The character is broken!The General's Sick Beauty Is a Killer

Chapter 18
April in the capital is full of flowers.

Under the crabapple tree, Tang Xi was lying boneless on the wide swing, her pink skirt was hanging down in the air, a gust of breeze blew by, the gauze skirt was like a dream, more delicate and beautiful than the crabapple flowers on the tree.

This scene was fully seen by the man on the high pavilion in the distance.

He was wearing a royal blue brocade suit, a light fur belt, and a beautiful crown. He was Pei Yuanqing, the son of Dali Siqing.

"Yuan Qing, I'm late." Tang You walked up the stone ladder with the hem of his robe in his hand, with apologies written all over his jade-like face, "I'm sorry, I just had something to do at home."

"No problem." Pei Yuanqing said with a smile, the smile on his face was like a spring breeze.

Tang You raised his hand, and the servants arranged the drinks, cakes and other items in their hands and stepped back, leaving only two people sitting opposite each other in the gazebo.

Tang You held up his sleeve and poured two glasses of wine for the two of them himself, "This pavilion is called Mirror Flower and Water Moon. Every April, when you look down from here, you can see the spring scenery of the garden at a glance. The colorful colors are a must in the capital, especially after the drizzle. The hazy scene is like a dream."

"It's really beautiful." Pei Yuanqing took a sip, the wine was fragrant and sweet, and the beauty under the crabapple tree appeared in his mind.

Tang You looked at his best friend and sighed, "I originally wanted to wait for a good time to invite you together, but when I got up in the morning, I heard that you were leaving for the north soon. I don't know when, but I want to enjoy a feast of flowers here before you leave."

"The emperor's decree was issued in a hurry, and I learned it temporarily, and I didn't have time to inform you." Pei Yuanqing smiled apologetically, "I will punish myself."

"I also have to be fined a glass." Tang You poured a glass of wine, "I, Earl of Xianchang's House, was sorry for Tang Min's matter, and it caused your reputation to be damaged. Now that you have terminated the engagement with my family, I am also relieved. You Deserves better."

Tang You grew up in the mansion, and he knew the character of his three younger sisters in his heart. Sun Wanrong advertised his two daughters as gentle, virtuous, and pure, but he had seen them jealous over the jewelry and dresses. .

Although Xi'er has only been back to the mansion for a year, she seems to have no interest in these foreign things. She stays in Xiyu Pavilion all day long, not fighting or grabbing, weak and timid, but the things hidden in her heart must not be simple. The lost ten years , no one knows how she lived.

In all fairness, he thinks that Pei Yuanqing's family style is clean and upright, and he is not suitable for his three younger sisters.

Pei Yuanqing looked at the spring scenery in the garden, the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, what a good name, "After all, I and your daughter of the Tang family have no destiny."

Back then, before Tang Min and Tang Shu, he made a baby kiss with the newborn Tang Xi. Later, she disappeared when she was four years old and has never been found.A year later, Tang Min and Tang Shu were taken back to the mansion, their mother was helped to become the main wife, and they also became daughters-in-law. They proposed to change relatives and replace the lost Tang Xi with Tang Min. He disagreed, but his father felt that It's feasible, but now, Tang Min slapped the Pei family severely and went crazy.

Now he has some doubts whether he is not suitable for discussing marriage.

"Yuanqing, why did the emperor suddenly order to send [-] pieces of cotton armor to the soldiers in the northern border?"

Tang You was puzzled. The emperor had been indifferent to the northern border for many years. Before Jian Chijin led an army of 20 to attack Beidi, the army food supply was insufficient, and several urgent letters were reported to the court. The emperor was not in such a hurry.

As the chief escort officer of the ten thousand pieces of cotton armor for this trip, Pei Yuanqing knew the ins and outs of this matter clearly. He said slowly, "A few days ago, the Queen asked General Ning Yuan to escort a big Buddha to Hualong Temple. The Buddha statue made by the Queen can be One can imagine how luxurious and extravagant it must be, and she asked General Ning Yuan to escort her, brother Tang should understand what she has in mind."

Tang You nodded. The Ministry of Finance repeatedly delayed the payment of salaries to the soldiers stationed in the northern border on the grounds that the treasury was empty, but turned around and willingly built a luxurious Buddha statue for the queen.

The queen wanted Jian Chijin to see the reality clearly and choose the team she wanted to stand in.

"When General Ningyuan came back, he went straight to the queen's palace to ask for a reward. He said that since the queen believed in Buddhism, she was willing to spend a lot of money to build a statue of Buddha. Change [-] sets of cotton armor." Pei Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "I heard from the people present at the time that General Ning Yuan relied on the queen like a prostitute, and it was the first time for the queen to deal with this kind of scene. She couldn't hold him back, so she agreed."

