Chapter 140

Xiao Yexuan glanced at Pei Jing with a half-smile, and said slowly: "Actually, this Pei Jing and I have known each other before, don't you think so?"

Pei Jing cursed secretly in his heart, but he put on a serious face and said: "His Royal Highness is of great status, and a villain is just a humble man, how can he have such a fortune to know His Royal Highness?"

Xiao Yexuan glanced at him lightly, smiled playfully, didn't say anything, and only said to Zhang Jian: "Just let him stay by your side, and practice hard for a few years. If he is promising, you will be honored too, won't you?"

Hearing His Highness the Crown Prince's words, Zhang Jian felt more confident.Although Pei Jing denied acquaintance with the crown prince, the meaning behind the crown prince's words was that he had some kind of friendship with Pei Jing. As for why Pei Jing denied it, Zhang Jian automatically attributed his meaning to humility, and he was more determined. The idea is to promote Yu Pei Jing well.

But this matter should not only be done satisfactorily, but also be done quietly.

He winked at Cao Dacheng. Cao Dacheng was also a man who had been in the officialdom for more than ten years and became a fine man. He naturally understood what he meant, and he and Zhang Jian agreed to this matter with all their mouths.

Xiao Yexuan stood up, patted Pei Jing on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "You haven't been home since you entered the barracks, have you?"

Pei Jing thought of his wife and parents at home, and felt a little sour in his heart, and nodded slowly. The city has been famine for so long, and I don't know if they are still safe.

Xiao Yexuan sighed slightly, and said: "Go back to the camp first and arrange the things at hand, and then go home and have a look tomorrow, and it will be your reward for this meritorious service."

Pei Jing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "How long can you go back?"

Xiao Yexuan was amused by him: "Do you think this is a big vacation? How many days? If other people go home before the battle, I'm afraid they will be dragged out and beheaded."

Pei Jing secretly rolled his eyes, and muttered: "Then this reward is too watery."

Xiao Yexuan whispered in his ear, grinding his teeth: "You are the first one who dares to bargain in front of me."

Pei Jing chuckled, and lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you say that we were old acquaintances? Be flexible and give me two more days."

Xiao Yexuan gave Pei Jing a blank look, turned around and sat down in front of the seat, and said loudly: "Forget it, for the sake of your contribution this time, I will give you two days off, and you can go back and tidy up before going home."

Pei Jing was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!"

Xiao Yexuan scolded with a smile: "Okay, let's go down."

After Pei Jing withdrew, Cao Dacheng saw that the attitudes of these two people were indeed ambiguous, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know the relationship between His Royal Highness and this Pei Jing. Do you need to take care of me more?"

Xiao Yexuan glanced at him lightly, and Cao Dacheng broke out in a cold sweat for no reason.

But I heard the high-ranking prince said in a low voice: "No need, he can earn as much future as he has. You don't have to give him too much preferential treatment, as long as he doesn't die."

Cao Dacheng and Zhang Jian hurriedly agreed.

Xiao Yexuan suddenly asked: "Which battalion is Pei Jing in now?"

Zhang Jian felt a sudden shock in his heart, but he dared not report it, so he could only say, "In the first battalion."

Xiao Yexuan frowned: "Pioneer Camp?"

Zhang Jian said: "Yes."

Xiao Yexuan was a little puzzled: "He is a new recruit, how could he be assigned to the first battalion? Could it be that you are all using recruits as cannon fodder?"

In fact, there is a rule in the army that recruits are not allowed to fill in the forward battalion. After all, recruits have just joined the army and lack practical training. After joining the forward battalion, they will only die. Therefore, the forward battalion is generally composed of veterans. Unless there are special circumstances, new recruits will join the forward battalion. camp.

Zhang Jian said with a bitter face: "Returning to Your Highness, Pei Jing was originally assigned to the third battalion, but..."

Xiao Yexuan frowned and said displeasedly: "But what?"

Zhang Jian had no choice but to say: "Prince Xiang also transferred Pei Jing's files back then, and at that time he made the decision to transfer everyone from the third battalion to the first battalion, so...so..."

Xiao Yexuan raised his lips, with a look of understanding and joking on his face, and said in a low voice: "The third thing is a little out of character."

He snorted a few times before saying: "That's it, I'm up to it, let Pei Jing practice with you for a while, don't give him a high position, follow the rules step by step, and you don't have to worry about the rest. If Prince Xiang asks again, you just say I meant it. Alright, I’ll go to the barracks and look around, so there’s no need to send it off.”

After all, Shi Shi ran out of the government office.

There was a thin layer of cold sweat on Zhang Jian's forehead, and he hurriedly bowed to see him off, and looked at Cao Dacheng in a blink of an eye, also with a look of surprise.

It turned out that Prince Xiang really wanted to kill Pei Jing.

It was Pei Jing's great fortune to allow His Highness the Crown Prince to protect him personally.

Although the requirements of the two Highnesses are different, the prince is still a head taller after all, so Zhang Jian and Cao Dacheng naturally chose to listen to Xiao Yexuan, and decided to give Pei Jing a good mention.

But he said that when Pei Jing returned to the barracks, he first settled down his subordinates, and then brought people back to bring the rice and food back. By the time this was done, it would be too late.

Although dinner was already served in the barracks, Pei Jing wanted to eat home food more, so he asked the battalion commander for leave and walked home.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and Pei Jing was in a happy and excited mood along the way, thinking that after returning home, his parents and Miaoer saw him alive and became a centurion, I am afraid that he would definitely be happy for him. Happy and proud of myself.

After returning to the door of the house familiarly, Pei Jing suddenly felt so excited that his hands and feet trembled.

The light from the inner room could be seen through the crack of the door, Pei Jing took a deep breath, Mom and Dad, Miaoer, I'm back.

He knocked hard on the door and heard his wife Chen Miao's voice: "Who is it?"

Pei Jing pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer, but knocked harder on the door. He thought in his heart that when Miao Er came to open the door, he must give her the strongest and warmest hug, and then told her loudly: I came back!
The sound of small footsteps gradually came, and the smile on Pei Jing's face grew more and more, and then there was the sound of opening the door, and then a woman opened the door.

Pei Jing took a step forward, hugged the woman tightly in his arms, and said loudly, "Miao Er, I'm back! I'm back alive!"

The woman in her arms was stunned for a while, she didn't know whether she was startled or frightened, she suddenly struggled violently, Pei Jing was almost pushed back by her unexpectedly.

Pei Jing was stunned and hadn't realized what was going on, but saw the woman hide her face and escape into the room.

The second monk Pei Jingzhang couldn't figure it out, turned around and closed the door, so surprised that he had to walk in slowly.

Just entering the hall, I heard Chen Miao asking: "Fu Pei, what's wrong? Who is it?"

Chen Miao suddenly turned her head and saw Pei Jing.
