438 Festival Dapeng Spreads Its Wings
When Xiao Buyi heard that Xiao Dapeng had news, he was shocked. He did not expect Pei Mingcui to come here from afar, just for Xiao Dapeng.
Xiao Buyi really didn't know how to deal with Xiao Dapeng. I don't know where this father, who is not his relative, is better than his relative, is now?
Xiao Buyi is actually an understanding person. No matter what the other party does, he at least adopts a respectful attitude, even to Xiao Dapeng.
He knew the feeling of liking someone, and he knew the feeling of liking someone who could not meet someone. Xiao Dapeng's attitude towards Queen Xiao and Queen Xiao's attitude towards Yang Guang may not be able to understand, but Xiao Buyi deeply understood it. When Yang Guang died, the saddest thing was not the son of his minister, but the Empress Xiao who had been with him for decades. Xiao Buyi understood it, so Xiao Dapeng asked him to deal with it himself, but he never thought that Xiao Dapeng suddenly evaporated without a trace, and even if he tried his best, he could not find it.
When he heard Pei Mingcui say something about Xiao Dapeng, Xiao Buyi couldn't help asking, "Where is my father...?"
Zhang Zhenzhou said, "The old minister has his own affairs, so I will take his leave first." Zhang Zhenzhou is an old minister, and of course he knows that he does not need to participate in many things. As a minister, the most important thing is to keep his duties.
Zhang Zhenzhou retreated, but Xu Shiji still sat in the same place. He wanted to leave for a while and hesitated. Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Shiji stay."
Pei Mingcui drank tea, but her eyes fell on the map on the table and smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, are you going to attack Xu Yuanlang?"
Xiao Buyi cannot help but admire Pei Mingcui's intelligence. The focus on the map is Langya and Dongping. Pei Mingcui can see through his intentions at a glance and is quite insightful.
In fact, Xiao Buyi understood that Pei Mingcui was a talented person and did not let others know anything, but she was just not thinking about it.
"I have this plan, but I haven't taken action yet." Xiao Buyi said.
Pei Mingcui stopped discussing Xu Yuanlang's affairs and said straight: "Bi'er came to Jiangdu and once looked for me."
"She said you had done your best, but your father disappeared too suddenly." Xiao Buyi said gratefully: "I didn't expect Miss Pei to have never forgotten these days."
"Don't rush to thank me for it." Pei Mingcui said: "I just discovered where Ling Zundi was. But I don't know where he has gone now."
Xu Shiji couldn't help asking, "Where did you find whereabouts?"
Pei Mingcui smiled lonelyly. "Brother Xiao, your father is not simple."
Xiao Buyi said after a while: "What a simple way?"
"How can you describe it simply by letting my father, I, come to Hu'er and the King of Xiliang? Pei Mingcui said lightly, and Xiao Buyi fell silent.
Pei Mingcui revealed the mystery in one sentence. Xiao Buyi actually had the same feeling. He also felt that this father was not simple. At least his father was a bandit and was a good match. Even his son could not find any flaws. After Xiao Buyi reached this era, he always thought that this father was just a bandit's father, but after a while, he found that he was a deserter. The highest position of the deserter was just a side general. The deserter said that he could not bear Yang Guang's three campaigns to Liaodong. He became a bandit. But soon, Xiao Buyi discovered that this father was a descendant of Xiliang, and could actually have something to do with Empress Xiao, and was quite guilty of Empress Xiao. In Xiao Buyi's eyes, this father was a passionate old man in Xiliang.
Men, not all men have to do great things. Xiao Dapeng just wants to accompany Queen Xiao for the rest of his life. This makes people sympathize and understand Xiao Buyi. I thought Xiao Dapeng’s identity was clear at this point, but I didn’t expect that after joining the grassland, I found out that this father had had an relationship with the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which surprised Xiao Buyi. And he remembered that Xiao Dapeng asked him about Li Yuan on the dragon boat! How could Xiao Dapeng know Li Yuan? But he could still resist asking because he respected this father and knew that this father was reasonable and would not do anything to his son. But when he finally wanted to ask, he found that this father didn’t know where to go.
