Pei Yue sighed softly: "Since you don't want to admit it, then I will believe your words. This is just a chance encounter, okay?"

Xu Churong frowned because she hated others talking to her in such a perfunctory manner.

Although she was born into a farming and studying family, she has never been a regular and gentle person. Emperor Qingyuan's love for her and Xu Huiyan's gentleness towards her made her develop an aloof and aloof temperament from an early age. Perhaps she only deliberately restrained herself in front of Princess Qinghe.

.If this were not the case, Xu Ziping would not have no choice but to agree to her following the mission northward.

Pei Yue's attitude made her subconsciously resist, and said coldly: "Are you thinking too much?"

Pei Yue noticed the change in her tone, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly, and said calmly: "To be honest, I thought you were that kind of unruly and domineering young lady, who only wanted to take revenge when she was wronged. In fact, this is nothing, I am in Kyoto

When I was young, I dealt with many powerful and powerful children, and I was never lenient, and having one more of you is just a matter of convenience."

Xu Churong hummed: "What a loud tone."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "It doesn't matter how loud your tone is. After all, it is better than pretending to be an adult at a young age."

Xu Churong was very angry and said angrily: "Believe it or not, I will have someone beat you up?"

"I don't believe it." Pei Yue shook his head and said calmly: "Don't worry, let me help you sort out your thoughts. I can see that you are very confused now."

Xu Churong turned her head away from him, but her fair earlobes moved.

Pei Yue said slowly: "What happened in Qinyuan made you hate me, so after knowing that I was the official messenger, you must be planning a plan to retaliate against me. In the northern suburbs of Jian'an City,

At that time, because the prince of your country came out to greet you, you couldn't cause trouble, so you asked those powerful sons to provoke you outside the Sifang Pavilion."

"This matter can be big or small. If I am invincible, your Zhou Dynasty will be embarrassed from top to bottom, so you must think that the big shots in your country's military aircraft department will take action. When I am defeated by your masters, can you tell me

I'm so angry, I don't have the shame to use it as an excuse, after all, my own skills are inferior to others."

"You didn't expect those powerful men to be so vulnerable, and you didn't expect that someone would take the opportunity to assassinate me, trying to completely destroy the newly repaired relationship between the two countries. But you are still angry, because I took the opportunity to gain the upper hand, forcing your father to do nothing.

Don't lower your posture. So you came up with this trick to prove that I still have weaknesses that I dare not face."

Speaking of this, Pei Yue couldn't help laughing softly.

Xu Churong frowned and said, "Why are you laughing?"

Pei Yue said with emotion: "I just suddenly admire your father. He never interfered in this matter from beginning to end. Even though all your revenge seemed childish, he did not use the power in his hands to deal with me. The chief minister of a country

His magnanimity is undoubtedly evident.”

Xu Churong had strange thoughts in her heart, and she didn't know how to respond to Pei Yue's words.

Pei Yue said leisurely: "Back to the previous topic, you still have not given up the idea of ​​humiliating me. The Donglin Cultural Conference is such an opportunity. But you should understand these days that my life and death are related to the peace between the two countries, so you

You were worried that something bad might happen to me after I left Jian'an City, so you waited at the city gate early in the morning and insisted on going with me, so that others would have to consider the reaction of the Qinghe Xu family before taking action."

Xu Churong remained silent, because Pei Yue's words not only fully spoke to her mind, but also gave her a clear understanding of the complicated situation during this period.

But...how could she admit that she wanted to protect Pei Yue?

Pei Yue did not take the opportunity to close the relationship. Although his words were clear and logical, he actually had some doubts in his heart.

What exactly does Xu Huiyan want to do?

Although the current situation is very complicated, the part related to Xu Churong is very simple. With the vision of the chief minister of the cabinet, he should be able to easily see through it. Why didn't he explain clearly to his beloved daughter, but instead let her act randomly?

If Xu Churong was allowed to get too close to Beiliang Zhengshi, wouldn't he worry that Emperor Qingyuan would become suspicious?

After all, the roots of the Xu family in Qinghe are in Daliang.

