BXBX NOVEL Chapter 374: rebellious
As far as the current situation is concerned, nine out of ten Gu Huaiyu is secretly delivering money and food for the fifth prince\'s private soldiers.
But Gu Huaiyu is very cautious, making it difficult for people to grasp the handle.
Moreover, Gu Huaiyu is still a slippery person, even if he is caught, this person may be able to brazenly beg for his forgiveness and get away.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuan secretly thought that he had to do more in secret, otherwise it might not be easy to get the result.
After some discussion, it\'s time for dinner.
Pei Yi naturally invited Huo Yuan to have dinner together.
Huo Yuan was a little absent-minded after eating, mainly because he was embarrassed to say that he wanted to live in the county government office—he had left the county government office by himself before, but today he came to the county government office to find Pei Yi because of the need to discuss important matters. .
But now that the matter has been discussed, he himself still lingers in the government office and doesn\'t want to leave. This matter is... a little unreasonable.
While he was struggling with what to do, Pei Yi at the side smiled and suggested: "Your Highness should still rest in the previous wing tonight."
The other party gave him a step, Huo Yuan quickly caught it, and replied with pretending to be reserved: "That\'s fine."
After saying that, Huo Yuan himself blushed a little—in fact, things have come to this point, and it doesn\'t make sense for him to show a little arrogance, anyway, Pei Yi obviously sees through his thoughts.
A group of people took a walk in the yard to eat and drink, and chatted about homework for a while, and after a while, they went back to their own rooms to rest.
Pei Yi had things on her mind, so naturally she couldn\'t fall asleep so early.
She dug out the files of the county government about the famine last year and looked it up carefully, trying to find some clues.
Looking at the file like this, Pei Yi didn\'t notice it for a long time.
When there was a sudden knock on the door of the room, Pei Yi woke up with a trembling all over her body. Looking at the hourglass in the room, she realized that it was already the beginning of the year. In modern times, it was more than nine o\'clock in the middle of the night. In ancient times, it was really It\'s rather late.
She closed the file and asked seriously, "Who is it?"
The person outside the house replied softly: "Sanlang, it\'s me, Ah Heng."
Pei Yi was silent.
In her opinion, Xiao Junji was full of romantic thoughts all day long, so it must be nothing serious to come to her in the middle of the night.
Pei Yi was silent for a moment, then said: "It\'s late at night today, and I\'m also tired. Let\'s discuss tomorrow if there is anything else."
The man outside the house didn\'t seem to expect her to speak like this. After a short silence, he insisted: "But what I want to say is indeed very important, and I must make it clear tonight, otherwise it will be dangerous if I delay for a moment."
Pei Yi heard his serious tone, and secretly thought that this matter could not be faked—if Xiao Junji just said such nonsense to deceive her just to meet her late at night, then his character is really bad.
"Xiao Shizi, come in and talk." Pei Yi then let go.
After finishing the words, the door of the room was gently pushed open from the outside with a "squeak".
Xiao Junji stepped across the threshold and turned around to close the door, and then walked quickly towards Pei Yi—every one of these actions was in a hurry, it could be seen that he really had something urgent to say and was in a hurry.
Seeing this, Pei Yi\'s expression became more serious, and she asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?"
Xiao Junji sat down next to her, and looked up at the pierced window—from here he could see what was going on in the yard and know if anyone was eavesdropping outside.
Pei Yi knew what he was worried about when he saw his movements, and said easily: "Qi Sha rests in the side room next to him. With him, others can\'t get close to our side room. If you have something to say, Ah Heng may as well speak up."
Xiao Junji originally wanted to say in a strange way: Saburo, you really trust Qisha.
But then I thought about it, this time I came to discuss important matters, how could I lead the conversation to the jealousy?
Xiao Junji had no choice but to suppress the jealousy in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Sanlang should remember that I told you during the day that His Majesty wanted me to meet in Beijing."
Pei Yi nodded calmly and said, "I remember this."
Xiao Junji slightly pursed his lips and smiled, and jokingly said: "One side of the emperor will not call the eldest son of the chief official of the frontier to meet him for no reason."
The Patriarch of the Xiao Family is the King of Huainan personally appointed by His Majesty. Although the territory is in Huainan, he stays in Jinzhou all the year round.
Pei Yi heard that there was something in his words, and when she thought about it carefully, she couldn\'t help but feel a little bit in her heart.
Her expression became extremely solemn, and she lowered her voice and asked, "Is it possible... Your Majesty suspects King Huainan..."
The latter words were really disrespectful, Pei Yi only wrote the word "anti" on the small table between the two of them with her hands.
Xiao Junji nodded, and said with a smile: "Isn\'t that the reason? If I enter the capital this time, His Majesty will definitely let me live in the capital—in other words, I will become the proton of the Xiao family in the capital. In the future If the Xiao family really does something, will I be safe in the capital alone?"
Pei Yi originally wanted to say: My Pei family will definitely take good care of you.
But when the words came to her lips, Pei Yi suddenly realized that the matter was of great importance. At that time, whether her father and brothers would help Xiao Junji out of danger would be another matter.
She thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Then are you still in Beijing?"
Xiao Junji suddenly looked at her with his cheeks on his cheeks, and smiled limply. He asked casually, "If I report to the emperor that I will not accept the climate and soil after arriving in Wanshou County, I will be on the verge of life and death, so I just go back home. Sanlang thinks Will the emperor believe it?"
Pei Yi\'s face was solemn, and she said firmly: "Your Majesty will definitely not believe it. He deliberately called you into the palace, but you deliberately avoided it. Your Majesty will only believe that Huainan King has a ghost in his heart, and the Xiao family will be in a difficult situation then."
After all, once the emperor decides that you intend to rebel, then you must have no way out. It is reasonable for the imperial court to send troops to attack Jinzhou.
"Hey..." Xiao Junji sighed, with a melancholy expression on his face, "Sanlang\'s words are indeed reasonable. But I will definitely not go to the capital—there is the dragon\'s pond and tiger\'s den, and I am afraid that I will never return."
Pei Yi didn\'t answer the question.
She was thinking about other things in her mind—Gu Huaiyu, Xiao Junlin, the second son of the Xiao family in Jinzhou, had various activities in the capital as a businessman. Is this Xiao Junlin\'s personal behavior, or is it the King of Huainan\'s instruction~www At the time of .mtlnovel.com~, the male protagonist Xiao Junlin was so radiant that he seemed to be responsible for all the credit—including the rebellion of the Xiao family, which seemed to be the result of his persuasion alone.
But now that I put myself in my shoes, I\'m afraid that\'s not the case.
After all, Xiao Junlin is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, about the same size as her—with such an age and status, how can Xiao Junlin have so much power to move around?
