I said word by word: "What is the origin of the Pei family? Why did they go south?"

The Iron Cavalry King did not answer me immediately, but looked at my eyes and said, "Ms. Yan just talked about the Longxi Army, and now he asked the Pei family's origin... Are you hinting at me about something?"

I said lightly: "I didn't hint you anything."

“…”

"If I want to hint, at least I have figured out some things myself. But now, I really want to find an answer from the King."

“…”

"What is the origin of the Pei family?"

The Iron Cavalry King was silent for a while, his brows frowned slightly. He was really thinking about it. I didn't urge him, but just looked at him calmly. After the two of them were quiet for a while, I heard him say slowly: "The origin of the Pei family is no longer clear to our generation."

"They showed up on the grassland very early?"

"Yes. At least, in my grandfather's generation, the Pei family members have gradually begun to create their own power."

"You say they are starting to slowly create their own power, which means-"

"Of course it's annexing other tribes."

Speaking of this, the Iron Cavalry King was very calm: "The grassland is very vast and can survive anywhere, but the cattle and sheep and population are limited. To expand one's own power, one naturally needs more people and raise more cattle and sheep. The fastest way is of course to annex other tribes."

"The Pei family members have swallowed many other tribes?"

"Yes, I heard from my grandfather that no one noticed them when they first appeared, and I didn't even know when they formed a small group of people."

“…”

"Even if that's the case, no one has noticed them. There are too many such people on the grassland, and they often don't exist for a long time. They are fleeting like meteors, either annexed or destroyed. But the Pei family's people are different. They have always existed and slowly gathered their own power."

“…”

"In just a few decades, they were from no one knowing it at the beginning to forming a powerful tribe, almost like our eight heavenly kings."

"Then why didn't they become one of the Eight Heavenly Kings?"

“…”

The Iron Cavalry King calmed down again, as if he was thinking about it again, but this time, he didn't think about it that long, and slowly said: "Sometimes, there are only one result in things, but there are many reasons."

“…”

"Maybe, no one except those in this matter knows the real reason."

“…”

"If I want to see you, maybe the people of the Pei family don't want to be the Eight Heavenly Kings, or in other words, they never see the grasslands with their eyes."

My voice was trembling slightly: "Where are their eyes looking at?"

The Iron Cavalry King looked at me and said, "Where you see, where you see your body."

“…”

"Where they are now, they will see where they are."

"So," as I spoke, my throat was slightly quacked, and I swallowed hard, and then said again: "What they have been watching are the Central Plains?"

The Iron Cavalry King looked at me and didn't say anything.

Of course it is the Central Plains.

From ancient times to the present, although the northern nations have always been a sword hanging above their heads by the Central Plains dynasty, the most they did was to invade and plunder the wealth. For thousands of years, very few of them could truly go south to occupy the Central Plains.

But the Pei family did it.

At this time, I felt that I was really hurting my body. Because my breathing became so heavy, it made me feel a little dark. I could only reach out to support the head of the bed to force myself to not fall down, but there was a rumbling sound in my mind, as if something was about to burst out from it.

I don't know how long it took me to hear the sound of the Iron Cavalry King in the rumbling sound-

"Miss Yan...Miss Yan?"

I raised my head and saw that he had walked in front of me. I looked down at me, frowned slightly, "Are you okay?"

“…”

"Your face is very pale. Do you want me to call the doctor over to you?"

I shook my head quickly and said, "No need."

Although it was my own voice, it sounded a little strange, as if it was coming from my own bones, buzzing in my ears.

The Iron Cavalry King didn't force himself, he just looked down at me.

After a while, he said, "Miss Yan, you just said you wanted to figure out something. Now, have you figured it out?"

I looked up at him and said, "Things of the world are impermanent."

I didn't know why I said this incoherently. The Iron Cavalry King was stunned for a moment, but after a moment of silence, he nodded softly and said, "Yes, things in the world are impermanent."

“…”

"It seems that you still have some things to do, so I won't bother you."

“…”

"Get a good rest."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

I could feel that the Iron Cavalry King left me some time and space so that I could sort out my thoughts well, at least, let me really figure out some things, but when he left, he lifted the tent, and the sun shone in, shaking my eyes, and in an instant, he felt the illusion that he was hit hard.

I almost fell to the head of the bed.

This feeling of at a loss lasted for a long time. It took me a lot of time before I finally found my mind and strength. The first thing I did was to reach out and touch it around.

After being rescued by them, the bag I brought with me was also placed at the head of the bed.

After exploring for a long time, I finally felt it and dragged it into my arms. I thought for a long time before using my hand that had accumulated some strength to tremble and untied my burden.

Inside is a crimson dress.

Red as blood.

The first time I saw such a dress was in Fengxiang City, at Dad Hu’s house, the crimson-red dress on the shelf was lined with exquisite chain mail, which gave people the feeling of blood. Now, the same dress was placed in front of me, which seemed to dye my eyes red.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is what Pei Yuanhao gave to me before leaving.

He asked me to open it when I arrived at the ghost town, but at that time, because I met Yu Wenying and the eyes of the Qianjun Formation, Bagen showed up with people. So many things happened that left me with no chance, and I almost forgot about the existence of this thing.

It was not until later when I entered Wuwei and chose whether to go back or continue to rush to Shengjing that I remembered this baggage. When I opened it, I saw this dress.

At that time, I actually understood.

I just couldn't believe it.

Crimson clothes, precision chain mail.

The Longxi Army, which was destroyed overnight, went south to occupy the Pei clan in the Central Plains.

Crimson clothes...

The Pei clan...

I didn't understand and believe it until today.

It turns out that they are—

"mother!"

Just as a tear was almost filling my eyes, a voice from outside suddenly came from the outside, the tent was lifted up, and the sun and sun broke into the tent with her.

I hurriedly raised my head and reached out to wipe away the tears that were condensed on my eyelashes.

Miaoyan originally ran in with a smile, but when she saw me like this, she immediately stopped at the door: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you crying?"

"No, no."

I gently wiped the corners of my eyes with my sleeves, then raised my head and smiled: "Mom didn't cry."

"Then why are you, why are your eyes so red?"

She walked up to me and looked closer to me in the eyes: "You are really crying? Why are you crying? Is something bad happened?"

“…”

I looked at her, and after all, I couldn't suppress the sadness in my heart, and couldn't say more. I even made my eyes red again. Miaoyan looked at me and looked at my arms again: "This baggage - it was brought by my mother, what's wrong with this red dress?"

“…”

"Mom, what's wrong?"

“…”

"Is there anything wrong with this dress?"

I looked at her for a while and reached out to her, "Come on, Miaoyan, come to my side."

She was obedient, hurriedly walked over and knelt beside me, lay on my knees, gently stroked the clothes with one hand, and said, "This clothes look so old, who gave them to you?"

"It was given to me by your father."
