Opposite the entrance hall

The moon and stars are sparse, the smoke is plume, and the orange candlelight decorates the night, so as not to make the night look too monotonous and boring.

A figure crossed the courtyard, and the figure was reflected on the ground by the candlelight. As he walked, he was slender and slender. He walked extremely fast. He was wearing a black cloak. If there was no candlelight, his whole body seemed to melt into the night. .

As soon as he stepped into the room, he was angered by the scene in the room, and reprimanded him coldly, "What are you doing with this idiot?"

After Li Hongyu heard the voice, he didn't turn around and didn't even change his movements. He was still feeding the rice porridge carefully, with a gentle smile on his face, and from time to time he wiped the corners of the woman's mouth. If others saw it, they would think they were a good couple. Deep love, infatuated boy.

Seeing that no one answered, the man in black frowned, "Leave these things to the servants, why waste time on this idiot?"

"I have nothing to do at home." Li Hongyu handed the bowl to the maid at the side, took the handkerchief and cleaned his hands, got up and went to the inner room, picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea, and took one of the cups to drink.

The man in the black cloak also sat down, and he put down his hood to reveal his face. It was Yan Yi, the worker in front of Emperor Chengde.

Yan Yi's eyes fell on the leisurely person opposite, and he said displeasedly: "Are you still in the mood to drink tea?"

Li Hongyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Otherwise?"

This sentence somehow made Yan Yi's anger even more intense, and his tone was tinged with anger, "I told you at the beginning that Andrew is not easy to control, and working with him is nothing more than seeking skin from a tiger. You think highly of yourself." It's fine if it works, but now that Andrew has put us together, using our hands to benefit Beiyan, and he will turn his back on us!"

Hearing this, Li Hongyu paused, and after a little thought, he understood who caused Yan Yi's anger, and why he rushed to Xingshi aggressively to ask the crime, "Andrew agreed to negotiate a peace?"

"The envoy hurriedly sent back the report that the emperor recruited Qi Kuangshan and Yan Shizheng into the palace overnight. I don't want to stay longer, so I just heard this sentence. I don't know the specifics."

"Andrew is a very scheming person. He pretended to form an alliance with us. In fact, he had this idea from the very beginning. He not only avenged Guo Jingyi's revenge on Beiyan, but also gained benefits from it," Li Hongyu said with an expression on his face. There was a sudden change, and his tone was gnashing his teeth, "The group of old bastards in the middle of the loss said something about a win-win situation. This is obviously a win-win situation for Andrew, and it turns us around. This move is really high-sounding. It's because I'm not as good as others." .”

"Without Andrew's help, our plan would have to be advanced," said Yan Yi, looking around, propping up his hands across the table and lowering his voice, leaning close to Li Hongyu and whispering, "Emperor Dajin, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter." gone."

The latter glanced at him sideways, Yan Yi sat back again, raised his teacup to play with, "I have waited for so many years for today, any uncertain factors must be suppressed, don't let your hard work go to waste! "

After finishing the words, he raised his head and drank the tea, put the cup back heavily, put on the hood again and stood up, "I can't stay any longer, I'm leaving first."

When Yan Yi came out from the inner room, the bowl of rice porridge hadn't been finished yet, he stopped and looked at it with a confused expression, moved from the bowl of rice porridge to Mi'er's face,

Perhaps his eyes were too sinister, Mi'er shrank her head, and her whole body trembled unconsciously.

It wasn't until Li Hongyu came out that Yan Yi didn't understand, so he sneered and walked into the night.

Standing aside, Li Hongyu lowered his eyes and didn't know what to think. After a while, he took the bowl of rice porridge with residual warmth from the servant girl again, raised his hand to signal people to go out, and whispered while feeding, "It's a pity, if he I can be as obedient and obedient as you, and I will love him as much as I do to you, obedient pets are always more lovable, huh?"

Mi'er didn't know who the "she" was in her words, she just nodded in a daze, her trembling teeth revealed her fear and fear, and she trembled even more when Li Hongyu touched her face gently with his movements.

