As Bailiheng said that, he stood up and walked to the bed. Before Shi Qinghuan could pass by, he pulled up the quilt and prepared to lie down on the ground on one side.
When Shi Qinghuan saw this, he quickly stopped him, "The ground is cold and you're drunk again. Don't sleep on the ground."
Bailiheng was stunned and turned to look at Shi Qinghuan.
Shi Qinghuan was a little embarrassed, but he still got on the bed, shrank to the innermost part of the bed, and pointed to the outside.
"Sleep here, you should be informal when you are away from home."
Bailiheng's eyes flashed with light, but seeing the embarrassment in Shi Qinghuan's expression, he still shook his head.
"The ground is cold, so just sit on the chair."
Bailiheng said, walking to the recliner on one side. The recliner was quite spacious. Bailiheng lay down, wrapped himself in a quilt, and nodded, "It's very comfortable here, this is it!"
Shi Qinghuan wanted to speak, but then he heard Bailiheng's steady breathing.
Fallen asleep so quickly?
Maybe it’s because of drunkenness!
Shi Qinghuan didn't think much about it, and secretly moved out. He was worried that Bailiheng was real, and inviting him to sleep in the same bed was also real, but the nervousness was also real.
This time, I was relieved.
Looking at Bailiheng's figure, he slowly closed his eyes.
He didn't notice the slightly raised corners of Bailiheng's lips.
Her changes were a joy to him.
That night, I was half asleep and half awake, cautious and worried in my heart, until dawn.
Bailiheng also woke up very early, got up and repaired himself with Shi Qinghuan, and then left the room.
Outside, Marquis Qingyang has sent someone over to arrange breakfast.
After breakfast, he personally arranged escorts to escort the group to Fei's house.
Wanting to win over, but afraid of any gossip outside, Qingyang Marquis could not come forward, so he had to tell Bailiheng to speak kindly.
In this way, Bailiheng and his party, taking Qianyue with them, set out on the road in a mighty manner.
The Fei family is in a neighboring city, not too far apart.
It only took two days.
However, during these two days, Bailiheng and Shi Qinghuan pretended to be affectionate because they were accompanied by Qingyang Hou's people.
In fact, it’s not pretending.
Bailiheng couldn't get it, and Shi Qinghuan... also enjoyed it.
Compared to the Qingyang Marquis Mansion, the Fei family is actually worse than the Qingyang Marquis Mansion, and with the military power in their hands, they are even more arrogant.
Even though Bailiheng used the identity of Qianyue, he did not receive the same hospitality as Qingyang Houfu, but naturally he did not dare to be too vague.
The old lady was very satisfied with Qianyue and couldn't wait to take it back to the backyard.
Bailiheng and Shi Qinghuan were invited by the head of the Fei family to have dinner together.
But this time, Shi Qinghuan couldn't escape. Not only that, there were dancing girls surrounding the banquet.
The head of the Fei family was fierce, he was the one leading the troops, and he couldn't hide his killing intent.
People on the battlefield have always looked down upon people with such a reputation as Qian Yue. This was also Bailiheng's miscalculation.
But it didn't matter. During the conversation, Bailiheng made several remarks, which made the Fei family leader change his view on him and his attitude became much better.
Seeing this, Bailiheng also started his purpose of coming here.
"When I entered the city today, I saw a notice at the city gate. General Fei, are you still recruiting troops?"
"Yes, in troubled times, it is natural to be prepared."
"But as far as I know, recruiting troops requires an explicit decree from the court. It's not appropriate for the general to do this."
As soon as these words came out, Master Fei's expression changed, "Master, what do you mean by this?"
"Hey, General Fei, don't get me wrong. The general and I are on the same side. I'm just a kind reminder. On a normal day, if the general recruits troops, I not only agree, but I can also do my best, but right now, it's really not possible! "
The head of the Fei family was a little confused, "Is it possible that the young master knows something inside?"
"The Holy One has sent Minister Zuo Bailiheng to Hexi for inspection. According to the date, it should be here."
After saying that, he pretended to be surprised and looked at the head of the Fei family who had changed his expression, "What? The general doesn't know?"
"Where did you learn about this?"
"Of course it's what my good friend in the capital said. This matter is a secret. Prime Minister Zuo and others also came here for a secret visit. It's true that outsiders don't know about it, but the general, the Marquis should have informed him!"
After saying this, Master Fei's face turned dark, and Bailiheng pretended to be doubtful again, "Is it possible that the Marquis doesn't know about this matter? That would be even more wrong. His Highness Prince Feng must know about it. Since His Highness Prince Feng knows about it, , naturally I would send a secret message to Lord Marquis to take precautions early, how could..."
Bailiheng hesitated to speak, but in the end he just thought it was because he made a mistake and drank.
But the face of the Fei family leader turned darker and darker, and even the banquet ended early.
Someone sent Bailiheng and Shi Qinghuan back to the guest room.
Passing by the lake, there was a faint scream, and the sound was very familiar.
Shi Qinghuan and Bailiheng looked at each other and left quickly.
In the courtyard not far away, the lights were brightly lit.
On the bed in the room, Qianyue's limbs were tied and unable to move. His clothes were completely taken off and his body was covered with bloodstains.
He looked in front of him with tears in his eyes.
The old lady held the whip in her hand and swung it at him with a smile on her face.
Unable to speak or resist, all that was left was whimpering and screaming.
At this moment, he seemed to see the people he had sold before, and he had suffered everything they had suffered.
It's retribution.
Bailiheng and Shi Qinghuan naturally guessed these, but they were not worth paying attention to.
After returning to the guest room, Bailiheng breathed a sigh of relief as usual as soon as the door was closed. Shi Qinghuan sat aside in admiration and said, "I didn't expect you to be so arrogant. In just a few words, the relationship between the Fei family and the Hou family was revealed." The cooperation may be in vain.”
"This is the purpose of my coming here, to cut off the Hou Mansion's retreat, so that I can be more confident in future actions."
Bailiheng's few words were obviously to expose his westward journey, but in fact, what he was provoking was the heart of the Fei family leader.
Interests are connected and there are always many concerns.
The Fei family was able to connect with the Hou Mansion only because of Cheng Yangfeng's support for the Hou Mansion. The Fei family ultimately wanted to connect with Cheng Yangfeng.
There is a very important point in Bailiheng's words, that is, although Bailiheng's westward journey was secret, Cheng Yangfeng naturally knew about it.
But even though Cheng Yangfeng knew about it, the Hou Mansion did not receive any news. The key to this is very intriguing.
In this way, there is no need for the Fei family and the Hou family to cooperate.
But if it was the latter, and the Hou Mansion knew about the rumor but did not inform the Fei family, it would not only be a lack of cooperation, but also a falling out.
No matter what the situation is, the cooperation between the Fei family and the Hou family will be abandoned.
Bailiheng's goal was also achieved.
But Shi Qinghuan is still puzzled, "What if the Fei family leader doesn't believe what you said? What if he thinks you are instigating it and there is no intention to go west?"
"It's no wonder he doesn't believe it." Bailiheng smiled, "What do you think Fang Zhiheng did when he went to Zhongcheng?"
The previous discussion was to let Fang Zhiheng go to Zhongcheng. As for the purpose, Shi Qinghuan didn't know.
Now, with one word, she understood.
"Could it be..."
"That's right."
Shi Qinghuan suddenly realized, and he looked at each other and smiled.
At the same time, at the entrance of the Zhongcheng government office, Fang Zhiheng stood in the wind.
"The news is that Mr. Zuo Xiang Bailiheng is here to visit. Please come out to greet him, Mr. Magistrate."
