The ship has docked.

The sun was shining brightly, shining on the huge ship, casting a long shadow, covering almost half of the pier. All the people on the pier raised their heads, looking at the haze brought by this behemoth.

They shade.

Pei Yuanxiu and I were standing on the sampan.

I don’t know why, seeing this scene makes me feel heavier and heavier.

It seems... what I brought is really haze.

Pei Yuanxiu also kept looking down. For him, this land was unprecedented. After a while, he felt my absence and gently pinched my fingertips. I suddenly raised my head.

Looking at him, I saw the corners of his eyes curled up: "Are you okay?"

"..."

"Qingying?"

"..." I opened my mouth, and after a while I said hoarsely: "It's okay."

When the boatman takes care of everything, we will go ashore.

With three rivers converging here, it is naturally the hub of waterway transportation. People come and go, boats come and go, and goods come and go. Just by looking at it from the deck, you can see the excitement and prosperity here. Amidst the noise

, the accompanying attendants all walked down first, clearing the way on both sides. Pei Yuanxiu and I, followed by Su Su and several other maids, slowly came ashore.

The moment I stepped from the gate to the pier, my feet were finally firmly planted, but I stumbled slightly.

Pei Yuanxiu hurriedly grabbed my arm and looked at me nervously. I smiled lightly at him, but this smile could not hide the gradual paleness of my face.

Then I turned around and looked at this pier, the roads here, the people here, and the mountains and rivers in the distance shrouded in light mist. Everything was so familiar, yet so far away, as if there were some things that I met in another world.

It turns out it has never changed.

I am finally back.

I have appeared in nightmares so many times and this place has been buried deep in my heart. After running away for more than ten years, I finally came back.

|

A carriage drove up in front of us, and Pei Yuanxiu led me over.

The carriage did not have any gorgeous decorations, but the carriage was spacious and comfortably furnished. After all, it was still a long journey from Fengjie to Chengdu. Pei Yuanxiu lifted the curtain and just grabbed my hand to take me into the carriage. Suddenly,

There was a strange movement behind him that made both him and I pause.

When I turned around, I felt that the crowded pier had become quiet.

Someone is coming this way.

Pei Yuanxiu also felt something. He still held my hand and stood beside the carriage. Then he saw the people on the dock slowly retreating to both sides, and a group of people walked towards us.

It was a group of young men, each wearing a tight-fitting plain white gown, looking fit and strong; they were all only thirty years old, and their appearance could be said to be handsome. Such a group of people appeared at a crowded pier.

It will naturally attract everyone’s attention.

But what’s even more surprising is that their steps are almost the same. The person in the front row takes one step, and the person in the back step takes one step, just stepping on the footprints left by the person in front. At a glance, it looks like a

There are countless phantoms of people, making it difficult to tell who is who for a while.

The attendants behind us also looked at them. Although they did not speak, except for Susu, everyone else was obviously shocked.

Pei Yuanxiu and I were still standing on the carriage bench until those people came to me. Then all of them lifted their fronts and knelt down towards me: "Greetings, Miss!"

Although there were many people on the pier, not even a breath was heard at this time.

They did not set up a show, did not arrange manpower at the pier in advance, and did not prohibit anyone from coming to the pier. But as soon as these people appeared, everyone consciously stepped aside and did not dare to make any more noise.

This is the position of the Yan family in Xichuan!

This is the Yan family!

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were turned to me.

I stood there numbly. The river wind was not strong, but it was enough to blow my clothes up. The wind penetrated my clothes, like a cool hand touching my body, which made me unconscious.

, the whole body is already cold.

After these people knelt down, they all lowered their heads, and no one dared to raise their heads again. I stood in front of them and said coldly: "Where is my daughter?"

"My subordinates are here to greet the eldest lady on the order of the master of the family. Please get in the car."

Dozens of people spoke at the same time, and no matter how steady their voices were, it was enough to stir up waves in everyone's hearts.

The quiet people on the pier were already staring at me in shock.

"Where is my daughter?!"

"Miss, please set off."

"..."

Before I could speak the third sentence, I saw a group of carriages approaching.

There were about four or five carriages, and the ones at the front and back were considered spacious, but the one in the middle was not only spacious, but also comfortable, and could even be called exquisite. There were even fine carvings on the carriages, and light curtains hanging down on both sides.

Like clouds and smoke, they dance when blown by the wind, making the entire carriage seem to be enveloped in clouds and mist.

The wharf here is for civilian use, with rough boatmen coming and going, carrying large boxes of goods. The air is filled with the smell of water and fish, but the exquisite carriage that suddenly appears is like rough gravel.

The pearls popping out of it make people feel overwhelmed for a moment.

But at this moment, what I felt was a chill running down my back.

In any kind of dispatch, as long as there are a lot of people dispatched, there must be a leader. If I say or do anything, that person will definitely be attacked. But Yan Qingchen sent a team of exactly the same people.

I can't find a deacon. In this case, no one will answer my questions, and what I want to do will not affect them.

Pei Yuanxiu, who was standing next to me, also felt this and frowned slightly.

Although it was just a simple response, it was already overwhelmed!

Yan Qingchen, indeed Yan Qingchen.

I remained silent and didn't speak, and these people just kept kneeling at my feet. No one raised their head or even moved.

Finally, Pei Yuanxiu spoke, and he said softly: "Qingying?"

