Chapter 1744

Could it be that Cangzhou is still fighting?

Perhaps because he realized that this sentence had revealed too much, Pei Yuanxiu said softly: "Thank you for your hard work. However, the matter ahead is urgent, so I will leave you two."

Song Xuan and another general immediately felt acquainted, and both of them clasped their fists at him and said, "Young Master, let's say goodbye."

Pei Yuanxiu raised his hand: "No gift."

As soon as the door was opened, the wind and snow poured in, which made people feel cold. The two of them quickly walked out. When the door was opened, I looked outside and saw that there were servants leading their horses over, a group of people followed them. The sound of horse hooves just now was more than these two people. It seemed that they were following all the way from Cangzhou and now they were going back.

In such a place, there are so many people following you, which means that the road is not peaceful.

The door closed again.

After this small episode, Xie Feng did not continue to eat with me, but was called aside by Pei Yuanxiu. It seemed that he wanted to explain something, so I sat there alone and enjoyed a large table of dishes.

But after all, I had no appetite. After eating a little, I put down my chopsticks. At this time, I happened to see the little lotus walking out from the side. When I saw me sitting there for dinner, my face immediately became cold, and I seemed to have glared at me.

She stood there and said coldly: "Come here."

The servant of the inn immediately stepped forward and she ordered: "Madam is a little hungry. Come and prepare some food quickly. Remember, be more refined, not the kind that everyone can eat!"

The servants of the inn were inexplicably said, but they quickly agreed.

I originally planned to go back to the room after eating this, but at this time I didn't want to leave, so I simply sat there and served half a bowl of soup and started drinking it. After a while, the servant brought the food from the kitchen and delivered it to Han Ruoshi's room. But I sat there and waved to him: "Come here."

The servant was unclear, but when I spoke, he came over immediately.

"What are Miss Yan's instructions?"

"What are these foods?"

"Oh, this is squirrel fish, this is salted duck, and this is osmanthus candy taro balls..."

I looked and nodded: "Interesting, you can make such authentic Jinling famous dishes here."

The servant smiled and said, "I know that the distinguished guests are from Jinling, so the chefs in the kitchen are specially invited to serve you."

"You guys are intent." I smiled and said, "By the way, how is your old lady?"

The servant didn't know why I suddenly asked Old Lady Zhang again, but he still hurriedly replied: "The Old Lady is old and has a strong body. But in the past two years, he has been in poor spirits and has not been involved in many things."

"oh……"

I nodded.

At this moment, the door on one side was opened, Xiaolian walked out of it and said impatiently: "Why haven't you sent it yet-"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the servant standing in front of me with food, and immediately lowered his face: "What are you doing?"

I looked at her and just glanced at the corner of my eyes: "Who are you asking?"

Xiaolian's face turned red and white, and she hurriedly walked over, and the servant also said hurriedly: "Please forgive me, because Miss Yan has something to ask, so the little talent--."

Xiaolian didn't say anything, reached out to take the things, turned around and walked back to the room, and slammed the door. I sat there and saw the servant's embarrassing look, I didn't care much, so I just smiled and turned around to the stairs.

As soon as he walked to the corridor on the second floor, he heard the door of the room open again. Xiaolian threw out all the things he had just brought in and told the servant, "Our wife doesn't want to eat these things anymore. Make another serving as it is. I'll go to the kitchen to watch you make them!"

I had already returned to the room and saw Xiaolian walking over, and seemed to have a fierce glare at the top.

I shook my head and slowly closed the door.

The wind and snow outside rage for a whole night and it didn't stop until the next day.

After I got up, I pushed open the window on the second floor and looked out, and I saw a white snow field outside. The rising sun was rising, and the sun shining on the white snow, flashing with a lilac light, which was quiet and beautiful. At this time, I just felt that the world was pure.

However, this tranquility made me feel something was wrong after a while.

Especially after breakfast, I walked out of the inn gate and saw that the road in front of the door had accumulated thick snow after a night of wind and snow, which seemed to be treated by a plasterer.

This inn is on the official road, and there are many small roads next to it. I have walked from south to north and from the south of the north road many times. Of course, I have seen the crowding on the official road, but from yesterday, our people came here, and later the two generals passed by, and now, it has been so long that there is not even a single footprint on the road.

