When Gao Bufan left Wude Hall, he found that Pei Xingyan had changed into regular clothes and was waiting for him outside the hall. He was a little surprised and asked, "Xingyan doesn't have to be on duty anymore?"

"It's a changing of the guard." Pei Xingyan replied, and then he quickly saluted Pei Ju, the Huangmen servant who was passing by, and said, "I have met Mr. Pei."

Gao Bufan also raised his hands in salute and addressed himself as Mr. Pei.

Pei Ju is about fifty years old, with three long strands of beard under his chin. He is handsome and handsome. It can be seen that he must have been a handsome and handsome man when he was young. His eyes are easy and his smile is warm, which makes people feel like spring breeze.

Create a good impression.

Pei Ju stopped, smiled and nodded: "So Xingyan and Gao Changqing are good friends?"

Pei Xingyan corrected him: "Friends of life and death."

Pei Ju said with some emotion: "I really envy you young people, you are brave, straightforward, frank, passionate, easy to get to know each other, get to know each other, and get along with each other. At my age, you can make acquaintances with even ordinary friends, let alone life and death friends.

The people around me are fighting for power and profit." After speaking, he patted Gao Bufan and Pei Xingyan on the shoulders respectively, as easy-going as an old neighbor.

At this time, Doctor Jin Ziguanglu Yu Shiji and Nayan Suwei also happened to come out of the hall. They probably heard what Pei Ju said. The latter snorted and strode past directly, while Yu Shiji smiled mischievously.

Roubuxiao said: "What you said, Mr. Pei, is wrong. Aren't I and Mr. Pei friends enough? Aren't we friends enough? "

"Go away, who is friends with you, an old fox? I made a mistake that day. You, Yu Shiji, burned the incense without adding insult to injury. You stabbed your ribs with two knives, and stabbed two knives in your back." Pei Ju waved his hands like he was shooing away flies.

, Yu Shiji actually didn't take it seriously, looked at Gao Bufan deeply, and then walked past with a smile.

Gao Bufan couldn't help but be a little stunned. Do these big shots in the court all speak so bluntly and frankly?

Pei Ju smiled at Gao Bufan and said, "I'll make Chang Qing laugh. I and Master Yu usually like to bicker with each other and make harmless jokes. Xingyan, please take Chang Qing to Shibo's place to sit down when you have time."

"

Pei Xingyan grinned and said, "Definitely, I'm afraid the wine in Master Pei's house is not enough, but Chang Qing has plenty."

Pei Ju chuckled and said, "It's the worst thing to do. Well, you continue to talk, and I, an old man, won't hinder you young people." After saying this, Shi Shiran drove away.

Gao Bufan watched Pei Ju walking away, thoughtfully. Pei Zhiyan saw this and said in a low voice: "Pei Ju and Yu Shiji are both famous old foxes in the court. Please don't be fooled by his appearance, Chang Qing."

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "I'm not stupid. By the way, Xingyan and Pei Shilang are both from Hedong. Could it be that they are from the same clan?"

Pei Xingyan shook his head and said: "No, Pei Ju is from the Pei family in Wenxi County, and his father is from the Pei family in Hedong County. They are not from the same line. Maybe they are distant branches. They have been estranged for a long time. But people with the same surname in the world really want to

If we look into it carefully, we might have been the same family five hundred years ago. Not to mention this, by the way, what official title did the emperor give you, Chang Qing?"

Gao Bufan said: "It's not convenient to talk with people coming and going here. Let's talk while walking."

Pei Xingyan was convinced, so he and Gao Bufan went out to Linshuo Palace. However, just as the two of them passed by two rows of Qianniu Guards standing guard, a guard leader with thick eyebrows and big eyes stopped them and stared at them with bright eyes.

He looked very tall, and there seemed to be a trace of undetectable hostility in his eyes.

Gao Bufan frowned secretly and was sure that he didn't know this person. Could he be Pei Xingyan's competitor?

"Chai Sichang, what are you doing?" Pei Xingyan frowned and said coldly.

The head guard ignored Pei Xingyan, clasped his fists at Gao Bufan and asked, "Are you Gao Changqing, a talented man from Bohai County?"

Gao Bufan cupped his fists and returned the salute: "I don't dare to take it seriously. I am Gao Bufan and Gao Changqing from Quan County."

The leader of the guards introduced himself: "I am Chai Shao, whose pseudonym is Sichang. I am prepared for a thousand oxen. I am a close friend of Li Shimin, the second son of the Duke of Tang Dynasty."

