At this time, a warm big hand gently stroked my shoulder. When he turned around, he saw that it was Pei Yuanxiu sitting beside the bed and looking at me and said, "Don't be anxious first, I'll send someone to investigate this matter, no matter what--" He paused for a moment: "I'll figure it out."

“…”

"Drink some medicine first, it's already cold."

As he said that, he scooped up a spoonful of medicine and blew it gently before delivering it to my mouth.

I looked at him with a heavy look, and felt that his eyes were very heavy and complicated. The spoon touched his lips and the medicine was already cold. I hesitated for a moment, but still opened my mouth.

The rest of the room seemed to be relieved.

I slowly finished the medicine, and the doctor came forward to take my pulse again. At present, there seemed to be no inappropriateness. I just asked me to rest and warm it, otherwise even if it was not a miscarriage, it would be very unfavorable to the child in the future. Zhou Chengyin and the others immediately ordered and added another basin of charcoal fire to my room.

Pei Yuanxiu stood up and handed the bowl to the maid behind him. Mrs. Zhou immediately came over to greet me and asked the doctor what else to pay attention to.

At this time, Xie Feng walked to Pei Yuanxiu and said something softly. Pei Yuanxiu glanced at him, then the two of them turned around and walked outward.

Zhou Chengyin followed.

I sat at the head of the bed, and Mrs. Zhou was talking nonsense. While responding, I looked at the slightly shaking bead curtains with my eyes quietly, and listened to their voices.

Pei Yuanxiu said: "What must be said now?"

Xie Feng said: "I was at the city gate and saw Wen Fengxi."

"What?!"

Pei Yuanxiu frowned and said in surprise: "You mean-"

"Wen Fengxi came forward and rescued the mobs from Huai'an."

"He actually showed up."

"Yes, I didn't expect it. We were following him and his team all the way, but there was no trace at all. I thought they had disappeared like this. It turned out that after he left Yangzhou, he did not go north at all."

“…”

"If I guess correctly, he should have been hiding nearby after leaving Yangzhou. After we left, he would have been following us."

“…”

"So, no matter how our vanguard team checked, they could not find out their whereabouts."

Pei Yuanxiu's eyes sank and he said in a secret way: "It's dark under the lamp."

Xie Feng said: "Yes."

My heartbeat also tightened slightly. At this time, I felt a warmth in my hand. When I looked up, I saw that it was Mrs. Zhou who took the stove handed over by the maid. Two pieces of plum blossom fragrance had been thrown into it. Now it emitted a faint warm fragrance and was delivered to me: "Miss Yan, the doctor has advised me, don't catch a cold again."

"oh oh……"

I nodded quickly, and pointed my ears and listened to the movement outside.

At this time, Zhou Chengyin said nervously: "It's the guard in Yangzhou? I have heard about him. Now he appears in Huai'an City and joins forces with those mobs. Did they collude from the beginning?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Pei Yuanxiu frowned slightly.

But Xie Feng shook his head.

"When you occupied Huaian, he had not left Yangzhou. Besides, for such a long time, the gates of Huaian City were closed, and the news could not be spread," he said, as he seemed to look at me with the corner of his eyes, and then continued: "The reason why he appeared here should be following us; the reason why he took action-"

Pei Yuanxiu said: "How?"

Xie Feng's voice was slightly heavy: "I'm worried that he has been spying on Huai'an City."

"What?!"

This time, Zhou Chengyin was shocked: "He is spying on Huai'an City?"

"That's right."

Xie Feng said: "Yangzhou and Huaian are two major cities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province north of the Yangtze River. If he lost Yangzhou, he might not be willing to do so. If Huaian can be taken down, the situation will not be completely out of control for him."

"Take Huaian?" Zhou Chengyin was originally surprised, but at this time he seemed to be angry and sneered: "Hmph, just because of him? Yangzhou is lost, and he dares to come to Huaian to die? If he wants to come, let him come just!"

Xie Feng frowned and said, "This person - not to be underestimated."

Zhou Chengyin wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, Xie Feng was also the one who followed Pei Yuanxiu from Jinling with him. It was not easy for the two of them to fight directly, so they swallowed the words in their mouths and turned to look at Pei Yuanxiu.

Several folds appeared on Pei Yuanxiu's eyebrows: "You said, he wants to take Huaian Prefecture?"

"This is the guess below."

This time, Pei Yuanxiu did not speak immediately, but stood there with his hands behind his back and fell into deep thought. At this moment, Mrs. Zhou asked me again how I was rescued and whether I was injured. I didn’t answer, but said reluctantly: “I have not suffered any skin injuries.”

