Zhurou

Chapter 140
A moment ago on Panlou Street, Song Jingren had already arranged for the ceremony of ceremonies. He led three hundred soldiers and horses behind the neon-colored screen before arriving at the Xuande Gate. Then I saw a person standing not far away, whose appearance was very familiar.

He only thought that he had misread, and stared his eyes until they were as big as copper bells. However, the closer he got, the clearer he could see, the more he was at a loss. His nostrils were almost in front of him, and finally he couldn't help shouting: "Peng Jiang??"

The man glanced at him, but didn't show much surprise, he just replied: "It turns out that Song is going to raise the flag today."

As he said that, his man stepped forward a few steps and led him aside, holding the banner together.

Song Jingren was full of doubts, so he only asked first: "Why are you here? Didn't you go southeast?"

The general named Peng Jiang had a calm expression on his face, as if he had accepted his fate, and said: "I met Pei Jiedu on the way, he asked me what my plan was, and I followed him back."

Song Jingren was too surprised: "He only asked you a question, and you came? Didn't he have anything else to say?"

Peng Jiang smiled wryly and said: "What kind of soldiers in the northwest, what kind of soldiers under my command, don't follow me honestly, do you really want to fight, do you think you can fight?"

Song Jingren was speechless for a moment.

Peng Jiang sighed: "Besides, you and I are officers and soldiers. In the past, we were only deceived by Caizhou's edicts for Qian Weiwu, and then we had to go south as a last resort. Now that Her Royal Highness is here, if you don't follow the right path, do you want to fall into a grassroots bandit?"

Everyone in Song Jingren was stunned, and subconsciously repeated, saying, "A coercion? What coercion?"

As soon as he spoke, he felt that someone behind him bumped his old waist with an arm, and when he turned his head, he saw the second child who was following him winking at him with a pair of bull's eyes.

Before Song Jingren knew what to say, the second child had already echoed: "Vice General Peng is right, if Qian Weiwu hadn't made someone forge the Caizhou edict to deceive him, how could my brothers have followed suit to the south? As for those thousands of brothers, they are not the ones who are greedy for life and afraid of death, let alone Deputy General Peng!"

Peng Jiang nodded immediately, and said, "Exactly!"

He said again: "You brothers are from Chuzhou. I was born in Xuanzhou, and my hometown is near the left. If you are from the same town and neighbors, how can you really leave? I can only hate that Qian Weiwu!"

The second child continued: "This person fled the battle, and dared to pretend to be an order, and made us all miserable! He deserves to be hacked into pieces, but let him die cheaply!"

The two started one, one answered the conversation, one sang and one harmony, in front of all kinds of subordinates around, Shi Shiran finished a good show, pushed all the blame on Qian Weiwu, who was already dead and couldn't be more transparent, and washed each other It's clean, and when the play is over, there is still some sympathy for each other.

Only Song Jingren stood there ignorant, watching his second brother and that general Peng Jiang go back and forth, as if he had already grasped the key point, but if he had to explain clearly, there was still a layer of gauze missing. How to pierce.

After sympathizing with each other, taking advantage of the fact that this place is under the Xuande Gate, the princess's car has not entered, and there is a high wall blocking it, so no one can peep in. The second child can't help asking: "Our brothers went north with the princess' guard of honor all the way, but we haven't had a chance to meet the princess. Pei Jiedu, I've only heard his name for a long time, but I don't know what kind of person he is—Deputy General Peng..."

Knowing that both sides were in the same boat, Peng Jiang had no intention of hiding anything, and said solemnly: "Jiedu Gaoyi, the depths of his chest are beyond our comprehension, I know him very well, and he is unparalleled..."

He was still boasting, and his words were sincere, different from the lively show just now, as if they came from the heart.

The three of them were talking, when they suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with the movement in front of them, the drumming sound was continuous, but suddenly stopped, and the surroundings were abnormally quiet.

Peng Jiang immediately shut up, and together with Song Jingren and others and a group of soldiers bowed their necks forward, only a man could be seen from a distance running towards the princess' chariot alone, dismounted first, bowed to salute, and then got into the chariot.

It was sunset at this time, although the description of the man driving the car could not be seen clearly, only the man was wearing armor, the armor was obviously cleaned by someone every day, the fine steel rhombus shone in the dusk, and the man was tall and straight, when saluting His movements were measured like a ruler, with exactness and respect, but after getting on the horse, he waved his hands and whipped his whip, but it was very wanton.

When the chariot got closer, his face was finally seen.

Song Jingren looked at his appearance first, and felt that he was extremely handsome, not at all like a groom, and then he wanted to take a closer look, but was swept by his cold eyes. There was actually not much deliberate emotion in those eyes. For some reason, there was a sense of oppression. But it was so frighteningly strong that he subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze.

When the carriage arrived in front of him, he couldn't bear it anymore. He looked up again, but he met the eyes of the woman in the wooden window of the large open carriage one foot away.

Those apricot eyes are too beautiful and clear, although there is tulle on the face, the veil is actually very light, and one can vaguely guess the facial features.

Song Jingren opened his mouth subconsciously, and silently called "Your Highness", but the person opposite had obviously recognized him, and nodded with a smile.

When she smiled, it was like the beginning of spring and the first thaw of spring snow. Although she half covered her face, her eyes were originally clear and her skin was extremely white. At this moment, she was more vivid, suppressing all the jewels, jewels, jewels, jade, and costumes on her head and body. , and was diffused by the setting sun, it seemed to be shining, making people just stare in a daze.

As soon as the chariot arrived, the Xuande gate was already quiet, but seeing the people in the chariot, it was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

The speed of the chariots and horses was actually extremely fast, and they entered the palace almost in a blink of an eye, leaving a group of people waiting to stand on their own.

After a long time, Peng Jiang murmured, "Is that the current princess? What does she mean by coming here in person this time? Is she really going to risk her life to defend the capital?"

Song Jingren's mind suddenly resounded what he had heard on the way, and said: "Your Highness said that he will guard the capital personally, and if there is a chance, he will go north with me..."

Peng Jiang was taken aback for a while, wondering if she was touched by the smile just now, and then thought that this princess didn't go to the royal family in Xiazhou, and she didn't burn incense and cook tea in the palace on weekdays, enjoy the moon and flowers. It's eating, drinking and having fun outside.

In the past two or three months, although he did not go south with him, he also heard other people's reports that he knew that the elder sister of the new emperor had actually done a lot of things. It's good, but Di Ren is so easy to fight, no matter how beautiful he is, he can't use it all..."

Song Jingren didn't wait for him to finish, and asked: "The one who drove the car just now, does Deputy General Peng know what his background is?"

Peng Jiang said: "That is Pei Jiedu."

As soon as he spoke, he recalled the scene just now, and his expression and tone became strange: "Just now, Pei Jiedu himself drove the princess's car..."

***
The carriage drove into the palace, and finally blocked the sight of everyone outside.

Zhao Mingzhi sat upright for a day, his waist and legs were sore, he saw the chariot going all the way forward, passing the Zichen Hall, going left and right, and stopped outside the Ruisi Hall where the Supreme Emperor used to read books.

Pei Yong, who was driving in front, got off his horse at this time and stood beside the carriage, but raised his right arm for her to lean on when she got off the carriage, and raised his eyes to look at her intently.

　This episode is a bit slow, and I really hesitated how to double the speed at a constant speed, but it is not very fast, because I want to finish the main text within the predetermined 40 words, and I am afraid that everyone will think it is too hasty.There is only one map left. This book is really a short story, and many things will not be written.
