Xu Yao was upset by Pei Shuo's smile and felt that she was asking this question unnecessarily and that she should trust Pei Shuo.

He was not a dissolute person in the past and it was impossible for him to have fun with women.

Thinking this way, I stopped worrying about it.

Instead, Pei Shuo told Xu Yao a piece of news: "The news from the capital says that the emperor is not doing well. If I want to take revenge, I must go to the capital, otherwise I am afraid I can't kill him with my own hands."

Pei Shuo's obsession was to kill the former third prince with his own hands.

In order to ascend to the throne, this crazy emperor had the blood of too many people on his hands, especially Pei Shuo's mother.

Pei Shuo's mother died tragically in front of him. It was a lifelong pain in his heart. He had to kill the dog emperor with his own hands to vent his anger.

Xu Yao nodded and agreed to go to the capital with him.

This is the most important moment in his life, and Xu Yao decides to accompany him through this journey.

Xu Yao turned around to pack her things, and Pei Shuo suddenly called her: "Master."

"what's up?"

“I actually have someone I like.”

Xu Yao was stunned for a moment, then surprised: "Really? What kind of girl is she? Is she good to you?"

Pei Shuo thought for a moment and said, "She is very good, but she doesn't know that I like her yet. I want to tell her after I have taken revenge. Master, do you think she will accept me?"

Xu Yao patted his shoulder and encouraged him: "Why are you asking such a stupid question, kid? She will naturally like you. Our Pei Shuo is tall and handsome, has great martial arts skills, and has good character. Which girl wouldn't like him? If your father and sister knew, they would definitely be happy for you."

Pei Shuo's eyes sparkled and his smile became even more charming because of her words: "Then Master will definitely accompany me, right?"

Xu Yao nodded, "This is a happy event, Master will naturally accompany you. When you get married, Master will definitely give you a big gift, but you can't let the girl down."

Pei Shuo nodded and said, "Of course not, I will give her the best in the world."

Xu Yao was sincerely happy for him, feeling as happy as if his son was getting married.

She wanted to ask what the girl looked like, but Pei Shuo had already turned around to pack his things. Xu Yao thought there was no need to rush, as they would definitely meet when the time came.

I'll buy gifts then.

This time, in order to make the journey easier, Xu Yao followed the caravan to the capital.

In order to conceal his identity, Pei Shuo naturally had to disguise himself, and so did Xu Yao.

Five years have passed, and she looks a little different from before, probably because she has grown up. Although there are still some shadows of her past on her face, Xu Yao feels that this face is much more beautiful than before.

She was raised in the mountains for another five years, and her skin became fair. After dressing up, she no longer looked like a little girl, but more like a grown-up woman.

Xu Yao likes himself now, free and happy.

For some reason, after meeting Pei Shuo, that feeling of having no desires or wants disappeared for the most part. Xu Yao even began to look forward to seeing Pei Shuo get married, wanted to meet his bride, and wanted to see him have his own children.

Xu Yao classified this feeling as the feeling of being a mother and the feeling of relatives. She was even happy that her relatives were going to get married and had happy events.

It seems that life has a new pursuit. This is what the Immortal of the South China Sea said, that family affection makes people feel concerned, so that their hearts will not be empty and hopeless, right?

Xu Yao couldn't explain it, but decided to follow her inner desire and accompany Pei Shuo until she found her life goal.

On the way, they encountered a robbery.

Pei Shuo brought his men to deal with all the killers, and came back saying that they were just ordinary robbers. Xu Yao did not ask any further questions.

They traveled for half a month and finally arrived in the capital before sunset.

In the evening in Beijing, there are still many people on the streets. There is no curfew in this city, so the hustle and bustle never stops.

Xu Yao looked at the people walking freely on the street, laughing and talking, it was very lively, and he couldn't help but think of the people fleeing on the way to Wanzhou City, the corpses all over the ground, and the graves one after another.

The old man said that the world is going to be in chaos. Will these people in front of us also fall into such chaos?

Xu Yao interrupted his thoughts immediately and stopped himself from thinking about it any further.

Thinking too much about things that are beyond your control, what else can you do except internal friction?

Xu Yao smelled a fragrance, Pei said, lifted the curtain and got into the carriage, and gave her an oil-paper bag.

Xu Yao smelled the aroma, it was the sesame seed buns from the fat boss's house in the past. Five years had passed, but when she tasted the same aroma, she still salivated.

"The taste of this restaurant hasn't changed at all. Is the boss still the fat guy?"

"Probably not, it seems to be his son. I heard that the fat boss is sick, and the eldest son has been in charge of the shop these days. Why, is the taste not as good as the fat boss's?"

Xu Yao shook her head and said no, it tasted great. She hadn't eaten it for a long time and missed it very much.

Pei Shuo smiled too when he saw that she liked it.

After the caravan entered the city, they arrived at a courtyard with three entrances.

This location is naturally not as good as the former Duke Zhenguo Mansion, but in the capital city where every inch of land is valuable, only wealthy families can afford to live here.

The housekeeper at the door saw Pei Shuo coming down and immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Master and Madam, you are finally here."

When Xu Yao heard the greeting, he was stunned for a moment and pulled his hand back uncomfortably.

Pei Shuo was about to help her, but she suddenly pulled her hand back, and Pei Shuo felt a little disappointed.

Xu Yao walked down by himself holding the stool, glanced at Pei Shuo, and asked him to explain clearly and not let others talk nonsense.

Pei Shuo did not explain, but only said to the housekeeper: "Madam, the courtyard has been cleaned up."

"Of course I'm ready. Everything is according to your instructions, no problem at all."

"What about dinner?"

"It has been prepared long ago. They are all Madam's favorite dishes. The chef was specially hired from the restaurant. He is guaranteed to cook exactly the same as it did back then."

The more Xu Yao listened, the more he felt something was wrong. However, it was not convenient for him to ask Pei Shuo directly in public, so he could only let Pei Shuo play his mind.

Xu Sheng followed behind them and curled his lips. Along the way, he pretended to be deaf and dumb as much as possible, for fear of offending the two demons. Fortunately, the two demons did not torture him, and provided him with food, clothing, shelter and transportation. He followed them into the mansion, but was directed to the guest house by the servants.

Xu Sheng didn't care. As long as he had a place to eat and sleep, it was fine. He had even lived in a stable, so what was this a big deal?

Xu Yao followed Pei Shuo into the main courtyard. After the servants left, he pulled Pei Shuo aside and asked, "What happened? What did you tell them? Why did you call me Madam?"

Pei Shuo quickly apologized: "Master, it's my fault. According to the original plan, I had someone pretend to be a couple and come to the capital to do business. But the girl arranged by Zhuang Mu had something urgent to do and couldn't show up here. I also forgot to write to the capital, so they saw you and me and misunderstood."

After Xu Yao heard him say this, she knew that she had to continue playing this role with him and she couldn't explain that she was not his wife.

Pei Shuo's identity in the capital city makes him prone to crisis. If he does something wrong, he will probably be in trouble.
