In the tent, Tang Guan and Xiaoqi were chatting and laughing.

Outside the tent, Chen Yunsheng walked slowly in, his face a little heavy.

When he entered the tent, he saw that Chang Ying was not around, so he asked, "Where is Chang Ying's guard?"

"Go out and ask if there are any ships," Tang Guan responded.

Chen Yunsheng nodded. He had a long conversation with Pei Yan, but in the end he only got a brief sentence.

Pei Yan just said: "We will set off tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about it."

Even though Pei Yan said this, Chen Yunsheng was the victim. How could he just say that he didn't care and just ignored it? He was thinking that after entering Beijing, he would take part in his book no matter what.

Chen Yunsheng sat down. Tang Guan saw this and said, "Uncle Chen, when will we set off?"

Chen Yunsheng was deep in thought. When he heard this, he raised his head and said: "Tomorrow"

"So early?" Tang Guan's heart moved when he heard this.

Just as the two were talking, another person entered the account, it was Chang Ying. At this time, his expression was slightly excited.

When he entered the tent, he saw Chen Yunsheng and said: "Censor, there is a grain escort ship and it will go to Chang'an tomorrow."

Chen Yunsheng nodded slightly, he had already learned the news from Pei Yan.

Seeing that Chen Yunsheng seemed to have known about it for a long time, Chang Ying realized that he was doing something unnecessary, so he smiled bitterly and sat down.

"Censor, what about Liu Xun?" Chang Ying remembered the matter at this time and asked Chen Yunsheng with gritted teeth.

Chen Yunsheng shook his head and said: "My old husband said I don't need to worry about it anymore."

"Ah!? No matter what? This is a charge of rebellion!" Chang Ying immediately jumped when he heard this.

"Officer Chang, just because my husband asked us not to care, it doesn't mean he doesn't care. Please be patient and don't be impatient." Tang Guan saw this and smiled. Chen Yunsheng also looked at Tang Guan after hearing this.

Tang Guan stuck out his tongue and said, "I'll just say it casually. I'll just say it casually."

Chen Yunsheng shook his head, and the depression in his heart eased a little. Tang Guan's words were right. Pei Yan was the leader of the dynasty. Now that he had learned about the matter, even if it was just one-sided words from himself and others, he would not let it go.

Except for the generals, the army only had two meals, morning and noon. Fortunately, a few of them only had their meals in the afternoon, so they were not hungry now.

When several people were silent, Xiao Qi pulled Tang Guan and whispered: "It's too boring. Let's go out for a walk. Maybe there will be something fun."

Tang Guan nodded when he heard this and said: "Uncle Chen, Xiao Qi and I will go out for a walk."

Chen Yunsheng was deep in thought and ignored him. He waved his hand and said, "Don't go far."

"knew"

After Tang Guan and Xiao Qi left the tent, Chang Ying stood up and wanted to follow them.

Chen Yunsheng said, "Officer Chang, are the grain ships heavily guarded?"

When Chang Ying heard this, he was stunned on the spot.

...

The soldiers who had been hanging around here all year round naturally dismissed the scenery of the military camp, but Tang Guan Xiaoqi, who had just arrived, felt that every hour in this important place was a different scene.

It was now dusk, and the setting sun cast a golden layer over the entire military camp, and the armor also glowed with a rather brilliant color.

"No wonder they say the cold light shines on iron clothes, and it's true under the setting sun." Tang Guan stared at the rows of soldiers passing by and couldn't help but think to himself.

The two of them wandered around aimlessly, looking here and there, and were occasionally scolded by the soldiers guarding each camp. Tang Guan did not argue with them and silently pulled Xiao Qi away.

The military camp was not big, so the two of them walked to the camp gate in a short time.

There was a figure that caught Tang Guan's attention. He saw an old figure getting on his horse not far away, apparently heading somewhere else.

And this person is the old Prime Minister Pei Yan.

Just as he was about to ride his horse, Tang Guan pulled Xiao Qi forward.

Tang Guan shouted: "Old husband, where are you going?"

Pei Yan turned around and looked at him, slightly stunned and said: "Come on, get on the horse."

Tang Guan had never ridden a horse before, and after looking around, he didn't know how to get on. Pei Yan reached out his hand and pulled hard, and Tang Guan climbed onto the horse awkwardly.

Then Pei Yan picked up Xiao Qi and put him behind him.

"Hold tight!"

Before Tang Guan could sit firmly, he suddenly stumbled.

"Drive!" Pei Yan slapped the horse hard, and in an instant, all four hooves jumped up and ran straight to the top of the mountain.

Feeling the sound of wind around him, Tang Guan couldn't help but move his buttocks back, close to Pei Yan's arms, for fear of falling.

This was the first time that he felt the jolt of the horse. As he reached the uphill slope, the momentum gradually slowed down and a sunset came into view.

"Huu~" The horse slowly stopped. Pei Yan turned over and dismounted, then took Tang Guan down and placed him on the ground. He held the horse's rope and walked forward slowly. Xiao Qi sat on the horse and was at a loss.

