From Cangzhou to Tianjin, the distance is actually not too far, if you hurry up, you can arrive in one day. Please search to see the most complete!

But we walked for three days.

Pei Yuanxiu and the others deliberately slowed down their pace, and they would stop to rest every few dozen miles, and they would not continue to move forward until the pathfinder came back to report the situation ahead and confirm that everything was normal and there was no danger.

It seems that this place is getting closer and closer to the capital, getting closer and closer to success, and he is becoming more and more cautious.

Of course, there is a reason.

Tianjin City was not taken by them in advance.

From Nangong Lizhu's description of me before, I can find that after Nangong Jinhong fled from the capital, he went all the way south, stayed in many strategic places, and had already contacted and formed an alliance with the local powerful gentry, so he was able to raise troops together in November, and also made Pei Yuanxiu's road to the north smooth, but Tianjin did not seem to be among his stays, and he did not make a difference in this place.

If you think about it, you can also understand that because Tianjin is the acropolis of the capital, such an important strategic place, the emperor must attach great importance to it, and the people sent here are also confidants, and it is impossible to let the powerful gentry run rampant in this place and weaken the control of the imperial court over this place.

However, if you want to talk about Haoqiang, there will be anywhere, and Tianjin City is no exception.

I just don't know if this time, the powerful gentry in Tianjin will be a help or a hindrance to Pei Yuanxiu's process.

In the evening of that day, because the pathfinder in front of us came back late, delaying our time to hurry, and also missing the post station, so we camped in the wilderness.

Although it was camping, it was not too hard, I just had to sit in the carriage and wait for the people to bring me the boiling water and hot meals.

As for Han Zitong, of course she went to Pei Yuanxiu's side.

I faintly saw Han Ruoshi staring at her sister slowly approaching with a wary face, just like a person sitting at home saw a grinning tiger walking into the 'door' with the same expression, poor her still holding a bowl of safe waist in one hand, that taste, I don't know what the bitterness is.

Thinking about it this way, when I look down at the bowl of 'medicine' in my hand, I don't feel bad anymore.

But as soon as he looked up, he saw Xie Feng sitting beside the bonfire on the other side, slowly wiping his long sword with a silk handkerchief.

The flames flickered, shining on his sword, and the snow light was 'shot' back.

He rubbed it very carefully, thinking calmly, without too much emotion, and even without too much warmth, there was a little tenderness in his eyes, as if a man was soothing his beloved lover.

But when he heard the sound of approaching footsteps, that feeling was immediately put away.

He looked up and saw me.

"Miss Yan?"

"Mr. Xie. ”

I walked over slowly, in fact, my belly was not too big, but when a pregnant woman appeared in front of him, he felt as if he was in danger, he brushed the sword back into the sheath, and then stood up, but it was me, holding the burden on the side and slowly sitting beside him.

He looked at me vigilantly: "Miss Yan, do you have any orders?"

"I didn't have any orders, it was a little cold, so I came to Mr. Xie's place to roast the fire. Mr. Xie won't dislike me, will he?"

"Don't dare to ......"

As he spoke, I reached out and moved a few of the larger pieces of wood from the campfire, moving the fire a little towards me, and more heat came up around it, making people feel less uncomfortable in the cold, so I thanked me and began to drink the cloudy soup 'medicine' in the bowl one by one.

He didn't say anything, but sat quietly.

After drinking a bowl of 'medicine', and there was no sweets at hand, I looked around a little uncomfortably, but saw him looking up at the sky, his eyes looking a little focused.

I looked up too.

In the evening, the clouds were thick, and the soldiers in the north told us that this was a sign of heavy snowfall, so the cold of this night was not yet falling, and although the snow had not yet fallen, the biting chill had already shown its power, and now, presumably, the clouds in the sky had not dispersed, so the sky was 'overcast' and there was no light for half the day, only the light of the fire in front of us, which reflected a little space.

But his gaze was still very focused, as if he wanted to find something.

