There was not much surprise on Qingchen's face. He just slighted his eyelids and said, "It seems that he is not planning to enter the city today?"
"According to the spies ahead, this arrangement is made."
I looked back at Qingchen, the smile on his face was a little cold, and said, "He is cautious."
At this time, of course you have to be cautious.
Not to mention that Nishikawa has always had a bad relationship with the imperial court. Peace talks may separate some old clan forces. This is something that anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance. It is hard to guarantee that some people will want to attack him. After all, now, he is no longer the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.
When I thought of the old patriarchs last night, I couldn't help but feel a little worried and said, "Qingchen, I'm afraid I should be wary of it. If this news is known by someone else, something might happen."
Qingchen smiled faintly: "This news must have been known."
After he said that, he looked at Changsui: "I'll ask you, are those old patriarchs still staying in the Yan family?"
Na Changsui immediately said, "There are two people who seem to have gone out, and there are a few people around them who have left the Yan family, saying that they have something to do in the city."
When Qingchen heard this, he immediately sneered.
He waved his hand and asked the Changsui to retreat. I turned to look at him, and my brows were already frowning: "Are they really going to attack the emperor?"
"They are dissatisfied with the peace talks, but they cannot disobey me. Of course, they can only deal with the other party in the peace talks."
"But--"
"Don't worry too much," he said. "If he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself, there is no need to come to me to talk to you."
“…”
That's it, but how can things be so sloppy?
I thought for a while, and then said, "Qingchen, I still can't let go of this matter."
He looked up at me.
I said, "I know the emperor's methods very well. Of course he can protect himself. Moreover, he can arrive outside the city so quickly under such circumstances, and obviously he is prepared. However, those old patriarchs were determined to kill. Once the two sides fought, it would be impossible for them to be unscathed."
“…”
"As long as you see blood, it will become a revenge."
“…”
"Qingchen, it is the Yan family's choice to negotiate with him, but if the old patriarchs do not agree, we will also be hindered."
After hearing what I said, Qingchen didn't say anything, just lowered his eyelids. After a while, he said, "What do you want? It's impossible for me, the head of the Yan family, to come forward, right?"
I said, "I'll come forward."
He looked up at me.
I said, "After all, I am the eldest lady of the Yan family. Several old patriarchs will give me some slight face. Besides, I know him and I have some things that are easier to say."
“…”
Qingchen didn't say anything, but unlike the contemplation just now, this time, he was in a conflict. I watched the folds between his eyebrows gradually deepened again. After a while, he stretched out one hand and grabbed my hand, looked up at me and said, "Sister, you have suffered a lot of grievances."
I immediately understood what he meant.
I whispered: "This time, it's not a grievance."
“…”
"Qingchen, in fact, until now, I don't know why you chose to accept the peace talks, but I'm very happy that we two are standing on the same road. I'm doing this for you and for the Yan family. No matter what, it's not a grievance."
“…”
"What's more, no one can give me a grievance."
He was silent for a while, and finally sighed lightly and said, "Okay."
As soon as he let go, I was relieved and immediately said, "Then, send me more people, the situation will be bigger."
He looked at me again, nodded in agreement, and the order was passed down after a while, and the team of the brigade was waiting for me to set off outside.
I went back to my room and tidied it up a little. Su Su of course wanted to go with me, so she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Aunt Hong also came over. She said worriedly: "Just send someone to this kind of thing, why do you have to go there in person?"
I chuckled: "It's different."
“What’s the difference?”
"Aunt Hong, the one outside the city is the emperor after all. If he arrives in Chengdu City, there will be no one to greet him. Instead, he will face the swords, guns, swords and sticks of the old patriarchs. What do you think he will think?"
“…”
"Qingchen is the head of the Yan family. He is used to being above ten thousand people in Xichuan. He would not have thought of this. Even if he thought of it, he would not have been able to surrender to Pei Yuanhao."
“…”
"If this kind of thing is fine, it's okay when it's good, but if it's bad, it's a knife in my heart."
“…”
"So at this time, I have to come forward."
Aunt Hong suddenly realized it. She nodded gently and said, "Thanks to the eldest lady."
