On the official road, a team of cars and horses roared by, setting off a puff of dust and yellow sand.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the imperial capital, the day was rapidly darkening, and black clouds were pressing down on the city.

The air was a little stuffy, the same stuffiness as before the rain, and the air seemed to stop flowing.

The sound of rolling carriages and the sound of kicking hooves marched in rhythm, as if in a race against time to get into the city before the rainstorm.

With a "bang", the downpour came as promised, the lightning flashed and thundered, and everyone could only stop moving forward.

"Dad, it's raining too much, it doesn't seem to stop for a while, let's find a place to wait for the rain to stop!" The man rode up to the leader's side and raised his voice slightly.

The rain poured down on him, seeping into his clothes, and small drops began to drip from the hem of his clothes.

It stands to reason that the cold will invade his body, but he doesn't seem to notice the cold, and his body is still straight.

The leader looked back at the carriage in the middle of the procession, and the rain was falling on the roof of the carriage with a loud sound like gravel falling to the ground.

"Xian'er, go ahead first and see if there is a place to stay around?" The leading man's voice was deep, and his tone was non-deniable with a hint of command.

In the carriage in the middle of the procession, the woman hugged the woman in her arms tightly, her face was full of sorrow, her eyes were red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had been crying for a long time.

She lowered her head and looked at the woman in her arms, and there seemed to be another layer of mist in her eyes, about to condense into tears, about to drip down.

The woman's face in her arms was pale, her lips were colorless, her eyes were closed, her eyelids trembled slightly, and her temples were sweating from time to time, which showed that she was not sleeping peacefully.

"My poor child......" the woman muttered with a sob.

After a while, the carriage and horse moved slowly again, stopping at a small inn beside the official road ahead.

At this time, the innkeeper who heard the voice walked out with an umbrella and smiled happily, "Ladies and gentlemen, please inside, please inside." ”

He glanced at the carriage and horses behind him, and felt that there were too many guests, and he was afraid that the hospitality would not be good, so he immediately turned around and called into the inn, "Ah Qin, come out, there are guests!" ”

"It's coming, it's coming." A virtuous woman walked out of it and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please, although the small inn looks a little shabby on the outside, but there are other inns inside, we will not be less, we will definitely let you live comfortably."

The leading man first glanced at the two of them a few times, then glanced at the inn in front of him, and then looked at his son on the side, "Xian'er, bring your mother and Luoluo in." ”

When the words fell, he walked straight in, without the slightest hesitation, like an emotionless person.

Yuan Xian looked at his father's back and sighed secretly, he looked back at the carriage before walking over.

"Mother, it's raining too much, let's rest here for one night, and then set off back to the imperial capital tomorrow!" Yuan Xian stood beside the carriage with an umbrella and said softly.

Soon after the words fell, the curtain of the car was lifted from the inside, and the woman first glanced around before looking at her son, "Where's your father?" ”

"Dad will go in first to arrange a room for you and Luoluo, so let's go directly to the room to rest later."

As he spoke, he helped Pei Shi get out of the carriage, handed her the umbrella in his hand, and then leaned into the car and picked up the unconscious woman.

Pei Shi smiled bitterly, "Why does Xian'er have to defend your father, who is your father, how can I not know?" ”

Although she and Yuan Kai are the words of their parents, they are just a family marriage after all.

Over the years, no matter how good she is to him, what she gets is always a cold face.

Yuan Kai is a person, and what he values is always the power in his hands......

When Yuan Xian walked into the inn with his sister and Pei Shi together, there were only a dozen soldiers in the lobby, and he didn't see the majestic figure.

Seeing that they were looking around, the little soldier sitting next to him said, "The major general is looking for the general?" The general just said that he was tired, so he went back to his room to rest. ”

Tired? Although the road is long, how can a general guarding the border be so easily tired? Who will believe this?

Yuan Xian knew it in his heart, but since his father said so to the outside world, it was not good to say anything.

He turned his head to look at his mother beside him, "Mother, the child wants to take Luoluo to the room to rest, and he has been running around all day, you can go eat something first!" ”

Pei Shi saw that the woman in his arms was sleeping a little more peacefully, so he nodded and told him to be careful.

Yuan Xian looked at the innkeeper and said lightly, "Where is the room?" ”

The boss hurriedly smiled and showed him the way, and Pei Shi watched them enter the room on the second floor before retracting his gaze.

At this moment, Ah Qin happened to come out of the stove room, still holding one or two side dishes in his hand, and was about to send them to the room on the second floor.

She saw Pei standing alone in the lobby, with a slightly gloomy back, so she walked straight over.

"Madame, would you like to go upstairs and dine with the adult?" She smiled gently and harmlessly.

Pei Shi looked at the side dish in her hand, then raised his eyes and looked at her quietly for a few seconds before shaking his head.

"No need, you can just send it to him!"

Ah Qinhu looked at her suspiciously a few times, then nodded and turned around and walked up, thinking as she walked, she had just heard that these two were husband and wife, how could they be like people......

In Yuan Kai's room on the second floor, Ah Qin put down the side dishes and retreated directly.

At this moment, the aroma of the side dishes on the dining table slowly climbed into the air, floating to the mouth and nose of the person sitting on the edge of the bed with his eyes closed.

The man slowly opened his eyes, with a bit of sharpness in his eyes, and he looked at the void for a moment before he raised his hand and pressed his temples a few times, got up and walked to the dining table.

An hour later, Ah Qin thought that the adult should finish his meal, so he went upstairs to clean up the dishes.

She knocked on the door for a few moments before gently pushing it open and stepping inside.

At the moment, the house was empty......

……

There was a bamboo forest behind the inn, and Yuan Kai, who was supposed to rest in the inn room, appeared in the bamboo forest at this moment.

His eyebrows were cold, staring at the back in front of him, and the strength of the knife in his hand increased unconsciously.

"Who are you? Since you specially brought me here, why don't you turn around and see you calmly? ”

Yuan Kai looked at the figure in front of him and slowly turned around, now that the rain was a little lighter, in the haze, he saw that the person had a mask on his face.

The shape of the mask resembles a bat.

"General Yuan Kai is unharmed, it seems that in the past few years on the border, the general has lived a really stable life." A slightly magnetic voice that belonged to the man came from the rain.

"Your Excellency knows me?" Yuan Kai carefully studied the behavior of the comer.

His voice is not rich, his age should not be big, his gestures are extremely elegant, and his temperament is as soft as a spring breeze.

But Yuan Kai didn't forget the fight in the room just now.

This man, the force is above him......
