She looked at me and said slowly, "Pei Yuanxiu, and that Liu Qinghan, what do you think?"

“……”

I didn't speak immediately, but after a moment of silence, I looked up at her and said softly, "What does Mother think?"

She smiled faintly, and then said, "I, I'm not the same as your mother." ”

“…… I heard from my mother. ”

"I can't think about it so much, I'm a mother, I just know that my children can't be wronged. ”

“……”

"My daughter should be held, spoiled, safe, and prosperous, and it is best to live a rich and noble life. ”

When she said this, she sighed lightly, and then said: "I am willing to cooperate with that Pei Yuanxiu, first, what he wants to do is-, it used to be what your father wanted to do, and I hope to complete this;

My nose was sour, and my voice was astringent: "Mother......"

"As for that Liu Qinghan," she said here, a look of displeasure appeared on her face, and she said, "I have already inquired about your affairs more or less. ”

“……”

"I can't get used to him! Is the daughter of our Yan family missing an arm or a leg? He is much more noble than him, what is he? Why should he say that he wants it, and if he says he doesn't want it, he doesn't want it! Are you stupid?"

“……”

I was stunned by her reprimand, and for a while, somehow, I laughed all at once.

I laughed, she suddenly became so angry that her face sank, and she couldn't slow down her breath and coughed, I hurriedly got up to help her, reached behind her and wiped it down to help her smooth her breath, she coughed for a while, her face turned red, and she barely recovered.

I sat back on the edge of the bed, saw her panting, glaring at me with tears in her eyes, and said indignantly: "I know, you can't listen to my words!"

"Mother's ......"

"Anyway, now, that Liu Qinghan is also rich and powerful, I have to take care of it, and I can't control you. ”

I wanted to laugh again, but I didn't dare to laugh, so I continued to reach out to help her breathe, but she reached out and grabbed my wrist, although she didn't have much strength, but I was still shocked by this grab.

I raised my head to look at her, and Xue Qian looked straight into my eyes, as if to see the deepest part: "But there are some words, even if no one says them, you should be able to figure out the stakes yourself." ”

“……”

"Are you still hesitating, don't you want to kill that Pei Yuanxiu?"

“……”

"Not to mention the matter between you and Liu Qinghan, what will happen if he is alive, just say that now that this matter has come to this point, it is impossible for Xichuan and Jinling to cooperate, then Pei Yuanxiu must die!"

“……”

"If you don't kill him, it's a woe after all. ”

“……”

"Moreover, there are endless troubles!"

My heart fluttered.

After saying those words, Xue Qian coughed a few more times, and the whole person bent down, the shoulder blades behind her towered high, making her so skinny, my heart was heavy, but also more and more uncomfortable, especially after listening to what she had just planned for me, it made me feel more and more sad.

In just a while, three people sued me and killed Pei Yuanxiu!

It's not that I'm not mentally prepared for this result, but when I really hear it, when I think about it, I still can't hold back the panic and helplessness in my heart.

Does he really have to die......?

Probably seeing the hesitation in my eyes and the entanglement in my heart, Xue Qian's hand that grabbed my wrist used a little more force, and said: "He is a person, the city is too deep, if you don't take advantage of the time when you have caught him now, in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult for thousands of troops to deal with him." Although I wanted to work with him before, I didn't dare to trust him at all, and he couldn't be trusted at all. ”

“……”

He also told me that this time he came to Xichuan for two purposes, one purpose was to promote cooperation with Jinling and Xichuan, and I asked him what the second purpose was, but he refused to say. ”

"Second purpose?"

My eyebrows frowned slightly: "Does he still want to do anything in Xichuan?"

Xue Qian said: "If such a person wants to plot something, it will definitely not be a trivial matter." You know, he himself admitted, when he first came to Xichuan with you, he had already thought about it so much, at that time, who would have thought that he would have such thoughts?"

When she said this, she suddenly reminded me that the first time, when I took Pei Yuanxiu back to Xichuan, the big event that happened - Yan Qinghan made the matter of the Franc machine cannon public to the world, so I later went to sea for the sake of wonderful words, and the experience of nine deaths on the sea and Tianquan Island.

But in the end, the result we got was that the Iron Mask King went to sea not to hide the Franco's cannon, but to destroy the source of the cannon and prevent such a thing from happening again.

In other words, there is a great possibility that real artillery will remain in the world!

