"You can't be, you still want to go back, right?"

“…”

He looked at me for a while and just smiled: "No, either."

"Then what do you do to keep looking back?"

"I'm just waiting for the news that I feel warm."

"His news? What news?"

"I asked him to patrol at Sanjiangkou before. After the Sanjiang Dam collapsed, Jiangling's troops were washed away by the flood. I told him that I would be rewarded with any situation there."

I said, "Then what are you waiting for? If there is no situation, it should be a good thing."

“…”

He was stunned for a moment, looked down at me, and then smiled: "Yes. I'm just a little worried."

I looked at him for a while, slowly leaned my head on his shoulder, and said softly: "I can even hand over all the Yan family to Wei Yang, a small Sanjiangkou, why can't you hand it to Wen Ruyu with confidence? You have to worry about everything like this, when will you let go of all this?"

“…”

He was silent for a long time before he whispered: "Okay, I understand."

The rain continued to fall for several days. When we finally arrived near Jiange, the rain finally stopped, but the road was still muddy and difficult to walk. The carriage could only be abandoned. Let the driver rush back to Chengdu and we walked slowly along the rugged mountain road.

Although there was no rain, the fog was thick between the mountains and ridges, and there was no sign of people in front of us almost a few steps away. We walked inside, as if we were walking in a fairyland.

But such a fairyland does not look so comfortable. The surrounding thorns are thick and dense, and they scrape our clothes and ankles from time to time. After a while, my arms were thorned several times. The ground was covered with mud and it was very difficult to walk. I almost slipped to it several times.

Fortunately, Qinghan kept holding my hand.

Although it arrived at noon, it was already evening when we boarded Pei Yuanfeng's military camp.

This place was the same as when we came before, with strict guards. He got the news in advance and knew that we were coming, so he sent a team of men to greet him first.

Among the crowd we came to greet us, we could see a familiar figure at a glance.

Yang Jinqiao.

I saw her here again after many days. I couldn't help but be surprised. I thought that after Pei Yuanhao entered Xichuan, she should have left here and went to Xi'an Mansion, but I didn't expect that she was still here, and her clothes had changed from the soft and luxurious clothes that Empress Ning had previously, to a very simple coat. Standing among the crowd, she really didn't recognize her at first glance.

However, Pei Yuanhao saw her at a glance.

He walked over quickly. When Yang Jinqiao saw him, his eyes lit up, stepped forward a few steps, and then leaned over to salute him: "Emperor."

Pei Yuanhao walked to her before stopping, looked down at her, and was silent before saying, "How are you leaving?"

Yang Jinqiao whispered: "All the sisters have left. When you arrive in Xi'an Mansion, your Majesty doesn't have to worry."

"Then why are you still here?"

"But Your Majesty enters Xichuan alone, and I am always worried. So I can stay here, and there is a way to take care of it."

Pei Yuanhao looked at her with a little moved.

Those concubines may not know, but Yang Jinqiao could not have known that before Pei Yuanhao confirmed the peace talks with the head of the Yan family, or even before the peace talks were successful, Xichuan was a bottomless deep pool for them, and it was even difficult to distinguish between enemies and friends. She stayed here. If Pei Yuanhao really had something wrong in Xichuan, it would be difficult for her to escape unstoppable.

However, she actually stayed in Jiange to "take care of" Pei Yuanhao.

This move can be said to have paid all my life and life here.

Pei Yuanhao looked at her quietly for a while before reaching out and holding her arm and holding her up, then said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"I dare not speak of my hardship."

I looked at Yang Jinqiao's haggard face, and it seemed that I had not had a good rest these days.

When she turned her head, she saw Ye Yunshuang standing behind us with Princess Ling. Of course, she also saw this scene, her expression seemed very complicated.

At this time, a man who looked like a military officer next to him walked over and said, "Everyone, the young master has arranged a residence for you. Please follow us into the village."

It seems that Pei Yuanfeng did not plan to come out to see us.

Several of us looked at each other and didn't say much. We followed the man into the village. It was the same as when we came before. After we settled our residence, it became dark.

Qinghan and I were tired for a day and had no appetite. After eating a little bit of food, the maid next to Xue Muhua came to invite us. We followed us, but we were still in the previous yard. As soon as we walked to the door, we heard a small sound. The princess's laughter was like a silver bell, with a refreshing sweetness.

I immediately turned around and said to Qinghan: "It's Xiaoxiao."

