I felt heavy in my heart. I returned to the station with the buckle and asked the doctor to bring us some medicine. I rubbed her palm and bandaged her. She was already flattered and refused to let me bandage her at all. It would be inconvenient to just say that way.

I packed up my things, and when she got up and went out, I said softly: "Ku'er, don't tell the emperor about what happened just now."

She was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "I understand."

I smiled and said, "Thank you."

Her face turned red and she retreated silently.

I know that she went to Chang Qing to report her life, but I don’t know how Chang Qing would tell Pei Yuanhao after she got the situation of these things that happened tonight. But in fact, the situation was already so bad. Both sides were tense, and they were just a confrontation with a sword and a spear. If you say less than one or two words, it would not have any effect.

I sat quietly at the table holding the already cold cup of tea, recalling everything that happened during the day—

Everything that happened and all those people said were like a chaotic scenery and the chaotic wind, which was messed up in my mind, and I couldn't figure it out at all. In the end, these messy lines slowly gathered in front of me, forming a person's outline.

His thin face, deep sunken, tired eyes, and half a cold mask.

Qinghan, is it really you?

Did you really spread that incident? Let everyone start to guess your identity. As your popularity grows and the people are increasingly supporting you, you will take advantage of the situation to overwhelm Pei Yuanhao, who is already in decline. In this way, you will slowly approach the position that makes the world look up to?

This may be a natural cause and effect in everyone's eyes, but... this cause and effect is true in you?

Although nothing happened this night, I could hear the constant noise outside.

In a trance, there was an illusion of wind and panic.

It was not until the next morning that the people below had changed several shifts at night, and on the other side, there seemed to be no peace all night. Both sides were in the place, but no one dared to do anything easily.

Miaoyan got up early and arrived at my room, as if to confirm whether I was still there. I knew she was worried about something, and didn't say much, so she pulled her over to the table and comb her hair.

Miaoyan turned his back to me and said softly: "Mom, you will always be here, right?"

My hand paused, and did not answer her question, but said softly: "Mom will be where she should be."

She was silent for a while and whispered: "Mom should be with me."

“…”

I didn't say anything, but just sighed softly, combed her hair, and then sat down and finished the meal quietly. Soon there was a urging sound coming from below, and it was time for us to set off again.

Even though Cao Che brought people, this place was still not absolutely safe for Pei Yuanhao. I heard that Cao Che and several other generals stayed in his room until very late last night, and I don’t know what they said. But judging from everyone’s performance when they woke up early this morning, they must still leave some things until they enter Tongguan and solve them after they arrive in Xi’an Prefecture.

So we went downstairs and walked out.

The weather is very good. I don’t know if it was because the battle in Linfen indicates that the rain had passed and the sky was clear. Although the roads were difficult to walk these days, the weather was always very good. The sun was shining brightly. I saw the colorful flags floating around the convoy outside at a glance. Some of the defenses were different from before. It was obvious that Cao Che’s men were dispatched to protect the emperor.

However, when I looked back, I found that Qinghan and his team did not follow closely behind like before, but were arranged far away.

Such obvious changes can be seen by the naked eye.

What's more obvious is that the common people were walking along our convoy, with a lot of them being distributed in front and behind, but now it seems that a large part of them are following Qinghan's team, looking like the men surrounding him.

As soon as he saw this, the people around him frowned. When Miaoyan saw it, he immediately calmly got on the carriage without saying a word.

I stopped for a while and wanted to see Qinghan. How was his body going, but after waiting for a while, I didn't see any movement. I don't know if he hadn't come over or was already in the carriage. When everyone in front had already got on the carriage, Miaoyan lay on the window and urged me to do so, I had no choice but to get on the carriage.

The convoy quickly drove forward.

According to previous estimates, it was normal that we still had two days from leaving Linfen to arriving in Tongguan, but because Pei Yuanhao was traveling day and night like that, he could reach Tongguan tonight. In addition, they no longer had to care about the people behind, and the speed was faster than before.

Not long after noon, I heard some tiger roars and dragon roars faintly mixed in the wind.

The wind gradually became colder.

On the endless mountain in the distance, a towering city tower is built against the mountain below, which looks particularly majestic. In the sun, you can see the flags on the platform fluttering in the wind. Although it is too far apart to fully see the whole view of the pass, you can feel the spirit of swallowing thousands of miles away.

