Pei Mansion.
"General, when I and my men arrived, the restaurant was already deserted. The innkeeper said there was a woman in that room, and this portrait was drawn based on what he said."
The Pei family guard reported to Pei Heng and presented a portrait of a woman.
When Pei Heng saw the portrait, his blood rushed to his head. The person in the painting was not a stranger, but his mortal enemy - Tuoba Rao.
"Tuoba Rao?"
Lin Wanfu, who came over after hearing the news, recognized him at a glance.
"How dare she show up in Shengjing? Isn't she afraid of being hacked into pieces?"
Pei Heng slammed his fist on the table.
"She's coming for me. No, I can't let her do what she wants. Come, gather your men and horses and follow me to the inn where the Beimang delegation is staying."
"Yes!"
The Pei family guard shouted sternly.
"Wait!"
Sun Zhonghuai stepped forward to stop Pei Heng, who was about to lead his men out of the study, and said, "General, think twice! Tuoba Rao is the Beimang Emperor's biological sister and has a long-standing foundation in the Beimang army. If she dies in Shengjing, the war between the two countries, which has finally been put to an end, will probably be reignited."
"Am I afraid of her?"
Pei Heng tried to push Sun Zhonghuai away.
"If it weren't for the Emperor's three imperial edicts personally ordering a ceasefire in the northern border, the Northern Expedition Army would have already razed the Beimang Royal Court! Beimang is wickedly ambitious, and peace talks are merely a delaying tactic. Furthermore, those in the court who advocate for peace talks are all members of Prince Kang's faction. Can't you see the reason behind this, Zhong Huai?"
Prince Kang and Prime Minister Cui urged Emperor Jingde to cease fire and negotiate peace, simply because they were afraid that Prince Su would march north and destroy Beimang, and his achievements would be outstanding. He would not be given any titles after returning to the court, thus endangering Prince Kang's position.
Now, the emperor ordered Prince Kang to preside over the peace talks, and undercurrents are surging in the court.
Sun Zhonghuai said bitterly, "General, you're naturally not afraid of her. Prince Kang's hosting of the peace talks also has ulterior motives. But we have to admit that the opportunity for war has been lost. A ceasefire is indeed good news for the people of the northern border. The people of the northern border have finally ushered in peace and begun to recuperate. Are we going to plunge them into war again?"
“…” Pei Heng’s eyes turned red.
He and Tuoba Rao not only had a national feud, but four years ago, Tuoba Rao had captured him and humiliated him in every way, a personal vendetta he never forgot. It was a pity that he hadn't been able to kill her personally during the battle in the north, which had sown the seeds of disaster, and now it was also affecting A'li and the child.
Tolerable or unbearable!
But what Sun Zhonghuai said was not wrong.
We had already lost the opportunity by not being able to attack Beimang in one fell swoop. To start a war now would be an injustice to the millions of people in the northern border.
"Are we just going to let it go like this?" Lin Wanfu gritted his teeth.
The Beimang witch has committed many evil deeds and everyone has the right to kill her!
"No, Tuoba Rao's name is not in the delegation, which means she came here secretly. We can't kill Princess Beimang directly, but we can capture the assassin!"
Pei Heng thought quickly and soon came up with a solution.
"I understand!"
Lin Wanfu stepped forward, clasped his fists and said:
"General, let me go. I'm currently serving in the City Defense Battalion, and it's my duty to protect Shengjing. I'll take the portrait to the inn to apprehend the assassin, and say the assassin responsible for today's attack on Changjie is hiding in the inn. No matter how she tries to argue, I'll simply deny it! If she continues to pester me, I'll stab her!"
"I'll go with you."
Pei Heng and Lin Wanfu had discussed it and were about to go out when a man rushed in from outside the door, rushed in front of Sun Zhonghuai, and swung his fist to punch him in the face.
"Mr. Sun, you've read so many sage books, but you don't know that you shouldn't cheat on your friend's wife! You're such a treacherous villain! I'll beat you to death!"
Su Zhe was furious. He ignored the people around him and sat on Sun Zhonghuai, ready to hit him. Pei Heng grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him up.
"Azhe! If you have something to say, just talk it over nicely. Why are you acting so crazy?"
