You are back

Chapter 14
Almost at the same time, Pei Qing entered a business firm across from the inn, stood in the attic, looked down from a high position and watched the lights of the two rooms on the opposite side turn on and off again.

"Why are you here?" Pei Qing took half a step back, turned around and looked at the steward Min Da who was standing with his hands hanging down and asked.

"There's something wrong with Yangzhou. Although it's not serious, I think it's better for me to report it to my master face to face." Min Da stepped aside to pass Pei Qing, and replied in a low voice: "The fourth master of the Huainan Palace made a surprise attack. In our case, the second master was sent to Yangzhou at the foot of the mountain, and when the second master arrived, fourth master Shao had not yet returned to Yangzhou, saying that he was attacked on the road, and the younger one had not had time to find out the truth."

"It's true." Pei Qing came downstairs, sat on the chair, and answered.

"Yes, our second master arrived in Yangzhou. On the first day, he went to Deyilou to eat steamed buns filled with soup. Coincidentally, he met Second Master Shao of the Huainan Prince's Mansion. He ate the buns for more than half an hour."

Min Da said while looking at Pei Qing's face. Pei Qing lowered his eyelids and sipped tea with an expressionless face.

"I was a little bit careful, and checked it out quietly. Second master Shao seldom goes out to eat, and he doesn't seem to like steamed stuffed buns very much. Deyilou, this is the first time he has gone back this year."

"En." Pei Qing hummed.

"The next day, Fourth Master Shao returned to Yangzhou, and our Second Master went to the palace. That afternoon, I heard that Fourth Master Shao knelt in the ancestral hall and that the Crown Prince was going to the capital. It was said that the Crown Prince invited him to the capital."

Pei Qing's expression was slightly stagnant, and then he frowned, "Has it been decided yet?"

"Yes, that night, the brochure for entering Beijing was handed out immediately. It was said that they would leave in these two days, and Fourth Master Shao also entered Beijing with him, as well as Fourth Master Shao's direct sister, Seventh Miss Shao Mingdang."

Min Da looked at Pei Qing's furrowed brows, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this trip was the right one.

"Go down and have a rest, then rush back immediately. I'll leave for Yangzhou right away and see Shao Cong. You go back and make arrangements." After a moment of silence, Pei Qing ordered Min Da, who hurriedly agreed and bowed out.

Pei Qing walked back and forth a few times and told Jin Dou, who was standing in the corner of the room with his hands down, "Go back and ask Uncle Sun to come over."

Jin Dou agreed and bowed out.

There was still a while before dawn, Jin Dou and the steward Sun Rong led the horses and quietly entered the trading house.

In the business house, Pei Qing was playing bunt and was already practicing in the yard. Jin Dou led the horse down, and Sun Rong stood next to Yu Su, waiting for an answer.

After Pei Qing received the credit, Sun Rong took the hot, wet cotton handkerchief from Yusu and handed it over. Pei Qing took it, "I'm going to Yangzhou in a while. Shao Cong invites himself to Beijing. Before he leaves, I Gotta see him."

Sun Rong was taken aback, "Because of the sneak attack on Duo Yunjian?"

"Well, after the second brother arrived in Yangzhou, I met Shao Qi first." Pei Qing's voice was cold.

Sun Rong's complexion changed, "How can you..."

"Well, what can't we do? There are six uncles. I'm afraid they have joined forces." Pei Qing's voice was cold, "Weng Weng had expected something like this a few years before he left. Weng Weng said , no matter how good the rules are, they can't stop people's inadequacy, let's not talk about this, this is something we can't control."

Sun Rongchang sighed.

"I have to see Shao Cong and Shao Yu, here," Pei Qing pointed to the inn opposite, "you watch for me, this is also a big deal."

"Yes." Sun Rong agreed.

"From today on, if you stay with me, you don't have to worry about the mountain. Uncle Qing is on the mountain, so you can rest assured." Pei Qing said as he sat down to eat. Yusu placed the food on the small table next to him. Sun Rong sat down. While eating, he listened to the instructions. When he heard that he was on the mountain, he hesitated and said, "What about Lin Zhong?"

Lin Zhong is the deputy manager of the mountain, and he was the confidant of the sixth master Pei Zhenchuan in the early days.

"Don't worry. First, there is Uncle Qing. Second, the day the accident happened on the mountain, I asked Lin Zhong to go down the mountain to report. He didn't tell Uncle Six about Xiaoxi." Pei Qing smiled slightly, "Uncle Six His son is only 12 years old this year."

"It's already 12 years old." Sun Rong answered meaningfully.

Pei Qing smiled, "Yes, neither big nor small. If Uncle Liu's team wants to take over the back mountain, there is no need to think about it within three generations. For more than 20 years, my eldest cousin has only focused on using their Zhuo'an Tang team. Lin Zhongzhen If you want to take refuge in him, you have to weigh it carefully, whether you can be reused in the past, I am afraid that the more you think about it, the less you dare, on the mountain, don't worry about it for the time being."

"Yes." Sun Rong's tone became much more relaxed.

"The man in the inn will definitely go to the capital when he gets to Yuzhang City. Just in time, I also want to visit the capital." Pei Qing finished a bowl of soup in several gulps.

"Is that the plan?" Sun Rong's expression changed slightly.

"Well, the Pei family has been hiding from the world for more than a hundred years. Now," Pei Qing paused, "the formation was destroyed, the stone house collapsed, and she came down the mountain alive again."

Sun Rong looked blank, he couldn't understand these few words.Pei Qing didn't intend for him to understand, so he was silent for a moment, and continued with what he said just now, "Besides, the first cousin and the sixth uncle have already extended their hands, I can't stand by and watch, Shao Cong enters the capital, here in Yangzhou, it will be too difficult to make a move, Moreover, sticking to Yangzhou means that the Pei family is fighting among themselves, so it is meaningless, it is better to go to the capital to have a look. Duoyun Villa has always looked at the world, regardless of place, this is what the old mountain master said."

"It should indeed be so, I think so too." Sun Rong's frown gradually relaxed.

"I'm going to leave now. Chen Yanfeng is childish. You must watch that person carefully." Pei Qing stood up.Sun Rong hurriedly stood up and agreed, "Yes, don't worry."

The next day, Chen Yanfeng really didn't bother Li Yan. Li Yan woke up naturally after falling asleep. He lay on the bed and tossed and turned for a while before getting up. He took a shower, changed his clothes, and came out comfortably and refreshed. , went out and turned a corner, and saw Chen Yanfeng finding a broken rocking chair from nowhere and sitting in the yard, with his feet crossed, three fingers holding cups, looking bored.

"Have you found the boat?" Li Yan stood behind him and kicked the chair.

"Find it, let's go after lunch, look, the sun is overhead, it's already past noon, if you can sleep until this time, tsk!" Chen Yanfeng tsk-tsk.

"What's for lunch?" Li Yan ignored Chen Yanfeng's tsk tsk, and turned his head to look at the inn.

"The kitchen is over there, go and see for yourself." Chen Yanfeng pointed with his toes.

Li Yan followed the direction of his toes and entered the kitchen yard. The woman washing vegetables and doing chores in the yard and the cook standing by the open-air stove all looked at her.

Li Yan glanced at the greasy and dirty stove, and then at the swarm of flies flying on a large piece of meat next to him. Feeling sick, he turned and left.

Out of sight is out of sight, and no matter how much you look at it, you won’t be able to eat anything.
