After the two of them looked at each other for a while, Xie Houqi finally felt as if he couldn't hold on anymore. He waved his sleeves and said, "You can do it yourself!"

After saying that, he turned around and left!

However, Pei Yuanxiu was still standing there, quietly and motionless, as if he was watching his back leave, and as if he was thinking about something.

The long pair of eyelashes are like the wings of birds when they no longer fly, and they are condensed.

I sat by the bed, looking at his silhouette, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

As I expected, from the beginning, Pei Yuanxiu and Shengjing had such a deal. It was precisely because of Pei Yuanhao's "broken contract" that Jiangnan began to have the possibility of resting and recuperation. However, because of this, he offended the powerful and wealthy people of Shengjing and was defeated in the war for the throne. To a large extent, he lost the support from Shengjing.

However, all gains come at a price.

What Pei Yuanxiu is facing now is this price.

I know that if he occupied the capital, Shengjing's hand would definitely reach to Jiangnan in the next step. This is why I asked Zhao Yuncheng and the others to stop moving, secretly united Shen Xiaokun and Wei Ningyuan's troops, and then took Yangzhou in one fell swoop after the Jinling army began to head north.

Fortunately, Pei Yuanxiu did not tell Xie Houqi the truth.

When I was in Jinling Mansion, Xie Houqi and I had already moved our fists. This person hated me to the core. If he really knew that it was my men who occupied Yangzhou and let them enter Baoshan, they would return empty-handed, I was afraid that he would kick the door and beat me up just now.

Now, all the pressure is on Pei Yuanxiu.

However, he just said that when he freed up his hands, he would take down those two places.

If you free up your hands, what else is he busy doing now?

Just as I was thinking, I saw his reflection reflected on the window. I was about to turn around and come in. I was so scared that I hurriedly lay down, closing my eyes to pretend to be asleep, but as soon as I lay down, he was about to push the door, when he heard footsteps coming from outside, Xie Feng's voice sounded-

"Young Master!"

Pei Yuanxiu's hand stopped at the door. When he turned around, he saw that it was him. He grabbed the door handle and pulled the hidden door tighter.

I opened my eyes carefully and saw Xie Feng's figure also appearing on the window.

Pei Yuanxiu said: "Are you back?"

"yes."

"Is there any news?"

"Two of the three teams sent out have returned."

"How is the situation?"

Xie Feng didn't say anything, but when he saw the shadow on the window, he shook his head gently.

Pei Yuanxiu's aura obviously sank.

Although the conversation between them was completely unfinished, after I finished listening, I quickly understood that this was what Pei Yuanxiu just told Xie Houqi. Only after completing this matter could he free up his hands to deal with the matters of Yangzhou and Huaian.

Capture Pei Yuanhao.

Seven days ago, the battle under Chongyun Pavilion seemed to be very clear now. The reason why Pei Ji appeared there was intercepted by Nangong Jinhong was because he wanted to pick up Pei Yuanhao. In other words, at that time, Pei Yuanhao's men were actually very close to them.

Pei Ji's appearance was forced to retreat to Chongyun Pavilion, making them mistakenly think that the emperor was blocked. In fact, it was to buy Pei Yuanhao time to escape.

It can be imagined that if Pei Ji had not sacrificed himself at that time, Pei Yuanhao's men would have been stopped by Nangong Jinhong and even by Shengjing's troops who appeared later. In that case, everything would be over.

But now, he fled from the capital and disappeared completely from their sight.

Pei Yuanxiu is not a naive person either. He understands Pei Yuanhao's temperament very well. He can evacuate, but it is impossible to give up the throne to him. It took him nearly ten years to return to the capital. So how much time does Pei Yuanhao have to spend to compete with him for the throne?

No one knows, and no one can tolerate such a life-and-death enemy living in the world.

So, he still wanted to catch him.

However, after hearing Xie Feng's tone, they had completely lost Pei Yuanhao's whereabouts.

But I still remember that before Yan Wuyu died, he once told me softly that the emperor might wait for me in Xichuan. If they knew this news, then Xichuan-

Thinking of this, my breath became a little confused, and outside the door, Pei Yuanxiu's breath was obviously a little confused. He was silent for a while and said, "Send a few more troops out, I must find his whereabouts!"

Xie Feng said: "Yes."

After saying that, he seemed to be ready to leave, but hesitated to stand there. Pei Yuanxiu looked up at him: "What else is there?"

Xie Feng hesitated for a while and whispered: "What's wrong with the Supreme One?"

Pei Yuanxiu said: "I'll talk about this later."

“…”

"I don't want to mention him today."

As if there was a doubt in my heart, Xie Feng looked up at him for a while. Although he was a little confused, he didn't say much after all. He nodded gently and said, "Yes."

Then he turned around and left.

I looked at the figure reflected on the window, stood outside for a while, and then slowly pushed the door open and came in.

The ground dragons in the room were very warm, which made the sudden invasion of cold currents look particularly obvious. The curtains were blown by the cold wind that poured in when the door was pushed open, and I forgot to close my eyes. As soon as I looked up, I saw him walking to the other side of the curtain.

The swaying pearl curtain blocked his eyes, but it did not block the expression with a cold breath on his face that had not yet been taken back.

Seeing that I was awake, he was still standing there for a while before reaching out to lift the curtain.

At this time, there was a bit of deliberate gentleness on my face.

He said, "You're awake."

There was no way to pretend to be asleep, so I slowly supported myself and sat on the edge of the bed. The soft brocade quilt slid down. He immediately walked over and lifted a corner of the quilt and covered me, saying, "Don't catch a cold."

I didn't say anything, because of the cold air he brought, I obediently wrapped the quilt tightly.

He looked down at me and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable today?"

I shook my head.

"If you feel uncomfortable, you will immediately send the imperial physician over."

I shook my head and said, "No, I'm not feeling uncomfortable. Just--" I looked outside: "I've been here for several days and haven't left the house. I want to go out for a walk and have some breathing."

"You want to go out?"

"Um."

He was silent for a while, and then said, "I have something important to do today. You can rest first. I will accompany you out for a walk tomorrow. Don't go out today, okay?"

This voice is so gentle that it is a little unreal.

I looked up at him, nodded silently, but a doubt arose in my heart-
Chapter completed!