How can a person who can make Pei Mingcui sigh describe him as a deserter?
He never understood because he was not Xiao Dapeng's son, but even Xiao Dapeng's son, did he understand everything about his father?
"The Emperor committed suicide at the beginning..." Pei Mingcui said it very slowly, as if there was a deep meaning, "Although I was sad, I thought that Empress Xiao and Ling Zun were in danger. So before Bei'er came to find me, I sent someone to see Empress Xiao. After all, Empress Xiao treats me well. I never thought that although I went quickly, I could not find two people. So I thought that there were three forces who might interfere in this matter. Of course, one force was Brother Xiao. I knew that Brother Xiao might not be unified now, but the power was already distributed on both sides of the Yellow River, all over the country. But when Bei'er came to find me, I realized that Brother Xiao did not interfere, and Brother Xiao did not need to make any effort in such matters, so I thought that Queen Xiao's disappearance might be the result of the struggle between the two forces. Of course, these two forces are here to protect the Er and the family.
Xiao Buyi said: "I thought so at that time."
"But later I found out that I was wrong again. For the sake of Queen Xiao, I went to find my father in person and talked to him. I think... my father did not hijack Queen Xiao and Ling Zun."
"Ms. Pei said no, that's basically nothing." Xiao Buyi said without hesitation: "Ms. Pei really has no need to lie to me in such a thing."
The two looked at each other and smiled warmly. Xu Shiji saw it on the side and felt warm in his heart. The two people in front of him could be said to be an abnormality in the Great Sui Dynasty, and it was rare that they had a tacit understanding and were not hostile.
"At that time, I thought, if my father didn't take action, would it be Lai Hu'er the one who took action? But I thought it was impossible, because Empress Xiao was the biological mother of the prince Yang. Lai Hu'er supported Yang and was about to rely on Empress Xiao, how could she hide her? Although I thought so, I still looked in secret and found that Lai Hu'er was also anxiously searching everywhere. It's basically certain that he didn't know where Empress Xiao was, because he didn't need to be artificial in this matter. But this was a knot. I really don't understand who would care about Empress Xiao?" Seeing Xiao Buyi want to speak but stop, Pei Mingcui smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, of course, there is one person who cares about Empress Xiao, but this person has always been ignored by us."
Xiao Buyi smiled helplessly, "Yes, there is another person who cares about Queen Xiao, that is my father!"
"Yes," Pei Mingcui sighed: "This is indeed a misunderstanding, because Ling Zun is really humble. It makes people think that he is a victim. But no one noticed that he was staying with Empress Xiao, and he really wanted to protect Empress Xiao! Moreover, he also has the ability to protect Empress Xiao!"
Xiao Buyi raised his eyebrows, "What ability does he have?"
Pei Mingcui smiled sly, "Don't you, a son, know?"
Xiao Buyi shook his head. "Ms. Pei, I really don't know."
Pei Mingcui's eyes were staring at Xiao Buyi's eyes and sighed quietly, "I always thought that if you know the cause and effect, then Brother Xiao is really the most scheming person in the world, but now it seems that Brother Xiao is really unaware of it. So, Ling Zun has many things, and he has not told you at all. He has hidden you, and he may have had no choice but to have any difficulties. But Brother Xiao can develop to this day, probably Ling Zun cannot imagine, otherwise... Brother Xiao would not have been chased in a mess at the beginning."
She said it very meaningful, Xiao Buyi looked thoughtful, and Xu Shiji could only drink tea silently when he heard it was cloudy and foggy. He wanted to interrupt, but found that he had no idea what the two of them were saying!
"What are my father's difficulties?" Xiao Buyi asked.
Pei Mingcui smiled and said, "You don't know, how do I, an outsider, know? Actually, when I doubted Ling Zun, I went to the palace again. Since there was this doubt, it would be much easier to find doubts. From the clues, I came to a conclusion that Queen Xiao did not leave in a hurry, and Ling Zun did not leave in a hurry. The two of them left, obviously they had already prepared for it."