Upon seeing this, Tang Guan smiled and said: "Liang Jun, you are so lucky. The prime minister is holding the horse for you."

Xiao Qi was also happy when he heard this. Although he was still a little vague about the official rank, but seeing that everyone was a little afraid of this old man, he couldn't help but clapped his hands with pride and said with a smile: "The Prime Minister has led my horse for me!"

Pei Yan listened to the conversation between the two and laughed. He was old, but his energy was still the same as before. The horse next to him was startled by this smile and moved a few times.

Xiaoqi, who was on the horse, hurriedly hugged the horse tightly and almost fell.

And this scene of a prime minister holding a horse has also become a quite dramatic story in later history, "Zhongyihou met the old prime minister when he was young, and the old prime minister led the horse to ride. The holy king said: "It's like being in charge of the prime minister but not being able to do so.

It's not like Liang Jun did it. The old man was happy, but he was shocked."

Pei Yan smiled, looked at the setting sun, and sighed softly.

"Old husband, I didn't expect you to be so elegant." Tang Guan looked at the rather magnificent sunset scene, stepped forward and said with a smile.

Pei Yan did not speak, until the afterglow fell, and then he said: "Qu Bing, do you know what's ahead?"

Tang Guan looked at the vast sky behind the mountain, and could see nothing but birds, trees, and rocks.

Xiao Qi said: "There are big insects ahead."

"Oh? Big insect?" Pei Yan also became interested when he heard this and looked at Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi scratched his head, pointed at a cloud in the sky that looked like a burning cloud, and said, "Look, does that look like a big insect?"

"Haha, you are as innocent as I was when I was a child." Pei Yan smiled when he heard this. He was also a parent and had enjoyed the green years of his children and grandchildren, who were kind, true and lively.

But now that he is getting older, the current ruler feels an indescribable sense of loneliness under the setting sun.

Tang Guan looked at Pei Yan's lonely back and felt a little emotional. Everyone will grow old eventually, and he was determined to gain the status of being a master, but after he really achieved it, Pei Yan might not look like him.

How happy.

What exactly is a superior person? In his previous life, his grandfather told him that if a scholar has pride, he is a superior person. Until now, Tang Guan has not understood what pride is.

Could it be that he was just like the Pei Yan in front of him, who refused to give in to others and died miserably, had his house confiscated, and implicated a lot of people?

In his opinion, Pei Yan would not die if he didn't seek death, and he obviously had plenty of choices. Until he was imprisoned, the civil and military officials of the court interceded on his behalf.

Only then did Tang Guan realize that he had changed more than just Pei Yan. The famous general Cheng Wuting who guarded the border and frightened the Turks, the prime ministers Liu Jingxian and Guo Shiju who were in the same cabinet as Pei Yan...

In history, when Pei Yan was imprisoned, all the officials who pleaded for mercy ended miserably, but this does not mean that they were not good officials. With these names, Tang Guan racked his brains and could not figure out how they got the title of traitor and sycophant.

Cheng Wuting was framed by cruel officials because he interceded for Pei Yan, and died miserably. After his death, the Turks held a feast to celebrate. Such a loud slap could not stop the woman's crazy steps. She brought the empire to its peak step by step. Without her, the empire flourished.

Extremely declining, the prosperous age of Kaiyuan seems to have become a reflection of her heavenly dynasty.

"This woman is really scary," Tang Guan couldn't help but murmured softly when he thought about it.

Pei Yan's eyelids moved slightly, not knowing whether he heard it or not.

After a long time, he said: "Qu Bing, the road ahead is for you, and it is also a battlefield where my fellow soldiers kill each other. Luo Guanguang is right, but there is no right or wrong for the people."

Pei Yan didn't look at Tang Guan and just spoke with his back to him. Xiao Qi winked at Tang Guan on the horse and couldn't help being stunned when she heard this.

"Old husband, is Chang'an Road easy to walk?"

“It’s easy to leave, but it’s also difficult to leave.”

"Old husband, how long have you walked on Chang'an Road?"

"Half a lifetime"

"What about the rest of my life?"

Having said this, the afterglow disappeared and the sky darkened. Pei Yan turned around and said: "On horseback."

After saying that, he led the horse, picked up Tang Guan, placed it on the horse, and then got on the horse.

The two of them didn't talk much, and Pei Yan didn't regard Tang Guan as a child. The few simple responses made Tang Guan's heart beat with fear. He immediately looked back and sighed softly.

They went down the mountain very quickly, and after a while they returned to the camp. Pei Yan sent the two of them to the tent, looked at Chen Yunsheng and said, "Yunsheng, come out with me."

Chen Yunsheng responded, got up and followed Pei Yan out of the tent.

Pei Yan took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chen Yunsheng and said: "Let's go to Chang'an and give the letter to the Queen of Heaven. I said it was written by an old man. Don't remove the paint on the way."

Chen Yunsheng's eyelids twitched and he nodded. Pei Yan saw this and said: "Go back, someone will take you to the dock early tomorrow morning."

"Old husband, when will this battle be over?" Chen Yunsheng took the letter, put it carefully into his arms, and asked.
To be continued...
