Chapter 46: Extraordinary Achievements among Extraordinary Achievements Chang Feng: "Who wants to enter your Pei Mansion? ...
The gate of the village was wide open. Not far away, the team from the post station was waiting quietly. More than a dozen horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods were lined up neatly, casting long shadows in the moonlight.
From a distance, Pei Yixue saw Xie Yushu riding his horse galloping towards him.
That dashing heroic figure and anxious face instantly absorbed all of Pei Yixue's attention.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, like the rapid beats of drums beating on his heart, as if a long time had passed since they last saw each other.
Xie Yushu pulled the reins, the horse neighed loudly, raised its front hooves high and landed steadily.
Xie Yushu jumped off his horse and rushed to Pei Yixue, grabbing his arms with both hands.
Because he was in such a hurry, Xie Yushu was breathing heavily and his chest was heaving violently.
Pei Yixue looked at the man and waited patiently for him to catch his breath.
After a while, Xie Yushu asked, "Are you okay?"
Pei Yixue's lips curled slightly, "Ashu, do you hope that I'm okay, or okay?"
"You..." Xie Yushu was choked and looked him up and down. Seeing that he still had the energy to joke, he was obviously much more relaxed.
"Are you so short of money that you have to keep that crappy post station open?" A familiar and irritating voice sounded, breaking the warm reunion atmosphere between the two.
Pei Yixue's smile froze for a moment, and he glanced in the direction of the sound. Chang Feng on horseback frowned, looking a little unfriendly.
"Fighting bandits is the job of the officials. Why are you meddling in this? Are you so impatient to be buried soon?"
He kept scolding her, and his look seemed to reveal his worry, which made Pei Yixue feel a little confused.
Shouldn't Chang Feng just hope that he would be buried sooner?
"Why didn't you tell me before going up the mountain? You left a letter behind. Do you know how worried I...we were?" Following Chang Feng, the good-tempered Xie Yushu also started to settle accounts with him. His voice was trembling, and it was obvious that he was very angry.
Pei Yixue held the other person's hand on her arm and comforted him, "The situation was urgent at the time, so I didn't have time to tell Ah Shu."
"Governor Fang knew about this early in the morning, how come you didn't have time to tell me?" Xie Yushu, who was usually easy to talk to, was obviously not so easy to fool this time. He stared at him closely, his eyes were dyed red, "Do you know how dangerous it is here?"
Xie Yushu was like that because he was worried about his safety. Pei Yixue was happy and his voice softened a few degrees.
Sincerely said: "Yes, but I promised Ah Shu that I would live a few more years, and I will never break my promise."
Xie Yushu's eyes became visibly redder.
"Ashu~" Pei Yixue said with a hint of submission and gentle coaxing, "I will never do it again. Ah Shu, can you forgive me this time?"
Xie Yushu stared at him without saying anything.
The burning gaze seemed to have a tremendous force, making Pei Yixue feel inexplicably guilty. It seemed impossible for him to say that he would never lie to Xie Yushu again.
He lowered his eyes, and started coughing with his hand lowered to divert Xie Yushu's attention.
Without waiting for Xie Yushu to react, Chang Feng beside him immediately said, "Ashu, don't believe him, he always coughs at the right time!"
But this dose of vaccination did not have any effect.
Pei Yixue's "disease" still worked in front of Xie Yushu, and Xie Yushu hurriedly supported him and stroked his back to relieve his breath, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Ashu..." Chang Feng glared at Pei Yixue as if he was disappointed with his friend.
Pei Yixue ignored this person, put away most of his strength, and leaned against Xie Yushu. His body temperature was indeed much warmer than the wind blowing around him.
He replied to Xie Yushu: "I'm fine, I just got choked by the sandstorm by accident."
"Sandstorm?" Xie Yushu quickly turned sideways to block the cold wind for him. "The Seven Heroes Cliff involves a large area and a large number of people. We probably won't be able to go down the mountain tonight. Why don't we find a place to rest first?"
