Chapter 1000 1001 [Looking back suddenly]

Before leaving Kyoto, Chen Xizhi met with Shen Moyun's confidants twice, without Shen Danmo's knowledge. After traveling to northern Xinjiang, she received messages from Shen Moyun twice through Aunt Chen, and the person speaking was none other than Shen Danmo. A big thing planned in secret.

These contacts were extremely secretive. Pei Yue was still in the southern border a year ago and has hardly been idle since returning to Beijing. In addition, in the past two years, Chen Xizhi seemed to have completely given up the idea of ​​revenge and behaved without any threat. Logically speaking, he no longer has to act like I was so wary at first.

Looking at Chen Xizhi's rare stunned expression, Pei Yue said calmly: "You know the existence of Xu Churong, you know my layout in the five southern states, and you know the changes in power in the Southern Zhou Dynasty. These are nothing more. I have the right to treat you as your You are gifted, and you can peel off cocoons from some inconspicuous news to find the truth of the matter. But you even know the cause and situation of the recent war in northern Xinjiang clearly, and you even know the marching speed of the Tibetan Front Guards. It is difficult for me to turn a blind eye. ."

The tight string in Chen Xizhi's heart suddenly relaxed, and he smiled and said: "Master Shen wants to win my trust, so he will naturally have to pay some price."

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "I don't know what he wants to do, and I don't know what he wants you to do, but I'm sure he won't tell you all the information. Don't fool me by saying that Xu Mo betrayed you. Not only is it an insult to my confidants, it is also an insult to your own IQ."

Chen Xizhi raised his hand and pinched a strand of green hair hanging by his ear, and said slowly: "If you don't kill me, it will be difficult to completely turn me into a deaf and blind person. Unless you let Ye Qiinchun follow me, but... you Are you willing to let her go?"

Pei Yue smiled and said nonchalantly: "You must be honest."

Chen Xizhi looked slightly puzzled and asked, "You don't care?"

Pei Yue said bluntly: "Everyone has his or her own trump card, and it is common sense that a cunning rabbit has three holes. In fact, I have thought about one thing a long time ago. Will an extremely proud woman like you calmly accept the existence of an ignoble existence? The ending? I thought about it carefully, and the answer should be no. Martial arts have been abolished, family wealth has been dispersed, subordinates have left, and even freedom has become a luxury. You can still accept my confinement calmly. This is obviously not in line with common sense. "

"Bah, don't say it so harshly. What is confinement? I just don't want Ye Qi to be sad."

Chen Xizhi seemed to have cultivated to the point of being invulnerable to all poisons, but now a man and a woman were alone in the same room, and the relationship between the two was so complicated that it was difficult to define. It was the first time they sat down to communicate calmly, so Pei Yue's words made her feel A little awkward.

However, a few moments later, Chen Xizhi suddenly raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Are you setting a trap for me?"

Pei Yue smiled and said: "What do you mean by this? I didn't kill all your people. You should be grateful to me instead of questioning me very rudely like now."

Chen Xizhi snorted coldly and said: "Don't think that I don't know what you are hiding. You deliberately left a gap for me, and even generously asked Nongyu and Mrs. Chen to accompany me. You just hope that I will take the initiative. Ye Qi has no reason to persist, so you can justifiably kill me."

Pei Yue did not deny it, but said with emotion: "You are a very smart woman."

Chen Xizhi sneered: "I don't need your false praise."

"This is true."

Pei Yue stared into her eyes, and then said sincerely: "Whether you are in Kyoto or here, you have not crossed the line. You are just getting news from the outside world. This is within the scope of what I can tolerate. In short, you cannot use this reason to kill

You. You just offered to help me contact Fang Xie Xiao. It can be seen that you have changed in the past two years. You would never lower your head to make a deal with me before."

The last words seemed to hit Chen Xizhi hard in the heart.

She turned her head half-heartedly and said softly: "Maybe."

Pei Yue slowed down and said: "You should know that whether Fang Xiexiao chooses to join forces is not an irresistible temptation for me. If you are willing to help me lead this line, I can make some concessions, but I cannot agree.

You are asking too much."

Chen Xizhi nodded and suddenly changed the topic: "Don't you want to know the secret between Shen Moyun and me?"

Pei Yue thought for a long time and finally shook his head.

Chen Xizhi asked again: "Really?"

Pei Yue exhaled a breath and said slowly: "I don't want to know too many secrets, because living like that is too tiring."

"But I think you seem to like this kind of burden." Chen Xizhi said in an erratic tone, and then got to the point: "I can help you contact Fang Xie Xiao, I can also hand over the remaining manpower, and I can also bring my mother to Nan."

I’ll give you the affection Zhou left behind, but I don’t guarantee that those people will miss the friendship.”

Pei Yue responded softly.

Chen Xizhi continued: "Aunt Chen only knows that Silent Cloud sent someone to look for me, and it has nothing to do with anything else. I hope you can let her return to Kyoto safely. Nongyu is my maid in name, but now she is no different from my sister.

, regardless of whether that bastard Xu Mo can watch it or not.

If I fall in love with her, I want her to have a good ending. The few million taels of silver left by the Chen family are my dowry for Ye Qi, so please prepare a decent dowry for Nongyu. If Xu

If you don't want to marry her silently, then please find a good husband for her."

Pei Yue nodded and said, "I promise you."

