I slept very badly that night. I woke up from my dream once, and my head was drowsy. Seeing that it was getting late, Su Su was worried that it would be bad for me to fall asleep again, so she came to wake me up. After waking up, she felt weak all over and my muscles were about to fall apart, and she wanted to slump on the bed.

But, I have to get up.

The Yan family still faces a lot of things.

I gritted my teeth and got up. After washing up, I went out to find Qingchen, but he was not in his room. After asking, I realized that early this morning, Mr. An and Young Master Anyang also arrived, and Yan Qingchen went to see him in person.

I asked, "Where are their people?"

The attendant shook his head and said he didn't know. At this time, Young Master Anyang came over from behind me, leaned over and saluted, "Miss."

I turned around and saw that it was him, and immediately smiled and said, "You are here."

He said: "This time my grandfather was delaying the road for a long time and was unable to come in time. I hope the eldest lady will not blame him."

I quickly said, "The old man is old, and Qingchen even asked him to come over, but in fact he was embarrassed."

"Miss, don't say that."

"Where are they now?"

"Just just now, the head of the family and grandfather had talked for a while. Later, I heard that the eldest lady bought a lot of horses from Qingchuan. Grandpa said he wanted to go over and take a look, and now he should be in the back horse farm."

"oh."

I nodded and wanted to walk to the horse farm, but after walking two steps, I stopped again, and looked back at Young Master Anyang: "You all know what happened this time."

He nodded and said, "Grandpa has known it for a long time. We have also heard of the academy's argument."

I turned to him and said, "I wonder what Mr. Anyang has to think about the peace talks between the Yan family and the court?"

“…”

He was silent for a moment before saying, "There is no point in the opinion, it's just a little surprised."

"Accident?"

"But, unexpectedly, reasonable."

"Do you think it would be reasonable if Nishikawa reunites with the court?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"The world's general trend, long-term division will lead to long-term division, which is common sense. The two forces in the Central Plains fight so strongly that ordinary people must think that Xichuan can stay out of the matter at this time, but often, after superficial safety, there will be greater danger. If Xichuan cannot choose a camp this time, in the future, it will be inevitable that Yangzhou will be in trouble."

It seems that although he has never been to Zhongyuan to experience those things, he has quite a lot of experience.

I asked, "What do you think is unexpected?"

He glanced at me and said, "It's the attitude of the head and the eldest lady."

He said, stepped forward and solemnly asked: "Miss, why can the head of the family make such a big concession? Is he really OK?"

...

There is someone who puts this question in front of me.

But although I was among them, I was the one who didn’t understand or even the most uneasy.

I was silent for a while, and then said, "Young Master Anyang, you must be tired from afar. Let's go and rest first. I'll go and see them."

He also saw that I had nothing to say, so he nodded and turned around and left.

I stood there, quietly watching his back leave. After a while, I turned around and walked towards the carriage.

The main house of Yan's family is the most grand building in the entire CD city. It is difficult to tell its true face from one house, one house, one lobby and one eaves. When I was a child, I liked the most that I ran around here to play hide-and-seek with the servants and maids who served me. I always felt that the road here could not be over, and there were too many houses to count. Now, after so many years, I came back again and found that there was no deviation between memory and reality.

This place is still so big.

After passing Qianqiu Lake, I walked along the winding path through a large willow forest and saw the horse farm behind me.

This carriage is not as good as An Jia's horse farm, but looking around, you can hardly see the edges. You can only see rows of neat sycamore trees in the sky, which only turn into small wooden stakes in your sight.

I walked up to the platform, but saw Yan Qingchen alone.

He stared at the horses galloping in the distance, and the dust in the sky was raised. At this time, it seemed to have become an inexhaustible haze.

I walked to him, but he didn't respond.

Usually, he is not such a dull person. I reached out and patted his shoulder gently. Then he was shocked suddenly, came to his senses and looked up at me: "Sister?"

"What are you stunned?"

“…”

"I see you've been watching those horses for a long time. What are you thinking?"

“…”

He didn't say anything, nor did he deny that he was not thinking about anything. The expression on his face seemed a little complicated. I realized that he might be a little confused, so I didn't ask more questions and just looked around: "Where is Mr. An?"

"After looking at it for a while, he was in poor health, so I asked him to go back first."

"Why would you think about seeing my horse?"

"This is his hobby in this life, and he is happy to see the hunt. Besides, Qingchuan's horse is not bad, so why is he willing to miss it?"

I stood with him on the platform and looked at the herd of horses in the distance. The dense patches of shiny fur shone brightly in the sun. They were led by the most powerful horse in the herd of horses, and they kept running on the wide horse field. The sound of horse hooves like thunder and the long neighing. Horses are really the most beautiful in life and power. Just looking from a distance like this, something will be born from the bottom of your heart without realizing it.

For example, power.

For example, hope.

I looked at the horses and seemed to think that money was not unfair. I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly I heard Qingchen ask, “How many stallions have you bought and how many mares?”

"Male, six, four, and four."

"Liu Qinghan is in Bishan, and he also has his own horse farm, right?"

"Yes, but there are not many horses. With these stallions, the number will increase a lot."

"Well, in two years, the number will be considerable."

...

I looked down at Qingchen. He did not frown, but the faint folds between his eyebrows were very obvious in the sun. The eyes were covered with clouds, and they were slowly moving as the horses in front of him continued to run.

At this moment, his thoughts must be extremely complicated, so he would talk to me about these boring topics.

I stood quietly with him. After a long time, I finally heard him take a deep breath and reach out to turn the wheelchair to leave. I hurriedly said, "Qingchen."

He looked up at me.

"Just now, did Mr. An tell you something?"

"What else can I say, that is, it's the same as the words of the old patriarchs last night."

"They are also caring about the Yan family."

"Sister, don't say this, I'm not a ungrateful person."

“…”

I looked at his cold eyes silently, Yan Qingchen seemed to feel it, and raised his head to look at me: "What are you going to say?"

“…”

I hesitated for a long time and finally said, "Actually, what they are worried about is also something I have always been worried about."

He looked at me with a smile on his face: "Sister, the peace talks between the court and the Yan family were made possible by you."

I said, "I just met the young master of Anyang outside. I asked him what he thought about the peace talks, and he said that it was unexpected and reasonable."

“…”

"Actually, I feel the same way."

“…”

"I promoted this peace talks because I knew it was a general trend and was inevitable. But what I can't understand is that as the head of the Yan family, you seem to be more urgent about this peace talks than anyone else. And you - it doesn't seem to want to get anything from this peace talks."

Qingchen looked up at me, his face slowly sank, and said, "How do you think sister? What do I don't want to get from this peace talk?"

"Because I can't see it at the moment, there is anything that can be worthy of making you give up so much."

“…”

"What crisis is Xichuan facing? Is it more important than the Yan family's status?"

He fell silent, but I felt that it was not that he could not answer my question, but that his mind suddenly drifted away. He slowly turned his head and looked at the herd of horses running quickly from a distance. The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, which made the earth tremble slightly, and the smoke and dust filled the sky, making the haze in his eyes deeper.

I bent down to look at him, held the armrest of the wheelchair with one hand, and said seriously: "Qingchen, what are you doing for?"

He did not turn to me, but he still looked at the horses in the distance, but his eyes were empty, and there was a sense of vastness of looking at the vastness of thousands of miles, as if he had seen nothing. After a while, he turned to me and said softly: "Sister, nothing is more important than humans. Without people, there is nothing left."

“…?”

I looked at him in amazement.

What's the meaning?

No one anymore...?
