Chapter 417 Resignation
Author: Fragrance is all over the world
"Tanghulu, sweet candied haws—"
"Make clay figurines, all kinds of clay figurines, take a look!"
There is an endless stream of hawkers on the street, and there seems to be no place for afternoon fatigue here. People do not have the habit of taking a nap in order to make a living.
Pei Mo held Murong Qing's hand and walked slowly and leisurely down the street. Not far away was a lieutenant holding a knife.
Looking back at the lieutenant general whose face was full of complaints, Murong Qing turned his attention to Pei Mo Junyi's face and asked, "General, aren't you going to the martial arts field?"
She thought she could only rely on herself, but she didn't expect that the general was the most reliable!
Pei Mo held one hand behind his back and gently rubbed her little hand with the other hand, and pursed his thin lips slightly.
Do you want to tell Madam the truth?
In fact, as early as night, Pei Mo felt that someone was secretly watching the General's Mansion, and the people watching the General's Mansion were far more powerful than the secret guards sent by the second prince.
He was even more uneasy during the day. When he met his wife and Yan Ru, he discovered that someone was secretly spying on them. At first, he was not sure whether the person hiding in the dark was following Yan Ru or his wife.
In order not to alert others, he followed his wife quietly, and then the scene in the alley happened.
Perhaps because of this incident, Pei Mo didn't notice that Murong Qing couldn't sleep all night last night.
Pei Mo thought for a while, and seemed to have a smile in his voice, "I gave the purse to the madam, but the husband found out that he had no money to give to the blacksmith shop, so he had to find the deputy general to settle the bill. He thought that the madam would definitely eat at the palace, and the husband would
I rushed to the palace and unexpectedly met Madam in the alley."
Forget it, these things take a lot of thinking. Pei Mo didn't want Murong Qing to worry about these things, but he didn't know that Murong Qing had known about it a long time ago.
"I see."
Murong Qing said, still feeling scared. This time he was lucky enough to meet the general, but next time, would he be so lucky?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help lowering her voice, "General, they are following me. Do you think they are people sent by the emperor?"
Pei Mo was slightly stunned. He originally wanted to hide it, but it turned out that Madam had already noticed it.
Before he could speak, Murong Qing dropped another piece of news that shocked him even more.
"General, I'm afraid you don't know that An Ren and Yan Ru have been sent to guard Xiguan and will set off in three days."
Murong Qing's expression dropped, like a cabbage wilting under the sun.
For a moment, Pei Mo's breathing stopped. Was the emperor really suspicious?
After a while, Pei Mo calmed down and asked, "When did Madam know about it?"
Murong Qing told him the truth, and also gave him a general summary of what Yan Ru said today.
After listening, Pei Mo fell into silence. His heart seemed to have been punched hard. This old emperor was doing something to disappoint him again.
He endured the pain of blood ties alone, day and night, if he could, he really wanted to abandon all his moral principles. If it were not allowed by the teachings he had received, he would have abandoned what he could in this world, especially
What kind of bullshit is blood relationship, father-son relationship?
He now missed the quiet time with Murong Qing in the Valley of Bones that no one cared about.
"Will the Emperor never recall An Ren and Yan Ru to the capital?"
Murong Qing's face was full of sadness. When she thought that she might never see Yan Ru again in her life, she felt that there was nothing in this capital that attracted her except the general.
Unknowingly, they returned to the general's mansion.
The lieutenant handed the knife to Liu Shen, then took the money from Pei Mo and returned it to him. He suddenly changed from being full of complaints to being happy.
Pei Mo was a little distracted when he saw the figure of the deputy general Pi Bianpian leaving the general's mansion.
He looked out from the door and saw that the streets were full of people. Traffickers and footmen were all running for their lives, and he was no exception. Everyone had their own prison.
It just depends on whether a person can break free from this shackles before dying and move towards a world that truly belongs to him.
Sometimes, all it takes to make up your mind is a simple opportunity. Watching the servants close the heavy wooden door, Pei Mo, who can no longer see the outside, suddenly said, "Madam, I don't want to be a general anymore."
The topic changed so suddenly that Murong Qing was stunned, "Huh?"
Pei Mo repeated again, "I plan to resign from the emperor and leave this imperial city. Let's live somewhere else."
Murong Qing suddenly laughed, "Is it like in the valley?"
Pei Mo shook his head, "No."
"Why not?" Murong Qing frowned.
"The stone houses in the valley are too small. Before I leave, I will take all the money with me to buy a big house for my wife."
It seemed that the ideal leisurely and contented life was just around the corner, and Pei Mo's face was filled with a relaxed smile.
"I thought the general regretted it." Murong Qing smiled calmly, "It just so happens that I am used to living in the capital. Let's leave here."
She still hasn't forgotten the short-lived Sun Wan, let alone her former self. She actually wants to ride horses in the wilderness again.
She also did not forget the immorality of superb medical skills. She also wanted to go into the mountains and listen to the roar of the forest instead of listening to the dogma from those women.
It is better to face the roaring beasts in the mountains than to face the hypocritical and smiling royal family.
They smiled at each other, held hands and walked into the house.
Pei Mo shook his head helplessly, "It's not that simple to resign. The emperor today seems to be very different from the past. Even Li Fu beside him can't guess what the emperor is thinking, let alone us?"
Knowing from Murong Qing's mouth that Li Fuquan asked An Ren to tell him to be careful, Pei Mo felt that this matter seemed to be more out of his control than he thought.
It seems that when the emperor summoned him to the palace, he himself did not completely dispel the emperor's suspicion.
The emperor has been thinking about it for more than twenty years. How could he change his mind just because of his words?
Pei Mowu sighed to himself, "But since An Ren has left the capital, I have nothing left to stay. I will enter the palace tomorrow to bid my resignation to the emperor."
When you are at a loss, it is better to take a strong dose of medicine. Pei Mo is not a person who takes it step by step, and now he has no time to think about the future.
Damn it, you have to think about the world, Pei Mo cursed in his heart.
The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooked, the flying birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden. If Anren, who had not yet reached the peak, guarded Xiguan and discovered the enemy's night attack on Liangzhou City, how could the Dashun border be stable now? But where is it now?
However, the emperor ignored any sympathy and even used the elderly King Yi as a threat to force Anren to accept this decree. When had Fang Anren, a young and talented man, ever experienced such aggrievedness?
He was tired of seeing all the chicken feathers in the court, and Pei Mo couldn't help but feel sad, why not just leave it like this.
