I raised my head and said in a serious tone: "Then, do you have any plans?"

He was quiet for a while, and said calmly to me: "Before, you have been advising me. Now, do you have anything else to advise me?"

“…”

My eyebrows frowned slightly.

Actually, of course I know what kind of person Pei Yuanxiu is.

He could start from leaving the capital with almost no money, then occupy Jinling, expand his power in Jinling, and then go north, and even force Pei Yuanhao, who was already on the throne, out of the capital.

Such scheming and such scheming are not something that ordinary people can achieve.

But now, since I returned to the capital this time, he has done almost nothing. Even if he did anything, he is listening to my "advice".

I don't believe it, he will really believe me so much.

As if seeing the hesitant light in my deep pupils, Pei Yuanxiu walked over slowly and said calmly: "You don't have to think about it. Since I asked you, I'm really asking you."

“…”

"Look, haven't I listened to all your advice before?"

I said, "But, why?"

“…”

"Why do you listen to my advice?"

“…”

"You know clearly that I'm with you-I won't hope you can be fine."

“…”

"Even--maybe I hope you die!"

When we talked about the last word, the whole room seemed to be frozen by the cold wind outside, and the two of us almost shivered involuntarily, especially me.

The chill that was almost frozen in my heart suddenly emerged at this moment.

Maybe, I hope you die!

There is no need to say this sentence, because not only me and him, almost everyone in the world who knows us will know this.

It was like a layer of lantern paper between us. We had clearly seen each other's figure and knew each other's feelings well, but we were all under the false smile and the seemingly calm illusion.

He was silent for a long time, stretched out his hand and gently supported my shoulder.

In the quiet room, his hoarse voice sounded-

"That's fine."

“…”

"I finally did one thing, what you want me to do."

“…”

"I always thought I had gained a lot, and even if I lost it, I could still find it back. But this time, when I saw you, I suddenly realized it."

“…”

"Nothing, I got nothing."

“…”

"I wasted half of my life and realized that a lifetime is empty."

Speaking of this, he chuckled: "If I can do something for you in the end, then this is probably the only one."

I didn't say anything, just sat there silently, with a slight stammer in my throat. I felt his hand holding my shoulder slightly use a little force, pinched me, and then turned and left.

The wind and snow outside once again swept the entire world.

It was already spring, but this sudden cold current frozen frozen the entire earth was frozen again.

But the only thing frozen is the earth.

Even if I keep myself in this silent room every day, I can hear the turmoil outside.

The documents that shot into the city with arrows caused a huge wave of speculation throughout Tianjin. The people never knew that their hard work was because they were carrying such a burden. Even if the documents were not in Tianjin, the pain was the same for the people oppressed by heavy taxes and corvee.

Therefore, dissatisfied and even angry emotions gradually grew.

This is only part of it.

More importantly, there were problems in the military.

A large part of Pei Yuanxiu's army was brought from Jinling, which was the army of King Jiangxia controlled by Han Zitong and Han Ruoshi. These people left their hometown and followed him to the capital thousands of miles away. In fact, they all thought that they could return to their hometown after success.

However, Jiangnan was occupied by my people.

Not only did they not be able to return to their hometown, but now they also found that the master they were loyal to was going to sell their hometown to the people of Shengjing.

Even if this matter fails, this fact is unreliable.

These days, I vaguely felt that the atmosphere outside was not right, especially in the evening, news came again.

People have been sent to the capital to rebuild the road from the capital to Tianjin.

Moreover, not only the road construction, their infantry have already rushed to Tianjin on these damaged roads, and they can reach the city of Tianjin tomorrow morning.

It seems that Pei Yuanhao is not willing to delay at all.

Outside the city, the team of Master Ye was still attacking continuously.

In this case, people's emotions will gradually become anxious, but in this mansion, Pei Yuanxiu himself is the quietest person.

That evening, when the news came from the capital, he stayed in my room and sat with me.

Of course, he would come here to sit with me. The two of them said something inexplicable, but today he came is a little different from usual.

He brought many people.

These soldiers seemed to be the personal soldiers of the Imperial Camp he personally selected, all of which were elite troops. Standing outside this empty and large room, without saying a word, it seemed that they did not exist.

It was very quiet outside.

I don't know what he wanted to do when he came to this room to sit, but the quiet and tense atmosphere made me feel a little breathless.

I thought for a while and said softly, "The weather outside is still not good?"

He said, "It will be better."

"I heard that the ice on the ferry side had already melted, but it has frozen again in the past two days?"

"It's just a thin layer of ice when it moves."

"oh……"

I nodded, remained silent for a while, and said, "Then you--"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a lot of heavy footsteps coming from a far away outside, and it was faintly as if some people were yelling.

I couldn't help but frown when I heard these sounds.

Since entering Yuwen Mansion, he has ordered that people not come to this place to disturb me. Except for Qiu'er and Lu'er who came to serve, no one else would set foot on this place.

But now, the silence here has been broken.

I subconsciously got up and walked to the window. Before I opened the window, I felt some fiery red light shining under the dark sky outside, brightening.

Many people came here with torches high.

Then, I heard these people shouting in unison—

"Kill Yan Qingying!"

My heart sank suddenly.

What I was worried about finally happened.