The night is too long, and the dawn has not been seen for a long time.

The edict prison was dark and dark as always, lit only by the faint light of the fire. It was so quiet that even a slight movement could become very clear. With a slight twist of the ear, you could still hear the creaking sound of mice gnawing wood chips, so that when the footsteps When the sound came, Ji Si could clearly perceive it.

Du Heng led the people over, and he didn't see clearly until he got closer. He was a little surprised, even surprised, by the people coming. Yang Qin, Yang Yunchuan, and Ji Si directly expressed the surprise, "Why are you here?"

"You have such a big deal, if I don't come, how can I be considered a brother?" Yang Qin still looked the same, but there was still a little difference, as if he was mature and steady, but when he spoke It was the same Yang Yunchuan that everyone was familiar with, "However, I don't really want to see me after hearing what you say, but it makes my heart go cold. It's not human. You have to treat me to a drink after you come out!"

"Aren't I surprised?" Infected by his emotion, Ji Si smiled, changed a comfortable posture, and asked another important matter, "I heard that you divorced? Why?"

Mentioning this matter, Yang Qin's face became very complicated. Since he and Qi Xi reconciled, the two should have lived in peace, but I don't know if it was his illusion. The number of times he met Qi Xi recently seems, maybe, seems, somewhat If there are too many, you can also chat a few words calmly, which is far more harmonious than before.

This is not tomorrow when Qi Xi invited him to swim in the lake, Yang Qin was a little hesitant, he always felt that it was not a big deal, and was worried that no one could help him, but he also knew that this was not the time to talk about it, so he waved his hands with a mournful face, "It's a long story, and I won't be able to explain it clearly for a while. I'll talk to you some other day."

Ji Si only thought that he was heartbroken, and it was inconvenient to mention this matter, so he nodded.

"Actually, besides me, there is one person who wants to see you today." Yang Qin said again.

Along his sideways, Ji Si saw a person standing in the dark all the time, with a slender figure like a woman, he pursed his lips, saw the face of the person under the hood, and exclaimed, "Second Miss!"

Pei Yao came out from the dark and saluted, "Master Ji."

Du Heng who was on the side opened his mouth, "Second Miss Pei wanted to thank you personally, so she asked Mrs. Yang to find me."

The voice fell, but no one spoke. Du Heng's eyes fell on Pei Yao, and he pulled Yang Qin, who was watching the scene with wide eyes, and turned back while pushing the people out, "Speak slowly, I am with Mr. Yang Get out and get some air."

After getting a little farther away, Du Heng thought about it more and more, something was wrong, and he muttered to himself, "How did I become the gatekeeper?"

Seeing the figures of the two pass the corner, Ji Si then turned his eyes back. Looking at the much thinner woman in front of him, all kinds of things outside Wanping City appeared in his mind, including Pei Zhan, who was covered in blood, unconsciously rubbing against each other. Fingerbone, said in a hoarse voice, "Sorry..."

"Master Ji, why did you say that? This matter has nothing to do with you from the beginning to the end. On the contrary, the Pei family should thank Master Ji." gratitude."

Ji Si hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, "Ji Si can't stand it."

Pei Yao didn't force her to stand up straight, and she looked into Ji Si's eyes without dodging, which only made people feel a little weird but couldn't find the reason, "Second Miss came here today not just for that."

"To be honest with Master Ji, Pei Yao came here for something today," Pei Yao pondered for a while, and then continued, "I don't know if Master Ji has heard that the crown prince intends to accept my concubine. .”

Hearing this, Ji Si's eyelids twitched, and his face became very solemn. He was a little confused, so he didn't know what Pei Yao meant by mentioning this matter, so he had to carefully probe, "The prince wants to accept the second lady as a concubine?"

Pei Yao's expression remained unchanged, she still stared at Ji Si, not letting go of every detail on his face, "Master Ji has been with the prince for so long, doesn't it mean he doesn't even know about this?"