I just smiled faintly. At this time, Su Su had also packed up, so we both got up and walked out. Aunt Hong kept sending us to the carriage and told us worriedly: "Miss, be careful, if any news is transmitted back immediately."
"Don't worry, Aunt Hong."
After I said that, I gave the order to the coachman in front of me, and the team began to move forward.
I only walked this journey a few days ago, but I didn't expect to walk back so soon. I was used to seeing the scenery outside, so I had no intention of enjoying it anymore. I just sat in the carriage and lowered my head to think about it.
As dusk approaches, the team passes by a small town.
The people in this town probably had never seen such a big scene before. Many people gathered around to see it. The chattering outside was particularly lively. Susu couldn't help but lift the curtain and looked out, and suddenly "huh" sounded, staring at the front with wide eyes.
"What did you see?"
I also looked out from her sight, and was immediately shocked.
That person!
Su Su was stunned: "Miss, am I am dazzled?"
I was silent and didn't say anything. The carriage drove forward for a short distance. I whispered: "Give me instructions immediately, and the team continued to move forward, waiting for us in front, and the carriage slowed down."
Su Su hurriedly passed my words.
He and I got off the carriage and walked back for a short distance. Sure enough, we saw a tall back in the town with a very familiar look. As soon as Su Su and I approached, he turned his head and looked at me with a smile on his face.
"Why are you here?"
"What's wrong? Can't I be here?"
I couldn't help rolling my eyes. This person actually had the leisure and elegance to talk to me.
No one in front of me was anyone else, but Pei Yuanhao, who was wearing casual clothes and holding a fan, wandering leisurely among the crowd.
I was both angry and funny. I originally thought that he was outside the Chengdu City. How important this matter was to the entire Xichuan? What made me even more worried was that I didn’t know what actions the old patriarchs had, so I rushed over, but I didn’t expect that he still had this leisurely and leisurely look and ran here to stroll around.
"Your - don't you know where you are?"
"Although I have never been to Xichuan, the prosperity of Chengdu is world-famous, so how could I not know where I am?"
"Then you know, what often lies behind the prosperity?"
"If I don't even know this, how dare I enter Chengdu?"
“…”
Seeing his confident expression, I subconsciously looked around. The town was bustling with people on the streets. It was late and some shops had closed, but the vendors on the street were still shouting hard, attracting passers-by to stop. In the crowd, I saw several figures that were different from ordinary people.
His shadow guard.
I think it is indeed unlikely that he will enter Chengdu alone, so he will naturally have to take his Shadow Guard with him.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Pei Yuanhao looked down at me, but a hint of joy appeared on his face: "So you still care about me."
“…”
I looked up at him and said, "I just don't want to see myself. Qinghan and too many people have failed for Shan Jiuren."
Hearing me say this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
He glanced behind me and suddenly said, "Where is Liu Qinghan? He didn't come with you?"
“…”
As soon as I asked Qinghan, my eyebrows couldn't help but frown.
At this time, Su Su took a step forward, gently pulled my sleeve, and whispered: "Miss, let's stop talking for now. We are too conspicuous to stand here."
Indeed, it is rare that such a dazzling person appeared in this small town. Otherwise, Su Su would not have seen him just by lifting the curtain. Now that the three of us are standing by the roadside, there are already many passers-by looking at us.
So I said a few words to him, and the three of them walked along the street and found a restaurant.
The restaurants in the town will naturally not be as tall and luxurious as the capital, but they have a unique charm. The waiter also saw from my outfits and we were both extraordinary. He carefully led us to the elegant seat next to the window on the second floor. A curtain was put down, which separated the dull atmosphere here from the noisy world outside.
He sat opposite the round table, still stroking his warm jade with one hand, wearing a brocade dress, and he looked like a rich businessman, and it was indeed not easy to be discovered. However, at this moment, most of his idleness had faded away. He looked at me and asked seriously: "What's wrong? What happened to Liu Qinghan?"
It seemed that even he knew that if something hadn't happened, Qinghan would have come with me.
I lowered my head, remained silent for a moment before saying, "He, he and Concubine He have already recognized each other."
"oh?"
