Chapter 97 The tacit understanding at this moment

Pei Yuan stared at the two lines of words silently, chewing on the meaning of Han Qianhu's words.

In the past, Han Qianhu always liked to use this incident to imply himself.

Pei Yuan still felt quite embarrassed.

But when this sentence was sealed in the letter and delivered by Sikong Sui personally, Pei Yuan inexplicably had a feeling that Han Qianhu was serious this time!
After thinking for a while, Pei Yuan slowly realized that something was wrong!
So why am I so sure that Han Qianhu is serious this time?
Pei Yuan was a man with a lot on his mind. Holding Han Qianhu's letter, he silently reviewed their past experiences.

He suddenly realized something. Han Qianhu seemed to have been using these words repeatedly before, deliberately cultivating a sense of tacit understanding.

That sense of tacit understanding seemed to be prepared for this moment.

Pei Yuan didn't know how to describe that kind of enlightenment.

That feeling was like a queen caressing her beloved dog, whispering something, and then suddenly issuing a brief command. Then the fierce dog that she had trained and tamed rushed forward without hesitation.

Pei Yuan looked at the two lines of words in front of him, as if he saw Han Qianhu standing there coldly, pointing at Sikong Sui and Tan Tai Fangtu with his slender jade fingers!
Damn it!

This feeling is terrible!

Could this be my illusion?

Pei Yuan's eyes flickered and his heart was in turmoil.

He folded the letter slowly, feeling a little overwhelmed for a moment.

So what should I do now?
Is to pretend not to understand the meaning here, muddle through, and then face Han Qianhu's scrutiny and new training.

Or should he charge forward bravely like a tamed fighting dog, kill Sikong Sui and Tan Tai Fang Tu, and make Han Qianhu satisfied and let down his guard against him?

If this was Han Qianhu's token of allegiance to himself, was it also a test of his obedience in some sense?

It was like asking Song Chunniang to strangle those officials and scholars in the rain?
Then there is a fatal question: how should Han Qianhu's letter be interpreted?

Is it literal?
Is it the same warning as before?

Or is it a tacit understanding that needs to be triggered?

According to the literal meaning, Pei Yuan should try his best to fight against these two and try to take over their military power within the scope permitted by the rules.

According to the previous warning, Pei Yuan could not let these two guys die in unclear circumstances like Yuan Lang did. At the critical moment, Pei Yuan might have to find a way to lend a hand to avoid arousing suspicion.

But if he relied on the tacit understanding triggered by instinct, Pei Yuan would have to kill Sikong Sui and Tan Tai Fang Tu cleanly and give Han Qianhu a beautiful answer.

Pei Yuan thought that the situation he had to face before was already enough to make him upset.

I didn’t expect that my boss is a riddle man, Lao Liu!

Before he could think further, Cheng Leixiang had already respectfully welcomed the two centurions in.

In view of Pei Yuan's sudden turn of attitude, Cheng Leixiang did not lead them into the house, but asked them to sit at the stone table in the yard.

Tan Tai Fang Tu was obviously unhappy.

It was just that Pei Yuan and his friends had been basking in the sun in the yard, with teacups and melon seeds on the table, so Tan Tai Fangtu couldn't accuse them of being rude.

Pei Yuan looked at the envelope again to confirm that it had not been opened before.

Only then did he put the letter away calmly.

Then he asked the two of them with a smile, "What's the matter with the two centurions coming to our house suddenly this time?" Pei Yuan's simple question made Sikong Sui and Tan Tai Fangtu look at each other, and both felt that they were in trouble.

How could Pei Yuan not know why the two men brought the troops here?
The letter for help was written personally to Han Qianhu by him.

Sikong Sui and Tantai Fangtu, two old men from the Qianhu Division, were already somewhat unhappy with the fact that Qianhu Han asked them to obey Pei Yuan's orders. This time, they came here with preparations in all aspects, intending to give Pei Yuan a warning.

As a result, no one accepted the challenge at all.

Sikong Sui and Tantai Fangtu were both awkward, not knowing how to respond.

It’s not that this question is difficult to answer, but once this question is answered, the initiative is completely handed over to the other party.

After Pei Yuan finished speaking, he saw that the two men looked unhappy and did not ask any further questions.

Just then Chen Toutie came over with a new cup of tea, so Pei Yuan politely invited him to drink. "Come and have a taste. It's a good thing."

Tea costs two cents per pound, and I don’t know if they can taste the difference.

Sikong Sui and Tantai Fangtu didn't know how to avoid the previous topic, so they could only pick up the tea bowl and pretend to take a few sips.

Pei Yuan was not in a hurry. He grabbed a handful of melon seeds and placed them in front of him, peeling them slowly.

Sikong Sui and Tan Tai Fang Tu looked at each other, feeling a little uncomfortable being framed.

They have to give a reason for bringing people here, right?
Moreover, so many of their men are waiting outside, and if they don't respond to the opponent's attacks, it will damage their prestige.

Both of them now realized that the guy in front of them was not someone who was easy to deal with.

Sikong Sui smiled and said, "Captain Han received your letter and asked us two to bring people over for reinforcement."

Han Qianhu asked them to follow Pei Yuan's arrangements. This matter could be written down and spread, but they could not say it out loud.

Otherwise, they will be completely passive in the next confrontation.

If they said with their own mouths that they would follow Pei Yuan's arrangements, then what would be their position in opposing Pei Yuan's decision?

After that, will we be completely at a disadvantage and have no choice but to obey the orders of this ignorant guy?
Even if we work together in the future, I will still be suppressed by him?
Pei Yuan said, "I just told Qian Hu that we were unlucky. We were caught in freezing rain at night and caught a cold. We need to recuperate in Liyang for a few days. Did Qian Hu misunderstand what I meant? What did she say?"

When Sikong Sui heard this, he knew it was not good to avoid it. He hesitated for a while and said helplessly, "My Lord asked us to find Captain Pei, saying it was something here... We will follow Captain Pei's arrangements."

When Pei Yuan heard this, he immediately asked calmly, "Then do the brothers below know about this matter?"

Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Fang Tu said impatiently, "We are in a hurry to get here, so we don't have time to worry about these things. Now that everyone is here, Captain Pei has any ideas, just tell us."

Seeing Tan Tai Fang Tu like this, Pei Yuan simply didn't bother to pay attention to her. He turned his gaze to Si Kong Sui, who had been pretending to be a good guy, and spoke slowly.

"My father taught me when I was very young that the Jinyiwei are military households, and the most important thing is to obey military orders. I plan to pass on Han Qianhu's military order. Do you object?"

Sikong Sui's expression changed.

He was completely blocked by Pei Yuan's words.

Seeing this, Tan Tai Fang Tu still sneered and said, "Why bother with so much trouble? What, do you want to take away our military power? Captain Han asked us to come here and obey your orders, but he didn't say that all his men should obey you."

Pei Yuan was not in a hurry. He smiled at the two of them calmly and said, "Please go back."

Having said that, he drank the tea, turned around and left.
