The snow, which had not stopped from the beginning, was still falling one after another, and in a short time both of us were covered with a thin layer of snow.

It was supposed to be cold, but I couldn't feel it at this time.

Probably these days, numbness is my most perceived.

But his hand, although he stayed in the snow longer than me, but his palm was as hot as fire, and it came so clearly through the thick clothes that I even had the illusion that I was going to be burned by his body temperature, but at this time, there was no room to struggle.

After some time, he said, "What's wrong with you?"

“……”

As he spoke, he raised his head again to look at the quiet big room, and a heavy cough could be heard from inside in the distance, looking at his appearance, Tianjin City should have fallen into his hands without objection, and there should not be much surprise to him when he went to the mansion, so he didn't have any extra curiosity about this mansion and the people in this mansion, but instead focused all his attention on me.

He said, "Is it because of what Xie Feng told you?"

“……”

He took a deep breath and said, "Has he already told you that he watches the stars at night and knows that I have at least ten years of great luck and can ascend the throne as emperor." ”

“……”

I couldn't say a word when I saw him, but at this time, the coldness around me and the blazing heat under his palm made me tremble slightly.

And Pei Yuanxiu smiled instead: "Light, are you also a person who has a strange power to 'mess with' the gods?"

“……”

His smile made me slightly stunned.

He said slowly: "You studied under Fu Badai, you shouldn't believe in these things too much. ”

“……”

"Even if the royal family set up that Qin Tianjian, it was just to issue some decrees that the people felt were convincing, who would really believe that God would reveal what heavenly opportunities in the world, if this is the case, if God really corresponds to the changes in the world, wouldn't it become that human will can influence God?"

My throat scowled slightly: "You don't believe me?"

He smiled faintly, "I won't believe it all." ”

“……”

"If I really believe it all, then how dare I move a single soldier so easily before I know the signs of the stars, shouldn't I have watched the stars night and night, and waited for the instructions given to me by heaven?"

“……”

For some reason, I feel that these words seem to give me a little comfort.

Originally, after hearing the news, the general feeling of suffocation in the internal organs was pinched, but after hearing these words, I slowly relaxed a little.

Indeed, at that moment just now, when I heard Xie Feng say that sentence, I was indeed a little demonic.

I ask myself that I am not a person who believes in ghosts and gods, but I believe more in retribution, that there is an inherent fairness in this world, which is as simple but eternal as "planting melons and getting melons and planting beans and getting beans", and there is no need for any 'refined' technical algorithms. The reason why Xie Feng's words just now are so 'chaotic' in my heart is probably because these days, my heart has always been 'chaotic'.

I watched him raise troops from Jinling, almost like a bamboo, all the way to break through Tianjin, the capital is already close at hand, as long as you meet with the soldiers and horses of Shengjing, the overall situation will be decided!

What I'm really afraid of is probably this.

However, his words seemed to show me something, and I looked at him: "Then, when did Xie Feng come to you and tell you about it?"

He was silent for a moment and said, "After you go to sea." ”

“……”

I was slightly stunned, and at this time I seemed to have some reactions.

After meeting Xie Feng, after knowing that Pei Yuanxiu had already begun to plan his great cause, I understood that there were many people and things he hid from me, such as the appearance of Xie Feng, as well as his contact with Nangong Jinhong, including the chess pieces he laid in various places, and now I know that his acquaintance with Xie Feng was when I went to sea.

I silently calculated, but I understood.

He didn't tell me when Xie Feng entered the Central Plains, but if his target was Pei Yuanxiu from the beginning, then it should have been after Pei Yuanxiu occupied Jiangnan and became huge;

Xie Feng should have entered the Central Plains at that time.

It's just that I was there at the time, Liu Qinghan was there, and Yan Qingchen was also there, these forces were 'intertwined' with each other, and they checked and balanced each other, and any rash move would cause unpredictable results, and it was not easy to collude under the noses of so many people.

Therefore, after we left Xichuan and returned to Jinling, and I went to sea immediately after, there was a gap in Pei Yuanxiu's side.

