After Old Man Ma left, we talked for a while, and Yan Qingchen left halfway.

Because, he needs to go back to the medicine.

Seeing that he collapsed in a wheelchair in the end, sweating profusely, and even looked at me worried, but couldn't even say words of comfort, I just felt like a knife.

This time, whether it is for me, for him, for the Yan family, or for the forces of any other party, even if it is really righteous and stern, it is for those hundreds of millions of people, I can't let my weakness defeat me again.

Everyone had a hasty lunch, and although I had no appetite, I stuffed a lot of stuff into my mouth, forced myself to swallow, and then took a nap.

In the afternoon, the sun was a little thicker outside.

The earth had been sunburned all morning, and the ground seemed to be baked red, but just standing on the stone road, I could feel the scorching temperature coming through the soles of my shoes, and the stuffy feeling spread all the way to my heart.

I stood under the eaves and exhaled slightly.

Su Su immediately held an umbrella over my head, and whispered "Miss, don't get heat stroke", I smiled and nodded, and walked out with her, just walked to the gate of the yard, and saw Aunt Hong scolding there again, or the boy in the morning, was picking up the corner of the alley, and when he saw us coming out, his eyes lit up.

Although I was in a heavy mood, I couldn't help but smile at this time: "Aunt Hong, why are you scolding again?" ”

Aunt Hong said angrily: "A few leather monkeys, the eldest lady finally rested for a while at noon, and they just wanted to come and make trouble." ”

"Troublemaker? What's the mess? ”

"No matter what mess he makes, it's not okay to rest towards the eldest lady!" Aunt Hong said angrily: "There are so many big things to deal with, this afternoon, I don't know what to do!" ”

I didn't speak, just sighed softly, and when I saw that Aunt Hong was still scolding, I said, "Don't be too fierce about them", and Aunt Hong scolded and threw away her hand and accompanied me to the ancestral hall.

At this time, many villagers have arrived, everyone is still standing in the open field on the periphery, and in the center of the courtyard, the wooden pillars are still firmly rooted on the ground, there is no trace of wind in the air, and the white veil as thin as smoke hangs heavily around it, as if it has also been sunburned and weak, and it can't float.

But there were no fewer people than in the morning.

Even, Yan Gang and Xue Qian were already sitting there.

I was a little surprised, I thought that Xue Qian would not be able to support it, but I didn't expect her to appear, but her pale face without a trace of blood exposed her weakness, and even when I looked up and saw Wei Yang behind me, that weakness was more like being sunburned by the sun, revealing from the corners of my eyes and eyebrows.

Looking at her like this, it was like looking at myself.

All the scars of the years are clearly placed on the face, and they are seen by others, and anyone who wants to hurt himself is just sending the knife in his hand forward.

Then, I saw Pei Yuanxiu behind them.

In the morning, he was still in the crowd, but now, he was already sitting next to Yan Gang and them, it seemed that Yan Qingchen really did not guess wrong, Xue Qian was afraid that it would be impossible to do anything today, of course they wanted to push this person out.

Su Su stood beside me and immediately felt my breath suffocating.

She whispered softly in my ear, "Miss......"

I glanced back at her, and both she and Aunt Hong looked at me worriedly, obviously worried that I would be struck down by the weakness of my heart, just as I had in the morning.

I gave them a faint smile and said with my eyes: Don't worry.

Then, I walked over slowly, found my chair, and sat down with the armrests on my hand.

People have arrived one after another.

Yan Qingchen was the last to arrive, his face was frighteningly pale, as if he didn't even have the strength to look at people, he sat there paralyzed, and only nodded lightly when he looked at me.

Then, he looked around, frowning slightly.

I also took a look around, and immediately noticed that Old Man Ma had not come.

Why hasn't he come yet? At noon, Qingchen told him that we still need him to sit here this afternoon, but he hasn't arrived yet.

Could it be that things are really so tricky in the back mountains and pine forests? But Yan Gang, Yan Zicong, and even Pei Yuanxiu himself are all here, and none of them are absent, so what did they arrange in the back mountains and pine forests to delay Old Man Ma until now?

Thinking of this, I suddenly had a little headache, and when I raised my head, Yan Zicong and they seemed to see through what I was thinking, and a smug smile appeared on their faces.

My mood is a little heavier.

