Although he has always been so calm and calm, how can a person's heart be so calm and calm, and how can he really not care about anything. Even like him, there will be worries and worries.

Uneasy, not to mention that today, after I got the news from Yangzhou, I suddenly proposed to cross the river with him. How could he not have any ideas?

I smiled and said, "Are you worried that my hope is for a certain person?"

"..."

"Because he has arrived in Yangzhou, I want you to abandon Yangzhou; because he is here, I want to cross the river with you."

"..." He looked at me silently, and after a while, he slowly said: "Qingying, I know I shouldn't ask, because - your heart is not with me yet. But, because of this, I

There's no way I can't care less."

I can't help but care.

When I heard these words, it was obviously just a very light tone, but it made me tremble inexplicably.

In a daze, I remembered what Nangong Lizhu once said. She said that she had always felt that Pei Yuanxiu was an emotionless person. His joys, anger, sorrows and joys had always seemed to be separated by a layer of veil in front of her eyes, and she could never see clearly.

He felt it in his heart

What was she thinking? It was only on their wedding night, when she heard the drunk Pei Yuanxiu shouting my name and saying that he wanted to give me happiness, that she suddenly felt that this person was so real.

At that moment, it seemed that I could also relate to her feeling.

He said that he couldn't care less.

Even if he can calmly say that I don't love him, even if he can still calmly hope that I will give him a chance at the moment of life and death, so that the seed has a chance to grow, but in fact, he is not as indifferent as he appears on the surface.

.He will also have urgent expectations, he will also have worries, and there will be things that he cannot let go of.

He can't help but care about who the hope I am raising for him is for.

I laughed instead.

Looking at my faint smile, he was a little stunned and seemed at a loss. I looked into his eyes and said seriously: "Do you still remember what I said to you when I left Jiangnan?

”

"...If you are the only one within ten steps, do you want me to take another ten steps?"

I shook my head gently.

"When the war breaks out, the people are displaced and corpses litter the fields. How innocent the people are."

"..."

"I'm not begging you for any one person."

"..."

"I am begging you on behalf of all those who may have been ravaged by war."

"..."

"Yuan Xiu, avoiding a war is equivalent to saving thousands of people from water and fire. It is a greater merit than building billions of pagodas."

He was silent and didn't speak. From his dark eyes, I couldn't see clearly what he was thinking. I could only say to him in a gentler voice: "You said, I hope I can raise your heart."

Seed, but I don’t know whether or how this seed can grow. But I think if you can cultivate these merits, God will not fail you. Maybe this seed can still be with you when it grows up.

Longer."

He was silent for a long time, then repeated: "Do you want me to abandon Yangzhou and return to Jiangnan?"

"Yes."

I nodded and looked at him eagerly: "You have occupied the natural moat of the Yangtze River. The emperor did not dare to touch you before. It is precisely because of this best natural barrier. Moreover, the court has always avoided your navy camp.

If you retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, it will be difficult for him to fight, and he will not dare to fight easily; you should not go north again, okay?"

From ancient times to the present, there are many examples of two completely independent regimes separated by a river. Although this may be suspected of splitting the dynasty, compared with war, compared with their brothers fighting each other, compared with thousands of

Thousands of people have fallen into the flames of war, but I still prefer to retain the peace in front of me.

If in the future, there can be a gentler way to unify the north and the south and create the prosperous age that Pei Yuanhao and Pei Yuanfeng expected, it will naturally be the icing on the cake, but for now, I just hope not to make things worse.

Pei Yuanxiu fell silent.

He had been silent just now because he was listening to me, and the silence now is because he was thinking.

I can even see the fierce collision of light in his eyes through the flickering candlelight.

The two of us were facing each other for an unknown amount of time. The night was dark and the chill was so strong that the tips of my fingers were already cold. I subconsciously raised them up and put them in the candlelight. When I felt a little warmth, Pei Yuanxiu raised his head.

Look at me.

"Qingying."

"...!" I looked at him nervously.

"I promise to return to Jinling."

"Really?!" I was overjoyed and subconsciously grabbed his sleeve: "You really promise me?!"

"Yes." He nodded. Compared to my ecstasy, although he smiled, he still had a calm tone: "However, who can guarantee what he will do in Yangzhou when he goes south?"

"..."

I was stunned and my hand on his sleeve loosened up.

Yes, who knows what he will do next?

Killing all Pei Yuanxiu's people in Yangzhou Mansion and promulgating a new order. This is his beginning. What's next for him?

Wen Fengxi also followed him south. Is it possible that a general went south just to open the city gate?

Just as the uneasiness rising in my heart became more and more serious, Pei Yuanxiu said: "Actually, you also want to see him, don't you?"

I nodded subconsciously, but suddenly felt that this sentence was wrong, and looked at him in shock: "What?"

"I just said, I have something to tell you."

"...What is it?"

"Just today, I have sent someone to post a message for him."

"..."

"Three days later, Wangjiang Pavilion."

"..."
