Chapter 1713: Wen Fengyi - Ran Away!
Yangzhou City has been breached!
This is simply great news for them, not only the 'squire' who came to report has a happy 'color' on his face and eyes, but even when he listens quietly with bated breath at this time, he can hear the cheers coming from the deck outside, and even the 'flower' bamboo they seem to be relieved.

But Pei Yuanxiu's brows frowned imperceptibly.
After a while, he repeated again: "Yangzhou City has been breached?"
"Yes. β
He was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "What about Wen Fengxi?"
The 'guard' was probably just in a hurry to come over to report the good news, but he didn't expect that Pei Yuanxiu was not as ecstatic as everyone thought, in fact, it was indeed very difficult to remain calm and self-contained in such a situation. The 'squire' guard was stunned for a moment before he said, "Here, the news from the shore hasn't come back yet." β
Pei Yuan said: "So, it's just that the city is broken, but Wen Fengxi hasn't caught them yet?"
ββ¦β¦ Be. β
He raised his hand and waved his finger: "According to the original plan, occupy Yangzhou, hold all passes, and don't let anyone go, especially Wen Fengxi!"
ββ¦β¦β
"To live to see a man, to die to see a corpse. β
"Yes!"
The 'squire' guard received the order and immediately turned and went out.
Only then did he turn his head to look at me and said calmly, "Eat quickly, why hasn't your porridge moved yet?"
I didn't hide my miserable white face at this moment, I couldn't hide it, and I didn't need to hide it, although I was coaxed by him softly, but after all, I felt that my chest was suffocated, and I felt uncomfortable even breathing, I put down the dishes and chopsticks in my hand, and said softly: "Yangzhouββ"
He said calmly, "You already knew about our decision, didn't you?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Say no more, eat quickly. β
ββ¦β¦β
After eating a breakfast that tasted the same as chewing wax, in fact, it was not yet dawn outside, he comforted me a few words and left the room, and specially left a message for me to have a good rest, at this time where can I still have the leisure to close my eyes? Soon after he left, I talked to 'Hua' Zhu and went out.
After a while, I saw the light coming through the 'door' of the cabin in front of me, and the mist on the river in the early morning, like a faint cloud of smoke at the mouth of the 'door'.
As soon as I walked to the 'door', I heard Xie Feng's deep voice: "Miss Yan and Wen Fengxi really didn't say anything else. β
"Oh? β
Zai Xia has been staying by their side, only to hear Miss Yan ask Wen Fengxi if she really wants to bear that infamy. β
"Infamy?"
"Yes, Wen Fengxi said that it was us who killed people, not him, so he shouldn't bear the infamy. Even if he really wants to carry it, he will not regret it. β
ββ¦β¦β
I couldn't help but stagnate.
Pei Yuanxiu was also silent for a short moment, and then said, "Except for these, they didn't say anything else?"
"Yes. β
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing him fall silent again, I took a breath and walked out.
At this time, Pei Yuanxiu asked again: "How is the situation in Yangzhou City?"
As soon as he finished saying this, he saw me walking out of the cabin door, and immediately paused, Xie Feng also heard my footsteps, and turned to look at me: "Miss Yan?"
Pei Yuanxiu walked over: "Why did you come out?"
I only glanced at them, and then turned my head to look at Jiangbei, the river and the river bank were in a mess, the tragic scene left after the war was unbearable to witness, I only glanced at them and closed my eyes, and then opened my eyes to look at them: "The city is broken, what are you going to do?"
He reached out and put his arm on my shoulder: "Lightness, these shouldn't be your worries. β
ββ¦β¦β
"It's cold outside, you better go back and rest. β
I stood motionless, his hand pushing me slightly, but I still stood in front of him, my voice so soft that it was almost swallowed up by the wind: "Are you planning to take the next step, to slaughter the city?"
ββ¦β¦β
"No matter whether men or women, old or young, whether they have resisted you or not, as long as they are born in this Yangzhou city, they must fall under your butcher's knife, right?"
His snort was a little heavier, but he was still very patient, and even said gently: "You don't care about these things." When you met Wen Fengxi before, didn't you already accept all this?"
"I-"
Just when I was about to say something, a familiar voice with a little delicate aura sounded next to me again: "Miss Yan, sometimes you don't have to be too embarrassed about Yuan Xiu." β
When I turned my head, it was Han Ruoshi.
She was still the same as before, wrapped in a thick coat, and the fluffy fluffy 'hair' made her little face look more and more thin and fair, and she stood in the bow of the ship in the midst of the war around her, giving people a sense of unexpected cruelty. She said softly: "Before, you asked Yuan Xiu to let go of the people who moved out of the city, Yuan Xiu has already done it, do you want him to let go of everyone in the city today?"
I looked at her, "Why not?"
