Pei Yue believes in the sincerity of Shen Danmo's trip. After all, Shen Danmo is the most trusted minister of Kaiping Emperor. He will definitely not do anything detrimental to Daliang, so helping the Zangfeng Guards is a reasonable move. .

But he is not just a blank sheet of paper. If Shen Danmo has no reservations about himself, then he is in vain.

The reason why he did not continue to ask questions was because he did not want to push Shen Danmo into an embarrassing situation at this time. He would need the information from Taishitai Pavilion in the future. Deng Zai now relies on the manpower of Peiyu Pavilion to gradually organize a secret spy network, but Peiyu Pavilion is just the manpower sent by Gu Liang to take care of Gu Mang. It cannot be compared with Taishitai Pavilion in terms of manpower size and ability.

Shen Danmo seemed to be aware of the underlying turmoil in the gentle exchange between the two. She couldn't help but look at Pei Yue intently. It was obvious that this young man was growing up much faster than she expected.

When she was trapped in the back house of Shen Mansion, listening to the various feats Pei Yue had done in Kyoto, she didn't pay much attention to these things at that time, because she believed that if she were in Pei Yue's position, she would definitely be able to do more. good.

At present, it seems that he has underestimated this former concubine after all.

After hesitating for a moment, she spoke again: "Lu Min will not have any objections. To say the least, even if he really has a disobedient heart, it is impossible for him to support his troops and stand on his own feet. Daliang has been a country for nearly a hundred years, and various The regulations have been completed for a long time. Although Lu Min is now the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, it is clearly written in the imperial edict that he is a temporary substitute. He has the power to mobilize the four border battalions, but as long as he shows any opposition, the Fifth Army Governor's Office will The supply of food and grass will be cut off immediately. In this case, he will have no chance of survival unless he defectes to Xiwu."

Pei Yue said understandingly: "Lu Min is now the Marquis of Cheng'an, and his official position is in the right military plane. He is only one step away from becoming the person who carries the cauldron in the Daliang army. If he thinks about it, he will not suddenly lose his mind and go to Xiwu to become a dog."

Shen Danmo frowned slightly and said: "Although it sounds ugly, it is actually the truth. In addition to these obvious factors, the court must have various restrictive methods, which are not something you and I can know. Not only It was Lu Min who was able to control Xiao Jin, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, in the Hucheng camp, and Guliang, the Marquis of Guangping, in the Chengjing camp, but they could not raise an army to rebel."

Pei Yue took a deep look at her and kept these words in his heart.

Shen Danmo sighed softly: "Is there anything else you want to know? My father asked me to tell you everything and try my best to help you see the situation clearly."

After thanking him, Pei Yue said, "There is one last thing I want to ask Miss Shen to take care of."

"Please tell me."

"I need detailed information, a detailed topographic map of the Lingzhou border from north to south, and the biographical information of all the commanders and generals of ten thousand captains and above in Daliang and Xiwu who have come to the border."

Shen Danmo nodded and said: "This is the purpose of my trip. Please call my personal leader in."

Pei Yue said something to the outside, and Deng Zai, who had been guarding the door, took the order and left. After a while, a tall, middle-aged man strode in, holding a thick stack of books in his hands.

Shen Danmo stood up and took the scroll, then handed it to Pei Yue with his own hands, and said gently: "Pei Yue, my father asked me to tell you that the situation on the battlefield is changeable. Don't just fight to the death. Only by living can you hope to win the final victory." Victory."

Her eyes were slightly complicated when she said this. After all, for her, the young man in front of her was probably the first friend she had met in her life besides her family and Pei Ning. Although the subsequent direction was a little strange, it was not I can’t erase the thrill in my heart at the beginning.

Pei Yue could understand this look, so after being silent, he nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your concern. Pei Yue will definitely keep it in mind."

For some reason, Shen Danmo felt a little disappointed, but also a little relieved.

She turned to look at Ye Qi and said, "Miss Ye, can you believe now that I have no ill intentions?"

Ye Qi slowly stepped forward to stand side by side with Pei Yue, and said calmly and calmly: "Thank you, Miss Shen, for your kindness."

Shen Danmo was startled for a moment, then showed a calm smile. Just when she was about to speak, she suddenly saw Deng Zai walking in with a solemn look, followed by a soldier she didn't recognize.

Glutinous rice

Pei Yue turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

Feng Yi, who followed Deng Zai in, raised his hands and said, "Young master, there is a military general outside with several personal followers. He said that he is the commander of the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, and he is here specially to convey the commander's order."

Pei Yue and Shen Danmo looked at each other and said calmly: "Invite him to come to the study room."

After the two left, Pei Yue said to Shen Danmo: "Miss Shen, please sit down for a moment. I'll be back as soon as I can."

If it were anyone else, he might have said goodbye and left at this time, but after hearing the words "coach of the Western Army", Shen Danmo would not leave now anyway, so he nodded and said: "Please do so."

At this moment, only Ye Qi and Shen Danmo were left in the main hall.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little stagnant.

There is some arrogance in Shen Danmo's character, but she is not that stupid and reckless person. She acts in a relaxed manner and will not pretend to provoke others. Just like Silent Cloud, she has never done anything in so many years. I saw that he had put on some airs, but as long as he took action, it would not fail. Shen Danmo has been learning from his father, so how could he deliberately provoke Ye Qi at this time?

Time passed little by little in this awkward silence, and Ye Qi looked at Shen Danmo with some curiosity and scrutiny.

It's such a good color, but it's a pity that she doesn't like it. Although Gu Zhen's appearance is also very good, Ye Qi feels very comfortable when getting along with Gu Zhen, but looking at Shen Danmo's perfect face, she can't like it.

After the maid carefully served another round of tea, Pei Yue finally came back, his face looking very solemn.

Ye Qi stood up and asked: "When?"

Pei Yue glanced at Shen Danmo and said slowly: "Western Wu sent ten troops to attack important towns on the border of Daliang. Cheng'an ordered me to lead the army northward and assist the commander of Longgong Camp, Jininghou Tang Youzhi, in defending the northern front."

Shen Danmo frowned and said, "Lu Min wants you to deal with Xie Lin?"

Pei Yue nodded and said to Shen Danmo: "Miss Shen, you have helped me a lot this time, and I should invite you to the banquet in person. However, the order from Commander-in-Chief Cheng'an is urgent and he wants me to come within five days. The departure will be completed within a day, so I can only say sorry and thank you after the war has calmed down."

Shen Danmo smiled softly and said: "It doesn't matter, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave."

"Ye Qi and I will see you off," Pei Yue said calmly.

After sending her away, Pei Yue stood at the door of the main hall with a stern look in his eyes.

Ye Qi said softly: "What are you going to do?"

Pei Yue replied: "Lu Min's order is irreproachable. Since the Tibetan Front Guards are full cavalry, then going to the north to deal with Xie Lin, who has 50,000 elite cavalry, is what the question is supposed to mean. It's just these five days. It's too tight, I still have a lot of arrangements to make. Ye Qi, you stay in Linqing for the time being. I'll ask Deng Zai and Wei Rui to stay and help you. After solving the things I need, you can go with them to the north to meet with I'll join you."

Ye Qi nodded without hesitation.

On the third day of October in the fifth year of Kaiping, nearly 10,000 Tibetan front guards left Linqing under the leadership of Pei Yue. There were also thousands of civilians transporting baggage, and the army headed north.
