At this time, a warm big hand gently touched my shoulder, and when I turned my head, it was Pei Yuanxiu sitting on the edge of the 'bed', looking at me and saying, "Don't worry, I sent someone to investigate this matter, no matter what-" He paused slightly: "I'll 'figure it out'." ”

“……”

"Let's drink some 'medicine' first, it's already cold. ”

As he spoke, he scooped up a spoonful of the 'medicine' juice and blew it gently before bringing it to my mouth.

I looked at him with heavy eyes, and felt that his eyes were also very heavy and complicated, the spoon touched the 'lip' petal, and the soup 'medicine' was already cold, I hesitated a little, but still opened my mouth.

The rest of the room breathed a sigh of relief.

I slowly finished drinking the soup 'medicine', and the doctor came up to check my pulse again, and I didn't seem to see anything wrong at present, but I must rest and be warm, otherwise even if it is not a miscarriage, it will be very unfavorable to the child in the future. Zhou Chengyin and the others immediately ordered to go down and add a pot of charcoal to my room.

Pei Yuanxiu got up and handed the bowl to the maid in the back, and Mrs. Zhou immediately came over to greet me and asked the doctor if there was anything else to pay attention to.

At this time, Xie Feng walked to Pei Yuanxiu's side and said a word softly, Pei Yuanxiu glanced at him, and then the two of them turned around and walked outside.

Zhou Chengyin also followed.

I sat at the head of the bed, Mrs. Zhou was babbling something, and while I responded, I looked silently at the figure of those people outside the slightly shaking bead curtain with the corner of my eyes, listening to their voices.

Pei Yuanxiu said: "What must be said now?"

Xie Feng said: "I was at the 'gate' of the city and met Wen Fengxi. ”

"What?!"

Pei Yuanxiu frowned, and said with some astonishment: "You mean-"

Wen Feng came forward and rescued those mobs from Huai'an. ”

"He actually showed up. ”

"yes, I didn't expect it either. We had been tracking him and his team all the way, but there was no trace of him, and we thought they had just disappeared. It turned out that after he left Yangzhou, he did not go north at all. ”

“……”

"If Zai guessed correctly, after he left Yangzhou, he should have hid in that vicinity, and after we left, he followed us all the time. ”

“……”

"So, no matter how much our vanguard team checks, we can't find their whereabouts. ”

Pei Yuanxiu's eyes sank, and he said secretly: "It's dark under the lamp." ”

Xie Feng said: "Yes." ”

My heartbeat also tightened slightly, at this time, I felt a warmth in my hand, and when I looked up, I saw that it was Mrs. Zhou who took the stove handed over by the maid, and two plum 'flower' fragrant cakes had been thrown into it, and now there was a faint warm fragrance, and it was sent to me: "Miss Yan, the doctor has told me, you must not catch a cold again." ”

"Oh, oh......"

I nodded hurriedly, and pricked my ears up to listen to the movement outside.

At this time, Zhou Chengyin said very nervously: "Is it the guard general in Yangzhou? I also heard about him, and now he appeared in Huai'an City, and joined forces with those mobs, did they collude from the beginning?"

As soon as these words came out, Pei Yuanxiu's brows frowned slightly.

But Xie Feng shook his head.

"When you occupied Huai'an, he hadn't left Yangzhou yet, and besides, for such a long time, the 'gates' of Huai'an City were closed, and it was impossible for the news to get out," he said, seemingly glancing at me from the corner of his eye, and then continued: "The reason why he appeared here should be following us;

Pei Yuan said: "How?"

Xie Feng's voice was slightly deep: "I'm worried, he has been watching Huai'an City." ”

"What?!"

At this moment, Zhou Chengyin was taken aback: "He is watching Huai'an City?"

"That's right. ”

Xie Feng said: "Yangzhou and Huai'an are the two major towns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces north of the Yangtze River. ”

"Take Huai'an?" Zhou Chengyin was originally surprised, but at this time, he seemed to be 'provoked', and sneered: "Hmph, it's up to him? Yangzhou is lost, and he dares to come to Huai'an to die? If he wants to come, let him come!"

Xie Feng frowned and said, "This person should not be underestimated. ”

Zhou Chengyin still wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, Xie Feng was also the person who followed Pei Yuanxiu from Jinling closely, and it was not good for the two of them to fight directly, so he swallowed the words in his mouth and turned his head to look at Pei Yuanxiu.

Several wrinkles appeared in Pei Yuanxiu's eyebrows: "You say, he wants to take Huai'an Mansion?"

"That's the guess below. ”

This time, Pei Yuanxiu didn't speak immediately, but stood there with his hands behind his back and fell into deep thought, just at this time, Mrs. Zhou asked me again how I was rescued and whether I was injured, and I didn't want to answer, so I reluctantly said: "I didn't suffer any skin injuries." ”

"But I listened to the city gate, there was a lot of commotion. Look at your sleeve, it's still bloody. ”

"Oh, that's probably what they splashed on me when they were fighting. ”

"Amitabha, Miss Yan is pregnant, but she can't get that blood anymore. ”

"Of course. ”

"Hey, I don't know what to do with the guy they're caught. If you're going to kill him—"

My heart tightened - that's right, Brother Chen!