It was at that time that Xie Feng appeared by his side.

He was also told about the signs of this astrological sign.

However, Pei Yuanxiu didn't seem to care.

Seeing that I lowered his head slightly, and couldn't even feel the snow 'flowers' falling on my eyelashes, he sighed softly, lowered his head and blew into my eyes.

I shuddered and looked up at him.

Looking at my somewhat uncertain eyes, he didn't say anything, and the hand holding my arm slowly moved to my hand, only to feel that my fingers had been frozen, and immediately made a gesture to the side.

Immediately, a 'squire' stepped forward and brought an umbrella.

He said, "I asked people to clean up over there and go over first." ”

Since Tianjin has been occupied, any place and anyone in this city belongs to him, and I didn't bother to ask them how to arrange it, so I just gently broke free of his hand and walked forward.

He walked beside me with an umbrella.

The snow was falling, and the surrounding scenery was so white that I could barely look down at the snow and watch my muddy shoes creak as they stepped into the snow step by step.

He walked aside, his steps almost in line with mine.

Neither of them spoke, and the only sound was the sound of the snow falling on the umbrella, and the sound of stepping into the snow under their feet.

I don't know how long it took, he looked down at my drooping eyelashes, sighed, and said, "You shouldn't be such an easily influenced person, could it be that Xie Feng's words really make you so convinced?"

“……”

In fact, at this time, I was more strange.

Not only did he show that he didn't care about those words, but he also came to comfort me.

But there is also a certain conviction and certainty in his comfort.

I thought about it for a while before I realized that what he was convinced of, what he was sure of, was what he did.

It's himself.

He really doesn't have to fully believe in the results of Xie Feng's stargazing, because people like them, if they really want to believe in ghosts and gods, they can't do too many things, and they don't dare to do some things at all;

I lowered my head and said lightly: "Actually, it is useless to say anything so far. ”

He looked at me.

After I took a step, I stopped and looked back at him: "The capital is already in front of your eyes, you only need one step away from getting what you want, you don't have to believe that proverb, you only believe in yourself, and you don't have to prove that proverb, because the person who believes in this proverb will work hard and will help you prove that proverb, right?"

He looked at me for a moment and said, "But you never believed me." ”

“……”

"Until now, the capital is close to our eyes, just one step away, I can take you back to the place where we met, I can put all your troubles behind, and let you live back to the peaceful days you had at the beginning. ”

“……”

"But you never believed me. ”

I laughed miserably: "I believe you or not, what's the matter?"

In his eyes, he has always been confident and determined, and at this moment, there is also a trace of gloom: "If I say that there is you in everything I am sure of, there will be you in the future that I am convinced of." But you don't believe it, doesn't it matter?"

“……”

"Lightness, you never, never believed me!"

The heaviness of his words seemed to be soaked in the aura around me, and I was shrouded in that aura that I couldn't move for a while, but I just watched him hold an umbrella, stepped forward and walked in front of me, and looked down at me: "Why don't you ever believe me? Are the things I did really so unforgivable?"

“……”

"Even if, with one sentence, I decided the life and death of the He family, even if, I agreed with Luo Shi to crush the border troops to encircle Dongzhou, even if, I occupied Jiangnan and used some means...... But what emperor has not done these things? Which person has not used such means to achieve great things? And who does not want to achieve a career?"

He looked up at me and wanted to say something, but directly interrupted me: "Even Liu Qinghan, he has done so many things in Yangzhou, bought people's hearts, and even recruited troops and horses in Xichuan to cultivate his own power, isn't he the same, and wants to create his own career?"

“……”

"Light, my background is in the imperial city, my goal cannot be male ploughing 'female' weaving, sunrise and sunset, if my background determines my goal, it is necessary to take the highest step, say that there must be a life and death between me and Pei Yuanhao;

“……”

"The prerequisite for gaining power is to gain power, and I want to get power, I want to get power, what is wrong with getting power?"
