I Was Sold to My Mortal Enemy (Double Transmigrations)

Pei Xing carried Shi Yi to clean his body and then placed him gently on the bed, covering him with a thin quilt. He himself was unclothed, so he went to fetch some clothes and dressed himself. He also found a clean undershirt for Shi Yi. Turning around, he noticed the intense gaze of the person on the bed.

As soon as he was discovered, the person turned his head away.

Pei Xing smiled softly, his eyes tender, and he walked over to embrace Shi Yi, planting kisses on him and caressing his face. There was a playful tone in his voice.

“You haven’t seen enough? You could watch openly. Your husband can indulge you for a little while longer.”

Shi Yi blushed, glared at him, and said with annoyance, “Who wants to watch you? I have something to discuss with you.”

Pei Xing kissed him, raised an eyebrow, looked at his exhausted face, and his voice turned gentler.

“Alright, what’s on your mind? Husband is here to listen.”

What Shi Yi wanted to discuss was the incident with County Master Liu from the previous day. He, as the victim, provided more detailed information than the innkeeper. He shared many intricate details.

Pei Xing was shocked to hear this and felt grateful that he had given Shi Yi the gun. Otherwise, Shi Yi might not have survived the confrontation with County Master Liu.

The Prince of Chengyang County and the County Master Liu resided in Baiyin City, enjoying protection from the Empress Dowager. They had a history of committing heinous acts, including arson, murder, assault, and looting.

They often exhibited violent and cruel behavior, which was largely ignored by the people of Baiyin City. They targeted the powerless and dared not provoke the influential and wealthy individuals. The Empress Dowager turned a blind eye to their actions, effectively allowing them to continue.

Shi Yin held Pei Xing’s wrist the concern in his face. Despite his exhaustion, Shi Yi was determined to speak, “I think I may have shoot her in the chest yesterday. Do you think she might… die?”

Pei Xing patted him on the back, offering comfort. His eyes turned serious, and his voice remained calm as he said, “It would be fitting if she perished. She has caused a great deal of harm to Baiyin City.”

“But… she is the County Master. If she dies, her father, Prince Chengyang, will certainly seek retribution.”

Shi Yi hesitated for a moment and then had an idea. His eyes lit up as he looked at Pei Xing.

“Why don’t we escape quickly, buy a boat, and flee overseas? We can take Aunt Hong, little Hong Luo, Xiao Liu,” Shi Yi suddenly remembered about Pei Xing’s household record was under Father Song too, “let’s take Father Song and his family with us. If the prince found us guilty, Song Ning and his family would also face punishment.”

Pei Xing observed how deeply frightened Shi Yi was this time. He kissed his forehead with distress and said, “It’s not as dire as you think. I’m here, so don’t be afraid.”

However, Shi Yi remained skeptical. Throughout history, imperial authority had always prevailed. Despite Pei Xing’s Juren status, they were ultimately ordinary people who couldn’t challenge royal families.

Seeing Shi Yi’s persistent anxiety, Pei Xing decided to reveal Xie Yu’s true identity.

Shi Yi opened his mouth in astonishment, “He’s actually Prince Liang!”

“Yes, I once saved his life, so if I ask for his help, he might be able to assist us.”

Shi Yi was still doubtful. Xie Yu had no obligation to help them without any connection to their situation. His face displayed a bitter expression.

“He has also saved me before. It should’ve been paid this time.” Shi Yi appeared troubled and asked with a frown, “But he has no connection to us. Why would he risk offending the prince for our sake?”

Pei Xing thought of the shuanger who had assisted him in the courtyard the previous day and stated, “They will help us solve this issue, so don’t worry.”

Pei Xing touched Shi Yi’s eyes, which were nearly swollen from crying, and sighed deeply.

“If all else fails, as you suggested, we can purchase a boat and escape overseas.”

Shi Yi felt some relief but remained distressed. In just over a month since his arrival, he had faced multiple difficulties. It seemed his fate was truly unfortunate.

Pei Xing also felt a great deal of emotion. While they had been fortunate to find each other in this peculiar time and place, he still yearned to live in the 21st century. In that civilized world, despite his father’s opposition to their relationship, he had never posed any threat to Shi Yi. In that world, at the very least, Shi Yi’s safety was guaranteed.

Pei Xing spent some time comforting Shi Yi and then got up to dress before heading to find Song Ning and the others.

While Shi Yi had the passion wave, Pei Xing heard the commotion but he couldn’t leave at that moment, believing that Xie Yu would come to their aid.

.

As he approached the courtyard where Zhou Yan and Song Ning resided, he saw Xie Yu and Qin Yue standing inside.

Upon spotting Pei Xing, all four individuals in the group cleared their throats awkwardly, and Song Ning immediately blushed.

Pei Xing noticed their reactions but decided to skip the pleasantries. He addressed Xie Yu directly, “I’d like to meet General Ding.”

Xie Yu knew that Pei Xing had likely figured out his identity since he met two people yesterday.

In past four years, he had received life-saving medicine from Pei Xing no less than a hundred times.

Four years ago, Xie Yu had ventured to Shihun Mountain in search of medicine, after he was gravely injured. Pei Xing had saved his life and the two had become friends.

Initially, Xie Yu had approached Pei Xing only to acquire medicine, but as they grew closer, he realized that Pei Xing had unresolved personal issues. He conducted a discreet investigation and confirmed that this man was his long-lost second brother, who he had been searching for over ten years.

Eager to bring him back home and reunite him with his eldest brother, Xie Yu excitedly tried to persuade him. But the man firmly declined, expressing a desire to wait for his wife and save money to provide him with a good life.

When Xie Yu inquired about the wife, the man only coldly responded, “He is mine.”

Stunned, Xie Yu couldn’t believe his ears and jumped angrily on the spot. He shouted and pointed at him, “You are just a fool. You have been in the temple for six years. Where did you get a wife from? Come back with me first, if you want a wife, I will ask your eldest brother to arrange one for you…” before the rest of sentence was out, he was thrown out of the house by his collar.

At that time, Xie Yu felt that his “silly second brother” hadn’t completely overcome his idiocy and decided to inform their eldest brother in Xizhou. However, despite the urgent situation in Xizhou at the time, their elder brother only replied, “Mr. Xie, take good care of him.”

Xie Yu didn’t press the matter further and took care of his “silly second brother” in secret for the next few years.

What he didn’t expect was that in three years, this man had saved a substantial amount of money and passed an exam. Furthermore, he had found a wife and married just the month before.

Excited, Xie Yu hastily sent a letter to their eldest brother in Xizhou. With the war in Xizhou having subsided, their eldest brother made the journey to Feixue Pavilion in Huanyue Tower. However, when he arrived, he deemed it was not the right time to reveal their familial relationship and had since stayed in Feixue Pavilion.

.

Upon their arrival at Feixue Pavilion, they saw Pei Zhengchen standing in the courtyard, dressed in a dark gold, wide-sleeved brocade robe, exuding an imposing presence. He observed them, took a few steps forward, and approached Pei Xing. He examined him for a moment, a sense of relief in his gaze.

“Yes, he’s much stronger than he was as a child.”

“Aren’t you afraid of mistaking the person?”

Pei Xing had a deep admiration for the general guarding Dayu Dynasty. Although he posed this question, he had an inkling that the person before him was indeed his eldest brother.
