Everyone came to the elegant courtyard prepared by Xianyun Village to take a break.

After briefly understanding the whole story of the frightened horse, Shen Danmo gave a low evaluation: "This method is too petty."

Pei Yue asked: "Do you suspect that someone is causing trouble secretly?"

Shen Danmo curled his lips and said: "Even if Luo Mansion's carriage collides with Taohua's carriage, there won't be much damage. At most, the people in the carriage will be a little frightened. Whether it is the Governor Luo or you, the Marquis of Zhongshan, there will be no big loss." As for you, you don’t even have this kind of courage, because one accident caused you to live forever and never interact with each other.”

Apart from the three of them, there were only peach blossoms and kind words waiting to be served in the hall. Deng Zai and his soldiers stayed in the courtyard.

Pei Yue agreed with Shen Danmo's judgment, but this matter may not be that simple.

He analyzed calmly: "Horses are not human beings. No matter how well-informed they are about human nature, they cannot suddenly attack at that moment. There is no magic medicine in this world that works within a limited time."

Shen Danmo smiled softly and said with some emotion: "Is there something wrong with the coachman in Luofu?"

Pei Yue looked up at her and said, "You can check it out."

Shen Danmo walked up to Pei Ning, reached out to hold her forearm, and frowned: "Sister Ning, listen, your third brother treats me as a subordinate. You used to be polite when asking me to do things, but now in front of you It’s getting more and more rude, and I don’t know what kind of trouble it will cause in the future.”

A peaceful smile appeared on Pei Ning's face, and he comforted him: "Mo'er, third brother will only be informal in the presence of familiar people. Besides, you don't like to stay at home and read all day long, so why not take the opportunity to exercise yourself, no matter where you are? My third brother is always there to take care of everything."

"Sister Ning is the best to me."

Shen Danmo gave Pei Yue a white look, and then said: "The scenery here is beautiful and quiet. You take Sister Ning for a tour. I'm going to meet some literary friends."

Pei Yue turned sideways and said as if suddenly enlightened: "I almost forgot, Miss Shen is the most talented woman in Kyoto, please help yourself."

Shen Danmo said goodbye to Pei Ning, then snorted and raised his brows as he passed by Pei Yue.

She didn't even bring a maid with her on this trip. Pei Yue was a little worried and asked Deng Zai to send a few soldiers to follow her.

Turning around and going back to the house, he saw Peining looking at him with a smile, and there was a little more relief in his eyes.

Taohua, who was standing next to her, leaned into Liangyan's ear and whispered: "When the young master first moved to Green Willow Manor, Miss Shen wrote him several letters. At that time, I thought that the young master would marry her in the future. One night I asked the young master , the young master directly denied it and gave me a lesson. At that time, I felt that the young master was a little insincere, but now I see that I am really right, hehe."

Liangyan's eyes widened, feeling incredible.

Are these words something a maid can say?

Of course Pei Ning couldn't hear it, but Pei Yue was already a top expert, and his senses were much sharper than ordinary people. He glared at Taohua with a dumbfounded look, and said in a deep voice: "What are you muttering about?"

Taohua was agitated, stood up straight and shook her head: "No, young master, I didn't say anything."

Pei Yue looked at the man next to him who was blushing and did not dare to say any kind words, and then said helplessly to Taohua: "You are really spoiled, maid. If you don't restrain yourself, I'll beat you up."

Peining smiled and said: "Third brother, don't scare her, Taohua is a good maid."

"My maid, thank you very much, young lady." Taohua smiled when she heard the compliment and bowed respectfully.

Of course Pei Yue would not beat her up for such a trivial matter. Just as he was about to take Pei Ning around the village, Deng Zai walked in and bowed his head and said: "Master, that Feng Changshi is waiting outside, saying that King Yan wants to invite

Let me tell you, young master."

Pei Yue pondered: "The fourth prince wants to see me?"

Deng Zai guessed: "It is probably related to the incident of frightening the horse."

Seeing the hesitation on his face, Pei Ning took the initiative and said: "Third brother, since His Highness King Yan has invited you, you'd better go there first. We can go shopping later."

Pei Yue thought about it and said to Deng Zai: "You and others stay here and don't let anyone disturb the elder sister."

"Yes, Master."

Deng Zai responded with firm eyes.

When Pei Yue came outside the courtyard, Shi Fengjing, the chief minister of Prince Yan, stepped forward and said apologetically: "I apologize to Marquis Pei, and I apologize for my poor hospitality."

Pei Yue said calmly: "I won't care about some small things."

"Marquis Pei is indeed a great hero who swept thousands of armies on the battlefield. His magnanimity is far beyond anyone's comparison, and I admire him very much. Privately, the prince highly praises Marquis Pei's achievements, and often praises Marquis Pei's achievements with his subordinates and others.

I have long wanted to make friends and get close to each other, so I specially asked my subordinate to come here and invite Marquis Pei to meet me in the pavilion in the middle of the lake."

"Your Majesty is so complimentary, I cannot afford it. Feng Changshi, please lead the way."

"Marquis Pei invites you."

The pavilion in the center of the lake mentioned by Feng Jing is located in the southwest of Xianyun Village. However, when you see the vast mist on the lake, the water mist is steaming, as if it is covered with a hazy veil.

A dike about half a mile long, with willows planted on the side of the road, goes straight into the lake. At the end is a pavilion with carved and painted octagonal eaves.

Pei Yue had excellent eyesight and saw a young man in ordinary clothes sitting in the pavilion from a distance.

When he arrived outside the pavilion, the young man stood up to greet him and said gently: "I have long admired the name of the Marquis of Zhongshan, but it is a pity that we have only met him in recent years."

Pei Yue saluted with neither humility nor arrogance: "I have met His Highness."

His waist was still straight and his eyes were calmly looking at the young man opposite.

Daliang has been a country for nearly a hundred years, and generations of genetic improvements have made the appearance of these princes not ugly. Among the four adult princes, Pei Yue has met the eldest, second and sixth before, and the appearance of these three is considered to be among the best.

They all inherited the characteristics of Emperor Kaiping, including a pair of slender eyes.

The fourth prince Liu Zan was granted the title of King of Yan and rarely appeared in front of the world, so not many people knew that he actually had a face that was far superior to his other brothers.

In addition, this person has been immersed in literature and art since childhood and developed a calm temperament. Even Pei Yue had to admit that this fourth prince did have a somewhat noble appearance in terms of appearance.

King Yan said gently: "After you have been polite, there is no need to be formal. Although I have the status of a prince, after all, I am just a layman who likes to be relaxed and leisurely. And you, who are killing and decisive in the army, must not be used to those red tapes."

He smiled faintly, pointed to the opposite side and said, "Please sit down."

After the two sat down, the maid served tea. King Yan raised his hand and said: "Pei Yue is not only a martial arts noble, but also a martial arts master among the younger generation. I will remove the tea and replace it with wine."

Pei Yue did not stop him and quietly watched the fourth prince's performance.

He clearly remembered what Feng Jing had just said about "making friends and getting close". According to his judgment of the long history, such a person would definitely not make his own decisions. If King Yan had not given clear instructions, he would never have said it.

Those four words.

Why?

It was a big taboo in the eyes of emperors of all dynasties for a prince to secretly make friends with powerful military officials.

King Yan doesn't seem to be a fool. What does he want to do by blatantly violating this taboo?
