She looked at me and said slowly: "Pei Yuanxiu, and that Liu Qinghan, what do you think?"

“…”

I didn't speak immediately, but after a moment of silence, I looked up at her and said softly: "What does Mother think?"

She smiled faintly, and then said, "Me? I am different from your mother."

“…I heard from my mother.”

"I can't think so much. I am a mother. I only know that my children cannot be wronged."

“…”

"My daughter should be held and spoiled, and it is best to live a life of wealth and honor."

She said this, sighed lightly, and said, "I am willing to cooperate with Pei Yuanxiu. First, what he wants to do is--, what your father wanted to do, and I hope to accomplish this; second, he is really good to you. I am so old and can't see anything else, can't I see this?"

My nose felt sour and my voice was astringent: "Mother..."

"As for that Liu Qinghan," she said, a hint of displeasure appeared on her face, and she said, "I have found out about you."

“…”

"I just can't stand him! Is our Yan family's daughter missing arms or legs? She's much more noble than him. What's he? Why should he just want it if he wants it, and if he doesn't want it if he doesn't want it! Are you stupid?"

“…”

I was stunned by her reprimanding, and for some reason, I suddenly laughed.

When I smiled, she suddenly became so angry that her face darkened. She couldn't relieve her breath and coughed. I hurriedly got up and supported her, reached behind her and wiped it down to help her relieve her breath. She coughed for a while, and her face turned red before she could barely recover.

Then I sat back to the bed, saw her panting, glaring at me with tears in the corner of her eyes, and said angrily: "I know, you can't listen to my words!"

"Mother……"

"Anyway, now that Liu Qinghan is rich and powerful, I want to take care of you, and I can't control you anymore."

I wanted to laugh again, but I didn't dare to laugh, so I just continued to reach out to help her get happy, but she reached out and grabbed my wrist. Although she didn't have much strength, this kind of grabbing still shocked me.

I looked up at her, and Xue Qian looked straight into my eyes, as if she wanted to see the deepest part: "But there are some words that you should be able to figure out the pros and cons of yourself even if no one says it."

“…”

"You are still hesitating, don't you kill that Pei Yuanxiu?"

“…”

"Not to mention the matter between you and Liu Qinghan, what would happen if he were alive? Just say that this matter has reached this point now, Xichuan and Jinling can no longer cooperate, so Pei Yuanxiu must die!"

“…”

"If you don't kill him, it will be a disaster after all."

“…”

"And, there are endless troubles!"

My heart trembled suddenly.

After saying those words, Xue Qian coughed a few more times, bent down, and the shoulder blades behind her raised high, making her look so thin and lonely. My heart was heavy, and I felt even more uncomfortable, especially when I heard what she had planned for me just now, it made me feel more and more sad.

In just a moment, three people told me to kill Pei Yuanxiu!

It’s not that I’m not mentally prepared for this result, but when I really hear it, I still can’t help but feel panic and helplessness in my heart.

He really has to die...?

Perhaps seeing the hesitation in my eyes and the entanglement in my heart, Xue Qian used a little more force on the hand that grabbed my wrist and said, "He is so cunning. If he doesn't take advantage of the time he has already caught him, I'm afraid that thousands of troops will be unable to deal with him in the future. Although I wanted to cooperate with him before, I actually don't dare to trust him at all, and he is completely untrustworthy."

“…”

"He also told me that this time he came to Xichuan, there were two purposes, one of which was to promote cooperation with Jinling and Xichuan. I asked him what the second purpose was, but he refused to say it."

"Second purpose?"

My eyebrows frowned slightly: "Does he still want to do in Nishikawa?"

Xue Qian said: "If such a person wants to plan something, it will definitely not be a trivial matter. You must know that he himself admitted that when he first came to Xichuan with you, he had already thought so much. At that time, who would have thought that he would have such thoughts?"

When she said this, she suddenly reminded me that the first time, when I took Pei Yuanxiu back to Xichuan, the big event that happened - Yan Qinghan, made the story of the Folang machine and cannons publicly publicly to the world, so I went to sea for my life and death experience on the sea and on Tianquan Island.

But in the end, the result we got was that the Iron-Face King went to sea not to hide the Folang Ji cannon, but to destroy the source of the cannon and prevent such things from happening again.

In other words, there is still a great possibility that a real artillery will remain in the world!

