Pei Yun's restlessness along the way turned into a sudden interception. His uncle who was chatting and laughing just now died tragically in front of him in an instant.
There were also three close followers, all good brothers who had shared weal and woe with him and had experienced life and death. They also died in an unknown manner.
Pei Yun's heart was as sharp as a knife, and he hated the person in front of him deeply. However, he also knew that he would not be able to escape his fate today. He just wanted to know the reason for all this before he died.
He is not afraid of death, but he must die clearly.
The general in front of him used his spear to fly away the sword in Pei Yun's hand, and sneered: "Pei Yun, does it matter who I am? Do you feel that you are unjust and useless when you are about to die?"
Pei Yun twisted his eyes and said, "As a real man in heaven and earth, there is neither joy in life nor fear in death. If you want to kill me, you can, but no matter who you are, if you have the guts, give me your name and wait for me."
An explanation?"
The general said disdainfully: "Do you think we are bandits who are roaming around committing crimes? Hahaha, have you ever seen such a powerful bandit?"
Pei Yun said: "You are not worthy of being a bandit. If you want to hide your identity, you dare to act like a real man. You shameless villains. Bandits still have to leave a name when committing crimes. You are just a group of despicable cowards. Come on, kill them."
Damn it, I, Pei Yun, am a ghost and I will settle the matter with you again."
Pei Yun suddenly became so heroic that he took out the long arrow from his arm, stuck it on the ground, and used his strength to stand up.
He would rather die standing than live on his knees. This is Pei Yun's bloody nature.
His actions made the general in front of him, including his men and horses, take a step back in shock.
"What do you want to do? Resign yourself to death and leave your body intact. If you try to resist, I will cut you into pieces."
Pei Yun laughed loudly, and then shouted: "I, Pei Yun, have been on the battlefield for more than ten years. Today, I died in the hands of a bunch of nameless thieves like you. I will die with my eyes open. Come on, kill me. Why are you hesitating? Are you afraid?"
Full of sorrow and indignation, he could only die unjustly.
Seeing how brave Pei Yun was, the general admired in his heart and said in a deep voice: "General Pei is indeed a great hero. I, Wang Yong, admire General Pei's heroism. I am not trying to kill you. In the court fight, you are just being used."
A chess piece, just accept your fate."
Pei Yun lost all hope and asked: "Who wants to kill me?"
Wang Yong said in a low voice: "It's okay to tell you. The prime minister, the prince, and your majesty all want you dead. Everyone has their own agenda. Wang Yong was ordered to send you on your way. On the road to hell, don't blame the general for his unrighteousness."
Pei Yun looked up to the sky and laughed. Wang Yong turned his back, not wanting to see Pei Yun's face, and thrust his spear backwards, straight into Pei Yun's chest and abdomen.
Wang Yong pulled out the bloody spear, and Pei Yun threw him down.
Wang Yong pursed his lips at the two men in front of him, who hurriedly stuffed several objects into the hidden pockets of Pei Yun's horse or scattered them throughout the scene.
After setting up the scene, Wang Yong waved his spear, and more than thirty people galloped away.
In less than a cup of tea, Pei Yun and the five of them died cleanly. Even if they died, they died in an unclear manner. They became dead sons who were used by others to fight for power and gain.
At this time, Li Mu and his party walked more than twenty miles relaxedly and happily, and arrived at a small town called Qingliu Town. It was built along a river, and the small river was called Qingxi.
There are four to five thousand permanent residents in the town, plus pedestrians and merchants traveling from north to south, making Qingliu Town a prosperous scene.
Li Mu saw the scene of connected mountains and rivers from a distance, which was particularly charming. He shouted to Yang Zhao and went to the town to have lunch and rest.
The carriage and horses stopped at the entrance of the town. Yang Zhao went ahead to find the inn. Li Mu got off the car, and two young eunuchs, plus six or seven girls, gathered around Li Mu.
Although the little girl was dressed in men's clothes, she couldn't hide her daughter's true nature with her chattering.
On the contrary, Li Mu is like a doll with a group of boys and girls traveling around the mountains and rivers.
Everyone gathered around Li Mu, going in and out of every shop door to door, laughing and joking in all kinds of ways, adding more joy and joy to the town.
After a while, Yang Zhao came back and reported to Li Mu that he had settled in the largest inn in the town. He would eat first, and then depending on Li Mu's mood, he could also take a nap.
Li Mu was overjoyed and led a group of people to the inn. The inn was right by the river. It was also called Qingxi Inn. It was spacious and clean. Going up to the large platform on the second floor, there was a noisy market on one side and a clear flowing river on the other.
.
Li Mu chose a seat facing the river and sat down, letting everyone order their own dishes.
"One request is that everyone orders one of their favorite dishes. Now that it's out, everyone can eat, drink and have fun, but they can't run around privately. If they get lost, we won't be held responsible."
As soon as Li Mu gave the order, the seven or eight little guys dispersed in a hurry and went to the boss to order food. It was very lively.
Yang Zhao came closer to Li Mu and whispered: "Your Highness, I looked around and found that there are many people who behave abnormally."