"But Queen Xiao..." Xiao Buyi wanted to speak but stopped.
"Empress Xiao is deeply in love with the emperor. It is logical that the emperor has just died. He will not leave so resolutely, but I think... Empress Xiao is also afraid that your father will be in danger, so she left the palace. Ling Zun stayed with Empress Xiao regardless of the danger. How could Empress Xiao let Ling Zun take risks? After all, if you really miss someone, you don't have to stay in front of the tomb all the time." When Pei Mingcui said this, she turned her head and looked out of the hall. The moment she turned her head, she found the corners of her eyes crystal clear.
Xiao Buyi stood up and poured a cup of tea for Pei Mingcui. Of course, he understood that Pei Mingcui was moved. The longing seemed not to dim with time, but it dripped like water dripping through a stone. The longer the time, the more obvious the marks were.
After she felt that Pei Mingcui's emotions calmed down, Xiao Buyi asked, "What about it later?"
"Of course I went to find it later." Pei Mingcui smiled when she turned around, "I was defeated repeatedly and I couldn't help but be dissatisfied..."
"Actually, Miss Pei is for Beier's request." Xiao Buyi said gratefully. It turned out that Pei Bei and Xue Buren arrived in Jiangdu and went to find Pei Mingcui. Pei Bei was anxious and of course she would ask Pei Mingcui. Suddenly, she thought of Xue Buren. He heard that he was still in Jiangdu, Xiao Buyi frowned. He didn't know what Xiao Dapeng was doing. Didn't Xue Buren, a brother since childhood, know that he had not known it?
"Don't think I am so great. I do things based on my likes and dislikes, and there is no friendship." Pei Mingcui said: "I am now focusing on two directions to find them, one way north and the other way west. What I thought at that time was that Ling Zun and Empress Xiao should go to find you. Now everyone in the Central Plains of Xiliang King knows you. Only after he finds you can he settle down."
Xiao Buyi shook his head, "He didn't look for me, and I have never seen him until now."
"Yes," Pei Mingcui sighed again, "I soon discovered that I was wrong again. Ling Zun obviously considered this and then went against the rules. He asked Lai Hu'er, and the people I brought with me to the public. He was the right way to find Brother Xiao, but no one would have thought that he would go east."
Xiao Buyi stood up suddenly, "Entering the sea to the east, where did he do what?"
Xu Shiji asked, "The failure to go back to Xiangyang and Dongdu does not mean that he has gone to the east, but also to the south. Besides, Miss Pei cannot find it, it does not mean that Uncle Xiao must have gone to another direction."
"Brother Xiao, please sit down and talk. General Xu, of course I still have a basis for it." Pei Mingcui said.
Xiao Buyi had no choice but to sit down. The fact of this father was so unexpected. Only people like Pei Mingcui could look for it tirelessly.
"I have never found Ling Zun's whereabouts. I realized that something might be wrong, so I sent more people from Xiangdong and Xiangnan. But I have obtained very little. In fact, I am already desperate. I found that Ling Zun is careful to do things, and he doesn't want people to find him. Then there are really not many people who can find him in this world."
Xiao Buyi drank the tea in his hand and murmured: "I told you why he insisted on staying with his aunt at the beginning. It turned out that... he had a plan."
"Yes, I have planned it long ago." Pei Mingcui smiled and said, "I was already desperate and knew that I might not be able to fulfill Beier's wish. But at the end of the road, a clue suddenly appeared. Brother Xiao, do you recognize Mayukiko?"
Xiao Buyi felt familiar with him, and after a little thought, he replied: "This seems to be a Yamato woman. Why did Miss Pei mention this person?"
Xu Shiji couldn't help but sigh. Xiao Buyi really seemed to have nothing to know about, and he was far inferior to that. He didn't know that Xiao Buyi knew Shi Yukiko in Jiangdu. At that time, in order to obtain the treasure, Xiao Buyi began to disrupt Yangzhou City. The golden Buddha was stolen by the bearded guest. Mayukiko and others were anxious. Xiao Buyi made a favor and helped them find the golden Buddha, which made them grateful. Unexpectedly, many years later, Pei Mingcui actually mentioned this person.
