The snow has not stopped since the beginning, and it is still falling. After a while, a thin layer of snow was covered with both of us.

It should be very cold, but I can't feel it at this time.

Maybe over the past few days, numbness is the most perceived by me.

However, although his hand, although he had been in the snow for longer than me, his palm was as hot as fire, and it was so clear through his thick clothes that I even had the illusion of being burned by his body temperature, but at this time, there was no room for struggle.

After a while, he said, "What's wrong with you?"

“…”

As he said that, he looked up at the quiet big room again. He could still hear a heavy cough from afar. Judging from his appearance, Tianjin City should have fallen into his hands without any objection. There should be no surprises for this office in the government office. Therefore, he did not have any extra curiosity about this mansion and the people in this mansion, but instead focused all his attention on me.

He said: "Is it just because of what Xie Feng said to you? About me?"

“…”

He took a deep breath and said, "Have he told you that he was watching the star signs at night, knowing that I have at least ten years of luck to ascend the throne to the emperor."

“…”

I looked at him and couldn't say a word, but at this moment, the coldness around me and the heat under his palm made me tremble slightly.

Pei Yuanxiu laughed, "Qingying, are you also a person with a strange power and chaos?"

“…”

His smile made me slightly stunned.

He said slowly: "You are a disciple of Fu Badai, you shouldn't believe in these things too much."

“…”

"Even if the royal family set up the Imperial Heaven Prison, it is just to issue some decrees that the people think are convincing. Who would really believe that God would reveal the secrets of the world? If this is true, if God really corresponds to the changes in the world, wouldn't it become, can human wishes control God?"

My throat slightly quacked: "Don't you believe it?"

He smiled faintly and said, "I won't believe it all."

“…”

"If I really believe it all, then how dare I move a soldier easily before I know the signs of astrology? Shouldn't I watch the stars every night and wait for instructions from God to me?"

“…”

For some reason, I think these words seem to give me some comfort.

After hearing this news, my internal organs felt suffocating, but after hearing these words, I slowly relaxed a little.

Indeed, at that moment, when I heard Xie Feng say that, I was indeed a little hindered.

I asked myself that I am not a person who believes in ghosts and gods on weekdays. I believe more about retribution and believe that there is an inherent fairness in this world, which is as simple but eternal as "planting melons and getting melons and getting beans", and there is no need for any fine technique and algorithm. The reason why Xie Feng's words just now disturbed my heart is probably because my heart has been in chaos these days.

I watched him raise an army from Jinling and conquered Tianjin almost without any force. The capital was already in front of me. As long as I met with Shengjing's troops, the overall situation would be decided!

What I am really afraid of is probably this.

However, his words seemed to have shown me something. I looked at him: "Then, when did Xie Feng come to you and when did he tell you about this?"

He was silent for a moment and said, "After you go out to sea."

“…”

I was slightly stunned, and it seemed that I had reacted a little at this time.

After seeing Xie Feng and knowing that Pei Yuanxiu had already begun to plan his great cause, I realized that he had hidden a lot of people and things from me, such as the appearance of Xie Feng, his contact with Nangong Jinhong, and the chess pieces he set up in various places. Now I know that his acquaintance with Xie Feng was when I went out to sea.

I calculated silently and understood.

He didn't tell me when Xie Feng entered the Central Plains, but if his goal was Pei Yuanxiu at the beginning, it should have been after Pei Yuanxiu occupied Jiangnan and became huge. After Pei Yuanxiu and I got married, we happened to go to Xichuan, and just in Nian Baoyuze, we led our army to fight a battle with the cavalry of the Dongchaga division.

Xie Feng should have entered the Central Plains at that time.

However, I was there at that time, Liu Qinghan was there, and Yan Qingchen was there. These forces were intertwined and checked and balanced each other. Any rash move would lead to unpredictable results. Moreover, it was not easy to collude under the noses of so many people.

So, after we left Xichuan and returned to Jinling, and I went out to sea, a gap appeared beside Pei Yuanxiu.

