Chapter 468 The Lone Star of the Fiend
The conversation has come to this point, Pei Yi can't say anything more, so she can only bow her head silently.
Because Prime Minister Pei and his wife were sitting at the dinner table, and the two brothers of the Pei family were also there, both Xun Huan and Xiao Junji behaved very harmoniously, not at all like they were at war with each other when they usually ate.
Pei Xuanzong finished chewing a mouthful of vegetables slowly, and suddenly asked, "Where is Qisha?"
Pei Yi heard her elder brother's questioning, she quickly raised her head and replied obediently: "I have arranged a task for him, and he is not at home now."
Xun Huan and Xiao Junji suddenly heard the name of their rival, and looked at the eldest son of the Pei family very vigilantly.
Pei Xuanzong picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin with his serving chopsticks and put it on a small plate, and said calmly: "You'd better call him back. He is not suitable to show his face outside recently."
Pei Yi felt that there was something in these words, and asked suspiciously: "Why?"
Pei Xuanzong looked at his sister, and said with a faint smile: "I was on duty in the palace today, and I saw the envoys of Chu State. The leader of the envoys is Chu Mingxiao, the fifth prince of Chu State."
Pei Yi unexpectedly opened her eyes slightly wide.
This is really a narrow road for enemies!
Chu Mingxiao, the bastard, set up an ambush on Qisha's way home, causing Qisha's face to suffer, and even the pot was broken.
She was worrying that she had no place to avenge Qi Sha, and this **** actually came to their Dazhou realm by himself?
A surge of anger rose in Pei Yi's heart, and the hand holding the chopsticks couldn't help exerting a little force.
Pei Xuanzong took all these small actions of his sister into his eyes, and continued unhurriedly: "The five princes of Chu State and Qi Sha look almost exactly the same. They are also very similar in body shape. If the two change clothes , I’m afraid it won’t be a problem to confuse the real with the fake.”
The whole audience was in an uproar.
Xun Huan was dumbfounded.
He seriously suspected that he had heard it wrong, and asked in great surprise: "Can there be such a resemblance?"
Xiao Junji was also astonished, and complained in disbelief: "Are these two twins?"
Mrs. Pei was also quite astonished, and couldn't help complaining: "They look so similar, could it be that these two people are really related by blood?"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Pei remembered something.
She turned her head to look at the Prime Minister sitting beside her, and asked, "Husband, it seems that you picked Qisha from the border of Chu State, right? Could it be that this child is really connected with the royal family of Chu State?"
Pei Yi was dumbfounded. She secretly thought that her mother's sensitivity was too high, right? These few words almost revealed Qi Sha's identity.
Pei Shu frowned slightly, recalling the past carefully.
After all, it was more than ten years ago, and I can't remember many details.
But one thing Pei Shu remembered very clearly, he fished the seven kills from the river.
At that time, the army walked for several days and nights, but there was no water source anywhere, and they were extremely thirsty.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, Pei Shu was very anxious.
At this moment, he heard the cry of a baby.
It is not a good thing to hear a baby cry in the wilderness.
What's more, it was night at that time, the moon in the sky was gloomy, and it was pitch black everywhere.
The baby's cry was inexplicably extraordinarily pervasive.
Some meddlesome people in the army are very superstitious, suspecting that there are some ghosts and ghosts nearby.
At that time, the army had no water to drink, was exhausted, and the morale of the army was floating.
As a result, when rumors of ghosts and gods came out, many people felt that the heavens were going to kill them, and the morale of the army became even more impetuous.
Seeing that the morale of the army was unstable, Pei Shu could only stand up and find out where the baby's cry came from.
To be honest, although he has always believed in "the son does not talk, the power and the gods are confused", but in the environment at that time, he was actually a little flustered in his heart.
The lieutenant general followed him to find the crying sound, but saw a small stream flowing under the moonlight, and the water surface shimmered, as if it was decorated with silver pieces.