This topic came out of nowhere, Ji Si licked his molars with his tongue, pondered for a while and nodded, "I know."

"Master Ji must also know why the prince insists on accepting me as his concubine."

"know."

"Master Ji, did you know that after my brother left, the Pei family is now the fish on the knife, and the surroundings are full of wolves, tigers and leopards that come smelling."

Every word she said accurately analyzed the current predicament of the Pei family, so true that people couldn't even find any rebuttals.

Ji Si took a deep breath, "Second Ms. Pei has something to say, it's better to speak up."

Pei Yao's eyes moved slightly, and instead of continuing the topic, she asked without beginning or end, "Master Ji, have you ever thought about going out?"

After the words fell, neither of them spoke. After a while, Ji Si frowned, "What does Second Miss mean?"

"Corruption of military pay is a serious crime. According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, you can be punished by death." Pei Yao did not answer him, but went on to herself, "Unless Dali Temple and Yushitai can find someone to cleanse you." Otherwise, you will not be able to get out of this prison."

She was telling the truth, and Ji Si didn't want to deny it, but raised his eyebrows to signal to continue.

After receiving a response, Pei Yao informed her of all the arrangements she had planned long ago, "The Pei family has made great contributions to the Great Jin. Both my father and my elder brother died in battle for the Great Jin. The late emperor took pity on me, Pei." The family is loyal and we are lonely, so we issued an oral order to save my Pei family from fire and water in times of crisis, and the reason why the emperor dare not touch the Pei family easily is because of this oral order."

Hearing this, Ji Si vaguely understood what Pei Yao meant, the expression on his face suddenly became complicated, and his tone was a little uncertain, "You mean..."

Pei Yao clenched her sleeves tightly with her fingers, and subconsciously bit her lower lip until her lower lip turned white. Then she asked slowly, "Master Ji, will you marry me?"

This is the solution she has thought about for a long time, killing three birds with one stone can solve Ji Si's current predicament and save him; it can also keep the Pei family away from the center of right and wrong, so that they will not be passively chosen by the prince or King Rui; ...It can also satisfy her shady selfish desires.

Everything was calculated clearly, except that Mr. Ji's face was serious, and he opened his mouth to refuse, "It can't be done."

"What can't be done?" Pei Yao pressed her every step of the way. Although she was fragile, she had the blood of a general in her bones. She faced up to difficulties and refused to give up easily. Involuntarily being pushed into the center of the vortex, I can't just watch the Pei family become a tool for power struggle, whether they win or lose, the Pei family's army will become a thorn in their hearts, because this thorn will turn into a spear. A shield, so that it will not be broken abruptly."

Her face was a little pale, but after she had said a lot, she became ruddy a lot, her eyes were shining brightly in the darkness, seeing Ji Si pursed her lips, she added thoughtfully, "If Mrs. Ji marries me, then she will be from the Pei family. Even though you don't have a high salary, you can keep your food and clothing well. I will abide by my duty and respect you, or three years... no, six years, five years later, Le Jin will be able to take over the Pei family's army, and Mr. Ji will still not I would like to be bound by the Pei... Pei family, and then you and I can make up on our own."

"Why is this necessary?" Ji Si couldn't figure it out. If Pei Yao wanted to find someone to prevent the Pei family from being involved in the center of power, Lin'an had many sons from aristocratic families with both civil and military skills, so whoever he chose would be more suitable than Ji Si. Why would she choose The bet is all on yourself.

That oral order was the whole family's future, and now she bestowed it on herself. This kind of kindness was too heavy. Ji Si couldn't accept it with peace of mind.

Why is this necessary?

Pei Yao understands the implication of these four words, and she has thought about it, but she would rather take a gamble than spend her whole life with someone she doesn't like.

"Alas," Ji Si felt a little tired when no one answered, and lowered his voice to dissuade, "Second Miss, there is still room for discussion on this matter. You have no love for Ji Si, so why bother..."

"No," Pei Yao cut off the words with a stern look, without any hesitation, she said the secret hidden in her heart, "I am happy with you."

