The loud noise made the earth tremble. I caught me off guard and widened my eyes, but I could not see anything.

Only the sound of the wind outside suddenly became noisy, and the horses who were still in the camp were terrified and the screams of some people made this night, which was not very peaceful, burst into flames.

What's going on?

What was that sound just now?

I looked at Pei Yuanhao in a panic, but he was extremely quiet, and he didn't even breathe a little. He just said calmly when I was nervous, "You don't have to be afraid."

“…”

"It's just starting to fight."

“…”

"I'm here."

The war has begun...?

I hesitated for a while and then I understood a little.

The war began. The people he sent out before should have met the teams that were coming to encircle our tribe tonight and fought fiercely. The earth-shaking loud noise just now should be-

I took a deep breath to calm myself down.

In fact, I had known that this day would come so quickly, and it really caught me off guard.

Pei Yuanhao seemed to be looking at me, and as my expression slowly calmed down, he said, "Actually, you should have a good rest tonight. Your face has not been good these days, but - no one should be able to sleep tonight."

“…”

So, he was still staying in my tent so late, and it turned out that he came to accompany me specifically.

He was worried that I was afraid.

Actually, I don’t have anything to be afraid of now. It should be said that there is really nothing that cannot be lost. Even if this battle is really unsuccessful, even if it is really captured by the army of those tribes or the troops of Shengjing, I actually feel that there is nothing to be scary.

People are not afraid of death, so why do they fear it by death?

The only thing that made me sigh was probably that I really couldn't replace those people and see what they wanted to see.

Pei Yuanhao looked at me for a while and said, "You don't have to be afraid."

I said lightly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm not really hurt-"

Before he finished speaking, there was another loud bang.

And then, loud noises came one after another from the snow field, as if a series of thunders were hit by the gods in anger. I felt the whole earth tremble, and the wind outside became even more violent.

I couldn't help but frown.

Of course, I am not those daughters who will jump on the table when they see mice, nor will I be scared to death by such loud noises, but it is true that I am not in good health. This shocked the entire snow field and trembled loudly one after another, which inevitably made people's heartbeat a little aggravated, and even tightened.

Pei Yuanhao said, "I will be with you."

“…”

"Because I don't know what the outcome will be if this battle ends."

“…”

"But I will stay with you here and wait for this result."

Is he going to stay in my tent?

I said, "Actually, your Majesty doesn't have to worry so much."

“…”

Feeling his gaze calmer in the earth-shaking loud noises. After a while, he said, "Actually, I have a lot to say to you."

“…”

"I always feel that after this time, I'm afraid there will be few opportunities to say."

“…”

"Because, you don't want to listen at all."

“…”

"Is it right?"

The tent was quiet for a moment, but it was broken by a earth-shaking loud noise, as if even the tent above the head was shaking, and the snow on the top kept flying down.

I said, "Yes."

I just said that I didn’t speak like this in front of him before because I was not tired of living yet, but now in this way, everyone can see that I am “digested by living”, and Pei Yuanhao didn’t speak anymore, just looked at me.

Even if I couldn't see it, his gaze and the aura emitted by him still made me feel very depressed. I stood up on the edge of the bed and groped out.

He hurriedly got up and followed me: "Where are you going?"

"It's too stuffy in the tent, I want to go out and have some breath."

“It will be very cold outside.”

"I only stand at the door one."

After saying that, I had already fumbled to the door and lifted the tent by myself. A bitter cold wind swept with snow foam, and suddenly came, really making me stagger.

Fortunately, I was still leaning on a crutch in my hand, and I supported myself hard, listening to the louder and louder sound of artillery fire in the distance, and occasionally, I could hear the screams of people and the shrill long neigh of horses. I don’t know if it was my own illusion. After all, according to the sound of artillery fire, the battlefield should be very far away from here.

Maybe, it's just my illusion.

There was a lot of snow on the roof of the tent these days, and it was shaken to pieces at this time, and my face became colder.

In the sky, there may be more snow foam flying.

I was just carrying it in the tent and my palms were sweating. At this time, I couldn't help but reach out in the air. Many fine snowflakes fell on my palms, bringing a cool feeling.

