Nian Conglun was not willing to fail like this, but Pei Yue obviously would not give him a chance to continue to instigate.

"Nian Duzhi, as you said, His Majesty just asked me to return to Kyoto as soon as possible and asked me about the details of Ning Zhong's death, right?"

Pei Yue was full of energy and his voice was loud and clear to the whole audience.

Nian Conglun's face was gloomy. Others could actually feel a trace of the murderous spirit of a martial artist from this internal prisoner. However, under the gazes of Pei Yue, Tang Youzhi and others, he could only nod his head and said: "Yes."

Pei Yue said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Everyone who has worked hard knows how hard it is to travel all the way. Please allow me to deal with a few things in one day. I will set off early in the morning."

Nian Conglun knew that the young man in front of him had completely grasped the situation, and that any tit-for-tat confrontation would only make him a laughing stock, so he snorted coldly and left with the palace guards.

Pei Yue took a deep look at his back, then turned to Tang Youzhi and said: "Master Hou, please forgive me for being rude and unable to continue to attend the celebration banquet. It has ruined everyone's interest. I will definitely find an opportunity to invite you to be a host next time."

Tang Youzhi said with firm eyes: "Since His Majesty has a decree, you should return to Beijing as soon as possible. Don't worry, I will take care of everything here."

This sentence obviously refers to the Zangfeng Guard. Although Pei Yue himself has already made arrangements, he will not refuse the kindness of his allies. He smiled and said: "Then I'll bother you, Lord Marquis."

Dingjun Bo Luo Huanzhang stepped forward and put his arm around Pei Yue's shoulders, and whispered: "Brother Yue, if there is any trouble after returning to Kyoto, please bear with it for now. When Old Tang and I return to Kyoto, we will naturally support you. It is your credit."

No one can take it away."

Pei Yue smiled gratefully and asked curiously: "Uncle, Nian Duzhi just mentioned Tang Marquis, don't you continue to guard Jinshui Camp?"

Luo Huanzhang said meaningfully: "It is our practice in Daliang that all commanders who have made military achievements will move their places. You should understand the reason. The reason why I have to stay in Jinshui Camp for the time being is nothing more than the big shots in the court.

The winner has not yet been decided, and the person who will succeed me has not yet been decided.”

Pei Yue nodded, suddenly thinking of someone, and couldn't help but whisper: "Then the Marquis of Xiangcheng..."

Luo Huanzhang smiled and said: "Xiao Jin is not a simple person. He does not seem to exist in any faction, and he is not as trusted by His Majesty as Wei Guogong, but he can sit firmly in the position of controlling the camp in Hucheng. If

If you have conflicts with him in the future, don't take the initiative, you need to understand his methods first before you deal with them."

Pei Yue was slightly surprised. It turned out that the rough-tempered veteran beside him also had such a careful side. He said seriously: "Thank you, uncle, for the advice."

"It's just a few nonsense words, it's nothing." Luo Huanzhang patted his shoulder hard again, and then walked to the side.

Pei Yue suppressed this matter in his heart for the time being, looked up at the still emotional civil and military officials beside him, and said loudly: "Brothers, you have acted righteously tonight, and Pei Yue will remember this kindness in his heart. However, I have a few words.

I want to say what’s on my mind, but please don’t mind me.”

"Sir, please speak!" Gao Linfen shouted from the crowd.

Pei Yue looked sincere and said slowly: "Your Majesty asked me to return to the capital as soon as possible because I killed Wuwei Hou Ningzhong in the Guping camp before. Why did I kill him? I believe you all understand the whole story, but Your Majesty is not very

Clearly, those big people in the court

I don’t know. In their eyes, I am just a little viscount, and I dare to kill a third-class prince. It is really shocking. But your majesty trusts me, otherwise he would not let me lead his own soldiers.

If I go back, I will be captured and escorted away long ago."

Hearing him speak so eloquently, and what he said was reasonable and reasonable, everyone's mood gradually calmed down.

Pei Yue smiled again and said: "Actually, His Majesty still thinks highly of me, otherwise he would not have allowed me to serve as the commander of the front guard. It's just that because of the death of Ning Zhong, it was not easy for him to reward me until he clarified the matter.

.I respect Mr. Tang Hou very much. If the war on the northern front had not

Without his trust and respect for me, a great victory would be impossible. As for military merit, whether it is my contribution or the contribution of my brothers and seniors, the imperial court will definitely give me a fair reward. Please be patient and do your best.

The finishing touches after a good war."

These words made Tang Youzhi look with admiration, and also convinced other civil and military officials.

The storm finally subsided, and Pei Yue clasped his fists and said: "I have disturbed everyone's interest, and I will definitely find an opportunity to apologize next time. Everyone, I will return to Beijing the day after tomorrow, and I still have some things to deal with, so I can no longer have a banquet with you.

, please forgive me for any rudeness."

After saying that, he bowed and bowed to everyone.

Tang Youzhi said with emotion: "It doesn't matter, I'll see you in Kyoto in the future."

Luo Huanzhang smiled and said: "The day when we meet again is not far away."

Others also said goodbye to Pei Yue one after another with considerable reluctance, especially those generals who had fought alongside him on the battlefield.

Pei Yue spoke briefly to everyone, and finally looked at Xue Tao, who looked strange, and said with a smile: "Uncle Xue Fang, I have been in Lingzhou for more than half a year, and I owe you for your help in many things. I believe we will meet again one day."

Xue Tao smiled unnaturally and said, "I'll have people prepare some special items from Lingzhou and send them to the imperial envoy tomorrow."

Pei Yue cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much."

On the top floor of Chaofeng Building, Xie Xinci looked down dreamily. Jin Shu walked up to her and said worriedly: "Xinci, go in. It's windy outside, so be careful about getting cold."

Xie Xinci raised his hand to wipe his cheek and said warmly: "Okay."

Only then did Jin Shu realize that she was crying, and he couldn't help but said in shock: "What's going on?"

Xie Xinci looked down again, shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Jin Shu looked at her red eyes and sighed softly: "Xinci, that Lord Pei is not something we can grasp. Don't fall into it."

Xie Xinci did not deny or argue. She took Jin Shu's arm and said sadly: "Do you know where Sister Zhen Shu is?"

Li Zhenshu, the chief scholar of Jinsu Academy, suddenly disappeared. Others only thought that she had gone into seclusion like Duan Yuzhu, the dance chief. However, Xie Xinci and Jin Shu had always been in close contact with her and had nothing to do with her disappearance. In addition, the three people

They were all secretly controlled by Xue Tao, so they couldn't help but be very worried.

Jin Shu shook his head and returned to the hall with Xie Xinci on his arm.

Downstairs at Chaofeng, Pei Yue saluted everyone again, then turned around and strode away.

Wei Rui and others quickly followed. Qin Xian and Xue Meng also left Qiujiang Tower after pleading guilty to Tang Youzhi.

Tang Linfen stood in the crowd, hesitating for a moment. He knew the agreement between his uncle and Pei Yue, but the official procedures had not been completed yet. At the moment, he was not a general of the Zangfeng Guard, nor was he like Qin Xian.

We have a brotherly relationship with Pei Yue, so it seems inappropriate to follow him rashly.

At this moment, when he saw the stern look from Tang Youzhi, he immediately woke up and left the place resolutely.
