The person coming was Pei Zhang.

Pei Jue shouted in a hoarse voice: "Brother". He wiped his tears with his hands. But the more tears they wiped, they couldn't wipe them clean.

Pei Zhang sighed softly: "I feel tired and uncomfortable, so I just cry if I want to. There are only two of us brothers here, and there is no man who has the utmost care that he will not cry easily. I won't laugh at you."

Pei Jue covered his face with both hands and started crying in a low voice.

Pei Zhang did not speak out and was silently accompanying him.

After a long time, Pei Jue's crying stopped. He wiped away the tears with his sleeves, his eyes were red, and his voice was particularly mute: "I'm sorry, brother. I felt sad for a moment and couldn't help but cry."

Pei Zhang whispered to comfort: "It's good to cry. People have times when they are weak."

Pei Jue looked at his brother who had lost weight and couldn't help asking: "Brother, have you cried in the past two months?"

Pei Zhang fell silent, and after a moment, he said, "No."

He shoulders heavy responsibilities and dares not neglect and slack for a moment. Where can he still have time to cry with emotion?

Pei Jue obviously thought of this and felt a little ashamed: "To put it bluntly, the one who is most tiring is the eldest brother. There are so many tribe members who have to make decisions on big and small things along the way. I am too useless to be alone."

"Don't say that."

Pei Zhang relaxed his brows slightly: "I am a few years older than you. I went to the palace early to study and worked in the palace for a few years. Of course, I have a better understanding than you. Along the way, you follow my instructions in everything and are my right-hand man. Without your help, how could I be busy alone?"

Pei Jue felt a little embarrassed by Pei Zhang's praise: "I'm not as good as my elder brother said."

Pei Zhang laughed: "You are better than I praise you. In fact, I have thought before that when you surrender Princess Shouning becomes the prince of the Great Chu, your father would be the prince of the Great Chu. My father would like to ask you to be the prince. I am too stubborn and unwilling to adapt. You are much gentler than me and better than me."

Pei Jue immediately responded: "Brother, don't be embarrassed by me. It's all my father's anger at you and I deliberately praised me. I understand clearly in my heart. No one in the Pei family is as outstanding as my elder brother. I am convinced by the eldest brother as the prince."

After saying that, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Forget it, now that I have fallen to this point, it's meaningless to say this."

yes!

Once a person dies, all the grudges will be eliminated. No matter how much he hates Yong'an Hou, it is his own father. Only when the news of Yong'an Hou's death reached his ears did he realize how painful he was.

Pei Zhang turned his head and calmed for a moment before turning back.

Pei Zhang's eyes were a little red.

Pei Jue suddenly felt a little sad.

My brother is only four years older than him. He used to be smooth sailing and glorious, and he was the emperor's confidant. In one night, he became the son of a criminal minister and his future was ruined. He had to lead so many people to a completely unfamiliar place to survive.

This heavy burden fell on Pei Zhang's shoulders.

It is absolutely not pleasant to fall from the clouds into the mud. Pei Zhang not only cannot express any of it, but also has to be strong and calm. Only in front of him did Pei Zhang occasionally reveal a trace of weakness.

The two brothers were silent for a long time.

...

After a long time, Pei Jue opened his mouth and broke his silence: "Brother, if we continue like this, how long will it take for us to reach the exile place?"

The land of Lingnan has a vast area, many mountains and forests, humid, heat and rainy, and many natives. It is known as the land of Baiyue. They were exiled to Jiuzhen, Nanyue.

"After entering Lingnan, we have to cross mountains and rivers. At our current speed, we have to go for more than a month. It is twice as long as we expected at the beginning."

Pei Zhang also felt helpless in his voice: "But it can't be faster. Now I walk the official road, and the sick are sick, the heatstroke is the heatstroke. The next road is even more difficult."

Pei Jue whispered with red eyes: "Three dead are already dead. I don't know who will leave us when it comes to Jiuzhen."

In the past, he was not so close to the Pei family. There were even many other tribes who did not know him at all. It was not until the Pei family was in trouble that the Pei family was exiled together. Pei Jue realized what a tribe with the same spirit was.

Pei Zhang's eyes were dim and he whispered: "Second brother, 30% of his death during the exile were common."

"We have the care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Commander Li provides us with convenience everywhere. The He family's personal soldiers are escorting him, and the Medical Officer Cheng is doing his best to save the Pei family. At present, only three have died, all of them are old, weak and weak. This is already a rare thing, and we should be grateful in our hearts."

A water light flashed in Pei Jue's eyes: "I'm not ignorant of gratitude. But when I watched them die one by one, I led the young and middle-aged tribes to dig a hole and bury them one by one in a foreign land. I felt really sad."

"Especially the four-year-old child, he is born weak. If he is carefully raised in the inner house, he may not be able to grow up safely. But he cannot withstand the bumps and tossing of the road."

"When I think of this, I feel extremely uncomfortable."

"Brother, I have been thinking in my heart for the past two months. Why did the Pei family suddenly suffer this disaster? What did my father do, why was he suddenly executed and affect his tribe members?"

Pei Jue raised his head and looked directly at Pei Zhang.

This is the fifth time Pei Jue has asked this question.

Pei Zhang's answer was the same as before: "There are too many things involved. There are some secrets that are not good if you know them, but it's just a burden in your heart. Second brother, stop asking!"

Pei Jue did not stubbornly ask for the answer, but only whispered: "Brother doesn't want to say it, so I'll wait a few days before asking. One day, my brother will be willing to tell me the secret."

"I don't have much ability. But I can at least share this heavy secret with my elder brother."

Pei Zhang's eyes were slightly hot, and he turned his head aside again.

This time, it was Pei Jue's turn to pat Pei Zhang on the shoulder: "Brother, you don't have to hold everything in your heart. If you have any boredom or unhappy things, tell me, and it may be fine soon."

Pei Zhang calmed down and said no.

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

At this moment, the door was knocked hard, and a slightly urgent voice of tangerine peel sounded outside the door: "Pei Grand Master Pei Second Master, Madam is in a bad situation. Our Master, please go immediately."

Pei Zhang was shocked and responded without thinking and quickly opened the door.

Pei Jue also quickly chased after him.

Since leaving the capital, Mrs. Yong'an Hou has been ill intermittently and has not recovered. She has developed a low fever in the past two days. Cheng Jinghong wanted to take care of many patients, so he ordered Chen Pi to stay by the side of Mrs. Yong'an Hou.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Mrs. Yong'an Hou suddenly spasmed and said nonsense. It seemed that it was going to be bad. Cheng Jinghong did not dare to be careless and immediately asked Chen Pi to invite Pei Zhang and Pei Jue to come.
