Zheng Pei's worries were not completely unreasonable. Although Emperor Zhou and Pang Xiao called each other brothers, Emperor Zhou was also very afraid of the large number of troops in his hands. When Pang Xiao was fighting outside, Emperor Zhou had taken Pang Xiao's mother, grandfather, and grandmother into the palace several times to take care of them.
On the surface, it was said to be dignified and to be filial to Pang Xiao on behalf of his brother, but in reality, it was a kind of threat to Pang Xiao. If Pang Xiao dared to rebel or was unwilling to obey, then it was very likely that the old man would "die of illness" in the palace.
Because of this, Pang Xiao had been very angry, but he had also been very patient.
Now that he was so angry, it must be that the Emperor had done something like this again.
Pang Xiao's face was cold and he did not speak.
Huzi looked at Pang Xiao's expression and picked up the note to take a look. He shouted in surprise, "Shameless old dog Yuchi! He wants to dig out Fourth Young Miss's heart and smash it together with the bones and meat for the bitch of the Cao Family to eat, saying that it is to preserve her youth! This is simply worse than pigs and dogs! "
Zheng Pei took the note from Huzi's hand and carefully read it. He frowned.
"Wang Ye, you should be concerned about the rear affairs now. It's fine that you left a guard for Fourth Young Miss Qin, but why do you often pay attention to Dayan? If someone has something on you, aren't you afraid that someone will accuse you of treason and collusion with the enemy? What's more, who is Young Miss Qin? Her father is Qin Meng! She is the daughter of your father's murderer! How can you do this? How can you face your father by doing this?! "
Zheng Pei was Pang Zhongzheng's aide. At that time, Pang Zhongzheng felt that he was going to ruin things, so he made some arrangements in advance.
He had escaped death and was bent on revenge. First, he drugged Qin Huaiyuan several times to end his life. Then, he swapped Qin Huaiyuan's only daughter, all for the sake of seeing Qin Huaiyuan suffer when he found out the truth one day.
As for finding Pang Xiao, it was completely based on a small matter in his memory.
At that time, when Madam Meng drove away the Yao Clan, he happened to bump into her. After Pang Zhongzheng's family died, he found the whereabouts of the Yao Clan just to try his luck. He didn't expect that the Yao Clan would really be lucky once and become pregnant.
Later, when Li Qitian revolted, it was Li Qitian, Zheng Pei found the Yao Family and brought the 14-year-old Pang Xiao was brought into the army to be trained.
. Also, Pang Xiao was not even a concubine's child's son's. He was not even a consort's son's son was not even a concubine's was''s's son. Zheng was was was was's and he was was of him was considered a concubine's...'s he was was was was was was' ''s son's.............. He.
Therefore, no matter how powerful Pang Xiao was now, no matter how frightening his name was, Zheng Pei still looked down on him. If he found out that Pang Xiao did something wrong, he would still teach him a lesson.
In the past, Pang Xiao was very respectful to Zheng Pei.
Today, he didn't answer. He just sat quietly at the head of the table. His sharp eyebrows revealed a faint coldness. His cold eyes, tempered on the battlefield, fell on Zheng Pei, making Zheng Pei's heart tremble.
"Little Wang Ye?" Zheng Pei's voice was a little dry.
Pang Xiao chuckled and said, "Mr. Zheng, I think there is something you must not understand."
Zheng Pei cupped his hands and said, "Little Wang Ye, please advise me."
Pang Xiao stood up and walked step by step towards Zheng Pei with his hands behind his back. His aura was like a towering mountain, oppressing Zheng Pei so much that he couldn't help but take two steps back and lower his head.
"Mr. Zheng, don't forget that This King is the master and you are the servant."
Zheng Pei heard this and suddenly widened his eyes. He raised his head and looked at Pang Xiao in disbelief. His face flushed red and he was so angry that his beard trembled. "Wang Ye, what do you mean?"
"Obviously, Mr. Zheng has forgotten his identity. Or do you think that This King is still the young boy who can be manipulated by others? "
Manipulated by others?
He actually thought that?!
Zheng Pei's face became more and more purple. "Little Wang Ye, what do you mean? This old man can't afford to be manipulated! Don't forget that if this old man didn't mention it to His Majesty, you would be … "
"If Mr. Zheng didn't mention it to His Majesty, I would still be called Yao Xiaoyao. I would still be filial to my mother, grandfather, and grandmother in a small town. I could still run a small restaurant. When I was happy, I would cook a few dishes. When I was depressed, I would call a few friends to drink and have fun. Even if I couldn't be an official or become rich, I would still be happy and live a carefree life. I wouldn't be thrown into a battlefield full of broken limbs and blood at such a young age. I wouldn't have to survive in the cracks under suspicion and pressure! And I wouldn't be scolded by a servant like a grandson! "
Pang Xiao's words made Huzi's eyes fill with tears and Zheng Pei's face turn pale.
"You follow This King, but you don't know your identity. Do you still think that This King is the young boy who hasn't seen the world? Since you've already pulled This King into this circle, and This King has climbed to this height with his own efforts, then everything is no longer under your control! "
"Don't talk about revenge for killing his father. This King has never seen his father, nor does he have a jealous and vicious official mother. This King has no feelings for the Pang Family. This King's surname was Yao from the beginning! It was you who forced This King to change his name in order to use Pang Zhongzheng's banner! "
"You …"
"Is This King not right? You've used This King enough. You didn't expect This King to break free from your control, did you? You can also write this in the secret report to Your Majesty, telling This King's words today to Your Majesty! "
Zheng Pei's eyes suddenly widened. His lips trembled and his body trembled.
