Early the next morning, we set off from the inn.

Because the Supreme Emperor also knew about the follow-up attack on the road, this time the two brothers Wenhu and Wenbao were more cautious. Although the team was still a large team, I had clearly seen that they had divided the teams and had responsible positions respectively; while their brothers were always following Pei Ji and I, and never left.

Su Su lay on my shoulder, looked outside through the window, and whispered: "Miss, shouldn't we meet robbers again?"

I didn't say anything.

You can't say "yes", and you also understand in your heart that this is difficult to talk about.

However, in the next few days, the road was very smooth and we walked smoothly. After passing Hebei, we entered Shanxi.

Shanxi has many mountains and few rivers, and the mountain roads are quite steep. The speed of the carriage is much slower than before. After passing Yangquan, the road is slightly flattering. As he is about to arrive in Jinzhong, the Supreme Emperor Pei Ji and I are about to prepare for a split.

He went to Jinyang, and I continued to travel west.

We stayed in Shouyang for one night. The next morning, Wen Hu and Wen Bao took care of everything early and went out to distribute their respective troops. They each led a team. Wen Bao protected Pei Ji to meet the Marquis of Jin Gongsun Shu, while Wen Hu protected me to Xichuan.

Pei Ji and I sat in the lobby for breakfast.

Early in the morning, the morning glow was filled with the sky, and the red light made the sky seem to be ignited. The already hot weather became more and more hot under such a scene. My appetite was not very good. After eating a bowl of porridge, I put my chopsticks on it. However, Pei Ji ate a lot and ate slowly. He chewed it slowly. After drinking a bowl of porridge, he peeled an egg himself and soaked it in the bowl of porridge and ate it slowly.

He didn't move, so I was naturally not good at moving, so I sat next to him and waited for him quietly. After a while, I heard the sound of horses outside and the footsteps of the personnel dispatching. Wen Hu and the others had obviously done everything.

At this time, Pei Ji said slowly: "We will split in a while."

"yes."

"Are you familiar with this journey?"

"When I went to Beijing before, I walked by once."

"How long ago did that happen?"

“…It’s been more than ten years ago.”

"After a dozen years ago?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, looked outside again, and said with a smile: "The world has changed."

I smiled faintly.

After a while, I asked him again: "The Supreme Emperor went to meet the Marquis of Jin, can someone send the message in advance?"

"No."

"No? The Supreme Emperor isn't worried about them-"

He smiled faintly: "If they pass on the news in advance, they will think too much, and they will worry that someone will have a different intention."

“…”

"Just pass like this, there is nothing to be afraid of."

“…”

I looked at him in amazement. I didn't expect that this person was so old and I always had the impression that he was a middle-aged man who was weak and even sick, but he had such courage. Especially with his identity as a master of Wancheng, he dared to take risks, which was really impressive.

I thought about it and said, "Then, please be careful."

He smiled and said, "This is natural."

After he had breakfast, he sorted out a little more, and it was time for us to set off.

After leaving this station, not far ahead, there was a fork in the road. He and I walked on one side. I got off the carriage and walked to his side to say goodbye to him. Pei Ji lifted the curtain and looked at me, then looked at the road I was going to take, and said, "You, be careful all the way."

"Thank you."

"Um."

He nodded and was about to put down the curtain. I couldn't help but step forward again: "The Supreme Emperor--"

"Um?"

He lifted the curtain again and looked at me. I hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "If the Supreme Emperor has finished dealing with the affairs of the Marquis of Jin, where will he go next?"

“…”

He seemed to be surprised that I would ask this question, but he didn't answer for a while. He just looked at me and said softly: "Are you going back to the capital or--"

“…”

He was silent for a moment, then looked at me and smiled: "This depends on God's will."

"God willing?"

I was a little surprised. Doesn’t it depend on my preferences when I was going? Besides, with his current identity, even the emperor couldn’t control him. Didn’t he go wherever he wanted?

As if seeing through my thoughts, Pei Ji smiled faintly and said, "I really can't explain what's next. Once a person is rolled into the torrent, no matter how powerful he is, he will be unable to help himself."

"Torrent?" I looked at him: "What do you mean by Torrent?"

"war."

“…!”

My heart leaped suddenly and subconsciously stepped forward: "You mean, is it going to fight?"

