I have passed by several times and I am no longer unfamiliar with this sound, but when I lifted the curtain, I still didn't see the rushing river water, because the steep mountains in front of me blocked my view.

Although it was raining, you could still see the setting sun in the distance. Most of the sunlight was blocked, and the mountains were covered with a golden outline, making people feel particularly magnificent. I just took a look and couldn't bear to take my eyes away and kept lifting the curtain to look outside.

Although the scenery is beautiful, there is no people around you. Because the road was difficult to travel on rainy days before, we were slower than we expected, half a day later. If we don’t speed up the journey, we will not be able to find a place to rest tonight, so the rush to speed up the speed and let the horse run.

The sound of horse hooves echoed in the rain, and the carriage was bumping violently.

Finally, when it was completely dark, we finally heard the sound of some people moving.

When I lifted the curtain and saw that I finally arrived at the dock at Sanjiangkou.

I had been in the car before, and there were thick mattresses on the thick boards. Susu had been preparing a small stove for me with hand warmers, so I didn't feel cold. But now when I got off the car, I felt a chill coming, which made me tremble in an instant.

Looking back, it seems that I came here in such a weather.

I had already experienced the coldness of Shu when I was a child, but this was the first time Pei Yuanhao had experienced it. His whole face turned blue due to the cold. When he got off the carriage, his legs were cold. He staggered for a moment before he stood firm, which scared everyone around him.

I looked up at the surroundings.

I haven't seen each other for a few years, but it's still the same. Because it's late, there are no people on the pier, and there are not many lamps left in the village next to me. If you carefully identify it, you can still see that the scenery of the pavilions I have seen is no different from what I remember.

The people here are living too leisurely and too peaceful. In a few decades, there will be no changes except for the older ones.

I really hope there will never be any changes here.

Everyone got off the carriage, sorted it out for a while, and I took them to an inn.

It was the one we lived in back then.

The town looks deserted, and even this inn is also the same. When I walked in, I found that it was extremely quiet. It seemed that there was no guest. There were many people coming here. The boss came out to greet us in person and welcomed us into the lobby.

I still recognized him, and he stood beside him nodded and looked at me twice.

I smiled and said, "Boss, long time no see."

He immediately said, "Oh, I thought I was dazzled. It turned out that it was really you, Madam."

Pei Yuanhao glanced at me and said, "We have lived here before."

"Yes, yes," the boss was very enthusiastic and took us to the spacious seat in the center of the lobby. He quickly asked the waiter to cook water and make tea to prepare for food, and then said, "It's all a few years ago. Is this time a madam - come back to do business?"

I smiled and said, "Yes."

He looked at Pei Yuanhao next to me again, looking at his silence. Obviously, he recognized that the people around me were not from the past, but he didn't ask much. I asked him to prepare all the rooms. After all, we brought a lot of people, and we also had to prepare to watch our horses in the trough room. Suddenly, this quiet inn was in a mess.

After a long time, we were finally settled down.

Because it was getting late and I couldn't make anything, so I just let them heat up a little pastry to bring it up. The boss personally brought a plate of rice cakes that had just been steamed and had a sweet fragrance to the table, and smiled and said, "The mountain residence is simple, I hope the guests will not be surprised."

We sat in the middle of the lobby, Pei Yuanhao looked up at the surroundings, and then said, "You don't have any guests here?"

The boss stood aside with his hands in his sleeves, sighed and said, "Isn't it? There is no customer these days, and this store is almost impossible to open."

"Oh? Is that difficult?"

"Hey, ours is pretty good. There are no customers in the store. We can still do some brunch business. Those fishing people are miserable. They can't get into the water and even the food is almost gone."

"Why?"

"What else can I do? The world is in chaos. I heard that there are stockholders coming to this place in the east. Everyone is still discussing whether to leave here so as not to cause chaos."

It seems that even they know that Jiangling has gathered heavy troops and is preparing to attack Xichuan.

I took a sip of tea: "Then why don't you leave?"

"Let's go, how to go? I've been here for most of my life, where can I go?"

"Are you really not afraid of war to come here?"

The boss hesitated and said, "It probably won't be?"

Pei Yuanhao and I looked at each other, but nothing happened. He waved his hand and asked them to go down. We sat down and drank and went upstairs to rest.

