Chapter 48: Why not promise each other?

Jiang Bo retreated completely, not only took back the people who were pursuing Gongsun sisters, but he even left Jicheng on the grounds that he went out to do business.

As Pei Min expected, the poison fell on the hands of the Gongsun sisters, but it was just a bottle of poison. The five harms of their sisters used to harm others or poison rats had nothing to do with him. But it was a big deal to fall into Xue Na's hands. Wan Yi made Xue Na realize what they planned, and it was impossible to determine whether Princess Taiping would collapse because of this, but he would definitely pay a heavy price, which would harm himself and his family.

Jiang Bo had no choice, and Pei Min had no room for him to choose.

In order to prevent Wanyi, Pei Min did not directly ask the Gongsun sisters to move out of the Li Mansion immediately, but sent them food to stay for a few more days to avoid fraud.

Two days later, Pei Min paid attention to Jiang Bo's movements, and the situation was calm. The other party did retreat completely, so he felt at ease.

That night, Pei Min sneaked into Li's mansion and told Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi about the news.

Gongsun Youshang is good, she is calm by nature, and she looks at Millions in Li's Mansion! She said that practicing sword skills and studying sword dance, and trapped in Li's Mansion not only did not have any impact on her, but instead made a lot of progress in all aspects. Gongsun Xi, who is active, can no longer stand the loneliness. In just a few days, she had only practiced swords and could not make any sounds, just like living a day like years, and was uncomfortable all over. If it weren't for the trouble she caused herself, her sister Gongsun You watched her unyieldingly, and she would have been unable to stand it. She learned that she had left the house tonight and was almost screaming happily.

Fortunately, Gongsun You knew the nature of this girl, so he grabbed her first so that he would not disturb the guards outside.

Even so, Gongsun Xi still had Venus eyes and couldn't wait to say, "When will we go out? I don't want to stay here for a moment."

Pei Min replied, "If you don't dislike me, I will follow me back to Yuan's mansion tonight, and I will be in my house for the time being." Although Li Wuyi is missing in this southern street, it is still a place where dragons and snakes are mixed. Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi are good at martial arts in broad daylight. It is possible to find out that the Li's mansion can be seen, and maybe they will be treated as the Xi tribe and the Khitan traitor.

They had to go out at night. The curfew was implemented at night. The inn had been closed. There were soldiers patrolling the streets. Yuan's mansion was the only place to go.

Gongsun You obviously understood this and nodded: "I'm sorry, Mr. Pei again."

Pei Min smiled and said, "It's good if you don't mind. I can squeeze with Brother Yuan and Brother Yan. There's no trouble, so it's too late. I'll send you out of the city tomorrow morning. Even though it's still not enough, it's better to stay here for a long time, so as not to get into trouble."

Gongsun You took out a small blue porcelain bottle from his waist bag and said, "This is the bottle of poison. Gongsun You is a wife and doesn't know what to do, so let the young master judge."

Pei Min reached out to take it, and the porcelain bottle was made very finely. He opened the plug and smelled it. It really had a sweet and fragrant smell. I wonder what would happen if I would drink it? Such thoughts flashed through his mind, and he smiled secretly and thought to himself for death, stuffed it back, put it in his arms, and thought for a little bit: "Let him go there like this, Princess Taiping's power is terrifying, and even surpassed the emperor. If I take this poison to complain, this man would be a little slight, and he didn't have to think about it. The first person who died must be me. It's a little possible to hand it over to the Grand Governor. But he treats me very well, and I don't want to push him into the fire pit." He added to his heart, "Governor, after all, it's just the Grand Governor!"

Xue Ne general Men Huzi, as the Bianshen who guards the ranks, is completely qualified, but he is really much inferior to his father Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian and Liu Rengui.

Regardless of their ability or reputation in the government and the country, Xue Na and those people are completely out of the ordinary.

It can be said that as long as Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, and Liu Rengui were reborn by Li Zhi, she would not dare to be emperor if she gave Wu Zetian ten courage. There was such a thing in history. Li Zhi died of illness and Wu Zetian intended to take power and interfere in the national affairs. At that time, Liu Rengui was the prime minister. He directly talked about Empress Lu's chaos and destruction in front of Wu Zetian. His words were sharp, almost equivalent to pointing at Wu Zetian's nose and scolding her as Empress Lu of the Han Dynasty. If she continued, she would not have a good end.

With Wu Zetian's nature and means, if others say this, the nine clans will be destroyed. However, Liu Rengui's prestige in the court and the country is unparalleled. Even Wu Zetian had to lick his face and explain to him personally that the emperor was mourning and could not speak up the government orders, and she temporarily handled political affairs for the emperor. She repeatedly assured Liu Rengui that she would take it as a warning and would not repeat the Lu family's footsteps.

It was also because Liu Rengui, an old minister who could only suppress the scene, died of illness, that Wu Zetian dared to let go of his means and bully her son and seize power.

If Xue Ne has the prestige of Liu Rengui or his father, Pei Min would not mind sending Xue Nei to the wealthy and he would stabilize the court. However, he did not have that prestige, and breaking things out would make the turmoil of the government and the opposition even more powerful. Xue Ne was not good at political struggles, and if he was involved, he might not be able to retire. Telling the matter would cause him the majority.

Pei Min had this thought and decided to keep this in mind, not forcibly show off and pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, so as not to harm others and himself. However, he did not intend to throw away the poison, and keeping it may still play a role at critical moments.

Seeing that they were not going to leave, Gongsun Xi urged them repeatedly.

Pei Min responded, and led the two sisters Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi to quietly leave the Li Mansion and move into the Yuan Mansion. He did not tell Yuan Luqian and Yan Gaoqing about this. It was not that he did not trust the two, but that was not necessary. They would leave early the next day, so why bother to implicate irrelevant people?

That night, Pei Min found an excuse to ask Yan Gaoqing for advice on government affairs. He chatted for half a night and couldn't stop. He naturally got up and fell asleep.

Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi were lying side by side on the bed, thinking that they would leave tomorrow, and they had no intention of sleeping. They talked about this trip to Jicheng, and they all had different feelings.

"When I return to my hometown, I don't know how to face Uncle Wang?" Gongsun Xi and Wang Wan couldn't get along because the latter was sarcastic and mean, but thinking that the neighbor who had been around for more than ten years had died like this, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart.

Gongsun You also sighed slightly, "Tell me the truth. I believe that Uncle Wang is in the sky and will not blame us. We all tried our best to experience the sinister hearts of people, but also felt the heroic and righteousness. This trip is worth it. Sister Xi, how should we repay Mr. Pei for helping us so much?"

Gongsun Xi smiled strangely and said, "Why don't you agree with me?"

"What nonsense!"
