This time, Shi Feiyu didn't even need to speak. Three people behind him immediately chased him out on horseback.

Those gangsters sent by Li Shen realized something was wrong as soon as they saw Pei Liang blocking the army. When the two fire-headed soldiers were executed neatly, how could they dare to stay?

At that time, I was so frightened that I turned around and ran back.

Seeing someone chasing after him on horseback, he immediately rushed down the official road and burrowed into the rice fields and grass on both sides.

It is not easy to chase three soldiers, they are just a few scoundrels and not worthy of hindering the progress of the march.

Pei Liang was also satisfied with the result. To be honest, it would be more troublesome if those gangsters were killed like this.

Li Shen would definitely conduct a thorough investigation if someone died outside the city. There were few witnesses around at the moment, so it would not be wonderful for him to find out that Pei Fugui and his wife were in their hometown.

It would be less painful if a few gangsters saw their family of three leave with the army.

As she expected, several gangsters fled back to the city in embarrassment and told Li Shen that the three members of the Pei family had left with the bandit-suppressing army.

Although Li Shen deeply hated this woman for being cunning, he had no choice but to sneer: "She will never return to the capital unless she lives in this life."

At this time, it was noon, and Shi Feiyu also ordered to stop and rest, and began to make rice in the pot.

This place was almost thirty miles away from the capital, which was quite far. Only then did Shi Feiyu order people to bring Pei Liang and the couple up.

He took a look at the three people. The couple's reaction was normal. They were timid and frightened. They followed them for so long without daring to complain. The eyes they looked at Pei Liang were full of regret.

According to the confidant's observations throughout the morning and the occasional conversations between the three of them, these two were not actually familiar with the woman.

Shi Feiyu asked: "Aren't you a family?"

"no."

Pei Liang said: "The decline of my family's business is due to my father's gambling. Now that the family cannot establish a foothold in the capital, the little girl plans to go south to join her uncle. She really couldn't bear to travel thousands of miles with her parents, so she settled them in her hometown in the countryside."

"I was just afraid of the villain's revenge, so I discussed with the elders of the clan to hide my whereabouts, and hired these two people to pretend that I was traveling with my parents, so that the enemies would see our family leaving Beijing."

Shi Feiyu knew from the morning that this woman had reported the matter in public that she was a thoughtful and bold person. Now that he heard her explanation, he was even more convinced.

The information revealed in just a few sentences is quite a lot. With her parents who have been involved in many scandals, a woman is helpless in terms of etiquette. However, this woman turns around and asks the elders of the clan to take off the burden for her, and uses their influence to hire someone to pretend to be...

A family of three, preventing enemies from pursuing and retaliating.

Tianxiang Tower just changed owners yesterday. In less than a day, it has been able to get rid of the two dilemmas that ordinary people have no choice but to do. It is really remarkable.

This careful thought and bold decision-making, if she heard a few words leaked by the idiot second brother in the restaurant, and connected them together to know the whole conspiracy, it actually proves that she really has this ability.

Shi Feiyu's eyes flashed, this woman is a useful talent.

He asked some more questions, and Pei Liang still answered fluently without any trace of fabrication.

Shi Feiyu also understood that with this woman's scheming attitude, it was impossible for her to reveal any flaws in these issues.

The end of his eyes closed, and the atmosphere of serious questioning was no longer there for a second. Pei Liang suddenly felt like he was draining the value of the questioning and was enveloped by murderous intent.

Shi Feiyu looked at the three of them as if they were dead objects.

The couple was so frightened that their legs were weak and they knelt down. They quickly explained their origins again and begged for mercy.

Shi Feiyu's eyes were always on Pei Liang, and he said in a deep voice: "Although there is no flaw in your words, you are far away from the capital at this time, so there is no way to verify it."

"Even if your identity and origin are true, is this coincidence not a game within a game that the second brother knows that the Huotou Army cannot be trusted?"

"It's troublesome to simply seek verification, in order to eliminate hidden dangers——"

As he spoke, the guards behind him had already begun to draw their swords.

The couple was so frightened that they almost fainted, but Pei Liang's heart dropped when he saw this.

Shi Feiyu is right. He is in a complicated situation. As the eldest son of the family, his biological mother died young and his biological father disliked him. His stepmother treated him even more harshly after she came in.

Now that he has grown up and holds the title of eldest son, Shi Feiyu's father is partial, but as long as he is not at fault, he still has to inherit the title and family business.

This time, Shi Feiyu was ordered to suppress bandits. If he was allowed to come back after making great achievements, I am afraid that with a direct imperial edict, the plans of Mrs. Shi and the Second Young Master would come to nothing.

In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, the mother and son's methods were stupid and vicious, with no regard for the overall situation.

Shi Feiyu is a cautious person. In the original work, he did have a near miss and avoided the conspiracy, and finally uncovered two spies.

As he said, if Pei Liang was setting a trap based on his character, it would be reasonable to directly sacrifice the two fire-headed soldiers to gain his trust.

But both Pei Liang and himself knew that if Shi's wife, Shi Er's mother and son had such brains, Shi Feiyu would not be able to grow up.

Moreover, what Shi Feiyu was planning was not at all a mere achievement of suppressing bandits.

Nowadays, although prosperous places like Jingcheng and Jiangnan are enjoying peace and prosperity, in fact the entire dynasty has come to an end.

In recent years, there have been successive disasters in various places, and the people are in dire straits. In many places, there has been a phenomenon of turning grasses into bandits and occupying mountains and becoming kings. There have even been several groups of peasant uprisings.

Due to various reasons, Shi Feiyu has no loyalty to the current royal family, but saw an opportunity when the world was in chaos.

