On the most lush tree, a tall black shadow was silently watching Yuan Jun's carriage approaching. If Yuchi Gong saw him from behind, he would recognize him at a glance, and it was the middle-aged man.￡∝,

But his positive appearance has changed. He is no longer the middle-aged man with a beard, but a young man with a strong appearance. It is Pei Xingjian, the grandson of Pei Ju, who is extremely relied on.

Pei Xingjian's task was to capture Yuan Jun. Although he didn't know why he did this, the head of the family was just a word, and he had to carry out it without fail.

Seeing that the carriage had gradually entered the ambush circle, Pei Xingjian waved his hand and more than a dozen black shadows appeared on the wall. They held long swords in their hands, each eager to try, waiting for the carriage to step forward.

Just as the carriage was about to enter the shade of the largest tree, Yuan Jun's worry finally happened. Several men in black fell from the sky at the same time and landed on the horses of three followers. Three screams were heard, and the bodies of the three followers fell to the ground. Then the coachman was stabbed into the throat with a sword and turned over and fell from the carriage.

In the carriage, Yuan Jun also heard the scream and was shocked, but he reacted very quickly and resolutely drew his sword and stabbed him at a man in black who was about to pounce on the carriage. The man in black twisted his body and jumped onto the roof of the carriage.

Pei Xingjian whispered on the wall: "Control the people in the carriage immediately!"

Yuan Jun suddenly heard the voice, the middle-aged man who told his secret. He was stunned. Outside the carriage, more than a dozen men in black jumped off the wall and rushed towards the carriage.

But at this moment, more than a dozen cavalry rushed from behind like lightning. The leader held a large iron stick in his hand and was extremely majestic. It was Yuchi Gong.

Yuchi Gong rushed to the side of the carriage first, swung the iron rod in his hand and smashed it hard, with a loud "bang!" sound. The car window was smashed, and the wood flew around, and a four-foot-wide hole appeared on the carriage.

Following Yuchi Gong was Zhang Xuan. He controlled the horse with both legs and leaned forward to grab Yuan Jun, who was curled up in the corner of the carriage.

"Young Master Yuan, we are here to save you!"

Yuan Jun was about to turn over and climb to the front row. He heard Zhang Xuan's words, he was stunned for a moment, but in the moment when he was stunned, Zhang Xuan grabbed his neck and grabbed him out of the carriage.

Yuan Jun immediately reacted. He regretted and hated in his heart. He raised his sword and chopped it, but his arm was pinched by a hand like an iron clamp, which made him scream. The sword fell to the ground with a clang.

But as the rabbit rose and falconed fell, more than a dozen cavalrymen came from behind and took away the prey that the man in black saw was about to get.

Seven or eight men in black were shocked and rushed towards more than a dozen cavalrymen. Yuchi Gong swept away with an iron rod. Several men in black could not dodge and were beaten to fly one foot away, and blood spurted. The rest of the men in black were shocked by the momentum of the cavalry and retreated one after another.

Yuchi Gong sneered. "I have already shown mercy to my subordinates. If I don't know anything, don't blame me for breaking your head."

"Don't leave when you wait!"

Pei Xingjian jumped down from the big tree. His target was not Yuchi Gong, but Zhang Xuan who was holding Yuan Jun. Pei Xingjian's short halberd in his hand slashed towards Zhang Xuan like a flash of lightning.

Zhang Xuan held Yun Jun with his left hand and pulled out his battle knife to fight Pei Xingjian's short halberd. He heard a sting of "Dang!", and Pei Xingjian was bounced away by a powerful force, and his back hit the wall heavily, rolling to the ground.

Zhang Xuan's war horse also took a few steps back. He had seen Pei Xingjian's appearance clearly, and he looked very similar to Pei Xingyan. Judging from his age, he probably was Pei Xingyan's brother.

Zhang Xuan smiled, "You should learn from Lingdi."

He urged the horse to shout: "Let's go!"

More than a dozen cavalrymen rode their horses and rushed to another small path towards the south, and quickly disappeared.

Pei Xingjian slowly stood up from the ground. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared blankly at the cavalry running away. Pei Xingjian was so angry that he punched the carriage hard, and they made wedding dresses for people for nothing.

Although Pei Xingjian failed to rob Yuan Jun, he ordered his men to quickly clean up the four bodies on the path, and even a pool of blood on the ground was shoveled away, as if nothing had happened.