Chen Xizhi forced a smile and said: "Since you don't want to know what Shen Moyun and I are planning, then I won't tell you. From this perspective, you are indeed more powerful than me. Pei Yue, I don't ask you to do it for me.

What, you just hope to exchange those conditions for me to leave."

Leave.

The literal meaning is to leave Pei Yue's side, but there is another deeper meaning.

Pei Yue did not give an answer immediately. He tilted his head slightly and thought about it. After a long time, he asked in confusion: "Why?"

Chen Xizhi knew what he was asking.

She chose to hand over all her cards in exchange for a free body. Obviously she didn't want to find a strange place to live. Pei Yue was not surprised that she would persist in her obsession with revenge, but he didn't understand why she changed her mind.

The previous style actually led her to embark on the road of recklessness that she disdained most in the past.

Chen Xizhi looked at Pei Yue calmly and said: "I lost my parents when I was eight years old, and then I ran away in the world for several years. I suffered a lot and saw many dead people, especially when I watched Ning Rou'er die for me.

Death, from that time on I knew I could not live for myself. When I was thirteen, I entered Hengduan Mountain and met Ye Qi there. She was my junior sister and my only friend and confidant in this life, but she did not agree with my methods.

Finally parted ways with me."

"In the past two years, I have often wondered, did I really do something wrong? Maybe, maybe I shouldn't have done that, but if I could turn back time and do it again, I would still do it because I had no other choice. Don't kill

Those people, the Beijing army will not be exhausted, and Wang Pingzhang will not come forward to take charge of the overall situation. Then even if I destroy the imperial mausoleum, Liu Zheng will not take action against Wang Pingzhang. Of course, because of your appearance, I still failed in the end."

"Later, when we were in the Western Region, I once told Wang Liyang that the people who plotted the situation were most worried about spoilers like you. Sure enough, I didn't kill you, and there was no chaos in Lingzhou. Uncle Lu Min was even more worried because of this.

Lost my life. It can be said that everything I have done has been destroyed by your hands. The strange thing is that when I think about it carefully in the past two years, I don’t hate you."

Chen Xizhi spoke eloquently, with a relaxed expression on his face, seeming to be relieved.

Pei Yue sighed softly and repeated his previous words: "The way is different."

Chen Xizhi nodded slightly, and then said: "Do you still remember what I said in front of the Chenghuang Temple in Xingyang? It would be great if I could get to know you earlier."

Pei Yue hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Actually, even if you knew me early, you might not be able to change the direction of things, because even Ye Qi has not changed -"

Chen Xizhi immediately cut off his words and said gently: "Let me finish. If I had known you earlier, maybe I would have chosen a completely different path. You mentioned Fang Xun just now. I am not related to him, and I even hate him.

I hate this kind of so-called Qingliu who invites people to buy their names.

Civil servant, although I didn't witness it with my own eyes last night, I know how brutal the fighting was on the city wall. Whether it was Fang Xun, Xu Mo, or even those brave soldiers and idle masters who had no battle experience, they had been working hard. This is

For what?"

Pei Yue replied: "Because once the city is broken, the barbarians will massacre the city, and the people in the city will die and be injured countless times."

Chen Xizhi smiled lightly and said calmly: "I know you appreciate people like Fang Xun and Xu Mo very much, and you will definitely not sit back and watch me act like before. In this case, I won't be in trouble if you let me go.

Isn’t it the best of both worlds to seek revenge in other ways?”

Pei Yue wanted to say something, but when it came to his mouth, he felt that it made no sense, so he stood up and said: "I will let a few trustworthy experts protect you and leave, but before that, I hope you can stay for a few days and teach me."

Teach Xu Mo some of the most important rules of conduct."

Chen Xizhi rolled his eyes at him and said casually: "I don't know what Ye Qi likes about you. Mother-in-law and mother-in-law have no masculinity. Okay, I will do as you wish. As for how many skills he can learn, it all depends on him."

Comprehension, I will also prepare the things I promised you in the next few days. Pei Yue, I hope you will not capsize in the gutter and fall into the barbarian's scheme. I don't want to see my junior sister become a widow."

Pei Yue held the tea cup in front of him, drank the cold tea in one gulp, and then gently placed the tea cup on the table.

He didn't express his gratitude in a pretentious way, nor did he warn the other party like before. He just said two words slowly: "Goodbye."

Chen Xizhi watched him leave in silence, and after a long time he whispered to himself: "Goodbye."

The past events are vivid in my mind.

Hostility, calculations, and fighting, from the beginning to now, the two people seem to have always met in blood. A long and calm conversation like tonight is both the first and the last time.

It's like two lines running in opposite directions, crossing each other and never intersecting.

Chen Xizhi picked up the teapot and filled himself a cup of tea. The warm tea flowed from his red and thin lips.

Suddenly I felt that the tea was a little bitter, and the bitter taste spread from the tip of my tongue to my heart.

She couldn't help frowning, then walked slowly to the window and softly hummed the waterside tune that her mother had sung to coax her to sleep.

"It hurts to see the willow spring on the roadside, one layer is broken and the other is broken.

This year I will return to my previous place, and I will not send you away from others last year.”

…

The tune is melodious and melodious, tainted by the slightly cold wind in northern Xinjiang, adding a sense of wistfulness.

She stared dreamily at the lonely night outside, with a relieved and decisive smile on her face.
