My heart skipped a beat.

Someone followed him in Xichuan?

Who is it? Who would follow us at this time when we had passed Bishan, even boarded the boat, and were about to arrive in Jiangling?

Hearing this, Mr. Xie also frowned and did not urge me immediately. Then I took a step back to the door and saw Pei Yuanxiu frowning slightly, raised his head to look at Han Zitong: "Someone is following me? Who is it?"

Although he was asking, he was not surprised or afraid.

Han Zitong didn't notice this at all and said anxiously: "I haven't figured it out yet. I've been following us for a while. But they seem to be very familiar with this section of water, and their strength should be extraordinary, so we didn't find them early in the morning."

Very familiar with this section of water...

Extraordinary strength...

Could it be-

I held my breath and listened to the movement inside. After hearing Han Zitong's words, Pei Yuanxiu gasped and calmed down. He nodded gently: "Oh..."

His appearance surprised Han Zitong a little, and she said softly: "Young Master?"

Pei Yuanxiu looked up at her and said hurriedly: "It's okay. Since someone has followed us, we will follow our previous arrangements. If we can, we will get rid of them. If we can't get rid of them--"

"I see."

Han Zitong responded hurriedly. In fact, she knew what to do, otherwise she would not dare to take us on the boat before Pei Yuanxiu woke up. As for why she had to come over and say this now, I didn't go into delving into it. I just watched her straight up and looked at Pei Yuanxiu's face that was even more ugly than just now, as if the person in pain was not Pei Yuanxiu, but her.

She said softly, "Are you okay?"

Pei Yuanxiu waved his hand: "I'm fine."

“…”

She hesitated for a moment before saying softly: "I'll let the doctor come over, you lie down and rest, don't be angry with her anymore-don't be angry anymore."

“…”

"She...she's not worth it..."

Her last few words were as thin as mosquitoes and could hardly be heard, and Pei Yuanxiu didn't even look at her, but he said lightly: "You go down."

“…”

This time, her eyes turned red and she turned around and walked out quickly.

When she walked to the door and ran into me, she seemed to have no strength to support her anger and resentment. She just glanced at me and left.

I was a little stunned for a moment.

The tone and mood she had just spoken, and even the indescribable grievance and sorrow in my eyes, I seemed familiar with it, and could even fully experience it. It seemed that I had experienced such unspeakable and indescribable hardships. But now, it turned out that I had stood in another position, watching other people fall into this quagmire, struggling, but I was happy to accept it.

Things in the world are really hard to explain.

In the world of emotions, there is never a real winner.

I heard Pei Yuanxiu breathe a long sigh. Although there was still some dull pain, he suppressed it himself. I didn't stop for more and turned around and left.

The river water has become a little uneasy.

People's hearts are also infected like this. The faint restlessness makes people feel like a fire in their hearts. I didn't go anywhere else, and I didn't even feel like going to the stern of the boat to see what was going on. Instead, I locked myself in the cabin and kept writing Buddhist scriptures.

In fact, even if I don’t go and see, I understand that the one who follows must be Wen Ruyu.

He is the only one.

I didn't know Xichuan's troops before, but after the battle of Baoyu in the New Year, I also mastered some of the situations. I know more clearly that they did not train the navy. At present, there is only the navy trained by Wen Ruyu. In addition to sending a team to Jiangling to help Zhao Yuncheng, what he sent this time should be the rest.

Obviously, the words I said to him in Gantang Village were ignored by him again.

Fortunately, though-

Thinking of this, I raised my head and saw an orange-red light flowing out of the small window. The setting sun shone on the paper I spread on the table. It was already past You hour. If I had estimated that as early as tonight, we would arrive in Jiangling as early as tonight, and tomorrow morning at the earliest.

Wen Ruyu is neither too late nor too late, and when he catches up at this time, I can only say that he has a very strategic vision.

Because, no matter whether Han Zitong accelerates or slows down now, in fact, when he reaches this water, the initiative is completely in Wen Ruyu's hands.

Although this person is like a noble young man and likes to make a fuss, he is indeed a real skill. I thought it would be a strange thing to send him to Liu Qinghan, but now it seems that Liu Qinghan is really using him right.

only--

I slowly turned my head and looked out the window. This was the last little bright moment of the day. The sunset seemed to try its best to exert all my light and heat at this moment, making the green mountains on the shore coated with a layer of golden light, and the river water was even more red and bright.

My eyes were blinking outside without blinking, watching the sunset slowly falling, and the light disappeared on the top of the mountain in an instant.

The night is dark very quickly.

Gradually, the light in the room became darker and darker, and the paper and pen on the table could hardly be seen clearly. At this time, a knock on the door sounded outside, and the swaying light of the candlelight could be seen from the crack of the door. I responded and saw Mr. Xie walking in with a candlestick and put it on the table.

Usually, he doesn't talk much, and he will leave if he put down the candlestick.

But at this time, he stopped and looked at what I wrote on the table, then looked up at me, his eyes flashing slightly under the reflection of the candlelight.

I raised my eyebrows and looked at him, and then I heard him say quietly, "Miss, what's the matter today?"

I also looked down at the few Buddhist scriptures on the table, and said "um".

He said again: "Miss, she should write more on weekdays."

I said lightly: "Are you ordering me?"

"Don't dare."

"Do you think I don't know what you want to do?" I looked at him coldly: "At the earliest tonight, the latest tomorrow morning, I saw you put out the pigeons to deliver the message."

"Miss, I have a good ear and ear."

"Can you survive if you don't know how to get it right?" I said, "Aren't you just trying to move the man I stayed in Jiangling next?"

“…”

"I know you are going to do it, can I persuade you to put down the butcher knife even if I write these Buddhist scriptures?"

My tone of speaking was aggressive, and I was not as in the same state of mind as when I wrote the Heart Sutra. Mr. Xie was very calm, and he said nothing, but just lowered his head and turned around and walked out.

I let out a faint sigh.

When I turned to look outside, it was already completely dark, but there was no moon tonight. The thick clouds blocked the entire sky. Not only was there no moonlight, no starlight, and even a trace of wind. I sat in this small cabin and felt a feeling of being breathless and stuffy.