I then raised my head and glanced at him. After all, I didn't say anything and walked forward. When Pei Yuanxiu saw that I was walking towards the carriage they brought, he hurriedly took two steps forward and grabbed my hand: "Qing Qing

Baby!"

I looked back at him and said calmly: "It doesn't matter."

"Can——"

"He wants to see me sooner than I want to find him."

Pei Yuanxiu's face darkened, as if he understood something, and he didn't speak again, but I already had a sullen face and continued walking forward.

The people kneeling on the ground immediately stood up and retreated to both sides, opened a path for me, and then followed us; and when I walked towards the carriage step by step, I could clearly see the people around me.

With shocked and surprised eyes, everyone held their breath, not daring to take a breath.

I only heard someone behind the crowd say in a low voice: "That - that's the eldest lady of the Yan family!"

"It's her, it's really her!"

"Miss, why are you here? She's not——"

"Shh!"

I subconsciously glanced over there, just once, and everyone I saw lowered their heads, cautiously not daring to look at me.

I sighed softly, feeling a little exhausted.

In the past, the oppressive feeling that made people unable to even breathe came to mind at this moment.

This is Nishikawa.

This is the Yan family in Xichuan!

The carriage drove quickly on the mountain road.

The horses that pull the cart are chosen to be thousand-mile horses that can travel long distances. Four horses pull a cart, so it is naturally effortless. In such rapid progress, the days pass day by day.

We drove very fast, but the journey was not hard. Yan Qingchen’s arrangements were enough for me to enjoy good service on the way. There are inns in Xichuan and all official roads in the Central Plains, and every section of the road will be removed.

The tired horses were replaced by energetic horses, and the inn had already prepared a place to rest and delicious food for us. After resting, we could quickly hit the road again.

After passing through the Fengjie area, the mountain road gradually became smoother, and the carriage moved faster.

Gradually, the rugged mountain roads were replaced by broad avenues. When I opened the curtains and looked around, the surroundings were no longer rolling mountains, but vast plains with flat plains.

Chengdu is just around the corner.

I have traveled to many places in the Central Plains, from north to south, and many of those cities have bustling and bustling scenes, but no matter how prosperous the city is, outside the main city, it feels somewhat cold. But here it is.

The difference is that even before arriving in the main city, the surrounding area is gradually becoming lively, and some small towns in remote areas also have their own prosperity.

Floods and droughts come from people, but they don’t know about famine.

One can imagine the wealth of this place.

Our last day of rest was in Changfeng Town. The name here is Changfeng, which means good harvest all year round. It is the town closest to the main city of Chengdu. It was already late when we arrived here, and Pei Yuanxiu and I used

They all went to rest directly after dinner. Early the next morning, as soon as it was dawn, they got up and freshened up. When they walked out of the inn, those people were already waiting beside the carriage.

When I got on the carriage, my foot slipped. Pei Yuanxiu didn't say anything and carefully helped me get on the carriage.

After the two people were seated, the coachman outside asked, raised his whip, and the carriage drove forward.

In the carriage, it was still calm.

Along the way, I spoke less and less, and in the past two days I had almost stopped talking. However, Pei Yuanxiu didn't mind at all and just sat quietly with me.

But today, he and I are both the same, obviously a little unable to calm down.

Even if I didn't say it, he knew clearly by his own estimation that we would enter the city today.

The carriage drove for a while, and the carriage became more and more silent. After doing this for a while, he reached out to lift the curtain and looked outside. The carriage had reached the entrance of the town. When the pedestrians on both sides of the road saw our group of people, they all retreated one after another.

Open.

At this time, a flag flashed in front of my eyes.

I saw at a glance that there was a huge word "iron" on the flag.

It’s Tiejia Bank!

I suddenly felt a sudden heartbeat, and subconsciously reached out to touch my chest. Pei Yuanxiu immediately turned his head to look at me, and said softly: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"..." I was speechless for a moment, I just gently grabbed the skirt of my chest.

He saw that my face was a little pale, and he thought I was nervous because I was getting closer and closer to Chengdu and the Yan family, so he moved over and hugged me gently, saying softly: "Don't be nervous.

There’s nothing to be afraid of.”

"..."

"Remember, I'm here."

My fingers were still pinching the hem of my clothes almost convulsively, causing some pain in my palms, but I raised my head and looked into his gentle eyes, and finally nodded: "Yes."

I didn't say anything, the flag just flashed by and was quickly forgotten by us.

The carriage kept moving forward. After the hour passed, our carriage slowly stopped after traveling very fast for a period of time.

There was a lot of people around, and it didn’t seem like an ordinary inn.

I turned my mind, turned sideways, and gently lifted the curtain on the side. What I saw at a glance was a towering city wall!

The gray-black city wall stands in front of you with traces of wind, frost, rain and snow. It has a special kind of thickness. Just one look at it will make people breathless. On both sides of the city gate, guards are about to come to ask, leaving him.

The nearest man in white said expressionlessly: "Miss, go back to the city!"

This sentence was not said loudly, and it was quickly lost in the roar of people around it.

However, it is like a curse.

Immediately, everyone around me held their breath and fell silent. They all looked at our carriage with wide eyes in disbelief. The guard who came to inquire raised his head and met me directly as he lifted the curtain and looked out at me.

Looking at it, he immediately knelt down.

A rushing sound was heard, and all the city guards knelt down in an instant.
Chapter completed!
