Chapter 1744

Could it be that Cangzhou is still at war?

Probably because he realized that this sentence had revealed too many things, Pei Yuanxiu said softly: "The two of you have worked hard. . . шщш.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast. However, the matter ahead is urgent, and I will not leave two of them. ”

Song Xuan and the other general immediately came to their senses, and both of them hugged their fists at him and said, "Childe, we will leave." ”

Pei Yuanxiu raised his hand: "Don't send it." ”

As soon as the big 'door' was opened, the wind and snow poured in, blowing a chill on the people, and the two of them quickly walked out, and I took advantage of the 'door' to open when I looked out, and I saw that in addition to the servants leading their horses outside, there was a team of people and horses following them closely, and the sound of horses' hooves just heard was more than these two people, it seemed that they should have followed all the way from Cangzhou, and now they are going back.

In such a place, there are so many people following, which means that this road is not too peaceful.

The door was closed again.

After this little 'interlude', Xie Feng did not continue to accompany me to eat, but was called aside by Pei Yuanxiu, as if he wanted to 'hand' over something, so I sat there silently and enjoyed a large table of dishes.

But after all, I didn't have much appetite, and after eating a little, I put down my chopsticks, and at this time, I happened to see that Xiaolian walking out from the side, and when she saw me sitting there eating, her face immediately became cold, and she seemed to stare at me.

She stood there and said coldly, "Someone." ”

The servant of the pavilion immediately stepped forward, and she ordered: "Madame is a little hungry, you should hurry up and prepare a little food, remember, to be 'fine' a little, not the kind that everyone can eat!"

The servant of the pavilion was puzzled by this sentence, but he quickly agreed.

I originally planned to go back to the room after eating this, but I didn't want to leave at this time, so I sat there and drank half a bowl of soup by myself, and after a while, the servant took the food from the kitchen and sent it over, which was originally going to be sent directly to Han Ruoshi's room, but I sat there and beckoned to him: "You come here." ”

The servant didn't know where to go, but when I spoke, he came at once.

"What does Miss Yan command?"

"What are you eating?"

"Oh, this is a squirrel fish, this is a saltwater duck, and this is a osmanthus 'flower' sugar taro ball......"

I looked at it and nodded: "Interesting, you can also make such an authentic Jinling famous dish here." ”

The servant said with a smile: "I know that the distinguished guests are all from Jinling, so the cooks in the kitchen are specially recruited, just to serve you." ”

"You have a heart. I smiled and said, "By the way, how is your old lady's body?"

The servant didn't know why I suddenly asked about Mrs. Zhang again, but he still hurriedly replied, "Mrs. Zhang is older, and her body is still strong. It's just that in the past two years, the 'spirit' has not been good, and many things have not been asked much. ”

"Oh......"

I nodded.

At this moment, the 'door' on one side was opened, and Xiaolian walked out of it, and said impatiently: "Why haven't you sent it yet-"

Before I finished speaking, I saw the servant standing in front of me with food in his hand, and immediately sank his face: "What are you doing?"

I looked at her and only glanced at her with the corner of my eye: "Who are you asking?"

Xiaolian's face was red and white, and she hurriedly walked over, and the servant also hurriedly said, "Please forgive me, because Miss Yan has something to ask, so the villain is ——。 ”

Xiaolian didn't speak, reached out and took the things, turned around and walked back into the room, and slammed the 'door' shut. I sat where I was, and when I saw the servant's embarrassed look, I didn't pay much attention to it, but smiled, and turned and went upstairs.

As soon as she walked to the corridor on the second floor, she heard the 'door' of that room open again, and Xiaolian threw out all the things she had just brought in, and instructed the servant: "Our lady doesn't want to eat these things." Make another copy as it is. I'll go to the kitchen and watch you guys do it!"

I had already returned to my room, and I saw Xiaolian walking over, and seemed to be glaring at it fiercely.

I shook my head and slowly closed the door.

The wind and snow outside raged all night and did not stop until the next day.

After I got up, I pushed open the window on the second floor and looked out, and I saw a white snowfield outside, the sun was rising, the sun was shining on the snow, flashing with a light purple 'color', it was quiet and beautiful, and I only felt that the world was clean at this time.

However, it didn't take long for me to feel that something was wrong.

Especially after breakfast, I walked out of the big 'gate' of the post house, and saw that the road in front of the 'gate' had accumulated thick snow after a night of wind and snow, and it was so smooth that it seemed to have been 'served' by a plasterer.

