When Pei Changsheng rushed to Black Bear Mountain, Xu Zhengyue and the others had already finished the first wave of work.When the nearby villagers saw them coming down the mountain covered in blood, none of them could see their original appearance, as if they had crawled out of hell and were terrifying.The villagers first ran home screaming in fright, and after waiting for a long time, they saw that they were only moving at the foot of the mountain and had no intention of entering the village, so they let down their guard.When it began to darken, their tent at the foot of the mountain had already been set up.Xu Qin asked people to set up a pot to boil snow water, and when Xu Zhengyue came down with people, he drank saliva and bathed.Therefore, when the three hundred or so bloody people came down from the mountain, they cleaned up as soon as possible, and then ate roast chicken, roast rabbit, and roast wild boar around the bonfire."
Master, the people of the four princes have been here, but Pei Changsheng didn't see it.""
My father was afraid that he would see that Black Bear Mountain was surrounded by us, so he ran away.""
If you don't run, are you waiting to be caught by us?"
Xu Qin took a mouthful speechlessly, and was honored to get a big white eye from Xu Zhengyue."
My father went up to take a look today, this should only be a stronghold for Pei Changsheng, he should have another stronghold.""
What!
How could he afford to raise so many private soldiers!
”Xu Qin was shocked.Xu Zhengyue is not surprised, before Pei Yuan and Xiao Wangshan joined forces to purge the military department, it was not uncommon to eat empty salaries.At that time, Pei Changsheng was still a general, and it was not surprising that he had more than 200,000 soldiers in his hands, and he had three or four empty salaries.There is the imperial court to support these people for him, and he can support it with a little more subsidy himself.That is, after clearing the account books of the Ministry of War, there was no possibility of empty salary, and Pei Changsheng could only pay for the soldiers by himself.I thought it could be supported at first, but later Liu Yanhuan raised the price of grain, and implemented low-price grain purchase restrictions, Pei Changsheng couldn't buy cheap grain, and in order to support these soldiers, he must have emptied his private treasury.Later, he was deprived of military power, and was placed under house arrest in Zhuangzi by the emperor in disguise, unable to communicate with the outside world in time, which led to the starvation of many people in Maoershan."
Xu Qin, what did you think of when you saw Pei Changsheng's fate?"
Xu Qin was puzzled, what could he think of?"
Master, you must not fall, if you fall, my little net worth and life will be gone!"
Xu Zhengyue laughed when she heard this, got up and left the camp."
Master, where are you going!
It's so late!
”Xu Zhengyue waved her hand, "Listen to you, go and hug your thighs, your grandfather and I can't fall!"
”Xu Qin: "......" is to hold or touch, don't you count it in your heart!
Pei Changsheng hid in a ditch in Black Bear Mountain, his heart dripping blood.If the people in Mao'er Mountain didn't run out, and his people in Black Bear Mountain folded in again, he would really be destitute!
These are the hard work of more than ten years of his business!
Pei Changsheng was still struggling, whether to take advantage of the night to go up to see the situation in the Black Bear Village, or to abandon it and leave.After seeing Xu Zhengyue riding away alone, he gritted his teeth and went up the mountain!
Xu Zhengyue galloped on horseback, entered the city when the city gate was closed, and then went all the way to the princess's mansion.Shuyi had already freshened up and was about to rest, when she suddenly heard a commotion in the courtyard, and after a while, Ziwei said outside the door: "Your Highness, it's Grandpa Guo who is here." ”Shuyi pursed her lower lip and got up to put on her clothes."
Let him in."
Xu Zhengyue pulled the sleeve that had just been torn by the guards in embarrassment, "I didn't expect the guards in your princess's mansion to be so powerful, and I was discovered when I just came in." ”Shuyi glanced at him, "Pei Yuan will come to me every once in a while to change the defense map." ”Xu Zhengyue snorted, a little surprised.Although he knew that Pei Yuan was just doing his best to do what he should do, he was still quite sour."
But there was something to eat, and on the way back, the horses were running so fast that I threw up."
Shuyi: "......"
Although she was speechless, Shuyi still told Zisu to get him something to eat."
Why did you come here at night?""
Uncle, I'm still hungry, and you're going to talk to me about business?
You little conscienceless. ”"If it's not an important business, please ask your uncle to pay for tonight's meal."
Xu Zhengyue poured herself a cup of hot tea, and after drinking several cups, she said: "I can hunt a lot of good goods in the Black Bear Mountain today, isn't Your Highness curious about how much I hunted?"
”Shuyi also poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said unhurriedly: "I'm afraid there aren't many, otherwise my uncle wouldn't have rushed back so early." ”Xu Zhengyue chuckled, "Do you look down on me so much?"
Although I'm old, I may not be as good as your favored minister, but how to say it, I am also in the prime of life, and my strength is at its peak. ”Hearing him compare himself to Pei Yuan, Shuyi pouted speechlessly.The nonsense rumors between himself and Pei Yuan, he knew that it was false, but he wanted to mention two sentences to stab her at every turn.Originally, she wanted to say a few words, but now she doesn't want to reply to a word."
Uncle should be old and strong, admire and admire."
Xu Zhengyue: "......" really dug a pit and jumped down by himself.Xu Zhengyue drank a full water, and didn't talk nonsense, and said: "Today, I took a private soldier of Pei Changsheng in Black Bear Mountain. ”Shuyi quickly distilled the key information in his words, "I didn't expect him to be a person who thinks about prevention, so did you ask where his other private army is hiding?"
”Xu Zhengyue shook her head, "Those people don't know. ”He was tired of cutting people in the afternoon, and those private soldiers said they didn't know.It seems that they really don't know, but they don't know, Pei Changsheng must know."
You expected Pei Changsheng to escape the arrest of the Criminal Department, and you also expected him to go to Mao'er Mountain and Black Bear Mountain, so you deliberately left tonight to give him a chance to exploit the loophole and fish out the hiding place of his other private army."
Xu Zhengyue nodded, with an expression of "I'm smart, praise me".Shuyi didn't see it, and continued, "That's why you came back from an hour and a half on a horse?
”"yes."
Xu Zhengyue said as a matter of course, "Aren't you afraid that you will miss me, so come back and let you see me." ”As he spoke, he propped up his chin with his hand and looked up at Shuyi slightly.Shuyi felt that she was in front of Xu Zhengyue, and there were only four big words - silence is golden.After spending a long time with abnormal people, she felt that she was about to become abnormal soon."
Your Highness, the meal is ready."
In the small kitchen, supper is prepared every day for the soldiers on duty.Zi Su came over and brought one over, and in her heart, Xu Zhengyue was enough to eat these.Xu Zhengyue didn't pick it, finished this meal, and asked Shuyi as a matter of course: "I'm staying here tonight, or where?"
”Shuyi glared at him and scolded, "Go back to your Ningguo Mansion!"
”Unscrupulous old man!
