"Fearless brother, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Wu Mingche smiled and arched his hand.

The man standing at the front of the greeting queue had turned white, and he looked much older than Xiao Maha, but he had a strong posture in his every move, and at a glance he knew that he should be from a military background. This person is Pei Ji, the official of Nanchen Capital, who is fearless.

Hearing such words, Li Xinchen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The taboo is obviously the grandparents who hope that this person can judge the situation and act according to his ability, and have taboos in the world, but his words are the opposite, which is indeed a bit unexpected. However, in connection with Pei Ji's identity as a family member of Wenxi, it is reasonable to have such a deep and introverted name and table with a domineering background.

Seeing Wu Mingche, Pei Ji hurriedly stepped forward: "The last time I met Ming Gong was when I recovered Huainan, now I think about it, four years have passed, I haven't seen him for four years, Ming Gong is the same as before, his body is very strong!" ”

"Dauntless, don't laugh at my old bones." Wu Mingche said with a smile, coughing lightly, "It's old, it's useless!" ”

At the beginning, Wu Mingche was in command of the Northern Expedition, which had the credit of Pei Ji's recommendation, and then Pei Ji led the division to attack Yuzhou to help Wu Mingche clear the obstacles on the flank, it can be said that the two have the friendship of the same stream in the court, and the friendship of fighting side by side on the battlefield, there is such a deep friendship, even if it is not polite to speak on this dock.

Pei Ji stepped aside and made a gesture of please: "It's windy on the dock, Ming Gong should get into the carriage first, since Xia Guan came to greet Ming Gong and General Zuo Wei at the behest of His Majesty, naturally he can't let Ming Gong do anything." ”

"The wind and waves have come, will you be afraid of this little wind?" Wu Mingche chuckled lightly and stretched out his hand, "Come, Fearless, the old man will introduce you, this is the general of the Left Guard." ”

Xiao Maha hurriedly stepped forward to salute, for him, Pei Ji was an old minister of the dynasty and a famous general of the Northern Expedition, so he naturally deserved to salute respectfully.

Obviously, he was quite curious about the successor personally selected by this old man, Pei Ji looked Xiao Maha up and down, and said while returning the salute: "At the beginning, a certain leader led a partial division to Yuzhou, but he never met with General Zuowei, but today I can see that General Zuowei is heroic and burly, and he is not an ordinary person!" ”

"Shangshu has a good reputation." Xiao Maha bowed his head slightly, neither humble nor arrogant.

Pei Ji was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "This humility is really an appetite for so-and-so!" ”

However, Pei Ji then reached out and pulled Xiao Maha's sleeve, grabbed his hand and patted it: "But we are all from the army, so we don't need to be so modest and polite!" This speaks······ It's very troublesome, some things should be said, some things must not be said, and different people have to say different things, in the old man's place, if there is anything to say, the old man still likes to have something to say! ”

Xiao Maha nodded: "The last general will be taught!" ”

And Wu Mingche squinted, but didn't say anything.

Pei Zilie, who respectfully followed behind Wu Mingche, raised his head slightly and looked at Li Xinchen on the side. Li Xinchen smiled slightly, Pei Ji said so many twists and turns as soon as he met Xiao Maha on the dock, firstly, it may be that he appreciated Xiao Maha and revealed his true feelings, and secondly, it was also possible that he was telling Xiao Maha and Wu Mingche that there are treacherous things in this capital, and you must not leak a little wind when you should control your mouth.

It's just that I don't know what Pei Ji means, how much does Xiao Maha understand?

Pei Ji made another gesture of please this time, and Wu Mingche didn't shirk anymore and walked towards the carriage. At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a eunuch hurried into the dock surrounded by palace guards. After all, this Jiankang Mansion is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the people on the dock have more or less seen the scene, knowing that these palaces come out, they are slaves inside, and they are the kings of heaven outside.

Pei Ji turned around slowly, looking at this group of people galloping over with indescribable emotions in his eyes. The eunuch was obviously not a person who couldn't handle the seriousness, no matter how arrogant he was in front of the common people, the few people standing at the end of this dock were not something he could provoke.

Before the horse could stop, the eunuch flew off his horse, bowed in the direction of the palace, and then turned his head and said: "Your Majesty has issued an edict to summon Sikong, Duguan Shangshu and General Zuowei to enter the palace together. ”

Although it is a message from His Majesty, the eunuch bowed his head slightly, and his tone also carried a sense of respect that was easily detected, and his respect for Wu Mingche and others was overflowing, which was not only a manifestation of this eunuch's good at handling, but also showed that His Majesty did not want to ask for guilt.

Pei Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and Wu Mingche and Xiao Maha subconsciously glanced at each other, His Majesty let Pei Ji, the official Shangshu, come to greet him, which was already a lot of treatment, and now he was in a hurry to summon him before the two of them could take a breath, and the meaning of grace was self-evident.

In this way, His Majesty's attention to the Battle of Luliang and the change of generations in the army is even more than Wu Mingche and Xiao Maha originally expected.

"Boqing, you take the rest of the people back first, Shizhong is a guest, don't be lazy." Xiao Maha turned around and ordered, "Dashi, after months of fighting and a long journey, I must be tired, don't let Pei Shilang worry, go back and report safety, and send Xiao's greetings by the way." ”

Pei Zilie's expression was dazed, and he hurriedly arched his hand: "The younger generation should be like this, please rest assured that the general." ”

Xiao Maha specially told him that he had care and trust, and of course Pei Zilie couldn't slack off.

Glancing at Xiao Maha and Pei Zilie with some curiosity, Pei Ji shook his head slightly. Wu Tongzhao, an old fellow, is really determined to help Xiao Maha ascend to the throne, otherwise he would not allow his closest generals to get so close to Xiao Maha.

"Hurry up and enter the palace, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time." Wu Mingche said in a deep voice and walked forward.

Looking at the figures of Wu Mingche and the others, Li Xinchen frowned slightly. Wu Mingche's old fox-like efforts were kept out of the way, the string of words that Pei Ji said in a hurry just after they met, and the eunuch's respect for Wu Mingche and Xiao Maha······ The mountains in this capital are just a corner exposed, and they are already unfathomable, I don't know how much else Li Xinchen didn't see?

"It's getting more and more interesting." Pei Zilie, who was standing on Li Xinchen's side, muttered, he had been by Wu Mingche's side for a long time, although he was not good at the art of power scheme, it didn't mean that he couldn't see through it, "This water is unexpectedly muddy!" ”

With a wry smile, Li Xinchen's gaze finally fell on Xiao Maha.

After this historically proud general who was proud of the battlefield and frustrated in the sea entered the capital, I don't know if the pool of water in the capital will be calm?

The few people standing here now are grasshoppers on a thread, Xiao Maha is good, it is beneficial and harmless to them after all.
