Chapter 863 862【I do】

Even after not sleeping all night, Pei Yue was still full of energy, with no look of sleepiness on his face.

I recall that when he was on the bank of Qishui, he once said to Ye Qi: "Fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, fighting with people, the fun is endless."

Now he finally took the first step and tried to challenge the imperial power and ethics of this world. The plan was bigger than all previous plans, and the details could even fill several volumes.

Pei Yue didn't feel tired, let alone shrinking. He only had endless lofty ideals in his chest. However, when he passed through the hanging flower gate and saw the lonely figure beside the road, the excited look on his face turned into helplessness, and even a little bit...

Quite embarrassing.

This villa was a garden built by a wealthy businessman in Puqi City who spent a huge amount of money. It was dedicated to Pei Yue as a temporary residence. Although it was not as grand and majestic as the duke's mansion, it was more quiet and elegant.

Pei Yue moved in with his people and some of his soldiers, as well as two women with special identities, Princess Qinghe of the Southern Zhou Dynasty and Xu Churong.

According to Hou Yu, the internal eunuch, the eldest prince Liu Xian insisted on fulfilling the engagement, so the first thing Han Gongduan did after arriving in Jiangling was to scold the envoys of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and then allowed them to reorganize a relatively simple guard of honor for the princess. Now

It's on its way and will arrive soon.

Pei Yue didn't care about this. What really gave him a headache was the girl in front of him.

Xu Churong looked at Pei Yue walking towards him, with a flash of complicated emotions in his eyes, and saluted, "I've met Marquis Pei."

Pei Yue coughed twice, tried to keep his expression gentle, and said calmly: "Why do you get up so early?"

Xu Churong lowered his head slightly and said, "The air is refreshing in the morning, so I thought of going out for a walk."

This statement is obviously untrue. It is already early winter, and the air is obviously chilly. Instead of staying in a warm bed in the morning, go for a walk outside in the cold dew? In fact, Pei Yue can understand the mood of the girl in front of him.

, being abandoned by one’s own relatives, the future is desolate and confused, and one’s mind is wandering day and night, how can one sleep peacefully?

After a slight hesitation, Pei Yue said slowly: "Miss Xu, I have something to tell you."

Xu Churong raised his head and looked at Pei Yue, with a nervous look in his pure eyes.

Pei Yue looked at this face that was as clear as water and hibiscus, and couldn't help but sigh.

To be fair, Xu Churong's beauty can be said to be one in a million. After all, the Xu family in Qinghe has been passed down for thousands of years, and generations of family heads have married women with beautiful looks. With such genetic improvement, the probability of having crooked melons and cracked dates is extremely low.

She is actually a typical Jiangnan water town beauty, elegant, smart, charming and charming.

There is a white jade plum blossom hairpin in the simple bun with clouds, and there are purple jade beads hanging on the white earlobes.

Wearing a long peony skirt, she showed off her slim figure. Although she was not as graceful and graceful as Lin Shuyue, she still had a natural and elegant look.

Back in Jian'an City, she was the apple of the eye of the chief minister of the cabinet. Even the emperor loved her. She naturally looked dazzling, but it was easy for people to ignore her own temperament. Now the situation has changed so drastically that she doesn't even know what the future holds.

When you are alone, you will inevitably show a bit of timidity, like a deer lost in the mountains and homeless.

Perhaps Xu Churong had never been looked at by someone for such a long time. Xu Churong turned his head and said softly: "What does Marquis Pei want to say?"

Pei Yue looked away and said, "Let's talk as we walk."

Walking along the paths in the garden, breathing the slightly cold air, the two fell into a long silence again.

In fact, Pei Yue does not have such an indecisive temperament, but the arrangement of the girl next to him really makes him feel embarrassed.

He does not think that he is a gentleman, and admits that he cannot be as consistent as Gu Fan, but in the past few years, he has never refused anyone who comes. Whether it is Ye Qi, Gu Zhen, or Tao Hua, who has been dependent on each other since childhood, he and

There is no utilitarianism involved in these beauties' interactions. But Xu Churong's identity is extremely special. It would be fine if he just declined her affection, but he must use her emotions nakedly and make her a tool to remotely control the Nandu family...

Pei Yue didn't want to do such a mean thing.

The cold wind blew the dead branches, and the coolness suddenly invaded the body.

Xu Churong murmured: "Hou Pei, I never thought you would be in such a difficult situation."

Pei Yue vaguely heard the implication of her words. Thinking that this smart girl had guessed what he was thinking, he couldn't help but reveal a wry smile and asked slowly: "Now that the peace talks have begun, do you really not want to go back?"

Xu Churong's tone was slightly erratic: "Well, I don't want to."

Pei Yue sighed and said with a complicated expression: "If you don't go back, what are your plans?"

Xu Churong shook his head, his brows and eyes full of loneliness.

Pei Yue suddenly realized that the girl next to him was only sixteen years old. In her previous life, she had just entered high school. Even though most people in this world were precocious, their minds were still not mature and open-minded. After experiencing the grief of the betrayal of her loved ones, I am afraid that in her heart

He was full of fear of his homeland in the south and just wanted to escape far away.

After repeated hesitation, he finally made up his mind and said, "If you don't mind, how about you come back to Kyoto with me?"

Xu Churong replied without thinking: "Okay."

Pei Yue was startled and stopped involuntarily.

There was a bit of shame in the girl's eyes, but whether it was Pei Yue's misunderstanding, the color on her face suddenly became brighter, no longer as depressed and sad as before.

Pei Yue thought for a while and said gently: "I have calculated after the fact that your father probably just wants you to stay with me, and is not really cold-blooded. You should understand that the Xu family in Qinghe is the representative of the Nandu family, even if

More than seventy years have passed, but the roots of these families are still there

In the north, Daliang will regain the homeland of the former Wei Dynasty sooner or later. Not everyone is willing to live and die with the Southern Dynasty, especially those aristocratic families who crossed the Yangtze River and went south. In this case, if we can establish a special relationship with me, those aristocratic families will naturally

That gives you more room for maneuver.”

Xu Churong listened to his long speech and looked at him blankly.

After the secret conversation with Mr. Xi last night, Pei Yue had a more thorough understanding of the overall situation of the world, and then realized that Southern Zhou was more than just an enemy to him. Regardless of his status in the army, or the fate of Xiangyun in the future

For development, the existence of Southern Zhou is very crucial, especially those families who control countless wealth, which can provide great assistance to his plans.

The importance of Xu Churong is self-evident.

But Pei Yue didn't want to deceive a sixteen-year-old girl.

Looking into the other party's clear eyes, a wry smile appeared on his face, and then he said calmly: "To be honest, if you stay by my side, it will be very helpful to me as well."

Xu Churong lowered his eyes and quickly gave a simple and straightforward answer: "I do."

"Um?"

Pei Yue was stunned for a moment, and suddenly wanted to reach out and touch her forehead. Was she sick and talking nonsense?
