Except for the Zhengdan Dynasty, from the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival every year, the Tang Dynasty had long holidays from top to bottom. In addition to the necessary government orders and military and national affairs, the rest of the government affairs would wait until after the Lantern Festival. Since they rushed to the Xiwang Tooth Account before the New Year to finish the matter, they knew that there was no need to hurry back, Pei Kuan and Pei Guo agreed to the invitation of Xiwang Li Lusu and Princess Gu'an, and stayed with their entourage. As soon as Pei Guo came out of the tooth Account, he took the initiative to find Du Shiyi and asked him directly the question he was most concerned about.

"Do you know about the whereabouts of Senior Brother Gongye?"

Not only did he know the truth, but he was originally in the tent of King Xi.

Du Shiyi wanted to answer this way, but it was not the first time he had learned Gong Yejue's stubborn temper. After thinking about it, he had to say vaguely: "Mr. Gong Ye is elusive and can't explain it clearly for a while. General Pei, it's inconvenient to speak here. How about you and I go back to the account to talk in depth?"

After all, Pei Guo tried to find a reason to wait for Pei Kuan, the Tang envoy in Youzhou. For the private matter, he looked at Pei Kuan and saw that he did not seem to have any urgent official duties to say to Du Shiyi, so he followed him back to the tent. After sitting down, he, who was a little impatient on his face, heard Du Shiyi asking about Gong Yejue's past entrusting his younger generation. He was stunned, and his face gradually showed a deep depression.

"I knew... Senior brother is a person who never owe favors. Because I was negligent for a while, he made him feel sorry for his old friend, so I had no shame to see him again in recent years." Pei Guo sighed deeply, and then said with regret, "If it weren't for his tough temper, the past few days of remarks on military merit would have surpassed me who is now a single army..."

"General Pei, please don't always think about the past. Everyone has their own ambitions. Mr. Gongye chose the most suitable path for him, and General Pei chose the path that best shows his strengths. What's more, when Cui Shiyilang and I first learned swords from Mr. Gongye, he once entrusted us to inquire about General Pei's recent situation. Obviously, he also cared about you very much, and it was definitely not a knot."

"Oh?" Pei Guo's eyes were so grand. Seeing Du Shiyi nodding again, he couldn't help but stand up with his knees. After a while, he sighed, "I wonder if I can still have the honor to fight with my senior brother and Ma Zheng in this life?"

Outside the big tent, Gong Yejue was holding a wine gourd in his hand, looking at the situation in the tent with hesitation. Suddenly, his heart moved suddenly. Seeing Yue Wuniang, who had been slapped behind him, he smiled and said, "You must touch my body casually, wait ten years."

"snort"

Yue Wuniang raised her eyebrows with some annoyance, then cunningly hooked her fingers back. At this time, the young monk Luo Ying immediately came up happily. He had just followed Pei Kuan and Pei Guo and his party back to King Xi's tent. Although he was tired all the way, when Yue Wuniang asked him to apologize and thank him, although he was upset that he missed a major event, he still felt happy. Therefore, even though he was facing Gongyejue, a senior monk in Shaolin Temple who treated many senior monks with courtesy, he still had enough courage.

"What are the instructions for Madam Yue?"

"Mr. Gongye... No, in this Xi Wang's den, I should call you General Pei Han. You said that the little monk and I joined forces to entangle you, and then shouted General Pei Tan. Will he recognize you?" Yue Wuniang saw Gongye Jue's face suddenly changed, and she smiled even more and more. "You have your difficulties, of course I didn't force you to meet someone. However, General Pei Guo is the general guarding the first army. This time, he came here specially for the letter that Du Shijiulang brought with you. It's been the old thing many years ago, and he has been avoiding each other. They have a knot in their hearts. Even if they can't be open and honest, what's the matter with a private meeting?

"have a finger in the pie"

Seeing that Gong Yejue was really leaving, Luo Ying couldn't help but ask in a daze: "Madam Yue, don't you stop him?"

"What are you and I can't stop you and I can't stop someone's one hand." Yue Wuniang knocked heavily on the monk's head with a grin. Seeing that although she was grinning, her eyes were staring at her, she couldn't help but sigh, stretched out her hand and stroked the place she had just knocked, and suddenly asked with her eyes shining, "Luo Ying, do you like me a little?"

This straightforward question immediately stunned the little monk. Luo Ying felt a fire in his heart suddenly exploded, and his whole body was full of hot and hot, and he stuttered. In the end, he still bit his tongue hard, and finally regained his mind, but the voice was still lighter than a mosquito, and his words were incoherent and unruly: "Yes... no, not me, just... I just wanted to look at Madam Yue from afar, and there was no indecent thought. At that time, I just wanted to take a look at Madam Yue from afar, but I didn't expect..."

"Stop talking," Yue Wuniang interrupted Luo Ying with a smile, then withdrew her hand, and then said slowly, "You have seen too few women. Actually, I have a bad temper and impulsive person. What's more, I'm not a good person at all. This time, I occasionally have kindness and sent you away by sending you a letter. Otherwise, if something happens, you will die with me."