Su Zhe was pulled aside by Pei Heng. He was furious, but he couldn't vent his anger in front of his brother-in-law. He just pointed at Sun Zhonghuai, who was lying on the ground with bruises at the corners of his eyes and blood at the corners of his mouth, and cursed:
"Brother-in-law, ask him! He did a good thing!"
Sun Zhonghuai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly.
"Su Zhe, you're a real man, but when you encounter problems, you only use your fists and brute force to solve them, without using your brain at all. You're so crude and brainless, no wonder Song Ci wants to divorce you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Zhe flew into a rage. He ignored Pei Heng and Lin Wanfu's attempts to stop him and rushed forward to beat him up, but was grabbed by Pei Heng by the waist.
"And you still say you have no personal feelings! Sun Zhonghuai, I treated you like a brother, and this is how you treat me! Now you even have a child! You have no shame!"
Sun Zhonghuai got up from the ground, speechless.
But when he thought of what Song Ci had said to him, he swallowed his words back.
"Su Zhe, Song Ci has already divorced you. Right now, there's no relationship between you two. She can be with whoever she wants. What's it to you?"
"you!"
Su Zhe was speechless for a moment.
"Enough!" Pei Heng shouted, "Azhe, Zhong Huai is right. Even though Song Ci was once your husband and wife, she is now divorced and free. She is alone and is free to be with whoever she likes. You have no right to interfere, and you have no right to hit Zhong Huai. Apologize!"
"Humph!"
Su Zhe turned his head away unconvinced.
Lin Wanfu covered his mouth in embarrassment and stood aside, not daring to speak.
Pei Heng threw Su Zhe to the ground and said angrily:
"Su Zhe, everything in the past is in the past. What's the point of dwelling on it? If you're a man, think carefully about what you're going to do in the future! Right now, we don't have time to fool around with you. Get out of the way!"
Su Zhe also noticed at this moment that there were guards everywhere in the courtyard and the atmosphere was a bit tense.
He wiped his face and said:
"What happened?"
Lin Wanfu quickly stepped forward and told the whole story. Su Zhe was stunned and shouted:
"What? A stabbing in the street? What about my sister? What about my nephew? How are they?"
Pei Heng exhaled through his nostrils and said angrily:
"I thought you didn't care about your sister and nephew anymore!"
Su Zhe stomped his foot fiercely and pointed at Sun Zhonghuai and said:
"I'll settle the score with you later."
As he said that, he hurried towards Nanshe.
Pei Heng waved his hand at the guards in the courtyard and said sternly, "Follow me!"
……
After a commotion in the study, Su Zhe hurried to Nanshe. Before entering, he did not forget to control his anger.
"Sister, sister, I heard that you were assassinated. Is everything okay?"
"What are you yelling about!"
Su Li came out from the inner room and hushed at him, signaling him to speak in a lower voice.
"Le Le just fell asleep. Are you going to wake him up again? Then you can hold him and coax him to sleep!"
Su Li glared at Su Zhe and warned him fiercely.
Su Zhe shrank back and lowered his voice.
"Sister, I heard you were attacked on Chang Street? Are you okay?"
"What can happen to me? I have Aci and your brother-in-law protecting me, and my skin is not even a little bit oily. Why are you here so late?" Su Li sat down on the couch.
"I... I heard about my sister's situation and came to check on her because I was worried." Su Zhe scratched his head. He didn't dare to say that he came here specifically to beat up Sun Zhonghuai.
At this time, Songzhi walked in, glanced at Su Zhe, and whispered something in Su Li's ear.
Upon hearing this, Su Li glared at Su Zhe angrily and said:
"Still lying. I've been scratching my head since I was a kid because of lies! Look at you, you're already on duty in the Imperial Guards, but why are you still so rough? What did Mr. Sun do to you to deserve this beating?"
Seeing that he could no longer conceal the truth, Su Zhe said angrily:
"He has no shame!"
"Why is he shameless?"
"He... Sister, why are you siding with outsiders? He and Ah Ci are having an affair, it's unclear. I was wondering why Ah Ci was so determined to get a divorce, it turns out he was behind it!"
He was so angry that he jumped up and down when he thought about the two of them having an affair behind his back.
"Mr. Sun is not that kind of person."
Su Li moved the wick.
"Of course not!" Su Zhe was furious. "Sister, you don't know, they... they... they even have a child!"
