When the door slowly opened in front of our eyes, I still couldn't believe my eyes a little. I could only reach out and grab Qinghan's hand hard to restrain my excitement at this moment.

And he was much calmer than me, but his palm was slightly sweaty.

With a long and dumb whistle, the door finally opened completely. What caught our eye was Cao Ji and several of his deputy generals, and behind him were the soldiers standing in the city gate. Some of them had already supported the long swords on their waists, and everyone looked at us with a burning look.

Then, Cao Ji walked out of the city gate.

Qinghan immediately took us and walked forward.

When the people on both sides got together, he leaned over to Cao Ji and saluted: "General Cao."

Cao Ji was not tall, and he was half a shorter in front of him, but his face was full of beard, and his lifelong military armor was full of murderous aura, and he was not inferior to him in terms of momentum. Although he was not holding weapons like other soldiers, I was still very nervous. The hand holding Qinghan's hand couldn't help but hold a little tighter.

Cao Ji looked at him and then at me.

Then, he said, "All the words you just said are true?"

I hurriedly asked for an answer, but Qinghan pinched my finger and stopped me from speaking, and then solemnly said to Cao Ji: "There is no basis for empty words, but I think General Cao must not use the safety of His Majesty the Emperor to prove this true or false."

After hearing what he said, Cao Ji's expression became even heavier.

Several generals behind him, together with the master, walked up in a little confusion. Just as he was about to say something to him, Cao Ji raised his hand to stop them from speaking, and then slowly raised his head to look at Qinghan: "Liu Qinghan, I believe in you for the sake of the emperor's safety, and I believe in Miss Yan once."

I immediately smiled: "Thank you, General Cao."

"But!" he said coldly again: "I will send someone to follow you. If you have ill intentions and endanger the safety of the emperor, I will definitely take your life!"

Qinghan said calmly: "I will also offer the heads."

Speaking of this, both of them looked at each other in a steady manner.

A gust of wind blew from the open door, rolling yellow sand blew across our cheeks, and it was a little painful. I don’t know how long I stood in such a wind and sand, but Cao Ji finally waved his hand behind him. The soldiers lined up behind all retreated to both sides, and he himself took a few steps back.

Qinghan said, "Thank you!"

After saying that, he walked back with my hand. All of us got on the horse. When we walked past General Cao, he bowed and bowed to him.

General Cao just looked at him gloomyly and didn't say anything.

Our team quickly passed Tongguan, and after all of us walked through the city gate, the team of people who had followed Cao Ji immediately changed direction, and the back team turned into front teams and followed us.

Although there was another team following behind, and they were eyeing each other, as if they were about to stretch out their claws and pounced on them at any time, everyone was still very happy after finally passing Tongguan. Chabixing rode his horse forward while looking back at the tall and gray city tower behind him, and said, "I can't tell that General Cao is quite conscious of the current affairs."

Qinghan looked solemn and rode his horse with only his head down.

I looked up at him and said, "What's wrong? After passing Tongguan, why are you unhappy?"

Everyone looked at him, and he was silent for a while before slowly saying: "If it were normal, even if we were full of lotus flowers, Tongguan would not be so easy; but now, General Cao let us pass the test because of our few words.

I said, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

He shook his head: "It can be seen that everyone is not as confident in the current situation."

“…”

I also fell silent for a moment.

Indeed, Tongguan, as a place that military strategists have fought for in the past dynasties, is obviously a place that the incumbents valued very much. Pei Yuanhao must have said hello to Cao Ji when he passed by Tongguan. If Cao Ji was confident in the current situation, he would not believe our one-sided words at all. But now, he really let us pass the test. Obviously, he did not have much confidence in whether the peace in Shaanxi was good.

This period of silence was too long, and after passing Tongguan, there was a very long, very steep and rugged mountain road. No one could gallop immediately, so they could only tighten the reins and walk slowly. Listening to the monotonous sound of horse hooves, the uneasiness and confusion became louder. I raised my head and looked at him, with a smile on my lips: "But I think you always feel confident in him."

