As the giant figure slowly approached, the people on the dock showed a look of almost shock. Many people were already retreating in horror. The people brought by Han Ruoshi and the others immediately came forward and protected us behind after a moment of shock.

I thought about it and lowered my head.

Li'er in her arms also raised her head at this moment. Her eyes were crying red, her face was covered with tears, and there were still tears on her long eyelashes. She opened her eyes wide and watched the huge ship slowly approaching, the sunlight reflected into her eyes and also shone the tears in her eyes.

She was also a little dazed, looking at the big ship, with a blank expression on her face and eyes.

Looking at her like this, I felt a pain in my heart again. When I turned around, I could hear a heavy and dull sound coming from the bottom of the water, as if thunder sounded in the river water, shaking the waves on the river surface kept rising and falling.

The ship was docked.

Suddenly, the people around him became more and more nervous, especially the guards, holding swords and staring at the ship with wide eyes. They saw that the ship had already landed, the fence was opened, and a huge sampan stretched out from above and laying heavily on the dock.

I hugged Li'er, Pei Yuanxiu protected me, and subconsciously took a step back.

Han Ruoshi has been standing beside us. At this time, he looked at the huge sea boat and the guards who lined up fairly and were so shocked that they didn't dare to take a breath. He just lowered his voice and said, "That's it--"

"It's the Emperor's ship."

Han Zitong whispered in her ear, then turned around and looked at the big ship, with a look on her face looking a little frightened.

The emperor's ship leaned against the shore of Jinling!

If this is spread, it will definitely be the most incredible joke in the Central Plains today.

But, it happened like this!

Pei Yuanhao's ship did not go to Yangzhou as we expected, but leaned against the shore of Jinling. Not only did it lean against the shore, but several guards were now walking down from the boat and arranged on both sides of the dock. Then, his imperial guards walked down neatly and stood neatly on the dock. Then Wen Fengxi, and a few generals of grade at a glance all got off the boat and stood on the dock.

At such a critical moment, when the whole world was moved, everyone had a serious expression. Whether it was the court or the generals in Jinling, everyone was holding the sword in their hands tightly. Perhaps as long as there was a little spark, this place would become the starting point for the entire Central Plains war.

I held my breath and looked in front of me. Everyone was unfamiliar with me. Only Wen Fengxi frowned and looked at me, his eyes appearing heavy and anxious.

Then, I heard a person's footsteps appearing a bit monotonous and even thin.

I looked up and saw Pei Yuanhao walking down from the tall dragon boat step by step.

Looking at that figure, approaching us little by little, gave me a greater sense of depression than watching the huge ship approaching.

My hand holding Li'er couldn't help but tense.

Every step he took was on the person's heartbeat and breathing, and listening to his footsteps, the people around him were not even breathing.

Then, he walked in front of us.

Li'er was still in my arms, with a little crystal tears hanging on his face, but he looked at him with a look of novelty, confusion and confusion.

Pei Yuanhao slowly bent down and looked at her straight.

There was still not much expression on the face that was used to being cold and indifferent. However, when he spoke, his voice was hoarse as before, and he didn't even say the first word he spoke: "You--" He seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then coughed lightly before he found his voice: "What's your name?"

Li'er blinked and said, "Li'er."

"How old are you?"

Li'er thought about it, then lowered her head and turned her fingers and said, "Nine years old."

"Have you named it?"

Shake your head.

"Does it hurt when you saw your mother hit you just now?"

He nodded, lowered his head and said, "But it's Li'er who is not good, it's right for his mother to hit me."

“…”

Pei Yuanhao paused for a moment, as if he wanted to say something. I saw countless things surging in those dark and deep eyes, as if the undulating river surface in front of him were countless undercurrents and surging underground, but at this moment, he seemed to be unable to say anything. He was just looking at Li'er's wet and flashing eyes for a long time, and he slowly stretched out his hand.

It seemed that I wanted to touch the place where I was hit on her, but when I saw Li'er's black and white eyes, she had a hint of confusion, and her steady hand paused for a moment, and finally reached over Li'er's head.

Gently rub her heart.

A faint smile appeared on the calm, cold face.

He really doesn't smile often, and even if he smiles, he won't relax, but instead makes people feel even more nervous and scary. But at this moment, his smile is really gentle, like this season, the gentle wind is a bit incredibly soft.