When they all retreated, Pei Yuanhao said: "It seems that the people here are still illusions about the situation."

I was silent for a while before saying, "Xichuan hasn't fought a war in so many years, so of course they have fantasies."

"Then do you think their fantasy will come true?"

“…”

I hesitated for a moment and said, "No matter whether it can come true or not, people always have to have some fantasy."

“…”

"Maybe it will come true that day."

After saying that, I picked up the rice cake and took a bite. After all, I was still hungry. The sweet fragrance of rice made me hungry. After this bite, I felt a little more comfortable.

Looking at me, Pei Yuanhao also ate a piece of rice cake, and then looked at me: "Listen to the boss's tone, have you been here before?"

"Um."

"when?"

"years ago."

"years ago?"

Seeing him breaking the casserole and asking the end, I glanced at him and said, "It was before going to sea, we went back to Xichuan. Later, we left here and returned to Jinling, and took a boat back from Sanjiangkou."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! He raised his eyebrows: "Oh."

He would not know about our trip, after all, Wu Yanqiu was sent by him shortly after we arrived in Xichuan.

He said with a smile: "He took advantage of that time to get on the line with a lot of people in Xichuan, right?"

This sentence was so ironic to my ears. I glanced at him and said lightly: "He didn't come early."

“…”

"Yang Yunhui is earlier than him."

Hearing this, he didn't say anything. The two of them ate some food quietly and returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Su Su quickly cleaned up the room and smoked the bed warmly for me. But when she looked back, I was still sitting by the bed, looking at the rainy night outside, and in fact, she could only see some faint outlines not far from the window. If she was a little further away, she couldn't even see the mountain.

However, the sound of Jiang Liu is clearly audible.

Su Su walked over and said, "Miss, aren't you resting yet?"

I smiled faintly: "I have been staying in the car these two days, and I have been sleeping too much and can't sleep a little."

"Then I'll take some hot water to soak your feet and you'll fall asleep."

"OK."

After she left, the room became completely quiet.

I didn't mean to send her away, but some things seemed to be able to be found out from my mind when there was no one else around me.

What I said to Pei Yuanhao just now is of course because I refuse to show weakness and almost get angry, but in fact, when it comes to Yang Yunhui, things are not that simple.

I still remember that in Jiange, Yang Jin also told me aside before leaving, the letter Yang Yunhui sent to her back then.

When I passed by here before, I didn’t know that there was that letter. After reading that letter, now when I got here, some things seemed to appear in the fog.

After staying in the room for a while, I felt a little frustrated, so I put on a piece of clothing and walked out and walked two steps in the corridor. Originally, there were no other guests in this inn, and all of us were resting, so it was very quiet, but after walking two steps, I heard footsteps coming from the other side.

I asked, "Who?"

The people there, like me, did not carry lanterns and candlesticks, but when he walked over, he saw that it was Chabixing.

I smiled and said, "Why are you still not sleeping so late?"

He shook his head.

"Did you sleep too much in the carriage before and can't sleep now?"

"I can't sleep too, but," he looked back at his room over there, and said, "My father is still talking to the emperor, so of course I can't sleep."

"oh?"

I didn't expect that Pei Yuanhao was so energetic.

"Did they drive you out?"

"It's mysterious and not allowed to outsiders to listen."

I smiled faintly.

In fact, these things are just a look. They have reached this point, and there is nothing to hide. Of course, I know what the abacus Pei Yuanhao made when he went to Taihe this time. Although he seemed to be back empty-handed, I knew very well that even if he met a Chalin, he would have picked up a treasure.

Chabixing looked at me for a while and said, "I thought this matter--, I thought the eldest lady would stop him."

It seems that he is not stupid either. Even if we don’t tell him, he can guess what Pei Yuanhao thinks.

I thought about it and said, "Because there are some things I haven't figured out yet."

"Oh? Where is Senior Brother Liu? Didn't he figure it out?"

"He... had figured it out and tried to convince me, but I might need some time."

Chabixing nodded gently.

I looked around again, there was no light at all, and it was too late, so I said, "If they still want to talk, you can go find a store to prepare a room for you, and you can't sleep."

He nodded, and I turned around and was about to go back to the room, but I saw him standing there motionless.

"What's wrong?" I asked.
