Chapter 126: The Devil is one foot taller

Pei Jun was on his way to the official office and got news of the Tai Chi Palace Incident. The sudden change made him realize that this was the opportunity for Cui Yuan to send troops to Hedong. The timing was fleeting and there was almost no hesitation. Pei Jun immediately wrote a letter to a confidant guard and said, "You should quickly send this letter to Pei Mingyuan and order him to send an expedited pigeon letter to Changshan County."

The guard was about to leave, and Pei Jun suddenly called him. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then ordered decisively: "Send someone to Tongguan immediately to tell Ma Dashui that Ruotianqi Camp will only allow Zhang Huan to take a hundred people out of the seclusion, otherwise, I will be wiped out on the spot."

After the explanation, Pei Jun accelerated the carriage and rushed towards the Daming Palace.

At the same time, Pei Ying walked out of the mansion surrounded by two maids. She was worried all the time these two days, both joy and sorrow. It was Zhang Huan who finally agreed to marry her, which made her suddenly see hope in extreme depression. She is different from Changsun Yiyi. Changsun Yiyi's favor for Zhang Huan comes from the other party's defeat of the Uighur capital and is a legendary hero. This kind of liking is a bit blind. If Zhang Huan herself is very dirty and completely unworthy of the title of this hero, then Changsun Yiyi's liking will turn into a disappointment like falling into hell.

But Pei Ying was different. Zhang Huan's outstanding performance seemed to her for granted. What she couldn't get away with was Zhang Huan's knife in the boat, sharp and domineering. Pei Ying saw a momentum that was unforgettable and unforgettable. From that moment on, a thread of love quietly entangled Zhang Huan's body. However, now Zhang Huan promised to marry her, which made her a little worried about Zhang Huan's attitude. He obviously agreed to marry herself for a benefit, not out of true love.

Pei Ying walked outside the mansion and just now a family came to report that Changsun Yiyi had a letter to hand it to her. She looked around and did not see Changsun Yiyi's carriage. Instead, there were several cavalrymen across the street looking at this side as if nothing had happened.

"Miss Pei, I'm looking for you!" A low voice came from behind her. Pei Ying turned around suddenly and saw a man with a hat leaning on the stone lion. He was tall and his hat was pressed down very low, covering most of his face, revealing only a round of burrs.

Although he couldn't see his face, Pei Ying's heart still beat violently. She had already heard that this man was Zhang Huan she had just thought of.

"Are you... anything wrong?" Pei Ying asked hesitantly, her face turned red in an instant.

Zhang Huan took out a silver medal and smiled and said, "Pei Xiang and I reached an agreement. He asked me to go to Hedong County, but he was worried that the army in Tongguan would not let me go out, so I wanted to ask the lady to help me and accompany me to go out of seclusion."

Pei Ying was shocked. She took a quick step back and went to Tongguan hundreds of miles away? Zhang Huan wanted to take herself hostage!

Zhang Huan knew what she was thinking, and he smiled faintly and said slowly: "Miss Pei, please don't be afraid. If I am determined to kidnap you, I just need to invite you to Qujiangchi for a trip, you should say yes!"

Pei Ying heard what he said was reasonable and let go of her heart. She was a very smart girl. Seeing Zhang Huan wearing a hat to cover her face, she knew that he might have had a hard time. She pondered for a moment: "Since you have a silver medal from your father, although you can't transfer troops, there is absolutely no problem with using it to Tongguan. Uncle Ma will not make things difficult for you."

"I know that it's not a big problem for Pei Xiang to let me go out, but I still have three thousand troops, which is probably a little difficult." Speaking of this, Zhang Huan raised his hat slightly and showed his face. He said sincerely to Pei Ying: "To be honest with Miss Pei, the place I want to go is not Hedong County, but Hexi. I want to take back the land of the Tang Dynasty occupied by Tubo as my foundation, so these three thousand troops are extremely important to me. I beg Miss Pei to help me. After leaving Tongguan, I will send someone to send you back."

After saying that, he looked at Pei Ying with bright eyes. Pei Ying's face turned redder by his scorching gaze, but her heart was extremely keen to judge the authenticity of Zhang Huan's words. This favor was neither big nor small for her. Since she and Zhang Huan had already had a engagement, it was natural to accompany him out of seclusion, but she could not tolerate deception.

Although Zhang Huan is a member of the Zhang family, he has no place to establish himself in Hedong. When he wants to go to Hexi, he either goes to Longyou or takes a long way through Hedong. Of course, it is impossible to go to Longyou. Fengxiang cannot get out, so he defected to his father, so he promised to marry him. Pei Ying immediately made a judgment. He was telling the truth and he was going to Hexi!

'Why not take Wu Gou and collect the fifty states of Guanshan Mountains?' Pei Ying suddenly felt a stream of passion in her chest. This was her wish since childhood. Whenever she read this sentence, she always had the urge to hold a sword to go out. Although this was her dream, the heroic man in front of her could, and he would be his own.

Pei Ying suddenly raised her head and said without hesitation: "When do you want me to leave?"

"Now!" Zhang Huan smiled gently.

