I looked at him, my eyes flashing slightly - is this considered comfort?

He also met my eyes and said with a smile: "If he is really such a person, if you give up on me and give up everything for such a person, then I really won't feel happy."

“…”

I got it a little bit.

Some people say that when you look at a person, you have to look at the people around him. But my mother told me back then that you don’t have to look at his friends, you have to look at what kind of people his UI hands are. Because all kinds of people may become friends, but opponents - only people with equal strength may become opponents.

He doesn't want his opponent to be a despicable person, because that means he loses to a despicable person.

but--

I glanced at him and only smiled faintly.

I never thought it was a competition, and there was no winning or losing.

Life is a road for me. In the past, I thought I could walk it alone, but in fact, I could walk it alone; but with his company, I realized that when someone is around me, I would be more warm than walking alone. I hope to walk this road with him, that's all.

Perhaps he felt the loneliness in my smile, he was silent for a while and said, "But to be honest, I believe him too."

“…”

"He is not like this."

I lowered my head and kicked away a small stone under my feet. The stone rolled to the side of the road and fell down. I said, "I know."

The two of them didn't say anything anymore. When they returned to Tiejia Village, although the young and middle-aged people in the village had gone to dig the road, there were still many villagers, especially those big girls and young wives. And because there were so many strangers in the past two days, especially the tall and handsome Pei Yuanhao, they all came out to watch the fun and chatter, but they were not deserted at all.

Pei Yuanhao accompanied me to the village chief Tiezhen's home. Knowing that Tierong was staying there to help, Tiezhen shook his head helplessly, "This girl ran to make her life again, and she really didn't know how to cherish herself at all."

I said, "Don't worry, old man, I greeted everyone who works there and would take care of her and not let her do something too dangerous."

He nodded: "Thank you, Miss."

I looked over the bed again: "Mo Tieyi, how is he doing?"

"I haven't woken up yet."

"I didn't see you after changing the medicine?"

"The disease comes like a mountain of falling, and the ward is like a thread being drawn. What's more, he is not a disease, it's a fatal injury. Miss, this kind of thing is unhurried."

"Yeah, I get it."

After saying that, I was about to leave, but when I looked back, Pei Yuanhao sat at the table in the middle of the room. Tiezhen saw him sitting down, and still leaned on a cane to pour him a cup of tea. Pei Yuanhao looked up at him and nodded gently.

I asked, "Aren't you going back yet?"

He said, "I still have something to ask this village chief."

Tiezhen turned to look at Pei Yuanhao: "What is your Majesty the Emperor asking me?"

"I heard that you have the best iron ore here."

"Yes, Taihe's iron ore is the best."

"What about Qingmine?"

Tiezhen was slightly stunned. He probably thought that the iron ore the emperor was going to see should be the Yunzi Iron used to build weapons, but he didn't expect that Pei Yuanhao was asking about Qingmine. He thought about it and said, "Qingmine is not on our side, it is inside."

"Oh..." Pei Yuanhao raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a while, and then asked, "How many people here can forge green mines?"

"Only the old guy inside, and the apprentice he brought out."

"oh……"

He nodded.

I know that Pei Yuanhao asked Tiezhen these things in front of me, just to signal him not to hide them and to be open and honest, but these questions still made me feel a little uneasy.

However, I just sat next to me and didn't speak.

Pei Yuanhao picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "I have been here for so long, and I have finally had a cup of hot tea."

I glanced at him.

He looked at Tiezhen again and said, "Is there a lot of rain here?"

When Tiezhen mentioned this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Why aren't there too much? There's so much rain in our Shu area."

"I haven't seen any rain in the past few days."

“That’s because there has been no flood discharge recently.”

"When will the flood discharge be there in Sanjiang Dam?"

"There are so many times a year, and recently - I haven't seen any flood discharge."

"oh……"

I glanced at him again.

I may be more sensitive to the Sanjiang Dam than Qing Mine. From the four words left by Pei Ji before his death to the four words left by Zhao Shuyuan before his death, I also left these four words for Pei Ningyuan. The Sanjiang Dam is clearly something I know since I was a child, but now, it suddenly becomes in fog and becomes strange and unpredictable.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao asked Sanjiang Dam what he wanted to do?

