I said, "Just just now, after Qinghan and Mo Tieyi came here, a mine collapse was triggered. The collapsed place just blocked the way into the mountain. That 'old guy' was in the mountains."
Pei Yuanhao's brows immediately frowned: "In other words, now, I can't see him?"
"Yes."
"How much time will it take to clear the road?"
"It will take about one or two days."
He thought for a while and said, "Let them bring my people with you and do their best to deal with this matter."
I said, "This is the best. After I settle down, I will tell them."
After saying this, Pei Yuanhao took another sip of tea, but this time, he seemed to notice that the tea was already cold. He ummed, looked down at the teapot in the center of the table, but did not reach out to get it. Instead, he swallowed the cold tea and looked at me again, his eyes softening a little more than just now.
He said: "If Liu Qinghan wants to return that ring, it is really-"
"Your Majesty," I interrupted him directly: "I don't want to mention this matter yet."
“…”
"Stop talking."
Although I knew that the matter was not irreversible, at least on my side, I didn't even have the truth at all. He owed me an explanation, but I still wanted to be stabbed into a thin thorn, especially when Pei Yuanhao asked it, it hurt.
He looked at me quietly for a while and said, "Okay."
So in the next time, neither of us talked anymore. After sitting for a while, we left the house. We quickly cleaned up a larger house for him, Ye Yunshuang, and Princess Ling, but the settlement of so many people he brought became a problem. Some could come here with us, and some could only be temporarily stationed outside the village. This incident also caused a headache for the two brothers Wenhu and Wenbao for a long time, and there was a small dispute. After all, the large army was outside, and the emperor and a few people lived in this village that was not friendly to him. The safety was completely unsafe. In the end, they believed that the people in Xichuan would not disobey my will and tried to stop.
When everything settled down, it was already dusk.
Pei Yuanhao finally took his people to their temporary residence. What I originally wanted to do today has been delaying because of his arrival. After a hurry of dinner, I found Tiezhen and told her that I wanted to go and see the collapsed mountains and the road leading into it. He did not stop him, but just asked Tierong to take me there.
Because the sky gradually became darker, Tierong picked up a lantern and took me there. After leaving the entrance of the village, walked through the abandoned village in front of him, and bypassed the mountain. A road appeared in front of him. Some surprise was that this road was not the path we saw before, but a relatively wide road. Perhaps because mules and horses pulled carts to transport heavy ore and iron tools over the years, the ground was crushed by wheels and ravines.
The road winds into the distance among the mountains on both sides, and I could see at a glance that the mountain at the farthest had a clear gap under the sunset, and some of them usually collapsed. Loose soil and rocks piled up on the road, covering the entire road at the foot of the mountain.
A dozen people were busy there.
When Tierong took me over, the sun was about to set. I happened to see a few people stop and sit on the rocks on the side of the road to rest. When they saw us coming, they all hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Miss."
"Thank you all." I looked ahead. There was still a lot of soil and rocks on the road, several meters high, especially some huge rocks as big as a house. Even if you have to clean it up, it would be a very dangerous thing.
I asked, "How long does it take to clean up here?"
They looked back and said, "It will take two days."
"Thank you harder for everyone, it's best to be faster."
"Miss, we also hope to be fast, but we don't have enough staff."
"That's right, the village is full of old, weak, women and children, and they can't handle it at all."
When Tierong heard this, she immediately said, "I'll help you tomorrow."
Someone immediately laughed and said, "Xiao Rong'er, don't be stubborn. This is different from a blacksmith. When you are thrusting, people will hit people when digging the road. If you are hurt, wouldn't your grandfather fight with us?"
"That's right, go back obediently."
Tierong immediately blushed when they said this and said, "Don't look down on others."
At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps behind me, and there were quite a few people. When I turned around, I saw a group of black people coming over. When I looked closely, I saw that they were all Pei Yuanhao's people. Then I remembered that he said during the day that he wanted his people to come and help.
So I immediately went up and told the people that everyone came to do it immediately while it was still a little light. Some people even went to get the torch. It seemed that they planned to work all night at night.