In other words, no one passed by on the official road!

Although I know that fighting is completely different from usual, when I passed Huaian, Yangzhou, the official road was sparsely populated, but it has not yet reached the point of extinction.

But now, there are few people on this official road not far from Cangzhou.

This is not very true.

Even if you are fighting, there should be casualties, even reinforcements, retreats, and talents should be there.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. I looked at the snow in front of me and stared blankly. At this time, Hua Zhu, who was already following me, walked up and said softly: "Miss Yan, what are you thinking?"

“…”

"It's cold outside, you'd better go in and rest."

“…”

I didn't say anything, but just frowned and looked at the silent official road outside the inn, and then slowly turned around and returned to the inn.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! When I was sitting in the room, I kept listening to the movements outside, and even often opened the window to look down. There was still thick snow on the official road, and there was no footprint representing someone passing by.

This is really unusual.

Even Pei Yuanxiu and his friends' actions became strange.

I remember clearly that he once made an agreement with Xie Houqi that he would reach the capital by March at the latest. Now it is the end of February, and we have arrived in Cangzhou. As long as we pass Cangzhou, we will almost open the gates of Beijing and Tianjin. Entering the capital is just around the corner.

But from yesterday to today, he stopped in this inn.

Of course, when passing by other towns, he would stay for a while, because those who followed him would invite banquets, and the two sides would also agree on the transportation of food and grass, the allocation of troops, etc. Although they did not stay for as long as they were in Huai'an, they still needed to meet.

But yesterday, except for Song Xuan and another general from the Cui family, no one came again. Even those two people came with armor.

All signs show that Cangzhou was not taken down in advance like Huai'an, Xuzhou, or Jining, like others, waiting for him to "take over" but is still fighting now.

This is worthy of fun.

I have passed by so many places before, and those people took the local area around November. Some killed local officials, and some directly persuaded surrender, which made Pei Yuanxiu's journey north smooth and there was almost no barrier. But Cangzhou, this place is not a military center, and it was Cui and Song families who fought together, so how could it be taken down later than in other places?

Just when I was feeling strange, a loud noise came from outside.

I felt aroused, and I hurriedly got up and walked to the window. When I opened the window, I saw a long team lined outside the inn, which were all soldiers who followed us from Jinling to here. Several generals were dispatching, and these soldiers were all fully armed and neatly walked out of the inn, and stepped onto the quiet and quiet road outside, pointing directly to the north.

This is--

Pei Yuanxiu's soldiers are going to be transferred to Cangzhou?

I suddenly felt even more strange.

Along the way, almost no movement was made by Pei Yuanxiu. After all, there were people opening the gates of various towns along the way. I knew very well that his soldiers were preparing to enter the capital, but now they have only arrived in Cangzhou, and there are two big families, why did he start to dispatch his own soldiers?

What is the situation in Cangzhou City?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. However, standing in this small window was not enough to let me see the situation in the distance. I held the window frame with one hand, and my fingers were cold and unconscious because of the cold wind outside. But when I saw the team slowly walking away, it was a thin black line in my sight, like a thin snake, and a "squeak" came from behind me.

Looking back, the door was pushed open.

Pei Yuanxiu stood at the door and saw me standing by the window and looking down.

My fingers trembled slightly, and subconsciously put them down. The wind immediately blew the window closed.

With a "bang", it seemed a little shocking in this suddenly quiet room, but he didn't say anything, walked over and closed the window a little tighter, and then reached out and grabbed my hand.

I twitched because my hands were completely numb and I couldn't pull them back.

He wrapped my hands in his palms, sniffed gently, and rubbed them: "Why can't take care of yourself so much? What should you do if you do this?"

I didn't know how to answer for a moment, so I could only grit my teeth and watch one of my hands slowly turn from pale to rosy in his palm, and gradually became conscious of the fingertips.

I bit my lower lip and finally said, "Why don't we go forward?"

He was originally lowering his head and was still gently venting on my hands, but his eyelashes trembled.

He said without raising his head, "You are in a hurry, do you want to move forward?"