"Okay." Pei Yixue responded, and followed Xie Yushu's support to walk towards the rows of houses at the back.
He didn't take more than two steps before glancing at Chang Feng, thinking, "He really has no competitiveness."
The moment their eyes met, Chang Feng shouted, "Pei Yixue! Do you have any conscience? I have cleaned up a lot of messes for you in Xitang County. When I heard that you were kidnapped to Qixia Cliff, I rushed here non-stop and killed two horses. Now you want to piss me off to death as soon as we meet!"
But Pei Yixue seemed to have turned a deaf ear to his words. He withdrew his gaze and turned around to talk to Xie Yushu.
It's still as infuriating as ever.
Soon, the team of officers and soldiers led by Governor Fang followed the marks made by Xie Yushu along the way, avoided most of the traps set by Qixia Cliff, successfully climbed up Qixia Cliff, and started the mission of sweeping Qixia Cliff.
The Seven Heroes Cliff, which had been elusive before, was now easily breached, and all the bandits were captured in their sleep.
And the situation inside the cave was exactly as Pei Yixue had imagined.
The cave was like an underground palace, with nearly 20,000 people lying all over the ground, most of them well-trained regular soldiers.
This time, Pei Yixue had accomplished more than just a miraculous feat; it was simply the most miraculous of all miraculous feats.
Qixia Cliff is a long way from Yancheng, and the effect of the medicine on the bandits had worn off by the time they were escorted back to the city.
The afternoon sun was shining through the gaps in the woods, and Pei Yixue and his group were stopping the car to rest.
"Lin Feng! I respect you as a man and treat you as a brother, but you colluded with the government to plot against Qixia Cliff. You deserve your whole family to be killed by the dog officials!" A bandit saw Lin Feng safe and sound and mingling with Pei Yixue and his group, and started yelling and cursing at Lin Feng.
Xing Wenhan, who was sitting in the prison car next to him, was wearing a blue shirt and staring at Pei Yixue. His eyes seemed unwilling and thoughtful. His lips moved slightly, as if he was muttering something in a low voice.
Suddenly, Xing Wenhan chuckled, and the laughter seemed particularly abrupt in the depressing atmosphere filled with prison cars everywhere.
He shouted at Pei Yixue: "Why Pei Yixue, why?"
Pei Yixue raised her eyelids and looked over. "Manager Xing, what do you mean by that? I was tied up on the Seven Heroes Cliff. Why did I try to save myself?"
Xing Wenhan was silent for a moment, "You still don't believe I can heal you?"
Xing Wenhan knew how much Pei Yixue wanted to have a healthy body, and he had clearly promised to cure Pei Yixue, but Pei Yixue still chose to betray him.
Pei Yixue did not answer, but said: "Manager Xing, it is meaningless to say this now."
"Can you cure him?" Pei Yixue didn't want to say anything more to Xing Wenhan, but Xie Yushuo beside him couldn't help but walk closer and asked tentatively.
Xing Wenhan stared at Xie Yushu again and again, his eyes revealing a trace of scrutiny, and then he said firmly: "I can."
"What method?" Xie Yushu almost got on the prison van, his tone full of anxiety and anticipation.
Pei Yixue hurriedly grabbed the man and said, "Ashu, his method may not work."
"Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we should give it a try." Xie Yushu persuaded him, and turned to discuss the conditions with Xing Wenhan: "How can you tell me the truth?"
"How?" Xing Wenhan laughed, his eyes fixed on Pei Yixue, "He said that as long as I can cure him, he will marry me."
"I will pledge myself to you?" Xie Yushu looked at Pei Yixue and said like a parrot.
Pei Yixue sighed secretly and said to Xing Wenhan: "Manager Xing, the reason why Pei dared to say this that day was because no one in this world can cure me."
Xing Wenhan questioned: "So, you said that you would be willing to marry me if I cured your illness, but you never thought about fulfilling your promise."
