It turned out to be a temptation.

Zheng Peng looked Cui Xiyi up and down, and said with some feeling: "Brother Xiyi, even if it is a temptation, you don't have to embellish yourself like this, don't hide it from you, I didn't dare to recognize you just now." ”

The beautiful boy became a street coolie, and he did it.

Cui Xiyi said with a wry smile: "I'm not afraid of Brother Feiteng's jokes, this outfit is my usual outfit, and I didn't deliberately disguise myself to deceive." ”

Zheng Peng paused for a moment, and said in disbelief: "Brother Xiyi, are you lurking here?" ”

"It's almost, it's a little more advanced than the fine work."

"Advanced? How is a high law? ”

"Brother Feiteng, have you heard of bad people?"

Bad guys?

Zheng Peng said in surprise: "Is it the most mysterious organization in the Tang Dynasty, the bad people who directly obey the emperor?" ”

The understanding of bad people, Zheng Peng learned from an anime in later generations, and later checked the information, only to understand that there is indeed this mysterious organization, it is said that it was founded by Yuan Tiangang, the purpose is to maintain the rule of Li Tang, Zheng Peng did not expect that Cui Xiyi could join this kind of organization.

It is no wonder that he was able to go to Chang'an in the future to serve as a county lieutenant, the post of county lieutenant, which is equivalent to the existence of the deputy mayor of the capital in later generations, and then moved to supervise the imperial history and appointed important positions such as the Ministry of Officials.

Compared with the famous Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, the sense of existence of bad people is too low, so low that it rarely exists in historical materials, like such a low-key organization, the personnel are very hidden, judging from the position held by Cui Xiyi, the level is not high, the reputation is not obvious, but the position is very important.

"Yes, yes." Cui Xiyi said with some pride.

"Brother Xiyi, what is your position in the bad?"

"Bad Lieutenant" paused, and Cui Xiyi immediately added: "Feiteng, it's good if you know, don't delve into it, the less you know about this kind of thing, the better." ”

Zheng Peng hesitated for a moment, and finally forced down his curiosity.

The bad guy is a secret organization directly under the emperor in the Tang Dynasty, the bottom is the bad guy, the main person is called the bad handsome, and the bad lieutenant in Cui Xiyi's mouth should be the middle-level backbone.

"Brother Xiyi, look at your appearance, you've been in the Western Regions for a long time, why are you looking for me now? It's not interesting. Zheng Peng said with some dissatisfaction.

Don't ask, looking at Cui Xiyi's dark and thin appearance and dark complexion, he can't get out of the sun for a year and a half, and he hasn't looked for himself for so long, which is a bit unreasonable.

Cui Xiyi arched his hand helplessly and said: "Brother Feiteng, please see Liang, we have rules, we can't expose your whereabouts casually, let alone interact with others at will, and sometimes you can't see each other if you're very close." ”

"Why now?"

"According to the regulations, if something important happens, the person with the highest authority in the area where the bad guy is located can contact the person with the highest status in the local area, the bad marshal's mission in the Western Regions has come to an end, and he has something to do at home, and he has embarked on the road home, Zhang Xiaosong followed the army to chase and kill the rebels, and here our status is equal, so this is the opportunity to meet."

Speaking of this, Cui Xiyi said with a straight face: "According to reliable information, there are many guerrillas around Tingzhou who have escaped from Liancheng, and they may take action against Brother Feiteng, please be careful with Brother Feiteng." ”

"Understood, thanks for the reminder." Zheng Peng said with a straight face.

Speaking of this, Zheng Peng said with some curiosity: "Brother Xiyi, who is the bad handsome, can you reveal it?" ”

"Can't!" Cui Xiyi said without hesitation: "This is highly confidential. ”

When Zheng Peng was about to give up the gossip heart, Cui Xiyi seemed to say to himself: "Alas, the bad handsome has the grace of knowing me, he has a long-lost granddaughter back, he is going to his granddaughter's marriage this time, Feiteng, you have a flexible brain, help me think, what is appropriate?" ”

When he said this, Cui Xiyi gently patted Zheng Peng's shoulder, intentionally or unintentionally.

A long-lost granddaughter?

Zheng Peng's heart moved, and Cui Xiyi patted it intentionally or unintentionally, and quickly connected the "granddaughter" who was about to get married with Lu Shu in his heart.

Seeing that Zheng Peng seemed to have realized, Cui Xiyi stood up and said to himself: "Deputy Supervisor Zheng, please pay attention to safety when entering and exiting, there is something important to do, so I will leave first, and I will not send it." ”

Without waiting for Zheng Peng to respond, Cui Xiyi ran to the window in a few steps, jumped hard, and jumped out like a rabbit, and soon disappeared in front of Zheng Peng's eyes.

It's really hidden when you come, and it's in a hurry to go.

Zheng Peng looked out the window, and then looked at the untouched gold on the desktop, and suddenly felt grateful to Cui Xiyi.

Obviously, Cui Xiyi was looking for nothing to do, deliberately contacted himself, and then reminded himself vaguely.

Cui Yuan's domineering, covering the sky with one hand in your hometown, those mysterious people around him, so many forbidden weapons and other fragments converge, coupled with Cui Xiyi's mention, now Zheng Peng is nine times out of ten sure, even if Cui Yuan is not a bad handsome, he has a great relationship with a bad handsome.

Cui Xiyi, as the middle-level backbone of bad people, can touch a lot of secrets, knows the importance of Lu Shu to himself, and sees that the situation is a little urgent, so he reminds himself in disguise.

Pretended to be down-and-out and tested himself, but fortunately, Zheng Peng has always been very righteous and gave Cui Xiyi a satisfactory answer, so Cui Xiyi took a huge risk to remind himself that if he turned his face and didn't recognize people at that time, it is estimated that he would pretend not to know about it.

