After leaving the palace, the carriage walked for a long time before leaving the imperial city. Listening to the whimpering wind outside and the broken snow floating in from the curtains blown by the wind, it gave people a bone-cold feeling.

In fact, the road from Beijing to Tianjin is not far, but such a huge team cannot get faster.

I stayed at the inn overnight that night.

The wind was even louder that night than during the day. It blew all night, and there seemed to be some other sounds mixed in the wind. However, because I was so tired of being bumped by the carriage during the day, I was awakened several times, but I didn't ask, but soon fell into a deep sleep again.

Fortunately, the strong wind that night blew away the dark clouds.

When I woke up early the next morning, I saw the sunlight shining in from the window, and even the light in front of my eyes was bright.

Qiu'er went to open the window and originally wanted to ventilate the room, but as soon as the window opened, she looked out and immediately said "ah" in surprise.

I asked, "What's wrong?"

"Well--"

She hesitated a little, as if she didn't know what to say. I got up and walked over slowly. Lu'er hurried over to support me, walked to the window and looked out, and she gasped in surprise.

What did you see?

I could not see anything, and when I heard them perform like this, I became even more confused.

After I asked again and again, Lu'er said, "Miss Yan, the way we came was broken."

"ah?"

I felt a little confused, and Qiu'er next to me said, "The road has been destroyed."

“…”

I was quiet for a while and lay on the windowsill. The sun shone on my face warmly, but a gust of cold wind blew over, which made me wake up a little from that warmth.

Pei Yuanxiu destroyed the road.

No wonder I kept hearing some strange sounds last night. In my dream, I even thought that some monster was roaring. It turned out that he had walked through a place and immediately someone destroyed the road from behind.

This move is not only a matter of hatred, but also awesome.

Pei Yuanhao went south with Shengjing's men and horses. Of course, Shengjing's men and horses were all cavalry. The requirements for cavalry combat were much stricter than infantry. The flatter the place, the more they were. If these people went south and really wanted to chase Tianjin, the speed was very amazing, and they might not be able to wait for the response of the Tianjin defenders.

However, once the road is destroyed, these cavalry will be embarrassed.

Even if they arrive in the capital and want to continue walking to Tianjin, this journey will be enough for them to spend some time.

And Pei Yuanhao...

Of course, his team is mostly infantry, but his artillery team...

Such heavy weapons are very difficult to transport when they are on the snow field. I was so anxious that before every battle, he would send someone to the road a day in advance, with the purpose of transporting those bulky things.

And now, Pei Yuanxiu has destroyed the road.

If those things are to be transported, it will be difficult.

He is cutting off his own way of retreat, but he is also delaying time through this method.

I was silent for a while, slowly walked back to the table and sat down. Lu'er and Qiu'er lay on the windowsill and watched for a long time. When the two of them turned around and walked back, they were a little silent.

It was not until breakfast that Qiu'er finally couldn't help but ask me: "Ms. Yan."

"Um?"

"We, can't we go back?"

“…”

"The emperor destroyed the road. Can't we go back to the capital and the palace?"

“…”

I was silent for a long time before I raised my head and smiled faintly at her: "Since I'm here, let's have peace."

“…”

She didn't say anything, but she became even more silent with Lu'er.

After breakfast, we are about to set off.

When we set off from the Imperial City yesterday, there were many people and messy people, but today, there were very few people talking and their voices were much lower. Perhaps everyone saw Pei Yuanxiu destroying the road, so everyone's mood became heavier.

After getting on the carriage silently, the convoy continued to move forward.

Although the sun is shining, such warmth cannot bring more warmth to people's hearts.

Pei Yuanxiu and I were in the same carriage, but neither of us spoke anymore. We walked silently for a long time and finally arrived in Tianjin.

It is said that before, the troops attacking Tianjin had arrived at the city of Tianjin, and the battle situation was very critical. However, because of my advice, Pei Yuanxiu transferred most of the troops in the capital here, so he temporarily removed the position of Tianjin. However, the troops attacked did not retreat, but were stationed less than twenty miles away from Tianjin.

When we entered Tianjin City, all the people here ran out.

After all, the emperor went on a patrol, and it was during wartime, so this situation was rare.

But as I walked along the way, listening to the voices outside, although the people were all out, there were not many people. I remembered in a daze that when I followed Pei Yuanxiu north and entered Tianjin City, it almost became an "empty city". Yu Wenying was worried that Pei Yuanxiu would massacre the city and emptied the city in advance.

Now, even if the dynasty changes and some ordinary people come back, they have not been able to restore the prosperity of Tianjin City in the past.

What these people probably didn't expect was that so soon, Tianjin City would have to undergo another baptism of war.

After walking on the main road for a while, I vaguely felt that the road seemed to have been passed by, so I asked softly: "Where are we going?"

Pei Yuanxiu said in a deep voice: "Yuwen Mansion."

“…”

It turned out that it was Yu Wenying and his family.

Yu Wenying once told me that the reason why he stayed in Tianjin when Pei Yuanxiu and his friends captured Tianjin and then occupied the capital was because his grandfather was still alive. But later, when Yu Wen Kang passed away, he appeared in the Gobi Desert.

This place has no meaning to him.

Pei Yuanxiu's decision to come to Tianjin was too hasty. At this time, there was still time to build a palace for him, so he directly used the Yuwen family's mansion.

So, after walking for a while, our convoy stopped outside the gate of Yuwen Mansion.

The last time I came here, the place was so quiet that there was no voice, but this time, the place was as quarrel as a boiling pot. After all, Pei Yuanxiu moved half of the palace.

I got out of the carriage, but because I had not moved for a long time, my knees were sore that I almost fell down as soon as I landed. At this time, a person next to me rushed up and held me up: "Be careful!"

As soon as I heard this sound, I could hear it: "Young Master Song?"