Hearing this, Ji Si's pupils suddenly dilated, as if hearing something unbelievable, those weird things that he had ignored suddenly became reasonable.

But thousands of calculations have been made, but Pei Yao didn't count, and Pei Yao was pleased with herself.

His reaction was within Pei Yao's expectation. When he opened his mouth, he realized that it was not so hard to say, but he was relieved, and those emotions that were hard to say rushed out.

The corners of Pei Yao's mouth raised a slight smile, still devouring all calmness and rationality with this affection, she indulged herself and continued: "When we first met in Shiqiao, we met in downtown, Pei Yao has long been pleased with Master Ji, just like that hexagram As the saying goes, "Flowers will bloom when they are in prosperity, and they will come when spring is warm", Mr. Ji and I are flowers blooming in the warmth of spring. Today, I came here not only for the sake of Pei's family, but also for Pei Yao alone. "

After some words, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Ji Si opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. His head was in a mess, but he couldn't think clearly.

Ever since she fell in love with Qi Ran when she was young, she has never teased others, but now Pei Yao stands in front of her, saying she likes her, like a boulder falling, causing earth-shaking turmoil.

Although Ji Si couldn't bear it, she still thought that since she didn't have that kind of thought for the girl in her heart, she shouldn't be indecisive. unwilling."

The question went back to the answer at the beginning, Pei Yao felt unwilling, and asked, "But what's wrong with Pei Yao that she can't get into Master Ji's eyes?"

"No," Ji Si shook his head, "Miss Er's disposition is something that most people feel ashamed of. If you say you don't like it, it's because men in this world can't catch your eye. How can I be loved by Miss Er? I am very grateful, but Ji Sixin has his own place, a corner of the world, but within a square inch, the land in his heart is just enough to accommodate him alone. He has a bad temper, and if he knows this, he might want to make trouble with me. I don't want to delay You also don't want to disappoint him."

It was the expected answer, but Pei Yao still felt sour, her eyes darkened a bit, "I actually envy this woman a little bit, and Master Ji treats her sincerely."

Ji Si didn't make any excuses, let her misunderstand, just smiled a few times, and was afraid that she was still young and easy to mess around, so after thinking about it, she couldn't help saying a few more words, "Second Miss, Qi Shaoqing and General Pei are on their own. The small relationship is close, you don't discuss it like him, he is smart and can think of a way to solve it, General Pei is in the spirit of the sky, and he doesn't want to see you wronging yourself so much, I think I hope you will be safe and happy for a lifetime without worry, you are like this It’s a good chance to find a good husband, loving and white-headed, Ji Si is a stepping stone that is fast, smelly and hard, lest she will be humiliated.”

At this time, Pei Yao actually had a plan in mind, but suppressed the bitterness, and smiled at Ji Si, "It is Master Ji who is so kind that Pei Yao will be deeply involved."

"I……"

"It's okay, love can't be forced, as Master Ji said, Pei Yao is very good in every way, but it just happens that he is not the sweetheart of Master Ji, it's a pity that Master Ji can't be rescued from going out."

"Second Miss's affection is appreciated, and she is destined to die, so she can only do her best and obey the destiny."

The tone of the two of them was frank and normal, even if others saw it, they would not be able to see the slightest clue, as if the phrase "I am happy with you" had never appeared before.

Through the fence, Pei Yao looked at Ji Si, she looked carefully, her eyes were restrained, as if she wanted to suppress the throbbing in her heart, so as not to let it come out any more.

"Master Ji," Pei Yao said, "Thank you."

The last time she looked over, she had a solemn expression. For some reason, Ji Si felt a little uneasy. Before she could make a sound, she saw that the person had already gone away. Then Yang Qin and Du Heng came out from the corner. The former looked at the hurrying Pei Yao, Touching his nose, he was confused and asked: "Second Miss Pei is crying, right? I'll go, what did Ah Yan do?"

Can't say clearly in a few words, Ji Si cared about the girl's face again, frowned and fell silent, leaving the two of them staring at each other, both puzzled.