Pei Yuanhao, who had been standing quietly behind me, suddenly said at this time: "The first time I just said, do you know which time it was?"

“…”

I didn't expect that he actually wanted to continue this topic.

Just when I was silent, his voice seemed a little hoarse and low. If he was not careful, he was swallowed by the wind - "It was the night you were in the Imperial Garden."

“…”

I was in a daze, and a ball of snow fell to my eyebrows, and the chill made me feel a little more awake.

I remembered it.

I once found a recipe for fragrance in an ancient book in the Inner Pavilion. I tried it out. At night, I secretly went to the Imperial Garden to experiment alone. Sure enough, it attracted many fireflies.

Of course, at that time, all my mind was on the incense and fireflies, but I didn’t expect that someone would see all this behind me.

Pei Yuanhao said: "Do you still remember the fragrant formula?"

I was silent for a while and said, "I forgot for a long time."

“…”

"At that time, I was still young and brave, everything was fresh and I wanted to try everything."

“…”

"But no longer now. I'm at this age and I will never spend time on that flashy thing again." As I said, I retracted my fingertips that were blown by the cold wind for only a moment, put them in my sleeves, then turned my head toward Pei Yuanhao, and said, "At my age, I actually want to consider some more practical issues."

He was somewhat disappointed and interrupted in his tone, but he said patiently to me: "What?"

"For example, how did Your Majesty make such a dangerous weapon reappear on the earth."

I could feel his breathing stagnation for a moment, as if I was "stopped" by me, but I also knew it was impossible. When he transported these things from Longnan to here and decided to exchange the battlefield with the Iron Cavalry King, he had already known that I would know all of this.

He couldn't be really stopped by me.

Of course he will have some basic explanations.

He asked without answering a question: "Although you were shocked by the sound just now, it seems that you were just shocked, not surprised by the appearance of such a weapon. You seem to have known that this day will come, right?"

I nodded calmly.

“When did you know?”

I looked at the snowy weather outside in a daze. Perhaps because the cold wind was too strong, he pulled my arm and pulled me back into the tent. The wind was blocked by the falling tent. The dull feeling made my heart move.

I said, "Longnan City."

"Um?"

I groped and returned to the bed to sit down, and then said, "I took down Zhao Yuncheng of Huai'an and Yangzhou City with Lord Wen Fengxi. He was a member of Qinghan's men. He also fought a war under Tu Shuhan. The two brothers followed Tu Shuhan together. Later, the eldest brother died in battle. He wanted to go home to fulfill his filial piety, so he returned to Jixiang Village. At that time - I left Jinling with Miaoyan and returned to Jixiang Village, so I met him. He talked to me about Tu Shuhan. He said that this man had a good fight, but he was just doing things, sneaky."

“…”

"Later, Nian Baoyu had a great battle. Qinghan and I entered Longnan City and borrowed troops from Tu Shuhan. We found that he was a very open-minded person, not as Zhao Yuncheng said - sneaky."

“…”

"But that night, we found that half of Longnan City was empty."

“…”

"And he drove us out of Longnan City in order to avoid us from getting more in contact with the half-empty city."

I looked up at him: "At that time, you have already started to copy those weapons, right?"

He was silent and didn't say anything.

I said, "You handed this matter over to Tu Shuhan. He is a bold and meticulous person. Although he looks rude, he is fine."

“…”

"However, judging from the subsequent wars, this matter did not go smoothly, right?"

He finally said, "Yes."

“…”

"Although I know there is such a weapon, I have sent a large number of people to do this, but I have never done it."

I said lightly: "My mother told the Iron-faced King to go to sea to reach the country of Folangji, destroying everything about Folangji artillery, drawings, and even those involved in the design. In the decades after that, it will be very difficult for them to create such a weapon again."

“…”

"It's not easy for you to achieve this point in more than ten years."

“…”

"At least, when I saw Pei Yuanxiu attacking the capital, there was a huge hole on the ground, burned to black. It should be your first experiment, right?"

I looked at him and said, "From nothing to the appearance of that big hole, it's so fast."

He looked at me for a while and said, "Then, do you know why there is such a speed?"

I shook my head.
