He also started to argue, and I said fiercely: "What does this have to do with whether I go with Yan Xiaoqing or not?"
Pei Yuan glanced at me: "Let me go first!"
Looking at the collar that I had been holding in my hand, and at Pei Yuan's tugging expression, I took a deep breath and let go: "You'd better tell me everything you know! Otherwise..."
"What else?" Pei Yuan followed scornfully.
"You care about me so much, hurry up and say what you need to say!"
Pei Yuan lowered his head and thought for a while: "If you had left with Yan Xiaoqing, Xia Yan would not have left the army who came to rescue him and gone to find you alone. If he had not gone to find you, Xia Huanzhi would never have had the chance to become the regent.
, and so on, think about it, should you listen to what I said back then?"
I was speechless when asked. Could it be that today's dilemma was all caused by me? It was me who made it difficult for Xia Yan to return to the court? It was me who made those soldiers lose their lives. It was me...
Suddenly I regained my composure and threw it on Pei Yuan's head. I remembered that he had practiced Iron Head Kung Fu, and this blow was neither painful nor itchy for him.
As expected, Pei Yuan covered his head and asked indifferently: "What are you doing?"
"Can you tell if I hit you?" I said bitterly.
Pei Yuan sneered: "The days are long, and I will get back today's revenge from you one day!"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to get it back, don't forget, you ate the most of the mutton last night!" I reminded with ill intentions.
Pei Yuan rolled his eyes at me: "I don't need to worry about this. You should go and care about the remaining soldiers. It won't be as simple as a hundred people dying tomorrow!"
"How many people will die?"
"One thousand and sixty-four people! In two days, everyone here will be dead! Of course, including Di Qing!"
I looked at him up and down: "Why don't you die?"
"I will die too, but not at this time!" After Pei Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Suddenly I had the urge to jump forward and kick him, but before I could take action, Pei Yuan disappeared into the snow, and then there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
…
"What happened to him?" Di Qing asked, pointing to Pei Yuan who was covered in injuries.
I shook my head: "It was fine at first, but for some reason, it fell into an animal trap."
Di Qing showed an expression of pity, turned around and patted Pei Yuan's hand exposed under the quilt: "It's okay. The military doctor said it's just a slight scratch, and it'll be fine in two days!"
Xia Yan didn't come over, probably because he had something to do. After condolences to Pei Yuan, Di Qing left. From beginning to end, Pei Yuan didn't make a sound, not even a basic thank you.
I dismissed the guards around me and sat next to him. Seeing me approaching, Pei Yuan's eyes widened in fear.
"Di Qing is also a veteran of two dynasties. If you don't give face to others, you should at least give him some face. People are kind enough to come and see you..."
"I don't talk to dying people!"
"..."
"Pei Yuan, we are all adults now, please stop acting like children, okay? If Di Qing dies, if you want to eat roast mutton in the future, who will cook it for you?"
Pei Yuan was startled, his eyes a little moved.
I continued: "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If there are so many people in the army, if you save them all, your merits will be immeasurable!"
"I don't want to hear this nonsense!"
"Then let me talk about the key point. How can we solve the immediate danger?"
Pei Yuan turned his head and said with a half-smile: "How to do it? Don't you know?" He also started to argue, and I said fiercely: "What does this have to do with whether I go with Yan Xiaoqing or not?"
Pei Yuan glanced at me: "Let me go first!"
