Nagato has a thin waist

While Feng Yun was playing chess with Wen Xingsu and talking, Pei Ran had already returned to the camp.

He sat at the head of the table, looked at Zuo Zhong and said.

"Well done today by the river."

Zuo Zhong raised his hand and said, "It all depends on the cultivation of the general."

He was not a person who was good at flattering, so Pei Madang frowned uncomfortably and said nothing more. He just opened the imperial edict on the desk and took a look at it.

"Has Mr. Chang, who delivered the decree, settled down?"

Zuo Zhong said: "In the post house."

Pei Madang leaned back and narrowed his eyes as if thinking for a moment.

"Served with good wine and delicious food."

Zuo Zhong's eyelids moved slightly, looking at the cold and solemn expression on Pei Ran's face.

"My subordinate understands."

-

When Feng Yun woke up the next day, he heard the discussion in the house. The father-in-law who came from Zhongjing to deliver the edict had gone to Huatang Qiuyue Tower to have a drink last night and played around with his little girl all night. He came out drunk at dawn and accidentally He fell into the Huai River and drowned.

The Autumn Moon in the Painting Hall is on the edge of the Huaihe River.

This fall can be said to be a perfect fall.

The eunuch went to the Flower House and fell to his death. The news spread quickly.

Xiaoman and Daman said, their eyes full of contempt.

Feng Yun's eyes were dark and he said with a smile: "The eunuch is also a man, and it is normal to be lustful."

After saying that, he shook his head and laughed again.

Xiaoman asked: "Girl, why are you so happy?"

"Is there any?" Feng Yun touched his face.

"Yes." Xiaoman nodded heavily.

Feng Yun looked at her, his face full of warmth, "The tree I planted has grown again."

The two maids didn't understand what she said and looked at her in confusion. Xiaoman even stepped forward to explore her forehead and touched his own.

"No fever."

Feng Yun rolled his eyes at her and clapped his claws away.

"Go, pack up and prepare to return to Andu."

The illness was almost healed. She missed Ao Zai and Nagato. It was not a problem to stay in Xinzhou all day long. Moreover, her current relationship with Pei Madang was quite awkward.

Saying a couple is not a real couple.

She said they were not husband and wife, but outsiders still called her madam.

She had been recovering from illness for the past few days, and it was hard for Pei Ran to say anything. Now that she could eat, sleep, and run, Pei Madang also sent a message asking her to go back to Andu, so she should consciously go away and not make people look bad.

Pei Madang performed well this time, just think of it as her sincerity...

When Xiaoman heard that he was going back to Andu, he immediately cheered and went down to pack his things.

Daman hesitated, watching her hesitate to speak.

Feng Yun: "Just say what you want to say?"

Daman wanted to say that the girl should not leave the general at this time, but when the words came to her lips, she thought of the girl's temper again, and knew that there was no use in saying it, so she lowered her eyes and shook her head.

"The maid has nothing to say."

Feng Yun guessed what she was thinking and raised his eyebrows.

"Then go down and clean up."

Daman said: "Here."

-

The whole day, Feng Yun was immersed in joy, because those seeds of doubt were growing vigorously.

Of course she didn't believe that the father-in-law who came to announce the decree would slip and fall into the river.

It must be Pei Mang's hand.

And before he died, Pei Ran must have gotten the answer he wanted from him. As for whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied, she had no way of guessing, but Pei Ran did this to give Zhongjing power.

Pei Madang wants Zhongjing to know——

When the general is out, military orders are not obeyed.

It is he who has the final say when to return to Beijing to resign and whether to negotiate peace with Qi, not the three-year-old child on the throne.

Pei Madang's ambition finally grew.

If he wants greater power, it will inevitably shake the foundation of the Li family and his daughter.

How could there be no contradiction?

If there is no contradiction, she will create it.

Pei Madang and Li Sangruo will never get better in this life.

If Li Sang wants to blame, then blame her greedy father. He became the father of the country, became the prime minister, his grandson sat on the throne, and his daughter took the throne, but he was still not satisfied with holding great power. He also wanted to form cliques for personal gain and exclude dissidents...

Then there's a price to pay.

Feng Yun was looking forward to the day when his eldest brother would no longer have to hold back and say "the court of the Jin Dynasty", and he was also looking forward to seeing Li Sangruo crying bitterly after completely losing Pei Man.

Feng Yun was in a subtle mood. He took two jars of wine from his elder brother's wine cellar and asked Xiao Man to send one jar to Puyang Jiu to thank him for his kindness. He put the other jar away to reward Pei Man when he came.

By the way, I made an excuse to stay and wait for the peace negotiation.

Unexpectedly, Pei Ran came very quickly.

At dusk that day, before nightfall, we arrived at the Chunyu Pavilion.

As if he were returning to his own home, he took off his cloak and walked in. He saw Feng Yun sitting by the charcoal stove, grilling dried fish with tongs, and naturally sat down and poured tea.