Now, the Central Plains has fallen into the flames of war, and Pei Yuanxiu's ability to personally venture into Sichuan proves that he attaches great importance to the integration of the forces of the two sides, so that he can have a greater chance of winning, but this qiē is probably not as good as a batch of weapons that can achieve victory in the war!

Could it be that Pei Yuanxiu's second purpose of entering Sichuan this time is -

I shuddered.

But after thinking about it, I also hesitated, the hiding of the Franc machine artillery was more than ten years ago, and I didn't even get more valuable clues when I went to sea once, Pei Yuanxiu just wanted to come back to find it, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, it was almost impossible.

It's just that, apart from this, I can't think of any important purpose for him.

My brow furrowed slightly.

At this time, Aunt Hong pushed the door in, still holding a bowl of steaming medicinal juice in her hand, and just walked over, the smell rushed to our noses, and as soon as Xue Qian smelled it, her eyebrows immediately twisted into a pimple.

Aunt Hong said, "Madam, it's time to drink the medicine." ”

"Didn't I just drink it?"

"That's just now, this dose is for you to sweat. ”

"What am I doing with good sweat?"

"Sweat to get a good night's sleep. ”

"I don't—"

Speaking of which, I have seen Xue Qian since I was a child, and after so many years of twists and turns, I rarely had the opportunity to be close to her like this, only to find that although she has grown so old, she is really just a child in her heart, and she is afraid of hardship and does not take medicine. Aunt Hong was also furrowed by her appearance, and she couldn't say anything, so she could only turn her head to look at me.

I reached out and grabbed Xue Qian's wrist: "Mother, ......"

I put the word "adult" a little more seriously, she listened to my words, and suddenly didn't want to say anything, seeing Aunt Hong send the bowl of muddy soup to her, her face was more bitter than the medicine.

She muttered twice, and finally said softly, "You!"

Then, taking the bowl, he drank it with a clatter.

I wanted to laugh more and more, especially when I saw that her eyes and nose were wrinkled after drinking, but I finally held back my laughter, and then helped her lie down, and said softly: "Mother, I am also tired for a day today, so let's have a good rest." ”

Although she fell asleep, her eyes were still bright, staring at me: "You understood what I just said?"

“…… Heard it. ”

“……”

"Mother, rest first, and then talk about these things when she is mentally well. ”

"Light, I can tell you, the night is long and dreamy!"

These four words were like a few pinpricks, slightly pricked in my heart, at first there was no reaction, until I put down the curtain for her, blew out the candle on the table, and walked out to face the dark night outside, the pain in my heart slowly floated.

Nights are long...... Dream of ......

How long will this night be, and how many dreams will there be?

|

I stood at her door for a long time, until the wind became a little cold, and Aunt Hong said softly, "Miss, don't you go back to rest?"

I glanced back at her, didn't say anything, just smiled, and walked down the stairs on my own.

Su Su has been waiting outside, and at this time he hurriedly followed, walked out of Xue Qian's house, and when he walked out, he could still see the busy figures of those people, it was already so late at night, but there was no trace of fatigue on their faces, Old Man Ma had already lifted his spirits, and he was still constantly dispatching troops, commanding people to guard here and there.

But I could tell that he was a little distracted.

In particular, in between every time he talks and does things, it seems that as long as he stops a little, something will come up and drown him like water, so he can only keep himself busy and keep doing things, but in this way, it gives people a feeling of busyness.

I stepped forward: "Old man. ”

He looked back at me and immediately said, "Miss." ”

"The old man has also been busy for a day, and you are the hardest person today, so let's go and rest early. ”

"I'm not tired. ”

“……”

I looked at the wrinkles on his old face, and my throat was a little stumbling for a while, and I didn't know what to say, but the old man Ma looked at me again, and then said, "Miss, don't you rest?"

“……”

I didn't speak, just stood in front of him with a slight frown.

He seemed to feel something, and instead of speaking immediately, he looked down at me for a while, and then said softly, "Is the eldest lady still thinking about that matter?"

“……”

"You don't know, should you kill that person?"

I smiled bitterly, I don't know if it's because of this sentence, I have heard numbness this night, or my thoughts, all written on my face and can be seen at a glance, I raised my head and looked at him: "Old man, do you think-"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand.

"Miss, this decision is not something that the old man can help you make. ”

“……”

"The eldest lady needs to find a better answer on her own. ”

“……”

Hearing his words cleared my originally troubled mind slightly, I thought about it, and then said, "Yes, I should indeed find a better answer." ”

He looked at me, "Where is the eldest lady going to look?"

I said, "Where is he locked up?"
