Li Yan almost didn't go out of the back cabin again, and now, compared to Pei Qing, she has more important things.

Pei Qing didn't get off the boat to do anything again, Li Yan sat upright in the back cabin, sat in a group, hung his head, and formed a group, he looked at her in the front cabin, becoming more and more cautious.

…………

In the west of Lu'an, in the middle of a large area of residences that stretches very widely, there is a particularly majestic and deep house, in the corner of the east side of the house, in a quiet courtyard, the former patriarch of the Pei clan who has just stepped down, Pei Zhenchuan, the third-generation mountain owner of Cloudy Villa, stands under the corridor with a gloomy face, looking at the gloomy sky, and the fine rain, and the mood is the same as this sky.

"Where have the people gone? Did you find out? Pei Zhenchuan's voice was full of anger and impatience.

"Not yet." Lao Zhang, the confidant and steward who had been with him for almost his whole life, bowed his hand, and his tone was full of guilt.

"Little Seventeen is scheming, cunning and scheming, and the manpower on the mountain is stronger than ours, so we can't find out, and we can't blame them for not doing their best." Pei An, his nephew who was standing on the other side with his hands down, leaned over and broke down a sentence for Lao Zhang.

"A message has been sent from the capital...... You say. After Pei Zhenchuan said half a sentence, he was very irritable and impatient, and ordered Lao Zhang.

"Yes." Lao Zhang lowered his hand and agreed, "Just now a message came from the capital, saying that Zhou Rui took something and went to our capital mansion to hand over the things to Chen Yanfeng and Chen Ye, Chen Yanfeng Chen Ye took the things and went out, and returned in the evening." ”

"The fire in Lijiahouhu?" Pei An reacted extremely quickly, Pei Zhenchuan sighed, "Since the stone house collapsed, things have been one after another, and now ......" Pei Zhenchuan paused, looking up at the rain in the sky, "The thing that the ancestor said is here." ”

"Little Seventeen......" Although Pei An had already thought of it, but now that he heard it from the mouth of the sixth uncle, he was really sure, and his hands and feet were still slightly cold. Didn't deliver the letter...... Did you hand it to the patriarch, and the nephew said that it was handed to the uncle? ”

"Him?" Pei Zhenchuan snorted coldly, sneering, he looked down on him, among the generations of mountain masters, he relied on a little luck, at the beginning, if he wasn't full of selfishness and only thought about himself, if he listened to him, why would there be today's situation!

"I don't look down on him, and Little Seventeen even can't look down on him, Little Seventeen...... Alas! Pei Zhenchuan sighed, Xiao Seventeen was too scheming, and there was always the old man who took over the villa from the hands of the ancestor behind him, Xiao Seventeen didn't take him seriously, let alone be afraid of him, he ...... Xiao Seventeen He couldn't grasp him, he couldn't even guess what he was thinking, what he was going to do......

"Is there any letter in Yangzhou City?" Pei Zhenchuan looked at Pei An.

"The fire in the White Horse Temple was originally an opportunity, but," Pei An paused, "If the position of Shao Cong's prince is abolished, then the capital will have to be replaced by a ......."

"Idiot!" Pei Zhenchuan snorted angrily, "Shao Cong is now in the capital, what is the difference between there and not?" What's the use of him entangled in the name of the son of the world and not the son of the world? Didn't I let you tell him that the most important thing now is to grab the entire Huainan Road in his hands? Grab the end of the cloud villa in your hands? ”

"Huainan Road, on the surface, is in his hands, but as long as Shao Cong does not die, as long as he is still in the position of the son of the world, the hearts of the people of Huainan Road will ......" Pei An is three points uneasy, seven points helpless, this is the words of the second master Shao Qi, this is not wrong, Shao Cong is leaning on the Yuan family behind his back, so far in the capital, it seems that everything is going well, and he will really return to Huainan Road one day...... Who can say for sure?

Pei Zhenchuan slanted at Pei An with a look of disdain, as if Pei An was Shao Qi. Pei An, who was looking straight at the words, couldn't go on.

"Just one word, stupid!" Pei Zhenchuan squeezed out a stupid word from between his teeth, and Pei An smiled bitterly with embarrassment. "Don't check Xiao Seventeen's whereabouts again, don't waste manpower on this, you pack up and set off for a trip to the capital, first, carefully check Xiao Seventeen, and the fool's affairs in the capital, check every word and deed, the more carefully, the better, second, Yun Mengze's ...... Forget it, you don't care about it, staring at the situation in the capital, this one is the most important. This time, we can't afford to sit idly by. ”

"Sixth uncle, don't worry, I understand." Pei An's eyes burned.

Pei Zhenchuan looked at Pei An's back and walked out of the weeping flower gate, and coldly ordered Lao Zhang, who was standing behind him, "Tell the mountain, first, keep an eye on You Qing, and second, as soon as there is news of Xiao Seventeen, report it immediately." ”

Lao Zhang agreed in a deep voice, Pei Zhenchuan stood for a while, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the courtyard unhurriedly, along the verandah, and went straight into the courtyard of the patriarch Pei Mingzheng.

…………

The boat travels day and night, all the way south very quickly, the trees and fields on both sides of the river, from black and white to dry, and gradually have a little bit of thick green, thick green day by day, the weather is getting warmer day by day, but the charcoal basin in the rear cabin is still the same as the day when he first got on the boat, Li Yan felt a little cold, it seems to be a little more.

Li Yan never went to the former cabin captain Pei Qing to eat and speak, Pei Qing went to the rear cabin every day to see it, and then went to the rear cabin every day to see it, but no matter whether he stood at the door, or came in and stood and sit, Li Yan just politely and detached to greet him, and he had nothing to say in the past, and there was no more.

Pei Qing's mood became more and more depressed day by day, he could see that she was very busy, she sat in the back cabin for a day, but he could obviously see that she was very busy, which made him confused, and made him even more worried and anxious, the biggest crisis of the Pei family came.

There was more and more thick green on the bank of the river, the river was getting wider and wider, and there were more and more boats in the river.

"It's time to Yangzhou." Pei Qing stood at the door, looking very relaxed, "Take a day off, I'll accompany you into the city for a walk, just right, you should also add some clothes and jewelry." ”

"Do you have to stop for a day?" Li Yan curled up in his chair and looked up at Pei Qing.

"It's been a month or two of the road, and it's time for everyone to loosen up, here...... You can rest assured. Pei Qing didn't answer Li Yan's words directly, Li Yan lowered his eyelids, and after a moment, he got up from the chair, Yushu took a white fox silk cloak, and put it on Li Yan, which was one of the first batch of clothes that Pei Qing asked people to buy after entering Huainan Road.

Li Yan wrapped his cloak tightly, got off the boat, and went up the steps, and there was a bustling and lively street in front of him. Here, the piers along the river are the liveliest places.

Pei Qing was next to Li Yan, slightly sideways to protect her, Yushu walked on the other side, and around the three of them, there were Jin Dou and other small servants and long-term followers.

Li Yan walked very slowly, turning his head to look around very carefully as he walked. She felt very different here than she felt on the boat.

Walking to the first intersection, a tung oil cart greeted him, Pei Qing motioned to Li Yan, "Your illness is not yet well, you should not work hard, the ready-to-wear shop is still two streets away from here, take the car over." ”
