"But if we deny the existence of this thing just based on our own likes and dislikes, is it also denying God's will?"
“…”
I looked into his eyes, and after a while, I whispered: "What do you think my mother is doing?"
He was silent for a moment, looked down at the two pictures of the universe, and then slowly said: "If Mrs. Yan really just completely denied the Flang machine cannon, she should have destroyed these things, instead of hiding them hard, and even deliberately left such drawings to attract people to search for them."
“…”
"She hides her mind, but I think--she doesn't want to deny this kind of thing by hiding these cannons."
I couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The thoughts that were still in chaos just now gradually became clear under his clear words. Only then did I understand why my mother's behavior seemed so contradictory.
Maybe at the beginning, she felt the same as me, but later on, she should have known Fu Badai and Qinghan, so she did such a move. But what she didn't expect was that her small action that year would cause a stir in the future.
It even made me die several times.
Seeing the sad face on my face, Qinghan said softly: "Of course, this is just my thoughts and my guess. I don't know what Mrs. Yan was thinking, just--"
I raised my hand and stopped him from continuing.
I said, "Qinghan, I want to go and see what's going on in this place."
“…”
"Since childhood, my mother has taken me to Sanjiang Dam countless times. I have never thought that there would be something in that place that has attracted so many people to pursue and so many people die, even your father--"
Speaking of this, Qinghan's face also darkened.
He whispered: "Yes, I want to know what's there too. Is there really a Florian cannon?"
I looked at him: "What would you do if there was any?"
“…”
He looked into my eyes, but there was no answer for a while.
The two of them were like people eager to find their hometown. When they finally found their hometown after so many dark and bright lights, they felt a sense of timidity.
What would we do if we really face such a fierce murderous weapon?
What I haven't forgotten is that there is also Pei Yuanhao in Tiejia Village.
Outside Xichuan, there is also Pei Yuanxiu.
Their eyes were obviously staring at this.
Now that the war is in full swing, wars are already flying everywhere in the Central Plains, and corpses are everywhere. In this case, if that kind of weapon is really born, is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Who can judge?
Qinghan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "If the teacher is still there, maybe I can ask him, but - I, I may not be able to answer this question."
He looked up at me: "Neither of us can."
I hesitated, "Then, should we go?"
He thought for a while and said, "But I think Mrs. Yan might leave the answer to us."
"My mother?"
"Yes, I always feel that she should have her own arrangements for this matter, just like these two pictures of the universe. Although it looks messy, just like what we think now, in the end, she gave a complete point. Maybe in the end, the person who solved the problem will be her."
“…”
I was silent for a while, and looked at him and said, "Why do I think you have more confidence in her than I do?"
He said, "Because you were shaken."
“…”
"Although I don't know what happened to you here, I think some things you see in front of you, such as her picture, and maybe other things, make you doubt her memory, so your perception of her has also shaken."
“…”
"It's not that you don't believe her, but that you can't believe it."
I looked into his eyes and said, "Then do you believe her so much because some of her views may be inconsistent with some of your ideas?"
He nodded: "Maybe it."
“…”
"Although the court has never allowed officials to form cliques for personal gain, people in it always get closer to people who have the same knowledge as them. This is also a natural thing. Now, I think I am very close to Mrs. Yan."
“…”
"So, I want to go to Sanjiang Dam to check it out."
"Actually, even if I don't have this picture this time, I want to go to Sanjiang Dam to see it. I have a lot of doubts in my heart to get answers."
"Is that true?"
"Well," I nodded: "You're right just now. When I came here, some things happened, which I had never thought of before, and these things were all closely related to my mother."
As I said that, I told Qinghan about how Pei Yuanhao and I entered the deep mountains a few days ago, how we met Chabixing and Chalin, and how we met those Taoist priests of Cong Yunguan and their origins. After hearing this, he asked first: "Did you go in with him?"
"He has arrived here, Qingchen allowed it, and I can't stop him."
“…”
He glanced at me, said nothing, and was silent for a moment before saying, "Why were those Taoist priests chased? Is there no record of this matter in the palace?"
"If there is any, I'm afraid it will be destroyed. Emperor Gao is a man who is very decisive and bold in his work. He will not leave any handle for the world to seize. If it weren't for the Supreme Emperor, it would be hard for me to imagine that my mother would survive in his hands."
Qinghan said, "But I always feel that those Taoist priests should have hidden some truth."
"oh?"
"What I said is not that they deliberately concealed it, but that there are some things that they may be used to, so they do not think it is rare, but perhaps it is useful to us."

"I think you might as well ask them again."
His words make sense.
Just like my mother once did something nun, many people around me were used to it and thought it was something as natural as sunshine and rain. No one deliberately told me, so that I only heard his first reminder after so many years when I went to sea and met the Iron-Face King.
I nodded and said, "It's reasonable, then we--"
"Find some time to find them."
"But it's too late today."
"Then go tomorrow, and I will go with you tomorrow."
"good!"
I nodded and looked at him again: "Then, aren't you going to do anything to Queen Yin and the others?"
It was not until this time that Qinghan's face showed a hesitant look again.
Even a little bit of pain.
I think he must have put all his energy on that picture and this matter just now, or it may be that he wanted to use these things to forget about Empress Yin, but when I asked, the almost cruel fact was once again placed in front of him.
I said, "What did you think?"
“…”
He was silent for a while before saying, "I don't want to think about it now."
“…”
"Qingying, I can't be impulsive. Although I have always thought about taking revenge, I'm going to her-" he gritted his teeth and said in the end: "I can't lie to myself, let alone lie to you. I can't do it."
“…”
"Even Mr. Yao, I'm—"
Looking at his red eyes, I didn't say anything, but just reached out and gently stroked his hand.
I can understand his mood at this moment, and his deep hatred, but I face a crazy woman who once spent day and night, shouted at myself and her son one by one, and a person who had been doing his best to detoxify him. Even I can't do it.
When he was able to temporarily put Mo Tieyi and turn to deal with Tie Yushan's affairs, he had already withdrawn from the anger of hatred and did not stubbornly ask for blood debts and repayments. Perhaps what I should be more grateful for is that this period of separation gave him enough time to calm down before he could face the current problems rationally.
I said, "I understand how you feel now."
He looked up at me bitterly: "You may not understand."
He wanted to take revenge and seek justice for his unjustly death, but in the end he found that everything seemed to be futile. The two people he faced were the two people he was the ones he could not do the most.
I can probably understand that kind of contradiction, but he is right. The torment brought by real hatred is not something that can be truly empathized by just saying "I understand".
But I still held his hand tightly and said softly: "No matter what decision you make, I will be by your side."
He looked up at me, and finally a faint smile appeared in his solemn eyes.

Early the next morning, I got up early and told everyone to prepare to enter the mountain.
Su Su knew about this and got up very early to prepare breakfast for us. I asked Du Yan to go over and call Qinghan, but when he came back, he said that Pei Yuanhao came to find Qinghan early in the morning. The two of them seemed to be saying something, and they had already walked outside the village.
When I heard this, I frowned.
Pei Yuanhao has never appeared since Qinghan came back. Although Chabixing also said that he had passed by outside once, how much he knew and how much he guessed, I had never thought about it at all, but now I think about it last night that we asked Ye Yunshuang for a translucent gauze to come back, and he could not have been completely unconscious.
So I was called out early this morning, and I was afraid it was not just a chat.
It has reached this point, and with Qinghan's words last night, I can actually understand what he wants in my heart, and I can't even accept it at all. But when facing him, I think we should not be too honest.