In the room, Pei Xingjian knelt down on one knee to the head of the family Pei Ju and apologized, "The grandson was not good enough and failed to catch Yuan Jun. Please punish him."

Pei Ju's face was not angry, but he looked a little regretful. After a while, he asked, "Are you sure the person who captured Yuan Jun is really the Sui army?"

"The grandson could feel that their style of conduct was indeed the Sui army, and it should not be a lie, and the person he led seemed to know Xing Yan."

"well!"

Pei Ju had already guessed who the other party was, and he sighed softly, "It's really a pity. I still lost because I despised him."

"Otherwise, my grandson would have gone to Lihun's mansion and would have destroyed the Wuchuan Mansion's plan."

Pei Ju shook his head, "If I want to destroy the Wuchuan Mansion's plan, why should I send you to intercept Yuan Jun?"

Pei Xingjian scratched his head and his mind was confused. Since the head of the family did not want to destroy the plan of Wuchuan Mansion, why did he send him to tell Yuan Jun about that?

Pei Ju sat down and said to him earnestly: "If I was not mistaken, it should be Zhang Xuan who kidnapped Yuan Jun. I believe he and I have the same purpose. Although this person is young, he already has the style of a chess player. You must learn from him."

"Yes! Grandson obeys the order."

Pei Ju glanced at him and smiled, "Do you still not understand his intention to capture Yuan Jun?"

"The grandson is stupid!"

"Tell you this way! Zhang Xuan's move will completely tear apart the Guanlong nobles. Of course, this is also the purpose of my request to capture Yuanjun."

At this time, footsteps came from outside the door, and the butler reported at the door: "Your Majesty, General Zhang Xuan is asking for a meeting outside the door!"

Pei Ju was stunned and then slowly laughed, "It's interesting! It's really beyond my husband's expectations."

He immediately ordered: "Let Master Xin greet General Zhang for me, and ask him to the outer study room. I will change my clothes and arrive immediately."

Pei Ju slowly smiled at Pei Xingjian, who was also stunned and stunned, "See, this is the master of chess."

He turned around and walked towards his inner study. Pei Xingjian sighed slightly. He had to admire Zhang Xuan's courage. He snatched the person away from his front feet and came to the door. He felt that although Zhang Xuan was young, he was no longer on the same level as himself.

Two little girls were lying lanterns in front. Pei Ju changed into a loose Zen dress and walked towards the study without panic. He actually thought that Zhang Xuan would come. If Zhang Xuan was a smart person, he would not be an enemy of him. But he didn't expect Zhang Xuan to come so quickly.

Frankly speaking, Pei Ju was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Xuan. After all, Zhang Xuan ruined his affairs twice. The last time was Li Shanheng, and this time it was Yuan Jun. He was dissatisfied. However, Pei Ju is a veteran in the officialdom for a long time. He knew very well that the newborn calf was not afraid of a tiger. The key was not to kill a calf. It was how to turn this calf into his own use.

For example, now, Zhang Xuan actually came to explain on his own initiative, which gave Pei Ju a glimmer of hope of winning the bull market.

In the study outside, Zhang Xuanzheng and Pei Xin had a great conversation. Although Zhang Xuan met a group of famous children in Ji County and had a bad impression of the famous children, he gradually learned about the other side of the famous children.

For example, Cui Yuanhan, whom he met in Qinghe County, gave him extremely important information at the critical moment, and made him evacuate in time, and then hid A Yuan in the mansion. He had no coldness in Ji County at all.

There is also Pei Xin in front of him who is well-informed, well-educated, and humble and low-key. It also makes Zhang Xuan feel that he has excellent cultivation. It is no accident that these families can pass on their inheritance for a hundred years.

At this time, Pei Xin suddenly stood up and saluted respectfully and said, "Grandfather!"

When Zhang Xuan turned around, he saw Pei Ju appearing behind him at some point. He was looking at him with a smile on his face. Zhang Xuan felt a little ashamed. He quickly got up and saluted, "Sister Zhang Xuan, please see Pei Shangshu!"

"No need to be polite, please sit down!"

Pei Ju asked Zhang Xuan to sit down, and he also sat down and said to his grandson Pei Xin: "You sit down too!"

"Yes!" Pei Xin sat down respectfully beside his grandfather.

Pei Ju asked the maid to have tea again and said with a smile: "How could General Zhang think of coming to find me?"