Sure enough, what Pei Yuanhao has ordered is different.
The man who led the head to work said, "If this is the case, you will be able to dig it out at this time tomorrow."
When I heard this, I said happily, "It's great."
On the contrary, Tierong held the lantern and looked forward: "Then, do you still need me to help?"
I don’t have much contact with her, but I feel that this girl has no intention at all and only works with her heart. Maybe she is not very smart, but she is a person who can reassure her. So she also has a good impression of her, so she smiled and patted her shoulder: "Don’t worry about them."
Tierong said: "But, if something big happened in the village, I can't help at all--"
As he said that, his mouth pouted.
At this moment, a stone was dug up there, and a huge stone on it was about to collapse. Everyone hurriedly carried the wooden stake below to push the stone back. When Tierong saw it, she immediately stuffed the lantern into my hand: "Miss, I'm going to help."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After saying that, he ran over and ran over.
I was anxious to call her back, but the loud shouts of the workers immediately covered my voice, and Tierong immediately ran in and joined them. However, perhaps because of the large number of people and the powerful, the huge rock that was about to collapse was quickly pushed back by them and fell into a relatively stable place again.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
I also breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from my forehead. Several middle-aged people touched Tierong's head and praised her for being able. Tierong himself was very happy and continued to run over to help. I stood beside me and no one paid attention to me, but when I saw her happy face flushed, I couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, footsteps came from behind. When I turned around, I saw that it was Pei Yuanhao who came over with Wenhu and Wenbao.
Because of his settlement, he put on a very ordinary black long suit, but when he was wearing it, he was wearing a bee-waisted and ape-like back, and his body was elegant. From the distance of this road, you can see some big girls and wives in the village looking at him from afar.
This man is a very attractive existence no matter how long he is.
He walked to me, looked at the scene ahead, and said, "It's this?"
"Yes."
"I just heard them say it will take another day to dig through?"
"You can enter the mountain at this time tomorrow. It is not easy to get such a fast speed. In fact, it is very dangerous to dig this road. If you don't pay attention, you will suffer casualties."
As he was talking, another stone rolled down in front of him. Fortunately, everyone dodged in time and no one was injured.
Pei Yuanhao looked at it and did not blame him any more. He just turned around and said to Wenhu: "Let them be careful."
"yes."
We stood by and watched for a while. The dust became heavier and heavier the more we reached the back. I felt a little uncomfortable. He reached out and patted me on the back, and then said, "Forget it, stop looking, go back first."
I thought about it and wanted to go over and call Tierong back, but she was still helping inside and refused to leave at all. I could only walk back with Pei Yuanhao alone, carrying the lantern.
There were bright lights behind me and the shouts of workers. We were running against each other and walked slowly to a very quiet place. The lights were not bright. He asked the people who were accompanying me to follow me from afar, so only the faint light emitted by the lantern in my hand illuminated the road ahead.
While walking, he suddenly stretched out his hand and took away the lantern in my hand.
I suddenly raised my head and realized that I was in a daze. The thing was taken away so easily. He didn't look at me. He just held the lantern and looked at the road ahead, and smiled and said, "Don't look like you have nothing, you just took away one of your things."
“…”
Seeing me turning to look at the lantern in a daze, he looked at me again and smiled, "What I said is the ring."
“…”
This incident was like a big rock pressing on my heart. If it didn't move, it would be the rocks blocking this road. It seemed that they didn't feel anything, but when it moved, it would make people breathless.
Pei Yuanhao said seriously: "Actually, I was very happy when I heard this news."
"What?"
"If he really asks you to get back what he has given you."
“…”
"If this thing is really his promise to you, I'm very happy."
My face became even heavier. I turned my head and looked at the swaying lantern.
But he looked at me and said, "But after a while, I can't be happy."
I didn't ask him why, because he was not in the mood to speak, and he said slowly: "Because, although I hope to chase you back, if it was just because he wanted to leave you, you wouldn't be by my side."
“…”
"If he is really such a person-"
