emperor?

Pei Yuanhao?

I was stunned for a moment and couldn't react for a while. I still saw Du Yan walking in from outside and saying with a serious look in front of me: "Miss Yan, your descendant."

Really come?!

Pei Yuanhao is really here!

I stood up slowly by holding the edge of the table. Tiezhen turned to look at me and said, "Miss Yan, what's going on?"

“…”

I was silent for a moment before saying, "I'll go out and have a look first."

He nodded and walked out with me. The people outside were clamoring. Because the village was in a mountain nest, these sounds seemed even more noisy. As soon as I went out, I felt like my head was about to explode. It was also possible that my mind was already in a mess at this time, so I felt this way.

Everyone saw me going out, but it was quiet for a moment. Someone said, "This is Miss Yan?"

The old man from Tiezhen walked over and said, "Everyone, don't make trouble first. This one is the eldest lady of the Yan family. She came here in person just to ask about what happened a few days ago."

Someone immediately said, "What do you say about this today?"

"Yes, why is there another emperor suddenly?"

"What big thing happened to our Taihe?"

Everyone was talking all the time, and my mind was even more messy. After a while, I raised my hand and said calmly: "I understand your worries. I came here to check some things. It has nothing to do with you and has nothing to do with the people here. I will definitely not affect your life. As for today, I have no idea about the emperor coming here. When I go over and ask, I will definitely give you an explanation."

The old man in Tiezhen immediately said, "Miss Yan spoke, are you still worried?"

Everyone looked at me and was somewhat embarrassed by the Yan family. Someone said, "Okay, since Miss Yan spoke, we won't be embarrassed."

"Yes, I just hope that I won't happen like that a few days ago."

“That’s it…”

Although everyone was anxious, they didn't really want to make things difficult for us. After saying a few words, they dispersed. I finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, just now, I didn't think clearly about what I was going to do, but just said those words and dealt with what was happening in front of me. Fortunately, the people here were simple and straightforward, and they were easily convinced.

But what happened next was not that easy.

I looked up and looked outside and asked, "Where are them?"

Du Yan took a step forward and said, "I have arrived at the entrance of the village outside."

"How many people have come?"

"It's all here."

“…”

I calculated that he and I left the Yan family on the same day, but I set off earlier. And because I was worried about Qinghan, I almost had no rest on the road and came day and night. He arrived here at this time, only half a day later than me, and the time just happened.

In other words, he left the Yan family and came directly to Taihe.

In other words, his destination was Taihe from the beginning.

Thinking of this, my breathing became heavier.

Qingchen, let him come to Taihe?

This is during the peace talks. He thought that Pei Yuanhao had asked millions of people to move to Xichuan. When I asked him, when Pei Yuanhao asked what we wanted, he did not answer me directly, but just smiled bitterly and said that if I knew, I would definitely be angry with him.

That is, Taihe Iron Ore?

Pei Yuanhao, after entering Sichuan, negotiated with Xichuan. Although he got the benefits he wanted, as the ruler, I understand very well what the people mean to him after the war. That was a big bleeding thing, and he sacrificed those interests in exchange for this?

Du Yan had already walked to me and looked ahead with a blank look. He had no reaction for a while and whispered, "Miss Yan?"

I took a deep breath and said, "Let's go and go out and have a look."

"yes."

|

He and the old man in Tiezhen accompanied me out of the abandoned village like a maze, and walked to the entrance of the village outside. It was deserted and saw a team neatly lined outside, and a carriage parked there.

I recognized it at a glance, it was Pei Yuanhao's golden car.

He is really here.

The one walking outside was his guard, and naturally he knew me. He immediately went up to the car window and said a few words. Soon, the curtain in front was lifted up, and the guard immediately stepped forward to serve Pei Yuanhao and got off the carriage.

Through the gap in the curtain, I saw Ye Yunshuang and Princess Ling also inside, jutting their heads to look at us.

Pei Yuanhao stood up straight and took a long breath. He probably had been sleepy inside for too long and couldn't stretch it out. Then he looked at me, and his eyebrows were slightly frowning, as if he was a little surprised. He walked over slowly and I walked over.

When the two of them walked to the same place, before he could speak, I said first: "Why did you come here?"