Gao Bufan's mind flashed, and he instantly understood where the other party's hostility came from. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "It turns out to be Brother Chai, whom I have admired for a long time."

Chai Shao asked sarcastically: "I wonder what Brother Gao has been looking up to for so long?"

Gao Bufan said with a calm expression: "I've been admiring for a long time, and I don't know what I've been admiring for. Oh, if I have to say something, it's that Brother Chai's eyebrows are very thick. I've been admiring for a long time."

Pei Xingyan almost collapsed, and the guards around him couldn't help laughing. If they weren't on duty, they would probably have laughed out loud.

Chai Shao was stunned for a moment, then showed an angry look on his face, and sneered: "I thought Gao Changqing of Quan County was such an outstanding person. Ganqing is just a fast-talking frivolous person. He is far behind Shimin. Changsun The general doesn’t know what he likes about you.”

Pei Xingyan raised his eyebrows and was about to retort, but Gao Bufan already smiled and said: "I am just a commoner, how can I compare with the second son of the Duke of Tang Dynasty? Xingyan, let's go, so as not to hinder Brother Chai from being on duty." After that, Walked away calmly.

Chai Shao was stunned again. It felt like he had been punched on cotton. His face turned red and white. Although Gao Bufan did not argue with him, he silently gained the upper hand. On the contrary, Chai Shao looked like a man on the street. A provocative and unreasonable shrew.

Chai Shao and Li Shimin were good buddies, and they were about to become Li Shimin's brother-in-law, because Tang Guogong Li Yuan had decided to betroth his third daughter, Li Xiuning, to Chai Shao.

Originally, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji had an oral engagement, but until Changsun Sheng's death, the marriage between the two families had not been finalized. Moreover, since Changsun Sheng took his brother and sister Changsun Wuji back to his natal home in Bohai County last year, Things seem to have changed.

It is said that Changsun Sheng belongs to Gao Changqing, a talented man from Bohai County. He also gave a jade pendant given by the late emperor to Gao Changqing in public. In addition, Changsun Sheng also brought his daughter Changsun Wugao to visit the Gao family horse farm, which was quite a bit like meeting the parents. Afterwards, Gao Changqing sent a poem to say goodbye, and the song "Lili Pasture Grass" was sung in Luoyang.

Therefore, even if Changsun Sheng did not publicly announce Gao Changqing of Zhaoquan County as his son-in-law, it still sent out an intriguing signal. In addition, Changsun Sheng did not really finalize the marriage between the two families with Tang Guogong until his death, and things became more complicated. Bigger.

Of course, Changsun Sheng did not explicitly cancel the original oral engagement before his death, so the marriage between Li Shi and Changsun Wugao became ambiguous and delayed.

Li Shimin obviously really liked Changsun Wugu. He was originally a very forthright and free-spirited person, but he became worried about gains and losses. He sighed all day long and was listless. As Li Shimin's good friend and quasi-brother-in-law, Chai Shao was naturally anxious and resentful for the former. I happened to meet Gao Bufan today, and I couldn't help it. Regardless of the fact that I was on duty, I stepped forward to block the road and question him, and defended my brother.

Unexpectedly, Gao Bufan behaved very magnanimously. He dismissed him with a single word and did not take any moves at all, leaving Chai Shao with nowhere to use his power.

Chai Shao also woke up at this time. He was on duty at the moment, so he didn't dare to catch up and entangle him. Moreover, doing so would make him feel inferior. If word spread, it would damage Shimin's reputation, so he could only watch helplessly.

Watching Gao Bufan walk away.

At this time, Pei Xingyan also realized Gao Bufan's clever move of retreating in order to advance, so he smiled and patted Chai Shao on the shoulder and said: "Chai Sichang, the emperor just received Gao Changqing and appointed him an official and rewarded him in public. Do you think your vision is better than that of others?"

General Changsun, is he better than the emperor?"

Chai Shao's expression changed slightly, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Pei Xingyan, Shimin and Miss Wugou have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. You'd better let Gao Changqing give up on this idea and stop having such wishful thinking."

Pei Xingyan shrugged and said, "In that case, why are you nervous? If it's fate, why not just let it take its course. If a grown man becomes like a nagging woman with a long tongue, then you deserve it. If

If something goes wrong, you, Chai Sichang, can't take care of it."

After Pei Xingyan finished speaking, he quickly chased Gao Bufan, feeling very refreshed. Chai Shao was so angry that he was shaking like a sieve. He dared to sigh secretly. This time Shimin was afraid that he would really meet his opponent. This Gao Changqing was not simple.