At this time, Shi Feiyu even felt that his unfathomable ambition was wishful thinking, but he was instinctively recruiting all valuable people and things.

This man was decisive in killing, and Pei Liang admitted that he was gambling. But if he really wanted to kill someone now, the three of them would have had their necks wiped like the fire-headed soldiers just now, and they would draw the knife slowly and show off.

, to clearly scare people.

Pei Liang said: "But hasn't the General of the Midway Division already sent people to return to the capital to find out the matter? Counting the time, we should be back soon."

"Bandits have been a problem along the tribute road for a long time. Even if we march slowly, the bandits will not run away. But the division general is unwilling to waste a moment. Presumably he is worried that if he is late, one more innocent people or passing caravans may be killed."

"The little girl believes that a person who loves the people and cares about things will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Shi Feiyu smiled: "Ordinary women are not as deep-minded and fearless as you. You don't hide your clumsiness and show your intelligence everywhere, and you don't hold back even at the risk of making me more suspicious. If you just want to use the opportunity to escape right and wrong,

It’s just unnecessary.”

Shi Feiyu supported his chin with one hand, tilted his head slightly, and his inky hair poured down——

"You want to come with us?"

Pei Liang missed her status as an all-powerful rich woman again. She looked away with difficulty and immediately admitted: "Yes, I have admired the division general for a long time. I was trapped by the family business and did not dare to deviate from it."

"Now that I have nothing, it gives me the opportunity to do whatever I want. This time I plan to go to the south of the Yangtze River, firstly to hone my skills, and secondly to stand out. I don't have many advantages, but my mind is quite meticulous. If the division general takes a fancy to it——

"

At this time, the guards had already retracted their knives. When they heard Pei Liang's words, they were not surprised and found it quite novel.

Because their master is handsome and has the appearance of a human being, there are many women who express their love openly or covertly.

It's just that few people use this as a breakthrough. After all, not many women in the boudoir dare to go out alone, let alone reveal their ambitions with bold words.

Several people couldn't help but peek at their master's reaction, but they couldn't figure out why.

After a moment, they heard their master nod: "Then you can follow for now."

Shi Feiyu doesn't need to worry too much. This woman's performance from the time she appeared to the present is enough to prove that she is meticulous, courageous, strategic and ambitious.

Judging from the information obtained by the spies who came back, her origins and background are not false, but it cannot be proved that it is credible. However, she can see through the conspiracy from just a few words, and she can instantly connect any information she has for her own use, easily

Get out of trouble neatly.

Given time, as long as your luck is good, you won't have to worry about getting ahead.

And this woman also knows very well that she has no courage and ambition now, but she is just a lonely and weak woman. If there is no one to protect her, she goes to the south of the Yangtze River with a huge amount of money and she is beautiful. She may not be able to arrive safely.

Any admiration for such a scheming and ambitious woman is too much, but for a commoner who has made enemies in the capital, it is not a bad choice to attach herself to a powerful man with a promising future.

So from the beginning, she was showing her own value, or expectations. The other party seemed to be vaguely in tune with her ambitions that she had never exposed.

The origins of both sides are clean, and Shi Feiyu also recognizes the other party's unusualness. With a smooth journey, if there is a chance that he will soar into the sky, it is really exciting.

Seeing that the other party agreed to provide protection, Pei Liang said generously: "Then please let the general of the division release these two people. They are indeed strangers to me."

Shi Feiyu nodded, and the couple got up and prepared to leave as if they had received an amnesty.

Pei Liang stopped him quickly and gave him twice the agreed price. He apologized and said, "You two were frightened because I dragged you down. This is your reward."

"You'd better change off your clothes and destroy them before you two leave. I saw it just now. I'm trying to avoid my enemies. If I expose my flaws, I might suffer a big disaster."

The couple really wanted to pick up a piece of clothing for nothing. After all, the Pei family was rich and the Pei Fugui couple had good food and clothing, so the two pieces of clothing would be a sum of money.

After Pei Liang reminded them, the two of them no longer wanted to be greedy for petty gains. They knew that it would be safe to keep the matter in their stomachs when they returned home. They took the money, changed clothes, and left with great gratitude.

When Shi Feiyu saw that the other party was meticulous and considered other people's situations, his evaluation became even higher.

At this time, the soldiers had set up the stove and brought water to boil.

Pei Liang said: "I am a cook, so I can take over the work of those two fire-headed soldiers."

Qiu Sanxiang, the guard beside Shi Feiyu, rolled his eyes and said, "You're not that trustworthy yet."

On the other side, Ying Siji, who came from a good background, smiled: "There is nothing to say about Chef Pei's craftsmanship, but during the march and fighting, the food is rough, there are no all kinds of seasonings, and the time is tight, you can't even use half of your skills."

It’s done, it’s fine as long as it’s almost the same, there’s no need to bother.”

Several hundred of them traveled lightly, each carrying only half a month's worth of rations, which were the basic equipment for marching and fighting.

A total of fifteen kilograms of fried rice and fried noodles, with a certain amount of salt brine, dried black beans and steamed cakes soaked in vinegar repeatedly. After drying, you can use soybean-sized pieces each time for seasoning.

I had just left Beijing at this moment, and I also brought some scattered items such as bacon and vegetables for easy storage. Since I could supply supplies when I arrived at a bandit-infested area, I didn’t carry too much to hinder my journey.

It can be slightly improved in places such as inn towns, but don't worry about the quality of food in the wild mountains.

Pei Liang came out in a hurry and didn't bring much dry food. Qiu Sanxiang was rude, but he also gave her the food rations for one of the two fire-headed soldiers who were executed: "Here, you can handle it yourself, big brother"