Now that the Central Plains is in a fire of war, Pei Yuanxiu's ability to enter Sichuan personally proves that he attaches great importance to the integration of the forces between the two sides, so that he can have a greater chance of winning, but all of this is probably not as good as a group of weapons that can win in the war!

Could it be that Pei Yuanxiu's second purpose of entering Sichuan this time is-

I suddenly shuddered.

But when I thought about it, I was a little hesitant. The hiding of the Florian cannon was more than ten years ago. I didn’t even get any more valuable clues when I went out to sea. Pei Yuanxiu just wanted to come back and find it, which was almost impossible.

But, besides this, I can't think of any important purpose for him.

My eyebrows frowned slightly.

Just at this moment, Aunt Hong pushed the door and came in, holding a bowl of steaming medicine in her hand. As soon as she walked over, the smell rushed into our noses. As soon as Xue Qian smelled it, her eyebrows immediately twisted into a lump.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Aunt Hong said: "Madam, it's time to take medicine."

“Didn’t I just drank it?”

"That's just now, this dose of medicine is for you to sweat."

"What do I do when I sweat well?"

"You can have a good sleep after sweating."

"I don't--"

Speaking of which, I met Xue Qian since I was a child. After so many years of ups and downs, I rarely have the opportunity to get close to her like this. Only then did I realize that although she was so old, she was really just a child in her heart, and she was still afraid of hardship and didn't take medicine. Aunt Hong frowned because of her appearance, and she couldn't say anything, so she could only turn her head to look at me.

I reached out and grabbed Xue Qian's wrist: "My mother..."

I made the word "Sir" a little heavier. After hearing what I said, she couldn't say anything else. Seeing Aunt Hong delivering the turbid bowl of medicinal juice like mud soup to her, her face turned bitterer than the medicine.

She muttered twice, and finally said softly: "You!"

Then, I took the bowl and drank it down.

I felt more and more wanting to laugh, especially after seeing her drinking, my eyes and noses were wrinkled, but I finally held it in my mouth and didn't laugh out loud, then helped her lie down and said softly: "My mother has been tired for a day today, so let's have a good rest."

Although she fell asleep, her eyes were still bright and she stared at me: "You understand what I just said?"

“…heard.”

“…”

"Mom, let's take a break first, and then talk about these things when you're well prepared."

"Light, I can tell you that the night is long and the dreams are many!"

These four words were like a few needles, which thorned in my heart slightly. At first, there was no reaction. When I put down the curtain for her, blew out the candlelight on the table, and walked out to face the dark night outside, the pain in my heart slowly rose.

The night is long...there are many dreams...

How long is this night and how many dreams will there be?

I stood at her door for a long time until the wind became a little cold. Aunt Hong said softly: "Miss, don't you go back to rest?"

I looked back at her, said nothing, just smiled, and walked down the steps.

Su Su was waiting outside, and at this time she hurriedly followed and walked out of Xue Qian's house. When she walked out, she could still see the busy figures of those people. It was already so dark in the night, but there was no trace of fatigue on their faces. Mr. Ma had already been excited and was still dispatching troops and commanding people to guard here and there.

But I could see that he was a little lost.

Especially, every time he talks and does things, it seems that as long as he stops a little, some things will surge up like water and flood him, so he can only keep busy and do things constantly, but this will give people a feeling of being busy.

I walked up and said, "Old man."

He looked back at me and immediately said, "Miss."

"The old man has been busy all day. You are the hardest part today. You should go and rest early."

"I'm not tired."

“…”

I looked at the wrinkles on his old face, and my throat was a little stammered for a moment, and I didn’t know what to say. But Mr. Ma glanced at me again and said, “Miss, don’t you rest?”

“…”

I didn't say anything, but just stood in front of him with a slightly frown on my eyebrows.

He seemed to feel something, and did not speak immediately, but looked down at me for a while, and then said softly: "Are you still thinking about that matter?"

“…”

"You don't know if you should kill that person?"

I smiled bitterly, not sure if it was because of this sentence, I had already heard numbness this night, or my thoughts, all of them were written on my face and I could tell at a glance that I looked up at him: "Old man, do you think--"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand.

"Miss, this decision is not something that the old man can do for you."

“…”

"The lady needs to find a better answer by herself."

“…”

Hearing his words made my originally upset mood slightly clearer. I thought about it and then said, "Yes, I should indeed find a better answer."

He looked at me: "Where is the eldest lady going to find it?"
