Chapter 209: stupid as a pig
"When you were young, His Majesty came to our residence to attend your birthday party."
Hearing what elder brother said, the panic in Pei Yi\'s heart faded a bit.
The brothers and sister chatted in the room for a while, and a servant came in to report: "Master, Eunuch Wei is here, and General Lu accompanied him to the living room."
Pei Xuanzong couldn\'t help but smiled lightly, and said to himself: This Lu Silang really knows how to do things.
Most of the soldiers in the barracks are not used to the human relations between nobles.
But the visitors from the palace really needed to be received, so Lu Silang took the initiative to take on this responsibility and did a good job.
Even better, Lu Silang has always wanted to befriend his second brother.
If the second brother gets along with him, he can learn a lot.
Pei Xuanzong thought for a while, and said softly: "Fanyin, you and I will meet Eunuch Wei."
"Yes." Pei Yi nodded obediently.
She understands that the eldest brother wants to show her the world and let her learn how to build a good relationship with various contacts.
The brothers and sisters came to the living room dedicated to receiving guests not long after.
Pei Yi saw a young general talking to a man dressed as an eunuch.
The little general can only be considered medium in stature, especially in front of a tall man like his elder brother, he looks a bit petite.
But the little general has a lot of momentum, so he won\'t be suppressed because of his small size.
Seeing Pei Xuanzong and others coming, the little general turned around and faced them, bowed his hands and said, "Master."
He paused for a moment, looked at Pei Yi in surprise and said, "This is the third master, right?"
"It\'s right here." Pei Yi said with a smile.
Actually, she wanted to imitate her elder brother and behave calmly.
But this little general looked very kind, with an indescribable sunshine in his whole body, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
Facing such a person, Pei Yi unconsciously relaxed, and she couldn\'t show her serious and steady air at all.
"This is General Lu Jing." Pei Xuanzong introduced.
Lu Jing?
Pei Yi couldn\'t help but look at the young general in front of him a few more times.
Actually, Lu Jing was just a soy sauce character in the original book, and he received a box lunch not long after he appeared on the stage.
But Pei Yi was very impressed with him.
In the book, Pei Erlang rebels were defeated and seriously injured.
Lu Jing protected Pei Erlang to break through and killed all the enemy troops.
The two fought and retreated all the way, and finally hid in a temple.
Enemy troops surrounded the temple heavily, and the two could not escape.
Seeing that the situation was over, Pei Erlang drew his sword and killed himself. Before he died, he told Lu Jing to cut off his head and go to the tyrant Huo Yuan to atone for his sins.
Lu Jing agreed on the spot without any hesitation.
But after Pei Erlang\'s death, Lu Jing set a fire and died together with Pei Erlang\'s body.
Pei Yi was really sad when she saw this place.
Lu Jing was originally a good general. If he really took Pei Erlang\'s head to see Huo Yuan, he would definitely avoid death, and there was a high probability that Huo Yuan would use him again.
At that time, some readers commented that Lu Jing was an idiot.
If Lu Jingzhen was so loyal to Pei Erlang, he should cut off Pei Erlang\'s head and go to see Huo Yuan, pretend to be loyal and then take the opportunity to assassinate Huo Yuan—actually learning from Jing Ke\'s assassination of the King of Qin.
But Pei Yi felt that it was because Lu Jing was extremely loyal that he couldn\'t do such a thing.
Because Lu Jing couldn\'t bear to let Pei Erlang\'s body be separated.
He set fire to burn Pei Erlang\'s body, in fact, he preserved Pei Erlang\'s last dignity.
Otherwise, the corpse of a rebel general will usually be humiliated by the victor, and he will not even live in peace after death.
Thinking of this, Pei Yi couldn\'t help feeling a little more fond of the loyal General Lu Jing, and saluted sincerely: "General Lu."
Lu Jing grinned, revealing two pointed little canine teeth, and said in a very boyish manner: "I\'m a four-year-old at home, and the third master can call me Shiro."
The **** has a fair face and beardless face. He looks about fifty years old and has a thin figure. He is obviously Eunuch Wei.
Seeing Pei Xuanzong and others entering the house, Eunuch Wei got up and stood aside with insight.
When the generals had almost finished talking, Eunuch Wei stepped forward and smiled kindly: "I have met Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei."
"The old slave is ordered by His Majesty to ask Mr. Pei to come to the palace."
"Just now, this old slave went to Pei\'s mansion, but I heard that Mr. Pei went out with Mr. Pei today."
"The old slave guessed that the son might have come to the military camp. Who would have thought that the old slave would have guessed it right."
"This is really thankful, otherwise this old slave would not know where to find Mr. Pei."
Pei Yi\'s complexion moved slightly, and she thought to herself: Brother\'s guess is indeed right. Huo Yuan entered the palace this morning, and now the emperor is anxious to ask her to enter the palace to inquire about the situation.
Pei Xuanzong exchanged some polite words with Eunuch Wei, and then said: "My third younger brother enters the palace for the first time, so I have to ask Eunuch Wei to give you some advice."
Eunuch Wei smiled kindly: "Don\'t worry, Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei is smart at first glance, and His Majesty will definitely like it."
Pei Xuanzong smiled lightly, thanked the other party for the compliment, and then suggested: "My third younger brother is timid. She is entering the palace for the first time, so I really feel worried and want to give her a ride."
Pei Yi\'s heart warmed up.
The eldest brother clearly saw that she was in a panic now, so he stood by her side to cheer her up.
"This..." Eunuch Wei showed hesitation.
The imperial palace is not a place where you can come and go casually. This time, His Majesty only summoned Pei Sanlang alone, so it is naturally impossible for the eldest son of the Pei family to go with him.
"Eunuch Wei, don\'t worry, I don\'t enter the palace, I just sent my third brother to the gate of the palace." Pei Xuanzong said.
In fact, even if he sent someone to the palace gate, Eunuch Wei didn\'t want to accept it.
But who doesn\'t know that the eldest son of the Pei family has always been difficult to talk to?
Now Shizi has taken a step back, if he should not do so, he would be too ungrateful.
Eunuch Wei could only smile earnestly and said: "Then follow what Mr. Pei said."
Pei Xuan Zong looked at Lu Jing, and ordered: "Lu Silang, you can **** the third master with me."
"Of order." Lu Jing bowed with a smile.
He looked extraordinarily youthful, with a little baby fat on his cheeks.
Pei Yi guessed that this little general was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
A group of people walked out of the barracks.
Eunuch Wei got into the carriage.
Pei Yi and his party accompanied them on horseback.
After a while, he walked to the palace gate.
Pei Yi looked at the majestic palace tower, and then at the serious guards guarding the gate of the palace, and suddenly felt an unspeakable sense of fear in her heart.
There was a poem that said: "If you don\'t see the emperor\'s residence, you will know the emperor\'s dignity."
Pei Yi didn\'t have any feelings at the time, but only when she saw it today did she realize the deep meaning.
The imperial city is majestic and majestic.
Before meeting the emperor, he was overwhelmed by the aura of the imperial city.
Seeing the Son of Heaven again, I am afraid that the fear in my heart will be even greater.
