The second day.
Pei Yun got up and washed up with the help of the maid. He and Xiao Zhiruo chatted until very late last night before going back to their room to sleep. Xiao Zhiruo was like a curious baby, asking questions about everything.
If it were anyone else, Pei Yun probably wouldn't have such good patience, but Xiao Zhiruo happened to be pretty. Pei Yun wasn't the type to judge people by appearance, but chatting with pretty girls was always a pleasure.
In addition, Xiao Zhiruo has a gentle voice, and it is a pleasure to be with her.
Moreover, looking at Xiao Zhiruo's curious, admiring and somewhat shocked expressions, Pei Yun also felt a sense of accomplishment. This was different from the shock that made Liu Yiyi and Xue Qianqian, because this was the daughter of a prince.
No matter her status or vision, she was incomparable to the other two women. Moreover, she was known as a talented woman. Therefore, Pei Yun was very happy to see these little expressions on Xiao Zhiruo's face.
At least the emotional value was maximized, so we talked more about some business methods. Of course, they were all the most basic. If we talked too much, Xiao Zhiruo would not understand and would need to explain various terms.
But even so, Xiao Zhiruo already admired him to the core and regarded him as a god. No one she knew had such a deep understanding of business.
I really feel that listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books, and I even have the urge to tie Pei Yun to my belt.
"Sir, the princess is waiting for you in the hall to have dinner together."
Pei Yun nodded to show that he understood, and then went to the hall with the maid.
In the hall, Xiao Zhiruo saw Pei Yun coming, a smile appeared on her face, and she stood up to greet him. After Pei Yun greeted her, the two of them had dinner together.
"Brother Wenchao, if you are not in a hurry, why don't you stay in Shudu for a few more days and I will take you around."
Xiao Zhiruo spoke.
"I'm anxious."
Pei Yun immediately said that he didn't have time to stay here all the time. Although he had left food in the village, it had been more than half a month since he left. It would take almost ten days to go back. If he played here for a few more days, it would be more than a month.
To be honest, after coming out, Pei Yun still missed the life in the mountain stronghold, where he was carefree and free, and didn't have to deal with any nobles or captains.
He just guarded his one and a half mu of land and did whatever he wanted. Shu City was prosperous, but for Pei Yun, who was used to big cities, it was new on the first day, but after a few days, it was just like that.
So anxious to go back.
When Xiao Zhiruo heard Pei Yun's answer, she looked up at him in surprise. What she had just said was already a tactful way of expressing her feelings.
Spend a few more days with Pei Yun, develop feelings, and get the hang of it, and it will almost be a natural progression.
After returning home last night, she thought about it for a long time and felt that Pei Yun was the ideal husband she was looking for. Although it was the first time they met, Xiao Zhiruo felt that no one was more suitable for her than Pei Yun.
He is good at both literature and martial arts, and can do business. Isn't this her ideal husband?
It was rare for her to take the initiative to ask a man to stay and cultivate a relationship, but she didn't expect Pei Yun to refuse, which made her not know what to say for a moment.
After holding it in for a long time, he said, "Brother Wenchao, are you in a hurry to go back? Is there something important?"
Pei Yun nodded. "Your Highness knows that my men have just become volunteers and still don't understand a lot. So I have to go back and teach them. I also have to train them as soon as possible so that if the barbarians come again, we can better deal with them."
Xiao Zhiruo had nothing to say. Pei Yun's words made sense.
But she really didn't want to let Pei Yun leave like this, so she said, "Then I'll go back to Ruifeng County with you."
Now it was Pei Yun's turn to be confused. No, Princess, you really like me.
I was a bandit before, and now I'm just a captain. No matter my status or position, I'm no match for you. Besides, Pei Yun doesn't want Xiao Zhiruo to know his secret.
Although he had a good impression of Xiao Cheng, as a prince, he was in a high position and had great power. If he knew his secret, it would be hard for him to not have any evil thoughts about it.
After all, the superior certainly wants to have absolute control over his subordinates, and the group of bandits will only listen to themselves, so this is the variable.
The most important thing is that Pei Yun couldn't explain clearly the sources of the supplies and weapons in the mountain stronghold. This would inevitably make people suspicious and wonder if he had some ulterior motive for not saying it.
As for the idea that he is a god, it is just to fool the common people. Those in higher positions probably don't believe it. Even if they do, they will probably just be used as tools.
Therefore, Pei Yun did not want to expose the stronghold for the time being before he had sufficient self-protection capabilities.
After thinking for a while, he said, "The princess is a precious lady, and I don't know if the prince will agree to go to Ruifeng County."
Xiao Zhiruo smiled and said, "My father will definitely have no objection."
Pei Yun couldn't find any excuse for Xiao Zhiruo not to go for the time being, so he could only think of letting Xiao Zhiruo live in Ruifeng County and not letting her go to the mountain village.
After breakfast, the two went to see Xiao Cheng, and Xiao Zhiruo suggested going to Ruifeng County to take a look.
Xiao Cheng was a little surprised. His daughter seldom went out, and now she was going to Ruifeng County, obviously for Pei Yun.
It seems that he is really moved. He did not object to Xiao Zhiruo going to Ruifeng County, although he wanted Xiao Zhiruo to marry a member of the noble family so that the noble family could serve him better.
But since his daughter liked Pei Yun, he had no objection. He was also very satisfied with the three questions Pei Yun answered yesterday. He had asked Lu Jingxuan to sort out Pei Yun's strategy for pacifying the barbarians overnight and prepare to send it to the court. Of course, he wanted to deliver it personally, but the prince had not summoned him, so he could not return to Beijing privately. He could only write a letter to the emperor first to see if he agreed to let him go to Jinling.
In Xiao Cheng's eyes, Pei Yun is a rare talent. If his daughter marries him, he can be used better by him.
Therefore, even though Pei Yun used to be a bandit and was now only a captain, he had no objection to his daughter marrying down.
