"I wonder if the ship prepared by the prince is big enough?"

I felt Ao Zhi stop for a moment, and then said, "It depends on what you do with the boat."

I was silent for a moment, and before I could speak, he continued, "However, when I came to the capital, I brought a lot of people and supplies, using large ships, and a fleet of ships."

I nodded gently: "That's enough."

After saying this, he and I became quiet.

The two of them were silent for a while, and then Ao Zhi said, "I have something to do now, so I'll say goodbye first."

I smiled and said, "Prince, please."

He slowly walked away.

And I was still standing there, listening to his footsteps gradually fading away, Qiu'er and Lu'er urged me: "Miss Yan, are we going back? You have been out for so long, and it's still cold outside."

I nodded and asked them to help me back to the room.

Next, nothing happened. The entire Yuwen Mansion was still so quiet that it could even hear the sound of the wind blowing through the dead wood branches. I sat quietly in the room alone, feeling the passage of time bit by bit, and soon, it was night.

Then, the sound of a person's footsteps came from a distance and walked to the door.

Of course I knew it was Pei Yuanxiu. In fact, he was the only one who would come to my room at this time. However, when he walked to the door, he did not push the door open immediately, but stood at the door.

Then, there was a long period of silence.

I sat in the room for a while and felt the silence. Then I got up and slowly walked around the huge screen, walked to the door, and opened the door with both hands.

The cold wind immediately poured into this warm room.

At the same time, I also felt that he was standing at the door, and the breath he emitted was almost the same as the cold wind.

Actually, after opening the door, I was a little hesitant, not sure whether to let him in or what to do. Instead, he stood quietly at the door, looked at me for a while, and suddenly said, "I remember some things in the past."

I was a little confused: "What?"

"I remember that year, you followed him south to Yangzhou, and then rushed back to the capital on another snowy night."

“…”

"Then, the father asked you to stay by your side and serve."

“…”

"That night, I came to see you - so do you, come and open the door for me."

“…”

"After so many years, it's still the same."

I looked at him silently. After a long time, I slowly turned around and walked into the room, and said lightly: "People are no longer the same person as they were before."

He stood at the door, paused for a while, and slowly walked into the room.

The door was closed by him, and the cold wind was blocked outside, but the cold air on his body was still not dispersed, but it was colder than before.

I groped and sat down next to the bed. After a long time, I heard him say, "Are those memories for you now no longer worth mentioning?"

I thought about it and said, "Look at this room, as long as the doors and windows are closed, no one comes in again, and there is no dust to come in. No matter how dark it is outside, the room is still clean and the tables and chairs will not be broken - in fact, even if it is broken, no one will see it. Everyone will think that this room is still the same as before, with bright windows and clean windows."

“…”

"But once someone comes in, even if the person is not going to come in, he just opens the window and moves the door, and dust will come in."

“…”

"And the mottled and messy face here will be broad-minded."

“…”

"Actually, it's not great if you don't come in and don't open the doors and windows here?"

I heard his breath become heavier. After a long time, I said softly: "You have always been a protector."

“…”

"You protect a lot of people, a lot of things, a lot of things, and even a lot of memories."

“…”

"So, you also want to protect the capital, right?"

My eyes flashed slightly.

Even though I thought my expression had not changed, at this time, the sudden breath that I held was obviously exposed to my disordered mood. However, he was not surprised at all and said calmly: "So, please advise me to leave the capital."

As soon as he mentioned the capital, my breathing was suffocated.

The room suddenly became quiet, and my frivolous voice sounded in the quiet space-

"What's wrong with Beijing?"

He said calmly, word by word: "He has occupied the capital."

I used some strength and took a deep breath. My chest was indeed much more comfortable than before, and the big stone was finally moved away.

However, it seemed that some heavy things were left behind, weighing on my heart.

Pei Yuanxiu's voice was as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened. He looked at me and said, "As you wish, there is no war in the capital."

“…”

"No war, no smoke, no one died."

“…”

"The things you want to protect are left behind."

His voice was very calm, and he didn't hear any unwillingness or even anger from it, but I don't know if the doors and windows of this room were closed too tightly, and the dust could not come in, and even the air could not come in.

He was right.

The capital I want to protect is as I wish, without any damage.

Before on the grassland, I had already seen the ferocity of the Folang Machinery Cannon. Although I couldn't see it, the facts were in front of me. As long as Pei Yuanhao sent his troops out, he would be almost invincible.

This situation is of course the best for war alone.

However, for a city and for the people in the city, it is nothing short of a catastrophe.

In the palace of Shengjing, I have learned that the creatures will be devastated after a war. If the capital suffers such a baptism again, it will be difficult to recover in decades. The only way is to let Pei Yuanxiu withdraw from the capital, and Pei Yuanhao and others can occupy the capital with peaceful means.

He went back.

But this time, things are not simple.

On the way to Tianjin, Pei Yuanxiu had already destroyed all the roads. Even if they worked hard to repair the roads, it would take at least three or five days.

However, compared to Pei Yuanxiu, the time he gave him was only a few days.

What's more, Master Ye was still attacking fiercely outside Tianjin City. Although the city was strong, how long could he last without any reinforcements outside?