He nodded, and a little smile appeared on his face. The people in the room heard our voices, and a sound of footsteps rang out. Xue Muhua had already taken the child to the door and said with a smile: "You are here."

"lady."

We walked over together. When both sides saw the gift, I looked down at the little one who had grown up significantly better than before. I smiled and said, "How long has it been since I saw you, the child has grown a lot taller."

Xue Muhua smiled and said, "Is that so? I don't even think so."

"That's because you look at the child every day, so you don't feel it."

I bent down and looked straight into the child's eyes, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, do you still remember me?"

This child doesn't know whether he remembers me, but he looked at me with big watery eyes for a while, and suddenly smiled, and hid behind her mother as if shy. Seeing her innocent and cute appearance, we couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Pei Yuanfeng walked over from behind us and said, "You are here."

He must have just been out, but he didn't see him on the way we came. I think he should have gone to the other side, that is, where Pei Yuanhao and his concubines were placed.

I smiled and said, "Long time no see."

He nodded, greeted Qinghan, and everyone took off their shoes and walked into the room.

Although the rain had stopped, the fog in the mountains was still very heavy. I don’t know how long he had been out. When he came back, he was covered in water vapor. Xue Muhua didn’t let him hold the child immediately. He went in and changed his clothes before coming out. Pei Yuanfeng also listened silently.

Xue Muhua sat with us at the table, holding the child who was constantly crawling on the ground with one hand, afraid that she would hit the corner of the table and hurt herself, so she said to us: "I heard that a lot of things happened to you this time you entered Sichuan."

I nodded gently.

"He is the head of the family—"

“…”

Although the sadness in my heart has slowly calmed down, it still hurts when others mention it. Seeing that my eyes were red, Xue Muhua immediately stopped talking and looked at me hesitantly, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Pei Yuanfeng changed his clothes from the inner room and said, "There are not many people here who know about this."

I looked back at him.

He said, "Only I, a few close deputy generals around me, know that we have been waiting for you to come, just want to ask you what is going on with the Yan family now."

I would like to entrust Wei Yang to tell Pei Yuanfeng about the matters of the Yan family to him.

Pei Yuanfeng frowned, and after a long time, he slowly said: "I'm not worried about doing things, but I still want to ask - is he qualified?"

He did not ask about character or ability of this person, but directly asked about "qualification".

This sentence is quite rude.

However, I can also understand his psychology, especially since he just said this, not much of the people here know about it until now, only he and a few deputy generals around him know it. Obviously, they are worried that the news of Qingchen's death will cause panic. If it is just a panic in Chengdu, there is still a way to appease him. But this is the army, and the most important Jiange guarding Xichuan. If the people here are confused, it is easy to have a mutiny in the army.

I was silent for a moment, and then said solemnly: "He cannot be said to be completely qualified, but during the days when Qingchen passed away, he stabilized the situation in the Yan family."

“…”

After hearing this, Pei Yuanfeng's eyebrows relaxed a little, but he immediately asked, "What about the future?"

“…”

"You handed over the Yan family to him, but you left Chengdu."

He was obviously worried about the future direction of the Yan family.

So, I told him: "When the emperor had just finished the negotiation with the Yan family, I left Chengdu to do business in Taihe, Qingchen felt that he had not had much time and handed me the seal of the head of the family to me. Until now, the seal is still on me. Wei Yang promised me that when the seal of the head of the family appeared, he would leave the Yan family at any time."

Pei Yuanfeng said: "Then, are there people who supervise around him?"

Qinghan sat aside and said, "My people in Bishan will supervise every move of the Yan family at any time."

After hearing what we said, Pei Yuanfeng breathed lightly.

Obviously, he had never had peace of mind for such a long time, and it was not until this moment that he finally let go of his heart.

I looked at him and said softly: "Yuanfeng, thank you."

“…”

He raised his head and looked at me with a complicated expression. After a long time, he said, "As someone entrusted loyalty to others, Yan Qingchen has given me this place, I will stay here. But - in the current situation, I cannot let Xichuan go to chaos before fighting."

I smiled and said, "I know."

I didn't say much about the others. If Pei Yuanfeng had just returned from Pei Yuanhao, then he should have generally known what happened in Xichuan these days.

Mu Hua asked the servants to bring hot tea. Everyone drank a little and it became much warmer.

The atmosphere also eased a little. Pei Yuanfeng looked up at us and said, "You are planning to go next--"

"Longnan, I want to pick up Miaoyan."