This is what it means to compare hearts to hearts.

However, even as a reminder, Zheng Peng can't help it, and he hasn't received the order to go back yet.

After Cui Xiyi left, Zheng Peng began to sit and lie restless, sitting for a while, standing for a while, but he was uncomfortable, and he couldn't understand why Cui Yuan's old boy looked at him unpleasantly left and right?

"Young Master, what's going on?" Seeing Zheng Peng like an ant on a hot pot, Ah Jun couldn't help but ask.

Zheng Peng said calmly: "I want to go back to Chang'an, but the court has no summons, what do you say?" ”

"It's best to find a reasonable reason for the application."

Woke up the person in the dream with a word, Zheng Peng kept thinking about how to get Li Longji to recall him, but he didn't think about applying for a fold, the more anxious he was, the more chaotic he became.

"Yes, yes, Ah Jun, quickly sharpen the ink for me, I want to write a recital." Zheng Peng said anxiously.

Before coming, he agreed with Li Longji to compose a new song for military music, which is such an agreement, Zheng Peng came to the Western Regions smoothly, and now he can go back for the same reason.

opened the notebook and was about to put down the pen, when a shout suddenly came from outside: "The holy decree has arrived, and Zheng Peng, the deputy supervisor of the Western Regions, has received the order." ”

The Holy Decree arrived?

When Ah Jun on the side saw Zheng Peng, his face was happy at first, and he soon had a sad face, as if he was worried about something.

After making meritorious contributions, hearing that there is a holy decree, I must be happy in my heart, no need to ask, most of the content of the holy decree is related to praise, appreciation and promotion, Zheng Peng has made great contributions, and the holy decree will definitely not be a bad thing, but Zheng Peng turned to worry, the imperial court saw that his performance was not bad, would he let himself continue to sit in the Western Regions?

If the emperor Chrysostom opens and the holy decree falls, the matter will be decided, and it will be difficult for Zheng Peng to save it.

After hesitating for a moment, Zheng Peng went to receive the order with mixed feelings.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zheng Peng, who knelt on the ground, took the holy decree handed over by the eunuch Xuanzhi, and the whole thing was a little incredulous.

In the holy decree, Li Longji first mentioned some appreciation, affirmed Zheng Peng's military exploits, expressed condolences to Zheng Peng's injury, and rewarded a bunch of precious medicinal materials for body replenishment.

Seeing that Zheng Peng was a little in a daze, Gonggong Huang, who announced the decree, thought that Zheng Peng didn't understand, so he helped him up, pulled him aside, and lowered his voice with a smile and said: "Deputy Eunuch Zheng doesn't have to worry too much, let you go back to Beijing, that is Your Majesty's cherishing of talents, and you have to reuse it when you go back. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Gonggong's voice was lowered: "General Gao said, if you see it, you will accept it, Zheng Jianjun has a lot of military merits now, and there are three miraculous achievements, which is enough, the pursuit is too risky, and now when I return to Beijing, there will be no less credit, if there is, it has nothing to do with Zheng Jianjun." ”

I see, Zheng Peng finally understood.

Speaking of which, Gaolishi is his own recommender, and if he performs well, it is a meritorious recommendation, and if he makes a mistake, the person who recommends him will also be implicated, and he is naturally unwilling to take risks from the position of Gaolis.

It's just what you want to do, and Colliers's conservatism has inadvertently done him a big favor.

Zheng Peng was overjoyed, but his face was still silent, and he nodded and said, "Yes, it is still Gao Gonggong who is thoughtful, please tell Gao Gonggong that I will return to Beijing from now on." ”

While speaking, Zheng Peng stuffed a gold ingot of ten taels into the hand of Huang Gonggong: "Father-in-law has worked hard all the way, there is a little money here, please buy a bowl of tea on the public road to quench your thirst."

Ten taels of gold? This is a hundred yuan of money, Huang Gonggong's eyes lit up, his whole face was instantly full of smiles, and he said with a smile: "Deputy Eunuch Zheng is really polite, the Sprinkle family has long said that Deputy Eunuch Zheng is young and promising, and it is really good." ”

Acquaintance, Gao Lishi asked Zheng Peng to accept it when he saw it, Zheng Peng immediately said that he would return to Beijing immediately, the generals are very upright, many generals look down on eunuchs, and it is already very good to be able to give a reward of three or five times, I didn't expect Zheng Peng to be so generous, and he made a shot of ten taels of gold.

The two chatted a few more words, and Zheng Peng asked Huang Gonggong to take him down to enjoy the wine and food, and then shouted loudly: "Ah Jun." ”

"Young Master."

"The holy decree has arrived, quickly, pack up immediately, and leave for Chang'an immediately." Zheng Peng said anxiously.

If it weren't for the fear of being accused of escaping from the battle, Zheng Peng wanted to leave first and then ask for instructions, but he didn't expect that his luck was not bad, and someone would send a pillow as soon as he fell asleep.

Don't leave now, but when.

"Young master, Guo Gongzi and Kuluo Gongzi have not returned from their trip......"

Zheng Peng waved his hand: "I can't wait, send someone to inform them, let them hurry up and keep up, immediately send an order down, let the escort team gather within half an hour, by the way, send a message to the county lord of Lando, and say that the imperial court ordered me to rush back to Chang'an, and I will find another opportunity to eat later." ”

As soon as the city was broken, many rebels fled in all directions, and someone had to protect them on the road to be safe, so Zheng Peng decided to let the escort send him back to the pass and let them return.

As for Landuo, who came from afar, I can only be sorry for her.
