In the afternoon, the sun is just right.

In front of the Guangping Marquis Mansion, Pei Yue was holding the pony that Mr. Xi had specially obtained. After all, with his current body, he was unable to control such a tall horse.

Gu Fan drank a lot of wine during lunch, and his handsome face was flushed and his complexion was slightly smoky. He took the reins of his horse from the servant, jumped up on tiptoes, turned his head and asked, "I even asked you to stay here."

Why are you in such a hurry to go back after staying here for a few days?"

Pei Yue stepped up in the stirrup and replied: "There are still many things to deal with in the village, and the whereabouts of Peach Blossom are unknown. How can I be in the mood to stay idle?"

Gu Fan respected Taohua very much, and after hearing this, he comforted him and said, "You don't have to worry too much. I have sent out the elite of the battalion to search along several important roads going south. Today, when I returned to Beijing, I specially sent someone to send a personal letter to the Ministry of Justice to ask for help.

You probably don’t know that although the Minister of Punishment is from the civil service camp, he has a close personal relationship with me, so this kind of favor will definitely help. Maybe when you return to the village later, Miss Peach Blossom will have returned intact."

Pei Yue felt relieved and said with emotion: "Uncle, I really don't know how to repay you for your kindness."

Gu Fan raised his eyebrows: "How about you recognize me as a godfather?"

Pei Yue looked at him helplessly, wondering what kind of brain circuit this was.

Gu Fan raised his hand and said with a smile: "Come on, I'm just kidding you. Come on, I'll take you back. The gentleman is not here, so I have to beg you to be your bodyguard."

As soon as the two of them arrived at the end of the street, they saw five or six young men standing under the shade of a tree at the corner, all of them dressed in rich clothes and with solemn expressions.

When Pei Yue saw the young man at the head, his expression suddenly dimmed.

The teenagers walked to the middle of the street and blocked their way.

Gu Fan narrowed his eyes and sneered: "A good dog doesn't block the way."

A sturdy young man took a step forward and said with a bad look: "Gu Fan, please keep your mouth clean!"

Gu Fan put his hands on the saddle and said disdainfully: "Liu Bi, do you want to take action? I will give you one hand and one foot, lest your father say that I bully you."

The young man was Liu Ben, the second son of Wu Ding Bo Liu Guang.

The leader among them is Pei Cheng, the eldest son of Duke Dingguo, who will soon inherit the title.

Pei Cheng didn't seem to hear the dispute next to him. He just stared at Pei Yue and said, "I have something to tell you."

Gu Fan said loudly: "Pei Cheng, if your hands are itchy, I can reluctantly play with you. Anyway, we didn't have enough fun last night. By the way, do you know who we killed last night?"

Pei Cheng glanced at him sideways and said lukewarmly: "What does our brother's talk have to do with you?"

Gu Fan wanted to ridicule, but Pei Yue raised his hand to stop him: "Brother, I will handle this matter myself."

Liu Ben and other young men all had angry expressions on their faces when they heard these words, because Pei Cheng was the eldest brother of this bastard. How could he ignore his own brother and praise others? In their hearts, Pei Yue was already a greedy person.

A hateful villain who does whatever it takes to flatter his powerful family.

Pei Cheng was unexpectedly calm and only said to Liu Ben and others: "You guys wait here for a while."

Then he walked away.

Pei Yue also got off his horse, tied the horse to a nearby tree trunk himself, and then followed Pei Cheng.

The two came more than ten feet away and stood facing each other, three feet apart.

Pei Cheng looked at this delicate and handsome face. He had a lot to say in his heart but didn't know how to say it for a moment. After a while, he said dryly: "I haven't seen you in half a year. You have grown taller."

Pei Yue was startled for a moment, then replied: "Maybe it's because the life in the village is more leisurely and the food is good, so he grows faster."

Pei Chengchang sighed: "Listening to what you said, I found that I was not as angry as I thought. On the way here, I thought that even if I didn't beat you, I would scold you."

Pei Yue nodded and said, "I also thought you were here to ask questions."

Pei Chengdao: "It seems you don't think you are at fault."

Pei Yue asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Pei Cheng was stunned, but the hesitation was only for the blink of an eye. Then a trace of anger finally appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "He is your father! Even if there is something wrong with you, you can't use this kind of behavior."

Force him to resign! I know that you have had a hard time these years, but have you ever thought that if your father really wanted to harm you, would you be able to survive until now? What you are doing now is tantamount to destroying your father's life.