Ji Si kept this matter in mind, and understood the embarrassing situation the Pei family was in now. Although Pei Yao was more stable and self-restraining than her peers, she was still a young girl, so she was worried about her impulsiveness.

I don't know if it's a good spirit or a bad spirit, but after a few days of this incident, when I saw Qi Ran during the interrogation again, his expression was very ugly, and Ji Sidun felt uneasy but worried about the inconvenience of others present to ask more questions.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Du Heng knew that there was something important to talk to each other, and he knew what it was in his heart, so he sent the rest of the people out with great insight, and he worked hard as a doorkeeper outside, and what was even more angry was that he didn't even have a chair nothing!

As soon as the person left, Ji Si hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Qi Ran's face was ashen, he hesitated for a long time before speaking in a dumb voice.

Ji Si was dizzy after saying one sentence, and the uneasiness that had been neglected resurfaced again, even intensified, and he repeated that sentence in disbelief, "What does it mean that Pei Yao wants to be shaved? What does it mean to become a nun?"

These days, Ji Si, Pei's family, and all kinds of affairs in the court got together, and Qi Ran lost a lot of weight in running around, rubbing the center of her brows, and her voice seemed a little weak, "She went to the imperial court to ask for the edict, and said The Pei family killed too much, and wanted to pray for the descendants of the Pei family. At first, the emperor felt sorry for the loneliness of the Pei family, so he refused to issue an order. However, she made up her mind to kneel in front of the palace. When I heard the news, it was already too late Yes! Once the emperor Jinkou opened it, it cannot be changed, and today it was delivered in Cilin nunnery."

"She made up her mind a long time ago, and she also begged the emperor to send Le Jin and Le Yu outside the pass, in the name of getting rid of their spoiled temperament, but in fact, she is sealing her own back."

"Not only has the prince's thoughts been cut off, the Pei family will not be involved in this turmoil, but Le Jin and Le Yu can also be sent out of Lin'an to be taken care of by the Guo family brothers. This is what she had in mind from the beginning!"

Ji Si was stunned in place, her lips moved, and she just said softly: "She...she is only sixteen, and she hasn't been looking forward to being a good husband..."

Although Qi Ran was indignant, but he also knew that Ji Si's expression was wrong, so he couldn't help questioning, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Hearing the question, Ji Si looked up, hesitated, and finally said, "Pei Yao...my heart pleases me..."

He explained all the few words of the day clearly, and after hearing this, Qi Ran could not see any joy or anger on his face, and said in a flat tone: "She has a strong temper, and she will not change what she believes, and it has nothing to do with you, so don't take it to heart. "

"I know," Ji Si sighed, "I'm just worried that the prince won't give up easily."

When Li Hongyang was mentioned, Qi Ran's expression became extremely complicated. The two of them did not make it clear in their hearts, but they also understood that although Pei Yao's method was inappropriate, it was the best. The imperial decree of marriage will be issued to the Pei family, and then it will be a done deal.

Just as the two of them thought, when Li Hongyang heard the news, he was furious and kicked over the table. The porcelain cup and teapot shattered to the ground. Gritting her teeth, she vented her anger fiercely, "Well, you Pei Yao, I thought you were a delicate flower raised in a deep boudoir, but you never thought that you would be full of thorns, turning everyone around, such scheming and boldness make people look down upon you." gone."

"This girl ruined the prince's plan. It's really hateful. Fortunately, this piece of fat from the Pei family did not fall into the mouth of King Rui. It is a blessing among misfortunes for us." Mr. Lan said unhurriedly, "Your Highness also Don't be angry, since the matter of the Pei family is a foregone conclusion, the most urgent thing is to find a way to put our people into the household department, the household department is in charge of finance and tax collection, and the succession of His Highness in the future will be a great help."

After finishing speaking, he hesitated for a while, weighed his words, looked carefully at Li Hongyang's expression, and asked a little more, "Ji Shilang, are you going to save me?"

Keith?