He looked down at me and said, "That's because I haven't seen where his bottom line is yet."

“…”

"I'm just a little worried that he will eventually lead the war to Xichuan."

When I mentioned this, my heart became a little heavy and said softly: "This is also what I am worried about. I don't know how Qingchen will deal with this problem."

"At least now it seems that the prince and the emperor's concubines entered Xichuan, and the Yan family did not make any moves."

“…”

"He is probably waiting for the emperor to enter Sichuan."

“…”

"At that time, your attitude is crucial."

After he said this, my mood became a little heavy. I thought, "Do you think Qingchen will listen to me completely?"

He also thought for a while and said, "I think he will listen to you when he tries to consider the interests of the Nishikawa and Yan family."

Try to consider the interests of the Nishikawa and Yan family...

When I heard this, I couldn't help but remember what Qingchen said to me. He said that he was from Xichuan - the "business keeper".

But what exactly is he really going to protect, and what crisis is Nishikawa facing now?

Normally, if Xichuan is really facing some crisis, then he should not focus on facing this problem now, rather than involve Pei Yuanhao’s matters. To put it bluntly, this is a messy water. When he stepped in, it would be possible to lead the war to Xichuan. At that time, can he still say that he is the "business guardian" of Xichuan?

Just when I was puzzled, a few ordinary people came to us.

Basically, after crossing the river and entering Shaanxi, we didn't care much about them anymore, because this place was already very safe than Shanxi, but now they suddenly came over, as if they had something to say, Qinghan immediately stopped the horse.

Everyone also stopped one after another, and the few people stood still and saluted us.

Qinghan said, "Is there anything wrong with everyone?"

One of the older men in the grade said, "Mr. Liu, thank you for your care along the way. Since Mr. Liu still has important things to do now, then we will not disturb Mr. Liu."

This is actually exactly what we want. After all, we can't take the people in full speed on the road and chase the people in front of us. So he smiled lightly: "Okay, then please do it."

The few people knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, my son."

After saying that, they got up and walked back, probably to say hello to the large number of ordinary people behind them, so there was no need to follow us at full speed. I watched them walk backwards and kept looking back at Qinghan, as if they were still saying something. I thought they were probably thinking about his good deeds, but when I looked closely, I found that their expressions were a little weird.

Qinghan seemed to feel it himself.

We were both silent for a moment, and after a while, I said, "Qinghan, is there something wrong with me?"

He didn't say anything, but just frowned slightly and looked back.

I asked him, "Do you want to ask?"

He thought about it and shook his head: "The important thing now is to catch up with them first and then talk about it."

So, when everyone finally walked through this difficult mountain road and got on the official road, they immediately repaired it and started to move forward at full speed.

I sat in his arms, listening to the sounds of horse hooves around me, and would look back from time to time. Behind us, the team sent by Cao Ji always followed. Although the number was not large, it seemed very loyal and kept a distance from us at a distance of not far or near. If we really did anything bad, they would definitely rush up immediately.

With a tail behind us, we kept rushing forward.

However, they were already very tired after all, and they almost didn't sleep all night on the bank of the Yellow River the night before. Even if everyone galloped hard, their speed still slowed down.

We arrived in Weinan in the evening.

I was originally a little worried that Qinghan would not rest in order to catch up with them, but unexpectedly, he slowly slowed down the horse speed. When the people around him saw that his speed was slowing down, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

We stopped outside a post station. He took the lead in turning over and getting off the horse, waved at the people behind him. Several of his followers immediately came forward to make arrangements, so that everyone could rest and feed the horses, and he walked into the post station by himself.

He walked very quickly. When he entered the door, he almost tripped by the threshold. I was so scared that I grabbed his arm: "Qinghan, what's wrong with you?"

I looked up and scared me.

His face turned particularly pale at some point, and his forehead was covered with sweat, falling like broken beads.

I hurriedly said, "What's wrong with you?!"

His lips were dry and almost cracked. At this time, he looked at me with a trembling trembling. After a long time, he slowly squeezed out a few words from his throat: "Let them... prepare medicine!"

medicine!