"I'm not afraid of death"

When the little monk heard that such unthinking words burst out from his mouth, Yue Wuniang was stunned and almost laughed back and forth. Until she found that Luo Ying's face was as swelling as blood, she stopped and then said softly: "In life, you still have countless joys, angers, sorrows and happiness, sorrows, don't say the word death casually. I am different from you. Although you are an orphan adopted by Master Chongzhao of Anguo Temple, you have never seen many dark and ugly things in Anguo Temple or Shaolin Temple. Life is the most valuable for you. Remember, don't be deceived by a woman like me in the future? For example, if I lied to you to send a letter to Mr. Gongye in Youzhou, it is not for this purpose..."

Seeing that Yue Wuniang's face was almost right in front of her nose, and saying these things that she didn't understand and didn't want to understand, Luo Ying felt that she was stiff. Until she saw Yue Wuniang straightening her waist and smiling again, then turned around and left. He didn't know where the courage came from, but he stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve.

"I don't care what you said"

When Du Shiyi sent Pei Guo out of the tent, he saw the scene of Yue Wuniang and the young monk pulling and pulling. He was angry and funny, and he had to pretend to have nothing to notice. He sent Pei Guo seriously to Pei Kuan and his group's camp. When he went to see Pei Kuan, Pei Ning's elder brother was obviously not a person who was used to saying polite words. He said straightforwardly: "Du Shijiulang, I really didn't expect that your journey to observe the wind in the north was really the same. First in the Tongluo tribe, and then in the Xi Wang's tent, he encountered troubles one after another. Fortunately, you are very lucky and loyal, and you all escaped. If it weren't for my business this time, my third brother would have to transfer to the Ministry of Revenue to gather and meet the Holy Tribe before he could meet the provincial examination next year. I was persuaded by me, otherwise I would have to follow me."

Pei Ning is a cold-faced person. Du Shiyi had known for a long time that his heart was warm at this moment, so he could not thank Pei Kuan again. When Pei Kuan explained to him carefully and thoughtfully the changes and various events in the court, and after he thought about the way home, Pei Kuan said again: "Du Shijiulang, although he had a simple and profound conversation, I still want to say a few words about your appointment as an official. This is also before I leave.

The meaning of the grand brother Pei Zuocheng. With your contributions to the successive establishment, it is certain that you don’t have to continue to be elected when you return to the court, but I suggest you not to be too hasty. Generally speaking, the Jinshi was elected and appointed as an official, either as an proofreader or a regular person, or as a county magistrate or a military officer, or as a state prefecture. However, he has always valued the capital officials but was less than the foreign officials, so there is no need to say that the former is pure and noble, and the Secretariat's proofreader is the most noble among all officials."

Although Wu Pei of the South Gate is not as good as the Pei family in Hedong, he is also a famous family. He is now prosperous in the court. He intends to remind him that this outsider is naturally because of Pei Ning. Du Shiyi understands in his heart and naturally thanks him repeatedly. In the blink of an eye, it is Li Lusu. Li Lusu set up a banquet to entertain the envoys of the Tang Dynasty and the tribes. Before the bonfire, the Xi girl danced hotly, and the pipa sounded fast. For a while, many people were drunk. The Princess Gu'an gently tricked Li Lusu and quietly left the table first. Soon, he ordered Zhang Yao to send a message, and soon called Du Shiyi.

The sister and brothers both got on horseback amid the noise in front of them and came to the bank of Laoha River. Seeing the wind on all sides of the mountain, the grass and trees under their feet were withered, Princess Gu'an turned around and looked at Du Shiyi and said, "I don't know how long it will take to see this landscape, but you can finally go back."

"Sister..." Du Shiyi thought of the book that made Li Lusu still use Princess Gu'an as his wife, and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. Then she tried hard to cheer up and said, "When I return to the capital, I will often write letters to my sister."

"Then you have to say? If you dare to cut off the message, be careful I will expose you and Madam Wang." Although it was fierce, Princess Gu'an reached out and grabbed Du Shiyi's horse-head reins, allowing the two mounts to get closer. Even her biological mother didn't have much time to spend together in her life. Her father's mother and brothers and sisters were even more alienated like outsiders, and her only child was strangled by her own hands. Only Zhang Yao was half of her relative. Now that she recognized this younger brother, she wanted to leave all the best things to Du Shiyi, so she gave her a moment of intimacy with a word of concern. When she learned that Pei Kuan had made such a suggestion, she frowned slightly, but expressed her different opinions.

"It is good to have a clerk in the Secretariat, but since the reign of Emperor Tianhou, the emperors of all dynasties gradually lived in the Daming Palace, and the Secretariat in the Tai Chi Palace is not as good as before. After all, the saints are not so interested. They go to the Secretariat in order to read a book? It is indeed not easy to be conspicuous for foreign officials, but the county magistrates in the counties in Gyeonggi Province can do as much as possible based on your family's reputation. If you can preside over an examination, you may not be able to accept people after you return to Beijing. You can discuss with Du Siwen, the Duke of Jingzhao, and you can also ask Princess Yuzhen for advice without rushing. Of course, the most important thing is the saint. If you can let the saint meet you again, it is better than any plan."

Speaking of this, Princess Gu'an took a deep breath and handed a horse whip in her hand to Du Shiyi: "You are leaving, and I won't give you all the common things like gold, silver, pearls and jade. This horse whip was made by me by myself. You can leave it as a souvenir, which is also a token of commanding my guards. Remember, sister, I'll wait for you to be a high-ranking official in Chang'an City and support me in the future."

"good"