I also forgot the bitter taste in my mouth, looked at him for a while, and suddenly said, "Does Mr. Xie know how to watch the stars?"

He looked down at me.

I said, "Mr. Xie's way of looking at the sky is very similar to the people I know who can watch stars." Do you know how to go stargazing?"

He said: "Learning art is not 'fine'. ”

“……”

I looked at him with some surprise.

If he says "yes", or "slightly dabbled", even if he says "'fine' in this way", I will not be surprised, but what he said is - learning art is not 'fine'.

This seems to mean that he specialized in learning this.

can see that he Xie Feng has the aura of a martial artist, and he doesn't look like a stargazer.

However, he didn't seem to notice that there was anything wrong with his words, and slowly raised his head to look at the sky, and I looked at the half of his face illuminated by the firelight, and felt his cheeks sink deeply, compared to the first time I met him in Nishikawa, but in half a year, he also lost weight.

It seems that it is also the result of hard work.

I asked softly, "What do you see?"

He didn't answer me, and looked up for a while before slowly lowering his head and saying with a little tiredness: "I just said that learning art is not 'good'." ”

“……”

"There are too many people, too many things, I can't see through them. ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "If you can't see through it, it's not necessarily a bad thing." ”

He looked down at me, "Oh?

I said: "The stars are in the sky, that is the heavenly machine, people don't often say, the heavenly machine can not be leaked 'dew', if you see too much, see too thoroughly, aren't you afraid of losing your life?"

"Oriju?" A haze suddenly flashed across his face.

This 'gloom' haze came too suddenly, and it was too intense, even the firelight could not illuminate his dark eyes at this moment, and after a while, he heard him say word by word in a deep voice: "Of course it's broken, of course it's broken." ”

“……！”

I looked at him more and more suspiciously.

That's a strange thing to say.

Could it be that what really happened to him, or his side, was "ruined" because of the leaking of the heavenly opportunity?

However, he looks good now, and he doesn't want to lose his life.

Just when I was suspicious in my heart and was about to continue asking, Pei Yuanxiu's voice came from next to me: "What are you talking about?"

Xie Feng and I both seemed to be suddenly awakened, and when we looked back, there was a thick coat hanging on his arm, and he was slowly walking over, Xie Feng hurriedly got up: "Childe." ”

Pei Yuanxiu raised a hand and signaled that he didn't need to move, and only said, "Hurry up early tomorrow morning, and we will arrive in Tianjin soon." ”

"Yes. ”

"Don't you have something important to do?"

“……”

"Go and rest early, don't miss tomorrow. ”

"Yes. ”

I sat on the felt and listened to the conversation between the two of them as if playing a dumb riddle, and after Xie Feng agreed, he didn't say anything more to me, grabbed his long sword and turned away, but Pei Yuanxiu walked over slowly, unfolded the big sword in his hand, and gently draped it on my shoulder.

I whispered, "I'm not cold. ”

He said softly, "You catch a cold so easily. ”

That's right, my current body is not mine.

I sat there carefully with my clothes on my shoulders with both hands, and he sat beside me for a while before he slowly spoke: "You seem to be very interested in Xie Feng." ”

I looked at the flames and said, "I just think he's a funny guy." ”

He was silent for a while, and then said, "You want to know why he is by my side, why he is doing things for me, why he is involved in all this, right?"

I pursed my lips and didn't speak.

Not speaking is naturally a kind of acquiescence.

In fact, my mind is not afraid that he will know, after all, the words have been said so clearly, Yangzhou and Huai'an have also been taken, at this time I have to pretend to be harmless to humans and animals, people will not believe it, and I will feel disgusting.

Pei Yuanxiu said: "I know you are very curious about many things, but there are some things that you better not know." ”

“……”

"There are some people, you better not go close. ”

“……”

I raised my eyebrows slightly and turned my head to look at him, the flames fluttering in his eyes, as if there was some secret hidden behind the burning.

"He's a funny guy, but fun often means danger," he said. ”

Dangerous?

