Chapter 287

It's too cold in winter in Beidi. Rao Shi adds the thickest quilt and can't stop the cold wind leaking through the cracks of the doors and windows. One night Pei Ming catches a little wind, and the next day he has a headache and a stuffy nose, which makes Xue Ting feel nervous for fear that she might have a heart attack again.

"No, it's too shabby to live in. Let's change it."

But the barracks are no better than the imperial city. Their residence is already excellent. There is no good place to look for, but one is absolutely ideal, but he dare not mention it, but Pei Ming knows it.

After pouring bitter medicine, she leaned on the cushion and thought for a while, "my father's general's house has been vacant for many years. It's a waste to be a warehouse. Now I'm a general, so it's reasonable to live in it."

She didn't expect to take the initiative to mention it. Xue tingji didn't know what to look like. Pei Ming said with a smile, "I'm not so vulnerable. Only when I see my father's things can I remember this hatred."

Xue tingji complied and ordered people to clean up. A few days later, he moved into the dusty general's house and counted out a lot of materials and money, as well as a small book.

There are a lot of items in it. Some of them are from Xiongnu, but there is no trade record. I don't know what they are used for.

After turning the book back and forth two or three times, Xue tingji suddenly thought that when he went to Xiongnu, his father-in-law said that the border people of the two countries would exchange things for a living.

All of a sudden, an idea came out. As soon as I had a clue, I heard the sound of the next room and rushed to check. It turned out that Pei Ming accidentally bumped something on the bookshelf.

"Cough..." Choked by the dust, Pei Ming waved his hand and said, "no one at the bottom swept it?"

Xue tingji wiped her face. "It's said that my father-in-law didn't allow people to enter this room before he was alive, so now they don't dare to. Maybe there's something very important."

Holding back his sadness, Pei Ming picks up the fallen object. It's a scroll of paintings. When he opens it, he can see the fine brushwork

It's horrible.

From the crooked lines, we can see that the painting is a young woman, and we can't tell anything else, but Pei Ming can guess that the painting is her mother.

Therefore, when she saw the mottled tears on the paper, the rough and fluffy paper which was obviously repeatedly rubbed, she suddenly felt relieved. It was not bad for her parents to meet in the spring.

After rolling up the scroll, I suddenly heard a series of hasty footsteps. It was Pei Li who came in a hurry. "Your Highness, Da general, the Huns are here."

Pei Ming suddenly tongue, "what, what?"

Pei Li wiped his sweat. "That's Xiong Tukan Danyu. He led the people to the border between the two countries. He said that he had something important to discuss with you two."

Even if it's Patricide and usurpation of the throne, doesn't this person have to pretend to be mourned? It's only been a few days since the armistice. What's the matter.

Xue tingji is impatient. He asks Pei ming to stay here. He goes to send the man who has nothing to do. Pei Ming doesn't dare to let him go. He has to go with him.

As a result, Xue tingji just refused, staring at her with a straight face and a firm attitude.

She didn't understand. She didn't go to war. There was no danger. What was the strength of his opposition? Pei Ming, with one hand in his waist, confronts him with the same expression.

Finally, Xue tingji compromises and glances at Pei Li. He seems to be very concerned about his watching. Pei Lido has the eyesight to leave quickly. After he leaves, Xue tingji clears his throat and winks at Pei Ming.

"He wants to do something wrong with you. What are you doing? You see last time, he -- "the words behind were stabbed back by Pei Ming's poor eyes. What happened last time? What did xiongtukan do to her?

Knowing that she was not happy, Xue tingji's arrogance disappeared seven or eight points. After a moment's hesitation, he still licked his lips and hummed, "he has a pair of eyes sticking to you. Why do you show him? If he can find you anything, you have to come up with it. "

As he breathed slowly, Pei Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at him quietly to see when he could shut up.

In her eyes, Xue Ting felt that the cold wind around him was really piercing, but his position remained unchanged.

Pei Ming, on the other hand, shrunk his mouth and asked him a question that made him speechless. "Your Highness, is there any reason why the generals of the two countries do not show up when they meet?"

Xue tingji is completely speechless. Under the stalemate between the two sides, Xue tingji admits defeat. He can't beat the general. Let's order someone to prepare the horse.

Today's wind and snow is particularly heavy, the horse's hooves are deep and shallow, and it's hard to get to the hillside of the border.

There were not many Xiongnu soldiers on the opposite side. They sat on horseback one by one and were not affected by the strong wind at all. Xiongtukan at the front half narrowed his eyes and did not let go of any movement in front.

It's not easy to see Pei Ming's figure. First he is secretly pleased, and then he complains that he is not good to Xue tingji at all. Do you need her to help you block everything

With a sharp frown, Xue tingji deliberately rides his horse in front of Pei Ming and refuses to give him a chance to peep. "If you hadn't bothered her, she wouldn't have come here to watch out for you."The words aroused xiongtukan's displeasure, and the two men's posture of choking each other became more and more fierce. They almost drew a sword against each other and completely forgot the original intention of this trip.

Pei Ming, speechless, raised his forehead and came out to salute xiongtu kanlue. Then he said, "what's the matter with your highness?"

Although her tone was cold, xiongtukan was still very happy that she was willing to talk to herself. She ignored Xue tingji and pointed out her intention directly.

In the past, if they were short of something, they just went to Darong to rob them. Now the two countries are truce, and he doesn't want to be a robber. So if Darong wants to live in peace, he will find a way out.

It's really interesting. Can it be this attitude to ask for help? Xue tingji sneered, "it's the same as if you want to get it. How many of you Xiongnu can get on the horse?"

Xiongtu Kan lowered his eyebrows when he heard the speech, while Pei Ming kicked Xue tingji's calf. "He likes to talk, but he is less complacent."

Xue tingji was not really insignificant. Since the Xiongnu wanted to seek a peaceful way of life, he was naturally willing to cooperate, "what do you think?"

Xiongtukan didn't go around the Bush and made clear his plans that he had already imagined.

He wanted food, cloth and other necessities of life. If he didn't rob them, he would change them. The Xiongnu had strong horses, cattle and sheep, as well as medicinal materials that Darong didn't have.

It used to be a secret exchange between civilians, but now it's in the open. In fact, it's a good thing. Although they are not businessmen, who is not willing to do business.

He and Pei Ming look at each other and agree with each other. Xue tingji stops making provocations and asks how much xiongtukan needs.

This xiongtukan was also calculated. But when he reported the figures, he saw Xue tingji's expression was quite shocked. He looked down and thought for a while, and then whispered something with Pei Ming.