How can everything be sustained in the future?”

Pei Yue showed a hint of sarcasm: "If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die? If the father wants the son to die, the son has to die?"

Pei Cheng said angrily: "What's wrong with this?"

Pei Yue sighed softly, unable to hide the disappointment in his eyes, and shook his head slightly: "Of course not."

Pei Cheng looked at him steadily and said coldly: "Even if this is the case, you can't do that, because doing that is unfilial!"

Pei Yue looked up at the blazing sunshine, listening to the chirping of insects from the branches, and suddenly felt a little unmotivated. Maybe the worlds of the two people are different. If it weren't for the bond of brotherhood, I'm afraid there would be nothing in this life.

Intersection. He didn't expect Pei Cheng to understand him, but then he suddenly realized that the words loyalty and filial piety are indeed the norms in people's hearts in this era.

Seeing that he was silent, Pei Cheng said slowly: "Sooner or later, this title will be mine, so I won't be grateful to you."

Pei Yue looked at his complicated expression and asked in confusion: "What do you want to say when you come to me?"

Pei Cheng said calmly: "I will go to the Western Region soon to join the army and kill the enemy."

Pei Yue responded: "Then I wish you success and success as soon as possible."

Pei Cheng shook his head and said, "That's not what I want to hear."

Pei Yue frowned slightly and looked at him.

Half a year ago, Pei Cheng would not have looked at his concubine seriously, but since that day at Mingyue Pavilion, everything has changed. During Pei Taijun's birthday party, he noticed that Pei Yue had changed a lot, but he never thought that Pei Yue had changed a lot.

However, this concubine actually had the ability to force his father to bow his head. This was only in the past six months.

To this day, what Yin Dao said back then echoes in his ears.

After witnessing Pei Rong's gaffe at home today, the seventeen-year-old boy seemed to have grown up suddenly.

He stared at Pei Yue and said: "What happened in the past was our fault, and we were really mean to you, so I came here to apologize to you today."

Under the gaze of those young men in the distance, Pei Cheng suddenly bowed to Pei Yue.

Pei Yue hesitated slightly, but in the end he did not get out of the way.

After Pei Cheng stood up, he said with a normal expression: "I hope you can keep in mind what I'm going to say next. I don't care what you do after I leave the capital, and I'm not jealous. You know those big shots. You just want to be successful. I won't."

What kind of stumbling blocks are you doing secretly? But one thing is, don't put your hands into Duke Dingguo's mansion again. If you dare to do this, I will definitely come back from the border and kill you with my own hands."

Pei Yue asked calmly: "Is this a reminder or a threat?"

Pei Cheng was noncommittal and continued: "Gennis and grudges must come to an end. Is it a good show for father and son to kill each other? You were indeed wronged in the past, so I came to apologize for my father today, and he himself was punished.

I just hope that this matter will end here and not reach a point that no one wants to see."

Pei Yue was silent for a moment and said calmly: "I will not take the initiative to harm others, but after seeing those corpses on the farm last night, I swore in my heart that I would never stupidly wait for others to harm me again, no matter who they are."

Pei Cheng said bluntly: "If the day comes, you can do it."

Pei Yue was a little surprised.

A look of determination appeared on Pei Cheng's face, and he said in a deep voice: "I will still kill you, unless you kill me first."

Pei Yue nodded slightly and said indifferently: "If that day comes, I will not be soft-hearted."

"Very good, you behaved like a man today. Do you know why I didn't like you before? If I were you, I would never go to Mingyue Pavilion to complain. Instead, I would find an opportunity to kill that bitch Liu with one knife.

Wife. But now it seems that you still have the blood of our Pei family flowing in your body, so it’s not too bad."

"If I were you, Mrs. Liu would dare to do that?"

"That's all, let's forget about old things. After I leave the capital, you should go see Pei Ning more often. She is closer to you than to me, your eldest brother."

"Didn't you just tell me not to put my hands into Duke Dingguo's mansion?"

"Do you want to go or not?"

After Pei Cheng said these words, he turned around and walked away. He greeted the group of dandy boys, untied the reins tied to the tree next to him, then jumped on his horse, and the young men left like a whirlwind.

Pei Cheng's voice floated far in the air: "Remember my words! Third child!"

Gu Fan came to Pei Yue and asked, "Are you okay?"

Pei Yue shook his head and smiled: "It's okay."

The two got on their horses and set foot on the street opposite to the group of teenagers.