He knew! He didn't expect him to know!
Huzi looked at Zheng Pei in disbelief and murmured, "Mr. Zheng, you … How could you …" In his mind, the person who had always been loyal and devoted to Wang Ye was actually a spy arranged by the Emperor to stay by Little Wang Ye's side?
Pang Xiao snorted coldly and sat back in his seat. He said sternly, "Mr. Zheng, This King spared your life because of Father. After all, you've been loyal to Father all your life. But This King warns you, don't have any ideas about Qin Si! And you're not allowed to be disrespectful in front of This King! If you stretch your hands too far, you'll be chopped off! "
Zheng Pei had received a lot of attention for many years. His status in the army was also extraordinary. He didn't expect Pang Xiao to be so merciless in admonishing him.
He lost face and said angrily, "Little Wang Ye suspects that I'm not loyal, and I have nothing to say. But Little Wang Ye shouldn't have, shouldn't have, shouldn't have, and the daughter of his enemy …"
"Back then, Father's achievements shocked the Emperor, and he was already feared by the fatuous Emperor. Otherwise, how could a small plot to sow discord take Father's life? You clearly know that the fatuous Emperor was just a bait. The real enemy has never been Qin Meng, but the fatuous Emperor! Your actions of venting your anger on Qin Meng's family are simply incompetent and ignorant of gratitude and grudges! "
"This King has already avenged Father's death! This King destroyed Northern Ji and killed the fatuous Emperor. This King caught the treacherous officials who instigated the fatuous Emperor and cut them into pieces! The old officials of Northern Ji still hate This King and call This King a devil behind his back. If This King's actions don't count as revenge, then what does? Could it be counted as Mr. Zheng venting your anger on an infant girl without distinguishing between gratitude and grudges? If This King is disloyal and unfilial, then Mr. Zheng's actions of wavering between This King and Your Majesty are considered loyal and filial? "
One question after another made Zheng Pei's face turn ghastly pale. For a moment, he was speechless.
Originally, Zheng Pei was full of reason, but when Pang Xiao said that he had been secretly communicating with His Majesty through letters, he lost his confidence. At this moment, he couldn't tell why his blood was surging. He only hated that he couldn't stay away from Pang Xiao's side. He didn't want to see those eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything!
Zheng Pei pursed his lips, cupped his hands, and turned to leave.
This time, Huzi didn't immediately chase after him. Instead, he looked at Pang Xiao worriedly.
"Master, if Mr. Zheng tells Your Majesty about what happened today, then Your Majesty will be even more afraid of you."
"Your Majesty has never been less afraid of This King! This King is humble, but he is also afraid of This King's military power. Even if This King gives up his military power, he is still afraid of This King's prestige in the military. Even if This King doesn't have the prestige in the military, he will still be afraid of Tianming. "
Pang Xiao snorted coldly. His bony fingers tapped on the armrest of the round chair. "This King has long known Mr. Zheng's thoughts. By exposing him today, I will prevent him from thinking too highly of himself and doing something that This King has no choice but to kill him. In the end, his loyalty to his father is also real. "
Huzi nodded. Thinking about Pang Xiao's words and carefully thinking about Pang Xiao's experiences over the years, he felt a wave of sadness in his heart. Wang Ye had come to this point and endured this huge pressure because he had no choice!
Seeing that Pang Xiao's face was still cold, Huzi rolled his eyes and changed the topic to Qin Yining.
"That old dog Yuchi is so vicious. I wonder how Fourth Miss is doing now. Wang Ye, do you want to think of a way to help Fourth Miss? "
Sure enough, at the mention of Qin Yining, Pang Xiao's cold expression was somewhat restrained, and the corners of his lips curved up into a warm smile.
"You don't have to worry. Didn't Ji Yun say that they are heading to Fairy Lady Temple? Sister Yi must have thought of a countermeasure. Just wait and see. There will be follow-up news before tomorrow. "
Huzi raised his eyebrows and said, "Wang Ye really has confidence in Fourth Miss."
"Of course. How can someone that This King has his eyes on not be able to handle such a small matter?"
Huzi heard this and secretly criticized in his heart, but on the surface, he agreed with him.
Sure enough, the next day, news from Dayan came.
Pang Xiao looked at the contents of the note and couldn't help but laugh. The more he laughed, the more hearty he became. In the end, he threw the note to Huzi and laughed to himself.
Huzi took the note and curiously read it carefully. He couldn't help but admire him and said, "Fourth Miss can think of this method. In this way, won't that shut up that old dog Yuchi's mouth? But you said that Fourth Miss went to Fairy Lady Temple. Could it be that she knows that Fairy Lady Liu is a Tian Jizi? Otherwise, why would she dare to use the name of Tian Jizi to spread rumors? "
"No. She shouldn't know. " Pang Xiao thought carefully and laughed again, "She must have taken money to ask Fairy Lady Liu to pretend to be a Tian Jizi. That bald guy, wouldn't his hands be tired of collecting money? "
Thinking of this, Pang Xiao suddenly changed his expression and said, "Tell people to immediately secretly keep an eye on Fairy Lady Temple. Pay close attention to Tian Jizi's movements."
Huzi heard this and was startled, "Why? Wang Ye is afraid that Tian Jizi will run away? "
Pang Xiao just smiled and said, "Send another post to 'Mu Tou'. Tell him that This King will visit the day after tomorrow."
Huzi was even more surprised, "Wang Ye, you plan to let Mr. Mu fulfill the bet?"
"The son pays the father's debt. Tian Jizi is his master. If his master runs away, isn't it normal to find him to pay the debt? Don't you think so? "
What don't you think …