He looked down at me with a smile, his eyes curled, but the smile inside was not relaxed or pleasant, and he said, "You asked the first question like this, but I was a little bit difficult for me to answer."

My expression was very serious: "What are you here to do?"

He looked up at me and could vaguely see the continuous mines behind him. Taihe's wealth was more than that in front of him. Then he withdrew his gaze and smiled, "I came here for the iron ore of course."

"What iron ore?"

“…”

He smiled and said nothing. I had already felt something vaguely and asked, "Qingmine?"

He looked at me, his eyes flashing, and after a while, he said, "Light, you know more than I know; you are much smarter than I think."

"You really came for Qingmine?"

"good."

He gave a positive answer, and my heart had sunk.

It's really Qingmine, does he really want Qingmine?

If it were before, I might have wondered that this heavy iron ore that cannot be used in building weapons is too few, but now, since the battle in Linfen and Qinghan said those words to me, I would be really stupid if I can't explain them clearly.

I looked at him with a heavy look, but maybe because this fact was too important, I didn't know what to say.

The two of them stood in silence for a long time before Du Yan took a step forward and said, "Ms. Yan."

Only then did I come to my senses, it was not so good to stand at the entrance of the village.

After hesitating for a moment, I said, "Go in first, let's talk about it later."

He smiled and waved his hand to the people behind him, and the attendants immediately followed. The carriage inside could no longer go. Ye Yunshuang and Princess Ling could only get out of the carriage, and the group slowly walked in.

This maze-like secluded village made Princess Ling a little scared. Ye Yunshuang kept comforting her along the way and asked me why there was no one in this village. I roughly introduced the situation here. When I finally got to the end, I saw the village in the mountain nest. Such a strange scene made them sigh. Even Pei Yuanhao couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect there was such a place in the world."

I said, "They had no choice but to retreat to that place."

As I said that, I looked back and saw that the many people we brought had already aroused great vigilance from the people in the village. I even needed Tiezhen as the village chief to appease them. Pei Yuanhao, even though he had reduced many guards and entourages this time, was still a huge crowd of people. I said, "Your Majesty, the people here have only guarded here for generations to do their business. They have never seen such a formation, which will scare them."

Pei Yuanhao glanced at me.

Before he could speak, Ye Yunshuang immediately said, "But what if they hurt His Majesty?"

I said, "This is their home. Only others come here to hurt them. They will not be twitching in their own homes."

After hearing this, Ye Yunshuang was stunned for a moment. Pei Yuanhao smiled slightly and nodded, "It makes sense."

Then, he called the attendant behind him, gave a few instructions, and the team behind him stopped.

I walked up the stone steps on one side, only him, Ye Yunshuang, and Princess Ling, followed with a few servants. Tiezhen was waiting at the entrance of the village, and Tierong was standing behind him, with a look of alert on his face, especially when he saw the tall figure behind me slowly walking over. Although Pei Yuanhao was not wearing the emperor's dragon robe or the imposing imperial carriage, he himself was a very stressful existence. As soon as he approached, the old man in Tiezhen couldn't help but cough.

Tierong hurriedly reached out to support him: "Grandpa."

Tiezhen coughed twice before looking up at Pei Yuanhao again, and slowly said, "You are the Emperor of Central Plains?"

The servant behind Pei Yuanhao was about to come up to say something, but Pei Yuanhao had already reached out to stop him: "That's it."

Tiezhen thought about it and said, "We will not worship the emperor of the Central Plains, I will salute you."

After saying that, he bowed to Pei Yuanhao, but Pei Yuanhao didn't mean to be angry. In fact, after entering Xichuan, especially in the Yan family, no one gave him the emperor's tribute. The sky above the people in Xichuan is not yet named Pei, so he knew very well, so his attitude was always low.

I said, "Old man, they also came for Taihe's iron ore. Can you arrange it for them first? It is best to be a secluded place and don't disturb anyone."

Tiezhen frowned, looked at Pei Yuanhao and the others again, thought for a while, and then said, "There is a place, but I need to clean up."

"It's okay," Pei Yuanhao smiled. He told people to come and clean up, and the people walked into the depths of the village with Tiezhen.

He looked back at me and said, "I will talk to you during this period."