After a long time, Xu Churong said indifferently: "I really didn't expect you to dare to go out of the city to participate in a literary meeting. Maybe you thought that you had copied two poems, and the literati in the world would admire you."

Pei Yue did not get angry and nodded: "You are right, those two poems were indeed copied by me."

Xu Churong suddenly turned his head and asked eagerly: "You admit it?"

Pei Yue shrugged and said: "Yes, I admitted it, so what? You are the only one present now, so why not tell you? When we get to the literary conference, I will definitely deny it and copy a few more poems to annoy you.

.Anyway, you have no evidence, and there is no way to get the owners of those masterpieces to stand up and testify for you."

Xu Churong was stunned.

"You, you...how can you be so shameless!"

"How shameless is this? To be honest, I would rather you be spoiled by Xu Shoufu and be entangled in it, than see you jumping around. Miss Xu, although you are born well, have good looks, and are not stupid, you are really not stupid.

It's suitable for you to get involved in these intrigues. You can either deal with me wholeheartedly, and I won't mind no matter how cruel your methods are, or you can put down the little things you did in the past and don't always think about stumbling upon me."

"It's not your turn to do what I want to do!"

"I don't want to care about you. You are not mine. This is just good advice."

Xu Churong suddenly reined in the reins, and the horse neighed.

The soldiers and guards behind could only stop when they saw this.

Pei Yue smiled slightly and said calmly: "My life and death have nothing to do with you, why should I be a villain in vain?"

Xu Churong said angrily: "How dare you scold me?"

Pei Yue said: "Don't forget, it was you who invited me to attend the cultural gathering. If something unexpected happens to me here, who is responsible? You didn't want to kill me, but I died because of you. Your Xu family will have to bear extremely serious consequences afterwards.

The consequences, doesn’t this count as being a villain in vain?”

He shrugged and continued to spur his horse forward.

Xu Churong was stunned on the spot. At this moment, she suddenly had an idea and clarified the confusion in her heart these days. Logically speaking, she should be very angry. After all, Pei Yue's words were a bit sharp and mean. In the past, she would definitely lose her temper, but even if her face

The expression on her face was very angry, but there was not much anger in her heart.

After a brief pause, Xu Churong suppressed his anger, and his mount suddenly accelerated to catch up with Pei Yue.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Pei Yue asked helplessly.

Xu Churong looked cold and said calmly: "Follow you."

Pei Yue hesitated to speak, and finally could only sigh.

He didn't say those words just now to deliberately anger the girl, he really didn't want her to continue to follow him. He didn't know if anyone in Daliang wanted to take advantage of the troubled waters, but he knew that with the background of the Xu family in Qinghe and Xu Huiyan's status, as long as Xu Churong returned

By your side, those fish in Southern Zhou who want to take action will not jump out.

Xu Churong said solemnly: "Since you said that I can't be a villain in vain, then I will follow you all the way. How you deal with the difficulties at the cultural meeting is your business, and I will not deliberately target you again. But, Xu

The family must not be implicated in your life or death."

Pei Yue looked up at the sky, nodded and said, "You are so persistent."

The second half of the journey was always in an atmosphere of silence. Feng Yi looked at Pei Yue's back from time to time, and occasionally glanced at the girl who was following him closely. He sighed in his heart: The young master is really wise and powerful, even the apple of the eye of the chief minister of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Being attracted, wouldn't it be a good story if it was passed back to Daliang? Anyway, I still have to tell my colleagues that if Miss Ye gets angry because of this, the young master will definitely be beaten...

As the mountains and rivers passed by, Danxia Lake was vaguely visible, and the Donglin beside the lake gradually came into view.

The young scholar responsible for welcoming the guests saw Xu Churong's figure from a distance, and Pei Yue's identity was naturally revealed. After all, most of the people who could participate in the Donglin Literary Meeting were literati. The martial arts from the Southern Zhou Dynasty rarely came, and those soldiers also brought their armors with them.

It has distinctive Beiliang characteristics.

When Pei Yue came to the winding path into the forest, a group of people were already waiting here.

It seemed that he was being greeted, but Pei Yue clearly felt that there was a very unfriendly atmosphere.
