Pei Min’s status and status are no longer as good as before. He was originally an alternative to the governor.

In addition to having the power of the military governor, he also served as the inspector and held the military and political power of Longyou. Now he is the Jiedushi of the Second Town, holding the safety of the borders in the northwest.

Almost all his actions were in the eyes of the world.

Since he used thunder to rectify the military affairs of Hexi, some people have begun to comment on it.

I supported Youzhi and felt that he was too hasty. Anyway, the Tang Dynasty was enlightened and did not judge the crime by words.

Not to mention true scholars and talents who care about the world, fake scholars who are good at things and lively, or even the people who are free, they will say the previous one to make fun of them.

Pei Min was assassinated, such a big thing could not be hidden from the world.

How to assassinate and how to assassinate, the rumor and description are vivid, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

Especially when Geng Hou, the former governor who colluded with horse thieves, spread the story of assassinating Pei Min at close range with his arm and crossbow. Those who understand the power of arm and crossbow all have a feeling of Pei Min's misfortune.

The power of the arm-opening crossbow is too great, and it can be regarded as the most powerful weapon in individual combat in this era. If it is equipped with a special armor-piercing crossbow arrow, even iron armor cannot be stopped.

How can Pei Min’s flesh and blood body resist?

As a result, rumors spread that Pei Min was severely injured and was in danger.

The rumors are getting worse and worse, and many versions have been derived from the crowd.

Even the entire Hexi was in panic.

In Xizhou, news of Pei Min's assassination spread to Xizhou.

After hearing this news, Xia Shan immediately found Cui Xiyi, the governor of Xizhou.

"Governor, do you know the news of Pei Shuai's assassination?"

Cui Xiyi looked at the map without turning his eyes, his face calm and said without any fluctuations: "I heard it!"

Xia Shan was angry, and she transferred Pei Min to Xizhou to assist Cui Xiyi.

But they did not fit. Cui Xiyi was a literati. Although he knew military affairs, he was inevitably a literati's fault.

"Only women are difficult to raise with villains. If they are close, they will not be inferior, and if they are far away, they will be resentful."

This famous saying by Confucius just corresponds to the situation of the two of them.

It’s not that Cui Xiyi doesn’t want to get along with Xia Shan, but Xia Shan is Yunying’s unmarried body and belongs to the eldest daughter of Huanghua. He is worried that it will be criticized if it is too close to you, and there will be a gap when it is far away, so his attitude is neither cold nor hot, and he is particularly entangled...

Xia Shan is straight, thinking that Cui Xiyi has the bad habit of a literati, she looks down on them, and is too lazy to use her hot face to touch her cold butt.

As a member of the Longyou Army, Xia Shan respected Pei Min very much, even surpassing her uncle Guo Zhiyun, the former governor of Longyou.

Seeing that Cui Xiyi didn't care about Pei Min's life and death at all, Xia Shan was full of anger and burst into tears in an instant, shouting: "Ship Pei treats us as if we were born. I want to go back to Liangzhou to visit."

Cui Xiyi was stunned and said suddenly: "Xia Jun misunderstood. I am not unwilling to care about Pei Shuai's safety. You and I are not a doctor or a famous doctor, and even if you are intent, you are powerless. Instead of disturbing your mind, it is better to handle the things that Pei Shuai arranged properly so that he can rest with peace of mind. I believe that auspicious people will have their own fortune, Pei Shuai is very lucky and a mere thief will not be able to take his life."

Xia Shan has also experienced a long battle formation. He heard something in Cui Xiyi's words and hesitated: "What does Governor Cui mean?"

Cui Xiyi said in a deep voice: "I have been to Xizhou for more than half a month and specially invited the former governor Cao Yingjie to learn about the situation of the bandits in the territory. It is almost certain that the horse thieves in Xizhou are not real thieves, but aliens in the grassland. They plunder under the guise of horse thieves. To deal with them, we cannot use the means of dealing with horse thieves to make small fuss. They have the support of the tribes behind them, and small-scale losses cannot hurt their muscles. If they don't hurt them, they will come back soon. If there is a thousand days of thieves, there is no reason to defend against thieves for thousands of days. The former governor suffered this loss. He could defend against two or three times, but could not defend against four or five times. Only by hurting them and not daring them again can they get it back once and for all."

A trace of anger flashed in Xia Shan's eyes, and she clenched her fists and said, "You mean, those miscellaneous people want to take advantage of the opportunity to rob Pei Shuai?"

"I'm not sure, but this is possible!" Cui Xiyi's eyes flashed with a few wise lights and said, "They are not horse thieves, they are irregular and arbitrarily. Whenever they attack, they are acting after discussion by wise men and counselors, so they can guess their whereabouts. The more chaotic we are, the greater their chances of attacking, just like the Turks taking advantage of Governor Xue's death to attack Liangzhou. If Governor Pei hadn't been in Liangzhou, he could control Yang Jingshu, what would happen in Liangzhou? It's conceivable."

"It's outrageous!" Xia Shan thought that someone actually used Pei Min's assassination to make a fuss, and she was furious, exuding the aura of not entering the stranger.

Cui Xiyi was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Pei Min to be so motivated by the army. He had a sudden idea and said, "I have a plan that may increase the chance of the thieves attacking."

Xia Shan bowed to Cui Xiyi and said, "Please say that you are willing to cooperate with me with all your strength. You are right. I can't change everything when I go to Liangzhou. Why not stay in Xizhou and kill the enemy in the future so that Pei Shuai can rest assured to recuperate."

Cui Xiyi smiled and said, "Xia Jun Envoy, what do you think we have a relationship?"

Xia Shan looked a little embarrassed and paused, "I had disrespect to the governor before going down, so I hope the governor would understand."

Cui Xiyi waved his hand and said, "This is a problem that is not a military envoy, and I'm telling the truth. I have a very virtuous first wife who serves her mother and raises her children in her hometown. I don't want any gossip to spread to my hometown, so I keep a distance from the military envoy."

As soon as the misunderstanding was resolved, Xia Shan immediately laughed and said, "I thought the governor looked down on me, a rough man. The governor turned out to be a person of temperament. I misunderstood you."

This time she sincerely apologized.

Cui Xiyi also replied seriously and said, "We have a bad relationship, and I believe the other party knows it too. Why don't we intensify the conflict now and then the military envoy goes to Liangzhou to 'visit' Pei Shuai?"

Xia Shan understood immediately, understood, and closed her hands and said, "That's it!"

Soon, news that Cui Xiyi and Xia Shan tear their faces spread in Xizhou.

Xia Shan was transferred to Xizhou by the Longyou Army. She was originally directly under Pei Min, but now she has been replaced by the governor of Xizhou Cui Xiyi. She lacks basic respect for this new boss.

Cui Xiyi was doing well in Suzhou and kept Suzhou in order, but was transferred to the chaotic and complex Xizhou. He had long complained in his heart.

One is as respectful to Pei Min, and the other is complaining about it.

The two have been in a cold war, maintaining the superficial relationship.

Pei Min's attack became the fuse for the intensification of their conflicts, and instantly ignited their weak peace.