"Ruen Zun's whereabouts are mysterious. If it weren't for Mayukiko, I wouldn't have discovered Ruen's whereabouts." Pei Mingcui said: "With Mayuki, her brothers Mayu Nobuo, Huiyin and Hiroki are there."
Xiao Buyi nodded. He knew all these people, which showed that Pei Mingcui said was true, "The four of them all believe in the Great Sui culture. Have you come to the Central Plains to learn the scriptures again? But what does Mayukiko and my father have to do with each other?"
Pei Mingcui said: "The sea area between Yamato and the Central Plains is separated, and the traffic is separated, and the information is even more difficult. They did not know that the emperor had passed away, so they still came to worship on a boat. They never thought that this time was not the time, not only were there pirates on land, but also on water. Before they could arrive at the Central Plains, they passed an island. They encountered a group of pirates. The pirates were vicious and kidnapped them, and almost all the people in a boat were killed."
Xiao Buyi was secretly frightened, "What about them later, how did they escape the pursuit of pirates?" He had already vaguely guessed something, but he was still unbelievable. Pei Mingcui smiled, "At this time, a boat came to the sea, and one of them took action. With his own strength, nearly a hundred pirates were killed completely, and then he saved Mayukiko and others. After that, the two of them floated away and had nowhere to fall."
Xiao Buyi's heart was beating wildly, and he could still calmly ask, "Who is that person?"
Pei Mingcui took a sip of tea and then said slowly: "Mayukiko doesn't know who the person who rescued them is."
Xiao Buyi said in surprise: "Ms. Pei said it, what does it have to do with my father?"
"Although Mayuki Kiko doesn't know Lingzun, she and her elder brother have been to Dongdu and invited the Golden Buddha, so they have met the Lord. When the Lord receives foreign envoys, he often brings Empress Xiao out. Therefore, Mayuki Kiko has seen Empress Xiao's peerless beauty. Although the man on the boat has not got off the boat, Mayuki Kiko and others have already recognized that the man is very similar to Empress Xiao!"
Xiao Buyi was stunned, "Is the one who killed the pirate my father?"
"It's not my father anymore." Pei Mingcui laughed, "I heard from the description of Mayukiko. The person who saved them had scars on his face, which was quite similar to Reizun."
Xiao Buyi picked up the teacup, but forgot that there was no tea for a long time, which showed that he was confused. He really had difficulty accepting this fact. Xiao Dapeng was a cowardly and had no ambitions and just wanted to ask for more wives for him. He was actually a master? And after Pei Mingcui's description, he might be a peerless master.
No wonder Pei Mingcui said just now that she was full of surprise when she was chased.
It is really unimaginable that the master's son was so embarrassed when he arrived in Mayi.
"Miss Pei... are you trying to say..." Xiao Buyi swallowed his saliva, sorted out his thoughts, and said with difficulty: "My father was originally a master, and he stayed with Queen Xiao. After the emperor died, he took the queen quietly away. He was a master, so it was not difficult to do this. Then they walked eastward, crossing the ocean, missing?"
Xu Shiji frowned and said, "This seems a bit incredible."
Pei Mingcui said calmly: "I also find it incredible, but if it weren't for this, how could he have deceived so many of us?"
Xiao Buyi sighed softly: "I also find it unimaginable."
"Mayukiko and others got ashore and discussed the rescue. When they were met by my subordinates, I realized the cause and effect." Pei Mingcui smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, ask them. They heard that the emperor had collapsed and Dongdu had established a new lord. At that time, they were hesitant to come to Dongdu again. I told them that Dongdu is now the king of Xiliang Xiao Buyi. He was kind and honest, and only then did they know that they knew you too. But they were hesitant and I did not force them to come. Maybe one day, Dongdu will meet them again."