The tense atmosphere around him relaxed because of his smile. Even you stared at me and I stared at you on both sides, and you didn't dare to relax for a moment. The next moment, the generals and guards who were preparing to face each other with swords subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

This scene seems somewhat incredible.

But everyone just watched this incredible scene happening. No one, even Han Ruoshi, Han Zitong, Pei Yuanxiu and I, didn't speak to stop me, just watched the quiet conversation between them, two of them, one by one.

After being touched for a while, Li'er seemed to come to her senses, hugged my arm and took a step back slightly.

However, the eyes were still gradually new, looking at the man in front of him.

Pei Yuanhao's hand was still placed where she had just touched her intentions, and she didn't come back to her senses for a moment, but when she looked at the child with his head tilted, her eyes that seemed to be inquiring still had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "You listen to your mother very much, right?"

"Well, what I said makes sense."

"Then-what is your father?"

My heart couldn't help but tighten.

Not only me, but the tense breathing of several people around me twitched at this moment.

Li'er's eyes, which were originally full of exploration and curiosity, dimmed slightly at this moment, and a cloud flashed across her little face. After a moment of silence, she said, "I haven't seen my father before."

"Then, do you know who he is?"

She nodded immediately, but after nodding twice, she frowned again, as if she was a little suspicious, hesitated for a moment, and shook her head again.

I felt Pei Yuanhao's breath also became heavier.

And just then, Li'er said, "But I know that he is a very smart person and very serious."

“…”

"He can do a lot of things best."

“…”

As she said that, she raised her little face and smiled at Pei Yuanhao: "My father is a very powerful person, as powerful as my father."

“…”

At this moment, the emotions of the people around him can no longer be described as nervousness and fear.

Even my hand holding her was exhausted.

However, Pei Yuanhao showed no sign of getting angry. The irritable and irritable personality of the Nine Five Supreme seemed to disappear at this moment. In the past, he was replaced by the pleasure light flashing in his eyes and the almost satisfied smile on his lips. He even raised his head and glanced at Pei Yuanxiu.

Pei Yuanxiu just looked at him quietly, his expression somewhat complicated.

Pei Yuanhao lowered his head again, looked at Li'er, and gently supported her little shoulder with his hand, and said with a smile: "Do you know what your father is doing except this?"

Li'er's face turned slightly darker: "I still know that my father doesn't want my mother to be his wife."

“…”

I suddenly froze. I never thought that Li'er would say the words I had perfunctory to her at this time. Although her voice was not loud, and although the boatman's horn was not far away, the waves of the river were connected together, her words still clearly entered each of us, especially Pei Yuanhao.

Almost unexpectedly, Li'er's words pierced his chest like a needle tip. I saw the face with a faint smile froze in an instant.

I immediately reached out my hand in panic, not knowing whether I wanted to hold Li'er or to helpless her childish mouth.

But as soon as he reached out, the hand Pei Yuanhao placed on her shoulder gently tweaked it.

My hand was blocked by him.

He took a deep breath, but had not fully recovered the calm expression on his face. He also had a trace of trembling when he spoke, and said, "Do you know why?"

"I know, mom said, he has someone he likes more."

My heartbeat and breathing almost stopped at this moment. I felt the dazzling sunshine penetrated my eyes as the rising and falling waves on the Yangtze River pierced into my eyes, making my eyes turn black and almost fainted. At this moment, a solid and warm hand reached over and steadily supported my waist.

Looking back, it was Pei Yuanxiu.

He had been standing beside me without saying a word, and at this moment he just looked at me, but his eyes were full of strength, and it was even slowly transmitted to me through the temperature in his palm.

He was telling me that no matter what, he was there.

No matter what, he is behind me.

Looking at him like this, I felt his power for some reason, with sadness in panic and a hint of indescribable reluctance. After all, I didn't say anything, just lowered my head gently.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao was still looking at Li'er. The dark and deep eyes were flashing with a bright light. I even saw his hand slowly hanging down and put it behind him. There was a very light, inaudible sound of finger bones clattering.

He paused and asked, "Then, do you blame your father?"

“…”

"Over the years, your father has not been by your side, nor by your mother's side. Do you blame him?"

Li'er immediately shook her head: "Um."

"Why?"

"Because he is going to give happiness to other people."

“…”
