Chapter 93 Pei Zhixiu's Background

The two of them stared at each other for more than ten seconds. Pei Zhixiu's eyes were a little evasive. He lowered his head and said softly, "I heard some unusual movements in the barracks, so I came to take a look..."

"Well, we encountered some troubles, but we are safe now!" Ye Mingsheng nodded and explained:
Hearing the words "little trouble", Pei Zhixiu frowned slightly and continued, "Just now, Ye Tie told me something because of the urgency of the situation."

Ye Mingsheng felt a little embarrassed when he heard that, and secretly complained about Ye Tie in his heart. He was usually very reliable, but why was he so careless when it came to Pei Zhixiu?

Waving his hand, Ye Mingsheng pretended to be carefree and said: "As a warrior, born in this chaotic world, I have already had the necessary awareness...
"Ye joined the army at the age of sixteen. He went north to fight the Cumans, suppressed peasant uprisings in Lianghuai, and suppressed bandits in Guanzhong. This time, he fought with the Luobei people in Gongdu. He has seen a lot of scenes. What happened just now was nothing!"

Hearing that Ye Mingsheng had such a rich resume, Pei Zhixiu's beautiful eyes showed some curiosity, and she couldn't help but say, "You've been to so many places."

"Alas... this year is not good, and troubled times are coming..." Ye Mingsheng first sighed, and then said with emotion:
As he got to know this world more and more, it seemed to him that the Great Zhou Dynasty, which had existed for three hundred years, was plagued by various social class contradictions. It was in a time when the wind and rain were looming and a storm was about to come. This was the last calm before the storm!

This is like a huge broken ship sailing on the sea. Sinking is an inevitable outcome, but this broken ship still has three thousand nails and will not sink for a while.

Seeing Ye Mingsheng so emotional, Pei Zhixiu, who didn't know much about the Great Zhou, didn't say anything. When Ye Mingsheng came back to his senses and turned his attention back to her, she lowered her head and said faintly:

"You should be curious about my affairs..."

Hearing Pei Zhixiu talking about this, Ye Mingsheng's heart moved. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell the truth. He said with some self-mockery: "If I say I'm not curious, it will seem too fake."

After another moment of silence, Pei Zhixiu raised her head, looked into Ye Mingsheng's eyes, and slowly said:

"My father is indeed Pei Changshan. He traveled for many years in the Great Zhou Dynasty and learned some fairly good medical skills. After returning to the palace, he was recommended to become the imperial physician of the palace because of his superb medical skills."

“However, few people know that my father met my mother in Liaoyang of the Great Zhou. She was from Dongdao Island and was one of the spies sent to the Great Zhou to spy on military intelligence before the Black Dragon Society was established. Because an operation failed, she was rescued by my father while escaping. From then on, my mother decided to quit the army and stayed with my father. That’s how I was born…”

"The reason why I can understand ninjutsu and Japanese is that my mother taught me. She was a very good person, but she had a very miserable life... She didn't have a few years of peace in her life. When I was fifteen, she passed away due to a recurrence of an old injury."

"After my father passed away, when I returned to Ruishan County, I was spotted by Li Changjiu. He directed and acted out a play. Not only did he occupy our ancestral home, but he was also attracted by my beauty and wanted to possess me..."

"But besides this, he has another purpose, which is to use my beauty to train me as a spy and send me to the palace to gather intelligence for the Black Dragon Society!"

Because he had already guessed about Pei Zhixiu's identity, Ye Mingsheng was not particularly surprised by Pei Zhixiu's story. However, when he heard the reappearance of the "Black Dragon Society" organization at the end, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked in surprise:
"You mean to say that Li Changjiu is a member of the Black Dragon Society?"

"That's right. His real name is Kuroki Shinnosuke. He is the Black Dragon Society's spy in Ruishan County. He is responsible for providing money and food for the Black Dragon Society, collecting intelligence, and training personnel!" Pei Zhixiu nodded and said

After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something. She looked at Ye Mingsheng, bit her red lips lightly, and said softly with a look of grievance: "Although Kuroki Shinnosuke has always had plans for me, I have always resisted and never let him succeed..." Under the gaze of Pei Zhixiu's beautiful eyes, Ye Mingsheng said without hesitation; "I know!"

After receiving such a positive reply from Ye Mingsheng, Pei Zhixiu's bright and delicate face relaxed a little, and she whispered:

"I'm going to take a rest..."

"Well! It's getting late, go to bed early." Ye Mingsheng nodded and sent Pei Zhixiu back to her tent.

When he returned to the tent again, Ye Tie was already waiting for him there. Seeing Ye Mingsheng returning, he immediately handed over the silver note that Ye Mingsheng had just given him.

"Master, please keep the banknotes!"

"Yes!" Ye Mingsheng did not hesitate and put the thick stack of banknotes directly into his arms.

After taking the banknote, Ye Mingsheng looked at Ye Tie who was still standing there, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised and continued to ask: "Ye Tie, what can I do for you?"

In response to Ye Mingsheng's question, Ye Tie nodded solemnly, then cupped his hands and said with a serious face:

"Master, the old lady sent us here to protect you, not to cover our retreat..."

"When encountering a dangerous situation like today, Master, you should protect yourself instead of putting yourself in danger... What if, I mean, what if something happens to you, how are we going to go back and explain to the old lady?"

Ye Tie's words touched Ye Mingsheng deeply. He patted Ye Tie on the shoulder and said, "I don't want to be a hero, but if I don't stand up, no one will be able to leave."

"Young Master, at that time, we can..." Ye Tie said seriously, and then he made a downward chopping gesture with a meaningful look.

Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng understood what he meant, smiled and shook his head and said: "If I stand up, everyone still has a chance of survival, otherwise it will be a 100% death. I know your loyalty."

"Mother asked you to come out with me, so just listen to me. I cherish my life very much, and I will not put myself in danger unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Well, you've been tired all day, go and rest early, because you still have to travel tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Ye Tie nodded reluctantly, bowed and left.