Tang You smiled and sighed sincerely: "He is a good general."

Pei Yuanqing suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, looked at the vastness of the world, and his eyes were depressed, "Dayu's beautiful rivers and mountains were supported by him, but the people in the palace walls couldn't see it. One day, the faith collapsed, and who would be able to do it with the 20 northern iron hooves?" Can you stop it?"

"Yuan Qing." Tang You frowned, looking at him solemnly.

If these words are heard by a caring person, they will be killed.

Pei Yuanqing lowered his eyes, regained his original clarity and calmness, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm really drunk, I'm starting to talk nonsense."

"Northern border wine is strong, you have such a drinking capacity, you don't know if you can stand it there." Tang You thought he was really drunk.

"It's just a good time to practice. It will save my father from always lecturing me on this matter."

The two tacitly opened up the topic just now.

"Lingfu is broad-minded and far-sighted. He has always wanted you to leave Shangjing for some experience. I guess it is his request to go to the northern border?"

Pei Yuanqing nodded helplessly, "Brother Tang's guess is right." His father always felt that the flowers in the capital city were a cloud of poisonous fog that harmed people's minds. Deep, only by going out for a walk, seeing the vastness of the world, and experiencing the people's feelings everywhere, can you keep your heart and see the way ahead.

As the sun was setting to the west, Pei Yuanqing stood up and said goodbye, "We will leave tomorrow, and there are still a lot of chores to deal with, Yuanqing bids farewell."

Tang You knew that he was taking time out of his busy schedule to go to the appointment today, so he didn't ask to stay, so he said: "See you someday."

Before going down the stairs, Pei Yuanqing stopped again, "Someone reported that a woman whose stomach had been cut open was found near the Earl's Mansion. My father is very likely to use this to trouble you. You should be prepared in advance." Taking a sympathetic look at Tang You, he walked down the stairs quickly.

Tang You knew that Pei Youxi had been watching the Earl's Mansion of Xianchang for a while, but finding a dead body outside the Earl's Mansion didn't mean anything. Pei Youxi at most summoned him for questioning, and he couldn't convict the Earl's Mansion, so he didn't have to worry.

It was the second day Pei Yuanqing left Shangjing.

Dali Temple summoned Xianchang Earl's Mansion to be involved in the murder case.

The movement was so loud that everyone in the streets and alleys of the capital knew it.

Tang You went there in person.

Pei Youxi invited him to the side hall, accompanied only by a master recorder.

Tang You knew that he had no evidence, and the announcement to the world was nothing more than thunder and rain, and he wanted to embarrass the Earl of Xianchang's mansion once.

"Young Master Tang, please." Pei Youxi squeezed his beard and sat on the main seat, and poured himself a cup of tea. Obviously, he didn't have anyone else to pour tea for Tang You.

"Just ask what your lord wants to ask, and Tang will know everything." Tang You went straight to the point.

Pei Youxi raised his eyelids and glanced at him, this kid was not as obsequious as his father.

"It's nothing." Pei Youxi put down the teacup, "Mr. Tang, does Mr. Zhang know Zhang Yuniang from Zuihualou?"

"do not know."

Pei Youxi patted his beard habitually, "That's strange, Zhang Yuniang, an old bustard from Zuihualou, why didn't she stay in Zuihualou in the middle of the night and ran to your Xianchang Earl's mansion? What's more, General Ningyuan stayed overnight at night. In Zuihualou, shouldn't she treat her well?"

These words are more like talking to Tang You than talking to Tang You.

Tang You said calmly: "The road belongs to everyone, and everyone is free to go wherever they want."

Pei Youxi poked at him secretly, this kid can really talk, just like his father.

Pei Youxi also knew that the Earl of Xianchang's mansion could not be convicted based on these inconclusive guesses, and he had no intention of making things difficult for the younger generation. Commitment.

He waved his hand and asked the master to stop writing.

The conversation that follows is private and does not need to be recorded.

"I've been staring at this Zhang Yuniang for a long time." Pei Youxi suddenly said.

Both the master book and Tang You looked at him.

Tang You hid deeply, and his face was calm, but the chief secretary couldn't control his jaw dropping in shock.

An upright adult actually staring at a bustard? !Is this something his little master can listen to? !

Pei Youxi also realized the ambiguity in his words, and corrected him: "I'll send someone to watch!"

Oh~ The master retracted his chin.