"It's not that I've never thought about fulfilling my promise, but that I've never been able to fulfill it." Pei Yixue replied in a calm and firm voice.
"If you don't try, how do you know I can't cure you?" Xing Wenhan was dissatisfied.
"No need to try." Pei Yixue said, "Besides, I'm afraid Manager Xing doesn't have this opportunity now."
Xing Wenhan was stunned, then he glanced at the cage that trapped him and laughed softly: "You destroyed the Seven Heroes Cliff, do you think you can get out easily? I may not survive." He glanced at the people outside the cage one by one: "But you and your people will come down to accompany me soon."
Xie Yushu and Chang Feng could not help but frown, trying to guess what Xing Wenhan meant. But Pei Yixue knew that Xing Wenhan was simply saying that the mastermind behind the Seven Heroes Cliff would not easily let go of those who participated in the suppression of the bandits.
"Then, Manager Xing, please just watch from below." Pei Yixue didn't think he would die, so he pulled Xie Yushu away from the prison van.
Xie Yushu followed hesitantly, still harboring illusions about what Xing Wenhan said: "What if his method really works?"
"No." Pei Yixue stopped when they were some distance away from the prison van, turned around and looked at Xie Yushu and said jokingly: "He needs me to be his healer. He colluded with the rebels and attempted rebellion. Now he must be put in prison. Doesn't he want me to die with him? Ah Shu, do you want me to go?"
Xie Yushu thought: "Perhaps, we can persuade him to change the conditions."
"Ashu." Chang Feng approached. "Pei Yixue's illness is currently too severe for even Xu Yi to treat. The guy in the prison car is not even as good as Xu Yi. How could it be possible? Moreover, judging from what he just said, he wants to drag us down with him. Don't fall for his trick."
Listening to Chang Feng's words, Pei Yixue didn't know how Chang Feng managed to make his words sound both pleasing and unpleasant to the ear.
What do you mean he is not even as good as Xu Yi? Is his medical skills comparable to Xing Wenhan's?
Fortunately, Chang Feng's words temporarily dispelled the impulse in Xie Yushu's heart and made him no longer focus on finding Xing Wenhan.
Sitting back under the big tree, Pei Yixue took out the map and continued to look at it. Before he could see even a single word, Chang Feng came over again in a mean manner.
"Hey, pledge yourself to me? I didn't expect you have this habit." There was a hint of teasing and mocking in Chang Feng's words.
Pei Yixue looked over and Chang Feng said with a smile, "We should be honest, right?"
"What?" Pei Yixue was puzzled.
"Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. Whoever can cure you must be my partner." Chang Feng spoke confidently, as if he had found something weak on him.
Pei Yixue smiled and asked, "Why? Master Chang also wants to marry into my Pei Mansion?"
Chang Feng was suddenly provoked and said, "Who wants to enter your Pei Mansion?! I mean, I will find an old doctor to cure you, and then I will match you up with someone so that you won't be pestering Ah Shu."
"Suit yourself." Pei Yixue glanced at Chang Feng, lowered his head and opened the map in his hand to look at it carefully.
"That's settled then!"
Pei Yixue frowned slightly, blocked out Chang Feng's voice, and pointed his index finger at the location of the Seven Heroes Cliff on the map.
Qixia Cliff is a good place. It has always been a fortress that merchants must pass through. It is well connected. Now, after years of construction by bandits, it is simply a natural place for his Jishi Post Station, a national transit hub.
Now that the great feat he promised to Governor Fang has been fulfilled, it is time for the other party to fulfill what he promised to him.
Take over the Seven Heroes Cliff, and... Pei Yixue's fingertips brushed across the brocade box beside him, and lying inside was the thousand-year-old ginseng.
With these two things, it would be worthwhile for him to take the risk of being assassinated or plotted against by the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Mr. Pei, my governor invites you." A guard came to the three of them and said to Pei Yixue.
Pei Yixue raised a barely perceptible smile upon hearing this.
This is what he's been waiting for.
