"Okay, I originally wanted to meet Miaoyan."
After saying this, I lowered my head.
The car staggered forward for a while, and the carriage was so quiet that it was not a sound. I thought he didn't care about this at all, but a hand appeared in his sight, slowly covering me on my knees, and his joints were white due to constant force.
Because of blood loss, his body was also cold. Only the palm could feel a little familiar temperature. It quickly ironed my skin and gently clenched my hand.
And that kind of temperature that was not hot also slightly relieved my tense mood.
Then, he slowly moved to my side, sat side by side with me, and said softly: "Don't worry, if you don't want to see him, then you will only see Miaoyan. I will deal with the rest of the matter."
“…”
I thought quietly for a while, then raised my head and looked at him, and smiled faintly: "Let's talk about it."
"Um."
He nodded and clenched my hand.
I tangled with him and looked at his dark skin and my snow-white fingers, as chaotic as my mood was now.
Of course I don't want to see Pei Yuanhao.
I had already made it very clear when I was in Beijing before. At least I had said everything I wanted to say, so there was no need to see each other again. Goodbye was just a recurrence of trouble and would not benefit both parties. But in this situation, several forces are needed - even if they are not honest, at least they must have basic trust in each other in order to cooperate.
Now in Xichuan, Yan Qingchen's attitude has obviously tended toward him, but Miaosanmen is still a variable. If Qinghan and I are not careful this time, we will easily have grudges, which will have a fatal impact on the overall situation.
And... I also understand very well. If I want to see Miaoyan, how could I not see him?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh, but I heard someone sighing lightly faster. I raised my eyes and saw the man leaning against his shoulder frowning slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of trouble in his eyes.
By the way, the situation he has to face is much more complicated and more difficult than mine.
He even had the level of Miaoyan to pass.
I really hope that the words I said to Miaoyan in the palace have already made her understand. This time, as long as I untie her knot, she can face her future easily. I really don’t want this to become an eternal shadow in my daughter’s heart.
How should I face her? Qinghan, have you thought about it?

After passing Jingxing Pass, we were not far from the territory of the Duke of Jin Gongsun Shu. We stayed for a long time and continued to move forward. On the third day, a team of people coming from Taiyuan to pick up the road.
But when I saw these people, they were different from the ones I had come to pick up before.
They stood in front of the carriage and said respectfully: "The villain is ordered by the Lord of Jin, and we come here to welcome Mr. Liu and Miss Yan."
If you were guessing before, then you will understand now.
We did not have any contact with Mr. Jin. This time we traveled to Shanxi, he would at most send someone to pick him up and say hello, but he would invite us over, and someone was there to see us.
Liu Qinghan lifted the curtain and said calmly: "Is it still peaceful for you Taiyuan?"
The man said, "The Marquis asked us to invite two masters, so of course we should protect our best."
Liu Qinghan looked back at me and nodded.
He turned his head and said, "Okay, then we'll go over and bother you for two days."
"Thank you, Mr. Liu."
All the people turned over and walked to the front. Liu Qinghan made a gesture to Xiao Yusheng and the others, and the convoy began to move forward with the people.
When the horse team got on the official road, it was much more comfortable than before walking on the mountain roads, but when he grabbed my hand, he obviously felt a smooth and cold feeling in my palm.
In fact, when we reach this point, people like us have keen insight and predictive power for many major events, and can also control the direction of the situation through the power in others and the power in our hands. But this time, we clearly know what the result will be, but the wheels roll forward are still as if carrying us towards an unknown mystery, which makes people feel uneasy.
This is probably because it is born as a human being and never enjoys happiness forever.
After another day, we entered Taiyuan City.
It was a cloudy day, with no sunshine or warmth, only the bitter wind kept whistling. From afar, I saw white banners floating on the city tower, roaring in the wind, and entering the city, there were not many pedestrians in the city, the streets were cleaned, there were many flagpoles on both sides, and white banners were also floating on them. I looked at it for a moment, as if it was still in the middle of winter, and my eyes were filled with white snow.
Our carriage walked along the way, walked for a long time, and finally stopped at the gate of the Marquis of Jin's Mansion.
Here, it was even more solemn. Two huge white lanterns were hung outside the gate. The people standing on both sides of the door were also carrying filial piety. Liu Qinghan got off the carriage first and then helped me walk slowly. As soon as the two of them walked down the steps, the people who served came up to salute us.
Liu Qinghan said: "Where is your marquis?"
While speaking, a group of people had already come out of it. The leader was a man in his fifties, with a neat goatee. He saw that he was used to being arrogant on weekdays, but when he came up, he was very respectful. He lowered his waist and said to us, "You two have finally arrived. Our marquis have been waiting for a long time. Please ask you two to come in with me."
Liu Qinghan paused for a moment and looked around: "This is in your house-"
"The noble man's coffin arrived the day before yesterday."
It turned out that it was a water and land temple for the Emperor. No wonder, the entire Taiyuan City was dressed in mourning.
He nodded gently and led me in.
This Jin Hou Mansion is a bit different from the powerful and powerful gentry I experienced from south to north. After all, it is the Marquis' Mansion, which is bigger and more majestic. The guards are different from the mansions I saw before. They are almost three steps, one post, five steps, and one whistle. The dirty and sinister look doesn't look like a Marquis' Mansion, but more like a military camp.
Liu Qinghan and I knew very well what it was, so we didn't say anything and followed the official-looking person.
After passing a few gates, we arrived at the main hall. There was also a mourning hall in this place, with white banners floating around. On the large open space in front of the mourning hall, dozens of monks were chanting the mantra of rebirth. We walked along the road that was empty in the middle, and someone had already handed over three incense sticks.
Chapter completed!
