"Fearless brother, long time no see!" Wu Mingche smiled and cupped his hands.
The man standing at the front of the greeting queue has turned white. He looks much older than Xiao Mohe, but he has a strong posture in every move. It is obvious at a glance that he must have a military background. This man is exactly
Pei Ji, the official minister of the Southern Chen Dynasty, had the courtesy name Wuwei.
Hearing such a word, Li Xingchen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "Taboo", it is obvious that his grandfather hoped that this person could judge the situation, act within his ability, and be taboo about the world, but his words did the opposite.
, it is indeed a bit unexpected. However, combined with Pei Ji's identity as a member of the Wenxi Pei family, it is reasonable to have such a deep and restrained name and surname that is domineering.
Seeing Wu Mingche, Pei Ji hurriedly stepped forward: "The last time I met Duke Ming was when we were recovering Huainan. Now that I think about it, it has been four years. I haven't seen him for four years. Duke Ming is as strong as ever!"
"Wuwei, please stop laughing at my old bones." Wu Mingche said with a smile and coughed slightly, "I'm old and no longer useful!"
When Wu Mingche took command of the Northern Expedition, he was recommended by Pei Ji. Later, Pei Ji led a partial army to attack Yuzhou and helped Wu Mingche clear the obstacles on his flanks. It can be said that the two had the friendship of being colleagues in the imperial court and the friendship of fighting side by side on the battlefield.
, with such a deep friendship, there is nothing polite even when talking on the pier.
Pei Ji stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation: "It's windy on the pier, so Ming Gong should get on the carriage first. Since your Majesty is here to greet Ming Gong and General Zuowei, I naturally can't let Ming Gong."
What's the use of business?"
"We've been through big winds and waves, why are we still afraid of a little wind?" Wu Mingche chuckled and pointed, "Come on, Wuwei, I will introduce to you, this is General Zuowei."
Xiao Mohe hurriedly stepped forward to salute him. For him, Pei Ji was a veteran of the court and a famous general in the Northern Expedition, so he naturally deserved his respectful salute.
Obviously very curious about the successor personally selected by this old man, Pei Ji looked Xiao Mohe up and down, and while returning the courtesy, he said: "When I led a partial army to Yuzhou, I didn't meet General Zuowei.
I saw General Zuo Wei today, he is tall and handsome, he is definitely not an ordinary person!"
"The minister is overly praised." Xiao Mohe bowed his head slightly without being humble or arrogant.
Pei Ji was startled for a moment, then laughed loudly: "This humility is really to my liking!"
However, Pei Ji then stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Mohe's sleeve, grabbed his hand and patted it: "But we are all old men in the army, so there is no need to be so humble and polite! This is quite...
Trouble, there are some things you should say, and some things you must not say, and you have to say it differently to different people. In my place, you can just say whatever you want, and I still like to say it directly!"
Xiao Mohe nodded: "I will finally be taught!"
Wu Mingche squinted his eyes, but didn't say anything.
Pei Zilie, who followed Wu Mingche respectfully, raised his head slightly and looked at Li Xingchen. Li Xingchen smiled slightly. Pei Ji said so many twists and turns when he met Xiao Mohe on the dock. It was possible that he admired Xiao Mohe.
The revelation of true feelings may also be telling Xiao Mohe and Wu Mingche that the capital city is turbulent and treacherous, and when it is time to keep one's mouth shut, one must not let any rumors leak out.
I just don’t know what Pei Ji means, but how much does Xiao Mohe understand?
Pei Ji made another invitation gesture this time. Wu Mingche did not refuse and walked towards the carriage. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and a eunuch, surrounded by the palace guards, hurriedly rushed into the dock. This was
After all, Jiankang Mansion is at the foot of the Emperor. The people on the dock have more or less seen the scene. They know that those who come out of these palaces are slaves inside and the King of Heaven outside. They are the most difficult to provoke, so they hurriedly got out of the way.
.
Pei Ji slowly turned around and looked at the group of people galloping over with indescribable emotions in his eyes. The eunuch was obviously not a person who could not grasp the importance of things. No matter how domineering he was in front of the common people, he stood at the end of the pier.
There are a few people he can't mess with.
Before the horse could stop, the eunuch dismounted, faced the direction of the palace, bowed first, and then turned around and said: "Your Majesty issued an order to summon Sikong, and the official Shangshu and General Zuowei came to the palace to see him."
Although His Majesty's instructions were delivered orally, the eunuch bowed his head slightly, with an easily detectable respect in his tone. His respect for Wu Mingche and others was beyond words. This not only shows that the eunuch is good at handling things, but also shows that His Majesty is not
Want to ask guilt.
Pei Ji breathed a sigh of relief, while Wu Mingche and Xiao Mohe glanced at each other subconsciously. It was already a big treat for His Majesty to have Pei Ji, the official minister of the capital, come to greet him. Now they haven't even waited for the two of them to settle down and take a breath.
He was summoned urgently, and the grace was self-evident.
In this way, His Majesty's emphasis on the Battle of Luliang and the change of generations in the army is even greater than Wu Mingche and Xiao Mohe originally expected.
"Boqing, please take the rest of the people back first. Shizhong is a guest, so don't neglect him." Xiao Mohe turned around and said, "Sir, you must be tired after months of fighting and the fatigue of traveling all the way.
Don't let Mr. Pei worry, go back and report that you are safe, and send Xiao's regards by the way."
Pei Zilie looked stern and hurriedly raised his hand: "This is what I am doing, general. Please rest assured."
Xiao Mohe specially told him that since he has care and trust, Pei Zilie cannot neglect him.
He glanced at Xiao Mohe and Pei Zilie with some curiosity, and Pei Ji shook his head slightly. Wu Tongzhao, an old man, was really determined to help Xiao Mohe become the leader, otherwise he would not have allowed his closest general to leave with Xiao Mohe.
So close.
"Enter the palace quickly, don't keep His Majesty waiting." Wu Mingche said in a deep voice and walked forward.
Looking at the figures of Wu Mingche and the others, Li Xingchen frowned slightly. Wu Mingche tried hard to stay out of the way like an old fox, the string of words Pei Ji said anxiously just after they met, and the eunuch's respect for Wu Mingche and Xiao Mohe...
·This mountain in the capital city is already mysterious even though only a corner is exposed. I wonder how much is left that Li Xingchen didn’t see?
"It's getting more and more interesting." Pei Zilie, who was standing next to Li Xingchen, murmured. He had been around Wu Mingche for a long time. Although he was not good at tactics, it didn't mean that he couldn't see through it. "This water, super
It’s so muddy as expected!”
With a wry smile, Li Xingchen's eyes finally fell on Xiao Mohe.
After this general who was proud on the battlefield and frustrated in his official career in history entered the capital, he wondered if the capital would still be peaceful.
The few people standing here now are all grasshoppers on a thread. Xiao Moha is good, and it will be beneficial and harmless to them in the end.