Feng Yun saluted him.

"I'm going back to Andu tomorrow."

Pei Ran hummed and glanced over. Without saying anything, he picked up the dried fish she had baked and ate it with relish.

Feng Yun looked at him and his eyes turned cold.

Are you just looking forward to her leaving?

The two of them remained silent.

After eating the second small fish, Pei Madang's mood improved significantly.

He rolled up his sleeves and said expressionlessly: "The person who frightened the horse at Qijingpo that day has been found out."

Feng Yun became interested, "Who ordered it?"

Pei Madang said solemnly: "People from the Chenghe Army."

This answer was not surprising, but it did not satisfy Feng Yun.

"It's strange to say that even though Deng Guang is dead, there are still people loyal to him. While the general is still alive, there are still people who dare to betray him. Should the general take a look at himself?"

What she actually wanted to say was that the person who frightened the horse was not loyal to Deng Guang at all, but to someone else.

After saying that, he saw Pei Ran's face darken and then he came to his senses.

Being betrayed is a painful thing, so Pei Ran is not very friendly. So, she brought the jar of fine wine that had been prepared a long time ago, warmed it on the stove, and said with a smile:

"General, don't take your words seriously."

Pei Ran nodded calmly.

He didn't seem to take it seriously, but he didn't pick up on her subtext either.

Feng Yun was right. He sat alone and poured a glass of wine, but Pei Ran took it over.

"The imperial court wants to negotiate peace with Qi. What do you think?"

Feng Yun didn't expect that he would ask him.

Doesn't he dislike her intervening in such a big matter?

Feng Yun thought for a while, "A fight or a peace is commonplace and not uncommon. This war between the north and the south lasted for more than a year. The Jin army had the upper hand. When it comes to the negotiation table, it must be the dominant side... …”

Pei Madang raised his eyelids slightly and asked, "Mother Yun agrees to the peace talks?"

Feng Yun smiled and said: "It depends on the sincerity."

Then he wiped his hands clean, grilled the dried fish slowly, and said: "It would be good if the Qi army could cede the five towns of Andu Wanning and Xinzhou to the Jin State and pay tribute year after year. If they refuse, it will be nothing. It’s negotiable. If it continues, Xiao Cheng won’t be able to take advantage.”

Pei Ran: "What if Xiao Cheng refuses to agree?"

The last time Yan Buxi came to Bingzhou to discuss peace, he made it very clear that Xiao Cheng's condition was that Feng Yun must go back.

This is the biggest obstacle to peace talks.

Feng Yun smiled, "General, don't forget, we still have Xiao Rong on our hands."

Pei Ran looked at her quietly and said nothing.

Feng Yun said: "Recuperation and recuperation are what the people want. It is not an option to continue fighting blindly, wasting people and damaging money. At this time, as long as Qi can afford a truce, it is a good thing to negotiate. Of course, the most important thing is that the court is definitely leaning towards peace. , lock in the victory first, and take the Five Towns of Andu and Xinzhou into your pocket."

Pei Ran hummed.

Feng Yun smiled and observed his expression.

"The imperial court wants peace, and the generals must make peace even if they don't."

Pei Madang lowered his eyes and drank silently without speaking.

Feng Yun curled his lips and didn't say much. He just poured wine for him and grilled dried fish.

The crispy dried fish leaves a fragrant bite on your lips and teeth.

Feng Yun stared at him and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Pei Ran looked back, raised his sleeves and tilted his neck to drink. The Adam's apple exposed on his slender neck was bulging, and he could see the feeling of swallowing. Feng Yun narrowed his eyes, feeling suddenly a little restless.

It’s already this hour.

Why hasn't Pei Ran left yet?

He doesn't seem ready to leave?

Is he going to stay over tonight?

Feng Yun asked tentatively: "General, why don't you say anything?"

Pei Ran put down his wine cup and said, "You are right."

Feng Yun:......

She said nothing, just stared at him with her eyes.

"Then I'll go first." Pei Madang finally stood up slowly. He took just two steps when he suddenly put his hand on his forehead, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sat back.

"This wine is very drunk."

Feng Yun:......

She didn't know how much Pei Ran drank.

Because there is no memory of Pei Madang being drunk, in my imagination, General Pei should be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Why did the dried fish and osmanthus yellow knock him down?

"I can't drink enough, please tell me."

Feng Yun helped him lie down on the couch, reached out and shook the wine jar.

Most of the jar of wine went into his belly.

No wonder I'm drunk...

Pei Madang: If the wine is not intoxicating, everyone will get drunk.

Xiao Cheng: The wolf's ambition is clearly a drunkard's intention and not the wine...

Chunyu Yan: Marry my son Sui Yu, and I will take care of him.

Ao Qi: Where is my sword? I'm the only one worthy of robbing my uncle and I. The rest of them can kill one by one.

Feng Yun:......