"Oh, what kind of people are they?" Li Mu asked casually.
Yang Zhao said: "I can't explain clearly. It is said that this is a remote town, but among the pedestrians, there are many of them. Their faces and expressions are very impressive, and they don't look like locals at all."
Li Mu smiled and said: "This is an important transportation route from south to north. The scenery is so beautiful. It is not surprising that tourists and businessmen are stranded. Or are they following our guards?"
Yang Zhao said: "But based on my observation, they are not like tourists or businessmen. The guards are still behind us. In short, Your Highness should be careful."
Li Mu also frowned and said: "In that case, let's finish our meal, take a short rest, and leave as soon as possible. I would like to warn all the coachmen not to cause trouble."
Yang Zhao agreed and left quickly to arrange for a group of coachmen to eat and feed their horses.
Qing'er and Caicai were unwilling to leave Li Mu and had no interest in ordering. They felt that Li Mu was their most delicious dish.
Li Mu asked: "Caicai, Qing'er, are you going to order a dish too? I'll drink tea and close my eyes to relax." Li Mu said, tilting his head, and closed his eyes on the recliner to relax.
Caicai said: "Your Highness, I don't care about any dishes. The food outside is dirty. Besides, when we dance, we have to stay in shape and we can't be greedy."
Li Mu squinted his eyes, glanced at Cai Cai, and said with a smile: "Cai Cai, your figure should be considered arrogant and charming, but you have to restrain yourself and don't work so hard, right?"
Cai Cai brought a low stool to Li Mu, raised Li Mu's feet, and said softly: "Cai Cai belongs to His Highness. Naturally, he cannot embarrass His Highness. He would rather eat less to avoid being bored by His Highness."
Li Mu could only laugh.
Qing'er couldn't stand listening anymore. When she saw Caicai's words and actions, and Li Mu's nanny Wai Wai, she immediately squatted down next to Li Mu's legs and gave Li Mu a gentle hammer on the legs.
"You two are talking strangely, Cai Cai, do you have any hidden secrets with His Highness?" Qing'er pouted and couldn't bear to see Li Mu letting Cai Cai stay with him.
When Caicai saw Qing'er beating her legs, she squatted on the other side and beat Li Mu's legs. Thanks to the fact that it was on the second floor and there were no outsiders, Li Mu was so embarrassed that she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. This scene was too dandy and comfortable.
Caicai said: "When we entered the Prince's Mansion, we were His Highness's servants. Your Highness is our master. What secrets can there be between master and servant? Qing'er, you are the maid of Princess Meixi. You cannot say such things to Your Highness."
.”
Qing'er said angrily: "Your master and servant say that you still want to treat me as an outsider. Caicai, my princess will be the mistress of the prince's mansion sooner or later. I stay here to watch over your highness on behalf of the princess, so as not to be disturbed by other people."
Girl, took advantage of the loophole."
The two little girls had their own thoughts, but the only unified idea was to protect Li Mu, take care of Li Mu, and so they went back and forth with each other and bickered for a while.
Li Mu was in a daze, half asleep, when he heard someone downstairs dragging his voice and shouting: "Human life is destined by God, read fortunes, tell fortunes, touch bones, and measure characters -"
Li Mu was woken up and felt that the voice sounded familiar. He hurriedly opened his eyes and looked at the two girls.
"Please stop for a moment. What's the noise downstairs?"
Qing'er and Cai Cai shut up and listened blankly. They found that the sound was getting closer and closer. They stood up and Cai Cai said, "It's a fortune teller. He seems to have come in."
Qing'er hurried to the stairs, and sure enough she saw a middle-aged man wearing black glasses, a long beard, and holding a cloth banner, walking up.
Qing'er shouted: "Stop, who are you? We have reserved the venue upstairs today, please come down."
The fortune teller said: "It is fate that you come here. This old man can read fortunes, touch bones, read characters and tell fortunes. He can earn a little money and support his family. You are not allowed to give up money. Why don't you, little girl, do your fortune telling first?"
Qing'er curled her lips and asked: "You are wearing black glasses, are you really blind, or are you pretending to be blind? Since you are blind, how do you read people's faces?"
The fortune teller smiled and said: "Little girl, I am blind and my heart is not blind. The so-called fortune telling does not necessarily have to be done with my eyes. For example, when I see a girl, she is a kind-hearted, beautiful and lovely girl. I will definitely marry her in the future."
An extremely noble, charming and good husband."
Qing'er's face turned red after being told this, but she was pleasantly surprised. This old blind man actually saw that her future husband was an extremely noble man, and he was also very romantic.
Isn't this the prince I'm talking about? I'm so happy and excited.
Qing'er liked it in her heart and said in a gentle tone: "I didn't expect that you are so old and you still say nice things. Come on, grandpa, come up and tell our son's fortune."
Qing'er was not wary at all and asked the fortune teller to come up. Li Mu listened to the conversation between the two and thought quickly in his mind that the voice and body shape were too familiar. Li Mu suddenly thought of an old friend.