"But I heard that the city gate was making a big fuss. Look at your sleeves, there was still blood on it."

"Oh, this probably splashed on me during the fight."

"Amitabha, Miss Yan is pregnant and can't get any more bloody."

"certainly."

"Hey, I don't know what to do with the person they are catching. If I want to kill him-"

My heart tightened - by the way, Brother Chen!

Although he just came in from outside and saw that he was safe and sound, he was a prisoner after all. Zhou Chengyin hated these mobs the most, so it was hard to say what they would do to Brother Chen next.

I was thinking secretly in my heart.

Seeing my brows frowning, Mrs. Zhou said again: "What I fear most now is that your pulse is very dangerous. Don't have any more fighting and killing to attack you."

Just as she finished speaking, Pei Yuanxiu outside suddenly said, "What are the troops in Huai'an now?"

I immediately held my breath and listened to the movement outside.

Zhou Chengyin immediately said, "No matter how long he is coming or going!"

Xie Feng's face was heavy, obviously disagreeing with Zhou Chengyin's overconfident attitude. He turned to look at Pei Yuanxiu: "I don't think this matter should be underestimated."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Pei Yuanxiu also looked solemn.

After a while, he said, "Then you mean-"

Xie Feng said: "If he is coveting Huaian, then we must at least ensure that Huaian will not fall into his hands."

This time, he seemed to finally cause trouble for Zhou Chengyin. Zhou Chengyin snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Xie's words are not very clear. Huai'an was still in the hands of the court, but he was taken down by the court. Now he is a defeated general, but he has come here with a little remnant of power. Could it be that he will touch our muscles and bones for him again?"

Xie Feng turned to look at him and said, "It's not about shaping his muscles and bones for him, but this person - I'm worried, will become our biggest concern."

"Mr. Xie's words are a bit alarmist, right?"

“…”

"Will Mr. Xie feel uneasy after being under control of Huai'an?"

Xie Feng was silent for a moment and said, "I don't mean to doubt you, but Wen Fengxi suddenly appeared in Huai'an, which is unusual. Huai'an, as I have just said, is like Yangzhou, two major cities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province north of the Yangtze River, and it must not be-"

"Huai'an is in my hands and I can't lose it!"

Zhou Chengyin's words were already very impatient.

Xie Feng's brows also frowned - he is a very calm person. I rarely see him showing his emotions, and he is still like this at this moment. He does not have to worry about Zhou Chengyin, but the situation obviously makes him unable to worry.

I recalled the look he looked when he saw Wen Fengxi leave just now when he saw him leaving.

At about that time, he was already suspicious, just worried about my presence. He did not act rashly, but this matter has now become a thorn and has been pierced in his heart.

At this time, he turned to look at Pei Yuanxiu: "Young Master."

Pei Yuanxiu was there and was silent all the time. Only then did he raise his head and look at him.

Xie Feng said: "What do you think of the young master?"

Pei Yuanxiu was silent for a while, then said, "I agree with what you said. Wen Fengxi would not appear in Huai'an for no reason. Since he came here with us, he must have made some plans."

Xie Feng nodded, and Zhou Chengyin was about to be anxious: "Young Master——"

"However," Pei Yuanxiu said slowly, "No matter what he does, we cannot move our muscles and bones. I think you are right."

When Zhou Chengyin heard this, a smile appeared on her face.

Xie Feng frowned.

Pei Yuanxiu said: "We have regular days to go north. If we delay here for too long and miss the agreed date with Shengjing, then the big thing will be delayed."

Xie Feng did not speak immediately.

Obviously, he also agreed with Pei Yuanxiu's control over the overall situation, but: "If Fengxi really wants it-"

Pei Yuanxiu said: "You just said that Huai'an, like Yangzhou, is the two major cities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province north of the Yangtze River."

"That's right."

"Yangzhou is still in our hands."

“…”

"If he wants to do anything to Huai'an, if he has the Zhou family to resist, and if he is in the back, Yangzhou can send troops to check and balance at any time."

“…”

"At the same time, even if he really takes up Huai'an..."

“…”

"Huai'an is also an isolated city like Yangzhou before."

“…”

"He can't make any big waves."

After he said this, Xie Feng seemed to have nothing to say. From the current overall situation, even if Wen Fengxi really wanted to move Huaian, it would not be easy for him to use his troops, not to mention that the overall situation is very unfavorable for him. When he moved, he attracted the confrontation of these people.

Xie Feng finally said, "Okay."

Zhou Chengyin breathed out with her nose.

Seeing that the matter was settled, at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Two servants came over and saw the three of them standing there, and immediately bent down to salute.
