The imperial envoy went to the Yamen.

After sending the chattering Qin Xu away, Pei Yue stretched out. However, before he could finish the cup of tea, Deng Zai came in and reported: "Master, everyone Duan is here."

"Please." Pei Yue put down the tea cup.

Duan Yuzhu followed Deng Zai, and when he saw that there was no maid waiting in the hall, he was a little curious, and then he saluted respectfully: "Yuzhu greets the Lord. Congratulations to the Lord for defeating the Western Wu army, killing ten thousand captains, and becoming a beam."

He has made great contributions."

Pei Yue said gently: "Your information is quite good."

Duan Yuzhu joked: "I heard that after Governor Xue knew the news, he immediately smashed a set of root-carved wine vessels handed down from the former Wei Dynasty."

Pei Yue couldn't help laughing and said: "Can root carvings be smashed? That's nonsense."

Duan Yuzhu blinked and said: "It shows that our governor is highly skilled in martial arts, and it also shows that he only has envy and jealousy towards the lord."

Pei Yue did not go to Xue Tao when he returned to Xingyang this time. He was too lazy to rub his hot face against his cold butt against this mercenary official. Anyway, the horse bandits in Qingyu Mountain had been eliminated, and the title deed of Linqing Coal Mine was also in his hands.

, as long as the 800 cavalrymen of Xiwu Badao Camp are eliminated, there will be no obstacle to the promotion of honeycomb coal in Lingzhou. In this case, why should he care about Xue Tao's face?

With the title of imperial envoy and the identity of the commander of the Tibetan Front Guard, although he could not do anything to Xue Tao, he did not have to be controlled by others.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head, and said to the two of them: "Sit down."

After Deng Zai sat down, he said to Pei Yue: "Master, that day you ordered me to go to Peiyu Pavilion to ask Duan for help. There are already some clues about the matter."

Pei Yue said happily: "Really?"

Deng Zai replied: "This matter is all the result of everyone in Duan. Without the help of her and everyone in Peiyu Pavilion, it would never have been found out."

Duan Yuzhu quickly shook his head and said: "Brother Deng, there is no need to be humble. Everyone has contributed, and you have worked hard."

Pei Yue looked around, vaguely feeling that things were getting interesting.

Peiyu Pavilion is Gu Liang's stronghold in Lingzhou, and its main task is to inquire about information. When Linqing County decided to leave the border westward, he asked Deng Zai to lead his soldiers back to Xingyang and ask Duan Yuzhu to help find out more

For Duan Yuzhu, since Gu Liang's order is for them to assist Pei Yue, they are no different from his subordinates, so they must do their best.

What interested Pei Yue was not this, but that he found that the relationship between the two people in front of him seemed a bit strange.

Although Deng Zai was dull but calm in front of him, he was slightly flustered at this moment.

Duan Yuzhu was cheerful and cheerful, and glanced at Deng Zai from time to time.

He doesn't object to the two of them developing in that direction. Duan Yuzhu is not really an oiran. She should be regarded as one of Gu Liang's confidants. Her background is not ordinary. There is no problem even if she becomes Deng Zai's first wife, as long as the latter herself

I do. But Duan Yuzhu's temperament is not that of a delicate and weak woman, and Deng Zai may not be able to subdue him.

"Tell me about the information you found." With this thought in mind, Pei Yue got down to business.

Deng Zai quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: "Young Master, since December of the third year of Kaiping, there has been a group of people in Lingzhou secretly stirring up trouble, especially on the business road. After analysis by me and everyone at Peiyu Pavilion,

, through the integration of a large number of clues and the questioning of merchants in the city, it was determined that the apparent leader of this force is a middle-aged man named Nong Zhi."

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Can you confirm the true identity of this Nong Zhi? Is he from Chen Xizhi?"

Duan Yuzhu took over the conversation and said: "Your Majesty guessed it right, Nong Zhi is Chen Xizhi's confidant. He has stayed in Xingyang City for many years and has a large amount of property here. According to our investigation, the mastermind behind him is Chen Xizhi."

Pei Yue asked: "Where is Chen Xizhi now?"