There was a small basket flowing down the water, and the crying of the baby came from the basket, which was very loud.
The deputy general was ecstatic and shouted: "General, it's water! We have found the water source!"
Pei Shu was overjoyed.
Because of this incident, everyone felt that this baby was sent by heaven to save Pei Jiajun.
So, a group of rough guys decided to take this milk doll in.
"Speaking of which, the seven kills are also fatal." Pei Shu recalled, "He was estimated to have just been full moon at the time, and there was no milk in the small basket. And the military doctor showed him and concluded that he hadn't eaten for at least two days If a baby as big as him starved like this for two days, he would have lost his life, let alone cry? But he can not only cry, but also cry very loudly. It's tough enough."
Hearing this, Pei Yi didn't feel sorry for Qisha's fate, but felt sorry for this young man. She was abandoned by her family at such a young age, and if she hadn't met her father and the others in the wilderness, Qi Sha would have died long ago.
It can be said that it is ironic, her father didn't intend to save Qisha at first - after all, the army is marching, so where is the time to raise a baby?
This is where Qisha's life is hard and life is "good", so he drifts in the water, which just solves the problem that the army can't find water.
So, a group of rough men suddenly softened their hearts and decided to adopt this little lucky star.
However, since it is a lucky star, it should be taken care of.
How come in the end, her father trained Qi Sha to be a dead man?
With such a lucky encounter as Seven Kills, she should be raised by her father's side normally, right?
"However, his fate is too hard, so hard that it makes people feel terrible." Pei Shu said in a deep voice, "At that time, the enemy army attacked, and there was chaos everywhere. When the final count was made, the team responsible for feeding the seven kills They were all dead, and only one milk doll was killed seven times. It was really scary at that time..."
Pei Shu is not a person with a particularly good memory. It is almost impossible for him to retell what happened more than ten years ago, but this is the only accident.
"There are wild dogs nearby. Those wild dogs eat human corpses, and their eyes are red."
"It stands to reason that Qi Sha was a baby at the time, with the smell of milk on his body, so he should be the most pleasing to the wild dogs."
"But the group of wild dogs bypassed him and only ate the dead military masters around him."
Pei Shu's complexion was very bad, recalling the scene at that time still felt indescribably weird.
He remembered that there was only one thought in his mind at the time: This kid is definitely a evil spirit.
Not only did he think so, but none of the military masters around him felt that Qisha was ominous.
But the strange thing is that none of the military masters proposed to throw away Qisha.
It is estimated that everyone has reached a consensus in their hearts: this child is too strange, and his ability seems to be too great, and he will suffer if he throws it away.
"But keeping the Seven Kills makes everyone feel nervous." Pei Shu said helplessly, "The army hates and fears the Seven Kills. No one dares to take him in, and no one dares to abandon him. In the end, we can only It was I who decided to bring him back to Pei's house."
It's all said here, what else does Pei Yi not understand?
Her father brought Qi Kill back to Pei's house simply because, as the commander of the first army, he had his own responsibilities. Other soldiers dared not bring Qi Kill home, so he had to do it.
But he also felt that Qisha was inauspicious, so naturally he didn't dare to keep him by his side, so he threw him to the cruelest dead man, Anbu, and wanted Qisha to fend for himself.
"However, this child's fate is too hard." Pei Shu said with emotion, "A dead man has to go through many tests, and every time he passes a test, he will lose many people, but the seven kills can pass every time. The last test is only a test. If he can live alone, his opponent is more experienced than him, but he is the one who wins in the end."
Mrs. Pei had mixed feelings, and exclaimed: "This kid is too scary, right?"
Eldest son Pei Xuanzong frowned, and said slightly dissatisfied: "Since Qi Sha's life is unlucky, why did father send Qi Sha to Fanyin's side?"
