The gale blew all day and night, and finally there was a sign of abatement. The joy of getting rid of the thorn was almost gone. Pei Ming was lying on the table, holding his cheek in one hand, muttering from time to time.

Although the present trouble is gone, there is a problem that can't be avoided. Zhu Tang is a general guarding the border. If he dies, he has to report back to the Imperial City anyway.

It's not that she's afraid that the crown prince will send another thorn to find fault. The main reason is that she's not sure about the emperor's attitude. After all, there are so many things that are different from those in the last life. She can't guarantee that everything will be as he expected.

At this time, the door was knocked and Xue tingji called out, "Ah Ming, Chang Xiaowei is here."

They had a long discussion about who would be in charge of returning to the palace. In fact, everyone was the same. Anyway, they were all people who were facing Xue tingji.

After all, Chang Xiaowei was ordered by his majesty. It must be his words that the emperor wanted to hear the most. Moreover, he will probably continue his mission and return to the border to serve Xue tingji in the name of protection.

Taking advantage of the small wind and sand, Chang Xiaowei plans to leave today. Before leaving, he says goodbye to miss Pei and his highness. By the way, he asks if he can help.

"Miss Pei must be concerned about her family? May I take a message for you? "

Pei Ming is really worried about his mother, but after thinking about it, he should not let Chang Xiaowei take the risk. What's the matter? The silver plate will find a way to pass it on.

Xue tingji wants to get something. Unfortunately

He gave a wry smile. Although he dropped his eyes, he was still seen with red eyes. "Everything in the six kings' mansion must have been sealed. I can't hope for it."

When he was driven out of the Imperial City, he was alone. The Emperor didn't even want to give him his life, let alone the things.

Not having the heart to see his Highness's expression, Chang straightened out his chest, "just say what you want, and my subordinates will try their best to find a way for you."

Xue Ting took this kindness and looked at Pei Ming. He was embarrassed to scratch his head.

"It's not something valuable, it's a dagger." Then he began to draw a line, "it's so long. The scabbard is inlaid with gems. The whole six princes' mansion is just that one."

Chang Xiaowei nodded. If it's a dagger, it should be able to bring it out. Pei Ming blinked. "What you said should not be..."

"Forget it?" Xue Ting said, "the birthday gift you gave me, you can pick it up when you go shopping in the night market. It's so perfunctory. I'm still a treasure."

Pei Ming can't forget it. It's not perfunctory. The dagger was sent to help him in his suffering. However, it didn't play any role and wasted her mind.

However, there are so many things in liuwangfu, such as gold, silver and medicinal materials. Which one is not the most useful treasure? He just needs a simple dagger?

Seeing through her doubts at a glance, Xue Ting pinched her nose discontentedly. "You think everyone is the same as you. Let me collect the treasures of the world for you. You don't want to have a look at them more."

Even if Pei Ming only gave him a piece of paper, he had to mount it and put it away. He didn't want anything else as long as a Ming gave it to him.

In Chang Xiaowei's teasing eyes, Pei Ming was embarrassed to entangle with him. He simply ignored him and told Chang Xiaowei to be careful on the way.

"Remember, you and general Yu must not have any personal relations. Your majesty is suspicious. You must keep yourself."

Chang Xiaowei remembered, saluted and said goodbye to you, and drove south against the turbid north wind. At this time, the imperial city should be a prosperous scene in early spring.

Wait

Pei Ming, who is imagining the spring scenery, blinks suddenly. He always feels as if he has forgotten something. Is there any recent change based on the experience of his last life? I didn't think about it carefully.

She shrugged her shoulders and was about to say something to Xue tingji. At the same time, Perry came and said that the soldiers were going to go to the West town to invite his highness.

A hundred miles to the West from here, there is indeed a big town. If all the living materials needed by the barracks are transferred from the Imperial City, it would be too luxurious. Therefore, it is the most important supply station. When there is no war, the soldiers can go to the town to relax.

The people there are also military households. Since sooner or later they will be under Xue tingji's command, it's good for him to get familiar with them.

Although it's more interesting to be with Ah Ming Ni Wai than to go to town, Xue tingji did have something he wanted to buy, so he went with Pei Li, accompanied by some veteran soldiers in their thirties.

In the past two days, he has been working hard among his colleagues. Xue tingji's image in everyone's mind is not so alienated, especially the veterans who have been working with him for many years, even dare to hook up with him.

One of them made a loud noise and laughed like a ruffian. "I'm going to wipe and rob you, your highness. Would you like to have a try?"

"Hey, what are you talking about?" The other elbowed him to stop talking. "Your highness and miss Pei are more friendly than Jin Jian. Be careful to be punished. I won't be punished with you at that time."

They were chatting enthusiastically, but Xue tingji didn't quite understand. He thought it was to take the training spear to the town for maintenance, but they were empty handed. Obviously they didn't mean that, but they didn't hide it. He asked, "what's a gun cleaning?"Several veterans stopped talking, and the one who started the conversation even laughed, "also It's nothing, your highness. You have the right to be my fault. "

Xue tingji doesn't like the feeling of being concealed. He half squints his eyes and turns to ask Peili, but Peili doesn't understand either. He'd better go to the town and have a look with his own eyes.

They didn't come back until dark when Pei Ming was talking with general tan. After hearing their report, he opened the door for Xue tingji to come in.

Who knows Xue tingji's face is not good-looking, like holding full of anger, low head does not look at her, eyes flashing, I do not know what's on my mind.

She accepted stuffy, very casually hand to hold him, "what's the matter?"

It's clear that it's a common action, but Xue tingji deliberately avoids it and makes her fall. What does he mean?

He also knew that he had upset her, but Xue tingji obviously didn't know how to explain. He came into the room and nodded to general tan. "What do you want to say?"

General Tan could also see that he was different. For a moment, he said, "it's nothing special, just -"

"if it's not urgent, can we talk about it another day?"

It's the first time that he even hesitated to avoid business, which made general Tan puzzled. "What happened to your highness?"

Even if he doesn't reply, Xue tingji's clenched teeth are enough to explain the problem. As a close person, general Tan naturally wants to ask why. However, Xue tingji, who has always been modest to him, is not normal and doesn't want to be questioned too much.

Pei Ming and general Tan look at each other, and then invite Pei Li in for questioning. Pei Li is honest, but blushes too much. "Today and today, several veterans take us to the town, and then --"

unexpectedly, Xue tingji fiercely interrupts him, "Pei Li!" He was too scared to talk.

In front of himself and general Tan, is he so angry? Pei Ming is a little angry and stares at him calmly.

Xue tingji also knew that his tone was too heavy, bowed to apologize, and then took Pei Li to leave, "it's really nothing. I won't disturb you first."

After that, without even waiting for general Tan's permission, Pei Ming turns around and strides away. Pei Ming opens his mouth and wants to keep him. However, he hesitates after seeing his decisive figure.

Can there be anything that would make him such an attitude that he would rather make her angry than explain?