Duan Yuzhu shook his head and said: "I don't know. Sir, our people are not strong enough. We can only find out the relationship between Nong Zhi and Chen Xizhi. If we want to go deeper, there is no way, because our people cannot enter their inner circle, so we can only find out the relationship between Nong Zhi and Chen Xizhi."

Peripheral insinuations."

Pei Yue thought silently.

After a long time, he said with a serious face: "You continue to investigate, I only want one answer, and that is all Chen Xizhi's properties and manpower in Lingzhou. You two do this slowly, don't rush, and don't alert the snake.

, do you understand? I will cut off all her tentacles this time, and I will not give her another chance to resurrect."

Deng Zai and Duan Yuzhu stood up at the same time and responded: "Attributes follow orders!"

Pei Yue glanced at the two of them, couldn't help but smile softly, waved his hands and said: "Go down, you guys are so cooperative, you can just make your own decisions about small things."

After Deng Zai, who was full of shame, and Duan Yuzhu, who was smiling peacefully, left, Pei Yue stood up and walked to the backyard.

Nongyu, who had been waiting anxiously at the entrance of the courtyard, saw Pei Yue's figure, and immediately stepped forward to welcome him with joy, saying loudly: "My maid, please pay my respects to your lordship."

Pei Yue nodded and walked into the courtyard.

Lin Shuyue stood in the corridor, looking forward to it and clasping her hands together nervously.

Pei Yue walked up to her and looked at her fair and tender face, her gently trembling eyelashes, and the undisguised joy and nostalgia in her eyes. He couldn't help but rub his nose and said, "Shu Yue, why have you gained weight?"

Lin Shuyue's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, her eyes immediately became panicked, she lowered her head and looked at her body, and said nervously: "Master, are you really fat?"

Pei Yue nodded seriously, then laughed, held her hand and said, "I like you if you are fatter."

Lin Shuyue gave him a helpless and funny look.

Pei Yue laughed loudly and led her into the house.

Nongyu watched carefully from the side, with a happy look on her face. After the two of them entered, she quietly closed the door, then moved a small stool to guard the corridor, like a responsible little doorkeeper.

The two walked into the inner room, and just as Lin Shuyue was about to speak, she felt like she was flying in the clouds, and was easily picked up by Pei Yue. She shyly buried her head in Pei Yue's arms, and said in a low voice: "Master, it is daytime now.

."

"I'm going to the north tomorrow." Pei Yue said softly.

Lin Shuyue was startled, her eyes dimmed slightly, and she couldn't help but stretched out her arms to hug Pei Yue's back.

She didn't say anything, but this action showed her feelings.

Pei Yue came to the bed and gently placed her inside. Then he kicked off his boots and put on his clothes and lay on the bed. He sighed softly: "Shu Yue, sleep with me for a while."

How could Lin Shuyue, with her delicate heart and wisdom, fail to hear what Pei Yue said about sleep being a simple rest. She looked sideways at Pei Yue's tired brows, couldn't help but reach out to smooth the wrinkles between his brows, and said softly:

"Master, there is no need to work so hard."

Feeling the fragrance and gentleness of her fingers, the manic depression in Pei Yue's heart was gradually suppressed.

He is neither a god nor a machine. After running around without stopping, he naturally needs a haven to relax, otherwise he will become a broken string sooner or later.

"After you understand what's going on here, you can follow me back to Kyoto and I'll help you find a decent job. You won't have to stay at home all the time, and that life will be too depressing and boring." Pei Yue said slowly.

Seeing that he was so tired and still thinking about herself, Lin Shuyue was moved in her heart. She came close to his arm, raised her hand to help Pei Yue rub his temples, and said softly: "You listen to the young master."

"I will help you collect some interest from this battle, and in the future I will chop off the head of the Emperor of Western Wu to avenge the Lin family."

Hearing these categorical words, Lin Shuyue was suddenly startled, and two drops of clear tears rolled down the corners of her eyes involuntarily.

A charming smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Although it may not be the right time now, after waiting for this period of time, she has already determined her mind and no longer thinks about the hardships and hardships. She believes that Pei Yue can give her a stable home.

She sat up slowly and took off her clothes.

When the flowers are in bloom, they need to be cut off; don’t wait until there are no flowers and then break off the branches.

The gauze curtain suddenly fell.