Only then did Xiao Buyi understand the cause and effect. He thought about the unpredictable world and many coincidences. When he accidentally met Mayukiko and others, he would not have thought that he would find Xiao Dapeng's whereabouts on them. But if it weren't for Mayukiko, I'm afraid that even Pei Mingcui would not be able to follow Xiao Dapeng's whereabouts.
How many secrets are there hidden in Xiao Dapeng?
After breathing a light sigh, Pei Mingcui said, "Brother Xiao, I always feel that I owe Pei Bei something. Pei Bei begs me to check it out, and of course I will do my best. This time I have paid back my favor?"
Xiao Buyi understood that she was talking about Pei Bei's assassination of Li Hun in Sifang Hall. She asked her angrily at the beginning, but she didn't expect that Pei Mingcui still hasn't forgotten it.
From Pei Mingcui's perspective, she did nothing wrong, or in other words, everyone did nothing wrong. Under the arrangement of fate, everyone felt that it was natural to do it. Xiao Buyi now understands Pei Mingcui's mood at that time more than ever. She was in that position and chose the best way to solve the problem. Just like sacrificing some people, she was willing to sacrifice! Just like he knew that Yu Culture and was just a puppet and was wronged, he did not hesitate to put Yu Culture and was doomed. Compared with the country, compared with his Xiliang army, what is the sacrifice of Yu Culture and Culture and Culture and Culture and the unification of the world?
Because of his understanding, he was kind to Pei Mingcui. Because of his understanding, he really didn't want Pei Mingcui to continue like this.
But it is precisely because of his understanding that he has nothing to say!
"Along the way, I saw Jiangnan gradually stabilized. It was especially good near Dongdu. Although Liyang is the center of the battle, the people are more peaceful than before." Pei Mingcui smiled brightly. "It may be the only thing I have done right in my life."
"Miss Pei, you live a hard life and you are too guilty." Xu Shiji suddenly said, "I know... you are not as you thought."
Xu Shiji has been watching and rarely speaks. But this sentence is sincere.
Pei Mingcui glanced at him and said, "Do you know what I think of yourself? Do you know what kind of person I am? Do you really think you know?"
Xu Shiji's face turned slightly red. He couldn't answer any of Pei Mingcui's three questions.
Pei Mingcui looked at the map on the table and said, "Brother Xiao must be the next step to attack Xu Yuanlang. I wish you success. I still have his own affairs, so let's take a step first..."
She was about to get up, and Xiao Buyi called out, "Miss Pei..."
"What's the matter?" Pei Mingcui asked.
"You must know... Ling Zun went to Hebei." Xiao Buyi was embarrassed.
"I know, so what?" Pei Mingcui asked.
Xiao Buyi sighed softly: "The Jiangdu army returned north, and I sent people to surrender several times, but Ling Zun obviously did not agree with me. This time he went to Hebei..."
"He is him, you are you, I am me." Pei Mingcui whispered: "Warning for the world, you can ignore your family and family, let alone you have nothing to do with it. But... Brother Xiao, don't underestimate your father... and Dou Jiande."
"I never underestimate anyone." Xiao Buyi said.
Pei Mingcui nodded and murmured, "That's good." She walked out the door, but after walking a few steps, she stopped again. Looking back, seeing Xu Shiji turned his gaze away, Xiao Buyi's eyes were like to keep it. She pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Xiao, I don't know when I will meet again next time, I will give you something." She reached into her arms, took out something and handed it to Xiao Buyi.
Xu Shiji only thought he would give away some token of his daughter, but he didn't expect that Pei Mingcui's hand would be a tortoise shell! Pei Mingcui reached out and saw Xiao Buyi full of surprise and smiled and said, "What's wrong? Don't you know this thing?"
Xiao Buyi sighed and said, "I know it, but I already have four pieces on my hand. I really don't know what this fifth piece means."
This time it was Pei Mingcui's turn to be surprised, "What did you say? You have four pieces, which is the fifth piece? Where did you get those four pieces?" Her face was a little pale, and suddenly she was shaking!
Chapter completed!