ββ¦β¦β
"What did the people in the city do wrong? Why do they still want to die when Yangzhou City has already been captured?"
Han Ruoshi seemed to sneer: "Yangzhou City has been captured, but who is the heart of Yangzhou City directed towards?"
ββ¦β¦β
"It's better to do it once and for all. Anyway, as long as the city is built, there is no fear that no one will come to live in the future. β
I couldn't believe my ears, and I stared at her with chills all over my body: "You-"
She looked at my pale face, glanced at Pei Yuanxiu next to her, took a step forward with a smile, and said softly: "It stands to reason that men's affairs should not be taken care of by our 'women', but I still have to ask, Miss Yan, if it were you and you had come this far, wouldn't you slaughter the city?"
I almost heard the Arabian Nights: "Of course I won't!"
She immediately laughed: "Oh, I forgot, probably, Miss Yan and we are not the same kind of people. β
She added the word "we" extraordinarily, Pei Yuanxiu's breathing on the side was heavy, and Han Ruoshi smiled again and continued: "Or else, Miss Yan, you haven't thought about Yuan Xiu from beginning to end. All you think about is the comfort of strangers, people who may not have spoken to you yet, but you don't want to think about what the person next to you wants. β
As she spoke, her eyes twinkled, she looked at us with a smile.
This time, my brow furrowed.
I can feel that her words are 'provoking' me, and even more 'provoking' Pei Yuanxiu, if it is still in the harem as before, or in the courtyard of the deep house, I will probably refute two sentences, but now is not the time to stand on the bow of the boat with a 'woman' to "fight for the wind and be jealous", Yangzhou City has been broken, and all passes are also controlled by them, if Pei Yuanxiu really wants to fulfill what he said, then the next step, he will-
At this moment, a group of people hurriedly ran up from the stairs under the boat, and the leader of them came over and bowed to Pei Yuanxiu: "Childe." β
Pei Yuanxiu immediately turned his head to look at him: "How?"
"Wen Fengxi - ran away. β
"What?!"
All the people on the deck were taken aback, Pei Yuanxiu frowned even more, and he stepped forward: "What's the matter?"
The man hurriedly said: "Our people have finally found out in the city, just this morning, when Yangzhou City has not been breached, Wen Fengxi left from the north 'gate' of Yangzhou City with his 'elite' troops. β
ββ¦β¦β
"The rest of the city are actually old and weak soldiers. β
ββ¦β¦β
"That's why we broke through Yangzhou City in such a short period of time. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Those people are probably not angry, so just now we went to check, and they all said it. β
There was no sound on the deck for a moment, and everyone fell silent.
Xie Feng and Pei Yuanxiu were obviously a little surprised, they glanced at each other, and then subconsciously glanced at me.
I was surprised and said, "Wen Fengxi escaped?"
The two of them didn't speak, they looked away from my face and looked at each other again.
I was also surprised and said, "How could he have fled? How could he have left the people of Yangzhou City and fled? Are you 'mistaken'?"
The man looked up at me and didn't speak, but his eyes said it all.
This time, even I was silent and didn't speak, and all that was left on deck was the sound of the wind blowing.
After a long while, Han Ruoshi let out a sneer: "Hmph, it turns out that this is the guard sent to Yangzhou by the imperial court, I thought he was a hero with many iron bones, but he was actually a bad seed who escaped from the battle!"
She laughed as she spoke.
I glared at her fiercely, but didn't speak, tilting my face to the side.
Where they couldn't see, I gently pinched the corner of my skirt, and a pinprick-like stinging pain came from my injured finger, but the biggest stone fell from my heart.
At this moment, Pei Yuanxiu spoke: "Send someone to track down immediately, where did he go." If he was heading north, then his whereabouts should be known. β
Xie Feng nodded and said, "Yes." β
Next, Pei Yuanxiu walked to the bow of the boat, held the fence with one hand, looked at the already disastrous riverbank, and said slowly: "Start the boat, dock!"
At the sound of an order, the ship immediately began to sail towards Jiangbei.
The wide river originally seemed like an insurmountable chasm, separating Yangzhou and Jinling, but this time, the ship was like a sharp sword, piercing this barrier, and our ship moved forward quickly, and soon sailed to the north of the river and began to dock.
At this moment, I felt a little cold on my face, and a little cold.
The gray sky began to rain.
The cold raindrops soon became dense, and a silver-gray 'colored' rain curtain was formed in front of me, almost everything became 'foggy' and 'cloudy', and the cold raindrops splashed on my face, and even the bone-chilling cold penetrated my clothes, freezing my blood into ice.
Each of us had an umbrella held up above our heads, but the feeling of shaking in the wind and rain still made me tremble.
I looked at Pei Yuanxiu's back, saw him raise his hand, and said in a deep voice-
"Landing on the shore. β
