I frowned and looked at the scrambled egg. For some reason, although the golden color was very attractive, I felt a little dazzling at this time.

At this time, Miaoyan pouted and said, "Mom, this is what I have for you!"

As soon as my daughter acted coquettishly, I had nothing to say. After all, I came here today just to calm her emotions. I forced a smile and said, "Okay, I'll give it to my mother. Of course, I won't refuse."

After saying that, he picked up and took a careful bite.

Miaoyan immediately smiled so hard that his eyes were bent. Pei Yuanhao on the other side looked at me, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

A meal, amid Miaoyan's laughter and his gentle and soothing words from time to time, finally finished it.

When the maids came to clean up the dishes, he rinsed his mouth, then wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "I have some things to deal with, what are you going to do next?"

I glanced at him and replied stiffly: "The young lady wants to accompany Miaoyan for a while."

"Yeah, that's fine."

After saying that, he turned to Miaoyan and said, "Your mother has come these two days. You can let go of your homework for the time being, but don't be too overdoing it. In two days, I will still come to ask you."

Miaoyan hurriedly stood up and smiled, "I know, my son!"

It is probably rare for her to have such a relaxed moment. As soon as Pei Yuanhao left, he couldn't wait to come over and hug me. I also forgot the unpleasant scene that happened at the dinner table just now. After all, for her, Pei Yuanhao and I were her parents, so it was indeed not a big deal to let me eat more.

Moreover, from her attitude, I know that she really let go of that matter.

This made me feel a little more relaxed. I spent more than an hour with her in her room and left until noon.

However, I did not go back to my room immediately, but went to Liu Qinghan's place.

Before I could reach the door, I just arrived at the window when I saw the window wide open. He sat at the desk and was writing something. He heard my footsteps, raised his head and immediately smiled: "You are here."

I smiled and said, "What are you writing? You're so trance."

He smiled and gestured to the side with a brush. I walked over and pushed open the door, walked in and took a look at the table, and saw him writing to Brother Zhao.

There were several letters written on the table, which were stuffed into the envelopes by him.

I asked, "You wrote so many letters in one morning? Who are you writing them all?"

He handed it to me, and I opened it and saw that he was writing a letter to his subordinates in Shu. In addition to Brother Zhao, his huge military soldiers and other commanders were of course there were other commanders. I didn't have time to see them. Now I saw the names of these people in the letter and the scope under their jurisdiction.

I read two or three letters in succession and frowned slightly: "You want to mobilize troops?"

He nodded: "Yes."

"Come to Shanxi?"

"I hope it's time."

I slowly put down the letter paper and looked down at him: "Are you not optimistic about the battle?"

The hand he held the pen was paused for a long time without writing another word. Finally, he slowly put down the pen and looked up at me: "I don't believe it, you will be optimistic."

My brows frowned slightly and didn't say anything.

Actually, he was right.

I'm not optimistic either.

There is only one Jingxing Pass and only one Zhang Gaoyuan, which cannot be our barrier. Even if Pei Yuanhao has sent troops immediately, in my opinion, it will be a matter of time before Jingxing Pass is broken. In addition, there is still Lin Sheng in Shanxi. If Pei Yuanhao doesn’t leave here quickly, I don’t think how long will the place of Jinhou be safe?

It will be a matter of time before the war is ignited.

I thought about it and said, "I really don't have any confidence in Shanxi. But if you send someone here now, I'm afraid it's really too late."

"It's okay," he said, "at least, don't let the war enter Guanzhong too early."

“…”

"I want to buy some more time for Nishikawa."

When I heard him say this, I was half sighing and half distressed, especially when I looked at the bloodshot in his eyes. I had just experienced the thrilling scene at Jingxing Pass a few days ago. His injuries have not healed yet. I met Pei Yuanhao again yesterday, and I had dealt with Miaoyan's affairs. I am busy with these things today.

I said softly, "You only care about these every day? Have you eaten well?"

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "How could I forget this?"

“…”

"But you, have you had a good breakfast?"

I couldn't help but think of the breakfast I had just had at Miaoyan's place. The piece of scrambled egg that had been digested so much that it didn't even leave the residue. It seemed like it had rebelled in my stomach, and I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing my slightly frowning, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's okay."