Li Hongyang squinted his eyes, Ji Si's groveling, obsequious appearance appeared in front of his eyes. It's not that he didn't see Ji Si's change, but he couldn't see through it before, and he couldn't see through it even more now.

The fate of the two stems from the accident that day, Ji Si saved his life, he gave Ji Si power and wealth, if Ji Si can be obedient and obedient, he doesn't mind teasing Ji Si to amuse him.

It can only be blamed, Ji Si's ambition is gone.

Thinking of this, Li Hongyang sneered, "It's just a dog. Although it has been raised for a long time, there is no need to keep this disobedient dog."

He nudged it with his index finger, the words fell, and the teacup on the edge of the table shattered.

The sound was exceptionally clear and loud, and the tiles fell to the ground and jumped apart. It is not difficult to see how much strength the person who threw it used.

"Are you crazy!" Yan Shizheng was furious, and slapped the table several times, "You know where Guangping Pass is, so you dare to say you're going?"

Yan Zhao knelt on the ground, with his back straight, his fists clenched to his sides, his lowered eyes covering his emotions, his right shoulder was wet, the water stains were still spreading, and the water stains mixed together With tea stalks, it was even steaming when it was sprinkled on the clothes.

Yan Shizheng was in a hurry, and naturally he had no energy left in his hands, a cup of hot tea was thrown on Yan Zhao's body, his shoulder was hot and painful, but he tried his best not to make a sound.

On the other hand, Princess Zhaoyang cried out, and threw herself in front of Yan Zhao, hugged him in her arms and inspected carefully, "Qingqing, is there any injury, let mother see, let mother see. "

If the child is a piece of flesh that fell from the mother, then Zhaoyang is a Yan Zhao cast with the flesh and blood of his whole body. Yan Zhao was not in good health when he was born, and the doctors said that the child may not live long, so she begged God, who is so talented, did not take her life away.

She raised her Qingqing carefully, giving what she wanted, protecting everything she did, and she was reluctant to be beaten and scolded. Others said that the young master of Zhen Guogong's mansion might be raised and abandoned. Can be a domineering dude.

Only she knows that her Qingqing is well-behaved and filial, although she is pampered, she never causes trouble, she is kind-hearted and intelligent, and she listens to their husband and wife most of all, and can't bear him being sad.

Because of this, she could understand Yan Zhao's seriousness even more, and she really liked Pei Zhan, so she couldn't bear to tell the news of Pei Zhan's death, just because she was worried that the child would do something wrong.

But the paper couldn't contain the fire. Yan Zhao came back that day with a pale face and red and swollen eyes, as if he had lost half his life, without any vitality from the past, but shut himself in the room, she felt distressed but Yan Zhao If you don't mention Pei Zhan, you can't bear to make him sad.

I thought it would be fine after this matter was over, but I never thought it was a wrong step.

The tears on Zhaoyang's face dripped down Yan Zhao's clothes. She softened her voice and comforted her with tears, "Qingqing, mother knows your pain and your affection for Pei Zhan, but he is dead. , what's the point of you going to Guangping Pass? Let him pass the past. From now on, whether you like women or men, mother is up to you, as long as you are happy, but you can't let you join the army. The battlefield is dangerous, and the sword has no eyes, if something happens to you, what will your parents do in the future!"

The cry is plaintive, making one's nose sore.

Yan Zhao raised his head and gently wiped away the tears on his face. Even his voice was not as impetuous and pampered as before, but a little more helpless, "Mother, I am not only for Pei Zhan, but also for you and me. Father, for our Yan family."

"For me and your mother?" Yan Shizheng sneered, "Your mother and I have worked so hard to raise you, just to make you feel overwhelmed and die?"

Hearing the sound, Yan Zhao said slowly, "My father taught me to be a useful person since I was a child, but it was difficult for me to understand when I was young. Princess Yang, the current emperor is my uncle, and he was born to be superior to others. The current power and status is not because of Yan Guanqing's talent and ability, but because I cast a good pregnancy, voted in the Yan family, and became a I am the son of Yan Shizheng, and my mother is Princess Zhaoyang of the Jin Dynasty, I was born noble, and I am a blessing that others can't cultivate in a few lifetimes."