However, this kind of doubt had just arisen in my heart. He picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then stood up and said to me, "It's getting late, let's go."

I looked up at him: "Ah?"

"I'm going back to rest. Where are you?"

"I, let's go, too."

Tiezhen sent us to the door. Pei Yuanhao walked in front. He had rich experience and had been to many places, but he probably had not stroll in such a village, especially this village. I don’t know if it was because the rocks contained iron ore. The moonlight shone in the mountain nest and reflected a faint light. The whole village seemed to be shrouded in a layer of silver-gray gauze.

Even his people.

He walked for a while and smiled, "The scenery is so good."

"Um."

"To be honest, I have been to so many places, but Nishikawa is indeed very beautiful."

“…”

“Difficulty.”

I walked behind him, thought for a while, and said, "Sometimes, the beautiful scenery is also very fragile."

He stopped and looked back at me. I said, "I like Jiangnan very much. The singing of warblers, green trees and red flowers, but in a war, there is nothing left. Just like this Tiejia Village, everyone is looking at it, but in fact, if anyone moves this mountain, the entire village will be destroyed."

“…”

"The same is true for Nishikawa."

He looked at me for a while and said, "Nikawa doesn't."

I looked at him, too: "Is this a promise?"

“…”

He did not answer me immediately, but thought for a while before saying, "Promise is easy to change, but what I can tell you is that if the world is bound to be implicated by war, then I will hope and want to do it even more, keep Xichuan as the last foreign land."

I said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He only smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes: "It's a pity that some people don't think so."

I looked at him.

"Pei Yuanxiu."

When I heard this name again, my heart suddenly felt an indescribable tingling, as if an invisible needle was pierced into my chest.

I took a deep breath and said, "What, he?"

Pei Yuanhao said: "I heard that there are heavy troops gathering in Jiangling."

"Gangling?"

"That's right."

"He, what do he want to do?"

"This is what I want to know."

My brows couldn't help but frown.

The biggest gap we are facing now is actually Jiangling, which controls Bashu in the west and connects Hunan and Yue in the south, is a very valuable strategic location. At that time, Zhao Yuncheng tried his best to take over this place, but unfortunately he failed in the end. After all, it is far from enough to face such a strong force, relying solely on his personal ability and strong desire.

Now, Pei Yuanxiu is seriously ill in Jiangling. What do he want to do?

Pei Yuanhao took a deep breath and said, "Although I don't know what he wants to do, if it were me, if the road in Tongguan would not be able to be made, I would also find a way in Jiangling."

There was a chill on my body: "You mean, he still wants to attack Nishikawa?"

Pei Yuanhao looked at me: "Now, I am in Xichuan, and Liu Qinghan is in Xichuan."

“…”

"You are also in Nishikawa."

“…”

"Do you think he wouldn't want to?"

“…”

I felt like a big stone was pressed on my chest, and even my breathing became heavier.

"And, according to some clues, he may have been thinking about you Xichuan for a long time. The reason why he has been tolerant of it may be that he is waiting for a blow to hit it."

“…”

"This time, the affairs of your academy and the things here may be just an introduction."

My brows were tightened.

Pei Yuanxiu... Of course I know that it is not so easy for him to let go. If the general trend has become such a situation today, not only can we not turn back, but he can't turn back.

But, what exactly does he want to do in Xichuan?

When I think of the threat that Xichuan might face, I feel extremely anxious. If Qinghan can be around at this time, it would be better to discuss it with him.

But—

I bit my lower lip and said in a deep voice: "But, Qinghan's soldiers and I have basically been sent to Yangzhou. Yuanfeng is guarding Jiange, so he can't move."

"I know that your Yan family's soldiers are all in northern Sichuan, and they can't draw more troops."

“…?”

I looked up at him, and Pei Yuanhao also looked at me, but didn't say anything, just smiled faintly and said, "Don't be so worried. I told you this, not to make you unable to sleep."

"But this matter-"

"I will find a way to do this. If I could see the old guy inside earlier, maybe I could think of my solution earlier."

I looked at him in surprise.

I used to think that he came here for Qingmine, and that "old guy" was also forging the situation. These should be all about the peace talks between Qingchen and him when he was in the Yan family, but now it seems that the situation is not that simple.