The second son, Pei Xuanting, was also very dissatisfied. Frowning his sword-like eyebrows, he said with a bit of anger: "A person like Qisha is a murderer of the lone star of Tiansha! Daddy, put him next to Sanskrit, this is not to restrain Sanskrit ?"
Xun Huan has always been at odds with various rivals in love, but at this time he remained strangely calm. His face was serious, and he lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
Xiao Junji also fell into a strange silence, with no expression on his face, only silently staring at his hands on his knees.
Pei Yi's beautiful eyebrows also frowned.
She was inexplicably impatient, and retorted: "Who said that the seven kills are the lone star of Tiansha? You are too superstitious, aren't you? He can pass the test of the dead man. Doesn't it mean that he is talented and capable?" Isn't it ridiculous that you don't make good use of such a capable person, but instead think of him overpowering relatives and friends every day?"
Seeing that his sister got angry, Pei Xuan had no choice but to shut up resentfully.
But the second child, Pei Xuanting, said worriedly: "Fanyin, it's not like what you said. Some people are disaster stars. If you have him in the family, the whole family will be unlucky."
"Then is our family unlucky now?" Pei Yi was very angry, frowning and said, "Let's talk about the facts. After Qi Sha came to my side, my affairs became more and more smooth. I used the fifth prince to force the palace last time." As far as the matter is concerned, it was Qisha who risked his life to **** the third prince back to Beijing, and it was Qisha who risked his life to ask Father for help. The **** facts are in front of you, you don't even look at it, but why do you want to believe it? star!"
Pei Xuanting ate a bucket and hung it up, his face was embarrassing.
Although he was a little bully outside, he didn't dare to be tough in front of his sister—especially when he saw that her sister was getting angry, he quickly confessed his mistake cowardly: "Fanyin, don't be angry. I just... Just talking casually. Seven kills...he is very nice."
No wonder!
Pei Xuanting thought silently: If there is a problem with this kind of fate at first glance, then he can't stay by Fanyin's side all the time.
Seeing that the children were about to quarrel, Pei Shu looked very embarrassed, but he didn't explain much.
Mrs. Pei saw her husband's appearance, a few images suddenly flashed in her mind, and she suddenly had some guesses in her heart.
She couldn't help but feel a little funny, and said helplessly: "You can't blame your father for this matter. If you want to blame, you can only blame Sanskrit."
In the whole family, only Mrs. Pei dared to say that Pei Yi was bad. The other fathers and elder brothers only dared to educate Pei Yi in a soft voice, but they never dared to say that to their daughter/sister.
Pei Yi looked confused, and asked, "Why am I to blame for this?"
Mrs. Pei glanced at her husband, and said after deliberation: "At that time, you lost your temper with your family, reported your elder brother for being corrupt, and went to Linhe County alone."
"Your father was in a hurry and went to the doctor. He actually went to the magician to tell his fortune. The magician said that you were confused by the disaster star, so you went against your family."
Mrs. Pei couldn't help laughing when she said this, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "I have always disbelieved in such ghosts and ghosts. I asked the magician at that time: 'Since my daughter has suffered a disaster, how can I get rid of it? How to break it?'"
"The warlock said: You should lead the evil star into your life."
"It's equivalent to fighting fire with fire."
"I thought it was nonsense at the time." Mrs. Pei looked at her husband when she said this, and said with a smile, "Your father also reprimanded the warlock on the spot, saying that he was doing shit. Who would have thought that in the end you Dad still sent out the Qisha, it seems that he didn't believe it in front of him, but he believed it behind his back."
Pei Shu's cheeks blushed because of being poked in his mind, and he really wished he could find a crack in the ground to sneak in on the spot.
However, the husband and wife have been married for decades, how could Mrs. Pei let her husband lose face in front of her children and outsiders, so she hurriedly made amends for her husband: "However, in fact, it is right to send Qisha to Fanyin's side." Yes. Take a look, the relationship between Sanskrit and his family is so harmonious now, doesn't it mean that the catastrophe has been broken and good luck is on the way?"
