Without any mental preparation, I heard her ask about the battle more than ten years ago, and without any preparation, the scenes of the original began to appear in my mind, and the sound of almost real rumbling and noisy wind were accompanied by the sound of almost real rumbling and hustle and bustling wind. At that moment, I almost thought that memories had come true.

However, just as I was a little lost, Miaoyan's voice sounded in my ears again.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

“…”

"You answer me, mom."

“…”

I was slightly stunned, lowered my head, looked at her bright eyes, and then slowly said in a hoarse voice: "That was more than ten years ago. You are still young... just a little older, how could you remember?"

"So that's how it is." She thought about it and asked again, "Who was fighting with whom that time?"

"He is the one from Shengjing, who is fighting with your father."

"Oh? Then, what's the result?"

“…”

"The father defeated them, right?"

I smiled faintly, not agreeing.

If the war that year really came into being, Pei Yuanhao was defeated, and he was defeated very badly. Yang Yunhui and Chang Qing, two generals he relied on, were both in Dongzhou. In addition, Pei Yuanfeng's previous departure made it impossible for the court to have no military generals available for several years, which also became a great flaw for him afterwards.

He asked Fu Badai about politics. One of the suggestions that Fu Badai proposed was that there would be no major wars in the border within five years. It seemed that he had agreed, but in fact, it was a helpless move.

But none of these hurt me the most. What hurt me the most is Huang Ye Huang Tianba.

Over the years, I think he has been through suffering and pain all day long, but I can't save him.

But now... it may not be.

I heard before that Luo Shi did not appear on the front battlefield in the Central Plains because he was stuck in Shengjing because he was stuck in some things. When he recalled the Iron-Faced King, I guess that the trouble he encountered should be that the Iron-Faced King returned to the grassland.

And now, I already have soldiers in my hands!

Although this soldier is cold, he promised to hand over his property to me. Besides, he has always respected Huang Tianba's character very much. Now we are no longer controlled by anyone, and we have the strength of our own. It is not unimaginable to save him.

As long as I can leave here and return to Xichuan.

As long as the war in the Central Plains did not exhaust Qinghan's troops...

Of course, it is too early to think about this now. Not to mention that Qinghan and I have not returned to Xichuan, I am in Linfen City, so it is not entirely safe. How to fight the war and how to solve the danger in Linfen are still unknown.

However, I was probably too fascinated by the thoughts. Miaoyan reached out from the quilt and held my sleeve and shook it. I hurriedly came to my senses and looked down at her. She opened her eyes wide and looked at me: "Mom, what are you thinking, why don't you answer me?"

I forced a smile: "It's all from many years ago. Why do you mention this? Go to bed quickly."

After saying that, he had to pull the curtains on both sides.

But just as I was moving, Miaoyan suddenly said, "Mom, actually, you just said that war was between the father and... and my father?"

“…!”

My hands trembled slightly.

The curtain slowly fell, as if a cloud of mist floated between me and her, blocking each other's eyes, a little confused and unclear.

But, I clearly felt that Miaoyan's eyes seemed very powerful, as if two hands were about to stick out from her eyes and take out some truth from my body. Her voice also brought a bit of anxiety: "Mom, at that time, they had already fought a war, right?"

"..." I looked at her in amazement: "How did you know?"

This sentence is almost equivalent to affirmation.

I saw her eyes flashing clearly, as if a stream of light passed by.

She was silent for a while and said softly: "Because, I grew up next to my father since I was a child."

“…!”

She looked at me and asked seriously: "Mom, how did I get to my father?"

“…”

"In the past, my mother told me that it was because of some accidents. My father and you and I were separated from me, but what kind of accidents it was, you have never told me, and I have never thought about it."

“…”

"Father is the emperor. He is so powerful. Mom, you are so powerful. What kind of accident has made you separated from me."

“…”

"Only war, right?"

I realized that I underestimated my daughter.

I thought some things could be kept hidden from her, no matter how many conflicts there are in the adult world, children should grow up in love. Even if sometimes some things are illusions, they should maintain that illusion so that she should not have regrets. But I didn't expect that what was placed in front of her was a simple cause and effect, and she could see through it so easily.

