I hugged Miaoyan, and she hugged me too.

Although it is a mother-son connection, I know why she is worried at this moment, but she really may not know why her mother shed tears.

Even though my heart was full of holes and even the pain was so painful that I couldn't breathe, I still tried my best to soothe her and calm her down slowly. By the time I left her room, it was almost dusk.

An afternoon passed like this.

Although I spent the afternoon in her room and didn't go anywhere, and didn't even do anything, I was so tired that I seemed to fall down the next moment. The setting sun shone on me, casting some hunched back on the wall. When I looked at my shadow, I seemed to feel a heavy stone pressing heavily on me.

I stopped and took a breath.

At this time, several maids walked over with laughter.

When the Linfen siege was lifted, everyone was happy and seemed to have reborn. The originally depressed mood improved a little because of looking at the bright smile of others. I called them and asked, "Did you see Mr. Liu?"

Several maids hurried over to pay my respects to me, and one of them said, "Miss Yan, Lord Zhang has placed Mr. Liu and his people in the South Courtyard. However, it is not our service there, and no one knows."

"Oh? Who is serving?"

"It's Mr. Liu's own person."

"oh……"

"Ms. Yan wants to go over? Let's send Miss Yan over."

I smiled and said, "Okay."

A few girls surrounded me and walked towards the south courtyard chattering and laughing. Although it was a little noisy, I would rather someone make a noise in my ears at this time. Listening to the laughter of the young girls is better than listening to my own sighs. After a while, I arrived outside the south courtyard.

I have never been to this place after I moved into the official office. Compared to the East Courtyard where we live, it is much quieter. There are almost no voices inside, and only two guards stand at the door.

However, as soon as we approached, we heard footsteps coming from the other side. When we looked up, Qinghan came over with his several followers, and while walking, he whispered: "How do you spread the words outside? You don't have to worry about them, as long as you go on the way-"

As he was talking, he saw me as soon as he looked up and was stunned for a moment.

I looked at him and whispered: "You're back."

His lips opened and closed a few times, but no sound was made. Instead, after looking at me silently for a while, he nodded, immediately turned around and said a few more words to the people around him. The people took the order and then he came over.

Several maids behind me saluted him and turned around and left.

He came up to me and looked down at me: "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

"No, I just came here."

"That's good, I just came back."

"I saw it."

“…”

“…”

After the two of them finished speaking, they seemed to have no idea what to say. They looked at each other quietly for a while. I just looked at his slightly red cheeks and didn't say anything. He coughed lightly and said, "Go in first."

"Why."

After saying that, the people on both sides turned around and walked in, and the two guards guarding the door saluted us respectively.

But as soon as we walked into the gate, suddenly, there was another burst of rapid and heavy footsteps coming from behind. A man ran to the door panting. When he looked back, he saw another person like a guard who stopped behind us and leaned over and bowed: "Young Master."

Qinghan looked back at him: "What's wrong?"

The man said, "The soldiers of the imperial court have left the city."

"Out of the city?"

He and I were both stunned for a moment, and Qinghan immediately turned to him and said, "What are you doing?"

The man said, "We don't know either."

"When did it happen?"

“Just just now.”

"Who leads the team?"

"The men led by Lord Zhang Ziyu himself."

Qinghan paused for a moment, frowned, turned to look at me, and I was stunned. Zhang Ziyu was absolutely loyal to the emperor and could not act without permission. He led his army out of the city this time and would have done so only after receiving the emperor's order.

I remembered that in the morning, after Qinghan brought people out, Pei Yuanhao seemed to be explaining something to Zhang Ziyu. Zhang Ziyu immediately took his men down. If I was right, I should be preparing for the troops. However, this battle has been clearly over, the battlefield has been cleaned up, and Xie Houqi and the others are about to withdraw their troops. They will pursue them at this time...

What is the purpose?

I fell silent for a moment, both of them frowned and thought about something. Suddenly, a light flashed in my mind, and I suddenly raised my head. As if he was thinking about something, he also opened his eyes and looked at me: "Yes-"

I nodded.

Catstone car!

The enemy troops outside the city bombarded Linfen City all night, causing a huge shocking catapult!