There is Tongguan.

The throat of Guanzhong is also a place that military strategists have fought for since ancient times.

And I am also very clear that before entering Guanzhong, there is another most important thing that needs to be passed.

As our convoy drove forward, the howling sound in the wind became clearer and clearer. Miaoyan also heard it. He couldn't help but lift the curtain and looked out, but he couldn't see it clearly. He could only turn around and ask me: "Mom, what's the sound outside?"

I said, "Yellow River."

"Yellow River?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Yes, before we arrive at Tongguan, we must go to the ferry first."

She was dull all the way, and at this time there was something new that made her a little more lively. She blinked her big eyes and looked at me: "I have never seen the Yellow River before."

I smiled.

She grew up in Jinling and saw the same magnificent Yangtze River, but the majestic Yellow River is a world of difference from such a scenery. It is also rushing endlessly. The surging Yellow River makes people feel a shock that penetrates deep into their bloodlines.

Miaoyan looked at me with a little excitement: "Are we going to take a boat?"

“Not by boat.”

"If you don't take a boat? Then how can we cross the river?"

"There are no boats on the Yellow River ferry. However, there are other ways for people here to cross the river."

"What's the solution?"

"You'll know after you go over and see."

She didn't have the patience to wait for the past, and she seemed to be unwilling to have something to hide from her. She immediately moved over and pulled my sleeves and shook them hard: "Mom, tell me, how did you cross the river? I, I don't know how to swim, I won't ask us to swim over, right?"

I couldn't help laughing and lit her forehead: "I'm talking nonsense again, can I swim in the Yellow River? Those who know how to swim dare not jump down."

"Then you said we won't take the boat."

"The people here use a kind of leather raft to cross the river."

"What is a leather raft?"

I had been here once when I entered Sichuan from this road. At that time, I was almost as surprised and ignorant as her. Now I carefully tied the people here to the bottom of the raft with their cattle and sheep's skins, and told her how to safely cross the Yellow River. Miaoyan was amazed at the hearing.

But she asked again: "But, mom, you said that a raft can only be used as a dozen people. So when will we sit here? "

I smiled and said, "Of course they will send a lot of leather rafts to pick us up."

In fact, if the emperor was on a tour, under normal circumstances, they would have built a bridge in a narrow river surface and not so dangerous water. However, this time Pei Yuanhao also came here in a hurry, so he would definitely not be so troublesome.

Miaoyan looked outside, lowered her head and calculated: "It will take a long time."

I smiled and said, "So, this is why Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times, and it is not easy for people from the Guanzhong Plain to fight Guanzhong."

She let out a long "oh" and nodded.

The convoy walked forward for about half an hour and finally arrived at a place where the carriage could not move forward any further. We all got off one after another.

At this time, the sun began to slowly tilt westward.

There was originally a piece of yellow land around me. Under the setting sun, a little more dazzling golden light appeared. It seemed that the whole world had become dazzling, and the wind and sand were much bigger than before. After getting off the carriage, I immediately protected Miaoyan by my side and walked forward.

Pei Yuanhao walked down from the carriage, and everyone around him immediately knelt on the ground. Cao Che also came over and knelt in front of him and said, "Emperor, is the Yellow River Ferry ahead. I wonder if the emperor intends to take a rest first before crossing the Yellow River, or--"

Pei Yuanhao said: "Cross the Yellow River immediately, I don't need to rest."

"yes."

Cao Che immediately gave orders.

I looked back.

Qinghan's team did not follow us very closely. At this time, they could hardly see their whereabouts. They could only faintly hear some sounds coming from behind in the wind, and the wind and sand that rose out of thin air, but nothing else could be seen.

I calculated that if all the people on our side crossed the Yellow River, at least after dark, then they would - wouldn't they have to cross the Yellow River tomorrow?

If this is the case, then we will be completely separated.

Thinking of this, my mood became even heavier. I looked at it for a long time and didn't see the shadow of them coming. In front of me, a sound of horse hooves came. The pioneer spy sent by Cao Che and the others to the front to go to the ferry to order the vanguard spy ordered by the people from the ferry entrance were back.

However, he did not come forward and immediately asked the emperor to cross the river, but walked to Cao Che first and whispered a few words in his ear.
