235【Hibiscus Banquet】

Many times, even though you know there is a pit ahead, you still have to jump in without hesitation. This is the normal state of life.

For Qin Xu, since he gave up the plan to seize power from the beginning, and he could enjoy the scenery and beauties along the way with peace of mind, and in the end he could get a lot of credit by virtue of his status as a temple supervisor and an envoy, then he was now facing Pei Yue's second

Once you make a request, you can't say no no matter what.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Mr. Yan, at least let him know the court's determination, so as not to cause an unspeakable incident in the end."

After Qin Xu thought for a moment, he said righteously.

Pei Yue smiled softly, cupped his hands and said, "Then there is Lord Lao Qin. I will wait for good news here."

Qin Xu quickly waved his hand and said: "Don't be anxious, Brother Pei, I'll go see Mr. Yan in two days, but you have to do me a small favor first."

Pei Yue knew that it was hard for him to endure it. He wanted to say something as soon as he entered the door, but he was blocked by his words and finally had to accept the job. Fortunately, Qin Xu made a good impression on him along the way.

, at least he was an informed person, so he smiled and said: "If you have something to say, tell me directly, and I will naturally do my best."

When Qin Xu heard this, he smiled and said with satisfaction: "He is indeed an open-minded person. In fact, it is not difficult. Brother Pei may not know that the Furong Banquet is held every year at this time in Xingyang City, in the Qiujiang Tower of Yonghefang. It is said that there are

There is an extremely vast living pool with lotus flowers planted all over it. Now is the lotus viewing season, so it is such a coincidence that you must see it."

Pei Yue laughed dumbly and said: "Master Qin, Brother Qin, you should know that I am a vulgar person, the kind of person who cannot tolerate vulgarity. Asking me to appreciate the lotus is like playing the harp to an ox."

Although his words were already excused by self-deprecation, Qin Xu still persevered and persuaded: "Brother Pei, please listen to me. This hibiscus banquet is not only about appreciating lotuses, but also the nine people from Yonghefang performing on the stage.

. Even if you are not interested in lotus flowers, you are always interested in beauties, right? You must know that these nine people are always very proud of their status. They are all the leading ladies in every building, and they will not appear at the same time. "

He spoke so loudly that he was very different from his usual gentle and gentle image.

Pei Yue looked at him strangely and asked curiously: "Master Qin, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"

In the past, when Qin Xu went to those places with fireworks, he would never communicate with him, let alone drag him along. Now that there are nine oirans, he would have flown away long ago, so how could he be here?

Are you wasting your time here?

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Qin Xu also knew that the young man in front of him was extremely thoughtful, so he had to say honestly: "I don't know who started it. When the nine people heard that you were also in Lingzhou, they let it out. If Pei

Since the imperial envoy is unwilling to take the time to go there, this year's Furong Banquet will not be held, and we would rather leave it vacant for a year."

Pei Yue knew that he would not lie, so he was even more confused. He pointed at his face and said, "Do I have such a great reputation?"

Qin Xu pretended to be surprised and said: "Don't you know how famous you are now?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Qin Xu extended his thumb and praised: "In the past hundred years of our country, there has been no one as humble and prudent as you in martial arts, if not unprecedented, at least at least unprecedented."

"Master Qin, if you continue to be so verbose, I may have to escort you to Linqing County."

"Come on, let me just talk about it briefly. Before last winter, your name was only well-known in Kyoto, far from being famous all over the world. But after the trip to Yongzhou, especially the honeycomb briquettes began to be popular in May.

Do you know how many people are talking about your achievements? Lingzhou is well-informed.

In this land, the things you have done have already caused a lot of talk, mostly words of praise. Of course, the most important thing is that you are too young. You are only sixteen years old this year. Everyone in the world loves young heroes. Like me.

Even if a humble man like this could accomplish the deeds you did, I'm afraid no one would care about him."

Qin Xu lamented at the end, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

Pei Yue couldn't help laughing when he looked at his appearance. If he hadn't known that this man was only in his thirties, he might have been deceived.