"But if..." Yan Zhao choked up twice, "But if I'm not your son, then Yan Zhao is useless. The ancestors of the Yan family have made great achievements, but what about me? I can't do anything, What else can I do except cause trouble since I was a child? Qi Ziheng is already the number one scholar at my age, and even Pei Zhan is also a young general who has become famous."

"I thought I was born useless, but Pei Zhan told me, he said... I am the person he saw as gifted, with the ability to be a general. In time, I will become a general. He taught me martial arts and gave me a long-term gift. Spear, give me a strategy, and open up another different road for me, a road that belongs to Yan Zhao."

After all, Yan Zhao let go of Princess Zhaoyang, looked straight at Yan Shizheng, with a solemn expression, but the words he said moved people, "Father, I want to walk a path that belongs to me, and I want others to mention me. Yan Zhao is not just A young master of the Zhen Guogong Mansion, wants the entire Yan family to be proud of me, and wants to be the pride of you and your mother."

"Qingqing..." Zhaoyang listened, tears couldn't be stopped, and he quickly covered his lips to hide his crying.

Yan Shi's eyes were also red. He looked at the child in front of him, as if he still remembered the excitement and excitement when he first became a father. He originally wanted to teach this child martial arts and literature, so that Yan Shizheng's son could become a talented man of the Jin Dynasty. model.

But things backfired, he would rather his children be safe and happy, and have a smooth life than accomplish a lot, and when he reacted, he spoiled Yan Zhao.

He was afraid that no one would take care of Yan Zhao for them when he and Zhaoyang went back for a hundred years, he was afraid that he would be bullied and cold, and would worry about waking up at night. The child said solemnly: Be their pride.

These words made Yan Shizheng's heart ache. He re-examined his son, and found that at some point, the child who needed her and Zhaoyang's protection slowly grew up in an invisible place, while himself and Zhaoyang Treat him like he was when he was a child.

It is not Yan Zhao who has not changed, but him and Zhaoyang.

Their Qingqing has grown up.

Thinking of this, Yan Shizheng said in a flat tone: "It's not that you haven't grown up, but that your mother and I are reluctant."

Hearing these words, Zhaoyang immediately understood, and said anxiously, "Ju Chi..."

"Zhaoyang, Qingqing has grown up," Yan Shizheng rubbed the center of his brows, and waved his hands weakly, "Go, go and take the road that belongs to you, no matter what the result is, you must remember, father and you Niangdu left a lamp for you to go home in Lin'an."

Yan Zhao's tears swirled in his eyes, and he held back so that they would not flow out. He just folded his hands in front of him, bent down and saluted with his forehead touching the back of his hands, with a muffled crying voice. The message came, "I don't know when the child will return. I hope that the parents will take care of their health and don't worry about it."

After the words fell, the uncontrollable crying finally came out, and the sound resounded through every corner of the Duke's Mansion, and it lingered for a long time.

Yan Shizheng went to the imperial court to ask for the Taoist decree, and put Yan Zhaoan into the escort team that sent Pei Lejin and Pei Leyu to Guangping Pass. Hurry up and finally set off on the last day of the month.

It was getting colder and colder this day. On the day before leaving, some icy shards floated in the air. Among the group of brocade clothes, Pei Yao was very conspicuous in her blue Taoist robe. His expression was very gentle, and he kept reminding him of the things to pay attention to when he went to Quang Binh Pass, no matter how big or small he was, repeating them several times.

What's rare is that the twins, who are usually very temperamental, are very well-behaved at this time, they don't cry or make noise, but stick close to Pei Yao with red eyes, for fear that they will lose sight of anyone once they turn around.

Suddenly there was a pressing force on the hat, Pei Yao raised her eyes and looked straight, only to see Pei Leyu gently stroking the brim of the hat with her hand, and mumbling, "There's no hair left."

