As soon as the door opened, the strong wind blew in with the snow. Even if I sat on the second floor, I could feel the air around me suddenly became cooler.
I subconsciously pushed the door out, held the fence on the corridor and looked down. It turned out that two soldiers in full armoured and armored walked in from outside. Of course, the post station was no longer the post officials belonging to the court, but their people, so they hurriedly met.
One of the soldiers asked those people: "Where is Mr. Pei?"
"Young Master Pei is resting in the room."
"Go and report quickly."
"yes."
After a while, Chang Sui, who was beside Pei Yuanxiu, walked out and greeted them.
I was about to walk down as well. As soon as I reached the stairs, I met Xie Feng.
Perhaps it was because Huazhu was not able to protect me when she was in Huai'an before, so she was blamed. Although Huazhu was still protecting me personally during these days, Xie Feng had been around me much more time.
However, he often has nothing to say. Even if I try to ask something indirectly, I don’t ask Hua Zhu and the others easily.
But this time, as soon as he saw me at the stairs, he said, "What's wrong with Miss Yan?"
I said, "I'm hungry and want to go down and eat something."
"Let's go with you."
“…I’m working.”
He accompanied me down the stairs. Pei Yuanxiu and his room was not far from the stairs. When I passed by, I heard Han Ruoshi's nervous voice coming from inside: "What? Cangzhou has not yet-"
Before he could finish listening, Xie Feng led me to the center of the hall below.
Of course, I wouldn't argue with him at this time. I obediently walked to the center of the hall and found a table to sit down. Immediately, people from the inn came over and said with a smile: "Mr. Xie, Miss Yan, Mr. Pei and the others have not come out yet."
It means, you are not in a hurry to serve the dishes.
I smiled and said, "Young Master Pei and Mrs. Pei probably won't eat with me anymore. I'm hungry. If you have any side dishes, just bring them up. I'll just smack my mouth."
The man immediately said, "I dare not, if Miss Yan is hungry, it will be ours. We will serve Miss Yan immediately."
After saying that, he turned around and became busy.
Turning back to look at Xie Feng, he sat there without saying a word, as if he was about to sit at the same table with me to eat.
My mind is actually still in Pei Yuanxiu and his room. If I guess correctly, those two generals should have contacted him in Cangzhou City. Like Zhou Chengyin and others, they agreed to raise an army to participate in major events. Cangzhou is already very close to the capital. The powerful and powerful gentry here do not have as much power as other regions. After all, it is not so easy to deceive the court when it is close to the emperor, but there are still one or two families, with great power.
One was Pei Ji's personal bodyguard, surnamed Cui, who returned home and went to Cangzhou. Because he followed the emperor, he met many noble officials and could speak to the emperor, so the local people flattered him very much, so that most of his descendants are noble now; another one, I heard that it was Pei Yuanhao's nanny Song Zhang family, whose in-laws Song family is in Cangzhou, and now they are full of children and grandchildren, and they are also very powerful people in the local area.
Although the two people who just arrived were tall and armed, they obviously had some differences in their clothes. They should have come from different families. If I guess correctly—
"what's on your mind?"
Just as I was thinking about it, Xie Feng suddenly spoke, and I looked up at him: "Uh?"
"What are you thinking?"
His eyes were not as sharp as his skills, nor as sharp as his sword, but the faint sense of oppression was still unavoidable. I did not shy away from it and said with a smile: "I think the two people who just came here should be from Cangzhou, right?"
Xie Feng said lightly: "Of course."
"I have it with you-"
"cooperate."
"Oh," I nodded, and then said, "Are they from the Cui family and the Song family?"
He glanced at me: "You know?"
I said, "After all, I have been in the imperial city for so many years, and there are some things I have heard of."
He nodded and said, "That's right, it's the people of these two families."
I was a little surprised that he would really tell me this. After all, along the way, probably for safety reasons, except for Pei Yuanxiu coming to me and someone would talk to me, almost everyone else would not say anything else to me except for asking me and serving me.
Taking advantage of this time, someone spoke, and I simply said, "Song Family, I remember being a relative with the emperor."
Xie Feng looked at me again: "No one knows this better than you."
"But I don't know anything," I smiled: "Old Mrs. Zhang is obviously the emperor's nanny. She should have a lot of feelings for the emperor. The emperor has never treated her badly. The Song family in the south of the Dinan is famous in Cangzhou City, and the emperor can borrow the name of the emperor. Why are the people of the Song family working with you now?"