At this time, everyone had already sat down, and even the villagers who came to accompany us to worship our ancestors in the morning were all around one by one, so many people, but there was no noise at all, all of them had solemn expressions, and they also looked at us with a little nervous expression.

The sun is a little hotter.

When everyone arrived in their own positions, at this time, Yan Gang glanced at Yan Zicong next to him, who immediately stood up and raised a hand, and suddenly, everyone's eyes focused on him.

He said: "This morning, we have made it clear that Pei's lack of morality has caused misery to the lives of the people, and the people have suffered a lot. The Yan family decided to pour the power of Xichuan to help the rebels and overthrow the rule of the Pei family! ”

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately became tense.

At this time, Yan Qingchen smiled faintly, his voice was not loud, but when Yan Zicong's words were finished, almost everyone's eyes subconsciously fell on him, but it was not too difficult, he raised his head and said with a pale smile: "I, the head of the family, haven't spoken yet." ”

Yan Zicong's face suddenly froze.

But he immediately laughed and said, "The head of the family, the head of the family is unwell, so you don't have to worry about these little things." ”

Yan Qingchen also smiled: "I can't help but worry, the Yan family and Xichuan were handed over to me by my father, and I can't watch it being buried by some people." ”

"Buried?"

This time, Yan Gang spoke: "Why do you say this? ”

Yan Qingchen said: "I listened to every sentence you said before, and I remembered every sentence. You said that the princes and nobles in various places began to raise troops, so they asked Xichuan to follow them to raise troops against the imperial court. But I want to ask you, why did they raise an army against their own court? ”

"Hahahaha," Yan Qingchen's words seemed to be right on his appetite, Yan Gang immediately laughed, and then said, "The head of the family asked a good question, and it is exactly what I wanted to say." That's right, those princes and nobles are all the emperor's own people, and even his subjects have to rebel against him, can't it be proved that he is a kingless king? We in Xichuan have been raising troops for a thousand days, shouldn't we send troops to fight on such days? ”

Listening to his generous statement, Yan Qingchen smiled faintly: "Uncle's words are very interesting." ”

“……”

"But I still want to ask, why are those people against him?"

“……”

"Does the fact that his courtiers oppose him prove that he is a king-deed?"

At this moment, a voice that was so calm that there was no trace of undulation sounded: "Isn't it? ”

As soon as this voice sounded, it was obviously a hot day, as if a cool breeze suddenly blew in my heart, I raised my head and saw Pei Yuanxiu slowly standing up from his seat.

Yan Qingchen looked at him unexpectedly, and the corners of his mouth smiled: "It's you?" ”

"Yan Gongzi."

He bowed to him gently, and his gestures were still graceful, even if he appeared in this small mountain village, it was like being on top of a temple, without damaging the elegant aura on his body, I could hear the voices of many people sighing behind him and around, and even some people's eyes could not take their eyes off him.

Everyone whispered and talked about it.

"Who is he?"

"I don't know, it seems that I came with Mrs. Yan."

"The Yan family doesn't seem to have this person......"

……

Just when everyone was talking, Yan Feibai, who was sitting next to me, frowned: "You--it's someone from the Yan family who is here to discuss important matters today, why does an outsider appear?" ”

Yan Yong immediately said: "If you want to say that, there is more than one outsider who came today!" ”

After speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Wei Yang's body, he was very calm, and he was not angry at all about the word "outsider", he only raised his eyebrows, and looked left and right: "Say me?" ”

Yan Yong glanced at him, but it didn't seem like it was good to offend him directly, so he only snorted coldly.

Yan Feibai immediately said: "Wei Yang came back to worship his ancestors for his mother!" His mother's surname is Yan, but you-"

Before he finished his words, Yan Gang immediately said coldly: "What about the surname Yan?" When a woman marries, she is someone else's family, and she is an outsider after all. ”

I immediately saw Yan Ruoyu beside me turn pale.

Yan Gang said again: "If you want to ask who he is, why don't you just ask the eldest lady of the Yan family next to you?" ”

At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on me again.

……

My breath was suffocated for a moment, but when his eyes fell on me, I used a little force on my two hands holding the armrest, and then stood up.

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu also turned around and faced me.

Since that night, the two of us have not faced each other like this, just a few days of hard work, of course it is impossible for people to change too much, but in my eyes, he really looks like another person, although he is still so handsome, still so graceful, but there is always something, faintly make me feel that he is no longer the original him.

Of course, I'm not the same person I was.
