I looked at him, and my breath was a little tight for a moment: "What do you think?"

At this moment, neither of us spoke, but something was communicating in our sight, and it had even scented up the spark.

Folang Machine Cannon!

Thousands of pounds of impact are difficult for ordinary people, animals, and even powerful crossbows to achieve. All I can think of now is that thing.

And when I thought about it this way, I suddenly understood something.

Back then, my mother appeared in the iron shop in Tieyushan and asked him to forge a dagger with a green mine. That should be to try his skills. Shortly after Tieyushan built the dagger, people from the Yan family came to him to order an iron car that could withstand the impact of a thousand pounds.

From that night's experiment, my mother not only saw Tie Yushan's superb skills, but also his character. So, after that, she began to promote Tie Yushan, and Tie Yushan started to make a fortune as an ordinary blacksmith, and now she has become a force in Xichuan.

And that year, my father fought a battle for my mother to show him in Baoyu.

The Folang machine cannon appeared in front of the cavalry of the East Chaga team for the first time. The earth-shaking destructive power was called "a unilateral massacre."

So, is this really the case?

Is it really that dagger at the beginning of all this?

Feeling my breathing was messy, Qinghan overturned his back to the back of my hand and gently grabbed my finger: "What's wrong with you?"

I bit my lower lip and said tremblingly: "I, I'm very confused."

“…”

"Qinghan, this incident made me very upset."

“…”

“I always feel—”

Before I could finish my words, his fingers pressed my fingers hard. I looked up at him, and saw a firm light flashing in his dark eyes, looking at me solemnly: "Don't be afraid."

With these three words, the temperature in his palm was also ironed in my hands and slowly spread to me.

He held my fingers, slowly clenched my hand, and then said, "There is nothing you are afraid of. We have both made it through so many storms in the past. I believe that we can definitely get through this."

“…”

Perhaps, I was really comforted by the warmth in his palm, and my originally disordered heartbeat slowly returned to normal.

I looked into his eyes and nodded gently: "Yeah."

He smiled and said, "Besides, all of this is actually our guess now. Perhaps the dagger given to His Highness the teacher was not the one given to him by your mother; and the one who asked Slang Jiangcuo to buy the green mine might just be to build agricultural tools. There is really no need to make a conclusion so quickly and start to worry about it."

I smiled bitterly. Indeed, all of this, even more than 90% of it, is my guess.

It's just a guess, but I scared myself into this.

I smiled and said, "You should be calmer than me. If I were alone, I would be blinded and fainted by myself now."

"You, I can't do it without me."

Seeing his smug look, I held back my smile: "Then, please give me some advice for the rest of my life."

As he said this, both of them couldn't help laughing.

The originally tight mood finally relaxed a little because of this joke. I drank tea quietly for a while and was thinking about what to do next. Qinghan suddenly remembered something and looked back at me: "By the way, does anyone else know about the thing you just said?"

"Tie Yushan won't go out to talk nonsense about his mother," I thought for a while and said, "But--"

"But what?"

"However, when I went to his place, our conversation was overheard."

"Who eavesdropped?"

"I think it's Qinghan - Yan Qinghan's subordinates. Now, you have all his people..."

After hearing this, he nodded gently and said, "I understand, I will restrain them."

"Then should we send back the message to Tie Yushan and let him--"

"No need," he waved his hand and said, "At first, it's still the same old saying. After all, this matter is just our guess. Don't act rashly before entering Xichuan. Next, Xie Feng has not been caught yet, and our every move may be under the scrutiny of people. If he finds it, it will be controlled by others. In fact, the key to the matter lies in the dagger of His Royal Highness. However, he is now in Xishan Academy, and Nan Zhenyi is there. I believe no one dares to act rashly."

I nodded: "That's right."

"Don't press this matter first, and I will talk about it when the emperor finishes worshiping the imperial tomb this time."

"Okay, I get it."

"Actually, I'm more concerned about another thing now."

"What?"

"That chain mail," he said, reaching out and rubbing his eyebrows gently, and saying, "I don't know why, but I'm always worried about this in my heart."

In fact, what he was worried about was something I couldn't let go, but looking at the hanging needle patterns that had almost formed between his eyebrows, he looked even more tired and tired, and said, "You just said that I was worried that all of that matter was our own guess, and this matter was even more -, why do you want so much? I don't believe that anyone can block our way."

He probably thought that I was a little confident and blindly confident, and couldn't help laughing: "You."

As he was talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the noise was quite loud. It seemed that some maids were running by outside in a hurry. Qinghan and I were very sensitive to these movements now. He immediately got up, and I hurriedly followed him out and opened the door. Sure enough, I saw several maids in a hurry.

I stopped one and asked, "What are you busy with?"

The maid said, "The emperor is back."

Pei Yuanhao is back! Nangong Lizhu—

I hurriedly asked the maid: "Where is Concubine Nangong? Has His Majesty the Emperor found her?"

The maid thought for a while and shook her head and said, "The emperor went alone, but he still came back alone. There was no one around him."

“…!”

My heart suddenly sank.

Not found, but Nangong Lizhu was still not found.

The instantaneous failure of hope made me feel a little overwhelmed, and my heart felt faintly cramped. Qinghan also sighed in disappointment, looked back at me, and immediately said, "What's wrong with you? Your face looks so ugly."

When I saw him looking at me, I immediately forced a little smile: "Nothing."

"Are you still worried about that, Concubine Nangong?"

"I just kind of..., hey, she doesn't know where she went."

"..." He glanced at me and said, "It's a good thing to find. Don't be anxious if you can't find you. It's not you who should be anxious."

"……Um."

I endured the pain in my heart and the sourness in my heart that I couldn't say, so I could only nod my head gently. He sighed and said, "I think the one who is really sad should be the emperor and the old man. Should I go over and comfort him?"

"Okay, forget it."

“…”

"Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you go through this, it will make them feel uncomfortable."

He thought for a while: "Yes, I can't help much if I do this."

My chest was so tight that I said, "Okay, since I don't go to Silang Jiangcuo, I'll go back and accompany Miaoyan. You, you can have a good rest."

"good."

I waved my hand and said goodbye to him and walked out, and stopped until I walked out of his yard, with a pale face.

After a breath of relief, I raised my head and went straight to Pei Yuanhao's place.

The attendant went in and sent me a message. After waiting for a while, he welcomed me in. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Pei Yuanhao sitting behind the wide table with a bad look on his face. Both hands were hung on the handrail, and one hand held the jade hanging on his wrist as usual, constantly kneading.

I stepped forward and said softly, "Your Majesty..."

He looked up at me, his breath was slightly heavy: "You already know."

I nodded and asked, "Is it not found, or--"

"The person who reported the news made a mistake, that's not her."

"……oh."

Although I have been disappointed, I was disappointed again after hearing this news.

However, feeling the aura that was almost shorter on his body, I still tentatively comforted him softly: "Maybe, the situation is not as bad as we think..."

He glanced at me and said expressionlessly: "I know, you don't have to say these words in front of me."

“…”

This person is really hard to talk to.

I stood there, and for a moment I didn't know what to say. He was silent for a while, changed his posture, and still hung his hands on the armrest, and said, "He doesn't know that, right?"

I knew he was talking about Qinghan and immediately said, "I still hide it from him."

"How about Lao Yao?"

"Old Yao said that as long as he is there, there will be no accident in Qinghan. However, he is also eager to see the Imperial Concubine."

He quieted for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I know."

“…”
