The rain stops and the night falls, and the new frost disrupts the dawn smoke.

When the first ray of morning light appeared on the horizon, Qian Bing came out of the corner of the courtyard, his eyes still bright. The fighting and vigil did not make him feel tired. Perhaps this was also a necessary quality for a top assassin.

Turning around, he saw Pei Yue walking out of the main room. Qian Bing stepped forward to greet him and said, "Master Hou knows things well. Nothing happened last night."

Pei Yue looked at him with a gentle expression and said with a smile: "Master Qian, why are you always so polite?"

Qian Bing knew that what he really wanted to say was the word "humble", and replied with a slight embarrassment: "When I was still in Kyoto, Mr. Shen often told me that people like us in the Department of Dui should always be ordinary people.

Only then can you dwarf everyone without attracting attention. Besides, you can’t reach out and hit someone with a smiling face, especially in a foreign country. It’s easier to do things like this when you are a lower-ranking official.”

This is a man who always has a flattering smile on his face. Pei Yue has always been unable to connect him with the image of the number one assassin of Taishitai Pavilion. He asked curiously: "What is your official identity in Southern Zhou Dynasty?"

What is it?"

Qian Bing replied: "Xia Guan runs a bun shop in Jian'an City."

Pei Yue suppressed his smile and sighed softly: "Because of me, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to run that bun shop in the future."

There were many people who met Qian Bing last night. Although Shangguan Ding was only a civil servant, Pei Yue did not believe that there was no spy from the Southern Zhou Emperor among his entourage, so he could naturally deduce the identities of Qian Bing and the dozens of masters by the lake.

Qian Bing said sincerely: "Master Hou, your only responsibility now is to protect your safety. Nothing else is important. Your Majesty has been staying in the south for a long time. He has been noticed by the other party's spies since last year."

, so after completing this mission, the lower official will also return to Daliang, and then Lord Shen will send a new chief to take over the affairs in the south."

Pei Yue heard the determination in his words, thought for a while and asked: "Is this an order from Master Shen, or is it your own idea?"

Qian Binghan smiled and said: "They are all there, they are all there."

Pei Yue looked up at the empty mountain after the rain and said softly: "After returning to Kyoto, if you don't want to stay in Taishitai Pavilion and continue to lick blood with the blade of a knife, I can help you arrange a suitable official position."

Qian Bing did not refuse, and nodded with a happy face: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your appreciation. It's still early, Lord Marquis, why don't you want to sleep for a while?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "The Emperor of Southern Zhou will not allow me to stay in Donglin."

Before he finished speaking, Feng Yi walked in quickly and said, "Master, that Miss Xu wants to see you."

Qian Bing smiled meaningfully and then left the courtyard.

After Pei Yue came to the main hall, Xu Churong's eyes stayed on him, looking almost from top to bottom several times, and finally his eyes fell on his left hand.

In fact, Pei Yue didn't quite understand what this girl wanted to do. According to the background of the Xu family in Qinghe and Xu Huiyan's tutoring, Xu Churong should not hold a grudge against Qinyuan. If she was thinking about the close relationship with Princess Qinghe, she didn't want to

The other party married far away to the north, so there was no reason to keep pestering him, because the decision on this matter rested with Emperor Qingyuan.

Based on this, he asked calmly: "What is Miss Xu doing for you?"...

Xu Churong said calmly: "I heard that you encountered some big trouble last night, so I came here to have a look."

Pei Yue responded: "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine."

Xu Churong suddenly fell silent. After a long time, he looked up at Pei Yue and asked in a cold tone: "Why must Fang Yunhu be killed?"

Pei Yue frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?"

Xu Churong said: "You are the official envoy of Beiliang to welcome the bride. Your most important responsibility is to bring Princess Qinghe back safely, rather than stirring up trouble in our country. The discussion outside the Sifang Pavilion, the debate at yesterday's banquet and the fight last night, I

I know you are not wrong, but you could obviously spare Fang Yunhu’s life.”

Pei Yue turned to look at the morning light outside the door, shook his head and said with a smile: "Miss Xu, do you think I shouldn't kill him?"

Xu Churong said sternly: "If you don't kill him, then this matter will be a fault of the Zhenguo Government, and even the court will be courteous to you. But if you act so recklessly, you will not only turn the reasonable into unreasonable, but also completely fall into the true state of justice."

Crisis. During this period of conflict, I know that you are well-prepared, and that it may seem dangerous but actually you can handle it with ease, but then you will know what kind of trouble you have caused."

Pei Yue looked at her with slight surprise and said slowly: "Miss Xu, are you caring about me?"

There was no shyness on Xu Churong's face, but she rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "Why should I care about you? I'm just worried about the princess sister!"

Pei Yue asked with increasing confusion: "What does this have to do with Princess Qinghe?"

Xu Churong snorted softly and said: "You killed Fang Yunhu, how could hundreds of thousands of people in Pingjiang let you go? Not to mention the Duke Zhenguo, who was as deep-minded as the sea, the other four sons of the Fang family alone would not give up. They were trapped.

Leaving aside the five thousand Euphorbia soldiers in the camp, do you know how many people in Pingjiang are serving as generals in the army?"

Pei Yue chuckled disapprovingly and said: "According to Miss Xu's wishes, your Majesty seems to have no control over Fang Xie Xiao."

Xu Churong said anxiously: "Don't mess around! Of course the Fang family wouldn't dare to do it openly, let alone kill you in Jian'an City, but no one knows whether someone will appear on the hundreds of miles from Jian'an City to Tiancang River.

A fight. What if the situation gets chaotic and the princess sister is injured?"

"oh."

Pei Yue responded calmly, nodded and said, "What you said does make some sense, but it's basically nonsense."

Xu Churong's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Ever since she was a child, no one dared to speak to her like this.

Pei Yue sneered and said: "Miss Xu, Fang Yunhu wanted to kill me when we were in our country. Now he is even more desperate and mobilizes hundreds of elites to assassinate me by force, so he deserves to die."

Xu Churong was about to speak but stopped.

Pei Yue stared into her eyes and said, "I would like to give you a suggestion."

Xu Churong said dullly: "What's the matter?"

Pei Yue said earnestly: "Whether you are worried about Princess Qinghe's safety or you are taking advantage of the situation to consider it for me, I advise you not to interfere in these matters. Miss Xu, you are still young and smart, and are more suitable for dancing, writing, reciting poems and writing poems."

, these are the things you should do."

Xu Churong immediately retorted: "You clearly handled this matter improperly——"

Pei Yue interrupted her directly and said: "Take Fang Yunhu as an example, do you think that I can solve the problem by sparing his life? On the contrary, this kind of person will only feel more shameful, and then he will deal with me even harder. Instead of that

I'm on guard every day, why can't I strike first? In short, whether Fang Yunhu is dead or alive, he and the Pingjiang Fang family will not let me go."

At this moment, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he said with murderous intent: "If someone is determined to be evil, I will sacrifice his head to the flag."
