"Young Master, why?"
This was the first time I saw Xie Feng being a little uneasy. Even Pei Yuanxiu was a little surprised. He looked at the familiar person in front of him with his hands behind his back, and then remained silent for a moment before saying, "Hmm?"
Xie Feng frowned slightly and said, "The army will set off tomorrow, why leave me here?"
I was stunned and subconsciously raised my head to look at Pei Yuanxiu.
He left Xie Feng here?
Xie Feng has always been by his side since the rebellion in Jinling. Although I know that his advisers and generals must be more than the few I have seen before, Xie Feng is the only one who is following closely. Perhaps in addition to the common goals, there are also some deeper trust in it than others.
But now, it is approaching the capital. At such an important time, he left Xie Feng in Cangzhou?
No wonder Xie Feng is coming to question him.
Pei Yuanxiu was silent for a moment, but did not answer him, but said calmly: "Why should I keep you in Cangzhou? Don't you understand?"
“…”
Xie Feng was stunned.
And I stood behind him and heard his calm and solemn words. Although it was just a simple rhetorical question, I immediately understood.
He was worried about Cangzhou.
There is also a "spy" he didn't have time to dig out, and it is very likely that it was among the Cui family and Song family. Each of these people held heavy troops and Cangzhou was close to the capital, which posed the greatest threat to him. If he fought in the capital and an accident happened here, it was very likely that it would have a crucial impact on the battle situation.
Therefore, he kept the most trusted and capable person around him in Cangzhou.
And I remembered that I just heard Song Huaiyi and Mrs. Song’s advice to Song Xuan at the banquet because Pei Yuanxiu wanted to take Song Xuan away?
I couldn't help but look at him.
Before I could think about anything, Xie Feng's breath slowly eased at this time. He was silent for a moment, and then said, "I, I understand."
Pei Yuanxiu sighed and said, "I thought you would understand without me saying it."
After saying this, he raised his hand and patted Xie Feng on the shoulder, as if he was planning to end the conversation. After all, in front of me, it would be enough to explain things clearly. If he talked deeply, he would eventually avoid it. So he turned around and said to me, "Let's go."
I nodded, looked at Xie Feng again, and followed him and continued to walk forward.
Unexpectedly, just as the two of us took two or three steps, Xie Feng's voice suddenly sounded behind us: "But I'm going to Tianjin."
“…!”
Not only me, but even Pei Yuanxiu's breath was suffocated.
He stopped and looked back at Xie Feng with some surprise. I was even more shocked.
When I turned around, I saw Xie Feng standing there. The sky was dark around him, but his eyes were particularly bright, like two beacons. Although I knew that martial arts practitioners had different eyesight and were brighter than ordinary people, at this moment, the two beacons in his eyes seemed to be burning, and a flame was flapping out in the dark.
Pei Yuanxiu obviously didn't expect him to say this, and subconsciously frowned: "What did you say?"
Xie Feng repeated: "I want to go to Tianjin with you."
“…”
"It's okay not to go to Beijing, but I must go to Tianjin."
“…”
Looking at his firm and undeniable eyes, Pei Yuanxiu and I were silent. If I hadn't been concerned about my identity and Pei Yuanxiu's presence, I would have blurted out immediately after impulse-
Why?
Why do you have to go to Tianjin?
Is there any reason for this?
But I didn't say it because I knew that Pei Yuanxiu must have the same doubts as me at this time, and he would definitely ask clearly.
However, after Pei Yuanxiu looked at him silently for a while, he spoke calmly and said, "Since that's the case, that's fine."
“…?”
I turned to look at him.
He said, "I'll send Qingying back to the room first, and you go to the study and wait for me."
Xie Feng accepted it quickly: "Yes."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Pei Yuanxiu also turned around and looked at me, and said softly: "Let's go, it's windy."
I didn't say anything, nodded and followed him. After returning to the room, he was not in a hurry to leave immediately. He also ordered the maid to send soup and desserts to see me take it, and then he gave me a few more words before leaving. I stood at the door and watched his back disappear on the small path in the garden. The direction I went was naturally the study.
Xie Feng must go to Tianjin?
This incident surprised me a little, and obviously, it was beyond Pei Yuanxiu's expectations.