Pei Yao frowned, took off her hand to warm it, and said flatly: "It will grow back in the future."

Pei Lejin tugged at her sleeve, and asked whether she wanted to cry or not: "Sister, are you really not going with us?"

"You guys go first, sister has to deal with some things, remember to be obedient, you know?"

The two young boys nodded repeatedly.

At this time, Qi Ran led Qi Nian over and walked over, imitating Pei Yao's movement and squatting down, smiling slightly, "If Le Jin and Le Yu want to go home, let the Guo family brother write to us, I will Remember what I taught you?"

"Remember," Pei Lejin nodded warmly, then looked at Qi Nian at the side, and discussed in a low voice, "Brother Ah Heng, you must remember to bring Nian'er to play with us."

"It's up to you to ask him yourself." Qi Ran said, pushing Qi Nian forward, and the three of them got together, chattering for some reason, with expressions on their faces more serious than the other.

Pei Yao watched for a while and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Qi Ran looked over and felt sore when he saw her like this, he couldn't help sighing, "Senior brother is right, you don't know when you will change your temper."

Both of them understood the meaning of these words. Pei Yao knew Qi Ran's friendship with the Pei family, and she was very grateful in her heart. Because of this, she didn't want to turn the troubles of the Pei family into the troubles of the Qi family, so she could only look around. Talking to him, she tilted her head to imitate Pei Lejin and the others calling sweetly, "It was Yao'er who made a mistake, Brother Ah Heng doesn't remember villains, so don't be angry."

The matter has come to this point, but it doesn't help to talk about other things, so I have to remind them one by one. During the speech, there was a sound from the team in front, as if they were about to pack up and set off.

"Why is he here?" Qi Ran was puzzled.

Pei Yao smiled but didn't speak, just walked through the crowd, stood in front of the horse and raised her head to talk to them, "Young master."

"Second miss..."

Yan Zhao wanted to get off his horse, but Pei Yao waved his hand to dissuade him, "Young master, don't bother, you and I can talk like this."

"What does Second Miss want to say?" Yan Zhao stopped his movements and lowered his head slightly so that Pei Yao would not raise his neck too high.

"Young master is going to Guangping Pass because of my elder brother?"

"..." Yan Zhao paused, then nodded and replied, "Half and half, for him and for myself."

Hearing this, Pei Yao took out an envelope from her bosom and handed it over, and continued after someone took it, "Give this letter to Guo Chang, he will understand after reading it."

Although he didn't go into details, Yan Zhao probably understood what the letter would say, and knew that Pei Yao had good intentions, so he didn't refuse to put it in his arms, "Thank you, Second Miss."

"I have to thank you, Young Master." Pei Yao glanced back at the carriage, then took a quick glance and then looked back, "In the future, please, Young Master, take care of my younger siblings. The Pei family will definitely remember this kindness, and I am very grateful."

"Miss Er fulfilled one of my wishes. If I really want to talk about it, I am in debt. I should do these things out of emotion and reason."

Seeing the obvious change in the person in front of her, Pei Yao felt a little emotional, and wanted to say more, but there was a commotion behind her that seemed to be about to leave, and finally she could only say, "My lord, this man has passed away, but the living It’s not necessary, don’t forget my elder brother.”

Yan Zhao was stunned for a moment, and before he even had time to respond, he listened to the urging of others, so he had no choice but to give up, turned his horse's head and nodded towards the people, and walked into the crowd.

Departing in line, the vast number of people set off slowly, the flag of the Pei family fluttered in the wind, the wind whistled, messed up the hair, blinded the eyes, and blurred the vision with the raised dust.

As if she knew that she was going to say goodbye, and it had been many years since she met, Pei Lejin and Pei Leyu cried while holding the window, "Sister... Sister..."

"Sister, I don't want to leave, I don't want to leave you, I want to go home..."

Hearing their voices, Pei Yao's eyes turned red and her body unconsciously ran forward, shouting heartbreakingly, "Le Jin, Le Yu, you must be obedient, sister is not by your side, you have to take care of yourself...
