in a hurry, and now even Prince Jin-"

"Master Pei must not say such a thing." Zhao Guqing brought the doctor to Pei Jun's side, and said earnestly, "Man is not as good as God, and victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. I have heard about Lord Yan and Lord Fang. ——Master Pei risked his life to find the whereabouts of the prince. This is an act of great righteousness. Not only Zhao admired him, but also the soldiers who followed you all respected him very much. Now that the prince is still alive, we will definitely meet again in the future On that day, the most important thing for Mr. Pei at present is to take care of his body quickly."

The doctor had already started to change Pei Jun's dressing, tearing off the gauze and taking away the pus scar, Pei Jun frowned deeply in pain: "Where are we in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"Tea Mountain." Zhao Guqing replied, "Although the Prince of Jin bought a lot of properties in the south of the Yangtze River, this is the only place that can be regarded as isolated from the world. When we parted ways in the middle of the river that day, I thought the pursuers were coming for you, so they made a detour on the river. Returning support with a plan, I didn't expect to find that the second ship had sunk and the first ship had been destroyed when I went back, so I had the idea of ​​giving it a try. I searched on the floating reefs in the river all night, but I really found it. I missed your sister and Young Master Mei. Seeing that both of them were injured, I decided to come here for them to recuperate. I only left a message for our original appointment. Master Fang and Master Yan followed the message last night. "

Pei Jun listened carefully to his words, his complexion gradually changed: "If only the two of them are rescued... then where is Jiang Xuan?" He immediately looked at Pei Yan: "Where is Xuan'er?"

Pei Yan's brows trembled, she lowered her head under his gaze, and said to Zhao Guqing: "Mister is busy, let me talk to him later."

The doctor had finished changing the medicine, so Zhao Guqing followed the doctor's advice and led the doctor out.

Pei Yan waited for them to lead the door out, sighed, sat beside Pei Jun and said: "Xuan'er was captured by the pursuers, right now...he should have been brought back to the capital."

Hearing the words, Pei Jun's heart suddenly turned cold, and he heard Pei Yan continue: "That day, Mei Liu and I were protecting Xuan'er and wanted to jump off the boat, but there were too many pursuers, Mei Liu was protecting me and Xuan'er... I was cut and wounded, and the mast of the boat suddenly fell, throwing me into the river. At that time, Xuan'er had been dragged away by the pursuers, and Mei Liu could not deal with it alone, so she had to dive into the water to save me..."

"How is Meiliu now?" Pei Jun didn't know which one to worry about first, "I saw him hit by the sword that day, was he seriously injured?"

Pei Yan turned around and brought a glass of water to the table, her back stiffened when she heard the words, she paused and then replied: "It's out of danger, but I still need to take good care of it."

Seeing her lonely back, Pei Jun guessed that she was blaming herself and feeling guilty, so he couldn't bear to ask any more, thought for a while and said: "Xuan'er is just a child, and he has never had any feud with Jiang Zhan, and Jiang Zhan also issued an edict to make Xuan'er his heir. Seeing Xuan'er returning to the capital, he should be kept here, and he will come to threaten us after the Cai Yan rebellion is put down in the future. In this way, Xuan'er's life will not be in danger right now."

Pei Yan handed the water to him, raised her hand, nodded her eyes, and forced a smile at him: "Mr. Zhao said the same thing. He told me not to worry, and said that when he returns to Beijing, he will definitely rescue Xuan'er." .”

"That's right." Pei Jun patted the back of her hand, looked at her carefully for a while, and seeing that she was really well at the moment, he nodded slowly, "It's a perfect situation for you and Mei Liu to be out of danger. , you should stay with Mr. Zhao to cultivate, and Ming Jue'er and senior brother will also stay to help you—"

"What about you? Are you going to leave?" Pei Yan became nervous when she heard the meaning of his words, "Your injuries are already serious, you must stay and recuperate."

"No matter how serious it is, it is a skin trauma, and it will be cured soon after taking the medicine." Pei Jun sat on the edge of the couch, pulled his boots on his feet with one hand, and said solemnly, "We are safe and sound here, but King Jin is still outside. I don't know if I'm alive or dead... One more day is more dangerous, I have to find him."

"No, you are dying!" Pei Yan immediately stopped in front of him, and said with red eyes, "You are wanted everywhere outside, your portraits are posted all over the city, whether it is the imperial court or the Cai family, they all want to I want your life. Pei Jun, I have already lost Xuan'er, and I must never lose you again!"

"But King Jin also needs me, so I have to save him!" Pei Jun looked up into her eyes, "We are still alive because of King Jin's men and horses guarding us all the way; this place is safe, and it was arranged by King Jin Real Estate for us." How did he treat us? How did he save you and treat Xuan'er? He is still suffering outside, how can I let him go? "

He walked around Pei Yan, grabbed the clothes on the stool beside him and put them on.Pei Yan couldn't stop him, he opened the door and was about to go out, but when he opened the door, he saw someone standing outside.

The man's neck was wrapped in gauze, and his face was still a little bruised. He seemed to be hesitating whether to knock on the door at this time, but he didn't expect Pei Jun to open the door and come out.

Seeing that Pei Jun was taken aback, he took a half step back awkwardly, raised his face to look at Pei Jun, narrowed his lovely phoenix eyes, and with a big grin on his mouth, he raised his hand and opened it to Pei Jun. up his arms.

"Mei Liu?" Pei Jun hurriedly stepped forward and put him in his arms, pinching his chin and shaking, "Boy, why are you standing here? What's wrong with your injuries?"