If this is his purpose, it obviously doesn't make sense, because if a person like Pei Yuanxiu wants to accept someone to his side, he must have thoroughly investigated. Xie Feng's bottom must be penetrated by him to have today's status. Their goals are the same, and they are obviously directed to the capital. However, when going to Tianjin, Xie Feng obviously did not mention it in advance, which means that it has nothing to do with the cooperation between the two of them.
However, it is impossible for people like Xie Feng to be unable to distinguish priorities. If he wants to go to Tianjin, he must have his reasons, and it is a reason to convince Pei Yuanxiu.
I stood at the door and felt a colder wind blowing, making my hands and feet cold. I shrank for a while and finally retreated back to the room. The room was warm, but a little coolness slowly penetrated from my chest, which made me unable to calm down.
Tianjin is already the last city away from the capital.
It can even be said that it is Pei Yuanhao's last barrier.
Why has he not made any noise until now? I can't see any soldiers and soldiers of the King's Army, nor any news from the capital? Does he really have to wait until Pei Yuanxiu's troops arrive in the capital and arrive at the capital before he will react?
It is impossible, he never fights unsure or even does unsure things.

But no matter how I think, I probably can't figure out what he wants to do.

After listening to the north wind for a night, I welcomed the rising sun the next day in a daze of dreams.
Perhaps because the wind blew away the clouds in the sky overnight, it was rare to encounter such a good weather on the day of departure. Even the maids and servants who served in the garden showed a little smile on their faces.
And what makes them relaxed should of course be our departure.
After breakfast, Hua Zhu and Mrs. Song came to accompany me downstairs. The young lady got along well with me, so when I left, she showed some unwillingness to come. After I said goodbye to her carefully, she looked to the side again-
"Where is Old Mrs. Zhang?"
Mrs. Song said softly: "The old man was angry all night last night and couldn't get up today."
"Oh? What?"
"Before, my father-in-law agreed to take her to the capital, but now he is--"
"oh……"
"In addition, my uncle is leaving, the old man is even more angry."
"So that's what it is..."
I nodded.
Before, Song Huaiyi was eager to attack Cangzhou City, so he naturally wanted to send his mother who was already ill and confused to the capital as soon as possible. However, the situation is not clear now, and he has not found the "spy" who is traitor. It is obviously dangerous to go to the capital rashly. Besides, Pei Yuanxiu did not fully believe that these two families and would not let them all follow him. He took Song Xuan and Cui Jiancheng, one to express his trust in the two families, and it is indeed necessary to use them; the other hand, these two people are somewhat hostages to stay by his side.
As a parent, Song Huaiyi may not necessarily want his son to be in danger, but he has reached this point and must also clarify his thoughts.
I think Choi Tae also thinks so.
However, no matter which position Mrs. Zhang stands, she would not hope that her beloved grandson would follow people north and go north to experience that battle of ignorance of life and death.
I was silent for a while, and then said with concern: "Is her health okay? Unfortunately, time is tight, so I don't have time to visit her."
Mrs. Song smiled and said, "Miss Yan, don't be polite. In fact, this place is not far from the capital. When Mr. Pei is in a big event, my father-in-law said that he will definitely send the old lady to the capital immediately. At that time, there will naturally be a day to meet."
I smiled and said, "Yes."
At this time, a servant came to urge us, and it was time for us to go out.
I was accompanied by them all the way out. When I reached the door, I saw more cars and horses parked outside the door than when I came. I happened to see Han Ruoshi being helped by Xiaolian into the carriage.
She still has to leave.
But what about Han Zitong?
I looked around, but didn't see her. Instead, I saw Xie Feng. He rode on a tall horse and looked to the north with a serious expression.
It seems that he also convinced Pei Yuanxiu.
Although I still have many doubts in my heart, I don’t have to solve them at this time. After all, Cangzhou is too close to Tianjin. The answer I want should be in front of me in less than two days.
At this time, Pei Yuanxiu walked to me and said, "How are you doing today?"
He was asking about my body.
I just saw the doctor walking with the army, so naturally I made sufficient preparations and said lightly: "I'm fine."
He reminded again: "If you have any discomfort on the road, tell me."
"Um."
"Okay, get in the car."
I was helped by Hua Zhu to walk to a carriage. As soon as I lifted the curtain, I unexpectedly saw a person sitting inside. The curtain was lifted up and the sun shone in. The clear eyebrows and eyes that were depicted quite seductively looked at me.
Han Zitong?
She's already sitting in this carriage?