After Mrs. Pei said this, everyone felt that it was true.
but…
"As you said, A Niang, now that the disaster star has been broken, is it not suitable for Qisha to stay with Sanskrit anymore?" Pei Xuanting asked.
"Second Brother!" Pei Yi was really angry, and she said angrily, "Don't be so superstitious, okay? If you really want to say that Seven Kills can help me destroy the disaster star, then he should stay by my side for the rest of my life—with him Now, the catastrophe will never dare to approach me for the rest of his life."
Pei Xuan was quite cowardly, and said embarrassingly: "The Sanskrit is right."
Pei Xuanzong put down the small teacup in his hand, and echoed cowardly: "What Sanskrit said is very true."
Mrs. Pei pursed her lips and snickered. She was never afraid or believed in gods and ghosts, so she teased immediately: "I also think Sanskrit is right, husband, what do you think?"
Pei Shu didn't have the nerve to say anything else, so he blushed slightly and said, "That's right, that's right."
This matter is considered appropriate.
The atmosphere at the scene was inexplicably awkward. In order to ease the atmosphere, Pei Yi used the excuse of going out for a walk.
Mrs. Pei couldn't understand the girl's mind, so she agreed on the spot, but she left Xun Huan and Xiao Junji behind—hehe, let's investigate the son-in-law, how can I let these little son-in-laws follow her all day long? My daughter is running around behind her buttocks.
Pei Yi left the hall and sat down on the steps under the dripping eaves without walking too far.
She took a deep breath, only feeling that she was in a trance just now like a dream.
She really didn't expect Qisha to have such a tragic past. Even if she was abandoned by her family, she was also regarded as an ominous person by a group of people-how many eyes did such a person have to get since childhood?
"Sanskrit."
Suddenly, there was a low-pitched greeting from behind.
This is the voice of her elder brother.
Pei Yi turned her head to look, and saw her elder brother coming out of the hall, and then went down the steps and sat beside her.
"Brother." Pei Yi greeted obediently.
Pei Xuanzong smiled, and asked: "Just now, I said that the fifth prince of Chu State and Qi Sha look almost exactly the same. Everyone present was surprised, but you didn't seem to react at all."
"However, when I first said that I met the fifth prince of Chu, you were very surprised. But no one present at the time felt that there was any problem with me meeting the fifth prince of Chu."
Pei Xuanzong smiled with crooked brows and eyes, and looked at his sister rightly, with a smug smile, but he asked in a doting tone, "Did you know Qisha and the Fifth Prince of Chu a long time ago?" Do they look alike?"
Pei Yi is actually a little afraid of this big brother.
She doesn't even feel guilty about her father.
But in front of her elder brother, she was like a little white rabbit meeting a big tiger, and she dared not tell any lies.
Pei Yi felt an unspeakable sense of oppression at that time, and whispered inexplicably guilty: "Yes."
Pei Xuanzong found it funny when he saw his younger sister's guilty and frightened appearance, and asked gently, "Then why didn't you say it?"
Pei Yi pursed her lips, thinking about how to speak.
Pei Xuanzong was not in a hurry, just sat beside her and waited quietly.
Pei Yi felt that the sense of oppression was stronger, so she had to confess honestly: "Brother, Qisha is very likely to belong to the royal family of Chu State."
Pei Xuanzong was stunned for several seconds before he could barely recover, and said with a dreamlike expression: "This is also possible. After all, he really looks like the Fifth Prince of Chu. .”
Pei Yi went further: "It's not just that they look alike, the five princes of Chu State have actually met before Qisha. This fifth prince took the initiative to find Qisha to find relatives, calling him brother Qisha, but afterward he sent someone to chase him. Kill seven kills. If it weren't for the strong martial arts of the seven kills, I am afraid that something unexpected would have happened long ago."
Pei Xuanzong was greatly surprised, frowned slightly and asked: "This matter is very important, why didn't you tell me before?"