This post house is on the official road, and there are a lot of paths next to it, I have walked many times from south to north, from north to south, of course, I have seen the crowding on the official road, but from yesterday, our people came here, to the two generals passed by, and now, it has been so long, there is not even a footprint on the road.

In other words, no one passed by on the official road!

Although I know that when I started a war, it was completely different from usual, and when I passed through Huai'an, Yangzhou, the official road was also sparsely populated, but it was not yet extinct.

But now, on this official road, which was originally not far from Cangzhou, there is a situation where people are inaccessible.

That's not quite right.

Even if it is a war, there should be casualties in the war, and even reinforcements, retreats, and talents.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, looking at the snow in front of me in a daze, at this time, the 'flower' bamboo who had been following me stepped forward and said softly: "Miss Yan, what are you thinking?"

“……”

"It's cold outside, you might as well go in and rest. ”

“……”

I didn't speak, just frowned and glanced at the silent official road outside the post house, and then slowly turned around and returned to the post house.

When I was sitting in my room, I was always listening to the movement outside, and even often opened the window to look down, and there was still a thick snow on the official road, and there was not a single footprint that represented someone passing by.

This is really unusual.

Even, even Pei Yuanxiu's actions became strange.

I remember very clearly that he once agreed with the evil Hou Qi that he would reach the capital in March at the latest, and now it is the end of February, and we have already arrived in Cangzhou, as long as we pass Cangzhou, we will almost open the big 'gate' of Beijing and Tianjin, and it is just around the corner to enter the capital.

But from yesterday to today, he stopped in this inn.

Of course, when he passed by other towns, he would also stop for a while, because those who followed him would have banquets and entertainment, and the two sides would also agree on the transportation of grain and grass, the deployment of troops, etc., although they did not stay as long as in Huai'an, but they still had to meet.

But yesterday, except for that Song Xuan and another general of the Cui family, no one came again, and even those two people came, all in armor.

All kinds of signs show that Cangzhou was not taken down in advance like Huai'an, Xuzhou, and Jining, waiting for him to "take over" in the past, but is still fighting.

This is worth playing.

I passed through so many places before, and those people all took the local area around November, some killed the magistrate, and some directly persuaded them to surrender, which also made Pei Yuanxiu's journey north all the way smooth, and there was almost no obstruction. But Cangzhou, this place is not a military town, and the Cui and Song families started together, how could they take it later than other places?

I was thinking strange when I finally heard a cacophony outside.

My heart moved, so I hurriedly got up and walked to the window, and when I opened the window, I saw a long line outside the post house, and it turned out to be the soldiers who had followed us from Jinling all the way here. A few generals were dispatching, and these soldiers were all fully armed, and the neat procession walked out of the post house and stepped on the quiet official road outside, pointing straight to the north.

It's -

Pei Yuanxiu's soldiers are going to be transferred to Cangzhou?

I suddenly felt even more strange.

Along the way, almost none of the soldiers led by Pei Yuanxiu have moved, after all, there have been people along the way who have opened the big 'gates' of various towns, and his soldiers, I know very well that they are preparing for entering the capital, but now they have only arrived in Cangzhou, and there are two major families, why did he start to dispatch his own soldiers.

What is the situation in Cangzhou City?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was wrong, but standing in this small window, it was not enough for me to see the situation in the distance, I held the window frame with one hand, and my fingers were cold and unconscious by the cold wind outside, but when I saw the team slowly walking away, until it became a slender black line in the line of sight, like a thin snake, there was a "squeak" behind me.

Looking back, the 'door' was pushed open.

Pei Yuanxiu stood at the entrance of the 'door' and saw me standing by the window and looking down at a glance.

My fingers trembled slightly, and I subconsciously let it go, and the wind immediately blew the window shut.

There was a "bang", and it was a little shocking in the room that had suddenly fallen silent, but he didn't say anything, walked over and closed the window a little tighter, and then reached out and grabbed my hand.

I 'pumped' because my hands were completely numb from the cold, and I couldn't 'pump' them back.

He wrapped my hands in the palms of his hands, sighed softly, and 'rubbed' 'rub': "Why don't you take care of yourself so much." You're like this, what should the child do?"

I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I could only stubbornly watch as one of my hands slowly turned from pale to ruddy in the palm of his hand, and my fingertips gradually became conscious.

I bit my lower lip and finally said, "Why don't we go forward?"

He had his head down, still gently breathing into my hand, and at this time his eyelashes fluttered.

He didn't raise his head and said, "Are you in a hurry and want to move forward?"

“……”

"Who do you want to see in Beijing?"