He smiled, but there was no smile in those eyes: "No more than a month."

“Where will the fight start?”

"Whoever has no way out will be ignited from their place."

“…”

The Lin family in Yunzhong, Yuan family in Runan... These two families participated in the rebellion war in the imperial city and were already carrying the crime of treason, so they naturally had no way out!

I hurriedly said, "Then you--"

He said calmly: "Staying on Gongsun Shu's side will be at least half better. If even he wants to open a big shot, the capital will be completely aimed at other people's goals."

My heartbeat for a moment, and I don’t know what to say. Instead, Pei Ji said relaxed and calmly: “You don’t have to be afraid. It’s up to people. It can be said that this time, Gu and you are carrying a heavy burden and controlling the situation in the world. You know what to do.”

After saying that, he stopped saying anything and put down the curtain.

The coachman in front of me received the order, bowed to me, and set off.

I stood by the road and watched their convoy slowly drive towards the other side. A little smoke and dust quickly swallowed the back of the team. At this time, Wenhu walked to my side and said, "Miss Yan, it's time for us to set off."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I nodded and turned to my own carriage.

There is a folk proverb that the morning glow does not go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles. I have heard it since I was a child, but it was not until the afternoon when it suddenly started to rain heavily that I remembered this sentence.

The muddy roads put the carriage in trouble. After the wheels were trapped in the mud pit again and took a lot of time to pull them out, Wenhu finally walked to my window and said loudly: "Miss Yan, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. We are afraid we have to find a place to hide from the rain."

I asked, "Is there an inn ahead?"

"There is one, the place is very old, and I'm afraid it's very dilapidated. Those who pass by basically don't go there, so we didn't plan to stay there."

"What's the matter, go quickly."

"good."

He turned around and directed everyone. After a while, the convoy arrived at a station.

As he said, the post station was very old. Half of the walls collapsed in front of the door, and no one cleaned the grass in the corner. Fortunately, there were still people who picked us up when we entered. Wenhu raised the sign. The post officer inside was almost moldy. No one had come for about a long time. At this time, people immediately cleaned up the house for us and led the horses behind to feed the grass.

Wenhu stood under the eaves, watching the dense rain falling down, and sighed: "I delayed the trip for another half a day."

This is not possible. Susu and I just walked in from the door a few steps, and our bodies were soaked. The post officer hurriedly brought us hot tea, and the group kept waiting.

It was drizzling and it fell for most of the day.

When it was ten days late at night, I finally heard the rain getting smaller and the sky slowly cleared up.

However, at this time, I am afraid that it will be dark in a while.

Su Su asked me: "Miss, do we still have to continue rushing?"

Wenhu turned his head and said to me, "Miss Yan, it's probably not easy to travel at this time. It will be dark after a while when you go out, but the next station is still far away. If we can't get through, we can only rest in the wilderness."

The postman also persuaded, "Yes, we don't have to go to the village and the back, so we might as well just rest here for a night. Anyway, there are few people coming here, so no one will disturb you."

I heard it right, so I agreed to stay.

However, although the post officer said so, it was later, when the rain had stopped and the sky was getting dark, there was a sound of horse hooves coming from outside.

Listening to the movement, there were still many people.

I was going to take Susu upstairs to the room to rest, but when I heard this, I stopped on the stairs. Even the postman was a little surprised and looked back at us: "No one has come here for a long time."

Everyone subconsciously held their breath, and the sound of horse hooves stopped outside the yard. After a while, a carriage drove to the door and stopped.

Then, I heard someone get off the car and someone gets off the horse.

Bang bang bang bang, the door was slammed.

The postman became more and more strange. He looked back at us, then took a lamp himself, walked over and asked, "Who?"

We originally thought that people outside would answer their identities, but after a moment of pause, we heard a strange accent outside and said with a smile: "Miss Yan can stop here?"

When I heard this sound, I was stunned.

That's-

Wenhu and Susu were also stunned for a moment, and together with the post officer, they all looked back at me, and I had already walked down the stairs in a hurry and waved his hand, "Open the door!"

When the postman heard this, he hurriedly opened the door. A gust of wind poured in, shaking the lights in several places in the post. Under the lights that were not very bright, a face with a deep contour appeared at the door, and the dark golden hair was shining brightly by the lights.

As soon as he saw me, his eyes immediately curled up: "Miss."