Although he had just come in from the outside and was still safe and sound when he saw him, he was a captive after all, and Zhou Chengyin hated these mobs the most, so it was difficult to say what they would do to Brother Chen next.

I was secretly thinking about it.

Seeing that my brows were furrowed, Mrs. Zhou said again: "What I am most afraid of now is that your pulse is very dangerous, don't have any more fights and killings to rush you." ”

Just as she finished speaking, Pei Yuanxiu outside suddenly said, "How is the strength of Huai'an now?"

I immediately held my breath and listened to the movement outside.

Zhou Chengyin immediately said: "Don't call him back and forth!"

Xie Feng's face was heavy, obviously disapproving of Zhou Chengyin's overconfident attitude, and turned his head to look at Pei Yuanxiu: "I don't think this matter can be taken lightly." ”

Pei Yuanxiu is also dignified.

After a while, he said, "Then what do you mean—"

Xie Feng said: "If he is coveting Huai'an, then we must at least ensure that Huai'an will not fall into his hands." ”

This time, he seemed to have finally caused Zhou Chengyin to trouble, Zhou Chengyin snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Xie's words are not very clear in the future. Huai'an was still in the hands of the imperial court, but it was taken down by the subordinates. Now that he is a defeated general, but he has followed here with a little remnant force, is it possible that we will have to move our muscles and bones for him again?"

Xie Feng turned his head to look at him and said, "It's not that I want to do anything for him, but this person—I'm worried that he will become a big problem for us." ”

"Confidant, Mr. Xie's words, I'm afraid it's a bit alarmist, right?"

“……”

"Does the control of Huai'an make Mr. Xie feel uneasy?"

Xie Feng was silent for a moment and said, "I didn't want to suspect you, but Wen Fengxi suddenly appeared in Huai'an, this matter is unusual." And Huai'an, as I have just said, is the same as Yangzhou, the two major towns of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces north of the Yangtze River, and it must not-"

"Huai'an is in my hands, I can't lose it!"

Zhou Chengyin's words were already very impatient.

Xie Feng's brows also tightened - he is a very calm person, I rarely see him emotionally 'exposed', and he is still like this at the moment, and he doesn't want to be anxious with this Zhou Chengyin, but the situation obviously makes him not be anxious.

I recalled the look in his eyes when he saw Wen Fengxi leave when he was at the gate of the city just now.

Around that time, he was already suspicious, but he didn't act rashly because of my presence, but now this matter has become a thorn in his heart.

At this time, he turned his head to look at Pei Yuanxiu: "Childe." ”

Pei Yuanxiu was on the side, and he was silent all the time, and only then did he raise his head to look at him.

Xie Feng said: "What do you think?"

Pei Yuanxiu was silent for a while, and then said: "I agree with what you said, Wen Fengxi will not appear in Huai'an for no reason, since he followed us here, he must have some plan." ”

Xie Feng nodded, and Zhou Chengyin was about to be anxious: "Childe-"

"However," Pei Yuanxiu said slowly: "No matter what he does, he can't move our muscles and bones, I think you're right." ”

When Zhou Chengyin heard this, a little smile appeared on his face.

Xie Feng's brows furrowed.

Pei Yuan said: "There is a regular time for us to go north, if we delay here for too long and miss the day agreed with Shengjing, then the big thing will be delayed." ”

Xie Feng didn't speak immediately.

Obviously, he also agrees with Pei Yuanxiu's control of the overall situation, but: "But if you really want to-"

Pei Yuanxiu said: "You just said that Huai'an, like Yangzhou, is the two major towns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces north of the Yangtze River. ”

"That's right. ”

"Yangzhou, it's still in our hands. ”

“……”

"If he wants to make any moves towards Huai'an, in front, there are people from the Zhou family to resist, and in the back, Yangzhou can send troops to check and balance at any time. ”

“……”

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if he really occupies Huai'an......"

“……”

"Huai'an, like Yangzhou before, is a lonely city. ”

“……”

"He can't make any big waves. ”

After he said this, Xie Feng seemed to have nothing to say, from the current overall situation, even if Wen Fengxi really wanted to move Huai'an, it would not be easy to use his troops, not to mention that the whole overall situation was very unfavorable to him now, and if he moved, he would relatively attract the crusade of these people.

Xie Feng finally said, "Okay." ”

Zhou Chengyin let out a breath through his nose.

Seeing that the matter was thus discussed, at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and it was two 'attendants' who came over, and when they saw the three of them standing there, they immediately leaned down and saluted.

As soon as Zhou Chengyin saw them, he immediately said, "Didn't you let you track down the people who killed people at the 'gate' of the government office?