"I'm here to ask Shangshu Pei for some knowledge."

"Please ask?"

Pei Ju smiled and shook her head, "I don't really understand."

"I read Han Feizi's statement yesterday and I feel deeply, but I don't understand it very much."

"Oh? General Zhang is actually interested in Han Feizi, so you might as well tell me." Pei Ju laughed.

"Han Feiziyun, a country with a small country but not a low place, a country with little strength but not fearing strength, a country with rudeness and insulting big neighbors, and a person with greed, stubborn and clumsy friends can be destroyed! The younger generation thinks that Goguryeo made this mistake, what does Pei Shangshu think?"

Pei Ju immediately understood that Zhang Xuan had come to apologize to him. He did not mean Goguryeo, it was clearly meant to be himself.

Pei Ju felt much more comfortable immediately. He liked this implicitness and also liked Zhang Xuan's self-knowledge, and a child could teach!

He glanced at Zhang Xuan and said slowly: "There are some things that are clear in my heart, and I also understand in my heart. Although some misunderstandings have occurred between us, I believe the clearance does not want these misunderstandings to arise. I am right!"

Zhang Xuan no longer talked about Han Feizi. He said sincerely: "Although I have always been very glad that my wish can be fulfilled, I understand in my heart that without the tolerance of Shangshu Pei, I cannot achieve my wish. For example, today, I can sit here and talk to Shangshu Pei, and I am grateful to Shangshu Pei for his heart."

Pei Ju laughed, "You can be so honest, which shows that you are an open-minded person. How do you plan to deal with him? You should know who I mean."

"Report to Mr. Pei, I am here in a carriage. That person is in my carriage at this time. If Mr. Pei needs it, I can hand him over to Mr. Pei immediately."

Pei Ju was stunned. He never expected that Zhang Xuan would bring Yuan Jun, which was completely beyond his expectations.

Pei Ju stared at Zhang Hyun for a long time before slowly shook her head and said, "I don't need him, I hope my nephew will let him go when the matter is over."

"My younger brothers obey the order!"

Pei Ju pondered for a long time and asked again: "What are the plans for nephew in the future?"

Zhang Xuan bowed and said, "Report to Mr. Pei, I have decided to go to General Zhang Xutuo's account."

"Don't plan to go to Guanzhong?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head decisively, "I don't have this idea!"

"Is that so disappointing someone!"

Pei Ju and Zhang Xuan looked at each other, and both of them laughed in disbelief.

Zhang Xuan said goodbye and left. Pei Ju stood alone in front of the window and pondered for a long time. At this time, Pei Xin sent Zhang Xuan away and came back. He slowly walked into the room, not daring to disturb his grandfather's contemplation, and stood at the door with his hands down.

After a long time, Pei Ju looked back at him, "Has he left?"

"Yes! The grandson has sent him away."

As the head of the family, Pei Ju has always attached great importance to the cultivation of the younger generations of the family, but there are differences in closeness and distantness. Many times it is difficult for him to achieve equality. For example, Pei Xingjian and Pei Xin, one is the grandson of the clan and the other is his eldest grandson. Of course, Pei Ju is more concerned about his eldest grandson.

He waved his hand, "Sit down, grandfather has something to say to you."

Pei Xin sat down, Pei Ju smiled gently and said, "I guess you were confused when my conversation with Zhang Xuan, right!"

Pei Xin nodded, "But grandson felt that he seemed to be here to apologize."

"It's not like apologizing. He is afraid of offending me and a strong enemy, so he wants to restore my dissatisfaction with him."

Pei Ju told his grandson briefly about what happened recently, and finally sighed: "I was worried that he would be pulled over by Dou Qing, but he actually went to Shandong, which shows that Dou Qing did not win him over. It can be seen that this person is very independent and will never become a vassal easily. In fact, my original intention also wants him to use it for me, but now it seems that he has this intention. Tell me, what should I do next?"

Pei Xin didn't expect his grandfather to ask for his opinion. He was a little flattered. He thought for a while and whispered: "Did grandfather forget Yuan Qing?"

Pei Ju suddenly realized that he really forgot Pei Xingyan. Pei Ju nodded and said in praise: "Your suggestions are very good. You will pay attention to Zhang Xuan in the future. You must grasp his movements. If there are any major changes, you must tell me in time."

"The grandson understands."