Pei Yi shrank back slightly, and said cowardly: "I... don't want to upset you guys."
Pei Xuanzong laughed angrily, and teased: "Are you afraid that I will backhand and stab the seven kills with one knife?"
It is indeed the case.
Pei Yi resentfully remained silent.
Based on her understanding of her elder brother, if Qi Sha was found to be the prince of Chu, her first reaction would definitely be to kill Qi Sha.
Seeing that his sister did not answer, Pei Xuan fell silent.
Well, with his character, he will indeed find a way to kill Qisha.
After all, the hidden danger of seven killings is too great—Prince Chu.
What would others think of his Pei family?
In the eyes of Da Zhou, their Pei family is a traitor who colluded with Chu State, and raised the prince for Chu State.
In the eyes of Da Chu, their Pei family is the **** against the state of Chu, and they secretly raised their prince abandoned by Da Chu, which is simply ulterior motives.
All in all, one seven kills directly put their Pei family on the cusp of the storm. It can be said that Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror-he is not a person inside or outside.
Since this is the case, it would be better to kill the seven kills directly, and it will be over once.
but…
Pei Xuan glanced at his sister sitting beside him.
Well, Sanskrit must be reluctant to kill Qisha, so he can only abandon this method.
"Why…"
Pei Xuanzong sighed helplessly, and asked very helplessly: "Since you plan to protect the seven kills, what specific plans do you have?"
Pei Yi said very seriously: "Stay unchanged to meet all changes."
Pei Xuanzong burst out laughing immediately, and joked: "You can't help it, right?"
Pei Yi was caught by the words, her face became hot immediately, and she said in embarrassment: "There is a saying that soldiers come to cover up water and earth. I will respond to others' moves. I can't even be in a situation where I don't even know the situation. Next, just make a blind plan based on your imagination, shall we?"
Pei Xuan looked sideways at his sister, and said with a smile, "Everything you say is justified."
Pei Yi said angrily: "Of course what I said makes sense. Even a strategist cannot think of everything in advance. There is always a solution when solving a problem."
Pei Xuanzong didn't want to quarrel with his sister, but he wanted to appease her.
At this time, the housekeeper hurried over, saluted Pei Xuanzong, and said politely: "Master Song, Nanny Song came to see you and said she wanted to talk to you."
Pei Xuanzong turned cold immediately, and said in a cold voice, "I don't see you."
The housekeeper understood and respectfully took orders and left.
Pei Yi was a little puzzled, and asked curiously: "Brother, who is this Nanny Song?"
Pei Xuanzong gently pinched the baby fat on his younger sister's cheeks that had not completely faded, and joked: "She is your nanny, you don't even remember?"
"Oh, it's her!" After Pei Yi reminded her, she pulled out the No. 1 character from the original owner's memory.
Nurse Song, this is a middle-aged woman who is about the same age as her aunt.
However, many years ago, Nanny Song had already been expelled from Pei's residence.
The reason is really bullshit—Nurse Song's only daughter hooked up with her eldest brother, who would have thought that her mother's elder, Mrs. Pei, would have bumped into this.
Mrs. Pei was furious, and she was about to sell Nanny Song's only daughter.
Nurse Song begged her daughter with tears in her nose.
Mrs. Pei did not sell the so-called only daughter because Nanny Song was a nanny for her daughter, but she expelled both Nanny Song and her daughter from Pei's residence.
"It's been so many years since I was expelled from the mansion, why did Nanny Song come back to look for you?" Pei Yi asked in confusion.
Pei Xuanzong had an expression of unfortunate stepping on Xiang, and said with disgust: "It is estimated that her daughter is acting as a demon again."
If it weren't for the fact that Nanny Song used to be the nanny of Fanyin, he would have had this disgusting mother and daughter dealt with directly.
This "processing" of course refers to humane destruction, leaving no one alive.