If I guess correctly, it is the result of the Folang cannon that Pei Yuanxiu imitated. Although it is not as lethal as the rumors, judging from the battle situation last night, it basically hit the teams in the city overwhelmingly. If it weren't for Qinghan leading his new force suddenly arrived today and joining Zhang Ziyu's team, then the victory or defeat might have been a real difference.

But during the battle this morning, I didn't hear the roar of artillery fire again. If the gunpowder they used was not used up last night, there was something wrong with the operation. After all, it was only a few years since I learned about the Florence artillery, it was impossible to imitate it. Moreover, it had not appeared in previous wars. Obviously, this was the first time to use it, and it was understandable that there was a problem.

Pei Yuanhao saw the power of this catapult, and for him, it was also his dream to get such a powerful weapon.

Therefore, he asked Zhang Ziyu to lead troops to the battle now, which must be to seize the catapult cart.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! When I think of this, my brows frowned.

No matter what the two sides of the war are, or the outcome of the war, I never have any good feelings for this weapon. If a thing exists for killing, then no matter how useful it is, it will make me like it.

I looked at Qinghan with concern.

He was silent for a moment, and then said to the attendant: "Let them prepare and I'll go over and take a look."

The man replied, "Yes."

Qinghan turned his head to look at me again, obviously a little worried that I would be disappointed, but I just smiled faintly and said, "Go."

He hesitated and looked at me, and I said again, "You go and do your business first, I will wait for you."

He thought about it and said to me seriously: "Then you wait for me in my room and don't go anywhere."

I nodded: "Yeah."

"You haven't eaten yet."

"Um."

"I'll let them prepare it for you."

"OK."

"Remember, wait for me to come back."

"I know, you go quickly."

For some reason, seeing him so worried and still talking, my mood improved a little more, so I simply reached out and pushed him. Then he turned around and looked back at me while walking. It was not until he walked away that his steps gradually accelerated. Soon, his back disappeared in front.

I kept watching him go away, and then slowly turned around and walked in.

I don’t know if there were no people living in the South Courtyard at the beginning, but I cleaned it up for him when Qinghan came. There was a breath of raw and cold everywhere, and you could see the traces of water sprinkled by the corners of the wall. Fortunately, he brought a lot of people, and there were guards at the entrance of each garden, but everyone was very quiet and could not hear any voices when walking on the road.

After a while, a servant came over and led me to his room.

It was obviously a temporary accommodation. Although the room was large, except for some basic furniture and utensils, there was nothing else. The landscape painting hanging on the wall seemed to be temporarily found and hung, which seemed a little out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere. He obviously didn't care much about these things, and he even brought not much. I looked at his wardrobe, where two pieces of changing clothes were placed in it, and they were not even folded.

I just came in and found out that there was no maid in the southern courtyard, he didn't bring it himself, and no one in the official office could come in. There were some trivial matters, but without women, it would be much worse.

So I took out his clothes and folded them one by one. Seeing that there was no hot water in the teapot on the table, I sent someone over, brewed a cup of tea, and sat quietly at the table waiting for him.

The sun sets and the dusk falls.

After a while, the sky outside turned dark.

The food delivered by the servants has become cold and hot, and it has been hot and cold for several times. After a long time, the food is not easy to eat. I can only ask them to make it again. As time goes by, he should have come back.

Sure enough, when the third hour of the Xu hour, when the new round of food was just delivered, a familiar sound of footsteps sounded outside.

I immediately got up, and before I could walk over, the door had been pushed open. Qinghan stood at the door and saw me coming up as soon as he looked up.

His eyes were originally very tired, with a little deep fatigue, but at this time, they were immediately lit by the candlestick on the table behind me, and their eyes flashed as they looked at me.

I said, "Are you back?"

“…”

He looked at me for a while before saying, "Yes."

"Are you tired?"

“…”

"Are you hungry?"

"I guess you must have not had time to eat yet, so you asked them to bring the things to wait for you first. It just so happened that it wasn't cold yet."

“…”

"Would you like to eat some first?"

He seemed to lose his reaction for a moment. After looking at me for a while, his eyes slowly moved towards the round table, and several plates of steaming dishes, even the soup was hot.

Immediately, the little bit of tiredness that he had originally carried was swept away, and he seemed to have come alive and walked in and sat at the table.