He ignored the other party's flattery and asked directly: "So the nine families in Xingyang City are telling you that if I don't go to Qiujiang Tower, this year's Furong Banquet will be cancelled?"

Qin Xu nodded sadly.

Pei Yue asked again: "If I insist on not going to Qiujiang Tower, Master Qin will not go to Linqing County?"

Qin Xu subconsciously wanted to nod, but he quickly realized it and shook his head slowly: "Brother Pei, what are you talking about? Although Qin is stupid, he can't distinguish between public and private."

Pei Yue didn't care about his hesitation and said with a gentle expression: "Master Qin, please come back."

Qin Xu was surprised and said: "Then you agreed?"

Pei Yue nodded slightly and said: "This is the first time Mr. Qin has spoken to me. I must give him this face, otherwise Governor Luo will not agree."

Although the two are nominally superiors and subordinates, that is only externally speaking. Nowadays, in private rooms, people naturally do not pay attention to those false etiquettes, so Pei Yue's words are relatively straightforward, and Qin Xu doesn't mind. What he is thinking about now is

It's a hibiscus banquet, but I'm afraid Pei Yue won't agree, so he won't care about the details.

Hearing Pei Yue's clear answer, Qin Xu was overjoyed. He agreed with Pei Yue to go to Qiujiang Tower tomorrow night, and then left in a hurry, naturally to inform the nine people.

After he left, Pei Yue put away the map and said to the door: "Deng Zai."

Deng Zai, who had been guarding the door, came in and said, "Young Master."

Pei Yue returned to the study and sat down, picked up a sketch he had drawn, thought for a moment and said, "You can arrange a few things."

"Master, please give me your instructions."

"From now on, everyone who stays in the office is not allowed to go out without my permission. Food and clothing will be sent directly from the store."

"yes."

"Except for the third team that continues to stay near Linqing County and keep an eye on it, the rest let them come back."

"Will Dongqing Mansion give up surveillance for the time being?"

Deng Zai just looks dull, but in fact he has been with Pei Yue for so long. He is the most mature and meticulous person. Unknowingly, he has been able to move closer to Pei Yue in thinking about problems.

The mobile force around Pei Yue was 500 people, divided into five teams, led by five sentries selected by him personally. Before entering Lingzhou, he asked the first four teams to collect information everywhere, leaving only the fifth team with him.

Team.

Pei Yue said in a deep voice: "No need to stare anymore, it's probably the same old tricks again."

Although he said it very casually, there was a sudden flash of snow deep in his eyes. The civil unrest in Dongqing Mansion started in July last year, and the time is probably about the same. This matter is most likely to be related to that crazy woman.

After experiencing what happened in the Hengduan Mountains, he already knew Chen Xizhi very well, and this incident was too similar to the other person's handiwork.

After all, he has never forgotten that Chen Xizhi was forced to flee to the West and was most likely hiding in Lingzhou.

Maybe it's in this city of Xingyang.

After thinking for a moment, Pei Yue continued: "Ask Feng Yi and Gai Ju to go to Guping Town on the border to help me figure out some things."

"Master, please speak." Deng Zai lowered his head and said.

Pei Yue said a name and gave a few instructions, and Deng Zai nodded understandingly.

At this time, Pei Yue felt a little more relaxed and said with a smile: "I will go to Qiujiang Tower to attend the hibiscus banquet tomorrow. It is inconvenient to bring too many people. Let the fifth team stay in the office to rest. You can just go with me with your soldiers."

Deng Zai looked hesitant and seemed to want to dissuade him.

Pei Yue waved his hand and said: "Since some of us can't hold back our restless thoughts when we first arrive, we have to give them a chance to perform and take a hundred elite soldiers to visit the brothel. That will scare them."

Although Deng Zai was still a little worried, seeing Pei Yue's determined expression and knowing that his young master had already made a plan, he didn't say anything more.

Pei Yue recalled Qin Xu's words just now and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. What did he do in the eyes of the so-called oiran?

Do they really like dark things like briquettes? Are they afraid of dirtying those delicate green fingers?

In their eyes, this kind of thing that is not worthy of elegance may not be worth a word of a literati, nor even half a word of a poet.