On October 29, the 16th year of Qingzhi, a shocking chaos occurred in the Tang Dynasty Palace. The emperor Li was poisoned by the empress dowager Zhang Liangdi. Then Zhang Liangdi committed suicide fearing the crime. The news came out, which shocked the world. At this moment, Cui Yuan sent 80,000 Shandong troops to pass through Chenliu on the grounds of the chaos in the country and defending the Uighurs invasion in the south. The troops crossed the Yellow River in Xingyang. The first stop was Pingyang County. Zhang Ruojin, the governor of Pingyang County, immediately opened the city gate to welcome the Shandong army to the north to fight against Hu.

At the same time, the left prime minister Pei Jun also sent the deputy envoy of Fanyang Jiedushigao to lead 50,000 Hebei troops from Changshan County to Hedong. Within three days, the 40,000 troops sent by Duan Xiushi here, led by General Han Jian, announced that he would obey the unified dispatch of the Prime Minister Pei and join the Hebei Army.

The wind and clouds in the east of the river are surging, and the situation changes drastically. Seeing that the soldiers of Pei and Cui families are about to collide in Taiyuan.

At night, the first winter rain started in Chang'an. The rain was mixed with dense snow spots, cold and biting. A carriage rushed past the gate of Pei Mansion, and the silence immediately returned to the front. But not long after, another carriage rushed toward this place with the dense sound of horse hooves.

The study room was bright and Pei Jun walked around the room with his hands behind his back. Not only was the Left Prime Minister not happy about the unstoppable victory of the Hebei army, but he looked extremely angry. He had just received a letter from his daughter Pei Ying, saying that he would go to the frontier and make achievements for the country.

"Nonsense!" Pei Jun slapped the table heavily, frightening Pei Mingyuan next to him. In his memory, it was the first time that his father, who had always been gentle and elegant, had become so angry.

Pei Jun was so angry that his chest was undulating. Ten days ago, Zhang Huan actually kidnapped his daughter away before leaving and sent someone to send him a letter, forcing him to order Zhang Huan's Tianqi Camp to leave Tongguan, and to let him go to Hedong County to block Cui Yuan from going north. However, afterwards, Zhang Huan did not release her daughter as promised, but took her across the Yellow River again. But now Zhang Huan actually gave up Hedong County and continued to go north, and even her daughter was confused. Don't she know that she was going to die?

"Father, I think this may be a good thing." Pei Mingyuan next to him said carefully: "Didn't Zhang Huan have no sincerity to defect to his father? If the girl is by his side, he will naturally become his father."

"It's natural!" Pei Jun couldn't help but curse a swear word, "Do you know where they are going? It's Hexi, it's OK to go to Hexi, but if you have to pass Wei Er's territory, how could that crocodile let go of the fat meat in his mouth?"

"But it was Zhang Huan at the beginning of the year......"

"Are you really stupid or fake stupid?"

Pei Jun interrupted Pei Mingyuan impatiently, "Is it possible that the Wei family can reach this day by being kind and trustworthy? At the beginning of the year, it was because his Wei family suffered a severe blow and had to let go of their figure. Besides, Zhang Ruohao was there at that time, and Wei Ye had to give him some face. Now that Cui and Pei families divide Hedong, how can he not be jealous? At this time, Zhang Huan went and just filled his teeth."

Pei Jun remembered the most precious daughter in Zhang Huan's hands again, and couldn't help but feel anxious, but he was out of reach at this moment. What should I do?

"Please don't worry, my father, I think things may not be that bad." Pei Mingyuan saw the anxiety in his father's eyes and comforted him: "The child has had several dealings with Zhang Huan. He is far-sighted and thorough. I thought he would not have considered Wei Er's ambitions. He should have a solution, and the child thought that his real purpose in going to Hedong was not just to borrow the road."

Speaking of this, Pei Mingyuan saw that his father did not say a word, and felt a little timid, so he stopped talking and dared not say anything again. Pei Jun glanced at him again and said in surprise: "Why don't you say it?"

Pei Mingyuan saw his father listening, and he let go of his heart and continued: "I thought his real purpose was to take advantage of Zhang Potian's in Chang'an and Hedong chaos, and take the opportunity to absorb the assets of the Zhang family and even the Hedong army to enrich his strength."

Pei Jun's heart gradually calmed down. His son said it well, just look at him and Cui Xiaofu joined forces to kill Li Shi and blame Zhang Liangdi. Zhang Huan is indeed different from ordinary people. Moreover, Pei Mingyuan's words also reminded him that Zhang Huan's real purpose in killing Li Shi was to create chaos and take the opportunity to seize the capital of the Zhang family.

If this is true, Zhang Huan is a very powerful hero. Pei Jun gently stroked his beard, perhaps because he was too worried. If his daughter married him from this, it would be a good thing for the Pei family.

He felt relieved and turned his mind to the situation in Hedong. Seeing that there was an inevitable conflict with the Cui family, how to properly resolve this conflict was indeed an extremely difficult and urgent matter.

At this moment, the sound of running footsteps came from outside, and the butler nervously reported: "Master, Cui Xiangguo is here, I'm asking for a meeting outside the door!"