It was at that time that Xie Feng appeared beside him.

He also told him the foreshadowing of this astrology.

However, Pei Yuanxiu seemed to care.

Seeing me lowering my head slightly, I couldn't even feel the snowflakes falling on my eyelashes. He sighed softly, lowered his head and blew into my eyes.

I shivered and looked up at him.

Looking at my in a hurry, he didn't say much. The hand holding my arm slowly moved to my hand, and then he felt that my fingers had been frozen, so he immediately made a gesture to the side.

Immediately, a guard stepped forward and brought an umbrella.

He said, "I asked someone to clean up there and go there first."

Since I have occupied Tianjin, any place and anyone in this city belongs to him, I am too lazy to ask them how they want to make arrangements, but I just gently broke free from his hand and walked forward.

He held an umbrella and walked beside me.

Heavy snow fell, and the surrounding white scenery was almost blurred when I looked up. I could only look down at the snow, watching my muddy shoes step by step into the snow, making a creaking sound.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! He walked aside, his steps almost the same as mine.

Neither of them spoke, the only sound was the rustling sound of heavy snow falling on the umbrella, and the sound of stepping into the snow under their feet.

I don’t know how long it took, but he looked down at my drooping eyelashes, sighed, and said, “You shouldn’t be such an easy person to be affected. Could it be that Xie Feng’s words really make you believe so deeply?”

“…”

Actually, at this time, I was more surprised.

Not only did he express his inattention to those words, he also came to comfort me.

But in his comfort, there was also a kind of deep belief and certainty.

I thought about it for a while before I realized that he believed it and he was sure that he was doing what he did.

It's him.

He really doesn't have to fully believe in the result of Xie Feng's stargazing, because if people like them really believe in ghosts and gods, they can't do too many things and dare not do anything at all. What they need is to let those who follow them and those who help them believe these prophecies.

I lowered my head and said lightly: "Actually, nothing is useful to say."

He looked at me.

After I took a step, I stopped and looked back at him: "The capital is already in front of you. You are only one step away from getting what you want. You don't have to believe that prophecy, you only believe in yourself; you don't have to prove that prophecy, because those who believe in this prophecy will work hard and will help you prove that prophecy, right?"

He looked at me for a while and said, "But you never believed me."

“…”

"Until now, the capital is close to us. I am only one step away from taking you back to where we met, and I can put aside all my worries and let you live the peaceful days."

“…”

"But you never believed me."

I smiled miserably: "I believe you or not, what's important?"

His eyes were always confident and determined, and at this moment, there was a hint of sadness: "If I say, you are in everything I am sure of; you are in the future I believe in. But you do not believe it, isn't this important?"

“…”

"Qingying, you never believed me!"

The heaviness in his words seemed to be immersed in the surrounding aura. I was shrouded in such an aura. I couldn't move for a moment. I just watched him holding an umbrella, walked forward and walked to me, and looked down at me: "Why don't you believe me? Are the things I did really so unforgivable?"

“…”

"Even if, I say, I will determine the life and death of the He family; even if, Luo Shi and I agreed to a large army to surround Dongzhou; even if I used some means to occupy Jiangnan... But which emperor has never done these things? Which person who achieved great things has never used such means? Who doesn't want to achieve something?"

He looked up at me and wanted to say something, and directly interrupted me: "Even Liu Qinghan, he has done so many things in Yangzhou to win people's hearts, and even recruited soldiers and horses in Xichuan to cultivate his own power. Isn't he the same? Do he want to start his own career?"

“…”

"Light, my origin is in the imperial city, and my goal cannot be to farm and weave men, and to rest at sunrise and sunset. If my origin determines my goal, it is necessary to take the highest step, and to say that there must be a life-and-death battle between Pei Yuanhao. Now that the situation is pressing, I am in a dirt-stricken way, I have no way to retreat—but, a good man, shouldn't he set a goal for himself, fight for it, and fight for it until he dies?"

“…”