Xie Feng, is he a dangerous person?

I subconsciously frowned, and was about to say something, but Pei Yuanxiu had already stood up, patted his sleeve, and then said, "Okay, you should go back and rest." We're going to be on our way early tomorrow morning, so you have to take care of your spirits. ”

He bent down and held out a hand to me, and I was silent for a moment before he pulled me to my feet and back into the carriage.

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, the 'cloudy' clouds in the sky were even deeper, and I thought it would snow in the middle of the night, but I only heard the north wind that blew all night, and the snow did not fall, but the feeling of black clouds pressing down on the top made people almost breathless.

We staggered on our way.

When I was walking on the road, I heard Cui Jiancheng and Song Xuan, as well as Pei Yuanxiu's horses all around the carriage, and I could also hear the sound of their occasional conversations.

After walking for a while, Cui Jiancheng finally couldn't hold back and whispered, "I think something is wrong." ”

Pei Yuanxiu said: "What's wrong?"

"There is no one on this official road. ”

I lifted the curtain and looked out, Pei Yuanxiu's brows frowned slightly.

In fact, when we approached Cangzhou City before, there was no one on the official road, and there was not even a footprint left on the snow outside the post station.

And now this situation --

Song Xuan said on the side: "Could it be that Tianjin City is also besieged?"

Cui Jiancheng immediately sneered: "Who can trap that city?"

Song Xuan glanced at him and didn't speak.

What he said just now was obviously a little impulsive, if Tianjin City was really besieged, the spies who went to the front to explore the way would have come back to report, since they didn't say it, it would prove that Tianjin City was safe and sound, and it was not invaded by the war.

However, it is indeed strange that there is no one on the official road.

Pei Yuanxiu thought about it and turned his head to look at Xie Feng on the side.

Xie Feng's face was as gloomy as the sky above his head at the moment, his eyes were looking ahead, and he seemed to be thinking about his own affairs all the time, but when Pei Yuanxiu turned his head to look at him, he immediately came back to his senses and said calmly: "The spies don't dare to enter the city, they can only visit outside the city, and there is no danger, so Gongzi just rest assured." ”

Pei Yuan cultivated: "Then you-"

Xie Feng said: "My business, I can decide it when I go." ”

Pei Yuanxiu looked at him for a moment, then turned his head and ordered: "Full speed ahead." ”

The wind blew more and more fiercely.

Although it was not yet midnight, the sky was already overcast as if the sun had set in the evening, the snow on the road was pressed by the horseshoe wheels in front, and the ice slag was everywhere, which also made our road more and more difficult to walk.

It's as quiet as a giant rock.

On the castle tower, there seems to be no guards, only the flags between the battlements are fluttering in the wind, which makes people feel a little lively.

But as he walked, Xie Feng's brows furrowed.

Pei Yuanxiu immediately looked at him: "What's wrong?"

He didn't answer immediately, but frowned and was quiet for a while before he said slowly, "There is no sound." ”

"Huh?"

"There was no sound from the castle tower. ”

“…… What do you mean?"

"Like, there are no people who defend the city. ”

Pei Yuanxiu's eyes widened in astonishment, and the people around him were also shocked, and they all said, "How is it possible?"

"Tianjin is the acropolis of the capital. ”

"How can there be no guards?"

"Could it be that they came up with an empty city plan to deal with us?"

……

When it comes to the empty city plan, everyone's hearts are more or less vigilant.

The battle of Cangzhou, although there were not many casualties, but it really exhausted their mental strength, Tianjin was originally an important town in the north, and it was possible to encounter any stubborn resistance here, so they had to be more careful.

Pei Yuan cultivated: "Then should we stay here?"

Xie Feng shook his head: "My ear power will not be wrong, there are no soldiers and horses around the city tower, and we don't have to worry about being ambushed if we go directly." ”

Speaking of this, his eyes flickered: "I would like to go over and see what kind of plan they have put forward - an empty city plan." ”