But I don't know why she suddenly mentioned this.

Or, she kept thinking about this in her heart?

I hesitated for a moment before saying, "Since you already know, why do you still ask me?"

“…”

"Do you want to ask me what kind of accident it was, what happened, you will be separated from us, and you will be with your father, right?"

“…”

She nodded silently.

I thought about it for a long time, and then slowly said, "When you were separated from us, my mother was actually not by your side. At that time, my mother was captured and captured by Shengjing. When I came back from Shengjing, I realized that you were - you were gone."

Her eyes widened slightly.

"Why didn't you see it? What happened in the middle is not clear about."

“…”

"After meeting you again, my mother doesn't plan to ask again."

“…”

"Because it's enough for you to go back to my mother, I don't want to care too much."

“…”

"And you," I looked at her eyes behind the curtain and said seriously: "Your thoughts may be different from my mother. It's nothing wrong. If you want to know what's going on, you can also inquire and ask. But there are two things that my mother must remember."

She said, "Mom, you said."

"No one is willing to abandon his children. Your father loves you. After so many years of separation from you, he has never stopped sending people to find you. After finding you, he is happier than anyone else."

"The wonderful words are clear."

"And your father, you have protected you. Over the years, no matter how many conflicts and even hatred there have been between him and your father, he did not put those emotions on you, but allowed you to grow up happily by his side. This is a great kindness."

"I remember Miaoyan too."

"Whatever the answer you are looking for, remember these two things."

"……I see."

When she said the last few words, her voice trembled slightly. After a while of silence, she slowly raised her eyes and wanted to look outside. Although there was nothing in the dark night sky, the fierce fighting and killing sounds in the distance were endless. She said softly: "Mom, now outside the city, the people who attacked Linfen City were sent by my father, right?"

"……yes."

She paused for a moment, and in the silence, she could hear the choking sound of her throat. After a while, I heard her hoarse words: "What will my dad do to us if the city breaks down?"

Although her words were a problem, she seemed not asking me, because after saying the last sentence, she slowly lowered her head and her eyes seemed a little helpless and confused.

"How would he treat us?"

...

The child has really grown up, and her questions are getting deeper and deeper, and gradually, they have reached a point where I cannot answer.

Or maybe, in her, there was a more complicated past than ordinary people, and a more difficult interweaving love and hate. Perhaps, it was really the most difficult thing to face in life - unsolvable.

I smiled, reached into the curtain and gently stroked her face, and then blew out the candlestick beside the bed without saying anything.

The room was in darkness.

I walked over quietly to cover the windows on both sides, then lay on the couch and pulled a thin quilt to cover my chest.

I could see nothing in front of me, it was pitch black, and my ears were more sensitive. I could clearly recognize the different loud noises in the noisy wind, the sound of the city gate being hit, the sound of arrows flying, and the roars and roars of people.

Among these sounds, there is always a very slight but clear breathing sound.

A little light slowly penetrated out of the window.

It's dawn.

The hustle and bustle of wind finally calmed down when the first ray of sunlight came out of the sky in the east. Until this time, I felt as if I had removed an invisible boulder pressing on my chest, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

When I got up, I felt that my shoulders and back were so stiff that they were hurt.

It was not a relaxing time for me to sit still and take a breath. I stood up and packed the soft pillow and thin quilt on the couch. A dagger was exposed under the soft pillow. I heard the sound of Miaoyan sitting up and stretching behind me, and hurriedly put away the dagger.

Last night, she asked me, what would happen to us if the city breaks down?

In fact, this is really only a matter of fact, but I am afraid of this matter.

Actually, I can't answer her.

I know that no matter what Pei Yuanxiu became, even if he was so desperate and sad in the boundary river, I still believe that he would not let someone hurt us, at least-

He won't let me die in the hands of others.

However, war is war, it is a wild beast. Once the war starts, once the beast rushes out of the fence, it will not be controlled by anyone.

I don't want any tragedy to happen to Miaoyan, just like what I saw when I entered the imperial city.
