Sifang Pavilion, main hall.

Taohua stood behind Marquis Pei, quietly sizing up the luxuriously dressed girl.

She is young, about sixteen or seventeen years old, slender, with light makeup. Perhaps it is the characteristics of the soil and water in the south. Her skin is very fair, her face has gradually grown, and her facial features are very beautiful, especially those clean and clear eyes.

The eyes, looking forward, are charming.

Taohua secretly compared her. She found that this girl was not as good-looking as Miss Gu, and she was inferior to Sister Lin. She couldn't compare with Sister Ye's temperament. She couldn't help but feel relieved.

Xu Churong didn't know that the little maid opposite was judging her. The two maids standing behind her lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, not daring to look at Pei Yue at all.

Pei Yue asked straight to the point: "Is Miss Xu here today to investigate?"

Xu Churong said calmly: "Asking for guilt? What crime does Marquis Zhongshan have?"

Pei Yue did not lie to Sheng Duanming. He and Xu Churong did only meet once, and they did not leave a deep impression at the time. One was because Xu Churong was wearing men's clothes that time.

Those beauties

People have already raised his standards of beauty, so he will not forget about a girl when he sees it. Pei Yue can always understand the two on some principled issues. If Lin Shuyue had not been murdered and lived in Lingzhou, he would not

will relate to her.

When he saw Xu Churong today, he was slightly stunned when he was wearing a green dress, but that was all.

Seeing that she was deliberately making a peaceful gesture at this time, Pei Yue said calmly: "Back in Daliang Jingdu, a group of ignorant young people made Miss Xu a little embarrassed. I thought you would hold a grudge. Now I'm here with you.

Territory, I naturally thought that you were here to settle accounts today, but I didn’t expect that I had misunderstood the girl.”

Xu Churong originally made up her mind to keep calm, but Pei Yue's words almost made her lose her power.

Looking at the young man opposite with a faint smile, she tried to keep calm and said slowly: "Zhongshan Hou, do you think there was nothing wrong with your handling at that time? I went to Qinyuan with my guards and there was nothing wrong with it.

What you did was a provocation by your powerful sons of Beiliang, and my guards were just forced to deal with it. As a result, you downplayed the big issue and made it trivial. Have you ever respected the Zhou envoy?"

Pei Yue smiled and said calmly: "Five days ago, a group of young people from your country clamored outside the mission for more than half an hour. From the beginning to the end, no one stood up to stop them."

Xu Churong was immediately speechless.

She suddenly remembered the negotiation that her uncle Xu Ziping couldn't let go of. She had only listened to other people's descriptions before, and had not had a deep understanding of Pei Yue's sharp words. Today, she realized how powerful the other party was when they met face to face.

Pei Yue accepted the suggestion and said leisurely: "Miss Xu, I don't know your identity as you are here today, and I don't want to waste time guessing your purpose. If you want to argue with me, I don't think you have the eloquence.

Of course, there is no need to take action. If you want to relay something for my father, I suggest that we keep the story short."

Even though the two maids did not dare to look at Pei Yue out of etiquette, they could not help but feel angry for their own lady at this moment.

The most beloved jewel in the palm of the dignified Chief Assistant, the sweet girl of heaven who almost no one dares to mess with in the entire Jian'an City. When has she ever encountered such a contemptuous attitude?

Xu Churong said coldly: "Don't think that I don't know what you want to do."

Pei Yue said curiously: "Please give me some advice, Miss Xu."

Xu Churong calmed down and said calmly: "Actually, you don't care at all whether the marriage can be successful, because as long as the Emperor of Beiliang has not passed away, no one will hurt your life. What you want to do most is to provoke

The civil strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty caused them to kill each other and take care of themselves, the court fell apart, and everyone in the army had different intentions."

Pei Yue said calmly: "That's it."

Xu Churong snorted lightly and continued: "Whether you are really injured or faked, this incident will definitely cause very serious consequences, which will further intensify the differences within the imperial court."

"Why?"

"I don't know the origin of that assassin, but I think he is definitely not an ordinary person. Not only that, but those powerful disciples who took the initiative to come to you for discussion will also be in trouble. If the court pursues them, many people will be punished.

, after all, you are seriously injured, although I don’t think you are in danger at all now.”

Pei Yue applauded gently and praised: "Miss Xu has a bright heart and is indeed very smart."

Xu Churong suddenly smiled softly and said frankly: "There was a fierce quarrel in the court a few days ago. Those ministers whose children were involved are definitely not willing to punish them severely, but some others hope that the matter can be settled and settled as soon as possible, so that

The marriage can proceed smoothly. As you wish, a turbulent Zhou Dynasty will almost appear."

Pei Yue heard some proud emotions from her mouth.

What he used this time was a conspiracy. He took advantage of the opportunity when those dandy boys came to provoke him, and used his injury to create a problem for Nanzhou. As the girl in front of him said, he must either severely punish those who caused trouble and give him an explanation, or

Just bear the consequences of the immediate breakdown of the newly repaired relationship between the two countries.

But judging from the words used by Xu Churong, the other party has obviously found a solution.

Xu Churong said easily: "The status of Marquis Zhongshan is valuable. Of course, our court will not treat it casually. It must be treated seriously. What is the identity and background of the assassin? Is there a mastermind behind him? Are those powerful children ordered to come to you?"

These matters must be investigated thoroughly, and the case must not be closed casually. Even if the investigation takes a year and a half, the adults will definitely continue to investigate."

Pei Yue has realized that it is a procrastination tactic.

But he had to admit that this was the only correct way for Nanfang to successfully solve this problem.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Xu Churong with interest and asked: "Is this the method you came up with?"

Xu Churong had been staring at Pei Yue intently because she wanted to see the look of surprise and frustration on his face. However, Pei Yue was calm from beginning to end, which made her a little disappointed.

Is this person really heartless?

She calmed down and said with a smile: "When I was in Kyoto, Beiliang, I heard some gossip. For example, the Marquis of Zhongshan has a deep love for two wives who have never met each other. For example, you will get married to them at the end of this year. So I

I was just thinking that you don’t want to spend too much time here.”

Pei Yue could hear that she emphasized the words "two people" and "them" very hard.

He didn't pay attention to these details and said calmly: "Although Miss Xu is very young, she is indeed smarter than I thought. When you go back, tell Mr. Xu that I will not hold those playboys accountable, but the assassin must

Mingzheng canon punishment."

Xu Churong was slightly startled. Today she volunteered to solve this problem for her father, but she actually didn't have much confidence in her heart.

However, Pei Yue agreed so cooperatively that she immediately felt unreal.

Pei Yue stood up and said calmly: "Miss Xu, you won a round today. You must have relieved yourself a little. The rift between you and me is over. Please come back."

"Wait." Xu Churong said hurriedly.

Pei Yue looked at her puzzled.

Xu Churong relaxed his breathing, stood up and said: "Since the Marquis of Zhongshan does not need to continue to recover from his injuries, I wonder if you have the courage to attend the Donglin Cultural Conference in five days?"

Pei Yue once again gave her an unexpected answer: "Okay."

Simple and sure.

Xu Churong had countless doubts at this moment, and even suspected that he had heard wrongly.

The rhetoric she had prepared when she came became useless, and at this moment, she felt that Pei Yue had already guessed the purpose of her visit. Looking back on today's conversation, she suddenly felt suppressed. It was obviously her own idea of ​​the solution to the problem.

He had to step back.

This feeling made her slightly depressed.

However, Pei Yue did not continue the conversation and said simply: "Come, let's see you off."

Xu Churong looked at him deeply, turned around and left.
