Long Sword and Jun Wu

Chapter 138: Vivid Picture
Pei Min saw the person in front of him clearly and was stunned for a long time. The person in front of him was the Khitan Princess Guqing - Li Tingmu.

Li Tingmu's eyes sparkled, and she instantly changed from being furious to being tender-hearted. She said to Pei Min in a tender voice: "Brother Pei, is it really you? I finally see you again."
Pei Min came back to his senses and saluted Li Tingmu, "Your Highness the Princess." Pei Min felt very complicated. This time, the Khitan specially asked the princess to come and celebrate his birthday, so he must have a lot of troubles.

A person next to him also came over and said, "Warrior Pei Min, we meet again." It was Murta.

"General Murta, I didn't expect to meet you again in the Tang Dynasty so soon." Pei Min sincerely admired Murta.

The noble on the opposite side saw Li Tingmu change from being arrogant and domineering to being gentle and affectionate all of a sudden, and saw a group of people reuniting there after a long time, and no one paid attention to him. He was very dissatisfied in his heart, and shouted at Li Tingmu with a knife, "Hey, are you still going to fight?"
Li Tingmu was just about to have a good chat with Pei Min, but was interrupted. She looked unhappy, "Hey, can't you see that I have more important things to do? Why are you still fighting? Please go in quickly, I want to have a good talk with my big brother Pei Min!"

The nobleman got even angrier and was about to make a scene, but a group of etiquette officials from the Honglu Temple hurried over to dissuade him, "Little Prince, the hot water and snacks are ready in the inn. Please move aside and let me welcome you all."
The young ceremonial officer bowed and scraped, kowtowing and saying all the nice things he could before he welcomed them in, thus averting a major war.

The small ceremonial officer who was receiving the Khitans calmed down the hot-tempered Li Tingmu as soon as Pei Min appeared, and they were all very grateful to Pei Min, "Thank you, General Zhonglang, for your help, which saved me from a great disaster."
Pei Min also stumbled upon it by mistake, and replied modestly: "Nothing, you're welcome."
Li Tingmu curled his lips and snorted: "He's just a little prince of the small Bolor Kingdom, why should I be afraid of him?"
Murta could not help but remind him: "Princess, don't forget what you promised the king before you set out. When you arrive in the Tang Dynasty, you must behave yourself and not cause any trouble."
Li Tingmu naturally ignored him, snorted again, hooked Pei Min's arm, and said with a smile: "Brother Pei Min, we haven't seen each other for so long, and I am a guest from afar, you have to accompany me well."
Pei Min was still on duty, so he immediately declined, "I am still on patrol and cannot leave my post without permission. I will come a few days later, when I am done with my duties, to pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Li Tingmu's face sank, and he was about to explode again. Then another person got out of the Khitan sedan chair, stretched his body, and saw Pei Min, and shouted happily, "Warrior Pei Min, we meet again."
He came over and it was the Khitan prince Li Tangu.

He smiled happily, came over and put his arm around my shoulder, "Pei Min Warrior, it's great to see you again in the Tang Dynasty. My sister and I have been talking about you all the way. I thought that when I come to pay homage to you and celebrate your birthday, I must find you and have a few drinks with you, Pei Warrior."
Pei Min tried to escape but was stopped by Li Tangu, so he could only bow: "Grand Prince."
"Hahaha, Pei Yongshi, don't be polite. I've long regarded you as a brother. Come on, let's go in and have a few bottles first." Li Tangu was very enthusiastic. He pulled Pei Min's other arm and went into the inn, completely ignoring Li Tingmu's fierce look.

The ceremonial officials were grateful for what they saw, and hurriedly pushed Pei Min and the Khitan group into the inn, offering them good wine and delicious food and entertaining them warmly.

Pei Min was pushed into the inn helplessly. His swordsmanship might be well-known in the world, but he seemed completely unable to refuse these enthusiastic invitations.

Guo Ziyi and his companions were completely forgotten. They could only stare in amazement as their General of the Central Army was pushed into the posthouse. The best fighters of the Jinwu Guard could only stare blankly.

After staring for a long time, someone spoke weakly, "Boss, the General was kidnapped by that woman. Should we inform Madam Gongsun?"

Another person beside him knocked on his head, "How foolish of you to complain, be careful or Lord Pei will cut off your tongue with his Xuanqing sword."
But some people thought differently, "That's not the case. It happened right here on the street, and so many people saw it. Sooner or later, it will reach Gongsun Madam's ears. Then she will blame us for not keeping a close eye on Lord Pei. Didn't you see the whip of the Khitan princess? When a woman gets angry, she is much more terrifying than a man."
Several people nearby nodded in agreement. "It seems to make sense."
Guo Ziyi also thought it made sense. After discussing it, the group decided not to take the blame and let the couple fight on their own.

After resigning from their posts, the group ran to the entrance of the Pear Garden to ask to see Gongsun Ling.

Gongsun Ling came out suspiciously and saw Guo Ziyi and his group, who were smiling at her in a flattering manner.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you all here? What's the hurry?"

Someone spoke first. "Madam Gongsun, it's bad. Master Pei was kidnapped by a woman."
"Ah?" This was a random question and Gongsun Ling was completely confused.

Another person added, "The ceremonial officer of the Honglu Temple told us that when Lord Pei was inspecting, he saw an acquaintance, a princess, and then was abducted by the princess, and the inspection mission was abandoned." Of course, he had to put the blame on others and definitely could not say that he saw it himself. "Huh?" Gongsun Ling still didn't understand. What princess? What abduction?

"She seemed to be a Khitan princess. As soon as she saw Lord Pei, she hooked his arm."
"The face is almost touching it."
"I heard that the two of them were flirting and whispering to each other on the street."
Several people talked at once, describing the events vividly and exaggerating them, and Gongsun Ling finally pieced the story together.

While Pei Min was on patrol, he ran into a group of Khitan people who came to celebrate a birthday. They were none other than Princess Li Tingmu.

"Then they linked arms and went into the inn to drink and chat."
The final conclusion.

The scene suddenly fell silent. Gongsun Ling thought about it but said nothing.

Guo Ziyi took the lead and smiled, "We also heard it from others. Madam Gongsun, you should ask Lord Pei for the specific situation." They absolutely could not say that they were also at the scene.

After filing the complaint, the group of people ran away.

----------

Pei Min finally got rid of the harassment of the Khitan group and returned to the mansion bought by Li Bai, exhausted both physically and mentally. The moon was already dim and the stars were sparse.

When he opened the dormitory door, he saw Gongsun Ling smiling at him.

Pei Min was startled, "Why are you here?"

Gongsun Ling did not answer. She stood up and walked closer to him, smelling the intoxicating smell of alcohol on him.

With a half-smile, he asked: "Who did you go drinking with? Did you go to Lord He's house with Taibai to drink?"
Pei Min did not answer, but just hugged Gongsun Ling, buried his head in her hair, and absorbed the fragrance of her hair.

Gongsun Ling was stunned for a moment, and seemed to smell a faint scent of powder.

A disaster is coming, please collect it