Xie Feng said lightly, without looking at me, and said, "I don't believe you can't think of it."
At this moment, the inn came to deliver the meal, and the conversation between us was interrupted.
Actually, I can't think of it.
Old Lady Zhang of the Song family was the emperor's nanny. After Pei Yuanhao became an adult, he returned to Cangzhou. However, the court still treated their family very well. It is said that during the festivals, the emperor would send gifts to Cangzhou. This made the Song family even more famous.
However, there were no one in the Song family to go on an official career. It is said that Old Lady Zhang had a grandson named Song Xuan who wanted to be a general, but was thrown into the army to join the army and let him go for training. Later, I don’t know what happened. Almost no one in the Song family rejoined the officialdom. But after all, there is this relationship. The Song family is still well-known in Cangzhou. It is protected by the officials of the court, and some wealthy merchants flattered them to make a fuss. Although no one in the Song family became an official, in the end, it was more affordable than being an official and became a powerful force that was rampant.

Although there is a relationship between a nurse, it can touch on interests. No matter how good the relationship or the deeper the relationship is, it is nothing.
At this moment, the gate was suddenly knocked open, and a gust of cold wind poured in. I turned around and saw that the horse that was pulling food passed by the door. A horse accidentally kicked open the gate. When the grain bag held on the horse was slanted, some rice spilled down.
On such a strong wind and snowy day, several birds flew down to peck at food and were almost trampled by horse hooves.
Seeing this, Xie Feng said softly: "The things in this world are so simple. People die for money, and birds die for food."
I stood and looked at him and said, "The world is mediocre and seeks profit."
He sneered.
I said, "Then, what are you asking for?"
This is also the most unseen thing I have seen in so long.
I asked him before, and he covered it with a sentence "What I ask for should be the same as the Yan family", but until now, I still don't understand. Seeing a cautious look on his face, I said softly: "Actually it doesn't matter if you don't say it. Now we are going to Cangzhou. After passing Cangzhou and then Tianjin, we will enter the capital. I think maybe the answer is in the capital."
His face slightly sank: "Oh? Are you so sure?"
"The people around Pei Yuanxiu are just like what you said just now, but for fame and fortune, but you - you don't look like this, and you don't seem to care about fame and fortune, that is, there are things other than fame and fortune that drive you."
“…”
"Rebellion is a loss of mind. Those who can take risks and take risks without hesitation to kill themselves, besides fame and fortune, probably—"
I glanced at him and said, "Grievances, love and hatred."
His face darkened again.
Although these four are very vulgar and have been talked about from the storyteller, if you want to talk about worldly affairs, besides fame and fortune, there are probably only these four words.
And the expression on Xie Feng's face also made me feel that it was indeed the case.
I said softly: "Is it gratitude, resentment, love, or--"
Before I could say the last word, I heard the sound of the door opening on the other side. He and I turned around and saw the two generals in armor coming out.
Originally they didn't care about us sitting here, but when they had already reached the door, one of them seemed to say "um" and turned around and looked at us.
To be precise, look at me.
Another felt the pause of his steps and turned to look at him: "What's wrong? We have to go back quickly."
"Wait," the man raised his hand, then slowly walked to me and said, "Dare you ask the Lord, but Miss Yan?"
I didn't expect someone to recognize me in such a place.
So he stood up and saluted the other party: "I haven't asked for advice yet."
The man confirmed my identity and immediately took a step back, bowing more politely and thoughtfully: "I'm here, Song Xuan."
“…”
Unexpectedly, I actually bumped into it.
This person is the grandson of Old Mrs. Zhang, the Song Xuan who once served as the army and had experienced in the army.
Seeing him wearing armor now, he looked so majestic, but he was not worshipping the emperor or doing something to defend his country.
This person didn't know what I was whispering in my heart, but said seriously: "My grandmother once said that if she could meet Miss Yan, she must ask Miss Yan to visit her humble house. Grandmother wants to see you."
"Old Mrs. Zhang, do you want to see me?"
This surprised me even more.
But at this moment, Pei Yuanxiu walked out of his room and heard Song Xuan's words. He said softly: "Now, it's not convenient."
Song Xuan and I both looked up at him.
Immediately, Song Xuan smiled: "Yes, at least we have to wait for this war to be over."
This battle?
I frowned slightly and looked up at them-this battle?