Mei Linyu nodded at him with a busy smile, as if saying, "It's all good, all is good."

Seeing him like this, Pei Jun's smile froze slightly: "What's the matter, why don't you speak?"

Mei Linyu was still grinning on the handsome face pinched between his fingers, but water was shining in her curved phoenix eyes, and she shook her head at him with her neck stuck.

"Speak up..." Pei Jun patted his face with his hands, and began to panic, "Liu Liu, don't scare brother, talk quickly, talk!"

But Mei Linyu raised her hands to hold his hands, suppressing the tears in her eyes, and still shook her head at him.

Pei Jun suddenly felt a crack in his chest, and a huge coldness spread from his back, soon covering his whole body.

Beside him came Pei Yan's low sobs, that voice seemed to be an extremely accurate echo, confirming the terrible guess in his heart.

"No..." Pei Jun trembled all over, and grabbed Mei Linyu's shoulders with both hands, "You are still standing here alive, how could..."

"The chasing soldier chopped him on the neck, and after jumping off the boat, he was submerged in the river..." Pei Yan sat weakly on the stool in the room, and whimpered, "I helped him stop the bleeding. Save your life, but when Mr. Zhao found us, he was already speechless..."

"What did the doctor say?" Pei Jun turned to her and asked.

Pei Yan mourned: "The doctor said that his throat is broken, and in the future... it will be impossible to speak again."

"What..." Pei Jun took a step back tremblingly, hearing the words, he felt thunderbolt.

He stared blankly at Mei Linyu who was still smiling at him, and in an instant, every joke and every bickering Mei Linyu had told him in the past few years was poured into his mind, like a monstrous huge wave engulfing him.

Those things that made him laugh out loud in the past, now make his eyes sour and tears fall——

Mei Linyu's mouth is the magic weapon for him to settle down, and he is the most restless on weekdays.He coaxed no one in the capital to dislike him or help him with his gleaming mouth, and also used his mouth to live a lively and joyous life, calling his relatives and friends happy...

But from now on, his mouth can no longer speak.

In an instant, guilt poured into Pei Jun's chest like a river, causing him to step forward and hold Mei Linyu's face again, choking with difficulty: "I'm sorry... Lao Liu, brother I'm sorry..."

Mei Linyu shook her head desperately, covered his mouth, then quickly raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, hugged him, patted his back, and let out a hissing sob from her throat.

"Pei Jun, I beg you...you stay."

Pei Yan supported the table and stood up, and said with a trembling voice: "He needs you too."

In the capital city, Cai Yan entangled with the forbidden army for several days after he entered, he did not hesitate to kill or wound soldiers and destroy the city, and finally broke through the imperial city with fire. middle.

He imprisoned Jiang Zhan in the Chongning Palace and forced him to issue an edict to let the reinforcements retreat. Then, on the third day after occupying the imperial city, he couldn't wait to ascend the throne and declare the emperor to the world. He lived in Yanqing Palace, north of the imperial city, and gave three hundred servants to monitor his actions day and night.

Cai Lan often visits the palace and sees her father's first power minister, but now he is reduced to the appearance of a bird in a cage. She couldn't bear it, and asked Cai Yan why he was like this, but Cai Yan only said:

"Father is too smart, I have to guard against it."

Cai Yan inherited Cai Yan's suspiciousness and insidiousness, and the brutality honed by the battlefield flows in his body.He cleaned up the forces in Beijing, incorporated the army, changed the commander of the forbidden army, and pretended to persuade the reinforcements who did not want to retreat, but they killed them if they failed; , but for the sake of reputation, he was dissuaded by counselors.

He was so angry that he could only put Zhang Ling in prison and strictly prohibited visitation. He also beat Jiang Zhan to vent his anger, asked Pei Jun's whereabouts, denounced Pei Jun as a traitor, and offered a huge reward for his head. Anyone who was once related to the Pei party was also ordered to be eradicated.

People in the capital were in panic, and there was a lot of turmoil in the court, but Cai Yan didn't stop there.

That night, because he was afraid that Jiang Zhan would gather his old cronies to fight back and restore the restoration, he sent people to the Chongning Palace, saying that he would search all the porcelain, swords, paper and pens in Jiang Zhan's palace, so that Jiang Zhan could not resist him. It is also impossible to contact the outside world.

Jiang Zhan and Jiang Xuan were sitting together in the corner of the Chongning Hall, watching Cai Yan's troops break into the hall like locusts, and they searched away all the things that could be used as weapons and all the valuables in his hall. When he saw a person reaching out to take away the golden rooster paperweight on his table, he suddenly got up and rushed towards it, but was thrown to the ground immediately, took a heavy punch in the lower abdomen, and collapsed to the ground.

Jiang Xuan screamed in fright and hid under the case, until he saw those bandit-like people laughing and leaving, he dared to crawl to Jiang Zhan's side, crying and asking: "Uncle Huang, who are they?"

Jiang Zhan raised his hand to wipe off the blood from his lips, gritted his teeth and said, "A terrific villain."

Jiang Xuan suddenly held his hand and said timidly: "Uncle Huang, I'm afraid."

The warmth of his fingers made Jiang Zhan tremble.

Jiang Zhan looked down at the pair of small hands, saw that there were still some unfaded acne scars on the back of the hands, immediately frowned, turned his eyes away, closed his eyes for a while, and wanted to let go of these hands cruelly, but struggled for a while, but I found myself clenching those little hands even more tightly.

After a few breaths, he turned to Jiang Xuan and asked seriously: "Xuan'er, if you can escape, would you like to do the uncle a favor?"