As I said, turning my head to the side to avoid his gaze. He glanced at me again, without saying anything, and did not continue to ask the question that seemed meaningless just now. He picked up the brush and prepared to continue writing. Only then did he find that the ink in the inkstone had dried up.

When he was about to put down his pen and get ink, I hurriedly said, "I'll do it."

After saying that, he picked up the ink strips, poured a little water into the inkstone pool, and slowly helped him grind the ink.

He smiled, then dipped in ink, and continued to lower his head to write his letter.

I stood quietly aside. When the ink was enough for him to use it, I looked at the tea cup on the side that the tea was already cold, so I went to make another cup of hot tea for him. The fragrance of the tea slowly spread around him with the rising smoke. Perhaps this was the case, and his thoughts became more relaxed. After a while, I wrote the letter. I took it and folded it into a buckle and put it in the envelope for him.

He smiled and said, "My second brother knew at a glance that you sent this letter."

"Why?"

"I'm not that stingy, I'm still folded into that shape."

I couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm called meticulous."

He no longer argued with me, just smiled and sat quietly in the chair and looked at me. I lowered my head and helped him seal the envelope "detailedly", while doing it, and said softly: "Qinghan, although I know you have your own considerations and I don't want to interfere with your approach, but I still want to remind you that you can't transfer all your people here."

His eyes flashed slightly.

I sealed the envelope and looked up at him: "When you were poisoned, you told me that I should stay at least the same thing, whether it is money or soldiers around me."

“…”

"Now, I don't think about these things because you're by my side."

“…”

"So you - whether it's money or soldiers, you have to stay by yourself."

After a while of silence, he did not speak immediately, but got up and closed the window in front of him. The light suddenly dimmed a little, but his eyes were filled with light and he said calmly: "I understand what you mean."

“…”

"Along the way, he did not resist Pei Yuanxiu's troops. I have calculated that his soldiers and the money in the treasury will not be able to fight any war. Moreover, the fact that Yangzhou was reclaimed before, including the implementation of new policies in various places, actually took back a lot of money. I had a account in my heart. This is also the reason why I refused to accept his letter at that time. But now-"

"How is it now?"

"The court did not resist the rebels at all. This may be able to protect some people in the important areas of the capital, but if they continue to go west, it will not only be Xichuan, but also Guanzhong, it will become a purgatory on earth!"

“…”

"I do this, on the one hand, can delay their attack on Xichuan, give your brother and my people some preparations; on the other hand," he sighed: "It is better to have fewer unjust souls in the city without dying."

His last words made my heart slightly shake.

This sentence is also what I once said to Pei Yuanxiu.

It turns out that no matter when or where it is, what I and him are thinking the same.

Thinking of this, my mood is not as heavy as before.

Of course, he didn't know the subtle thoughts in my heart, so he just slowly sat back into the chair, stared at the letters, and said slowly: "I just hope that my feeling is true."

My expression slighted: "What do you feel?"

He looked up at me and said, "Do you remember I told you yesterday that after I talked to him, I felt that he seemed to have a backup plan."

I nodded.

"Although he didn't mention a word about this, I could feel it."

“…”

"Besides, according to my estimate, the imperial army should have a large part of the army besides escorting the prince and his concubines, as well as the guardians around him now."

“…”

"And it's the money in the treasury."

“…”

"Pei Yuanhao is not a wealthy slave. If he still refuses to spend money now, of course he knows that he, the emperor, can't continue, but where does his money go..."

I said, "Is it in his back?"

Qinghan nodded gently: "If I guess correctly."

I couldn't help but frown.

Backhand, Pei Yuanhao's backhand?

What exactly is it? He kept so many soldiers and so much money?

I thought about it and said, "Do you want it? I'll find a way to inquire?"

When he heard this, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed my wrist: "No, you can't inquire about this!"

"Why?"

He said: "It's great to maintain this relationship between me and him now. I don't want him to know. I already know something about him."

“…”

I thought about it and nodded gently.

Indeed, we are now maintaining an equal and slightly alienated interactive relationship with Pei Yuanhao. It is the safest for us and the most beneficial for him.

In fact, as long as he doesn't think about me, I will be more satisfied with the current situation.

Qinghan said again: "There is also--"
